Zhang Xuan didn't know that Guo Ziyi was already angry and bedridden at this moment.

Guo Yang fled Shuofang City, and after returning to Lingzhou, he did not dare to hide it, and truthfully reported the ins and outs of the matter to his father Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi was furious, and scolded Guo Yan on the spot, if it wasn't for a few generals and staff members to stop him, it would be inevitable to scold Guo Yan with a cane.

Guo Ziyi fell ill immediately, mainly due to heartache and helplessness.

Although he has many children, he has high hopes for this second son and wants to train him to be his successor in the Longshuo army, so Guo Yang is the only son among Guo Ziyi's children who currently serves in the army.

And his eldest son, Guo Yao, does not like to conquer, but only loves to read. Guo Ziyi was unwilling to force Guo Yao, so she had to let Guo Yao study literature and follow the path of civil and official career in the future.

But Guo Yang has now made a monstrous disaster.

Regardless of his great reason, he led the army to attack the princess of Hui without authorization, which is a great crime. And if the Hui princess Su Hudong dies in the desert, it will become a capital crime. Once known by the imperial court, Guo Yan will definitely die.

At this time, Guo Ziyi didn't know that among the Hui people captured by Guo Yang, there was also the Hui prince Ge Le, and Ge Le almost died in Guo Yang's hands. Of course, Guo Yang didn't know Gele's true identity, and he was still a nobleman or general among the Hui people.

Guo Ziyi was lying on the bed, thinking about how to settle this matter. He had the intention of sending people to Hui to make amends and win the Hui people's forgiveness, but this move would arouse the suspicion of Zhang Xuan, the new governor.

And if the situation is allowed to develop, when Governor Zhang Dadu arrives in Ren Lingzhou, where else can Guo Yang escape?

Next, there was a succession of bad news from Shuofang that shocked Guo Ziyi's heart.

Hearing that among the Hui people captured by Guo Yang, there was the Hui prince Gele, that is, the heir to the Hui throne, Guo Ziyi was shocked and secretly said that it was not good.

Immediately, there was a military report that the Hui people raised a large army to besiege Shuofang City and ask for the return of Gele.

Almost at the same time, the news that Zhang Xuan summoned the commanders of the Shuofang states in Shuofang and dismissed Li Guangbi from his military post also spread throughout Lingzhou.

Guo Ziyi sighed when he heard the report, knowing that his son, who had high hopes, might not be able to keep it.

Zhang Xuan had a lot of "actions" in Shuofang, obviously killing chickens to show monkeys, ostensibly to shoot at Li Guangbi, but in fact it was also a deterrent, for Guo Ziyi's generals to see.

Guo Ziyi was irritable and desperate, sick, and had a high fever for several days.

……

……

Guo Ziyi was lying on the bed with a wet towel on her forehead. Because of the high fever, his face turned red, his breathing was a little short, and he kept coughing.

The doctor finished treating him, prescribed medicine, and then withdrew. Outside the bedroom, Guo Ziyi's eldest son Guo Yao, third son Guo En, and youngest daughter Guo Fu were anxiously waiting in the hospital. Is it a big deal? ”

The doctor smiled and shook his head, "Eldest son, Guo Shuai is fine, no need." It's just that I was worried about the wind and cold, and I had a fever hood, and I could recover after taking a few more medicines. It's just that the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, Guo Shuai's illness still needs to be recuperated in bed for more than a month. ”

Guo Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Ene said in a deep voice, "Big brother, I'll just say, my father has always been in good health, and there is no need to worry about this little illness." ”

Guo Fu didn't say anything, but a faint worry slipped on her delicate face.

Seeing that the doctor had already gone away, Guo Yao sighed and lowered his voice, "The third brother, the little sister, the second brother has broken into a monstrous disaster, and now that Governor Zhang is gradually marching into Lingzhou, the second brother will be difficult to escape from serious crimes sooner or later, and the father of the elder brother is overly angry and hurts his vitality." ”

Guo Ene frowned, and waved his hand a little disappreciatively, "What's the big deal." The second brother has always been steady, and there must be a reason for this. I heard the second brother say that if it weren't for the princess Su Hudong humiliating him in front of him, he wouldn't have done it on the spur of the moment. ”

"It's just a misunderstanding, so why bother? My father has been guarding Longshuo for many years, and the Hui people are frightened, I don't believe it, the Hui people dare to hold on to it, and they don't give this face! ”

"As for Zhang Xuan, what about the Metropolitan Governor? When he first arrived in Lingzhou, he relied on his father a lot, and he relied on his father and our Guo family to fight for the country for so many years, without merit and hard work, can he really start with his second brother? ”

Guo Yao shook his head slightly, "Otherwise, I heard that this Metropolitan Governor Zhang is ruthless and strict in governing the army, and he took away Li Guangbi's military power not long after he arrived in Shuofang...... Li Guangbi said that he would take it all, and it was Guo Yang? ”

"Li Guangbi is something, if it wasn't for his father's recommendation, he would not be where he is today. This person is narrow-minded and has no one in his eyes, and Zhang Dadu dismissed him from his military position, I think it's very happy! Guo Ene smiled, "Father Shuai is different from Li Guangbi. Big brother, you don't have to, I guess that the second brother will be punished a little at most, and the big thing will be turned into a small matter. ”

Guo Fu also interjected with a smile on the side, "Big brother, the third brother is reasonable." With the prestige of his father, Governor Zhang Dadu would not really do the second brother. ”

"Big brother, third brother, think about it, the second brother led the army to leave Shuofang that day, if Governor Zhang Dadu really had the heart to deal with him, how could he come back?" Guo Fu's eyes moved, and he smiled.

Guo Yao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Little sister is right, it's true, if Zhang Dadu wants to be the second brother, he won't be able to escape back to Lingzhou." ”

The three brothers and sisters were talking in the courtyard, and Guo Ziyi's arm henchman, Lingzhou Mansion Shaoyin Hou Yanliang, strode in, and arched his hand to the three brothers and sisters from a distance, "The eldest son, the third son, the young lady!" ”

"Lord Hou!" Guo Yao and the three hurriedly returned the salute to Hou Yanliang.

Guo Fu glanced at Hou Yanliang, saw that his face was not very good-looking, and wanted to ask a few words, but saw that Hou Yanliang had already pushed the door and walked into Guo Ziyi's bedroom.

The three siblings hesitated for a moment and followed.

"Guo Shuai!" Hou Yanliang bowed.

Guo Ziyi opened his eyes with difficulty, saw that it was Hou Yanliang, sighed softly and said, "Lord Hou, has the Metropolitan Governor arrived in Lingzhou?" ”

Hou Yanliang nodded heavily, "Yes, Governor Zhang's chariot and horse honor guard has arrived at the sand castle, which is less than a hundred miles away from Lingzhou. It is expected to enter Lingzhou before noon tomorrow. ”

Guo Ziyi's face changed, and she groaned silently.

Hou Yanliang hesitated for a moment, but still lowered his voice and said, "Guo Shuai, let's let the lower officials and Zhang Xun Zhang lead people out of Lingzhou, the lower officials will explain to the metropolitan governor, Guo Shuai is bedridden and can't go out to greet him, presumably the metropolitan governor will not blame." ”

Guo Ziyi raised his eyebrows, shook his head categorically and said, "No, this official will personally come out to greet you!" The governor of the capital is an important minister of the imperial court, the prince of Lingwu County, and also the three towns of Xuanfu, and the official town guards Lingzhou, if he does not come out of the welcome, it is very rude. ”

"This ......," Hou Yanliang hesitated.

"Someone, tie up Guo Yang to the old man, and go out of Lingzhou with this official to meet the metropolitan governor!" Guo Ziyi gritted her teeth and waved her hand suddenly, but she couldn't help coughing violently.

"Guo Shuai, don't do it!" Hou Yanliang was taken aback, "If the second son is tied up, I'm afraid it will ......."

Guo Ziyi stopped coughing and said with a wry smile, "Lord Hou, even if you don't tie it up, do you think the official can escape?" Guo Yang, the son of evil, has committed a heinous crime, and his name must not be destroyed in his hands. Someone came, tied Guo Yang, and handed it over to the governor for disposal. ”

"Father, you can't, the second brother is unintentional, just turn big things into small things, why take it too seriously? Besides, if Governor Zhang Dadu really had the intention to punish the second brother, he would not let the second brother return to Lingzhou...... Please think twice! Guo Ene heard that Guo Ziyi was going to tie up Guo Yang and kill his relatives, so he strode in and blocked him.

Guo Ziyi was furious, pointed at Guo Ene and reprimanded, "It's all because you don't grow up, you are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and now you have broken through such a catastrophe." The old man does things, it's not your turn to point fingers, step back! ”

Guo Ene still had two sentences to tell, but Guo Fu, who followed up, pulled his shirt and signaled him not to say any more.

Guo Ziyi glanced at the two sons and one daughter in front of her, and said secretly in her heart: When you are the governor of Zhang Dadu, do you have the intention to let go of Guo Yan's son? He is forcing the old man to kill his relatives in righteousness! If the old man really doesn't know the current affairs, I'm afraid that Guo Yang is really a dead end. The old man tied up Guo Yang and brought his son to ask for guilt, maybe there was still a glimmer of life.

"Stand down!" Guo Ziyi reprimanded again.

Guo Yao, Guo Ene and Guo Fu didn't dare to be any longer, and retreated in a gloomy manner.

"The old man is not strict in governing the family, and he has no way to teach his children, so he caused this kind of trouble, which made Lord Hou laugh." Guo Ziyi said softly, calming her heart, which was actually very excited.

"Guo Shuai doesn't have to be like this. To err is human. The second son has always been steady, and this time it was also a misunderstanding. As long as Guo Shuai explains one or two things in front of the Metropolitan Governor, presumably the Fu people will not hold on to it. Hou Yanliang smiled and comforted.

In fact, Guo Yang is really not the kind of gentleman who bullies men and women in a nonsense manner. It's just that as Guo Ziyi's son, he is somewhat arrogant and arrogant.

"Hey, I hope it's as Lord Hou said. Lord Hou, help the old man invite Zhang Xun Zhang, let's discuss how to greet the matter, the metropolitan governor will be in Longshuo, the first time we arrived in Lingzhou, we can't lose the courtesy, cause the metropolitan governor to be unhappy. Guo Ziyi smiled meaningfully and coughed a few more times, "Li Guangbi has always been above the top, and there is no one in his eyes, this time he was taken down by the Metropolitan Governor, it should be a long lesson, right?" ”

"Okay, the subordinate obeys." Hou Yanliang arched his hand, "Guo Shuai, the lower official has a suggestion." ”

"Lord Hou, please speak, between you and me, there is no need to hide it, just say it directly."

"Guo Shuai, why don't you send someone to rush to Hui Hui with gifts, apologize to Hui Khan, and invite Hui Khan and Prince Gele to Lingzhou to meet, one to meet with Governor Zhang, and the other to let Hui people say a few good words in front of Governor. In this way, presumably the Metropolitan Governor could not help but give Hui Khan some face. ”
