In the Donghua Gate, an **** outside the hall shouted: "Your Majesty, come here!"

Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin heard them, they hurriedly got up from the stools, and after a while, they saw Chai Rong walking in through the hall door after being hugged. Chai Rong did not wear a uniform or a dragon robe. He was still dressed in a large purple round-necked gown with a black gauze hat on his head.

The two in the hall knelt down to the ground at this time, shouting: "The ministers see your majesty, your majesty has no boundaries."

Chai Rong stepped forward and supported one with one hand. He actually lifted the two of them up and said, "Aiqing waits for the flat body." He lifted the person and walked until he sat down. There was only a chair in the upper position, not a formal throne, and it was not far away.

When Guo Shao got up from the ground, his eyes drooped slightly, but he looked at Chai Rong's expression from the corner of his eye, but he didn't see anything strange. I felt that Chai Rong's face was really pale, and there were some strange dark spots on his cheeks.

As expected, Chai Rong first noticed Zhao Kuangyin, who was in plain clothes. I saw that Zhao Kuangyin's face was black and red, but his body was completely white, which was really eye-catching. But the emperor did not ask him about the funeral. He turned his gaze to Guo Shao and said, "The two files are my decrees to show you. I want to ask you about the latest things in person. You have all seen it, Kaifeng Mansion. What do you think of the case investigated by the Zuo Hall?"

The emperor’s gaze was on Guo Shao. Guo Shao could not ignore the emperor’s questioning impolitely. He bowed immediately, organizing the statement nervously, and said: "In response to your majesty, the Weichen thought Kaifeng The government's investigation was more detailed, and the testimony and the case made all sense...As recorded in the assassination of Zhao Jia Saburo, as recorded in the file, the culprit was Zhao's residence in Guangshun three years ago, and this person has absolutely nothing to do with the minister. It is not the one who will report to you, please let your majesty give it to you."

Guo Shao deliberately did not say whether Zhao San had conspired to assassinate himself.

Only talking about Dong Er’s murder is to defend himself, which belongs to defense; to say that Zhao Sanmou assassinates is to attack the opponent, which belongs to offense... As long as Guo Shao first said, he was more conservative first; just to excuse himself. But do not bite the opponent and attack.

Because Guo Shao had already figured it out before that, Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything against him when he came, why should he rush to quarrel with him? It would be better to calm down first and see his attitude and reaction.

These recent events, no matter how complicated the process is and who is right and who is wrong; the result is that Guo Shao is standing here alive and well, but the Zhao family has two people dead. Zhao Kuangyin's losses were heavy. Even if Zhao San was at fault, everyone was dead... No need to "give Guo Shao a word".

Guo Shaoxun thought: It is meaningless to attack again with this, and it is impossible to attack Zhao Kuangyin if it is an iron case. Zhao San's crime was not a heinous crime that would impinge on the people of the tribe, and it is difficult to involve Zhao Kuangyin at the same time.

What's more, Chai Rong trusts and relies on Zhao Kuangyin. I am afraid he will not take Zhao Kuangyin because of this incident... Although Guo Shao has made great contributions and performed well in the wars launched by Chai Rong, he is in close relationship. Shang is still a bit worse than Zhao Kuangyin, otherwise he won't be in the Department of Guards.

At this moment, Chai Rong nodded slightly, then turned to look at the black-faced man.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "A few days ago, the heavenly minister heard that General Guo met the assassin, and the clues were related to the third brother. After returning, he also questioned the third brother, but the third brother told the minister that it was not what he did...The minister also watched In the case file below, there are two things that are not very credible. The first is the motive of committing the crime. It is a bit far-fetched to say that the third brother will murder the general for the sake of a woman's jealousy. The second is whether Li Xiaer was instigated by the third brother. The Chinese language is unclear, only inference.

According to Weichen's understanding of his brothers, Saburo has been studying since he was a child and has not experienced battles. He is gentle and courteous at home, kind to others, and he is not yet 18 years old. To say what evil things can be done by someone like Saburo, the minister feels very strange. "

Guo Shao felt a little unhappy when he heard that Zhao Kuangyin had to defend him, because he had already believed that the person who did it was Zhao San; however, Zhao Kuangyin did not catch Zhao San's death, and blamed Guo Shao. , In fact, has been very restrained.

Zhao Kuangyin’s restraint made Guo Shao feel incredible, because from the results, Zhao Kuangyin was the "sufferer", even if he attacked Guo Shao, it would be excusable... Daddy and his brother can bear it, why should he bear it? ?

Remembering that Zhao Kuangyin was the founding emperor in history, Guo Shao had to guess: Only with greater ambition can he endure the pain in front of him. Zhao Kuangyin is not a teenage Zhao San. He will not be dragged into the water for hatred and eradication of enemies... Only in this way, Guo Shao can figure out why Zhao Kuangyin has shown such restraint today.

At this time, Chai Rong asked directly: "Zhao Kuangyin, do you think Saburo's death is related to Guo Shao?"

Zhao Kuangyin worshipped: "Your Majesty, please be clear."

Sure enough, even if he didn't want to amplify the contradiction, he still became hostile to Guo Shao and left his words alone... If the emperor wants to help punishing Guo Shao, Zhao Kuangyin's ambiguous attitude is obviously happy.

Chai Rong nodded and said: "I called both of you into the palace and talked about this in person, just to hear what you think about it."

Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao listened very carefully to what the emperor said.

Chai Rong sighed again, and said: "Now that the big event is not done, the Northern Expedition is imminent. Although the Khitan leader is called the'Sleeping Emperor', according to my observation, this person has a bad reputation and is not a completely incompetent person; The Khitan civil strife is related to the old things in the previous dynasty, and it cannot be entirely blamed on the current Khitan leader. Although the country is chaotic, its strength has not been greatly damaged, and it is still our country's greatest enemy! And you two are the generals I rely on, Today, if internal friction, wasteful loss of military power, or even some turbulent loss to the country, I will never take it lightly!"

Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao bowed before listening.

Chai Rong said again: "The guards and guards performed very well in the Battle of Huainan, which made me greatly gratified. In the upcoming Northern Expedition to Khitan, I hope that General Guo can conquer the city and fight against the north. Make new contributions to the important town! The divisions in front of the temple are the elites of the Zhou Dynasty, and I have high hopes. If you two can dispel the grievances, it is best; otherwise, you can't influence the plan of the Northern Expedition because of your personal subsections! Who will recover the quiet for me When I was in the state, I made the most effort, so I would rely more on whoever I was, and I would never be biased."

He went on to say earnestly: "I also hope that you will put the overall situation first and don't lose my hope."

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly bowed his head: "The minister is the former capital school of the palace, and he is responsible for his majesty's trust and national responsibility. Will he dare to exhaust his energy as the forerunner of his majesty? The minister will never delay his majesty's grand aspirations because of personal grievances!"

After hearing this, Chai Rong said with great satisfaction: "Zhao Aiqing can always understand my heart and divide my worries and solve problems for me. You will definitely not let me be in a dilemma."

When Guo Shao saw this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Weichen must take national affairs as the most important and dare not consider minor issues."

When Chai Rong saw this, he came up and helped them up, "The previous grievances were put aside, and I think that things are different, and that everything is not caused by the two of you not knowing the general. It is understandable. But in the future, I If you don’t want to complain anymore, can you do it? There is no joking in front of the king, so just in front of me, swear to stop worrying about it?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked upright and immediately raised his hand and said: "The minister swears in front of your majesty, and will never do anything unrighteous to General Guo due to personal grievances!"

Swearing really works? However, what the emperor said in front of him might be more or less useful. Guo Shao was also busy with his palm to the sky and vowed: "The minister is willing to disregard the previous suspicions, and assist his majesty in the attack on Khitan."

Chai Rong was very satisfied when he saw this, and nodded: "Very good, very good! My humeral general should be a broad-minded and tolerant talent!"

The emperor relieved the two of them again, ordered a reward of some money, and sent the palace man to the mansion to attend the funeral with Zhao Kuangyin. The two thanked the emperor farewell and walked out from the main hall one after another.

Zhao Kuangyin walked forward, and Guo Shao was a distance behind, and the two were speechless.

Guo Shao was quite satisfied with the result. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he went out to see the sun. He finally passed this level...because he never felt that the emperor would give up just to give himself justice. Zhao Kuangyin, that is absolutely impossible.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin may be more depressed. Two of his family members died, and in the end they had no choice but to stop.

But Guo Shao also understood why Chai Rong wanted to make peace: the emperor wanted to regain Youyun, and was totally unwilling to lose a general due to internal fighting. In his attitude towards Guo Shao, one of the sentences "conquer the city, strive to overcome the important towns in Hebei, and make new contributions" inadvertently exposed the Sacred Heart... Chai Rong also worried about Guo Shao's ability to attack the city, and wanted him to help him attack Hebei. city. Those cities in Hebei are bigger and more stable, and the cities are very difficult to fight.

If Guo Shao had no value, it would be hard to tell if Chai Rong would still care about justice and truth today. And once Youzhou is captured, will the birds be hidden?

Guo Shao found thin beads of sweat on his forehead, and subconsciously swiped his sleeve.

In short, this matter can come to an end for the time being. Guo Shao feels that there is not much danger right now; but in the long run, the danger is even greater.

Now that the emperor protects him, people who are so knowledgeable about the current affairs of Zhao Kuangyin are unlikely to be in a hurry to do what the emperor wants, so Guo Shao should be worry-free... But in the future, what will happen? 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 went out of Donghuamen under the lead of the eunuch. Zhao Kuangyin calmly asked the servant to lead the horse. This servant was not afraid of ambushing with crossbows in the streets and alleys. He acted very calmly. When he took the reins, he turned around to give a fist to Guo Shao and then mounted the horse.

Guo Shao also hurriedly bowed his hand in reply, watching the top of the head. Then he walked to his carriage, and he said in his heart that he was more afraid of dying unclearly, and that it would be safer to ride a carriage. rg
