Chapter 18 The Queen's Nanny

Guo Wei accepted Feng Dao's suggestion, but Guo Wei still had a little doubt.

"Taishi, if the throne falls into the hands of the Shatuo clan, their power is not weak. What if they attack Guo under the banner of the emperor, how should they deal with it?"

Feng Dao smiled indifferently, "Lord, the Shatu people returned to the Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago and became the dolls of the imperial court and continued to fight. At that time, the Shatu people were only 30,000. Over the years, the Shatu people have withered and lost their successors. As long as the lord temporarily stabilizes the hearts of the people and then eliminates them one by one or two years, the world will naturally be able to settle down. At that time, the emperor will be natural and there will be no obstacles!"

Old Feng Dao outlined the entire step, and Ye Hua nodded frequently when he heard it. He was worthy of being an old fox, and his methods were amazing.

The Shatuo soldiers existed as mercenaries. In the hands of Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, their power reached its peak. However, they fought for years and suffered serious internal losses. The powerful soldiers and generals either died or were old and unbearable.

In the Later Jin and Later Han dynasties, the national power was getting worse day by day, and the territory was obviously worse than that of the Later Tang Dynasty, which was a clear proof of the decline of the Shatuo people.

Since this is the general trend, it is better to wait for a few years to let the Shatu people naturally withdraw from the stage of history.

With the current Central Plains, nothing is as important as rest and recuperation. If you keep fighting, even if you win, it will consume the people's strength and shake the country's foundation. In a word, you can't afford to toss!

Guo Wei thought about it over and over again and finally nodded, "Old Master, do you think who will succeed to the throne?"

Feng Dao grabbed his beard and thought for a while and said, "The late emperor also has a son named Liu Chengxun. He was once the prefect of Kaifeng. He supported him as the throne, which is legitimate. Moreover, this person is in poor health and easy to control. What does the lord think?"

Guo Wei's face looked very bad and shook his head slightly.

"Old Master, Liu Chengxun is dead!"

"ah!"

Feng Dao was shocked, "I saw him a few months ago. Although I was weak, I didn't die yet. Why?"

Guo Wei smiled bitterly, "It's Brother Xiufeng. A few days ago, his men chased and suppressed the rebellion around Liu Chengxun's mansion, which made a big noise and scared Liu Chengxun to death."

Ye Hua blinked, he couldn't understand what kind of pursuit and suppression of rebellion? It was obvious that Wang Jun fell in love with Liu Chengxun's house and family business, so he deliberately killed the person so that he could take advantage of the situation and dominate it.

Although Ye Hua also agreed to search for corrupt officials and confiscate their property for military purposes, it would be too much to kill a very valuable prince.

This old guy Wang Jun is simply disrespectful, which means that Mr. Guo has a big temper. If he were to be someone else, he might have to punish him severely.

Ye Hua secretly warned himself not to get involved with Wang Jun.

When he thought about this, Feng Dao seemed very unhappy. The best piece was gone, and only Liu Zhiyuan's nephew was left.

"Lord, how about Liu Yun?"

When talking about Liu Yun, Guo Wei frowned. This person was the nephew of Liu Zhiyuan, the Emperor Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty. He was later adopted as his adopted son. He was the cousin of Liu Chengyou. He is currently the governor of Xuzhou.

Liu Yun is young and not worth mentioning, so it is appropriate to let him be the emperor.

But the problem is that Liu Yun's biological father is not a good man. This person's name is Liu Chong, and he is the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty. After Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne, he appointed Liu Chong as the governor of Hedong and was in charge of Jinyang.

Since Li Keyong, Hedong Town has been a place where many powerful soldiers and famous generals emerge. It is the base camp of Shatuo people. It has the strongest combat power and cannot be underestimated.

What is even more unsettling is that Hedong is backed by the Khitan. If necessary, it can lead the Khitan troops southward. The two forces are united, which can simply change the dynasty.

The person Guo Wei feared the most was Liu Chong, who regarded him as the biggest stumbling block to becoming emperor.

If Liu Chong's son was allowed to inherit the throne and the father and son joined forces, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?

"Old teacher, Liu Yun is not worth worrying about, but what about Liu Chong? That's a wolf!"

Seeing Guo Wei worried, Feng Dao smiled slightly, "Lord, if Liu Yun was not allowed to succeed to the throne, Liu Chong would be unscrupulous. But once his son became the emperor, Liu Chong would be worried about gains and losses and worry about him. I think even in order to deal with Liu Chong, he should let Liu Yun succeed to the throne first."

"What about the court? What if Liu Yun summoned Liu Chong to the court to assist me, wouldn't it be a waste of me?"

Feng Dao shook his head, "No, the lord still has someone in his hand."

"who?"

"Empress Li!"

...

Feng Dao and Guo Wei were talking, but Ye Hua had no room to interrupt, but just observed silently and kept thinking. He finally saw the skills of old Feng Dao. Facing Master Feng, Ye Hua felt that his IQ was not enough for the first time.

Grandma, don’t think that you can play with the ancients as a time traveler. You were just a commoner in your previous life, and your vision was just that.

But Feng Dao was able to survive in the most chaotic times. With this skill, he was able to stand out for two thousand years and kill ten thousand Ye Hua in seconds.

Feng Dao's advice to Guo Wei was like this. First of all, respect Empress Dowager Li and ask Empress Dowager Li to appoint Guo Wei as the governor. In this way, Guo Wei can be justified and take charge of the power of civil and military affairs.

Even if Liu Yun is welcomed into Kaifeng, he is just a puppet emperor and doesn't have to care.

If Liu Yun wanted to combine his father Liu Chong to compete for power, Guo Wei used Empress Dowager Li to suppress Liu Yun. If necessary, he could even let the Empress Dowager rule the country behind the curtain.

Someone wants to ask, will Empress Dowager Li listen to Guo Wei?

She can't help but not listen!

Although Liu Yun is her adopted son, her own parents are there. Once Liu Yun truly takes power, Empress Dowager Li will only be driven to the cold palace and live a lonely life, and end up in a miserable fate.

What's more, there are many people in the Li family, and Guo Wei can hold them in his hands and then control Empress Dowager Li.

In short, even if Liu Yun became the emperor, he could not threaten Guo Wei.

On the contrary, when Liu Yun becomes the emperor, Liu Chong will have fantasies and will not be enemies with Guo Wei at all. When the time is right, Guo Wei can cut off Hedong Town, eliminate Liu Chong, and clear the biggest obstacle...

There is no doubt that Feng Dao planned the most stable and effective way to ascend the throne for Guo Wei.

Guo Wei pondered for a while, stood up and thanked, "The old teacher is really my son's house, but Liu Yun's son may not be willing to go to Beijing. The old teacher thought what should I do?"

Feng Dao thought for a while and said, "If the lord doesn't dislike me, let me go. A few years ago, when Liu Yun was in Beijing, he studied with me for several months. It was considered as a teacher-student friendship. He could still listen to me when I went there."

"Then I will be the only one who can do it!"

I have to say that after this time, Guo Wei was very respectful and respectful to Feng Dao. He wrote to Empress Dowager Li, and in addition to still granting Feng Dao the title of Grand Tutor, he also added the title of Secretary of the Secretariat, appointed him as the imperial envoy, led civil and military officials to Xuzhou to welcome Liu Yun to the succession to the throne.

After Guo Wei talked with Feng Dao, he was in a good mood and refreshed mood.

"The state affairs are over, it's time to talk about family affairs." Guo Wei smiled and pulled Ye Hua over, "My nephew, Brother Xing is always crying, and they are helpless. I have to come and ask my aunt for help."

Brother Xing is Xiao Guo’s name. Guo Wei’s two sons who died were named Qing Ge, and the second son was named Yi Ge. Xiao Guo is a concubine’s son. He has not been recorded in the family tree and does not even have a formal name.

After Guo Wei entered Beijing, he immediately named his son Xingge and included it in the Guo family genealogy.

"Shouyu has gone, and all the newcomers in the mansion are not trustworthy. I am nearly fifty years old, and only by entrusting my aunt with such a little bit of flesh can I feel at ease. If the child makes any mistakes, I really don't know how to face the ancestors of the Guo family!"

Speaking of this, does Ye Hua dare to refuse?

He led Guo Wei to Ye's ward. The old lady had recovered a lot and was able to walk around the yard. When the maid brought Brother Xing over, the old lady frowned at a glance.

"How did you raise your children to lose weight? You were so careless!"

Ye was distressed and immediately ordered Ye Hua to get a bowl of milk and pour it on Brother Xing.

It’s true that the little guy opened his mouth obediently and drank it whispered, not to mention how sweet it was. Guo Wei was so happy that he slapped his hands repeatedly and said excitedly: “Auntie, this child is always destined to be with you!”

Ye Hua lowered his head and said to himself: "I think he is destined to be a big yellow dog!"
