Zhao Shu ignored Lu Rong, because he really didn't know what to say to her, and he couldn't forgive her indiscriminate killing, nor could he send it to Liu Chan to punish him, so he had to take someone back to the house alone. Back in the mansion, Zhao Shu knew that there was still a personal soldier sent by Zhang Wei to report the news in the firewood room, so he used this reason to reprimand a cadre fiercely, and only then vented the anger in his heart a little. Seeing the innocence on the faces of these generals in front of him, Zhao Shu was tired of scolding, so he waved his hand to let everyone go down. Seeing that it was getting bright outside, Zhao Shu didn't go back to the room to rest, so he sat in the study and sulked.

Not long after the family general left, he heard Guo Huai's voice outside and said, "Big brother is here?" The younger brother has something to see. Zhao Shu thought that Guo Huai had been in the mansion all along, and he probably didn't know about Lu Rong, so he must have come here to persuade himself to go on a northern expedition. Zhao Shu didn't see it, but Guo Huai rarely came to Chengdu, and he couldn't save his face, so he had to say: "It's Boji, please come in." After the words fell, Guo Huai pushed the door in, looking at Zhao Shu's face with an unhappy look, he couldn't help laughing: "I heard the eldest brother scolding the family general in the courtyard, I don't know why the eldest brother is so angry?" ”

Zhao Shu has never been angry, he usually treats people and is angry, but today he was too angry with Lu Rong, so he changed his style in the past, and now he was asked by Guo Huai like this, but he was a little embarrassed, he smiled, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to ask: "Boji came to meet early in the morning, what happened?" He expected that Guo Huai would inevitably ask him to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, but he refused. Unexpectedly, Guo Huai did not mention the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, but said with a smile: "My sister-in-law has a lot of affection for my brother, but my eldest brother not only refuses to thank her, but is also so annoyed, which is a little unkind." ”

Zhao Shu listened to his words, that is, Guo Huai knew what Lu Rong did at night, and he had no idea in his heart, so he could just find someone to discuss, so he said: "Since Boji already knows, he will save his brother's words." Even if Zhang Shao had bad intentions, the dignified imperial capital of the Han Dynasty would not allow her to be so nonsense. Today morning, how can I face the crowd of officials? ”

Guo Huai also heard some of the big movement in the city last night, and later learned that Zhao Shu had returned home, and he was originally going to come directly to see him and ask what happened. Guo Huai had the heart to persuade Zhao Shu to go on the Northern Expedition, knowing that Lu Rong was the closest person to her pillow, so he had the heart to let her advise on his behalf, so he invited him into the room. Lu Rong knew that he had angered Zhao Shu, thinking that Guo Huai and he were sworn brothers, and his words were more weighty, and he also wanted to ask Guo Huai for help and convey his thoughts to Zhao Shu on his behalf. So after sitting down, Lu Rong told Guo Huai exactly what Zhang Shao planned and what he did last night. Guo Huai was more and more shocked at first, but later heard that Empress Zhang was also forced to kill herself, but his face was happy, and he promised Lu Rong, so he came to see Zhao Shu.

Hearing Zhao Shu ask, Guo Huai already had an idea in his heart, so he deliberately sighed a few times and said, "Although Madame has good intentions for the general, it is always difficult to convince everyone when she does these things. Zhao Shu listened to what he said and didn't say, and his heart was even more annoyed, although he was in charge alone, but the Shu Han court was not surnamed Zhao after all, if Jiang Wan and others joined forces to make a fuss, it would always be not peaceful. Lu Rong has already killed Zhang Shao, can Zhao Shu still kill Jiang Wan and others?

Guo Huai peeked at Zhao Shu's depressed face, and he was even happier in his heart, and stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Since the eldest brother is worried that it will be difficult to block the mouth of the hundred officials, why don't you 'give up the car to protect the handsome'?" Hand over Zhang Wei to His Majesty for disposal, and His Majesty will not dare to be very embarrassed. Zhao Shu didn't want Guo Huai to say such a bad idea to himself, his brows furrowed slightly, and said: "This matter was started by Mrs. Ben, General Zhang just acted on orders, and it was done for me, how can I treat each other like this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies?" How can we win people to serve in the future? Guo Huai has been with Zhao Shu for many years, and he has a very accurate grasp of his temperament, and he knows that he will not agree to hand over Zhang Wei, so he is very embarrassed, rubs his hands, and says: "This is difficult to do." ”

Zhao Shu also knew that this matter was difficult, and he had no power ambition for Cao Cao, so he couldn't just use the word "kill" in everything; But he couldn't do Sima's thing, and took Zhang Wei as a blame. When you think about it, there is always no way to do it both ways. However, Guo Huai frowned beside him and thought about it, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "If you don't do it, you don't stop doing it, it's not like this." Zhao Shu was taken aback by his sudden shout, and when he saw that there was a smug look on his face, he couldn't help asking, "What can Boji think of?" Guo Huai nodded slightly, and then looked at the left and right, and the doors and windows were covered, before he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "In the opinion of the eldest brother, how many people in the court can be compared with the eldest brother now?" ”

Although Shu Han is located in the southwest, only Yizhou, Jingxiang land, but has always been the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, the so-called sparrow is small, all organs. In a peaceful dynasty, all the institutions were not streamlined, just like the system of the two Han courts, although it is often said that "one hundred officials, one hundred officials", even if there are not a hundred officials in the early dynasty, there are always seventy or eighty. Zhao Shu was asked by Guo Huai at first glance, and he really couldn't answer, so he had to say: "This brother doesn't go to court on weekdays, I really don't know." ”

Guo Huai knew that Zhao Shu hadn't understood what he meant, so he laughed and said: "According to the younger brother's opinion, there are only four people in the court today. Zhao Shu heard what he said strangely, and he also became happy, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, which four people are there?" Guo Huai then replied: "There is one junior brother, one Wu Ziyuan, one Jiang Gongyan, and one is Zhang Shao." After hearing this, Zhao Shu also felt a little understood, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Bo Ji tried to say it in detail." ”

Guo Huai replied: "Now the name of the court is dominated by His Majesty, in fact, all the officials understand in their hearts that the decrees are all from the elder brother's general's mansion. Therefore, the hundred officials in the court are naturally divided into four people, such as the younger brother, General Huan, who has followed his brother for many years, born and died, and has today's position. Second, people such as Wu Ziyuan, Li Zhengfang and others, although they obeyed their brother's orders, they were forced by the times, and they may not have thought about the first emperor in their bones, nor did they think about His Majesty. Zhao Shu knew this, the Wu brothers were attached to themselves, but they were afraid of being killed, far from being sincerely attached to Guo Huai and others, but the talents of the Shu Han court withered and had to be used. Hearing Guo Huai say this, Zhao Shu nodded again and again, and said, "What Boji said is very true. The other two might as well speak for your brother. ”

Without waiting for Guo Huai to speak, Zhao Shu said: "People such as Jiang Gongyan, Fei Wenwei and others, although they do not have military power, they are talents in governance, and most of them are Confucians who are full of poetry and books. There can be no more Wang Mang and Cao Cao, so in the eyes of these people. If there is no such thing as a brother, then it is enough, and once there is a change, it will be attacked in groups. As for the fourth person, Zhang Shao, he was more radicalized by these people, and he didn't want to get rid of his brother as soon as possible. ”

After Zhao Shu finished speaking, Guo Huai heard that it was the same as his heart, so he smiled and said: "Brother wants to get it himself, but why do you always have to be reminded by others?" Zhao Shu shook his head and asked, "What about these four people?" If it weren't for Gongyan and others to help him over the years, how could he govern the world like this for his brother? Ruling the world is no different from marching and fighting, and if you want to win, you must work together. If you don't use Gongyan and others to govern, I'm afraid that if you don't wait for Wei Wu to attack, Yizhou will have no food for many years, and it will be in chaos for a long time. Besides, Zhang Shao is a person, and he is very respectful to me on weekdays, if he is not a lady, how can he think that he has a bad heart? As for being respectful in front of others, being bad behind his back, and being a brother and not a man of God, how can he foresee it? ”

"As my brother said, but how can a person who has achieved great things be so forward-looking? In the night, Mrs. had already provoked the matter, and among the four of them, the younger brother naturally had nothing to say, and Wu Ziyuan might not have much to say. It's just that in Jiang Gongyan's heart, his brother is like Wang Mang and Cao Cao, and these people are likely to become tomorrow's Zhang Shao. Guo Huai said as he saw that Zhao Shu's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and he was overjoyed, and continued: "Today's things should be judged and judged, and there will be constant rebellion, rather than being vigilant all day long, it is better to eradicate it once and for all." ”

Zhao Shu heard what he said fiercely, and couldn't help but ask: "Boji's meaning is to ......" As he spoke, he gestured with his hand under his neck. Guo Huai nodded and said: "In the early dynasty, the younger brother and General Wei and others personally led troops to escort the elder brother, but if someone opened his mouth to avenge Zhang Shao's grievances, they would all be taken down in court and punished as Zhang Shao's complicity." Zhao Shu shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, this matter must not be." In this case, will it not be possible to rebel with the same people? Guo Huai laughed a few times, and then said: "The Lord is stupid and incompetent, even if everyone supports the brother, it is not impossible?" ”

Zhao Shu has always felt that among the people, even if Guo Huai still has some foresight, when he knows that Shu Han is located in a remote area, and the national strength is far from being able to compete with Cao Wei, he can only unite the strength of everyone and govern well, in order to protect himself. How could he have thought that Guo Huai would say such substandard words today, which surprised Zhao Shu and hesitated: "This, this is what Boji means in his heart?" Guo Huai immediately bowed to the ground and said: "My brother is a hundred times more intelligent than the Lord, and now although he has great power in his hands, he always has some constraints on his actions. Moreover, Zhang Shao's matter, the lord may not know, since he has the intention to harm his brother, why should his brother care about the old feelings? ”

Zhao Shu didn't care about any old feelings, but just thought that the Shu Han Dynasty, which was not very powerful, would not be far from its destruction after such a great change. Zhao Shu has not had enough comfortable days in the past few years, why put himself on the fire to barbecue in order to get addicted to the emperor? So he shook his head again and again, and said categorically: "This matter must not be done, and Boji must not say it again in the future." Guo Huai saw that Zhao Shu still refused, so he got up again, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and muttered: "Since the eldest brother refuses to do this, how to deal with the current matter?" ”

The two have been entangled for so long, and back to the original question, Zhao Shu felt a little powerless, and said to himself: "Bento really has no way?" ”
