Early the next morning, Guo Shaogang packed up and overheard that Prime Minister Wang Pu had come to the door. It is not a trivial matter for the prime minister to visit the gate directly in the early morning. Guo Shao hurriedly walked to the gate of the mansion and ordered: "Open the gate." ”

After the door opened, he stepped out of the threshold and saw Wang Pu wearing a purple official robe and a black veil, accompanied by a group of honor guards and two civil officials in green robes, all dressed in official uniforms...... One of the officials, Guo Shao, also knew Lu Duoxun, a young official who had been ordered to go to Qin Feng in the northwest to reward soldiers.

"Prime Minister Wang Cheng came to the door in person, and he suddenly felt full of brilliance." Guo Shao bowed.

Wang Pu also replied: "General Guo, I came to deliver the decree today. ”

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "Please." ”

When the group entered the mansion gate, Wang Pu stood still in the north of the living room, and then took out a piece of paper, which was not exquisite. Wang Pu said: "The official family writes it himself, take the order." ”

Guo Shao respectfully stepped forward and took it with both hands, unfolded it and looked at it, it read: Summoning Guo Shao to the Great Inner Face Saint, let Wang Pu call it in person.

Wang Pu remained silent and said softly: "It is the official family's handwriting, General Guo can rest assured." ”

When Guo Shao heard him say this, he immediately understood. Now in a moment when the atmosphere is a little tense, Guo Shao really did not study the emperor's handwriting.

"Your Majesty's Decree." Guo Shao pretended to be calm and said, "Let me prepare and change my clothes." ”

Wang Pu said: "Okay, we are waiting for General Guo here." Wait a minute to send General Guo into the palace. ”

When Guo Shao was ready to go out, he suddenly saw Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi, Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan, Zuo You and others outside the door, and when he saw Guo Shao, he asked what was wrong. Guo Shao said: "I just received His Majesty's holy decree and entered the palace to face the saint." ”

Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi said that they wanted to go to the palace gate together, but Li Chuyun said: "No, since General Guo has something to go out and can't see guests, let's disperse." ”

Guo Shao felt that Li Chuyun was more stable, and said in his heart: If there is really something to do, what is the use of so many people going? It's just that the generals and there are no soldiers around, but they are gathered together and hunted down? It's better to stay in the barracks.

immediately took a car and left the mansion with Wang Pu and others.

The carriage curtain was blown by the wind and "crackled", just like Guo Shao's turbulent mood. Wang Pu came on horseback, but when he went back, it was not good to ride a horse and follow the carriage, so he was invited by Guo Shao to ride in the same car. The two didn't say anything all the way.

Wang Pu and Guo Shao's friendship is actually good, but it is only a good friendship.

In later dynasties, civil officials fought to the death, but in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was very low-key, because the generals were killing each other; Civilian officials are also more knowledgeable about current affairs, and they support whoever has soldiers. Wang Pu and Li Chuyun and other generals are not the same kind of people, even if Guo Shao falls, he Wang Pu is still the same official...... Maybe he doesn't want to see this kind of thing from the perspective of personal relationships, but he won't involve himself because of it.

Halfway through the journey, Wang Pucai said in a casual tone: "The front of the palace is commanded by Zhao Kuangyin to enter the palace." ”

Although Wang Pu said so casually, because there was a long silence before and after a sentence, it was very abrupt when a sentence suddenly appeared. Guo Shao hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed: "I will remember Prime Minister Wang Cheng's reminder today." ”

Wang Pu said indifferently: "Where is it, I just remembered it and said it casually." ”

The group stopped when they arrived at Donghua Gate, and Guo Shao and Wang Pu got out of the car and walked. As soon as Guo Shao got out of the car, he was stabbed by the rising sun, and the hem of his clothes was blown by the wind...... Suddenly, all he felt was dust and smoke on the street.

It was a sunny day, but the sun seemed to be pale in color, as if the sky was full of haze.

Guo Shao turned around and saw that in front of him was the majestic palace city, and the heavy eaves at the gate of the palace were simple and magnificent, tall and towering. At this time, the palace city architecture was different from the style of the Ming and Qing Forbidden City that Guo Shao had seen, and the palace city at this time was more magnificent, but the color was very simple and monotonous, not as bright as the Forbidden City, so it was more solemn and majestic. The emperors and dynasties of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms have changed relatively quickly, but the imperial power and the emperor still have a great deterrent power, and Guo Shao walked here, and his heart was also a ling.

Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are both big husbands, not people who are used to escaping, not people who can only quietly intrigue, they have the courage to face things in case of trouble! Guo Shao also had to face ...... Walking towards the palace gate is like stepping into a war without gunpowder!

In just a few years, Guo Shao has experienced many life and death tests and critical competitions, most of which are bloody battles. And today, there is no Jin Ge Iron Horse and no battlefield smoke, but he realizes that he has to go through another test.

Wang Pu took Guo Shao across a bridge and then entered a palace. When I entered, I saw that there were only three or two eunuchs in the huge hall, and it suddenly looked very empty and deserted. This situation made Guo Shao's heart tighten, why did it seem that something was wrong?

But if it's wrong, he can only carry it hard, here in the imperial city, he is alone, and if something happens, there is nothing to struggle.

Before he came in, if the emperor wanted to do anything to him, there was nothing to struggle. Without the Privy Council's order, the guards can't be mobilized, what else do you want to do? Is it a direct mutiny, under a strong lord like Chai Rong, not to mention the other troops of the Guard Division, that is, the closest Hujie Army, whether the left wing is willing to fight with him, I am afraid that most of them are unwilling...... It is one thing for Guo Shao to have influence and promote more people in the Hujie Army, but it is another thing to ask others to follow and die.

It's like a good friend who usually wears a pair of pants with you for general things, and everyone lives a good life, but you suddenly ask people to grab a fully armed cash truck, and how many people are willing? If you don't report it right away, you're a real buddy.

If the 20,000 people in the left wing of the Hujie Army don't know why they suddenly want to, but there are not so many people in the barracks, the maximum number of people that can be mobilized in various garrisons will be at most a few thousand. You have to slowly order the organization to assemble into an army...... With this effort, the rebellion has already been quelled. Moreover, the left wing of the Hujie army can't beat other forbidden armies, and the forbidden army also has the elite inner hall straight, outer hall straight, east and west class, the front of the palace Si Iron Cavalry Army, and the Crane Control Army...... The Guards Si Longjiejun, as well as the other squad troops. Directly rebelled in Tokyo and was beaten by a group in minutes, the emperor and the Privy Council gave an order, and other troops acted according to the military order and mobilized, without pressure or resistance!

Not to mention that Guo Shao wanted to mutiny in Tokyo, even Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin teamed up to directly do it in Tokyo. Things are too complicated, and both the emperor and the imperial court have a strong grasp of it...... Why did the Privy Council redeploy the city defense and garrison once every ten days?

……

Guo Shao gave up the psychology of struggle and only faced reality. He tried to calm himself down and continued to think about what Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin might do, as well as some of his thoughts on this matter.

After a while, suddenly a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall. Guo Shao turned his head to look, and saw a big man as black as Bao Qingtian walking over at the door. The sun was shining outside the door, but the light inside the hall was a little dim, and the big black man seemed to be in a ray of light at the door.

A wide, dark face with a double chin, a wide forehead, a flat chin, and a wide face that makes the eyes look smaller. Who is not Zhao Kuangyin?

Zhao Kuangyin is still covered with a white filial piety robe, and he also has a filial piety pad tied on his head! This dress is very solemn, which inexplicably makes Guo Shao very nervous...... Guo Shao couldn't help but say in his heart: Your father and brother really didn't kill you! I don't even have the intention of killing them.

"General Guo, you have also received a summons from the official family?" Zhao Kuangyin's tone was very calm, without any hatred, and he did not grit his teeth and speak ill of him. This made Guo Shao a little surprised and surprised, although he could expect Zhao Kuangyin not to act so impulsively, but such a calm tone was really unusual.

Guo Shao said: "Yes, I also received the holy decree in the morning, and I arrived first. ”

He saw that Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in filial piety, and according to common sense, he should ask two questions...... But what do you say, saying that you didn't go to the funeral, or asking Zhao Kuangyin to mourn and change? How to say how to have the feeling of a cat crying mouse. Only among some lay women in the market will they curse others in their hearts thousands of times and still smile and say kind words; Guo Shao can't do this.

So he turned a blind eye and didn't mention the funeral of the Zhao Mansion at all.

Before the emperor came, Guo Shao stood in a house with Zhao Kuangyin like this, and the atmosphere was a little dull and embarrassing.

Guo Shao is inconvenient to look left and right, but from time to time he also silently observes this temple with a casual demeanor, and he always has a feeling that Chai Rong is watching him and Zhao Kuangyin somewhere. But the temple was surrounded by walls, and only behind it was a small door, and there was no one outside.

At this moment, a white, fat and round-faced eunuch walked in, where had this person Guo Shao seen, but he didn't remember the name for a while. The eunuch took the two files, threw the dust in his hand behind his arm, and stepped forward and said: "This is the case file presided over by Wang Pu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion is mainly responsible for hearing. The official family is still changing clothes, and they will come later. ”

Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin took one by one, but neither spoke.

The eunuch said again: "By the way, the two of them finished reading each other, and then exchanged views." There is a stool here, so please sit down. ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

So Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin began to look at the file in their hands, and they could only look at it at a general point at the moment. Guo Shao felt very disadvantaged, because Zhao Kuangyin turned over very quickly, but he watched very slowly...... There is no punctuation, Guo Shao is still not particularly used to it, he can read it but his reading speed is slow.

Fortunately, the file in his hand is about Zhao San's suspected assassination of Guo Shao, and he knows the process of this case well, so he doesn't have to look at every paragraph, just look at some key places.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin patted the file. Guo Shao turned his head and said, "General Zhao, let's change." Zhao Kuangyin nodded, handed over the things in his hand, and exchanged them with Guo Shao.

The share that Guo Shao is getting now is the beginning and end of Zhao San's death. He first found Dong San's confession description. found that there was indeed a paragraph asking Dong San when he would enter the Zhao Mansion, and the answer was that Guangshun had been in the third year. Seeing this, Guo Shao suddenly felt that the record of this dossier was quite reliable.

In this process, Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin both waited silently, I am afraid that neither of them knows what the other party is thinking.
