Chapter 117 Guo Wei's Teacher

I don’t want to pay attention to him. After all, he is the prime minister. Guo Hao can’t beat him at all, so he can’t say it too straightforwardly.

"I don't have any other meaning, I just want to find a name, but since Su Xiang found me, I want to discuss this matter with Mr. Guo."

"Mr. Guo?"

"It's Guo Wei and Guo Situ!"

At the critical moment, Guo Hao could only push Guo Wei out. Guo Wei was ranked as the third Duke and served as the Privy Councilor. His status was no lower than that of Su Fengji, so Su Fengji was also afraid of three points.

Guo Hao did this because he really looked down on the prime minister and did not want to have any interaction with him.

As for Su Fengji, he was very well-behaved and clever in front of Liu Zhiyuan, who was so strict that some memorials were not dared to be corrected by the ministers, so Su Fengji chose some. When Liu Zhiyuan was in a good mood, he handed it in time and often obtained approval.

Liu Zhiyuan was also played with by him unknowingly, which formed the feeling of "Su Fengji is someone above him", so everyone came to curry favor with Su Fengji.

At that time, the Later Han system was created, and many "scripts" were directly written by Su Fengji, but this person was ignorant and only made temporary suggestions as the incident occurred, so it was said in history that "the Han Dynasty was particularly unsuccessful."

During the Five Dynasties, the Later Han Dynasty had no institutional construction, and he did not impose moral governance. Looking at his life, there was almost nothing worthy of praise.

But the despicable facts are one after another. Su Fengji's first bad deed was asking for bribes, and he ignored etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame.

When the Later Han Dynasty was first established, local officials came to the capital Bianliang to meet the new lord Liu Zhiyuan.

There was an official from Fengxiang, Li Yongji. Su Fengji believed that this person was the original royal family of the Later Tang Dynasty and that there must be a "strange product" of the royal family, so he sent someone to hint him and asked for the jade belt used by the Later Tang Dynasty, saying that as long as I gave me the jade belt, I could recommend him to be a state official.

But Li Yongji told him: There was no such jade belt. So Su Fengji asked him to go to the market to buy a jade belt worth thousands of stagnants, and asked Li Yongji to compensate for the money.

Another envoy named Wang Yun of the province was named Wang Yun. In the Later Jin Dynasty before the Later Han Dynasty, he went to the Chu State in the south. Now that the Later Han Dynasty was established, he came back to report the results of his trip to Liu Zhiyuan.

Su Fengji thought that he must have received heavy bribes from Chu State, so he sent someone to ask for things directly. Wang Yun became "unlucky", but he had no choice but to share half of the things he brought to him.

But Li Yongji and Wang Yun did not get official positions in prefectures and counties. This matter was like using other people's money to not even handle the matter. Why did Guo Hao make friends with him like this?

It is rare in history to ask for bribes to reach such a level. Guo Hao had not had time to hide from him. Unexpectedly, he came to him and he could only use Guo Wei as a shield.

Disrespectful and rude to subordinate officials; bribes and repaid, without righteousness; being an official is not clear or innocent, without integrity; being a servant publicly instructing subordinates to blackmail, shameless.

Even if you examine it in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, such evil and stolen officials are rare.

Guo Hao was not aimless in touch with Guo Wei. In fact, the two had a grudge. To be precise, Su Fengji had offended Guo Wei.

During the reign of Emperor Yin, Guo Wei, Yang Bin, Wang Zhang and Shi Hongzhao rose up and divided part of Su Fengji's power.

This made Su Fengji very unhappy. Especially Shi Hongzhao, who almost always favored him. So he relied on Emperor Yin Liu Chengyou to make friends with Empress Dowager Li's brother Li Ye, eunuch Guo Yunming and other powerful ministers, neutralized Yang Bing and Wang Zhang, and started a palace conspiracy.

Su Fengji had all the calculations, but he had a fatal weakness, he was good at drinking crazy, and the historical books said that "making wine".

In his life, he had two heavy "wine" costs and finally made him lose his power. The first time he "wine" he offended Guo Wei.

When he followed Liu Zhiyuan in the past, he once conquered Ye Town. Guo Wei was also an important general at that time. Relying on his intimate relationship with Liu Zhiyuan, Su Fengji repeatedly "drinked" in the army. Although Guo Wei had tolerated it for the time being and did not care about him, he was already worried.

These were told by the Ye brothers. They followed Lao Guo for many years and knew a lot of things. Since they decided to hang out with Lao Guo, they must know who the boss has a grudge with. So when they heard about Su Fengji, Guo Hao refused.

When he heard Guo Wei's name, the messenger lost his previous toughness, but he couldn't get anything, so he couldn't hand in the job.

"So you are a subordinate of Mr. Guo, and Wang Shouen didn't make it clear. Su Xiang should have misunderstood, but I'm going back like this..."

Seeing the butler's attitude eased, Guo Hao laughed: "It's easy to say. The messenger finally came here, how could he go back empty-handed? I'll let someone prepare a gift."

When the messenger heard the gift, he felt a little relieved. At least he was not going back empty-handed. Guo Hao was quite sensible.

However, when he saw the gift, the messenger knew that he had been fooled. It turned out that Guo Hao had prepared a pack of tea for him, which was not worth much money.

"snort!"

The messenger left with his sleeves, Guo Hao's face was gloomy. It must be Wang Shou'en, in order to please Su Fengji, otherwise how could Su Fengji notice him!

Thinking of this, I originally planned to release Wang Shouen a code, but now it seems that keeping him will only make a bad thing, but I don’t know how Guo Wei is doing. If he doesn’t come back, Guo Hao is already planning to take action.

However, Guo Hao didn't wait long before the news of the rebellion being quelled. Guo Wei was coming back, and Guo Hao was relieved.

All three towns were flat, and Guo Wei's prestige increased greatly. When the troops returned to the court, they passed by Luoyang, and Guo Hao was greeting him outside.

As a left-behind in Luoyang, Wang Shouen is also a prime minister in the court. He may be a little arrogant or proud, and thinks he is also a "master". Now Guo Wei is in triumph and should go to the suburbs to greet him, but I, Wang Shouen, is not inferior to you, Guo Wei, and it is still OK to ride a sedan chair.

So he took a sedan chair to greet him. Guo Wei was furious because Guo Hao had noticed him from a distance and saw a sedan chair.

But he remained silent and said hello a little, then went into the city and entered the mansion. Wang Shouen had to follow him. Guo Wei stayed in the museum for a long time before sending someone to pass on the message that he was taking a shower and could not see guests for the time being.

Wang Shouen didn't know that Guo Wei was angry, so he sat in the flower hall and waited slowly.

Following Guo Wei's attack on Li Shouzhen, the Hezhong Prefecture camp was deployed. At this time, Bai Wenke was beside Guo Wei. Guo Wei said to him: "This Wang Shouen is very rude. How can he serve as the Luoyang left-behind for a long time? You, go and replace him now."

Bai Wenke was already an old minister, but he still did not dare to violate Guo Wei's orders, so he had to go to the left and take over.

After everything was done, one person was sent to the mansion to tell Wang Shouen: "Shizhong Bai was ordered by the Privy Councilor to take over as the Luoyang left-behind, and the procedures were completed."

Wang Shouen was shocked and hurriedly rode back to the mansion. He saw hundreds of family members had been expelled from the mansion and were at a loss on the thoroughfare.

After Guo Hao bowed, he kept following the crowd. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sneer, thinking that if you are not good at provoking Guo Wei, I can't touch you, and Lao Guo doesn't want to dislike you.

Wang Shouen was finally dealt with, Guo Hao was in a good mood. Guo Wei saw him smiling and asked with a stern face: "Are you happy this time?"

Guo Hao coughed dryly when he heard this and said seriously: "Wang Shouen has corruption and deprived the people of the people of the country, and Gong Guo eliminates the harm for the people, and his subordinates are happy for the people and the court!"

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Guo Wei didn't say much: "Now the rebellion has been put down, and you should end your leave. Now that the army returns to the court, you can go to Beijing with me!"

"yes!"

Since I want to hang out with others, it’s not OK to go to work. Fortunately, the situation in Luoyang has already opened up, with Bai Wenke and Zhao Hongyin there.

When he returned home in the evening, Ang Lee and Li Fu were both there. Now that Luoyang has become the headquarters of the Beggars' Sect, Ang Lee naturally doesn't have to run around.

"Fu'er, father-in-law, the day after tomorrow I will enter the capital, and I will leave my family to you."

Li Fu was a little reluctant to leave when she heard this, and didn't say anything. Ang Lee felt sorry for his daughter and said, "Now that the rebellion has been quelled, the world is peaceful. If you go to Beijing to become an official, why don't you bring Fu'er with you?"

Guo Hao shook his head when he heard this. Now the world seems to be stable, but Guo Hao knows that all this is an illusion.

In Guo Hao's memory, the Later Han Dynasty did not exist for a few years, but it was destroyed because of Liu Chengyou's willfulness.

The cause of all this was that Guo Wei had to fight the Khitan after quelling the rebellion. At this time, Liu Chengyou had already begun to suspicion of the ministers and caused a bloody storm in the capital.

Several old ministers were killed one after another. In order to protect themselves, Guo Wei had to rebel and went south under the name of "clearing the monarch".

And all his family were killed in the capital, so how could Guo Hao feel relieved that Li Fu would go to Bianjing?
