Guo Song walked out of the imperial study, he seemed to be still in a dream, he was released as an official for a few years, and then went back to his old job, in history, this Emperor Daizong liked to go off the rails with swords, liked to use assassins, and liked to surprise soldiers to win, and the same is true in reality.

But he worked in Fengzhou for two years, and he gave up so suddenly, and he was really reluctant in his heart.

There are so many people who follow him, and he also needs to settle them one by one, Guo Song walked quickly towards the East Palace.

Guo Song entered the East Palace from the Xuande Gate, and in the square of the Qinzheng Palace, he met Xue Xun again, Xue Xun stepped forward and asked eagerly: "I just heard a rumor that you had a conflict with Chang Xiangguo during your debriefing, and you were still in front of the crown prince and the Son of Heaven, is there such a thing?" ”

Guo Song didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and it was only half an hour, and it spread throughout the entire imperial court.

He nodded, "There is indeed such a thing, Chang Gon used the excuse of reporting on his work to impose the crime on my head, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I fought back against him, and there was indeed a fierce verbal conflict." ”

Xue Xun sighed deeply, "Virtuous nephew is doing this is the way to cause trouble!" The court has its rules, the upper and lower levels are inferior and the hierarchy is strict, you criticize Xiangguo in front of the Son of Heaven, this is destroying the order of the court, even if you are reasonable, you will not be tolerated, virtuous nephew, you are still too young! ”

Guo Song was silent for a moment and said: "Just now the Son of Heaven called me and reprimanded me severely, he gave me two choices, either demoted to a county lieutenant and start from scratch, or resign and leave the officialdom, I chose the latter." ”

Xue Xun was stunned for a moment, silent in his heart, this result is not surprising, of course it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to punish Xiangguo, otherwise the imperial court should be chaotic, Guo Song was able to retreat, it was already a blessing in misfortune. ”

"It's good! Stay in the officialdom, Chang Xiangguo doesn't know how to retaliate against you, it's better to leave, no matter what, I will be on your side. ”

Guo Song was moved in his heart, what does it mean to see the truth in adversity, this is it, although Xue Xun is not as smooth as ordinary officialdom, he has always maintained his true temperament, such an official is too rare, and it is difficult to survive in officialdom.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, I'm going to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now!"

Xue Xun patted him on the arm, "Go!" ”

Guo Song hugged his fists and saluted, and hurriedly walked towards the Qinzheng Palace.

Xue Xun looked at his back as he gradually moved away, and sighed very much in his heart, a promising young man was ruined by the power minister, but this child's personality is really like himself, upright and unyielding, and dares to call out to the powerful, such a character is really rare........

Guo Song was led into the prince's study, Li Shi looked at him for a long time, shook his head and said: "I thought you had a tacit understanding with your father, so today's incident happened, it seems that I thought too much." ”

Guo Song bowed slightly, "Let Your Highness disappoint!" ”

"This is the second time I've seen you fight against the power of the dynasty, the first time was when I saw you fight back against Yuan Zai in the Zhao Mansion, and the second time was today, you scolded Chang Gon to the point of blood, this is your character, to be honest, I personally appreciate it, but as a prince, I will never encourage such behavior, since you have met your father, then you should know what is next."

Guo Song nodded, "I have already submitted my resignation, and the Son of Heaven has agreed, so I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give me the task." ”

Li Shi smiled slightly, he got up and walked to the wall, brushed the floor and opened the curtain, revealing a huge map on the wall.

This is a map of the Central Plains and Hebei, north to Liaodong, south to Jianghuai, Li Shi took down a long wooden pole, pointed to the middle piece and said: "The Central Plains area is densely populated, prosperous in commerce, and has a huge grain production, which has always made the surrounding feudal towns eyeing the tiger, Tian Chengsi in the north, Li Zhengji in the east, and Li Zhongchen in the south all want to get involved."

But before has been controlled by Tian Shengong, Tian Shengong was loyal to the imperial court, served as the envoy of the Biansong Festival, but there was no heart of separation, after the death of Tian Shengong, his brother Tian Shenyu had the heart of self-reliance, and later was killed by you, when Yuan Zai was in power, Li Lingyao served as the envoy of the Biansong Festival, and later Li Lingyao was transferred to Puzhou, and Li Mian took over, you all know this, and I won't say much.

Seven days ago, Li Lingyao rebelled and defeated Li Mian with the support of Tian Chenghe, and now Li Lingyao has occupied the eight states of the Biansong Dynasty, proclaimed himself the king of Chenliu County, and asked the imperial court to make him the envoy of the Biansong Festival and recognize him as a feudal town. ”

"How does the Imperial Court plan to deal with the situation?" Guo Song asked.

"My father's attitude and that the emperor and I are very clear, we will never give Li Lingyao any chance, we must exterminate him!"

"I can understand His Highness's attitude, but I want to know, what is the ultimate purpose of the imperial court? What do I need to do? ”

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!"

Li Shi pointed the wooden pole to the north bank of the Yellow River and said: "In the past two years, Tian Chengsi has built dozens of big ships, just to transport troops across the Yellow River, as far as we know, among the tens of thousands of troops in Li Lingyao's hands, half of them are Tian Chengsi's Wei Bojun, obviously, Li Lingyao is Tian Chengsi's puppet, and what we are dealing with is not Li Lingyao's rebellion, but Tian Chengsi's forces invading the Central Plains." ”

"And Li Zhengji!"

Li Shimu pointed to the east again, "Li Zhengji has been looking for an opportunity to enter the Central Plains, this time Li Lingyao rebelled, no matter what the attitude of the imperial court, Li Zhengji's army will enter the Central Plains, as well as Huaixi Li Zhongchen, his army has appeared in Sizhou, this is a warlord melee for the Central Plains, but the Central Plains is very important to us, related to the safety of Caoyun, now the Tang Dynasty's finances are basically dependent on Jiangnan and Jianghuai's Caoyun, Caoyun is broken, the foundation of Datang will be shaken, it can be said that this is a struggle related to the rise and fall of Datang."

To this end, my father formulated three implementation plans, one is to command 100,000 troops by me, stationed on the front line of Hugao Pass, ready to attack at any time, the second plan is to make Ma Sui and Li Mian, who are loyal to the imperial court, lead an army of 20,000 to attack Li Lingyao, and the third plan is to send a secret army deep into the Biansong Dynasty and wait for the opportunity to move, and this army will be commanded by you. ”

"That Wechen's mission ......"

"You have two tasks, one is to kill Li Lingyao, this is a hard task, and the second is to cooperate with the main army of the imperial court to ensure that the luck is not lost, this task is more flexible, and many things are decided by yourself."

Guo Song nodded, "I don't know how many people are in the lowly army?" ”

Li Shi raised a finger, "A thousand elite troops, this army is currently being mobilized, you have three days to prepare, and you will take over this special army in three days." ”

.........

In the afternoon, Li Yu, the Son of Heaven, issued three decrees, removing Li Huaiguang from the post of Shuofang Jiedu envoy and reassigning him to the general of the Right Xiaowei, and Shuofang Jiedu envoy was succeeded by Shi Li Hui, the governor of Shuofang Jiedu.......

The second decree was to accept the resignation of Guo Song, the envoy of the Three Towns and the assassin of Fengzhou, and to allow him to resign from all positions, but to retain his title.

The third decree was to remove Chen Lun from his post as the superintendent of the imperial history, and to require Xiangguo Changgon to strictly restrain his family, and at the same time to fine Xiangguo Changgon for one year and order him to reflect.

These three wills made the government and the opposition talk a lot, Li Huaiguang was appointed as a general in everyone's expectation, Shuo Fang's army was defeated in Jinshan, as a festival envoy, he could not be without responsibility.

Everyone is mainly interested in the second and third wills, everyone knows that Guo Song criticized Chang Gon in the morning during his work report, and angered the Son of Heaven, obviously Guo Song criticized Chang Gon several things are not fabricated out of thin air, but out of facts, Chen Lun's dismissal and Chang Gon's punishment is the best proof.

And Guo Song's forced resignation is also expected by everyone, Guo Song criticized Xiangguo for seriously undermining the order of the court, and he is suspected of committing the following crimes, the Son of Heaven will definitely not tolerate him, forcing him to resign is already an open side, and it is estimated that his credit is also taken into account.

Interestingly, this is the second time that Guo Song has been forced to resign for the same crime, is it possible for him to make a comeback?

.........

In the Tianxing Pavilion Restaurant in Dongshi, Zhang Lei smacked his wine glass, and said with resentment on his face: "This is too much, it is obvious that Chang Gon is suppressing you and framing you out of nothing, and in the end you were forced to resign, but he is safe and sound." ”

Guo Song picked up his glass and said: "Where is he safe and sound, he was fined for one year, and ordered to reflect, only the Son of Heaven will make such a will if he is extremely dissatisfied, what does this mean for a Xiangguo, his position as a Xiangguo is already unstable." ”

"It's none of my business if he dies, I just held grievances for you and made such a big contribution, but in the end I was forced to resign, and my good future was ruined."

Guo Song poured his wine glass and smiled: "I don't care about it myself, what are you anxious about?" ”

"It's good! Just resigned from the official position, you have solved your personal life in advance, it is best to ask Guo Lao Linggong to be a matchmaker for you in a few days, and try to marry Xue Xiaoniang within two months. ”

Guo Song shook his head, "I'm afraid I'll have to go out for a few months, and I'll talk about these things when I come back." ”

Zhang Lei was stunned, "Haven't you already resigned?" Where else are you going? ”

Guo Song groaned and said, "My aunt asked me to help her do something, this matter is more important, and I agreed." ”

Zhang Lei looked at Guo Song for a long time, and had to sigh, "Forget it, I don't understand your affairs, and I don't want to ask more, but I want to remind you that you'd better make it clear to Little Lady Xue, don't make people sad." ”

Guo Song nodded, "Please ask Senior Sister for a favor and ask her out for me tomorrow morning." ”
