Chapter 477: It's No Different
Guo Shao had dinner and returned to his residence at the back of the lobby for a lunch break. A wing room that was originally the temporary residence of officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty was completely devoid of the feeling of a bedroom at this time, because there were pictures hanging everywhere on the walls, and one wall was covered with notes.
It's better than living in a tent, Guo Shao sat down on a collapse. After all, he was in an enemy country, and he was still wearing a fine chain soft armor vest, so he took the armor off by himself. At this time, I touched the paper that was stuffed in the pocket just now, and when I opened it, there were four sentences that were still so dazzling: the obscene charm serves the third husband, and the country is the wedding dress; The house slaves should be outside the door, and the snakes and wolves are ungrateful.
A wave of annoyance slammed into Guo Shao's heart. The most vicious scolding in the world is not to make something out of nothing, but to misinterpret a fact; The right way is that things are never the same, but people's hearts are different...... It is no wonder that all documents in the future will be written, and the final interpretation right belongs to oneself.
"Whoa...... Syllable! He suddenly stretched out his hand and flipped the teacups on the next table to the ground, and the ceramic quilt suddenly broke into several pieces. At this time, there was no one around, his face was unconcealed, and he was full of murderous energy, crumpled the paper in his hand, and touched the saber in his hand.
Lu Chengyong heard the voice and walked to the door, and was startled when he saw Guo Shao's appearance, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord......"
But Guo Shao never took out his anger at the people around him, and he also reacted that the sword in his hand now couldn't kill the enemy or kill anyone. He exhaled, let go of the hilt of his sword, got up and picked up the brush on the inkstone in front of the bookcase, and wrote hard.
After a while, Guo Shao beckoned Lu Chengyong: "Give this piece of paper to Zuo You and let him do it." ”
"Whoa." Lu Chengyong responded with his fists clenched and strode out of the room.
Guo Shao paced around the room, feeling that Zhao Kuangyin was not an idler, and it was not necessarily useful to just offer a reward to calm the situation. The anger in his heart has not disappeared, and he said silently in his heart: Lao Tzu wants to be the emperor, and he must do better than you!
He took a deep breath, only feeling that the affairs of the world were indeed not cut off and sorted out with a quick sword. First of all, I can't be sorry for Marigold, her kindness, her goodness, and her trust will never be forgotten for ten lifetimes.
Guo Shao walked to the wall, which was plastered with people's names. There are people from the Southern Tang Kingdom, Wu Yue Kingdom, and people from the Great Zhou, and there is a topographic map next to it, but some places that focus on the circle are now not the name of the target place, but the name of the person, such as the location of Luzhou written "Li Yun".
He looked at it for a while, then simply put the pen and paper on the coffee table where the teacup had been overturned, and lay on the couch to look at the things on the wall. His eyesight is very good, and it is also a basic requirement for archery, so he can read clearly from a distance.
Guo Shao picked up the pen, wrote "internal contradictions" and "cohesion" in a small notebook, and then drew two circles and an arrow to point to another word "internal contradictions". After a while, he wrote: Now that Shu and Southern Tang have been destroyed, there is no longer military pressure in the south, and attention should be directed to the north......
At this moment, a voice suddenly said, "Did the concubine body disturb General Guo?" ”
Guo Shao turned his head and saw Zhou Xian holding Zhou Jiamin's hand and standing outside the door, and Lu Chengyong was standing behind him. He sat up and said, "No, no, please sit down inside." ”
Lu Chengyong clasped his fists outside the door and saluted and retreated without saying a word. The second woman walked into the room, Zhou Xian gently bent his knees, and said, "General Guo saved the second sister, we should have come over to thank you a long time ago." ”
Guo Shao put down the pen and paper and glanced at Zhou Xian, and her eyes were not only grateful, but also sad and entangled...... But her eyes are so beautiful, bright and affectionate, because she is good-looking, so she can be poignant in that mood. Much shorter than Zhou Xian, the little lady has a pair of eyes that look similar, but this little lady has no sadness, she is staring at the things posted on the wall with wide and curious eyes, and looking down at the fragments of teacups on the ground.
Guo Shao paused, and quickly thought of the fire in the palace hall of the Southern Tang Kingdom. Zhou Xian must have known from Tuesday's sister that Li Yu was not dead when he saw Guo Shao; Even if the firewood was put by Li Yu in advance, Sister Zhou also saw Li Yu killed...... But with Zhou Xian's wisdom, he should guess that it was Guo Shao who wanted Li Yu to die, and it would be like that.
"You don't have to be polite." Guo Shao opened his mouth and muttered again, "The incident in the barracks (Zhou Xian's warning assassination), there is no need to mention it again in the future, otherwise the people in Jiangnan will talk nonsense...... In the future, Emperor E can have a noble status in the Central Plains Imperial Court, and your reputation can also be taken care of, after all, you are canonized. ”
Zhou Xian's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he choked up: "The Southern Tang Kingdom is destroyed, and the reason for the strength and weakness is the reason." Why is General Guo so good to me, you call me that...... I don't know what to think. ”
Tuesday Sister couldn't help but look up at her sister's face.
Guo Shao said kindly: "Zhou Gong has passed away, Zhou Jiamin still has to rely on you, and there are other clansmen, you can't bear to watch Jiamin helpless, right?" So you have to live well, forget the sad things in the past, and I won't treat you badly. ”
Zhou Xian lowered his head and quietly wiped a handful of tears.
Guo Shao glanced back at the name on the wall and asked, "Who is that assassin from Li Yu, and why did he sacrifice his life to assassinate him?" ”
Zhou Xiandao: "Liu Liuqi is the sixth daughter of Liu Renzhan, the general of the Southern Tang Kingdom, Liu Renzhan was captured in Shouzhou and later killed by General Guo. She avenged her father's murder. ”
"Liu Renzhan is living well, what revenge is she taking on?" Guo Shao was stunned.
Zhou Xian was also stunned: "General Guo didn't kill him?" Then why did the king ......?"
A smile appeared on Guo Shao's face: "I sent a fast horse back to Tokyo and asked Liu Gong to write a handwritten letter." When the city of Shouzhou was broken, Liu Gong wanted to commit suicide, but he was dissuaded by me, and later I had a good personal relationship with him; If it weren't for Liu Gongnian and the grace of the Southern Tang Kingdom, they might have come out to be officials. ”
Zhou Xian said: "I see...... As long as Liu Liuqi sees her father's family letter, she should let go of her hatred, she is not a villain. ”
Guo Shao nodded, not only did he not blame others for killing him, but he also showed a look of joy on his face. He hurriedly flipped through the booklet and linked several names......
Liu Renzhan not only has no prejudice against Guo Shao, but also has some sympathy; He was reluctant to come out to be an official, just because the Great Zhou wanted to be an enemy of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and he couldn't get over that hurdle as an old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty. But now that the Southern Tang Kingdom has been destroyed, and Liu Liuqi has committed a big taboo again, Guo Shao will show grace again, and it is very likely that Liu Renzhan will come back to serve his life.
Liu Renzhan had a good personal relationship with Chen Qiao before, and it can be seen from one thing: the Southern Tang Dynasty court recommended Lin Renzhao as a general, which was the remarks of Liu Renzhan and Chen Qiao and others. With Liu Renzhan as an example and matchmaking, there will be an opportunity to win over Chen Qiao...... Liu Renzhan was Lin Renzhao's boss again, and even Lin Renzhao could fight for it; If Lin Renzhao is won, then Lin Renzhao can go back to win over Chen Qiao.
Guo Shao roughly marked the relationship between several people, raised his head and said, "Emperor E, don't worry, I will definitely forgive Liu Liuqi." ”
Zhou Xian was thoughtful, but he also saluted politely: "Concubine Liu Liuqi thank you General Guo." ”
"I want you to do me a favor." Guo Shaodao, "I have heard that Emperor E is good at music and rhythm, and his writing is graceful. I would like to ask you to write a tune for me, which should be magnificent, magnificent, simple, and able to sing a morale-boosting tune in the army. ”
Zhou Xiandao: 'If the concubine dares to disobey her orders, she will do her best. She then said: "General Guo has something to do, so we won't bother much, so we will leave." ”
Guo Shao hugged his fists and said goodbye.
Zhou Xian took Jia Min out of the room, and the little lady looked back after she went out. Guo Shao also thought that the little girl was very beautiful and cute, but he didn't think much about it, after all, she was just a little girl who was less than ten years old...... According to history, she is a very famous "Xiao Zhou Hou", after being caught, she was insulted and painted, her face was invincible, and she was humiliated for a thousand years, and she was indeed very innocent; At least not now.
Guo Shao's mood at this time gradually improved a lot, and the aftermath of the Southern Tang Kingdom was now very smooth to sort out, at least it could help him alleviate his worries.
…… Zhou Xian took Jia Min back from the corridor under the eaves, and Jia Min muttered at this time: "General Guo and the eldest sister talked, but no one paid attention to me. ”
Zhou Xianzheng fell into other emotions, and didn't care much about his sister, and said casually: "The adults are talking about business, you are still young, what can you say?" ”
After a while, Jia Min asked again, "What is a knight?" ”
Zhou Xian replied: "A martial artist who rides on a horse and wears armor." ”
"Oh......" Jia Min nodded thoughtfully, "Pretty powerful, isn't it?" ”
Zhou Xian was a little impatient in his heart, but he felt that the last time he was in the barracks, he ignored the danger of Sister Zhou, and felt a little guilty, so he had to nod his head and say yes.
Jia Min seemed to have endless questions, and asked again: "Am I a little princess?" ”
Zhou Xian said helplessly: "Although Empress Dowager Zhong loved you very much in the past, you are not a member of the royal family after all, you can't be called a princess, and the emperor's daughter is called a princess." You should know this, why do you have to ask me everything? ”
"I thought the princess and the little princess were different." Jia Min pursed her lips and said innocently.
Zhou Xian didn't pay attention to her anymore, thinking about what he said just now, Guo Shao said that "in the future, Emperor E will have a noble status in the Central Plains Imperial Court" and "canonized", plus she had faintly heard the rumors of Guo Shao's usurpation in the palace before, and she was even more sure that he was ambitious.
Guo Shao wants to do what to do and how to plan, she can't control it now, and even now it's not Guo Shao who thinks about it the most, and the main attention has shifted to those Guo Shao's wives and concubines in Tokyo...... Zhou Xian has been in the court for a long time, she knows very well the life between the royal family and nobles, even if she is committed to a man, but the most she gets along with is not with that man, but with other noblewomen.
If she doesn't plan to die a hundred times, she doesn't have to think about whether she has affection for Guo Shao or not, she must be committed to this person, there is no other way. Because, Guo Shao is the victor of this war.
