Jiang Qiubai thought about what Feng Dao said in detail. He often listened to Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing's past experiences in the academy and commented on the current situation. He knew that since the Anshi Rebellion, the separatist vassals had relied on the soldiers to fight for power and profit. Therefore, even if the soldiers and generals who were successful had become arrogant and domineering, they would kill the generals if some generals were slightly unfair. Still, when the old and the successors made a mistake in personnel arrangements, they would cause trouble. This trend came from bottom to top.

He also thought that at the moment when Guo Wei died, there would inevitably be a vassal in charge of the vassal states. If Guo Rong was not employed properly, there might be a major change. But Feng Dao invited him, probably because he thought he was close to Guo Rong and wanted to give advice to the emperor.

When he thought about it, he was about to ask for advice, and then heard Feng Dao sigh and said, "To the current emperor, I have been to the ten emperors of four dynasties. Some people say that I am highly respected, and some ridiculed me as a traitor. Hehe, Mr. Jiang... It's not that I am cheating on you. In addition to the late emperor and the emperor, what do you think of the emperors of the Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Han?"

Jiang Qiubai was stunned. Feng Dao did not ask about his opinion on the world's evaluation of him, but he wanted to evaluate the emperor he had served, and he also regarded Zhou Taizu, the current emperor... But he thought that his words were not deceitful, indicating that there was no style of the emperor and the ministers of the emperor. The following distinctions seemed to have a profound meaning, so he bowed and said, "The student has lived in the mountains for a long time and has not known it very much. Please give me advice."

"After the demise of the Later Tang Dynasty, if we follow the so-called loyalty and righteousness of the ministers and the integrity of the literary people... I think I have turned into dust now, hehe." Feng Dao chuckled and said slowly: "This world is a virtuous person. Who treats it as a family and a family? If the king dies, will the way to help the people be destroyed? I have no integrity? Do these emperors have the ambitions of the people in the world? They don't, but I have..."

"If you want to serve the king, your way will be destroyed. If you want to serve the king and your kindness and help the people, the way of heaven will be blessed. I am only loyal to the wisdom of the people, and I have never had the ignorance of abandoning the way and serving the thieves." Feng Dao's tone was plain, "I think when the Tang Dynasty was unified, the people in the current Southern Tang, Western Shu, Southern Han, Northern Han, and Youyun were no different from you and our country. The Khitan was even more surrendered, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, the idea of ​​a family and a family was already there during the Anshi Rebellion. When the Yellow Peril appeared, the towns in Sifang took advantage of the chaos to seize territory and ignored the lives and deaths of the people. In their hearts, what is a country?

Haha, if you talk about integrity, I think... it is for the people of the world to be righteous, and it is for the way of heaven. I have no soldiers and soldiers, so I dare to protect the people of the Central Plains in Yelu Deguang's hands. Can those chaotic thieves with thousands of troops have this courage?"

Jiang Qiubai felt like a blow from the head. Looking at the old man with white hair and calm expression, his pores frightened and felt touched in an instant. He did not agree with Feng Dao's way of being an official, and even thought that he had no integrity. After hearing this, a slight respect arises in his heart.

"They follow the way of a king of their family and a surname. I am the duty of an official to make the people safe; they steal the fortune of the country and become kings, and I am the righteous and righteous of the heavens and become officials. How can I ignore the demise of a family and a surname and a surname?..."

Feng Dao paused and smiled, "I want to be unyielding, and to set my ties with cocoons, to accumulate energy and realize my ambitions, and to stand up vigorously and straight. It's all I want."

Jiang Qiubai felt awe when he heard this.

"A gentleman makes rituals and music to prevent villains, and a villain steals rituals and music to usurp the gentleman. Since the troubled times, the intention of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety has been used by villains. The ignorance of the ignorance of the world has been used for a long time... With the intention of the wild rivers and lakes, the integrity of the court is shaped by the righteousness of the court.

Therefore, I had a wish in my heart, and engraved the "Nine Classics" into a version, so that it could spread it widely among the public and enlighten the people... By the autumn of the third year of Guangshun, it finally came true. Every time I printed it, I had endless joy, haha..."

Jiang Qiubai immediately guessed that Feng Dao called himself "Old Man Changle" because of this reason.

"After the late emperor Long Xian, he knew that the people had been suffering for a long time, rectifying the officials' style, dividing the land and comforting the people... Although the imperial style gradually became, it was also restrained by the towns and weighing the pros and cons, and finally choosing the art of mutual restraint... Unfortunately, the late emperor's ambition was not over yet, and the grand ambitions of the late emperor failed to fulfill his wishes." Feng Dao sighed and changed his subject, "The current saints are very talented and wise, and they are a little too impatient. I serve the ten emperors of the king, but I am angry with him..."

Jiang Qiubai sighed when he heard this, but as he knew, Feng Dao never fought hard for the difference between his views and the emperor he had worshipped before. He tried to stop Guo Rong from expeditioning in person, but thought that he had regarded Guo Rong as a wise lord, and he was very concerned about his safety, and even offended Long Wei and tried his best to persuade Guo Rong to expedition in person.

"The Dragon Power of the Emperor of the Emperor is revealed, and the generals of Jiezhen have not been determined and will send troops rashly. If the dispatch is not properly arranged, there may be chaos."

"Why did the Grand Master mean that if the priest did not personally conquer the enemy... who is capable of commanding the army and destroying the enemy?" Jiang Qiubai said carefully.

"Mr. Jiang's meaning... is to persuade the emperor to take back the imperial commander's personal pursuit?" Feng Dao looked at Jiang Qiubai with a smile on his face.

Jiang Qiubai hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "Students may give it a try."

Only by relying on the power of the Northern Han Dynasty, we should not be afraid of it, but with the Liao army united, we naturally have to consider it carefully. At present, Guo Rong's prestige is not enough to shock the governors of various states. If the army is defeated, the morale of the army is dispersed and the momentum is lost, those soldiers and horses who are planning to make mistakes and change their responsibilities will take the opportunity to cause trouble. Jiang Qiubai was very impressed that what Feng Dao said was reasonable, which was to feel the desire to persuade Guo Rong.

"No, the holy will has been settled now..." Feng Dao pondered: "Even if the holy emperor takes back his life, he will lose morale. I invited the gentleman to come, not to ask the gentleman to persuade the emperor, but to ask the gentleman to conduct the deployment of troops."

Looking at Jiang Qiubai with a shocked look, Feng Dao smiled and said, "This is the gentleman who will persuade him, but the emperor will lose trust in me. The king of a country and the mutual opinions of a country have been there since ancient times, but it is not possible to distinguish right from wrong through the mouth of a third party...

For example, in the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the intervention of sons clearly states that the mother loses, the daughter-in-law loses virtuousness, the daughter-in-law loses, and the mother loses kindness. Some things are intervened and persuaded, which show opposing views.

The wise and wise man, although he has a good opinion of me, no matter what the outcome will be in the future, the wise will have a decent way to advance and retreat with me."

Jiang Qiubai felt a lot in his heart, and then heard Feng Dao continue to say: "Weapon is a treacherous way. Their chances change instantly. If you think about it, you can be an invincible place."

"I hope Master will give me advice, and students will do their best to prepare."

"Since ancient times, generals have been particularly important in marching and fighting. However, in the current battle, generals who lead troops should value their loyalty before they can say their ability..." Feng Dao pondered a little, "Generals on the border should not be moved lightly... They can adjust Shanzhou Town and Ruan guard Fengyang Prefecture. The concerns of Western Shu can be eliminated. They ordered the troops who stayed in Han Tonghe Jinzhou to rush to Luzhou from the west."

The former commander of the Hujie Army, Han Tong, had been transferred to Shanzhou to stay in the country. Jiang Qiubai met him. Knowing that he was brave and good at fighting, he was loyal to Guo Rong, he nodded when he heard this.

"In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the generals on the border of Youzhou should not change. You can send a quick horse to the guards to warn day and night to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to harass him. Remember to only defend but not attack...

Now that the Holy Spirit has decided, the Emperor must be eager to send troops, but he can order Fu Yanqing, the governor of Tianxiong Army, to lead the troops and horses of Cizhou to rescue him from the east. The army's food and grass must be in a short time... In front of the order of the Heyang Jiedushi Liu Ci gathered Luoyang, and the troops of the prefectures and counties around Kyoto to form a large army, mobilized the food and grass and followed up."

Liu Ci was a close confidant who had been with Guo Wei for many years, and Fu Yanqing was the current father-in-law, so there was no need to worry about using him to lead the troops.

"As for the soldiers and horses that the emperor accompanied, they must be the guards and guards, and infantry led by Zhang Yongde, the commander in front of the hall... Haha, the emperor decided to fight in person, and he must have made some arrangements in his heart. Mr. Jiang can make arrangements according to the holy wishes to make changes."

Jiang Qiubai nodded solemnly when he heard this, "Students must do their best to do everything."

Feng Dao smiled comfortingly and sighed: "The wisest emperor was enlightened by Mr. Jiang's academy. With Mr. Jiang's wisdom, he must have done this strategy... Alas, I am old and cannot go to Taibai Mountain to see the masters in the academy."

Jiang Qiubai smiled slightly, but knew that he should say goodbye, so he stood up and saluted: "The Grand Master would rest earlier, and the students would leave first."

Feng Dao did not try to keep him, and personally sent Jiang Qiubai to the door to say goodbye.

When he returned to the house, Jiang Qiubai's thoughts fluctuated, but he thought about Feng Dao's words, so he could not tell Guo Rong the truth. First, Guo Rong had only ascended the throne in his thirties. He had led troops to fight in his early years, and he must have made a reason for his decision to fight in person. Second, if he talked about Feng Dao's concerns, he would inevitably think of him as an ignorant young master, and he would also be suspected of tyrannical evil people complaining first.

He also thought that if Feng Dao's painstaking efforts were not spoken out, Guo Rong won the personal battle this time, and if he met with Feng Dao's advice on a daily basis, he might be embarrassed and upset Feng Dao if he lost. The ending of the two games was unfair to Feng Dao.

After thinking about it, it was almost the hour of Mao. I was thinking about going to the palace and meeting, but I was afraid that Guo Rong would be the officials to ask for his personal mission when he met. However, the court made a tactful explanation. After a change of thought, I thought that Guo Rong would ask for advice from him whenever he had major issues. Maybe he thought that he would take care of his wife who was suffering from the cold, so he had never summoned him to inquire in private.

Yesterday, Cheng Zheng came to the mansion to visit his wife. Guo Rong would definitely ask him in the morning court... If he knew that his wife was fine, he would definitely summon him. Thinking of this, he calmed down and went to the inner house to visit his wife who could no longer walk on the bed, so he went to the side room to meditate and rest.

As expected, at three o'clock in the morning, a eunuch in the palace brought Guo Rong oral instructions and told him to come to the palace to meet the saint.

Guo Rong in the imperial study room of the imperial palace, but when Jiang Qiubai arrived, he ordered the eunuch to sit down. After he stepped back, he looked at Jiang Qiubai and shook his head helplessly, "Uncle Shi, do you think these civil servants and military generals are annoying or not, but Feng Dao. It would be fine if I could not do the Shenwu of Emperor Taizong of Tang yesterday, but he even ridiculed me for the weak military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and smashed my morale... This morning, I asked all the ministers about military strategies. Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and hesitated, and hesitated. He should be the one who missed my major affairs.

I think Feng Dao really disappointed my respect for him. The late emperor often praised him for his ability to help the people and govern the country, but he did not expect that he was so narrow-minded... I decided to fight in person. If I could not dissuade him, I should put aside my prejudices, take up the responsibility of the Secretary of the Central Committee, and offer advice to deploy troops. In the morning court, I didn't say a word."

Jiang Qiubai remembered Feng Dao's conversation with him, secretly praised Feng Dao as knowing Shengcong, and was also impressed by Guo Rong's demeanor towards things and not people.

Thinking that he had vented his distress in his heart, Guo Rong sighed and said slowly: "I don't know his intentions, but he is finally pedantic. Since the troubled times, the vassal states have relied on their troops and respected their own troops. The atmosphere has not diminished. When the late emperor was alive, he also suffered from hidden dangers in the peace and security. However, he wanted the people to be displaced and devoted himself to the people's livelihood first. For the peace and security, he often used frequent defense measures to relieve the expansion of his personal soldiers and became a disaster. Although it worked, it also caused some arrogant soldiers and generals to be dissatisfied and hated the court."

Jiang Qiubai was shocked. What Guo Rong was worried about was Feng Dao's worries. But knowing that since Guo Rong could think of this problem, he insisted on commanding the army in person, he guessed that he must have plans in his heart, so he listened intently.

"This time, the pseudo-Han took advantage of my new establishment, and people's hearts were unstable, and colluded with Liao soldiers to invade our borders. Although it was a fierce momentum, it was also an opportunity for me to rest. As long as the pseudo-Han was defeated, those who were ready to move and had bad intentions would shock themselves... Or someone took the opportunity to cause trouble, but they just happened to catch them all. At that time, the military and civilians would be united, so as to avoid the worries of my future expansion of territory."

Jiang Qiubai was shocked. He had been with Guo Rong for two years because he heard him say that the trouble of suppressing the arrogant soldiers, but he did not expect that he would take advantage of the enemy's invasion to take advantage of this dangerous move. With a thought, he said, "How will the emperor plan to arrange the troops to act..."

Guo Rong got up from his seat, picked up a memorial on the imperial desk, looked at it, and pondered: "I am going to order Fu Yanqing to lead the Tianxiong army from the east to lead troops to support... Wang Yanchao, Han Tong attacked the enemy from the west of Jinzhou, and Zhang Ci prepared the army to lead the army and then..."

"The emperor must be careful of the surrounding Shu, Tang and Youzhou borders..."

"Well." Guo Rong nodded, "What the uncle said is reasonable. When my army moves, Shu and Tang may wait for an opportunity to harass me and disrupt my position. Zhe Congruan has a high prestige. I have ordered him to be the governor of the Jingnan Army and guard Fengxiang Prefecture to resist Western Shu."

"For the Southern Tang... the original defense has not changed. When I issued an edict to grant the title of King of Wu and Yue as the Grand Marshal of the World, I secretly issued an order to him. If the Southern Tang disturbs our borders, I can send troops to attack the Southern Tang to restrain him.

As for the Youzhou border, there were heavy troops to guard the border and had been under control for several years. Our army was in an attack. The troops in Shandong were ready to be prepared, so there should be no need to worry... Can the uncle of the army have good strategies?"

Jiang Qiubai looked at the note in Guo Rong's hand, guessing that he had planned to personally expedition when the Northern Han invaded. He heard that his defense was almost the same as Feng Dao. But thinking that he had such a thorough consideration, it showed his talent and strategy. He was very admirable, and said: "I have never participated in the battle of siege and robbing the city. If you talk about a good strategy, the emperor's layout is already the best strategy. I don't know when the emperor will send troops to personally expedition..."

"Three days later, Zhang Yongde will be in charge of the Shenhu Camp, and the guards of the personal army will follow me... Fan Aineng, He Hui will be in charge of the horses, and the guards will be the right, Li Chongjin, Bai Chongzan will be in the left army, Xiang Xun, and Shi Yanchao will be in the middle army."

"Why don't you wait a few more days to send troops with Zhang Ci's army?"

"No. The pseudo-Han attacked Luzhou for a long time, for fear that it would divide its troops to advance to Zezhou. Once Zezhou is captured, the pseudo-Han will definitely come straight to Kaifeng. Luzhou will also be lost due to the disintegration of the morale of the army.

Liu Chong took advantage of my new establishment and would not expect that I would personally fight. I should strike him head-on and smash his strength. It took a long time for the army to assemble. It would take about ten days to happen, and I am afraid that business accidents will happen..."

Jiang Qiubai was already full of heart and nodded and said, "Then the wealthy minister will go back and prepare to destroy the fake Han Dynasty with the emperor."

Guo Rong smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "When the late emperor was dying, he ordered He Mansion and Wei Mansion to bury a pair of sword armor, Chanzhou to bury the Tongtian crown, crimson robe, Tokyo to bury a pair of flat heaven crown, and dragon robe. This matter is very important. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but now I can only ask my uncle to do it."

"The last order of Emperor Taizu?" Jiang Qiubai was very surprised, and he didn't know what Guo Wei's arrangement was.

"Yes. I have issued an edict to order Feng Dao to be the envoy of the mountain tomb to supervise the construction of the tomb of the former emperor. He has already sent someone to do the dragon crown and the dragon suit in Tokyo. There are only ones in the other places, the location and time are here..." In his words, Guo Rong took out a treasure bag from a box on the imperial desk.

Jiang Qiubai hesitated for a moment and said, "I think that the fake Han Dynasty must have a military offering. This time the emperor personally fought for the emperor, and the empress should accompany him. Can this matter be delayed?"

Guo Rong slowly shook his head, "No, the time is around early summer. It is now the seventh day of the third month. Although there is more than a month, if the uncle of the army is following the army... he may not be able to do anything. The late emperor said that this matter has a lot to do with the dragon vein of Qinglong Mountain and must not be known to outsiders. It is still the sword tomb of the two palaces of the river and Wei."

When talking about the dragon vein of Qinglong Mountain, Jiang Qiubai was shocked. It turned out that although Chu and Luo suspected that the so-called wise ruler might be in Guo Rong, they felt that Emperor Guo Wei was in his prime. Even if Zhu Xuanzhou was not guilty, it would take some time for the wise ruler to appear in the world.

But the idea was of great importance, and the two of them dared not speak out, so as not to cause unreasonable disasters, so they did not inform Jiang Qiubai of Zhu Xuanzhou. However, after handing over the secret bag to Guo Rong, they also privately ordered Jiang Qiubai to inform him about the Qinglong Mountain Dragon Vein.

After hearing Guo Rong's words, Jiang Qiubai didn't know what Guo Wei's last order had to do with the dragon vein, thinking about Chu Nanfeng's instructions that day, he guessed that this matter was quite serious, and he thought that Guo Rong's safety should not be ignored, so he did not dare to respond to the order for a moment. After some consideration, he said, "Why would I go to Tongbao Pavilion in the city and ask Jianwei to send a message to Shangyou and ask him and Senior Brother Zhao to come to secretly handle this matter. What do the emperor think?"

Guo Rong also hesitated when he heard this, thought for a moment, and pondered: "It's good...but how to hand over it?"

"The emperor can hand over the sword armor and the crown robe to Weichen. Weichen hides it in the house. He can just send Xin Shangyou and Senior Brother Zhao to Weichen's house to take it away."

Guo Rong looked at the tip in his hand and thoughtfully, and then handed it to Jiang Qiubai after a moment, "After that uncle returns, leave a letter to them, so that they must do things according to the time in the tip, and must not be neglected."

"Please rest assured, I will make arrangements."

"Okay, that uncle is waiting here for now. I will go and prepare the crown, robe and sword armor immediately." After saying that, he left quickly, but seeing him personally arrange it with the emperor's honor, it shows how important this matter is. Jiang Qiubai's heart was like carrying a heavy mountain.

After a stick of incense, two guards were seen holding a box in his hand on the porch in front of the imperial study room. Then Guo Rong slowly entered, bent down behind him and followed an eunuch who was fifty years old in his hand. He followed Guo Rong to the imperial case. The eunuch stood up straight, and a decree was printed, saying, "The Guanglu doctor Jiang Qiubai received the order."

Jiang Qiubai was stunned and immediately shouted long live to bow to the ground.

"The Guanglu Dafu Jiang Qiubai, who was in the late emperor's reign, followed me to govern Chanzhou and Kaifeng, and was full of my talents and knowledgeable martial arts, respectful and cautious in my work, and offered good advice. I think I am a teacher. I know the gentleman's elegant ambition, and I praise the benevolence of the scriptures, and I am engraved with wisdom and folk customs. I gave it to the Grand Tutor, and the engraved version of the "Nine Classics" written by the Secretary Feng Dao to express my heart..."

Jiang Qiubai suddenly understood that in order not to make people doubt, Guo Rong put his sword armor and robe in a box and decorated it with the name of "Nine Classics" to facilitate delivery to his house. He was busy receiving the order to thank him.

Back at the mansion, Jiang Qiubai hid the box and left the mansion to the Tongbao Pavilion on the East Street. He was a disciple of Wu Wangbo and was a brother of Luo Hanshui. The manager of the pavilion was very respectful to him. Knowing that Jiang Qiubai's purpose was to seal Jiang Qiubai's handwritten letters and hand them to Taibai Academy with arrows.

After the matter was completed, Jiang Qiubai said goodbye and returned. When he passed by Kaifeng Prefecture, he saw Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of the Shenhu Camp, leading a group of guards, hurried out from the yamen. He saw Jiang Qiubai with joy on his face and stepped forward to greet him: "I have seen Lord Guanglu, but the officials still want to disturb him at the mansion..."

When Guo Wei was in power, Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the commander of the infantry Huazhou. When Guo Rong was granted the title of prefect of Kaifeng, he was transferred to him to serve as the Ma Zhi army envoy of the guards in the capital. After ascending the throne, he was promoted to the commander of the Shenhu Camp of the Imperial Guard.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Jiang Qiubai was a little surprised.

"The supervisor of Sitianjian is missing."

"Missing?"

This surveillance officer has had several interactions with Jiang Qiubai since he was searching for the dragon vein of Qinglong Mountain. However, he knew that his cultivation was a complete spiritual consciousness and disappeared in the imperial city. Jiang Qiubai was shocked and suspicious when he heard this.

"At nearly noon, the priest asked him to come to the palace to meet the priest, and then he realized that he was not in the Sitianjian..."

"Oh, wasn't it because of the custody on duty today?"

"It was him on duty. Logically speaking, he should have been to Sitianjian at the time of Mao, but... it was just that he was the supervisor, and no one in Sitianjian would supervise him, so the officials of Damao did not investigate for a while..."
To be continued...
