When it was almost evening, Zhao Kuangyin was summoned into the palace by Emperor Guo Rong, and when Zhao Kuangyin arrived at the imperial study, he knew that the emperor had only summoned him alone.

"Wechen knocks to see the emperor."

"Yuen Long is exempt from courtesy, and I called you here so late, I won't blame me for tossing you back and forth so much."

Today, once in the morning, once after lunch, plus this time, Zhao Kuangyin has already entered the palace three times.

Recently, several important ministers of the Zhou State did not dare to take off their official uniforms even if they went home, and they didn't know when the emperor would come and summon a certain Aiqing Imperial Study, Yangxin Palace, and Xinuan Pavilion...... wait for the car to be seen.

Anyway, as long as you think you are an important minister of the Zhou State, you must be ready to enter the palace and be on the way to the palace at any time.

"Your Majesty, you said this, but you have tormented the micro-ministers, the micro-ministers can have today thanks to the emperor's grace, and the micro-ministers are not enough to repay the emperor even if they die."

Zhao Kuangyin bowed his body to show his loyalty to Guo Rong, but he didn't see that Guo Rong's face had changed.

"Does Yuen Long mean that you are only grateful to me, and you just want to repay me, rather than being sincerely loyal to me?"

Zhao Kuangyin realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and shouted long live:

"Wechen is dead, the emperor is angry, the emperor, Wechen is stupid, not very good at expressing it, Wechen's loyalty to the emperor can be shown to the sun and the moon, the emperor ......"

Zhao Kuangyin was in a cold sweat at this time, his back was cold, and the hairs on the back of his neck exploded.

It's also that he has thought too much about Emperor Qin, Han Wu and Tang Taizong in the past two days, what good man doesn't want to sit on the supreme position, and doesn't want to be called the first emperor of the ages by future generations?

The more I think about Qin Shi Huang, I feel that the current emperor Guo Rong is too petty every time he drives a personal expedition, so why do he have to firmly control the military power in his own hands?

The more I thought about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I felt that the current emperor did not have enough trust in me Zhao Kuangyin, and without the courage of the first emperor of the ages, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dared to hand over the military power to Wei Qing and Huo Quai, which made the two famous generals of the ages......

The more I think about Tang Taizong, I feel that it is really inappropriate for the current emperor to engage in a campaign to destroy Buddhism, Tang Taizong also recognized an imperial brother Xuanzang and sent him to the West to learn scriptures, Buddhism, Taoism, including Confucianism, that is the foundation of governing the country.

Guo Rong stared at Zhao Kuangyin who was kneeling on the ground with a pair of eyes, his face was cloudy, originally he summoned Zhao Kuangyin alone to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but now, ......

"Okay, one day when I am here, I don't dare to have any disobedience, you can go down in Yuen Long."

"Wechen retired."

As soon as he was summoned in and said two words, he was kicked out by the emperor, and Zhao Kuangyin felt that this was a sign that the emperor was ready to alienate himself and even expel himself from the core of power in the Great Zhou.

No, I have to hurry back to the house and discuss with the two gentlemen, Zeping and Shunyi.

Zhao Kuangyin left in a hurry, Guo Rong's face did not ease for a long time, not that he wanted to be careful, but that Zhao Kuangyin's answer to the monarch just now really made people have to be careful.

"Yuen Long regards me as one of his sworn brothers, treat me with a brotherly heart, should I say yes or no?"

Zhao Kuangyin can be said to be the best among the young generals who have been vigorously promoted after Guo Rong ascended the throne, and even because of Guo Rong's attention to Zhao Kuangyin, the righteous brothers who followed Zhao Kuangyin have also been promoted to varying degrees.

turned out to be in exchange for a thousand deaths that could not be repaid, this answer is too Jianghu.

Guo Rong paced back and forth in the imperial study, faintly felt a little stuffy in his chest, stretched out his hand and brushed it twice, but it was not good, and he took a sip of hot water from the teacup and still did not feel good.

"Li Tongjie, have Xun'er and Rang'er returned to the palace, after Xun'er returns to the palace, let him take Imperial Doctor Guo to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I am a little tired, and I will rest in the Heart Cultivation Palace tonight."

As soon as this person is in a bad mood, he has no intention of reviewing the chapters, and he doesn't even have the mind to spoil the harem concubines.

It can be seen that in Guo Rong's heart, he has high hopes for Zhao Kuangyin.

If Guo Zongxun knew about this matter, he would definitely shout that his father was wise, in this era of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, anyone who has military power in his hands does not want to be the emperor himself.

Zhao Kuangyin returned to the mansion anxiously, and immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Pu and Shen Yilun, Zhao Pu gave Zhao Kuangyin a look, meaning to go to the secret room to talk, but Zhao Kuangyin ignored it.

"Two gentlemen, thanks to the help of the two gentlemen to Zhao in the past few years, now Zhao has lost his sense of proportion in front of the emperor because of his inappropriate behavior and speech, I am afraid that he will be guilty in the near future, Zhao's death is not a pity, but it has affected the two gentlemen, Zhao really can't bear it."

"Now the emperor is recruiting talents, Zhao doesn't want to drag down the two, and later the two go to the account room to get some silver taels, so let's go to the future, if you want to come to the emperor to be generous and benevolent, he will inevitably reuse the two without sticking to one pattern."

When Zhao Kuangyin was halfway through speaking, Zhao Pu and Shen Yilun understood what Zhao Kuangyin meant, and his words were actually said to some people in the house.

"General, you only think about us, do you ...... yourself, general?"

Zhao Pu and Shen Yilun glanced at each other, and Zhao Pu took the lead in opening his mouth to cooperate with Zhao Kuangyin to set up the stage and sing.

"Shut up, Mr. Zeping, Zhao respects you for your extraordinary knowledge and respect for your talent, but it doesn't mean that you can make a big deal of nonsense here, not to mention that the emperor hasn't condemned me yet, even if he has been axe-added, Zhao will only thank God for killing safely."

When Zhao Pu heard this, he knelt on the ground with a pop, and even said damn it, Shen Yilun on the side stroked his beard and joined the performance.

"General, according to Shen, the general's gaffe in front of the emperor today is not necessarily a bad thing, general, you think, has your promotion speed been too fast in the past few years, and the emperor is now bold and broad-minded, will he be so displeased because of a small mistake of the general?"

When Shen Yilun said this, he stopped talking, don't say anything, let's watch General Zhao perform by yourself.

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and high-fived:

"Oh, thanks to Mr. Shunyi's reminder, otherwise Zhao will not only lose his words in front of him, but also make a mistake afterwards, the more wrong he is, and in the end it will fall to the point of irreparability, Mr. Shunyi please accept Zhao's worship."

Shen Yilun didn't even dare to say it, and Zhao Pu also raised his head and said:

"General, Brother Shunyi is really a person who wakes up in his dreams, the emperor's move must have a deep meaning, we must not speculate, just do our duty, I am willing to follow the general, and we will be loyal to the current emperor and the Chai clan of my Great Zhou Kingdom."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed, stretched out his hand to help Zhao Pu up, and said:

"Mr. Zeping must have been frightened, how could he be as speechless as Zhao, now my Da Zhou royal family is surnamed Guo."

Zhao Pu hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his forehead and made a gesture of shame:

"Oh, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, my subordinates are really ashamed."

When the scene was over, after dinner, Zhao Kuangyin called Zhao Pu and Shen Yilun to the snowy pavilion in the courtyard, and confirmed that there was no one around, Shen Yilun took the lead and smiled:

"Today, I have wronged Brother Zepingxian, for the sake of the lord, I am so self-defeating, I am ashamed of myself."

Zhao Kuangyin also smiled:

"Mr. Zeping's last sentence of allegiance to the Chai royal family is simply a stroke of genius, Zhao admires it."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Kuangyin stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.

There was a star that suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and it pierced Zhao Kuangyin's heart at once......
