Although Guo Yingjie did not die in Shanzhou, Longyou, as the eldest son of Guo Zhiyun's title, he was also famous in Longyou. After the personnel dispute finally came to an end, Du Shiyi ordered Zhang Xing to instruct Guo Jian to change Guo Zhiyun's old house into a mourning hall, and to worship all the tablets of the children who died in battle over the years or who died of illness in the early years, and to hold a ceremony to a date. In addition to the soldiers of the army, the people were also allowed to go to pay tribute.

Guo Jian was originally a little reluctant to do this. He has been helping and kindling his forces in the Guo family for months and suppressing Guo Ying's relationship. By the way, even those who are close to Guo Zhiyun secretly curbed him in order to establish his position as the new core of the Guo family. Du Shiyi wanted to change Guo Zhiyun's old house into a mourning hall, and first of all, Guo Zhiyun and Guo Yingjie and his son would worship it. If the Guo family's children who have suffered a lot of trouble during the ceremony would cause any trouble in it, he would definitely lose face.

However, Du Shiyi, who governed Longyou, established considerable prestige through consecutive personnel changes. He could not refuse to disobey such things, otherwise he would be spitted to death by the spits of the Guo family and even the people of Longyou. Therefore, he had no choice but to do so. Sure enough, as the sacrificial hall was gradually completed, there was indeed some sign of undercurrents in the Guo family. While he was secretly annoyed, he sent someone to investigate, and while he personally went to Du Shiyi to express his feelings, he unexpectedly said another sentence instead of instructing him to continue to rectify.

"Three days later, it will be a good day for memorial service. At that time, I will go to the sacrificial hall of the Heroes Hall to worship Marshal Guo and General Guo. You can prepare it."

Guo Jianying could not resist, so he had to take the order and left. As soon as he left, Wang Zhong came. The two were named the chief and deputy generals of the Lintao Army, but Wang Zhongsi was just a first-timer. After all, he often traveled to the Shanzhou Governor's Office while training troops. It seemed to be helping the training of the palace guards, but in fact, with the help of Chen Han and Ma Jie, two Shanzhou people, he established his own team in the Lintao Army. Although this step was carried out very slowly, it was steady. For months, with his prestige and the introduction of Chen Huang and Ma Jie, he had already mastered a considerable number of Lintao Army troops.

At this moment, as soon as Wang Zhongsi entered Qiangzhai, he asked directly: "It is said that the Guo family's Ying Mourning Hall was built at the instructor of the Grand Marshal? I have found out in the past few days that several families of the Guo family have frequent messengers in Chang'an. It is obvious that they have some contact with Guo Ying. If something goes wrong at the ceremony..."

"Guo Yingjie died in battle, and the court had a generous pension, and even benefited Guo Ying, who should have been punished. Although I am extremely strict with the unworthy children of the Guo family, I have never been stingy with the appointment of those talented and brave men in the Guo family. This is all well known to all the soldiers and people in Shanzhou. On the contrary, Guo Jian was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and used the power I gave him to differentiate and suppress the tribe's people, and he was worried that the people in the Guo family would hate him to the core. Holding a ceremony was my praise for the loyalty and courage of the Guo family. Even if you make a fortune by tying a crying spirit and causing trouble, you can see the people's hearts. To be honest, just yesterday, Chang'an just sent another message."

When Wang Zhongsi saw Du Shiyi say this, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but the next moment, he heard Du Shiyi sneer.

"Guo Ying was transferred back to Chang'an to be a general. At first, he had been in a wine shop and was drunk and was so decadent that he was drunk and dreaming. But recently he suddenly cheered up and generously donated money to make friends with generals of the Sixteen Guards. Do you think if there was no opportunity for this, he would have been like this?"

Although Wang Zhongsi had only seen Guo Ying a few times, the last time he witnessed the case where this person really fell, in his eyes, Guo Zhiyun was undoubtedly the same as the typical example of those arrogant generals. Therefore, since Du Shiyi said that Guo Yingjie suddenly became unpredictable, he said thoughtfully: "Guo Yingjie's father and brother are dead, and there is another second brother who does not take it into his eyes. Chang'an has no relatives and friends, and the old servant will never listen to it. Since this is the case, his turning point must be because someone promised or instigated. In short, there is indeed suspiciousness."

"Yes, it's better to lose it than to block it. If it's still not possible, I'll just sell him a flaw."

Du Shiyi signaled Wang Zhongsi to follow him to the sand table near the wall map, and suddenly pointed heavily at one of the points with his hand: "I am going to patrol the Chiling Border Monument on a day."

"What day? How many soldiers will lead there?"

Du Shiyi replied lightly: "I will announce it on a small scale on the day of the festival. As for accompanying you, half of the accompanying you will be drawn from the guards."

Wang Zhongsi was immediately shocked. The Chiling Border Monument can be said to be closer to Tubo than Shibao City. If Tubo really moves because of this, he will encounter great danger in a flash.

"Zhongsi, the Tubo envoy, Na Nang's clan Shang Qing, has returned from Chang'an and will probably arrive in Lanzhou in the near future." Seeing Wang Zhongsi a little surprised, Du Shiyi added, "According to the merchants who went to Chengfeng Shuhu Mui Market, some of the Tubo soldiers stationed in Jishishan, some of the generals were very dissatisfied with the peace talks between the two countries, and believed that they should do their best to regain Shibao City, which is the Zhenwu Army, so they have been doing their best to inquire about the news from Shanzhou."

When Wang Zhongsi saw Du Shiyi staring at him, he immediately woke up and said, "Since the commander said that, I will prepare immediately."

"With Zhongsi you are here, I can rest assured."

On the day of the festival, people rushed over in front of the mourning hall from early in the morning. Although most of them were soldiers in the army, there were also many people in Shanzhou. When Zhang Jiu and other old soldiers came together, the Guo children arranged by Guo Jian at the door were in different moods. These were the most trusted guards of Guo Zhiyun back then, but Guo Ying was excluded as soon as he left, and Guo Ying even abandoned them. The Guo children who were convicted of this before were even so bold that they planned to burn other people's houses. Even if they couldn't get in touch with them, this was really not a matter of long-term conspiracy.

Therefore, when Zhang Jiu and the other two worshiped in front of the many rankings, Zhang Jiu suddenly cried bitterly, and there was a silence around him.

"The Grand Marshal was alive in the past, and he ruled the three armies, and all the civil and military officials were obeyed. There were no known many officers among the three armies promoted by the Grand Marshal himself, but after the Grand Marshal went to the place, the Grand Marshal was transferred to another place. The Guo family in Shanzhou was no longer the grand occasion of the Grand Marshal's life. He was jealous of the great power of the Grand Marshal and arrogant. The reputation that the Grand Marshal gained on the battlefield for decades was destroyed by those unworthy children."

This cry of pointing at the monk and cursing the thief bald made many of the Guo family's children angry. Even Guo Jian, who had arrived early this morning, was also embarrassed and always felt that he had scolded him. However, although Zhang Jiu is still an old soldier, he can enter and exit the governor's office in Shanzhou. It is said that even Du Shiyi, who is in Longyou, is very respectful to him. So Guo Jian could only treat this unreasonable old guy as if he had not heard it, but in his heart he scolded this unreasonable old guy half to death.

No wonder Guo Ying can't tolerate it

However, after crying that Guo’s unworthy family, Zhang Jiu wiped his eyes and kowtowed again, and then continued: “Fortunately, the general of the general is in heaven and has a spirit. Knowing that only relying on the past, the Guo family will gradually show decline. Now all the unworthy children of the Guo family have been resigned, but those who are talented in the past have been neglected and put on hold in the past are now appointed. From the general of the Lintao Army, to the deputy general of the Momen Army, to the deputy general of the Jishi Army, and to the general of the many subordinate generals, the generals of the brigade general, within three or five years, the Guo family will definitely be able to produce several famous generals that the Helong army and the people of Helong have relished. Now, the general of Du changed the old house of the general to a mourning hall to worship the heroic spirit of the Guo family. I hope that the heroic spirit will be above and the Guo family will be prosperous for the long martial arts.

If Zhang Jiu's words in front were angry and annoyed, then the words in the back undoubtedly made everyone feel very comfortable. The ones Guo Jian brought them today were all those who are now appointing people. Zhang Jiu said that there were a few famous generals among them who could make a sound like a shock to Helong, who wouldn't be secretly proud of it? As for asking Marshal Guo to bless them with Wu Yun and Changlong, they were even more secretly happy that this old man was too conscious of the times.

"Master Du is here"

Before Zhang Jiu and others could help each other to get up from the ground, a voice came from outside. Guo Jian didn't care about these old soldiers in Shanzhou for a while, and hurriedly called people out to greet him. When he respectfully welcomed Du Shiyi in, he saw the new Longyou Jiedu saluting incense and saluting. Most of the people present at Guo felt their faces shining, especially Guo Jian, who looked at everyone with the expression of "I invited Marshal Du to come, and looked at everyone with a proud and full of compassion. However, just as he was proud, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Master Du forced Guo Sanlang to leave Huangshui, Shanzhou, and sentenced me, three of my Guo family members to three years in prison. Now that he is here to pay homage to Marshal Guo, isn't he injustice?"

Du Shiyi turned around and saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes at the door with resentment on his face. There were a few people following him. He looked around the sacrificial hall and saw that most of them showed uneasy and even angry expressions, he said calmly: "Master Guo has been there for many years, and Guo Dalang sacrificed his life not long ago. Therefore, Your Majesty pity the heroes of the Guo family, and then transferred Guo Sanlang back to Beijing to be promoted to General of the Sixteen Guards. The so-called Guo Sanlang left Huangshui sadly. Could it be that you are questioning Your Majesty's fault that this is not a special kindness, but a demotion?"

The middle-aged man was Guo Zhiyun's cousin, Guo Ying and cousin Guo Zhili. He came with hatred and said only one sentence, and was caught by Du Shiyi. Even if he was furious, he would not dare to say anything anymore. Seeing that his young and energetic nephews could not help but be excited, he had to reach out to stop him, and then said word by word: "Mayor Du dared to say in front of the spirit of the Marshal Guo that he has treated me, the Guo family's children in the past few months since he took office?"

"How come Marshal Du didn't treat the children of the Guo family well?" This time, Guo Jian quickly stood up and expressed his position. He almost copied all the words Zhang Jiu had just said, and counted the children of the family who were now being appointed. When Guo Zhili was in a hurry and said with a sentence that these were all sidelines, he immediately showed a stern look and said with a stern expression, "Uncle Jiu is so ridiculous, Marshal Guo was not the legitimate branch of the clan in the past. Now everyone can't write the two characters Guo in one stroke. Where did the direct lineage of the lineage come from? Could it be that we have been fighting bravely in the Shanzhou army for many years, and you actually regard us as an outsider?"

Du Shiyi watched coldly, and saw that Guo Zhili was immediately noticed by thousands of people. He didn't know that these so-called Guo family members who used to be relied on Guo Zhiyun and Guo Ying were originally unpopular. This is the Guo family affairs. He stood by and saw that Guo Zhili had encountered many accusations, and finally took his nephew away. He said to Guo Jian: "General Guo, after today's ceremony, you come to the Governor's Mansion to Town Qiangzhai. I will go to inspect the Chiling Monument soon, and some military affairs will be discussed with you."
