Guo Shao said that it was a misunderstanding, and invited Wang Pu to the teahouse outside Xihua Gate to drink tea and eat snacks. Unexpectedly, Wang Pu was very appreciative, and sent someone to send his son Wang Yizheng home first, and then he had morning tea with Guo Shao.

Outside the Xihua Gate, the Jinshui River is in the north. There are many wine shops, teahouses and restaurants on the south bank of the Jinshui River, which can earn the money of people who eat imperial grain; Just because there are many official offices inside and outside Xihua Gate. There are a lot of public families working and doing activities here, so there are people wearing official uniforms and armor, which is really normal, and many shopkeepers have seen prime minister-level officials.

Wang Pu and Guo Shao found a quiet place inside and a place facing the street outside. Wang Pu may know that Guo Shao is a military general, so he naturally doesn't talk about elegant topics such as poetry and songs, and if he wants to talk about it, he can only say "Xiao Ya Xiao Erlang" at this level, just talk about it.

Guo Shao took the initiative to speak: "The last time the general listened to the general's words, when the class master of the Battle of Jinyang returned to the dynasty, the official family was rewarded for meritorious deeds, thanks to the recommendation of the prince, the last general was able to be promoted to the inner hall and the capital of Yu Hou. I always wanted to come to thank you, but I was afraid of being abrupt. The last general is grateful, please bow down. ”

Wang Pu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the market is not a place to bow down." I recommend merit for the officials, but it is just a matter of duty, and I don't need to thank you...... What's more, my recommendation is just icing on the cake, and I dare not take credit; The queen also appreciated Guo Lang's loyalty and bravery. ”

Today, Wang Pu gave face like this, and the dignified prime minister was easily asked out by a middle-level general, and I am afraid that Guo Shao also felt that Guo Shao had a relationship with the queen Fu's family.

Guo Shao said truthfully: "The last general worked as a soldier in the Weiwang Mansion when he was young. ”

Wang Pu saw that he didn't want to say, so of course he didn't ask. But it seems that Wang Pu doesn't believe Guo Shao's explanation at all, there are too many soldiers in the Fu family's mansion, can everyone who has worked hard in the Fu family be promoted by the queen herself?

At this moment, Wang Pu said: "Guo Lang wants to change the military position of the guard division, and then go west with Xiang Xun, you should have heard of it?" ”

"Yes, I've heard the news." Guo Shao said, "It's just that I suddenly managed so many soldiers, and I had no experience before, so I was still a little unsure." ”

Wang Pu said: "What's so difficult about this? The military power is in your hands, except that you can't transfer troops and horses in Tokyo without authorization, and you don't have the final say in other things in the army. The power of reward and punishment is in the hands of others, and those generals can dare to disobey their orders and displease you? ”

"What the prince said is very true." Guo Shao groaned. He heard that Wang Pu was willing to talk about it, but before he could say anything useful, he wanted to continue to agitate.

He thought in his heart: Obviously, the queen has the intention to promote, and the people promised to marry the second sister Fu, how could it be a joke? But after all, the queen is a person from the harem, not only can she not be supported by herself, but it is not good for the people in the inner palace to be too frequent and conspicuous, and it is inconvenient for the queen to be behind the scenes.

In such a situation, how could Guo Shao count on the queen for everything? He counted on the fact that it would be very rare for the queen to carry her at a critical time...... What to do is up to you. Right now, he is trying to find his own way and make up his mind on Wang Pu.

Guo Shao groaned: "Having said that, after all, I am young and unqualified, and if the soldiers are not satisfied, it is not a way to use torture to severely punish and suppress them." ”

Wang Pu nodded, paused for a while, and then said softly: "The day after tomorrow, Shi Yanchao will inspect the city defense of the outer city in the south. After he said that, he got up and said, "It is the time to go up, and it is inconvenient for me to delay for a long time, so I will return to the yamen." We'll talk about that another day. ”

Just now, the two of them were chatting here unhurriedly, and suddenly Wang Pu was in a hurry, as if he was using body language to say: That's all he says, so he can do it himself.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "I'll send it to the prince." ”

Shi Yanchao...... In Wang Pu's words today, the most important person is Shi Yanchao. When it comes to this guy, Guo Shao's first thought is that he didn't ask about the indiscriminate cutting of the rebels and innocent plundered women; Then there is the scene of "straw boats borrowing arrows" that are generally full of arrows. Although Guo Shao also figured out that Shi Yanchao's approach was normal in this era, he still resisted his attitude of completely contemptuous of human life. Anyway, Guo Shao doesn't have much affection for Shi Yanchao in private.

Of course, this does not affect the business, Guo Shao has come to this point, if he comes completely according to his personal preferences, how can he still do his best to succeed?

Shi Yanchao didn't die in Xinkou! If he died, how could Wang Pu say that he was going to inspect the city defenses?

This guy was the commander of the strikers during the Battle of Jinyang, and Guo Shao knew it at that time; What position did the class teacher do after returning to the court? Wang Pu must know...... But he didn't say it. Wang Pu is a person who talks nonsense endlessly, and when it comes to key places, he spares words like gold, Nima! If he had made his words clearer and more detailed, he would not have to bother meditating in the barracks now.

At this moment, Wang Xianqi came into the house and asked, "Then the future is the son of Prime Minister Wang Pu?" ”

Guo Shao nodded: "Yes, yes, but he was brought home by his father to discipline him." ”

The two of them laughed for a while.

Guo Shaoxin said: Wang Xianqi may know what Shi Yanchao is doing now, so it is easy to ask him. However, Guo Shao recalled again that Wang Pu's voice was very soft when he said that, and he was about to leave after saying nothing...... Maybe it shouldn't be publicized everywhere.

At the last banquet of Xiang Xunfu, Wang Xianqi came in with Zhao Kuangyin's gang talking and laughing, and it should be Zhao Kuangyin's people; Of course, Guo Shao knew that Zhao Kuangyin was a great man of the later generation of Song Taizu, but because of this, he was subconsciously wary and cautious.

What's more, Wang Xianqi and his cadres are all generals of the front division of the palace, Guo Shao will soon leave the front division of the palace to go to the guard division, and it is always bad to ask them about irrelevant matters.

Guo Shao planned to ask Zuo You. Zuo You has always been a petty official, but he seems to know how to pay attention to some officialdom matters, and the last time he was asked to dredge Kaifeng Mansion to do the matter of Yuzhenguan, he did it very neatly.

In the past two days, Zuo You didn't know where to go, and he didn't see him; After this kid returned to Beijing, he didn't do any clerical officials, and he either helped Guo Shao with errands or was idle all day long.

Guo Shao went out of the camp and found Luo Mengzi, so that he didn't have to be on duty in the barracks, went to Zuo You's house to wait, and when he found Zuo You, he asked him to go to Guo Shao's mansion to meet.

When he was in the house, Guo Shao went straight home, and sure enough, he met Zuo You in front of the house, so he beckoned him to talk in the living room of the outer courtyard.

Zuo You said: "Shi Yanchao? What else does the lord ask Wang Xianqi, you can just come back and ask me directly! As soon as I heard that you had been promoted to the rank of Guards Division, I had already inquired about the people involved in the Guards Division. ”

Guo Shao was overjoyed, and his heart was useless for literati in troubled times, but fortunately there was Zuo You's help...... This person is unknown and unknown, and it is easy to get by, but it is true that many generals can't get one or two really useful staff. Zuo You Ganlang is not very good at wounded soldiers, I remember that people kept being treated to death by him on the way to Wuyan Town, but once he returned to Tokyo, his familiarity with officialdom was quite good, far beyond the knowledge of an ordinary official.

Zuo You said: "Shi Yanchao in the battle of Xinkou, the elite cavalry of the forward camp was cleanly damaged, and he was first reduced to the left wing of the Hujie army, and the German army was cut down; However, after returning to Tokyo, the official family recounted his gratitude for his brave and self-defeating achievements in the Battle of Gaoping and was re-promoted. Now it is the guard Sima and the infantry army are all waiting, and Zhenning is the envoy.

In addition to Shi Yanchao, I also know that the commander of the pro-army guard department is Li Chongjin. The lord must have heard of Li Chongjin, who was the nephew of Taizu (Guo Wei); Taizu is his maternal uncle......" Zuo You paused and stepped forward and whispered, "Taizu is the uncle of the official family of this dynasty, but he accepted the official family as his adopted son. Taizu and Li Chongjin are still closer, at least they are related by blood; The official family is a relative of Taizu's wife, but he occupies the position of an adopted son. When I say this, can the lord figure out what the official family thinks about Li Chongjin? ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

Zuo You said again: "However, Li Chongjin was also a military general in the front of the palace before, and during the Taizu period, he held positions such as the Inner Palace, the Small Bottom Army, the Great Inner Inspection, and the Commander of the Front Palace...... At the beginning of this year, when the official family took the throne, he changed the pro-army guard division, and I am afraid that the foundation is not deep on the side of the guard department.

The lord said that Prime Minister Wang only mentioned Shi Yanchao, I am afraid that he also thinks so. Shi Yanchao is different, he has been going around here from the Hujie Army to the Longjie Army, and then to the Guard Sima Bu Military Division, pondering and speculating, it is certain that Shi Yanchao has many acquaintances and deep roots in the Guard Division. ”

Guo Shao nodded frequently when he heard it, Zuo You is this good, and he will teach everything he has to say. Guo Shao also felt the difference between the powerful literati and the grassroots literati, and the vast difference between Wang Pu and Zuo You.

Wang Pu is the prime minister, even if he knows that Guo Shao has a relationship with the queen, so he is very face-saving, but he always has to pretend to be forced to take the shelf with his own identity, so that you don't understand it...... Zuo You is different, he is a small official and a small official, he has no background, no connections of his parents, almost no way out, and when he meets someone who appreciates him, he can still take care of what kind of discipline, and he will follow the saddle before and after the horse.

Zuo You said again: "Prime Minister Wang Cheng mentioned Shi Yanchao's stubble, he must want you to use his prestige to build a prestige foundation in the army before you go on the expedition." Although Shi Yanchao does not directly lead the Tiger Jie army, he is the best candidate, because the lord has a life-saving grace for him. ”

"A life-saving grace?" Guo Shao frowned and said, "I don't think he received much affection." General Xiang Xun can be said to have done more than me, and people have lost most of their money in order to save Shi Yanchao's most elite old book, what is Shi Yanchao's attitude? ”

Zuo You smiled: "Lord, you are also a general, and you don't understand the sophistication of martial arts?" That Shi Yanchao is a swollen face and a fat man, and he wants to save face and suffer the crime! I think I think Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and I can't deign to be in shape, in fact, as long as I am a person, how can I not have some grievances? As long as you take the initiative to find him and give him enough face, Shi Yanchao will definitely go down the steps. ”
