The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 141 Uncle Guo’s violent temper

According to Uncle Guo's temper and style of doing things when he was young, for a rat like Li Ye who jumps up and down, he must first tell him not to leave after going to court, and the two of them will have a public duel at the gate of the palace and beat him up.

If Li Ye is still dissatisfied and dares to deliberately stir up trouble, then gather a group of brothers, issue an agreement, set a time and place, each party will bring weapons, sign a life and death certificate on the spot, and then have a large-scale armed fight, it is best Again, heavyweights were present to bear witness.

After two fights, Li Ye was still alive. Either he knelt down and surrendered early, or Uncle Guo showed mercy and spared his life.

After that, Li Ye will know Guo Queer's attitude towards life and will never dare to jump again and again to test the limit of his tolerance.

From fighting to fighting, from breaking other people's front teeth to beheading like cutting melons, Uncle Guo's temper has become much calmer, and the blood in his bones has become quieter.

Especially when he became the privy envoy, Wei Renpu repeatedly warned him to restrain his temper, speak and behave in a manner consistent with etiquette, and not to let his enemies get the opportunity to criticize him.

Having led troops in wars for many years, I have seen many ups and downs. How arrogant you can be when you are powerful, and how miserable you can be when you are down.

As a privy envoy and a minister who cares about orders, Guo Wei is well aware of his high prestige in the imperial army.

When a young emperor succeeds to the throne, he is most afraid of the suspicion of a young master. Therefore, Liu Chengyou dotes on Li Ye and allows him to slander and provoke him. Guo Wei mostly laughs it off and tolerates it in every possible way.

No matter how angry you are, you can just scold your mother, practice martial arts, and vent your anger when you return home.

Chai Rong looked up at his father who was climbing on the ladder and rummaging through the bookshelves seriously, feeling filled with emotion.

My father's figure is still majestic, but he can't hide the gray spots on his temples and the wrinkles on his forehead are getting deeper and deeper.

More than 20 years ago in Yaoshan, Xingzhou, he was still a young boy. He came to Guo's house with his aunt with a worried heart. When he first saw this rugged man with a slender shoulder and neck, a strong and brave man with a loud voice, he couldn't help but feel sad. timid.

Unexpectedly, the man looked him over, rubbed his head hard with his warm, rough and thick hands, and said to him with a smile: "I don't have a son yet, from now on, you will be my son, the eldest son of the Guo family!"

The man picked him up, let him sit on his broad shoulders, and happily went out to show off to his fellow villagers that he, Guo Wei, had a son.

Later, Guo Wei joined the army, and Chai Rong took care of the family with his aunt and adoptive mother. As he grew up, in order to support the family, he was introduced to Yecheng by his fellow villagers to do the tea business, traveling around the country.

Guo Wei fought bravely and made many military exploits. He gradually became famous and became more and more powerful. Chai Rong followed his father's example and gave up business to join the army. He has been training in the Tianxiong Army until now, and finally grew into a unique general.

Thinking that his father had raised his arms in the army and received many responses, and now he was the Privy Councilor and a highly respected minister, but he had to endure the troubles made by jesters like Li Ye in the court. Chai Rong secretly clenched his fists and dug his fingers into his palms. , with an angry look on his face.

Guo Wei rummaged through the bookshelf, but still couldn't find what he wanted, and murmured in confusion: "Where did it go?"

Looking down, Chai Rong, who was holding the ladder at the bottom, had a gloomy face and remained silent. Guo Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you angry when Li Ye quarreled with me?"

Chai Rong helped Guo Wei get off the ladder, and said in a deep voice: "Father is humiliated, and the child is in pain, I wish I could share father's worries!"

Guo Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a dog in the court, don't worry about it. Dalang, you have been in the army for a long time and have never served in the court. You must know that you are sitting in the center of the town, serving the emperor at the top and commanding hundreds of officials at the bottom. It is much more difficult and troublesome than leading troops to fight. When the military affairs in Yedu are straightened out, I will find an opportunity for you to return to Beijing and take up a post. After hanging around in Kaifeng for three to five years, these embarrassing things will not upset you. "

Chai Rong smiled bitterly, he would rather stay in the army and lead troops forever.

"Li Ye used the Black Fire Thunder incident to make things difficult for his father. Speaking of which, the child is also responsible. If the child had not offended Liu Guan's family in Cangzhou last year, he would not have grudged his father."

Guo Wei continued to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in search of the brochure, and said disapprovingly: "The officials are young and have children's temperament. In two years, they will grow up and understand things. They will not worry about such trivial matters. But Li Ye, this bitch, needs to be careful. He often appears in front of the officials. To sow discord, saying nonsense like the minister who cares about orders controls power and the emperor is like a plaything."

Chai Rong opened his mouth to say something, but finally held back.

Judging from his contacts in Cangzhou, Liu Chengyou is cold-natured, vicious and vicious, and he probably won't be like his father said, when he gets older in two years, he will be able to change his temperament and become a wise king.

He wanted to remind his father to be vigilant, but he didn't know how to say it.He knew that his father now only wanted to be a good minister who cared about life and assisted the officials to bring peace to the world as soon as possible, in order to repay the kindness of the late emperor.

If you say something out loud, it will inevitably violate taboos and be suspected of being disobedient.

"Damn it, where did it go?"

Guo Wei searched for a long time, broke into a small sweat, and had a depressed look on his face.

Chai Rong walked slowly around the room, his eyes scanning every inch.

Suddenly, he saw a short table placed on the couch, with its feet seemingly resting on something.

Chai Rong hurriedly walked over, lifted up the cushions and table, and found a dusty book.

Patting the booklet and shaking off the dust, the father and son choked and coughed repeatedly.

A line of characterful writing appeared on the cover of the book: "Black Fire Thunder Production and Use Manual"

Father and son looked at each other speechless.

Guo Wei took the book, dusted it off, and said with a smile: "This is it, why did I place it on the corner of the table? No wonder I can't find it, haha~~"

Chai Rong resisted the urge to roll his eyes and sighed with a hint of memory: "This is the manual that Zhu Xiu spent several days and nights writing. I thought my father had dedicated it to the court a long time ago."

"I thought I was going to hand it over, but then I got busy and forgot about it. I didn't expect this Black Fire Thunder to be quite famous."

Guo Wei was amazed. He carefully read the booklet for the first time, and then he was surprised to find that he couldn't understand it.

"No wonder the people in the Ordnance Supervision made several dark earthen jars after months of hard work. This thing is really not simple!"

Chai Rong smiled and said: "Father, do you still want to dedicate the manual to the court?"

Guo Wei thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I had quarreled with Li Ye several times before, denying that I knew anything about the production of Black Fire Thunder. If I hand it over now, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."

Chai Rong said: "The Black Fire Thunder is very powerful, and it is very useful in the battlefield. It would be a pity if it was buried here."

Guo Wei looked at the booklet, pondered for a moment, and said: "In this way, you take the manual back and find someone to copy it in Yedu, keeping it secret. When the skills mature, we will find an opportunity to present it to the court. In short, we can't let anyone doubt that we have something private." He is suspected of hiding the black fire thunder technique and secretly forging it.”

Chai Rong took the book and said, "Don't worry, father, your child will be careful."

After a pause, he sighed and said: "If Zhu Xiu were still there, there would be no need to find someone to imitate it. The Tianxiong Army could have as many black fire thunders as they want."

Guo Wei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Didn't you send someone to Jingzhou to look for him? Do you have any news?"

Chai Rong shook his head and said, "No news has been sent back yet."

Guo Wei said casually: "When you find someone, bring him to me to see what kind of genius he is that you and Yongde will never forget."

Chai Rong couldn't help but laugh: "He is a genius, but he is also a scourge. Sometimes he is quite annoying."

"Hahaha~~ Interesting! Then I want to meet you!" Guo Wei laughed heartily.
