Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

However, his mother was in danger, so Guo Ye could only go to Luo Er Sao Po for a try. This is the same as seeking medical treatment from Chinese medicine in later generations with advanced cancer.

So now the old monk is looking for reasons to shirk, Guo Ye is not very sad, but he just can't hold back his face!

As for the old monk's nonsensical merit theory, he didn't even take it to heart!These words are just to coax His Majesty Li Er, but they cannot deceive Guo Ye who comes from the modern society with advanced information and has read countless online novels!

If he wants to, Guo Ye can make up countless theories to prove the absurdity of the old monk's theory!But what's the point?He said disheartenedly: "Since this is the case, don't bother the great monk! Thank you for clarifying Guo Ye's doubts!"

"Pingyang County Lord is polite! Although the young monk can't cure the old Fengjun, if one day the old Fengjun unfortunately passes away, the poor monk is willing to recite the "Infinite Life Sutra" for the old Fengjun on July 49th, and wish him an early ascension Bliss!"

Uh... the old lady is not dead yet, the old monk is ready to chant sutras!I don't know if the old monk can't speak, or he deliberately cursed the old lady to die!

Seeing the old monk's innocent eyes, Guo Ye snorted coldly and didn't answer!

The divine monk Luoer Sapo didn't help much, and His Majesty Li Er also felt a little sorry, saying: "Guo Aiqing has been an envoy to Goguryeo for more than a year, and the journey has been hard! You don't have to go to court these days. I will give you a month's vacation. Rest well at home! As for the rewards for your mission to Goguryeo, don't worry, I have my own arrangements!"

His Majesty Li Er said it politely, Guo Ye knew that this was an opportunity for him to accompany the old lady through the last journey of life, and fulfill the responsibility of a son of man!

Guo Ye bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

……

On this day, Guo Ye was sitting bored at home, when suddenly someone came to report that Mr. Chai Lingwen came to visit!

Guo Ye let Chai Lingwen into the living room and divided the guests and hosts into seats.

Guo Ye said: "Master Chai, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

Chai Lingwen said: "Don't come here, you are so yin and yang! My mother-in-law is not in good health. I know you are not happy these days, but if you have evil fire, don't send it to me! You think I want to come, but someone forced me to come. !"

"Who?"

"Of course it's our father!"

"Father-in-law?"

"Exactly! I said brother-in-law, do you know that you are about to face disaster!"

Chapter 1445 2 years in prison

If it was just Chai Lingwen who said that he was about to face disaster, Guo Ye would definitely scoff at him. This young master Chai is a bit talented in business, and in terms of official means, he is far worse than Guo Ye!

But this time he was delivering a message for Huo Guogong, Chai Shao, so Guo Ye had to pay attention to it!Guo Ye is in a high position at a young age, and his scheming is the best choice. In general, Chai Shao doesn't need to worry about it at all!Now that he sent Chai Lingwen to send a message, it can only show that the matter is very serious!

He asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

Chai Lingwen glanced around, and said: "I said brother-in-law, do you know that you have already stabbed a hornet's nest! Now, eight out of ten of the memorials received by His Majesty are impeachment of you!"

"Impeach me for what?"

"You can say anything! Some impeach you for corruption, some impeach you for accepting bribes, some impeach you for provoking quarrels, some impeach you for laxity and embezzlement of spoils! Some even impeach you for robbing women... …Read the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" again, basically there is no crime that you haven't committed!"

Guo Ye sneered and said: "It's all nonsense! I, Guo Ye, act rightly and behave well. They can say whatever they like! Your majesty is wise and smart, and you are sure to not let these people's tricks succeed!"

Chai Lingwen said: "There is a saying that three people become a tiger. These people talk about it in front of His Majesty all day, so you have so much confidence in His Majesty?"

Guo Ye sighed and said, "Then what else can I do? Go up to Zhezi to defend myself? Your Majesty didn't ask me, and I can't argue! What can my father-in-law do!"

Chai Ershao said: "My father sent me to pass on a message to you... to advance by retreating!"

"Advance by retreat? What do you mean?"

"He... what the old man means is..." Second Young Master Chai stammered, "Let you take the initiative... to resign from office!" After speaking, Second Young Master Chai covered his ears, lowered his head, and was ready to welcome Guo Ye anger!

To his sudden surprise, Guo Ye nodded and said calmly, "It's a good idea! That's exactly what I mean!"

Seeing that Guo Ye wasn't annoyed at all, Second Young Master Chai couldn't figure it out, and said, "I said brother-in-law, you... aren't you mad with anger? You're resigning from office! Why aren't you angry at all?"

Guo Ye said: "Why should I be angry?"

"This is resignation! You have made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty over the years, isn't it just for high-ranking officials? Just because of the slanderous words of these villains, you resigned from office. You can swallow this breath ?”

"Of course I can swallow this breath. I already knew why these people impeached me! It's not because I lost a lot of guards when I went to Goguryeo! These guards are the children of high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty. My family blamed me for impeaching me! I don’t blame them, if Guo Ye’s resignation can make them vent their anger, I have no complaints!”

Chai Lingwen said: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to swallow this breath. It's obviously not my fault, so why should I be held responsible!"

Guo Ye said with emotion: "What can't you think about it? These brothers fought for the country, and their lives were involved! Husband and wife cannot get together, father and son cannot reunite! And I, Guo Ye, not only live, but also enjoy the family happiness! Bi, I have gained too much and lost too little, what is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"Brother-in-law, I used to think that you people in the officialdom are thick-faced and selfish! Listening to your words today, I am convinced! Your mind is not as good as I, Chai Lingwen!"

Guo Ye chuckled and said, "It's just resignation, how can it be so great? I can resign, but His Majesty may not approve it!"

"Ah... ah?"

"My father-in-law told you to make progress by retreating, not by taking a step back! If my official is really gone, how can I advance? These are just for show, to show those high-ranking officials whose children have died, and let them go out. It’s all about tone! Your Majesty is a generation of enlightened rulers, so he will definitely not allow it!”

"Black! Really black! You officials are really black! I take back what I just said!"

……

……

Within two days, someone delivered an order for Guo Ye to attend the court meeting!

When Guo Yexin said that, he didn't panic, and acted according to plan!Hearing the news that Guo Ye was about to resign, His Majesty Li Er fell silent!He asked: "The Duke of Pingyang has to resign because of some gossip. What do you love?"

What he meant was that he waited for someone to intercede for Guo Ye, and then he agreed with the trend!Punish Guo Ye with several years of salary, and give everyone an explanation, and this matter is over!

However, things are not as expected!

A person walked out from the ranks of civil servants, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, if the Duke of Pingyang wants to escape punishment by resigning, I'm afraid it's too cheap for him!"

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said: "These impeachments are all speculations and false accusations! Don't think that I don't know why you are going to impeach the Duke of Pingyang! The Duke of Pingyang can't bear the turmoil in the court, and is willing to resign from office to calm things down. .It shows how high-spirited and bright! Don't push yourself too far!"

The man said: "Your Majesty still has one more matter to impeach the Duke of Pingyang. This matter is based on solid evidence, not just speculation!"

Guo Ye looked at this person, but he didn't recognize him!He asked, "Who are you?"

The man said: "I'm Cui Hanjin, the Minister of Rites, and I'm still your subordinate! It's just that you haven't shown up in the Ministry of Rites, and we've never seen each other before!"

As soon as he said his surname was Cui, Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Are you from the Boling Cui family?"

"Exactly! Duke Pingyang, so you have been convicted?"

"What crime do you know? Your Boling Cui family has a grudge against me, Guo Ye. Today you want to take the opportunity to falsely accuse me, but you made a wrong calculation! Your Majesty is well aware of the details, and will definitely not let you succeed!"

Cui Hanjin sneered, and said: "It is precisely because His Majesty is aware of the details, Duke Pingyang, you are doomed today!"
