Guo Hao basically adheres to the principle of not doubting people and not using them when employed people.

But people always have times when they are involuntarily, and there are always people and things they care about the most. Wang Wei is an example.

When Guo Hao attacked Nan Tang, Nan Tang threatened Wang Wei's relatives and asked him to assassinate Guo Hao. If Qiu Nan hadn't been alert, Guo Hao would have already received a box lunch.

At that time, Guo Hao really didn't expect Wang Wei to assassinate him because the two of them didn't fight each other and if Wang Wei hadn't shown mercy, Guo Hao would have died in Nan Tang.

So Guo Hao wanted to reuse him and give him the same status as Li Hui, but Wang Wei's betrayal made Guo Hao alert, and he no longer trusted anyone from then on.

This is the sorrow of the emperor. Even his son is difficult to be on the same side as him. No one understands his ambitions, and he can only move forward alone.

However, compared with some emperors, Guo Hao is considered enlightened. He has both kindness and power, and has clear rewards and punishments. He has allowed Wang Wei to stay in Liaodong for ten years, and now he has completely given him freedom.

Wang Wei understood what Guo Hao meant and knew why he did this. He didn't blame Guo Hao, because if Guo Hao hadn't been killed, his family would have been killed long ago.

Compared with Wang Wei, some founding generals were lucky. Wang Zhengzhong and Liu Shouzhong were both one of the ten brothers of Yishe and were never reused later.

Now that Guo Hao asked them to stay in Liaodong, it was also a heavy responsibility to be promoted to the ranks of generals in one fell swoop, and to the same status as the border generals.

Each of the three led 20,000 troops to guard Liaodong, and established the country with the Jurchen tribe, becoming part of the Song Dynasty.

Such glory makes them feel proud because they expanded their territory for the Song Dynasty and were heroes of the entire country!

Guo Hao gave instructions one by one, and then privately told Wanyan Ji a few words.

"Ji'er, if you want to strengthen your strength, go and win over the East China Sea Jurchens. It is located in a remote place and the Liao Kingdom is neglecting to manage it. You can do it secretly."

"yes."

Wanyan Ji nodded. At this time, he was also full of confidence. Liaodong and the Song Dynasty were not next to each other. Although they belonged to the Song Dynasty, they were also an independent country.

"Next, I will send some officials to help you. If the country is in a long-term state of peace, the people are the fundamentals. If the people want to live and work in peace, they must be fed and well-dressed.

Although you are used to fishing and hunting, farming still has great benefits. You can regard fishing and hunting as a custom, but Liaodong must be comprehensively reformed, otherwise it will be snatched back by the Liao Kingdom sooner or later."

Wanyan Ji nodded again, and he also saw that the reason why the Song Dynasty was powerful was mainly because the country was rich and the people were strong. The soldiers alone were something he had never dared to think about before.

Guo Hao taught Wanyan Ji some methods of governing the country, but he didn't say much about others. For example, science and technology and economy are enough to have the Central Plains, and other regions do not need to develop now.

After everything was arranged, Guo Hao took Abuli, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Bin and others to set off for a return. It was already April, and the rainy season came in a while, and the sea was afraid of being unsafe.

Along the way, Guo Hao landed in Dengzhou and set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty again.

As soon as I got off the boat, I saw two princes headed by them, followed by a group of officials standing on the dock to greet Guo Hao.

"My son pays homage to my father and congratulate me on occupying Liaodong and expanding territory for the Song Dynasty!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

There were compliments for a while, and the titles of Long Live are endless. In addition to officials, there are many ministers.

After a burst of cheers, Guo Hao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at his two sons and said seriously: "Did you ask the minister to welcome me?"

The two brothers were stunned when they heard this. When Wang Pu saw it, he quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, it was the ministers who held it spontaneously and came to congratulate Your Majesty."

Guo Hao looked at everyone after hearing this and found that only three people came to the cabinet, and King Jing Guo Jing did not come, so his face calmed down a little.

"You all ran to Dengzhou, and they were so mobilized to mobilize all the troops. Who will deal with the matters in the court? What if there is anything?"

Guo Hao looked at his two sons and seemed to be scolding them, but in fact he was talking about the ministers.

"You are all my sons and I want to be emperors, but the emperor is not that easy to be an emperor. I will hand over the court to you two so that I can go to war with confidence, but you all ran out!"

Guo Hao was scolding, but no one dared to speak out. In fact, Guo Hao was right. Communication is inconvenient these days and the message was transmitted very slowly. Guo Hao didn't dare to stay too far away from Beijing before, because he was afraid of delaying anything.

Now that the two sons have grown up, they have let them govern the country, and he is leading troops to fight to unify China in his lifetime. As for whether his descendants can defend it, he will not worry.

"Remember, from now on, there will be such a thing. Only one of you can come out, otherwise you will be at home, and I don't need you to answer!"

"yes!"

The two brothers looked ashamed, but Guo Hao said this just to show that he put the country first and attached importance to the two.

After saying this, Guo Hao turned around and nodded at Cao Bin. Cao Bin waved his hand, and some soldiers began to move urns from the ship.

The originally quiet atmosphere became even more solemn. Only then did some people remember that Guo Hao was going to fight this time, and fighting would kill people!

"After a hard time, the swords fell into the surrounding stars. The mountains and rivers were broken and the wind drifted, and the life experience was floating and the rain hit the duckweed.

I am afraid of the beach and sigh in the ocean. Since ancient times, no one has ever died, but I have left my loyalty to shine in history.

Soldiers, you all sacrificed for the Song Dynasty. I will bring you there and bring you back to your fallen leaves.

Now that you are home, I will treat your relatives well. Don’t worry, go all the way!"

“Go along the way!”

The ministers quickly reacted and watched the urns come ashore. The names on them were written on them and would be taken back to Bianliang and buried in the Martyrs Cemetery.

Everyone was filled with tears when Guo Hao's actions saw them, especially the sentence "Leave loyalty to shine in history" that entered everyone's hearts.

Abuli's eyes were wet. It was the first time he saw Guo Hao's gentle side. He loved the people as his sons and treated his soldiers as his brothers. At this time, he was completely different from on the battlefield.

In a sad atmosphere, Guo Hao left the dock. The reason why he did this was that he did not want the world to forget that peaceful life was hard-won.

On the way, Guo Hao and his two sons were in the carriage. Guo Hao leaned inside to read a book, and the two brothers sat upright wherever they were sitting.

"Yao'er, Shun'er, you guys tell me why I sent troops to Liaodong this time, I want to hear your understanding."

Why send troops to Liaodong?

The two brothers looked at each other, Guo Zhiyao was the boss, and Guo Zhishun asked him to answer first.

"Returning to my father, I feel that my father sent troops to Liaodong to expand territory for our Song Dynasty, because Liaodong is remote and the people living in Jurchens, so the Liao Kingdom does not attach much importance to it..."

Guo Zhiyao said a few words, Guo Hao nodded without comment, and then looked at Guo Zhishun, who then spoke.

"Father, my son-in-law thinks that the father sent troops to Liaodong to weaken the power of the Liao Kingdom and use the Jurchens to deal with the Khitans in order to ensure the long-term stability of the Song Dynasty!"

Both of them were right, but they still did not understand Guo Hao's intentions. His sending troops to Liaodong was just the first step. The next step was to gradually erode the Liao Kingdom and eventually unify China!

But people nowadays don’t have the concept of China at all, and no one understands him can accept him. This time he doesn’t want to say too much, because he suddenly feels that if some things are said, many people will not understand them at all.

The team continued to move forward and finally returned to Bianliang. At the gate of the palace, Qiunan and Li Fu were all waiting. Guo Hao left for more than half a year, and they all missed him very much.

Guo Hao got off the carriage, Qiu Nan saw a smile on his face, but when he saw Aburi beside him, a light flashed in his eyes.

"I'll pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Guo Hao's wife and children are all here, Guo Zhiqi is still in his infancy, Zhou Wei holds the child, her eyes looking a little expectant and a little sad.

"Okay, haven't I been back? Thank you for your hard work during this period. Let's go in. I will go to see the ministers later."

Surrounded by everyone, Guo Hao entered the palace. Guo Hao did not say much or introduce Abuli to everyone, but arranged a palace for her directly.

When Aburi saw Guo Hao's women, he didn't say anything, followed behind with his head held high and his chest. His son was the Jurchen king, the first of Guo Hao's many sons to be named king, and he also had real power.
