Chapter 276: Lifting the Fig Leaf
When Guo Shao woke up, he suddenly felt a little sore in his waist, and his body was still very tired. He was sitting on a large chair in the study in the inner garden, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a pile of papers on the table in front of him. There was a soft fur blanket on his body, and he didn't know when it was covered.
"Chirp...... sparrows outside are jumping up and down, the afternoon sun shines through the carved windows, mottled shadows on the floor tiles, the wind has stopped, and the weather that changed last night still hasn't sprinkled the rain after all. There was no one around, Guo Shao's spirit was still a little trance, and last night's wanton night was as if it had just happened. He was in a daze.
People are growing up, in his previous life, when he was very young, he met a beautiful woman in public, she was very pure, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and her voice was very gentle; Not only because of his beauty, he doesn't feel anything about some star-like women, but the beautiful woman he met by chance is very attractive to him in some indescribable subtleties...... His fantasy at that time was that one day he would be able to get close to such a person when he became famous; But for the time being, I don't have the confidence to approach her, and I can only watch her disappear into the sea of people in amazement.
As he got older, the more he learned, and his ideas gradually changed...... The beauties were not as simple as he thought. He no longer has the thoughts of his youth. But for the types he likes, those beauties, he still retains the psychology of his youth, hoping that she can live in the sun instead of being hurt; Just like the red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, it is inevitable to give birth to feelings of cherishment.
Up to now, Guo Shao's initial psychology in his heart has not changed, but his concept has changed again. Now that he felt that the flowers were worth cherishing, he could still try, and he had built up a greater self-confidence, and was no longer as careful as before.
...... Zhou Xian is the kind of woman who makes Guo Shao's pity uncontrollable at first sight, Guo Shao felt amazed, but never intended to forcibly hurt her.
Even if Fu Jinzhan was not the tolerant attitude of the ancient family, Guo Shao might be able to restrain his desires; There are too many things that a person wants in this world, but as a person who has experienced helplessness and powerlessness, Guo Shao does not want what he wants. Obviously, Zhou Xian can't be compared with Fu Jinzhan in Guo Shao's heart, even if Zhou Xian is really a fairy, it is impossible for a woman who has just met to shake the belief that Fu Jinzhan has established in Guo Shao's heart for many years.
But when Zhou Xian proposed a willing exchange, Guo Shao couldn't help it...... Fu Jinzhan also said that she would build a bronze bird platform for him, and she instigated it so much, so what did Guo Shao use in his heart to resist the temptation...... Temptation is sometimes more difficult to control than torture and pain.
As for the price, it is still within Guo Shao's tolerance. One million guan is not a small amount for the national finances, but it is not large enough to affect the whole; What's more, although Guo Shao recognized and even admired Li Yu's lyric talent, the "Emperor of Words" was not in vain, but he looked down on military affairs, and he intuitively thought that if Li Yu was the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would be more advantageous than Li Hongji, who dared to launch a mutiny.
Even if the harm outweighs the good, Guo Shao has no pressure...... If he and Zhou Xian are just trading and only considering gains and losses, Guo Shao doesn't have to pay any price at all; This "transaction" was also mixed with love and connivance for Zhou Xian.
In Guo Shao's personal heart, the major affairs of the country and the military are not necessarily as big as women. For example, the importance of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Fu Jinzhan wanted to choose one in his heart, and he estimated that he would choose a woman. How is this country, he is willing to take responsibility, but he does not feel that he can shoulder such a big responsibility alone. Even if you are a savior, some people may call you a dog, and you want to turn yourself into a mountain of pressure and bitterness all day long, so why bother!
...... A long time ago, he was still young, and there was a wife from a fellow villager in his hometown who bought it from other places, and the woman ran away many times without success, and tried to escape after giving birth to a child. The man threatened violence and violence for a long time to prevent the woman from running away again.
Guo Shao didn't think that the man was so strong and violent, it just showed his weakness, so he had to rely on this means to keep people. Guo Shao couldn't imagine that he could get any pleasant experience by using this method to get a woman.
...... He sat in his chair and pondered for a while, having been unprepared and confused yesterday. But in retrospect, I didn't do anything wrong.
But he gradually felt a little ashamed, and obviously agreed to Fu Jinzhan's matter, and it was broken so quickly...... It is really, a rare beauty in the world, Guo Shao couldn't help but want to taste it.
This incident caused him to feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
......
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, Guo Shao misses Second Sister Fu very much, so he can only write to her. It will take a while to pick her up, because Guo Shao personally sent her back to her parents' house, so naturally she had to pick her up in person, and now Tokyo is not stable and she dare not leave for too long.
Guo Shao packed up the drafts of his ideas for the past few days, and took them to the court to discuss with them. After weighing it in the carriage, after entering the Donghua Gate, he went straight to the Privy Council and called Wang Pu and Wei Renpu to ask for an audience together.
Today he has no idea about any beauty, after all, even if he is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, he has no appetite.
And Wang Pu also said that if there is any big event, he would like to participate. Guo Shao took into account Wang Pu's defense map before the mutiny, as well as Wang Pu's power and ability to hold the Privy Council, and had the intention to pull him into the power circle under the new pattern to strengthen the strength of the heart.
Wang Pu and Wei Renpu happily went. After going through some necessary procedures, the three of them were taken by the eunuchs to the side hall of the Jinxiang Palace, where the superior dealt with daily state affairs.
It was the first time Guo Shao went to this place to meet Fu Jinzhan . As soon as I entered the door, I saw a very spacious palace room, in which many officials sat and worked; There was a curtain on the north side, and I could faintly see a figure walking around in the curtain.
Guo Shao and the others knelt down together and bowed: "The ministers will meet the Queen Mother." ”
But no one answered, and after a while, I saw the eunuch Cao Tai walk out, and then bent down next to him and said: "The Queen Mother heard that it was the privy envoy, the deputy envoy and General Guo who came to meet in a different place." Three, please come with the miscellaneous family. ”
The three of them knelt down once, then got up, followed Cao Tai into the curtain, and then went out through another door, and went up the pavilion to another room. When they entered, they saw Fu Jinzhan sitting in the curtain, and they bowed again.
Guo Shao took out a few pieces of paper that were written neatly, raised his hands, and Cao Tai came down to continue.
Guo Shao presented things on the one hand, and said on the other hand: "The generals of the Iron Cavalry have committed a lot of crimes of rebellion, and the entire Iron Cavalry Army has failed to dispatch military orders. The minister has been thinking about it for a long time, please rectify the forbidden army. ”
Wei Renpu echoed: "There are so many people missing, it is time to select some generals to fill the military positions." When the new monarch succeeds to the throne, the civil and military who have made great contributions should also be praised and promoted, and they should not be delayed. ”
Wang Pu didn't speak, just stood beside him quietly.
"In the opinion of the last general, it is not the best policy to simply fill the military position. How does the temple division of a few years ago compare with now? The Iron Cavalry used to be called the Little Bottom Army. The forbidden army does not have to stick to the past. Guo Shao hugged his fists and said, "My suggestion is to reorganize the forbidden army ......"
After a short time, Fu Jinzhan finished reading the things presented by Guo Shao, and then passed them down for Wang Pu and others to see.
Fu Jinzhan opened his mouth and said, "General Guo, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Guo Shao continued: "Since the Iron Cavalry is already semi-paralyzed, the number can be cancelled; Separately assigned to the two elites of the Guards Division. The left wing of the Hujie Army has the merit of supporting, and his loyalty to the Queen Mother and the new monarch is reliable, so he should be incorporated into the front division of the palace as the internal guard of the forbidden army.
To put it simply, the 20,000 troops in the left wing accepted a part of the cavalry soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army (no generals) and expanded the army to 30,000; Divided into left and right compartments, the establishment of a new army 'Tiger Army'. As a result, there were 20,000 men left in the Iron Cavalry.
The left and right compartments of the Long Jie Army were all transferred back to Tokyo for reorganization, and 10,000 people were transferred to Gao Huaide, the right wing of the Hujie Army; The Iron Cavalry transferred 10,000 to expand Gao Huaide's department again. The strength of Gao Huaide's army was expanded to 40,000, divided into two compartments, left and right. The remaining 10,000 men of the Iron Cavalry Army were incorporated into the Longjie Army, and the strength of the Longjie Army was restored to 40,000. The guard Ma Bu Division still retains the number and strength of the formation. ”
Guo Shao said: "The file I submitted is the reorganization and elaboration of some of my own personnel, if there is anything inappropriate, please correct and revise the Queen Mother and the Privy Council." ”
Wang Pu finally spoke: "General Guo's plan is very clever, the main force of the internal guard has become a henchman, and all the people who are not a little unreliable have been transferred to the center. ”
Guo Shao was speechless, Wang Pu was right...... But such a black-bellied motive, it seems a little dishonorable to open your mouth to say it.
Wang Pu said again: "The two main forces of the front division of the palace, the Iron Cavalry no longer exists, and the left wing of the Hujie Army is completely General Guo's direct cronies...... Since the Liang, Tang, Han, and Jin dynasties, the Crane Army has always been the most unbelievable people, and most of them are from families, high families, and wealthy people, when did they participate in infighting? General Guo's plan is very clever, if you control and change the Zhuban Zhi again, no one in the front of the palace will oppose you at all. ”
Guo Shao's face was already quite ugly. Wang Pu unveiled his thoughts clearly in a few words, leaving no fig leaf, Nima!
His view of the Crane Control Army is the same as that of Wang Pu, this army has basically watched the fire from the other side for decades, and whoever is in power is loyal to whom; There is no performance, but there is no stain, it has always been the emperors who have been generous in providing for the people and horses they have been attracted to, and they have lived quite nourishingly. In addition to changing a few generals, the middle and lower classes are simply obedient and can no longer be obedient, the rules are very good, and the top and bottom seem to have reached a consensus that everyone will keep rich and prosperous together.
Dismantle the Iron Cavalry Army, and replace one or two generals of the Crane Control Army, and the front division of the palace is basically Guo Shao's person.
…… Wang Pu's words are ugly, and his interpersonal relationship is relatively poor, but Guo Shao has been in contact with him for a long time, and he has woken up: Wang Pu will not expose his shortcomings for no reason, and he must have some intentions.
What is the intention, Guo Shao is still figuring it out.
