Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 118: Shouban fried fish

The hall was very quiet, and the ministers had different expressions, but most of them looked at Guo Shao with a smile, including the general version of "Bao Qingtian." Chai Rong opened his mouth, unexpectedly in the first sentence: "Guo Shao, I heard that you ordered Shouzhou to be robbed, and you also divided the government's treasury?"

Guo Shao was stunned, and hurriedly argued: "My Majesty, the soldiers besieged the city for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. After the city is broken, the city is slaughtered; the ministers are young and have little qualifications, and they are worried that they will not be able to restrain the soldiers. As soon as Zhou Jun occupied the Huainan lands, he immediately killed innocent people as a conqueror. The minister was worried that it would provoke resistance, and the loss of force would not be worth the loss..."

Chai Rong asked calmly, "Did you take a lot of it yourself?"

A black line appeared on Guo Shao's forehead, and he hurriedly thought about it, and had no choice but to tell the truth: "There are still dozens of people in the minister's family...It's not that the salary is not enough, of course the more money the better..."

"You are a person who likes money." Chai Rong laughed.

The emperor smiled, and everyone smiled, and the atmosphere that was a bit depressed suddenly relaxed. Guo Shao was also relieved.

However, Chai Rong shook his head and smiled: "I have used troops for years, and the cost is insufficient. Zhao Kuangyin has done no less than you, but he can consider sealing up the treasury for the country and confiscating all of it. You are very brave. Let's talk about it; I am short of money now, but can I still let the soldiers spit it out again?"

Guo Shao pleased. Chai Rong said: "Fine, nothing. You are better than Shi Yan, and bloodthirsty is better than greedy for money!" Shi Yanchao, the tallest in the crowd, touched the back of his head and was speechless.

The black-faced man Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said, "The minister dare not take credit."

Chai Rong said to Guo Shao again: "The strategy of capturing Shouzhou in the military state...I don't care about that matter. I will not only save you from sin, but also reward you."

Guo Shao said: "The minister has grabbed... enough points..."

With a smile on his face, Chai Rong stretched out his hands and gave him a high five. At this moment, from the inner door of the main hall, two Nantang court ladies walked out with a woman in Lingluo skinny dress.

The woman's head was covered with light red gauze, and only the outline of a face could be seen vaguely. But suddenly it gave people a feeling that she was as soft as water, and her steps were light, as if she was about to float. The well-cut dress, which just happened to wrap the curvaceous figure, was round and soft, and the shape of the waist and hips was the most attractive...Among them, several ministers were taken aback.

Chai Rong smiled and said, "This is the woman of Nan Tang general Ma Xi Chong Jinxian when Zhou Jun captured Yangzhou. What do you think of her?"

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "Weak bones and muscles, worthy of the beauty of the country! Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Haha...I rewarded you!" Chai Rong laughed.

Guo Shao was overjoyed and said: "The minister thanks your majesty for the grace."

Zhao Kuangyin next to him was stunned as if staying there. Since Guo Shao paid more attention to him, he felt that Zhao Kuangyin's behavior at this time was strange...Isn't he a bad girl? Suddenly a military commander said: "General Guo, you really dare to ask, there is no delay at all..."

"Haha..." Chai Rong laughed happily and waved his hand. Everyone couldn't help looking at Guo Shao with a smile, maybe he was greedy and lustful in people's eyes?

Guo Shao couldn't figure it out, not knowing why. The generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can give away the women they robbed as playthings. Can the emperor not receive the rewards for the women? But seeing the emperor's happy face, there was no displeasure, and this was a little relieved.

At this moment, Li Zhongjin's face went up | Red as pig liver came out, and said, "I will say what you say, so let him eat the fried fish! Please let the guards catch a raw fish."

All the officials looked at each other, and Guo Shao stood in the hall silently, just looking at Chai Rong's expression from his side.

At this time, Chai Rong said with a relaxed expression: "But the struggle of spirits will hurt your peace. If General Li really mastered the pan-fried fish, the fish will be cooked, and your hand will be cooked; you have not made a big mistake. Did I just watch the general abolish one of his hands? The world's major events are not over, and the generals within the court will have big grievances for trivial matters. What's the matter? Guo Shao, you have a word for General Li."

Guo Shao was silent for a moment, and said: "The minister dare not follow your majesty's order."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Pu said: "General Li has said everything, but it is not so good... Your Majesty, the minister has a way. The former Cao Mengdeyan, who trampled on the crops, beheaded; unexpectedly his own The horse stepped on the crops, so he had to cut his hair instead. Today General Li threatened to fry fish with his hands. It is unnecessary to abolish one hand, but he has to do something to take back what he said!"

Li Zhongjin stared, "Why?"

Wang Pu said calmly: "Put the fried fish on your hand plate, and let General Guo eat it. The meaning will do."

"You..." Li Zhongjin was furious. He is as high as the commander of the guards, and Guo Shao is just a school, several levels high. Want to yield to him to serve meals? Then what prestige is there in the army in the future!

Chai Rong didn't say a word, watching the theater as if it was none of his own.

The deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Wang Pu, was notoriously uncomfortable in the court. He didn't get along well with anyone and was not afraid of offending people at all. Wang Pu looked directly at Li Zhongjin and said, "Does General Li want to offer fish, or does he have to say nothing?"

"Don't deceive people too much!" Li Zhongjin scolded.

Wang Pu said, "However, General Li is too stingy to ask you to send a fish. A big man can bend and stretch!"

At this moment, an **** came up with a plate and said, "Fried fish is here."

Under all eyes, Li Zhongjin stood awkwardly among the officials, and finally stomped his feet, went up to grab the fish and put it in his hands, and came to Guo Shao, turning his face away and reaching out.

Guo Shao was not polite. He took the chopsticks from the eunuch, picked the fish in Li Zhongjin's hand, put it in his mouth and ate it with gusto, and nodded in satisfaction with a "Yeah", before trying to stretch his chopsticks over. . Unexpectedly, Li Zhongjin had already thrown the fish to the ground, and angrily said to his superior: "Farewell!"

Guo Shao bowed his hand to Chai Rong and thought of finding a place next to him to stand with everyone. When he first came in, he was very happy, but he felt the undercurrents faintly because of the simple and neat tricks in the hall.

Wang Pu said, "General Guo, is it enough to have a beautiful woman?"

Guo Shao said: "Your Majesty said that the treasury is not rich, and the ministers dare not ask for rewards."

Wang Pu said: "The merits of Shouzhou can build festivals."

Guo Shao was stunned there. He had long guessed that he might enter the ranks of the Jiedu Envoy this time, but he was very excited when he heard the people from the Privy Council say it. Jianjie is one of the signs of entering the ranks of senior generals!

Immediately, Chai Rong sang and asked, "Where is there any vacancy?"

Wang Pu walked to the map next to the wooden frame, and said, "Your Majesty, how about the southern area near Tokyo?"

"Very good." Chai Rong replied simply.

Wang Pu looked at Wei Renpu again: "The envoy thought, what about Xuzhou Zhongwu Jiedu?" Wei Renpu said: "There just happens to be a vacancy there, and the prince has arranged it properly."

When Guo Shao heard this, he knew that he would still serve in the Forbidden Army. There are no soldiers in the town near Tokyo, and all the elite soldiers have been transferred to the Forbidden Army; but the proximity to Tokyo shows the court's trust and gift to the Forbidden Army generals. The biggest role is not to let him hold a place of self-respect, but to give him an identity, and then he can open a mansion.

However, Wang Pu was very ostentatious. He tore off a piece of the map and walked over to Guo Shao. Guo Shao took a piece of paper and kowtowed bye to Chai Rong.

Wang Pu said: "General Guo can be promoted to the commander of the guards and infantry."

Chai Rong said nothing, everyone looked at Li Jixun. There were so many impeachers, many people asked to be dismissed to punish him for losing Zhou's morale at a critical moment. But the emperor refused. He felt that Li Jixun was just a momentary mistake, and he was still a general, and he had done a lot in the past. He resisted all arguments and only removed Li Jixun from the banned army position and changed Heyang Jiedushi.

Chai Rong and a few people made a decision on such a major personnel change. So everyone should be grateful for the emperor’s kindness. Although Li Chongjin was angry, Chai Rong also excused him. Wang Pu made him unable to get off the stage... But Li Chongjin also couldn't blame others for speaking too much, and it was not long ago~www .readwn.com~ Guo Shao's face glowed red, and in a blink of an eye, he entered the ranks of the few high-ranking generals in Da Zhou, and he was appointed as a military officer. Holding a piece of torn paper in his hand, his mentality completely changed in an instant... He had to realize that the mentality of people really changed with their status, where they were, even if it was only a moment, that feeling and self-positioning It's all different.

It was like drinking some health-building medicine, and for a moment he felt that there was a greater force surging in his body, and he felt it really! Although he still couldn't keep up with Li Chongjin's position, he had no fear at all now.

Not long after, Liu Renzhan was announced. Chai Rong was very polite. He was a corporal courtesy, and wanted to appoint Liu Renzhan to be the chief inspector, the commander of the middle school, and the commander of the Tianping army. Liu Renzhan refused, saying that he did not surrender.

Chai Rong was not only not angry, but publicly boasted: "Liu Rengan did his loyalty and resisted the festival without loss. The former minister, several people can be compared!" Then he sent people to "escort" Liu Renzhan back to Tokyo to treat him well.

That night, Chai Rong went to the Yangzhou Palace to host a banquet to celebrate Guo Shao's work and appreciate a horse and a jade belt inlaid with gold. Guo Shao drank dizzy at the banquet and talked happily with Zhao Kuangyin... He remembered at this moment that after the Gaoping War, Zhao Kuangyin said that Zhao Kuangyin would be happy to drink, but after returning to Tokyo, Zhao Kuangyin had already dealt with this matter. Forgot to clean; Guo Shao is finally qualified to drink with him tonight. It's really belated.

After the banquet, Guo Shao was taken by the **** to a private house outside the palace, which was already guarded. He got into the bedroom, and suddenly saw a woman sitting on the bed, thinking that he had gone wrong, so he hurriedly backed out, and only patted his forehead after a moment: Isn't this a beauty rewarded by the emperor?

People who don't know at all, but have a good body and temperament. He “forgot” the promotion when he got the beauty in the hall before; now he almost forgot the beauty when he returned.
