Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan still fell asleep with Guo Fu in her arms.
Zhang Xuan never imagined that Guo Ziyi's little daughter would be so sultry. She dragged Zhang Xuan along coquettishly and didn't let Zhang Xuan get out of bed since the afternoon. After a few hours of rest and adaptation, she began to actively seek sexual intercourse again, showing great enthusiasm during the dinner.
Among Zhang Xuan¡¯s several women, even the lively and outgoing woman like Wan Chun was too embarrassed to take the initiative to seek sexual favors. Princess Su Hudong of Huihe is considered open in this regard, but she is still slightly less than Guo Fu.
" Mensao, there is a kind of charming spirit in her bones. This time she was intimate with Guo Fu, and this layer of window paper was pierced. This was Zhang Xuan's biggest feeling.
In the second half of the night, the two caressed each other and had fun for a while, and the estrangement and alienation were quickly dissipated. After it was done, the girl Guo Fu hugged the man contentedly and fell asleep.
It was already three o'clock in the morning and the two of them had not yet gotten up.
Outside the palace, four iron guards stood there like sculptures holding hands, motionless, while two or three maids had already been waiting at the entrance of the palace, ready to enter at any time to wait for the emperor to get up.
Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian hurried over.
There was finally a slight fluctuation in the iceberg-like faces of the four iron guards. These iron guards around the emperor could be harsh with others, but they did not dare to show any slight to important ministers and close ministers like Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian. Moreover, Guo Ziyi is still the emperor's "elder", and at this moment Guo Ziyi's daughter Duan Fei is sleeping in the emperor's bed.
No matter how ignorant these tough and cold-blooded soldiers are of the world, they also know the subtleties involved.
"Mr. Guo, Marshal Yang!"
An iron guard holds his fist in the air.
Guo Ziyi has always been gentle. He smiled and nodded to the two iron guards, and said hurriedly, "Is Your Majesty here?"
Tiewei¡¯s expression suddenly became a little wonderful. He hesitated for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "Xiang Guo, this Your Majesty His Majesty is still resting, please two adults, please stay for a while!"
Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian looked at each other suspiciously. The emperor had always been diligent in his duties and extremely restrained in his sexual behavior. He had never been able to get out of bed at all times. But today, it seems Judging from Tie Wei's demeanor, it is obvious that the emperor favored a certain woman last night.
Guo Ziyi frowned and said, "I would like to inform Your Majesty that military affairs are urgent and we must meet with Your Majesty immediately!"
Yang Lian also said in a deep voice, "Of course, go and report to His Majesty immediately!"
Tie Wei rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
Guo Ziyi pointed to the two palace maids on one side, "You go in and report to His Majesty that Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian have urgent military matters and need to meet with Your Majesty!"
That maid was the personal maid brought by the emperor from Zhongjing. She was someone close to Queen Cui Ying, and her rank in the harem was relatively high. The two women hesitated for a moment, then nodded and tiptoed into Zhang Xuan's bedroom.
The two of them knelt down in front of Zhang Xuan's bed.
Zhang Xuan is more sensitive when sleeping. When he heard any movement, he immediately opened his eyes.
¡¡
¡¡
When she heard that the emperor asked her to accompany him to meet the ministers, Guo Fu felt a little embarrassed at first. But then I thought again, I am the emperor's publicly canonized concubine Duan, and I am the emperor's legal wife. Is it a shameful thing to sleep with her? So I gritted my teeth and agreed.
Under the waiting of the palace maid, the two quickly dressed up, washed their faces briefly, and announced that Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian had come in.
Zhang Xuan sat on top of her, and Guo Fu was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and was pretty, with a slight blush on her face. After being moistened by the rain and dew, the greenness of the young girl in this blooming season had receded a bit, and she had become a bit more charming.
Guo Fu endured her shame and sat beside the emperor gracefully. She is Duan Fei and cannot be disrespectful.
Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian hurried in and looked up. Guo Ziyi's expression suddenly changed. Yang Lian was stunned at first, then smiled secretly and glanced at Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi let out a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. His daughter Guo Fu's wish to be with the emperor was obviously fulfilled, and with the emperor's temperament, as long as he accepted Guo Fu, he would not neglect her in the future. There were profit considerations in sending her daughter to the palace, but Guo Ziyi was still extremely happy to see that her daughter could have a happy home.
Guo Ziyi ignored Yang Lian's "playful look" and bowed down in a decent manner, and Yang Lian also bowed down.
"My minister Guo Ziyi (Yang Lian) pays homage to Your Majesty, Concubine Duan!"
In fact, the most embarrassing person is Zhang Xuan. Although becauseThe gap between ministers and ministers is here. As an emperor, he can be aloof and maintain the majesty of the emperor. There is no need to change because of the change in his relationship with Guo Fu, but after all, he is a time traveler from modern society.
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then stood up suddenly, walked down, and personally helped Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian.
Zhang Xuan¡¯s deliberate action made Guo Ziyi feel more respected, and it can be said that she shed tears of gratitude. In Yang Lian's mind, this was a concrete manifestation of Guo Ziyi's sudden rise in status.
Guo Fu watched the emperor slowly walking back with tenderness. She understood that the emperor did this entirely to take care of her face. For such a man, no wonder Tian Kexin said that although he was an emperor, he valued love and justice For a moment, Guo Fu sat there, her mind agitated, and she couldn't help but think crazy.
Zhang Xuan returned to his throne. He couldn't do this kind of action every day or every time, maybe just this once.
"Guo Xiang, Yang Lian, why is it so urgent?" Zhang Xuan said calmly, his voice still so solemn and low.
He always called Guo Ziyi "Ziyi", but now because of Guo Fu, he changed it to "Guo Xiang".
"Your Majesty, because of the liberation of slaves and the return of farmland and pasture, some Tibetan nobles in the city were making trouble Last night, someone gathered more than a thousand servants and set fire to two mansions. They tried to attack Duolang's Xuanfu Envoy Yamen, but Yang Shuai led his army and captured it. He is currently being held in the southeast of the city, please give orders from your Majesty as to how he should be dealt with."
Since Zhang Xuan issued an edict to emancipate slaves and make fun of the privileges of the Tubo nobles, it has aroused various forms of opposition and resistance, and riots large and small continued, but they were basically suppressed immediately. But the situation last night was obviously out of control. If Yang Lian hadn't made a decisive decision and immediately sent troops to suppress it, it would have triggered a major turmoil in the city, with disastrous consequences.
Zhang Xuan frowned, pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "Give Duolang two thousand soldiers and horses, let him handle this matter, and report the results to me."
Yang Lian was startled, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Dolang is a Tubo after all. Let the Tubo handle it, right? I think that he should be severely punished and killed without mercy! If the court is soft-hearted, there will be such riots in the future. , and when the imperial army regroups, the situation will become even more difficult to control."
"It is necessary to kill one person as a warning to others. But it is still killing, and we do not need to do it ourselves. Yang Lian, Duolang is a smart man, he will understand what I mean. If the situation in Shenwu City and Tubo cannot be controlled, wait until I lead the army. When he returns to court, he will be the first to be unlucky."
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, Yang Lian's eyes lit up, and he said nothing more.
Yang Lian and Guo Ziyi were about to retreat, Zhang Xuan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Guo, please stay for a while."
After Yang Lian left, Guo Ziyi stood there awkwardly, wondering what the emperor was going to do by leaving him alone. Guo Fu, on the other hand, was even more embarrassed and lowered her head, the blush on her pretty face getting darker.
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, sit down."
Guo Ziyi clasped her fists and said, "I dare not. How can I have a seat in front of Your Majesty?"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I'm leaving you here to talk about private matters only, not state affairs. It's not appropriate for Fuer to sit here and you to stand there. In private, there is no need to be polite, come and sit down."
Guo Ziyi did not dare to refuse anymore and sat down, but her expression was still very humble.
He is a strict and loyal person who will not become arrogant and domineering just because he gains power or his daughter is favored. This is probably related to his character. And this is what Zhang Xuan values ????most about him. It is rare to see someone as comprehensive, capable and of good moral character as Guo Ziyi.
"I attach great importance to you and regard you as a minister of humerus and an example for all the ministers in the world. It has nothing to do with Fu'er and has to do with you personally. I believe you know this. Therefore, I hope that you can continue to be self-denial and serve the public, and do things for the people of the world. Share my worries."
"I can give you the greatest power, but I cannot give you the greatest power."
When Zhang Xuan said this, he paused slightly.
Guo Ziyi quickly stood up and saluted, "I understand."
"I have spared no effort to build you into a role model for hundreds of officials. Therefore, I have very high requirements for you and the Guo family. Among the people who founded our country, you have made the greatest contribution, but I have not rewarded your children and wives. This is the reason .¡±
"Do you have any complaints about this?"
Zhang Xuan smiled softly.
When Zhang Xuan left Zhongjing to go on a personal expedition, in order to appease some of the heroes, he awarded several titles to their descendants, such as the direct descendants of Feng Changqing, Pugu Huaien, Yan Zhenqing, and Zhang Ting. But Guo Ziyi's son was not canonized, and even his eldest son Guo Yao, who was about to marry the prince of Qinghe County, was not given a reward.
Guo Ziyi was frightenedHe jumped and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has shown me so much favor and grace, and I am so grateful that I can't even complain. How can my children be honored with titles without merit in the imperial court?"
"I believe you are speaking from your heart. You will be the head of a hundred officials in the future, and you will always be in the spotlight. You and the Guo family must be self-disciplined. This will stabilize your position above the court."
"A large number of knights will consume too much of the country's children. I will gradually grant fewer titles in the future. Until now, I have not knighted you or canonized your heirs. This is the reason."
"However, I will not treat you and the Guo family badly. In fact, having Fu'er by my side - this is the biggest reward for you and the Guo family, and I will not change it for a single prince"
Zhang Xuan smiled, took Guo Fu's little hand and squeezed it.
Guo Fu's eyes were full of tenderness. If her father hadn't been there, she would have thrown herself into the emperor's arms to vent her inner gratitude and emotion.
Guo Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and prostrated on the ground solemnly, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness. Long live my emperor!"
