Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 836

Without saying a word, Yu Kui picked up the glass of wine on the left and poured it into his mouth, and drank it down in one gulp.

Snapped!

After drinking, Yu Kui put the empty wine glass back on the table, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, looked straight at Guo Ye, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Changshi, Yu Kui drank your toast today. , can you guarantee that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will not hold me accountable? And can you guarantee that after I have committed crimes and meritorious deeds, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will reward me for my merits and move me to Chang'an after returning to Chang'an?"

hold head high?

Guo Ye couldn't believe his ears, did he agree?Is this a compromise?Are you willing to cooperate?

He has not been an official for a day or two, so he naturally knows some ways to be an official. As the saying goes, an official has two mouths and two hands when talking.

Regardless of 21, let's agree first.

On the spot, he pressed Yu Kuidi's shoulder graciously, and praised repeatedly: "Captain Yu is really a man who knows the current affairs and is a hero. He is a good bird that chooses a tree to live in. Captain Yu, compared to Liang Shidao's half-dead You are too strong. Haha... From now on, you and I will be a family, come, sit, please sit!"

Yu Kui didn't nod and bow like Guo Ye imagined, but instead looked at Guo Ye with fear, and replied softly: "Guo Changshi, ever since I stepped on Liang Cishi's ship, I guessed that there was a shipwreck that lost his head." That day is just a matter of time. Hehe, now that the Tang Dynasty is strong and the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment. The general situation of the world is already in place, so how can a few people be able to shake it?"

Yu Kui didn't sit down, and Guo Ye didn't take it seriously. He heard something strange when he heard the other party's words, and asked cautiously: "Captain Yu, Governor Liang and Xiao Pushe secretly set up an arsenal to forge soldiers. Weapons, it really is treason???"

"Ha ha……"

Yu Kui smiled wryly, and said, "Treason? It's not as simple as treason. Guo Changshi, I already knew that I was a pawn in the hands of Governor Liang, and he himself was at most a pawn in Xiao Pu's hands. As for Xiao Pushe, he is just a person who gives orders and presides over the overall situation, he is not really the person behind the scenes."

Guo Ye was surprised: "What? You mean that the source of this matter is not Xiao Yu?"

Damn, I didn't expect that it really affects the whole body, even Xiao Yu is not the real behind-the-scenes hand.

A little bit of fear rose in Guo Ye's heart, grandma, it won't be a great achievement this time that will turn into a catastrophe, right?Could it be that he has made a huge mess?

Yu Kui nodded, and continued: "It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much an attempt to rebel as an attempt to restore. Guo Changshi, should you think of something now?"

Restoration?

Restoration... overthrowing His Majesty Li Er and re-ascending the throne... Could it be...

Seeing that Guo Ye was still thinking about it, Yu Kui took a few deep breaths, and asked in a deep voice, "Guo Changshi, you are very lucky. The credit for this time must be the credit of heaven. Can you really stand up to such a feat, and not be caught on fire, be backlashed and harm others and yourself?"

Guo Ye calmed down completely, and he was no longer as excited as before. With an expression of the presence of an old god, he confirmed with Yu Kui again: "Captain Yu, you mean to open an arsenal and forge weapons. Did the Supreme Emperor instruct Xiao Yu to do this? The purpose of the Supreme Emperor is to secretly accumulate strength, restore Xu Tu, and replace the current emperor again?"

"That's right!"

Yu Kui admitted categorically: "That's right, there are more than [-] troops in Zhechong Duwei's Mansion in the six states of Shuzhou and Bazhou, and the military casting field in the canyon at the foot of Manglong Mountain in Shuzhou is all the troops of the Supreme Emperor." Secretly instructed Xiao Pushe to save up. As far as I know, this is just the beginning. If it continues at this speed, after five years, the entire Jiannan Road in Central Shu will be able to accumulate at least [-] troops. The purpose is to find opportunities, Responding to the call of the Supreme Emperor to ascend to the top. If you add that the Supreme Emperor was in the court and the old ministries in various states, hehe, the chances of success are very high. Governor Liang told me that by then, we will all They are the ministers of the dragon, and they are the founding fathers of the Supreme Emperor and his old man who restored the throne."

Speaking of this, Yu Kui felt annoyed again, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that this plan was completely disrupted by you and His Royal Highness the King of Shu who took control of Shu Prefecture when they were still in their infancy."

Guo Ye's face was already dull at this time, he already had a premonition that he had stabbed a big hole, almost poked a big hole in the sky, grandma's, and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was involved, isn't this just making trouble for himself?

He sighed in a daze: "I didn't expect you to do so many things in secret. It's really frighteningly scary. It turns out that the Supreme Emperor has not given up his throne yet, and has been accumulating strength in secret, waiting for the future." It's a counterattack, it's really ruthless, it's really dark!"

Hearing Guo Ye's exclamation, Yu Kui looked both worried and lucky, and asked back: "Guo Changshi, since you have seen all the causes and consequences and understood the truth of the matter. Let me ask you , do you still want to make meritorious deeds and investigate this matter? Hehe, the credit is a great credit, I am afraid that you and His Highness the King of Shu will not be blessed. I’ve heard of it, so let’s pretend it never happened, right? Let Yu and Mr. Guo be handed over to friends, how about that?”

Speaking of this, Yu Kui saw that Guo Ye was still in a daze, and he didn't forget to add: "Inspector Liang, after the Minjiang ban, I think he will restrain His Highness the King of Shu. From now on , everyone is on the border of Shuzhou, try not to invade each other, and live in peace, okay?"

Chapter 666 Guo Ye's Disappointment

"Uh……"

All of a sudden, Guo Ye dragged a long tone in his mouth, with a bit of hesitation on his face.For a while, I didn't know how to respond to Yu Kui's rhetorical question.

At this time, in addition to the negative emotions of hesitation and hesitation in his heart, he also had lingering fears.

It's not for anything else, just because this matter is going on and on, and the big boss hidden on the side of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan is involved.

This is a good time, accidentally stepped into the swamp of Li Yuan and Li Shimin father and son.

Before that, he cheated out of Yu Kui's mouth that there was an arsenal hidden in the Grand Canyon under Manglong Mountain in Shuzhou.

Hearing it for the first time, he was deeply pleased and fortunate.Because as long as the arsenal on Manglong Mountain is taken away, and Liang Shidao and Xiao Yu's conspiracy to rebel is stabbed into the court of Chang'an and into the ears of His Majesty Li Er, these two puppies will be doomed, and they will lose their skin if they don't die up.

But who would have thought, Nima, the black hand behind the scenes is actually the secretly restless Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

Restoration, Li Yuan wants to restore! ! !

Ever since Li Yuan was forced to abdicate due to the Xuanwumen Incident, he has been making secret preparations, accumulating strength, and preparing to regain the throne.

It's really old-hearted, the old emperor has always been ready to kill His Majesty Li Er.

Now that Li Yuan is involved, it will deviate too far from what Guo Ye had imagined before. This is definitely not a game he can get involved in.

Who is he in the current game between His Majesty Li Er and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan?He can't afford to offend anyone, he can't afford to offend anyone.

The game between the two, at a big scale, is a competition between the two top forces in the Tang Empire; at a low level, it is a family affair between father and son behind closed doors.

Even if he stood on the side of His Majesty Li Er and brought this matter into Chang'an, he didn't think His Majesty Li Er would reward him for it.He was sure that even if His Majesty Li Er knew the truth of the matter, he would keep the matter under wraps and digest it internally.

Because His Majesty Li Er is famous for saving face, he wants to play the role of a filial son in front of the people of the whole Tang Dynasty, and he wants to fully carry forward the rule of the world with filial piety.

It is impossible for him to attack the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan because of this matter. Wouldn't that be slapping himself in front of the whole world?

His Majesty Li Er would not do this, at best he would only handle it in a low-key manner.

And Guo Ye will never benefit from this matter in front of His Majesty Li Er.On the contrary, His Majesty Li Er will kick away Guo Ye, the stinky spittoon and stinky chamber pot that undermined the stability and unity of Li's father and son, and let him fend for himself.

In the end, if Li Yuan didn't die, he would provoke Li Yuan's jealousy and even counterattack.

If Li Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate against Guo Ye, or even kill Guo Ye, wouldn't that be easy?

Don't look at him as an old emperor who has abdicated, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the rotten boat still has three thousand nails.

At that time, why would His Majesty Li Er, who is famous for saving face and "filial piety", confront his father Li Yuan in front of the whole world because of him?

You can imagine it with your toes, but it is absolutely impossible!

No matter how you do this business, it is not worthwhile. Not only will you not get credit, you will not get benefits and benefits, but you will also burn yourself and ruin yourself.

Grandma's, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes, to accidentally poke it like this, and it will make a big mess.

No, you can't bind yourself in a cocoon, let alone seek your own death.

In an instant, Guo Ye had already made up his mind, shook his head at Yu Kui repeatedly and said, "Captain Yu, if this matter is exposed, you will die, and I, Guo Ye, will not be able to get it. I can't let this go." Muddy water. Forget it, go back and tell Liang Shidao that I already know about the arsenal in the Grand Canyon at the foot of Manglong Mountain. If he doesn’t want to die quickly, he should be honest in the city of Shuzhou. Don’t confront His Highness the King of Shu again. , From now on, the military affairs of Kyushu must be controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Otherwise, if you tear up your face, you will suffer the greatest loss. At least, I will not embark on the road of ransacking my family and killing my family and losing my head."

After hearing this, Yu Kui nodded slightly and said, "Guo Changshi, it seems that you are more rational than I imagined. Well, I will pass on the message to Governor Liang. As for the matter of Manglongshan Arsenal, I just pretend that I haven't said anything about it. , you just pretend that you have never heard of it, everyone is safe and sound, and they are all asking for peace and happiness."

Guo Ye replied lightly, "Grandma, whoever wants to get involved, I will not be so stupid as to do something that is not worth the gain, and does not please both sides.

"no!"

Suddenly, a yellow shadow rushed in from the door of the elegant room, and the crisp voice revealed a little dignity, which categorically prevented the private agreement that Guo Ye and Yu Kuigang were about to reach.
