Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"I dare not!"

"It's not very honorable for you to get a thousand hectares of fertile land. That document is in my hands! If you say gambling is a bit far-fetched, if you say it is a bit of a plunder! The two must be one of the two, Qin Guogong, what do you think?"

In any case, Guo Ye didn't pay any money, so he took the family property worth tens of millions of Boling Cui, which was considered a sideline of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.If His Majesty Li Er turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, Guo Ye would be able to pass the test with ease.If he pursued it seriously, Guo Ye would not be able to please him!

At this moment, I can only count on His Majesty Li Er's mercy!

Guo Ye stood up, knelt down on the ground again, and said, "I'm guilty!"

His Majesty Li Er ignored him and continued: "Duke Qin, do you know that this thousand hectares of fertile land is half of the land of the Boling Cui clan, and Cui Jiuyan, the patriarch of the Boling Cui clan, died by hanging himself! I don't care much about Tang Law Familiar, do you think this counts as killing people?"

Guo Ye really didn't know about this. When Cui Jiuyan died, Guo Ye left Banqiao Town and returned to Chang'an City!

It's no small matter that someone died!

Guo Ye secretly thought, what exactly does His Majesty Li Er mean?Do you want to use this reason to punish me?Fuck, this is over. It seems that His Majesty Li Er still hasn't let me go, but the charge of treason is a bit far-fetched, so he let me go temporarily.

This time His Majesty Li Er came prepared, could it be that I am doomed?

Seeing Guo Ye's uncertain and distorted face, His Majesty Li Er said again: "Duke Qin, speak up!"

"The minister deserves death!"

"It's good to know that you are wrong, so how should I punish you?"

"No matter what punishment your majesty gives to the minister, the minister will never complain! The minister deserves what he deserves!"

"Then punish you as the master of Lijingmen!"

Guo Ye was taken aback by His Majesty Li Er's words, and said, "What? What did you say, Your Majesty?"

"I will cancel your Ding You vacation and punish you as the head of the Lijing Clan! You will take office immediately, and there will be no mistakes!"

Lijingmen is His Majesty Li Er's secret service agency, which is responsible for the supervision of Tang officials!

Since its establishment, this organization has never been made public, and it has no establishment in the Tang court. It belongs to the private force of His Majesty Li Er, and the funds are directly obtained from the internal treasury of His Majesty Li Er, without going through the Ministry of Household Affairs!

Most officials have only heard of this institution, but have never dealt with it!Even because this organization is too mysterious, many officials think that this organization does not exist at all, it is just a non-existent rumor!

Hearing that he was going to be the master of the Lijing Sect, Guo Ye's heart was filled with turmoil, and he was thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said: "Your Majesty, I have made such a big mistake, why are you making such a big mistake?" Did you give me a promotion?"

"Make a mistake? What counts as a mistake? If you do something that doesn't suit my wishes, even if you do it right, it's still a mistake! On the contrary, if you do something that suits my wishes, even if you do it wrong, it's still right!"

Guo Yexin said that His Majesty Li Er was stimulated by what, why did he say this, how could he sound like a foolish king, so he could say it?He said: "Then what do you mean, the five noble clans..."

"I'm talking about the five great clans!" His Majesty Li Er said darkly: "The five clans pretend to be noble, and they don't pay attention to the people of the world. Even if I, the Li family of Taiyuan, ascended the throne, they are still too far away from us. The Li family is lukewarm! It is tolerable and unbearable! I don’t understand, what is so awesome about the five major clans, if you talk about high-ranking officials, Cui Hanjin is the highest among the five major clans, and he is a fourth-rank official! In terms of talents, the five great gentry have never heard of any talents!"

"So, they overreached and provoked you?"

"Provoke? They don't have the qualifications yet! It's just that they are a little ignorant of current affairs! Among the five major clans, there is a Longxi Li family, and my Taiyuan Li family thinks that everyone's surname is Li, and they all have some reputation, so I want to promote them and let them The Longxi Li family merged into our Taiyuan Li family, but they refused! How ignorant of good and evil!"

Guo Ye understood as soon as he heard it, isn't it Lianzong?The Li family in Taiyuan wants to join the Li family in Longxi, but they won't do it!

This... There is only one possibility, people look down on the Taiyuan Li family!

No wonder His Majesty Li Er lost his temper so much!It's really aggrieved to be looked down upon after becoming the emperor!He hates the house and the black, he doesn't even look up to the five great noble families!Guo Ye put the Boling Cui family together, and hit the right side, just to give His Majesty Li Er a sigh of relief!

Of course, this is just Guo Ye's guess.

Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and His Majesty Li Er is a wise king through the ages. He must have opinions on the five great noble families. It must not only be because of this incident. This is just a fuse. There must be a deeper reason.But His Majesty Li Er didn't say anything, so Guo Ye didn't need to ask in detail, as long as he knew His Majesty Li Er's attitude!

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for you to promote a minister because of this. After all, your reason cannot be brought to the court to talk about it!"

"Don't worry, do you think the master of the Lijing Clan is public? This matter is well known, you know, I know, it is enough for everyone in the Lijing Clan to know! There is no need to announce it to the world at all! Promoted to an official, the master of the Lijing Gate has no rank!"

"Who was the former owner of Lijingmen?"

"Far in the sky, right in front of you!"

"Could it be General Changsun, disrespect and disrespect! Back in Banqiao Town, when I asked you if you were from the Lijing family, you still didn't admit it. You deceived me so badly!"

"Qin Guogong, people in the Lijing Clan are not allowed to reveal their identities to the outside world. I can't do anything about it due to the rules of the Clan! I will be your subordinate in the future, so please forgive me! Also, if you say something wrong, I can't help it!" Not the master of the Lijing Sect, but the deputy sect master!"

"This is not right... His Majesty just said that the master of the Lijing Gate is far away in the sky, in front of his eyes! There is no one else here!"

His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly, and said: "I'm not wrong! Because the previous master of the Lijing Clan is me! Guo Aiqing, you won my Qin Guogong yesterday, and today you got my Li Jing Clan master, we two are really good friends! It's fate!"

Chapter 1454

The owner of the Lijing Gate is His Majesty Li Er. If this news gets out, His Majesty Li Er's fame will be wiped out in one day!

As an emperor, it's not a good idea to engage in espionage methods against his ministers, let alone doing it himself?

This big secret came out of His Majesty Li Er's mouth and entered into Guo Ye's ears, which meant that His Majesty Li Er's mind was fixed, and Guo Ye couldn't hide it!

He knelt down on the ground and said: "Thank you for your great love, I will definitely do my best and die! However...the minister is still in Ding You, and there are so many inconveniences in moving, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task! Can you wait for the expiration of Ding You's term? Make arrangements?"

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "It's not that serious! No matter how inconvenient your actions are, how can it be inconvenient for me? If I can't leave the palace, I can handle the affairs of Li Jingmen properly. No matter how restrained you are, Also much stronger than me?"

"How can a humble minister compare with Your Majesty? Your Majesty is a genius from heaven, and it is easy to deal with a small Lijing family. But I have little talent and learning, so I am afraid that it will delay His Majesty's important event!"

"Short of talent and learning? Hehe, what's the matter with your Dongchang? The owner of Dongchang is called Dark Ye, right? The person next to you who is nicknamed 'Turtle Dove' and whose real name is Li Zhiting is also from Dongchang, right?"

Guo Ye's expression changed, and he said, "So, you know everything?"

"Joke! My Lijingmen has been established for more than [-] years. What troubles in Datang can hide my Lijingmen? Your Dongchang has indeed done a lot of things that are beneficial to Datang, but There are so many things that are not good for my Tang Dynasty! If there is no cover for me, do you think your Dongchang can be safe and sound until now?"

Guo Ye was so frightened that he was drenched in cold sweat. The Dongchang incident happened, this is no joke!He has a lot of shady things related to Dongchang, such as Empress Yunrong, Yu Wenqian, some shady money... If all these dark histories are found out, he can't bear to go around!

How much does His Majesty Li Er know?

He said: "The minister deserves death for his crimes, please punish him, Your Majesty!"

"Don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded. Who can have no selfishness? As long as you sincerely do things for me, even if some things are not done properly, I will be tolerant! On the contrary, if you are too selfish, no matter how great the credit is, I don't like it either! Guo Aiqing, now that things are going on, are you willing to be the master of the Lijing Clan?"

"Since this is the case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful! But there is a saying, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

"Guo Aiqing just tell me!"

"Since the Lijing Gate has always been decided by His Majesty, why is it handed over to the humble minister now?"

His Majesty Li Er sighed, and said: "The main duty of the Lijing Gate is to supervise the officials. To put it bluntly, it is to spy on people's privacy! It is really detrimental to morality. I have been studying Buddhism recently, and I deeply feel that This is inappropriate! Therefore, I do not intend to become the master of the Lijing Clan!"

Guo Ye looked at His Majesty Li Er with an aggrieved face, and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean to say, if you don't want to do this kind of immoral thing, let the minister do it? Do not do to others what you don't want to do to others. Isn't it a bit... unkind?"

"Hey, I can't help it. Although the Lijingmen are detrimental to Yin and virtue, without the Lijingmen, I feel like I'm missing a pair of glasses and an ear! How can I give up so lightly? I have no choice but to do this! "

"Then why did you give the position of head of Lijingmen to Wei Chen instead of someone else??"
