Chapter 1101 Empress Dowager Fu Shi
,,,,,,,,,,,,
In the south of Chang'an City, a carriage was slowly sailing towards Chang'an City under the escort of famous Han cavalry. In the carriage was the queen who fled from Xuchang. Although she was no longer the queen and was respected by Liu Jing as the queen of the Han Dynasty, the Wei State did not recognize her identity as the queen, but instead made Cao Jie the queen.
The Han Dynasty needed to deny the new emperor established by Cao Pi in legal theory. In this case, Fu Shou's role was shown that she was still the recognized queen in the world. Even if the father of Cao did not dare to abolish her easily, she could determine the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty in legal theory.
Fu Shou had figured this out on the upper side, and she also understood why the Han Kingdom rescued her and sent her to Chang'an, which made her feel relieved, at least she would not live in turmoil for the rest of her life.
"Later, that's Chang'an City." Li Fu pointed to the Chang'an City Wall in the distance and introduced with a smile.
On this, Li Fu took good care of Fuhou, and Fu Shou also had a good impression of him. Fu Shou focused his mind and looked at the city wall in the distance. When she was young, she moved the capital to Chang'an with her husband. That was her most tragic memory. Hunger, cold, the destruction of Chang'an City, and the safety of life was not guaranteed. In her memory, Chang'an City was gray and black, full of a dilapidated atmosphere.
But what she saw now was a vibrant Chang'an City, with majesty standing on the vast Guanzhong Plain, making her eyes a little wet. She seemed to have seen it and revived the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that there was tears in her eyes, Li Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The queen had experienced so many ups and downs and suffered, but her heart was still so kind and sensitive. I really hope that His Highness, the King of Han, could treat her well and give her a stable second half of her life.
At this time, a team of cavalry rushed towards him and bowed to the military marquis and asked, "But Sima and his party?"
Li Fu hurriedly urged him to come forward, "I am!"
"Several prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall have been waiting in front of the Weiyang Palace. Please go directly to the Weiyang Palace and don't have to go to the city again."
Li Fu nodded and said to the team: "Go directly to Weiyang Palace!"
The cavalry team guarded the carriage from another southwest Weiyang Palace in front, and no longer entered Chang'an City. Soon, the carriage slowly came to the front of the Weiyang Palace Palace. At this time, the prime ministers and other leaders had been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time.
When the two maids supported Queen Fu off the carriage, everyone stepped forward and knelt down, "I welcome the queen!"
Fu Shou was moved and hurriedly said, "My ministers, please come up! There is no need to be too polite."
Everyone stood up, Chen Qun stepped forward and smiled, "Welcome to Chang'an later."
Fu Shou met Chen Qun, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. Chen Qun actually arrived in Han State. She then smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Chen Envoy. It's gratifying to meet an old friend in a foreign land."
Chen Qun bowed and introduced to Fu Shou, "Please introduce it to me later. This is Xu Xiangguo, the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Xiangguo, the Minister of Works, Jiang Xiangguo, the Minister of Revenue... "
Fu Shou greeted him with a smile, and she asked again: "I wonder if His Highness the King of Han is here?"
Xu Shu hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness of Han has also gone to Xuchang, probably I missed it with the queen."
Fu Shou thought that he had been to Xiangyang for a day, and probably missed it at that time. She was also a little regretful. Moreover, the King of Han was not here, what should she do? Fu Shou was silent for a moment. Xu Shu understood Fu Shou's worries and smiled and said, "Please don't worry, Your Highness the King of Han has already made arrangements before leaving. Please go to the harem first. The Princess of Han will make arrangements."
Fu Shou was only a little relieved that she got on a carriage in the palace. The carriage drove towards the harem under the left and right guards of the guards. The carriage entered Sima Gate, entered the hall area, and entered the harem area from Beiguang Gate. Soon, the carriage slowly stopped, and there was Phoenix Platform in front of it. Princess Tao Zhan and the palace were already waiting for her here.
Tao Zhan led the sisters to kneel down and salute, "Dao greets you!"
Fu Shou is a smart woman. From her peaceful life in Xuchang Palace for many years, she can see her mentality. She knows who is the master of Weiyang Palace, and she is just a guest living in Weiyang Palace.
Tao Zhan worshiped her out of etiquette, but she dared not really accept the worship of Tao Zhan and other concubines. She hurriedly stepped forward and helped Tao Zhan up, and then helped everyone up, and sincerely said to everyone: "It's Fu Shou that came abruptly and it will affect everyone's life. I hope everyone will forgive me!"
Tao Zhan smiled slightly, "What are you talking about later? Everyone will be a family in the future. I believe we will get along well, please do it later!"
Fu Shou held Tao Zhan's hand, and everyone talked and laughed and entered the Phoenix Terrace lobby. They sat down in the lobby. Tao Zhan introduced Fu Shou to all the sisters. When Cao Xian was introduced, Fu Shou was a little stunned. She didn't know that Cao Cao's daughter had become Liu Jing's second concubine. Thinking of Cao Cao killing her two children, Fu Shou was really happy, but he just nodded reluctantly because of Tao Zhan's face.
Cao Xian felt sad. Of course, she knew that her father destroyed the Fu family. Queen Fu's two sons were thrown into a bag and fell to death. These were all the sins caused by her father, and in the end they had to bear the responsibility.
Cao Xian had a hard time during this period. The Han and Cao armies fought in the Central Plains, and even their husbands took action personally. As Cao Cao's daughter, she was powerless and could only keep the pain in her heart. She bowed silently and retreated, but Sun Shangxiang next to her saw it.
At this time, a team of palace maids served tea to everyone. Fu Shou drank a sip of hot tea and smiled at Tao Zhan: "I heard for a long time that the princess is in the world. When I saw her today, she is indeed well-known. I hope the princess can take care of her. Fu is very grateful."
Fu Shou understood the truth very well, so she lowered her figure first, belittled herself, that is, flattering the other party. Tao Zhan received the care of her husband before leaving and asked her to treat Queen Fu well. Although Tao Zhan herself sympathized with Queen Fu's experience, she was also a little worried that Queen Fu would steal her position in the palace when she arrived? Will she form a trend of open and secret struggle with her?
However, today's situation made her very satisfied. Queen Fu understood the truth very well and made it clear that she would not compete with her for the Weiyang Palace. Tao Zhan was relieved and smiled and said, "There are many things to say, but the journey will be exhausted. I have arranged the palace and palace maids. Please go and rest first. I will welcome the back to the evening, and we will chat slowly in the future."
Fu Shou was really tired. She didn't ask her which palace she lived in. She smiled and nodded with everyone, then got up and went out. Tao Zhan kept sending her to the Warm Heart Hall.
Cao Xian returned to his residence. Today, the arrival of the old man made her already dull mood even more painful. She couldn't suppress her sadness. When she entered her dormitory, she cried loudly and cried happily. She felt that her mood was a little better and she was no longer depressed like she was in the afternoon.
At this time, a maid reported outside the door: "The second lady is here!"
Cao Xian was shocked. It was Sun Shangxiang who came. She hurried to the mirror to apply makeup to cover up the tears on her face. Then she came out, "Why is the second sister here?" Cao Xian said with a forced smile.
Sun Shangxiang took her hand, looked at her eyes carefully, and smiled and said, "Don't cover it up in front of me, I'm famous."
Cao Xian was seen through by her and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I just feel a little uncomfortable, second sister, don't laugh at me."
"How could I laugh at you?"
Sun Shangxiang pulled her down and smiled and said, "Today, I saw Fuhou's attitude towards you, and I knew you must be in a bad mood, so I came to comfort you."
Cao Xian lowered his head and whispered: "Thank you for your concern. Actually, I don't regret that I am cold-hearted. On the contrary, I feel sorry for her, after all...after all..."
Cao Xian's eyes turned red and could not continue to say anything. Sun Shangxiang sighed in her heart. She knew why Cao Xian felt uncomfortable. This sister was generous and always took the evil committed by her father.
"Those things actually have nothing to do with you. Your external identity is no longer the daughter of Mr. Cao, but the wife of the King of Han. You have to figure out this relationship."
"I know, but I can't deny my father. I can't pretend that nothing has nothing to do with me."
Sun Shangxiang looked at her for a moment and smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk!
Cao Xian nodded silently, stood up and walked out of the bedroom with Sun Shangxiang's arm in his arms. The two walked slowly along the shore of Yaochi. The warm breeze was blowing, and the late spring night was particularly warm and comfortable. The fragrance of flowers floated from afar, refreshing the heart.
Sun Shangxiang pulled Cao Hengman and walked slowly. The two walked to a pavilion by the water. Sun Shangxiang pointed to the pavilion and smiled, "Let's go and sit down."
The two walked into the pavilion and sat down. Sun Shangxiang laughed and said, "I was in the same mood as you before. Seeing that Jiangdong was about to perish, the Han army surrounded Jianye. My brother also wrote to me for help. Do you know how uncomfortable and desperate I was at that time? That was the foundation laid by my father and brother in blood and sweat! But my husband wanted to destroy it."
"Then how did you figure it out at that time?" Cao Xian asked in a low voice.
"I accidentally met a young couple from Jiangdong in Chang'an. From their mouths, I realized that my brother was a military force and desperately exploiting the people of Jiangdong. The people could not survive. They asked him Sun Baishai to curse the demise of the Sun family. I finally figured out that even the people of Jiangdong despised the Sun family. Why should I support such a brother who harmed the people? The demise of the Jiangdong regime will only benefit our Sun family, at least it can protect the heirs."
Cao Xian nodded, "I understand what my second sister means. Actually, I have thought that the world has been in chaos for decades and people are determined. Now my husband shoulders the important task of unifying the world and has the ambition to revive the great man. Even if Cao's army fails, the world can be unified. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Since you can think so, why are you still sad?"
"I just feel that my father has done a lot of things that hurt others. I don't know... how to atone for his father?"
Sun Shangxiang patted the back of her hand and said earnestly: "You are a good daughter. Your father will be proud of you, but you don't have to blame yourself. Your father is not a butcher like Dong Zhuo, nor is it a murderous devil who slaughtered the city and the countryside like the Yellow Turban Army. Many times, your father's behavior is the result of a power struggle. For example, if he does not make up his mind, it is the extermination of the Cao family. I believe that God will be fair, but you don't have to blame yourself too much. As I said just now, you are no longer the daughter of Cao Gong, but the wife of the King of Han. If you have to be responsible, you should blame yourself for your husband's behavior, not for your father. You are worshiping the Liu Family Ancestral Hall now. If you understand this, you can get along with your husband calmly. This is also my experience."
Cao Xian finally suddenly became a little enlightened, yes! She always regarded herself as the daughter of the Cao family, but forgot her wife of the King of Han. The responsibility on her shoulders came from her husband, not her father.
Cao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, second sister, I understand a little."
"Just understand, go! Let's go to my place to sleep tonight and talk to me."
Cao Xian nodded, and the two of them stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
