In the blink of an eye, June has arrived, and the summer heat in the capital is scorching, and it has entered the hottest time of the year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the early dynasty, all the civil and military officials were already sweating and the heat was unbearable.

Walking out of the Taihe Palace, the strong sunlight pierced Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, couldn't open his eyes for a while.

He stood with his eyes squinted for a while before he got used to it, then took out a sweat towel from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his face, and looked at the road leading to the palace gate. Without an umbrella, it was really enough to walk to the gate of the palace under such a fierce sun. But I have to go. Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, put the sweat towel embroidered with delicate flowers back in his pocket and strode towards the palace gate.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, one of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "My lord, someone from Xiliang is here, waiting for you in the box on the second floor of the Golden Inn." ”

Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, suddenly tightened his whole body.

The people from Xiliang must have some important instructions from Wang Zhao Teng.

The military department Shangshu glanced around quickly and asked, "Where is Liang Gongyuan?" ”

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "He has arrived at the Golden Inn, waiting for you to go and rendezvous." ”

"That's fine." Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, nodded, looked around again, and said, "Let's go around along the south of the city, and then turn to the Golden Inn." ”

The subordinate immediately said, "Yes." ”

Guo Mao lifted the hem of his robe and stepped into the carriage.

The carriage then galloped away in the direction of the south of the city.

Guo Mao, who was sitting in the carriage, closed his eyes and thought about things, feeling quite nervous and apprehensive.

Not playing cards according to common sense is what King Zhao Teng likes to do the most, and what surprise instructions will King Ling have this time?

Guo Mao didn't know for a while.

Because he didn't know, he was very worried.

Within half an hour, the carriage stopped, and the Gordon Inn arrived.

Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, put on a low-brimmed hat and got out of the carriage.

With anticipation and uneasiness, Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, walked quickly into the Golden Inn and walked straight to the agreed box on the second floor.

Entering the box, two Xiliang people wearing Hanfu immediately got up and saluted him.

Guo Mao glanced at them and realized that they were not the two people sent by King Ling last time.

"Go down first." Guo Mao said to the two attendants who followed him in.

The two men hurriedly exited the room.

Now, there are Guo Mao, Liang Gongyuan and the two Xiliang people in the room.

Guo Mao took off his hat and sat down on the main seat.

One of the two Xiliang people immediately took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Guo Maodao: "This is the order that the king told us to hand it over to you personally." ”

Guo Mao hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

At this glance, Guo Mao's face suddenly turned pale, and the hand holding the letter trembled unconsciously.

He knew that Ling Wang Zhao Teng's ultimate goal was this, but he didn't expect that Ling Wang would bring this move forward like this.

Guo Mao was at a loss.

But after thinking about it, Guo Mao understood the wisdom of Wang Zhao Teng's plan, to be precise, Wang Zhao Teng chose the right time.

This is exactly when Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, is not in the capital, and Zhao Yuxian, the king of Pei, has been far away in Monan, which is indeed very conducive to the implementation of this plan.

But for Guo Mao, he was caught off guard.

After all, if this plan goes wrong halfway, it will be him and Zhang Zhaoyi who will be the first to die, not Ling Wang Zhaoteng. Moreover, Zhang Zhaoyi now has a deep affection for the emperor, who knows if she will really be willing to cooperate with them to implement this plan?

The two Xiliang people naturally didn't know the content of this letter, but they vaguely guessed what kind of letter it was, they looked at each other, and then one of them said to Guo Mao: "King Ling said that this plan must be implemented before the end of August, so let your side start preparing immediately." ”

Another Xiliang man continued: "He needs you to write back to him and ask you to tell him in detail about your implementation plan in the letter." We know that it will take some time to deploy a plan, so we will live here for six or seven days, and in these six or seven days, please reach a consensus with Zhang Zhaoyi's side as soon as possible, so as to give Ling Wang's side a clear and accurate answer. ”

The Naxi Liang man who spoke earlier added with a smile: "Well, as long as the plan on your side is done and the specific implementation date is also set, then the king of Ling will personally lead troops to attack the capital." ”

Guo Mao did not immediately express his position on this matter, but asked in a cautious tone: "How many private soldiers does King Ling currently have?" ”

The two Xiliang people looked at each other again, and then one of them replied, "We don't know the exact number, but it should be more than 100,000." ”

Such a number of people would be enough to destroy if the imperial court were to attack unsuspectingly.

"However, such a large number of soldiers coming to the capital will inevitably attract everyone's attention, and I am afraid that they will already be known to the emperor before they arrive in the capital." Guo Mao said.

"King Ling asked them to go to the capital in batches, and they came from different directions, and they came in the clothes of ordinary people, and they gathered after arriving on the outskirts of the city, waiting for King Ling's next instructions." One of the Xiliang people replied.

The military department Shangshu thought about it, and was still a little apprehensive in his heart, so he said worriedly: "King Ling's move is too risky, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid his own personal safety will be threatened at that time." ”

"Since King Ling ordered the implementation of this plan, it means that he must have thought it through, and we don't need to worry about it, what we need to do now is how to better assist him in completing this plan." Another Xiliang man said, his tone faintly impatient.

Guo Mao's hand slowly rubbed the teacup without saying a word.

One of the two Xiliang people said: "Lord Guo, as the saying goes: those who know the times are handsome, and now, I am afraid that we have no way out, so let's actively cooperate." ”

Yes, at present, King Ling has laid out a lot of eyeliner in the capital, and if Guo Mao rebels at this juncture, there will only be a dead end. In fact, not only at this time, Guo Mao had no choice many years ago.

Guo Mao, of course, is well aware of his situation.

Guo Mao looked at his advisor Liang Gongyuan, who nodded silently at him.

"I'll find a way to send a letter to Zhang Zhaoyi tomorrow, and then I'll meet with her alone, and I'll give King Ling an answer when I meet with her." Guo Mao said to the two Xiliang people.

The two Xiliang people immediately replied with a smile: "Lord Guo is really wise and refreshing, then we will wait for the news of Lord Guo." ”

"Okay, there are a lot of people in the capital, I hope the two of you will try to go outside as little as possible these days, so as not to attract the attention of others." Guo Mao said busily.

"This is natural, Master Guo doesn't have to worry about us."

Guo Mao got up and said goodbye.

Walking out of the Golden Inn, Guo Mao found that the clothes on his back were all wet with sweat.

He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said to the coachman, "Go home." ”
