Chapter 47: Resolute and resolute
The second master didn't want to think about it, he was very annoyed about these things, and said directly, "Forget it, I don't want him, I didn't have this heart originally, but this time I saw that even the third child was given a chance, and I felt a little uncomfortable."
The princess continued, "Husband, don't look at the current appearance of the third uncle, the third uncle is actually very dangerous, this time the third uncle is okay if he doesn't have a mind, if he has a mind that he shouldn't have, it will be difficult."
Guo Jun raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say?"
The princess said, "Your Majesty's candidate has been determined, but there is still something to do, that is, to pave the way for the new monarch, and to clear up some potential threats before the new monarch ascends the throne, the third uncle is the elder brother of the seventeenth uncle, if the third uncle has a bad mind in the back, it is estimated that the seventeenth uncle is in a dilemma, and now His Majesty has asked the third uncle to hold a banquet, and what he is fishing for is the ambition in the third uncle's heart, if there is no ambition, it is good, if there is ambition, it will be cleaned up" After the princess finished speaking, Guo Jun took a deep breath, the emperor's means are invincible.
During these days, there is an endless stream of officials who come up to visit the third master's mansion, and the third master is also a little fluttering, the father who was in charge of the things that the prince was responsible for in the past was handed over to him to be responsible, could it be that the father took a fancy to him, shouldn't it, and the second brother, how could he choose himself, Guo Zhong asked himself if he was still inferior to Guo Jun.
The seventeenth brother is a martial idiot in retreat, and he wants to go into the palace to ask his mother's opinion, and he is also told that the queen recites scriptures and prays with his mother, and no one is seen, but the third master always has a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and the princess will only come back two days after returning to her parents' house, and she doesn't even have a person to discuss, and sometimes she is anxious to scratch her head.
In fact, Concubine De knew the emperor's intentions before chanting and praying with the queen, after such a fierce struggle in the harem, would she not understand, but there was no way to say it, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, which involved her two sons, in the words of the queen, hand it over to Providence, I hope the third child can pass this pass safely.
This will scratch their heads is not only the third Guo Zhong, but also some ministers, to be honest, originally except for the second prince Guo Jun and the seventeenth prince Guo Xing, they really don't look down on the other princes, but this time the emperor pushed the third child out, they couldn't understand it, and if they did, they buried themselves deeper, watching the play on the side, and the heart that they couldn't understand was uncomfortable, and they were entangled in whether they moved or not.
I can't discuss this matter with others, I can only think about it slowly, there is a person who has stepped down here to see it clearly, and he is also involved in it, this person is not someone else, the old pavilion old Yu Xuan who officially retired, the Nine Emperors is his grandson-in-law, can the old man not be in a hurry, after the three dynasties, the old pavilion always knows the danger in this, and now he sees that the emperor ruthlessly involves the third master Guo Zhong and knows that it is almost time.
The old man is anxious, his son, granddaughter involved in the inside, can it be good, when he wanted to marry his granddaughter to the Nine Emperors, the old man disagreed, it was the emperor who came forward, the old man had no choice, the prince was also there, the Nine Emperors had no ambitions, and he was relieved, how do you know that now his son has been fascinated, and he can't listen to his own words, and the old man is about to die.
No, his home can't just fall like this, the old man gritted his teeth and went directly to the emperor, the reason is that his time is running out, he wants to see the emperor for the last time, the emperor knows what the old man means, but he can't see it, after all, the old pavilion has been assisting him for decades, and he met the old man in the imperial study, Yu Xuan knelt down when he saw the emperor, crying silently, not speaking, and not getting up when he screamed.
In the end, Emperor Guo Wei really had no choice, and said directly, "Old Ge Lao, you take your second son back to your hometown, for the sake of the Great Jin, there is only so much I can do."
Yu Xuan knew what the emperor meant, that is, you and your second son go back to their hometown, and the eldest son, you will not be involved, but from now on, you can't participate.
Knowing that this is the emperor's biggest concession, this time the emperor is determined to even pack up his sons, Lao Ge always kowtows to thank him, goes out of the palace, and the next day he leaves Beijing with his second son and returns to his hometown.
Guo Xing came out for a day during the retreat, and after Zhou Quan reported the matter of the third master, Guo Xing wanted to go to the emperor, but in the end he endured it and said to Zhou Quan, "You go to the post house and tell Su Hu and Wang Han that they are probably going to spend the New Year in Beijing this year, and the errand can only be said after the New Year, see if they need to take their family members over, if so, you will do your best to help with it" Guo Xing continued to retreat after explaining.
When the third princess came back from a family visit, the third master was excited, and the flattery of the officials made Guo Zhong really unconscious, the third princess was a woman with great wisdom, and it only took half a day to figure out the key, and I felt a chill when I saw the third master Guo Zhong still floating there.
I thought in my heart, the royal battle for the prince is really cruel, even his own prince, who is usually relatively sober, now he doesn't know that the catastrophe is coming, thinking of this, the princess is a burst of resentment in her heart, her own prince is usually low-key, why doesn't the emperor let him go.
That night, in the study of the third master Guo Zhong, Guo Zhong pondered in the study after sending away a bunch of officials, the princess came and brought lotus seed soup to the third master, Guo Zhong took it and said, "I haven't slept yet, are we arguing with you."
The princess smiled and said, "No, I just want to ask the prince, how are you doing these days", the old husband and wife, Guo Zhong knew that his princess had something to say when he heard it.
After sending the scared people out, he said, "Since I received this errand, the king has always felt a little uneasy in his heart, but I don't know why" After speaking, the third master still looked like he was thinking, and the princess was also distressed for a while, thinking about whether to tell the third master directly, don't say it, I'm afraid that the third master will go the wrong way, just say it, I'm afraid that the third master won't be able to stand the blow, the third master Guo Zhong is also a smart person, just look at the princess's appearance.
Guo Zhong said directly, "You and I are husband and wife, what can I say directly."
After thinking about it, the princess thought that this matter had to be said directly, and now Guo Zhong had the idea of going the wrong way, and he had to be sobered up, so he told Guo Zhong what he had guessed, Guo Zhong was pale after listening, so dangerous, thinking back to what he had done these days, it was a little bit of a positive slide towards the abyss, and the princess was afraid that Guo Zhong would not be able to accept it, and explained, "This is all my blind thinking, maybe it's not like this."
Guo Zhong took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to say it, it must be like this" Everyone in the world has a magic barrier, once the magic barrier is cleared, it will be clearer than anyone else, Guo Zhong can see it clearly now.
However, Guo Zhong didn't blame Guo Xing, nor did he blame the emperor, there are some things that he can't escape as a prince, understand the emperor's intentions, Guo Zhong hugged his princess, and was very grateful in his heart, if it wasn't for his own princess, he didn't know how many traps he had stepped into.
The year-end banquet was held as scheduled, the performance of the third master was decent, there was nothing out of the ordinary, and there was nothing wrong, the next day after the banquet, Guo Zhong found the emperor, saying that there were several local accounting problems in his hotel, and he asked to go out of Beijing to check the accounts, the emperor looked at the third child and said, "You go, you are allowed to go out of Beijing."
If the emperor agrees to go out, it means that Guo Zhong has passed this pass, and if he does not agree to go out of Beijing, it will be dangerous, and Guo Zhong's heart is put down when he hears the emperor's consent, and he went out after seeing the emperor. The third master's clearance made many people breathe a sigh of relief, especially Concubine De.
This year, Guo Xing spent his time in retreat, and the house was well taken care of by Master Guan, Guo Xing was still more relieved, the happy money that should have been sent was still sent, and the gifts that should have been given were also arranged by Zhou Quan.
At the same time, he is also thinking about his future, it seems that his father is determined to let himself take the throne, in that case, his time will be a lot less, it is estimated that he will have a showdown with himself after the year, this is not good, he must talk to his father, if he must let himself take over, then take over the throne directly, anyway, he is not the prince, the system of the Great Jin State looks okay now, but some subtleties have to be changed, the grassland is definitely going to be destroyed, the use of soldiers is certain, in addition, will there be resentment in the second brother's heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Xing also felt that his head was a little big, and it was so difficult for him to cultivate to the [Broken Void] peacefully, why did there be so many chores in Hongchen, Guo Xing had the idea of giving up everything in his heart and fighting directly with the sword rivers and lakes, and more of the thought of getting out of the dust.
The prince's division is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the best such as Guo Jun holds a heavy army and holds the power of a continent, and the second-class also has its own errands in the locality, and the worst is that the power is not at all in the place, so that there is no power, so you can only eat and wait for death.
In the spring of Longshuo 31 years, Emperor Guo Wei made a move, a move is vigorous and resolute, on this day, several holy decrees were issued one after another, the fourth son of the emperor Guo Xiao fiefdom Guizhou Jiexian County, the fifth son of the emperor Guo Ren sealed Shu Di Ning County, the sixth son of the emperor Guo Yi sealed Huai County, Xiangzhou, and the seventh son of the emperor Guo Li sealed Shu County, Jiangzhou,........... All the way up to the Ten Princes, the princes had nothing but 3,000 acres of land each.
More than 200 officials were implicated, more than 40 were given death, more than 70 were exiled, and the rest were all dismissed and deprived of their fame.
Fortunately, he didn't participate, otherwise it would be difficult to have a good ending, Zhou Xu's judgment of the old father in the Luguo Mansion was to throw himself to the ground, and at the same time, he was secretly afraid in his heart, all the officials who were involved with these princes did not run, and they were all cleaned up.
Lao Ge Lao was implicated because he interceded with the emperor, only the eldest son was implicated, and the others were fine, even the third master Guo Zhong was afraid for a while, fortunately he had a good internal help, otherwise he would be their end.
