After Lu Duoxun accompanied him to Xiazhou, a large group of people from the Wuzang clan came to pick up the corpse, and they wept together. When those people saw the people in Han'er clothes, they were full of hostility and indignation, and Lu Duosun could only live in seclusion and try not to show up on the streets of Xiazhou.

Near the hotel, you can occasionally see Khitan people entering and leaving the palace.

After waiting for nearly a month, Lu Duosun was received by Li Yiyin, the leader of the party.

The meeting place was in a dining room, and Lu Duosun could hear the sound of ......the wooden fish next door, and the peace and tranquility at this time was in great contrast with the martial style of the party members and all the soldiers.

Lu Duoxun bowed his hand and bowed deeply to Li Yiyin: "Meet the ...... King of Xiping"

Without waiting for Lu Duoxun to finish speaking, Li Yiyin pointed to the futon opposite and said, "Lu Envoy Jun sat down and spoke." He was not in a hurry, mainly because of some differences in etiquette, the northern ethnic groups bowed and did not speak, and only the Han people in the Central Plains would say some clichés.

"Thank you, King Xiping." Lu Duoxun calmly sat opposite Li Yiyin and flicked the sleeves of his robe. Lu Duosun came from a humble background, and not long ago he was only a petty official, how could he be qualified to be on an equal footing with the leader of the secession side? But now he's adapting very quickly.

Li Yiyin pulled his face and said: "We are all naked, this king even sent his favorite daughter to Lingzhou, and the Wuzang clan is the envoy of the relatives, and he went happily, why does the court treat us like this?" ”

His speech was not good, and he had an inquiring tone.

Lu Duosun said quietly: "The court is also sincere. ”

"Hmph." Li Yiyin sneered.

Lu Duoxun sat upright, and said with a red face: "What is the identity of this official, King Xiping should know." He glanced at Li Yiyin, and said, "You can inquire, the cabinet assistant is the candidate for the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are only a few people in total, if they are not close ministers trusted by the Son of Heaven, they cannot enter the cabinet......

Before this official came to Lingzhou, my colleagues and friends all admonished me, feeling that my life was in danger on this trip. But the officials still sent me, not just one person to deal with it. ”

Sure enough, Li Yiyin's tone eased slightly: "But the imperial court still killed the envoy who sent his relatives." ”

"The leader of the Muzang clan was not killed, but he was angry and had an accident, and the official family was also very sad; The facts are there, Xiping Wang Mingjian. Lu Duosun explained kindly, "And the official family killing Brother Yu is also a good thing for King Xiping!" ”

Li Yiyin frowned and said, "A good thing? ”

Lu Duoxun said seriously: "Concubine Li Xian is dignified and beautiful, and the official family is very favored, so she will kill her brother who abducted her." ”

Lu Duoxun looked at Li Yiyin with a serious face, and Li Yiyin muttered: "The official family should be for the sake of the royal family......

"That's right! General Lee was not wrong in saying this. Lu Duosun patted his thigh and said, "But let's think about it briefly...... A woman with a big husband is targeted by others, is she annoyed and ashamed, or is she calm? If you only see a woman as an unimportant person as a concubine, will you be angry? ”

The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

Lu Duoxun said in a deep voice: "The official family is very attentive to Lord Li, and what he killed from beginning to end was only a junior of the Wuzang clan. Does General Li really want to take the whole clan into danger and abandon the righteousness of the monarch and ministers for the sake of a future life without a collector? Does General Lee think it's worth it? ”

This sentence made Li Yiyin fall into deep thought for a long time.

Lu Duoxun glanced at him and said earnestly: "The Central Plains Imperial Court is loyal and benevolent, and has always been very benevolent to all ethnic groups, and now it is even more benevolent to govern the country; The Khitans are steppe barbarians, believing in the weak and the strong. General Li is also a person who believes in Buddhism and is good, with whom can he rely on it? General Lee must have judged in his heart.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the party has been a minister of the imperial dynasty, and each dynasty has always been courteous, and there is no old grudge; Da Zhou is very kind to the party members. We never wanted to deal with you, the strong enemy we want to deal with is Liao!

The Khitans have been threatening the Central Plains since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and they have been plundering all over the country for many years, making the people miserable. General Li must not be bewitched by the Khitans, driven by them in vain, and become a pawn of the enemy! ”

After Li Yi Yin was for a long time, he asked in a low voice, "How can I repair the relationship?" ”

Lu Duoxun said: "The royal family and the Li family are already relatives, why do they need to repair it?" As long as the two families of the monarch and the minister have a lot of exchanges, General Li sent people to Tokyo to set up a post house for the difficult army, which is convenient for the exchange of courtesies, and it will definitely be passed on as a good story in history...... However, in the next admonition, General Li still has a chance to make meritorious contributions and get closer to the imperial court. Last time, the Hexi Ye Ci clan killed the people of the imperial court and robbed the tribute, if General Li pressured them to hand over the criminals......"

Li Yiyin said: "The Yeci tribe is in the west of the Yellow River, although we have dealings, but this king can't control them." ”

Lu Duosun smiled: "General Li said this kind of thing, you are the king of Pingxi canonized by the imperial court, and your prestige is the highest, and all party tribes must not rely on your snort?" A little thing, the Ye Ci clan will definitely obey General Li's wishes. ”

Lu Duoxun said in a deep voice: "The leader of the Yeci clan can find someone who wants to kill and send him to Lingzhou to take the blame, who will really investigate the culprit?" ”

"That's fine...... Li Yiyin muttered.

Lu Duosun said: "This official also wants to find out the culprit, but it was my people who killed at that time, and even my life was almost lost." However, we don't have to focus on the overall situation, and if we really want the Ye Ci clan to send important people to kill us, it is also difficult for a strong man......"

Li Yiyin nodded and said, "It's just like this, this king has nothing to say." ”

After the two had finished speaking, Lu Duosun got up to take his leave, and walked out of the palace calmly, his expression very calm. But as soon as I entered the museum, I couldn't wait to find an entourage.

Lu Duoxun's face was flushed, he was in a panic and polished the ink, wrote a chapter about Xiazhou, and sent someone to return to Lingzhou to report the good news first, and asked for credit.

…… In the lobby of Lingzhou, the military generals congratulated.

Yang Ye said: "At first, Your Majesty suddenly shot Brother Wuzang, and the minister was still a little worried, it turned out that Your Majesty had a foresight!" ”

Wei Renpu said calmly: "It was not Li Yiyin's son who was killed, and Li Yiyin couldn't rebel against the imperial court for the sake of the Wuzang clan." He rebelled against the imperial court at this time, and there was no benefit, and Li Yiyin was not stupid. ”

Yang Ye nodded and said: "Brother Yu's crime was originally a capital crime, and if he didn't kill him, he would lose the prestige of the imperial court; Killing it is not to the point of affecting major events. Damn it! Damn it! ”

People gossiped: "Li Yiyin is just a festival envoy, and he should have relied on the favor of the imperial court." Brother Yu committed the crime first, and he was sentenced to death|The name of the sentence is right, and the righteousness is bright, how can you maintain the royal law if you don't kill? The leader who didn't hide himself was angry, could it still be counted as the head of the court, he didn't discipline his son strictly, let him do whatever he wanted, and he didn't teach! ”

"Yes, yes, the imperial court is standing on the principle of righteousness, and Li Yiyin will never rebel because of this kind of thing. If he wants to rebel, he will find an excuse to rebel no matter what; If you don't rebel, you won't rebel just because you don't have a hidden leader. ”

"Although the imperial court is reluctant to use troops against the party members, we want to win them over, but why doesn't the Li family want to use the status recognized by the imperial court to improve their prestige? If they don't seek the tolerance and favor of the imperial court, what benefits can they get in the event of a war? ”

Shi Yanchao looked at the person opposite and sneered: "It's really interesting to see you guys in hindsight, Lao Tzu remembers that Brother Yu made a mistake, and you all said one by one, ouch, you can't kill it, how to kill it, haha!" ”

Yang Ye and the others were very embarrassed, but Wei Renpu just didn't hear it.

Everyone said the truth, praised Guo Shao, and called Guo Shao's actions just right.

Guo Shao sat there, noncommittal, he didn't say a word, but he gave people a confident momentum and everything was under control.

In fact, Guo Shao was also very surprised at this time, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking back, Li Yiyin really can't completely tear his face because of such a contradiction, but before the matter comes to an end, who can tell?

stabilized Li Yiyin, and Guo Shao's goal of the western tour had little resistance.

Only then did he speak: "Lu Duoxun went deep into Xia Prefecture twice, and he has made a great contribution. ”

There was no objection to this.

At this moment, a civil official walked in and arched his hand: "Report to Your Majesty, the ministers have just received an urgent report from Tokyo." ”

"Bring it up." Guo Shaodao.

Wang Zhong, who was standing on the side, walked down, took the letter from the civil official, and sent it to Guo Shao. Guo Shao took a look, immediately raised his head and said calmly: "Cao Bin captured Shaozhou. ”

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and they were happy to congratulate. Guo Shao read it again, handed the report to Wang Zhong, raised his head slightly, and motioned for him to let the ministers pass on it.

Guo Shao felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but just as he didn't want to show it when he missed, he didn't show ecstasy when he was ecstatic. The ancients paid attention to joy and deeds, Guo Shao couldn't do it, but try not to exaggerate too much in public, so that it looks more calm and calm, as if everything is under control!

The damage of Lingnan miasma has been contained, and Cao Bin fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Southern Han army reinforcements under the city of Shaozhou, won a complete victory, and immediately broke through Shaozhou!

Wei Renpu said loudly: "Shaozhou is between the corridors, and there is a waterway to pass through the palace, the Southern Han army has no danger to defend, and the Great Zhou army takes the Southern Han as if it were in the bag!" Your Majesty will unify the rivers and mountains, create a prosperous industry, and the great cause is not far away! ”

The princes echoed and sang praises of virtue.

Guo Shao said in public: "I didn't look at the wrong person, Cao Bin didn't disappoint me. ”

All the ministers bowed together and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Guo Shao was excited at this time, and couldn't help but stand up from his seat, paced to the window with his hands behind his back, holding his head high and calmly, looking hesitant and satisfied.

The sun was shining outside the lobby, and the weather was very sunny today. Guo Shao looked up and saw white clouds floating in the blue sky, and a few birds of unknown breed soaring in the air, only to see the shadows of their wings fanning under the vast canopy.

Although all the preparations for hard work were bumpy, but after all, it was quite smooth, Guo Shao faintly felt that he was getting closer and closer to something, and he was cautiously approaching.
