Han Shizu

Chapter 699
After the palace meeting, all the ministers dispersed, Liu Chengyou left Guo Rong alone, and the two ministers wandered among the palace rooms.Liu Chengyou is half a head taller than Guo Rong, but in terms of image, he is a bit better than Guo Rong.

Of course, there is almost a round difference in age between the two, so there is not much comparison.Liu Chengyou is still young, while Guo Rong has been in a high position for many years as he grows older. He has cultivated his energy and looked after him, but he has the temperament of a middle-aged man with a successful career.

"A good news from Liyang, I can sleep peacefully for a few days!" Feeling the heat of summer on his back, Liu Chengyou felt a little emotional.

He was insincere. The battle in Jinghu, from the beginning to the present, has not been to the point where he can't sleep or eat.He was just looking for something to say.

"Murong Yanzhao is in charge of the overall situation in front, and there are many elite soldiers working hard, and there are sages in the center who can take care of the inside and outside, and Hunan's minor troubles, so His Majesty can rest easy!" Guo Rong said with a restrained smile.

Liu Chengyou turned his head, glanced at him, and said with a pair of tricks flashing with inspiration: "In your words, don't forget some people!"

When Guo Rong heard the words, Liu Chengyou smiled and said: "This time the troop mobilization and strategic arrangement are all planned by you, Shumi Guo, who knows that you are modest and serious, but I can see your functions clearly! "

Guo Rong's expression became a little more serious, he shook his head lightly, and replied: "I really dare not take credit for it!"

Liu Chengyou pointed to the south, and continued, his tone was always a bit wrong: "There is also Xing Guogong, the transfer of the army's food and supplies, the supply is abundant, and the care of the rear is even more hard work! In the whole dynasty, only you and your son have this pillar. The power of the country!"

Hearing the emperor mentioning Guo Wei and saying that again, Guo Rong's heart tightened immediately, and almost instinctively, he cupped his hands and said, "Father and son, I dare not take this honor. As your Majesty's servants, I just do my best!"

Seeing Guo Rong's serious reaction, Liu Chengyou shrugged his shoulders, his face became warmer, and his smile was warmer than Xia Yang's: "I'm just expressing my feelings! Speaking of which, it's been three years since Duke Xing was in Zhongnan for me. Bar!"

"My father was in the spring of the fifth year of Qianyou, and he went south to work!" Guo Rong replied.

"Xing Guogong is the founding official of the country. He is the leader of the country and has great wealth. He can't stay abroad for a long time. After Jinghu is pacified, he should be recalled to Tokyo! The former, father and son live separately, I feel ashamed!" Liu Chengyou Said quietly.

"Your Majesty is serious. They are all serving the country, regardless of internal and external!" Responding to Liu Chengyou's words, Guo Rong thought more deeply.

What the emperor said cannot be taken seriously. If Guo Wei returns, he will surely occupy the position of Zaifu Sangong, so it is time for his son to be released again.Being in the center and in charge of the military aircraft, political struggles are inevitable. Guo Rong also understands many things very clearly.

Liu Chengyou didn't mean to point out the matter, but suddenly mentioned: "Guo Ning is also 18 years old!"

Guo Ning is the fifth daughter of Guo Wei, she has a beautiful appearance, and she has not been married yet. Of course, everyone in the government knows that she was ordered by the emperor to know her elegance by listening to the string songs. Guo Rong replied, "Wu Niang is indeed eighteen years old!"

"The Empress Dowager is sick and cannot be cured for a long time. I am deeply worried. Now that I have reached the age, I also plan to bring her into the palace to fight against evil. Take time and let her enter the palace and meet the Empress Dowager in the Hall of Ciming!" Liu Chengyou ordered as it should with.

Hearing this, Guo Rong stretched his expression a lot, and he clapped his hands and said, "Yes!"

After Guo Rong retired, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but climbed on the railing in front of the Chongzheng Hall. The intensity of the day was already a bit unbearable, but the gloomy expression on Liu Chengyou's expression could not be dispelled.The contemplation in Shenyu was a bit frightening, and Zhang Dejun, who had been serving him for many years, did not dare to step forward to disturb him.

It is undeniable that because of the original history, Liu Chengyou has always been jealous and wary of the Guo family and his son.Although with these years, his throne has become more stable and the imperial power has become more and more prosperous, the initial low-level anxiety and suspicion have long since disappeared.Moreover, because of his talent, he trusted both of them and was promoted to rank.I also appreciate Guo Rong's talent and personality.

However, I am afraid of everything. After so many years of development, the Guo family has become more and more prominent in the Han Dynasty. It belongs to the top family. .

Only the Privy Council, although it has experienced Yang Bin, Guo Wei, Zhe Congruan, and Guo Rong since the founding of the country, but most of the time, the people in power are the Guo family and his son.

As for the forces in the army, although Liu Chengyou has rectified and balanced them several times, there are still many generals with the label of "Guo Shi" who are reused.Guo Rong didn't mention it. During the Huainan War, he single-handedly challenged Huaidong Liang, and established his reputation in the first battle.

Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin was a senior general of the imperial army, and now he is in charge of Longjie's right wing horse army.Zhang Yongde was also promoted to the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Wujie Army, because he had been on duty for many years and made many contributions.As for the other generals and schools who were influenced by the promotion of Guo's father and son, there are countless. For example, in the Huainan War, Guo Chong, a cavalry general with great merit, was under Guo Wei's command for many years, and now he is also in the Iron Cavalry Army.

Take this Southern Expedition as an example, Shi Yanchao and Guo Wei have old relationships.Du Hanhui was a general who surrendered from the previous dynasty, and he also had good friends with him in the early years of the founding of the country.As for Pan Mei, he is considered self-reliant now, but in the beginning, he was basically regarded as Guo Rong's retainer, and Guo Rong took the initiative to recommend him to Liu Chengyou.No matter how long time passes, with Pan Mei's temperament, she will always remember that kindness.

Judging from the Wu Desi's supervision report, even though Guo Wei stayed away from the center for three years, all the generals in the southern expedition, from Murong Yanzhao down, respect Guo Wei very much. Liu Chengyou attaches great importance to it.

Moreover, these are all the results of the Guo family's father and son, who did not deliberately manage the relationship between the military and even deliberately concealed it.

Liu Chengyou has reflected on why such a situation occurs. First of all, there is the problem of him as the emperor. At least on the surface, Liu Chengyou is too fond of the Guo family and his son.

Of those prominent officials and generals at the founding of the country, how many people are left in the court today?Guo Wei was basically the only one left, one family and two dukes, father and son inherited the Privy Council, nephews, relatives, and old friends were all over the military and government.

However, it is undeniable that the "Guo family" generals appointed by Liu Chengyou did have their talents.Liu Chengyou had to feel fortunate that he rectified the imperial army early enough, and his control over it was constantly strengthening.And most of the young warriors, rising stars, grew up under his care and became the backbone of the Han Imperial Army today.Otherwise, Guo Wei might not be able to keep his status as the "last official".

Even so, considering Guo's influence in the military and government, Liu Chengyou had to use some means and make some adjustments.Yu Guo, Yu Jun, and Yu Guo all need to change.

However, Liu Chengyou needs to think carefully about how to adjust. He can analyze his power, but he can't suppress it needlessly.Just like operating a knife, performing an operation is a delicate job.

If Liu Chengyou accepts the wife of the Guo family, then Guo's reputation in the court and the public will continue to rise to a higher level, and perhaps it will also become a sign of prosperity and decline.

The relatives of the Fu, Gao, and Zhe clans have considerable influence inside and outside the military and politics, but in fact, their influence on the ruling core of the imperial court is not as great as imagined.Guo's is not the case, just look at the generals of the Forbidden Army who can be named.

In fact, for Liu Chengyou, if Guo Wei died at this time, many problems would be solved, and his worries would be greatly eliminated.

Guo Wei is the only one who has that prestige to integrate Guo's son, nephew, son-in-law and old friends.Guo Rong has that ability, but if Guo Wei dies, he has no room to display it.

In this way, the Guo family may still be the top family and noble relatives of the Han Dynasty, but the influence will not be so terrible, because many people give Guo Wei face.

Do you want Guo Wei to die?There was a stern look on Liu Chengyou's expression, but he quickly disappeared, showing a wry smile.

The former still wants to marry someone else's daughter, but in his heart he is looking forward to the death of his father-in-law, which is too immoral.
