Chapter 542 The Emperor's Heart
"Father-in-law, things are almost over. I finally took Ning An back to her mother's house, and you should chat with her, Xin'er misses you very much too." Zong Dao said, "Then... I won't hug your daughter today Go to bed, anyway, I still have two wives."

Guo Wei nodded, this sounded a bit awkward... Only Zong Xin dared to speak like this in front of him.Of course, Guo Wei was also born in Shijing, he likes people talking to him like this, it is too respectful and feels distant.

Guo Wei left the imperial study with Zong Xin, and the two went directly to Chaoyang Palace.This is the palace of Queen Yang Shu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw a lot of officials serving the third prince Guo Xin. It happened to be dinner time, and Guo Xin also hoped to enjoy the feeling of being served by others occasionally. The prince on Wednesday was abused all day long, and Guo Xin also felt a little awkward.

Seeing Guo Wei coming, everyone stood up and knelt down, and everyone except the immediate family members had to kneel and salute.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Guo Wei waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, excuse me, just in time for dinner, add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and bring a few jars of wine over here."

The first thing Zong Xin saw was Chai Rong. Of course Chai Rong was happy to see his younger brother and sister come back, and he rushed to Chaoyang Palace immediately.Of course Zong Xin was worried about his apprentice's safety. If Chai Rong killed another younger brother, he might never forgive him in this life.

Zong Xin walked slowly to the apprentice, and then asked in a low voice, "Your brother isn't crazy, is he?"

"No, brother is normal." Guo Dao said, "I don't know why, but there is no murderous look on him at all. Personally, I think it should be because of the wig. Brother must see a bald head to go crazy."

"Wiges are okay too? Makes sense." Zong Xin knew that the real reason why Chai Rong would go crazy was because Murong Yanchao's bald head was deeply burned in his heart. Even if he was bald, as long as he wore a wig, he would not arouse Chai Rong's murderous thoughts. .

Guo Wei said: "Sit down, sit down, a family does not need to be bound by the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. Serve the wine quickly, and get some peanuts. I want to have a good drink with Fu Ma."

Everyone admired him. This should be the most friendly emperor in the world. Guo Wei has only been emperor for a few months.Although he doesn't look like an emperor, but the more he is like this, the more he looks like a benevolent emperor.

There is no other emperor in the world who really thinks that peanuts are the best dish to drink... except Guo Wei.

The family had a meal with He Meimei. During the dinner, everyone talked about how life is like recently and some things they have encountered.The experience of Zong Xin and his party made Guo Wei envious. If he was younger, he would also want to venture into the rivers and lakes. That is a man's real dream.

If you have money, martial arts, and live an unrestrained life, you don't have to worry about world affairs at all.Guo Wei also lived such a life in the past, but his experience was not as exciting as Zong Xin's. However, he had no regrets in this life. Seeing the young man so crazy, Guo Wei could only envy him.

Now Guo Wei can't do it anymore. There are so many things in the whole Dazhou. Guo Wei is worried that any common people will live a bad life. In order to make the people of Dazhou live a good life, he has worked hard. No matter how good his martial arts are, he is still a human being. He vomits and hurts when he is beaten, because he is a straightforward person like Guo Wei, who often works hard, which has a great impact on his body.

Zong Xin and his party lived in the palace for five full days. During these five days, Guo Wei usually went to Concubine De's place in the evening except to reunite with his family. Zong Xin probably guessed that Guo Wei used ginseng seeds in that place.

Although Guo Wei became the emperor, his life was actually normal. Besides Yang Shu, there was only one noble concubine named Dong.This woman came at a strange time. She met Guo Wei when he was besieging Tongguan, and they slept together soon. After Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor, she naturally became a noble concubine.Concubine Dong De is young and beautiful, of course Guo Wei prefers to be with her, but Yang Shu is the one he likes the most in his heart.

Zong Xin still had things to do, and Guo Wei didn't ask him to stay.Although he hoped that Guo Xin would be by his side, he knew that his son was now Zong Xin's apprentice. Although he had survived the calamity of being 10 years old, he didn't have to worry about his life now, but he needed to worry about other things. Xin stays with Zong Xin.

Guo Wei was worried about only one thing, because he had long planned to pass the throne to his adopted son Chai Rong after his death.This was already expected by Zong Xin, the two had talked about it.

In fact, Guo Wei knew that his son Guo Xin was better than Chai Rong.But it is one thing to be excellent, and another to be able to govern the country well. Chai Rong has been with him all the year round and is very proficient in the business of governing the world. If Chai Rong takes over, he will be able to govern the world properly. Guo Xin is not the case.

If Zong Xin wanted to stay with Guo Xin all the time, he could consider it.Zong Xin's ability is far superior to that of Chai Rong and Guo Xin, and he has a perverse personality. Even if Guo Xin becomes the emperor, he can beat and scold whenever he wants, and only children can control him.If Guo Xin were to be the emperor directly, his mind was immature, and being a young emperor would definitely ruin the lives of the people.

It's a pity that Zong Xin's character will never stay by his son's side obediently. If Zong Xin wants to leave, then Guo Xin will not be a good emperor.In order not to make Guo Xin uncomfortable, it is more appropriate to hand over the country to his adopted son Chai Rong first.

Guo Wei has no selfishness at all, and only hopes that the people of the world can live a good life, so he would rather hand over the throne to Chai Rong, who has no blood relationship, than to his immature son.

In fact, Guo Wei also has a nephew named Li Chongjin, who is also related to Guo Wei by blood, but this person is also difficult to entrust the world.What's more... Guo Wei can't guarantee whether Li Chongjin will hand over the throne to Guo Xin after Guo Xin matures.

Guo Wei still has great confidence in Chai Rong. After all, Zong Xin said that he is also short-lived, but not too short.After Chai Rong's death, with Chai Rong's personality, he will definitely hand over the throne to Guo Xin. At that time, Guo Xin has matured and learned the skills of Zong Xin. If Guo Xin rules the world, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.So at this time, let Guo Xin study hard with his master, and he and Chai Rong can handle other things.

After sending away his son and daughter, Guo Wei was still sad for a while.In order to adjust my mood, I went to Concubine Dong's again...

Zong Xin drove all the way south to Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou has been divided into two. Zongxin's sister and brother-in-law led troops to guard half of Xuzhou's territory, and Murong Yanchao led troops to guard the other half. Neither side dared to confront each other. attack.With Murong Yanchao's military strength, he is not afraid of his brother-in-law Fan Zhi's military strength at all, but what Murong Yanchao is afraid of is offending Lei Hong.

Fan Zhi has about 2000 troops, while Murong Yanchao has [-] troops.If there is a real fight, Fan Zhi's soldiers are not enough to stand on horseback, but the person standing behind Fan Zhi is Lei Hong, and Lei Fang is pregnant. Now, not to mention the small Xuzhou, even Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to retreat.

Now the situation is even more troublesome, Lei Fang gave birth to a son, Lei Hong loves like the apple of his eye, and stays in Xuzhou for a month.Murong Yanchao didn't dare to go out, for fear that Lei Hong would suddenly kill him one day when he was in a bad mood, who could stop him?Fortunately, Lei Hong had no position, and he did not lead troops when he arrived in Xuzhou, otherwise Murong Yanchao would have fled to Datang and surrendered to Li Jing.

People like Lei Hong who hold heavy soldiers but have no position are the most terrifying and can't afford to offend.So Murong Yanchao decided a long time ago that even if they really fight, they must be very careful, so as not to hurt Lei Fang and the children.As for Fan Zhi, even if he killed him, with Lei Hong's character, he would never care.

Having said that, if possible, it is best to capture the three of them alive and treat them well, so that Lei Hong will feel comfortable seeing them, and instead of blaming himself, he will even give some ransom.

Although Lei Hong has a violent temper, he is not a person who does not know what is good or bad.Fan Zhi deserved to be defeated by the army, and it is reasonable for Lei Fang to follow her husband even if he was killed by the enemy.If the enemy didn't kill them, it would be for Lei Hong's face. If he had enough face, Lei Hong would never be angry, but would buy his family back in the most legitimate way.

For Murong Yanchao, now is not the time.Datang's reinforcements have not yet arrived, and sending troops easily will only attract Guo Wei's full blow.Without Datang's help, how could the little Xuzhou support so many soldiers?Murong Yanchao knew that he had to send troops as soon as possible, but at the same time he had to look at Datang's attitude.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Zong Xin went directly to the town where Fan Zhi was.Fan Zhi has been driven out of Xuzhou City. There is a well-defended town on the edge of the city, where Fan Zhi stationed troops.There was a city wall in this town, but it was incomplete. Fan Zhi also relied on the support of Prince Lei's Mansion and completely ignored Murong Yanchao's possible attack. He directly built fortifications here and built the incomplete wall. Murong Yanchao Watching the city wall being built, I dared not attack.

The town's defense is actually mediocre. Everyone knows that Lei Hong has lived here for more than a month, and Murong Yanchao will never dare to attack unless he finds Li Jing's reinforcements.But after all, this is related to the lives of the people in the town and their own lives, and the soldiers are quite responsible.

Zong Xin drove the carriage directly to the Fan Mansion where Fan Zhi was waiting for a while, and asked someone to report.Fan Zhi immediately came to greet him with Lei Fang. The couple had been worried after hearing that Zong Xin's accident happened, but they also received news that Zong Xin was safe. Zong Xin came to visit him in person today. There must be something important.

"My little brother is here, let my sister take a good look." Lei Fang was the most excited, and ran over with her son in her arms, because he was her half-brother.And... he is far superior to her husband and several brothers in terms of talent and martial arts, of course Lei Fang likes him the most.
