After the dispersal of the dynasty, even Zhang Yongde was surprised, Li Chongjin was recuperating at home, the emperor did not let him go to the court at all recently, among the military generals in the court, he and Zhao Kuangyin had the highest status, but today ......

Today, the emperor summoned me to wait for the imperial study to discuss the matter, it is obvious that it is a matter of establishing a prince, why didn't Zhao Kuangyin participate in it?

is really happy, the emperor had better snub Zhao Kuangyin from now on.

Zhao Kuangyin left the palace with a group of courtiers in a nervous mood, and those civil and military generals who were usually close to him all chose to stay away from him.

Only Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin came over.

"Big brother, isn't the emperor calling the imperial study to discuss which royal highness to appoint as the crown prince, then Lord Zhang can go, big brother, you ......"

Zhao Kuangyin bowed his head and was silent, but Han Lingkun stabbed him:

"Be faithful and prudent, and do not guess the divine will."

Shi Shouxin scratched his head and said:

"Thank you Brother Lingkun for reminding me, eldest brother don't worry, it's better to eat and drink together."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Shi Shouxin, this guy has a really big heart, does he really care about the gain or loss of status at all?

Just as the three of them walked out of the palace and were about to get on their horses and return to the house, a little eunuch ran out of the palace gate.

"General Zhao stayed, the emperor announced, and General Zhao's imperial study was ......"

The little eunuch ran out of breath, ran all the way to Zhao Kuangyin's horse, and reached out to grab the reins of Zhao Kuangyin's horse.

Zhao Kuangyin's nervous mood relaxed slightly, it seems that Mr. Li has just told the emperor about last night's drama, and the emperor must not blame me.

It's time to give Manager Li a generous gift again, don't be so nervous next time, okay, almost let the courtiers see the joke.

Zhao Kuangyin guessed correctly, Li Tongjie did take advantage of the efforts of the court to pick up the important information collected last night and tell the emperor, which is the turning point for Guo Rong to quickly summon Zhao Kuangyin back.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that he couldn't dream that yesterday, because of his gaffe in front of the emperor, he missed an opportunity to rebel in advance.

Last night, Guo Rong summoned Zhao Kuangyin to entrust Zhao Kuangyin with a heavy task and entrust him with the task of attacking Liao.

What does this mean?

This means that Guo Rong is ready to give up his plan to drive the expedition in person, and hand over the military power to Zhao Kuangyin......

You just say that in Guo Rong's heart, there is a lot of respect and trust in Zhao Kuangyin.

However, after Zhao Kuangyin's gaffe in front of the emperor and the physical examination of Guo Rong by Imperial Physician Guo, after these two things, Guo Rong has already made up his mind to recruit again.

Zhao Kuangyin came to the imperial study, Guo Rong gave the three civil officials a seat, and Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin also gave a seat for the first time.

also deliberately made a difference to Zhao Kuangyin and Yan Yue.

This made Zhao Kuangyin even more relieved, the emperor still respected and trusted me very much.

"Fan Aiqing, you were the first to play the recital of the crown prince, then it is up to you to tell me, if I want to establish the crown prince, which of the four princes is the most suitable?"

This is actually a common practice, the crown prince is either the eldest son, otherwise he must discuss with the important ministers of the court, even if it is a formality, he must be honestly completed in accordance with the rules.

"The emperor asked, the old minister was bold, now the four princes Zongxun, the oldest among the four princes, and the four highnesses are smart and benevolent, in the court, among the people are also quite praised, just take the four highnesses and five highnesses that were rumored in Kaifeng City overnight yesterday, it can be seen that the four highnesses and the fifth highnesses are suitable candidates for the crown prince, to say bias, the old ministers are more biased towards the four highnesses."

Guo Rong nodded, and looked at Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, who naturally said the same thing.

Then, Guo Rong looked at Zhang Yongde again.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the four highnesses are the most suitable, it is said that the method of physical examination in the army is the first proposed by the four highnesses, and the minister also heard that the guard division of the army, but also made a health certificate, without a health certificate will not be allowed to participate in the training, this is simply a model of loving soldiers like children, the four highnesses are so kind-hearted, will definitely be unanimously loved by all the officers and men in the army."

Zhang Yongde said very decently, and when he talked about the physical examination in the army, he also deliberately glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, which made Zhao Kuangyin really nervous.

Because, when Zhao Kuangyin implemented the physical examination in the army, not only was it not thorough, but also intentionally or unintentionally downplayed the first person of the Fourth Highness.

In the end, Guo Rong looked at Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin knew that at this time, he must not say the wrong thing again.

Since Guo Rong called them over, he actually wanted them to express their position, and at this time, saying that everything was decided by the emperor's sacred heart was obviously not what Guo Rong wanted to hear.

"The emperor, the minister is also biased towards the four highnesses, the ministers think that the four highnesses are most like the emperor, the emperor is heroic, both civil and military, the four highnesses have the ability to suppress wolves and tigers, and have the virtue of generosity and benevolence, if the four highnesses can be established as the prince, my subjects of the Great Zhou will definitely support the four highnesses like the emperor."

After the process was completed, Guo Rong got the answer he wanted, as for whether what these ministers said was true or not, Guo Rong didn't care very much.

If you support it, you will support it well, and if you don't support it, I will clear it in advance for Xun'er.

"Very good, I know your Aiqing's thoughts, Rong Zhen will think about it carefully, and there will be a will tomorrow."

The five court officials present said in unison:

"Your Majesty."

The matter of establishing the crown prince was basically finalized, and Guo Rong once again inquired and told him about the armament, money and food for the Liao State.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I invaded Liao, I am bound to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and I will rescue the Han people from my Yanhuang hometown first, and then I will clean them up one by one after I recapture Yanyun."

When Guo Rong spoke, his tone was very firm, but his eyes were a little deep, but no one present noticed it.

When the important ministers retired and only Guo Rong and the great eunuch Li Tongjie were left in the imperial study, Guo Rong sighed and said:

"Li Tongjie, you come and tell me, if you knew that you only had half a year to live, what would you do?"

Li Tongjie's frightened three souls went out of his body, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, the old slave ......"

Before Li Tongjie could cry about his loyalty, Guo Rong interrupted him:

"Don't do this with me, I'm just asking you, what would you do if you had less than half a year to live?"

Li Tongjie knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply gritted his teeth and turned his heart sideways, raised his head and said:

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the old slave will definitely not be satisfied with waiting for death on the couch, and the old slave will definitely do an earth-shattering event......"

Guo Rong laughed and said:

"You old talent, so ruthless, to the point of a little hysterical, but, you can say that, in the end it is a bloody person, I am very happy, I come to tell you, a good man should be generous, the husband is not afraid of life and death, what I want to do most now is to recover my Han people Yanyun's hometown, and drive the Liao dog out of Shanhaiguan to ......"
