Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1718

After leaving the court that day, Guo Ye was just about to go home when he was stopped by a young eunuch and said, "Duke Qin, go slowly, Your Majesty is here to invite you!"

Generally, the emperor's decree has to be said to be announced or recruited. This time he said a word of invitation, which is extremely polite.

In Wangbei Pavilion, besides His Majesty Li Er, Guo Ye also met the long-lost Empress Changsun.Empress Changsun had just recovered from a serious illness, her face was pale, and she looked a little weak, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

Guo Ye saluted and said: "See my emperor's long live, long live, long live. See the queen's empress for a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

"Duke Qin, please stand up!" Empress Changsun stood up and said, "Duke Qin is my savior, so there is no need to be polite."

As soon as Empress Changsun called her back, the little eunuch brought a wooden stool.After Guo Ye sat down, His Majesty Li Er said: "Guo Aiqing, thanks to you, the lives of my two closest relatives can be saved this time. It is our husband and wife who specially express our gratitude to you for inviting you here today!"

His Majesty Li Er thanked him so sincerely, Guo Ye felt a little embarrassed for a while, and said: "This is entirely a matter of humble ministers, your Majesty need not be like this!"

"A matter of duty? It's easy to say!" His Majesty Li Er sneered, and said: "If the courtiers can complete their duties like Duke Qin, my Tang Dynasty would have cleared the sea and the river."

Guo Ye thought to himself, why did he change his face so quickly?And doesn't that sound right?He said: "Your Majesty, why did you say that? Did someone make you angry?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "It is true that someone has made me angry. Hehe, the servant is dishonest, that's a good word! I'm here to ask you, what do you think of Wei Guogong Li Jing?"

"Duke Wei is my military god of the Tang Dynasty. He has always been loyal to His Majesty, and he has worked hard without complaint. It is well-known in the court!"

"Then do you think...is it possible for Duke Wei to serve the king dishonestly?"

Hearing this, Guo Ye's heart turned, and he wondered if Li Jing's little thought had been guessed by His Majesty Li Er?

He asked: "Your Majesty, please be careful! Wei Guogong has served you for so many years and has made countless achievements. If there is no solid evidence, then doubt him..."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, interrupted Guo Ye's words, and said, "Of course I have evidence! Wei Guogong, Guanyin's maidservant, and King Yan all took the elixir of immortality, and they were all awakened by your prescription. Why is it that everyone else is safe and sound, but Wei Guogong is disabled? Do you think he is pretending to be sick?"

One hundred secrets!

Guo Ye was so concerned about how to dig a hole for Sun Fujia to jump, he didn't expect that there was such a big loophole in this operation!

He thought for a while, and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is different from the empress, and even more incomparable with the thousand-year-old king of Yan. The king of Yan is in his teens this year, and the empress is only in her 30s this year. And the Duke of Wei This year is sixty. Seventy is rare in life, even if he is not poisoned, how long can he live? After the empress is poisoned, he can recover, which does not mean that Wei Guogong can also."

After a pause, Guo Ye made another metaphor, saying: "Even if an old man eats one melon or fruit, he may suffer from diarrhea and die. However, even if a young person eats ten or eight melons, he will not die. No problem. The melons and fruits are the same melons and fruits, the people who eat them are different, and the results are also different."

"I hope so!" His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "I know that you have a good relationship with Duke Wei, so I told you this suspicion. Help me to pass a message to him, if he is pretending to be sick , I hurriedly made a report, saying that I have recovered, and I can let the past go! But if you deliberately deceive, hehe..."

Guo Ye asked weakly: "Then what if he is really sick?"

"Then I won't allow him to go home to take care of the elderly!" His Majesty Li Er slapped the imperial case and said, "Let him stay in Chang'an City for me, and he is not allowed to go anywhere!"

No wonder His Majesty Li Er is the first emperor through the ages, but Li Jing can only bow down and proclaim himself a minister!As soon as he sticks his butt, His Majesty Li Er knows what shit he wants to shit!

No matter how reasonable Guo Ye's explanation is, it can't be hidden from His Majesty Li Er's amazing intuition!He had to say: "My minister complies with the order!"

The atmosphere turned cold for a while, Empress Changsun chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk about those unpleasant things. Duke Qin not only saved the life of my palace, but also the life of King Yan! You haven't given a reward yet! "

His Majesty Li Er said: "Guo Aiqing, the Wei State has announced that he is sick now. The post of Minister Zuo Pushe will be vacant...how about you?"

No matter how pretentious Guo Ye is, he also knows that Shangshu Zuopushe is not something he can get his hands on now, and said: "Your Majesty is joking, I will be satisfied if you give me a minister of the Ministry of War. Shangshu Zuopushe? How are we qualified?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War? I really wanted you to be the Minister of the Ministry of War a few days ago. But..." His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly and said: "I am afraid that you, the Minister of the Ministry of War, will take some time to take office. I still need you to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. Minister of Rites!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know that I've always been ignorant. In the Ministry of Rites, I'm just a vegetarian meal, which is useless!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Why is it useless? Didn't you do a good job when you were sent to Goguryeo last time? This time I will keep you as Minister of Rites, and I still want to arrange for you to go on a mission!"

"Where?"

"Silla!"

Chapter 1551 These days, model couples are not reliable (1)

As soon as His Majesty Li Er said the word "Silla", the beautiful face of Princess Shanhua appeared in Guo Ye's mind.

go!How can I not go?How can we continue our relationship with Princess Shanhua if we don't go?If you don't go, how can you... clean up this little bitch Yang Fengyi?

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty really knows people and is good at assignments. If you want to talk about other places, the humble minister may not be competent, but in Xinluo, who else can I do!"

"Guo Aiqing is brave enough to do things, I am very relieved."

After saying this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly had an ambiguous look on his face, and said, "Guo Aiqing is so confident, does she have an affair with Princess Kinderman of Silla?"

Although Guo Ye has already reported to His Majesty Li Er about the trip to Goguryeo in detail, he will definitely not tell His Majesty Li Er about the matter between him and Princess Shanhua.It's just that he and Princess Kinderman share life and death together, and have a good friendship.

But now, Guo Ye's answer was so decisive, but it made His Majesty Li Er suddenly misunderstand.

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, there is absolutely no such thing!"

"Really do not have?"

Guo Ye said seriously: "How dare a humble minister lie to His Majesty?"

"Oh! Why is there no such thing!" His Majesty Li Er was full of hatred for iron and steel, and said: "Guo Aiqing, you can't even take care of the queen of Tianzhu...why can't you take care of a little Kinderman?"

"Uh……"

How to pick it up?Guo Ye responded with a bitter face: "The humble minister is incompetent!"

"I believe in your ability, but the key is whether you put your heart into it. I'm here to ask you, is that Kinderman so ugly that you don't like it?"

"Then how can it be, Princess Deman is beautiful and beautiful, she is really a rare beauty!"

Guo Ye praised Jin Deman, and Empress Changsun felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it, and said, "This statement is true? Then Guo Aiqing thinks, who is more beautiful, Princess Deman or Bengong?"

"This..." Guo Ye was about to break out in a cold sweat after hearing this!How to answer this?Speaking of Jin Deman's beauty, where are the faces of the empress and His Majesty Li Er?But if you want to say that the queen is beautiful, it is not a good thing to judge the queen's appearance.His Majesty Li Er is watching!

He carefully said his words: "The empress's mother is like the bright moon in the sky. No matter how beautiful Kinderman is, she is nothing more than a small star. How can a star compete with the moon for brilliance?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "From your point of view, Kinderman is really pretty, so why don't you like her? Or is she looking down on you?"

How can a man admit that he is not attractive?

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty, although that Kinderman is good-looking, she accepted the harem widely, and there were not ten, but seven or eight men who had affairs with her. I am very dissatisfied with her debauched behavior. In times of adversity, it is business as usual, without any personal relationship between men and women.”

After hearing this, Empress Changsun exclaimed in surprise: "Is there such a shameless woman in the world?"

His Majesty Li Er explained: "She is the lord of a country, and it doesn't matter if she has a few male favourites." Turning to Guo Ye, he said: "Kindeman's nature is a bit dissolute, but it is not for you to marry him back home. To be a wife. You have a closer relationship with her... not only for you, but also for us Datang, it is also very beneficial!"

Before Guo Ye could speak, Empress Changsun spoke, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, be careful! Duke Qin is a pillar of the country. You insist on asking him to get close to a dubious woman. This is not the way the country treats heroes! What's more, I have heard people say that the courtiers and concubines will get fame right away. You rely on Qin Guogong's masculinity to deal with Silla, and it is not good for your reputation. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

What Empress Changsun said was justified, and His Majesty Li Er really couldn't say anything to refute, saying: "The empress's words are justified, I have been taught!"

Without waiting for Empress Changsun to say a few more polite words, His Majesty Li Er said again: "I still have some important military matters, and I need to discuss them with Duke Qin. If the Empress has nothing else to do..."

Empress Changsun stood up and said, "The concubine will leave!"
