Chapter 300: Establishing the Crown Lord

In fact, if you study it carefully, Guo Wei demoted Wang Jun to Youzhou and sent Wang Yin to besieged and killed, which was not a temporary intention. Many times, he was forced to do so.

Since worshiping the Confucius Temple, Guo Wei's health has not been very good. The old injuries left by the wars in previous years have been causing him to suffer. Although it is much better than the new and old injuries in history, it is also very tormenting. The continuous illnesses forced Guo Wei to consider the matter of the crown prince, but the more he considered it, the more he felt, the more he was in a loss. Now there are three people who may inherit Guo Wei's Great Zhou, but the situation of these three heirs is not very good. If it weren't for this, how could Guo Wei win over the high-powered Wang Jun, and how could he kill the rebellious Wang Yin?!

Among the three, Li Chongjin was Guo Wei's nephew. Although he had some prestige in the army, this guy valued martial arts and was not the best candidate for the emperor. Moreover, Li Chongjin's surname was Li after all. If he was asked to inherit the throne, wouldn't the Guo dynasty established by Guo Wei change his surname? Therefore, Guo Wei ruled out the possibility of letting Li Chongjin ascend the throne from the beginning, and only let him command the army but not let him deal with political affairs.

Logically speaking, Guo Wei's biological son Guo Xin (Yi Geer) is the most qualified to inherit the throne. However, he suffered excessive fright during the capital rebellion, which seriously damaged his brain cells, resulting in Guo Xin's IQ being maintained at the level of a child in his teens. With such an intelligence level, how can he control a dynasty, especially a dynasty with enemy countries around him!

The land of Later Zhou was destined to be ruled by real strong men. It is in the heart of the Central Plains, with convenient transportation and no natural barriers to rely on. If it is strong, it may come to celebrate, and if it is declining, it will be surrounded by enemies. Don’t forget that there is not only one Later Zhou in China. There are Southern Tang, Wu and Yue in the south, the Later Han Han, the mortal enemy Liu Chong, and the foreign Khitan, which occupies Shuofang. As for the northwest, there are also foreign races such as Dangxiang in rebellion. Since Guo Wei ascended the throne, the surrounding areas have been eyeing the Later Zhou. If Guo Xin was allowed to inherit the throne, then the only words "destruction" may be waiting for Later Zhou!

In this way, there is only one candidate left, that is Guo Rong (Chai Rong). Guo Rong is a man with a stunning appearance, good at riding and shooting, and is a little familiar with calligraphy and history, and is heavy and taciturn, so he is more suitable for being a crown prince.

However, Guo Wei was also worried about him. Since Guo Rong became an official, he had basically been under his own protection and had not experienced many strong storms. In the Later Han Dynasty, in order to appease Guo Wei, the emperor did not let Guo Rong guard one side in order to appease Guo Wei. Guo Wei raised an army and left Guo Rong in the rear, and did not get training in the army. Moreover, after Guo Wei became emperor, considering the problem of his beloved son Guo Xin's future inheritance of the imperial throne (the issue of Guo Xin's IQ was not yet revealed), he also suppressed Guo Rong, who was older than Guo Xin. In this way, Guo Rong did not establish prestige in both civil and military affairs, because he was afraid that after he became emperor, the imperial edict would be looked down upon by his ministers and affect the development of the Great Zhou.

Moreover, Guo Wei was also very worried, that is, Guo Rong's father Chai Shouli was still alive, and the power of the Chai clan was also very strong. After Guo Rong completely controlled the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Chai clan would definitely grow and grow. By then, although the Zhou Dynasty was still wearing the cloak of the Guo family, the Chai clan was the master! As his biological son, Yi Ge'er would definitely be regarded as a huge threat to Guo Rong by some people, and he would be poisoned by these intent people! Since ancient times, the emperors were ruthless. Even if Guo Rong took good care of Yi Ge'er, he could not resist the temptation to stabilize the throne! He only had this personal son. Does he really face the danger of survival in the future?

In history, Qing Ge'er, Yi Ge'er died long ago, Guo Wei had only the choice of Guo Rong. But now Guo Wei was confused and he was in a dilemma: if you want the Great Zhou to truly grow and grow, Guo Rong is his best candidate; but if you want to save your son's life, you cannot pass the throne to Guo Rong! Guo Wei's hair turned white a few strands, and he didn't come up with the idea of ​​the best of both worlds.

Until someone mentioned that Guo Rong's wife and children were all killed in the capital chaos, Guo Wei suddenly felt aroused. According to Wude Department, there has been no news of Guo Rong marrying a wife and taking concubines in the past two years. Although he favored his maids, he did not give birth to a child or a daughter.

In history, after Guo Wei ascended the throne, Guo Rong was appointed as the governor of Chanzhou, the Taibao of the School Prosecutor, and the Marquis of Taiyuan County. Although he was suppressed by Wang Jun, he was also called "a proud" and gave birth to his son Guo Zongxun this year. But now Guo Rong only has a Taibao of the School Prosecutor, so he should not be too diligent when drinking to relieve his worries. Even if he had a few spring breezes after drinking, he did not give birth to a child. In order to win Guo Wei's favor again, Guo Rong tried hard to show his efforts in the flood not long ago. He soaked in cold water many times and suffered several serious illnesses one after another.

Guo Wei secretly ordered someone to come to the Imperial Hospital for more than half an hour, and then ordered him to write a prescription, and immediately killed him on the charge of revealing the inside story of the palace. Soon, Wude Department sent a dead soldier to secretly bribe the servants around Guo Rong and incorporate the drug into Guo Rong's decoction.

So a few days later, Guo Rong suddenly became hungry and thirsty, and was erected in the animal nature. He actually picked several pretty maids in the illness. In the end, he lost his sperm and swelled thousands of miles away. It was clearly the symptom of "Ma Shangfeng". This Ma Shangfeng is called "Certainty Discharge" in traditional Chinese medicine, and is called "Ma Tianyi". Now it is called ** sudden death. Under everyone's strange eyes and the combined treatment of dozens of famous doctors, Guo Rong finally saved his life, but his body was broken and he had psychological illness in sexual intercourse.

Soon, Guo Wei summoned Guo Rong and scolded him well, so that he could cultivate his character and stop causing such scandals. Guo Rong was also very embarrassed. He also sent people to inspect many times afterwards, but the result was his own problem. After recovering from the serious illness, he could not control his pretty maid, which led to such a big problem.

However, Guo Wei also appeased Guo Rong and conferred him as the prefect of Kaifeng and the marquis of Taiyuan County. As for Guo Xin, he was granted the title of the governor of Chanzhou and the governor of Zhenning Army.

At this sensitive moment, Guo Rong's new appointment immediately became a sign of Guo Rong's inheritance of the throne. Compared with Li Chongjin who was standing still, Guo Rong became dazzling at this moment, which made the people who laughed at him not long ago feel a little embarrassed and regretful.

It is well known that Guo Xin's IQ is deteriorated. He was named the governor of Chanzhou and was regarded by almost everyone as compensation for his loss of the throne. Everyone's expectations for Guo Xin were just to wait for him to grow up, marry and have children, and continue Guo Wei's bloodline. But most people don't know that Guo Rong, who has no children and is unable to have sex, can only adopt one person from Guo Xin's future children in the future and inherit the great cause.

For a feudal dynasty, establishing the crown prince was a great event, and everyone congratulated each other. Although Guo Wei himself hated auspicious things, it did not prevent him from using other major events to consolidate Guo Rong's status.

Soon, Tian Minjin, the Secretary of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Supervisor of the Imperial College, presented the printed version of the Nine Classics: "Five Classics Texts" and "Nine Classics Texts", a total of 130 volumes. The engraving of the Nine Classics took more than 20 years, and began in the third year of Changxing in the Later Tang Dynasty. Tian Min, the then military farmer, was appointed as the detailed surveyor; in May of the first year of Qianyou of the Later Han Dynasty, the Imperial College reported that there were no printed copies of the four classics of "Zhou Li", "Liquor", "Gongyang" and "Guliang". Please collect the academic officials to proofread the text of the four classics to carve the plates. Such a literary event can better show that the prosperity is coming than the illusory auspicious auspiciousness.

A few days later, Guo Rong made a public comment at the instruction of Guo Wei, saying that the Later Han Dynasty was prohibited from making salt and wine music privately, and the legislation was harsh. If there were any violations, they would be executed no matter how many of them were violated, which was quite harsh to the people. Now that the war has been settled, I hope that Your Majesty can be approved and open the ban a little to facilitate the lives of the people.

So after discussing with the ministers, Guo Wei promulgated a new law: those who sell privately for private salt in addition to their own use will be sentenced to eighty pounds and will be sentenced to one year of labor service; those who have more than one pounds and less than five pounds will be sentenced to three years of imprisonment; those who have more than five pounds will be sentenced to one pound and will be sentenced to three years of imprisonment and will be sentenced to more than one pound.

After this, many people rely on this, Guo Rong's reputation rose sharply. However, soon a trouble was placed in front of the Later Zhou court, that is, the Gyeongzhou Dangxiang actually rebelled!

It turned out that there was green and white salt land in Yanzhou in the north of Qingzhou. In the old case, green salt was charged 800 cents of tax per stone and salt one pound; white salt was charged 500 cents of tax per stone and 5 liters of salt. Later, as prices rose, green salt was charged 1,000 cents of money per stone and salt was charged 1,000 cents of salt. The so-called "living by mountains and water" by water, and naturally relying on salt fields to make a living. The Dangxiang tribe here mined salt, which was usually sold to Han people, and then sold to the mainland by these people. Because the tax had been paid and the amount was not large, the government always agreed.

However, Guo Yanqin, the governor of Qingzhou in the Later Zhou Dynasty, used a lot of money and then bought the position of governor of Qingzhou from Wang Jun. He was short of money and stared at the salt tax. Soon Guo Yanqin ordered the increase in tax money.

The local Dangxiang pheasant tribe raised countless sheep and horses because of the money obtained from selling salt. Guo Yanqin deliberately sent people to pretend to be thieves to attack them and seek bribes. However, Guo Yanqin forgot one thing that these Dangxiang people were not as obedient as the mainland people, and they dared to rise up with no fixed place. Soon, the pheasant tribe rebelled openly. By the time the Central Plains court learned the news, Qingzhou was already in chaos.

At this critical moment of establishing the crown prince, how could Guo Wei allow others to rebel? So on the one hand, Guo Wei appointed Zhe Congruan, the governor of Baoyi Army, as the governor of Jingnan, and with Ningzhou Governor Zhang Jianwu, Huanzhou Governor Huangfu Jin and others blocked the border, controlled the scale of rebellion, and prevented the intervention of the Dangxiang tribe from outside the territory; on the other hand, he ordered General Zhuangwu Dong Zunhui to immediately lead two thousand cavalry to advance westward quickly to quell the rebellion!

After receiving the order, Dong Zunhui immediately went to the guards' personal army and horses to receive the troops, and then quickly set out on the expedition.
