Back in Xihe Township, Zhang Ting handed over a secret report, which was written by Fan Xin. He decided not to return to Xihe Township for the time being, but to continue to rectify the men and horses and seize Longxi County.

"Tell him to come back alive!" There will be no exemption from military orders abroad. Now that the weather is freezing, it is really difficult to dispatch Fan Xin, who is separated by hundreds of miles and dozens of mountains, so he can only toss it himself.

In winter, there is nothing to do, Guo Yi plays chess and competes with Yan Hua every day, which is to kill time. Sometimes I miss Zhao Rou in my heart, so I write a letter back home, which is too difficult to endure thousands of miles away. There is no shortage of women around, but they are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and this ordinary wild vegetable can't be eaten.

Luoyang, West Garden.

Zhang Rang sealed an edict, handed it to Zhao Liu, and instructed: "Quickly go to Guo Yi's army to explore the truth and truth." ”

"No." Zhao Liu received the edict and left quickly. He has now successfully gained the trust of the Ten Standing Attendants, and as a key training object, his status in the palace has skyrocketed.

When he left the palace, he happened to meet Wang Zhi, who bowed his head and bowed his waist to respect him.

Zhao Liu was triumphant and said with a smile: "How is Guo Guiren in the palace?" ”

Wang Zhibi said respectfully: "Lord Hui, everything is fine." ”

"Huh." Zhao Liuda laughed, since Guo Yi was crowned General Pingxi, Guo Guiren's treatment has plummeted, he can't enter the West Garden, his salary has been halved, and even his daily life is difficult. The emperor's intention to belittle Guo Yi is already known in the palace, and when Guo Yi comes back, there will be only one head left.

"I think you're better clever and find your way out sooner. Guo Yi couldn't be trusted. ”

Wang Zhi just lowered his head, "Thank you, for the mention." ”

Zhao Liuda smiled and left. Wang Zhi hurriedly trotted all the way back to the palace and reported the situation to Guo Guiren.

Guo Guiren's heart was like ashes when he heard this, he sat down on the kang and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Guo Yi lost power, so it was impossible for the emperor to pay attention to her anymore, and Empress He had been suppressing her. The days in this palace are not as comfortable as before the luck.

Wang Zhi said in a low voice: "Your honor, we have less money this month. ...... go on like this."

Guo Guiren was stunned for a moment, and understood what he meant, if you don't have money, who will take care of you?

Wang Lian was surprised: "Where do you want to go?" ”

Wang Zhi bowed his head and said helplessly: "It's been a bit impossible to open the pot these days." ”

Wang Lian didn't know how to say that the life of the two brothers was indeed too hard. I thought that the situation would get better after Guo Yi came back, but now it's no show.

Guo Guiren waved his hand, and he also saved face for himself, and said helplessly: "If you want to go, you can go." General Guo is kind to you, as long as you don't fall into the well and harm him, it will be regarded as repaying the favor. ”

Wang Lian couldn't pull his face, "Noble." This ......"

Guo Guiren shook his head and sighed, "Let's go." Without you, I can have more money to spare. ”

"Yes." The two brothers will not continue to be polite, this is also a helpless thing, the master is not good, and the slaves will naturally disperse.

Guo Guiren suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there any news from Feng Xiao?" ”

"I went to the address and found only one woman's lonely grave, which belonged to the woman he had abducted. But Guo Fengxiao himself is nowhere to be found, and there is no way to find out. ”

"Forget it." Guo Guiren was also so angry in his heart, this clan brother was too ignorant. actually dared to let Guo Yi carry the black pot for him, and he escaped without a trace.

After thinking about it, he picked up a pen and paper, wrote a letter to his family, and handed it to Wang Zhi to send back to Yingchuan, "This is the last thing you helped me do." ”

"No."

Brother Wang Zhi packed up his things and left, but was stopped and interrogated by Da Changqiu, so he explained everything.

Da Changqiu took the letter and ordered: "This matter must not be leaked, otherwise your heads will fall to the ground." ”

"Yes." Brother Wang Zhi dared to talk nonsense at this time, so he could only agree to it.

Da Changqiu returned to Changqiu Palace, presented the letter to Empress He, reported some things that happened in the palace today, and said suspiciously: "Zhao Liu went to Xiliang to pass the decree, I don't know how the emperor wants to deal with Guo Yi's unauthorized peace." ”

Empress He opened Guo Guiren's family letter and read it carefully, but the content was nothing, she just hoped that Yingchuan Guo could send someone to give advice to Guo Yi, and at the same time blame Guo Jia for not following the rules and framing his own family.

Empress He burned the letter and ordered: "Go and find a few more charges for that slut, and demote her position again." ”

"No." Da Changqiu agreed, and then asked, "What about Guo Yi?" ”

"When Zhao Liu comes back, you knock him twice, don't let him forget who pushed him to the Ten Standing Attendants." Empress He sneered, gritted her teeth and said, "Go and invite the general into the palace to discuss matters, he knows better about the things outside." ”

"No."

When Da Changqiu arrived at the General's Mansion, He Jin was discussing with Yuan Shao and others, and the singing and dancing in the mansion was leveling, and there was a beautiful sound.

Seeing that Da Changqiu was coming, He Jin hurriedly got up, took a fold that had been prepared a long time ago, signaled the guests to disperse, and entered the palace with Da Changqiu.

Yuan Shao saw He Jin leave at the door and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Guo Tu said: "I want to discuss whether Guo Yi is available." ”

Yuan Shao frowned and asked, "Has Guo Yi changed?" ”

"He crossed Huangfu Song and joined forces with Dong Zhuo, this matter can be big or small." Guo Tu couldn't figure out Guo Yi's specific intentions for a while, according to common sense, Guo Yi would never do this kind of thing that put him at a disadvantage. Crossing the main general and negotiating peace privately, both of these are serious crimes, and Guo Yi actually did it all at once.

"Let them be." Yuan Shao sneered, and said with a good expression: "The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and they are just afraid that it won't be long before they toss." ”

Guo Tu sighed lightly when he heard this, he could see Yuan Shao's temper clearly, and this person was only afraid that he would have to take a lot of detours. Fortunately, there are many people under him, so I guess I can help him to make a big deal.

"Oh, yes." Yuan Shao smiled and said, "You go to Guo's house to deliver a letter, and by the way, you can also send some food." ”

"No."

In Changqiu Palace, He Jin swaggered out of the carriage. Queen He nested on the kang to keep warm, and did not get up to greet her.

He Jin presented the fold to her and sat down by himself, "Sister, Guo Yi is not in a hurry to do so, the emperor will not deal with him." ”

After reading the excerpt, Queen He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm afraid that the ten permanent servants will be cheating." ”

He Jin said angrily: "Guo Yi is a courtier, you can't get too close to him, so as not to give birth to gossip." ”

Empress He frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

He Jin deliberately reminded Queen He, and said bluntly: "It is rumored that Guo Yi will stay in the dragon bed at night." ”

Queen He's face changed greatly, and she said angrily: "Who dares to confuse the public with evil words? ”

He Jin waved his hand, "Don't be angry, these are just rumors." But if the emperor hears it, it will not be good after all, so you have to pay attention. ”

Empress He sneered and diverted the topic: "In your opinion, when will Huangfu Song return triumphantly?" ”

"About April."

"What reward will Guo Yi have?"

"It's probably the position of Jiuqing."

Empress He thought about it, Jiuqing was already the highest position for a young man who was less than twenty years old. Presumably, Guo Yi will not have any dissatisfaction, not to mention that he can be closer to him if he stays in Luoyang. Emperor Han Ling can't play with women now, and the day of his death is not far away, and he will be the queen mother at that time, even if Guo Yi is allowed to live in Changle Palace, who in the world dares to gossip?

The key at present is whether He Jin can guarantee that Liu Wei will be put on the throne? Emperor Han Ling's health is no longer good, and the matter of establishing a new monarch is already on the agenda! Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is obviously inclined to establish Liu Xie, and in the past three days, he has called Liu Xie over to ask for warmth, ignoring Liu Wei, if something goes wrong, they He Jia Ke will really become the next Dou clan.

"The general should take the matter of arguing to heart."

"Definitely." This matter is related to the honor and disgrace of the He family, He Jin will naturally go all out, and said confidently: "The emperor has already started to arrange the matter of the captain of the West Garden, and I will select Zhongliang from among the courtiers to serve as the leader, even if the eunuch is the head, he can also check and balance one or two." ”

"Then I'm relieved." Empress He thought in her heart that she had to find an opportunity to let Zhao Liu take the position and take the position of captain of Xiyuan. Guo Yi's advice to her is her first choice, the military power must be in her own hands!
