While saying that it was a misunderstanding, Guo Shao invited Wang Pu to a teahouse outside Xihuamen to have tea and snacks.Unexpectedly, Wang Pu was very proud of his face and sent someone to send his son Wang Yizheng home first, and then he ate morning tea with Guo Shao.
Outside Xihua Gate, the north is the Jinshui River.
There are many wine shops, teahouses and restaurants on the south bank of Jinshui River, and they can earn money from those who eat imperial grain; it is because there are many official offices inside and outside Xihuamen.
There are many public servants working and operating here, so it is normal for people wearing official uniforms and armor to appear. Many waiters have met high-ranking officials at the prime minister level.
Wang Pu and Guo Shao found a quiet place inside and a street outside to take a seat.
Wang Pu may know that Guo Shao is a military general, so he naturally doesn’t talk about elegant topics such as poetry, songs and essays. If you want to talk about it, I can only talk about Xiaoya Xiaoerlang’s level, just talk and joke.
Guo Shao took the initiative to speak: The last general heard from General Xiang last time that when the troops returned to the court in Jinyang, the officials were rewarded for their merits. Thanks to the recommendation of the prince, the last general was able to be promoted to the inner palace, Yuhou.I have always wanted to come to thank me, but I am afraid of abruptness.I am grateful to you, please accept a bow.
Wang Pu hurriedly waved his hand and said: Forget it, the market is not a place to bow.I recommend talents to the official family, but it is just a matter of duty, and I don’t need to thank you... Moreover, my recommendation is just an icing on the cake, and I dare not take credit; the queen also appreciates Guo Lang’s loyalty and courage.
Today, Wang Pu gave face so much that the prime minister was easily invited by a middle-level general. I am afraid that he also felt that Guo Shao had something to do with the Queen Fu family.
Guo Shao then said according to the truth: When he was young, he worked as a soldier in the Wei Palace.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say it, Wang Pu would not ask for any questions.
But it seems that Wang Pu did not believe Guo Shao's explanation at all. There are too many soldiers in the Fu family. Can everyone who has worked hard in the Fu family be promoted by the queen himself?
At this moment, Wang Pu said: Guo Lang wants to change his military post to the Guards Office, and then go to the west with Xiang Xun. You should have heard of it?
Yes, I've heard the news.Guo Shao said, it’s just that I suddenly care about so many soldiers and have no experience before, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Wang Pu said: What's the difficulty?The military power is in your hands. Apart from being unable to mobilize troops in Tokyo, you have the final say in other matters in the army.The power of life, killing, rewards and punishments is in the hands of others. How dare those generals not obey orders and dare not please you?
What the prince said is extremely true.Guo Shao pondered.He heard that Wang Pu was willing to say this, but before he could talk about something useful, he wanted to continue to encourage him.
He thought to himself: Obviously the queen is willing to promote her. She promised to marry Fu Ermei, so how could she be fun?
But the queen is a person from the harem after all, and not only can't support him personally, it's not good to send people from the inner palace too frequently and too conspicuous. It's not good to be behind the scenes that the queen is inconvenient for everything.
In this case, how could Guo Shao count on the queen for everything?
He just expects that it is very rare for the queen to support her at critical moments... What to do is rely on his own thinking about what to do.
At the moment, he was trying to find a way to make a decision on Wang Pu.
Guo Shao pondered: Having said that, after all, I am young and have little experience. If the soldiers are dissatisfied, severe punishment of the bullets with torture is not the solution.
Wang Pu nodded, paused for a while, before saying softly: The day after tomorrow, Shi Yanchao will inspect the city defenses of the outer city on the south.After saying that, he stood up and said: It was time for me to delay for a long time, so I have to return to the yamen.Let's talk about it another day.
Just now, both of them were chatting here slowly, and suddenly Wang Pu became anxious, as if he was using body language: I would like to do it myself.
Guo Shao hurriedly said: I'll send you a visit to the prince.
Shi Yanchao... The most important person in Wang Pu's words today is Shi Yanchao.
When talking about this guy, Guo Shao's first thought was that he did not ask about the fact that he had chopped up the rioters and innocent women who were plundered; then there was the scene of arrows being plundered by a straw boat.
Although Guo Shao also figured out that Shi Yanchao's approach was normal in this era, he still had a resistant attitude towards his completely despising human life.
Anyway, Guo Shao doesn’t have much affection for Shi Yanchao in private.
Of course, this does not affect the serious business. If Guo Shao has come to this point, how can he still try his best to accomplish things if he does his best?
Shi Yanchao did not die in Xinkou!If he dies, why would Wang Pu say that he wants to inspect the city defense?
This guy was the commander of the vanguard during the Battle of Jinyang, and Guo Shao knew about it at that time; what position did he do after returning to the court?
Wang Pu must have known...but he didn't say it.
Wang Pu talks nonsense when talking nonsense, and when he talks about key points, he cherishes his words like gold. Damn it!
If he explained the words more clearly and in detail, he would not have to worry about it in the barracks now.
At this moment, Wang Shenqi came into the room and asked: Is that young man the young man of Prime Minister Wang Pu?
Guo Shao nodded: Yes, yes, but his father took him home to discipline him.
The two of them laughed for a while.
Guo Shao thought to himself: Wang Shenqi may know what Shi Yanchao is doing now, so it would be easier to ask him.
However, Guo Shao recalled again that when Wang Pu said that, he was very soft and he was inconvenient to say more and he was about to leave... Perhaps this matter should not be made public.
At the last banquet at Xiang Xun Mansion, Wang Shenqi came in with Zhao Kuangyin's group of people talking and laughing, and it should be Zhao Kuangyin's people; Guo Shao certainly knew that Zhao Kuangyin was a great man from the later generation of Song Taizu, but because of this, he subconsciously took some precautions and cautiousness.
What's more, Wang Shenqi and his men are all military generals of the Palace Front Division. Guo Shao will soon leave the Palace Front Division and go to the Guard Division. It is always bad to ask them about unrelated things.
Guo Shao planned to ask Zuo You.
Zuo You has always been a small official, but he seems to be very familiar with and concerned about some matters in the officialdom. Last time he asked him to clear the Kaifeng Prefecture about Yuzhenguan, he did it very well.
Zuo You didn't know where he went in the past two days, and he didn't see him at all. After returning to Beijing, he stopped working as a clerk, and he either helped Guo Shao with his affairs or was idle all day long.
Guo Shao went out of the camp and found Luo Mengzi so that he did not have to be on duty in the military camp. He went to Zuo You's house to wait. When he found Zuo You, he asked him to meet at Guo Shao's mansion at the Youth hour.
At the hour of You, Guo Shao went home. Sure enough, he met Zuo You in front of the mansion, so he called him to speak in the living room of the outer courtyard.
Zuo You said: Shi Yanchao?What else did the lord ask Wang Shenqi? Just come back and ask me if you can just ask me!When I heard that you were promoted to Hujie Army, I had already found out about the people related to the Guards.
Guo Shao was overjoyed and thought to himself that the literati in troubled times was useless. Fortunately, Zuo You helped him... This person is unknown and unknown, and it is easy to get it, but indeed many generals cannot receive one or two truly useful aides.
Zuo Yougan's Chinese medicine doctor was not very good at hurting soldiers. I remember that people were constantly being treated to death by him on the way to Wuqi Town. However, when he returned to Tokyo, he was quite familiar with the officialdom, far beyond the knowledge of an ordinary sting official.
Zuo You said: Shi Yanchao lost the elite cavalry in the vanguard camp in Xinkou. He was first surrendered to the left wing of the Hujie Army and was deposed as the German Jiedushi. However, after returning to Tokyo, the official recounted his achievements in his courageous battle in Gaoping and promoted them again.Now he is the guard Sima, the capital of the infantry, and the governor of Zhenning.
In addition to Shi Yanchao, I also know other people from the Personal Guards Department. The commander of Li Chongjin is Li.The lord must have heard of Li Chongjin, who is the nephew of Taizu (Guo Wei); Taizu was his uncle... Zuo You came forward and whispered, Taizu was the uncle of the official family of this dynasty, but he accepted the official family as his adopted son.Taizu and Li Chongjin were even closer, at least related to blood; the official family was a relative of Taizu's wife, but they only had the title of adopted son.After I said this, can the lord understand what the official thought about Li Chongjin?
Guo Shao thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Zuo You said again: However, Li Chongjin was also a military general in the Palace Front Office before. During the Taizu period, he served in the Inner Palace Zhi, Xiaodijun, Da Neidushi, and the Commander of the Palace Front Office. He had been in the Palace Front Office... At the beginning of this year, he changed his personal military guard department, and his foundation was probably not deep in the Guard Department.
Just now, the lord said that Prime Minister Wang only mentioned Shi Yanchao, and I'm afraid he thought so too.Shi Yanchao was different. He went from Hujie Army to Longjie Army, and then to the Guard Sima Infantry Division, and kept wandering around here. After thinking and speculating, he could be sure that Shi Yanchao had many acquaintances and had a deep foundation in the Guard Si.
Guo Shao nodded frequently when he heard this. Zuo You was good at this, and he had everything he could teach.Guo Shao also felt the difference between powerful literati and grassroots literati, and the vast difference between Wang Pu and Zuo You.
Wang Pu is the prime minister. Even though he knows that Guo Shao has a relationship with the queen, he gives face, but he always has to show off and take self-identity as an airs, which makes you half understand... Zuo You is different. He is a small official, without a family, no connections with his father, and has almost no way out. When someone appreciates him, he can still care about his integrity. He will follow the front and back of the horse with all his heart.
Zuo You said again: Prime Minister Wang mentioned Shi Yanchao, so he must want you to use his accumulated power to gain a prestige in the army before going to war.Although Shi Yanchao did not directly lead the Hujie Army, he is the best candidate because you have saved his life.
Life-saving grace?Guo Shao frowned and said, "I don't think he has received much affection."General Xiang Xun has done more than me. He has lost most of his money to save Shi Yanchao's most elite. What is Shi Yanchao's attitude?
Zuo You smiled: Lord, you are also a general, and you still don’t understand the human nature of the martial artist?Then Shi Yanchao just slapped the fat man in a swollen face and suffered from face!I think I am the best in the world and I am just condescending to myself. In fact, as long as I am a human being, how can I not be able to have any grudges?As long as you take the initiative to find him and give him enough face, Shi Yanchao will definitely go down the steps.
Outside Xihua Gate, the north is the Jinshui River.
