Chapter 441 Chain reaction
The next day, Li Hui came to report to Guo Hao that the origin of the assassins was too secret and no clues were left.
After hearing this, Guo Hao thought in his heart that many people knew about his going south, but his whereabouts were very secret. He did not tell anyone except the previous magistrate.
The magistrate was not abnormal, and Guo Hao did not make things difficult for him. It was impossible for him to assassinate Guo Hao because of this. Those dead soldiers were not cultivated by ordinary people.
In this way, someone must be manipulating all this behind the scenes. If it weren't for the Liao Kingdom, it must be someone within the court, and this person is still very powerful.
There are many people in the Song Dynasty now. To be precise, several forces formed the court, and Guo Hao is the greatest strength.
In addition to Guo Hao's power, there are also forces controlled by Ang Lee. Ang Lee and Li Fu are in the same camp, so Guo Hao supports Qiu Nan to compete with him.
In addition to these three forces, there are the old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Although many old people have passed away, there are still people of Guo Wei and Guo Wei's descendants.
Regarding the motives for assassinating Guo Hao, these people have them, and there is never a relationship between power struggles. If Guo Hao dies, the one who succeeds the throne will definitely be his son.
With Ang Lee's personality, it is possible to do such a thing, but Guo Hao has not clearly stated who to be the crown prince now, so this move is very unwise. Ang Lee is not confused yet.
As for Qiunan, her only reliance is Guo Hao. Without Guo Hao, it would be difficult for her to compete with Ang Lee unless Ang Lee dies and Li Fu falls out of favor.
So it is impossible for both parties to be. The only suspicion is the descendants of the Guo family. Now Guo Zhiyu is by his side. If something happens to Guo Hao, Guo Zhiyu will have the opportunity to accept the order in danger and inherit the throne.
Guo Zhiyu is Guo Yongning's son, and Guo Yongning is Guo Wei's only bloodline. If he wants to settle down, he must reuse the people of the Guo family.
Another point is that Guo Zhiyu has a weak personality and is easy to control. Once he inherits the throne, the Song Dynasty may be controlled by Guo Wei’s descendants!
Thinking of this, Guo Hao couldn't help but think of Brother Guo Ding from Bianliang City and Chai Zongxun from Fangzhou. Both of them were suspicious, and Guo Hao had to be careful.
"Li Hui, please send someone to keep an eye on King Zheng and King Wu, and at the same time pay attention to your back. I did not tell anyone else the route this time to see if anyone follows me."
"yes!"
Although he suspected the two, Guo Hao had no evidence now. Even if it was really done by the two, Guo Hao could not openly touch the two.
Especially Brother Guo Ding, who has been a lunatic for more than ten years. If he pretends, it would be terrible...
...
Bianliang, the Palace of King Wu.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you again."
Guo Yanhan brought Li Jilong to the palace, but did not see Brother Guo Ding. The two searched everywhere in confusion, but even the maid and servant said they didn't see it.
Guo Yanhan was a little strange and thought to herself that my uncle is going out?
When the two came to the garden, Brother Guo Ding suddenly jumped out from behind the rockery, which scared them.
"Hahaha, you can't find me, it's fun, you haven't found me!"
When Guo Yanhan saw Brother Guo Ding, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, a man dressed in a slave came over and saluted the two of them.
"I have seen the princess, princess, and the old slave has been following the prince. Please rest assured."
When Guo Yanhan saw that old slave, he didn't care. Brother Guo Ding was a prince after all, so it was normal for some servants to be.
Although these people were very secretive, Ang Lee could still see that even though he had some confidants in the court over the years, he was still a little worse than Qiu Nan.
At the Duke's Mansion, Ang Lee came to Guo Zhishun.
"This time your father went south, and he also brought your third brother and the Princess Lanling with him. Qiunan would definitely not be idle and would take the opportunity to win over the ministers.
Go back and tell your mother that she can’t do nothing. Next we must know who the enemy is, otherwise you won’t even have the chance to fight back!”
Guo Zhishun nodded. In fact, he and Guo Zhiyao appeared kind, and that was for others to see. The two of them were competing secretly, so it was impossible to stop.
Guo Hao asked them to assist the government at the same time, just to make them compete fairly, but there was never fairness in this world, and he saw what some ministers did.
"Grandpa Don't worry, I have discussed with Lord Lu. When my father comes back this time, I will ask for the order to go to the northwest to take down the Hexi Corridor.
If my father wants to restore the territory of the Western Regions, then I will realize his wish. I now understand that the greatest power of the Song Dynasty is not the ministers in the court, but the soldiers on the border!"
Ang Lee was very pleased that Guo Zhishun could think so. It seemed that he finally understood the key point of the matter, and power emerged from the gun!
"Okay, I'm relieved. The reason why your father was able to stand invincible is because the generals supported him.
Although he valued literati over the years, he always held military power in his hands. Whoever can take this big flag from him in the future will be the future emperor!"
