Waiting for Xun Yu to walk through the corner, Fan Xin muttered: "This person is arrogant and disdainful of associating with us." ”

"yes." Guo Yi can only sigh, his background is a big problem! Now that there are still dramas in the Han family, these families who are loyal to the Han family will naturally not treat the children of the Han family differently. Although Guo Yi has made a lot of fame, he is still bad after all, and there is still a class difference between him and the scholars.

"You go and arrange the opening of the mansion first, and I will go to visit the Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He, and consult about the prince's class."

Fan Xin asked in a low voice: "Lord, do we really want to support Liu Xie?" ”

"What are the benefits of supporting Liu Wei?" Guo Yi thought very clearly, what he wanted was to divide the heroes! Only in this way can there be an opportunity to rebel and chase the Central Plains. Therefore, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to disrupt the government, he had to ensure that the current situation moved in the direction of history as much as possible. Among them, it doesn't matter if you are promoted, demoted, entered Beijing, or released. As long as the world is just right, it's just right!

"It's useless to talk too much, just do these things when you see the opportunity."

Fan Xin nodded, his main task was to help Guo Yi deal with internal affairs, and he didn't need to think too much about the general direction.

First go to Changle Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Dong, she is about fifty years old, her temples already have white hair, she is wearing a heavy court dress and sitting on a high seat, looking down at Guo Yi who bows and salutes.

"How old is Lord Guo this year?"

"Wechen is eighteen years old."

"At the age of eighteen, he became an official to Jiuqing, which is amazing!" Empress Dowager Dong sneered, for Guo Yi, her most intuitive impression was the battle when he defeated Wang Yue, and she knew that this person was strong in martial arts. As for nicknames such as "Guo Luban", "Qianlong Dragon", and "Guoshi", she has also heard of it, and she only thinks that the scholars praise each other, and she is just in name.

"Does Mrs. Guo have ancestors who are officials in the court?"

Guo Yi said: "Since the ancestor of Xuanzu, there have been no generations of people. ”

"Who's the wife?"

"Wechen has never taken a wife."

"That must be a guest from a famous family."

"Fan Xin is just the son of a businessman."

Empress Dowager Dong's face turned cold all of a sudden, and she said unceremoniously: "Bai Ding's pawns dare to come to my Changle Palace?" Get out! ”

"It's rude." Guo Yi smiled and stood up straight, looking at her with his head held high, the mother of the concubine of the vassal king entered the court with her son and became the queen mother, and she is the type of dog who looks down on people in her bones. That's right, in this era of paying attention to background and family background, a child of a poor family like Guo Yi is indeed not worthy of appearing in Changle Palace. "Wechen retired."

Driving Guo Yi away, Empress Dowager Dong flicked her sleeves violently and swept the teacup to the ground, so frightened that the palace maid on the side quickly knelt down and picked up the pieces. Empress Dowager Dong raised her foot and kicked her to the ground, cursing: "Cheap skin! ”

The palace maid was only resigned, where did she dare to be dissatisfied, so she could only kneel down again and continue to lower her head to pick up the pieces.

It just so happened that Zhang Rang came, and when he saw the palace maid kneeling on the ground, the anger on the face of the Empress Dowager Dong was still unsubsidy, and she hurriedly stepped forward flatteringly, "Which one of these people provoked the Queen Mother with no long eyes?" ”

When Empress Dowager Dong saw Zhang Rang's face, she immediately showed a smile and said coldly: "A country boy has been kicked out by the mourning family." ”

"Oh?" When Zhang Rang heard this, he remembered that he had just passed by Guo Yi with a smile on his face, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Queen Mother!" But Mrs. Guo came here just now? ”

Empress Dowager Dong is inexplicable, how can Zhang Rang not be able to tell the difference between a master and a servant? Disdainfully: "That pig-killing thinks the mourning family doesn't know?" Relying on his own pose, hook up with the courtiers! It's just that a famous family would take a fancy to her as a pig killer, and this country boy has never seen a woman. ”

Zhang Rang immediately understood, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a panicked expression: "Queen Mother, go and send someone to invite Mrs. Guo back!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong said strangely: "Why? ”

Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, Mrs. Guo only came back from Liangzhou today. After a secret conversation with the emperor, he was named the crown prince, the general of Wei, the ruling Jinwu, and the servant! You can open a government to govern ......"

"The Crown Prince?!" Empress Dowager Dong interrupted Zhang Rang's words, grabbed his wrist, and asked sharply, "Which prince to teach?" ”

The so-called prince and master are the prince's teacher. The crown prince bowed to his disciples. When the crown prince ascended the throne, he changed his name: Taifu. Ranked as a prince, at the same level as the general, he directly participates in the formulation and decision-making of military affairs! This position is a lifelong position, and there was only one Taifu during the reign of an emperor, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there was no prime minister, the Taifu was the de facto prime minister. When the emperor was young or the imperial family was weak, the Taifu was the de facto supreme ruler!

If you really want to talk about it, Taifu is one notch higher than the general. The generals were usually held by relatives, and they were often liquidated after the emperor took office, and the family was exterminated, and the chickens and dogs were not left. And Taifu, unless he rebelled, no one would dare to touch him. If he encounters a powerful Taifu, the general can only bow his head!

However, due to the fact that the prince and the prince usually select the knowledgeable and respected Confucian, they are basically forty or fifty years old, and when the prince ascends the throne as the emperor, the prince is also dying of old age, and enjoys a few years of honor and then drives to the west. So although this position is honorable, it is basically empty.

In addition, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty in recent generations are all young children selected from among the vassal kings, and the Taifu is dispensable.

For Empress Dowager Dong, the importance of Guo Yi lies in the fact that his student is the prince! The education of the previous two princes was jointly undertaken by a group of Confucians, prominent clans, and clans such as Lu Zhi, Yuan Kui, and Liu Yan, but none of them had the official title of prince and concubine.

Since the crown prince and the prince have been established today, it is clear that the candidate for the prince is clear!

Zhang Rang lowered his eyebrows and pleaded: "The Queen Mother is not in a hurry. The emperor's intention was to let Guo Yi teach the two princes at the same time. ”

"Two?!" Empress Dowager Dong was greatly surprised and puzzled: "Why is this? Tell me clearly! ”

Zhang Rang nodded, and quickly explained: "Today, the emperor and Mrs. Guo had a secret talk about this decision. According to the humble opinion of the slaves, I am afraid that it is necessary to examine the conduct and knowledge of the two princes, so as to facilitate the establishment of the prince. ”

Empress Dowager Dong sneered disdainfully and sneered: "Conduct and knowledge? It's his turn to be a country kid to investigate? It's almost the same to let Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhilai come! ”

"Queen Mother!" Zhang Rang was also anxious, this woman really has long hair and short knowledge, and she was born to be the life of a princess! Helplessly, he said: "Mrs. Guo is a famous man in the world, a national warrior, and a well-known person at home." Poetry and songs, Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, and there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed in poetry and literature, but he is the number one person today! The Queen Mother is so contemptuous, I'm afraid that it will ruin Dong Hou's big thing! ”

Empress Dowager Dong thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, and still said disdainfully: "He is a hairy boy who has no foundation in the court, what can he do?" ”

"That's a mistake!" Zhang Rang really convinced her, if he didn't have a choice, he really didn't want to cooperate with her, the woman who killed the pig next door had a lot of brains!

"Queen Mother. In the past, Taifu was useless, it was old age and weakness. Now Mrs. Guo is in the prime of life, and the two princes are still young. may have been assisted by the emperor all his life. What's more, Guo Taifu fought in the south and the north, leveled the yellow scarf, and Dingxi Liang, and made outstanding military achievements. He is also good at poetry and scriptures, and all the scholars in the world praise him, and they all learn from him. He is also good at strange skills and ingenuity, and the craftsmen of the world are regarded as 'Luban'. Fame, talent, martial arts, which one is not better than a hundred times? ”

After a pause, Zhang Rang smiled and asked, "According to the Queen Mother's opinion, what is the foundation of He Jin?" Who is in charge of the DPRK and China now? ”

Empress Dowager Dong understood this time. He Jin, the one who killed the pig, was able to lean towards the government and the opposition, making her helpless. replaced Guo Yi, a person with obvious ability of several grades higher, to take power, then in this world, it is his surname Guo who has the final say.

hurriedly said: "Go and invite Taifu!" ”
