Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1978

His Majesty Li Er was trembling with anger, waved his hand, and let the guards in front of him retreat, and said angrily: "Guo Ye, do you know what you are doing? Do you still have me in your eyes?"

Li Quan fanned the flames and said: "Your Majesty, murdering the emperor is a crime of treason, you can't let him off lightly! Even if you think about his past achievements, if you don't punish the nine clans, at least you have to punish the three clans and five clans!"

Guo Ye didn't panic when he heard the words, first he gave a big gift to His Majesty Li Er, and then said: "Assault before the imperial court? Someone Guo dare not take this charge!"

"So many people have seen it with their own eyes, how dare you deny it!"

"That's right, I beat those guards! However, this is far from being a murder in front of the imperial court."

"Hmph, you have no official or position now, but wantonly beat His Majesty's guards, what is it if you are not a murderer before the emperor?"

Guo Ye took out something from his bosom, and said, "Based on this alone, my beating them can't be regarded as a murder before the emperor."

"what is this?"

"Holy decree!"

Then, he bowed and knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty, fortunately, I have not disgraced my life, and I am here to pay the order!"

His Majesty Li Er was puzzled like a monk like Zhang Er, and said: "Imperial decree? What imperial decree? Why don't I remember?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I think you gave me an imperial decree to investigate the case of the god monk Luoer Sapo with all my strength. Wherever you go, as if I am here in person, no one can stop you. Just now you just put my title, this The edict is still there!"

He paused for a moment, and continued: "These guards obstructed the minister's handling of the case, which is to disobey the imperial decree. The reason why the minister beat them was completely according to the order! Your Majesty, do you think the minister is guilty or not?"

"This..." His Majesty Li Er said with a wry smile, "Unexpectedly, you took advantage of this loophole."

He waved his hand generously and said: "Forget it, I won't argue with you! You must see me today, what is the matter?"

"It's the Luo Er Sa Po case!"

"What? Have you really solved this case?"

"That's natural!" As he spoke, Guo Ye stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, and said, "Your Majesty, who do you think is that?"

His Majesty Li Er took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Luo Er Sa Po! It's really you!"

Chapter 1822

Li Quan was scared out of his wits at this moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, do you think it's time to hold this wedding first. We will discuss other matters later."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Patriarch Li, don't be too busy. Now that the case of Luo Ersaopo has come to light, there is no need for this wedding to continue!"

"You...what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Patriarch Li won't forget everything he has done, right? The Supreme Emperor died entirely because of you, Li Quan. How can King Qi Qiansui marry your Li family's daughter again?"

His Majesty Li Er was shocked and said, "Guo Ye, what did you say?"

"It doesn't matter what I said, the key is what Monk Tianfu said. Who was he instructed by, His Majesty will know when he asks."

Monk Tianfu looked gloomy, nodded, and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk was entrusted by Li Quan to come to Chang'an City to assassinate His Majesty! As far as the poor monk knows, the death of the Supreme Emperor is also related to him!"

Li Quan said loudly: "Your Majesty, what this demon monk said is completely nonsense! I have a grudge against Guo Ye, so he specially found this demon monk to slander me, and I hope your Majesty will see clearly! I have been wronged..."

While he was talking, he was going to make do with His Majesty Li Er!

Guo Ye immediately took the first step, stopped in front of him, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Guard! Guarantee!"

The guards surrounded His Majesty Li Er, and at the same time, part of them held weapons and surrounded Li Quan!

Li Quan smiled slyly at Guo Ye, and said, "Duke Qin, you have been fooled!"

"what?"

Just when people were stunned, Li Quan had already retreated and came right in front of Monk Tianfu.He took out a dagger from nowhere and stabbed at Monk Tianfu distractedly!

Monk Tianfu was tied up, how could he have any room to resist?Immediately, he was stabbed a few blood holes, and blood gushed out.

With a bang, the dead body fell to the ground!

It was too late to say, but it was so fast, in the blink of an eye, Li Quan had already completed a wonderful assassination.But that's about it for his performance.

All the guards drew their weapons and rushed upwards. After a while, the majestic head of the Li family in Longxi was chopped into meat paste!

Guo Ye sighed: "I didn't expect Li Quan to have such a good kung fu, it's really hidden."

His Majesty Li Er's face was so gloomy that water dripped down, and he said, "Li Quan's purpose in killing Monk Tianfu is to kill him. Duke Qin, who do you think he is protecting?"

Guo Yedao: "The five great gentry clans are united in the same spirit, one is damaged and the other is prosperous! The other families cannot escape their ties."

"Very good! According to my order, the five great gentry...no...what I mean is to send Cui Shaoze, Zheng Qingshan, Fan Yang, Lu Jinhua, and Wang Zicheng to prison! The Minister of Criminal Affairs, Wei Ting, will investigate thoroughly!"

Guo Ye couldn't believe his ears when he heard the words, it was too much thunder and rain!

Hearing what he said just now meant that he was about to uproot the five great gentry clans. How did he only arrest the four patriarchs in the blink of an eye and send Wei Ting to investigate thoroughly!

Who doesn't know that the five noble families have a close relationship with Qi Wang Li You, and Wei Ting is Li You's father-in-law!Sending Wei Ting to interrogate the four masters, isn't this a clear excuse to excuse them?

What kind of medicine is sold in His Majesty Li Er's gourd?

Guo Yedao: "Your Majesty, the case of Monk Tianfu has always been handled by a humble official. Regarding the trial of the four patriarchs..."

"Hmph, you have nothing to do now, and you have paid the imperial decree. What qualifications do you have to hear the case?"

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it, step back! I have my own considerations."

……

……

Guo Ye went back to the mansion on the front foot, and His Majesty Li Er's will arrived on the back foot.Duke Qin's title was lost and regained, and the short period of time can be regarded as a new record for the reinstatement of an official in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, His Majesty Li Er returned his post as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Order of Chang'an, and General of the Guards.As for the position of leader of the bad people's congress, Zhang Liang has already occupied it, so he can only be named the head of the Lijing Sect.

In the end, he added [-] food towns.

After careful calculation, the obvious benefits of Guo Ye's handling of such a major case, except for the four thousand households, are nothing, which seems a little shabby.

However, this was completely within Guo Ye's expectations.It is a true portrayal of his current situation that great achievements are hard to reward.

In terms of official position, whether it is a title or a position, he cannot be promoted.

In terms of money, the total household registration in Datang is now only more than 1000 million.Add these [-] households, and Guo Ye has more than [-] households.

In other words, his salary is equivalent to one-thousandth of Datang's national income, which shows His Majesty Li Er's sincerity.
