Chapter 103: Guo Wanghui
After asking about important military and political affairs, seeing that it was getting late, with a wave of his hand, Liu Chengyou directly asked the ministers to disperse.
The golden crow fell far away in the west, leaving only a little time, and the last bit of light would be swallowed up by obscurity. In the Biangong Palace, several palaces dominated by vertical arches and Guangzheng have been lit with palace lamps. The late autumn night is as cold as water, and in this deep palace mansion, it is even colder.
Dressed in a scholar's robe and wearing a hood, Guo Wei's martial arts aura became weaker and weaker, his steps were square, his face was peaceful, and he was said to be a civil official and a Confucian scholar, and some people believed him.
His hands were simply copied in his sleeves, and he walked out of the palace with Wang Jun in the night breeze, Guo Wei turned his head to look at Wang Jun: "This time I was edicted to return to Beijing, and I was fortunate to be promoted and was in the center." When I first arrived, I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and I want to congratulate Brother Wang! ”
Between Guo Wei and Wang Jun, the relationship was not close before, but it was not bad. Of course, in the entire Han court, there are few people who have a bad relationship with Guo Wei, and there are also Liu, Li and other royal relatives, especially the imperial uncle and Hedong Jiedu make Liu Chong very much, which was a Liangzi when he was still in Jinyang.
It is reported that Liu Chong also paid attention to the situation in Jinyang from time to time, especially in the past six months after the new emperor ascended the throne. Knowing that Liu Chengyou reused Guo Wei and made him uphold power, he was very dissatisfied, and repeatedly criticized him in front of his subordinates.
Synchronized with Guo Wei, hearing his words, Wang Jun said lightly: "Compared with returning to the dynasty, I am more interested in the western region, the four states of Qin and Feng will not be returned to the rule, the Shu army can go north at any time, and Guanyou is always uneasy!" ”
Wang Jun's tone was still a little unwilling and a little dissatisfied.
"With the martial strategy of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely not allow the country to be torn apart, even if it is to consolidate the right of the Qi Guan, he should send an army to take it on another day, and then it will be the time for Brother Wang to fight hard!" Guo Wei noticed Wang Jun's slightly hazy face under the dim light, and chuckled: "When the imperial court is employing people, Your Majesty is even more thirsty for talent, and this autumn will come to an end." With Brother Wang's talents, Hui Chaozheng can do his best for the court and the people of the world. ”
Guo Wei's tone was a little flattering, Wang Jun was in a slightly better mood when he heard it, and there was not much arrogance on his face, but between his eyebrows, he was clearly confident.
Glancing at Guo Wei, Wang Jun's eyes rolled and said, "The Privy Council has a capable minister like Brother Guo in charge, wouldn't it be superfluous for me to come?" ”
"Brother Wang said he was laughing!" Guo Wei raised his eyebrows, still smiling, and arched his hands: "Meng Tianzi trusts me and entrusts me with privy counsel, since I took office, I have been exhausted, and I have been overwhelmed by the heavy affairs recently, and I feel even more powerless." Now that there is Brother Wang to help, I can breathe a sigh of relief! ”
Guo Wei gave face like this, and with Wang Jun's pride at this time, he was a little embarrassed. He returned the salute, thought for a while, and suddenly turned his head and asked: "The Son of Heaven wants to rectify the forbidden army, what does Brother Guo think, what is the future of this matter?" ”
After so many tongues, I finally said something nutritious. Hearing his question, Guo Wei seemed more and more calm, with a thinking expression, the wind blew his beard lightly, raised his head, and said to Wang Jun: "What does Brother Wang think?" ”
For Guo Wei's performance of buckle and rope, he actually had a sense of superiority in his heart, and his eyes were placed in the depths of the long and secluded palace corridor, and he said calmly and confidently: "Take advantage of the suppression of the rebellion and the peak of power, as long as the Son of Heaven is determined enough to implement it, I'm afraid no one can stop it!" ”
"However, the establishment of the front division of the palace and the reorganization of the guard army are clearly dividing the power of the guard division, I am afraid that Shang Hongqian will not be easy to comply! Of course, the Son of Heaven is becoming more and more famous in the army, and Shang Hongqian alone is probably not the opponent of the Son of Heaven. Besides, with our assistants, it is difficult for them to have any big things! ”
Although Wang Jun's attitude is arrogant, what he says is to the point. Between the words, the strong self-confidence almost infected Guo Wei.
Guo Wei showed thoughtfulness, and then suddenly, and then looked at him: "Listening to Brother Wang's tone, do you want to support the Son of Heaven?" ”
"Fang is in the palace, hasn't he already made his attitude clear? Brother Guo, don't you have this heart? Is it only perfunctory to the Son of Heaven? Wang Jun stopped, clasped his hands, and looked directly at Guo Wei.
This kind of talk can't be taken casually.
Guo Wei followed, nodded his head gently, and finally said something truthful: "The forbidden army is the wings of the country, and a strong army is like a strong wing, making it vigorous and powerful, Guo should be dedicated to it." ”
"Brother Guo is loyal and upright, and has a discerning eye, no wonder the Son of Heaven is so trusted." Wang Jun laughed.
"Brother Wang has a good reputation!"
Seeing Guo Wei's humility, Wang Jun only felt that this person had changed a lot. Judging from the past experience, how can Guo Wei be so "elegant and easy-going".
"Your Majesty wants to reduce the power of the Guard, and the authority of the Privy Council, Brother Guo is the cardinal, and you still need to say hello! This time the army is reorganized, but there is a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. Pacing again, Wang Jun said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Guo Wei also emphasized meaningfully: "Brother Wang is now, but he is in charge of the Privy Council......"
Even if he can be a man and understand the will of the king, if there is no benefit, even if it is Guo Wei, how can he be so positive.
"Brother Wang has just returned to Tokyo, if it is not too late, he is willing to go to the Privy Council, and Guo will accompany him personally." Glancing at the sinking sky, Guo Wei pointed to the location of the Privy Council in the southwest of the imperial city and asked intimately.
"Brother Guo is gracious, how dare you disobey?" Wang Jun said.
Moving forward, Guo Wei walked aside, silently recalling the conversation with Wang Jun in his heart. As far as he feels, Wang Junguo has really changed a lot as rumored, or the arrogance that was suppressed in the past is no longer concealed and completely released.
Paying attention to the sharp energy on Wang Jun's side face, Guo Wei suddenly had a thought in his mind, this person entered the center, maybe it was a move by the Son of Heaven. It is almost certain that the Privy Council will not be peaceful in the future.
Thinking of this, Guo Wei felt that he understood more things.
Still, his steps are steady. After a conversation, the two basically reached a tacit understanding, at least in the matter of the whole army, the two can work together.
Liu Chengyou's side ordered someone to close the wide open doors and windows, which was much more comfortable without the invasion of the cool breeze.
Wei Renpu and Fan Zhen were left behind, and now above the court, there are only these two courtiers who can really be trusted and relied on by Liu Chengyou.
"The matter of the whole army, my actions, is it a little hasty?" Sitting together and drinking hot tea, Liu Chengyou's tone couldn't help but have some doubts.
Don't look at him as extremely strong, that's just a necessary attitude.
"Now is the right time, take advantage of the situation, if you miss this opportunity, but I don't know how long it will be delayed. Your Majesty has made up his mind to inform the civil and military forces, and Ruizhi Bento should be indomitable, and he must not hesitate to go back and forth! Fan Zhen was sharp and bluntly advised.
Wei Renpu obviously pondered it, and his expression and tone were very modest, but they also strengthened Liu Chengyou's confidence: "Your Majesty wants to rule the forbidden army, although the action is urgent, but the mentality is very slow. As long as it is thoughtful, properly prepared, effectively disposed of, and steadily implemented, it can be done calmly and completely. It is very appropriate to let Guo Shuxiang take the lead in handling this matter, and with his prestige and ability, he can suppress many voices of opposition. ”
"In addition, for the whole army, Your Majesty should surrender and announce the army, and say it with sincerity, so as not to make any mistakes or omissions in the order of the upper situation. As for the changes in the military situation, His Majesty grasped it at that time, and for the officers and men of the army, they could be safeguarded if they were properly resettled! ”
Wei Renpu is reminding Liu Chengyou.
