Chapter 3: Hurricanes (4)

"Brother Xiufeng asked for the paperwork, after I read it, I immediately sent someone to send it to the Privy Council, Brother Xiufeng hasn't seen it yet? No, I sent someone to send it before dark!" Guo Wei's face was slightly red, and he explained with some humility. E Δ Small 』』『』 said*.

"After the evening, the minister has already returned home, of course, it is impossible for people to send the official documents to the private house for approval!" Wang Jun was angry because of Guo Wei's attitude of trying to fool him. He took half a step forward and added loudly, "It wasn't until more than half an hour ago that the minister got up and came out to check the waterlogging situation in Bianliang City, and he learned from the mouths of the people below that the victory document of the envoy of the Lanzhou Festival was sent to the palace in the afternoon!"

The distance between the two was less than half a foot, and Guo Wei was sprayed by Wang Jun with a foaming star all over his face, and while dodging, he continued to respond weakly, "Well, that's true." So when I saw it, I immediately ordered someone to send it back to the Privy Council. Gao Huaide, the kid who came out to do things for the first time, was inevitably careless. For the sake of his father Gao Xingzhou's face, I don't want to be too harsh on him! Brother Xiufeng, for my sake, how about letting him go for the time being?"

Wang Jun did not call Chai Rong's name, but kept saying that he was commensurate with his official position, obviously reminding him that the submission of the report document was official business, and it should be checked and inspected by the Privy Council before it could be handed over to him, the emperor's imperial review. Sending it directly to the palace without going through the Privy Council is a deliberate violation of the rules of conduct between the emperor and his auxiliary ministers, and should definitely be severely punished to set an example.

Severely punish Chai Rong, Guo Wei is absolutely reluctant. His children were all victimized by Liu Chengyou, and now there is only Chai Rong left under his knees, and he is afraid of falling when he holds it in the palm of his hand, how can he be severely punished at every turn? Moreover, Guo Wei does not think that Chai Rong has done anything wrong in his heart. The letter of victory is a letter of victory, the letter of family is a letter of family, and the letter of victory should first enter the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and then it can be delivered to oneself, and the letter from the son to his father does not need to be read by the ministers first. If you want to blame, you can only blame Gao Huaide, it was this kid who messed up the order and first sent the family letter to the palace, and then remembered that there was an official victory document from the Hebei battlefield, which was not submitted according to the rules.

However, Wang Jun resolutely didn't want to let Guo Weimeng pass the test today, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and continued to spray loudly: "Your Majesty looks at Gao Xingzhou's face, why don't you think about it, where will the two envoys of Shanzhou Jiedu and Gao Huaide put their vassals in this way? Then what do we need to do? Let the officials do whatever they want. In this way, look at your Great Zhou Jiangshan, how long can you survive?"

"This, this, Brother Xiufeng, I have already sent the documents to the Privy Council, what else are you going to do?" Hearing that Wang Jun actually cursed himself for being ruined as soon as possible, Guo Wei was touched by the scales. He took two quick steps back, distanced himself from each other, straightened up, and asked with a frown. "Besides, the rough battle situation has been sent to the Privy Council by the post three days ago. This time, it's just a little more detailed. I took a few looks, and I didn't delay anything at all. ”

He is a famous general in a hundred battles, and in a fit of anger, he is full of murderous energy. Immediately suppressed Wang Jun's arrogance, and was stunned for a long time, only to finally realize that he had persecuted Guo Wei too much just now, but he was unwilling to take the initiative to admit his mistake, raised his hand and wiped two more handfuls on his face, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Your Majesty, you should know that Weichen doesn't mean this! The reason why Weichen entered the palace to meet him was to hope that His Majesty would understand one thing, at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, everything should be based on the rules." No one can trample on it at will! Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to difficulties in carrying out orders, prohibitions not being followed, and chaos in the government and government!"

"I know, I understand that Brother Xiufeng is dedicated to the public!" Seeing Wang Jun's aggrieved face, Guo Wei deliberately controlled his emotions, nodded, and tried to add in a soothing tone, "Gao Huaide entered the palace because Jungui asked him to bring a letter from home. He got the order wrong, so he first finished delivering the letter to his family, and then he remembered the paperwork again! I remembered that he had worked hard all the way, so I asked him to go home first to report his safety, and then I hurriedly ordered someone to send you the paperwork. ”

"If Your Majesty had said this earlier, the minister would not have grabbed Gao Huaide and held on to it!" Seeing that Guo Wei took the initiative to ease the atmosphere, Wang Jun also hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, "Everything is fine on the front line, but have you encountered any troublesome things!"

"What can he worry about?" Guo Wei didn't want to dwell endlessly on the same thing, so he quickly took the opportunity to change the conversation, "With Brother Zheng sitting on the front line, and Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng Ziming as his right-hand men, he has been living like a dragon entering the sea recently, how can there be something to worry about!"

"That's good, Weichen has been worried about him!" Wang Xiufeng smiled, and rarely took the initiative to praise Chai Rong's merits, "Jungui is well-informed and broad-minded. Mind, bearing, and strategy are all first-class. In time, it will come out of the blue!"

Those who are not fathers don't like to listen to others praise their sons' talents, Guo Wei suddenly felt relieved, stroked his beard, and smiled humbly, "Brother Xiufeng has won the award, Jungui is still young, and he is slightly immature in many aspects!"

"Compared to you and me, in fact, Jungui is much stronger!" Wang Jun smiled and waved his hand, and patted Guo Wei's ass again. Immediately, he suddenly turned his head around, and his voice immediately became hard and cold: "It's just that Jungui is sometimes too emotional. Especially for the people around you, there is almost no wariness. If this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later I will regret it. ”

"You mean Zheng Ziming?" There is a way, there is no need to beat the drum with a heavy hammer, Guo Wei's face immediately sank, and he responded with a frown.

"Exactly!" Wang Jun didn't consider anyone's feelings at all, and nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard that there have been rumors in the streets and alleys recently that Zheng Ziming is indeed Shi Yanbao, the second prince of the Later Jin Dynasty. And in order to survive, Shi Chonggui actually wrote a letter to him in his own handwriting, asking him to lead his troops to return to the Khitan?!"

"Oh, I've heard a little about it. Guo Wei sighed softly and replied with a bit of regret.

Before he received a letter from his adopted son Chai Rong this afternoon, he did have a headache about how to treat Zheng Ziming. Although with his wisdom, it is obvious that the rumors are deliberately spread behind the scenes, and not simply by ordinary people chewing their tongues.

Zheng Ziming is the youngest festival envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also the most powerful festival envoy. He is more than ten years younger than his adopted son Chai Rong, and his territory is twice as large as that of Gao Huaide, who is also an envoy of the festival, and is leading the army to fight against the puppet Han State as Zheng Renzhi's deputy. If this person really fell to the Khitan, not only would the Zhou army be defeated in the Hebei battlefield, but the entire northern defense line would also follow closely behind, and north of the Yellow River, from Lanzhou to Shenzhou, a territory of thousands of miles would be owned by the Khitans in an instant......

Therefore, when rumors are surging, as the king of a country, Guo Wei's best and safest choice is to transfer Zheng Ziming away from the front line and transfer him to Houlu, a high-ranking official in Bianliang, to be raised in captivity. Regardless of whether Zheng Ziming has different intentions or not, as long as he already has the possibility of destroying half of the Great Zhou Dynasty by himself.

Guo Wei is the king of a country, and he knows that the king of a country must have the eloquence and foresight of a king of a country. It is necessary to prevent the slightest danger from snibbling in the bud. It is necessary to give priority to the consideration of whether it is good or harmful to the society and society, regardless of whether it is fair or unfair to a single person.

However, after receiving Chai Rong's handwritten letter, Guo Wei completely overturned the previous thoughts in his heart. In its place, there is deep worry and guilt.

If Zheng Ziming really wanted to collude with the Khitans, he should have taken action a long time ago, and there was no need to wait until now; if Zheng Ziming really did not hesitate to lose his life for his own selfishness, he should have taken advantage of the fire to rob when the Guo family raised troops and was in trouble, instead of taking the initiative to invite Ying to go to Jizhou to settle down and solve the worries of the army. If......

There is no if. As a reckless hero who climbed up from a big soldier, as a human emperor with a clear conscience, Guo Wei knew how deeply his past behaviors were hurtful to a young man who longed to be treated fairly. And when he realized this, it was too late to make amends.

"Your Majesty, this matter is by no means groundless!" Seeing that Guo Wei just said with regret on his face, 'I have heard a little', he suddenly became dumb. Wang Jun waited impatiently, patted it lightly on the imperial book case with his hand, and solemnly reminded: "The minister advises Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible." Don't abolish the prince for personal reasons just because he and he are righteous brothers. ”

"Xiufeng is too worried, of course I won't abolish my father for personal reasons!" Guo Wei shook his head, his eyes fell on Wang Jun's shoulder, and suddenly he saw that he was an old man who had been with him for many years, short and small.

"If I had abolished the public for personal gain, I would not have deliberately suppressed him in the first place, but only ensured that he would be a Cangzhou defense envoy. Without waiting for Wang Jun to continue to point fingers, after a pause, Guo Wei added with a little annoyance, "If I abolish the public for personal reasons, I will not be unrewarded, and I will only promote him to be a military envoy, not according to the convention, and leave him a place in the Privy Council." If I had abolished the public for personal gain, I would not have turned a blind eye to the fact that he had killed Xiao Tianci for half a year, defeated Han Kuanghei, and beheaded countless merits on the grounds that the overall situation was undecided, and delayed the reward that should have been given to him until now. Brother Xiufeng, I will tell you the truth, I and you are both lacking tolerance in this matter, and I am afraid that I will regret it in the future!"

"What?" Wang Jun originally had a stomach full of dirty water that was about to be splashed on Zheng Ziming's head, but it was all frozen into an ice lump in an instant, and he couldn't say it anymore. Looking at Guo Wei in a daze, his two triangular eyes directly stared into a quadrilateral, "What does Your Majesty mean by this? Could it be that I am jealous of the virtuous and can deliberately suppress the young talent." He is the son of Shi Chonggui, and you and I know this matter very well. And that Shi Chonggui was not born with bones, and he was humiliated in every way after being plundered by the Khitans, but he still refuses to die. If the Khitans forced him to write to Zheng Ziming......"

"The Khitan people have indeed forced, Shi Chonggui has indeed written, and Zheng Ziming has indeed received the letter!" Guo Wei glanced at Wang Jun and shook his head sadly, "These, Jungui knows, Jungui has made it clear to me in his family letter!"

"No wonder you are so protective of him today, it turns out that the monarch wrote a letter first, which made you preconceived!" Wang Jun suddenly realized, slapped the table twice hard, and sneered and ridiculed. "Okay, no kiss. Since the monarchs and nobles have vouched for him, why should Wang be a villain in vain? Watching you father and son toss around! Anyway, the country is not surnamed Wang!"

"Shut up!" Guo Wei was extremely disappointed in Wang Jun, and also slapped the table hard, and scolded loudly, "Xiufeng, you, when did you become so unreasonable." Jungui did write a letter to me, but it was not to say good things to Zheng Ziming. It's ......"

"It's not for Zheng Ziming to say good things, what else does he have to do? Why are you so protective of the surname Zheng?" Wang Jun was full of disbelief, and interrupted loudly with his neck in his hand.

Guo Wei was forcibly put on the throne by him with a group of old brothers, and this country should have been a part of him and all the old brothers. He was happy to see Guo Wei as the emperor, calling him a lonely widow, and he was also happy to see Guo Wei pass on the throne to his children and grandchildren, and the country will be passed on to all generations. But he couldn't watch Guo Wei dig his own grave. Because if Guo Wei defeats the country, all the blood and sweat of the big guys will also be wasted, and the glory and wealth in front of him and his net worth will be wiped out along with the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"What's the matter? You can see anything for yourself! lest you be suspicious again!" Guo Wei's face was distorted with regret and anger, and he took out a letter with body temperature from his arms and slapped it heavily on Wang Jun's chest, "Jungui just told me a fact: after Zheng Ziming received Shi Chonggui's letter, he handed over all his soldiers and horses and infiltrated Liaodong alone!"

"Ahh Grasping the envelope with both hands, his arms trembled, and for a long time, he couldn't muster up the courage to pull out the envelope.

He knew that Guo Wei would not lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him in this matter. Zheng Ziming is gone, and Zheng Ziming, whom he has always regarded as a great danger to his confidants, went to Liaodong alone to save Shi Chonggui after handing over his military power! From then on, he could no longer pose a threat to the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was impossible for him to use his status as the prince of the previous dynasty to lead thieves into the Kou and divide one side. It's just that the road from Qizhou to Liaodong is more than 2,000 miles, with dozens of cities and millions of Khitan troops in between.

In a panic, Guo Wei's voice came from his ears again, and the words were like needles, "It is impossible for him to rebel, and it is impossible for him to hand over several prefectures in Hebei to the Khitans, he will die in Liaodong this time, and he will never come back!
