The so-called deputy general of the guard is actually the head of the personal soldiers, and is usually the trusted person of the chief general. Dong Zunhui is also half of Guo Wei's disciple, and he has been obeying orders for a long time, which has left a very good impression on Guo Wei. So after Tao Gu reported Dong Zunhui's name, Guo Wei quickly agreed to let Dong Zunhui take this position. At the end of September, Dong Zunhui came to Guo Wei's mansion and took office immediately.

As Privy Councilor and Shizhong, Guo Wei has his own elite private guard. The leader of the guard is Shi Shouxin, who has just been promoted. When Shi Shouxin was in Hezhong Prefecture, he was guided by the nameless Taoist priest and had a good relationship with Dong Zunhui. After we got together for a while, we obtained the consent of Wang Zhengzhong, Yang Guangyi, Wang Shenqi, Liu Qingyi and others. Dong Zunhui and other six became brothers, known as the six brothers of Yishe. The six people happily spent the New Year together at Dong Zunhui's house, and their friendship was getting better and better.[]

Dong Zunhui still remembers that the power Zhao Kuangyin relied on usurping Zhou Lisong in history included several of his sworn brothers, named "Ten Brothers of Yishe". Now he has made friends with five people, and the remaining four are Han Chongyun, Liu Guangyi (Liu Tingrang), and Li Jixun who joined the army until Guo Wei was guarding Yedu. Dong Zunhui has never met Liu Shouzhong, but he has been vague in history and should not be an outstanding talent.

A qualified deputy guard general must first ensure the safety of the head of the family. Dong Zunhui specially customized several iron plates from the blacksmith shop and installed them in Guo Wei's carriage. From the outside, the carriage was very ordinary, but Dong Zunhui specially conducted many experiments, and the thick iron plate hidden inside was enough to stop the several rounds of shooting of bows and arrows.

Dong Zunhui also specially found a skilled craftsman to install a closet on the carriage, which was divided into many small grids, including fine wine, snacks, Go, purse, and even a few ordinary dresses of scholars. As for the decorations in the carriage, with Le'an's help, it should be able to please Guo Wei.

After the modification was completed, Dong Zunhui immediately presented the carriage. Guo Wei had actually received the report long ago, and he felt very satisfied after reading it. Guo Wei used to ride out horses, but recently he was too busy having too many social events. He was drunk and kept bumping on his horse, and it was easy to get into trouble. Now that he has this thoughtful carriage, it is much easier.

After half a year of relatively ordinary life, Guo Wei was going to Shi Hongzhao's mansion to attend a banquet again in early May. Guo Wei, who knew Shi Hongzhao's alcoholism, specially got on the carriage and was ready to return without getting drunk. However, as soon as Guo Wei arrived at Shi Hongzhao's mansion, he received news of the Khitan offense. Guo Wei did not dare to neglect and immediately entered the palace with Shi Hongzhao.

As Guo Wei's deputy guard, Dong Zunhui also led his guards to wait in front of the palace gate. At this time, many people had gathered in front of the palace gate, waiting for his lord. However, there was one person around, and he was the only one who collapsed on the ground. Dong Zunhui looked at him, but it was the dejected Wu Qianyu.

Dong Zunhui was very surprised. In his opinion, Wu Qianyu, who had not made many military achievements, was promoted to Xuanhui envoy for being unconventional. He should be very happy. Why is he so decadent that he even disregards the officials' etiquette! He also had some friendship with Wu Qianyu, and it was not good to pretend not to know each other when he met.

So Dong Zunhui stepped forward and bowed, and asked Wu Qianyu in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, Lord Wu? You are the Xuanhui envoy. You are sitting at the door of the palace like this, but you will be impeached by the censor!"

Wu Qianyu raised his head and found that it was Dong Zunhui who had met several times. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but after all, he was kind-hearted. Wu Qianyu said in a low mood: "Daoan, I will soon be no Xuanhui envoy. If the Censor is willing to impeach, please impeach!"

Seeing that Dong Zunhui was very surprised, Wu Qianyu also wanted to tell others about his grievances, so he explained it carefully to Dong Zunhui.

When he entered the palace to ask for a meeting this morning, he happened to meet Yang Bin. Because Yang Bin had too many part-time jobs, he asked the emperor to remove him as Privy Councilor. Although Yang Bin was not doing things smoothly, he was an important minister of the empire after all. How could Liu Chengyou remove his position casually, even if it was just a part-time job?

Liu Chengyou signaled Wu Qianyu to dissuade him, but Wu Qianyu had his own ideas. He felt that the Privy Council was a confidential place of the empire, and such senior officials should not be allowed to be controlled by such senior officials, so as not to be too powerful and become an internal trouble for the empire in the future. Wu Qianyu ignored the emperor's hint and said to himself: "The Privy Council is a confidential place of the royal family, and younger generations should be allowed to take turns to do things. It is very correct for Yang Gong to resign from this position."

Liu Chengyou felt that he had already suggested it clearly enough, why did Wu Qianyu be so ignorant? At this moment, news of the Khitan offensive came, and Liu Chengyou used the excuse to try to keep Yang Bin. At the same time, he appointed Wu Qianyu as the Zhengzhou defense envoy and drove him out of Kaifeng like venting anger!

Dong Zunhui thought Wu Qianyu was right, but since the emperor had given the order, everyone could not openly object. Dong Zunhui comforted Wu Qianyu a few words, but there was a cliché such as the car had to go to the mountain, but Wu Qianyu felt very comfortable. He sat in front of the palace for more than half an hour, but no one came forward to comfort him.

At this time, there was a dispute in the palace. The Liao people were now rushing north of the Yellow River, as if they were entering a no-man. However, the war zones were blindly defending, and no one dared to attack on the initiative. The result was like a piece of sand that was defeated by the Liao army many times!

Everyone felt that a general should be sent to take charge of Yedu and urge the generals to resist. Guo Wei volunteered, and Liu Chengyou agreed readily. However, Shi Hongzhao proposed that Guo Wei still serve as the Privy Councilor, but Su Fengji opposed it on the grounds that there was no old rules, and everyone started arguing about this.

Shi Hongzhao said loudly: "It is important to follow the power of affairs, so how can we implement it according to the old rules? Besides, General Guo also commanded the Privy Councilor to engage in the work at a cheap price, shock the generals of the army, and smoothly issue orders and mobilize people. How can you civil officials know the importance of the change in the battlefield?!"

Seeing Shi Hongzhao's mouth full of spitting stars and arguing loudly, Su Fengji was a little timid and did not dare to argue loudly anymore. He just muttered in a low voice: "It is natural for the central government to control the local area; but if he was in charge and pointed at the central government's policies, wouldn't it be a turnaround?!"

Although his words make some sense, the shadow caused by the Khitans' travel south a few years ago is really worrying. The most important thing at present is to drive the Khitans back and never let them think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the Central Plains!
