Inside Donghua Gate, an eunuch outside the hall shouted: Your Majesty is here!
After hearing this, Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stood up from the stool. After a moment, they saw Chai Rong walking in from the palace gate under the huddle.
Chai Rong was not wearing military uniforms or dragon robe, but was still wearing a large purple round-collar robe and a black hat on his head.
The two people in the hall knelt on the ground and shouted: I will bow to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has no limits of life.
Chai Rong stepped forward and helped one with one hand. He actually helped the two of them up and said, "My dear, please be equal."He helped the person up and sat down directly.
There is only one chair on the top, which is not a regular throne and is not far away.
When Guo Shao got up from the ground, his eyes drooped slightly, but he observed Chai Rong's expression with his after-light light, and could not see anything strange.
I felt that Chai Rong's face was really pale, and there were some strange dark spots on his cheeks.
Chai Rong indeed noticed Zhao Kuangyin in white.
Zhao Kuangyin's face and neck were black and red, but his body was white, which was really eye-catching.
But the emperor did not ask about his funeral, and turned his eyes to Guo Shao and said: Those two files are issued by me to show you, and I will ask you about your recent events in person.You all saw the case investigated by the Left Department of Kaifeng Prefecture. What do you think?
The emperor's eyes were on Guo Shao. Guo Shao could not obscenely listen to the emperor's questions. He immediately bowed and nervously organized the French words to speak, while saying: When it comes to Your Majesty's words, I think Kaifeng Prefecture is investigated more carefully, and testimony and case recommendation make sense... The assassination case of the Zhao family Sanlang was recorded in the file. The murderer was the Zhao Mansion that was entered in the third year of Guangshun, and this person has no relationship with me.I am not the one who will retaliate against the slightest. Please give your Majesty a clear guide.
Guo Shao deliberately did not say whether Zhao San had conspired to assassinate him.
Only talking about Dong Er's murder is to defend himself and belong to defense; saying that Zhao San's assassination is to attack the other party, and belong to offense... Since he asked Guo Shao to say it first, he would do more conservatively first; he would just excuse himself, but not bite the other party to attack.
Because Guo Shao had already figured it out before that, Zhao Kuangyin did not speak ill of him as soon as he came. Why should he rush to argue with him?It’s better to calm down and see what his attitude and reaction are.
The recent events, no matter how complicated the process is, who is right or wrong; the result is that Guo Shao is standing here happily and lively, but two people died in the Zhao family.
Zhao Kuangyin suffered heavy losses. Even if Zhao San was at fault, he was dead... There was no need to give Guo Shao an explanation.
Guo Shao thought: It is meaningless to attack this matter again, and it is impossible to attack Zhao Kuangyin if it becomes an ironclad case.
Zhao San’s crime was not a serious crime that would implicate his tribe, and it was difficult to involve Zhao Kuangyin as well.
What's more, Chai Rong trusted and relied heavily on Zhao Kuangyin. He probably wouldn't treat Zhao Kuangyin like this because of this... Although Guo Shao also made great contributions and performed very well in the wars launched by Chai Rong, he was still a little worse than Zhao Kuangyin in terms of closeness and alienation, otherwise he wouldn't have been in the Guards' Office.
At this moment, Chai Rong nodded slightly and turned to look at the black-faced man.
Zhao Kuangyin said: A few days ago, I heard that General Guo met an assassin and all the clues were related to my third brother.After returning, I also questioned my third brother, but my third brother said in front of me that it was not his doing... I also looked at the case file, and there were two things that were not very credible.The first is the motive for the crime, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that the third brother is jealous of the general for a woman; the second is whether Li Xia'er was instructed by the third brother, and the case file is vague and relies on inference only.
Moreover, based on the knowledge of his brothers, Sanlang was studying since childhood and had not experienced fighting. He was gentle and polite at home, and was not as good as others, and was less than eighteen years old.I think it is strange to say that people like Saburo can do something vicious.
When Guo Shao heard that Zhao Kuangyin had to defend him, he felt a little unhappy because he had already determined that the person who did that was Zhao San; however, Zhao Kuangyin did not catch Zhao San's death, and it was against Guo Shao's head, but he was actually very restrained.
Zhao Kuangyin's restraint made Guo Shao feel incredible, because from the result, Zhao Kuangyin is the victim, and even if he attacks Guo Shao, it is understandable... He can tolerate his father and brother after he dies, so why should he tolerate it?
Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin being the founding emperor in history, Guo Shaocai had to guess: only with greater ambitions can he endure the pain in front of him.
Zhao Kuangyin is not Zhao San, a teenager. He will not be dragged into the water together for hatred and eradication of enemies... Only by thinking so can Guo Shao understand why Zhao Kuangyin acted so restrained today.
At this time, Chai Rong asked directly: Zhao Kuangyin, do you think Sanlang's death is related to Guo Shao?
Zhao Kuangyin bowed and said: I would like to ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision.
Sure enough, even though he was unwilling to expand the conflict, he became hostile to Guo Shao and spoke with one hand... If the emperor wanted to help punish Guo Shao, Zhao Kuangyin's ambiguous attitude would obviously be happy.
Chai Rong nodded and said: I called you both into the palace and told you about this matter in person, just to hear what you think about it.
Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao both listened very carefully to what the emperor said.
Chai Rong sighed again and said: Now the major event is not completed and the Northern Expedition is about to be imminent.Although the Khitan king was called "Sleeping Emperor", I observed that this person had a bad reputation and was not completely incompetent. The internal chaos in the Khitan king was related to the old events of the previous dynasty, and it cannot be entirely blamed on the current Khitan king.Although its domestic chaos and its strength has not been greatly damaged, it is still the biggest enemy in our country!And you two are the generals I rely on. If you are internally fouled, lose your military strength, or even cause any turbulence and losses in the country, I will never let you go!
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao bowed.
Chai Rong also said: The army of the Guards performed very well in the Huainan Battle, which made me very pleased. In the upcoming Northern Expedition to Khitan, I hope General Guo can conquer cities and territories, tug of war on the north, and make new contributions!The various ministries in front of the palace are even more elites of our Great Zhou, and I have high hopes.It would be best if the two of you could dispel the grudges; otherwise, they would not be able to influence the plan of the Northern Expedition due to personal details!Whoever contributes the most to my efforts to recover Youzhou will rely more on whom I will never be biased.
He then said earnestly: I hope you should put the overall situation first and do not lose my wish.
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly kowtowed and said: I am the chief magistrate of the front office of the palace. I bear the heavy trust of Your Majesty and the great responsibility of the country. How dare I do my best to drive His Majesty forward?I will never delay Your Majesty's ambitions due to personal grudges!
After hearing this, Chai Rong said with great relief: Zhao Aiqing can always understand my heart and solve my problems. You will definitely not put me in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Guo Shao quickly knelt down and expressed his opinion: I must put national affairs first and dare not care about minor matters.
Seeing this, Chai Rong came up to help them up again, and the previous grudges were put aside. Moreover, I thought there were differences in the matter and everything was not caused by you two. It was understandable.But in the future, I want you not to repay your grudges with grudges, can you do it?If you have no jokes in front of you, you just swear not to care about it in front of me?
Zhao Kuangyin looked serious and immediately raised his hand and said: I swear in front of Your Majesty that I will never do unjust things to General Guo because of personal grudges!
Is it really useful to swear?
However, what the emperor said before was probably useful, so Guo Shao hurriedly faced the sky with his palm and made an oath: I am willing to ignore past grudges and cooperate with Zhao to assist His Majesty in attacking the Khitan.
Chai Rong was very satisfied with this and nodded and said: Very good, very good!My humeral general should be a talented person with a broad mind and a broad mind!
The emperor comforted the two of them again, ordered some money to reward them, and sent palace servants to the mansion with Zhao Kuangyin to attend the funeral.The two of them thanked each other very much and bid farewell to the emperor and walked out from the hall one after another.
Zhao Kuangyin walked in front and Guo Shao was at the back for a distance, and the two of them were speechless.
Guo Shao was quite satisfied with the result. When he went out to see the sunshine, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally passed this level... because he never thought that the emperor would give up Zhao Kuangyin in order to give him justice, which was absolutely impossible.
However, Zhao Kuangyin may be quite depressed. Two relatives died in his family, and in the end they had to leave it alone.
But Guo Shao also understood why Chai Rong wanted to be a peacemaker: the emperor was determined to recover Youyun and was unwilling to lose the general due to internal strife.
His attitude towards Guo Shao, one of the words: conquering cities, tug of strength and tug of war on the important cities in North China, and making new contributions inadvertently exposed his holy heart... Chai Rong was still thinking about Guo Shao's powerful siege and wanted him to help attack the city when he was fighting Hebei.
Those cities in Hebei are bigger and more stable, and the cities are very difficult to fight.
If Guo Shao is worthless, it would be hard to say whether Chai Rong would still take into account justice and truth today.And once Youzhou is captured, will the birds be buried with bows?
Guo Shao found that thin beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, and subconsciously wiped his sleeves gently.
In short, this matter can come to an end for the time being. Guo Shao feels that he is not very dangerous at the moment; but in the long run, the danger is even greater.
Now that the emperor protects him, Zhao Kuangyin, who is so conscious of the current affairs, is unlikely to rush to do something or to do what the emperor wants, so Guo Shao should be worry-free... But when the future happens, there is no guarantee at all; Zhao Kuangyin's oath cannot guarantee anything, there are a hundred ways to not violate the oath and put the other party to death.
The two of them were led by eunuchs and left Donghuamen.
Zhao Kuangyin calmly asked his servant to lead his horse over. This guy was not afraid of ambushing the streets with crossbows, and he acted very calmly. When he took the reins, he turned around and gently clasped his fists at Guo Shao before getting on the horse.
Guo Shao also quickly bowed his gift and watched him turn up high and head-headed horse.Then he walked to his carriage. He said in his heart that he was afraid of dying and was more at ease when he was riding a carriage.
After hearing this, Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stood up from the stool. After a moment, they saw Chai Rong walking in from the palace gate under the huddle.
Chai Rong was not wearing military uniforms or dragon robe, but was still wearing a large purple round-collar robe and a black hat on his head.
