That night until he fell asleep, Guo Shao didn't get any news from Zhou Xian, so he let the matter go.

The dynasty came the next morning, the winter days were short, and it was still dark when I left home. When Guo Shao took the people to Maxing Street, he saw a long string of lanterns on the street, which was extremely spectacular. The shops on the street opened early. Many officials waited in front of the steaming shops and waited for their entourage to buy pancakes. It seemed that many people rushed out without even having breakfast. The cold weather can't stop the excitement of the early morning.

The envoy of Shu Guoting Station (Embassy) was also summoned to participate in the dynasty, but it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Above the main hall, the deputy envoy Wei Renpu reprimanded the envoy of the Shu state to his face: "The old man heard that Shu had contacted the Southern Tang and the Northern Han Dynasty with the intention of my country during the funeral of our country. Is this possible?"

The envoy of the Kingdom of Shu was angry upon hearing this: "Da Zhou Yu Xiande attacked our country at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and seized the land of Qin Fengcheng four states. It has always been Da Zhou's actual attack on my country; has our country provoked Da Zhou? It can be seen that there is no such thing. Matter!"

Wei Renpu said: "There is the main memorial of Jingnan Kingdom as a basis, but you can't admit it."

The envoy frowned and said: "Jingnan is a small country, often sow discord."

At this moment, a quiet voice said slowly in a majestic tone: "The Ai family has never heard of the two-day phenomenon in the sky, nor has it heard that there can be two emperors in the world. The lord of Shu now claims to be the Emperor of Shu, It is because of the arrogance of the lord of Shu that the war will be provoked. Why doesn’t the lord of Shu abolish the title and appoint the emperor of Da Zhou as the suzerain?"

The envoy said: "Queen dowager, when the first emperor of Dashu established the throne, the Zhou Dynasty did not exist. The emperor of Dashu proclaimed the emperor first, and the Zhou dynasty is after the founding of the country. How can we say that the king is not a minister?"

Fu Jinzhan's voice is already angry: "Since ancient times, small things are big and justified. Shu is a corner of the country, and it should be the main thing."

Wang Pu went out and worshiped: "The Queen Mother, since the monarchs and officials of the Shu Kingdom have no court and disrespect, the ministers please use troops against Shu to seize the superiority and inferiority of the country!"

At this time, the envoy of the Kingdom of Shu sneered and said: "The Great Zhou always added soldiers together. If you want to add to the crime, why do you blame my emperor with your honor?"

"Bold!" shouted an **** above, "You dare to disobey the queen mother and don't want to live anymore?"

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "You don't have to worry about a small envoy with him, and issue an edict to the Lord of Shu. If he doesn't give up his title, he can only distinguish himself in the battlefield."

After a while, the **** sang: "If something happens, retreat if nothing happens."

Guo Shao and his ministers bowed to thank you and sent troops to Xiangxun. It happened that half a month had passed. Since the fight is about to start anyway, it doesn't matter what the attitude of Shu State is... He didn't say anything just now, but now he can't keep a low profile. Everyone heard that troops were going to be deployed, and they all got up from the ground and looked at Guo Shao.

Fu Jinzhan almost summoned him after each dynasty. This time was no exception. When searching outside the gate of Jinxiang Hall in the morning, an **** asked him to step back and see the Queen Mother in advance.

So Guo Shao withdrew from the main hall of Jinxiang Temple and waited in the open hall waiting for the summon. Not long after, the **** Cao Tai walked in and said, "The Queen Mother summons General Guo now. General Guo, please come with the miscellaneous family."

Guo Shao entered the apse from the tunnel and saw Fu Jinzhan in a study room. As usual, with a group of attendants standing in the outer hall, Fu Jinzhan would deliberately avoid being alone with Guo Shao's lone man and widow in the palace.

Fu Jinzhan seemed a little angry at this time. Guo Shao can understand that everyone treats her with respect, and dare not disobey her. Today, a small envoy of the Kingdom of Shu does not even kneel down, and regards himself as an envoy of the "Emperor of Shu". The tone is really called Fu Jinzhan, very unpleasant.

When she met Guo Shao, she straightened her neck and said: "You said that you should choose the Kingdom of Shu, and you were right. The Nantang Kingdom is so respectful, how can we use them first? What is the'Emperor of Shu'," It's unreasonable!"

Guo Shao said softly: "If the Kingdom of Shu doesn't respond like this, the Queen Mother will have to think about inspiring the teacher and mobilizing the crowd. Wouldn't you worry about it now?"

Fu Jinzhan was slightly startled after hearing this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You can think about it."

Guo Shao said: "As long as you can't fight with real swords and guns, your face and dignity are paperless. The queen mother does not need to be familiar with the ‘Emperor of Shu,’ and she will vent her anger if she destroys her country after a while."

Fu Jinzhan brushed the wide sleeves of his dress, and said in deep thought, "Do you think Xiang Gong can take Hanzhong?"

"The force is completely enough. The key is that Qingniling Road is not easy to pass. There is often rain on the mountains and the roads are muddy. The Shu soldiers are unbearable. If Xiang Gong can pass Qingniling, I believe he can attack Hanzhong. "Guo Shao said.

Fu Jinzhan looked at him again and said softly: "The Southern Tang Kingdom Lord Li Jing sent envoys to write a letter. If you want to take Li Yu and his wife back to China, would you like to let Zhou Xian go?"

"If she wants to go, just follow her." Guo Shao said, "Zhou Xian is not my family, she has her own family and identity, I don't need to guard her like a father and brother. She should be given the right to choose."

Fu Jinzhan thoughtfully, whispered softly: "Just now you said that there is no strength and face dignity is paper. In this case, she has no right to choose. Why is it extra different to Zhou Xian?" /

Guo Shaodao: "Women are different. At this time, men are inferior to women. Women and children are the weak. Violence is used on the weak, and there is no sense of accomplishment or practical benefit. I would rather give them enough respect …So it is recommended to amend the “crime of adultery” in the Zhou Dynasty law, and women who commit this crime should not be punished with insults. This is persecution of women and children and abuse of power.” He took the opportunity to say, “The minister recommends Kaifeng Fu Zuo. The magistrate Huang Binglian entered the Dali Temple and presided over some legal revisions."

Fu Jinzhan's face turned red when he heard the ugly word adultery, and he suddenly lost his mood. His eyes flickered and said: "It's up to you... That's it for today."

Guo Shao got up and said, "The minister retire."

……

It didn't take long for Zhou Xian and his wife to get an edict that allowed them to return to China.

It turned out to be so light, even the preparations Zhou Xian thought about beforehand, such as compelling death, were not necessary. After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has always been a big country recognized by the world. Even the hostile Northern Han and Liao Kingdoms also recognized this. Their official edicts are still relatively authoritative. Zhou Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little surprised... because she thought that a man who had the right to possess her would want to do it with Fang Design. This is experience; for example, Li Hongji, regardless of brotherhood, forced her husband to offer her.

However, Guo Shao let the court release an edict, and Zhou Xian somehow felt a little lost.

"Leave tomorrow." Li Yu next to him said happily.

Zhou Xian showed a smile: "The husband is finally going to be happy."

She thought: That's it.

There was a gloom in Li Yu's double pupil, and he said in a low voice: "My...thing, only Ehuang knows about it. Others just think I'm spoiling you. Don't let it out. Anyone, otherwise my father would not make me a prince."

Zhou Xian said: "Am I the kind of woman who can tell these secret things?"

Li Yu recovered calmly, and said casually: "I heard Zan Jurun said that in the hall of the Zhou Dynasty this morning, the envoy of Shu made annoyed the Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty with his rude words, and may have to use troops against Shu. This is good, but look back. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the father was restored and had good friendship with the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty had no reason to use troops against the Southern Tang Dynasty first; the disaster of war must first be the turn of Shu."

Zhou Xian remembered the content of Guo Shao’s secret letter, and couldn’t help saying: “The Kingdom of Shu is in the upper reaches of the Southern Tang, with cold lips and teeth. We can’t take pleasure in the misfortune.”

Li Yudao: "(Later) Shu Jianguo has not been attacked for decades. Because of the thick mountains on all sides, it cannot be broken overnight."

He said a few words casually and said: "While it is still early, I will go to see Wang Pu, the official book of the Ministry of Rites, so that I can say goodbye to the Zhou Dynasty. It happens to be a long-term good for the two countries to exchange courtesy."

After hearing this, Zhou Xian found out the clothes for him to go out, dressed him up, and sent Li Yu out.

She stayed in the hall all day long without going out, so as not to cause trouble, she was upset for a while. At this time, an entourage came back to report the letter, and Wang Pu, the Shangshu of the Zhou Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, held a banquet for Li Yu to practice. He did not return at noon.

After hearing this, Zhou Xian said in his heart: In the past, Li Yu wanted to befriend Wang Pu and couldn’t, but now Wang Pu is so enthusiastic; maybe Da Zhou was really determined to use troops against Shu, so he took the initiative to show his favor to Southern Tang. Avoid deploying troops on two fronts.

She didn't care too much about these things, and her thoughts passed by. Now she suddenly had an idea: the kind of banquet that the husband attended will last a long time, that is to say, from now to noon or even afternoon, she has the opportunity and time...the opportunity to meet Guo Shao. At this time, Zhou Xian's heart turned out to be "banging", and his heartbeat couldn't calm down.

But... she stared at the charcoal fire in the middle of the room for a while, what did she see him doing?

She wanted to know what Guo Shao thought of the three-time-skinned dear, perhaps only because of her lustful playfulness, otherwise, how could she ignore it afterwards? If so, I would give up too much. But Zhou Xian felt that it was not quite right. What if he denies it? After returning to the Southern Tang State, do you still have to worry about his failure...It would be better to give up. It's right to treat your husband with one mind, and keep the oath of the past.

Time just passed bit by bit, Zhou Xian was suffering in loss and shame. Waiting for Li Yu to come back, losing the opportunity; or seizing the only opportunity before parting.

Say goodbye, nothing to say, nothing to do. Otherwise, with such regrets, she felt that she would still be psychologically entangled for a long time.

At this moment, suddenly a slave and maid walked outside the bedroom door and said, "Madam, a messenger is here, claiming to be someone sent by Zhou Duan. He said that he would give the letter to Madam himself."

Zhou Xian was uncontrollably surprised. The last time Guo Shao sent someone to deliver the letter, he used Zhou Duan's name. At the moment, he took a cloak and put it on his body, put on the drapery, and walked quickly to the outside of the bedroom.
