Wei and Jin cooks

But Gou Xi returned to the General's Mansion and lived a happy life behind closed doors.

Naturally, he heard the arguments outside, but what could he do? He couldn't bring Gou Chun back, could he?

So he asked people to bring medicinal materials and gifts to Zhao Zhongyu to apologize, and he wrote a letter of apology on Gou Chun's behalf, and the matter was settled.

Let’s not talk about whether Zhao Zhongyu and his son accepted it or not. Gou Xi’s treatment made many people feel chilly, including his soldiers.

It's also because Gou Xi's reputation was so good before that the moral sense of the soldiers under him was higher than that of others.

So when Gou Xi's character dropped below their expectations, their faith collapsed and their hearts were divided.

A strong-willed person can rebuild a new one when his belief collapses, but such a person is rare among ten thousand. More people in this world drift with the crowd or give up on themselves after suffering a blow.

At this time, if someone appears for them to rely on and points out a path for them, even if that person has flaws, they will be willing to follow it.

The emperor appeared at the right time according to Zhao Hanzhang's instructions, and immediately subdued Gou Xi's three generals, and took away nearly one-third of his military power.

Of course, this was all done in private, and the three generals defected quietly without making it public. Gou Xi didn't know, and even Zhao Zhongyu couldn't know everything.

Although the emperor did as Zhao Hanzhang wanted, he still subconsciously guarded against her.

But he forgot that it was Zhao Hanzhang who came up with the idea, and she now had someone beside her who knew Gou Xi and his subordinates very well.

Zhao Zhongyu didn't know, but that doesn't mean Zhao Hanzhang didn't know either.

Under the recommendation of three generals, the emperor quietly contacted a military general. The other general wrote back a letter that implicitly expressed his intention to surrender. The emperor was overjoyed and couldn't help but share his joy with Huang Men around him. "What Zhao Hanzhang said is not true." Xu, Gou Xi's temperament has changed drastically, and his generals have deserted him. At this time, as long as I show my favor, they will surrender."

In fact, they were not very confident in the emperor, but the natural advantage of his status was that when Gou Xi was doing well, the generals naturally ignored him and only listened to Gou Xi's orders;

But if Gou Xi is not good, the emperor is a relatively better choice.

What else to do?

Did they directly turn against Gou Xi and join Liu Yuanshi Le or Zhao Hanzhang?

It seems that Gou Xi and Zhao Hanzhang went to war with each other just because of an unexpected move. If they really led their soldiers to surrender, they would probably start a fight directly.

This time the incident is apparently over, but the impact continues.

It seemed that Zhao Hanzhang had given in. Gou Xi saved his face and received a heavy gift from Zhao Hanzhang. It seemed that he also had the lining, but in fact, everyone knew that the lining belonged to Zhao Hanzhang.

But she had been forewarned.

Ming Yu is Gou Xi's confidant, and him being in Zhao Hanzhang's hands means that she knows all Gou Xi's trump cards.

Of course, what the world didn't know was that the emperor was the biggest winner in this incident.

He didn't give anything, he just tried to mediate the conflicts between the two generals, and gained three or four generals, secretly dividing one-third of Gou Xi's military power.

At the same time, it also greatly improved his prestige in Kyushu, letting the world know that his emperor was not just a decoration, but also had some use.

Look, Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, who almost fought this time, were mediated by him.

Only Zhao Ji was injured in the world.

Because of the pain, he couldn't help but scream while lying on the bed. Zhao Zhongyu, who had returned from the palace, came to see him, frowning, angry and distressed, "How many times have I told you, don't do it these days?" Run around and stay in the palace. I have assigned you so many tasks, why are you still outside the palace?"

If Zhao Ji was in the palace, would Gou Chun dare to attack him?

The imperial palace in Yuncheng was renovated and was not large. It was not only the living area for the emperors and concubines, but also the place where hundreds of officials worked.

Therefore, the yamen and yamen are very close to each other, and they are all officials.

Although Gou Chun was bold, he did not dare to take action under the emperor's eyes. There were also the imperial guards. If they took action in the palace, the imperial guards could define them as a threat to the emperor and then kill them.

Zhao Ji was beaten on the street outside the palace.

Zhao Ji's eyes were still bruised and swollen, and his whole face could hardly see its original appearance. He reluctantly opened his eyes and asked angrily: "Father, can Gou Chun win?"

Zhao Zhongyu did not tell him that Gou Chun had run away, and he did not even punish him. Instead, he said: "Don't worry, both Gou Chun brothers will not be easy. You should take good care of your health first and don't go out much in the past few months."

Zhao Zhongyu stood up and saw the ice basin at the foot of the bed. He frowned slightly and said, "You are seriously injured and you cannot bear the cold. Have someone remove the ice basin. If you feel hot, have someone fan you."

He added: "Now that His Majesty advocates frugality, our family should not be too extravagant."

Zhao Ji asked with resentment: "Frugality? Should the money saved be squandered by Gou Xi, or support Zhao Hanzhang?"

Zhao Zhongyu was furious, "Shut up! Don't mention Sanniang's name in this Yuncheng city!"

"Why don't you mention it? Why don't you mention it? You have come to be her hostage, and I can't even mention her name?" Speaking of this, Zhao Ji was very angry. He didn't know Zhao Zhongyu at first He came to Yuncheng to be a hostage, and he thought this was the path chosen by his father, a path that would allow him to fight against Zhao Hanzhang.

After arriving in Yuncheng, he was awarded an official position, and the nobles gradually accepted him. Life was actually better than when he was in Luoyang. He felt that his father's choice this time was right.

Until he heard the words of two drunk officials. They patted his shoulders and praised him for being so brave. They had misjudged him before. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. The coffin of Duke Zhao was accidentally lost that year, not intentionally.

"If it was intentional, why would Uncle Cai come to Yuncheng today to serve as a hostage for Governor Zhao?" The official was so drunk that he smiled dimly while pulling him, "You Zhao family has Zhao Hanzhang here, within ten years you can There is no need to worry, it’s not like my family, where the clan members are separated and now we don’t know where we are, whether we are alive or dead, and whether we will see each other again in this life.”

As he spoke, he burst into tears, pulled Zhao Ji and cried: "Come up to Uncle Cai, you Zhao family members are so lucky. Before you, Duke Zhao paved the way, and later you got talents like Zhao Hanzhang, and Zhao Shangshu did not hesitate. If you are willing to sacrifice your life for the descendants under the authority of the clan leader, you will have no regrets in this life even if you die."

After saying that, regardless of Zhao Ji's blank face, he poured a bowl of wine himself and said boldly: "Here, I'll give you a bowl. If you die one day, even if I can't come to pay homage, this bowl will be considered a sacrifice." ."

Zhao Ji was angry and frightened at the time, and was so frightened that he pushed the person away.
