The last time Guo Shao went to Guanzhong, it was about five years, and on the eve of the Battle of Qin Feng, he passed through Guanzhong to explore the terrain. At that time, the commander of the Jingyan Army was still the father of Zhe Deran, and Guo Shao did not have much impression of Zhe Deran.

I have an impression of Zhe Deliang who is standing on the side now, but now Guo Shao is too lazy to pay attention to him, and he doesn't want to retaliate, so he lets him stand...... Back then, because of his admiration for Li Yuan'er, this guy did some very bad things, but now it is good, not only offended the current emperor, but also offended Li Chuyun, the highest-level military general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Guo Shao saw his trembling appearance from the afterglow, and said in his heart: When a person seems to be desperate for a woman, just because the threat is too small, he feels that others are easy to bully. Now Zhe Deliang wants to try it desperately for Li Yuan'er?

"Smack!" Guo Shao fell into a son and said, "Zhegong, I am staying in Pizhou specifically for this western tour, do you know why?" ”

…… Zhe Deyan's face changed suddenly, and he owed: "The minister is stupid." ”

He held his breath and waited for the next step. saw Guo Shao looking at the chessboard in contemplation, as if his attention was on the chessboard.

There are several feudal towns in the northwest, and the emperor is targeting the Jingnan army, and he thinks a lot in his heart, one may be a personal grudge in the past, and the other is that the emperor doesn't trust himself?

And now the emperor actually said it to his face, is he going to turn his face!

The wind outside the window blew on Zhe Deran's face, and he almost shivered, the wind at the end of summer turned out to be so cold. In this deep house, Zhe Deyan has a sense of isolation from the world, and he seems to have been drained of all power for a while on his own territory...... I feel like I'm in a dream.

At this time, Zhe Deran was very panicked, and perhaps the expectation of being stripped of military power and moving to Tokyo as previously judged might not be fulfilled.

In an instant, it seemed like ten years. In the quiet courtyard, it was like a leisurely and calm afternoon, but at this time, countless people in Pizhou were waiting for the results.

Guo Shao raised his head and said, "At the beginning of the year, Li Yun rebelled, and he sent someone to find General Yang. ”

He paused and said slowly: "This matter is very simple, Li Yun contacted Yang Ye and did not hesitate to let his own son take risks, which shows that he has great expectations for winning over General Yang." ”

Yang Ye wanted to speak and stopped, and did not speak easily.

Guo Shao continued: "General Yang did a good job in this matter, not only did he personally come to Tokyo to report; And at the time of the report, the imperial court did not know that Li Yun would rebel at that time. General Yang's loyalty is obvious. ”

Yang Ye finally bowed and said: "Your Majesty treats the ministers kindly, how dare the ministers be ungrateful?" ”

"But ......," Guo Shao changed his words, "Since Li Yun values General Yang so much, and Zhe Gong is General Yang's father-in-law, how can he not fight for it by the way?" Has Li Yun contacted Zhegong? ”

When he heard this, his brain was "buzzing", and he made a gesture to stand up: "The minister is guilty!" The minister was negligent for a moment......"

Guo Shao stretched out his hand and gently pressed down in the air, "Sit, sit down and talk." Let's just talk, a lot of things are just said, what do you think? ”

"Yes, yes." Three vertical lines appeared between his eyebrows, and his heart was blocked in his throat, "The minister really received Li Yun's letter at that time, but he was in Hebei, and the minister was in the northwest, thousands of miles apart, so he just ignored it as nonsense and ignored it......"

"Hebei is indeed far away from Pizhou, and it is reasonable that Zhegong did not pay attention to it." Guo Shao nodded.

Zhe Deyan said: "The minister was really negligent, and I heard that Yang Ye was going to Tokyo to report, so I felt that Li Yun's matter would be made public." ”

"Then ......," Guo Shao said, "I don't have to come to Tokyo in person, is it okay to write a word?" ”

Zhe De hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." ”

At this moment, Yang Ye stood up, clenched his fists and bent over, "The minister is also guilty......

Guo Shao looked at Yang Ye with interest, one standing and the other sitting, he raised his head and asked, "What is General Yang's crime?" ”

Yang Yedao: "The minister does not know the righteousness, and he does not distinguish between loyalty and filial piety. Because the minister took care of his father-in-law, he did not report in advance that Li Yun had also contacted his father-in-law. ”

Guo Shao nodded: "General Yang is still righteous. ”

Yang Ye said: "Please punish Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao said: "Righteousness and annihilation of relatives are really integrity and loyalty, but people are not grass and trees, how can it be so easy to do people who don't recognize their six relatives?" I'm not a person who doesn't understand family affection, and I won't blame General Yang. ”

"Your Majesty Longen!" Yang Ye said movingly.

Zhede sat there in a daze, his mind almost blank for a while, feeling that his hands and feet were out of control, and he couldn't say a word. For a long time, he almost cried and said, "The minister has never had a double-hearted ......"

Guo Shao said: "Actually, this is a trivial matter, just say it, I just think that this matter is really negligent." ”

Zhede said: "I can't regret it!" ”

"Let's play chess, it's time to fold." Guo Shaodao.

Zhe Deyan's mind was a mess, and he had already forgotten all about the situation on the chessboard, and he didn't even look at it after watching this matter for a while. I was afraid that the emperor would be in a hurry, so I carefully put a grain of white seeds, and my hands were shaking slightly.

Things were completely unexpected, and he was caught off guard, and he couldn't guess the emperor's mind in advance.

originally thought that the emperor was just estranged and distrustful of the relationship in recent years because of personal grudges; Originally, I also guessed that I didn't do anything harmless, and at most I would lose my military power and go to Tokyo to enjoy the wealth...... But now?

He was waiting for his fate.

The atmosphere at the beginning was gone, and the monarch was still talking and laughing just a moment ago. Now the study is very quiet, and the sound of ceramic chess pieces falling on the board is crisp and clear.

After some tossing, the chess game of Fold De was a mess, and Guo Shao had already controlled the winning side on the chessboard. It's not that Guo Shao's chess skills are high, it's really that the mood of Zhe Deyan is too bad.

At this moment, Guo Shao spoke: "Zhegong can't serve in Pizhou. ”

Zhe Deyan said in a trembling voice: "The minister knows that he is wrong, please punish His Majesty ......"

Guo Shaodao: "Lingzhou's Shuofang Jiedu made Feng Jiye violent, did not know self-discipline, and burned, killed and looted the northwest party members all the year round. ”

Guo Shao paused and said, "Zhegong moved to Lingzhou and replaced Feng Jiye." ”

Zhe Deyan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react for a while!

"This ...... This ...... "Folded De Fen made two meaningless sounds.

Guo Shao glanced at him: "Zhegong still has some prestige in the hearts of the Northwest Ministers, especially for the party members...... When the Zhe family was in Fuzhou, they should have dealt with the party members. I think that letting you go to Lingzhou is quite good for stabilizing the border. ”

Only then did Zhi Deyan come back to his senses, and said gratefully: "Your Majesty not only does not punish you, but also entrusts you with a heavy responsibility, and the ministers can't repay the emperor's favor just in case!" ”

Guo Shao frowned and said, "Why do I want to punish the public?" ”

Fold Deran: "......"

Guo Shao said "oh": "You said that, I said it just now, it's just a trivial matter." I didn't do anything, I was a little negligent for a while, I can't ask for a crime because of a small negligence on the part of a minister, right? ”

Zhe Deyan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's heart is as broad as the East China Sea......"

Guo Shao said kindly: "You can rest assured, as long as it is harmless, nothing will happen, where will the man be careful?" I'm a little unhappy, and I forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

The relationship between our monarchs and ministers is very coarse, but it is very reliable. Rewards and punishments for merit and demerits are real, and only when a courtier does something that causes serious consequences will he be punished in a real way, and everything is subject to law. ”

Zhe Deyan and the others listened to it and bowed again.

…… After finishing the chess game, Zhi Deyan and the other three said goodbye to Guo Shao and walked out of the palace. Many people outside are paying attention to the major events in Pizhou, and Zhe Deyan naturally told everyone the results to reassure the generals.

Wei Renpu and others were also paying attention and quickly inquired about the results.

After Wei Renpu heard the news, his expression was very strange and he said, "It's really a bit of a surprise. But Your Majesty is very appropriate to deal with it in this way, huh? It should be the best thing to do, why didn't I think of it? ”

Lu Duoxun said: "Your Majesty didn't discuss it with us because of this. ”

Wei Renpu glanced at Lu Duoxun and nodded. He said in a deep voice, "It's a mess in the northwest, and it's too far away from Tokyo, and it takes time to pass the news back and forth, so it's difficult for the imperial court to intervene directly; It is not a bad thing to keep some powerful Han clan towns on the border, and it can also help the country resist the attacks of various tribes, and there is a thick depth as a mitigation zone.

It is impossible for Zhe De to rebel, he does not have so much strength, and it is not good. Moreover, the Zhejia family is quite authoritative in handling the relationship between the border departments. ”

Lu Duosun whispered: "Deputy Envoy Wei is reasonable! Xia Guan looked at Feng Jiye's actions, and he was comparable to Shi Yanchao. At this time, the imperial court did not want to conquer the towns in the northwest by force, and it was really inappropriate to leave him in the key place of Shuofang. ”

Wei Renpu paced back and forth in the lobby for a while, and inadvertently remembered his personal relationship with Guo Shao a few years ago, as well as Guo Shao's heartfelt appreciation and respect for him, and sighed a little for a while: "It is rare to have a confidant in life...... It is fortunate to have the righteousness of this monarch and minister. ”
