Chapter 249: The Emperor's Shadow

Wang Pu came to the gate of Jinxiang Hall and reminded Guo Shao not to act rashly against the Iron Cavalry Barracks. Guo Shao didn't plan to move, but he still accepted Wang Pu's reminder.

Guo Shao has now lost the determination to gamble regardless of the consequences before he started. After all, when you see that you have won the battle, you are more inclined to seek stability; I want to stabilize the fruits of my earnings first, and then I am willing to ask for more.

It is necessary to wait for all 20,000 horses in the left wing of the Hujie Army to be in place and the Privy Council to stabilize most of the forbidden army before daring to move the Iron Cavalry.

At this moment, Wang Pu put a few pieces of paper on the table and pointed with his finger: "This is the defense map that the old man asked for yesterday, but the current situation is no longer suitable for implementation." This is a military order approved by the government, and it must be cancelled by a new request. ”

"The official family has ordered the queen to supervise the country, and the matter of retracting the military order only needs to ask the queen for the time being." Guo Shaodao, seeing Wang Pu gently pushing forward, subconsciously thought that he could show it to himself, so he picked it up and took a look.

Soon Guo Shao understood, rough drawings, pictures and texts, this kind of thing is simply clear to him, and it is much better to understand than to describe it in ancient Chinese. He couldn't help but glance up at Wang Pu at the moment.

Wang Pu looked calm, and said casually: "Yesterday, the old man only finished formulating it, and asked Deputy Envoy Wei to discuss it together, and then he saw the official family to ask for an order." Unexpectedly, after a day, it was out of place, and the situation was really ever-changing. ”

"That's true." Guo Shao nodded solemnly, "But no matter what the situation is, the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty cannot be changed; For the sake of the government and government, ministers who have both ability and political integrity, loyalty and righteousness cannot be changed, otherwise it will hurt the vitality of the country. When the minister saw the queen, he was going to make a speech. ”

Wang Pu picked up his things and said, "The old man has other things, so he will leave first." ”

Guo Shao hurriedly got up and sent to the door.

Not long after, Jing Niang came to see. There were soldiers in this house, she walked up to Guo Shao in armor, and whispered in his ear: "I set up eyeliner near the camp of the Iron Cavalry Army before, and I just got the news that Zhao Kuangyin is in the barracks of the old gate of Fengqiu. ”

Guo Shaoyi pondered, the old gate of Fengqiu is in the north of the city, so do you really want to go north to run the Northern Han Kingdom?

He paced back and forth in front of the table for a few steps, and immediately called Lu Chengyong, the deputy general of the personal army, to come in, and explained: "You immediately lead your own soldiers to ride lightly, go out of the inner and outer gates from the south of the city, go around the new gate of Fengqiu in the north city, and intercept it when you see a horse team going out of the city, if it is Zhao Kuangyin's people, you will be caught!" ”

Lu Chengyong asked, "Can you kill it?" ”

Guo Shao said without hesitation: "If you can catch it, if you can't catch it alive, just kill it!" ”

Lu Chengyong hugged his fists and said: "Get the order!" ”

Guo Shao now has less than 10,000 troops under full control (Gao Huaide's troops are not very useful in civil war), and he has to be deployed inside and outside the imperial city to be ready for battle at all times, and he does not dare to take risks...... Although the current situation is favorable, it is difficult for Zhao Kuangyin to turn defeat into victory, and it is the best policy to escape as soon as possible; But what if they can't afford to lose and want to break the net?

Guessing alone can't reassure Guo Shao, he must be on guard. Zhao Kuangyin's iron cavalry has more than 10,000 garrisons in each battalion, although he knows that Zhao Kuangyin has no chance to mobilize troops and form combat effectiveness (his subordinate officers and soldiers are still waiting for promotion and money, and they don't want to fight with their own people at all, and the military camp will be attacked immediately by the army before it gathers troops), but as long as the soldiers are still there, it is like a sharp sword still hanging in Guo Shao's heart.

…… At present, Guo Shao is not afraid that Zhao Kuangyin will run away, and even wishes that he would run, and the situation will be truly stable as soon as he runs.

But Zhao Kuangyin had no signs of running, Guo Shao thought for a while, and remembered someone: Zhang Yongde!

If Zhang Yongde can be co-opted, with Zhang Yongde's prestige in the front of the palace, he can be ordered to mobilize the Crane Army and gradually enter the defense area of the Iron Cavalry in the northeast of Tokyo; The first deployment of the barracks of the Iron Cavalry Army was divided and encircled, at least so that it was completely impossible for them to be screwed together.

Guo Shao got up and went out immediately, wanting to see the queen again and tell her what he thought.

He found a eunuch at the main gate of the Jinxiang Hall and told him to go in and ask for a meeting. After waiting for a while, the eunuch came out and said, "Niangniang wants to move to the emperor's bedroom to live, and ask the miscellaneous family to take General Guo to the emperor's bedroom to face the saint." ”

Guo Shao suddenly had an inexplicable jealousy in his heart, this is all a war of arms, and the queen is still willing to live with the official family...... In the end, it has been a couple for several years, and Guo Shao has no reason to blame her, but he is not happy in his heart.

Humanity is a one-day husband and wife, let alone a husband and wife for many years. After the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Shao saw the emperor and empress go in and out together, and they were seen in the military camp and the court; After the battle of Gaoping, Empress Fu also made a special trip to Daxiangguo Temple to repay his vows and pray for the blessings of the official family. In the early days of the Huainan War, Empress Fu followed the royal expedition despite the hot weather, and almost died as a result.

According to what Guo Shao saw and heard, Fu Jinzhan still had some feelings for the emperor, especially when the Fu family often went in and out of military and political occasions in the past. This time, the emperor was so sick and faint that he was so suspicious that he put the queen under house arrest...... However, one or two things obviously do not make husband and wife break off. He believes that Fu did this time because of his rights and safety, and has nothing to do with feelings.

What's more, Fu Jinzhan is obviously not a merciless person, she is about to lose her husband now, and she is not uncomfortable at all, but it is impossible. After all, people are not cold-blooded animals, and they are still somewhat emotional.

Guo Shao sighed secretly, he was not very sincere to a married woman, and it was really a torturous thing to share her heart with other men...... Fortunately, there is Second Sister Fu, at least Second Sister Fu's heart belongs to him alone. In fact, no one can force and persecute such women with high status and great backing; As long as she is slightly nicer to her, she has no need and no way to "cheat". What's more, they are ancient women, even if the atmosphere of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty was more open than that of science after the rise of science, they still abide by the influence and constraints of Confucian etiquette, and their concepts are different.

He followed the eunuch from Yongdao into the apse of the Jinxiang Palace, and was then taken to a palace room. The imperial doctor boiled medicine directly in the house outside, and there was a smell of Chinese medicine inside; The emperor should be in the dormitory inside.

Guo Shao came to the door of a warm pavilion-like room, and sure enough, he saw a gorgeous big bed inside, and people were sleeping on it.

The room looked inexplicably gloomy. It's sunny outside, and there's a ray of sunlight streaming through the roof, but it's not as bright as outside...... A dimly lit room, a miserable white light.

It's a bit like a prison, it's too dense. This situation was not at all that someone else wanted to imprison the emperor, at first he chose it himself, and he was originally lying down, and then it was impossible to move a special dormitory.

There are a group of women in the bedroom, with colored ink painted on their faces that have not yet been washed (it is estimated that it is not easy to wash off for a while), and the eunuch Cao Tai is also there. There was also Empress Fu sitting on the edge of the bed, and she may have just sensed someone coming, so she looked back.

"Cheap...... Person! Suddenly, the man on the bed scolded faintly. Isn't it the voice of the official?

Guo Shao's heart suddenly went cold, and he immediately instinctively gave birth to fear...... The emperor can still speak! He felt a little scared that he actually dared to move in front of a strong lord who had won all battles!

This mood is unreasonable, that is, there is an inexplicable sense of awe. Guo Shao was not an upper-class person in his previous life and present life, and in the face of such an emperor, he would also be shocked mentally. He has the consciousness of a modern person, but he is also a human being. Not to mention seeing the emperor, even in the previous life, I would be a little afraid when I saw a leader with a big belly and a fat head...... If modern people were really so equal, it would not be so common for people on TV to kneel down when they see a local official.

Guo Shao finally calmed down, and reminded himself vigorously: Even if you are the emperor, you can't do anything about me now! The emperor can't jump up and hit me when he's seriously ill!

He bowed quietly: "Minister Guo Shao, meet Your Majesty and the Empress." ”

"Get up." Fu Jinzhan said coldly, and then waved his hand lightly to Cao Tai. Cao Tai immediately beckoned the women to quietly retreat.

Fu Jinzhan looked Guo Shao up and down and said, "Come here." ”

Guo Shao had mixed feelings in his heart, and walked over hard, and couldn't help but see how sick the emperor was lying on the bed.

I saw that the emperor was indeed very sick, and he was so weak that he couldn't take a woman. The black spots on his face grew darker and darker, and his complexion was faint, and if it weren't for the sound of hard breathing, he looked like a dead man without life. Even if it was a big man who was once dominant, at this time there was only the breath of ugliness and death.

The Fu Marigold next to her formed a sharp contrast, although she was in her twenties, she still had youthful vitality for some reason. The white appearance, beautiful and bright colors, is full of the beauty of life everywhere.

Guo Shao suddenly had an illusion that in this dim room full of mystery, he saw two kinds of images. One represents death and the other represents life.

It's like people from two worlds, but they are husband and wife. No matter how powerful the big man is, but the most intuitive feeling...... It's like a flower stuck in a piece of rotting cow dung.

The depleted and inelastic skin was like solidified dead skin, and the lesions were like decaying corpse spots, bubbling meridians and wriggling black gray maggots.

The mystery of the emperor is because he is high up and usually cannot get close to him and observe him. But now Guo Shao observed for a while and gradually gained courage.

Maybe no matter how powerful a person is, he is also a mortal, and if he is too close to people, he will be seen through the cloak of strength.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes and saw Guo Shao standing in front of him. His gaze swept over Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan , and he immediately understood something, and immediately glared at the queen angrily: "I ...... I ...... "He seems to be eager to break the Fu Jinzhan into pieces."

Guo Shao's level, without the emperor's edict, stood alone with Fu Jinzhan in front of the emperor's sickbed? Even if Chai Rong was dizzy, he should have guessed what was going on in Tokyo and the palace......

Fu Jinzhan controlled the emperor in the court, and the previous movement of soldiers and horses must have been the people led by Fu Jinzhan's henchmen, mutiny!
