When Zhao Kuangyin returned to the house, he saw cars and horses parked in front of the door. The yard where the horses are raised and where the carriages are kept is full. Visitors can only lean the carriages on the street and ask the servants to watch.
A tall wooden pillar stood in front of the gate, tied with white paper, and the paper was "cracking" in the air by the wind. Under the eaves of the mansion, and at the door, there are white funeral cloths hung. In this situation, even passers-by will know that Zhao Mansion is dead.
"Zhao Du Shi." "General Zhao..." Many people in the courtyard greeted him, and everyone was waiting to enter the mourning hall to pay homage to the dead. Zhao Kuangyin, who was surrounded by his servants, pulled his face, but also clasped his fists in return, not saying much.
In the mourning hall, an old man called several people by their names, and several people walked in and worshipped the spiritual seat and coffin above. Next to the tablet, the children of the Zhao family and close relatives led the servants of the mansion to kneel in two rows, kowtow to the guests who came to mourn.
Zhao Kuangyin asked a servant: "My mother is in the mourning hall?"
The servant replied: "The old lady was so sad that she went to the backyard."
Zhao Kuangyin did not enter the mourning hall, and walked straight from the side of the house to the inside. Sure enough, seeing Zhao's mother Du Clan sitting on the chair and sighing with pain on her face, she was already crying without tears. The servant girl next to her kept rubbing her back, and was persuading: "The old lady is sorry, the body is important."
"My son is back." Zhao Kuangyin walked into the house and bowed.
Du Shi straightened up, stretched out his hand to find the crutches next to him, and asked: "What should the officials do?"
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the servants next to him and waved his hand: "All go down first." The servants hurriedly bowed their knees and said, "Hey." At this time, Zhao Kuangyin said: "The official doesn't deal with it very much. The child got some money. The funeral cost of the gift."
When Du Shi heard this, he was furious and said: "How much money can buy the lives of your father and Saburo!"
Zhao Kuangyin said hurriedly: "Please calm down my anger." Du said coldly: "The two people in the outer hall are not cold! You said so lightly, who can be bullied by the Zhao family? What is Guo Shao's background? ?"
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said softly: "He saved the queen's life last year."
Du Clan said: "Queen, Fu family? The world in this big Zhou has no turn to the Fu family to have the final say! Saburo...the old white-haired person gives off the black-haired man, Saburo is usually the most filial... "
"It's a child who is not filial." Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly knelt down and koozed his head, "I also ask my mother to mourn, first bury my father and third younger brother, let them go into the soil for safety, and put aside other things for the time being. The officials are not willing to watch. Until Haier fights Guo Shao internally, Haier dare not disregard the official's plan for personal enmity."
After listening to Du, he cried for a while, but no longer entangled too much, and had to say, "Erlang must be good at doing funerals."
When Zhao Kuangyin thought of the two coffins in the outer courtyard, he felt angry and sad, and his eyes were sour with anger.
But he still doesn't intend to continue to struggle with this matter, because it is of no benefit. On the road to the ambition of Honghu, there will always be many thorns that hinder people's progress, not only temptation, but also anger and hatred... But the enemies who make people turn in the wrong direction may only be in the long run. Enemies at a stage are not worth considering everything about themselves.
In contrast, Zhao Kuangyin cares more about fulfilling his ambitions... The reasoning in this is very simple: now, regardless of the overall situation, he is going to die with his opponents. Let alone victory or defeat, it will definitely hurt both sides. Guo Shao will have to pay the price. , Zhao Kuangyin himself could not do well; but if he set his sights on the long-term, and waited for a certain day to happen, then the opponent could be destroyed at his fingertips without having to pay the price of revenge. Which choice is more wise?
Those who can bear things that cannot be tolerated can have the last laugh!
……
When Guo Shao returned to the mansion, he saw Li Chuyun and other cadres at the gate of the opposite courtyard. He went to meet his brothers first.
He is carrying a bag, which may weigh more than ten catties, containing some gold and silver objects, which he was rewarded in the palace. I don't know why they will reward the money, it may be to encourage them to understand the general situation...Anyway, it is definitely not to reward him for killing Zhao San for good.
...The former owner of this courtyard was a civil official in Kaifeng Mansion, who preferred quietness. Guo Shao sent Zuo You to discuss with the owner of the house, but the other party was upright and sold it at a fair price. It is now the place where the soldiers of the Guo Mansion live, with more than 50 people on duty day and night; some other family members also live here, and the entire yard has a hundred people. This place is like a barracks for soldiers, but Guo Shao seems to be forgiven for doing so; most of the soldiers on duty did not wear armor, so they took weapons.
When Yang Biao saw Guo Shao coming in, he asked, "Big Brother, what's wrong?"
All the generals looked over and waited for the results. Everyone was very concerned... The main group of generals who were promoted from the bottom around Guo Shao really couldn't let Guo Shao fall. If they fell, everyone had to break up and fight back to their original form. .
Guo Shao said: "You don’t have to worry about it for the time being. The official called Zhao Dushi to swear with me, no longer care about previous grievances, and focus on national affairs. Zhao Kuangyin swears first, I watch it, he It should be someone who is willing to follow the persuasion of the officials."
Li Chuyun nodded after listening: "The lord has seen very much, Zhao Kuangyin should not be a reckless person in such matters. If he does this, it is estimated that he will not please the officials. After all, the current emperor can. Mingjun who can hold people."
Guo Shao said: "That's true. The officials are now determined to expedition to the north and regain Hebei; if someone in Zhao Kuangyin and I disagree, say one thing and do one thing, it will affect the country's general plan, I am afraid that the official will be very angry and Disappointment." Guo Shao stopped here gently. He wondered if Zhao Kuangyin wanted to be the emperor. How could he abandon the road when something happened? Zhao Kuangyin finally got the emperor's trust and reliance on it, and there is no need to rush to go to the ground and wash away his previous efforts.
Luo Yanhuan said: "However, the grievances between the lord and the Zhao family have become bigger now, and it is more difficult to deal with than Li Zhongjin."
"Exactly." Guo Shao also nodded in agreement.
At first, Li Zhongjin was just a struggle of spirits. Later, Guo Shao cleared him in the Department of Guards, and it was a normal way to do it. The rest of the Department of Guards did not follow the accomplices; everyone was fighting for power. But Zhao Kuangyin now has two corpses in his house. I am afraid that this hatred cannot be resolved at all... If Guo and Zhao cannot be resolved in this life, maybe the grandchildren will have to be tall and short. Just like Zhu Wen and Li Keyong in the past, the two fought for a lifetime. After their deaths, the sons finally found out the winners and losers. Li Keyong's son destroyed Zhu Wen's family and his dynasty.
At this point, there is no other way. There is another strong enemy.
Guo Shao said: "It's okay now, everyone is scattered. It's not nice to gather in my house."
Everyone then left one after another.
Guo Shao returned home, and Yulian saw him and said: "Mrs. Gao sent someone this morning and said that going to the Weiwang Mansion to propose a marriage is relatively smooth. Next, we need our family to prepare a betrothal gift and send it to the famous mansion in Hebei. Only then did we discuss the date of welcoming the relatives. Mrs. Gao left a message and asked Mr. Lang to find time to visit Gao's house to discuss the matter."
The Zhao Kuangyin's family is having a funeral, and Guo Shao is talking about the offer. But it doesn't matter. Zhao Kuangyin is not Guo Shao's relative. His family's funeral has nothing to do with Guo Shao, nor can he prevent others from planning a happy event.
The bride price will cost a lot of money. Guo Shao's family accumulation is not strong, and he is a little short of money right now. He handed the heavy metal bag of ten kilograms in his hand to Yulian, and the money rewarded by the emperor happened to be gathered together to organize the betrothal gift.
After he finished talking with Yulian, he met Jingniang again in front of the Feiqiao Gate in Houyuan. Jingniang followed him into the back garden, and then whispered: "I went to the East City in the morning, but I met the **** Cao Tai, so I brought him that."
"I see..." Guo Shao said again, "There has been no news about the queen recently. Didn't I say that I will help you rebuild Yuzhenguan?"
Jingniang said: "No, except this morning I took the initiative to find Cao Tai, no one in the palace has contact with me."
Guo Shao stopped talking after hearing this.
……
He now needs the support of the character, not only practical help, but also psychological support. Perhaps it is because Guo Shao has come to the present and Fu Shi has played a vital role, so that he gradually developed a certain psychological dependence on Fu Shi.
In the past, Guo Shao relied on the Fu clan in order to be promoted. In the future, he will also need her and rely more on it.
For a while, Guo Shao had the illusion that he came here after a thousand years and did a lot of things. In fact, everything summed up: just a process of getting closer to that woman.
From the beginning to the impossible distance, the distance of a thousand years, it suddenly narrowed to an era; then there was a huge difference in status, and the distance was constantly narrowing... Until now, Guo Shao feels getting closer and closer Up. After marrying Fu Ermei, she was already close to relatives.
"We have to prepare the bride price recently, and we can't postpone it." Guo Shao immediately put the matter on the agenda, and said to Jingniang back, "You send someone to the East Market to inform the owner of a shop called'Shen Li Chen Weaving', Let them send someone who can make decisions to Guo's Mansion and have a larger business to take care of them."
Jingniang said: "I will call Bai Xiangu to go later."
Guo Shao nodded and said: "Bai Xiangu discussed the matter in the past, and the other party may send someone to ask about the situation first; if it is a female, let Yulian receive it first. Wait until they send the principal to do this. , Ask me to see him again, so I don’t have to worry about seeing him several times."
He wondered: You should buy something like silk and satin, not just money. The cloth and satin seem to take up space. When you get some other gifts, you can make the dowry into a lot of boxes to hold it. It is very beautiful; otherwise, if you give gold and silver money, it is very unsightly... Guo Shao still has to find someone to discuss the bride price for the marriage of the big Zhumen family and how many things are needed.
