Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the Jinxiang Hall, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu knelt down on the ground, prostrated and said: "Please come down.: ///"

The Northern Han Kingdom has sent envoys to Tokyo, accusing Dazhou of sending people to secretly do that trick in Jinyang City, which is disgraceful. Although the two countries are hostile to each other, the exchange of words on the surface is also a bit particular. For example, the Northern Han Dynasty has always regarded itself as orthodox in the Central Plains and accused the Guo family of Zhou Dynasty of usurping the throne.

Then the spy leader sent to the Northern Han Dynasty also fled back to Tokyo. Because the seizures below were forced to confess, and the whereabouts of many people were exposed, the entire Northern Han Dynasty was unable to stay in Jinyang.

Obviously this was a failed operation. Guo Shao had a lot of things at the time. He didn't plan it himself, and trusted Wang Pu's ability, so he handed it over to the Privy Council... But the people in the Privy Council only knew the scouts and didn't know what the "spy" was, so they did it very rough. So the Secret Envoys and Deputy Envoys all came to apologize.

Guo Shao glanced at Wang Pu who was kneeling on the ground. Although he was dissatisfied, he would not shake his relationship with this minister because of one incident. He immediately stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Get up all of you."

Wang Pu and the others got up. Wang Pu frowned and was a little annoyed: "Being a leader is still very capable, so I can safely leave the matter to him. Unexpectedly, he used people improperly... I also blame the old minister for negligence, and he was anxious at the time. I didn't carefully screen those people."

"A wise man must have a misfortune." Guo Shao did not get angry, because there are no outsiders here. He still remembered the credit of Wang Pu for many times before he became the throne, and Wang Pu and others had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes.

Guo Shao stood up, walked a few steps, turned his head and glanced at Jing Niang who was standing beside him without a word. She was wearing a purple round-neck gown with a moat on her head, and she stood there relaxed.

A while ago, he had just ascended the throne and there were so many things. He was distracted and didn't have the mind to personally consider every detail... He once again realized that it is not so easy to create new things from scratch, even for a smart person like Wang Pu Bad work; perhaps the reason is that the world has no experience. From ancient times to the present, there have been assassins and spies, but there has not been a spy team systematically organized like Guo Shao's wishes.

As Wang Pu said, he thinks that someone is capable, so he sends that person; success or failure depends on the individual's ability, not on the rigor and cooperation of an organization, and problems can easily occur as soon as the stall spreads out.

However, because Jingniang was by Guo Shao before, she understood his intentions, and she did well from the battle of Qin Feng and the Tokyo Mutiny. Guo Shao stopped worrying now. He said: "I want Jingniang to act as a servant in the house and supervise Cao Si for the time being."

Because Wang Pu and others had just messed up the matter, they didn't say anything at the moment. Jingniang clasped her fist and said, "Yes."

Guo Shao said again: "The soldiers of Cao Si can be selected from the officials who have decided the case and the arrestees, and they must train people who specialize in this line. Don't temporarily get some martial arts in the field to do the work. Can't do it."

Everyone hurriedly bowed and replied: "Here."

Guo Shao said: "Jingniang knows how to arrange it. Organizations sent outside the country should pay attention to the way of contact. This time I didn't manage it, one person was arrested, and a large group of people were all finished! Often walking by the river can not be wet Shoes? It’s not a long-term solution to damage the organization so easily."

After thinking about it for a moment, he wanted to understand that the spy who was eager to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin must be offering a reward for his benefit. He then reminded him additionally, "Decree, from now on, those related to the soldier Cao Si will disobey the order and cannot offer any reward. cash!"

Wang Pu asked again: "The envoy from the Northern Han Dynasty, what kind of attitude does your majesty mean to respond?"

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "How do the two ministers think they should respond?"

Wei Renpu calmly said: "A small country in the Northern Han Dynasty, dare to come and accuse me of the court! The minister said, instead, he accused the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty and took in and sheltered my rebels. What should I say? But the guilt of the Zhao thief was squarely stated and the Northern Han Dynasty was forced. The country handed over this person."

After Guo Shao listened to this method, it was very useful, because such an attitude can save face.

Wang Pu's expression was a little frustrated at this time. The previous work was indeed that he was in power, so he could not speak at the moment. Wei Renpu talked eloquently: "We have a strong army and a vast territory. Nowadays, whoever is strong is justified. There is no need to argue with the Northern Han Kingdom! The Liao Kingdom may not be able to protect the Northern Han Kingdom at this time. Also worried. Your Majesty, look at the place where Jinyang is..."

There are many pictures hanging in Guo Shao's study. He turned around and saw one picture. Wei Renpu said: "The key point of the Northern Han Dynasty lies in Jinyang (Taiyuan). The northern Xin and Dai states are more barren and sparsely populated. But Jinyang is near the south, and it is less than a hundred miles away from the border of Dazhou; From the grasslands to Yunzhou, to pass through Xindai to Jinyang, the Liao army’s reinforcements were far more than a thousand miles away. The Liao army could not long-term reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty with its army. "

Guo Shao nodded frequently. He also thought that in the Northern Han Dynasty, there would not be too many reinforcements in the Liao Kingdom...It is not that the Northern Han Dynasty is not important, but the price of the Liao Kingdom is too great; it cannot sustain long-term combat in the Northern Han Dynasty. Supply is difficult to solve.

Wei Renpu said: "At this time, the imperial court used force to intimidate the Northern Han Dynasty, so that they would send someone to talk and use Zhao Thief as a bargaining chip to negotiate a peace."

Guo Shao asked casually: "If the Northern Han Dynasty yielded and escorted Zhao Kuangyin to Tokyo, what about the conquest of the Northern Han Dynasty?"

Wei Renpu said solemnly: "In another name to start the war..."

Guo Shao felt a little strange to it. It was like two people quarreling. One of them just started to do it if he lost the quarrel... But Da Zhou seems to have done this all the time. He attacked Shu and Nantang several times. It wasn't because he didn't provoke him. There are always excuses when playing.

Guo Shao nodded immediately and said, "This is a very proper approach."

He immediately said: "Send someone to make arrangements. I will summon the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty tomorrow. I want to meet the people of Northern Han Dynasty with my own eyes."

... After dealing with the day's affairs, Guo Shao returned to the Hall of Grace, and it was Yang Yuee's turn to attend the bed today. But he was not very interested at the moment, and he was not interested in anything. He didn't want to stop even the blacksmithing in the yard.

Before the sun went down, Guo Shao stayed in the house to rest early. For a moment, he suddenly felt very upset in the palace. It seemed that he did nothing every day, but he felt that it was not easy for a moment.

There is also this place, Guo Shao feels very bored and depressed. There is a low wall in the Hall of Grace, an inner palace wall outside, and a high wall outside... He felt as if he was confined in countless palace buildings and palace walls, like a prisoner.

But Guo Shao is temporarily reluctant to go out of the palace to relax, mainly because the situation with the North Han Kingdom is becoming increasingly tense, and he is a little worried about safety.

After sitting there for a while, Guo Shao remembered that Qing Xu was in the Sanqing Hall, and had ignored this little Taoist priest for months; an atmosphere of ancient Ding Qingyan, quietness and inaction emerged in his mind. I want to clean my heart for a while.

No matter left or right, Guo Shao immediately made an order, preparing to drive to Sanqing Palace.

When the Sanqing Palace was reached, Guo Shao was reported that the lord of the Palace (the Sanqing Palace was granted to Qingxu) was sleeping and told her that she could not get up. Li Shanggong on the side said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is going to pull her up and face Saint."

Guo Shao said immediately: "Don't make her embarrassing, I will sit here."

He sat down on the futon in front of a statue of a godless god. The crowd hurriedly retreated outside the hall, afraid to disturb the emperor's Yaxing. Guo Shao thought to himself that the only person who could sleep when the emperor came was probably the little Taoist aunt; she was probably the most relaxed and insightful person in the world.

At this moment, a woman wearing a gray preaching robe slowly walked over and knelt next to her and said: "Poverty Dao begs to see your Majesty, the imperial concubine has heard that your Majesty is in the Sanqing Palace, and asked Poverty Dao to greet her on her behalf."

"Too noble concubine..." Guo Shao groaned, suddenly didn't remember who it was.

The female Taoist said: "The imperial concubine was an imperial concubine from the time of Taizu. She lived in Wanfu Palace. Her six roots were pure and she was a believer. The Empress Duanci allowed her to go to Sanqing Hall for meditation. She was named "Xuanzhen Immortal Master"."

Guo Shao only remembered at this time. The imperial concubine Zhang was Cao Bin's aunt. He vaguely remembered that he had indeed received a letter, which was the content of Zhang's intention to go to Sanqing Hall to practice the Taoism. At that time, he didn't want to interfere in the harem, so he asked the **** to send it to Fu Jinzhan.

Now it sounds like Fu Jinzhan has granted Zhang's request. Guo Shao had an intuition for only a moment: Zhang was quite clever, if she came up with Wanfu Palace, she would become the elder of Fu Jinzhan; but the practice of monkhood is different in Sanqing Palace...but Guo Shao is right This kind of intuition is not serious. He feels that he has been overusing his brain and thinking too much.

Guo Shao had never seen Taizu's concubine, and instinctively the image of a kind-looking old woman appeared in his mind. Although he had seen him, he did not have a bad impression of Zhang... One, because she was Cao Bin’s aunt, maybe Aiwu and Wupai, Guo Shao had a good impression of Cao Bin, UU reading www.uukanshu.com he likes this Generals who have the heart to love others, can restrain their subordinates, and have military talents. Second, Zhang is the concubine of Taizu. Guo Shao has no bad impression of Taizu Guo Wei. He feels that he is a respectable hero, and he has inherited Taizu's Jiangshan, and he is somewhat grateful. If Guo Shao had a prejudice against Taizu, he would not consider himself Taizu's nephew without any pressure.

And although Zhang is an elder, after all, she is a woman who has lived in a cold palace for many years, and Guo Shao has no sense of threat.

An old lady who is kind and respectable, and knows the way of quietness and inaction. Suddenly Guo Shao wanted to see him a little bit. Perhaps besides the irritating mundane things, it would be good to listen to these people talking about Taoism.

Guo Shao felt that the statue in front of him and the hall were quite boring, so he stood up and said, "You can introduce me to you. I want to see the imperial concubine."

The female Taoist worshipped: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, Peng Dao told the imperial concubine and asked her."

Guo Shao said, "She is an elder and should be notified first."
