Zhao Kuangyin and the others came out of the cave door, and suddenly ......a dog barked violently. Zhao Pu was startled without paying attention, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a big black dog that was very fierce, and he was about to pounce, but he could only bark there with a chain on his neck. Zhao Pu suddenly scolded: "This dog doesn't see me, and he doesn't know me yet." ”

"Shut up!" Kuang Yin yelled at the dog.

The black dog immediately stopped barking and wagged its tail.

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "I suddenly remembered that person, just like a dog, with the owner watching, he was obedient and understood; The master can't move, hehehe......"

Kuang Yin muttered: "The force is still very high, and the soldiers used in the war are good." ”

Zhao Pu persuaded with good words: "In fact, if a person goes up shirtless, he may not be able to fight a dog." But no one can say that people are not as good as dogs! ”

"That's just as well." Kuang Yin nodded.

Zhao Pu looked left and right, stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, you said, when that day comes, will he hurry up to recognize the lord and wag his tail in front of you and beg for mercy?" By the way, I heard that his woman is beautiful and fragrant......"

"What do you want to do now?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a straight face, "It's too early." ”

But Zhao Kuangyin immediately remembered the beauty Yang who was thrown out of his hand, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really like a dog!" ”

……

In the Privy Council, Wei Renpu was scratching his back with a stick of wood, and he hadn't taken a bath for many days, but fortunately the weather was cold these days, otherwise it would be even more inconvenient. He has always lived in the Privy Council, and sleeping and eating are naturally not a problem, or it is not very convenient to bathe; I have to get some hot water tonight to wipe it, and I feel very uncomfortable.

By this time, Wang Pu had returned to the Privy Council. Wei Renpu took out the things on his back and put them down, shrugged his shoulders and rubbed his clothes again, and saw that Wang Pu had already walked into the study, so he clasped his fists and saluted: "Wang Zhijun is back, how is it?" ”

Wang Pu casually arched his hand, walked over, and said, "The official family has already nodded." I met the official, who was very weak and couldn't speak, but he wasn't confused. ”

Wei Renpu sighed and couldn't help but say, "Now that we order the defense, there won't be chaos, right?" Or rather, is it necessary? ”

Wang Pu said: "If it's not necessary, at this time, why do I have to go to the official's sickbed to talk about military affairs?" ”

Wei Renpu listened to his tone very decisively, and was speechless for a while.

Wang Pu looked cold, and said bluntly: "The deployment of the army when the division just returned to the dynasty was very negligent in haste! ”

Wei Renpu also did not argue with him, because he was a privy envoy at that time, and the deployment plan was mainly made by him, and it would definitely be approved by him in the end. Now that Wang Pu completely denies that he doesn't give face at all, and his tone is so straightforward, he is indeed a little unhappy in his heart, but he doesn't care too much, Wang Pu is the one who doesn't give face in the things he identifies...... The temperament is like that, what is the use of everyone working together?

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "The two armies of the left wing of the Hujie army control the two south gates of the inner city at the same time, and the rest of the left wing is all in the south of the outer city; All the armies of the palace division are in the north city. With such a defense, once someone makes a desperate move, they can't stop it in a short period of time, and they will directly enter the imperial city! ”

"Who would suddenly start an army at such a time?" Wei Renpu groaned.

Wang Pu said bluntly: "Zhao Kuangyin, Guo Shao! ”

"Isn't Guo Shao leaving Beijing to find Dan?" Wei Renpu said.

Wang Pu said coldly: "Wei Yuanjun thinks he will leave Beijing?" He must be planning how to mutiny and rush into the palace now, and there are people waiting for him in the palace! ”

"This ...... This ......," Wei Renpu said, "Wang Zhijun won't say it to scare me, right?" Guo Shao dares to raise troops on his own? The official family has just fallen ill, no one can sit big, the forces of all parties are complicated, Guo Shao only has the left wing, and he has no advantage, he is crazy? Does the king have credentials? ”

"I guess." Wang Pudao.

Wei Renpu was stunned.

Wang Pu said: "Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin must be secretly happy now, thinking that the people in our Privy Council are fools, and the city defense is deployed like this, specially giving them a chance...... At least there is a crane control army in the north of the city, especially Guo Shaobu in the south of the city, which is really very flawed; If Guo Shao is really going to do it at that time, he will have to thank Wei Yuanjun for helping him a lot. ”

Wei Renpu glared and said, "Wang Envoy Jun can't say that!" Where have you put me like this? He thought for a while and asked, "Why did Guo Shao mutiny?" ”

Wang Pu said: "Because he believes that Zhao Kuangyin will definitely mutiny."

The old man has long said that Zhao and Guo cannot maintain a balance at all, and they will have to risk their lives and fight desperately at the slightest disturbance, and this so-called check and balance will exacerbate the conflict and be detrimental to the stability of the country. Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao have been fighting many times since the Northern Expedition, and the old man doesn't believe it, and Deputy Envoy Wei can't see it. At that time, the official family could still shake the scene, they didn't dare to go too far, so they had to be quiet, but now they have been flirting for a few months, and they have long been holding back a bad breath!

As soon as the queen took power, Zhao Kuangyin knew that the situation was not good; Guo Shao pondered the other party all day long, can he figure it out? Now that he learned that the queen was trapped in the Jinxiang Palace, Guo Shao's big backer was threatened, and he was not in a hurry to run to the death, but he wanted to go out of Beijing to find Dan...... Fooling the old man? ”

Wei Renpu frowned and said: "I still think Guo Shao is a little weaker, besides, after all, he is a martial artist, this situation is too complicated and very dangerous, if you really want to do that, you not only need careful and complex deployment and planning, but also very human courage!" ”

"The old man didn't expect Vice Envoy Wei to be confused." Wang Pu said coldly.

He immediately opened a cabinet, took the key to open a drawer, and took out a thick stack of files from it and put it on the table, "If Deputy Envoy Wei still doesn't believe it, take a closer look at Guo Shao's actions in every battle, is this what a martial artist who relies on courage alone?" Of course, the old man didn't believe it at first, this person was born as a wandering orphan, and later he has been a pawn, and he doesn't even know who to learn to write. In other words, no one believes that he can have much knowledge, but the truth is in this dossier, and I have to believe it. ”

Wang Pu said: "When the urgency has passed, Deputy Envoy Wei can completely ponder Guo Shao's previous battles, which is really interesting." I took a lot of effort to find out the small battle of Wuzhen recently, and this matter was put together with the famous Huainan general Chai Kehong, and then watched the battle of Zhuozhou in the Northern Expedition...... There are three things you'll find very interesting. ”

Wei Renpu flipped through it a few times, and suddenly a piece of paper fell out, with a long and short sentence written on it. Originally, Wei Renpu was not interested in looking at this thing at this time, but after only a glance, he couldn't help but read it:

The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!

"Who wrote this?" Wei Renpu immediately asked.

Wang Pu said: "Guo Shao." ”

Wei Renpu and Wang Pu looked at each other and fell into a long silence for a while. The vast years, the waves of the rivers and mountains, the glorious civilization, countless spectacular scenes suddenly rushed to the eyes.

Outside the antique and elegant wooden window, the dripping rain is like countless tears.

"Actually......" After a long time, Wei Renpu's face turned pale and he mustered up the courage to look at Wang Pu, "Wang Yuanjun, have you ever thought that if the official family doesn't get better for a while, someone in the country will have to preside over major affairs." In loyalty, in the overall situation, there must be a place to go. ”

Wang Pu turned around, looked out the window, turned his back to Wei Renpu and said lightly: "The official family has the grace of knowing the minister, and the old man is only loyal to the official family, so he can't think too far." ”

Wei Renpu couldn't help but say again: "Do you remember last autumn when we went to see the situation of the Hujie Army's left wing being transferred out of Beijing?" I think Guo Shao's lecture in front of the army at that time was quite interesting. At that time, Guo Shao said a lot of nonsense, as if to say that he wanted to be the defender of the Great Zhou.

Wang Pu didn't answer.

Suddenly, Wei Renpu seemed to have woken up to something, and quickly picked up the defense map brought back by Wang Pu and took a closer look.

At this moment, Wang Pu suddenly turned around, his small eyes were very bright, and he asked coldly, "What did Deputy Envoy Wei see?" ”

Wei Renpu frowned and shook his head: "It's too complicated, I can't understand it for a while." When the king showed it to me, he was in a hurry, and he really didn't pay much attention to it. ”

……

On Guo's mansion, Guo Shaozheng stroked Cao Tai's back: "At the earliest tomorrow, Gonggong Cao will enter the palace." Can you get in? ”

Cao Tai said: "The miscellaneous family serves in the province, of course you can get in." ”

"It must be dangerous to let Gonggong Cao go deep into the tiger's den alone, but at this time, everyone involved in this matter affects the direction of the big thing." Guo Shaodao.

Cao Tai glared and said: "The queen and countless people are in danger, and the miscellaneous family has a eunuch and a rotten life, and they have already put life and death out of the way!" ”

Guo Shaozheng said: "Father-in-law Cao must not depreciate himself, what's wrong with the eunuch!" There is a poem that says, 'Burning the piano and boiling the crane and the people are full, and the flowers ask the world to be the same.' Qing talks about high arguments, and there is a father-in-law with a sword and a bow'. Taishi Gong is a eunuch, Gao Lishi and Cai Lun are also admired by all generations, and some eunuchs are more beneficial to the country and the people than those who sell their reputations, and everyone is good and bad, not to mention eunuchs? At the critical juncture, Gonggong Cao acted with both great loyalty and righteousness, which is many times higher than most people in the world. ”

Cao Tai was stunned and said: "It's the first time I've heard that being an official eunuch can be so noble?" ”

Guo Shao patted him on the shoulder: "It has nothing to do with being a eunuch, it has something to do with being a person." In short, Gonggong Cao is also a very important person on the queen's side, and we will have blessings and hardships in the future. ”

Cao Tai nodded and said, "I do good things, and I still have to think about living, isn't it a blessing to be enjoyed?" ”

Guo Shaobai said: "The palace depends on Gonggong Cao, and I wish the trip tomorrow morning a success." ”

Cao Tai hurriedly returned the salute and bowed.

At this time, Zuo You entered, came over with a few pieces of paper, and said: "According to the arrangement of the lord, I have drafted various matters so as not to leak tomorrow." How about this arrangement? ”

Unexpectedly, Guo Shao immediately took out a booklet, and while comparing the messy lines and scribbled handwriting on the booklet, he looked at what Zuo You wrote.

The rain outside was dripping, and it was already very small.
