Xunyi knew that Wang Xiang must have a way to deal with the emperor.
Otherwise, he would not act so confident.
But the problem is that Wang Xiang is now imprisoned. Although in name he is just reflecting in the house, in fact it is no different from being in jail.
You have to find a way to fish this person out.
Xun Yi has already discovered his shortcomings. Wang Xiang is very capable of finding opportunities. If he can stay by his side and the two of them join forces, Xun Yi will be responsible for uniting the ministers, and Wang Xiang will be responsible for finding the right opportunity to take action. The ministers, who are like scattered sand, can once again form an unstoppable force.
There are not many people around the emperor now, but compared with the wealthy families, they are still quite limited.
The military power in the hands of the emperor is becoming more and more stable, but the military power in the hands of the wealthy families is not without it.
It's just that the big clans can't unite closely, and even in the most critical times, they still work on their own.
Xun Yi and Wang Xiang looked at each other for a few times, and Xun Yi stood up to say goodbye.
Zhao Guo sent him out all the way.
Xunyi didn't know how to bring Wang Xiang out and get him out of His Majesty's control.
It can also be seen from His Majesty's attitude towards Wang Xiang that His Majesty attaches great importance to Wang Xiang and cannot let him go easily.
Moreover, Wang Xiang was also involved in Gao Rou's rebellion, and the emperor could execute him at any time.
Wang Su and Wang Xiang were also at odds with each other.
Xunyi suddenly felt a headache when he thought about it.
The trick of submitting a collective letter does not work every time.
When His Majesty wants to punish a person, the ministers can collectively submit a letter to protect him, but there is no such thing as a collective petition to request the emperor to promote a person.
It is a bit difficult to get the emperor to reinstate Wang Xiang, but he can still find a way to pardon his crimes and let him regain his freedom.
Xunyi frowned. He was not a strategist. Although he knew that Wang Xiang was the person who could change the current situation, there was no way to save him.
When Xun Yi returned to his mansion, there was already a person standing at the door waiting for his arrival.
Seeing this person, Xunyi was shocked and hurriedly got out of the car.
The man standing in front of Xun Yi was tall and extraordinary in appearance, just like Zhuge Dan, a steady and elegant old man.
"Zhong Nan! Long time no see!"
Xunyi couldn't help but speak.
This old man, called Guo Pei, was the younger brother of the late cavalry general Guo Huai.
He previously served as the prefect of Chengyang County, but later resigned because of his son's affairs. He has always stayed in his own house. Xunyi did not expect to meet him here.
Guo Pei is different from the young boy Guo Zhang. He has been a local official for a long time in the past. Although he has never entered a temple, he has a great vision and courage to do things.
He had two sons-in-law, the first son-in-law was named Jia Chong, and the second was named Pei Xiu.
Yes, the relationship between big clans is so complicated.
Jia Chong died in the hands of Cao Mao, but Pei Xiu became Cao Mao's confidant.
Xun Yi happily took his hand and invited him into the house. He probably knew the reason why Guo Pei appeared here, it was for Guo Zhang.
Since the death of Guo Huai, their family's life has not been easy. Although there are several two thousand stones in charge, and Guo Huai's son is also seeking the position of governor, this is not enough.
Especially after losing several important supports in a row, they can no longer lose Guo Zhang.
Xun Yi looked down on Guo Zhang, but still welcomed Guo Pei.
When the two of them entered the inner room, there was no false greeting, and Guo Pei got straight to the point.
"Your Majesty's actions are really becoming more and more unorganized."
"It is really chilling to let an eunuch raid my nephew's home."
Xunyi was overjoyed. He was waiting for such a person. He immediately said: "This is all because of the eunuch."
"Mr. Xun, don't do this again."
"Do you know why you are defeated one after another when facing the emperor? Is it because you don't even have the courage to accuse the emperor, so the emperor can't accuse you?"
"When the Ming Emperor wanted to overhaul the palace, didn't the ministers write a letter to advise and criticize him?"
"When King Qi wanted to promote eunuchs, didn't the ministers reprimand him?"
"The emperor today is young and has done such ridiculous things. Shouldn't he be reprimanded?"

Guo Pei spoke one after another, but Xun Yi didn't dare to speak. He looked around and then whispered: "Guo Gong, you don't know something. Your Majesty is by no means an emperor like Emperor Ming and King Qi."
"When His Majesty came to Luoyang, he had no one around him. He was imprisoned in the Taiji Palace and surrounded by people who were monitoring him. But within just one year, His Majesty managed to win over the ministers, take back military power, and promote generals to outsiders. The cronies killed Jia Chong, defeated the general, killed Gaorou, demoted Sima Fu, deposed Wang Xiang, captured Sima Zhao alive, and defeated Jiang Wei again."
"In the past, the generals of the Four Expeditions were away, and it was difficult for even the generals to control them, but now? Zhuge Dan came to the temple in person to serve as Taiwei, Wang Chang stayed with the emperor all night and did not dare to go out, and Guanqiu Jian even held the emperor in high esteem. The banner has never been disobeyed, Chen Ben was running for His Majesty at Zhongshutai, how could he only visit friends in Luoyang, and Sima Wang stayed in the house and did not leave the house?"
The more Xun Yi spoke, the more desperate he became, with obvious fear in his eyes.
"This is not what Emperor Ming or King Qi can do. This is not even what Emperor Wen can do. This is the courage and talent that only Emperor Wu has!"
"And the most frightening thing is that His Majesty is only fifteen years old. He is extremely smart, the best at learning, and can keep improving with each passing day. In time, he may not even be able to match Emperor Wu!"
After Xun Yi said this, Guo Pei was immediately silenced.
He looked at Xun Yi in shock.
Are you a loyal minister? ? ?
I came all the way here to help you deal with the emperor. When we met, you flattered the emperor. Are you sent by the emperor to fish? ?
I think your respect for the emperor is greater than that of Zhong Hui and his ilk!
Seeing Guo Pei's shocked eyes, Xun Yi also reacted. He cleared his throat hurriedly and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I just don't think you should despise your majesty."
Guo Pei was a little unhappy. No wonder you people can't get things done. With a leader like you, it's no wonder that you can get things done.
Guo Pei said: "Talent and strategy are not the most important. As a king, the most important thing is benevolence, righteousness and morality. Didn't King Zhou have talent? Didn't the First Emperor have strategy? But they didn't have benevolence, righteousness and morality, so they were ruined. own country!"
"And the more talented and resourceful a person without benevolence, righteousness and morality is, the more miserable the world will be!"
"What we need to do today is not to regain the power of the ministers, but to remove the unkind king and install a king who can govern the world well!"
Xunyi only felt horrified.
Suddenly I didn't dare to speak.
Xun Yi really didn't have such bad intentions. He just wanted to preserve his position and then compete for power with his ministers. But in Guo Pei's eyes, his duel with the emperor was simply that of a child. game!
This power struggle was supposed to be bloody and murderous. He didn't even dare to talk about dealing with the emperor. He kept mumbling about eunuchs all day long, and most of the matter failed before it was even done.
Seeing the silent Xun Yi, Guo Pei was very disappointed and stood up to leave, but Xun Yi hurriedly stopped him.
"Mr. Guo, no matter what, we must solve the current predicament first. I want to rescue the prince. The prince is a man of strategy and courage. He took action personally to deal with the general. If he can be rescued."
Guo Pei laughed and said, "Has Your Majesty ever asked him to do corvee work?"
"No."
"Did His Majesty say that he wanted to kill him?"
"Not even."
"Then what else do we need to save? Tomorrow I will go to Wang Xiang with a document and ask Wang Xiang to write a document to express his regrets, accuse Gao Rou and others of their crimes, and just confess to the emperor."
"The emperor can only admit the crimes of Gao Rou and others. If he admits it, then the prince will reflect on it. When the time comes, you can lead the ministers to take him out."
"I have also heard about his fight with Wang Su, so it would be easier. Send people to find out the evil deeds of Wang Su and his relatives, and then tell the world about it. It will spread the word, and it will be good to ruin his reputation. As long as he has a bad reputation Well, what if Wang Xiang copied his?"
Guo Pei pointed out the direction and path for Xun Yi with a few words. Xun Yi was particularly excited at this moment.
"What Mr. Guo said makes sense!"
"I will send someone to take care of this matter now. When Wang Su was a local magistrate, he had a bad reputation for his harsh administration. His youngest son was extremely extravagant and once asked for money from others."
Guo Pei nodded with satisfaction.
Children can be taught.
He added: "One more thing. In these days, the reason why your affairs were exposed is probably because some ministers secretly informed His Majesty. You should not distinguish between ministers and the emperor based on their closeness. If you do things, If you are not careful enough, you will definitely fail.”
"I know what you are thinking. You want to gather the ministers and win with the power of the majority."
"But the battle in the temple has never been about numbers. This is not a war outside. As long as a few loyal and reliable people are involved, great things can be accomplished."
"No one can know about the things we are discussing. You'd better find some of the closest clan members to handle it."
"Let them keep their mouths shut and don't leak it everywhere! Don't ask those who take powder and drink alcohol to handle such things!"
"Gao Rou's original plan was ruined by these fusan villains!"
Guo Pei made several explanations, and Xun Yi nodded in agreement.
The arrival of Guo Pei gave Xun Yi immediate confidence that he could mobilize many powerful families, Guo Pei could make suggestions, and Wang Xiang could decide the timing. In addition, there were many talents in the temple, as well as a large number of people who were dissatisfied with the emperor.
If this power can be gathered together, there really is no need to be so afraid of the emperor. I dare not say that I will depose the emperor as Guo Pei said. Anyway, I will no longer live in such fear!
