Chapter 230 Storage Disaster (2)
There was no airtight wall in the world, and the matter in the court was quickly spread.
As expected by Guo Hao, most of the army supported Chai Rong, and even Zhao Kuangyin and others dared not express their support for Guo Hao openly.
In Guo’s mansion, ten brothers gathered together.
"Brother, what do you think? Your Majesty wants to make your child the prince. If you want, we all support you!"
Zhao Kuangyin was the first to make a statement, and others followed suit, but Guo Hao waved his hand to stop them.
"Things are not as simple as you think. Your Majesty's actions have pushed me to the forefront. If I dare to agree, half of the civil and military officials in the court will support me, but there are only you in the army!"
Several people looked at each other when they heard this. They were all brothers who were blood-making. It was nothing to support Guo Hao, but the others were different.
One is the prince and the other is the prince's father, and there are some differences.
What's more, Guo Wei was in the prime of Spring and Autumn Period, and even if he was appointed as a crown prince, he could not become emperor immediately. However, the two sides were already clearly divided, and there would be open and secret struggles at that time.
"I can't agree to this matter, otherwise my efforts over the years will probably be lost all of my life. You all hurry up and don't expose your thoughts, otherwise it will affect you and my sins will be great!"
After thinking about it, Guo Hao asked a few people to go back first. Guo Hao was very grateful for their support, but this was a big pit and he couldn't take everyone to dance with him.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't it just Guo Rong? Brother, you have the support of Your Majesty, and with our brothers, you can't do anything!"
Guo Hao said coldly: "You are not in court and you don't see the expressions of those officials. Actually, it's not impossible for my son to be the prince, but they are actually afraid of me!
My son is not born, so I am still safe, but once my son is born, it is very likely that it will be the day of my life.
So my enemies are not just Guo Rong, but also all those who fear me. Once I promise Your Majesty, I will make the worst plan!"
Guo Wei was very thoughtful, and Guo Hao was not very weak. No one else thought of this, but Guo Hao thought of it and couldn't help but admire it very much.
After Zhao Kuangyin and others left, Guo Hao hesitated for a long time and wrote a long memorial. This was the first time he wrote a memorial so seriously that it was not completed until the second midnight.
In Guo Hao's memorial, he analyzed the pros and cons of it from all aspects and told Guo Wei that once his son becomes the crown prince, it is likely to cause a series of consequences.
He now has the protection of Guo Wei, and no one in the court can do anything about him, but once Guo Wei is a hundred years old, can those people convince Guo Hao?
If you don’t believe in Guo Hao, then you don’t believe in his son, which will cause a dispute and may be taken advantage of by other places.
At this time, the Southern Han had just invaded, and the Khitan Lord had just returned to the north and took away the imperial seal. Who knew what he wanted to do? The Southern Tang was in its time of prosperity and had been eyeing the Central Plains. If there was any turmoil in the country, it would be a catastrophe.
Moreover, most of the army supports Chai Rong, and Guo Hao's "ideological education" is only implemented among a small number of the imperial guards. Once a mutiny occurs, not only Guo Hao, but also Guo Yongning and their children will be in danger.
Therefore, both public and private, Guo Wei could not make Guo Hao's child the crown prince. For the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guo Hao was willing to take his whole family to Hedong. If he was not at ease, he would step down from all his official positions and stay in Bianliang.
...
Seeing Guo Hao's report, Guo Wei felt a little moved. Although he really wanted to make Guo Hao's child the crown prince, he had to admit that Guo Hao was right.
Unless he killed Chai Rong, he couldn't do anything, and the world had just been peaceful for a few years, and he couldn't bear to have another catastrophe.
...
After Chai Rong from Chanzhou learned about the news, his first reaction was not anger, but disappointment.
He has been with Guo Wei for so many years, and Guo Wei always treats him as his own. Although he is not his own son, he has always regarded Guo Wei as his own father.
When Wang Jun was there, he didn't understand how much hated Guo Hao, but he didn't understand Wang Pu's vague guidance.
Now he finally understood that Guo Hao's threat was so great. Wang Jun was just a minister after all, but Guo Hao...
"What should I do?" Chai Rong asked Wang Pu.
Wang Pu pondered for a moment and said, "Watch the changes."
Chai Rong nodded. He didn't want to make things too big. After all, Guo Wei is still alive now. If he can't help but take action, he is likely to lose justice, because there are still many people supporting him now.
...
Chai Rong thought nothing had happened. When Ang Lee, the head of the Luoyang Beggars' Sect, heard the news, he couldn't help but feel moved.
"Guo Wei actually wants to make Hao'er's child the crown prince, so wouldn't he have a chance..."
Ang Lee, a descendant of Li Tang, had long lost the desire to restore the country, but after being the leader of the Beggars' Sect for several years, his mind became active again.
Especially Guo Hao's status is getting higher and higher day by day, and now he replaces Wang Jun to take charge of the Privy Council, which can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people.
If Guo Hao's son becomes the crown prince, wouldn't Guo Hao have a chance to become emperor?
If Guo Hao became the emperor, then his and Fu'er's children would also be qualified to succeed. Their bloodline was higher than that of Guo Wei. Ang Lee had never looked at Guo Wei from the bottom of his heart!
"Come here, send that person to Bianliang and hand it over to the deputy gang leader in person!"
"yes!"
Ang Lee's confidant took the order and left the head of the Beggars' Gang, and walked to a cave. He opened the entrance and walked for a distance. A dungeon appeared in front of him.
Guo Fengchao was dressed in rags, with two iron chains tied to his hands, his face was covered with mud, and his beard and hair were glued together. At this time, he was staring at the ventilation vent above his head.
"What are you looking at? Let you go out!"
After saying that, his confidant waved his hand. Two Beggar Gang disciples came forward to untie Brother Guo Ding. The three of them covered their faces. Guo Fengchao never knew who they were.
“Go out, go out…”
Brother Guo Ding murmured to himself that he had been imprisoned for more than two years. At first, he shouted, but later he was determined to die, but they just locked him up, giving him food and drink but not killing him.
The dungeon was not safe before, so he took him to this cave. The cave was filled with an unpleasant smell, but Brother Guo Ding didn't notice it at all.
After walking out of the cave and seeing the light of day again, Brother Guo Ding subconsciously blocked the light with his hands, and it took a while before he got used to it.
I looked up at the sky and felt that everything was so beautiful. Looking back on the tragic day, although the past two years were dark, he was still alive.
Brother Guo Ding was taken to the riverside, and two disciples helped him wash and change his clothes. The two-year prison tragedy did not leave any traces on his face. He still looked so handsome.
"Let's go, we'll take you to meet someone. If you have any questions, he will tell you that he saved you."
"who is he?"
"You will know when you arrive."
With doubts, Brother Guo Ding returned to Bianliang, and the three of them sent him to the gate of Guo's mansion and turned around and left.
Looking at the word "Guo Mansion", Brother Guo Ding was a little excited. Could this be his family? It must be his uncle Guo Wei, and he saved him!
Brother Guo Ding stepped forward and knocked on the door with excitement. Guo Hao was in the mansion and looked at the three people kneeling on the ground in shock.
"What? Have you brought Brother Guo Ding back?"
"Yes, the old gang leader personally told us to hand him over to you. He said you know how to do it. In order not to expose the Beggars' Sect, we have been hiding our identity, so he didn't know that the Beggars' Sect is the Beggars' Sect who is in charge of him."
Guo Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Unexpectedly, his old father-in-law, did such a big thing without saying a word. He knew Guo Fengchao's identity, so he could lock him up, and it took him more than two years!
"You guys go back and be careful on the way."
"yes."
The three left the Guo Mansion and were not noticed by anyone. Guo Fengchao outside the mansion knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. Just when he was confused, the door opened.
"This...why are you?"
"Ahem, come in first, it's hard to say it."
Guo Hao really doesn’t know what to say. Old Taishan sent Guo Fengchao back at this time. Could it be to add chips to him?
Brother Guo Ding walked into Guo's mansion in confusion. Guo Yongning was learning embroidery with Li Fu in the courtyard and saw Xiujuan falling directly to the ground in Guo Fengchao's hand.
"Cousin, is it you? I didn't dream!"
Guo Yongning stood up and walked out of the pavilion quickly. Brother Guo Ding happily met his relatives.
"Cousin, why are you here? Are the other people in our family? Are they all okay? Where are the uncles, aunts, and brothers..."
