At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Jin put down a memorandum to impeach Zhang Fei for bullying newcomers in the army, and shook her head mockingly.

"There is no nature is a good thing, it proves that everyone is very smart, but if a court is full of smart people, but there are few stupid people, think about it, it feels a bit desolate."

Guo Jin looked at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Zhang Yide has been on the battlefield for 30 years, and he has made countless contributions to Wei. Now, when he makes a mistake, it turns out that all of them are people who have made trouble. There is not even a single person who is willing to speak for him. Bo Yan, if it were me, I guess it would be very difficult. It's hard, it's hard."

Guo Jin sighed and wanted to say something, but Zhang De suddenly came in from outside and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Xie Hou Guan Yu asked to see His Majesty, and he said that he wanted to defend Zhuo Hou Zhang Fei."

Guo Jin's words stopped in her throat before she could say them.

He stared at Lu Yi blankly, and Lu Yi also looked at him blankly.

"Hahahahahaha, hahahahaha! Well, well, I thought that all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were smart people who were wise and safe. I never thought that there would be such a stupid person, hahahaha! Xuan! See you, Guan Yu!"

"According to the order."

Zhang De ran out.

Guo Jin clapped his hands and laughed.

"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect that there are such stupid people, and there are so many people who fall into trouble. Doesn't he help Zhang Fei to take the blame for his crimes at this time? Guan Yu should not be such a mindless person, Bo Yan ,Do you agree?"

Lu Yi nodded.

"Guan Yunchang has been with the Supreme Emperor for 30 years. He is one of the first group of Yuan Cong veterans. Although he has never been engaged in government affairs, he is definitely not a stupid person. Obviously, he and Zhang Yide have been able to do this for 30 years. friendship."

Guo Jin nodded.

"I heard people say that Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide were subordinates of a Han family clan named Liu Xuande earlier, not the Supreme Emperor's subordinates at the beginning. They fought with Liu Xuande on the battlefield and made contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Later, because Liu Xuande and the Taishanghuang were both disciples of the former Han Taiwei Lu Gong, they went to join the Taishanghuang. Later, Liu Xuande was ordered by the Taishanghuang to lead troops to follow the former Han warlord Gongsun Zan to participate in the pacification of Han Sui and Beibo in Liangzhou. Gongyu Rebellion.

As a result, during the journey, Gongsun Zan brutally treated the Karasuma people at that time, triggering a rebellion among the Karasuma people. In the chaotic battle, Liu Xuande was killed in battle. Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide escaped by chance and went back to the Supreme Emperor, where they have since become the Supreme Emperor's subordinates.

Calculated in this way, the acquaintance between them was earlier than following the Supreme Emperor to fight. It should be more than 30 years of friendship. This friendship can be regarded as very deep in the entire court. name. "

"Then how does His Majesty plan to respond?"

"How to deal with it? What is there to say? Zhang Fei must be severely punished, but Guan Yu has no faults, so he cannot be punished. Instead, he needs to be comforted and rewarded. Only in this way can we better comfort the hearts of veteran officials and generals, hehehe."

Guo Jin looked at Lu Yi with a smile.

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Isn't this push and pull just playing with the hearts of veteran ministers and generals in the applause?

If it is only severe punishment, it is true that authority will be established, and although Zhao Yun will share the pressure, it is difficult to ensure that veteran officials will not be worried and chilled by it.

The emperor is strict, even a veteran with meritorious service will not let it go, Zhao Yun succeeded in a wave, this time it was Zhang Fei, next time, who will be the target of being attacked?

If Zhao Yun's desire for power is rampant, and he and Guo Jin, who are half-ladies, sing double reeds, reject dissidents together, and kill all those who disobey Zhao Yun in the army, so as to centralize power, what can they do?

Moreover, Zhao Yun has never formed a party or set up a mountain top, and this wave suddenly wants to form a small group. In this way, the entire ecology of the Wei army will undergo huge changes, and many people will lose their status because of this.

In this way, a major crisis of trust in the army will inevitably erupt, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the Wei army and the development of the Wei army.

What's more, having been in the army for many years, the Wei army is by no means monolithic. No one has any disputes or faults with each other, and who doesn't have one or two enemies or enemies?

If it's just blowing and not comforting, it will cause such problems.

Rewarding and comforting Guan Yu can dispel the worries of veteran officials and generals.

This is tantamount to telling veteran ministers and generals that this wave is about discussing the facts as they stand, without purges or expansion, and will not involve political issues from military issues, and a round of political actions in the style of "one dynasty, one courtier".

Tell them that I, Guo Jin, am not a mean and ungrateful king. I admire loyal people, I appreciate loyal and brave veterans, and I appreciate Guan Yu, who is willing to say a good word for his colleagues and has kind thoughts.

This will allow Guo Jin not only to gain authority, but also to gain the hearts of veterans and veterans. In the army and among the veterans, Guo Jin will truly have his own prestige, not the prestige that Guo Peng created for him. Popularity].

Especially for Guan Yu, this prestige is even more obvious.

Chapter 1481 One Thousand 390 A Flying Piece Itself Is Just an Insignificant Piece

Lu Yi knew very well that the prestige and status accumulated by Guan Yu over the years was definitely not something that a commander of the garrison could bear.

Although his position is not high, but as one of the first veterans who followed Guo Peng to fight, his status in the Wei army is really high.

Moreover, in the current situation, Guan Yu's attributes have already surpassed his personal attributes, and he has become the representative of the old people in the army outside the Zhao Yun Group. What happens to Guan Yu will greatly affect the old people in the army's attitude towards the new emperor. the opinion of.

And also about their own perception of the situation and the future.

So this wave of comforting Guan Yu is tantamount to appeasing the senior generals and influential seniors in the army, which greatly boosted Guo Jin's reputation and sense of presence in the army.

Tell all the old men in the army, I am not a person who can cross rivers and destroy bridges, so you can rest assured, look, isn't Guan Yu's situation very good?

Severely punish Zhang Fei, appease Guan Yu, push and pull, the hearts of the army and the court are fully under His Majesty's control.

After figuring this out, Lu Yi felt that His Majesty's way of manipulating people's hearts is no worse than that of the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor always asked him to warn His Majesty that people's hearts are unpredictable and there are mostly smart people in the world.

But the smarter people are, the more fearful they are when facing the emperor, because they know better that the emperor's power can kill them.

Under the suppression of fear, it's hard to say how much of their original intelligence can be used.

Today's Majesty has extraordinary wisdom and coupled with his status as the real emperor, how many smart people can use their full firepower in front of such Majesty, compete with him for power and gain, and then gain the upper hand?

In this wave of confrontation, aren't they unable to lift their heads under the pressure of the mighty monarch?

Your Majesty, you underestimated your heir.

Lu Yi sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Hahahahahaha."

Guo Jin laughed happily, and asked Lu Yi to go out to avoid it.

After a while, Guan Yu came.

"Veteran Guan Yu, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Guan Yu knelt on the ground and saluted Guo Jin. Guo Jin stood up and helped Guan Yu himself.

"Please hurry up, old general. The old general is over fifty and old, so there is no need to be so polite. Zhang De, give the old general a seat and serve tea."

"According to the order."

Zhang De immediately arranged a soft seat and tea for Guan Yu. Guan Yu thanked Guo Jin. Guo Jin wanted to help Guan Yu to sit down again.

"The old general has fought for Wei Wei for 30 years. He has worked hard and made great achievements. He deserves Gu's respect. If Gu doesn't respect the old general, the Supreme Emperor will probably feel angry. I can't spare Gu, hahahaha."

When Guan Yu heard the words, he felt a little emotional in his heart, and his originally uneasy heart also eased a little.

"Your Majesty can treat the old minister like this, and the old minister is deeply moved. Your Majesty, the old minister is here, and I really have a heartfelt request."

"Gu already knows the reason for the old general's visit."

Guo Jin turned around and walked to the table, picked up Zhao Yun's play and handed it to Guan Yu.

"It's for this, isn't it?"

Guan Yu took the performance with both hands, opened it, and saw what was written on it, as well as the name of the person who signed it, and sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, Yide... General Zhang really made a mistake. The veteran knows that General Zhang disobeyed the command and rushed forward rashly, putting himself and the five thousand pioneers in a dangerous situation. If it is not severely punished, it is really... impossible to explain."

Guo Jin nodded slowly, with a worried face.

"The old general also knows this, so I feel relieved, but in fact it's more than that. The old general, it's not that I grew up in the army, and I only have a little understanding of military regulations and laws. I didn't know this at the beginning, and I couldn't Learn more about it.

As soon as Gu heard about the great victory of the Western Expedition, he was overjoyed, so he decided to give General Zhang a generous reward. As a result, early this morning, the general showed up to Gu, and Gu was stunned when he saw it. Going deep into the enemy's territory violated the taboo of military strategists.

During the entire battle, the general couldn't contact him, and all the tactical plans before the battle failed and could not be implemented. The reason why he won was because our army was too strong and Kang Ju was too weak to fight against our army's front. "

Guo Jin went to the seat and sat down slowly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Kangju is just a small country, of course it can't fight against our army of Wei, so General Zhang has made meritorious service and won the battle. directly contributed to the victory of this battle.

But this is an extremely dangerous victory. If our army is not facing Kangju, but a formidable enemy like Xianbei, can General Zhang lead a [-] vanguard army to achieve such a hearty victory?General, what do you think? "

Guo Jin looked at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was silent for a moment.

"Of course it's impossible."

"The old general also knows that he can't."

Guo Jin shook her head: "This time, General Zhang's incident not only slapped Gu's face, making Gu's face hard to survive, but also made the Western Expedition army extremely dissatisfied with him, and the staff who planned the tactics were very dissatisfied with him. Also very dissatisfied.

Old general, look, on this table alone, there are all impeachments of General Zhang, the generals of the Western Expedition Army, the staff officers of the staff desk, the officials of the Ministry of War, and the generals of the Guard Army. That's all there is to it. "

Guan Yu looked at the performances piled up on Guo Jin's desk and was secretly startled.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"General Zhang committed public anger, and we all know that it is difficult to commit public anger. Even if he is alone, he would not dare to commit public anger."

Guo Jin was full of embarrassment: "And to be honest, the old general, if he is not alone, he is the emperor. Among the people who participated in the performance of General Zhang, he must be counted as alone. General Zhang has done too much."

Guan Yu lowered his head, feeling that he could not absolve Zhang Fei of the crime no matter what.

Moreover, the power to punish Zhang Fei is too strong, and Zhang Fei had offended too many people before. Once Zhao Yun took the lead, all ghosts and snakes jumped out to chase Zhang Fei hard. The posture of not giving up.

This force is so powerful that Guan Yu can't compete with it alone.

Guan Yu let out a long sigh.

"I hope that Your Majesty will consider Zhang Yide's 30 years of fighting for Wei, be loyal, and give him a light sentence."

Guo Jin nodded slowly.

"Punishment is inevitable, not punishing is not enough to convince the public, but as the old general said, General Zhang has fought for Wei for 30 years and is loyal, and Gu also knows it. Therefore, General Zhang's crimes, Gu will do his best to punish him lightly. .”

Guan Yu heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed to Guo Jin: "Your Majesty has such a kind heart, this old minister is deeply grateful, and this old minister thanked His Majesty on behalf of General Zhang."

Guo Jin shook his head.

"Why does the old general need to be so polite? Gu is actually very happy that the old general can stand up and speak for General Zhang. Although General Zhang made mistakes, he was loyal. Once he made a mistake, there were so many people who fell into trouble. , will also feel sad.

After fighting for Wei Wei for 30 years, he ended up like this. If you think about it, if Gu is like this, Gu will also feel extremely painful. The old general can stand up and speak for General Zhang. Among them, there are still people who value love and righteousness. "

Guo Jin stepped forward and took Guan Yu's hand: "General Zhang has a friend like the old general, how lucky is he to have a general like the old general alone?"

"His Majesty……"

Guan Yu's eyes were red, and he choked up and said: "Old minister...Old minister, thank you for your kindness!"

Guan Yu wept bitterly, feeling very painful for Guo Jin's benevolence and the hardships of the world.

Zhang Fei fought for the country for so many years, but in the end, he was treated like this by those people, and everyone pushed him against the wall. Those people who fell into trouble were even more hateful than Zhao Yun who took the lead to show up!

On weekdays, I hide and don't talk about it, I don't know how to hate them in my heart, each of them hides a knife in their smiles, they seem to be in harmony with them, their stomachs are full of bad water, and they don't know what bad ideas they want to talk about when they open their mouths.

Bunch of assholes!

Guan Yu already hated that group of people.

Of course, he also had a strong dissatisfaction with Zhao Yun.

30 years of relationship, once lost!

Zhao Zilong, I didn't expect you to be such a person! 30 years of friendship is like nothing!

That being the case, you and I will be strangers from now on!

Guan Yu hated it in his heart.

Afterwards, Guan Yu expressed his gratitude to Guo Jin and then resigned.

After seeing off Guan Yu, Guo Jin called Lu Yi back.

"So, I've done everything I need to do. The next step is to announce Zhang Fei's punishment. Boyan, is Zhang Fei awake?"

"Wake up, just now a spy came to report that besides Guan Yu went to Zhang Fei's residence to wake Zhang Fei up, Cao Chun also sent someone to Zhang Fei's residence to inquire about the situation."

After hearing Lu Yi's words, Guo Jin was a little surprised.

"Ziheshu... Oh, by the way, he is the deputy vanguard, Zhang Fei's deputy general, and he was rewarded with him. No wonder Zhang Fei suffered. If he doesn't say anything, he really won't even think about being in the army in the future." wait."
