Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2150

For a moment, Monk Falin really didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, someone rescued him.

"Master Mo Lizhi is here!" There were footsteps on the stairs, and a group of people came in.

The leader has white hair and a hale and hearty spirit. It is Mo Lizhi on the surface of Goguryeo today, but in fact the Supreme Emperor, Yuan Nanjian's grandfather—Yuan Taizuo.

Back then, in order to save Yang Wanchun, Guo Ye used to change his face and enter Molizhi Mansion at night, and had a relationship with Yuan Taizuo.

Of course, he knew people, but they didn't know him.

"See Mo Lizhi!" The hula-la crowd knelt down.

"Free of courtesy, free of courtesy, all the great sages quickly calm down."

Yuan Taizuo looked around, and finally walked up to Guo Ye.He bowed and said, "You are the great sage Qin Ye who wrote four poems "Ode to the Willow" in a row, right?"

"How do you know me?"

Yuan Taizuo pointed to Yuan Zhihe who was behind him and said: "He told the old man that there is a new black-faced sage in the Jixian Hall."

Guo Ye rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "So that's the reason. Qin looks ugly, so you can laugh at him."

"You can't say that."

Yuan Taizuo said: "Your appearance is indeed a bit ordinary, but it is not enough to say that you are ugly. To put it bluntly, even if you say that you have a dark face, you are not the darkest in Jixian Hall. The old man So I can recognize you at a glance, one is because your face is dark, and the other is..."

"what?"

"The old man has read countless people, and I can tell you are extraordinary at a glance."

This is not Yuan Taizuo's excuse, the so-called Juyi Qi nourishes the body, Guo Ye has been in a high position for a long time, the sofa is decisive, and his temperament is of course different from ordinary people.

Sun Shuanglin saw the advantage, and hurriedly said: "Yes, he has such a great talent and status, how could he be a slave to others? This is unreasonable! Mo Lizhi, check carefully, there must be something wrong with his status."

But Monk Falin stared and said: "If there is any problem, the old monk can vouch for their identities, they are absolutely innocent."

Yuan Taizuo shook his head and said: "Master Xincheng, forgive me. Your own identity is not very innocent, how can you prove the innocence of others?"

"I... this..." Facing Yuan Taizuo, Monk Falin lost his temper.

All his powers were given by Yuan Nanjian. Now that Yuan Nanjian is away, Yuan Taejo is the largest in Pyongyang.The old man made trouble for him, and he had nothing he could do.

Seeing Monk Falin's face changed slightly, Yuan Taizuo smiled slightly and said: "Master, don't panic. Although your identity is problematic, your loyalty to Goguryeo is not a problem. Youdao is a hero regardless of your background. What kind of bandits, this old man can tolerate as much as possible."

Then, he said to Guo Ye and the other four people: "There are still a few of you who must have a history. But since you have taken the initiative to go to Jixian Pavilion, it means that you want to seek wealth from our Goguryeo. No problem, I Goguryeo is only talented, and will not delve into your past."

Yuan Zhihe patted the horse and said: "Don't Lizhi is wise, Chen Ping stole his wife at home, Han Xin can't support himself. The world despises, Liu Bang used it to rule the world. What you have done today is a legacy of the great ancestors."

Yuan Taizuo scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, compare me to Han Gaozu, my grandson can still sleep?"

He dared to say this, but Yuan Zhihe didn't dare to accept it, and said obediently: "Yes, yes."

But Sun Shuanglin said: "I don't agree with Mo Lizhi's words. Han Gaozu didn't care about Chen Ping's past, but it's not that he didn't know about Chen Ping's past. You don't understand the difference, do you?"

Yuan Taizuo said: "If you want to take it first, you must give it first. If you want others to confide in you, then you must first show enough sincerity. I believe that as long as time passes, these great sages will tell you about their origins."

"Even so, you don't have to look into their past for the time being, but you have to ask whether they are loyal or not? If they go to Jixian Hall, does that mean they really go to Goguryeo? This is a bit of a joke."

Yuan Taizuo asked with a smile: "Then they didn't take refuge in Goguryeo, so why?"

"Maybe... Maybe they are the secret work of the enemy country."

"There is someone who said so. Then let me ask you, you are the number one scholar in the new discipline, can you compose the four "Ode to the Willow"?"

Sun Shuanglin said with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about four poems, even if I can't write one."

"Then let me ask you again, if the court orders you to go to Silla to do fine work, will you go or not?"

"How is that possible? I'm the new champion!"

"It's still true. With your talent and learning, you don't even bother to do fine work. With this great talent of Qin Ye, which country can drive him to do fine work? Besides, even if he is willing to do it, is his lord willing to do it?" ?”

"This……"

"There's no need to talk about it anymore." Yuan Taizuo said: "Sun Shuanglin, you offended this great sage, I can be a middle man and make peace. As for the others, don't count on it."

Speaking of this, what else can Sun Shuanglin do?Being able to escape unscathed is already a great blessing among misfortunes, and I can only nod in agreement.

Yuan Taizuo said again: "This is not a place to talk, let's change it."

Qin Ying said: "I would like to obey Mo Lizhi's order."

Jiang Yuge wanted to run away, and said: "The young general has other matters, please leave first."

"That's not necessary." Yuan Taizuo said: "You are also the upstart of our Goguryeo, so get as close as possible to these few, come together."

Sun Shuanglin said: "Then what about me?"

"You? The supervisory censor is busy with official duties, so I won't stay any longer."

……

……

Under the guidance of Yuan Zhihe, everyone came to an elegantly furnished room.

The host and guest are seated again.

Yuan Tae-joo sighed, and said: "Now I, Goguryeo, have internal and external troubles, almost on the verge of subjugation. I don't know why you teach me?"

This is to examine the talents of Guo Ye and others. It is not enough to just be able to write poetry, you must also have a strategy for governing the country.

Kong Kong'er and Jing Jing'er can only be said to be able to read and write. Although Qin Ying has some talents, she doesn't know anything about governing the country.

Several people cast their eyes on Guo Ye at the same time.

Guo Ye rolled his eyes, and suddenly a wonderful idea came to his mind.He said: "Mo Lizhi wants to ask us how to govern the country?"

"Exactly."

"Sorry, I won't."

"No... no? Mr. Qin can't be too modest."

"It's not that I'm too modest, but I really don't know how to do it. You asked me to recite poems and compose poems, and someone like Guo thinks he's not far behind. But what about governing the country..."

Guo Ye spread his hands and said, "I really haven't learned it before."
