Before the camp was set up, they broke out again. Regardless of the darkness, the army turned around and returned to Beijing, surrounded by the new emperor they had just proclaimed.

There were a lot of dramas about the new emperor. He was so sad that he passed out because he was unwilling to betray his old master. However, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, he was too happy. They all said that they would have supported him if they had known that the Taiwei was so happy. This shows that Director Guo finally ended up

This extra bit of drama is superfluous.

Seventy or eighty thousand soldiers held torches and rushed back, covered with stars and moons, forming a long fire dragon on the official road. Xu Xian ate dry food as he walked, took two sips of the water bag, and gave it back to Zhao Kuangyin, saying softly

He said: "I heard it. It was you who shouted that voice. Did the Taiwei arrange for you to do this?"

Zhao Kuangyin chuckled and said, "That's not true. The Taiwei has already given instructions to you. How can he give instructions to one more person for nothing? You are really brave and you are not afraid of death."

Xu Xian said in confusion: "I just said a few words, how can there be such a big risk?"

"Haha... I thought you were quite clever, and you didn't know it after being shut up and gone. Many lieutenants, generals, and soldiers in the army want to support the crown prince. Do you know why no one comes forward?"

"Tell me and listen."

"Although the Taiwei was easy-going and close to the soldiers, he also cursed people with profanity. But he was extremely respectful to the royal family. Even when his whole family was executed, he never said anything wrong about the emperor.

If the Taiwei doesn't allow it, Liu will definitely kill the person who took the initiative when he ascends the throne. You are the Taiwei's instigator and you naturally know what the Taiwei is thinking, so you don't have to worry about this.

But have you ever thought about what the Lieutenant would do to you if your fire had not been ignited?"

Hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, Xu Xian felt a cold wind penetrate his neck and couldn't help but shiver all over. He suddenly felt that the human heart was so terrible. No wonder Guo Wei agreed to let him start this fire.

Zhao Kuangyi patted Xu Xian on the back with his big hand, "Don't worry now. Now that the big thing has been accomplished, you are also a small hero. Maybe the Taiwei will officially ascend the throne and you will be rewarded with an official position."

"

"No, no, I won't get involved in this matter unless I have to. Forget being an official, I'd better go back and do business." Xu Xian touched the cold sweat on his forehead. This world is so dangerous. He has almost died since time travel.

I thought a few times that nothing good would happen if I got involved with the government.

"Actually, this matter was not so troublesome in the first place. The Lieutenant only revealed it a little bit to the generals he was close to. The big thing was done in Bianliang. Why go all the way to Chanzhou?"

Xu Xian looked at him and replied: "I can answer you this, because the Taiwei cares more about the support of ordinary soldiers, so that the throne can be more secure."

They had walked ten days before, but when the army turned back, they had finished the journey in less than three days. The city of Bianliang had already received the news, and hundreds of civil and military officials came out to greet Guo Wei.

He was sent to the palace.

Xu Xian didn't know what happened next. He was kicked out of the army. Guo Wei didn't return the treasure to him, which made him very angry. But Xu Xian couldn't do anything. Who said he was the emperor now?

Well, he could only go home and listen to the news with his ears open.

On the next day, an edict was issued in the palace in the name of the Queen Mother, deposing Liu Yun, the military governor of Wuning, as the successor to the throne, conferring a title to the third division of Yitong in Kaifu, and inspecting the Grand Master of Shangzhu State and the Duke of Xiangyin.

On the third day, the fifth day of the first lunar month, Guo Wei officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chongyuan Hall. Guo Wei claimed to be a descendant of Uncle Guo of the Zhou Dynasty, so he changed the country's name to Zhou and the reign name Guangshun.

As for the meritorious ministers under his command, Guo Wei also received the rewards that deserved them. Even the three kings of Shi Yang were not left behind. Each of them was granted a title of king and was buried generously.

What surprised Xu Xian was that Guo Wei did not kill anyone in revenge. Several of the ministers around Liu Chengyou were either dead or escaped, but their family members were still in the capital. Guo Wei did not kill any of them, and Liu Chengyou's mother remained the same. Recuperating in the palace with the title of Queen Mother.

In the end, Guo Wei just took Liu Zhu, who had tried to kill his whole family, into custody. With such a big heart, he seemed to be a completely different person, not at all the evil spirit who returned with hatred more than a month ago.

However, this does not seem to have much to do with the people of Bianliang. No one cares whether the emperor's surname is Guo or Liu. No matter who is the emperor, they have to work hard to find food. To them, this is just another dynasty that may collapse at any time.

But Xu Xian knew that although Guozhou was a short-lived dynasty, it was of great significance to the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. Although the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms ended in the Song Dynasty, the unification began in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The two emperors Guo Wei and Chai Rong worked hard and made indelible contributions to the stability and inheritance of the Zhao family. Guo Wei, who opened up the Later Zhou Dynasty, was a ray of light in the endless dark night.

Even if you, Guo Wei, are Shuguang, you still have to return my Ah Bao to me. Xu Xian counted on his fingers that Ah Bao’s rations should be all eaten up, so he steamed a bag of steamed buns overnight and cooked them in the oven early the next morning. Gong Alley is waiting.

The two soldiers came out of the alley, beating their waists. When they saw Xu Xian, they said, "Isn't this brother Xian? He came very early!"

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Fang, here again... it's so relaxing."

"No, tomorrow I will follow Wang Linggong to Tianxiong Army to take office. I don't know when I can come back. Take advantage of these two days to relax and relax. Remember not to tell your Aunt Liu, lest she nag me for spending money."

"Don't tell me at home!" Mr. Da Kui patted Xu Xian on the shoulder, "There are several new people coming to Mother Zhao's place. Hurry up and try something new."

"Uncle Fang, you misunderstood. I'm not here to visit the brothels."

"Young people are just thin-skinned. Don't worry, Lao Fang and I won't talk nonsense in Liuhewan. Let's go home and have breakfast!"

"I really didn't come here to visit the brothels..."

As soon as he turned his head, he felt someone pat his back. When he turned around, he saw Hong Baoer standing in front of him with a bag on his back and a smile, "It doesn't matter if you are just visiting the brothel, no one despises you. I'm going to a private school. Have fun."

Zhao Ningxiu, who was behind him, was carrying a vegetable basket. She gave Xu Xian a hard look and said contemptuously: "Shameless!" Then she pulled Hong Bao'er and left quickly.

"I really didn't come here to visit the brothel, I'm here waiting for Brother Zhao!" Xu Xian couldn't explain clearly.

"What are you waiting for me to do!" Zhao Kuangyin backed his horse and came out of the alley. "Should I help you beg the emperor for that stupid pig again? I think you should give up on this idea. The emperor just didn't bring it to court. Got it."

"Forget it, since the emperor likes it, let him stay in the palace. The conditions are always better than here. This is the last dry food I made for Ah Bao. There is also a booklet here with all the requirements for raising Ah Bao. Things to pay attention to, and some thoughts I have summarized.”

Zhao Kuangyin took the pamphlet and flipped through it, "You care more about a beast than raising a son. I will leave it to the emperor later. By the way, the emperor said that if you have other requests, you can make them."

"I don't seek an official position and I don't seek education. It would be best for the emperor to reward me with thousands of fortunes and live there until I die."

"Then you'd better give up on this thought. I'm afraid I won't be able to get even a thousand guans out of the official treasury." Zhao Kuangyin put the dry food on the horse's back and said, "Let's go!"

After coming out of Chongyuan Hall, Guo Wei couldn't help but touch the tall beams. Although it was already the tenth day since he proclaimed himself emperor, he still felt as if he was dreaming.

It's not that he never thought about becoming emperor, but he just thought about it. Before his family was executed, he never took any action to become emperor.

Unlike the three ministers who cared about life, King Shi Yang, he never hurt Liu Chengyou's face in the slightest, and he was very respectful to the Queen Mother. Although he held the privy military affairs, he never monopolized the power, and took great care of Nie Wenjin, the privy minister. That was the emperor Placed cronies.

However, he and King Shi Yang are political allies, and he cannot absolutely side with Liu Chengyou like Su Fengji. He has been trying to be a bridge between the two parties, just to make them more harmonious.

It's a pity that no one cared about his efforts. King Shi Yang tried his best to win over him, which made Liu Chengyou distrust him even more, and even wanted to drive him out of Bianliang even if he had a heavy army.

Even when Wang Yin sent Liu Chengyou an imperial edict to kill him, he never thought of rebelling because his family was still in Liu Chengyou's hands. He had been lonely since he was a child and valued his family very much. He just wanted to use Tianxiong's army to attack the court. Negotiate with Liu Chengyou.

Who would have thought that this idiot would actually kill all his family members and drive himself to the point of despair. He would grow old overnight. Except for the country and the throne, nothing could stop the pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to have breakfast." A middle-aged eunuch holding a whisk in his hand persuaded with a smile.

This was Li Tingfang, the great eunuch in the palace. He had served Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Chengyou and his son. Guo Wei had been familiar with him for a long time and felt that he was not bad so he stayed by his side to serve him.

Don't think that the name "Tingfang" is quite elegant. In fact, it is the same as "Zhaodi". His parents must have longed for a caring and lovely daughter. He was stabbed in the crotch and finally realized half of his parents' long-cherished wish.

"Okay! Let's have a meal!" Guo Wei waved his sleeves and walked towards the back pavilion with his hands behind his back, "But someone has brought Brother Yang here. So... I have been so busy these days that I have never had a meal with him. .I don’t have many relatives left, so you have to take good care of him.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry. This slave has already sent someone to carry the emperor's grandson. The emperor's grandson's food, clothing, and daily life are all taken care of by smart and smart people. If anything goes wrong, you can chop off my slave's head."

As he spoke, he had already entered the back cabinet. The palace maid was bringing the breakfast to the table like water. Guo Wei frowned and said to Li Tingfang: "I told you, I am not the Yin Emperor and don't have to be so extravagant. The official treasury It’s almost empty.”

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have already gone to the dining room and asked. I said that these ingredients have been prepared before. I am afraid they will go bad if they are stored for a long time. When these ingredients are used up, there will be fewer dishes."

"That's not necessary. From now on, just give me three to five items for every meal, and the rest will be sent to the Queen Mother. Don't be rude."

Guo Wei sat on the stool, and Ah Bao got out from under the table. Just as he was about to reach out to grab it, Ah Bao twisted around and climbed onto the stool next to him. He held the table with his paws and sat down like a human.

This was the first time he saw Abao like this. Guo Wei couldn't help laughing, and the eunuchs and maids were also enjoying themselves.

Li Tingfang covered her mouth and giggled, "The stupid pig your Majesty raises is smart!"

"There is a fart spirit that either eats or sleeps, but I don't know why I feel happy when I see it. I asked you to get the winter bamboo shoots for the silly pig, but you got them."

"Your Majesty ordered, how dare you neglect me!" Li Tingfang pointed to a large bowl on the table, "My servant has already left the most tender ones, and asked the royal chef to cook them with chicken soup and serve with honey. It is definitely better than before.

The steamed buns are a hundred times more delicious..."

Seeing Guo Wei's unkind expression, Li Tingfang quickly stopped talking and said, "Did you do something wrong? Your Majesty, please make it clear."

Guo Wei heard from Xu Xian that Abao should not add any seasonings to his food, and should at most feed him a little salt every once in a while, otherwise he would get sick. This eunuch just took off his pants and farted.

"Let people continue digging, wash and dry it, don't let it happen like this again." Guo Wei touched Abao's head, "Poor stupid pig, if you wait a little longer, I will let people go to Liuhe Bay to give it to you.

Want to eat."

He shouted outside the door: "Old Mutou, is Zhao Yuanlang here?"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Zhao Kuangyin was seen walking in quickly carrying a cloth bag. Guo Wei waved his hand and said, "Stop saluting, go back to Liuhe Bay and ask for some food for the silly pig."

"Your Majesty, what Wei Chen has in his hand is the rations of a stupid pig." He opened the bag and gave it to Guo Wei to take a look at. "Xu Xian sent this to Wei Chen early in the morning. In addition, Wei Chen also asked Wei Chen to give this to Wei Chen."

Here you go." He took out the pamphlet from his sleeve and handed it to Guo Wei.

Guo Wei opened it and flipped through it, "It seems that he really feels sorry for Han Zhuer as much as I do. I said before that I asked him to go to Kaifeng Mansion to be a scribe. Why doesn't he go? Tell him, he is still young.

It’s still growing.”

"He seems to have no intention of seeking office!"

Guo Wei took a steamed bun and broke it open to feed Ah Bao, "Forget it then, let's reward him with more money later."

Zhao Kuangyin muttered in his heart: "That guy is greedy. I'm afraid he won't be able to appreciate the little left in the official treasury."

Two maids carried a tightly wrapped baby into the hall to greet Guo Wei. Guo Wei reached out and took Brother Yang and put it on his lap, took a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge and handed it to his mouth.
