Three hundred and seventeenth chapter shoulder bowed head
"I have no taste for flattery, but I only listen to you, so that I can succeed and protect the emperor's favor." Preface to Shi Chushi
Outside the Xiang Hall.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer talking, Guo Cainv looked at Zhao Cainu, who had followed Fu Shou, and quietly retreated to the verandah outside the palace.
Zhao Cainv was the most capable palace servant around Fu Shou. She was as steady and cautious as Fu Shou, but she was a bit more sophisticated and worldly than Fu Shou. It was because of her presence that the people in the palace did not dare to act casually. Fooling Fu Shou, who has a good personality.
It is said that her family used to be a powerful local in Luoyang. Because Dong Zhuo plundered the wealthy people in Henan and the family was ruined, they were entrusted to Fu Wan, the Marquis of Buqi. Although Fu Wan wanted to accept the old friendship with the Zhao family for the time being, but in that place everyone was During times of crisis, Fu Wan was always worried about being implicated. Finally, it happened that Fu Shou was elected to the palace, so Zhao Cainv was sent to the palace together, so that he could take care of her and hide her whereabouts.
Zhao Cainu has been influenced by her family since she was a child, and she is also older, so her vision of the city is even more profound than that of Guo Cainu, who was born among the people. Fushou treated her well, so the two of them usually regarded her as sisters, but they did not treat Song Du. She likes the personality of the other party's little daughter, and even looks down on Guo Cainv, who is from a humble background next to Song Du. She usually talks in an indifferent manner.
Guo Cainv is from the border area of Liangzhou. Her family moved to the mainland a long time ago due to Qiang chaos. Her humble background has always made her feel inferior. Moreover, Zhao Cainv is very courageous. She has always been in awe of others. Whenever they stand together and talk, she always feels that she is inferior to others. , at this time, thinking of Fu Shou and his kindness, he came to comfort and rescue him, and he also wanted to please the other party and connect his feelings, so he smiled and said, "The friendship between the nobles is really deep. If it weren't for Fu Gui, this time, I really don’t know how to persuade him.”
"Friendship is indeed valuable, but..." Zhao Cainv turned her head indifferently and glanced at Guo Cainu lightly. "In this palace, if you can help for a while, who can help for a lifetime? In the end, you still have to rely on yourself. If If someone gets involved one day, what does this mere friendship mean?"
Guo Cainu's expression was stiff and she was speechless for a moment. Zhao Cainu continued, "My noble family is kind and generous, and the most important thing is friendship, but this is not the reason why you always take advantage of it. If His Majesty was still here when I came just now, How can I be persuaded by my noble family's unspeakable temperament before the anger subsides? When the time comes, no one can save anyone, and you will be satisfied? No matter whether you have thought of this or not, just because you only care about it You are a noble person, but you don't think about others, which shows that the friendship in your eyes is not valuable."
"Sister, I misunderstood." Guo Cainv secretly complained, and quickly explained, "I would never dare to have such thoughts! It was really a moment of urgency at the time, and I just wanted to find someone who had enough weight and could talk to me to come and persuade me. "Fan, the eldest princess was here before, but now the eldest princess is far away from the palace and it is inconvenient to come and go. After thinking about it, I thought of Yuanluan Palace..." She saw the contempt on Zhao Cainv's face, and knew that the other party hated her for almost being involved. Fu Shou was afraid that this incident would affect the friendship between Song Du and Fu Shou in the future, so his tone became more anxious, "If sister still doesn't believe it, I really don't know how to clear up this injustice."
Zhao Cainu sneered. She knew that Guo Cainu was the most shrewd, capable and resourceful person. If he said that the other party did not think of such a long-term plan, she would not believe it at all. Just for the sake of Fu Shou and Song Du, Zhao Cainu could not do anything. He had to save a semblance of face, so he said in a warning tone, "How can I blame you for running around asking for help for your noble family? But you have to understand that Song noble has been favored by His Majesty since he entered the palace. Why should anyone be upset by a quarrel?" I advise, it will be fine after that. But my noble family..."
As she said this, she shook her head helplessly and said mockingly, "I couldn't say that I had much love before, and since the Queen came, I can't even say that. If she was treated coldly and wanted to recover, wouldn't she be better than your family?"
Is it a hundred times harder for noble people?"
Guo Cainu felt some regret at this time, but she was not convinced. She just tried her best to act submissive and submissive in front of Zhao Cainu, and did not dare to argue a word.
Zhao Cainu saw that she was sleeping well at this moment, and the anger in her heart disappeared. She finally warned her, "Next time this happens again, I will never obey her."
I can't help you say whether I want to or not.
Guo Cainv said to herself unhappily, but she nodded in agreement. At this time, a woman in palace clothes walked over under the verandah, with a black silk tied on her head without any hairpins, which made her look
More supple, black and bright. This woman is extremely beautiful, especially those eyes that look forward to her appearance. Even as a woman, Guo Cainv can't help but be surprised.
If the woman hadn't been wearing the clothes of an ordinary palace servant, Guo Cainu would have almost mistaken her for a concubine whom the emperor had taken into his care at some point.
"Sister." The woman came over gracefully, first bowed to Zhao Cainv, and then greeted Guo Cainv and said, "Ms. Zou has met Guo Cainv."
"This is Cainv who was selected years ago. The eldest princess chose her for Yuanluan Palace." Zhao Cainv explained lightly, with a slightly proud tone in her tone.
Guo Cainu felt sad and had an indescribable feeling.
Zou didn't care about the two people's thoughts and complexes, she just smiled and said the reason for coming, "The noble man said that he would stay here tonight for board and lodging, and asked Lady Fang to guard the Yuanluan Palace."
Zhao Cainu thought of something, and her sullen face suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, "Fang Nu is afraid of the dark, but noble people actually appoint people intentionally."
"Who makes her doze on the porch and eat greedily on weekdays? They all say that she came to the palace to enjoy the blessings. If you don't give me some advice, I won't obey." Although Zou's words were full of complaints, her expression was full of anger.
There was a smile between them, which showed that she had a deep relationship with that person.
Zhao Cainv smiled helplessly and shook her head. She no longer paid attention to Guo Cainv who was standing beside her, and walked away to make arrangements with Zou.
However, it is said that the emperor came out of the Pixiang Hall, boarded his chariot, and went straight to the Qingliang Hall. On the way, he announced the edicts to the ministers. After arriving at the promulgation room, from the Sikong Zhao Wen, the Taiwei Dong Cheng and other three princes below, the Chengming Hall assisted the ministers.
All the ministers were waiting for the emperor at the palace gate.
The emperor strode up the steps of the palace, glanced at the crowd, and found that Yang Zan, the minister's order, was still at home because he was sick and had not yet arrived. He didn't know what he thought of for a moment, and suddenly sneered and walked into the palace.
Everyone was overwhelmed by the sneer and felt uneasy in their hearts. After they paid their respects one by one and sat down, the emperor held the dead locusts in his hands and threw them on the floor tiles of the atrium, covered with black and white.
The slurry locusts lie on the clean and cold floor tiles in an extremely unexpected and unsightly manner, piercing everyone's heart deeply. How much hatred must the emperor have in his heart to pinch a bug until now?
"What a great job serving the country!"
The cold shout that followed made everyone afraid to sit still, and they all bowed down to apologize.
The emperor stretched out his hand and allowed Mu Shun, who was still in the palace, to wipe the dirt on his hands with silk cloth. He did not ask them to get up, but said to himself, "Last year, we mentioned that there might be drought locusts this year. Some people didn't take it seriously. At the beginning of this year, I
He also issued an edict to all counties in Guanzhong to search for insect eggs and kill all the katydids. Now half a year has passed and there is still no peace in the place, but the locusts dare to fly into the palace! Such ineffectiveness in doing things will make this
Is this what you have been saying all day long, 'In consideration of the world, in consideration of all the peoples'?"
