The Jinxiang Temple on the base of the high platform is majestic and magnificent, and the large pillars exposed under the roof of the palace have flattened it out a bit. A group of people came out outside the hall, they were talking as they walked, their voices were noisy.

There are a lot of people here, but the square still feels empty, probably because the surrounding space is too wide; there are no extra buildings around the Jinxiang Temple, not even a tree, but it is placed next to a house in the distance Holding many water tanks. Most of these important buildings next to it are like this. It is not for beauty. The first consideration is to prevent assassins and fires.

A group of ministers had just retired and were still discussing the state affairs just now. Under the heavy eaves building full of oriental charm, the appearance of the civil official in the long robe bowing and bowing is a unique scenery.

Wang Pu casually clasped his fist to the official who saluted him: "Gong Li, please, I will tell you again in the future."

He said that he turned his head and said to Guo Shao: "Li Chuyun was the right candidate, and the old man did not expect him to make such progress."

What I just paid attention to in the court is what Wang Pu said. Less than a month away from Beijing, Li Chuyun had already crossed the river to capture Lizhou and besieged Langzhou (Changde). He sent people back to Beijing to report the progress of the war. While besieging Langzhou, he captured surrounding areas in order to turn Langzhou into Lonely city. Li Chuyun wrote a letter: "Cut the wings first, then pound the heart" strategy: He thinks that Changsha will send troops to save Langzhou; after the siege of the city, weaken the strength of Changsha, and then further capture Changsha, not rushing to attack Zhou Xingfeng's nest Langzhou.

After discussing with a few core ministers, the Privy Council considered Li Chuyun's ability and granted the former battalion the right to make arbitrary decisions.

Guo Shao laughed and said: "I have known Li Chuyun for many years, don't you know who he is?"

Wang Pu worshipped.

At this moment, Guo Shao saw an **** with a whisk rushing from the hallway under the Jinxiang Temple. The empty square is really conspicuous as soon as there are people. It's no wonder that you can prevent assassins without planting trees.

Guo Shao has good eyesight, and he recognized Cao Tai at a glance. Wang Pu took a look and saw that Guo Shao slowed down, waited slowly for the eunuch, and then left first.

After a while, Cao Tai, who was thin, caught up with Guo Shao, Guo Shao hugged his fists and saluted: "What's the matter of Daddy Cao in a hurry?"

Cao Tai hurriedly responded politely and took out an envelope from his arms: "Guo Du check this first."

Guo Shao glanced at Cao Tai, then took out the letter paper calmly. First, he saw that the first line said "General Gao Yanjian", and then immediately turned to the end to look at the deposit: Emperor Dashu. He asked: "Is it an autograph by Qin Guogong?"

Cao Tai said: "That's right."

Guo Shao browsed the contents of the letter and looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile. After a while, he raised his head and smiled: "This Qin Guogong is really funny."

Cao Tai laughed when he saw it. He glanced around at the moment, and then whispered: "What the queen mother meant, Meng Chang doesn't care about it... The messenger and the letter are in hand, so why not just ask the messenger to keep it? For Gao Yanjian? Gao Yanjian has not left Beijing in the past few days."

Guo Shao understood Fu Jinzhan's intention after hearing it for a moment: it was nothing more than distrust of the surrender of the Shu Kingdom. Now that Gao Yanjian is in charge of the military power of Shu, he is not at ease and wants to test it.

He was silent for a long time. Cao Tai said: "Gao Yanjian is the person recommended by Guo Dudian. The Queen Mother also wants to ask you what you mean first."

Guo Shao thought for a long time, his face seemed to be relieved, and finally he said: "There was one thing before. After the battle of Qin Fengcheng, Da Zhou captured some soldiers from the Kingdom of Shu. The first emperor collected them. , Transferred to the Huainan battlefield; as a result, those Shu soldiers collapsed and surrendered, and they took the initiative to find the Southern Tang Army generals to surrender. Later Emperor Xian defeated the Southern Tang Army and captured the Shu soldiers. The Emperor Xian was very angry and ordered them to be killed.

Cao Tai nodded to show that he was listening.

Guo Shao said again: "I remembered the battle of Gaoping again. After the Xiaodi Army was broken up, my brother Luo Mengzi was summoned by other generals and continued to chase the North Han Army; Luo Mengzi said that it was not that general. He used to act as a cattleman to drive everyone up to death...It can be seen that even his own people don’t trust unfamiliar generals. What's more, how can it be easy to trust the generals sent by Dazhou when the Shu army descends?

This is the reason why I want to use Gao Yanjian. He was originally a surrender of the Shu army, and the soldiers of Shu are familiar with him and trust him. Only the soldiers of the Kingdom of Shu who have been recruited in this way are capable of fighting. Otherwise, if we bring them in, it will be difficult to use. What will be the waste of food and military pay? Gao Yanjian is a capable and intelligent military commander, but there are many capable military commanders in Da Zhou. If he is not a military commander from Shu, I don't have to use him as the commander of the Jiannan Army. "

Cao Tai said: "So that's the case, the miscellaneous family will remember, and I will tell the queen mother when I go back."

Guo Shaodao: "I don't think this letter is necessary for Gao Yanjian. We gave it to him, how do you want him to deal with it? First he would never listen to Meng Chang's meaning and take the risk. Gao Yanjian is not a fool, he was originally because of Shu The country’s demise requires the destruction of the family and the destruction of the people. Now everything can be kept, and it can be reused even more. The general Zhou Jun will not do well, and he will be in the same situation as Meng Chang? Meng Chang is not like a successful person, and what he wants now is nothing, Gao Yanjian As long as you are not stupid, you will not go to death with him.

Gao Yanjian can only react in two ways. First, hand in this letter as a sign of loyalty, so that he will have to bear the ruthless self-blame and public condemnation of the old master (Meng Chang); what's more, this will prove his loyalty? What a person thinks in his heart, no one can force it, people can only look at his words and deeds on the surface. Trust each other can only be operated, not forced.

Second, pretending not to know, and quietly burned the secret letter as if it had not been received. In this way he can do his little love for the old master. However, since we are going to test him, will he be jealous for his life if he does that? Gao Yanjian felt that we were jealous of him, and he would also be on guard.

With such speculation, we can conclude that trying to test him will not gain any benefit, but will only destroy the fragile trust of each other. So I think it is a useless move, or tell the Queen Mother to stop temptation. The ancients said, ‘I don’t need to hire people, I don’t need to doubt people’. Maybe it’s useless to suspect him? If I think Gao Yanjian is unreliable, I would not recommend him before. "

Cao Tai nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "Guo Du inspected something and told Zajia Maosai to start, think about it."

Guo Shao smiled confidently: "Even if Gao Yanjian wanted to rebel, he couldn't beat me in Shu country at the beginning; now that I lose the mountain and river barrier, I can still clean up him a second time. Don't worry too much."

Cao Tai looked up to see Guo Shao’s face. Cao Tai looked at Guo Shao’s calm and confident smile, and after hearing his respect: "The miscellaneous family has never convinced a few people in his heart, but the miscellaneous family is true. Serve Guo Du to check. With Guo Du check in the DPRK, the miscellaneous family feels very peaceful!"

Guo Shao patted Cao Tai on the shoulder: "Daddy Cao is also a good person with both ability and political integrity... This letter is for me."

Cao Tai excitedly said: "The miscellaneous family and Guo Du's inspection came after nine deaths, and the miscellaneous family has always remembered your good. What will Guo Du inspect plan to do with the secret letter? If the queen mother asks, the miscellaneous family is also easy to answer. "

"Return to Meng Chang." Guo Shao said, "If I want to kill him, I don't need this thing."

Cao Tai was thoughtful and seemed to be thinking about the purpose of Guo Shao's move, but he was not a talkative, so he didn't ask any more.

Guo Shao said: "If it's okay, I will go first."

Cao Tai made a ceremony and said: "The miscellaneous family should also rush back to ask the Queen Mother to report the matter, and then leave."

Guo Shao was not in a hurry. He took the letter and stayed home for a long time, chatting with Jingniang in the front yard living room while waiting for Zuo You. Zuo You comes to talk nonsense almost every day, so he usually comes by himself.

Sure enough, Zuo You entered the courtyard after not waiting long. There was no one to stop him and no notification was required. He entered Guo Shao's house as easily as he entered his own.

The two exchanged some recent news first to facilitate information sharing. Guo Shao took out the secret letter and handed it to Zuo You: "Take the time to go to the Palace of the Kingdom of Qin and return the letter to Meng Chang."

Zuo You first took the letter and took a look, his shoulder twitched: "This...it's so funny, it's not like looking for death."

Guo Shao glanced back at Jing Niang, and said calmly: "The Queen Mother didn't say to kill him. Zuo You went to return the secret letter, take the opportunity to observe Meng Chang's attitude, and try to figure it out. Let's talk about it. ."

Zuo You closed his smile and said: "Meng Chang really can't rebel, but we still have to watch out for his nonsense to affect the situation of the people in Shu."

Guo Shaozan said: "Mr. Zuo has more and more ideas, and there is a faint prime minister."

Zuo You hurriedly shook his head and said, "I dare not dare, I have too little seniority."

After speaking for a while, Zuo You got up, going to see Meng Chang immediately. Guo Shaoping has always said that those who are near Zhu are red and those who are black are black, and Guo Shaoping has always been in this way, and the people around him are also affected more or less.

At this time Jingniang said: "A Lang, I want to go with Mr. Zuo and see Mrs. Huarui."

Guo Shao smiled and said: "Alright, you are free, I did not tie your feet."

...... Zuo You rode in a carriage, and Jingniang wore a drapery hat to shade her. She was more eager than a man and went on horseback. The Palace of the Kingdom of Qin was in the eastern part of the inner city, not too far from the mansion of Guo Shao, and the carriages and horses could not walk along the street for a long time, and it would not take half an hour to slow down.

A group of people handed over a greeting note at the Palace of the Kingdom of Qin, but they went out to greet a tall and fat civil official. Zuo You said: "Taichang Temple Shaoqing Zuo You, if you want to meet Qin Guogong, I hope you can recommend it."

The civil officer hurriedly said: "Please, please come inside."

Zuo You went to the door with Jingniang. The civil officer was of much lower grade than Zuo You, and he only dared to walk behind and guide the direction with his hands, but he dared not go forward. Zuo You vaguely heard a scribe behind him whispered: "Zuo Shaoqing often enters the gate of Guo Du's inspection."

Zuo You ignored their whispers and didn't care. He said in his heart: I am Guo Shao's staff, so I can't cover it up; if it weren't for this identity, could I be the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple?

The civil official nodded and bowed, becoming more submissive. Zuo You saw it, and it was no wonder that he saw too much of this kind of thing; when the middle-ranking and low-ranking colleagues heard about his relationship, most of them looked like this.
