856 All the mouths of gold, accumulating and destroying bones
Realizing that the crisis was everywhere, Guo Chongtao found himself in a dilemma. Just because the court transferred Ren Yuan and Fu Xi, he refused to do so and simply went back to Taiyuan... Even if he had a little disagreement with his monarch Li Cunxu, he would not have broken up in one fell swoop, but Guo Chongtao knew that he would not be able to accept the orders. In the eyes of the world, he really did not take the Emperor of Later Tang seriously.
What medicine does the gourd sell when you are treacherous villain?
Guo Chongtao hated this feeling of being unsure and not sure about the next progress. He also thought that he should contact Li Siyuan and Li Cunxian, the generals who were in charge of the military, could send troops to take care of him. After all, although the Privy Council was in charge of military affairs, there were only a thousand personal soldiers who followed Guo Chongtao to Zhenzhou... After all, he was mainly responsible for planning strategies, not like other founding generals of the Later Tang Dynasty, and he had direct military brigades for dispatch.
After all, no matter what the situation is, you can still control an army that can completely obey your own orders, so that you can feel at ease.
But Guo Chongtao thought that because Li Siyuan, Li Cunxian and others were adopted sons of the late emperor. He also began to worry that these abbots would threaten his status, so he secretly obstructed the power of the Privy Council, trying to avoid contact with the emperor Li Cunxu as much as possible. Therefore, he is already a little unhappy with some old ministers...
It was like taking the official history line that Guo Chongtao wanted to use his power, and he would have been the chief general of the Jin army, pressing Fu Cunshen tightly on the border of the north, and he would not have the chance to get close to the emperor again, until the other party was depressed, his old illness recurred, and he would never come to the palace to meet again until he died regretfully.
At the moment, I can only grop for caution... Guo Chongtao told Guo Tinghui to be cautious, and he was still busy inspecting everywhere, rectifying the city and border defense affairs of the military camp. Although his heart was shrouded in an ominous premonition, Guo Chongtao still believed in one thing:
Even if a little girl wants to slander me, even if Your Majesty is a little confused and mistrusts those traitors... But I, Guo Chongtao, have used the country so much, and he knows better! He can't avoid the emperor after all, let alone what I have committed to, and who dares to touch me!
However, after about half a month, another bad thing came to Guo Chongtao. Chengde Army Ya came to report to the future, and reported that the court sent eunuch Xiang Yansi to inspect whether he was welcomed.
"When is it now? I still think that the Tang court sent eunuchs as military supervisors of the vassal states and inspected many troops? I was the Privy Councilor. Xiang Yansi was just an eunuch, but he wanted to welcome him? A joke! I just left Xiang Yansi to inspect where he wanted to go, so he could see it himself. If it was hindered and misleading military affairs, I would punish him!"
When Guo Chongtao heard the name of Xiang Yansi, he felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly. He looked down on the Emperor and the group of eunuchs who were flattering around the queen, and the person he came to look down on the most. He was nervous these days, and he heard that a mere eunuch came to inspect how his border defense was progressing, and he was like the supervisor behind the supervisor... Guo Chongtao was not angry at all, and still didn't take Xiang Yansi seriously.
In a pavilion three miles outside the north gate of Zhending City, a group of followers were hung on the spot, waiting for an hour... The eunuch Xiang Yansi sat on the stone chair in the middle, sucking tea bites at a time. His white skin was loose, and his appearance was demonic.
It is probably confirmed that Guo Chongtao is indeed arrogant and rude to the eunuch group... Xiang Yansi was not angry, but instead laughed sinisterly and said with a grim voice:
"Guo Chongtao, you guy is really crazy... You must leave this motionless thing, but when I return to Taiyuan, I didn't know that one of your feet had already stepped into the gate of hell..."
Xiang Yansi, the eunuch who took the lead in accusing Guo Chongtao of having evil intentions and prompted other accomplices to attack and cause harm, seemed to be ignorant and entered Zhending City. However, there was still no intersection between him and Guo Chongtao. The two of them were each in their own way, which made Xiang Yansi very neglected.
Ten days later, Xiang Yansi left Zhenzhou in shame. However, when he returned to Taiyuan Palace, he looked sad and anxious, saying that there were 100,000 urgent matters to be reported to Your Majesty... In the palace, Li Cunxu's shouting sounded quickly:
"All nonsense! Guo Chongtao was very resentful, so he secretly sent someone to interact with the Southern Dynasty and deliberately rebel. He made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty and was my confidant. How could he join the Southern Dynasty? Xiang Yansi, what was your intention to frame the important officials in the court??"
Li Cunxu was furious and could not stop him. Suddenly, the sword was pulled out, and the sword was sharp and shining. He stared at him and fell on the ground and cried with grief. It seemed that if the other party could not give him a satisfactory reply, Li Cunxu would wield the sword and slash it, and he would cut it into two pieces!
After all, Li Cunxu is not yet extremely stupid. So he reported to Yansi that he found that Guo Chongtao and Wei Chao were secretly engaged and intending to rebel, and his first reaction was still not to believe it.
Another person beside him knelt down on the ground. Li Cunxu glared at him and saw another eunuch, Ma Yangui, lying on the ground, defending Xiang Yansi's sorrow:
"I am loyal to Your Majesty and falsely accusing the court officials. What's the point of this? Xiang Changshi knew that Your Majesty had always valued Zhumi Guo, but he was still in a hurry to behead him and warned him. There must be hidden information in this, and I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly!"
"Okay! Even you, a captive slave..."
Li Cunxu's eyes were full of fierceness, and his sword was sharp, and he turned to Ma Yangui. But before he could finish his words, he saw that Li Congxi had fallen on the ground with his knees on the side of the side, and immediately said loudly:
"It's okay for me to die, but even if it happens, if Guo Shumi really intends to rebel and try to quell the chaos, it's probably too late!"
The eunuchs who were usually favored jumped out one after another, and strongly advised Guo Chongtao that he was indeed likely to betrayed... Li Cunxu widened his eyes and looked around, not knowing which one he wanted to kill first? His chest was fluctuating violently, and it was quite a bit like drawing his sword and looking around at the heart.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Shaohong, who was the most favored by Li Cunxu among the eunuchs, walked forward and said with a quick remark:
"Your Majesty, although Guo Shumi was a founding minister of our dynasty, he thought he was highly motivated and more domineering in his actions these days, and all the ministers in the dynasty saw it... And he did his own way before, but he had already made His Majesty unhappy? From this, it can be seen that Guo Shumi was proud of his achievements and had already looked down on the emperor's majesty...
His Majesty was just deliberately trying to beat him up, so he transferred Guo Shumi to leave the capital temporarily and inspected the border to prepare matters, so he had to be able to tell the point. However, Guo Shumi claimed to be of great merit, but was transferred by His Majesty from the capital and was unable to take over the government and power, so he would inevitably feel resentful.
If Guo Shumi thought he was suppressed by His Majesty, he felt resentful, after all, the Southern Dynasty is still more powerful than ours, and because of the advantage of the local area, even if he would not rebel, he would inevitably plan to go to Tang Muwei and watch the current situation, and then secretly interact with the Southern Dynasty... Isn't this possible?"
Yes... Although Guo Chongtao is my confidant, he is not as restrained and calm as before. Moreover, as his status in the court is higher, sometimes he will not bother me if I don't like it... If I say that he secretly communicates with the Southern Dynasties, I don't want to believe it, but this possibility cannot be said to be without...
If only one person jumped out and said that Guo Chongtao was going to rebel, Li Cunxu would definitely not believe it. But the same slander rumors were spoken by the eunuchs whom he had originally favored... Li Cunxu's eyebrows were still full of anger, but his expression became more and more complicated, and his mind was already a little shaken, and the sword in his hand that he was trying to cut slowly...
