Chapter 153 Qingjun's side (1)
Guo Wei cherishes talents and once asked him about the truth about the Khitan soldiers, horses, food and grasslands. It is said in history that Wei Renpu is "strongly memorized and sharp", is knowledgeable and memorable, smart and agile, and answers like flowing.
Now, Guo Wei is facing the most important moment in his life.
what to do?
Wei Renpu gave a decisive opinion: "The Duke is a minister of the country, and his fame and fortune have always been known to the world. In addition, he has been in charge of strong troops for many years and has been under the control of important cities. Once he is framed by a group of people, disasters will be unexpected.
But this cannot be solved by words, and no one will listen to your explanation. It is already so we cannot sit still and wait for death!”
After saying something, Guo Wei had a direction.
He summoned the generals and told you that something happened in the court: "Everyone, there is an unfortunate news coming from the court. Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, and Shi Hongzhao have been killed by His Majesty!"
As soon as this statement was made, the generals were shocked, and everyone changed their minds and analyzed the seriousness of the matter.
Guo Wei looked at the reactions of the generals and continued, "I, Yang Bin and others, have overcome all obstacles, followed the late emperor for many years, and captured the world in a hundred battles. The late emperor also accepted the heavy responsibility of entrusting his or her orphans at the end of his life.
Over the years, I have been working hard to defend the country. Now that Yang Bian and the other dukes are dead, what else do I have to do with my heart!
The edict is here. You can execute the edict and secret orders and take my head to report to the emperor. In this way, you may not be implicated!"
Guo Hao looked sad, maybe because his family or maybe he was performing. Obviously, this sentence was not the truth.
All the generals under the tent also understood that Guo Chongwei, who received a secret edict to kill Guo Wei, was even more shocked when he heard the news and was even scared to tears.
He cried and said, "The emperor is young, so this matter must be done by the villain around the emperor!
If these villains were to succeed, wouldn’t the country be in chaos?
I, Guo Chongwei, are willing to follow Shizhong to Beijing and go to the court to appeal personally, eliminate the incompetent rats, and eliminate the filth of the court!
You must not be killed by an envoy in vain and gain a reputation for eternity!”
After Guo Chongwei finished speaking, others thought it made sense. Guo Chongwei's crying had a very high strategic value. He not only showed Guo Wei his intention to never be the assassin of Liu Chengyou, but also instantly clarified his attitude.
At the same time, he also showed the world that he was not rebelling and treasoning, but regretting the court's treacherous slander, and thus pointed out a reason for entering Bianliang, which made Guo Wei famous for his later operations.
Guo Wei's actions basically followed this logic until the time is ripe and the world is invincible.
At this time, Hanlin Astronomy Zhao Xiuji continued Guo Wei's words and said, "What are the benefits of dying for nothing!
It’s better to follow the will of heaven, respond to the public’s opinion, and lead troops south!
This is God inspiring us!”
Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions, Guo Wei nodded with a serious expression and said for a long time: "Rong'er, you lead the troops of our troops to guard Yecheng.
Guo Chongwei was the vanguard of the front army. The governor led the army to come straight to Bianliang, punished the treacherous and slandered, and cleared the emperor's side!"
"Get orders!"
Everyone agreed in unison and the army set out.
...
A few days later, Guo Wei's army arrived in Chanzhou, and Chanzhou Jiedushi Li Hongyi opened the city to welcome him. Wang Yin couldn't help crying when he was welcoming him.
"Mr. Guo, I'm sorry for you!"
Guo Wei personally helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said nothing. Wang Yin was deeply moved, and then led his troops to follow Guo Wei across the Yellow River and head south to Bianliang.
Upon learning that Guo Wei was heading south, Liu Chengyou sent the palace servants as meticulous works to secretly monitor Guo Wei, but was captured by Guo Wei.
"General, we have caught a detailed work. Should we kill him?"
When Guo Wei saw the fine work, he shook his head, lowered his head and drafted the memorial form, and placed it in the collar of the fine work.
"After you go back, hand over the document to Your Majesty."
Xiao Zuo thought he would die without a doubt, but he didn't expect Guo Wei to kill him and ran back to the palace soon. Liu Chengyou was panicked when he saw it.
The bill said: "I received the edict yesterday and was already slaughtered, but Guo Chongwei and others couldn't bear to kill me, saying that it was the treacherous villain who was greedy for power around His Majesty.
They slandered His Majesty and framed me, so the soldiers forced me to march south and apologized to the palace.
I begged to die, but I have no choice but to control them. Now, I have arrived in Chanzhou and will soon arrive in Huazhou. I will definitely arrive in the palace within a few days.
If Your Majesty admits that I am guilty, I will not dare to evade punishment. If you think there are indeed villains who slander, I hope you can catch them and punish them before handing over to the army, which will be very satisfying.
If this is the case, how dare I not appease the various tribes and retreat to Ye Town."
Liu Chengyou has already received the "previous report" brought by Guo Wei's detailed work. After reading it, he also felt regretful and fearful.
He said to the left and right: "This matter is a bit sloppy!"
Li Ye also knew that he had caused trouble, but now he had to face it. So just like the monarch used to sharpen his guns at the time of battle, he also asked to open the treasury, reward the soldiers, and deal with Guo Wei.
At this time, Wang Zhang and others had been killed. The prime minister in charge of finance is Su Yugui, who believes that this cannot be done.
Li Ye knelt down to Su Yugui in front of Liu Chengyou and kowtowed: "Please consider the emperor at this critical moment, and don't be stingy with the property in the treasury!"
Su Yugui had no choice but to agree, so he opened the national treasury and rewarded the soldiers. Each of the imperial guards was twenty stalemates, and the other troops were reduced by half.
They also asked them to write letters to the children of Guo Wei's army, asking them not to fight and return to the court.
While speaking, Guo Wei's army had traveled more than a hundred miles southwest to Huazhou, which was less than two hundred miles away from Bianliang. Song Yanwo, the governor of Huazhou, opened the city to welcome him.
Song Yanwo was around the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, and was considered to be the most noble person except the royal family.
He was the grandson of Li Cunxu, the Emperor Zhuang of Later Tang Dynasty. His biological mother was Princess Yining of Later Tang Dynasty. His wife was Princess Yongning, the daughter of Shi Jingtang, the Emperor Gaozu of Jin Dynasty. His eldest daughter later became the empress of Zhao Kuangyin, the Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty. He was known in history as the Empress of Song Dynasty. His family was the relatives of the three dynasties and was known in history as "the prosperity of modern times, and there are few comparisons."
Song Yanwo turned against Guo Wei, which had a great influence on the vassals.
Guo Wei took Guo Yongning and Chai Yige to wait outside the city. After receiving news from Guo Wei's army, he immediately went up to meet him.
Huazhou, Guo Wei’s central army tent.
Guo Hao brought Guo Yongning and the others to come. At this time, the three of them were wearing civil clothes and looked no different from ordinary people.
"Stop, who!"
The soldier blocked the three of them. Guo Hao looked up and stroked his scattered hair and said, "It's me, go and report to the commander-in-chief, I'm back!"
When the soldier heard this, he looked carefully and recognized Guo Hao, and said happily: "It's the military advisor, quickly report to the commander, the military advisor is back!"
Guo Hao led the two into the military camp and went straight to Guo Wei's tent. Guo Wei heard that Guo Hao brought two people and was excited to greet them from the tent.
"father--!"
When Guo Yongning saw Guo Wei, he threw himself into Guo Wei's arms. Guo Wei thought his family was dead, but he didn't expect his youngest daughter to be alive.
"Ning'er, you are still alive, where are your brothers!"
Before, Guo Wei had been enduring in order to maintain his majesty, but now he can't help feeling sad when he sees his daughter.
"Brother and the others..."
At this time, Guo Hao knelt down on one knee and said, "Go back to the commander-in-chief, according to his subordinates, we ran away separately that day, and Brother Guo Qing and Brother Guo Yi had been killed.
One of the three brothers, Guo Ding, escaped, and the whereabouts of the remaining two were unknown, and the rest were all killed by Liu Zhu.
My subordinates are incompetent, so please supervise the commander to punish him!”
After Guo Hao finished speaking, Guo Wei felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fainted. Guo Yongning supported him.
After a long time, Guo Wei recovered and said, "How can you blame you? It's not easy for you to rescue Ning'er. Brother Yi, Rong'er will thank you very much."
Guo Hao was silent when he heard this, his face full of self-blame. Guo Wei sighed and said, "Get up, go see Yuen Long and the others. They are all worried about you!"
"yes!"
Guo Hao left Guo Wei's tent, hid himself in his heart, and found Zhao Kuangyin and others. Everyone was happy to see Guo Hao.
"Brother, military advisor, young master, you are back!"
Guo Hao put one hand on Zhao Kuangyin's shoulder and the other hand on Wang Zhengzhong's shoulder. The others also came over, all of whom were good brothers.
"Brother, why did you come? Haven't you come back long ago?"
Guo Hao sighed and said, "I should have come here early, but when something happened in Jiangnan, some changes happened in Kaifeng.
I originally planned to take people north from Kaifeng, but I didn't expect someone to harm Mr. Guo's family. I took people to rescue him, but Brother Qing and the others still did not escape Liu Zhu's search."
