Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter Thirty-one: Qingtian High Official

It was night, Guo Shao asked Luo Mengzi and his wife to stay, and Luo's daughter-in-law, Yang Shi, accompanied Yulian to spend the night in that dilapidated hut. Luo Mengzi, wearing iron armor and holding a hammer, stood at the door all night. Guo Shao told him several times that he didn't have to guard like this, but he didn't listen. Luo Mengzi patted his chest and said, "I'm not as brave as my second brother in battle, I'm not as good as Zuo You with my bent intestines, but I, Lao Luo, must be the most loyal to my elder brother!"

Guo Shao saw that he was so willing, so he didn't bother to persuade him. He thought that if Yang Biao and Zuo You heard what he said just now, it might make them unhappy.

In Guo Shao's view, today is simply a farce. But thinking about how much Yulian valued her, after thinking about it for a while, she felt that treating other people's affairs... as a matter of fact is the only way to treat others sincerely.

Nothing happened overnight in the commercial street of the outer city. Early the next morning, he went to the official office in front of the temple to get his things, and asked Yang Biao to take his personal troops to Xuande Road at noon.

The imperial army just came back from the battle, and there will be a period of rest, except for the squadrons that take turns to go up to the straight and the bureau, everyone does not need to go to the barracks of the battalions for the time being. Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi and others are naturally in a rest period. However, Guo Shao had no one to use for a while, so he had to mobilize all the troops he could mobilize to make up the momentum; as the governor of the inner palace, he also had a certain amount of military power, but he had just taken office, so he couldn't rely on the army for a little personal matter.

The commander of the inner palace is Wang Shenqi, and it is said that he has just been promoted not long ago... In the two decisive battles from the Battle of Gaoping to the Battle of Jinyang, not counting the battle losses, the officials alone killed more than a hundred of their own court generals, and I don’t know how many were demoted and punished; the large number of vacancies left created a large number of upstarts in the army.

Chai Rong is generous in his work, at least from a series of deeds since he came to power, he has great courage, and his strategies are simple, crude and extremely effective. Deciding to bet on the fate of the country is the prelude, and then a large number of blood exchanges among the Forbidden Army is the beginning; and it seems that the matter is not over yet, and it is not so easy to be stable.

In any case, anyway, Guo Shao has no idea what this Wang Shenqi is and what kind of person he is. I have seen it once in my life, when Chen Qiaoyi was just appointed as the Marquis of Zhidu Yu in the Inner Palace to "worship the wharf", and he didn't say a few words before and after.

So Guo Shao decided to keep a low profile in the inner hall first, and wait for the situation. Of course, you won't go to the army just for something bigger.

On the other hand, when he was in charge of the things in front of the hall in the morning, he happened to meet Wang Shenqi. Guo Shao naturally talked with him, and his attitude was very polite.

Guo Shao went to the government office with the letter of appointment, and received a lot of things, personal items such as official uniforms and armor, as well as sticks, umbrellas, sedan chairs, plaques, gongs and other messy things. Several people helped carry them away. Guo Shao vaguely understood that this green umbrella seemed to be used by civil servants. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms simply did not pay attention to strict etiquette, and everything was a bit chaotic... But since the generals of the Imperial Army can also serve as governors of the state, maybe this umbrella is for the governors? After receiving it, they actually paid fifty guan as settling allowance.

An official of the Dianqian Division led a group of servants to move Guo Shao's things out, and then met a group of people waiting outside the Xuande Gate, and handed over the things. Zuo You and Yang Luo brought seventeen soldiers with them, all of whom wore ordinary clothes according to Guo Shao's wishes, without weapons.

Zuo You used to be a civil servant, so he divided things there and taught everyone the position of the team.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a large group of cavalry in bright armor coming from the direction of Ma Xing Street, all of them in solid armor, holding military flags, marching neatly towards Xuande Road.

Guo Shao stood there watching for a while, and when the horsemen approached, he gradually recognized the two in front, wasn't one of them Wang Shenqi? Looking at the flag again, it was indeed the military flag of the inner hall.

He hurriedly asked everyone to make way, and waited for the army of the chief general from the inner hall to pass first, and got ready to salute Wang Shenqi on the side of the road.

As soon as Guo Shao clasped his fists, Wang Shenqi raised his right hand high, signaling the army to stop.

Wang Shenqi jumped off the horse and walked straight to Guo Shao. Guo Shao clenched his fists and said: "The last general has seen the envoy of the king."

"Ha! Guo Yuhou." Wang Shenqi smiled, at least it seemed that his attitude was quite kind. Guo Shao hoped that he was really kind... but thinking about it, it shouldn't be a big problem. Although the two didn't know each other before, they didn't have any grudges. He, Wang Shenqi, didn't do well, so why bother with his lieutenant general? The only thing to pay attention to is this person's conduct, personality, etc., just look at whether you can get along with him or not.

At this time, Wang Shenqi said again: "I saw Guo Yuhou taking things in the office of the court in front of the palace in the morning, and asked someone to inquire about it. It turns out that Guo Yuhou is going to pick up people in a beautiful way?"

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself: I don't know if this guy is good or bad, but he must be a bit gossip.

Guo Shao responded with a relaxed smile: "Yes, the general has this plan in the end."

"Haha!" Wang Shenqi was very happy for some reason, pointing to the crowd of cavalry behind him, he said: "There are many people to have prestige, and Guo Yuhou's few people are not enough. These are the two teams of the first capital of the Eastern Banner. Du Chenggui and the military envoy of the first capital, let him lead the guards."

The young general behind Wang Shenqi bent down and gave a salute.

Guo Shao was stunned after hearing this, and thought to himself: Wang Shenqi is a superior official, so he can't be regarded as flattering himself, but what he did must be regarded as showing favor.

Immediately, he happily clasped his fists and said, "How can this be so? Ask Wang Dushi to bring someone here in person. It's just a little personal matter of the general, so it's not a big deal." He pondered for a while while talking, and then he simply accepted the kindness, "Thank you Wang Dushi! I will invite Wang Dushi to drink some time to express my gratitude."

Wang Shenqi waved his hand generously, and said again: "Then I will take my leave first, and I will talk about it at the barracks another day."

"Please slow down, envoy of the capital." Guo Shao hurriedly said politely.

He's in a great mood right now! In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was originally an unaccompanied place, where even parents had no one to rely on. Now that the kings and envoys have come to show their kindness, I feel very happy at the moment, and feel that the road is getting wider and wider!

The inner hall is not a regular field army, its numbers are not comparable to a normal army, it is divided into four squads, two squads each. Du Chenggui, the Dongban military envoy (the chief of the Yidu army, the infantry usually has a capital, and the cavalry usually has a military envoy), Du Chenggui, was originally not a high-ranking military officer, but there were not many soldiers in the inner palace, so the cavalry in his hand was still a bit strong. Guo Shao maintained the attitude that a general on the peak should have, and was still polite to Du Chenggui.

The group of people immediately increased from twenty people to more than seventy people. The team immediately became mighty. The sedan chair has a red roof and is carried by four people. The soldiers are dressed in ordinary clothes and rush to carry the sedan chair. Guo Shao advanced into the sedan chair and changed into the clothes he just got. He immediately thought of the performance of the old man Huang yesterday. The change of armor made it difficult for the common people to recognize it. Guo Shao simply changed into an official robe and put on a lacquer gauze hat.

As soon as he came out after changing, all the soldiers burst into laughter.

Guo Shao ignored it. He didn't sit in a sedan chair. Usually in the capital, only civil servants, dignitaries, or women sat in a sedan chair. A general was too lazy to sit in a sedan chair, so he got on his horse and left.

When the guard of honor was ready, they marched towards the Suzaku Gate at the south entrance of the inner city. Suzaku Road is quite spacious, even if there are a large group of carriages and horses, they will not occupy the road; however, pedestrians avoid this scene and dare not block the road.

When everyone passed the Longjin Bridge and turned to the left, the people in front beat the gongs and drums and shouted: "The idlers wait, stay away...the idlers wait, stay away!"

A group of iron cavalry in bright armor uniformly opened the way with tasseled guns, followed by two people holding wooden signs, one with "Quiet" written on it, and the other with "Avoidance", and a sign behind it, which stated Guo Shao's official position. In the middle, Guo Shao swaggered into the commercial street with a sedan chair.

This street is not a traffic artery at all, and any official would pass here if he is full of food. For a while, those who hurriedly gave way and those who took over the stalls made the streets full of smoke. It was noon, and there were a lot of people on the street, some of them were already having lunch in a hurry, and they all ran out to see the strangeness. People were driven to the side of the road, and the street was crowded with people for a while.

Guo Shao thought that he had made it like this, so he decided to go out and make a fool of himself, and immediately sat on the horse and cupped his fists and said to the common people: "My official, Guo Shao, is the new Marquis of Zhidu in the Inner Palace, Governor of Qianzhou! I used to live here, and many of the neighbors present may recognize me, ha!"

He laughed while talking: Which official would talk such nonsense to the people on the street?

But he was the only one smiling, and everyone was frightened and curious to watch this domineering scene, so many cavalry guards?

At this moment, suddenly a woman ran out from the slope, knelt down on the side of the road, held up a piece of paper with both hands, and cried loudly: "I am wronged! I am wronged! The Qingtian official is the master of the grassland people!"

Guo Shao's face darkened, and he stood there in a daze. Luo Yang and the others who followed also looked at each other, wanting to laugh but held back, maybe they saw the woman crying miserably, and they always felt that it was inappropriate to laugh.

Guo Shaoxin said: Mother | Can I manage a lawsuit?

The sky is bright and the sky is bright. People don't care what official you are, he couldn't step down immediately, so he looked at Zuo You. Zuo You walked forward calmly, stretched out his hand to take the pleadings, and said in a loud voice, "Come to the gate of Kaifeng mansion at you at night, and I'll help you hand over the pleadings."

The woman hurriedly said: "My God! I really saw the blue sky!"

Fortunately, Zuo You was clever, and Guo Shao got rid of the dog and the mouse and ordered the guard of honor to stop. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he jumped off the horse vigorously, walked to the front of the blacksmith's shop, took two pieces of the door panel, and walked in.

There are still some charcoal residues and iron utensils everywhere, and Yulian has already sat on the stool and waited. Her cheeks were flushed, and she was wearing an unpatched cloth dress, which was obviously not new, but clothes she had before... It was really hard for a woman to understand, she was so poor before, but she still had a set of clothes that looked okay. Guo Shao also suddenly woke up and found an oversight, why not give her money to prepare a good dress first?

"Guo Lang..." Yulian looked up at him, her voice trembling slightly.
