After Wang Fu said goodbye and left, Pharmacist Guo was so excited that he couldn't settle down in the official residence arranged by Wang Fu, so he walked back and forth. The official residence is magnificently decorated, and there are many servants providing services to Pharmacist Guo. Several maids watched the excited Pharmacist Gao walking back and forth. They didn't know what to do, so they stood quietly aside.
Thinking of having an audience with Emperor Huizong tomorrow, Medicine Master Guo was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He had the urge to shout and vent his anger.
Pharmacist Guo glanced at the maid standing in the hall and waved. Several maids saw this and hurried out of the hall.
Pharmacist Guo was the only one left in the hall.
The excited Pharmacist Guo shed tears.
What a noble and supreme honor this is! I, Pharmacist Guo, a local official and ordinary general of Liao State, can actually enjoy the treatment of one person and more than ten thousand people in the Celestial Kingdom? !
Pharmacist Guo recalled his life, from joining the Resentful Army to fight against the Jurchens to serving as the commander of the Liao Kingdom's Zhuoyi Prefecture and Changsheng Army. He indeed enjoyed preferential treatment from high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty valued himself so highly. It seems that it has never happened. In the excitement, Pharmacist Guo secretly made up his mind that he would serve the Song Dynasty and the Holy Emperor, and he would go through fire and water, risking life and death, to achieve immortal feats and repay the kindness of the Holy Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
With his thoughts running wild, Pharmacist Guo hurriedly walked to the case, spread out the paper, studied the ink, and thought about how to write a memorial to Emperor Huizong that could express his heartfelt feelings.
Pharmacist Guo felt that he had thousands of words to say to Emperor Huizong.
In excitement, Pharmacist Guo picked up his pen and started writing quickly.
Pharmacist Guo wrote:
"Chen Guo Pharmacist is a native of Bohai Tiezhou. I am Han by birth, and my ancestor is Guo Gong of Beiguo, who has lived in Jinyang for generations. Jingtang, the Taizu of Jin Dynasty, cut off the sixteen states of Youyan and Khitan, and recognized Khitan as his uncle's country. He was the son of Jinyang Many people entered the territory of Khitan. Since then, my ancestors have flowed into Khitan and moved to Bohai Iron Prefecture for nearly two hundred years.
Looking back on the past, I am filled with emotion. Think of the Khitan, which arose in the fields of Shuo. With its weapons and armor at its peak, the drums and drums were exposed, it swept across the river and Shuo, and established the Jin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. How majestic it was? Taizu and Taizong took advantage of the momentum of hundreds of battles to build a new country, and they were wise and wise. A little, it can be said to be far away. Although Emperor Shizong was a talented person, Emperor Mu Zong was cruel and was repeatedly killed, but his magical weapon remained unshakable. The order of the ancestors is enough to shock the people of the country. Since the reign of Emperor Shengzong, we have cultivated politics internally and expanded our borders externally, thus promoting good neighborliness and peace and tranquility all around. The foundation that has been maintained for more than a hundred years has come naturally. However, since he descended to Tianzuo, he has been in bad luck and lacked the hope of others. He believed in traitors and returned to the country, and his followers were alienated. In the episode "Golden Soldiers", internal difficulties are the first to strike, plans for establishment are abandoned, and signs of rebellion arise one after another. The training leads to the collapse of the army, which cannot be restored. It is a good thing but a sad thing!
Chen has been familiar with scriptures since he was a child. He has been deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and has profound attainments. My ancestor, my father, often taught pharmacists that when in a foreign land, they should not forget their motherland. Therefore, although I was born in the land of Khitan, my heart longs for my homeland in the Central Plains, and I often think about it in my dreams. When he grows up, he practices martial arts and keeps fit, and becomes proficient in all kinds of martial arts.
During the Tianqing period, the Jurchens caused chaos. The King of Yan recruited hungry people as soldiers to avenge the Jurchens, so they were called the "Resentful Army". I appointed myself as the leader of the resentful army. I fought many battles with the Jurchens and won more than they lost. I was deeply trusted by the Liao court. Later, the Jurchens invaded most of the Khitan territory, and Luo Qing rebelled. Xiao Qian, the commander of the capital, led the troops to quell the rebellion, and promoted pharmacists and Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, and Zhen Wuchen to generals. Tianzuo fled to the west, and Tianxi succeeded to the throne. He changed the Yuan Army to the Changsheng Army, and appointed his minister Zhuo Yi to stay in the two states and control the Changsheng Army. However, Tian Xi's fate was unlucky and he soon died of illness. The Xiao family took charge of the military and political affairs of Liao. Instead of working hard to govern, he was full of doubts. The minister's pharmacists lived in the Liao Dynasty and were loyal to the Liao Dynasty. They can be said to be loyal and sincere. The empress dowager Xiao Pu was very suspicious and wanted to harm the Chinese generals such as the pharmacist. The pharmacist had no choice but to surrender to the Celestial Empire.
I abandoned the secrets and surrendered to the light, and submitted to the Heavenly Dynasty. The Holy Emperor treated me with great kindness, and granted me the post of pioneer deputy envoy. I still have the responsibility of commanding the troops. I am deeply grateful. I am a wandering wanderer, and now that I have returned home, I will have a master who can only feel it. I have nothing to say, but I only wish to do my best for the imperial court and be loyal to the Holy One. When the imperial court regains the homeland of Youyan, I will gallop on the battlefield, charge into battle, not avoid the sword, and die before myself.
I thank you, long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!
Pharmacist Guo lived in Zhongyue, the fifth year of Xuanhe's reign in the Song Dynasty.
That night, Pharmacist Guo wrote a memorial to Emperor Huizong in excitement. He revised it repeatedly, but he always felt that the words did not convey the meaning and the meaning was not fully expressed, and he could not fully express his supreme respect for the Song Dynasty and the Holy Emperor.
However, Pharmacist Guo's level was only so low. No matter how much he tried to write his memorial with brilliant writing and full of affection, he still couldn't do it as he wished. He felt very sorry and couldn't sleep for a long time.
That night, Pharmacist Guo spent his time in excitement.
On the second day, Wang Fu personally came to Guo Yaoshi's temporary residence and invited Guo Yaoshi to enter the palace with him to meet Emperor Huizong.
When Medicine Master Guo saw Wang Fu personally coming to invite him, he was flattered and knelt down to worship Wang Fu. When Wang Fu saw this, he was so panicked that he quickly helped Yaoshi Guo up from his knees. Wang Fu said to Pharmacist Guo: "General Guo must not be like this. I can't bear it." Pharmacist Guo said: "Be kind to the pharmacist and you will be reborn. The pharmacist owes you kindness. No matter what, it is not an exaggeration."
"It's passed, it's passed." Wang Fu said repeatedly: "The Prime Minister and the general are both ministers of the court, and the etiquette must not cross the line. Besides, the general has made outstanding achievements and will be extremely valuable in the future. Maybe the Prime Minister will still rely on the general in the future. Woolen cloth!"
When Medicine Master Guo saw this, he became even more panicked and wanted to kneel down again. Wang Fu Gang quickly supported him and said, "General Guo, there is no need to be more polite. Quickly follow me to the palace to see the Holy One. This is business."
When Medicine Master Guo saw this, he stopped being polite, bowed to Wang Fu, and said, "It's all arranged by the Prime Minister, and the Medicine Master is very grateful. The Medicine Master treats the kindness like an ox and a horse, and will definitely repay it."
Wang Fu stopped being polite to Pharmacist Guo and urged Pharmacist Guo out of the official residence, took a sedan chair, and rushed to the palace.
Arriving in front of the palace gate, Wang Fu and Guo Yaoshi got off the sedan chair.
Looking at the magnificent gate of the palace, Yaoshi Guo's heart beat violently. This is the supreme holy land of heaven! Here lives Emperor Zhao, whom he has admired for a long time! I, Medicine Master Guo, can also come here in person and meet the Holy One of the Celestial Dynasty!
Pharmacist Guo felt his beating heart beating against his chest like a hammer. Pharmacist Guo quickly pressed his chest with his hands. He was afraid that his hot heart would jump out of his chest and kill him.
Wang Fu looked at Pharmacist Guo and smiled faintly.
Wang Fu said to Pharmacist Guo: "Please, General Guo."
Pharmacist Guo clasped his fists, bowed to Wang Fu, and said, "Thank you!"
Wang Fu then took Pharmacist Guo into the palace and came to the main hall.
Entering the palace, Medicine Master Guo knelt on the ground, crawled forward, and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Huizong said: "Guo Qing has a flat body."
Pharmacist Guo didn't dare to stand flat, but he still knelt on the ground.
The man kneeling in front of him is the man who dedicated himself to the two states of Zhuo Yi and led the victorious army to surrender. This man allowed the imperial court to recover the two states of Zhuoyi without wasting a single soldier. Seeing that after Youyan regained his homeland, he became the most accomplished monarch since the Song Dynasty. How could Emperor Huizong not be excited? !
The excited Emperor Huizong stood up, left the dragon throne, came to the main hall, bent down, and personally helped Yao Shi Guo who was kneeling on the ground. Pharmacist Guo secretly saw Emperor Huizong coming to help him. He was flattered and burst into tears. He cried and said: "My lord! How can I be so virtuous and capable that I dare to serve my lord? I deserve to die for my crime. I will live in peace." As he said this, he stood up in a hurry before Emperor Huizong could help him.
Emperor Huizong patted Pharmacist Guo affectionately on the shoulder and said, "Deputy Ambassador Guo Xianfeng is a meritorious official of the imperial court, so there is no need to be polite."
Pharmacist Guo was so moved that he trembled all over.
Emperor Huizong returned to the dragon throne and sat down.
Pharmacist Guo stepped forward, took out the memorial he had written last night from his sleeve, and bent down to present it to Emperor Huizong.
The palace official took the memorial from Pharmacist Guo and handed it to Emperor Huizong.
Emperor Huizong unfolded Guo Yaoshi's memorial and began to read it. After a while, Emperor Huizong finished reading Pharmacist Guo's memorial and said to Pharmacist Guo: "Guo Qing was born in the northern country, grew up in Khitan, and achieved great success in the desert, but he was thinking about the Central Plains, yearning for the imperial court, and dedicated Zhuoyi to the two states. Wan Changsheng's army surrendered to the imperial court, which is indeed an outstanding achievement. Guo Qing came to the court and came to see me. There is no need to see anyone else. I will chat with you about the affairs between the Jin, Liao and Song Dynasties, and you can just tell the story."
Pharmacist Guo bent down and replied, "I sincerely obey the imperial edict."
Emperor Huizong asked: "In your opinion, what is the strategic goal of the Jin Kingdom? Will it occupy the homeland of Youyan and erode southward?"
Pharmacist Guo replied: "Replying to your Majesty. In my opinion, the Jin people have no great ambitions and have no intention of resisting the Celestial Empire."
Huizong said: "According to Secretary Zhao's report, the Jin people have occupied Youzhou. What does this mean?"
Pharmacist Guo said: "Replying to your Majesty, Youzhou should have been captured by the imperial court. I was appointed as the Deputy Pioneer Envoy, and under the leadership of Ambassador Liu Xianfeng, I sneaked into Youzhou City. The great achievement was about to be completed, but unfortunately the troops and horses outside the city were not able to respond. As a result, The success is in vain. Holy lord, the reason why the imperial court failed to capture Youzhou is actually because the Liao soldiers resisted with all their might; the reason why the Jin people captured Youzhou was because the imperial army contained the Liao army, not because the Jin people were brave and good at fighting."
Huizong said: "I already know what Guo Qing said. I know Guo Qing is brave and good at fighting. I will definitely praise Guo Qing vigorously."
Pharmacist Guo gratefully replied: "I am loyal and filial to the Holy One. I do it willingly and without any intention of repaying you."
Emperor Huizong was concerned about recovering Youyan's homeland, so he asked again: "In your opinion, the imperial court can recover Youyan's homeland."
"Of course!" Guo Yaoshi replied: "Your Majesty, the Jin people occupied Youzhou and violated the covenant between the Song and Jin Dynasties. The imperial court will fight hard to take back Youyan's homeland."
Emperor Huizong was overjoyed when he heard this.
