Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Before the group of people settled down, Guo Ye invited Yuchi Gong over.

When Yu Chigong saw Guo Ye, he burst out laughing and said, "Brother, you miss me so much! There's nothing to say, let's get drunk today!"

"That's not allowed. I'm not allowed to drink alcohol while I'm in Dingyou. I've set up a banquet, but today you're the only one drinking. I, Guo Ye, will replace wine with tea. Let me toast you a few more glasses!"

"If you don't drink, what's the point of drinking it by myself? If you really don't want to drink, then I'll leave. Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and the others are waiting for me! That means we two brothers get along well, I just went to your banquet. There are too many people who want to drink with me!"

"Don't go, don't go!" Guo Ye stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "I didn't come here to meet you for a drink, but to discuss something important!"

"what's up?"

Guo Ye didn't pick up his words, pondered for a while, and said, "Duke E, I heard that you and the divine monk Luoer Sapo are not on good terms?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Don't worry about it, you just think I'm curious. I just want to know why you want to assassinate the god monk Luoer Sapo?"

Yuchi Gong lowered his voice and said, "I tell you, don't spread this matter to the outside world!"

"You say!"

"Nima, this old monk is no joke! He's talking small things about me to His Majesty!"

"What did he say about you?"

"He told His Majesty, Yu Chigong looks vicious, and there is a rebellious bone in the back of his head, and he will rebel in the future! Let Your Majesty plan for the world and get rid of me as soon as possible!"

"Day!" Guo Ye couldn't help swearing, and said: "This kind of thing is illusory, and you can't explain it clearly even if you are full of mouth! Besides, this is not a matter of explanation. The problem of appearance is given by the parents in the sky. What can I do? This old monk is really insidious. Eh... no, how did you know what he said to His Majesty?"

Yu Chigong chuckled, and said: "We, Yuchi Gong, don't say anything else, but we are very popular! When the old monk complained, he was overheard by His Majesty's eunuch. There was a eunuch named Xu Ziqi. I think when he was in the Qin Palace, I had a few drinks with our big boss Hei, and we have a little friendship. He told me about it. Do you think we, Yu Chigong, can suffer from this secret loss? I invited him to drink on the night of the news, and took the opportunity to ask for a drink. His life!"

"But... you still failed?"

"Yeah, this old monk really has some skills, I just can't get in with this dagger! You know what happened later, we were demoted from Chang'an and became a small governor in Dingzhou City, I was really aggrieved ah!"

Yu Chigong drank a glass of wine and continued: "I never told anyone about the cause of the incident, you were the first to know about it. I, Yuchi Gong, are not the ones who betrayed my friends. I just said that I have no complaints with Luoer Sapo Wu Qiu, I was drunk that night and didn't know anything!"

Guo Ye thought to himself, it seems that this big old black is really rough and fine!He said: "Duke E, the reason I came to you today is because of Luo Er Sao!"

"What? He doesn't deal with you? Good thief, one day I will tie him up. Let's not stab him with a sword, but just flood him with fire. !"

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said: "No matter how powerful Luo Er Sapo is, she's just a foreign monk, and it's hard to be elegant. Just to deal with him, Guo Ye alone is enough, why do I need you?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Duke E, have you ever thought about it? You dealt with Luoer Sapo because he slandered His Majesty to frame you. But why doesn't he speak ill of others, but only speak ill of you?"

Yu Chigong glared, and said: "Guo Ye, what do you mean by that? Do you also think that I, Yu Chigong, have rebellious bones in the back of my head?"

"Of course not! On the contrary, the reason why Luoer Sapo framed you is because you are the most loyal to His Majesty! Lord E, let me tell you clearly, it is not you who are really going against you, but Luoer Sapo!"

Chapter 1485 Absolute Loyalty

Yu Chigong glared, and said: "What? Luoer Sapo wants to rebel?"

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha, brother Guo, I didn't expect you to be so young, and you are so capable of framing! My brother told you, you don't need to punish those useless people. Don't you just think that Luoer Sapo is not pleasing to your eyes? Slowly say that he offended him before. Even if you didn't offend me, but only offended you, the old brother will help you out. When he is not with His Majesty, I will bring someone to tie him up and fry him. You can enjoy it !"

"Mr. E, you misunderstood me. I am not framing you! I know what you mean. It is indeed a joke that Luo Ersuo Po wants to rebel alone. However, I suspect that he is just someone who popped up. It’s just a small person, it’s the people behind him who really want to rebel!”

"Who wants to rebel? Who wants to hurt King Qin, you have to ask Yuchi Jingde's male and female double whips to agree first!"

"Let me tell you the truth..." Guo Ye looked around and said in a low voice, "I really don't know who participated in the rebellion. But now in the imperial court, I am sure that no one participated in the rebellion, only two and a half people... "

"Two and a half?"

"Yes! One is myself. The other is you!"

"What about the other half?"

"It's His Majesty himself! But although His Majesty himself can't rebel against himself, he obeys Na Luoer Sapo's words, so he can only be counted as half!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? After all, we are the two brothers who can be trusted. I said Brother Guo, is your statement reliable? Is there any evidence?"

"If I have evidence, do I still need to consult with you? Why don't I just ask His Majesty? It is because there is no evidence that I asked you!"

Immediately afterwards, Guo Ye told Yu Chigong all those suspicious points!

After hearing these words, Yuchi Gong also had a solemn expression.He said in a deep voice, "When do you think they will start?"

"I can't say that! But the most likely time is the day when the elixir is completed. Everyone has a share in the elixir of immortality. It sounds so mysterious, and there must be something strange in it. Of course, if it is activated at other times, it is not impossible. ..."

"This statement is justified. Luo Er Sapo has won His Majesty's trust. It is too easy to harm His Majesty. The difficult thing is how to end up after harming His Majesty. The people behind him are thinking of seeking to usurp the throne, not the chaos of the world..."

"Okay, Duke E, I didn't realize that your big black head is really good!"

"Hehe, you haven't seen our true skills yet! Think about it, back then, there were so many fierce generals in the Qin Palace, such as Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, and Hou Junji, who had long been famous all over the world. I, Yu Chigong, was the last to join As a general of Prince Qin's Palace, in terms of status and title, I rank first!"

Guo Ye couldn't understand, and said: "You are the first? This... is a bit of a bragging! Aren't you just a Duke of E?"

"You don't understand this. The same is the Duke of the state, but in fact there are high and low. I, Yu Chigong, now have [-] solid food seals. Among them, none of them has more than one solid food seal. Thousands of five hundred households. They are all the princes of the state, and the salary difference is more than half. Isn't it clear who is higher and who is lower?"

Thinking of his [-] sealed households, Guo Ye could only cry!Is what Yuchi Gong said reasonable?It just makes sense!

The court of the Tang Dynasty did not run a philanthropic hall either. When it comes to distributing salaries, it cannot be said to be stingy, nor can it be said to be generous.For example, there is a rule that if an official has a real seal, he can no longer receive the salary of the court!Because the minimum number of real seals is [-] households.The taxes paid by these three hundred households were much more than the salary of a first-rank official, so it is not a disadvantage.

Originally, Guo Ye was quite satisfied with the seal.But when you compare yourself with this big old black, you will know that people are deadly compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared with goods!My salary turned out to be less than one-tenth of this big black man!Nima is all working for His Majesty Li Er, why the income gap is so big!

Huh... No!Yu Chigong's words seemed a bit preposterous!

Guo Ye said unconvinced: "That's because you made great contributions to the Xuanwu Gate. It's just good luck! If I had been born more than ten years earlier..."

"You're being unreasonable. I don't know how you were born more than ten years earlier. But Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, and Hou Junji, who didn't participate in the Xuanwumen Incident? Of the three of them, which one's martial arts is better? Under me, Yu Chigong? How can I be allowed to enjoy great merit, while they can only eat leftovers?"

"That can only show that you are courageous and don't hesitate to mess around..." At this point, Guo Ye's heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Could it be that you are planning to make a decision before acting?"

"Haha, let's make up your mind and let you think about it yourself. We, Yu Chigong, don't like to talk big, that is, we fall in love with you, brother. I have never said this with others! In a word, you, old brother, don't It's that simple! You won't suffer if you recognize me as your big brother!"

Guo Ye said: "Knowing that you are so capable, I am relieved. You should work harder to eradicate this conspiracy. Among other things, your salary is ten times that of mine!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Your Majesty treats us Yu Chigong very well, and Yu Chigong has to be worthy of him! Whoever wants to prevent King Qin...ah, no, it's Your Majesty, whoever doesn't want His Majesty to be the emperor has to step over my corpse !"

"Well, you have been in the court much longer than I have. See who else can be absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and bring him in. Just the two of us, we are really alone!"

Yu Chigong thought for a while, and said: "No! Not a single one! This matter, we still have to rely on the two of us!"

"For example, Qin Erye, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, who are unparalleled in loyalty and steadfast in their righteousness?"
