Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1906

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that rewarding Shiyi is not enough. How about...your two subordinates, Zhuo Yuan and... and..."

"Arsenic!"

"Yes, arsenic! These two people died in the king's affairs, and I named them, one is a man from Chang'an County, and the other is a man from Wannian County."

Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty is bounded by Zhuque Street, Wannian County to the east, and Chang'an County to the west.The combination of these two counties is Chang'an City.

His Majesty Li Er sealed the two of them here, which is really very interesting.

As for the baron's status being a bit low, it was because the two of them had never been officials in the imperial court before.This baron is already the highest official position that can be granted to them in theory.Give them a higher official position, and the Menxia Province will have trouble getting through.

If it is said that the three hundred households are dispensable to Guo Ye, this seal is extremely important to Guo Ye.

The death of Zhuo Yuan and Arsenic was an eternal pain in Guo Ye's heart.Back in Luoxi City, Guo Ye burned down the Potala Palace in a fit of rage because of the deaths of the two of them.

However, there was only so much Guo Ye could do for these two.Now His Majesty Li Er honored them with the honor of sealing them after death, which can be regarded as helping Guo Ye make up for the shortcomings in his heart.

He knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhuo Yuan and Pi Shuang are alive in heaven. They will be very happy to know the news."

His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished sealing yet."

"Huh? Can you still seal it?"

"That's natural. The titles of Wannian County Men and Chang'an County Men were awarded to them for their military exploits in Luoxi City. Last night, they added 60 years to the life span of my ministers. Of course, they must continue to be titled. "

"But... this dreaming thing is that the minister and His Majesty talked about it in private. How can we use this as a basis for awarding? Can all the officials of the court agree? Besides, it is already an extraordinary reward to confer them a baron. Why? Can you continue to promote?"

His Majesty Li Er was confident, and said: "I don't need other people's consent for this seal."

"Don't you need to go through the door?"

"No need at all. Because what I gave them was not an official position in the court!"

Guo Ye scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, the more you talk about me, the more confused I become. It's not an official position in the court. What is it?"

"Aren't they ghost generals in the underworld? I will confer a priesthood on them and make them the city gods of Chang'an City!"

"But there seems to be a City God in Chang'an City."

"I know that the city god of Chang'an City is Ji Xin of the Han Dynasty. I think Xiang Yu trapped Liu Bang in Xingyang, and Liu Bang had nowhere to go. He asked Ji Xin to wear the clothes of the King of Han and went out of the city to surrender. Liu Bang himself took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Later, Liu Bang escaped from trouble, but Ji Xin was killed by Xiang Yu."

"It is this man."

"But later Liu Bang became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't reward Ji Xin. Ji Xin is a city god, and the people felt sorry for him, so they spontaneously built a temple for him."

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, and said: "Although Ji Xin is a loyal man, Liu Bang didn't award him a reward, so why should I care about his honor? I think that's the way it is, and I will use... you see Zhuo Yuan or Pi Shuang, who should be the city god?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhuo Yuan and Pi Shuang are a couple. Zhuo Yuan is the husband, and Pi Shuang is the wife."

"That's easy, Zhuo Yuan is the Lord of the City God, and Arsenic is the Grandma of the City God, haha!"

Guo Ye's heart moved, and he said: "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request..."

"What unkind request?"

"This request is indeed a little too much. But you have sealed Zhuo Yuan and Arsenic, and that sheep is also driving, and the two sheep are also leading, why don't you reward one more person!"

"Who do you want me to reward?"

"He is also a subordinate of Weichen. His name is Li Luojia, and his nickname is Shahu. They are all... He and Zhuo Yuan are sworn brothers. They didn't die in Luoxie City, but they died in battle in front of the Tubo king's tomb. Died in the king's affairs."

"Well, since it's Zhuo Yuan's brother, it really doesn't make sense if he doesn't offer a reward. Then let Li Luojia be the deputy city god."

"Thank you Lord Ron."

Guo Ye understood that the reason why His Majesty Li Er gave Zhuo Yuan and Pi Shuang such high rewards was out of compensatory psychology on the one hand.On the other hand, it was because of their special identities in that dream.

In his own description, Zhuo Yuan is a general of the underworld, with the ability to change life and death, so he must have a lot of power in the underworld.

Although His Majesty Li Er still has 50 years of life to enjoy, he cannot escape death after all.So now it is necessary to make friends with these two powerful people in the underworld.

To make them the city gods of Chang'an Mansion, His Majesty Li Er can do it with a decree.It can really be regarded as a benefit without cost.

Guo Ye was even more satisfied with the result.Zhuo Yuan, Qian Shuang and Sha Hu all died fighting for themselves, and it was an unexpected joy that an emperor could build a temple for them today.

After chatting with His Majesty Li Er for a while, Guo Ye left the palace.Before he had gone far, he was stopped by a person.

This person is Ma Zhou and Ma Yuanju.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Ma Yuanju has become a lot haggard. It seems that this kind of transaction method of goods first and payment later really put him under a lot of pressure.

Ma Yuanju grabbed Guo Ye's sleeve as soon as he stretched out his hand, and said, "What's the result?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I am not disgraceful!"

"It's done? What happened? Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were reinstated, or did they find out if His Majesty was poisoned?"

"I'll take care of things, don't worry. Since I said I'm lucky enough to live up to my fate, then of course both of these things have been done!"

"It's all done? How did you do it?"

Of course Guo Ye would not tell him the truth, and replied vaguely: "Of course, it is reasoning and empathy. Your Majesty is a righteous and enlightened monarch, how can he refuse advice? It's just that he is too poisoned and occasionally confused. !"

"Poisoned, His Majesty is really poisoned?"

"Yes, I really guessed it right. It's a pity that the person who offered the poison prescription has been killed and silenced. It is impossible to find out who is behind the scenes."

"That's great!"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Chapter 1759

Ma Yuanju quickly explained: "No... what I mean is... Your Majesty did the wrong thing because of poisoning, not the original intention. Fortunately for the community! Fortunately for the world! It turned out that we all misunderstood Your Majesty, and now thinking about it, I am really ashamed!"

At the end, Ma Yuanju's eye circles were a little red, he sobbed a bit, and continued: "I didn't say anything, from now on, I, Ma Zhou, will bow to Your Majesty and die, to atone for today's sin!"

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Then you misunderstood me?"

"What did you misunderstand?"

"Misunderstand that I am His Majesty's illegitimate son, and I have trouble with me? Now that His Majesty has decided to restore the two adults and me to their posts, your third reason for doubt no longer exists. Do you still think that I am His Majesty? illegitimate child?"

"Well..." Ma Yuanju bowed and said, "Brother Guo, I'm sorry! I, Ma Zhou, apologize to you! But..."

"how?"
