Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The second half of Empress Changsun's sentence obviously meant to blame, as if she was blaming Guo Ye for staying up in the middle of the night and running into the palace to disturb His Majesty Li Er's rest.

In Guo Ye's heart, it was called a grievance. He didn't want to enter the palace in the middle of the night to destroy the harmony between husband and wife. His Majesty Li Er gave the death order himself during the day, and he must repay it in time.

However, he didn't mind Empress Changsun's reprimand, on the contrary, he was quite moved in his heart.

Because there was not only one cup of ginseng tea on the tray that Empress Changsun brought into the palace, but two cups, which shows that Empress Changsun did not ignore his existence from the beginning.

Afterwards, he took two sips of the ginseng tea, smacked his mouth twice, and complimented him: "The queen's ginseng tea is really good. After taking such two sips, I suddenly felt that the pores all over my body were dilated, and my whole body was full of energy." .”

"Chuck~"

Empress Changsun seemed amused by Guo Ye, and she couldn't help joking: "Mr. Guo really likes to joke. It's just a cup of ginseng tea. How can you make it sound like the panacea and fairy water?"

"Hey." Guo Ye drank two more sips of warm ginseng tea to warm up his body, and said with a smile, "everything I say is true, I dare not lie to the queen. This century-old ginseng tea in Korea is really rare good stuff."

"Okay!"

His Majesty Li Er finally turned around and spoke, first put the cup back on the tray of Empress Changsun, then waved his hand, and said softly: "Guanyin maidservant, I and Guo Qing have something to talk about, it's getting late, you first Go down and rest. I will go to rest when I am done with work."

Seeing this, Guo Ye gulped down the remaining half cup of ginseng tea in one go, like a cow chewing a peony, then wiped his mouth and returned the empty cup to the tray, saying: "Thank you Queen for the tea."

Empress Changsun hummed, walked to His Majesty Li Er's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much about state affairs, and take good care of the dragon's body."

After leaving, he directly closed the palace door gently.

"Don't worry too much about state affairs, take care of the dragon's body?"

His Majesty Li Er murmured to himself: "The people are more important than the king. No matter how tired and tired I have been since I became the throne, I dare not forget the affairs of the country. Who can take care of state affairs for me? I am also a human being, a husband and a father, and I also want to spend more time with my wife and children, and enjoy family happiness more. Alas...but the major events in this country are one after another, and there is no wave. There is another wave of Ping, can I finish my work?? Sigh..."

Listening to His Majesty Li Er's words from the bottom of his heart, to be precise, when every normal person should complain and complain, Guo Ye's nose couldn't help but feel sore, he really wanted to stand up and shout, Your Majesty, it's actually your father He and those half-brothers are counting on you behind your back, making trouble for you in secret, and they are also brewing a huge conspiracy against you.

Unfortunately, he didn't, and he didn't dare.

Because when he stood up, although he was able to cleanse his heart of guilt, he also took Guan Jiujiu and Wang Bo into a trap.

So, he finally endured it, lowered his head and didn't make a sound.

I don't know whether it was the effect of His Majesty Li Er after drinking the ginseng tea, or because of his complaints, his whole person suddenly took on a new look, and he was full of shining spirit and inexhaustible energy.

I saw him staring at Guo Ye with piercing eyes, and asked: "Guo Qing, according to your report just now, before you led your troops to surround the chariot shop, those fifty thieves had already captured the cart shop owner and his wife. Silenced, and all committed suicide by taking poison?"

Guo Ye nodded noncommittally and said, "Yes, that's right!"

His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath, frowned and asked: "That is to say, this group of thieves and bandits received the news that thousands of soldiers were coming to arrest them long before you besieged the chariot and horse shop? Guo Qing, Let me ask you, did you leak the news before the left leader guard dispatched [-] troops to garrison the West Market? Could it be that someone under your command tipped them off?"

"Absolutely not!"

Guo Ye shook his head resolutely, and replied: "My minister dared to use the head of the item as a guarantee to encircle and suppress the chariot and horse shop to hide bandits, and absolutely never leaked a trace."

"That's weird!"

His Majesty Li Er frowned a little more, and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that behind these fifty Jiangyang thieves are there hidden masterminds behind the scenes? Guo Qing, can you guess who it is?"

Guo Ye shook his head again, expressing his ignorance.

But he was anxious in every possible way, secretly said, Your Majesty Li Er, I have hinted to this point, I can't go on, if I continue, I will kill Wang Bodang and Guan Jiujiu.I hope I say this on purpose so that you can have some embankment and vigilance in your heart. It is best to use your extraordinary wisdom and paranoia to discover your old man Li Yuan's conspiracy as soon as possible.

It turned out that when Guo Ye reported back just now, he did not follow the original words that Dao Xiao Wang Li Yuanfang explained before, but made some slight changes in order to vaguely remind His Majesty Li Er that this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

For the sake of Guan Jiujiu and Wang Bodang's life, he could only hint and remind him here, and that's all.

But His Majesty Li Er was still puzzled, and sighed suspiciously in his heart: "These fifty Jiangyang thieves should have nothing to do with Yin Tianzong and have no enmity, but they actually took his life and wiped out the whole family of the Yin family, and According to Ma Yuanju and Wei Ting's investigation, there is no sign of looting in the Yin mansion. There is no injustice or enmity, and it is not for money. Could there be other purposes?"

Guo Ye didn't dare to continue reminding him any longer, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, since you can't think of it for the time being, let's not think about it for now. Now the corpses of those fifty Jiangyang thieves have been transferred to the Yamen of the Left Leader Guard's Mansion. My minister thought Tomorrow, all these corpses will be hung on the execution ground outside Chang'an city and exposed to the sun for three days, and notices will be posted in conspicuous places in the city, so that the people in the city, the rich families, and the ministers of the court can feel at ease. The situation is broken."

"Well, Guo Qing is very thoughtful!"

His Majesty Li Er nodded his head slightly, and said approvingly: "It's time to conclude the matter of the Yin family's extermination. It can't be left hanging like this forever, otherwise the people in the city will definitely be in danger. Moreover, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty. With the envoys of other neighboring countries and foreign countries, a case that has been dragged on for so long will only make other countries laugh. Well, let Guo Qing handle everything."

Guo Ye hummed in response, and suddenly heard His Majesty Li Er explain: "As for the matter of whether there is really a mastermind behind the scenes just now, Guo Qing will let it rot in his stomach for the time being, and don't let this matter go. Leaking it out will only cause trouble. Guo Qing doesn't need to intervene in this matter, I will handle it myself."

Guo Ye immediately felt relieved when he heard that, he really wanted His Majesty Li Er to say that, and he didn't want Li Yuan to know what he said in front of His Majesty Li Er that he shouldn't have said.

"Generally speaking, Guo Qing deserves the most credit for breaking the murder case of the Yin family."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Okay, I keep my word. From now on, Guo Qing will take over the post of General of the Guards, who will be in charge of the 3 guards on the left and right, and preside over the city defense and curfew of Chang'an City. Tomorrow morning, I will It will be announced."

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Guo Ye cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first!"

His Majesty Li Er ordered: "Okay, let's go back early and rest!"

Then he waved his hand, signaling him to back off.

Guo Ye calmly walked out of the Ganlu Hall, and was led by two eunuchs carrying lanterns, and left the palace.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he vaguely heard the sound of a horse sneezing not far to his left.

Looking at the reputation, I saw——

At a distance of about fifty steps to the left, there was a carriage parked, a two-headed horse driving side by side, two lanterns hung outside the carriage, and the carriage was quite luxuriously decorated.

The carriage seemed to be deliberately waiting for him to leave the palace.

Chapter 997

Whose carriage is this?Are you deliberately waiting for me?

Guo Ye was muttering in his heart when he saw the carriage moving slowly towards his direction.

"Yu..."

The groom snorted softly, pulled the rope to pick up the bit, and the carriage stopped in front of Guo Ye just in time.

At this time, Guo Ye had guessed that this high-profile and luxurious carriage was really for him.

But the groom looked at him face to face, whose family is it?

"Mr. Guo!"

Once the curtain of the car was lifted, before he could see what the distinguished guest inside looked like, the loud voice of the other party had already been heard, which Guo Ye sounded familiar to him.

Guo Ye could see clearly who was in the car by the orange palace lanterns hanging high above the gate of the palace.

It turned out to be one of the three concubine princes under Li Yuan's knees, King Jing Li Yuanxiang.

Guo Ye knew Li Yuanxiang's disposition and temperament very well, and suddenly he felt disgusted and scolded. I said who was so flirtatious and high-profile in front of the palace gate. I dare to say that it was this ambitious, talented, brave and foolhardy Prince Jing!
