You must know that Guo Rong was on guard against Zhang Yongde at the beginning. Although Zhang Yongde had always shown loyalty, Emperor Guo Rong still acted secretly and did not allow Zhang Yongde's actual power to be too large, and his influence expanded to all aspects.
Although this kind of thing was not stated explicitly, it reached its peak from the moment the two people competed for the throne to Zhang Yongde's appointment. But what the ever-smart Guo Rong never expected was that someone would actually involve him in the game, using both him and Zhang Yongde as pawns.
I have been shrewd all my life, but I have never understood that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind!
In the eyes of many people, Guo Rong, who was ordered by heaven, never thought that he would die suddenly in an accident. Perhaps it was in these last few days that he truly understood that he, the emperor, was also going to die.
Although the edicts came out of the palace immediately, only Guo Rongquan knew whether they could be implemented. He never thought that when this man calculated, he not only lost his prestige, but also made Zhang Yongde think that he had always been the one to attack his family.
Zhang Yongde's current prestige in the court is unquestionable. The Zhang family has been a famous military general family since the late Tang Dynasty, so there are many old relatives and relatives. The most important thing is that he is the son-in-law of Emperor Taizu Guo Wei, and Princess Shou'an is the only biological bloodline of Emperor Taizu.
Needless to say, everyone knows that there are still many ministers in the court who are loyal to Emperor Taizu Guo Wei. Even though he has attracted many die-hard loyalists in recent years, the source of their gratitude still comes from Emperor Taizu.
If he knew that he had attacked Zhang Yongde and Zhang Yongde had not made any mistakes, this would be the biggest joke to him. Of course, as a contemporary Ming Dynasty master, it is undoubtedly the biggest loss.
Guo Rong has no doubt that someone may take advantage of the topic.
In fact, it has always been like this. After discovering the troubles of the Nine Yang Sect, Guo Rong wanted to take action against this cancer. Therefore, when Fu Zhaoju, the governor of Zhaozhou, was ordered to take action, it was not because he was Fu Yanqing's nephew. If it had been anyone else, Guo Rong would have given the same order, but the ending might not be so perfect.
No matter how famous the Nine Suns Sect is, for the political power and the imperial court, if they want to continue to survive in the Central Plains, they must make coordination and concessions. Guo Rong deliberately alerted the enemy and wanted to see who was behind it and truly supported the Nine Suns faction's actions.
Guo Rong was suspicious of Li Jixun at first, because Li Jixun was not only a disciple of Cui Shaoyang, the leader of the Nine Suns Sect, but also the military governor of his own feudal town. In this era, as long as the vassal town has military power, it is possible to stand out, so Guo Rong also responded in time.
However, although Li Jixun has risen rapidly in recent years, Guo Rong also knows that his foundation is not enough. After sending people to investigate, Guo Rong found many doubts, and there may be a bigger existence behind it.
So for the first time in Li Jixun's case, Guo Rong did not alert the enemy, but showed his attitude in time during the battles between the towns. As long as he is in office for a day, he will never allow anyone to change his mind.
Even though Guo Rong was so diligent, it was only when he was dying that he discovered why he had never been able to find evidence. Because although the other party had a plan, he never showed it to anyone. He showed no signs of wanting to rebel. Guo Rong finally knew that he had met the most powerful opponent in his life.
But he knew that he had no chance, but in order to comfort Zhang Yongde and prevent future civil strife in Zhou State, he made a surprising decision. Of course, this decision was unknown to outsiders, but he instructed Chen Shouyuan to visit Zhang Yongde in person.
No matter whether the descendants of the Guo family can keep their legacy in the future, Guo Rong knows that he must punish Jiuyang to warn Li Jixun and the people behind him, even the black hand hiding in the dark.
Even though he decided to personally conquer the Liao Kingdom at the beginning of the year, Guo Rong still took the time to personally give secret orders and plan the change mechanism before his death.
Because he knew better that the existence of the Nine Sun Sect as the largest sect in the Central Plains could not be shaken by ordinary soldiers and generals. That's why before he died, Fu Zhaozhi, who was transferred from the Fu family to serve in the imperial army, came here to perform his mission.
Fu Zhaozhi was not only his brother-in-law, but also the direct descendant of King Qin of the Fu family. Even King Fu Yanqing of Wei regarded him as his own son. Of course, there is another more important point. The Palace Chief has just changed his command. If he wants to prevent any thoughtful people from making any changes, all he needs to do is dispatch the imperial army.
Sure enough, after giving the order to Wei Wang Fu Yanqing in the feudal town, he said that he wanted to eradicate the Nine Yang Sect. Although Wei Wang Fu Yanqing did not express his position clearly, he supported his attack on the Nine Yang Sect. But in order to protect his nephew, just like he protected Fu Zhaoju in Zhaozhou, he also mobilized five hundred warriors from Guanhoudu of Yajun to protect him.
If Guo Rongquan knew anything, he would definitely believe that Fu Yanqing's move was obviously to protect his nephew Fu Zhaozhi, but in fact it was to show his loyalty to the emperor and approve of all his actions. Because Zhaozhou sent a thousand people, but as the capital of Tokyo, he could only send 500 elites.
Guo Rong happily accepted Fu Yanqing's kindness. He didn't really care whether it was five hundred or one thousand. What he wanted was Fu Yanqing's attitude towards him. Before Guo Rong died, five hundred tooth soldiers from Guanhoudu entered the capital and successfully entered the imperial army to take charge.
It is not uncommon in the history of ancient dynasties for foreign vassals to send troops to Beijing to defend themselves. The ambitious Guo Rong naturally felt that he was in control, and even gave Fu Zhaozhi, the commander of the Long Jie Army, special privileges to command this small force, expecting Fu Zhaozhi to completely wipe out the Jiuyang Sect.
But Guo Rong passed away before he could see her.
Huo!
Nearly two thousand horizontal knives were unsheathed!
Under the not too strong sunlight, it dazzled the eyes of people around. The bright horizontal knife looked like a sharp tool for cutting iron.
Near the Wind and Rain Bridge, two thousand fully armed men stood in powerful columns. Although the five hundred Guanhou Dou Jingqi have been disrupted, they are all in this team. Most of them are guarding in front, and the finished Zigzag formation is aimed at the gate of Jiuyang Sect.
As long as the commander Fu Zhaozhi gives an order, he should be able to rush into the Jiuyang Sect immediately and uproot the Jiuyang Sect that has occupied the capital for a long time.
As a cultivation sect, although there are a large number of villas and temples, as well as countless cultivation disciples, it does not have tall courtyard walls or solid gates. Facing this team, if there is a conflict, the one who will be tortured will definitely be the Nine Sun Sect's disciples.
