Chapter 25: A Mouthful of Hot Rice

Just when there was peace in the imperial city, a rumor was spreading rapidly among the people of Kaifeng City.

"Taizu's horse Zhang Yongde secretly trained private soldiers, and also hid a large number of armor and weapons in many places in the city......

The rumors pointed to Zhang Yongde in front of the palace, saying that this person relied on himself to be the concubine of Taizu Guo Wei, and was very dissatisfied with Guo Wei passing the throne to Guo Rong, and had been planning to overthrow Guo Rong himself as emperor.

The reason why this rumor is called a rumor is that it is really unreliable, even if Zhang Yongde is really anti-minded and secretly plotting something, he will do it so imprecedly, so that everyone in Kaifeng City will know about it?

After Guo Rong heard this, he did not immediately issue an order to deal with Zhang Yongde, but he also temporarily relieved him of his military power, and then asked Kaifeng Mansion to collect and sort out all the folk rumors and search the places where the rumors were rumored.

As a result, a search really found armor weapons, but when these armor weapons were sent to Guo Rong, Guo Rong smiled.

"A few tattered uniforms, a few rusty iron knives, a few spears without a spear head...... Zhang Aiqing, if you really want to rebel against me one day, don't use these to fight against the iron army under my command. ”

Zhang Yongde stood aside, his face was red and white for a while, rebellion was a big crime of the Nine Clans, and the emperor still had the heart to joke with him......

"Your Majesty, if you don't dismiss Weichen's military power and only keep the title of concubine, Weichen will keep the princess no matter what."

Guo Rong nodded, even if you Zhang Yongde is still interested, if Li Chongjin is framed, I am afraid that he will either take the opportunity to raise troops or shout to catch the rumor-bearer and break the corpse into thousands of pieces.

"Zhang Aiqing, you don't have to worry, if I decide that you want to rebel, I'm afraid that even the princess won't be able to protect you, you are not standing here now, but I have wronged you for a few days, it's okay, from now on, Zhang Aiqing will be reinstated, and he will still be the former commander of the strongest military palace in my Great Zhou."

"Wechen Xie Emperor trusts, Wechen and the princess will never betray the emperor."

This matter was so lightly exposed by Guo Rong, and the page was turned over, which made Zhao Kuangyin very disappointed.

The few days when Zhang Yongde was suspended was the moment when he Zhao Kuangyin carried out the emperor's will to give a physical examination to all the officers and soldiers of the front division of the palace, without Zhang Yongde's suppression, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others had a lot of prestige in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the front division of the palace.

"Big brother, no, Li Chongjin's old boy has never shown any objections, but he is usually a little rebellious, and the emperor transferred him from the center to Yangzhou to guard against the Southern Tang Dynasty, completely cutting off his opportunity to make trouble in Kaifeng City, Zhang Yongde ...... this time"

There were a total of four people present, Shi Shouxin was the one who spoke, and the other two were Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi.

"General, the lower officials also feel that this matter is strange, although this rumor is untenable at first glance, but doesn't this just give the emperor an excuse to relieve Zhang Yongde of military power or transfer to a local place, why doesn't the emperor take advantage of it?"

This time it was Zhao Pu who spoke, and the idea of walking lame rumors in Kaifeng City was given by Zhao Pu.

"The sacred heart is unpredictable, maybe we are in a hurry, or maybe the emperor really trusts Zhang Yongde, in short, let's stop doing things, if we are implicated because of this, it will be worth the loss."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, Zhao Pu's idea is indeed good, take some specious rumors, take advantage of the emperor's defense and suspicion of Zhang Yongde, and give the emperor an excuse to deal with Zhang Yongde, as long as Zhang Yongde leaves from the front of the palace, this front secretary of the palace is his Zhao Kuangyin alone.

It's a pity that Guo Rong's mind was not expected, and after Zhang Yongde was idle for a few days, he was reinstated, and he returned in a high-profile manner.

In fact, Zhao Pu's idea is indeed a good idea, but Guo Rong's mood and mood at this time are completely different.

The harem is peaceful, Fu Jinhuan, Guo Zongxun's mother is filial piety, Guo Zongxun's various performances make Guo Rong very happy, coupled with the attitude expressed by Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, the two prime ministers do their best, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi and other generals he personally raised up perform their duties, so that Guo Rong's mood is very good, and he is also full of confidence in the Northern Expedition in the spring.

If you are in a good mood, many things will take into account family affection, and the Northern Expedition is imminent, although this is a good opportunity to transfer Zhang Yongde away from the center of the army, but considering the face of her sister the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, it is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month......

After several trade-offs, Guo Rong finally did not attack Zhang Yongde.

Guo Zongxun learned the news, and was secretly happy in his heart, Zhao Kuangyin, a dog thief, will start planning now, get Zhang Yongde down, you want to be the front secretary of this palace, but it's a pity, this prince has crossed over, you Zhao Kuangyin is destined to become a loser and be trampled under my feet.

Zhao Kuangyin began to plan now, Guo Zongxun analyzed, it is estimated that it is not for rebellion, but to eradicate dissidents through the emperor's hand, and when he is really full-fledged, his ambition will naturally swell, especially in the half a year after Guo Rong's death, the time and place are favorable, and everyone will rebel.

I can't reach Zhao Kuangyin now, otherwise, I will definitely pit him a few times, and it is best to make this dog thief completely lose trust in front of his father.

Opportunities always have to be fought for by themselves, and opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, Guo Zongxun believes that you thief Lao Tzu is more thief than you, and you are worse than you if you are bad, I am afraid that Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not take this prince to heart as a great enemy now.

Guo Rong not only did not dispose of Zhang Yongde, but instead sent people to send many rewards to his sister in the palace of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the sister-in-law's suspension of his military post for a few days to worry his sister.

For a time, Guo Rong's actions became a good story in Kaifeng City.

These are all Guo Zongxun asked Wei Zhongxian to find a way to walk out, Wei Zhongxian is now more and more surprised Guo Zongxun, in just ten days, he has found a way to deliver the news outside the palace.

"Wei Banban, what did you say you have been busy with these days, this prince asked you to find a way to eat hot rice at every meal, what about you, you come to taste, how to eat this dish?"

Guo Zongxun was worried about a pot of boiled mutton, it was okay to say that he had lunch, he ate with the soldiers of the Hanzi Army, there was nothing to pay attention to, and Guo Wanche and Yue Fei took care of him, and the food of the guard division has always been good, so Guo Zongxun was still very satisfied with what he ate.

The aunt was called by her father to eat together, and the dinner was eaten by Guo Zongxun himself, and in the winter, it was sent from the imperial dining room, and it had to go through layers of inspections, and when it was sent to Guo Zongxun's table, it had formed a thick layer of mutton fat.

Wei Zhongxian also knows now, the more the master scolds him, the more he is satisfied with his recent performance, and he is also eager to show his ability in front of the master, so he really neglects this hot meal.

After slapping himself, Wei Zhongxian said with a smile:

"The slave should die, it's all the slave's fault, otherwise, master, you can eat some snacks today."

Bang, this sound, it was Guo Zongxun who picked up a piece of hard and cold dim sum and threw it on Wei Zhongxian's head.

"Does it hurt? If this prince gets thousands of these snacks, can he kill you? ”

"It hurts, it hurts, master, you just spare the life of the minion, this matter, the minion is really not good."

Guo Zongxun chased after Wei Zhongxian and kicked a few more times, and said angrily:

"When this prince thinks that his father and aunt eat like this every day, it makes me feel uncomfortable, it's just that, Wei Companion, you stupid can't think of a way, so this prince will think about it himself......"
