On such occasions, one must act in an open and aboveboard manner, as the emperor's words and actions have a huge impact.
Guo Shao felt respected and honored, but being in this situation all the time would make him feel uncomfortable. After all, he could not make mistakes in his words and deeds, and everything had to be polite. He would inevitably be in a state of mental tension for a long time.
The emperor is like a god, but he is still a human being. How can a human being truly achieve unity with nature and be as righteous as a god
Guo Shao knew that once he arrived at the Prince of Wei's mansion, he would be surrounded by a large group of people, and he couldn't say anything carelessly, so he wouldn't have the chance to take care of his personal matters. He thought for a moment, glanced at Fu Ermei who was sitting next to him, and then lifted the curtain of the carriage.
The eunuch Wang Zhong, who was walking outside, immediately came forward.
Guo Shao said: Cao Tai, that servant, insisted on leaving the palace. You two are old friends now, so I allow you to visit him.
After hearing this, Wang Zhong hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."
Guo Shao immediately lowered the curtain.
Wang Zhong and Cao Tai were very familiar with each other, but they were not good friends at all. Wang Zhong was originally a trusted eunuch of the previous emperor Chai Rong, and he and Cao Tai did not get along well and were on guard against each other. Later, Wang Zhong turned to Guo Shao, and was still favored by him, but he and Cao Tai had an old grudge after all, so they did not get along well. However, after Guo Shao ascended the throne, he had no conflicts with Jinzhan, and the eunuchs under him did not dare to cause trouble on the surface, so Guo Shao could still control this matter.
Now Guo Shao asked him to visit his good friend: Fu Jinzhan's attendant. Wang Zhong should understand what he meant.
Of course Guo Shao would not go to see Jinzhan casually. He felt that he should even avoid her deliberately. Although some things were very easy to do, if they were done a little bit ugly it would put Jinzhan in an embarrassing situation.
Just like this glorious scene, the royal family is too eye-catching and needs upright etiquette and morality. If Jinzhan is not well-known in the future, she will not have the confidence to speak in public.
The gate of the Prince of Wei's mansion was packed with people, even more crowded than during the New Year or other festivals, but the road was cleared by the imperial guards. When Guo Shao got off the carriage, people were kneeling down all around him. The scene at that moment was so pious that even if a god appeared on earth, he would not be more pious than this.
Wang Zhong left the crowd and asked a eunuch named Cao Tai in the mansion, saying that he was a good friend of his in the palace and he wanted to visit him.
After many twists and turns, Wang Zhong finally saw Cao Tai in a room. Cao Tai was lying on the bed. Wang Zhong understood immediately and couldn't help laughing. His round white face was so wide that he couldn't close his mouth.
Cao Tai looked at Wang Zhong unhappily: You are here to see my jokes.
I dare not. Wang Zhong's face flushed with embarrassment. Nothing could stop him from taking advantage of the opportunity to speak a few words. Eunuch Cao beat others in the palace. Who dares to touch you? Now you are like this.
Cao Tai had a complicated expression and did not respond. He was silent for a moment and said: This matter is nothing.
Wang Zhong pretended to be impressed and gave a thumbs up.
Cao Tai said calmly: "Thinking back then, the capital was in chaos. The Zhao family was slandering and plotting evil. What a big storm it was. I left the palace with my head on my shoulders to see the emperor and told him about the danger in the palace. The emperor also praised me for my loyalty and courage. Although I was a eunuch, I was more like a real man than a man. By the way, where was Eunuch Wang at that time?"
Wang Zhong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His biggest weakness was that his background was easily criticized.
Wang Zhong was embarrassed and pretended to be serious: Eunuch Cao, I don't want to ask you how you became so miserable.
Cao Tai glanced out the window.
Wang Zhong was also a man who could read the emperor's expressions. If he didn't know how to read the emperor's expressions, he wouldn't be able to stay by the emperor's side. So he stepped forward and asked quietly: "Is there a leak in the wall?"
Cao Taidao: You can find it yourself without asking others
After hearing this, Wang Zhong frowned and said: It seems that Eunuch Cao is here, which seems to be no simple matter.
Cao Tai waved his hand, and Wang Zhong leaned over to listen. The two of them whispered to each other.
After hearing this, Wang Zhong stared for a while, then looked at Cao Tai's buttocks: Eunuch Cao's bones are not hurt, so come and take a look at the injury.
Cao Tai scolded: Don't be so hypocritical. The cat will cry over the mouse, which will neither kill nor be disabled.
Cao Wang Zhongdao, good intentions are not rewarded.
The main hall of the Prince of Wei's mansion was packed with people. Fu Yanqing was carried out and struggled to get up from his chair: "It is really rude of me, your old minister, not to come out to greet you, Your Majesty."
Guo Shao hurried over and personally supported Fu Yanqing: "The King of Wei is ill, there is no need to be polite, just sit still. The Queen and I came to Hebei this time because we are worried about the King of Wei's health."
Fu Ermei also said softly: "Father must rest. His Majesty has brought a dozen imperial doctors with him, including the adopted daughter of the famous doctor and the Privy Councilor. Father will definitely be cured, so don't worry."
At this time, tears actually fell from Fu Yanqing's turbid eyes. The emperor was so kind to me. I hated that God did not give me more years. I really wanted to get on the horse again and serve Your Majesty until I died on the battlefield.
Fu Yanqing was the last Han king of a different surname in the current dynasty, and he was treated with such courtesy and favor by the emperor; and there was no sign that his favor would wane in any way. The emperor cared for and doted on the daughter of Empress Fu Yanqing, and the couple had a very good relationship.
The local civil and military officials in the hall, as well as the celebrities from all over Hebei, all felt that the Fu family was extremely prosperous and were envious.
Fu Yanqing said: Your Majesty, Queen, please take a seat.
Guo Shao did not forget to look back at the queen with concern, and the two of them walked towards the throne.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Zhong came in from the north side door. Guo Shao paused for a moment, and Wang Zhong hurriedly bent over and whispered a few words in Guo Shao's ear.
Guo Shao's expression suddenly changed, but he was facing away from the people in the hall and no one could see it.
His face turned red, and Fu Ermei couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
The anger gradually subsided, and was replaced by a bleak murderous aura. In an instant, his expression changed several times before finally returning to calm.
Guo Shao turned around and asked calmly: There is a general named Lu Chuncai in Daming Prefecture.
A man immediately stood up in a panic, and everyone looked at him. The man fell to the ground and said:
Guo Shao continued to walk to the seat above, turned his head to take a look, and said casually: General Lu has great ambitions, and his ambitions are not small.
With just one sentence, the originally lively hall suddenly quieted down and soon became completely silent. Everyone quietly looked at the man, who knelt there blankly, accepting the baptism of countless gazes.
Guo Shao waved his hand, and Wang Zhong immediately said: "Why are you still kneeling in the middle so conspicuously? The government asked you to stand up."
Lu Chuncai trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "I thank your majesty for your grace.
Guo Shao showed a gentle smile on his face, turned around and whispered a few words to Fu Ermei, and then chatted and laughed with Fu Yanqing, asking about his well-being. He only said one sentence about the short incident that just happened, and seemed to have forgotten it immediately. ..
