Fu Yanqing placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the stone table: "What a coward, how dare you bully my daughter, Fu Yanqing? Guo Qiong, bring my pigeon, I will send you the thin legs, Da Lin."
"
Just as Luo Youdu guessed.
After Fu Yanqing noticed that Guo Rong had withdrawn his troops from the front line and behaved abnormally, he first arranged for his wife to go south in the name of visiting her daughter.
As a general in charge of the army, Fu Yanqing was not allowed to enter the capital until he had received the imperial edict.
But Fu Yanqing's wife is not included in this list.
Fu Yanqing himself was not an honest and obedient person. After learning that Guo Rong was really ill, he quietly lurked into Bianjing and lived in the mansion of Jinwu General Guo Qiong.
Guo Qiong was from Lulong in Pingzhou and was known for his bravery. Because the Khitan captured Pingzhou, during the Tiancheng period, which was the Later Tang Dynasty. The Khitan captured Pingzhou, and Guo Qiong was forced to join the Khitan army and serve as the commander of the Tibetan and Han capitals.
Guo Qiong was unwilling to serve the Khitan and defected to the Later Tang Dynasty with his whole family. He was discovered by the Khitan and hunted down along the way.
Fu Yanqing coincided with the meeting and led his troops to rescue Guo Qiong's family.
Guo Qiong was a loyal man, otherwise he would not have given up his power as the commander of the Tibetan and Han Dynasties and led his people to defect to the Central Plains.
Guo Qiong worked under Fu Yanqing for several years, and was recommended to Li Siyuan by Fu Yanqing. He made great progress all the way, defeated the Shu people, ordered an imperial edict to attack Wenzhou, and fought against Shuofang. Later, he followed Fu Yanqing in the battle of Yangcheng and defeated the Khitan.
After many dynasties, Guo Qiong now serves as General Jinwu in Bianjing.
Fu Yanqing, an old warlord, has the most powerful personality in the world. He has no intention of going against Zhou, but he is afraid that something will happen in Guo Rong or in the capital, which will affect him.
After all, Fu Yanqing has been accustomed to various coups along the way. Who dares to say that Guo Rong can secure the throne?
Who can guarantee that Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde will suddenly mutiny?
Fu Yanqing has been in the army for many years and has countless subordinates and friends. It is easy to find a few people in Beijing to deliver news.
Guo Qiong is one of them.
Guo Qiong had no achievements in the Later Zhou Dynasty, but he had a high status and seniority in the Later Tang, Later Jin, and later Han Dynasty until the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was very easy to hide alone and investigate some information.
Today he told Fu Yanqing the news he had received.
It turned out that Fan Zhi was unhappy after leaving the Yanhe Hall, so he summoned some of his confidants to jointly submit a letter of opposition, hoping to force Empress Fu to take back her life.
Fu Yanqing was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He asked Guo Qiong to use flying pigeons to deliver messages to his two big dogs, ready to bite people.
Guo Qiong knew Fu Yanqing's character. He was not just talking about it, he actually wrote a letter to tease the dog.
After doing all this, Guo Qiong came to Fu Yanqing and said, "King Wei, what should we do next?"
Fu Yanqing said: "Continue to pay attention to the trends in the capital. If there is really a danger, it will be tonight. After tonight, when my second son-in-law comes back, everything will be settled, and no one will cause any more trouble in the capital.
The reason for this mess is that the boy from the Zhao family was restless. He didn't stand up at the critical moment and thought about the scheming, which gave Mr. Fan the capital to be arrogant. After tonight, everything will be fine."
**********
Night, outside Wende Hall.
Zhang Dejun stood upright, striding on horseback, and was extremely serious.
As an eunuch, Zhang Dejun does not appear to be feminine at all. On the contrary, he is extremely tall and majestic, but his appearance is a bit uglier.
He was from Shaanzhou, his real surname was Wang. He entered the palace in the early years of Xian De and was adopted as an adopted son by a chamberlain in the palace named Zhang, named Dejun.
Zhang Dejun also relied on the relationship with this chamberlain to sneak into Queen Fu's side in just five years.
Empress Fu strode out of the house, glanced at Zhang Dejun who was practicing horse steps, and said, "Go and order the kitchen to bring a bowl of porridge. I'm a little hungry."
Zhang Dejun quickly put back his airs and followed the order and left.
Walking on the road to Shangshi Bureau, Zhang Dejun's eyes flashed with doubts. Didn't the saint have dinner, so why was he hungry again?
With some curiosity, he packed the porridge from Shangshi Bureau and returned to Wende Hall.
When he walked into the palace and came to the back hall, he didn't dare to go in. He called out from outside: "Sage, the gruel is here."
Queen Fu came out, took the food box, and said, "Go to the front hall and wait. I will call you if something happens."
Zhang Dejun bowed and left.
Queen Fu did not return to the palace, but watched Zhang Dejun leave the corridor of the back hall, and then turned around and entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything for a day. Please drink some porridge."
Queen Fu personally fed Guo Rong gruel.
Guo Rong only ate a little but couldn't take it anymore. He turned his head and said, "I have nothing to do. Let me read today's memorial."
Just from Queen Fu's mouth, Guo Rong already knew how Fan Zhi fought back.
But he was not in a hurry to deal with it. This kind of childish method was completely unreasonable.
As long as Luo Youdu enters the capital, Empress Fu will have a strong backing, let alone Fan Zhi. Even if all three prime ministers, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, are included, it will not have much impact.
Of course, he can also be Empress Fu's backing. With just one word when he is awake, he can easily solve Fan Zhi. But he does not have the energy to deal with the series of problems that will arise from Fan Zhi.
Moreover, taking action on his own will not do any good to Queen Fu. Because he still has the remaining power, and Queen Fu is just pretending to be powerful...
It's better to wait a day and let Fan Zhi be arrogant for one more day.
With Luo Youdu's support, Queen Fu could easily deal with Fan Zhi.
At that time, Luo Youdu was supporting her, and it was Empress Fu who really made the decision, so she could establish Empress Fu's authority very well.
What better way to establish authority than to kill a prime minister?
Guo Rong was really thinking about Dazhou.
Queen Fu sighed softly and read today's memorial carefully.
Guo Rong listened on the sidelines and gave his opinions from time to time for Queen Fu to remember.
Because he found that Queen Fu was still too benevolent.
As a queen, benevolence is enough.
But as the empress dowager who listens to politics behind the curtain, she must have authority when handling things.
Being blindly benevolent will only make ministers fearless of the emperor's power.
Empress Fu expressed her understanding and continued, citing a memorial from the Privy Council: "The navy has made great contributions in this battle, and the deputy commander of the navy, Lin Renzhao, can be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai navy and garrisoned in Chaohu."
As soon as Empress Fu said this, Guo Rong's head suddenly hurt. He held his head with both hands and whispered through gritted teeth: "No, Zhao Kuangyin has colluded with Fan Zhi. Zhao Kuangyin has turned against him..."
Guo Rong did not object to Zhao Kuangyin competing for power with Luo Youdu, but he colluded with Fan Zhi, and the two of them worked together to deal with Luo Youdu, and even tampered with his orders. This was not simply fighting for the first place.
The navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty numbered 20,000, and it was the only army of the Great Zhou Dynasty that could be merged into the Imperial Camp Division to make up for the gap with the Imperial Palace Division and the Imperial Guard Division.
Now that the Privy Council has split up the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it also means that the left and right Hujie Army and Guo Tingwei of the Guards and Military Division will not be incorporated into the Imperial Camp Division.
How can the 20,000 Imperial Camp Secretary be the opponent of the 50,000 Palace Front Secretary?
