Smile faintly!

Guo Rong's eyes have a little more warmth, although he has lofty ideals and ambitions, but Guo Rong knows that because he has been short-tempered since he was a child, he has always been tempered by outsiders. www.biquge.info Later, he followed the experts to do business abroad, although he learned a lot of forbearance, and also let himself discover his own shortcomings, but as the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change, and Guo Rong still can't completely control himself.

Looking at this upright palace maid, Guo Rong seemed to be in a trance, as if he had seen her shadow. Although she is not as noble and beautiful as her, her persistence and gentleness are very similar to her.

Looking at her figure, although it is not as plump and moving as her, the image she saw in a trance seemed to be her standing beside her.

That is the eternal pain in Guo Rong's heart, but for his own ambition, Guo Rong knows that there must be a lot of reluctance and pain in life. Being in the highest position of this era, people say that it is cold in high places, and Guo Rong knows that there is a secret to this high place.

It was the third year of Xiande after he ascended the throne, Guo Rong personally led the army to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Empress Xuanyi thought that the Jiangnan area was not suitable for the imperial expedition, and tried her best to dissuade Guo Rong. But Guo Rong couldn't listen to it, because he knew that the Central Plains had no supplies due to years of war.

As a teacher of justice, Guo Rong must be famous, although everyone knows what is going on, but he can't pierce this film externally. The plundering of the land and materials of the Southern Tang Dynasty could not only replenish the empty treasury of the Central Plains, but also prepare for the next conquest.

Guo Rong did not explain to Empress Xuanyi, but he had to personally conquer the army, because there was another reason, that is, his mastery of the Great Zhou army was not thorough and comprehensive enough. In this era when Shuai Qiang wanted to be the king, Guo Rong could only establish his prestige between the army and the feudal towns by himself by himself.

Guo Rong went without hesitation, and Empress Xuanyi had no choice but to follow her.

It was a hot summer day, and there was no progress after the army pushed south, and Guo Rong was also depressed in his heart. He will never forget that day, because when he saw that his troops were not making progress, he personally went to the front line to supervise the battle and inspect the military situation.

Empress Xuanyi, who was born in Jiangmen, did not let her eyebrows, so she naturally followed forward, and two people and a guard came to the riverside to watch the enemy camp. Who knew that the other party actually knew that someone was snooping and sent a team of spies to harass him.

The scale of the harassment this time was not large, although it would not affect Guo Rong, but it just entangled Guo Rong and his party. Empress Xuanyi was naturally worried about Guo Rong's safety, and followed Guo Rong without leaving an inch, not knowing that she had just been pregnant with a dragon fetus.

When Guo Rong was harassed by the other party's spies and couldn't get out, it suddenly rained heavily, and when the two sides were entangled on the front line, although Empress Xuanyi was not injured in the slightest, she was drenched all over.

After the guards who came to support and drove away the Tang Army's spies, Guo Rong also happily praised the accompanying guards. After everyone returned to the barracks naturally and calmly, Empress Xuanyi felt tired and unwell.

After the accompanying military doctor took the pulse of Empress Xuanyi, he naturally discovered that the queen was pregnant with a dragon fetus. But because Xuanyi had already suffered from the cold, and the military doctor was also the imperial doctor in the palace, he was naturally very frightened to report.

Although Empress Xuanyi has joys and sorrows, it also makes Guo Rong regret it.

Because Empress Xuanyi then suffered from heat stroke and severe illness with wind chill. Although he hurriedly sent someone to send Empress Xuanyi to the capital Kaifeng, he saw that the situation was bad along the way, and even if various imperial doctors arrived, he was already powerless.

A few days after Empress Xuanyi returned to Kaifeng, she drove the crane back to the west.

Although Guo Rong resigned for seven days, this incident has since become a pain in Guo Rong's heart. Because Empress Xuanyi is not just a wife for Guo Rong, he has always compared her to the eldest grandson.

For outsiders and ministers, they may only regard Empress Xuanyi as a rare woman in the world.

Because she is not Guo Rong's original partner, her marriage to Guo Rong is not her first marriage. Empress Xuanyi was originally married to someone else, and this person turned out to be famous. That is one of the several major festivals of the Han Dynasty in the Later Dynasty, Li Chongxun, the son of Li Shouzhen, who made the river festival.

Although he was a minister in the Central Plains and the Later Han Kingdom in the troubled times, because Li Shouzhen saw that he had changed the son of heaven in a few years and had heavy troops in his hands, he was actually uneasy and wanted to be the emperor.

At this time, the Houhan was not stable, and no one could control Li Shouzhen, so he was always a little restless. secretly invited a Taoist priest to come back to show his family, who knew that after the other party saw that Queen Xuanyi's face was extraordinary, he told Li Shouzhen that she would be a mother in the world.

Li Shouzhen believed that it was true, and actually really raised troops with his son Li Chongxun. And the commander who led the troops to quell the rebellion this year was Guo Rong's uncle and later emperor Guo Wei. Although Li Shouzhen was defeated and died, his son Li Chongxun also knew that he would not be spared.

This Li Chongxun is a ruthless character, he killed his younger brothers and sisters with a sword, and wanted to kill his wife Fu Shi and then commit suicide. Who knew that the Fu family, who was born in Jiangmen, was later Queen Xuanyi, had some insight and great courage. When Li Chongxun was looking for her, she actually escaped by hiding behind the curtain.

The rebellious army had no main general, Guo Wei's army easily attacked the Li Mansion, and the Han soldiers found Empress Xuanyi, who took the initiative to reveal her identity. One is that she is Li Shouzhen's daughter-in-law, and she is the big man this time; Second, her father is the prince of the Han Kingdom, which is really expensive in this era.

The soldiers who searched the Li Mansion were subdued by her appearance and courage. also knew that she was the daughter of Wei Wang Fu Yanqing, so he took her to see Guo Wei.

Guo Wei was a little careful at this time, although he was not a new feudal town, his sphere of influence had always been limited. After all, Fu Yanqing has been a generalist for generations, and he is a famous prince in this era, Guo Wei naturally thought that this was an excellent opportunity.

For Guo Wei himself, picking up the treasure of Fu Xuanyi can be handled by himself. After all, the biggest need of the imperial court is to pacify the Hezhong region, and if anyone is replaced, it will end up like Li Shouzhen.

Although Fu Yanqing did not become the king, nor did he have the slightest intention to show his support for Li Shouzhen, several brothers were temperance envoys, and his daughter was Li Shouzhen's daughter-in-law.

The imperial court did not dare to offend Fu Yanqing, and did not want him to be more powerful, so it was obviously a good idea to use Guo Wei to contain Fu Yanqing. Therefore, the original decision of the imperial court was to let Guo Wei act cheaply.

This undoubtedly gave Guo Wei a great opportunity, Guo Wei wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Fu Yanqing and his family, so he praised the Fu family, and righteously recognized Empress Xuanyi of the Fu family as a righteous daughter.

Because all the people in her husband's family died, the traditional and conservative princess Wei Wang hoped that her daughter would become a nun in order to keep the virtues and etiquette of her husband's family. But Empress Xuanyi herself has a big idea, and she can escape death, which can be seen from her unique determination.

At that time, he naturally disobeyed, and said to her mother, a famous sentence in the history of later generations: "Death and life have fate, and heaven is also, why destroy the hair!" ”

When Guo Wei obviously came into contact with Fu's family, he tested her tone and thoughts, and when he saw her insight and courage, he naturally admired her very much. If you change people, you may all accept the Fu family under you, after all, there are too many benefits of marrying the Fu family. But Guo Wei is an extremely self-disciplined person, and it can be seen from his simplicity after he ascended the throne later.

Although he admired Fu's, he didn't take it all by himself, and happened to see his nephew Chai Rong's original partner Liu pass away, and privately asked Chai Rong how he felt about Fu's, Chai Rong naturally admired Fu's courage very much. Guo Wei was overjoyed and wanted to get close to Fu Yanqing, so he proposed to Fu Yanqing for Chai Rong. Fu Yanqing saw that Guo Wei was becoming more and more powerful, especially after pacifying Hezhong, and his momentum had reached the highest point. The most important thing is that he saw that Guo Wei was far from being comparable to Li Shouzhen's first-class class, and he was a person with ideas and excellent people's livelihood, so he promised to marry Empress Xuanyi to Chai Rong.

In this year, Guo Wei replaced the Later Han Dynasty and established the Later Zhou State. Fu followed Chai Rong all the way to fight until he became the guard of the first house. In the end, Chai Rong became Guo Rong, and he also became the prince from Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and finally made suggestions to help Guo Rong ascend the throne steadily.

The weight of Xuanyi Fu's family in Guo Rong's heart is no longer comparable to ordinary relatives. Hongyan loves heroes, and the unexpected death of Empress Xuanyi caused eternal pain in Guo Rong's heart, but the queen's sister Empress Xuanrui replaced her sister, and she walked into the palace to take care of Guo Rong. And Fu Diqing, the lord of Luquan County, dressed as a palace maid, is an excellent woman of the Fu family's generation, although she is not as beautiful as the two queens, she is also rare among women. Of course, the most important thing is that she is the most controversial of the women of the Fu family.

Not only has she received a mastery from her family, she has a good martial arts, but she is also familiar with various military strategies and strategies, and she is the most talented of the younger generation of the Fu family. followed Guo Rong's side, one is that she admires Guo Rong's hero, and she applied to be the general of the Northern Expedition Army; Second, she was entrusted by her sister to take care of Guo Rong with the army.

Guo Rong naturally understood Fu Diqing's intentions, but Guo Rong, who had the world in mind, did not show it, looked at Fu Diqing with a concerned face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The capital should have received my news at this time!" Luquan's action to attract snakes this time, you should be the first to take the lead! ”

"This is what Luquan should do! Your Majesty, now you have just led the snake, but you have not yet hoeed the rape to the end, and Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, Lu Quan knows that Your Majesty is strategizing, but the other party's calculations are so far-reaching, it should be the enemy of Your Majesty in secret! This seemingly quiet woman is thinking about Guo Rong's thoughts.

Guo Rong looked at Chen Shouyuan and said sincerely: "Sir! I'm so ashamed! If you don't abide by the guidance of Mr., you will have the difficulties you have today! Now that the arrow is on the string, I hope that Mr. will not hesitate to give advice! ”

"Your Majesty is gracious!" Chen Shouyuan lightly stroked the clear beard under his chin, the look on his face was more relaxed than at the beginning, he glanced at Guo Rong's face, and said quietly: "Lao Dao is naturally deeply grateful to His Majesty for his knowledge, these things are just a gesture!" In the future, in front of the old way, Your Majesty does not need to mention this matter again! ”

"Lao Dao found out that a few masters came in last night, and I wanted to go to meet them for a while, but then I found out that His Majesty's hidden poison had recurred, and at this time, I thought about it, and the other party should be the other party's group. They knew that His Majesty had masters around him, but His Majesty's dragon body was sick, and it might be in their consideration. took advantage of the old way and couldn't be separated, so he blatantly mixed in! Chen Shouyuan looked at Guo Rong thoughtfully, and then turned his head to look at Fu Diqing on the side.

"Your Majesty, do you need Luquan to give an order to thoroughly investigate the pro-army!" Fu Diqing is the commander of the guards and the pro-army appointed by Guo Rong this time, and the power now seems to be above her boss's pro-army commander. Of course, for her current state, it is extremely rare and reasonable. After all, she has a special status and a knighthood.

Guo Rong's eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes became fierce, he was definitely not an indecisive person, and he would never be soft on his enemies. He turned his head to look at Chen Shouyuan and said, "How is Zhang Yongde's side!" Speaking of this person who can compete with him the most now, Guo Rong suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.

People who are not selfish! What is in your heart is only known to you!

Guo Rong believes in Zhang Yongde, this is from the perspective of the monarch and minister, and of course from the perspective of his brother-in-law.

Guo Rong doesn't believe Zhang Yongde!

Because Guo Rong is also a human being, he also has the thinking of ordinary people. Zhang Yongde's current wife, but his cousin, is also the only bloodline behind the first emperor, and the only reasonable contender for his throne.

Although the first emperor was in danger of supporting Gu in front of the bed, he asked Zhang Yongde to be loyal to him in front of the saint. However, since ancient times, not to mention the struggle for the throne, even the distribution of property in ordinary people's homes may cause contention because of injustice. Guo Rong never really believed in Zhang Yongde, so he received a rumor on the way to the north, saying that he was the son of heaven, and Guo Rong first put Zhang Yongde under house arrest. Although Guo Rong was a little puzzled by Zhang Yongde's non-resistance and indistinguishability, he didn't think about listening to it at all.

Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter to Guo Rong, because he needs this opportunity to break down Zhang Yongde's rights.

Zhang Yongde seemed to understand this matter even more, so he simply pretended to be stupid and pretended that he didn't know anything. No matter how Guo Rong arranges it, whether it is to give himself a decent title or to take himself down because of this, he will not react.

At this time, any reaction to himself would be wrong, so Zhang Yongde simply didn't do anything, even if Guo Rong sent someone to follow him, he acted as if he didn't know.

"As Your Majesty expected, everything is normal on the horse's side, and he is not in the slightest wrong, Lao Dao also personally led people to follow him, but he found some movements of others. Lao Dao has already analyzed it, although he is not sure who it is at present, but this person is in Lao Dao's heart, and he should not be far from ten! Chen Shouyuan had a smile on his face.

He saw Guo Rong's brows furrowed, and he took a dose of medicine without squeaking, and said: "But this time I found some new problems, and sure enough, the Buddhist disciples in the capital participated, and the guards sent out by His Majesty were robbed and killed, and the people sent out by the old Taoist found their traces." If it is really a conspiracy between the Buddhists and the Jiuyang faction, then Your Majesty is really going to be ruthless! "Chen Shouyuan is not salty or light, he knows the way of control, so naturally he will not tell Guo Rong how to do it.

"In the past, I issued a strict order in the capital, and the sand gates in the capital were the first to coax, this time it seems that I really want to find the law master to see if these sand gates can practice wholeheartedly, otherwise those ancient temples in the capital will not be enough!" Guo Rong's eyelids twitched, making his face look less red, but more solemn. seemed to be in thought, but when he saw Chen Shouyuan's eyes, he was a little hot.

Outsiders have always felt that the emperor has big ambitions and rarely cares about small things, but in fact, Guo Rong knows that he cares more than anyone else. As the saying goes, good things start with small things, and he naturally doesn't want to end like this. He muttered in his heart: "The Jiuyang Sect is a scourge after all, but after all, it is also the same line of the Dao Sect, if they can show weakness to me, I will not be stingy in the Central Plains!" If they are stubborn, I will have no choice but to force them to disband the sect as I did with Shamen that day! ”

Chen Shouyuan didn't squeak, his expression was unfathomable, and he looked at Guo Rong lightly.

！！！

The grass grows and the eagle flies, and although the grass is green from a distance, it is also desolate.

From time to time, vulture eagles hover above the blue sky, screaming and hissing for a long time.

In this endless plain, yes, it looks like an endless prairie!

No one can imagine what kind of place or people have been here. All that's left here is endless meadows.

Although you can occasionally see the ruins in the weeds, and even the skulls of white bones, you can't see a single human being.

It may have been a bustling city, it may have been a bustling town, many people had lived here, and it might have been the hometown of many people.

But at the moment, there is no breath of anyone here.

Years of conquest and crusade, constant attacks and occupations between warlord feudal towns, decades of warlord division and contention, and the constant replacement of short-lived dynasties have made people forget what place it is and what it is called.

Those who came here or passed by were all passing by in a hurry or getting lost, and the original people occupied this place only for the needs of war.

Decades of continuous conquest of each other can be said to be thousands of miles away, not to mention the location of this somewhat special terrain.

It was originally a haven of happiness and a great place to live. However, because it is located in a key position and terrain, it is a place that is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it cannot be avoided every time, and it has become a battleground for soldiers.

It is rare to see high mountains in the Central Plains, but here there are high mountains in the back, and a river flows through it. The river's distant location is said to be a tributary of the Grand Canal. Because there are no more people who originally lived there, it is not known what the name of the river is.

Although the vast expanse of land in front of you and to the left is plain, you can't see too far as the eye can see. There are also mountains on the right, but they are far away, cleverly blocking the cold winter winds, making this a natural terrain.

It looks like half a basin facing the plains!

With a great plain in front and a mountain in the back, it is a wonderful place, and if you build a city in the middle, it will be a great city.

It was because of the good place that towns were built many times, but they were destroyed by the warlords who fought for it. The successive battles and plunders not only killed and scared away the people here, but also destroyed the previously built towns, because if there were no obstacles here, the army could move all the way unhindered.

Time flies, vicissitudes.

Now, I don't know when, in the overgrown basin, next to the heel of the high mountains, rows of stone houses were built, and these stone houses were very strange. All of them are stacked with stone from the mountain, and the highest is no more than two layers, and each layer is no more than three meters high.

From a distance, these houses blend in with the mountains behind them, and they seem to have grown like that by nature, and if you don't get closer, you can't tell that they are houses at all. Moreover, the house is at the foot of the mountain like a staircase, extending from the foot of the mountain bordering the basin to the mountain, and extending one back and up every other time, which is very ingenious and unique.

These stone houses are not decorated or decorated without any decoration or decoration skills, and the stones are placed in any shape, and from the outside they look like layers of stones on the mountain.

These houses are built one after another along the hill, and the houses at the foot of the hill have a slight curved design, and there is no more than a foot between the houses. Many houses have been built on both sides in turn, and the span distance reaches about a kilometer, which is extremely shocking.

There are also a few small natural trees between these houses, and the houses are deliberately built around the small trees next to the small trees, which looks more like big stones.

The layout of these houses is orderly, with a slight arc radiating outward, and then tightening up the hill in turn. When you reach the top of the house, there are only a few of them.

There is only one house at the top, but this one is bigger than the four or five below. And in the middle of the house is surrounded by a large yard of two or three acres, and the houses on three sides are half surrounded by this yard. If you stand here, you can see everything at the bottom of the mountain and even the plain in front of you.

Standing on the top of the roof, Ji Hongchang quietly looked at the mountains in the distance, his eyes were a little deep, and his face was a little thin.

He grew beards, but he didn't make them too long, and some of his handsome faces had a lot of beards, making him look more than ten years older than before, but also invisibly adding to the charm.

Ji Hongchang didn't care about his appearance, growing a beard was just because he didn't have much time to retouch, and secondly, he could make his appearance look a little different. Today is different from the past, and the hard struggle has just begun!

The choice to come to the Central Plains for development on the same day was due to careful consideration. He carefully considered Shi Wu's proposal, and Shi Wu would not make a choice easily, but he chose the new emperor Liu Jixing.

What kind of person is the emperor! Ji Hongchang didn't understand, and he didn't even have much contact.

Ji Hongchang accepted this task because he believed in Shiwu, and he believed in Shiwu's vision, not Liu Jixing.

However, with the improvement of his subordinate forces, the structure has fully functioned, and the mentality shown by the people around him has made him gradually understand Liu Jixing.

He knew that he, like many people, had completely ignored or despised the abilities and foresight of this young emperor.

Far away, he not only grasps the dynamics of the Central Plains, but also accurately analyzes the mentality of each key person. Guiding the members of the secret party to move forward and move, almost all of the major actions and arrangements in the Central Plains today came from the plan of the young emperor.
