In Nanjing in late July, the heat at the beginning of the month was gone. The weather in this era, or the weather in recent decades, is that summers are extremely hot and go quickly, and winters are cold and come quickly.
In late July, there is a slight hint of autumn coolness.
In the imperial city, officials arranged government offices.
Zhang Zhao is handling government affairs.
The Kingdom of Wu is about to be unified, and there are many government affairs and things to do. Zhang Zhao is busy in the Ministry of Officials every day. In addition, the place is getting bigger, memorials from various places are being presented, and there is a lot of government affairs. Although various departments are responsible for their responsibilities, in the end, Zhang Zhao has to make the final decision, so it is very busy.
In addition, as the great steward of the Wu Kingdom, Zhang Zhao not only had to take care of government affairs, but also considered various matters such as selecting servants in the imperial city and supplying the royal family.
Lu Xuan was the King of Wu. When he was in Shu County, there was only one large palace and there weren't many things going on.
Now in the imperial city, Lu Xuan's concubines all have their own palaces. Under this premise, each palace must recruit maids and arrange eunuchs. This is what must be arranged in the early stages of the establishment of the foundation.
The accumulation of things from all aspects kept Zhang Zhao busy most of the time, and he also worked in the staff department at night.
Under the night, the lights in the duty room of the official department were brightly lit.
Zhang Zhao is arranging the autumn harvest, which is a major event every year. Spring plowing and autumn harvest are the top priority of Wu State. There can be no carelessness at any time, so Zhang Zhao personally arranges the political affairs of autumn harvest in various places.
While Zhang Zhao was busy, there was a sound of footsteps. Xue Zong entered, bowed and said: "Zhang Shangshu."
Previously, Xue Zong was attracted by Lu Xuan and wanted to poach Zhang Zhao away. Fortunately, after Zhang Zhao complained, Lu Xuan agreed to let Xue Zong stay with Zhang Zhao for one year to deal with the matter.
There were a lot of things going on in the past two years, so Zhang Zhao approached Lu Xuan again, hoping to keep Xu Zong temporarily, so until now, Xue Zong is still working by Zhang Zhao's side. The current Xue Zong is like Zhang Zhao's secretary.
Xue Zong was responsible for communicating to Zhang Zhao all matters concerning the official department.
Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Jingwen, what's the matter?"
Xue Zong took out a letter from his sleeve and reported: "Reporting to the minister, it is the letter sent back by the king. Please read it."
Zhang Zhao took it and browsed it quickly.
After reading it, a look of joy appeared on his face. Lu Xuan captured Cao Cao, destroyed Cao Cao's Qin Kingdom, and destroyed the Han Dynasty. The emperor had surrendered, and Liangzhou was pacified. Lu Xuan was on his way back from Guanzhong.
Zhang Zhao looked down carefully and was a little surprised when he saw what happened next. In the letter, Lu Xuan made too many adjustments to the state of Wu, involving Yuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou, all of which needed adjustment.
Zhang Zhao read the letter, handed it to Xue Zong, and said: "Xue Zong, you are responsible for drafting the imperial edict and drafting the transfer orders for the personnel involved in the king's letter, and then arranging them. The king is about to return in triumph, and we, the Wu Kingdom, will dominate the world. ”
"Here!"
Xue Zong bowed and took it.
There was also a look of joy on his handsome face, and he said: "The king rules the world. As the head of the six departments, Shangshu, you will definitely go one step further and be praised by the king. Thanks to the Shangshu's painstaking efforts over the years."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and chuckled: "What I do is just the icing on the cake. The real contribution is from the king and the generals who followed the king in the east and west."
Xue Zong said: "Shang Shu is too humble."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand and said: "Everyone's transfer orders must be arranged tonight. I will review them tomorrow morning and notify them quickly. This transfer will change the structure of Wu State, so we can't be careless."
Xue Zong said seriously: "Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task."
Zhang Zhao ordered: "Go to work and prepare overnight. In addition, the news that the king has unified the world will be spread directly, so that the subjects of Wu State can enjoy it together, let everyone know the news, and make my subjects of Wu State happy. .”
"As you command!"
Xue Zong stood up and left.
There will definitely be a lot of things coming next.
Zhang Zhao re-wrote the battle report on the front line, only covering the news that Lu Xuan was about to return in triumph, and that Cao Cao had surrendered to Wu and returned with him. These messages were to be sent to Da Qiao, so Zhang Zhaocai wrote a special copy.
After the letter was written, Zhang Zhao called the chamberlain and asked someone to deliver the letter to the harem. He is an official and cannot see the princess at will, so it is most appropriate to arrange for a servant to deliver the message.
The chamberlain sent the letter to the maid next to Da Qiao, and then sent it to Da Qiao's hands.
Da Qiao felt happy and excited after reading the letter.
The husband is about to triumph.
The world is unified!
It's all good news.
Da Qiao was also a little excited. He didn't expect that one day, the person he married would become the master of the world. After she was a little happy, she regained her composure, thought about it, and arranged for people to invite sisters Cao Xian and Cao Jie.
It was already evening, and the night was dark, but Sister Cao Xian soon followed.
The two entered the palace and saluted respectfully.
Da Qiao presided over the harem and generally kept the bowl of water in the harem level. Although there were more people, there were some minor verbal issues and some minor disputes, but on the whole, the harem still maintained harmony.
Da Qiao asked someone to give her a seat. When Cao Xian and Cao Jie sat down, she smiled slightly and said: "During this period, my husband has led people north to attack Luoyang. Both of you are worried about the safety of King Qin. Now, the war in the north is over. There’s news.”
Cao Xian quickly asked: "Is my father safe? Also, how is the king? Is he safe?"
Cao Jie also looked over.
Both women were worried.
It is true that they are married women, women of the Lu family. However, Cao Cao and Cao Ang were both their relatives, so even if they got married, they wouldn't care.
One side is parents and relatives, the other side is husband, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh.
Da Qiao looked very relaxed and said: "Whether it is King Cao Cao of Qin, your brother Cao Ang, or other members of the Cao family, they are all very safe. At present, the king has led his army to attack Luoyang, destroyed the Han Dynasty, and has made a triumphant return to Banshi. on the way.”
"The King of Qin surrendered his country, and the King of Qin led his people to submit to your Majesty. This time, they will all come to Nanjing together. I estimate that after another ten days or so, it may not take that long for you to be reunited as a family."
"call!!"
Cao Xian and Cao Jie were relieved.
Worry, completely relieved.
Both women were afraid that something would happen to Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao was safe, they no longer had any worries. Although the two women were staying in the deep palace, they both thought that Cao Cao could not win after hearing about the situation in Wu State.
Cao Xian bowed and said, "Thank you, sister."
Cao Jie said: "Thank you, Princess."
Da Qiao looked gentle and said: "We are all one family, no need to be polite. The king is on his way back, and you will also see the king and King Qin, so be prepared."
"Here!"
Cao Xian and Cao Jie bowed and left.
Da Qiao arranged for the maids around him to deliver the news that Lu Xuan had won and was about to triumph. As the master of the harem, Da Qiao has to contact and arrange many things.
After everything was arranged, Da Qiao was increasingly looking forward to it.
