Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 816

Kang Yueshan's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped, stood up from the chair and whispered softly: "Well, let me think about it first."

After finishing speaking, Zi Gu walked around the study room slowly and leisurely, wrenching his fingers, sometimes shaking his head, and sometimes nodding.

Kang Yueshan paced around without saying a word, nodding and shaking his head again and again, Guo Ye felt a burst of torment and torment in his heart.

Shit, is this sure, or not sure?

Chapter 647 It's getting dark

"Hmm... Qiu Heng, the governor of Zhechong in Yizhou, was single-handedly selected by me. He obeyed the old man's words, and he didn't need to lobby. Among the captains of Zhechong in the other eight prefectures, Xu Lie, the captain of Zhechong in Songzhou, and Zhechong in Tengzhou Captain Zhang Dingjiang and the old man are life-and-death close friends, and the old man can naturally lobby for you, and there is no big problem. However, the other six houses are against the captain, and the old man has no friendship at all, at most it is just a nodding acquaintance. "

Kang Yueshan frowned, and continued to say in a deep voice: "As for that Yu Duwei of Shuzhou Zhechong Duwei's Mansion, I have never even met face to face, let alone friendship. My son-in-law, I just want to It can help so much.”

Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Captain Zhechong of the Jiudi Prefecture could only lobby for the third one. It seems that his estimation was a bit too optimistic.

Seeing Guo Ye's worried face, Kang Yueshan understood what Guo Ye was thinking, and he couldn't help but comfort him: "My son-in-law, most of the Zhechong captains from all over the country were loyal men who followed His Majesty in the north and south, like Liang After all, Shi Dao and Yu Kui are very few people who refuse to obey the orders of the Governor's Mansion with sinister intentions. The King of Shu opened his mansion in Shu Prefecture. Although he came to control the military affairs of the nine regions, he is also the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Don't you think too much? Worrying too much?"

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said: "Father-in-law, it's not that I worry too much, but the facts are right in front of us. If these people are really willing to obey the restraint of the Dudu Mansion and follow the orders of His Highness the King of Shu, why didn't they take the initiative to go to Shuzhou City to pay homage to the King of Shu?" What about becoming a vassal when you enter the city? This is also against the rules!"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye pointed to his chest, then pointed to Kang Yueshan's heart, and asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law, if you have been in Yizhou for ten years, you have always said the same thing. Suddenly the airborne Such a vassal king came down and restrained your military affairs, hindering your hands and feet and restricting you, can you be happy, can you be happy?"

Kang Yueshan thought about it for a while, then nodded and sighed: "Yeah, those of us in the military are used to being wild and arrogant, and the sudden appearance of a military governor's mansion is tantamount to being tied around the neck." A leather ring, someone put a curse on his head. Naturally, he was unhappy..."

"That's the reason!"

Guo Ye clenched his left hand into a fist and slammed the palm of his right hand hard. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that it will take a lot of hard work to get them to obediently obey the control of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

"Hey, could it be that the son-in-law already has a way to deal with it?"

Kang Yueshan has absolutely no doubts about his son-in-law's ability, on the contrary, he still has high expectations for Guo Ye.

Guo Ye hummed, nodded and said: "I probably have a solution in mind, and it happens that my father-in-law is here. I'll listen to you, and you can help me as a staff officer."

Afterwards, Guo Ye came up with a backup method that he had thought of on the way back to Longxi in Shuzhou.

When Kang Yueshan heard the last word, he probably heard Guo Ye's real intentions, and said in surprise, "My son-in-law, are you going to take Liang Shidao and Yu Kui with the knife, in order to shake the mountain and shake the tiger?"

Guo Ye's face darkened instantly, and he said with a sneer, "Since the Governor's Mansion of Shuzhou is located in the county town of Shuzhou, the nail that pierced Liang Shidao, the governor of Shuzhou, must be pulled out. No matter, the purpose is the same, that is to let the Governor's Mansion of Shu Prefecture fully establish its prestige, make the Governor Zhechong of the nine prefectures willingly accept its restraint, and let His Royal Highness King Shu establish a firm foothold in Jiannan Road in Central Shu."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help asking Kang Yueshan, saying: "Father-in-law, you and I are both people who have been in the army and went to the battlefield, and the captains of Zhechong in Jiudi Prefecture have also retired from the army. You should all know in your heart that those who lead troops believe in one's strength and obey the iron fist method, right? That's what I mean when you say that one force can be reduced to ten times."

Kang Yueshan took Guo Ye's opinion deeply, nodded and praised: "That's right, if the governor's office in Shuzhou doesn't even have any prestige, and they are all at the mercy of others like a soft persimmon, who is willing to talk to him?"

While talking, Kang Yueshan's eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed: "Hey, that's not right! My son-in-law, I know your conduct and ways of dealing with the world very well. Disputes. Otherwise, when His Royal Highness called you into Chang'an, you wouldn't have shied away so much. What? In just over half a year, you changed your original intention again? Do you think that His Royal Highness King Shu is stronger than the Prince, and that in the future you will be able to The ideal candidate to inherit my Great Tang foundation?"

"Haha, there is no doubt that Li Ke, King of Shu, is stronger than Li Chengqian's embroidered pillow. But now that His Majesty is in his prime of life, he is in the prime of life. It is too vague and too nonsense to consider Lao Shizi's ideal candidate now!"

Guo Ye did not answer Kang Yueshan's question directly, and continued: "The reason why I help His Highness the King of Shu this time is also for my own future. To help others is to help yourself, why not do it? Hey, God It's almost dark..."

Kang Yueshan also raised his head and looked out of the window. Sure enough, the night was heavy and heavy. Unknowingly, Weng and his son-in-law stayed in the study for a whole afternoon.

Immediately, Kang Yueshan submitted his resignation letter and said: "My son-in-law, the matter is almost over, I will go back to the mansion first. As for the captains of the three prefectures of Yizhou, Songzhou, and Tengzhou, I will leave it to the old man to lobby. , you concentrate on what you just said."

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Thank you, father-in-law. But since it's already dark, why don't you stay and have dinner together before you go back? I'll ask the servants to boil a pot of good wine, and we, the son-in-law, will have a good drink." Two cups?"

"No, no, no." Kang Yueshan shook his head and said, "When you go home the day before, you should spend more time with your mother, Xiu Xiucai, and the old man will not bother you here. As for drinking, you are not in a hurry to return to Chang'an, and the future will be long." Very good!"

Guo Ye couldn't resist Kang Yueshan, so he nodded and got up and sent him out of the study.After watching Comrade Lao Kang leave in a hurry, Guo Ye felt his stomach growling, so he also left the study and walked towards the dining room.

As soon as we arrived at the dining room, the servants were holding dishes and putting them on the table one after another, and there was still a jug of old wine steaming in the middle of the table.

Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru, two young wives, were directing the servants to serve the dishes one by one.

Soon, Zhenniang also walked out slowly from the back hall with the help of the old lady who was dressed in imperial attire. At first glance, the old lady was really dressed festively today.

Guo Ye murmured to himself, if I gave my mother a whole walking stick with a dragon head, it would really look a bit like Taijun She, a female general of the Yang family.

Seeing the old lady coming out, the servants may have received the reward from Wu Xiuxiu, and they all shouted to the old lady Jin'an with smiles on their faces, and said that the old lady had eaten.

As soon as the old lady took her seat, Guo Ye also took her seat, and Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru also took their seats one after another.

The well-behaved Zhen Niang consciously stood beside Guo Ye, first filled a bowl of soup for the old lady, and then carefully poured a small wine for Guo Ye.

This meticulous action fell into the eyes of Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru again. After the two looked at each other with the same hatred, they bowed their heads and ate the meal without saying a word.

Because the old lady was in a good mood, I had a very happy dinner today.

After dinner, Zhenniang took a tired look at Guo Ye, then helped the old lady back to the back hall again.

Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru also returned to their rooms thoughtfully.

Taking advantage of the yellow and warm moonlight, Guo Ye came to the courtyard alone and wandered around for a while, until sleepiness gradually hit, and then he left the small courtyard to go back to sleep.

Just walked out of the yard to the backyard where the family rested, and came to a fork in the corridor, where there were already two maids standing there waiting.

Guo Ye recognized these two maids, one was Wu Xiuxiu's personal maid Chunxiang, and the other was Kang Zhiru's maid Dongyue brought into Guo's mansion from the Kang family.

"Servant Chunxiang has met my uncle!"

"The slave girl Dongyue was ordered by my young lady to wait for the high officials here."

Chunxiang and Dongyue rushed to salute Guo Ye.

Huh?

Guo Ye found that there was something wrong with the two maids, they seemed to be secretly fighting for something.

Could it be...

My God, how did I forget this?

Just when Guo Ye had just come back to his senses, Chunxiang called out again: "My lord, Mrs. Xiuxiu has already laid out a new quilt and mattress. It's getting dark, and I'm waiting for my lord to go to the room to rest and go to sleep."

Dongyue was not to be outdone, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, my lady has asked the servants to boil hot water and prepare a big bucket for bathing in the room. The lady asked the servants to lead the official to take a bath first. Relief from fatigue."

Damn it, Xiaobie wins the newlyweds, the daredevil Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru are both fighting for the first night of the husband and wife reunion today?

He knew that tonight was the first night after parting, so it was of great significance to the young couple.This is especially true for Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru.Women are always the most delicate in their minds, often from things as small as a needle, but can be extended to such illusory things as the truth of the universe.

However, no matter whose room he went to tonight, he was destined to follow his brother's love and lose his sister-in-law's will.

Now Guo Ye's head is as big as a numb, and his heart is secretly anxious, what should I do if it is swollen tonight?Whose room should we sleep in first?Where is Xiuxiu?Or Zhiru?

Chapter 648 Great Tang Good Old Lady

"Your Majesty, the old lady invites you to go over there!"

Behind Guo Ye, Zhen Niang's soft and waxy voice suddenly sounded like the sound of nature in the ears of Guo Ye, who was in a dilemma. It really came so damn timely.
