Zhang Rang listened to Liu Hong's praise of Guo Bin, although he was puzzled, he said: "Guo Qianyang is His Majesty's personal recklessness, and his loyalty and patriotism are naturally good." It's just that I don't know, what earth-shattering things did this Guo Bin do? Even His Majesty is so happy? ”

Liu Hong laughed and handed Guo Bin's fold to Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang took it with both hands, and after only looking at the beginning, his heart was about to cry bad. Without him, what Guo Bin played was just the matter of rebuilding the South Palace.

Zhang Changshi, who had been by the Son of Heaven's side for a long time, probably knew much more about Guo Bin than most of the high-ranking officials and eunuchs in the court. Although Guo Bin is against himself everywhere, he has to admit that he is really capable. This skill is not a way to write words, nor is it an officialdom trick, but a means to solve problems in a real way. The fundamental reason why Zhang Rang dared to wrestle with many important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and could put them in order with one or two strategies to the point of snatching the heavens and the earth, or demoting officials, or losing their lives, was that these important ministers were familiar with everything in their sleeves, and although they were accustomed to intrigue with others, it was not their forte to really solve problems.

Guo Bin is different, since he first entered Beijing to face the saint, Zhang Rang didn't even dare to have the slightest intention of dealing with him. Why? Because he has a unique vision of the problem, he can always grasp the key to the problem at the first time, so if he doesn't make a move, it will be a thunderous momentum, so that people don't even have the slightest intention of resisting. Whether it was the eight people beating more than 100 people in the rivers and lakes, or the power struggle with the county Cheng Jia Ren in Yangzhai, it seemed effortless, but every time they could completely gain the upper hand.

Not only that, every time there is a major event, Guo Bin is extremely stable, but his thinking is flying and jumping, which makes people unsure of his pulse.

At the beginning, Zhang Liang personally led hundreds of Taiping Dao masters to besiege Yangzhai County, but fell into a heavy siege, so many famous players in the rivers and lakes, only a dozen people could go back alive; Later, He Man led 30,000 people to attack Yangzhai County, and Guo Bin led hundreds of temporary patchwork recruits to rush thousands of miles to help, and took the 30,000 Taiping Dao elites as his own without a few major battles.

If you want to say that his most risky battle is the harassment battle outside the city of Changshe. Isn't it crazy that 700 cavalry troops attacked the camp tents of 200,000 troops that stretched for dozens of miles? But he was stunned to play with the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army again and again, and in the twists and turns, Huangfu Song said: "In every battle, the Yellow Turban thieves suffered heavy losses, and the total number of people reached more than 5,000, and Guo led the troops except for two or three minor injuries, none of them were damaged. ”

In the face of such a visionary, ruthless, steady but not very rule-abiding master, and dare to take risks and work hard, who would dare to play with him? And don't look at Guo Bin's behavior sometimes doesn't follow the unspoken rules of convention, but he always has a polite word everywhere. Therefore, since his first confronting of the saint, Zhang Rang obediently took a detour as soon as he saw Guo Bin, and also restrained his subordinates and tried not to conflict with him.

Zhang Rang knew that he was competing with important ministers in the court, so he was able to win many times, relying on the favor and trust of the Son of Heaven. And the important ministers of the foreign courts, one by one, have family support, protégés and old collusion with each other, and their strength in the court cannot be underestimated. Moreover, they gathered into a party to fight against the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven were born to be opposed to each other and contain each other.

And he is different, he is not a person who is always incomplete, and he has no family power to boast of, and his own glory and wealth all come from the Son of Heaven, just like the vines of a coiled tree, and it is impossible to betray the Son of Heaven by nature. If you say that you are selfish, it is just greed for money, and the Son of Heaven knows it very well.

Therefore, every time the ten permanent servants wrestle with the ministers of the court, the Son of Heaven will always favor these closest eunuchs.

But what about Guo Bin? Since his first encounter with the Son of Heaven, he has been on the same page as a brother. Besides, people still have the ability, and whenever the Son of Heaven needs help the most, he can always see the opportunity and make a decisive move. Therefore, although he is still only a small county guard, Zhang Rang understands that this is only because he is still young and his qualifications are too shallow, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to rank among the third dukes. With the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to Guo Bin, his weight in the mind of the Son of Heaven is much more important than that of many Zhu Zi important ministers in the court.

Whether it is the imperial gift of the sword of the horse, or the containment of the emperor Fu Song, the Son of Heaven has intentionally done it. is now that he is the marquis of Yangzhai County, and he leads Yingchuan Taishou in the year of the uncrowned, which is the arrangement of the Son of Heaven for the future situation. Although He Jin is in a high position and is the uncle of the crown prince Liu Bian, he is from a poor family after all, whether it is a person or a political mind, I am afraid that it is not useful at the critical moment. The appointment of Guo Bin as the Taishou of Yingchuan is to add a layer of insurance to the prince.

Guo Bin's ability and loyalty are unquestionable, and placing him in Yingchuan is partly due to his political influence in Yingchuan. However, this only occupies a very small side, the so-called "cone in the bag, its end is immediately seen", Guo Bin is a hero, where to put it is very reassuring.

And put him in Yingchuan because Yingchuan is very close to Luoyang. Once there is something in Beijing, Guo Bin can personally command the army at any time. With the elite of Guo Bin's subordinate, from Yingchuan to Beijing, it can be reached in three or five days.

Secondly, Guo Bin is still young after all, and he is only eighteen years old this year. Although he is capable enough, the eighteen-year-old two thousand stones are indeed too terrifying. If Guo Bin is placed in Beijing, it is difficult to ensure that he will unite with Shilin and lose his original independence, after all, his close relationship with Shilin and his high reputation in Shilin are not secrets. Now there are even students who compare him with Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and the like!

Moreover, with Guo Bin's age and qualifications, placing him in Beijing is indeed too eye-catching, easy to be hated, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will talk about his age. Therefore, placing it in Yingchuan is also a kind of protection for him, avoiding many unnecessary troubles.

Many ministers in the court can't see through these inside facts, and even Guo Bin himself may not fully understand them, but Zhang Rang, who is always by the side of the Son of Heaven, is like a fire. The Son of Heaven has good intentions for Guo Bin and the Prince, and Guo Bin is the minister left by the Son of Heaven for the Prince. If there is no accident, maybe after the Son of Heaven Yan drives, within ten years, Guo Bin will be able to pay homage to the prime minister and rank as the third duke.

Now, the Son of Heaven's health is not as good as before, although this is a very secret matter, how can he hide it from those close to him? Therefore, a long time ago, the Son of Heaven had already begun to pave the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly.

Otherwise, why is it that the evidence that Empress He poisoned Wang Meiren is simple and clear, but the Son of Heaven did not make a fuss? Is it really the credit of the Ten Constants' efforts to strive for love? Zhang let his family know his own affairs, the Son of Heaven is not an unreasonable child, but he was able to put his own uncle to prison and execute when he was a teenager, how could he really be at the mercy of the ten permanent servants as rumored outside?

At that time, the reason why the Son of Heaven pressed down on Wang Meiren's death was nothing more than Liu Yan, who was eight years old at the time. If his biological mother really became a murderer, after a few years, someone might use this to prevent her from ascending to the throne. The so-called son is more precious than the mother, and the mother is more expensive than the son, where can the biological mother and child be distinguished?

The reason for this situation is not that the Son of Heaven particularly likes his eldest son Liu Bian, but for another reason. Although the Han family is rich all over the world, it is always difficult for the prince in the palace to grow up safely, is it really that the feng shui in the palace is not good, hindering the royal heirs? That's a liar! When Emperor Guangwu founded the country, wouldn't people look at feng shui?

He Zhang Rang has been in the palace for most of his life, what kind of tricks have he not seen? It's not that the feng shui in the palace is bad, but that some people don't want the prince to grow up, otherwise how can those people continue to control the outer court and cover the sky with one hand?

Therefore, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Liu Bian, the prince who has grown to eight years old. Because Liu Bian is not only the eldest son of the emperor, but also the emperor's concubine, he is the most legitimate heir of the Son of Heaven. Ensuring a smooth transition to the throne is the most important thing that a dynasty cares about, and it is also the most important thing for every emperor who understands that his time is short. Therefore, from the battle where the Son of Heaven secretly raised Liu Bian in the Taoist temple and kept him away from the harem, it was actually his protection.

Since Guo Bin first met the saint in the sixth year of Guanghe, the Son of Heaven basically decided that Guo Bin would be regarded as a reserve talent under the prince. With the same treatment, there is Cao Cao, and even Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the Runan Yuan family, who has never been out of office, is also among them. In high-level politics, there are few such surprises. Do you think that before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bian went to Yangzhai under the escort of Yuan Shao and others, and he had nothing to do to hang out?

In the original consideration of the Son of Heaven, Liu Bian went to Yangzhai County for two political purposes.

First, Liu Bian was young, and because he had been raised in Taoist temples since he was a child, he rarely appeared in front of the subjects of the world, so his reputation among the subjects of the world had not yet been established. Therefore, Liu Bian also needs a series of political achievements to prove that he is the legitimate heir of the Son of Heaven, and more importantly, to prove that he is capable of succeeding to the throne of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, Liu Wei went to Yangzhai in order to mix qualifications. He once thought that Liu Bian actually encountered the interception of Taiping Dao on the way to Yangzhai. Originally, the Son of Heaven wanted He Jinjia to send heavy troops to Yangzhai and immediately escort the prince back to Beijing, but Guo Bin not only annihilated the Taiping Dao thieves who came to invade in one fell swoop, but also put all the credit on the prince. This hand is played beautifully, and it can be said that the most important political purpose of the prince's trip to Beijing has been completely achieved.

Second, the reason why the Son of Heaven chose Yangzhai County as the destination of the prince's trip was because the prince was closer to Guo Bin, and it was also the trust of the Son of Heaven in Guo Bin. At present, it seems that this second layer of political purpose has also been achieved. The current crown prince, not only wearing the military uniform of Yangzhai County and learning the new learning taught in the official school of Yangzhai County, but also has a very close relationship with Yangzhai and even the Yingchuan wealthy family. Of course, Guo Bin also made a big effort in this.

Therefore, if Zhang Rang loses his mind and goes crazy, he will oppose Guo Bin, the pillar of the country who is destined to be the patriarch of the two dynasties and even the patriarch of the three dynasties. And when he saw Guo Bin's recital to the Son of Heaven, Fang Hui was apprehensive.

Because he had already planned how to make a big fuss about the fire in Nangong to persuade the Son of Heaven to increase taxes and pay taxes; how to take advantage of the opportunity to repair the garden to loot the people's wealth; How to persuade the Son of Heaven to reopen the West Garden and sell the official titles at a clear price. This pile, piece by piece, is a big deal of hundreds of millions of dollars! It is true that the Son of Heaven gains a large amount, but where can the benefits of his staff be less? What's more, for such a big thing, there are so many opportunities to get up and down, where the Son of Heaven can't see it, the filial piety of the people below, which is not countless silver coins?

However, Guo Bin now even has to intervene in this matter, how can he not let Zhang Rang jump in a hurry?

Guo Bin's twists and turns are not too long, and the most critical part of it reads: "Your Majesty was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and now it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which is broadcast all over the world and famous in the sea. Under the whole world, there is no one to obey. Today, Yang Zhai Construction Co., Ltd. is intimidated by the emperor's prestige, so it is necessary to play the Ming Weichen, and want to ask the Weichen to play on his behalf. The reconstruction of the Nangong is prayed to be undertaken by Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd., and the company is willing to bear the money and materials involved, and I sincerely ask Your Majesty to give in. ”

Zhang Rang saw it, and had the urge to scold his mother: "What 'Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. is afraid of Huangwei'?" What is 'Substitute Turning'? What about the crooks? Isn't this Yang Zhai Construction Co., Ltd. your own property? ”
