Standing on the ferry to the north, Guo Yunming frowned and was worried.

At the age of twenty-four, he became the deputy envoy of the Third Division, which can be described as a young man's ambition. Not only did the words spoken in the court carry a lot of weight, but when they went out to inspect, there were also festivals that made the first-level feudal officials take the initiative to welcome them. His colleagues, who had looked down on him in the past, now came to his house with gifts, and most of the enemies who had offended him in the past were also in different places. It can be said that most of the dreams of his childhood have now come true. However, he now feels empty in his heart every day, as if he has lost something important. But he couldn't remember what it was!

His task today is to go to Hebei to deliver the decree, recall the privy deputy envoy Guo Wei, and go by the way to inspect the storage of some summer grain in Hebei. It's very simple for both of these things, and he shouldn't have been a trick with him. However, before the court made a decision, he took the initiative to take the errand. made his mentor Su Fengji very angry, mistakenly thinking that he was going to change his court. It wasn't until he came to the door in person afterwards and gave a generous gift that he reluctantly let go of his suspicions.

It is impossible to change the doorway. Guo Yunming knows who his wealth today comes from, and he also knows that it is impossible for Guo Wei, the privy deputy envoy, to "pee into a pot" with him. The veteran ruffian relied on his identity as a minister of life, and did not take any of the younger generations in his eyes at all. Even Uncle Li Ye was not qualified to go to his family banquet. Guo Yunming will not use a hot face to stick Guo Wei's cold ass!

The real purpose of his trip was to win over Gao Xingzhou for Liu Chengyou. Among the five ministers, Guo Wei, Shi Hongzhao, Yang Wei, and Wang Zhang are too close, and Su Fengji is the only one who is alone in any major decision. And if Liu Chengyou wants to maintain the balance in the court, in addition to his full support for Su Fengji, he must also arrange an ally of sufficient weight for Su Fengji. Looking at the world, Gao Xingzhou is almost the only candidate who meets the three conditions of being old enough, having strong enough soldiers and horses, and being loyal to the Han.

"If Gao Xingzhou feels that the positions of the two jiedu envoys of Tianping and Zhenning are not satisfied, you can just allow him to stay in Lanzhou. The amount of other grains and grass, baggage, and soldiers and horses are all negotiable!" Thinking of Liu Chengyou's advice last night, Guo Yunming felt a burst of weakness all over his body. When the emperor is in this position, it is really better to jump into the well. However, this emperor, who should have jumped into the well a long time ago, was his biggest reliance on Guo Yunming.

It is precisely because of the latter's favor that he was able to rise to prominence in just half a year. It was precisely because he found that the latter was obedient to him that so many ministers of civil and military affairs took the initiative to come to his Guo Yunming's doorstep.

Regarding what others ask him to do, Guo Yunming has never agreed casually. Although Liu Chengyou is a very talkative person, as long as he Guo Yunming speaks, he will almost respond to requests. However, Guo Yunming wants to be a contemporary Han Yan, and does not want to end up becoming Dong Xian or Murong Chong. For the former, people remember more of his outstanding exploits. And the last two people, whenever they mention it, will make everyone look sideways. (Note 1, Note 2)

Some things happened when they happened, and he, Guo Yunming, paid the price and reaped enough benefits. The road ahead, Guo Yunming knows that he must grasp it carefully. If he can be vertically and horizontally, divided and disintegrated, weaken the power of the five ministers, and finally make Liu Chengyou a real emperor, the people of the world will look at him Guo Yunming again, and their eyes will be full of awe.

If you can assist this person to flatten the heroes and reorganize Kyushu after Liu Chengyou is in power. Then his Guo Yunming's background, resume, and relationship with Liu Chengyou are no longer worth mentioning. When historians write his biography of Guo Yunming, they will definitely list him with Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang. Although there are flaws, they do not hide the brilliance!

"Brother Guo, Brother Guo, Brother Guo, where are you?" was thinking about the faint heat in his heart, when suddenly, a light shout came from his ears.

"Who?" Guo Yunming's daydream was interrupted suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his face full of anger.

"I, it's me! Brother Guo, why can't you even hear my voice?" On the trestle, a strong man more than eight feet tall jumped down and smashed the boat to sway.

"General Nie, what gust of wind blew you here? Why didn't you let someone tell you in advance? I almost ordered someone to drive the boat just now!" The anger on Guo Yunming's face quickly dissipated, and was replaced by a fake enthusiasm. "Stand firm, stand steady and walk slowly. The deck is no better than the land, it always rocks up and down! Someone, hurry over and help General Nie!"

"Yes!" the entourage agreed in unison, trotting a few steps, and supporting Nie Wenjin, the general of the Zuotun Guard. is similar to Guo Yunming, this person is also a confidant and important minister who was personally raised by Liu Chengyou after he ascended the throne. Although in the court, it can't play much role for the time being. But at least let Liu Chengyou catch an extra army of soldiers and horses who are completely obedient to him in Bianliang City. Every time I saw the privy envoy Shi Hongzhao when I went to the court, I no longer felt that I was thorned in my back.

"No, no, although I am a horseman, I can also know some water warfare!" Nie Wenjin waved his hand very politely and refused the support of his subordinates. Then he walked a few steps forward quickly, and explained with a fist at Guo Yunming, "I was afraid that it would delay your trip, so I didn't let people pass in advance, and I rode directly after him." Master Guo, you won't blame Nie for being reckless!"

"How can it, look at what you said!" Guo Yunming will not have the slightest breath of sven breath in front of the generals. He arched his hand with a big grin and responded with a smile. "You can put down what you're doing and go straight to the dock to see us off, which shows the love between the two of us. If you make any more false gifts such as posting, passing gifts, and making appointments to meet, then I should avoid you in the future, little brother!"

"Yes, that's it!" Nie Wenjin was so comfortable when he said it, he grinned, laughed and nodded, "Our own brothers, no formality." Brother Guo, Nie likes you for this. Never pretending, I'm going to be the prime minister soon, and I don't have any arrogance at all!"

"Brother Nie is talking nonsense again, just the little in the third division has made my little brother and me anxious every day. How dare you expect more?" Guo Yunming quickly glanced at the dock a few times, laughing and waving his hand.

"Brother, you are too modest, who doesn't know, Wang Zhang, the third envoy, is a deaf ear. You are all supporting yourself in the three divisions?" Nie Wenjin was not afraid of offending people, and continued to praise loudly.

"You can't say that, you can't say that. Lord Wang's talent is ten times greater than Guo's!" Guo Yunming's face was slightly red, and he continued to smile modestly, "Okay, don't laugh at me, brother." If there's anything I need to do, just say it. But whoever can make a contribution, Guo will never hide his selfishness!"

"It's nothing, it's just to see you off. By the way, let you help me pay attention to whether there is any news of this person in Hebei. Nie Wenjin first shook his head with a smile, and then, from his personal pocket, he took out a piece of writing paper with a human head drawn. looked at it, and handed it to Guo Yunming with both hands.

"Looking for someone, what kind of person, is it worth your trouble, brother?" Guo Yunming was slightly stunned, frowned, took the paper, and slowly unfolded it in the sun.

A rather handsome face immediately appeared in front of him. Very young, with a touch of sharpness between his eyebrows. As if he had thousands of troops under his command, he could step on all obstacles.

"Zhao Yuanlang, what are you looking for him? His father is a rare fierce general! Your Majesty also told me in person a few days ago that the current Holy Protector Army is very reassuring!" Guo Yunming quickly recognized the true body of the image, glanced at Nie Wenjin, and reminded with a smile.

There is a way, be obedient and listen to the sound. Nie Wenjin pondered for a while, and immediately understood that the other party wanted to tell him that Zhao Hongyin, the commander of the Holy Protector Army, had now entered the eyes of the little emperor Liu Chengyou. At this time, no matter how big a personal enmity he has with Zhao Kuangyin, he must let it go first, so as not to annoy his father by moving his son, and make Liu Chengyou's efforts to win over the generals of the army fall short.

"It's not that I'm looking for him, it's Uncle Guo, it's Uncle Guo who read the Di newspaper some time ago and knows that he has been to Yi County. Thinking about it, Nie Wenjin should immediately change his plan. smiled and said confidently, "You also know that our uncle has a good relationship with my brother." So, so, I'm going to be a peacemaker. Let Zhao Kuangyin bow his head, and then persuade Uncle Guo to hurry down the steps. General Zhao and Uncle Li are both His Majesty's courtiers, so there is no need to make each other angry because of the trivial matter of the juniors getting drunk and fighting!"

"So, you're going to let me help find him, and then send someone to bring him a message?" Knowing that Nie Wenjin wanted to shoot his uncle Li Ye's sycophants before, and after hearing that Zhao Hongyin was favored, he temporarily changed his mind, and Guo Yunming didn't break it. With a smile, he flicked a few times on Zhao Kuangyin's avatar, and said in a low voice: "This matter is simple, I just want to go to appease the place for Your Majesty, so I asked the local yamen to help find it." Although the territory in Hebei is a little chaotic, it should be no problem to arrange for the local snakes to find someone!"

"That's, that's!" Nie Wenjin got his wish, nodding happily again and again. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around, he suddenly took a quick step forward and added in a very low voice, "In addition, Nie has another small matter that needs your help, brother." Nie has a nephew, and his skills are quite passable. Brother, you are going to Lanzhou and Xiangzhou, and you can't have no one to serve you on the way. Can you give him a chance to lead the horse under you? It's my own junior, so it's convenient to call!"

Note 1: Han Yan, a favorite of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu loved him very much, and Han Yan became rich because of his favor. I used to use projectiles made of brass to shoot birds, and I didn't care if I lost dozens of them a day. Emperor Wu wanted to conquer the Xiongnu, and Han Yan took the initiative to learn the combat skills of the Xiongnu and collect information about the Xiongnu. When he set out on the expedition, he also made a lot of military achievements. He was named a doctor. Therefore, although Han Yan was rich and noble because of the emperor's favor, her name behind her was very good.

Note 2: Dong Xian, the male favorite of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. Dong Xian pressed the sleeves of the mourning emperor to sleep during the day, and the emperor wanted to get up but did not want to be shocked, so he cut off his sleeves, leaving the allusion of "the habit of breaking sleeves". Soon after the death of Emperor Wai, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty perished. Murong Chong was the male favorite of Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, and finally took advantage of the defeat of Feishui to kill Fu Jian.
