Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xuan led the army, escorted by Guo Ziyi and others, and went straight to Lingzhou City.

Lingzhou City opened the city gate, stationed in the east and west of the two large battalions outside Lingzhou City under the mark of more than 10,000 direct soldiers and horses lined up to greet each other, and the people and merchants in the city also sang and danced out of the city to welcome the new governor of the capital, the scene was very warm.

Although this has the factors behind Guo Ziyi's arrangement, it also reflects the supreme authority of the Tang Dynasty court over the local feudal towns.

It can be said that except for the town of Fanyang in An Lushan, the authority of the Tang Dynasty court is quite "effective" in any feudal town.

Zhang Xuan did not disturb the people, and quietly led everyone into Lingzhou City, and then Zhang Xuan entered the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the Dadu Governor's Mansion issued the first notice at the same time, which was also the first time Zhang Xuan issued a government order and military order in Longshuo.

The content of the proclamation was very simple, announcing that in order to relieve the burden of the people, the construction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion would be abandoned, and all the hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of civilian servants who had been requisitioned before would be returned.

As soon as this news came out, Lingzhou was shaken.

The people of the whole city rushed to tell each other and rejoiced. A metropolitan governor who cherishes the people's strength, loves the people like a son, and knows how to sympathize with the people's difficulties can best win the support of the people at the bottom.

With this notice plastered all over the city of Lingzhou, Zhang Xuan's reputation as a metropolitan governor began to spread far and wide.

After Guo Ziyi got the news, he was speechless for a long time, and it took a long time to sigh to Hou Yanliang, "Governor Zhang is really different, the young man is ambitious but not frivolous, the high and powerful but uneasy and enjoyable, far-reaching, cherishing the people's power, which is admirable." ”

Hou Yanliang smiled slightly, but took the initiative to divert the topic and said, "Guo Shuai, the second son has been detained, from the point of view of the lower officials, why don't the lower officials come forward and connect the civil and military colleagues in Lingzhou to ask for a favor from the metropolitan governor together?" ”

Guo Ziyi was taken aback, and her face changed suddenly, "Absolutely not!" Never! If everyone begged for mercy together, Governor Zhang Dadu would definitely be disgusted, and this would really be the last ray of life for Guo Yang. ”

The corners of Hou Yanliang's mouth twitched, and he lowered his voice and said, "Guo Shuai, if I sit back and don't care, and use the character of Zhang Dadudu, the second son is in danger this time.

Guo Ziyi sighed and said resolutely, "The old man has been a general for more than ten years, and he never dared to bend the law for personal gain. ”

Hou Yanliang shook his head secretly and said more.

He has followed Guo Ziyi for many years, and he knows Guo Ziyi's temperament, so it's useless to say more, so it's better not to say it.

Looking at Hou Yanliang's lonely back, Guo Ziyi sighed in his heart: The boss sees that this Metropolitan Governor eats soft or hard, if everyone "forces the palace," he will definitely want his backlash, maybe even the boss will have to go in, so why bother?

Guo Yan, you son of a! In vain, the boss has worked hard to cultivate, and now he has ended up like this. Guo Ziyi flicked the sleeves of her robe hatefully, fell on the couch, and slept with her clothes.

I can't help but say that Guo Ziyi really guessed Zhang Xuan's personality. For the sake of the big plan, Zhang Xuan was going to leave a way for Guo Yang to live, because if Guo Yang was really killed, there would definitely be an irreparable rift between him and Guo Ziyi. But if Guo Ziyi instructed the generals of Lingzhou and the civil officials to "threaten" Zhang Xuan together, Zhang Xuan would definitely take the opportunity to fight back.

And Guo Yan will definitely become a victim.

The news that Guo Yang was brought to justice by the governor of the capital and that he would be severely punished spread in the Guo family, which naturally caused some turmoil.

The relatives of the Guo family were in a panic, but Guo Ziyi's adults did not dare to open their mouths to intercede for their son.

Guo Yao and Guo Ene brothers got together and secretly discussed.

"Big brother, you can't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, the second brother will definitely be a dead end." Guo Ene waved his hand and sneered, "We can't watch the second brother die!" ”

"I didn't expect this Zhang Xuan to not give us any face to the Guo family, it's just unreasonable!"

Guo Yao frowned, "Third brother, what do you say?" ”

"Big brother, just don't do it, the first and second brothers are detained in the Lingzhou Mansion, why don't we go and secretly release the second brother, and then flee from Lingzhou together, and go to Chang'an to ask His Royal Highness Yuzhen for personal favors in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison State." Guo Ene gritted his teeth fiercely.

Guo Yao's face changed greatly, and he waved his hand again and again, "Nonsense! Escaping from prison under a felony is a capital offense. Besides, even if you let go of your second brother, your father and family are still in Lingzhou, and when the time comes, when the governor is angry, won't you even connect your father and the whole family? ”

"The father has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, what else does he want Zhang Xuan?" Guo Ene sneered, "Big brother, in this way, you don't know what to do, let me rescue the second brother, and then our brothers rushed to the capital to seek help from His Royal Highness Yuzhen." That Zhang Cheng categorically would not blame his father for this, even if he was to blame, what else could he do when the imperial court's decree was issued? ”

Guo Yao still shook his head a little hesitantly.

The relationship between Guo Ziyi and Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying is extraordinary, Li Zhiying has always taken good care of the Guo family, at this time, Guo Ene proposed to flee to Chang'an to seek help from Yuzhen, but it was not unresolved.

It's just that Guo Ene doesn't know that the current Princess Yuzhen is no longer the former His Royal Highness Yuzhen, she has long fallen out of favor, and her influence in Chang'an is becoming sluggish, and it can even be said that she is gradually withdrawing from the sight of the Tang Dynasty and the opposition; And even if Princess Yuzhen still has power, Zhang Xuan is not afraid of her.

If Guo Ene knew that Princess Yuzhen, the big backer in his eyes, couldn't turn up any wolf heads in front of Zhang Xuan, he wouldn't dare to kill him with such crazy thoughts.

"Third brother, this matter is not appropriate. If the father and the son are bound to ask for the guilt, the governor may not necessarily be killed. Let's wait and see. ”

Guo Fu, who had been silent, suddenly interjected softly.

Guo Ene sneered, "Zhang Xian clearly wants to borrow our Guo family to establish his authority, this is an obvious thing." Now that the second brother has committed a crime, it just happened to fall into his hands, how can he not take the opportunity to fall into the ground? In my opinion, he not only wants to kill his second brother, but also takes away his father's military power! ”

"Li Guangbi was dismissed and investigated by Zhang Xuan, which is a living example. Li Guangbi's fate is a lesson from his father, and it may not be long before he will attack his father! When the time comes, our Guo family will still be finished! ”

"It's a dead end on the left and right, and it's a desperate fight!"

Guo Ene brushed his sleeves away, and put down a cruel sentence, "That's it, a good man is a good man, I am one, a person will do it, and I will never do it to my family!" My second brother and I will escape from Lingzhou tonight, eldest brother, little sister, you will tell your parents in the future, just treat it as if there are no two of us! ”

Guo Hen Huoran got up and opened her hand to stop her, but she sighed weakly, her eyes swaying a little.

Compared with letting Guo Yang wait for death, Guo Gao still felt that he was desperate to go to Chang'an for help, and there might be a glimmer of life.

Guo Fuliu'er frowned tightly, got up and looked at Guo En's departing back and was silent.

Joy, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Guo Ene took a few henchmen and soldiers to infiltrate the Lingzhou Mansion Prison.

Guo Ziyi is the Lingwu Taishou, and the administrative affairs of Lingzhou are controlled by Guo Ziyi, so the government is almost equal to his own back garden for the Guo family. Guo Ene was under the banner of visiting Guo Yan, how dare the gate guard stop this third son.

The dungeon was very dimly lit. Guo Yang was locked in the outermost room, he was lying on the straw mat and was drowsy, but he heard the movement of someone breaking in, and couldn't help but open his eyes to see that it was his third brother who came in with a few people holding torches and weapons.

Guo Yang was shocked, turned over and sat up, lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, what are you doing?" ”

"Second brother, junior brother is going to rescue you now...... "Without further ado, don't hesitate, Zhang Xuan has already released a rumor that he will kill you and send your head to the king of Hui "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better for us to escape together and go to Chang'an to ask His Royal Highness Yuzhen for help." As long as His Royal Highness Yuzhen says a few good words in front of His Majesty, Second Brother, you can still save your life! ”

Guo Ene said hurriedly while ordering someone to open the prison door.

Guo Yang trembled and begged in shock, although he guessed that Zhang Xuan couldn't spare him for his own life, he really didn't have the idea of escaping from prison and absconding.

"Second brother, what are you hesitating about? Do you want to stay in Lingzhou and wait for death? It's better to die than to live, let's go to Chang'an first, if His Royal Highness Yuzhen refuses to help, it's a big deal that our brothers will wander the world from now on, and it's better than losing their lives! ”

Guo Ene tugged Guo Yan's arm and said softly.

"However, if we escape, how will my father explain to the governor." ”

"This matter has nothing to do with his father, he can't do anything with his father. My father has been operating in Longshuo for many years, and if he really wants to attack his father, I'm afraid that the soldiers under my father will not agree! Besides, as long as we go to Chang'an to ask for favors, our father will naturally be safe and sound! ”

Guo Yan hesitated, but after all, he was still afraid of life and death, and was pulled by Guo Ene and half-pushed and half-on the spot and sneaked out of the Lingzhou Mansion prison.

However, as soon as the group was released from the prison, they suddenly heard a light reprimand, and immediately the lights were bright, and more than 100 fierce soldiers with torches, bows and arrows appeared around, surrounding the way out.

The first general, with a slender and heroic figure in fresh armor, is the Southern Wuyun.

The treasure in Nan Wuyun's hand was raised, and he pointed at Guo Yan and the others and said lightly, "General Guo is not staying in the prison, so he just ran out, so how can the last general explain to the metropolitan governor?" ”

"It's over, this time, it's completely over......" Guo Yang's face changed suddenly, and he immediately became extremely pale. His legs went limp, he felt dizzy in front of him, and he fell to the ground.

And Guo Ene pulled out his saber with a grim face, leaning his back against the corner, and was ready to resist stubbornly.

Nan Wuyun looked at Guo Ziyi's third son with a playful look, and said in his heart, do you still want to play scheming with the Metropolitan Governor? You're not far from it! After the Governor entered the city, he expected that someone in the Guo family would be ready to move, so he secretly ordered me to ambush here, and this is indeed the case tonight!

Nanwuyun suddenly shouted, "Take it!" If you dare to resist, there will be no mercy! “
