lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!
"Guo Shao usurped the throne, his age is not yet..." A man on a awning boat craned his neck and looked at a stone monument by the Yangtze River. Half of the stone was in the mud on the river bank, and half of it was exposed outside, appearing and disappearing under the scouring of the waves. The people in the boat on the river saw a bumpy stone on the river's edge, so they were curious to see it.
On the road along the river, occasional pedestrians also stop and look at it.
I don’t know how long this stone has been here, and how many people have seen it, but it has been ignored. The people of the world seem to be very proactive, and it is difficult to come forward and take care of their affairs.
The person watching on the awning boat said: "There is also a goat carved on it with two horns. What do you mean?"
The voice of an old man in the cabin said: "This year is the Year of the Goat. Boat, hurry up!"
The strange guy also jumped from the bow and got into the cabin. The short coat with the bow shook the sculls humanely: "This year happens to be the Year of the Goat. Is the thing on the stele saying this year or twelve years from now?"
The old man's voice said: "Stupid! Twelve years later, are you still in the dark?"
Amidst the sound of oars and chats, the awning boat drifted slowly on the vast river.
Just then, I saw a team of horsemen coming from the avenue. Several people holding the donkey cart on the road hurriedly led the cart to the side of the road and stopped to watch. A tall man in front of the horse soldier looked terrible. He was all heavily armored and heavily mounted behind him, with feathers on his head. As the horse rushed, a feather was shaking, like a reed flower in the wind. . There is a group of less glamorous servants behind. Seeing this battle, passers-by almost ran away without taking the road.
The strong man is Shi Yan. His men and horses happened to be stationed on the river bank. Hearing the report from the scout, he knew that there was such a thing here.
Shi Yan led the crowd to the stone, and jumped off the horse. A group of people walked to the riverside, also watching the writing on the stone. All the soldiers were silent, and none of them said a word. Shi Yan squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while.
An army officer next to him asked: "General, how to deal with this thing?"
Shi Yan said: "Take something to cover up, leave two people to watch, send someone to Jiangning City and report to Marshal Guo."
"Here." The minister answered with his fists, and immediately shouted hello to do something.
A few hours later, Shi Yan got a reply from Jiangning City in the barracks. He took it from his subordinates, took a look, stamped "Jiangnan Qianying Military Mansion", and wrote: Nantang State harbored unpredictable people and man-made rumors, broke the stone, and carried it to Shenjiang River.
Shi Yan read it in public, and passed it directly to the generals around him: "Do this and follow the military order."
The generals sitting on both sides talked about it for a while, but they didn't mention Guo Shao's usurpation of the throne, but only said how the stone appeared. Under Shi Yan's command, the main troops were the crane-controlling army with straight horses and straight bows and arrows. This army has not changed names for several generations, because whoever enters the imperial city will be given generous treatment to show grace and win.
At this moment, a general asked: "How does General Shi think about this?"
Although Shi Yan often acted arbitrarily, after all, he was mixed up from low-level generals, and he still knew something in his mind. Right now, I slapped my palm on the table, and there was a loud bang, and everything on it jumped up. The generals were shocked, and immediately stopped and turned their heads to look over.
Shi Yan said: "It's _ motherly to shut up!"
The generals hurriedly responded, and no one wanted to confront this guy, whether he was convinced by Shi Yan or not.
……
Guo Shao not only received the report of the Yangtze River out of the stone when he was in the army in Jiangning City, he also had a message written in the meaning of the Queen Mother of the Imperial City: The Yellow River was out of the stone.
Compared with the eight characters of Shi Yanzuobao, the stones "rushed out" in the Yellow River are richer in content: lewd symbols serve the three husbands, Jiangshan is the wedding dress; domestic slaves respond, snakes and wolves are forgotten.
Guo Shao's face was not worried, Wang Puzheng looked at the paper in his hand.
According to the usual habit, after Guo Shao reads the memorial, he usually passes it to the left and right, and then everyone gives advice. But this time Guo Shao didn't let the people around him, so he just folded the paper and stuffed it into his pocket.
Wang Pusui stopped speaking, Zuo You asked, "What happened?"
Guo Shao said: "Similar to Shi Yan's report, this time the stone came out from the Yellow River, slandering the Queen Mother and me."
Zuo You said: "The stone by the big river should have been made by the people of Southern Tang. The stone was also picked up from the Yellow River? The spies of the Northern Han Dynasty, or Hedong..."
Guo Shao didn't answer, frowning for a while. Xindao, the matter of fishing for stones from the water and imposing the "Way of Heaven" seems to have become a routine since ancient times. The Yellow Turban Army has done it, and Wu Zetian has done it... This time it’s good, I am not ready to play mystery, others have finished the matter first. But the writing is not good.
At the same time, one thing was confirmed: his plan to increase his reputation through foreign wars and then become emperor was so obvious that more than one or two people guessed it; this time he attacked Nantang and his class returned to the court to take advantage of his military power. The time to do it was also targeted by many people.
Compared with Zhao Kuangyin's sudden opportunity to make an opportunity and start his hand when he went abroad, the opportunity Guo Shao now encounters is more natural, but it is also too obvious.
In addition to the two civil servants Wang Pu Zuoyou, there were also two generals Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan. The crowd was silent for a while, and Wang Pucai said: "The generals who stayed in Jiangning, the old man still recommends Cao Bin. It is easy to destroy the country, and it is difficult to defend the land. At the end of last year, our dynasty was able to use troops against the Southern Tang State. The key role is not only to send a large amount of money, materials, and people to the war between China and Korea, but also not to contain the force of the Great Zhou in the rear. The Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the world's confinement and cracking of the land has not ended. The governance of the Southern Tang country has to imitate Shu The way. Cao Bin stationed in Shu last year, can restrain the soldiers, this year, let him stay in Jiangnan, there is nothing wrong."
Wang Pu seems to be deaf to what happened just now.
Guo Shaodao: "What Wang Shijun said is not unreasonable. At the moment, the first task is to send the envoy to Nandu (Nanchang) and persuade the remaining places to submit."
Wang Pu held his fist and said: "The Southern Tang country has to have someone to take charge of the aftermath. Wu Yueguo will also send people nearby. If General Guo wants to bring the banned soldiers back to the court, the old man asks to stay in Jiangnan. "
Guo Shao listened, and suddenly there was a speculation that Wang Pu didn’t want to "support the merits of the dragon", but he was unwilling to stop it; therefore, he wanted to stay in Jiangnan and stay away from this internal struggle... The purpose may be Keep the reputation of the loyal minister.
Guo Shao can understand if Wang Pu really has such a thought. But for a while, it was still a bit blocked, as if being left out by friends...Perhaps, there will be no friends at all in the future.
At this time, Wang Pu said again: "What the old man is going to say today, after finishing speaking, let's leave first."
Guo Shao didn't stay either and sent it to the entrance of the lobby. When I returned, there were only four people left in the lobby besides myself, those who had discussed secretly in the mountain village last time, and the guard and military commander Tan Shishi who stood at the door. Guo Shao said nothing, and walked straight inside. The others paused and followed.
A group of people walked to the door of the detention room, and Guo Shao looked back at Tan Shitou. Without talking, Tan Shitou said: "Subordinates understand."
This older man looks old, but he seems to be a bit more sophisticated than Lu Chengyong.
Guo Shao sat down on the chair behind the Gongan, pointed to the stool chair outside and said: "Find a place to sit on your own."
Zuo You opened the mouth and said: "Just now I thought about it again. The rock in the Yellow River may not be the work of Li Yun in Hedong, but Zhao Kuangyin who fled to the Northern Han Dynasty."
Guo Shao nodded after listening, and the two generals did not object. Guo Shao said in his heart: According to history, Zhao Kuangyin's position originally belonged to him. Now that he sees the situation, he must be very jealous and unwilling to say a few words.
Zuo You said again: "This kind of mysticism can only deceive the fools of the wild, and those with a little knowledge will not believe it. Most of them guess it is the Lord’s enemy. It is inconvenient for us to come forward to explain. The treacherous man is in his arms; but the lord may order the generals to temporarily prohibit the spread of rumors in the army."
Li Chuyun groaned: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. In this juncture, the lord really pays attention to fame and prestige."
Zuo You frowned and said: "Then how to deal with it?"
At this moment, there was a faint voice outside the door. Several people were more alert when they were discussing secret matters, and immediately stopped talking.
Guo Shao also stayed silent for a while, sitting in a chair and waiting. Sure enough, Tan Shitou said outside the door after a while: "Master, something happened in the city. A general came in to report and stopped him from a humble position. So he said a few words. Now he is beaten away."
Guo Shao said loudly: "Come in and report, what happened?"
Qin Shitou pushed open the door to enter, clasped his fist and said: "A few soldiers slipped out of the barracks and broke into a private house. They not only robbed their property, but also raped their wives and concubines. After being humiliated, this woman couldn’t think about it and she hanged herself! Now the people in the workshop are carrying the body to the barracks. The crowd is crowded, blocking the road."
"Bang!" Guo Shao slapped his face on the gong'an, his face changed suddenly, "Whose subordinate? I immediately caught the Chinese army for questioning."
Tin Shitou said: "You can take photos of the lord's personal soldiers in the humble position, but there must be a military order...the humble position can go to the Secret Envoy Wang to order?"
Guo Shao nodded and said: "I will order Shi Yan to meet with the army in Jiangning City."
"Here." Tan Shitou responded.
