Chapter 431 Not even a prince

Chapter 441 Not even a prince

Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan still fell asleep with Guo Fu in his arms.

Zhang Xuan never dreamed that Guo Ziyi's youngest daughter would be so sullen.She dragged Zhang Xuan coquettishly, and never let Zhang Xuan get out of bed after having fun in the afternoon.After recuperating and adapting for a few hours, she began to ask for sex again, and she was extremely enthusiastic during the pillow dinner.

Among Zhang Xuan's few women, even if they are lively and extroverted like Wan Chun, they are too embarrassed to take the initiative to propose sex.The Huihe Princess Su Hudong is considered open in this regard, but it is still slightly insufficient compared to Guo Fu.

Mensao, there is a kind of coquettishness in his bones, making out with Guo Fu this time, piercing this layer of window paper, this is Zhang Xuan's greatest feeling.

In the second half of the night, the two of them caressed and rejoiced for a while, and the estrangement and alienation quickly dissipated.After finishing the work, the girl Guo Fu hugged the man contentedly and fell asleep.

So that the sun was three poles, and the two hadn't got up yet.

Outside the bedroom, the four iron guards stood there like sculptures holding hands, not moving at all, and two or three maids were already 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.

The iceberg-like faces of the four iron guards finally showed some fluctuations. The iron guards around the emperor could be harsh to others, but they did not dare to neglect such important and close ministers as Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian.Moreover, Guo Ziyi is still the emperor's "elder", and at this moment Guo Ziyi's daughter Duanfei is sleeping on the emperor's bed.

These tough and cold-blooded soldiers don't understand the world, and they also know the subtleties of it.

"Guo Xiang, Yang Shuai!"

A iron guard clasped his fists and said.

Guo Ziyi was always gentle, he nodded to the two iron guards with a smile, and hurriedly said, "Is Your Majesty here?"

Tie Wei's face suddenly became a little exciting.He hesitated for a moment, then smiled softly, "Mr. Guo, this...your majesty...your majesty is still resting, please stay a little longer, my lords!"

Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian looked at each other suspiciously. The emperor had always been diligent in his administration, and he was extremely restrained when it came to female sex.But today, it seems... Looking at Tie Wei's expression, it is obvious that the emperor favored a certain woman last night.

Guo Ziyi frowned and said, "Please inform Your Majesty that the military affairs are urgent, and we must meet Your Majesty immediately!"

Yang Lian also said in a deep voice, "Of course, you should hurry up and report to His Majesty!"

Tie Wei rubbed his hands with some embarrassment.

Guo Ziyi pointed to the two maids on one side, "Go in and report to His Majesty, just say that Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian have urgent military affairs and need to meet His Majesty!"

The palace lady was the emperor's personal maid brought out from Zhongjing, she was the person next to Empress 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 knelt down in front of Zhang Xuan's bed.

Zhang Xuan sleeps more sensitively, and immediately opened his eyes when he heard movement.

……

……

Hearing that the emperor wanted her to accompany him to meet the ministers, Guo Fu felt a little embarrassed at first.But then I thought about it again, I am the concubine Duan concubine publicly conferred by the emperor, and the emperor's legal wife, so it is something shameful to serve the bed.So he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Under the wait of the maid, the two quickly dressed neatly, washed their faces after a while, and Xuan Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian came in.

Zhang Xuan sat on it, and Guo Fu was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, her face was slightly flushed, after being moistened by rain and dew, the greenness of this young girl in the blooming season receded a little, and her charm became a little more.

Guo Fu held back her shame and sat down beside the emperor in a graceful manner.She is a concubine Duan, so she can't lose her manners.

Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian rushed in and looked up, Guo Ziyi's expression changed immediately.Yang Lian was stunned at first, then smiled secretly, and glanced at Guo Ziyi.

Guo Ziyi heaved a sigh of relief, and felt relieved.It was obvious that his daughter Guo Fu was with the emperor, and the emperor's temperament, as long as he accepted Guo Fu, he would not neglect her in the future.Sending her daughter into the palace has profit considerations, but seeing her daughter have a happy home, Guo Ziyi is still extremely gratified in her heart.

Guo Ziyi ignored Yang Lian's "playful gaze" and bowed down in a regular manner, and Yang Lian also bowed down.

"Chen Guo Ziyi (Yang Lian) pays homage to Your Majesty, Concubine Duan!"

In fact, the most embarrassing one was Zhang Xuan.Although because of the gap between monarch and subject, he, the emperor, can stand high and continue to maintain the majesty of the emperor, and does not have to change because of changes in his relationship with Guo Fu, but he is a traveler from modern society after all.

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly got up, walked down, and helped Guo Ziyi and Yang Lian up by himself.

Zhang Xuan's deliberate action made Guo Ziyi feel respected, and it can be said that he was grateful.In Yang Lian's mind, this is the concrete manifestation of Guo Ziyi's sudden rise in status.

Guo Fu looked tenderly at the emperor walking back slowly, she understood that the emperor did this purely to take care of her face.Such a man, it's no wonder Tian Kexin said that although he is an emperor, he values ​​love and righteousness... For a moment, Guo Fu sat there, his mind was agitated, and he couldn't help thinking crazy.

Zhang Xuan returned to his throne.It is impossible for him to do this kind of action every day, every time, maybe just this time.

"Guo Xiang, Yang Lian, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Xuan said calmly, his voice still so dignified and deep.

He always called Guo Ziyi "Ziyi", but now because of Guo Fu, he changed it to "Guo Xiang".

"Your Majesty, because of the emancipation of the slaves and the resumption of the land and pastures, some Tubo nobles in the city are making noise...Last night, someone gathered more than a thousand servants and set fire to two mansions in an attempt to attack Duolang's Xuanfu envoy's yamen, but Yang Shuai led the army to take it down. It is currently being held in the southeast of the city, how to deal with it, please make an order from Your Majesty."

Ever since Zhang Xuan liberated the slaves and made fun of the privileged edict of the Tubo nobles, it has aroused various forms of opposition and resistance. There have been many riots, large and small, but they were basically suppressed immediately.But the situation last night was clearly out of control. If Yang Lian hadn't made a decisive decision and immediately sent troops to suppress it, it might have caused a big turmoil in the whole city, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Zhang Xuan frowned, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand abruptly and said, "Give Duolang two thousand soldiers and horses, let him judge this matter, and report the result to me."

Yang Lian was startled, and then cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, after all, Duo Lang is from Tubo, let the Tubo people deal with it, don't you... I think that you should be severely punished and killed without mercy! If the court is soft, there will be such riots in the future , and waiting for the imperial court to lead the army, the situation will be even more difficult to control."

"Killing one to warn others is a must. But it's also killing people, so we don't need to do it ourselves. Yang Lian, Duo Lang is a smart man, he will understand what I mean. If you can't control the situation in Shenwu City and Tubo, wait for me to lead the army When he returns to court, he will be the first one to be unlucky."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, Yang Lian's eyes lit up, and he didn't say much.

Yang Lian and Guo Ziyi were about to retreat, Zhang Xuan raised his hand suddenly and said, "Guo Xiang, please stay here."

After Yang Lian left, Guo Ziyi stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what the emperor was going to do by leaving him alone.Guo Fu, on the other hand, was even more embarrassed, she lowered her head, and the blush on her pretty face became more intense.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Guo Xiang, 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, "Leave you here, only discussing private matters, not state affairs. Fu'er is sitting here, and you standing there is not proper. In private, there is no need to be formal, come and sit."

Guo Ziyi didn't dare to refuse anymore, and sat down, but her demeanor was still very humble.

He is a rigorous and loyal person, and he will not become arrogant and domineering because of his momentary power or his daughter's favor, which probably has something to do with his character.And this is what Zhang Xuan valued him the most.It is rare to see people as comprehensive, capable and of good character as Guo Ziyi.

"I use you a lot, and regard you as the minister of the humerus, and the example of the ministers of the world. It has nothing to do with Fu'er, but has to do with you personally. I believe you know this well. Therefore, I hope you can continue to be self-denying and serve the public, and do things for the people of the world. Share your worries for me."

"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 got up and saluted, "I understand."

"I have spared no effort to make you a role model for all officials. Therefore, I have very high demands on you and the Guo family. Among the few people who founded the country, you have contributed the most, but I did not reward your children and madam. This is the reason .”

"Do you have any complaints about this?"

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

When Zhang Xuan was about to leave Zhongjing Yujia for his personal expedition, in order to appease some meritorious officials, he conferred titles on several of their descendants, such as the direct descendants of Feng Changqing, Pugu Huai'en, Yan Zhenqing, Zhang Tong and others.But there was no canonization of Guo Ziyi's son, even Guo Yao, the eldest son who was about to marry Qinghe County King, did not add a reward.

Guo Ziyi was taken aback, and knelt down, "Your Majesty has shown me so much favor and favor, and I am so grateful, how dare I complain. The children of the minister have no merit to the court, so how can they be honored!"

"I believe what you said is from your heart. You will be the head of the officials in the future, and you will always be in the spotlight. You and the Guo family must be self-disciplined and self-policing. This will stabilize your position above the court."

"A large number of titles will consume too much of the country's children, and I will gradually reduce the number of titles in the future. This is the reason why I haven't titled you or your children until now."

"However, I will not treat you and the Guo family badly. In fact, having Fu'er by my side - this is the greatest reward for you and the Guo family, not even a prince..."

Zhang Xuan smiled, and squeezed Guo Fu's little hand.

Guo Fu's eyes were full of tenderness. If her father hadn't been by her side, she would definitely have thrown herself into the emperor's embrace to vent her inner gratitude and emotion.

Guo Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed down solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor!"
