Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Inside the Donghua Gate, an **** outside the hall shouted: "Your Majesty, come here!"

Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin heard them, they hurriedly got up from the stools, and after a while, they saw Chai Rong walking in from the hall door after shouting. (First episode) Chai Rong didn't wear a uniform or a dragon robe, he was still in a large purple round-neck gown with a black gauze hat on his head.

The two people in the hall knelt down to the ground at this moment, shouting: "The ministers see your majesty, your majesty has no boundaries."

Chai Rong stepped forward and supported one with one hand. He actually lifted the two of them up and said, "Aiqing waits for the level." He helped the people walk until they sat down in the correct position. There was only a chair in the upper position, not a formal throne, and it was not far away.

When Guo Shao got up from the ground, his eyes drooped slightly, but he observed Chai Rong's expression from the corner of the eye, but he didn't see anything strange. I felt that Chai Rong's face was really pale, and there were some strange dark spots on his cheeks.

As expected, Chai Rong first noticed Zhao Kuangyin in a plain suit. I saw that Zhao Kuangyin's face was black and red, but his body was white, which was really eye-catching. But the emperor didn’t even ask him about the funeral. He turned his gaze to Guo Shao and said: “The two files are my decrees to show you. I want to ask you about the latest things in person. You’ve all seen it, Kaifeng Mansion. What do you think of the case investigated by the left hall?"

The emperor’s gaze was on Guo Shao. Guo Shao couldn’t disrespect the emperor’s questioning. He bowed and bowed, and while organizing the statement nervously, he said: “In response to your majesty, the minister thought Kaifeng Mansion had found it. It is more detailed, and the testimony and the case are all reasonable... As recorded in the case of Zhao Jia Saburo’s assassination, the murderer was the Zhao mansion who entered Guangshun three years ago. This person has nothing to do with the minister. The minister is not that. If you wait for the person who will report to you, please give your majesty a lesson."

Guo Shao deliberately did not say whether Zhao San had conspired to assassinate himself.

Only talking about Dong Er's murder is to defend himself and belong to defense; to say that Zhao Sanmou assassinates is to attack the opponent, which belongs to offense... As long as Guo Shaoxian said, he will be more conservative first; just to excuse himself, but not bite Stay on the other side to attack.

Because Guo Shao had already figured it out before that, Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything against him when he came, why should he rush to quarrel with him? It's better to calm down and see what his attitude and reaction are.

These recent events, no matter how complicated the process is and who is right or wrong; the result is that Guo Shao is standing here alive and well, but the Zhao family has two people dead. Zhao Kuangyin's losses were heavy. Even if Zhao San was at fault, everyone was dead... No need to "give Guo Shao a word".

Guo Shao wondered: It is meaningless to attack again with this matter, and it is impossible to attack Zhao Kuangyin if it is an iron case. Zhao San's crime was not a heinous crime that would impinge upon the people of the tribe, and it is difficult to involve Zhao Kuangyin at the same time.

What's more, Chai Rong trusts and relies on Zhao Kuangyin very much. He probably won't take Zhao Kuangyin because of this incident...Although Guo Shao has made great contributions and performed well in the wars launched by Chai Rong, he is better than Zhao Kuangyin in the relationship between people. It's still a bit short, otherwise he won't be in the guards.

At this moment, Chai Rong nodded slightly, then turned to look at the black-faced man.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "A few days ago, the heavenly minister heard that General Guo met the assassin, and the clues were related to the third brother. After returning, he also questioned the third brother, but the third brother told the minister that it was not his work... the minister also looked at the file. There are two things that are not very credible. The first is the motive of committing the crime. It is a bit far-fetched to say that the third brother will murder the general for the sake of a woman. The second is whether Li Xiaer was instigated by the third brother. The language in the case file is unclear. Rely on inference only.

And based on Weichen's understanding of his brothers, Saburo studied since he was a child and has not experienced battles. To say what evil things can be done by someone like Saburo, the minister feels very strange. "

Hearing that Zhao Kuangyin still had to defend him, Guo Shao felt a little unhappy, because he had already believed that the person who did it was Zhao San; however, Zhao Kuangyin did not catch Zhao San’s death. He had to rely on Guo Shao. Very restrained.

Zhao Kuangyin’s restraint made Guo Shao feel incredible, because from the results, Zhao Kuangyin was the "sufferer", even if he attacked Guo Shao, it would be excusable...Daddy and brother can bear it, why should he bear it?

Remembering that Zhao Kuangyin was the founding emperor in history, Guo Shao had to guess: Only with greater ambition can he endure the pain in front of him. Zhao Kuangyin is not a teenager, Zhao San, he will not be dragged into the water for hatred and eradication of enemies...Only in this way, Guo Shao can figure out why Zhao Kuangyin has shown such restraint today.

At this time, Chai Rong asked directly: "Zhao Kuangyin, do you think that the death of Saburo is related to Guo Shao?"

Zhao Kuangyin worshipped: "Your Majesty, please be clear."

Sure enough, even if he was unwilling to expand the contradiction, he was also hostile to Guo Shao and left his words alone... If the emperor wanted to help punish Guo Shao, Zhao Kuangyin's ambiguous attitude was obviously happy.

Chai Rong nodded and said, "I called both of you into the palace and talked about this in person, just to hear what you think about it."

Both Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao listened very carefully to what the emperor said.

Chai Rong sighed again, and said, "Now that the great event is not done, the Northern Expedition is imminent. Although the Khitan leader is called the'Sleeping Emperor', according to my observation, this person has a bad reputation and is not a completely incompetent person; It is related to the old things in the previous dynasty and cannot be entirely blamed on the current Khitan leader. Although his country is chaotic, his strength has not been greatly damaged, and it is still our country's biggest enemy! And you two are the generals I rely on. , I will not be merciless if it only damages the military strength or even causes some turbulent losses to the country!"

Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao bowed before listening.

Chai Rong said again: "The guards and guards performed very well in the Battle of Huainan, which made me greatly gratified. In the upcoming Northern Expedition to Khitan, I hope that General Guo can conquer the city and fight the major towns in Hebei. Make a new contribution! The divisions in the front of the palace are the elites of my great Zhou, and I have high hopes. It is best if you two can dispel the grievances; otherwise, you should not influence the plan of the Northern Expedition because of your personal details! Who will help me to recover Youzhou At most, I will rely more on whoever I am, and I will never be biased."

He went on to say earnestly: "I also hope that you will put the overall situation first and don't lose my hopes."

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The minister is the former capital school of the palace, and he is responsible for his majesty's trust and national responsibility. Will he dare to exhaust his energy as the forerunner of his majesty? The minister will never delay his majesty's grand aspirations because of personal grievances!"

After hearing this, Chai Rong said with great satisfaction: "Zhao Aiqing can always understand my heart, divide my worries and solve problems for me, you will certainly not let me be in a dilemma."

Upon seeing this, Guo Shao hurriedly knelt down and said: "Wei ministers must take national affairs as their top priority and dare not consider minor issues."

Seeing this, Chai Rong came up to help them up again, "The previous grievances were put aside, and I thought that things were different, and everything was not caused by the two of you not knowing the general situation. It is understandable. But in the future, I want you not to If you complain again, can you do it? There is no joking in front of the king, so just in front of me, swear to stop worrying about it?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked upright and immediately raised his hand and said, "The minister swears before your majesty, and will never do anything unrighteous to General Guo due to personal grievances!"

Swearing really works? However, what the emperor said in front of him might be more or less useful. Guo Shao was also busy with his palm to the sky, and vowed: "The minister is willing to disregard the previous suspicions and assist his majesty in the attack on Khitan."

Chai Rong was very satisfied when he saw this and nodded: "Very good, very good! My humeral general should be a broad-minded and tolerant talent!"

The emperor relieved the two of them again, ordered a reward of some money, and sent the palace man to the mansion to attend the funeral together with Zhao Kuangyin. The two of them thanked the emperor for goodbye and walked out from the main hall one after another.

Zhao Kuangyin walked forward, and Guo Shao was a distance behind, and the two were speechless.

Guo Shao was quite satisfied with the result. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he went out to see the sun. He finally passed this level...because he never felt that the emperor would give up Zhao Kuangyin in order to give himself justice. It is impossible.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin may be more depressed. Two of his family members died, and in the end they had no choice but to stop.

But Guo Shao also understood why Chai Rong wanted to make peace. The emperor wanted to regain Youyun, and was totally unwilling to lose a general due to internal fighting. In his attitude towards Guo Shao, one of the sentences "conquer the city, strive to overcome the important towns in Hebei, and make new contributions" inadvertently exposed the Sacred Heart... Chai Rong also thought about Guo Shao's ability to attack the city, and wanted him to help when attacking Hebei. city. Those cities in Hebei are bigger and more stable, and the cities are very difficult to fight.

If Guo Shao had no value, it would be hard to tell if Chai Rong would still care about justice and truth today. And once Youzhou is defeated, will the birds be hidden?

Guo Shao found thin beads of sweat on his forehead~www.readwn.com~ subconsciously swiped his sleeve.

In short, this matter can come to an end for the time being. Guo Shao feels that he is not in much danger right now; but in the long run, the danger is even greater.

At the moment the emperor protects him, people who are so knowledgeable about Zhao Kuangyin’s current affairs are unlikely to be in a hurry to do what the emperor wants, so Guo Shao should be worry-free... But in the future, what will happen, there is no guarantee. No; Zhao Kuangyin's oath cannot guarantee anything, there are a hundred ways to not violate the oath and kill the other party.

Under the lead of the eunuch, the two left Donghuamen. Zhao Kuangyin calmly asked the servant to lead the horse. This servant was not afraid of ambushing with crossbows in the streets and alleys. He acted very calmly. When he took the reins, he turned around and gave a fist to Guo Shao lightly before getting on the horse.

Guo Shao also hurriedly bowed his hand in return, and watched the top of the horse. Then he walked to his carriage, and he said in his heart that he was more afraid of dying unclearly, and that it would be safer to ride a carriage. RG
