"Your Majesty handed over the crown prince to me. This is my trust in me. I will do my best to teach me all my knowledge to me!"

"That's good. The fifth son Xirang and the sixth son Zongxun are still young. When they grow up, they will also give you the guidance."

"This... what is the virtue of me?"

"Hey, it's not your teacher, so you can teach with confidence and boldness. Besides, you are their uncle, so they can get closer to you."

"yes."

At this moment, Guo Hao could only agree to what Chai Rong said, otherwise if Chai Rong was angry, even if he didn't die, he would probably have no place for him to stay.

"Okay, don't tell anyone what I'm here today. I will issue an order tomorrow and appoint you as the crown prince's tutor as a reward to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The position of the Three Dukes has come to an end in his official position. With his title, Guo Hao is nominally the number one person in the dynasty.

After Chai Rong left, Guo Hao's face suddenly became gloomy. What should Chai Zongyi do? Why did he be soft-hearted at the beginning? It turned out that he was so troublesome!

...

The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. The eunuch came early in the morning and appointed Guo Hao as the prince's tutor, and Pingzhang.

At this point, Guo Hao is the veritable prime minister, the nominal Grand Marshal of the Army and the first Duke of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for other official positions, it is no longer conspicuous.

The appointment was made, and the government was shocked. Some people saw Chai Rong's intention. Being a teacher to the prince was a reward and a test.

Guo Hao received the order, changed his clothes and went to the East Palace. Chai Zongyi was only twelve years old at this time, and it was the time to be naughty. He was very happy to see it.

"Uncle, you are here, let's go ride a horse!"

If it were the past, Guo Hao would have agreed to him and then play with him as much as he wanted, because Guo Hao regarded him as his nephew.

But it is different now. Chai Zongyi is the crown prince, he is the grand tutor, the two are masters and apprentices, and they are also monarchs and ministers, and Guo Hao did not agree to him.

"You should have heard that from today, I will be one of your teachers, and you will learn from me."

"I know, actually I have wanted my uncle to be my teacher for a long time, so that you can tell me stories, teach me horse-riding hunting, and play with me!"

It is normal for children to like to play, but Chai Zongyi has not realized that Guo Hao at this time is different from usual.

"No, from today on, you and I can only study, especially in the palace, and you can't do anything else!"

"What? Reading? I don't want it. I have already taught me how to read. Why not teach me how to practice martial arts!"

Guo Hao shook his head: "I have never learned martial arts. My moves were learned on the battlefield, so I can't teach you!"

“What about telling a story?”

"Not even!"

Chai Zongyi was a little unhappy when he heard that he couldn't play, but Guo Hao wouldn't care so much. Due to his past relationship, Guo Hao wouldn't kill this child, but not killing him was a variable after all, and Guo Hao didn't know how to deal with him.

"This is not OK, that is not OK. Then you should stop coming, uncle. There are enough teachers in the palace!"

When Guo Hao heard Chai Zongyi chase him out, he really wanted to agree, but he couldn't agree because his identity was the teacher and he had to correct the students' behavior and thoughts.

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to play, but you have to complete your studies first!"

As soon as he heard about playing, Chai Zongyi became interested. He knew that his uncle would not disappoint him, so he asked, "Then what are we playing?"

"It depends on what you like!"

“I like to ride horses and fight!”

"Memorize the Analects of Confucius first!"

“…”

Guo Hao didn't know how to deal with Brother Chai Yi for a while, but when Chai Rong was alive, he had to make some achievements, so no matter what method he used, he wanted to let Chai Zongyi study.

...

Guo Hao started his teaching career, but his affairs were far from over. Many people stood up for Guo Hao, including his nine brothers.

Guo Hao did not participate in many wars, but he played a key role every time, especially this time, which allowed him to establish a high prestige among the imperial guards.

In April of the second year of Xiande, Chai Rong issued an edict on the 17th to expand the outer city because of the cramped and narrow nature of Daliang City. He first set up a mark and waited for the slack farming this winter before building construction. The farming process stopped when it started and then waited for the start of the next year to complete it gradually.

He also ordered that the dead people who were buried from now on must leave the city, seven miles away from the mark they were established, and wait for the government to divide the streets, warehouses, yards, barracks and official houses in the mark. In addition, the people will be allowed to build houses at will.

Originally, Chai Rong had the ambition to unify the world, but because of the internal friction of the war, he could only rest and recuperate first, but his thinking on unifying the world did not stop.

On this day, Chai Rong said to the prime minister: "I often think about the strategy of achieving great governance. I have not obtained the key points and cannot forget it even when I sleep or eat.

Since the Later Tang and Later Jin, Wu, Shu, Youzhou, and Bingzhou have been separated and educated, and cannot be unified. The ministers should be ordered to write one article each of "It is difficult to be a minister and is not easy to discuss" and "The Border Strategy". I will read it one by one."

Wang Pujin, the doctor of the Bi tribe, offered a suggestion, saying: "The Central Plains court lost Wu, Shu, Youzhou, and Bingzhou because of the loss of the way to govern the country.

Now we must first examine the fundamental reasons for the loss of land, and then we can know the method of collecting lost land.

When the country began to lose its territory, it was because the monarch was stupid and incompetent, the army was arrogant and the people were poor, the treacherous and the party was very popular in the court, and the powerful generals and warriors were domineering outside, from small to large, and accumulated into small pieces.

Now we have to collect lost land, but we just do the opposite.

To use wise men to repel bad people is a way to collect talents; to give kindness and trust is to unite people;

Rewarding merit and punishing crimes is a way to encourage everyone to contribute; eliminating extravagance and saving expenses is a way to increase wealth; using people's power on time and reducing taxes is a way to make the people rich.

When the wise men gathered together, the political affairs were straightened out, the money was sufficient, the scholars and the people followed, and then they started a military force and used them, there was no unsuccessful success in their achievements!

When the other party sees that our side has a certain victory, those who know the internal situation are willing to be spies, and those who are familiar with mountains and rivers are willing to be guides. The people have already surrendered, and then God will will inevitably obey."

"In general, the method of attack and capture must start from the easy part.

The border between the Southern Tang Dynasty and us is nearly 2,000 miles, and this terrain is easy to harass the other party.

To harass the other party, you should start from a place where you are not prepared. Beware of harassing the west side on the east side. Beware of harassing the east side on the west side. The other party must run around to rescue.

While running around, you can find out the opponent's strength and strength, and then avoid the real and attack the weak, avoid the strong and attack the weak. When there is no need to launch a large attack, use small troops to harass you for the time being.

People in the south are cowardly and timid. I heard that there is a small alarm, and all the troops will be dispatched to rescue them.

Frequent military dispatch will make the people tired and their property exhausted. If the whole country's army does not send out for rescue, we can seize the land in emptiness. In this way, all the states north of the Yangtze River will be occupied by us.

If we get north of the Yangtze River, we can use their people to implement our methods, and it will be easier to seize the south of the Yangtze River.

If you obtain Jiangnan, then the land of Lingnan and Bashu can be passed on to pacify.

Since the south has been pacified, the Yan land will surely be invincible and surrender to the Central Plains; if it does not surrender, it will mobilize the army to attack, and it will be pacified soon like a mat.

Now the soldiers are capable, with complete weapons, and their subordinates are afraid of military law. The generals are willing to serve and can go out in a year. They should accumulate food and grass from summer and autumn to enrich the border."

Chai Rong accepted it happily. At this time, most of the ministers adhered to the rules and were content with peace of mind, and there were few strategies that were desirable.

Only Wang Pu had a graceful expression, strong momentum, wise and able to make decisions. Any planning and suggestions were in line with the wishes of Shizong. Chai Rong therefore valued Wang Pu's temperament and courage. Soon, he was promoted to the left counselor and was aware of Kaifeng Prefecture.

During this period, Guo Hao witnessed a historic moment with his own eyes, and he did not express any opinions. After Li Hongji's death, history seemed to have returned to the right track. The Southern Tang Dynasty must have fought, but it was just a matter of time.

Without the harassment of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Great Zhou recovered its power faster. Neither the Khitan nor the Southern Tang Dynasty made any noise, as if he was afraid of being beaten.
