After asking about the important military and political matters, seeing that it was getting late, Liu Chengyou waved his hand and asked the ministers to disperse.
The Golden Crow falls far away in the west. It only needs a little time before the last bit of light will be swallowed up by darkness. In the Bian Palace, several palaces, mainly Chuigong and Guangzheng, have already lit up palace lanterns. The late autumn night is cold and cool. Like water, inside this deep palace and vast mansion, it looks even colder.
Wearing a scholar's robe and a futou on his head, Guo Wei's warrior aura became weaker and weaker. His steps were square and his face was calm. Some people believed that he was a civil servant and a Confucian scholar.
He simply put his hands in his sleeves and walked out of the palace with Wang Jun in the night wind. Guo Wei turned his head and looked at Wang Jun: "I was ordered to return to the capital this time. Fortunately, I was promoted to the central position. When I first arrived, I was I would like to congratulate Brother Wang for entrusting you with such an important task!"
The relationship between Guo Wei and Wang Jun was not close, but it was not bad. Of course, among the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, there were only a few people who had enemies with Guo Wei, including Liu, Li and other royal family members, especially among them. The emperor's uncle, Liu Chong, the governor of Hedong Jiedu, was very worried. The relationship was formed when he was still in Jinyang.
It is said that Liu Chong was always paying attention to the situation in the DPRK and China in Jinyang, especially in the more than half a year after the new emperor ascended the throne. He was very dissatisfied when he learned that Liu Chengyou reused Guo Wei and made him hold the power. He repeatedly criticized him in front of his staff. words.
Walking at the same time as Guo Wei, Wang Jun said calmly: "Rather than returning to the court, I prefer to use the western frontier. If the four states of Qin and Feng are not returned to their rule, the Shu army can go north at any time, and Guanyou will always be uneasy." !”
There was still a bit of unwillingness and dissatisfaction in Wang Jun's tone.
"With the emperor's military strategy, he will definitely not allow the country to be divided. Even if it is to consolidate the Qiguan right, we should send troops to capture it in the future. Then will be the time for Brother Wang to fight hard!" Guo Wei looked at Wang Jun under the dim light. Wang Jun had a slightly hazy look on his face, and chuckled: "When the imperial court is in the process of employing people, your majesty is even more thirsty for talents. This autumn, the appointment will be completed. With brother Wang's talents, he can serve the imperial court and do his best for the people of the world when he returns to the imperial court." It can."
There was a hint of compliment in Guo Wei's tone. When Wang Jun heard this, he was in a slightly better mood. There was not much arrogance on his face, but there was clearly confidence between his brows.
Glancing at Guo Wei, Wang Jun rolled his eyes and said, "With a capable minister like Brother Guo sitting in the Privy Council, wouldn't it be superfluous for me to come?"
"Brother Wang is joking!" Guo Wei raised his thick eyebrows, still smiling, and cupped his hands: "The Emperor trusted me and entrusted me with the privy affairs. Since I took office, I have been physically and mentally exhausted. Recently, I have been overwhelmed by my workload, and I feel that I am unable to do what I do. And now. I feel relieved that Brother Wang is here to help me!"
Guo Wei was giving face like this, and Wang Jun was a little embarrassed because of Wang Jun's proud attitude at this time. He returned the salute, thought for a while, and suddenly turned his head and asked: "The emperor wants to rectify the imperial army, what do you think the future of this matter is, brother Guo?" "
After spending so much time talking, he finally said something nutritious. After hearing the question, Guo Wei seemed to become more and more calm, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The wind blew his light beard in disorder. He raised his head and said to Wang Jun: "What do you think, Brother Wang?"
In response to Guo Wei's uncompromising performance, he felt a sense of superiority in his heart. He looked deep into the long and secluded palace corridor and said calmly and confidently: "While the rebellion is suppressed and the power is at its peak, as long as the emperor is determined If you are strong enough and implement it with all your strength, I am afraid no one can stop it!"
"However, the establishment of the Palace Front Division and the reorganization of the bodyguard army are clearly dividing the power of the Bodyguard Division. I'm afraid that Shang Hongqian and others will not give in easily! Of course, the emperor's prestige in the army will become more and more powerful. Just rely on Shang Hongqian.
I'm afraid those people like Hong Qian are no match for the Emperor. Besides, with us as Prime Ministers, it's hard for them to do anything big!"
Although Wang Jun's attitude was arrogant, everything he said hit the point. The strong confidence in his words almost infected Guo Wei.
Guo Wei appeared thoughtful, then suddenly realized, and then looked at him: "From Brother Wang's tone, do you want to support the emperor?"
"Didn't you already express your attitude in the palace just now? Brother Guo, don't you have this intention? Are you just perfunctory with the emperor?" Wang Jun stopped, crossed his arms, and looked directly at Guo Wei.
Such words should not be accepted casually.
Guo Wei followed, nodded slightly, and finally said something true: "The Forbidden Army is the wing of the country. A strong army is like a strong wing, which makes it energetic and powerful. Guo should do his best to do so."
"Brother Guo is loyal and upright, and has a keen eye. No wonder the emperor is so trusting." Wang Jun chuckled.
"Brother Wang is overly praised!"
Seeing Guo Wei's modesty, Wang Jun felt that this person had changed a lot. Judging from his past interactions, Guo Wei could not be so "elegant and easy-going".
"Your Majesty wants to reduce the power of the Guards Department and increase the power of the Privy Council. Brother Guo is the Privy Council. You still need to express your congratulations! This time we organize the army, but we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders." Wang Jun said pointedly as he paced again.
Hearing this, Guo Wei also emphasized meaningfully: "Brother Wang is now the Privy Councilor..."
Even if he knows how to be a good person and understand the king's wishes, if there is no benefit, how can even Guo Wei be so active?
"Brother Wang returned to Tokyo for the first time. If you don't mind how late it is, you would like to go to the Privy Council and Guo will personally accompany you." Looking at the darkening sky, Guo Wei pointed to the location of the Privy Council in the southwest of the imperial city and asked thoughtfully.
"Brother Guo is so kind, how dare I disobey you?" Wang Jun said.
As he walked forward, Guo Wei walked aside, silently recalling his conversation with Wang Jun. As far as he felt, Wang Jun had really changed a lot as rumored, or it could be said that the arrogance and arrogance that had been suppressed in the past could no longer be concealed.
, completely released.

Noticing the sharp look on Wang Jun's side face, Guo Wei suddenly had the idea that this person's entry into the center may be a move by the emperor. It is almost certain that the Privy Council will not be peaceful in the future.
Thinking of this, Guo Wei felt that he understood more things.
However, even so, his steps were still very steady. After just talking and exploring things, the two of them basically reached a tacit understanding, at least on the matter of reorganizing the army, the two of them could work together.
On Liu Chengyou's side, he ordered people to close the wide open doors and windows, which reduced the cold breeze and made him more comfortable.
Wei Renpu and Fan Zhi were left behind, and now the only ministers in the court who could truly be trusted and trusted by Liu Chengyou were these two.
"Did I act too hastily in the matter of reorganizing the army?" Sitting across from each other drinking hot tea, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but have some doubts in his tone.
Even though he was extremely strong just now, it was just a necessary attitude.
"Now is the right time. If we miss this good opportunity, we don't know how long it will take. Your Majesty has made up his mind and informed the civil and military forces. He will be determined and unyielding. Don't hesitate to reciprocate!" Fan Zhi's words were sharp, Straightforward advice.
Wei Renpu had obviously thought about it, his expression and voice were very humble, but he also strengthened Liu Chengyou's confidence: "Your Majesty wants to control the imperial army, although his actions are urgent, his mentality is very slow. All he needs to do is to think carefully, prepare properly, and deal with it effectively. , if we implement it steadily, we can take it easy and achieve its full potential. It is very appropriate to let Prime Minister Guo take the lead in handling this matter. With his prestige and ability, he can suppress many objections."
"In addition, regarding the overall military situation, Your Majesty will announce the reduction of all the troops and make peace with them sincerely, so as to avoid any mistakes and omissions in the reports. Regarding the changes in the military situation, Your Majesty will always be aware of the changes in the military situation and make proper arrangements for the officers and soldiers of each army to ensure that No worries!"
