Chapter 534: Between Brothers

When he was in the Daqing Palace, Guo Chong listened to this letter of state, and he was about to kill the unruly messenger on the spot. Many officials of the DPRK and China were also filled with righteous indignation, accused on the spot, and demanded that the Liao envoy be killed. But he was stopped by Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun.

Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun's reason is actually very simple, it is easy to kill the messenger, but it is not easy to do things after killing the messenger. Lu Zhongtian said that after killing the envoy, the two countries would be hostile, and there would be no room for maneuver. Yang Jun said that the envoy can be killed, but please allow him to transfer troops and generals, and allocate weapons, grain and grass, so that Yanyunbian Town and City are ready for battle. Because once the Liao envoy is killed, the next thing will be a war. You can't fight an unprepared battle.

The words of the two important ministers of the court made Guo Chong calm down. He could not fail to consider the consequences of a war with the Liao. Once the end of the war starts, there will be no peace. According to what Yan Zhengsu told him some time ago and what he knew, it seems that Da Zhou does not have enough money and food to support the war with Liao. All of this needs to be thought through.

So Guo Chong angrily retreated and hid in Wenbao Pavilion to be quiet. He wanted to think about what to do. This is a very tricky matter, and if it is not handled properly, it can have a huge impact. Going to war or compromising on the other side's terms can have bad consequences, but the lesser of two evils is the right thing to do. Don't act impulsively. And if he looked at the arrogant Liao envoy's face in the palace, or even if the Liao envoy put forward some excessive requirements when he put forward specific conditions, he would not be able to get off the stage. Therefore, it is better to leave the Liao envoy to Lu Zhongtian and they will deal with it, and then go back and listen to the conditions of the Liao people this time.

After venting, Guo Chong's mood calmed down a bit. He was glad that he didn't impulsively order the Liao envoy to be killed, so things didn't get too bad. So things are actually still under control.

Guo Chong took a sip of iced sour plum soup, got up and walked to the door, looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and his brows stretched a lot. At this time, under the side corridor, a tall figure was coming from afar, Guo Chong saw this figure, and his brows furrowed again. The one who came was his younger brother Guo Bing.

"Brother knock to see the emperor!" Guo Bing approached quickly, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Guo Chong looked at the younger brother who was crawling on the ground, and said lightly: "You are here, get up." Someone came to give the throne of the king. ”

Guo Bing hurriedly thanked him and got up, and followed Guo into the house. Li Lin moved a stool and placed it on the side of the table, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”

Guo Bing was indifferent, and only bowed down and stood in front of Guo Chong.

Guo Chong frowned and asked, "Why don't you sit?" ”

Guo Bing said in a deep voice: "The younger brother doesn't dare to sit, the younger brother is here to ask the imperial brother for guilt." ”

The corners of Guo Chong's mouth curled: "Please? What is the sin? ”

"Brother...... Done something that would be detrimental to royal decency. The royal brother should already know. Guo Bing said cautiously.

Guo Chong frowned and said, "You mean...... Cai Wei's recruitment of a son-in-law? ”

Guo Bing nodded and said in a low voice: "That's exactly what happened." The younger brother is guilty, Cai Wei's marriage was supposed to be approved by the queen mother and the imperial brother, but the younger brother made the decision without authorization, and used the method of catching his son-in-law under the list, which was too unseemly. The younger brother was so ashamed that he came to ask the royal brother for his guilt. ”

Guo Chong frowned and looked at Guo Bing for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you seen the queen mother?" ”

Guo Bing hurriedly said: "I've seen it." When I entered the palace, the emperor's brother was in the early dynasty, so I went to the Yangyi Palace first to see the queen mother. ”

Guo Chong showed a look that was really like this, and said lightly: "What did the queen mother say?" ”

"Queen Mother...... Scolded me severely, saying that I was too hasty. Lost royal legacy. But...... The queen mother also said later that this is already the case, and that is the only way. The new champion is Wei'er's husband, but he is barely matched, and he is not too aggrieved Caiwei. Guo Bing said in a low voice.

Guo Chong nodded and said, "Since the queen mother has said so, what else do I have to say?" You don't have to plead guilty. But...... Second brother, what you did in this matter is really out of place. Not to mention that you didn't tell me and the queen mother in advance, it would be too bad to say that you and Qian Qianyi fought on the street for people. You are my own brother, and some people will say that you are bullying others with your royal status, and will give people a reason to attack the royal family. There are many people who are desperate to find an opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble, and you are giving them a chance. Moreover, what kind of excitement did you go to catch your son-in-law under the list? ”

"Brother Huang, the younger brother knows that he is wrong, and the younger brother will go to apologize to Qian Qianyi. As for the matter of catching a son-in-law, in fact...... The younger brother thinks that Lin Jue, the champion of the new department, is indeed Cai Wei's good couple, Cai Wei has long been in love with Lin Jue, and I also love my daughter, if I don't rob it, Lin Jue will become Qian Qianyi's son-in-law, so I made this decision. The younger brother knew that what he had done was wrong, so he came to ask for sin. ”

"Oh? Cai Wei and Lin Jue knew each other before? Yes, Lin Jue is from Hangzhou, and you have had a relationship before. Lin Jue is literary and handsome, and he is handsome, so it's no wonder that Cai Wei has a heart for him. You are also a loving father, you love your daughter with a heart, and when you see that your daughter's sweetheart has been robbed, you go to snatch it back. Well...... There is nothing wrong with that. There is no need to apologize to Qian Qianyi, since it is a son-in-law, naturally whoever grabs it is whose ability. My royal children are also going to get married, and if they rob them, they will rob them, and if they beat them, so what? I don't care about gossip. Guo Chong said lightly.

Guo Bing said in surprise: "Thank you Brother Huang, Brother Huang doesn't blame the younger brother, the younger brother is grateful." ”

Guo Chong sneered and said, "You knew that I wouldn't blame you, so you dared to do this, right?" ”

Guo Bing was stunned and said, "Brother Chen...... How can you know? ”

Guo Chong smiled: "You don't quibble, you and I were born from the same mother, how can I not understand your mind?" I know all those little tricks of yours. The queen mother's garden has no money to build, did you promise the queen mother a few days ago to complete the construction for her? You're very generous, you don't blink an eye for millions of taels of silver. I, the emperor, had to stop the silver of the queen mother's Jiangen Garden. The queen must have praised you. So if you know about robbing your son-in-law, the queen mother must just blame her gently. And if the queen mother does not blame, I must not blame you. You're a bit clever. ”

Guo Chong said this, looked at Guo Bing with a smug sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "Don't think you can hide from my eyes." I have always watched you take the opportunity to curry favor with your mother. You know that the queen mother will not blame you, so you go to see the queen mother today and ask for her forgiveness before you come to see me. I am the most filial to my mother, so naturally I can't blame you anymore. You can't hide these thoughts. ”

Guo Bing was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't misunderstand, it was the filial piety of the imperial brother to build a Gen Garden for the queen mother, but the finances of the imperial court were tight, and some people came out to make irresponsible remarks, so the imperial brother had to suspend the allocation of silver taels for construction." At this point, the younger brother knows the difficulties of the imperial brother. The younger brother did agree to the queen mother to take out her private money to help the queen mother complete the construction of the Gen Garden, but the younger brother said that it was in the name of the younger brother and the royal brother. ”

"In the name of common?" Guo Chong frowned.

"Yes, Gen Yuan still needs to spend 2.3 million taels of silver to complete, and what the younger brother told his mother is that the emperor sold his private collection to raise 1.3 million taels, and the younger brother also raised 1 million taels, and our brothers have made up the money together. If you don't believe it, the royal brother can go and ask the queen mother to find out. How dare the younger brother let the royal brother bear the reputation? The royal brother is the lord of the world, and the courtiers must maintain the royal brother's prestige and reputation regardless of public or private. Guo Bing said in a deep voice.

Guo Chong was stunned for a long time, frowned, and said, "In this way, I am wrong to blame you." ”

Guo Bing hurriedly said: "This matter is also to blame on the younger brother, who did not tell the imperial brother." During this time, the imperial brother was very busy, and the younger brother didn't want to disturb the imperial brother with these things. The minister's brother can't help the royal brother with anything in state affairs, so he naturally has to do his best in family affairs. The younger brother knew that the imperial brother blamed himself for the suspension of the construction of the Empress Mother's Garden, and the younger brother was smashing the pot and selling iron to relieve the royal brother's worries, so that the queen mother could be happy and peaceful, and the imperial brother could also govern the country with peace of mind. That's all the brother can do. ”

Guo Chong looked at Guo Bing in a daze, not knowing what to say. He has always been wary of his younger brother, and as long as he has the opportunity, Guo Chong will never let this younger brother go. However, this younger brother seems to be too smart, and he is obedient to himself when he is young, and he doesn't even have much reason to find fault with him. At present, Guo Bing is still doing things without leakage, whether it is the birthday gift of the queen mother, or the current matter of the continuation of the construction of the silver in Genyuan, Guo Bing is extremely interesting. Guo Chong even had some doubts in his heart if he was too harsh on this younger brother. Maybe he's just a thoughtless brother of his own, isn't he thinking too much.

However, Guo Chong was not so easily moved by this kind of thing, what he wanted to protect was much more important than all the things in this world combined, so he would never allow himself to make mistakes, and he would not easily believe anything. Guo Bing's actions may be a sincere respect and maintenance for himself, but how can it not be a means to hide to the deepest depths? Heart-to-heart? That's impossible. Give up your guard? That's even more impossible.

However, for Guo Bing's actions, he still needs to be encouraged and comforted. After all, this younger brother has taken out a lot of real money over the years and solved a lot of problems for himself. Although his filial piety to his mother comes from the bottom of his heart, he also needs silver to support him. The queen mother likes luxury, and even her own son, who is the emperor, is sometimes powerless. The use of the treasury money is always criticized, and it is a good thing that this brother who can accumulate wealth is willing to contribute the silver to fulfill his filial piety.

"Second brother, you are very good. Since I was a child, you have been very well-behaved and have great respect for my brother. Although you and my brother have not gotten together much over the years, in my heart, you have always been that well-behaved second brother. And so it turned out. Guo Chong smiled.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother has no ability, and he can't share anything for the royal brother. But the courtier's respect for the royal brother has never changed. Every time I hear people say that the emperor's brother works hard for state affairs, he is exhausted, and he can't sleep at night, and his ministers are distressed. Brother Huang, you must take care of the dragon body, all over the Great Zhou, hundreds of millions of subjects are counting on Brother Huang. Guo Bing said in a deep voice.

"I'll take care of myself. Hey, don't tell the second brother that it's a big week, and it's really complicated, and it's hard to deal with. But now that this burden has fallen on me, I can only carry it on. I hope that the second brother and even all the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty don't have to worry about it, and I will take care of such worries. I am suffering alone, and everyone in the world is happy, and I am willing. Guo Chong sighed.
