Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Sun Zishan also dressed up brightly, greeted and sent him off in front of the new Pingyang County Government House, full of ambitions, and felt that his relationship with the Pingyang County Government went further.But to his surprise, there were not as many guests as he had imagined.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Kong Ying, has arrived!"

"Ma Yuan, governor of Chang'an, is here!"

"Chen Zhongda, Secretary of the Imperial Academy!"

……

The officials of the Qingliu Department of Shilin really showed their face. Under the leadership of Kong Yingda, they came to congratulate immediately.

Guo Ye quickly came out to greet him, and led all the elders inside to serve tea.

But after that, Guo Ye never had the chance to come out to greet him again, and Sun Zishan completely acted on his behalf.

Why?

The following are all petty officials of the fifth rank, sixth rank and seventh rank, how dare the Minister of Labor and Etiquette greet them?It is already a great honor to be greeted by a direct disciple of Duke Pingyang (Sun Zishan claims to be himself).

Guo Ye was chatting with several bigwigs from the Qingliu Department of Shihlin, and at the same time, he had a calculation in his heart. Could it be that he wrote the date wrong when he posted the post?How come there are so many ministers with enough weight?

At this moment, Sun Zishan came to report: "Mr. Qi, Mr. Fang Xuanling, Ling of Zhongshu..."

Fang Xuanling?

That was ten percent of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ye hurriedly said: "Master Fang Xuanling is honored by Zhongshu, and Guo must personally greet him!"

"Don't, don't, teacher, I mean that Mr. Fang Xuanling sent someone to send a gift from Zhongshu Ling. How do you think of returning the gift?"

I rely on!

Sun Zishan gasped for breath when he spoke, Guo Ye gave him a vicious look and said, "You can figure it out!"

Sun Tzushan, a guy with no winks, didn't know that the disaster was coming, so he made up for himself: "Teacher, I don't think there are many high-ranking officials here today. It's really disrespectful to the teacher!"

Guo Ye held back his anger and said softly, "Sun Zishan, come here."

Sun Tzushan took a few steps, "Teacher, what are your orders?"

"Get out!" Guo Ye tried to lower his volume and said sharply.

Until the banquet started, none of the ministers in the court came, except for a few bigwigs from the Qingliu Department of Shilin.

Wei Zheng and Wei Ting, the bigwigs who built the remaining party faction, were nowhere to be seen.

Three or two big cats and kittens came from Tiance's old ministers. As for the boss, Fang Xuanling sent congratulatory gifts anyway, and the others didn't even send gifts!

What about outside the three departments?Let alone that!

What angered Guo Ye the most was Duan Zhixuan, who had just taken advantage of Guo Ye, and his grandson didn't show up either.Guo Ye swore that in the future, he would give Duan Tianbao small shoes to wear.

Anyway, Wang Bodang will go to Fuyu country in a few days, and Duan Zhixuan will have nothing to do with Guo Ye.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.Guo Ye revenge, from morning till night!Seize the day!

Guo Ye's embarrassment, how could the senior members of the Shilin Qingliu Department fail to see it?Just pretending not to know, as if watching a good show.

In the end, it was Chen Kang and Chen Zhongda who were honest and steady, and broke the deadlock: "Brother Guo, do you know why we are the only ministers in the court to congratulate you on your housewarming?"

"I would like to hear the details!" Guo Ye's eyes lit up.

Guo Ye's good friend Ma Yuanju, took a sip of food and a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "You are less than 30 years old, Guo Ye, you have achieved the position of Minister of Rites, and you will be named Duke of Pingyang County. In a few years , A prime minister is always indispensable to you. Now that you are the first minister to move into Zhuquefang, the holy family is prosperous! Such an achievement, I, who is a good friend, is jealous, let alone others?"

Hearing this, Guo Ye heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out that they are envious and jealous. It doesn't matter. It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. I, Guo Ye, don't have the same knowledge as them!"

That's what Guo Ye said in his mouth, it's really uncomfortable to be isolated, and his face is depressed.

Kong Yingda, the old Shangshu, said in a deep voice: "It's not all like this. The main reason is that your rise, Guo Ye, has broken the balance of the three departments in the court. Now in the court, the Shilin Qingliu department, the Tiance old minister department, and the rest of the party department are evenly matched. Forming a balance of power, the wind and the sea are calm. But your Majesty, I have given you a mansion in Zhuquefang. This is an honor that no minister has ever had since this dynasty! Pushed to the cusp of the storm, whether it is a blessing or a curse, old and dull, I still can't see it for the time being!"

Chen Kang and Chen Zhongda added: "There is one more thing, that is, the other two factions in the DPRK want to demonstrate to our Shilin Qingliu faction. They just want to tell people. What about the Minister of Rites, and what about the mansion given to the Suzaku? Without them both If there is no support from the department, then it is nothing!"

Ma Yuanju sneered: "They are trying to die. This is a housewarming ceremony ordered by His Majesty himself. If they don't come, it means they won't give His Majesty face!"

Kong Yingda poured cold water on her and said, "What I'm afraid of is that His Majesty is happy to see this! The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!"

After hearing this, Guo Ye was full of suspicion.

Hey, it seems that moving into Zhuquefang is not a good thing. Could it be that His Majesty Li Er started to trick me again?

At this moment, Sun Tzushan stumbled in and ran in, "It's not good, it's not good, His Majesty sent someone to pass the decree!"

Guo Ye wanted to arrange a welcoming position for Sun Zishan, which was his biggest mistake in this life.How did the emperor's edict be connected with "it's not good"?

It turned out that after Sun Zishan was reprimanded by Guo Ye, he felt that something was wrong today. Could it be that the direction of the court has changed?Is the Pingyang County Government going to be in disaster?

The more Sun Zishan thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he didn't dare to run away.At this moment, His Majesty Li Er sent someone to deliver the decree, and Sun Zishan wondered if that was the word, and this was the scene of Sun Zishan stumbling in!

It was Guo Ye's old acquaintance—Eunuch Shun—who came to deliver the decree!

His Majesty Li Er sent him to pass the decree, which shows his solemnity.

Just as Guo Ye and the others were about to kneel down, they were stopped by Eunuch Shun.It turned out that it was not an official order issued by His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er just wanted to hand over a congratulatory gift to Guo Ye to congratulate Guo Ye on his housewarming.

Since His Majesty Li Er sent someone to send the congratulatory gift, it at least shows that Guo Ye still has a certain weight in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

The officials of the Qingliu Department of Official Career breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty Li Er's congratulatory gift is a calligraphy painting.

What is written on it?All the officials present were looking forward to it.

Guo Ye ordered someone to open it, and there were only four big characters on it...

Chapter 1229

"The minister of the thigh!"

On the banner, the pen is strong and powerful, with four big characters written on it!

Now everyone understood that His Majesty Li Er was justifying Guo Ye's name.

How can the twists and turns in the hearts of the following courtiers be hidden from His Majesty Li Er?A well-timed calligraphic painting completely helped Guo Ye turn the situation around.

Li Er gave this calligraphy to Guo Ye, which is equivalent to telling people clearly: Dear friends, please see clearly, I am very optimistic about Guo Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!

His Majesty Li Er's words dispelled the speculation of those people with ulterior motives.

Guo Ye couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart, His Majesty Li Er is really bright and powerful in doing things!
