Not only that, Guo Wei also began to weaken the power of the generals. He learned the lessons of the previous four generations of emphasizing military affairs over literature and military generals who were good at government, advocated cultural governance, advocated Confucianism, and promoted Wenchen Li Gu, Fan Zhen, Wang Pu and others as ministers to preside over the government and basically reversed the situation in which the warriors controlled the imperial court.

After doing these things, Wang Jun looked down on Guo Wei even more. Guo Wei is so short-sighted. The country is in turmoil, and even the original territory has been divided into a Northern Han, you don't want to break the enemy and recover the lost territory, but you pay attention to the trivial matters of these mothers-in-law all day long. Guo Wei, Guo Wei, you disappointed me so much.

By now, Wang Jun began to think a little carefully. Of course, Wang Jun has never said that he has the intention of usurping, but this does not prevent Wang Jun from having the mind to contradict Guo Wei.

Wang Jun, as the first general under Guo Wei, Guo Wei's deputy, and the first person in the Later Zhou Dynasty, has to meet Guo Wei every day. The procedure for a general meeting is as follows:

Wang Jun must pay tribute to Guo Wei in accordance with tradition. Guo Wei will mix with Wang Jun at this time and say: "You and my brother, why bother with etiquette. "Of course, under normal circumstances, Wang Jun is a brother and Guo Wei is a younger brother, and Wang Jun is two years older than Guo Wei. Then Guo Wei and Wang Jun will start a variety of topics, but they are the same.

For example, on a certain day, Wang Jun said to Guo Wei, "Your Majesty, I think this Zheng Renzhi is very unreliable, Your Majesty must not be reused." "Who is this Zheng Renyu? This is Guo Wei's confidant and favorite general. He was one of the important ministers of the court. Guo Wei greeted him with a smile: "Brother Wang, I didn't reuse him?" Wang Jun said, "Your Majesty, what I said about non-reusability cannot be reused from now on." Guo Wei thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you said so, then it's okay." ”

On a certain day, Wang Jun came again and said to Guo Wei, "Your Majesty, I think this Li Chongjin is very unreliable, and Your Majesty must not be reused." "We still remember this Li Chongjin, we mentioned before that this person is a general and nephew who followed Guo Wei to fight very early, and he is also one of Guo Wei's confidants. Guo Wei also greeted him with a smile: "Brother Wang, I didn't reuse him?" Wang Jun said, "Your Majesty, what I said about non-reusability cannot be reused from now on." Guo Wei thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you said so, then it's okay." ”

On a certain day, Wang Jun came again and said to Guo Wei, "Your Majesty, I think this Xiang Xun is also very annoying, I admit that it actually makes me very annoying, Your Majesty must not be reused." Guo Wei thought for a while and said, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you say." ”

In this way, the days passed day by day, varied and the same. Wang Jun continued to reduce Guo Wei's wings and henchmen in the court, and at the same time kept attacking Chai Rong's forces.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and so on. No matter from the perspective of others or Wang Jun himself, Guo Wei is just constantly giving in, constantly agreeing to Wang Jun's various unreasonable demands.

Until one day, their conversation finally had a new innovation. Wang Jun found Guo Wei again and said, "Your Majesty, I think Wang Jun is also very annoying, so remove him from his post." Guo Wei said, "Okay, wait, you want to resign?" Wang Jun said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Wang Jun is very incompetent, let's remove him." People finally saw that Guo Wei, who had been very calm, had a different reaction, Guo Wei suddenly became very anxious, and kept carefully admonishing this Wang Jun, Guo Wei cautiously said to Wang Jun: "Are you too tired, can you take your work home and do it?" "Don't underestimate this sentence, take the work home to do this is the highest honor for courtiers in ancient times, which means that the emperor allows you to hold a small court meeting at home, and it represents the emperor's absolute trust in you. For example, Jia Yidao in the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhang Tingyu in the Qing Dynasty are all very qualified, and they also have extraordinary ability and the confidence to lean the government and the opposition, and it is impossible to do this without one. Of course, this will often have extremely serious consequences, and all the courtiers will think that you are a traitor, and set up a small court in the palace, which will not be visible in the early stage, and the general emperor will suspect you in the late period.

But even so, Wang Jun still went home. Guo Wei was left alone to sulk with himself, reflecting on what he had done wrong. But since Wang Jun picked his son, all the festival envoys from all over the country began to come to the table in the later Zhou Dynasty to persuade Guo Wei to keep Wang Jun. For a time, the momentum was turbulent and the army's morale was unstable, which was the real shaking of the country's foundation.

Guo Wei had no choice but to send someone to send a message to Wang Jun, Wang Jun, if you don't come out again, I will have to go to your house and ask you to come out in person?

Wang Jun's answer was also quite sincere, and he replied: "Emperor, don't come here." If you take a step out of the palace for me, I will wipe my neck and kill myself. In the end, Guo Wei had no choice but to invite a personal friend of Wang Jun, named Chen Tong. Between Guo Wei and Wang Jun. Finally one day, Chen Tong came back and said to Guo Wei: "Wang Jun said, it is not impossible to let him out of the mountain, as long as you say that you will go to Wang Jun's mansion in person immediately, he has a step down, and there is no way to shirk." Do you think it's okay? ”

Guo Wei was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, let's go." So be it. Guo Wei agreed. Everything was done according to Wang Jun's words, and Wang Jun reluctantly became the first person in the court and returned to work. It was only now that Guo Wei understood that the reason why there were so many knots asking Wang Jun to return to work was because Wang Jun wrote a secret letter requesting it. has to pull and hit, and threaten Guo Wei, and threaten the people under him. Wang Jun played everyone around, which made him extremely confident in himself, and he also felt that Guo Wei was cowardly. But Wang Jun invisibly dug a big hole for himself, just waiting for him to jump in.

As for how Wang Jun will die, and how Guo Wei will respond to Wang Jun, we will talk about it next time.
