It was already deep, Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was still sitting in the side hall, and Wang Jun was sitting on the table in front of the two, with a bottle of wine, a large piece of roasted mutton, and a plate of pickled dried radish. The two of them ate and drank with a sip of wine and meat, and then a piece of dried radish appeared, and a childlike excitement appeared on the emperor's face, as if eating like this was more pleasant than eating those carefully prepared imperial meals.

It is a big taboo to hold a knife in front of the king, but Wang Jun didn't care, he took a fast-sharpened knife and cut off a piece of meat with a big grin, and put it in his mouth with an oily hand to chew it.

“…… Brother Xiufeng, what kind of way does this Li Wenge look? Guo Wei took a sip of the wine in the cup and asked with his eyes closed.

"The number of roads? I don't know how high the sky is, I don't know how thick the ground is, such an arrogant posterity, and I owe you to take him as a treasure......" Wang Jun had meat in his mouth, and he was vague.

Guo Wei shook his head slightly: "Arrogance——? Do you think he's talking big? ”

"Isn't it?" Wang Jun said coldly, "How many years have we been in the army, three hundred people, hehe, if he is really too strong, or are we old men useless?" ”

Guo Wei said lightly: "How many Yeji rebels are there in total who cut off the salt road?" You know what? ”

Wang Jun cut another piece of meat, shook his head while eating, and said, "I don't know, this is thousands of miles away, and bastards like Guo Yanqin are unreliable, how did you know now?" ”

Guo Wei nodded and sighed: "Yes, we don't know. Perhaps—what do the afterlife really know? ”

Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Does he know the truth about the rebellion in the Yeji clan?" ”

Guo Wei smiled: "In the first half of last year, didn't Bao Yi go to the northwest?" At that time, Zhe Congruan once told him that Guo Yanqin scraped the ground really badly, and the Yeji people in Gyeongju were about to move, and the road was not smooth, and he also sent a hundred soldiers to escort him to Lingzhou...... In fact, I will talk about it when I come back. I already knew that the situation in Gyeongju was not good. However, in the end, I didn't expect that the Yeji clan could really be forced to rebel. Especially after October last year, Zhe Kejiu and the later Yinzhou victory, I think that with them in Guanzhong, even if it is a little messy, it will not be able to make trouble after all......"

"Why didn't you say it sooner if you already knew it?" Wang Jun's face suddenly changed color, and he was embarrassed in every way today. is all because of this Guo Yanqin, so when he heard Guo Wei knew that Guo Yanqin was greedy earlier, he was naturally ashamed and angry, ashamed of how he could look away, but what was annoyed was that Guo Wei knew that this person was like this but refused to remind himself to watch his jokes.

"I said it earlier, will you believe it?" Guo Wei said lightly, and immediately choked Wang Jun.

At that time, Guo was appointed as the assassin of Gyeongju, and Feng Linggong refused to sign it. How did you make a fuss at the time? Remember? Brother Xiufeng? Guo Weidi's words became more and more faint. But it made Wang Jun feel even more ashamed.

He argued: "The world is your land, do you want to stop him, can I stop it?" Again. How important is the civil affairs of a state, just because of me, you, the emperor, ignore it and pretend to be deaf and dumb, is this the way to govern? Everyone in the world can hide things, but you can't hide from things! ”

Guo Wei's mood, which had already calmed down, suddenly became a trace of bitterness: "Brother Xiufeng, do you remember that I am the Son of Heaven at this time?" Do you want to get it on a weekday? If you want to be in charge, I will let you be the ruler, and if you want to be a ruler, I will let you be a ruler. You are already a privy envoy yourself, and you still want to be the prime minister, so I let you do it...... Brother Xiufeng, you keep saying that this world is my family, why don't you think about it, brother, do I still have a home? ”

One sentence hooked the heart, and Da Zhou Tianzi leaned on the bed and burst into tears.

"One hundred and sixty-eight...... Brother Xiufeng, men, women, old and young, servants and maidservants add up to one hundred and sixty-eight lives...... Bloody ...... Brother Xiufeng, you said that this world is my home, where is my home? ”

Wang Jun looked dumbly at the Son of Heaven who was crying with tears in his eyes, and couldn't say a word anymore.

"No matter how magnificent this palace is, can it be worthy of his wife and children's parents?"

Guo Wei spoke for a long time, and then slowly calmed down, and said with a wry smile in his hoarse voice.

"Brother Xiufeng, for more than two years, I have been unwilling to disobey you everywhere, not because of the side. My family is gone, and there are only brothers left around me, and I don't want to lose my brothers...... Do you understand, Brother Xiufeng? When people live to my part, they can be regarded as the pinnacle, and the previous emperors were all called lonely...... I, the emperor, am really widowed and lonely, flipping through the history books, Brother Xiufeng, less than three generations, is there such a desolate son of heaven as me? Guo Wei said lightly, without any seriousness in his tone, it was completely a veteran complaining to his brother Paoze, but Wang Jun gradually heard another meaning.

"Wen Zhong, since you said this, I will advise you again, hurry up and take more concubines, your Guo family will always leave the roots of inheriting the unification. Your nominal son now, after all, his surname is Chai and not Guo, don't feel the same, it is not the same thing from the root, how long has Tang Mingzong's matter passed, Yin Jian is not far away, you have to see it clearly, don't let the juniors confuse your heart with a few sweet words. This country is your family land, and your surname is Guo, and you can't let the surname firewood land be occupied, understand? Wang Jun patted Guo Wei's regular clothes embroidered with twelve chapters with his oily big hand, and said bitterly.

Guo Wei lowered his head and said with drunken eyes: "...... the world?" Landscape......? What is the use of Lao Tzu? If you can't eat or wear it, your wife is gone, your son is gone, your daughter is gone, your son-in-law is gone, it's all gone, what's the use of asking for a jade seal and a Yan's suit? As a soldier and eat food, Lao Tzu was born to suffer hardships, Lao Tzu admitted, but he has nothing to do with Lao Tzu's family......"

Seeing that the emperor was becoming more and more incoherent, Wang Jun frowned, he had to stand up and say, "Wen Zhong, you are drunk, hurry back to the palace to rest, I will resign......"

Saying that, Wang Jun walked to the door of the hall and summoned two yellow doors, and they sent Guo Wei back to the palace, and Guo Wei was still shouting: "Lao Tzu is not drunk!" The two little yellow doors called a few more things. Zhao Kuangyin led a team of guards to guard the former Si Ban Army of the Holy Driving Temple, immediately followed, surrounded the shoulders in the center, bypassed the side hall and went straight to the harem dormitory.

Wang Jun didn't see Guo Wei's Luan driving disappear from view, then he slowly walked towards the direction of Xihua Gate.

A group of guards and Huangmen had just carried Guo Wei around the Gongchen Palace, and the emperor, who was originally piled up like a puddle of mud, suddenly sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Fall——! ”

The crowd was taken aback. Hesitating. Guo Weisen's cold gaze had already swept over: "What." Didn't hear it? ”

A few of the Yellow Gates who were carrying their chariots suddenly broke out in sweat, and hurriedly fell to their chariots, and then they knelt on the ground one after another, only twelve forbidden army warriors under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin still vigilantly put out a formation that was conducive to defense. Guo Wei nodded secretly, but opened his mouth and said: "The underground hall on duty will stay straight, and the rest of the people will all walk a hundred steps away, and they are not allowed to look this way." Violators, don't blame me for the speed of the knife. ”

When the warriors and the Yellow Gate had gone far, Guo Wei turned his gaze to Zhao Kuangyin, who was full of panic and didn't know what to do, and lowered his voice: "Yuen Long, you are a strong man, you should make meritorious service in front of the battle, I put you in the forbidden army and wronged you......"

Zhao Kuangyin immediately knelt down on one knee: "Don't dare to be humble." Everywhere is for His Majesty. Kuang Yin didn't dare to be resentful! ”

Wei smiled: "Your father and son are both on errands in the forbidden army, as the saying goes, father and son soldiers are in battle." Although the brother is good, he can only bully and bully the sick cat, and when it really comes to a critical time, the father and son are still reliable......"

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment, the emperor's words seemed to have another deep meaning, he didn't dare to take it, but just bent down and secretly thought about it. Fortunately, Guo Wei didn't expect him to reply, so he paused and continued: "I saw your father a few days ago, he is also old, I don't want him to send another errand, and I should thank you for being a father, what kind of errand is sent, or the sons are strong and do ...... job"

Zhao Kuangyin carefully smacked the taste in his words, and replied in his mouth: "Your Majesty has sent something but to give orders, Kuangyin will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!" ”

Guo Wei nodded and said softly: "Your father is on duty in the imperial city tonight, and I am going to call him to the harem to talk to me and talk about the old days......"

Zhao Kuangyin was very strange, his father Zhao Hongyin was not Guo Weidi's old friend, when Guo Wei entered Beijing, he still persuaded his father to surrender to be today's son. Therefore, it is not strange for Guo Wei to talk to Wang Jun about the past, but it is very strange to find his father inexplicably. He was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, Guo Wei had already opened his mouth slowly.

"I and your father are talking in the palace for this time, and I want to ask your father's son to go to Lanzhou to send a message to my son......"

“……”

Sweat flowed down Zhao Kuangyin's back spine.

After silently listening to the content of Guo Wei's message, Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Your Majesty, how can the Marquis of Taiyuan trust Weichen?" ”

Guo Wei stretched out his hand and took out a jade ornament from his bosom that was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary, and rubbed it in his hand for a long time on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before handing it to Zhao Kuangyin very preciously, and said softly: "Show him this, he will believe in your ......."

Zhao Kuangyin respectfully took the jade ornament, and secretly slandered in his heart, this is not only the style of the plop, the workmanship is also rough, and even the jewelry is missing a corner, how to look like a royal item, anyone who sees this thing will be thrown away as a stall, Taiyuan Hou will believe in his identity when he sees this thing? Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it.

However, after all, he did not dare to openly question Guo Wei's authority, and the emperor gave him something from the earth, even if it was ordinary, it was also an imperial gift.

At that moment, Zhao Kuangyin knelt down and took the order, and then called a deputy squad leader, carefully told him two sentences to be regarded as handing over the shift, and was about to turn around and go back to the Imperial Horse Prison to get his horse, Guo Wei turned his head and said lightly to him: "This errand is well done, you can get your prosperity in this life, and you can also get promoted and make money, if something is bad, my father and son will only meet later, and your father and son will not have the opportunity to meet again in this life!" ”

……

Zhao Kuangyin went out of the palace and was about to go straight to the city gate to go out of the city, when he suddenly thought that he had asked Li Wenge to eat and drink in the Iron Scrap Building the day after tomorrow, and he was in a hurry, he was doing a confidential matter, and he couldn't let anyone know, so naturally he couldn't tell those righteous brothers that he was leaving Beijing, and it was too disrespectful to send his entourage to inform Li Wenge, and he calculated the hour in a hurry. Urging the horse to go straight to Jingdong Station.

When he came to the post station, he showed the order that could only be called by the front secretary of the palace for urgent official business, and ordered: "Prepare six horses, as well as dry food and water bags, if it is not handled properly within a quarter of an hour, your official will not do it!" ”

That Yicheng is just an eighth-grade official, so naturally he can't afford to provoke the seventh-grade poor of his former secretary of the palace, so he hurriedly handled it properly, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't say much, urging the horse to gallop into the deep night.

……

Early the next morning, Wang Jun came to the Privy Council in the imperial city, and just after reviewing two military documents, a Chinese scholar walked in, saluted and said: "Wang Xianggong, Feng Linggong is now in the Chinese book, there are important matters to discuss, please pass the Zhongshu discussion......

Wang Jun was stunned, Feng Dao was ordered to visit every three days, the old man was tired enough on the Shangyuan Festival yesterday, it stands to reason that he would have to rest in the mansion for a few days, and today he suddenly went to Zhongshu, but he didn't know what urgent matters were.

He thought about it, but he didn't know the point, and immediately said: "You go back and pass the ceremony, and I will go over later!" ”

Sent away the Tongshi Sheren, he tidied up his clothes, explained a few words to Zheng Renzhi, slowly walked out of the Privy Council, walked in the direction of the imperial city, and just walked to the heavenly street, he saw Qi of Honglu Temple leading a young purple-robed man Shi Shi to come, and he was still talking: "...... The general doesn't know, these Hu merchants are still law-abiding on weekdays, but some customs are really weird, don't believe in Buddhism and don't worship Taoism, and make some strange gods confuse the public, the temple in Chang'an in the old days is now dilapidated, these two monks from the Western Regions are going to build a temple in Tokyo, the general knows, this is about the matter of education, don't say lowly duties, before the book is not agreed, even the Ministry of Rites does not dare to agree without authorization, this thing is not big, but it is not small......"

Wang Jun saw it clearly, that young man was the Eighth Route Army who made him almost half angry yesterday Li Wenge.

At this moment, Li Wenge and Qi had already seen him, and Li Wenge bowed down and saluted him: "I've seen Wang Xianggong!" ”

Qi fell to his knees and saluted Wang Jun to the court, and then got up, Wang Jun didn't look at him, only squinted his eyes at Li Wenge for a long time, and said slowly: "General Li is very early......

Li Wenge's face was calm, and he nodded and said: "Your Majesty has a will, and I and Lord Zheng will discuss a strategy today, and the last general will not dare to neglect the king's affairs, so naturally he will come earlier!" ”

Wang Jun laughed: "Okay! Good! Sure enough, the hero is a young man, and a certain family wants to see what it is like to be able to quell the rebellion with 300 soldiers! ”

Li Wenge didn't answer his words, but just reminded lightly: "Be careful, military affairs are important, and it is not appropriate to leak them in public." Leaking the forbidden Chinese language is the prime minister's crime! ”

Wang Jun snorted coldly: "The general has the ability to impeach a certain family, see if a certain family is afraid!" ”

As he spoke, he swaggered past Li Wenge.

Li Wenge looked at his background, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "It's a pity that the last general is not the imperial history ......."

Wang Jun snorted coldly, but did not look back, Li Wenge also continued to step forward nonchalantly, but Qi on the side asked with some concern: "Great general, Wang Xianggong will report it, there is no Chinese Wu who does not know his nature, you are so openly offended by him, I am afraid that the Privy Council will be embarrassed everywhere in the future!" ”

Li Wenge strode forward and chuckled: "I am a general from another town, even if Wang Xianggong is not satisfied, it is not easy to remove me!" ”

Qi sighed: "That being said, after all, the general has not been in the capital for a long time, but Wang Xianggong meets the emperor in the center every day, and some words are said once or twice, the emperor may not go to his heart, but it is difficult to say too much, and the general is still careful." ”

Li Wenge shrugged his shoulders: "If Wang Xiufeng can help me, he would have already killed me when I was a little Xuanjie lieutenant last spring, and now that everything in Yanzhou has been decided, he has no chance!" ”

"Besides—" Li Wenge suddenly stopped, glanced back coldly, and slowly said something that made Qi's heart tremble: "Do you think he will be able to stay in the phase for how long...... ”
