Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 316
As the scattered dust settled, the civil and military ministers gradually appeared.

Many of them are in a state of ignorance now, they just heard a general idea, and they haven't even demonstrated clearly whether it is right or wrong.

The only thing he knew was that Luo Youdu had won.

Civil servants and military generals of this era, even if they have not experienced the turmoil themselves, have heard of it a lot.

Before the victory or defeat is decided, they dare not get involved, dare not get involved, and play it safe.

But once the winner is decided, you must come out as soon as possible to enjoy the fruits of victory with the winner.

Otherwise, according to the past rules, nine out of ten will be liquidated.

These are all experiences.

So everyone was behind Luo Youdu, especially those generals who had close contacts with Zhao Kuangyin, they were even more frightened at the moment, fearing that they would be dragged down by Zhao Kuangyin.

Everyone pushes the wall down, but that's all.

When all the civil and military officials heard him say to see His Majesty, they all followed him quickly.

They walked with the speed of Luo Youdu's pace, no one dared to take a step ahead of him, and no one was willing to lag behind and slow down others.

Guo Rong recuperated in Wende Hall, located in the center of Da Nei.

Going deep into the palace, the bloody smell is extremely strong and messy everywhere.

The soldiers trapped in the imperial city saw the bad situation, some of them became mentally disturbed under pessimism, and gave birth to the wildness of animals, some started to kill people indiscriminately, and some even attacked the maids in the palace and defiled them.

Fires even broke out in some places. As for the mess underground, damaged utensils can be found everywhere.

Luo Youdu looked at the anger in his heart, and ordered: "Everyone involved in the turmoil, no one will stay."

He stepped up and quickened his pace.

Arriving outside the Hall of Wende, the first thing Luo Youdu saw was Fan Zhi, to be precise, Fan Zhi's body.

He fell on the steps below Wende Highness, knocking his head on the steps, he should have killed himself.

"Pooh!"

Wei Renpu spit on the ground to express his disdain.

Luo Youdu asked Fan Zhi to be invited on purpose, but Fan Zhi's family didn't know what was going on, so they said truthfully: "The Xianggong and the commander-in-chief were summoned by His Majesty and went into the palace together."

Therefore, everyone knew that Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin were in the same group, and they were still sitting in the palace.

Coming closer, Luo Youdu found that Fan Zhi was holding a blood book full of blood characters in his hand, which he tore off the cloth to write.

The blood on the ground is still flowing, which shows that it hasn't been long since the guy was killed.

Luo Youdu probably looked at Zhao Kuangyin's body, or after the defenders surrendered, he knew he was going to die and didn't want to be humiliated, so he just came here and committed suicide by bumping the steps.

When he came to the corpse, Luo Youdu picked up the blood book from Fan Zhi's hand, glanced at it roughly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he called out in his heart: "Good guy, it's so sinister!"

What is written in this blood book are words of repentance and evasion of responsibility.

Not to mention leaving yourself clean, but also to explain the truth clearly.

The prime minister, who was ordered to also study national history, skillfully used various Spring and Autumn brushwork to cover up his faults.

As for Zhao Kuangyin's behavior, it is even exaggerated, which is as exciting as a story.

The general meaning of the blood book is that Zhao Kuangyin's intentions are sinister and he has long been disobedient. Guo Rongjian had already started to hide evil intentions when he was still there, such as "checking the emperor" to frame Zhang Yongde, such as poisoning Kou Xiang's family in order to rescue his cronies. The chicken forced Kou Xiang to prepare a coffin to settle the case.

These are not things that Zhao Kuangyin did, and Fan Zhi wrote it as if he had personally experienced it.

Immediately after Guo Rong died of illness, how Zhao Kuangyin unscrupulously suppressed Han Tong, bribed the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and intended to raise troops to rebel, would describe him as Sima Zhao.

Anyway, the small mistakes are his own, and the big ones are Zhao Kuangyin's.

It's absolutely perfect...

Regarding Fan Zhi's intentions, Luo Youdu guessed a thing or two. The other party deliberately wrote Zhao Kuangyin to death as heinous, exaggerated his power layout, and wrote the plot in an exciting way, just like a short story.

The purpose is to tell the world how glorious and great Luo Youdu won this victory.How to turn the tide and help the building to collapse.

In order to please him, so that he can hold his hand high to his descendants...

Fan Zhi didn't know that not long after he committed suicide, his three sons, Fan Min, Fan Gao, and Fan Xi, who he wanted to protect, were arrested in a shabby house, and then they were bitten to death by two vicious dogs.

Died terribly.

Luo Youdu handed the blood book to Wang Pu, without saying anything, just said: "Let's go see Your Majesty first!"

Wang Pu glanced at it for a while, intending to pass it on to others after seeing Guo Rong.

Luo Youdu came back to his senses, looked at the crowd and said: "Our group of people going in together will inevitably disturb Your Majesty, so I, Wang Xiang, Wei Xiang, Xiang Taishi, Zhang Sansi, and General Wei will be the representatives. .Masters, you can wait outside the hall."

Naturally, no one dared to object to his words now.

It's just a pity that it wasn't selected.

Luo Youdu's selection of candidates this time is very particular. Needless to say, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, the only two remaining prime ministers are taken for granted.

Xiang Xun was Guo Wei's Yuan Cong General, one of the oldest generals in the temple today, and has outstanding military exploits.

Han Tong is cleaning up the mess, he is the representative of generals.

Zhang Sansi's envoy was Zhang Mei, his son Zhang Shouying, who was one of the chief culprits who quarreled with Wang Pu's son Wang Yu, which led to Wang Pu's death and triggered a series of reactions.

Guo Rong punished Zhang Shouying, but did not punish Zhang Mei severely.

There is no other reason, the court has lost Wang Pu, and cannot live without Zhang Mei.

Although Zhang Mei was unknown in history, she was an indispensable figure for Da Zhou.

He is proficient in arithmetic, and he is extremely good at logistics scheduling. During the Great Zhou Dynasty, he went to the north and south for years and years, and his food, grass, and military pay were never in short supply, all thanks to his strategizing and planning.In the several battles of the Song Dynasty in history, he was also responsible for the logistics operation, so that the front line had no worries about food and grass.

Now he serves as the envoy of the third division, in charge of the cashier of the country's money and valleys, and balances financial revenue and expenditure. He is the highest chief financial officer of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This kind of talent who is good at logistics scheduling is no less effective than a famous general who has experienced many battles.

Luo Youdu was inconvenient to associate with him because of his status before.

Now this person is one of the confidantes he has won over, so it is inevitable to count him.

As for General Wei Li Jixun, he is the eldest of the ten brothers of Yishe, and the oldest one.

In history, the ten brothers that Zhao Kuangyin conquered by virtue of the Battle of Huainan followed his lead.

With Luo Youdu's intervention, Zhao Kuangyin was not enough to convince the public, so that Li Jixun was still the eldest brother, Zhao Kuangyin was the third child, separated by Wang Shenqi, and they were just righteous brothers.

The Zhao family has too many connections in the military, and when something like this happened to Zhao Kuangyin, those who were close to the Zhao family were unavoidably terrified, fearing that Luo Youdu would settle accounts against them.

The same is true for Li Jixun himself, regretting that he did not accept the invitation in time last night.

Now there are some people inside and outside...

Luo Youdu's designation of him as a representative not only reassures him, but also appeases the emotions of those who are usually close to the Zhao family.

There are too many people related to the Zhao family in the military. If they really want to wield a butcher knife to kill them, I am afraid that there will be a big cleansing of the Da Zhou military.

For Da Zhou, who was already a bit precarious, this was not just a simple injury, it would directly kill most of his life.

Since he couldn't be killed, Luo Youdu directly showed his generosity here.

Even Li Jixun, the capital of Yishe brothers, can forgive, let alone others?

Li Jixun never dreamed that Luo Youdu would call his name and use himself as the representative.

Seeing that Luo Youdu had gone to the Wende Palace, Li Jixun hurried to follow, feeling a touch of emotion in his heart, thinking that the commanding army did not care about his personal relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, and he thought highly of himself, so he couldn't live up to his kindness.

Those in the rear who had a good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin were all relieved to see this.I am also grateful for Luo Youdu's generosity.

Wende Hall was deserted, and there was no one around.

Luo Youdu walked through the inner hall and walked towards the apse.

As soon as he entered the apse, Luo Youdu was shocked to find that Guo Rong was sitting on the bed leaning on him, his eyes staring straight ahead.

"His Majesty?"

Luo Youdu was taken aback.

Seeing that it was Luo Youdu who came in, Guo Rong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally lowered his head powerlessly...

Because of the urgency of the situation, Empress Fu knew that the other party would not dare to kill the king. In that situation, she ignored other things and fled the palace with her father.

No one dared to disturb the Wende Hall where Guo Rong lived, neither Zhao Kuangyin nor Fan Zhi dared to enter.

So are others.

Even if the army surrounded the imperial palace, many of the key soldiers who participated in the rebellion fled in panic, and some soldiers wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and loot and hide everywhere, no one dared to step into the Palace of Wende.

It's an instinctive awe.

Guo Rong didn't have much time left, he was stimulated by yesterday, and his vitality was cut off even more, but under the reflection of the light, he managed to sit up reluctantly, listening to the noisy movement around him, knowing that there was a military turmoil, he wanted to ask someone to ask, but he was speechless .

Holding his breath, he held on, wanting to see who was the first to come in.

Who is the final victory.

As the turmoil calmed down, Luo Youdu took the lead.

Guo Rong also died of illness with a smile...

"His Majesty!"

Luo Youdu exclaimed, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Quick, send the imperial doctor!"

His whole body was shaking.

Wang Pu strode forward and felt Guo Rong's pulse.

This ancient literati learned a lot about medical skills, and Confucian medicine is often said.

Wang Pu also dabbled in medicine, he couldn't feel any pulse, his legs went limp, he sat on the ground, opened his mouth, and said for a while, "Your Majesty is dead!"

Luo Youdu's eye circles turned red in an instant, and the bits and pieces of the four years of acquaintance emerged in his mind. Scenes flashed before his eyes, and finally knelt down powerlessly on the ground, and mournfully said: "Chen Luo Youdu sends you His Majesty respectfully!"

This was the first time he knelt down to Guo Rong, and it was also the first time he kowtowed.

A generation of holy lords, Guo Rong, the sage king of the Five Dynasties who paved the way to end the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, passed away in the fifth year of Xiande, on August [-]th in Wende Hall.

The news of Guo Rong's death spread outside the hall, and there were cries and shouts outside the hall.

Almost all the soldiers, ladies and servants who heard the news couldn't help but bowed in the direction of Wende Hall, and some even broke down in tears.

The news gradually spread, and the whole country mourned.
