Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1222

And Guo Ye was stunned in every possible way at first, but listening to him, he seemed to have found the crux of why Empress Changsun changed so much today.

Why is she afraid?

Why is she messing around?

Why is she so different?

From Empress Changsun talking to herself, Guo Ye has traces to follow, and seems to have found the root cause of the problem.

While he was depressed that he had acted as a woman's friend, he was also secretly wondering whether he should reveal a little bit of secrets and give Empress Changsun a shot of peace of mind?

Chapter 1042

Guo Ye couldn't bear it for a while, and comforted him softly: "Ahem...Queen, a nightmare is a nightmare after all, how can you take it seriously? Hasn't your qi disease been slowly controlled by the genius doctor Sun Simiao? As for King Wei and His Highness the Crown Prince, you don’t need to worry too much. They were born in the heavenly family, so what’s the problem with being rich and honored all their lives? The queen doesn’t believe that these princes are nothing. grotesque dream."

"Ugh……"

Empress Changsun sighed again, shook her head and said: "Guo Qing said it lightly. Now that the Changsun family is in decline, and this palace cannot remain young and beautiful forever, there will always be a day when your majesty's favor will fade. Now these two The children did not live up to expectations. Not only did they offend the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but they even lost the favor of their father and emperor. Without all the support, how could the two brothers be able to live a prosperous life in the future? Born in the emperor's family, others looked at it with envy , who knows how cruel it is?"

understood!

Empress Changsun felt a sense of crisis because of the downfall of her elder brother Changsun Wuji and the fact that His Majesty Li Er had recently recruited a large number of beautiful Dongying and Korean women.

Coupled with the fact that Prince Li Chengqian has completely lost the qualification to compete for the throne, and his dislike and dislike for Wei Wang Li Tai, this makes Empress Changsun feel even more worried and terrified.

To put it bluntly, Empress Changsun was afraid that the two brothers would end up being bullied and even miserable after losing their backing and reliance.

That's it!

This, it seems, is the real sticking point.

It is said that women are made of water, and that water can conquer all things if they are good, especially women like Empress Changsun, who are not comparable to ordinary women.

Even a big man like His Majesty Li Er, who is a decisive and decisive man, has been repeatedly defeated by her gentle offensive, and all the steel has been refined into soft fingers, let alone a little man among big men like Guo Ye .

Apparently, the helplessness of Empress Changsun was seen in Guo Ye's eyes. Looking at the weak and pitiful appearance of a generation of virtuous queens, Guo Ye's heart was as soft as batter in an instant, and he could no longer harden it.

This secret, if you don't reveal it, you have to reveal it!

Then, Guo Ye gently reminded: "Queen, His Royal Highness Chengqian and King Wei will not be able to inherit His Majesty's mantle and rule in the future, but it doesn't mean that your other son will not be able to."

"Another son?"

Empress Changsun was taken aback for a moment, and then she immediately reacted and said in surprise, "You mean pheasant slave?"

The pheasant slave is the third son born to Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er, who is also known to Guo Ye as the third true son of the Tang Empire—Li Zhi.

Guo Ye nodded noncommittally, and hummed lightly.

Unexpectedly, Empress Changsun nodded again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Guo Qing really likes to joke, the pheasant slave is just learning how to speak, and even walking is a baby who can reach it in three steps, how can he..."

"Empress, you are a fool!"

Guo Ye smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is young, that's right. But the current emperor is also in his prime. After decades, who can guarantee that His Royal Highness will not become a qualified prince of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, education Let's start with the doll!"

"what?"

Empress Changsun let out a soft cry, as if all the clouds and mists she was trapped in were immediately expelled by Guo Ye, and she seemed to come to her senses, and she muttered in a daze: "Education should start with children? Guo Qing's words are new, but Bengong can understand, you are asking Bengong to cultivate pheasant slaves from now on, don't let him follow the old path of his two elder brothers, no matter in terms of temperament or ability to govern the country, work hard to train him, so that He will become the future heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Queen, you are holy!"

Seeing Empress Changsun say all the things she didn't say, Guo Ye flattered her a little, and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I mean. Think about it, now the emperor is in the prime of life, and the pheasant Your Highness Nu is still young. Everything is not as bad as you imagined, Queen. Moreover, His Royal Highness Ji Nu is the son of you and the current emperor. , Who else do you think can replace him in the future? As for His Royal Highness Cheng Qian and King Wei, that would be easier."

Speaking of this, Guo Ye shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "As long as they know how to keep their duties and be respectful as brothers and sisters, will His Royal Highness Chinu allow his two brothers to suffer? Therefore, I said that the two Highnesses In the future, you will be rich and honorable.”

Empress Changsun nodded again and again, she seemed to be persuaded by Guo Ye, and her expression was not as worried as before.

Suddenly, Empress Changsun blinked her shining eyes, looked at Guo Ye and asked, "Guo Qing, how can you be sure that Pheasant Nu will be able to keep his two elder brothers rich and safe in the future?"

"Uh……"

This is really hard to answer.

Guo Ye was a little troubled, and he muttered to himself, can I tell you that your youngest son will be awesome in the future, not only the third generation successor of the Tang Dynasty, but also doing a lot of amazing things?Did I tell you that your youngest son pried away Wu Meiniang, the talented woman that his father, His Majesty Li Er, slept with?

Obviously can't say!

Besides, no one would believe it, and Empress Baobuqi Changsun would treat him as a lunatic, or directly refute him with the phrase he just said, "Speaking without words, strange power and chaos".

But fortunately, he has a clever mind, and he came up with the words to deal with the back and forth of an idea, and responded with a smile: "Queen, let's not say that His Royal Highness has gone through all kinds of hardships from your October pregnancy to his birth, and was even almost killed. The emperor ordered someone to kill you to save your life, the empress. What is this called? This is called the heaven will send a great mission to the people, do you agree with this statement?"

"This... counts!"

Empress Changsun reluctantly nodded, this statement is reasonable.

She continued to stare blankly at Guo Ye, waiting for his next words.

But Guo Ye really couldn't make it up, so he could only shrug his shoulders again, and said cheerfully, "Queen, besides Your Highness Pheasant Slave, do you have any choice?"

"Is there still a choice for this Palace?"

Empress Changsun asked herself, that's right, besides trying to train the pheasant slave to be a qualified heir, is there any choice for this palace?In the current situation, the two brothers will only have to rely on the pheasant slave in the future.

Then, Empress Changsun suddenly said solemnly: "Guo Qing, I have a merciless request from my palace!"

"Queen, I know what you're going to say!"

Guo Ye seemed to have guessed what Empress Changsun wanted to say, with a rather veiled smile on his face, he asked back: "Do you know why the Supreme Emperor recruited me to conspire with him to rebel, but the minister firmly refused?"

Empress Changsun quickly replied: "That's because Guo Qing is loyal to His Majesty."

"That's right!"

Guo Ye raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Qinzheng Hall, which is far away from the Ganlu Hall, and said with a smile: "To be precise, Guo Ye is only loyal to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Ye is only responsible for the future of the Tang Empire. Empress, do you understand me?"

Empress Changsun is a smart person, and she understood the causal relationship Guo Ye said.At the same time, I also understand that if my pheasant slave wants to get Guo Ye's support, he must sit on the dragon chair that represents the Ninth Five-Year Lord and the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty.

But today's pheasant slaves are so big, it is still unknown whether the throne will be the throne or not.What she needs now is that Guo Ye can help and support the pheasant slave on his way to the throne in the future.

For a moment, her face showed loneliness and disappointment.

Seeing this, Guo Ye slowly got up and left the futon, cupped his hands and said: "Queen, the morning court is about to leave. If your majesty sees the humble minister meeting you in private after retreating from the court, it will not cause you trouble and suspicion. Therefore, the humble minister should Leave as soon as possible, I will leave!"

After all, Guo Ye walked to the door of the Buddhist hall, regardless of Empress Changsun's desire to speak but stopped trying to persuade her to stay.

"Ugh……"

Another helpless and helpless sigh came from the mouth of Empress Changsun.
