Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The family provided lunch, and after eating, Guo Shao tried to find out where Zhao Kuangyin was, and finally heard that he was discussing matters at the Si Yamen in front of the palace.

He was told that he was not allowed to enter the lobby, but immediately heard a loud voice inside, Zhao Kuangyin's voice:

"The officials told the ministers that the battle of Gaoping did not depend on the large number of people, but on the strength of a few capable troops! Therefore, it is not about the number of soldiers, but the quality. The officials are sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and they say that a hundred households can barely support one soldier; the more soldiers, the greater the burden on the people of the world."

"There is only one soldier raised by the people of a hundred households. If this soldier can't defend the country, can't be used in battle, what use is he? Today's top priority is to rectify the imperial army, weed out those who are timid, old and weak, lazy and undisciplined. Become 'pawns', let them go to the fields, cultivate the land on weekdays, and call the auxiliary main force to fight in wartime..."

There were endless "meetings" inside, Guo Shao was in a hurry, and wanted to ask the matter clearly this afternoon... If you don't wait, what if Zhao Kuangyin's meeting is over, and there are other things? Simply wait a little longer, and slowly understand the central government's military | spirit outside the lobby.

Zhao Kuangyin finally came out. When he saw Guo Shao stepping forward to salute, he let out a hearty laugh and said haha: "I recognize you. 'The one who cut Zhang Yuanhui, Xiaodijun Guo Shao'!"

Guo Shao saw that Zhao Kuangyin was actually a more sunny person, maybe because his face was too dark, it was easy to remind people of being sun-baked!

"The last general pays his respects to General Zhao." Guo Shao said politely.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him and said, "Let's go to the signing room."

Guo Shaoxin said: Talking to powerful people is peace of mind. If you don't say anything, they will know that you have something to ask him, so you can find a place to talk about it.

The two walked into a public room one after another. Zhao Kuangyin took a seat beside the big wooden case first, and then invited Guo Shao to sit down. He didn't say anything, he didn't say a word of polite words like pretending to care about Guo Shaoxin's job, just calmly waited for Guo Shao to say something... In such silence, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to say: If you fart, let it go.

The short silence made Guo Shao even more nervous. While pondering how to express it, he also speculated on Zhao Kuangyin's possible reaction when he knew about it. The pressure was huge for a while, and he really felt a little like meeting his uncle.

He finally opened his mouth and said: "General Zhao, do you recognize Jingniang... Jingniang, the master of the Yuzhen Temple."

"What?" Zhao Kuangyin's originally calm and impatient eyes lit up slightly.

Out of courtesy, Guo Shao didn't stare into Zhao Kuangyin's eyes. The etiquette and customs of this era are a bit special. People with low status will be regarded as disrespectful if they look directly at each other. However, Guo Shao believes in the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul. A person can pretend to express his words and deeds, but his eyes are prone to reveal clues.

"I think Jingniang is very good, that..." Guo Shao hesitated. He directly said that I had already fucked her, and he temporarily felt that it was not very good, so he temporarily held back the words on his lips.

Zhao Kuangyin is such a thoughtful person, seeing Guo Shao's hesitant to speak, contacting the half-sentence he has already spoken, he might guess with his toes that Guo Shao is interested in Jingniang.

For a moment, Zhao Kuangyin's dark red face, which never changed in color, was extremely expressive.

It seemed a little unspeakably annoyed, but also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

... Zhao Kuangyin immediately said without hesitation: "I met a person named Jing Niang many years ago, but she is not a Taoist priest, Yu Zhenguan? I have never heard of it."

Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Then Jing Niang of Yuzhenguan, could it be someone General Zhao once knew, but you didn't know that she became a monk in Tokyo?"

"Haha..." Zhao Kuangyin laughed out loud, but it seemed that the laughter was not as hearty as usual. After he laughed, he sighed and said, "To be honest, the Jing Niang I know has already... Sigh! It's all my fault."

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring up General Zhao's regret."

"It's all over." Zhao Kuangyin said, "The Taoist nuns in the Taoist temple just have the same name. It's not surprising that there are so many people with the same name in the world."

Zhao Kuangyin felt really indescribable. Back then, Jing Niang and I were just the two of us, and we walked thousands of miles together, not to mention a human being or a rock, and we were covered in heat after a long time. Seeing that she is going with another man, can Zhao Kuangyin feel better?

It would be fine if Jing Niang went back to her hometown to get married, out of sight, out of mind!

It happened to be under my nose. But the entanglement in his heart could not shake Zhao Kuangyin's decision in the slightest. For big things, for the ambitions in my heart, I can't influence anyone even a little bit for anything!

Many people knew about the "benevolent deed" in the past, but now that Zhao Kuangyin is gradually ascending to a high position, more people will be interested in his affairs. Zhao Kuangyin's upright, affectionate and righteous deeds, if there is a follow-up, wouldn't it be counterproductive!

Many people know that Jingniang jumped into the lake. Zhao Kuangyin heard someone mention the past by chance, and expressed how regretful it is; now that she is not dead suddenly, and it has been so many years, why didn't he, Zhao Kuangyin, make up for the regret of rejecting Jingniang, but let Jingniang wait for many years and then marry someone else?

Zhao Kuangyin knew very well that the ending of Jingniang's death was the best ending, the most perfect ending; she couldn't come back to life, and if she did, she wouldn't be the original Jingniang...

After hearing this, Guo Shao said, "So that's how it is. The general made a mistake! But it's still necessary to say hello to General Zhao first... The general heard that you and Jingniang had a brother-sister relationship. Since it's not General Zhao's sister-in-law, the general can make his own decisions?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Although I am your superior, I can't control the family affairs of my subordinates."

Guo Shaodao: "The general understands! It is a crime to disturb Zhao Yuhou with such things today. I am guilty. Let me go."

"Wait." Zhao Kuangyin's face was dark, although his face has always been dark... "If you want to accept the female Taoist priest named Jing Niang in the Taoist temple, you'd better ask her to change her name. There are always some people in the world who have nothing to do and make up nonsense, and they want to spread rumors without evidence. We must guard against their nonsense."

"Yes." Guo Shao quickly replied, "You must not desecrate the good name of a chaste woman. In the future, if the female temple master wishes to return to vulgarity, the general will ask her to change her name."

When Guo Shao had just left, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly heard a "click" and looked down. It turned out that the cup he was holding in his hand was unbearable and cracked.

But a moment later, when he imagined the merits and rewards of realizing his ambition, none of that mattered. On the road of the avenue, there are many competing crowds on the road, full of thorns and lost paths, but only one goal is the clearest!

Looking at those who made great things happen, Han Gaozu could even leave his wife behind when he was in distress. There is no hesitation for a woman who runs around the rivers and lakes and pretends to be a ghost!

Although Zhao Kuangyin felt a little uncomfortable, he felt a burst of relief in his heart. The most important thing he felt was a sigh of relief in the complicated emotions; he even had a good impression of Guo Shao, how could this person just come out to solve my troubles. After all, this matter is a good thing, a dignified man, there is no need to waste his time on such a small thought.

... Guo Shao didn't quite believe what Zhao Kuangyin said. But doing this by yourself is considered to know the rules. Zhao Kuangyin doesn't recognize him, so what does it have to do with me?

At this moment, Guo Shao also let out a long breath, feeling relieved for a while, and finally got a clue about this troublesome matter. At this moment, he only felt that his body was light and light. Although he was wearing a bit of heavy armor, it seemed as if a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

He thought again: Jing Niang can let it go for a while, and wait for her to calm down and figure it out... I believe she can figure it out.

At this time, Guo Shao let go of his imminent worries, and only then remembered what he had seen outside Xuande Gate in the morning, the gang of people gathered to make trouble. Looking at the direction of the wind, the Zhou Dynasty is gearing up for war again?

If there is a war, the opponent this time is likely to be the (later) Shu Kingdom.

Last night, Xifeng was sleepwalking. When he arrived at Dao Temple, he wrote to Yuzhen, and entered the temple in a trance. He saw a group of women, praying for blessings, and said: "Thank you Queen Mother, thank God, thank good people: Minshan (1612445339), the rabbit does not blink, klmvy, wuxiandao, etc. beat the king of ghosts. I wish you all the best and good luck..."

...

If you want to reward those who support Xifeng, it’s better now than usual. Both the author and the reader can get considerable extra benefits; there is a time limit not every day. I have received everyone's support, and I will work harder to update.

That ghost king has 2000 blood points, let's see if we can destroy one of them today (10th). The key is to have more participants, and one person can kill it with a little effort. If you can support it, let's support it. A few dollars won't affect your life... Just in case you can't kill it, forget it.

Thank you everyone.
