When Zhao Kuangyin returned to his house, he saw that there were carriages and horses parked in front of the door.The yard where horses were raised and carriages were put on was full, and the visitor could only lean on the street and ask the slaves to watch.
There was a very tall wooden pillar in front of the gate, which was tied with white paper, and the paper was crackling in the air by the wind.
White cloth for funerals was hung under the eaves and at the door of the mansion. Even passers-by could tell at first glance that someone had died in the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Dushi.General Zhao... Many people in the yard salute him, and everyone was waiting to enter the mourning hall to pay tribute to the deceased.
Zhao Kuangyin, surrounded by slaves, held his face, but he also bowed his fists and gave him a greeting without saying much.
In the mourning hall, an old man named several people, and a few people walked in and paid homage to the spiritual seats and coffins above.
Next to the tablet, the children of the Zhao family and close relatives led the servants from the mansion to kneel in two rows and kowtowed to the guests who came to mourn.
Zhao Kuangyin asked a slave: My mother is in the mourning hall?
The slave replied: The old lady was too sad and went to the backyard.
Zhao Kuangyin then stopped entering the mourning hall and walked straight into the side of the house.
Sure enough, seeing Zhao's mother, Du, sitting on the chair, sighing and showing pain, she was already crying without tears.
The servants around her kept rubbing her back, and were persuading: Old Lady's Day, her health is important.
My son is back.Zhao Kuangyin walked into the house and knelt down and bowed.
Du sat upright, reached out to look for the crutches next to him, and asked: What should the official do with it?
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the servant next to him and waved his hand: Go down first.Several servants hurriedly said: Look.At this time, Zhao Kuangyin said: The government does not deal with it much, and the money is the funeral cost given by the government.
After hearing this, Du was furious and said: How much does it cost to buy the lives of your father and Saburo!
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said: Please calm down your anger, mom.Du said coldly: The two people in the hall outside have not yet been cold!You are just talking lightly, so who can bully our Zhao family?Then what is Guo Shao’s origin?
Zhao Kuangyin lowered his hands and thought for a while, and said softly: He saved the Queen's life last year.
Du Shi said: Queen, Fu family?The world of this Great Zhou is not the only one in the Fu family who has the final say!Saburo Ah... The old man with white hair gives a black hair, Saburo is always the most filial...
It's the child who is unfilial.Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly kowtowed again, asking his mother to mourn him, and buried his father and third brother first, so that they could be buried in peace, and let go of other things for the time being.The government did not want to see the child fighting with Guo Shao in the internal struggle, and the child did not dare to ignore the government's general strategy for personal grudges.
After hearing this, Du cried for a while, but no longer got too entangled. He had to say that Erlang must hold the funeral well.
When Zhao Kuangyin thought of the two coffins placed in the mourning hall in the outer courtyard, he felt angry and sad, and his eyes were so aching.
But he still didn't plan to continue to get involved in this matter because it was of no benefit.
On the road to lofty ambitions, there will always be many thorns that bind people to move forward, not only temptation, but also anger and hatred... But those enemies who make people go in a different direction may be just enemies of one stage in the long run and are not worth calculating about everything they have.
In contrast, Zhao Kuangyin cares more about realizing his ambitions... The reason in between is very simple: now he ignores the overall situation and fights with his opponent to the death. Not to mention the victory or defeat for the time being, both sides will definitely suffer losses. Guo Shao has to pay the price, and Zhao Kuangyin himself cannot fall well; but if he keeps his eyes on the long run and waits for a certain day, the opponent can be destroyed with confidence without paying the price of revenge.
Which option is smarter?
Only those who can tolerate things or not can laugh to the end!
……
When Guo Shao returned to the mansion, he saw Li Chuyun and other cadres at the entrance of the yard opposite.He went to meet his brothers first.
He was carrying a bag, which may weigh about ten pounds, and it contained some gold and silver utensils, which were rewarded by him in the palace.
I don’t know why I rewarded money, maybe it was to encourage them to understand the overall situation... Anyway, it was not to reward him for suspected killing Zhao San.
...The former owner of this yard was a civil servant in Kaifeng Prefecture and prefers quietness.
Guo Shao sent Zuo You to discuss with the owner of the house, but the other party was honest and sold it immediately.
Now it has become the place where the personal soldiers of the Guo family live, with more than 50 people on duty day and night; other servants also live here, and there are about a hundred people living in the entire yard.
This place is like a military camp for garrisons, but it seems understandable that Guo Shao did this; most of the personal soldiers took weapons without armor on duty.
When Yang Biao saw Guo Shao coming in, he took the lead and asked: Brother, what's wrong?
All the generals came over and waited for the result. Everyone was very concerned... The main reason was that a group of generals who were promoted from the bottom of Guo Shao could not let Guo Shao fall down. If they fell down, everyone would have to disband and fight back to their original form.
Guo Shao said kindly: Don’t worry for the time being.The official asked Zhao Duzhi to swear with me, no longer caring about the previous grievances and putting national affairs first.Zhao Kuangyin swore first, and I see, he should be someone who is willing to obey the advice of the government.
After hearing this, Li Chuyun nodded and said: What the lord saw is very good. Zhao Kuangyin should not be a person who cares about consequences in such matters.If he did this, he would probably not be able to get it from the government.After all, the emperor is a wise ruler who can suppress others.
Guo Shao said: That's true.The government is now determined to fight the Northern Expedition and recover Hebei. If someone from Zhao Kuangyin and I were in a different opinion, and would do one thing, it would affect the country's strategy, it would probably make the government very angry and disappointed.Guo Shao said this and stopped gently. He thought that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to be the emperor, so how could he give up that road when he encountered something?
Zhao Kuangyin finally gained the trust and reliance of the emperor, so there was no need to rush to do something and waste his previous efforts.
Luo Yanhuan said: However, the grudge between the lord and the Zhao family has become more and more difficult to resolve than Li Chongjin.
That's exactly that.Guo Shao was not afraid of it and nodded in agreement.
At first, Li Chongjin was just a fight of intentions, but later Guo Shao cleaned up his people in the Guards' Office, which was normal. The rest of the Guards' Office also took advantage of the situation and followed the accomplices; everyone was just fighting for power and profit.
But Zhao Kuangyin now has two corpses in his house, and this hatred may not be resolved at all... If Guo and Zhao cannot solve it in their lives, their descendants may also have to distinguish their heights.
Just like Zhu Wen and Li Keyong before, the two fought for a lifetime. After their death, their sons finally decided to win or lose. Li Keyong's son destroyed Zhu Wen's family and his dynasty.
There is no way to get to this point, and there is another powerful enemy.
Guo Shao said: It’s no big deal now. Everyone has dispersed. It’s not good to gather in our house.
Everyone then said goodbye.
When Guo Shao returned home, Yulian saw him and said: This morning, Mrs. Gao sent someone to come and proposed marriage smoothly. Next, we asked our family to prepare a betrothal gift and send it to Daming Mansion, Hebei, and then discuss the day of wedding reception.Mrs. Gao left a message and asked the husband to find time to go to Gao's house to discuss the matter.
Zhao Kuangyin's family was holding a funeral, and Guo Shao talked about the betrothal gift here.
But that doesn't matter. Zhao Kuangyin is not a relative of Guo Shao. His family's funeral has nothing to do with Guo Shao, and it cannot stop others from planning a happy event.
The betrothal gift costs a lot of money. Guo Shao’s family has not accumulated a lot of money and is currently a little short of money.
He handed the bag of more than ten kilograms of heavy metal in his hand to Yulian, and the money he rewarded was just enough to gather together to handle the betrothal gift.
After he talked to Yulian, he saw Jing Niang again in front of the flying bridge gatehouse in the back garden.
Jingniang followed him into the back garden, and then whispered: I went to the East City in the morning, but unexpectedly, I met the eunuch Cao Tai, so I brought that to him.
I got it... Guo Shao said again, there is no news about the queen recently. Didn’t you say that you would help you rebuild Yuzhenguan last time?
Jingniang said: No, except for this morning when I took the initiative to look for Cao Tai, no one in the palace had any contact with me.
After hearing this, Guo Shao stopped talking.
……
He now needs support from the Confucian Hou, not only real help, but also psychological support.
Perhaps it is because Guo Shao has been here and Fu has played a crucial role, so he gradually developed a sense of psychological dependence on Fu.
In the past, Guo Shao relied on Fu's family to be promoted to a higher level, and he also needed her in the future and was more dependent on her.
For a moment, Guo Shao had the illusion that he had done a lot of things since he came here a thousand years later. In fact, everything was summed up: it was just a process of constantly approaching that woman.
From the beginning to the distance that was far away to the impossible, the distance of a thousand years, it suddenly narrowed to an era; then there was a world of difference in status, constantly narrowing the distance... Until now, Guo Shao felt that he was getting closer and closer.
After marrying Fu Ermei, she was close to her relatives.
I have to prepare a betrothal gift recently, so I can't delay it. Guo Shao immediately put this matter on the agenda and turned around and said to Jingniang, "Send someone to Dongshi City and notify the owner of a shop called "Chen Li Chen Weaving" and ask them to send someone who can decide the matter to Guo's mansion to take care of them with a large business."
Jingniang said: I'll call Bai Xiangu to go later.
Guo Shao nodded and said: Bai Xian Gu went over to discuss matters, and the other party might send someone to ask about the situation first; if it was a woman, let Yu Lian receive her first.When they send the person in charge to do this, they will ask me to see him, so that they will save some trouble.
He thought: he should buy some silk and other things, and not just take money.
Fabric and silk seem to take up space. If you make some other gifts at that time, you can make the betrothal gifts into many boxes to pack, which is very charming and decent; otherwise, if you give gold, silver and money, it would be very unsightly to put them in a little... As for the betrothal gifts that marry wealthy families, Guo Shao has to discuss with someone.
There was a very tall wooden pillar in front of the gate, which was tied with white paper, and the paper was crackling in the air by the wind.
White cloth for funerals was hung under the eaves and at the door of the mansion. Even passers-by could tell at first glance that someone had died in the Zhao Mansion.
