Chapter 478: A High Mind
You must know that Guo Rong was on guard to check Zhang Yongde, although Zhang Yongde has always shown loyalty, but Emperor Guo Rong still acted in secret, not allowing Zhang Yongde's actual power to be too large, and his influence expanded to all aspects.
Although this kind of thing is not explicitly stated, it started from the two people competing for the throne until Zhang Yongde took office as the capital inspector and reached its peak. But Guo Rong, who is smart, never expected that someone would actually take him into the game and treat him and Zhang Yongde as chess pieces.
has been shrewd all his life, but he didn't understand after all, the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches!
In the eyes of many people, Guo Rong, who was ordered by heaven, never thought that he would die suddenly in an accident. Maybe it was in these last few days that he really understood that he, the Son of Heaven, was also going to die.
Although one after another edicts immediately left the palace, as for whether they could be executed, only Guo Rongquan knew. He never thought that when this person was calculating, he not only lost his prestige, but also made Zhang Yongde think that he had been doing something to his family all along.
Zhang Yongde's current prestige in the court is beyond doubt. The Zhang family is a famous family of military generals since the end of the Tang Dynasty, so there are many old relatives. The most important thing is that he is the son-in-law of Emperor Taizu Guo Wei, and Princess Shou'an is the only biological bloodline of Emperor Taizu.
Needless to say, everyone knows that there are still not a few courtiers in the court who are loyal to Emperor Taizu Guo Wei. Even though he has recruited a lot of diehards in recent years, the source of gratitude for these people still comes from Emperor Taizu.
If you know that you are attacking Zhang Yongde, and Zhang Yongde is not the slightest mistake, this will be the biggest joke to yourself. Of course, if you are a contemporary master, it is undoubtedly the biggest loss.
Guo Rong has no doubt that someone may take advantage of the topic to play.
In fact, it has always been like this, after investigating the Jiuyang faction's troubles, Guo Rong wanted to take action against this tumor. So at that time, he instructed Zhao Zhou to assassinate Fu Zhaoju to make a move, not because he was Fu Yanqing's nephew. If it were any person, Guo Rong also ordered it like this, but the ending may not be so perfect.
No matter how famous the Jiuyang faction was, it was really relative to the regime and the imperial court, if it wanted to continue to survive in the Central Plains, it was necessary to make coordination and concessions. Guo Rong deliberately startled the snake, and also wanted to see who was behind it, really supporting the actions of the Jiuyang faction.
Guo Rong was suspicious of Li Jixun at first, because Li Jixun was not only a disciple of Cui Shaoyang, the head of the Jiuyang faction, but also the envoy of the feudal town under his command. In this era, as long as there are feudal towns with military power in hand, they are likely to stand out, so Guo Rong also responded in time.
However, although Li Jixun has been on the rise in recent years, Guo Rong also knows that his foundation is not enough. After sending someone to investigate, Guo Rong really found a lot of suspicions, and there may be a bigger existence behind it.
So in Li Jixun, Guo Rong did not startle the snake for the first time, but walked his attitude in time between the festivals of the towns. As long as he reigns for one day, he will never allow anyone to think about it.
Even if Guo Rong was so attentive, when he was dying, he realized why he couldn't find evidence. Because although the other party has a plan, he has not shown it to anyone at all, and he has the slightest sign of wanting to rebel. Guo Rong finally knew that he had met the most powerful opponent in his life.
But he knew that he had no chance, but in order to comfort Zhang Yongde and prevent civil strife in the future of the Zhou Kingdom, he made an astonishing decision. Of course, this decision was naturally unknown to outsiders, but he instructed Chen Shouyuan to visit Zhang Yongde in person.
Regardless of whether the descendants of the Guo family can keep the foundation in the future, Guo Rong knows that he must send a hand to punish Jiuyang, which is used to warn Li Jixun and the people behind him, even the black hand hiding in the shadows.
Even if he decided to conquer the Liao Kingdom at the beginning of the year, Guo Rong still took the time to personally order and plan this set of change mechanisms when he was dying.
Because he knew that the existence of the Jiuyang Sect as the largest faction in the Central Plains was not something that ordinary soldiers and generals could shake. That's why before he died, Fu Zhaozhi, who was transferred to the Fu family to serve in the forbidden army, came here to carry out the mission.
Fu Zhaozhi is not only his brother-in-law, but also the descendant of the Qin King of the Fu family, and even Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, also regards it as his own. Of course, there is another important point, the front division of the palace has just changed handsome, if you want to put an end to the movement of thoughtful people, as long as you send the forbidden army to dispatch, you will know.
Sure enough, after giving the order to Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, to the feudal town, he said that he wanted to eradicate the Jiuyang faction. Although Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, did not make a clear statement, he supported his attack on the Jiuyang faction. But in order to protect his nephew, he actually protected Fu Zhaoju in Zhaozhou, and this time he also transferred 500 warriors from the Guanhou of the Guarded Tooth Army.
If Guo Rongquan had knowledge, he would definitely believe that Fu Yanqing's move was to protect his nephew Fu Zhaozhi, but in fact, it was to show his loyalty to the emperor and approve of all his actions. Because Zhaozhou sent a thousand people, but as the city of Tokyo in Kyoto, he could only send five hundred elites.
Guo Rong happily accepted Fu Yanqing's kindness, he really didn't care much about five hundred or one thousand, what he wanted was Fu Yanqing's attitude towards him. When Guo Rong had not yet lost his breath, the five hundred tooth soldiers of the crown and the capital entered the capital, and smoothly entered the position of the forbidden army.
Foreign feudal lords sent troops into Beijing to defend the city, which is not uncommon in the history of previous dynasties. The ambitious Guo Rong naturally felt that he was in control, and even gave Fu Zhaozhi, the commander of Long Jiejun, the privilege, commanding this small force, expecting Fu Zhaozhi to completely wipe out the Jiuyang faction.
But before Guo Rong could see it, he had already died.
Suddenly!
Nearly 2,000 horizontal knives out of their sheaths!
Under the not too strong sunlight, the eyes of the people around him couldn't open, and the bright horizontal knife was a sharp weapon for sharpening iron.
Near this stormy bridge, two thousand heavily armed people stood in several powerful columns. Although the five hundred crown candidates have been disrupted, they are all full of this team, most of them are in the front guard, and the finished glyph queue is aimed at the gate of the Jiuyang faction.
As long as Fu Zhaozhi, who commanded the capital, gave an order, he should be able to rush into the Jiuyang faction immediately, and he could uproot the Jiuyang faction that had occupied the capital for a long time.
As a sect of cultivation, although there are a large number of courtyards and temples, and countless disciples of cultivation, there are no tall courtyard walls and solid gates. In the face of this team, if there is really a conflict, it will definitely be the disciples of the Jiuyang Sect who will be abused.
