Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er said with satisfaction: "Well, you just need to acknowledge Duke Qin's contribution. I have made up my mind. This time, the ceremony to welcome Duke Qin must be specially organized. Otherwise, it is not enough to show my intention to treat heroes generously!"

"Then I wonder who His Majesty is going to send to welcome him?"

"I will welcome you personally!"

"What?"

Man court civil and military, dumbfounded!

Chapter 1684 The Suburb War (1)

His Majesty Li Er greeted Guo Ye's return in person. To use a ready-made word, it was Tianzi Jiaoying.

This is no small matter.

Guo Ye seized the Turkic Khan, did His Majesty Li Er welcome him?

No!

Li Jing slaughtered the city and destroyed the country. When he returned from Tianzhu, did His Majesty Li Er welcome him?

No!

The Queen of Tianzhu, Raja Shili, took the initiative to pay pilgrimage to the Tang Dynasty, did His Majesty Li Er welcome her?

still none!

Why today, His Majesty Li Er is going to welcome Guo Ye!

This... This is not only against the rules, it is simply unreasonable!

His Majesty Li Er took a look around and said: "Since all the Aiqing have no objection, then this matter is settled. Wei Aiqing is fully responsible for the specific affairs of Jiaoying. Three days later, I will personally welcome Qin Guogong. "

wow~~

As soon as His Majesty Li Er said these words, it was as if a gunpowder keg was ignited, and the hall was filled with voices!

"I object!"

"I have objections!"

"Your Majesty is absolutely impossible!"

"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!"

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Did you sleep too late last night and wake up too early today..."

Of course, everyone is a person of status, it is impossible to be like a shrew, making noise all the time!After less than a quarter of an hour, the noise gradually became smaller.

His Majesty Li Er coughed lightly, and peace was restored in the hall.The officials all looked at His Majesty Li Er eagerly, hoping that he would withdraw his order.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Wei Aiqing, you were the loudest just now. Tell me first, why can't I welcome Duke Qin?"

Wei Zheng sneered, and said: "There are too many reasons for my objection. I really don't know where to start. Now I want to ask His Majesty, what is the reason why you want to welcome Duke Qin? If there is a credible reason, I can accept it!"

"Reliable reasons? You said it yourself, this is a trivial matter, and I can be arbitrary. Why is it that I am arbitrary now, and you don't admit it?"

Yu Chigong shook his big black head, and said: "That's right! Let me tell you, old Wei, you are always upright, outspoken and dare to advise, and I, Yuchi Gong, admire you. But what you did today is not very authentic. Go to Xiaoli Say, what you say is that you don’t count your words. If you talk about it in Dali, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Duke E, I know that you have a good relationship with Duke Qin. But if you really want Duke Qin's good, you should help me persuade His Majesty not to welcome Duke Qin. This matter will do harm to Duke Qin, but not any benefit!"

"Huh? Will it be detrimental to my brother? You have to tell me about it."

"Because Qin Guogong couldn't bear such honor and favor from His Majesty!"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "If the Duke of Qin really made great achievements, let alone His Majesty offered to meet him in person. Even if His Majesty didn't mention it, I, Wei Zheng, would have to submit a memorial and ask His Majesty to welcome him. But the problem now is , Qin Guogong's contribution is really mediocre, how can His Majesty personally greet him, how can he convince the people of the world? When the time comes, the public will be raging, and Qin Guogong's name will be completely stink!"

After hearing this, Yu Chigong scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Old Wei said makes sense. If you give Qin Guogong such great honor and favor, it will probably backfire and go against your original intention of loving Qin Guogong. I'm old black, let's forget about this matter!"

Wei Zheng also knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is the lord of the people, and the ultimate goal is to reward and punish fairness. I hope that your majesty will take it back!"

"I hope His Majesty will take it back!"

"I hope His Majesty will take it back!"

"I hope His Majesty will take it back!"

……

……

Hulala, all the officials knelt on the ground!

His Majesty Li Er gave Yu Chigong a hard look, and said: "Mr. E, the original purpose of you and Wei Zheng is to persuade me not to welcome Duke Qin? Hmph, playing this trick in front of me, this is Do you regard me as a fool? Do you really think that I can't even see your little tricks?"

Yu Chigong showed no shame, and said: "It is because you are a Daoming Lord that I dare to use this kind of trick. If you are a fool, I, Yuchi Gong, would have gone home to farm early, how dare I say three things in the court Four?"

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Well, that's not bad."

Wei Zhengdao: "So, do you agree not to welcome the Duke of Qin again? Your Majesty accepts advice humbly. Above the history books, what happened today will surely become a good story!"

Yuchi Gong also said: "Even Duke Qin knew about today's events, and he must not agree with His Majesty's Jiao Ying. I thank Your Majesty on behalf of him!"

"No! I haven't changed my mind!" His Majesty Li Er said solemnly: "I have decided on the matter of Tianzijiao welcoming Qin Guogong, and there is nothing to change!"

Without waiting for the ministers to object, His Majesty Li Er said again: "I want to welcome Qin Guogong in the suburbs, so there is a reason for me."

Wei Zheng would not be dismissed by His Majesty Li Er with such a few words, and asked: "May I ask your Majesty, what is the reason?"

"The reason is that I want to distinguish between rewards and punishments. The merits of Qin Guogong are worthy of my personal reception! As for the specific merits, this matter is of great importance and cannot be announced publicly. We can only tell the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries. Of course, Wei Aiqing can also listen."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he didn't say anything more.Anyway, if His Majesty Li Er lowered his face and lied as an emperor, he would have to pass his own test.

Yu Chigong shyly said: "Your Majesty, although our official position is a bit lower, but...but..."

"Forget it! Don't think about the reason, count yourself in!"

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

After the morning court, His Majesty Li Er hadn't sat down to drink. Dong Shun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the left servant of the Shangshu shot Li Jing, the right servant of the Shangshu shot Fang Xuanling, and the Zhongshu ordered Wei Zheng..."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, interrupted Dong Shun's words, and said, "Is it true that all the important court officials have come?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Show them in!"

"According to the order!"
