Chapter 644 (2/2)
When Guo Weidong raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Zimu take off his cloak, cover him and gently help him tie the rope at the collar.
He was warm and tolerant by the cloak with body temperature, as if in such a snowy day, Xiao Zimu came with a bright spring sun and covered him softly.
The severe cold in the world was pushed back thousands of miles away by Xiao Zimu, and he was the warm sun that melted the ice and snow, rising in front of Guo Weidong, dispelling the haze of his childhood.
Xiao Zimu smiled at him gently, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned to look at imperial concubine Li: ”the picture of the empress is not the military power of old general Zhao.”
Xiao Yanjun immediately pointed to him, ”Xiao Zimu, you are presumptuous! You can't talk nonsense.”
Guo Weidong heard the speech and quietly remembered the name. The person who gave only a little warmth to others was Xiao Zimu.
”After the battle of Hu's army attacking the city last year, the fourth brother was just at the time of the marriage of the king. Unfortunately, his father sent General Shi to help Han Yang. If the Zhao family army was destroyed and general Shi arrived, once stationed, whose military power would fall to?” Xiao Zimu's words changed the complexion of those ministers who had just been denounced.
”You are so bloody that your father sent troops...” Xiao Yanjun suddenly paused here. He remembered that it was the mother's concubine who blew the pillow wind.
His complexion was slightly stiff. After a stiff, he shouted louder, as if to increase his confidence in speaking: ”that's also the father's idea. It's a pure coincidence.”
What Xiao Zimu said was all the cause and effect told him in early summer. It really happened in his last life.
After the fall of the Zhao family army and the fall of Han Yang, Guo Weidong led a team back to the mountains, protected some people and went to the nearby Qingcheng, where he united the city garrison to resist the enemy.
Until general Shi came, although he lost Han Yang in the end, he somehow guarded Qingcheng and didn't let Hu Army march in. Later, Guo Weidong slowly promoted himself to general and completely replaced Zhao Jiajun.
Although Xiao Zimu can stand scrutiny, it can only be regarded as speculation after all.
Imperial concubine Li's game is too big and linked. It's hard for the officials to believe that she has such ambition and strategy.
”The empress said she had no reason to do so, but if she hadn't ordered and helped me, how could I do all this on my own?” Standing behind Xiao Zimu, Guo Weidong suddenly looked up and asked in a deep voice to meet the eyes of the people.
All officials couldn't help thinking deeply. Guo Weidong's words are true. If this is true, it can't be the bitter meat trick made by General Zhao himself. This sacrifice is too big. More importantly, General Zhao doesn't have this necessity at all.
Xiao mubai had previously been in Dali temple and confirmed that Zhao Jiajun's soldiers were drugged, Houshan's array was broken and crossbows were damaged. These were mentioned in the military newspaper later sent back to Beijing.
This collaboration with the enemy should be true, but Guo Weidong can't do it alone. Why should Hu Guo believe that he is an illegitimate son.
”Empress, the motives and benefits of the correspondence between witness Guo Weidong and material evidence have been made clear by your highness Qi just now. In any case, you will have to go to Dali temple this time.” Kong Changhui held his head high and insisted on taking concubine Li to Dali temple for criminal trial.
All civil and military officials were silly. To be fair, it was enough to take them to Dali temple.
After all, the reason for the letter was too far fetched. It was understandable that Kong Changhui really wanted to put her in prison.
But didn't Kong Changhui really see the current situation?
Inside and outside the palace, it seems that they are firmly in the hands of concubine Li's mother and son
