When Guo Shaogang returned to Tokyo, he heard about Li Jixun’s proclamation and reprimanding.
The governor of Huaizhou defected and on the eve of Li Jixun's rebellion, he ran back to Tokyo to report the matter.
In this world, civil officials are easy to control than martial artists, and most civil officials will listen to whoever sit on the throne in the capital.
In the ceremony hall in the southern part of the imperial city, Guo Shao met with the governor of Zezhou.
Two months ago, Li Jixun released prisoners from three cities, interfered in local government affairs in prefectures and counties, and recruited craftsmen and strong men everywhere.Receive money, grain, iron, saltpeter, sulfur...
Saltpeter, sulfur?Guo Shao immediately noticed this detail. He was more sensitive to these things, because gunpowder was rarely used by the government except for Taoist priests and firework merchants.
The gunpowder used by Taoists and the gunpowder used by fireworks were all things made by the ancients themselves. The formula was very crude. Although it was used for military use in the late Tang Dynasty, it was basically useless.
Li Jixun used gunpowder to do something... Guo Shao immediately thought of Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin knew the gunpowder formula for bombing the city!Only the gunpowder prescriptions that Guo Shao tested in Shouzhou have some military value. The gunpowder in this era is a scary thing.
After the Battle of Shouzhou, Chai Rong forced and tempted Guo Shao to offer Fang Zi, but the Fang Zi did not spread, but Zhao Kuangyin was the core member of Chai Rong. Zhao Kuangyin knew... Therefore, when Zhao Sanlang instructed the assassin to assassin in the inn, he brought out gunpowder to blow Guo Shao to death.
At that time, Guo Shao had no choice but to face Chai Rong's pressure, but he also kept a move. A few years ago, he thought about whether Zhao Kuangyin could be an emperor and would be an enemy of him in the future, so there were a few details that were not revealed...
First, purify saltpeter by chemistry experiments in middle schools.
Dissolve filtration, steaming and crystallization to remove impurities, and then use a sieve to roughly sieve sodium nitrate crystals of different sizes and shapes.
Without purification methods, the impurity of the gunpowder mastered by the court further affects the mixing ratio of raw materials and reduces its power.
Second, find the mixing ratio of raw materials by classification experiment.The prescription is dead, and the method is alive.Others only got fish, but not fish.
Third, pellet the gunpowder, add water and pound it together, and crush it into sieve the particles.
Guo Shao personally tested that the burning speed of granulated gunpowder is more than three times higher than that of powdery... The power of burning and explosion without granulation is reduced several times.
Fourth, airtightness.Gunpowder is burning and ignition without extra attention. The explosion is very powerful.
If you fail to do all four details, it is almost impossible to blow up the city wall... When Guo Shao used the modern insights and knowledge that he could use in his memory and tried his best to overdo it, he succeeded.
It would be impossible for an ancient man, even if Zhang Liang was reincarnated, without these methods and wanted to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall in an instant.
...The news from the governor, the most important role, made Guo Shao guess: Zhao Kuangyin voted for Li Jixun!
The governor of Zezhou was still rumoring to report all kinds of news, but Guo Shao basically didn't listen... He could guess what Li Jixun wanted to do.The person Guo Shao is paying the most attention to now: Zhao Kuangyin!
Zhao Kuangyin almost completely failed after the Tokyo Mutiny, and the world no longer cared about him.
But Guo Shao has a special persistence and cannot ignore this person...the symptoms caused by modern historical knowledge.
Who doesn’t know about Emperor Tang and Emperor Song?
Guo Shao thought for a long time, and now he has no way to deal with Zhao Kuangyin unless he destroys Li Jixun first.But he remembered another person who was still in Tokyo: Zhang Yongde.
It is no exaggeration to Zhang Yongde for Zhao Kuangyin's kindness.
Zhao Kuangyin was trusted by Chai Rong, but Guo Shao knew very well about the things before and after the Battle of Gaoping that year... Without Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin was not even an imperial guard general, and he was also an official in Kaifeng Prefecture Ma Zhi's office; without Zhang Yongde spared no effort to ask for credit for Zhao Kuangyin in front of the emperor many times, Chai Rong didn't even know who Zhao Kuangyin was, so why would he talk about reuse and promotion?
Zhang Yongde's kindness to Zhao Kuangyin is no less than that of the ten brothers in the Yishe Society.
However, Guo Shao also thought: During the Tokyo Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to force Zhang Yongde to wear a long robe. Should he use and harm him, or should he repay Zhang Yongde's kindness?
And Zhang Yongde ran away very cleverly.
... It doesn't matter what a person says or thinks.Guo Shao suddenly spoke, the most important thing is to see what he did at the critical moment.
The governor of Zezhou was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to accept Guo Shao's words.
Guo Shao immediately determined that Zhang Yongde did nothing wrong at critical moments, at least when he had power, he should give his glory and wealth to Zhang Yongde.
What exactly Zhang Yongde had thought about and whether he wanted to be an emperor; Guo Shao had no way to know.
But a person's idea is innocent, because people often think of many things, maybe they have thought of evil crimes, maybe they have won the lottery, maybe they have thought of someone's beautiful wife sleeping with them... Who has never thought about things that shouldn't be themselves?
Just think about it, most things will not be done.
At this moment, the eunuch Cao Tai walked to the door of the hall, shook the whisk, and bowed: The Empress Dowager summoned General Guo and entered the palace immediately.
After hearing this, Guo Shao said to the governor of Zezhou: Envoy Zhang is loyal and commendable, and does not join forces with the rebels, which also brings important news. The court will definitely appreciate and commend Zhang.
The governor of Zezhou was long and worshipped: I dare not mention rewards for the sake of the king's fortune.
Eunuch Cao, didn’t you come to the palace to discuss matters at the time of Si (9:00 to 11:00 in the morning)?Guo Shao asked casually.
Cao Tai said: The Empress Dowager must meet General Guo alone in advance.
Please trouble Eunuch Cao to lead the way.Guo Shao said.
Cao Tai seemed to remember the squinted courtesy that Shi Yanchao received when he saw Shi Yanchao in front of the palace, and hurriedly said: General Guo is too polite.
Guo Shao entered Xuande Gate and Daqing Gate, and went to Jinxiang Hall, and entered the back hall from the corridor on the side of the high stone steps.
When I arrived at the palace where I saw Fu Jinzhan a few times before, I looked in through a thin wall of wooden frames, silk-mounted silk like a screen, and saw Fu Jinzhan wearing a yellow robe and walking in front of the carved window.
Guo Shao came in, and the women retreated one after another, and stood at the palace gate.
I bow to the Queen Mother.Guo Shao performed the ceremony of bowing and worshiping according to etiquette.
Fu Jinzhan turned around, and her snow-white and beautiful face was more noble by the bright yellow silk.
But her face seemed not very good and said: Get up... Li Chongjin and Li Jixun are too shameless!She threw a piece of paper onto the table.
Is it Li Jixun’s manifesto?Guo Shao asked calmly, I have seen it.
Fu Jinzhan said in a deep voice: They fabricated rumors and said that I and you... Speaking of this, their faces were complicated, and shame and anger were mixed together.
In the past and now, Guo Shao has never seen Fu Jinzhan show much emotions in front of others. She is originally a person who can control her emotions. Even Zhou Taizu praised her calm demeanor in the face of danger. She is only better than the heroes at that time... But this does not mean that she has no feelings and can see everything.
Before, she just couldn't say that she could only rely on herself.
Now, she is willing to express her emotions in front of Guo Shao, which is rare in itself.
Guo Shao knew that all she wanted was a few words of comfort, which made her feel better.
There is no such thing as the person who is qualified to comfort her.
Just like last time in the conversation, Fu Jinzhan finally made it clear: I just want to hear your sweet words, but what are you talking about with me?
However, for a smart person like Fu Jinzhan, it is impossible to comfort her if it makes no sense.Guo Shao thought hard for a while before he spoke: Has the Empress Dowager read Luo Binwang's "Edict on Martial Arts"?
Read it.Fu Jinzhan looked at him with anticipation.
Guo Shao said: After seeing this, Wu Zetian smiled without aggrievingly, praising Luo Binwang's articles for being very literary.
Fu Jinzhan said quietly: I am not Wu Zetian, I am not that big-bellied.When those people scold me, I get angry and feel humiliated!And... she whispered, you know, too... I can't have a clear conscience.
Guo Shao said: People in the world don’t believe in such a curse, what else do the Empress Dowager cares about? There is no need to be ashamed. Even if we always treat each other with courtesy and abide by ethics, Li Jixun will still scold him like this because he rebelled and there is no need to worry about angering the Queen Mother; it is not to take responsibility for swearing, but to rebel.
On the contrary, even if we are really as dirty as the manifesto writes, the people in the world will not scold us if the gods and men are jealous of each other and the heaven and earth are not tolerated.
First of all, people do not know what is happening in the palace, and secondly, they have to bear serious responsibility after being scolded.
So nothing we do or not do is useless. The enemy does not care about the facts, just say them; others do not care about the facts, because they do not care about their business and do not affect their interests.Unless it is done too clearly, and there are people who are good at catching up on the wind and shadows and unofficial history, then admitting it is not harmful to the will of heaven. What kind of gods and man can't tolerate it?
Guo Shao said kindly again: The ancients said that guarding the people is more important than guarding against rivers. Others can't help but care about anything they say.There are no real distortions and rumors, only stupid people will believe them, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to care too much.
Guo Shao himself has also created rumors about the rape and murder case of Zhao San, but he did it carefully and there is a lot of real and false evidence to prove it... Of course, the biggest evidence is that Zhao Kuangyin failed.
This kind of thing is a matter of position, it's just that.
Fu Jinzhan looked a little relieved after hearing this. She pondered for a moment and looked at Guo Shao and said: You said it doesn’t matter, I seem to be much better... She said softly, General Guo is a military general, why are the people around you so comfortable?
Guo Shao whispered: Because I treat the Empress Dowager with my heart.Then will Zhao Kuangyin, Li Jixun and others feel comfortable?
Fu Jinzhan was amused and smiled and said: Li Jixun is afraid that he will hate you now so much that he gritted his teeth.
Maybe they hated me not, thinking I was just a tool; the person they hated was the Queen Mother.Guo Shao said that the people in the world who are ready to move are very afraid of the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother was quite artistic after the regent.
My governance measures are still acceptable?Fu Jinzhan asked softly.
Guo Shaopang: Very superb and very wise. In this world, heroes and heroes cannot stand firm when the regime is handed over, so they only changed the five dynasties and five surnames in fifty years; in comparison, the replacement of imperial power in the Grand Duchong Dynasty was just a casual matter.
The governor of Huaizhou defected and on the eve of Li Jixun's rebellion, he ran back to Tokyo to report the matter.
In this world, civil officials are easy to control than martial artists, and most civil officials will listen to whoever sit on the throne in the capital.
