Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mother's Rite of the World

When he first entered the big tent, Guo Shao could look at the superior from a distance, and he knew that once he approached, it was very rude to look directly at the emperor.

There was a man and a woman sitting on the upper seat, and the man must be an official, and only he could sit on the south side on such occasions. Guo Shao has good eyesight and can see clearly from a distance...... In my impression, the two emperors of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei and Chai Rong, are both Ming Jun and good emperors, but when he saw Chai Rong with his own eyes, he was slightly disappointed.

The official family did not wear a yellow dragon robe or armor, but wore a purple round-necked official robe, a lacquered gauze hat, and the two wings of the hat were very long. At first glance, it doesn't look like the emperor's dress, but like the kind of official sitting in the lobby. No wonder everyone doesn't like to be called the emperor, and often called "official", is this because of this?

Chai Rong's appearance is very old, this emperor should be in his early thirties, he looks like a person in his forties and fifties, his figure is not very stiff, his back is a little bowed, and his neck is thick. At first glance, the big eyes and facial features are also upright, but the bags under the eyes are very heavy, the spirit is not very good, and the complexion is a little empty; It may be the reason for the frequent expeditions, and the face is quite windy and frosty.

Next to him sat Queen Fu, and the two sat side by side in public, not like husband and wife, like father and daughter. Queen Fu is really beautiful, her skin is jade-carved, and she is wearing a wide and tight brocade robe, covering her figure tightly; The old-fashioned robe and white and delicate face really felt a little abrupt, like a bright jade bead in an old box. Her face is rounded, but her chin is a bit pointed...... Modern people think that this kind of chin is very delicate, but according to the ancients, a woman's pointed chin can be described as a small disadvantage.

Guo Shao took a few steps forward, didn't dare to get too close, immediately knelt down on one knee, buried his head and looked at the ground and said: "Weichen Guo Shao knocked to see the emperor and the queen, may the emperor and queen be healthy and live forever!" ”

He really didn't know if it was appropriate to say this, but it seemed that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms did not pay much attention to etiquette such as three bows and nine bows. He is a military general, the emperor is a commander, and it should be reasonable to meet with the highest military salute of kneeling on one knee, right?

"Flat." Chai Rong said a word. Then let the people around him reward Guo Shao for his meritorious service three times in public, and he was not stingy with his beautiful words, which had the will to be promoted, and the inner hall was directly Yu Hou, leading the history of the Qianzhou Assassin, and the history of the assassination was only more than a long time, and it was too far away for the generals of the forbidden army to basically not manage affairs.

Then Chai Rong ordered Guo Shao to be rewarded with a silver belt, a brocade robe, twelve gold ingots, and twelve silver ingots.

Guo Shao hurriedly thanked him.

At this time, a crisp and soft voice said: "Guo Yuhou, the official family is not thin on you, don't let down the emperor." ”

In just one sentence, Guo Shao's impression of Empress Fu immediately changed greatly. She said so decently and generously, she could say it in front of all the civil and military personnel...... But as soon as Guo Shao contacted the high-powered Zhang Yongde in place, he took care of himself inexplicably, and talked to Xun about Empress Fu's special speech for herself in front of the official family, thinking about these two things, Guo Shao could suddenly understand that her current high-sounding language is like a clichΓ© with a profound meaning.

In my memory, the former "young man" named Guo Shao liked Queen Fu so much that he was willing to die for her. Guo Shao used to think that he was a little naΓ―ve, but now he finally understands that it makes sense that the young man likes this woman so much. Not only the young man, but even all the soldiers of the Great Zhou, including Xiang Xun, respected Queen Fu...... This kind of respect may be the same as treating a sister and treating a mother, because Empress Fu can indeed make people feel sincere love.

Mother in the world, is this kind of bearing?

Guo Shao was a little nervous and a little excited, and blurted out: "Weichen is willing to be a guard of the emperor and queen, and he is always ready to repay the great favor with his life." ”

Why...... Because he thought that the inner sanctum was directly a guard of the emperor.

But at this time, in the afterglow of his sight, he vaguely felt that Queen Fu's willow eyebrows were gently raised, and Guo Shao remembered: I had indeed been a guard of the Fu family before, and not only once, I followed from the Wei Wang's Mansion to Li Shouzhen's Mansion to design to guard her.

Chai Rong nodded slightly, and some officials took out the silver belt and brocade robe, and asked Guo Shao to put on the brocade robe on the spot to show his holy grace.

Guo Shao knelt down again and thanked him, and walked backwards to the ranks of the generals and stood up.

A few more generals came to accept the reward, and then everyone dispersed. Those who received the emperor's reward were led by special officials to give things, and they sent people to carry things and escort them back to the camp.

When Guo Shao came back, all the soldiers in his family were looking forward to it at the gate of the camp, and saw Guo Shao coming back with a box of things, wearing brocade robes, all cheering and happy.

All the soldiers who participated in the war were rewarded, but there were too many people, and the low-level generals could only be rewarded with dozens of dollars, and the soldiers were even less. This kind of additional reward is also a lot of wealth for ordinary families, and it is not small.

Especially Yang Biao, who was so fierce in the battle array, rushed forward to fight him to death, and Guo Shao went to get the emperor to personally reward him with this honor. For a while, Guo Shao felt a little unfair...... Although everyone thinks it's fair, after all, it's not ordinary people who can be appreciated by high-ranking people, and it's not someone else who slashes the Northern Han generals.

Guo Shao didn't say a word when he entered the barracks, and opened the box directly, and the inside immediately glowed with yellow and white, and everyone quieted down.

"Zuo You, you divide it, divide it equally, and the generals will have double shares." Guo Shao didn't say anything nice, so he just said it.

Luo Mengzi touched his head: "Everyone has been rewarded, share the eldest brother's money, isn't it?" Money seems to be a lot, so many people don't have much big brother. ”

Guo Shao ignored Luo Mengzi, and said: "I am the inner temple and have a certain amount of power, so let's see who the commander is...... You will be my personal soldier for the time being, there is a vacancy in the inner sanctum, try to fight for you. ”

Yang Biao immediately said: "Our brothers will follow the eldest brother, but it is not good to be separated." ”

Luo Mengzi said: "There are officials...... It's not bad, it doesn't affect the brotherhood! ”

When Guo Shao heard this, the insight of the two of them was really a sentence and a judgment, Yang Biao saw far away, he must have thought that the eldest brother was more than just an inner hall.

At this moment, someone muttered: "Zuo You won't be greedy for everyone's money, so I'll have a lot of names......"

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Zuo You after hearing this, and Zuo You smiled and said nothing. Guo Shao smiled and said: "Mr. Zuo wants to follow me to do bigger things, and he can't look down on this copper-smelling thing." Zuo You suddenly cast an approving gaze, as if he wanted to treat Guo Shao as a confidant.

Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and suddenly they were very happy.

But soon Guo Shao said something that affected the joyful atmosphere: "Mr. Zuo, the seven people who died in Wuzhen and the three people who died in Xinkou must be counted as a share, and the brothers who died are also brothers." You have a list of military members, ask someone where their family is, and I'll leave this matter to you. ”

The laughter soon died down, and there was some silence, but no one objected. Yang Biao glared at the tiger and said: "With the money you sell, everyone can die!" Big brother did the right thing and thought thoughtfully! ”

Guo Shao explained the matter here, and wanted to go to see the chief of the inner temple first. He rose too fast, his foundation was indeed very shallow, his eyes were black, and he didn't know who the military generals in the inner temple were; He first found the official who gave him a reward, and inquired only to find out that Wang Xianqi, the commander of the inner temple, was the main general.

So he hurried to the pier, first asked to see Wang Xianqi, and said hello first when he took office. Because it was late at this time, I didn't dare to be long-winded, and I came out after getting to know each other face-to-face, only to say that the future is long.

…… Early the next morning, the army set out on its march and continued. After walking for a whole day, when the sun was setting, everyone entered Tokyo through the Chenqiao Gate.

Although it was late in the evening, the streets of Tokyo were still bustling with people, looking forward to their loved ones, and the scene was as lively as when they set out on the expedition. However, I am afraid that this day is a few happy and a few sad, and people will die in battle, and after the families of the fallen soldiers confirm the news, I am afraid it will not be so good...... There are no bones left in the family.

The horse leather shroud on the battlefield is not just talking, fighting thousands of miles away, and the corpse is dug a pit and buried. If you are defeated and have no time to collect the corpse, it is normal to expose the corpse to the wilderness for many days.
