5days ago traverse Novels 2
The next morning, Guo Shao had to clean up when he suddenly reported that Prime Minister Wang Pu came to the door.It is no trivial to visit the gate early in the morning.Guo Shao walked quickly to the mansion gate and ordered: Open the door.

After the door opened, he stepped out of the threshold and saw Wang Pu wearing purple official robe and black veil. There were also a group of ceremonial guards and two civil officials in green robes, all dressed in official uniforms... One of the officials, Guo Shao, also knew Lu Duosun, who had been ordered to go to Qin Feng, the northwest to commend soldiers.

When Wang Prime Minister came to the door in person, he suddenly felt the glory of the sky.Guo Shao said in a prayer.

Wang Pu also replied: General Guo, I will pass the order today.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: Please.

The group entered the mansion and Wang Pu stood in the north of the living room, and then took out a piece of paper, a piece of paper that was not of any particularity.Wang Pu said: The official’s handwriting is accepted by the emperor.

Guo Shao then respectfully stepped forward and took it with his hands. He opened it and saw it. It said: Summon Guo Shao to the inner saint and ask Wang Pu to call him in person.

Wang Pu said quietly: It is the official handwriting, General Guo is relieved.

When Guo Shao heard what he said, he immediately understood.Now at a moment when the atmosphere is a bit tense, Guo Shao has indeed not studied the emperor's handwriting.

I will take the imperial edict from Your Majesty.Guo Shao pretended to be calm and asked me to prepare and change my clothes.

Wang Pu said: OK, let’s wait for General Guo here.Wait and send General Guo into the palace.

When Guo Shao was ready to go out, he suddenly saw Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi, Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan, Zuo You and others outside the door were already at the door. When he saw Guo Shao, he asked something.

Guo Shao said: I just received the imperial edict from Your Majesty and went to the palace to meet the holy.

Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi said they wanted to go to the palace gate together, but Li Chuyun said: No, since General Guo has something to do and cannot see guests, let's leave.

Guo Shao felt that Li Chuyun was still more steady and thought to himself: If something really happened, what's the use of such a few people going?

But the general and there are no soldiers around him, but they are gathered together to catch them all?

It's better to stay in the military camp.

He immediately took a car and left the mansion with Wang Pu and others.

The curtains of the carriage were crackling and loudly blew by the wind, just like Guo Shao's turbulent mood.

Wang Pu came on a horse, but it was not very good to ride a horse and follow the carriage when he returned. He was invited by Guo Shao and took the same carriage.

The two of them were speechless.

Wang Pu and Guo Shao’s relationship is actually good, but they are just good friends.

In later dynasties, civil officials fought to the death, but in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they were very low-key because the generals were killing each other; civil officials were also more aware of the current affairs and would support whoever had a soldier.

Wang Pu and Li Chuyun and other military generals are not the same type of people. Even if Guo Shao falls, Wang Pu will still be an official... Maybe he doesn't want to see such a thing from his personal connection, but he won't involve himself because of this.

Halfway through the way, Wang Pu said in a casual tone: Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of the Palace Front Office, will also enter the palace.

Although Wang Pu said so casually, because the sentence was silenced for a long time, it was abrupt when a sentence suddenly appeared.

After hearing this, Guo Shao hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: I will remember Prime Minister Wang’s reminder today.

Wang Pu said calmly: Wherever you are, I just remembered it and said casually.

The group stopped when they arrived at Donghua Gate, and Guo Shao and Wang Pu got out of the car and walked.

As soon as Guo Shao got off the car, he was stabbed by Chaoyang, and his clothes were blown away by the wind... Suddenly, he felt that the dust was flying on the street.

It was clearly a sunny day, but the sun seemed to be pale, as if the sky was covered with haze.

Guo Shao turned around and saw a towering palace city in front of him. The double-eaved tower at the entrance of the palace was simple and grand, and tall.

The palace buildings at this time were different from the style of the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that Guo Shao had seen. The palace buildings at this time were more magnificent, but the colors were simple and monotonous, not as bright as the Forbidden City, so they had a more solemn and majestic spirit.

The emperors and dynasties of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were exchanged relatively quickly, but the imperial power and emperors still had great deterrence. When Guo Shao came here, he felt a little embarrassed.

Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin are both real men. They are not people who are used to escaping, nor are they just secretly intrigues. They all have the courage to face things when they encounter problems!

Guo Shao also has to face... walking towards the palace gate, as if he is entering a war without gunpowder!

In just a few years, Guo Shao has experienced many life-and-death tests and critical competitions, most of which are bloody on the battlefield.

Today, there are no swords and iron horses and no smoke on the battlefield, but he realizes that he has to go through another test.

Wang Pu took Guo Shao across a bridge and then into a palace.

When I entered, I saw that there were only three eunuchs in the huge hall, which suddenly seemed very empty and deserted.

This situation made Guo Shao feel nervous. Why does it seem like something is wrong?

But if something is wrong, he can only bear it. This place is in the imperial city, and he is alone and there is nothing to struggle with if he encounters something.

Before coming in, if the emperor wanted to do anything to him, there was nothing to struggle with.

Without the Privy Council Order, even the soldiers of the Guards could not be transferred. What else do you want to do?

Is it a mutiny? Under a powerful lord like Chai Rong, let alone other troops of the Guards Division, it is still a matter of whether the Zuoxiang of the Hujie Army, the closest Hujie Army, is willing to fight with him. I am afraid that most of them will not be willing... Guo Shao has the power and promoted more people in the Hujie Army, but it is another matter to ask others to follow and die.

It’s like a good friend who has a good relationship. He usually wears a pair of pants with you for ordinary things, and everyone lives well, but you suddenly ask others to grab a fully armed armored armored car together, how many people are willing to do it?

If you don't report it immediately, you will be a real guy.

If the 20,000 people in the left wing of the Hujie Army were suddenly willing, but there were not so many people in the military camp, and the maximum number of people could be mobilized at various garrisons.

We have to slowly order the organization to assemble into an army... We have been quelled with this opportunity.

Moreover, the left wing of the Hujie Army could not defeat other imperial guards. The imperial guards also had elite inner hall, outer hall, east and west squads, iron cavalry army in front of the hall, crane control army...the guards Long Jie army, and other squads.

He was beaten up in Tokyo in minutes by rebelling. The emperor and the Privy Council ordered the order, and other troops were mobilized according to the military order without any pressure or resistance!

Not to mention that Guo Shao wanted to mutiny in Tokyo, even if Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin joined forces to do it directly in Tokyo, they would not be able to do it.

The matter is too complicated, and the emperor and the court have strong control... Why did the Privy Council re-deploy the city defense and garrison in ten days?

……

Guo Shao gave up his struggle and could only face reality.He tried hard to calm himself down and continued to think about what Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin might do, as well as some of his thoughts on this matter.

After a while, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the palace.

Guo Shao turned around and saw a big man as strong as a blue sky at the door walked over.

The sun was bright outside the door, and the light in the hall was a little dim. The black man seemed to be in a ray of light at the door.

Double chin, a wide and black face, wide forehead and flat chin, and a wide face make your eyes look smaller.Who isn't Zhao Kuangyin?

Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a white filial piety uniform and a filial pie was tied on his head!

This outfit is very solemn, which makes Guo Shao very nervous inexplicably... Guo Shao couldn't help but think: I really didn't kill your father and brother!

I didn't even have the intention to kill them.

General Guo, have you also received the summons from the official family?Zhao Kuangyin's tone was actually very calm, without any hatred, nor did he grit his teeth and speak harshly.

This surprised Guo Shao a little. Although he could have expected that Zhao Kuangyin would not be so impulsive, his calm tone was really extraordinary.

Guo Shao said: Yes, I only received the imperial edict in the morning, so I got the first step.

When he saw Zhao Kuangyin wearing a filial piety dress, he should ask a few questions according to common sense... But what did he say, saying that he did not attend the funeral, or was he asking Zhao Kuangyin to be mourn for the change?

How can I say it feel like a cat crying rat?

Only some civilian women can curse others in their hearts and say polite words after cursing them thousands of times; Guo Shao can't do this.

So he turned a blind eye and did not mention the funeral of the Zhao family.

Before the emperor came, Guo Shao stood in the same house with Zhao Kuangyin, and the atmosphere was a bit dull and awkward.

Guo Shao was not convenient to look around, but from time to time he also silently observed the palace with an inadvertent expression. He always felt that it seemed as if Chai Rong was watching him and Zhao Kuangyin somewhere.

But the temple is surrounded by walls, and there is only a small door behind it, and there is no one outside the door.

At this moment, a fat and round-faced eunuch walked in. Guo Shao had seen this person, but he didn't think of his name for a while.

The eunuch held two files, threw the whisk in his hand behind his arm, and stepped forward and said: This is the case file hosted by Wang Pu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the left department of Kaifeng Prefecture is mainly responsible for trial. The official asked me to take it with the two generals to take a look first.The official family is still changing clothes, so they will come soon.

Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin took one, but neither spoke.

The eunuch said again: By the way, you two have finished reading it and then exchanged views.There are stools here, please sit for two.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: OK.

So Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin started to read the file in their hands, and now they can only read a rough idea.

Guo Shao felt very disadvantaged because Zhao Kuangyin flipped it very quickly, but he read it very slowly... Without punctuation, Guo Shao is not very used to it yet, and he can understand it but read it slowly.

Fortunately, the file in my hand is about Zhao San's suspected of assassination of Guo Shao. He knew the general process of this case. He didn't have to read every sentence, but only looked at some key points and convenient ways.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin took the file.Guo Shao turned around and said: General Zhao, let’s change.Zhao Kuangyin nodded, handed over the things in his hand, and exchanged them with Guo Shao.

The payment Guo Shao has received now is the beginning and end of Zhao San's death.

He first found Dong San's confession description.

I found that there was indeed a paragraph asking when Dong San would enter the Zhao Mansion, and the answer was the third year of Guangshun.

Seeing this, Guo Shaodun felt that the record of this file was quite reliable.

During this process, Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin were waiting silently, and I am afraid no one knew what the other party was thinking.
