Chapter 32: Going out for training
Guo Xing's reward was directly 5,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, as well as the official recognition of the title of prince and the title of Prince Wu, becoming the second prince among the princes to receive the title of prince. After the game, a group of players followed Guo Xing to the natural residence to eat and drink, and everyone's feelings were further exchanged, and Guo Xing was also given a title by everyone [one palm covers the sky] After all, Guo Xing won the championship with his palm.
The year-end banquet competition has been a few days ago, but the impact has not yet ended, during this period of time, there are more people who enter the palace to meet the queen and the concubine, all of them are for Guo Xing, everyone knows that Guo Xing has not yet been engaged, so they all want to take the lead.
Guo Xing made it clear when he entered the palace to meet Concubine De that he didn't want to be distracted to think about it recently, but the people who entered the palace were all noblewomen with status, and in the end, even the prince's mansion couldn't be quiet, and the prince couldn't help it, so he entered the palace and told the emperor, and the emperor was also annoyed by the queen and Concubine De, and finally the emperor let out his words, not considering Guo Xing's marriage within two years, and talking about it in two years.
Guo Xing's days have slowly returned to normal, still every day of diligent practice does not fall, in order to prevent being disturbed directly retreated, no one is seen, until the Spring Festival is to show up, Longshuo 29 years have passed, ushered in Longshuo 30 years.
After the New Year, Guo Xing also participated in several small-scale gatherings, such as Zhou Hong went directly to the army for training after the New Year, Guo Xing participated in his farewell banquet, Qi Heng was approved by his father to go out for training, and so on, Guo Xing still had to stay in Beijing.
This year, the calm court also because of the prince of Jun Guo Jun a letter to break the peace, the prairie since the defeat of the year fell into a fratricidal situation, now nearly twenty years have passed, and from the new unification, after Ziger died of illness, his fourth son Aqilang fought to dominate the prairie again.
It is a must to invade the Central Plains after the unification of the prairie, so the matter of arming the war was mentioned in the recital of the prince of Jun, and some people in the court proposed that they should take the initiative to attack the prairie in the past few days, and the court was arguing about it.
There is no conclusion after a month after the year, but Emperor Guo Wei also ordered Guo Jun to be in Yunzhou is to reorganize the army, according to past experience, if the grassland invades the Central Plains, that is, around April, the snow melts, and the new grass is the first time to officially conquer, otherwise there will be no way to wait until autumn.
On this day, Guo Xing received the order to go to the Taihe Hall to discuss matters, but he was stunned, how could he let himself go to the meeting, so he asked the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree, "Who else have you called".
The little eunuch replied, "The princes in Beijing are all going" Guo Xing nodded when he heard this, and went straight to the Taihe Palace, and found that he was the last one inside, the emperor, the prince, the cabinet ministers, and the ministers of the ministries, all the princes had arrived.
After everyone finished saluting the emperor and the crown prince, they stood up at the prince's pile and listened to their discussion. Guo Xing was not interested at all, nothing more than because of some Confucian theories of human opinion, etc., and the other group was a group of generals who thought that they should take the initiative to attack and put the place of battle on the territory of the people
。 The two groups of people are arguing with red faces and stinging ears, but after all, the generals are not civilian opponents who often practice their mouths, and they fall behind, according to Guo Xing's meaning, non-my race is their hearts must be different, and they should be killed and killed externally.
At this time, the emperor raised his head and looked at the people present and said, "A few of you are the children of the royal family, and you also tell your own opinions" This is said to the princes, after all, in addition to expressing their stance with the princes and ministers, everyone was quiet all of a sudden, and they all wanted to hear the opinions of the princes.
The third Guo Zhong is planning to be a free prince, saying that his father's decision is his own decision, living a thin mud, the fourth to the tenth are on the side of the civil officials, and the rest live like the third in the mud.
Guo Xing was left, Guo Xing thought about following the third and ninth children, and they were with the mud, and then the prince's words came: "Seventeenth brother, don't follow along, this is related to your vital interests" Guo Xing understood as soon as he heard it, and it was linked to his own experience, and he really couldn't be with the mud.
Guo Xing thought for a while and said, "The child agrees with the opinions of several old commanders and generals, we should put the battlefield on the grassland, after all, when they come to attack us, it will cause a large number of deaths of the people every time, which is not good for the country, and the soldiers and horses who go out to fight are less with grain and grass, and they are completely fed by war, don't take prisoners, kill his corpses all over the field, and give the grassland a lesson that they can't forget for decades."
All the ministers, including the military, took a breath of cold air, this lord's murderous nature is really heavy, use war to feed the war, don't take prisoners, the military is okay, it fits the appetite of several people, the ministers are gone, and they all opened their mouths to count Guo Xing, there should be benevolence or something, Guo Xing was annoyed when he heard it, damn it, let the master I be angry.
Then he said to Zhang Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had the loudest opposition, "Dare to ask Lord Zhang to know how much damage is done to the people of Yunzhou and Yizhou every time the grassland attacks."
Zhang Shangshu said: "It is precisely because of the constant warlike will the people be harmed, and it is more important to be benevolent in order to reduce disputes and make the people less harmed."
"Oh, that Zhang Shangshu means that he can only come to the grassland to beat me Dajin, and my Dajin can't go and beat him" Guo Xing looked at Zhang Li with a cold face.
Zhang Shangshu continued, "We should use benevolence and righteousness to influence them in order to achieve long-term peace and stability."
Guo Xing said, "It is impossible for the grassland people to be influenced, what they believe is only their fists."
Zhang Shangshu said, "I can't influence it once, but a few more times, they will definitely be able to feel the benevolence and righteousness of my Great Jin, so as to achieve permanent long-term peace and stability."
Guo Xing smiled, "This king still has a question, please ask Lord Zhang."
Lord Zhang didn't say in a good voice, "Prince Wu, please ask"
Guo Xing said, "Are the two states of Yunyi the people of my Great Jin, and who should the dead people complain to?"
Master Zhang immediately said, "For the long-term peace and stability of the Great Jin, their death is valuable," Guo Xing wanted to directly slash this thing to death with one palm when he heard it.
Then, according to Lord Zhang's words, "these people of the Great Jin Dynasty are dead as they deserve"
Master Zhang said, "Yes, everything is worth it for the sake of Dajin, and their sacrifice is worth it"
Guo Xing smiled and said, "And those adults agree with Lord Zhang's words," Guo Xing is planning to be ruthless this time, and he doesn't plan to forget it so easily.
"I", "and me", "using benevolence and righteousness is the way to achieve long-term peace and stability" Suddenly, more than a dozen officials stood up and faced Guo Xing in unison, and the ministers formed gangs and factions and did not take the princes in their eyes at all.
"Well, since they are all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, not only can the common people be sacrificed, but the officials should take the lead, and the children should ask their father to move Lord Zhang and all their families and clansmen to Yunzhou, and they are not allowed to live in the city, and at the same time let Lord Zhang and all the adults go to the grassland to spread benevolence, righteousness and morality, eliminate the war, and ask my father to fulfill the wishes of all the adults" Guo Xing knelt down directly after speaking.
Hearing Guo Xing say this, Mr. Zhang was in a hurry, what should I do, I was taken to a dead end by Guo Xing, my family went to Yunzhou, and the grassland people came, so it was good, and let myself go to the grassland to spread benevolence, righteousness and morality, then I can still live, object, I just said that the righteousness Ling Ran, for the sake of the Great Jin, anyone can sacrifice, to my own can't, this can't be said.
After listening to Guo Xing's words, several old commanders and generals were bright-eyed, and they were energetic, and one by one they came out of class and knelt on the ground, agreeing with Guo Xing's words, and at the same time asked the emperor to issue an edict to eliminate the war and fulfill the benevolence of all the adults.
When the emperor saw it, he hurriedly let people carry him out to diagnose the imperial doctor, and then Guo Xing said again, "This Lord Wu of Dali Temple, Lord Chen of the Household Department, and Lord Liu of the Inspectorate, you just now strongly agree with Lord Zhang Lizhang's proposition, and are willing to move your family and the three clans to Yunzhou with Lord Zhang, and go to the grassland to spread benevolence, righteousness and morality.
After speaking, he continued to kneel on the ground to play the invitation, and several of the main fighters also raised their eyebrows and followed the kneeling invitation, and said in their mouths, they couldn't chill the hearts of the adults to serve the country, and the other ministers next to them didn't dare to speak out, afraid that they would really let Yunzhou like a few people, and it would be dead, so they all lowered their heads and hoped that others would not see themselves.
A few of them who were named by Guo Xing just now, and the dozen or so who just stood up, are really going to be in a hurry, what should I do, just learn from Master Zhang, one by one I was dizzy, and the emperor hurriedly let people carry them out when he saw it, and went with Zhang Li as a companion.
This time the discussion can't go on, a while of effort made Guo Xing stunned a dozen, and I don't know how many will fall in the future, the emperor is secretly happy about Guo Xing's methods, he wants to fight a war every time he lets these rotten Confucians say that they can't come to power, this time there is an excuse, whoever opposes it, just move your whole clan to the border, see who still opposes it.
In the end, a discussion was over, but the generals learned Guo Xing's set of assertions, and they all smiled with their eyebrows, and after they came out, they all patted Guo Xing on the shoulder, saying that Guo Xing was good.
The other ministers have also seen Guo Xing's debate skills, and they are secretly vigilant in their hearts, and try not to have conflicts with this master in the future, so as not to make themselves unable to get off the stage, and they have to pretend to be faint to get through, which is too embarrassing.
Soon after Guo Xing obtained the emperor's approval to go out to practice, according to the emperor's arrangement, a full 5 secret guard masters were secretly guarding, saying goodbye to his mother Concubine De Niangniang, and according to Concubine De Niangniang's explanation, he wanted to go to see his sister, Guo Lan.
