When Li Shaoyou, the envoy of Wude and the prince of Shouyang County, was in the Yatang of the Wude Division, the Xingguo Mansion and the study of the back house, Guo Wei learned from Zhang Yongde that the Son of Heaven visited Guo Rong.

Blinking his eyes slowly, with a thoughtful look, Guo Wei's old eyes couldn't see any waves, they were very calm.

"Women, looking at Your Majesty's intentions, she didn't mean to be strict with Brother Rong, and made that stern gesture, thinking that it was just to give an explanation to the outside world. It won't take long for Brother Rong to be released from prison and go to Xuzhou to take up his post. Looking at Guo Wei, Zhang Yongde continued.

"Hmm......" Guo Wei replied softly, still thinking about something.

Although Zhang Yongde is not an extremely smart person, his quality is also high, and when he saw this, he couldn't help asking: "Is there anything wrong with the consideration of the son-in-law?" ”

Slowly turning his head, looking at this son-in-law who was arrogant, Guo Wei's face stretched out, and he smiled lightly: "You are right, your wife and brother are good at killing Puzhou Assassin Shi, although it is reckless, but he is a damned person, just a Zhang Jianxiong, how can he let my son accompany him?" With the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, in his heart everything is measured. ”

However, after this setback, it can be regarded as a kind of tempering for Guo Rong, don't look at his usual cautious and generous, but his uprightness and fierceness are deep in his bones. It's too rigid and easy to break, and after this time, I think he should understand this truth. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yongde again and advised: "You should also keep in mind that in the future, you should be an errand in the big house, don't be ostentatious, be humble, and do things calmly!" ”

"Remember the teachings of the women!" Zhang Yongde is a good person to get along with, and he is even more respectful and obedient to Guo Wei.

"Re-enter over there, and also convey the old man's instructions to him, his temperament is ......" Guo Wei said halfway, stroked his forehead, shook his head and said: "That's it, where can he listen to your words, I will explain it myself if I find an opportunity!" ”

Sighing softly, Guo Wei's tone was obviously much more relaxed, and said, "However, this time, it may not be a bad thing for my Guo family!" ”

"Why?" Zhang Yongde was slightly curious.

"In the past few years, the Guo family has been prosperous, and there are dozens of people in the whole clan who eat the country's money, and there are also many old departments and former officials in the army and the court, and the power is huge. Now the old ministers are gradually withering, and only my Guo family is still standing, which is too eye-catching. And the Son of Heaven ......"

Guo Wei said, obviously embarrassed: "Such a turmoil just eases the jealousy of those villains." I also saw clearly, which are people who rely on power, which ones are worth handing over, and which ones can be trusted, which is a big gain. ”

"People are blessed when they know it! A lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the rear, otherwise I am only afraid that the ending of Su, Yang and other Yuanchen will be the end of my family! ”

Guo Wei's words startled Zhang Yongde, and there was a little hesitation on Zhang Junwei's face: "It's not like this, the Son of Heaven has eyes like a torch and knows loyalty and treachery." Moreover, His Majesty the Son-in-law Guan is still very respectful and protective of the wife and Brother Rong, and he is also very kind to the son-in-law......"

Looking at Zhang Yongde's reaction, Guo Wei may want to sigh that you are too young, but he is even more emotional, imperceptibly, the Son of Heaven is already so popular.

In his mouth, he agreed with Zhang Yongde: "What you said is right, the Son of Heaven still values me Guo, but because of this, I should be good at saving myself and not lose the grace of the king." ”

If Liu Chengyou knew about the dialogue between Guo Wei and Zhang Yongde, I am afraid he would have to sigh: Guo Wei is either a great loyalty or a traitor. Then, continue to use both anti-defense.

Zhang Yongde nodded, but Guo Wei's words still made his heart suddenly, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Woman, after Your Majesty visited Brother Rong's situation, I will come to Guo Mansion to visit, if Your Majesty knows, will you think about him?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Wei stroked his beard lightly, his eyes revealed the meaning of "the son can be taught", and asked Wen Sheng: "Have you ever thought about why the Son of Heaven specially asked you to accompany him to visit the prison, and then allowed you to take leave after the end?" ”

Zhang Yongde took a slight breath and said with a little uncertainty: "Your Majesty deliberately asked the younger son-in-law to inform the woman of Brother Rong's situation?" ”

Guo Wei nodded, gave him a definite feedback, and muttered in a low voice: "Your Majesty is showing my attitude to calm my heart!" ”

After several considerations, Guo Wei looked like he had made a major decision, ignored Zhang Yongde for the time being, lowered his head and wrote on a notebook, and in one fell swoop, he used his own seal, loaded it, and handed it to Zhang Yongde and instructed: "You enter the palace again and hand over this recital book to Your Majesty for me!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yongde stepped forward to take it, and at the same time as answering the order, he couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Woman, what is this?" ”

Guo Wei didn't pretend to be mysterious to hide it, and said: "My Zhishi is just pleading." ”

To put it mildly, Zhang Yongde was stunned.

......

Later the next day, Liu Chengyou received a letter from Zhang Yongde, who was on duty in the palace.

Liu Chengyou's mood seems to be very good, he is not angry at all the day before, after reading Guo Wei's resignation, he was very surprised, and after thinking about it for a while, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Looking at Zhang Yongde, who was waiting in the hall, Liu Chengyou said directly: "Guo Qing is a veteran of the two dynasties, an important minister of the society, and he is in the prime of life, why should he retire, isn't it a loss for the imperial court?" ”

"Zhang Yongde!"

"The minister is here!" Zhang Yongde responded.

Liu Chengyou instructed him: "You pass on the book for Guo Qing, but also pass on a word for me." Tell Guo Qing that there are still many places where I need to rely on him, and I categorically refuse to allow him to resign. In this way, I don't know how Guo Qing's health is, let him recuperate for a while longer, and then serve the court when his body recovers! ”

"Yes!" After listening to Liu Chengyou's words, Zhang Yongde felt indescribable, and his heart was inexplicably relieved.

After Zhang Yongde stepped down, Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Shu, who was waiting in front of the palace: "You say, why did Guo Wei write a letter to resign at this time?" ”

Facing the training of the Son of Heaven, Wang Zhu thought for a while and replied: "The minister's bold guess is for Guo Rong's sake. The people who inspected the two roads of Yushi and Wu Desi have all returned to Beijing to resume their lives, and His Majesty has made a decision about the Puzhou Zhang Jianxiong case, Guo Gong wants to exchange Guo Rong's life with books! ”

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but glance at Wang Zhi more, only to see that his face was still a kind of pleasure in pointing out the country. This person, after all, is young and doesn't have any city government, so he really speaks straightforwardly and dares to say anything......

"Recently, because of the Puzhou incident, there has been a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition!" Liu Chengyou said.

"Exactly!" Wang Shu was a little curious, why did the Son of Heaven ask knowingly.

Liu Chengyou's tone was sharp, and he said: "You go to the government hall to pass on the edict, I think that the public opinion in the DPRK and China has been turbulent recently, and the people's hearts are uncertain, so that there is a lack of government affairs, and I am very annoyed. I hope that the ministers will be vigilant and use psychological politics, and don't talk about it! ”

Liu Chengyou's words are already serious. As soon as this edict came out, smart people could see that in response to the turmoil caused by the Puzhou case, the Son of Heaven wanted to cool down and curbed it.

On another day, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to discuss the crimes committed by the late Zhang Jianxiong, the assassin of Puzhou, during his tenure. Without the tolerance of the deceased, when the evidence is complete, what can the ministers say, the attitude of the Son of Heaven is still there, so Zhang Jianxiong was not at ease after his death, and added 14 felonies, and his name was ruined.

A few days later, Liu Chengyou asked the ministers to discuss the crime of "manslaughter" of Guo Rong by the Zhenning Army, and the ministers discussed that the crime was unforgivable, but it was excusable, and he was deprived of his title and demoted to Xuzhou as an inspection envoy.

During this period of time, what the ministers could see was that more than a dozen imperial historians of the Three Courts inside and outside Beijing were dismissed and questioned.

What the ministers couldn't see was that the martial arts department had undergone an evolution, and the movement was much smaller, but the means were fierce and abnormal. It seems that Gyeonggi has known about it, and it is as if it is missing, so it is natural that there is no news......
