The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 363 Attracting Guo Chong
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. This is the truth. The more you say this, the more curious they will be.

What was it that made him think it was intentional?Guo Chong didn't care about it and asked directly.

"Brothers have come to this time, what else can't be said, just say it, my brother will definitely remember your good."

Guo Chong has also been in the officialdom for so many years, so he shouldn't be so panicked, but now he has lost his sense of proportion.

First of all, last night when he was drunk, he said something drunk. This matter has not been resolved. He heard that someone in the court was still speaking ill of him behind his back, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Zhao Lin seemed to have made a great decision, and then slowly said:

"Since the eldest brother said so, I will not avoid suspicion. This matter needs to rely on King Jin's efforts, and let him speak for you in the court."

"You must know that King Jin is an imperial envoy this time, and he has personally met you. He knows what kind of person you are. Wouldn't it be better for him to argue in front of the emperor?"

Guo Chong now finally knows why Zhao Lin was embarrassed to say it just now, Zhao Guangyi is the King of Jin
He is the prince of the imperial court. If he defends a border guard, will the emperor consider him colluding with the border general?

Because the imperial court stipulated that the princes were not allowed to lead troops, let alone make friends with frontier generals.

Leaving aside the outcome, it depends on whether Zhao Guangyi can do this for Guo Chong. Does Guo Chong think that Zhao Guangyi has ulterior motives?

Guo Chong knew it as soon as he heard it, and he didn't have any deep friendship with Zhao Guangyi. Don't look at those who call each other brothers at the wine table, but that is the minimum etiquette.

Now asking others to do me a favor, it is not easy for me to speak up, and it is not good for others.

If you do this, you may be misunderstood by the emperor, so why should they help you?
Guo Chong's face was ugly, he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.

"General Guo, if there is anything I can help you, just tell me, you and I don't need to be so estranged? Isn't it just Zhao Lin who said to defend you in front of the emperor, this matter is easy to handle?"

If you, Guo Chong, don’t mention it, I’ll bring it up myself. You can’t bring the whole atmosphere to a stalemate. I’d better take the initiative.

"My lord is really willing to help me?" Guo Chong looked at Zhao Guangyi in disbelief. He was thinking about how to speak just now, but now he said it himself.

"It's not a big deal. Of course, this king can deal with you in the court, so that those villains who slander you can't get what they want."

What Zhao Guangyi said was awe-inspiring, as if he was the only loyal minister in the entire Song Dynasty, and everyone else was a courtier.

As for whether anyone spoke ill of Guo Chong in front of Zhao Kuangyin, only Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Lin knew.

As for Guo Chong's ability to believe it, that's the reason why caring makes chaos, and you will always be a little bit out of place when it comes to yourself.

"Thank you, my lord. My lord will never forget his righteousness in the end of my life. In the future, as long as my lord has any orders, I will never hesitate to die."

Guo Chong was so excited that tears almost filled his eyes, as if a child without a mother suddenly had a mother's love.

"Hey, why does the general have to do this? Is this also because of my great Song Dynasty, and the general doesn't have to be like this."

Zhao Guangyi's acting skills have improved a lot, and now he is really more proficient in dealing with such scenes.

Then the three talked for a long time, and Zhao Guangyi suddenly stood up:
"General Guo chatted with Zhao Lin first. This king is a bit hot and wants to go out for a walk alone. You can continue talking."

As he said that, he went out alone, and only Guo Chong and Zhao Lin were left inside. After Zhao Guangyi was estimated to be far away, Zhao Lin spoke at this time.

"Brother Guo, what do you think of King Jin?"

Guo Chong didn't know why: "The king of Jin has a noble status, and his youth really has a limitless future."

Zhao Lin nodded and smiled when he heard Guo Chong's answer:
"Then what does brother Guo think of the current emperor? Well, brother, don't have any doubts. It's just that we two brothers are chatting in private. I'm not His Majesty's spy, so you don't have to be afraid."

"Since my brother said so, I have nothing to hide. The current emperor is a hero of the generation. Back then, he was a figure like the God of War. I have great admiration for him."

Guo Chong said with a blank face, it is natural to choose good words to comment on an emperor, even if the person in front of him is no matter how familiar he is.

"Haha, I can't see it. Since the elder brother said that, why did the Taizu of the previous court cry again last night? Are you clearly dissatisfied with the current emperor?"

Although Zhao Lin was smiling at this time, what he said was chilling, and Guo Chong froze on the spot.

"Hehe, big brother, but don't worry, we won't talk nonsense, even King Jin will act as if nothing happened, I don't know if big brother understands what I want to say?"

Zhao Lin kept staring at Guo Chong, the smile in those eyes was gone, and there was a cold light in those eyes.

At this time, Guo Chong finally understood what it meant. It was no wonder that Zhao Guangyi and the others were so kind to him just now, and they wanted to express their opinion.

They must have something to drag themselves into the water, but now they have something in their hands.

"Hmph, if Master Zhao has anything to say, just say it. As long as Guo can do it, he will definitely support him. If I can't do it, even if I cut off my head, it will be in vain."

After reacting, Guo Chong didn't have a good face towards this Zhao Lin. This man looked kind, but he didn't expect that he was also a ferocious hungry wolf.

"Good general Guo, please speak quickly. I'll just say it straight. Our prince wants to recruit the general under his command to serve our prince. I don't know what the general means?"

Guo Chong listened to Zhao Lin's words without missing a single word. Did he want to rebel if he asked me to work for Zhao Guangyi?

No, absolutely not. Even if I want the emperor to plead guilty, I can't follow Zhao Guangyi. He is simply the opponent of the current emperor.

Seeing Guo Chong's hesitation, Zhao Lin reached into his bosom and took out a jade pendant:
"If the owner of this jade pendant wants you to do something for my prince, will you agree or not?"

Zhao Lin shook the jade pendant in front of Guo Chong, Guo Chong was dumbfounded.

It turned out that Guo Chong, who was still a little hesitant, immediately agreed when he saw this jade pendant. Since then, he has been labeled as the King of Jin faction.

Zhao Guangyi was also happy for recruiting such a general, so what is the jade pendant that Zhao Lin took out?
