Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Cui Henian nodded to show that he understood. It is no secret to the Guanlong aristocratic class that the Buddhist and Taoist believers in Yongzhou are making trouble. Two days ago, his elder brother Cui Heling wrote to him about it.

Yongzhou is not far from Qinghe County, and the Cui family also has many shops and facades in Yongzhou City, all of which were affected by the riots in the city.

But he didn't understand what the emperor ordered Hou Junji to go to Yongzhou to quell the chaos and he had nothing to do with him. He didn't think that his friendship with Hou Junji was so good that he came to bid farewell when he was about to set off.

Immediately, he first clasped his fists and said: "Cui hereby wish General Hou a victory in fighting chaos this time, and make great achievements again."

Immediately afterwards, he asked in a low voice with doubts on his face: "Then the great general Hou came to me this time..."

Obviously, he was still puzzled by the reason for Hou Junji's visit.

Hou Junji showed a smile, got up and walked to Cui Henian, and whispered in his ear: "My lord Changsun asked Hou to look for Cui Shangshu before setting out, and said it was..."

Whispering in a low voice, Hou Junji brought Changsun Wuji's words to Cui Henian, and Cui Henian was startled when he heard it, and muttered to himself: "Tsk tsk, Mr. Changsun is wise, Yongzhou and the neighboring prefectures are just right. It is the sphere of influence of our Cui family, this matter can be done, it can be done."

Hou Junji patted his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, the departure is imminent, please ask Cui Shangshu to write a letter to Brother Ling, including the words of the eldest grandson and Hou's real purpose for going to Yongzhou In the letter, so that brother Cui Heling can understand at a glance, so that he won't be suspicious of me."

Cui Henian shook his head and smiled and said, "What did General Hou say? We are all on our own, haha...how could my brother not believe you? He has been fascinated by General Hou's reputation for a long time. .”

That's what I said, but the movements of Cui Henian's hands have not loosened, laying paper... grinding ink... picking up the pen...

Soon, he wrote a letter to his elder brother Cui Heling.

……

……

The imperial palace, in Wangbei Pavilion.

After His Majesty Li Er finished reviewing the last memorial of the day, he let out a long breath, then stretched his waist, and looked up at Guo Ye who had been standing in the pavilion for a long time.

It has been a long time since Guo Ye entered the palace and came to the Wangbei Pavilion, because His Majesty Li Er wanted to review the memorial, so he was asked to stand first, but he was left there for nearly an hour after such a stand.

Guo Ye was not in a hurry this time, he watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and just stood there quietly, waiting until His Majesty Li Er finished reviewing the mountain-high memorials on the dragon case.

"sit down!"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand at Guo Ye, motioning him to find a seat to sit down and talk.

Guo Ye was not hypocritical, and lost the impatience he had just before entering the palace, walked calmly to a seat on the left, and sat down slowly.

After Guo Ye sat down, His Majesty Li Er took a few sips of a cup of ginseng tea on the dragon table, moistened his throat, and asked: "Guo Qing, how is your job as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites? Said, you, the left servant, should have come to the morning court, but I haven't seen you in the morning court for a long time. Could it be that your Ministry of Rites is busier than the Ministry of War?"

Guo Ye secretly calculated, yes, since he took office in the Ministry of Rites, although he has the name of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, he has not been to the morning court for a day, either this thing or that thing, he was delayed.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that he is used to being lazy, and he really can't bear the boredom of standing upright for hours in the morning.

He smiled awkwardly, stood up and cupped his hands to beg for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Zhao Feixuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, has gone to Yong'an Village with Mrs. Gao to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, and our Minister of Rites, Cui Henian, is just a vegetarian, occupying the latrine and not shitting. Therefore, the big and small matters in the Ministry of Rites are on the shoulders of the minister. Oh, busy, otherwise the morning court will not be delayed. As a courtier, who doesn’t want to see the emperor every day and see the sky? ah?"

"Haha, you kid is still so mean and venomous."

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing and said: "Cui Shangshu is really as bad as you said? No matter how busy you are, do you still have the time to manage state affairs? Well, let's expose this first. You came to find me today, so What's the matter?"

Guo Ye hurt Cui Henian severely in front of His Majesty Li Er, and he was happy and comfortable in his heart.

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's question about the reason for his visit, he immediately woke up and said: "The reason why I came here this time is to tell the disciples of Buddhism and Taoism to cause disasters to the place, and to tell the emperor, I heard..."

"You mean the riots in Yongzhou?"

His Majesty Li Er interrupted Guo Ye's request, shook his head and said indifferently: "You are a step late, haha, I ordered Lu Guo Gonghou Junji to lead an army of [-] to Yongzhou early this morning, The rebellion broke out."

Hou Junji?

Guo Ye was slightly taken aback, why did so many people choose this Wei Yan-style character?

But he didn't come here today just because of the Yongzhou matter, he was even more curious about what Li Chunfeng said about the Southern Zhengyi Sect.

Immediately afterwards, he played again: "Your Majesty, what I said is not about Yongzhou, but about the internal strife among the Zhengyi sects in the south, and the Taiping sect, Bailian sect, and Manichaeism plotting illegal things in Lingnan."

"what?"

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er was not shocked when he heard about it, but stared at Guo Ye solemnly, and asked, "You must have heard it from Li Chunfeng, right? Let me ask you, how much do you know about this matter?" ? Have you ever told anyone else about it?"

From Guo Ye's point of view, His Majesty Li Er was not shocked when he heard it, but nervous, a kind of nervousness for fear of the secret being leaked.

Chapter 895 You Know Too Much

strange!

Guo Ye looked at His Majesty Li Er, who had a solemn and stern face, and wondered in his heart, why did His Majesty Li Er act so nervous?Shouldn't he have shown shock, or anger, or even scolded and abused?

"Guo Ye, look at me!"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly stood up and shouted: "How much do you know about the south?"

Guo Ye couldn't bear His Majesty Li Er's cold eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate his chest to see clearly. This was the first time he saw His Majesty Li Er's strange behavior.

He couldn't help wondering secretly, is this still the calm and calm His Majesty Li Er I know?Is it still the decisive Emperor Taizong I know?

Could it be that what I know is only the appearance, and there are intricate and even ulterior and shocking secrets behind it?

So, what is it?

Isn't it just a plot by a cult to confuse the people?what else?

"Say!"

His Majesty Li Er shouted loudly, causing Guo Ye's back to break out in cold sweat.

Guo Ye thought for a while but still couldn't figure out a clue. He also knew that his little psychological deceit to Li Chunfeng was fine.

Immediately, he stood up and cupped his hands, and replied truthfully: "Qi Zuo, the emperor, I don't know much, I only know that there was internal strife in the Zhengyi sect in the south because of the bewitching of the Manichaeism and the Bailian sect, and the Taiping sect split. Ruo If these two religions are mixed together, there will be great chaos in the south."

His Majesty Li Er did not express his position, but still said with a cold face: "What else? What else do you know?"

Seeing this incident, Guo Ye still couldn't impress His Majesty Li Er, and more and more guessed that His Majesty Li Er already knew about these things in the south, and the other party must have already known about them.

So, he continued to answer truthfully: "I also know that Yuan Tiangang, the head teacher of Quanzhen Taoism in the north, the former master of Panlong Temple, the former guardian of the country, and Qin Tianjian, has rushed to Lingnan, and is preparing to fight with the south. A meeting with Zhang Fengxian, the heavenly master."

His Majesty Li Er's face was as heavy as water, and he still snorted coldly: "Hmph, you know a lot, tell me, what else do you know?"

This behavior of the other party made Guo Ye more and more affirmed his guess. He originally thought that he had seen the moon through the clouds and mist amidst the doubts and mysteries, but who knew that everything was not that simple. It turned out that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg?

Immediately, he glanced weakly at His Majesty Li Er, told the last thing he knew, and said, "I also know that Yuan Tiangang met His Majesty in the palace before going to Lingnan, huh?"

Guo Ye exclaimed, and suddenly a bold idea popped up in his heart, and he speculated suspiciously: "Could it be that Yuan Tiangang's trip to Lingnan to meet Zhengyi Sect Zhang Fengxian this time is not only ordered by the emperor, but also not to quell internal strife. What? Could it be that your Majesty was responsible for the chaos in the south this time... No, what are you trying to do by doing this?"

Bang!
