Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Every day now, he is consuming his relationship with His Majesty Li Er. When the relationship is exhausted, it will be the time for him to resign!

Guo Ye can't care about this anymore. The old lady's illness is getting worse day by day, sometimes worse than a moment, and a moment is worse than a moment, and she is about to die!

At a time like this, how could he care about fame and fortune? All his thoughts were devoted to treating the old lady's illness!

Although Guo Ye was so busy every day, seeking medical advice for the old lady, the miracle did not happen, and after half a month, the old lady still left!

Guo Ye is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the General of the Guards, the Duke of Pingyang County, and the old lady is also the wife of the imperial court. Logically speaking, there must be an endless stream of condolences!

However, to Guo Ye's surprise, all those who came to condolence were low-level officials below the fifth rank, and none of the dignitaries in the court came!

Guo Ye's heart is so tired and crooked, Tiance's old ministers department, it's nothing more than the rest of the party department, why is there no movement from the big bosses of the Shilin Qingliu department?People like Kong Yingyuan, Ma Yuanju, and Chen Zhongda used to be called brothers and sisters, so why are none of them missing now!

This is really employing people forward, not backward!When I, Guo Ye, is useful, I will be a capable member of your Shilin Qingliu Department. If you don’t need me, just throw me away like a piece of paper!With this kind of behavior, you still call yourself a gentleman, I bah, hypocrite!

It wasn't them who depressed Guo Ye the most, but Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and Chai Shao, the father-in-law Huo Guogong!Because of the relationship between Yu Nuannuan, Li Jing and Guo Ye have a good relationship, and he himself is famous for his loyalty in history, so why is he now revealing his essence of adapting to the wind?

As for Huo Guogong Chai Shao, that's even more wrong!The two families are real relatives. If others don't come to express their condolences, it can be said that they don't have that kind of friendship. Why don't you come?Well... Let me find a reason for you. You are not in good health and can't come, so why doesn't your eldest son Chai Lingwen come?

You are the brother-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, even if I, Guo Ye, are going to be unlucky, it is so difficult that you can be involved?

Until the day of the funeral, the situation has not changed at all!All the dignitaries and dignitaries were missing, and officials below the fifth rank, three or two big cats and kittens came!Guo Ye took a closer look, Nima and these officials didn't know any of them, and they had no friendship at all!The conversation between these few people made him even more angry!

"I said brother, do you think the Duke of Pingyang is really dying!"

"Nonsense, he is doomed this time! What are the ministers in the court trying to do with him? They intend to plot rebellion! In this kind of thing, it is better to believe it or not! It is better to kill the wrong than to let it go! Just take his official position, It's cheap for him!"

"Then why are you still here, not afraid of those people's jealousy?"

"Hi! What am I afraid of as a seventh-rank official? Every time a local official comes over, I don't have my share. How can it be so miserable? What if some miracle happens, we are here to give Pingyang The magistrate is holding the show, can he not think of me?"

"I'm not as thoughtful as you are! I'm not here to burn a cold stove!"

"Then you have friendship with Pingyang County Lord?"

"I don't have much friendship, but... it's hard to be an official in Beijing! With that little salary, I can't even support my family. The Duke of Pingyang has a lot of food and drink here, and there are not many people here. We just come here for a few minutes. Meal, improve food!"

There were those who cooked cold stoves, and those who ate food. When Guo Ye heard this, his face turned green with anger!At this moment, Sun Tzushan stumbled in and ran in, saying, "Teacher, there is a distinguished visitor!"

Chapter 1449 Three Wills (1)

VIP?

Guo Ye was overjoyed and went out to welcome him in person!

But when he looked at people, Guo Ye's nose was so crooked!

The so-called honored guest is none other than Master Changsun!Behind him, there were more than 100 people standing in unison, and they were the guards who were on the mission with Guo Ye!

Guo Ye stared and said, "Sun Zishan, is this what you call a distinguished guest?"

"Teacher, don't be dissatisfied! Today is different from the past. Look at the people who mourn the old lady. The highest one is the sixth-rank official! I don't even look radiant! Master Changsun is also You are a fourth-rank official, and you can pull out generals from within, so you can make do with it!"

That's right!

In any case, Master Changsun was able to come, and it was enough to give him face!Much better than those officials of the Shilin Qingliu Department and his old man Chai Shao!

Let Master Changsun and these guards into the mourning hall, offer incense to the old lady, and burn paper!Master Changsun and the guards took out elegiac couplets and elegiac curtains to see the old lady off!

Seeing these elegiac couplets and elegiac curtains, Guo Ye felt relieved!The old lady has paid a lot to herself, so I have to give the old lady a grand funeral!It's easy to talk about money, but the key is that the popularity is far behind!They are all elegiac couplets of some low-level officials, how can they be worthy of the status of an old lady?

But with the elegiac couplets of these guards, it will be different!Although their rank is low, their status is high!On the elegiac couplet, it is often written that the second son of a certain country pays tribute, the son of a certain uncle pays respects, and the younger brother of a certain servant bows his head...

There was even a guard who was the prince of a certain small country, who directly wrote Yours sincerely from a certain country!This elegiac couplet looks like a high-end atmosphere, low-key luxury and connotation!

Guo Ye's vanity has been satisfied like never before!

At the same time, he was also secretly surprised at the potential power of these guards!

No wonder I killed sixty guards like stabbing a hornet's nest, His Majesty Li Er couldn't even protect himself!The origins of this group of people are unambiguous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were born with a golden key in their mouths!

They don't need to work hard at all, and they can get fame and fortune at their fingertips!In the end, because of himself, he died young and buried his bones in a foreign land. Can their family bear this humiliation?

After everything was over, someone took these guards to rest, and Guo Ye let Master Changsun into the living room!

Guo Ye said: "General Changsun, thank you, thank you! Lu Yao knows that horsepower can see people's hearts for a long time, and today I, Guo Ye, can see who is my real friend! From now on, we will be in trouble..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that his confidence was insufficient. It is not a good thing to share weal and woe. As for sharing blessings, will he still have a day to stand up?

He changed his tune and said, "From now on, you are my true friend, Guo Ye! If you need me, Guo Ye, just speak up!"

Grandmaster Changsun said: "Mr. Pingyang, you are being polite! Speaking of which, it was my Grandmaster Changsun who got you in trouble. If you don't give money to the brothers, there will be nothing like this!"

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about it! In the end, it's because of the death of some brothers that their families blamed me on Guo Ye! This is human nature, I don't blame them!"

"You are so magnanimous, I will admire you in the end!"

"Don't call yourself the last general, the last general, I won't be the Duke of Pingyang for a long time, maybe in a few days I will want your eldest grandson!"

"Don't dare to be! The words of Pingyang County Duke are really killing the last general!"

Guo Ye took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, you can call me whatever you want! I can tell you that Guo Ye is very kind if you can come to mourn our old lady! But don't stay here for too long, you will leave in a while Bar!"

"Why is that?"

"Why are you so confused? His Majesty suspected that I bought people's hearts. If you don't understand me anymore, what should Your Majesty think? Anyway, I don't care. I won't be an official for a long time. If there are too many lice, don't bite me. Don't worry if there are too many! You still have a bright future, I can't drag you down!"

Master Changsun smiled slightly and said: "Pingyang County Lord, you are thinking wrong! Don't say that we stay with you for a day or two, even if we stay for ten days and half a month, it won't affect my brother. our future!"

"What? Are you planning to resign as well?"

"That's not true! It's because... Lord Pingyang, I'll tell you the reason. You can't look down on my eldest grandson because of this!"

"Stop talking nonsense! In my current situation, my father-in-law Lao Taishan is always avoiding me. As long as you can come, you will treat me as a friend of Guo Ye. No matter what the reason is, I will not look down on you!"

"To tell you the truth, I heard that the old lady is gone, so I wanted to come, but I didn't dare!"

"Then why are you here today?"

"His Majesty... His Majesty sent us here, and we are ordering condolences! Just wait, Your Majesty will have an order later! Don't worry, your Majesty will not let you do so much for the great Tang Dynasty. Get lost!"

"Your Majesty?" Guo Ye smiled wryly, and said, "I'm afraid His Majesty will not be able to save me this time! No matter whether he has suspicions about me or not, he will definitely deal with me! I'm afraid I will call you to express my condolences this time." Our old lady is helping me for the last time!"

"You mean, the condemned should be given a good meal before being killed?"

"Exactly!"

At this moment, Sun Tzushan ran in again and said, "Teacher, something is wrong, the holy... imperial decree is here!"
