Chapter 112: The boss is mighty, the boss is really handsome
Guo Zongxun is also not polite, if Wei Renpu doesn't make this matter clear in public in the court, Guo Zongxun can make good use of it, but now......
Is there any other way than to kill a person's head?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is afraid, and the minister is also for my Great Zhou Sheji, why do you want to be reckless?"
Wei Renpu is not a temperless person, since the prince directly accused him, then at least let him know what was wrong, so that he was willing to bow down and admit his mistake.
"Lord Wei, before this matter is exposed, we still have the opportunity to thoroughly investigate and ban all the books involved in leaking the secrets of the Great Zhou, and secretly arrest the perpetrators.
Wei Renpu still doesn't understand, is it wrong for me to disclose this?
"The minister is stupid, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make it clear, what is wrong with the minister?"
told Wei Renpu that Guo Zongxun was going to use these disguised traitorous civilian officials to fight a spy war with the surrounding Siyi, and it was estimated that he would not understand.
Guo Zongxun had no choice but to sigh, glared at Wei Renpu and said:
"Lord Wei, Qin Li is not a famous Confucian in the world, the popularity of his books will not be very high, don't you say it, many people are afraid that they haven't realized that in the various bookstores in Kaifeng of my Great Zhou, there are still various military secrets of my Great Zhou, and you are now revealing it in public, immediately, this matter will be known to everyone."
This reason is far-fetched, and there is some truth, and Guo Zongxun can only say this at this time, the plan he has in mind will never be said easily.
Wei Renpu's eyes widened when he saw the prince, and he also knew that if he continued to fight against him, he would definitely be the one who suffered, so he should be soft.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taught him a lesson, it was the ministers who were reckless, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to condemn the crime."
After speaking, Wei Renpu bowed down and saluted Guo Zongxun.
Guo Zongxun walked over and helped Wei Renpu up, and sighed:
"Lord Wei is dedicated to the country, what is the sin, it is a little lonely and impetuous, Lord Wei don't blame it."
The two of them were polite to each other, and Guo Zongxun asked:
"Lord Wei, what my literati are currently writing and talking about in the Great Zhou Dynasty is controlled by the imperial court?"
Wei Renpu shook his head and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, although my bookstore in Da Zhou is concentrated in Kaifeng, none of them are government-run, and it is ashamed to say that the family of the minister has opened such a bookstore, and the families of Lord Fan and Lord Wang also have ......."
Guo Zongxun smiled bitterly, can he really kill all these people?
The three prime ministers, their families all have bookstores, but I am afraid that they will make a lot of profits.
"Lone knows, Lord Wei, you go down and inform me privately, let the major families check themselves first, anything that involves my Great Zhou national situation can no longer be printed, let them hand over the copy to you, Lone may still be useful, the published ones will be withdrawn immediately, and those that have not been published will be destroyed immediately."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that the minister's old face in this matter will not move them, but the minister can guarantee that the bookstore in the minister's house will stop publishing all books from now on."
Wei Renpu guessed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to do something to the family bookstore in Da Zhou, so he might as well be a little more simple and take it soft.
It's a fool to work against someone who has military power in his hands.
Regardless of whether the emperor will interfere in this matter or not, right now, those who dare to contradict the prince will definitely suffer.
"Master Wei just has to speak, you don't have to worry if you don't listen to it, you have your own opinions."
"That being the case, the ministers obey."
Guo Zongxun asked Wei Renpu to step down, leaving Han Tong and Cao Bin behind.
Cao Bin is now regarded as his own person, which is also taking advantage of Guo Zongxun's knowledge of history, and knowing that Cao Bin is available, it can be regarded as Cao Bin's luck.
As for Han Tong, Guo Zongxun has been observing this person, but unfortunately this person has left too little ink in history, and only knows that he is the only Houzhou courtier in Kaifeng City who was destroyed when Zhao Kuangyin rebelled.
Previously, although Han Tong was in charge of the front division of the palace, Guo Zongxun already had Yue Fei and Cao Bin by his side, if he ran to get close to Han Tong again, I was afraid that it would make Guo Rong unhappy.
Therefore, so far, the relationship between Guo Zongxun and Han Tong, that is, during the last military parade, Han Tong personally led the horse for Guo Zongxun.
"General Han, since this matter is on the civilian side, it is inappropriate for them to check themselves, so you will be responsible for secretly and thoroughly investigating the bookstores of the large and small bookstores in Kaifeng City, and buying back three volumes of each of the books they sell.
"Chen Hantong obeys the order."
Han Tong also retreated, and in the political hall, only Cao Bin and Wei Zhongxian were left.
"Wei Banban, General Han said that he was secretly investigating thoroughly, and it is inevitable that there will be some movements, so you will be responsible for sweeping the tail here."
Assigning tasks to Wei Zhongxian has an advantage, if he doesn't understand, he will definitely ask, and if he doesn't ask, it means that he understands.
"The minions obey."
Wei Zhongxian also went down, leaving Cao Bin alone.
"General Cao, your two sons are very good here in Lone, don't worry, although the two sons are naughty, but Lone likes them very much, Lone will be strict with them, General Cao and Mrs. Zun don't feel distressed."
How could Cao Bin not understand, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince officially recruiting him.
"The ministers and the entire Cao clan are willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is a dissenting heart, all the men of the clan will die, and the women will become prostitutes."
Guo Zongxun hurriedly helped Cao Bin up, Lone still expects your Cao family to have a queen, your female dependents have become prostitutes, what are you still playing.
"General Cao, as long as you are loyal to Gu, Guding will not treat you and the Cao family badly."
Cao Bin stood up excitedly, he knew that the prince would never solicit him at this time for no reason, there must be something important to hand over to him.
"The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness the Prince, and die without regrets."
"General Cao, select five hundred people from the guards under your command, let them withdraw from the army, and hand them over to Gonggong Wei, you can discuss with General Han about the shortage of personnel in the guard division, find General Shi Shouxin from the front of the palace, and make up for it from the front of the palace."
Guo Zongxun decided to speed up the establishment of the East Factory, and the veterans of the Hundred Battles of the Guards Division were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates, and it was too wasteful to let these people go to farm after retiring.
"Obey."
Cao Bin was slightly disappointed, the prince only asked him to select five hundred soldiers and hand them over to Wei Zhongxian, but did not arrange specific errands for him, which ......
"General Cao, there are many things that you still don't know now, I believe Gu, this is definitely for your good."
Guo Zongxun's words completely dispelled Cao Bin's doubts, yes, why do you have to know so much, just do your best for the prince.
If the prince doesn't let himself know, don't think too much, it's easy to deviate if you think too much, and if you deviate, you will make mistakes, and if you make mistakes, you may never recover.
"If the minister doesn't dare, the minister will abide by his duty."
It's not that Guo Zongxun doesn't want Cao Bin to know so much, but before he ascends the throne, the people he can fully trust can only be Yue Fei, Liu Bowen and Wei Zhongxian.
This is not to blame Guo Zongxun, he was also frightened by history, Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin are ready to move, not to mention, even the civil officials of the Great Zhou are betraying the country in disguise intentionally or unintentionally.
It's horrible.
The publishing rights of books must be collected from the private sector and from the family.
This is the first thing to be resolved between Guo Zongxun and the family.
In the afternoon, Guo Zongxun summoned Lu Duan and went to Honglu Temple together, and first met Yelu Huage, the envoy of the Liao State Mission.
"Foreign Minister Yeluhua Brother see His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Zhou."
"Lord Yelu is exempt, my father has led a large army to go out, whether to fight you or the Northern Han, Lone doesn't know, Lone came today, just to ask, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, whether your Liao Kingdom is still or not?"
When Brother Yelu Hua first saw Guo Zongxun, he said in his heart, what can a six-year-old doll have too much ability, but this Lu Duan is a little difficult.
Unexpectedly, it was not Lu Duan who was aggressive, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou.
"The matter of Yanyun is very old, my Da Liao has controlled Yan Yun for more than 20 years, and two generations of Liao people have grown up in Yan Yun.
At this time, Yelu Huage also knew that he had to face this problem, and he couldn't be ambiguous.
"In that case, then what else do you have to talk about, farewell, Lone will send a letter to his father, whether his father decides to fight you or the Northern Han, Lone will suggest that his father destroy your Liao Kingdom first."
Lu Duan acted as a peacemaker on the side, Brother Yelu Hua was disdainful in his heart, and let a little doll run to charge, is Da Zhou really unmanned.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be angry, since the two countries have started peace talks, we can't mess up the things entrusted by the emperor."
Lu Duan grabbed Guo Zongxun with a sad face, and persuaded hard, and Guo Zongxun reluctantly sat back.
"Lord Lu, are you in touch with foreign countries, the negotiation limit given by your father, the Liao State will first return the sixteen states of Yanyun, withdraw from Shanhaiguan, and then talk about peace talks, now this bad old man actually said that Yanyun is the land where they don't give up an inch of land, what else is there to talk about, is it Lone who wants to mess things up, or do you Lord Lu have other plans."
Lu Duan fell to his knees with a thud, shouting that he was wronged, and Brother Yelu Hua happily watched the play on the side, neither arching the fire nor watering, just watching quietly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are wronged by the minister, as my courtier of the Great Zhou, how can he do something about foreign affairs there, the minister asks His Royal Highness the Prince, remove the minister from his post and appoint someone else."
Guo Zongxun also pretended to be held by Lu Duan, scratching his head in embarrassment, but staring at Brother Yeluhua with hatred.
"Come on, pull off this bad old man's beard one by one for Lone, and Lone will be angry when he sees the bearded old man."
I'll go, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou say that he is talented and intelligent, didn't he say that he is a prodigy, how does he feel like a second ancestor?
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must not, Lord Yelu is the official envoy of the Liao State, and you must not be rude to Lord Yelu."
Lu Duan hurriedly got up to stop him, Guo Zongxun jumped and jumped and was about to lead someone to rush over, Brother Yelu Hua saw that if he pretended to be an old god again, he was afraid that this beard would really not be able to be saved.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, Lord Lu, the foreign minister thinks that this land of Yanyun is not negotiable, these are the basic common sense of negotiation, didn't Lord Lu tell His Royal Highness the Prince?"
The root of Lu Duan's hateful teeth itches, this old man still wants to provoke the relationship between me and the prince, don't you know that we are acting for you.
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the negligence of the ministers, the negotiations between the two countries have always been needle-to-needle, and there have been countless verbal battles between the two countries, if you want to do it because you are not happy, it is better to see it directly on the battlefield."
Guo Zongxun stopped jumping at this time, looked at Brother Yelu with hatred, and said:
"Don't talk to this bad old man, Lord Lu, you can talk about it yourself, and go to find the happiness of the Northern Han Mission."
After speaking, Guo Zongxun took Wei Zhongxian, Cao Bin and Zhang Tieniu and left, leaving behind Lu Duan with a wry smile on his face, and Yelu Hua with a shocked face.
Zhou Guo actually talked with me Da Liao and the Northern Han at the same time, this is ......
In the end, it is difficult to say which is the goal of the Emperor of Zhou's imperial expedition.
"Lord Yelu, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has handed over the task of peace talks to this official, then this official will talk to you, let's say, what does it mean that Yanyun can also be talked about."
Yeluhua held out a finger:
"If Da Zhou is really willing to marry my Liao State forever as a brotherly country, Da Zhou is a brother, Liao is a brother, from generation to generation, and does not invade each other, then, my Liao State is willing to cede Yunzhou to Da Zhou, Lord Lu has to hear clearly, it is a cession, not a return."
Lu Duanle, this bad old man is very bad, if Da Zhou wants to get Yunzhou, he must first destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, and then he has to bypass Chenjiagu, Yanmen Pass, Shuozhou, Huanzhou and Yingzhou.
And these two levels and three continents, listening to what Yeluhua meant, they didn't plan to return it at all.
"This is really good news, Lord Yelu would have said no, let's start talking, come on, take the map."
The official of Honglu Temple brought the map, and after spreading it out, Lu Duan pointed to the location of Yunzhou and said:
"It's definitely not enough to just return one Yunzhou, so let's do it, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, you return the fifteen states first, as long as you withdraw from Gubeikou, you don't need to withdraw from Shanhaiguan."
Brother Yelu knew that Lu Duan was starting to mess around, north of Gubeikou, it has always been the land of Daliao, and he withdrew from Gubeikou, and he was still playing a fart.
"Master Lu, the old man wants to correct one of your statements, which is to cede, not return."
"It's restitution, not cession......"
The two of them were on the bar because of a wording.
Guo Zongxun came to the place where he negotiated with the Northern Han mission.
"Foreign ministers Hu Guirong and Jiang Jinwu, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shangguo."
"Let's be even, Lone is here today, to preside over the peace talks with the Northern Han as the prince of the prison country, let's talk about it, are you going to lose money, or land, or you directly announce your surrender, and my Great Zhou Tianbing will take over you, I believe that Lone's father will definitely give the monarch of the Northern Han a very good title."
Guo Zongxun continued to start the arrogant and nonsense mode, and there was no Lu Duan and thin mud next to him, which made Hu Guirong a little unexpected.
No, Da Zhou actually sent a little doll to negotiate peace with us, although he is a prince, but ......
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, and the lower officials were ordered by our emperor to send a letter of state, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take a look."
Jiang Jinwu just wanted to approach Guo Zongxun with the national letter, but Zhang Tieniu stepped forward to stop him.
"Stop, foreign envoys, anyone who dares to approach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince within five steps will be killed."
The corners of Jiang Jinwu's mouth twitched twice, although he was a main battle faction, but here, with his ten guts, he didn't dare to make a move that endangered the prince of Zhou, and he was not a dead man.
Besides, even if it is a dead soldier, if you want to assassinate it, you will assassinate the emperor of Zhou, and what is the effect of assassinating a six-year-old prince.
The Emperor of Zhou also had several sons.
"Then please submit it to the general."
Jiang Jinwu respectfully saluted Zhang Tieniu and held the national letter in his hand.
"Bring it, go back and stay."
Zhang Tieniu glared at Jiang Jinwu, even if you kid has the eyesight, you still know how to call me a general.
Guo Zongxun took the Northern Han Dynasty book, opened it and read it, and said in his heart, are the monarchs of the Northern Han Dynasty so shameless from generation to generation.
First, he called himself a minister to the Liao State, called himself the nephew emperor, and this time he came to my Great Zhou to call himself a minister, and also called himself the nephew emperor......
"Master Hu, there is a problem with the writing of this country, you are not here to talk about peace, you are here to declare war with my Great Zhou."
Hu Guirong was taken aback, what is this, our national letters are so groveling and shameless, His Royal Highness the Prince, which eye can you see that this is a declaration of war.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the foreign ministers don't understand what you mean, the words in the national letter of our country are sincere, full of respect and admiration for the Great Zhou, the emperor of our country is willing to call himself a nephew to the emperor of the upper country, the Great Zhou and the Northern Han Dynasty have become a country of uncles and nephews, eternal peace, mutual non-aggression, where will this be a declaration of war, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't want to joke."
Guo Zongxun directly threw the Northern Han Guoshu to the ground and said:
"Let me tell you that in this Honglu Temple, the Liao State Mission is also talking with me on the Great Zhou, and their national letter also calls me a nephew to the Great Zhou, I want to ask, the Northern Han calls itself a nephew to the Liao State, and the Liao State calls itself a nephew to my Great Zhou, and then your Northern Han Dynasty still calls itself a nephew to my Great Zhou, this generation is a bit messy."
Hu Guirong and Jiang Jinwu were stunned for a while, Liao Guo was so shameless, he actually robbed us of the opportunity to be Zhou Guo's nephew.
Guo Zongxun looked at Hu Guirong and Jiang Jinwu without speaking, turned his head and asked Wei Zhongxian again.
"Wei Banban, for you, isn't this generation a bit messy, if you want to smooth it out, what should the Northern Han Dynasty call me to the Great Zhou?"
Wei Zhongxian smiled:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this generation is indeed chaotic, if you want to smooth it out, the Northern Han Dynasty should call yourself a nephew and grandson to my Shangguo Dazhou."
"What do you mean by a nephew?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, nephew, it means the third grandson, the gray grandson."
"Hahaha, this is good, the third grandson of the Northern Han Dynasty, the gray grandson of the Northern Han Dynasty, listen to it and relieve your anger."
Hu Guirong and Jiang Jinwu still can't hear that the prince of Zhou is deliberately humiliating them, then he is definitely pretending to be stupid.
The two countries have diplomatic relations, and when it is time to be tough, it is still necessary to be tough.
Hu Guirong stopped Jiang Jinwu, who wanted to rise up, it is useless to be reckless at this time, and he should show the integrity of a diplomatic envoy at this time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as a member of the royal family of the Shangguo Kingdom, has made such a mockery and insulted my Han Emperor, and the foreign ministers want to ask, is this the etiquette of your Shangguo Dazhou?"
Guo Zongxun stood up, jumped on the desk, pointed at Hu Guirong's nose and scolded:
"The etiquette of my Heavenly Dynasty is for those Han men who know honesty and shame, just you, a group of wine bags and rice bags, only know how to wag their tails and beg for mercy to Liao dogs, and they have helped Liao dogs to invade my Da Zhou several times, and now Liao Guo doesn't care about you, and you want to call yourself a nephew to my Da Zhou, so I want to ask you, do you still want to face, are you worthy of being called a Han man?"
Hu Guirong wanted to fight back, but Guo Zongxun glared at him and shouted:
"You shut up, you dare to say a word, Lone will order someone to beat you out of your mouth, if you don't believe it, you can try, Lone left you only one sentence, write a letter to your Northern Han monarch, urging him to surrender as soon as possible, Lone may also say a few words to his father, and seal that Liu Jun a dog-tailed title, otherwise, my Great Zhou Tianbing will definitely step on you."
After speaking, Guo Zongxun flicked his sleeves and left proudly.
Only the dejected Hu Guirong and the thunderous Jiang Jinwu were left.
"My lord, Da Zhou is too much of a bully, we might as well go back, we would rather fight to the death with Da Zhou than endure such humiliation."
Jiang Jinwu's eyes were on fire, and his teeth were crumbling.
"Humiliation? Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Zhou is right, since my Han recognized Liao Gou as his uncle, we, who still have the face to claim to be the descendants of Yan and Huang. ”
Hu Guirong flicked his clothes, sat up straight, and looked in the direction where Guo Zongxun left just now, his eyes flashed, but he was ignored by the angry Jiang Jinwu.
"Lord Hu, when you say that, do you want to persuade my emperor to surrender?"
Jiang Jinwu's eyes showed a fierce light, and his hand unconsciously pressed to his waist, but he found that he was not wearing a sword.
"Jinwu doesn't need to be angry, the old man is just a little emotional, the prince of the Great Zhou is obviously here to mess around, and sit down, wait for the official of the Great Zhou who is really in charge of the peace talks to arrive."
The purpose of Guo Zongxun's appearance today is to make trouble, and the purpose is naturally to continue to confuse the public.
On the one hand, it left the Northern Han and Liao envoys with the impression that the prince of the Zhou State was flying and domineering, and on the other hand, it ......
On the other hand, Guo Zongxun himself could not lead the troops to crusade against the Northern Han and Liao States, so he came to scold people.
After making a fuss, Guo Zongxun didn't say hello to Lu Duan, and left Honglu Temple with his own people, which was naturally discussed with Lu Duan in advance.
"Let's go, let's go to the Chun Trap Courtyard to see Xiao Xiuxiu and Yan Yan, and Gu decided to find a teacher for Xiao Xiuxiu who specializes in teaching him the art of war."
Cao Bin smiled secretly in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is preparing to let Zhao Er come out of Brother Yelu Xiu of the Huohuo Liao Kingdom, this time there is a good show.
When they came to the Chun Trap Courtyard, Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan were very honest, even if the guards guarding them wanted to take them out to show off the market, they all begged bitterly.
Spare us, don't let the people of Da Zhou waste those rotten vegetables and rotten eggs.
"Xiao Xiuxiu, Yanyan, your boss will officially take charge of the country from today."
"Brother Hugh congratulates the boss, congratulations to the boss, the boss is mighty."
"Yanyan also congratulates the boss, the boss is so handsome."
