Chapter 160 The Northern Han Dynasty

Although the Northern Han Dynasty was small, it was very tenacious. As one of the ten countries, he was the only regime in the north.

Before, Liu Chengyou forced his rebellion against Guo Wei, but was killed by rebels during the Guo Wei rebellion. Guo Wei completely controlled the affairs of the Later Han Dynasty. However, because he did not receive the support of the ministers in the court, he did not dare to proclaim himself emperor immediately, so he asked Prime Minister Feng Dao to welcome the Xuzhou Jiedushi Liu Yun into the capital and expressed his intention to make him the emperor.

Liu Yun was Liu Chong's son. Liu Chong originally wanted to raise his troops south, but he stopped the army after hearing the news. In December of that year, Guo Wei was supported as emperor during the Changzhou military transformation and established the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was known in history as the Taizu of Later Zhou.

Liu Yun was demoted to Xiangyin Duke. Liu Chong sent Ya general Li Jing to Beijing to take Liu Yun to Taiyuan, but Liu Yun was already killed at this time.

Hearing this news, Liu Chong proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, and still regarded the Han Dynasty as the national name, and continued to use the Qianyou era name, known in history as the Northern Han Dynasty.

Guo Hao knew that this country, Guo Wei, Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, and the three emperors did not resolve this small country until Zhao Kuangyi ascended the throne, and the Northern Han Dynasty was pacified.

Guo Hao had known that the Northern Han would appear, so he didn't say anything in the court. Moreover, he had little experience, so it was not his turn to speak in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

"Dear friends, Liu Chong of Hedong rebels against the imperial court and relies on the Khitan to establish the Han Kingdom. Can you have good solutions?"

After Guo Wei finished speaking, the ministers looked at each other. The first month had not passed yet, and the latter Zhou Xinli was so happy that the ministers had not yet entered the working state.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone could not think of a good idea, but the emperor asked, but he had to tell me, especially the ruling ministers.

Wang Jun said: "Your Majesty, the twelve prefectures in Hedong are just small places. If it weren't for the Khitan support, they would not be able to compete with the Great Zhou.

Your Majesty has just ascended the great treasure and returned to his heart. As long as he issued an imperial edict, Liu Cong would definitely not dare to refuse to obey. Otherwise, when the army arrives, how can he defend the small river!"

Wang Jun started, and the other ministers followed his ideas and expressed their opinions.

"Your Majesty will be the emperor only after following the will of heaven. Liu Chong went against the will of heaven. If his reputation was not right, there would be few people who would support him. Moreover, the land in the river was barren and the people were poor, and the country was short of money, so he could not become a climate."

The ministers all said that they did not look down on Liu Chong. The most exaggerated one said that as long as an imperial edict was issued to surrender the people in the city, the Later Han Dynasty would be defeated without any attack.

Hearing the ministers' speeches, Guo Hao couldn't help laughing out loud. Several ministers noticed him, including Li Gu and Fan Zhi who were not speaking.

"Guo Hao, why are you laughing at?"

Guo Wei suddenly spoke, and this time everyone's eyes fell on him. Guo Hao subconsciously covered his mouth, but it was too late.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I just thought of something interesting. I can't help but lose my manners for a moment. I ask Your Majesty to punish you."

"Interesting things? Tell them out and let them hear them all!"

"Well……"

Guo Hao actually didn't plan to interfere with this matter. After all, the Northern Han Dynasty was not easy to deal with, otherwise he would not have persisted for decades.

But he really couldn't listen. What these ministers said at the beginning was reasonable and justified, but in the end they were only compliments, as if Guo Wei and God were like him, destroying a country in one sentence.

Now that Guo Wei asked him to speak, Guo Hao changed his mind. Now he is discussing military and national affairs. It is already a failure to laugh for no reason. If there is no sufficient reason, Guo Wei can punish him.

So Guo Hao said casually, and Guo Wei did not seem to blame him, but instead asked him to say it out, which made Guo Hao feel a little embarrassed.

"This, there is a kind of turtle in the sea. Its shell is very hard. When it encounters a powerful enemy, it will shrink its head into the shell.

If a big fish wants to eat it, it will be difficult for it to bite its shell. If it is not done properly, it will break its teeth. Moreover, a shark is followed by it, and someone will take a bite when attacking it.

So if you want to deal with it, you must first drive away the shark behind it, and then break his turtle shell so that you can kill it..."

Guo Hao said while observing everyone's reaction. Some people understood what Guo Hao meant, but some people were confused.

turtle?

shark?

What are you talking about?

Guo Wei nodded after hearing this and said, "In your opinion, what can deal with them?"

Guo Hao pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to deal with turtles and sharks. I'm afraid there is only one who can break the shell, or a real dragon can deal with them!"

"The real dragon..."

Guo Wei fell into deep thought. When Liu Bang called himself the Emperor of True Dragon, the True Dragon was also synonymous with the Emperor. When Guo Wei had just ascended the throne, he could be said to be a True Dragon, but...

"Bold, Huangkou boy, you mean, Your Majesty is not..."

Wang Jun suddenly spoke up for Guo Hao. Guo Hao was startled and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, when did I say that Your Majesty? Don't be wronged by me. I'm timid and can't stand being scared!"

After Guo Hao said that, he quickly retreated. Wang Jun wanted to say something else. Guo Wei waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know what Guo Hao means. I think what you all said before makes sense.

However, although the river is small, it is also steep. Although the people are few, there are still 30,000 households. Therefore, we can despise him, but we cannot underestimate him!"

"Abide by the order."

After Guo Wei finished speaking, Guo Hao secretly praised the following. He just reminded him that Guo Wei really understood it. As the saying goes, despise the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically.

If Beihan can persist for so long, there are naturally his advantages. If it is from a conventional perspective, it cannot be overcome.

Guo Hao knew that the Northern Han Dynasty was not simple, so he attached great importance to it from the beginning. The biggest reliance of the Northern Han Dynasty was the Khitan. If he wanted to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty, he had to deal with the Khitan first.

Guo Wei's words set the tone, and I don't know if others can understand it. I don't know how Guo Wei arranges it next, but it's not Guo Hao's turn.

Guo Hao had not made up his mind yet, and there was no result in this court meeting. After going to the court, everyone returned to the office. Guo Hao arrived at the Privy Council. Wang Jun snorted coldly when he saw him.

Guo Hao smiled bitterly when he saw this. He offended his boss on the first day of work, and his life may not be easy in the future.

Just when Guo Hao was depressed, he came over alone and patted his shoulder. Guo Hao turned around and saluted him quickly.

"I have met Lord Zheng!"

The person who came was not someone else, but had a position like Wang Jun, and Zheng Renhui, another Privy Councilor of the Privy Council.

"Haha, you performed very well in the court today. Your Majesty did not read you wrong, do it well!"

Guo Hao was flattered when he heard this and hurriedly said he didn't dare. Zheng Renhui nodded with a smile and walked into the Privy Council.

Looking at these two Privy Councilors, Guo Hao had an idea in his mind.

Wang Jun is a meritorious person, has a high position and a powerful position, but is arrogant and unruly. If he doesn't follow his wishes, it will be difficult to get along with him.

Zheng Renhui was also Guo Wei's confidant. Liu Zhiyuan was in Hedong. Guo Wei took him to talk to him. Whenever he asked, he would answer the truth. Guo Wei valued him very much. The founding of the Later Han Dynasty, Guo Wei led the stake in charge and made him the deputy.

When Guo Wei Jianzuo was awarded his merits, he was appointed as the Sikong, the envoy of the Guest Provincial Department and the inspector of the Danei, and the envoy of the Enzhou Troupe, and appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor.

He is a kind person and humble person, and he is very polite in his words and actions. Although he is highly valued, he can handle things diligently without any self-pride.

After seeing these two people clearly, Guo Hao naturally would not choose Wang Jun. Although Zheng Renhui is not as powerful as Wang Jun, he is also the Privy Councilor after all.

After entering the Privy Council, Guo Hao found a seat to sit down. There were many clerical officials in the Privy Council, and he was considered an administrator.

The Privy Council was in charge of military affairs. Things from all over the country were reported. A minor official brought a stack of documents to Guo Hao and said with a smile: "Please review by the Lord of the Court!"

Guo Hao took the document and found that there was no actual content. It was all about where there was a lack of clothes, what equipment was damaged and needed to be replaced, and where to build a station. In short, it was not very important.

As for the mobilization of troops, weapons, and food distribution, it is not Guo Hao at all. It seems that Wang Jun made a statement and did not allow Guo Hao to touch those things.

When Guo Hao saw these documents, he smiled and shook his head. I was too lazy to do it if I didn't let me do it. He didn't need to do these things at all. To put it bluntly, Wang Jun didn't want to give him rights.

"Let's go here. I'll deal with it if I have time. By the way, where is the Ministry of Revenue? I'll go there to see it."

Guo Wei gave him a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, obviously trying to make money. Compared with the work of the Privy Council, he is more optimistic about the work of the Ministry of Revenue.
