Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Because those of us who haven't read the book just like things that are more affordable, and don't like those vain ones. For example, when Qin Guogong heard that my food town was three thousand households, he was so angry, his eyes It's all red..."

"Now Qin Guogong has no fewer food towns than you. What do you mean by this? Is it to ask for a reward for Qin Guogong?"

Yuchi Gong scratched his head, and said: "That's almost what it means. I feel that the emperor Jiaoying has boundless honor and favor, and the limelight is unparalleled for a while. It sounds good, but he is not affordable! After Jiaoying, Qin Guogong has nothing It's down...to inquire carefully again, ouch...this is completely exchanged for the title of King Qin, how disturbing it is! If I were Qin Guogong, I'm afraid not only I don't appreciate His Majesty, but also, and..."

"And what?"

"It's just... it's just... in my heart... just complaining for a while..."

If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare to say this even if they were killed.Saying it out means harboring resentment towards the king!If His Majesty Li Er is serious, it is a capital offense.To take a step back, even if His Majesty Li Er is magnanimous, if this is true, wouldn't there still be political enemies?How could they let go of such a good opportunity?All in all, as soon as these words are spoken, one foot has stepped into the gate of hell.

But Yu Chigong is different, the old man is not stingy, his words are unreliable, and he is utterly loyal to His Majesty Li Er, these reputations have already spread all over the world.Even if he said something that was too much, others could only laugh it off.No one would doubt his loyalty to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Yuchi Aiqing, listen to me slowly. The gift of the emperor's Jiaojiao is not a gift from Qin Guogong in exchange for the title of King Qin. It's not that the title of King Qin will not be given, but when Qin Guogong and Queen Shande get married Just give it. Wouldn’t it be better to have double happiness when the time comes?”

"Your Majesty, don't think that I, Yuchi Jingde, don't know anything if I don't study. Qin Guogong is the Minister of Rites of our Tang Dynasty. It is only natural for him to go to Xinluo when he has official business. If he has no official business, why should he go to Xinluo? Luo? Come back this time, and then go to Silla, it will take three to five years. To put it bluntly, if there is no holiday, my brother has something wrong, and the title of King Qin will be useless Is it? So, he exchanged the title of Duke of Qin for a gift from the suburbs."

"It's a joke, among so many of us, he is the youngest. How could it be possible...to be dead in three to five years?"

"I'm not cursing Duke Qin, Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty had such great achievements, he died at the age of 24, and Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms only lived to be 35 years old... How can such a thing be said for sure? All in all, I feel that this time Guo Ye suffered a loss."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Yu Chigong playfully, and said, "What does Yi Aiqing mean?"

"I think so, can we change it? Exchange the big gift from Jiaoying for other rewards to Duke Qin. For example, if you add three to five thousand things, Duke Qin will definitely be happy."

Zhang Liang said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, how can we bargain? What do you think of His Majesty's reward? Big old black, your request is too unreasonable. Besides, you are not Qin Guogong, how do you know what Qin Guogong likes? Presumptuously. Your Majesty, don't believe the nonsense of this old black man."

His Majesty Li Er shook his head, and said: "What Yu Chigong said is not completely unreasonable. You only reward honors, but you don't give any benefits. What is this called?"

Yuchi Gong said: "According to the folk saying, it's big talk to make small money! No...you didn't give money either...just talk big."

Wei Zheng couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Duke E, please be careful with your words!"

Yu Chi respectfully said: "I'm talking about Old Wei, I always feel that something is wrong with you today. It's Your Majesty who you should advise, what's the point of competing with my boss? Didn't you also object to His Majesty's suburban welcome to Qin Guogong? Why don't you say anything now? Is it? Where is your energy to swear to die?"

To put it bluntly, Wei Zheng's loyalty and daring to admonish is because His Majesty Li Er needs his loyalty and daring to admonish.His talent is good, but his strength of character is actually just that.In his life, Wei Zheng first returned to Li Mi, and then returned to Tang with Li Mi.Later, when he was fighting, he was captured by Dou Jiande and became Dou Jiande's living roommate.After being rescued, he took refuge in Prince Jiancheng and helped him deal with His Majesty Li Er.

After Prince Jiancheng was killed by His Majesty Li Er, he took refuge in His Majesty Li Er again.If he was really upright, he would have died long ago.

Now that it is about the ownership of the throne, Wei Zheng really doesn't have the guts to meddle in this matter, and is ready to follow the crowd.Unexpectedly, just after he said a few words to Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong brought the topic to himself.

Wei Zheng blushed, and said, "One moment and another moment. It turns out that someone Wei felt that His Majesty's award was inappropriate, so he would naturally speak out to persuade him."

"what about now?"

"Now...Wei Zheng feels that what His Majesty said makes sense!"

"Hmph! Wei Zheng, I, Yuchi Gong, have seen through you! Why are you upright, loyal and dare to advise? It's all for fame! You pretended to be deaf and dumb in the case of Monk Tianfu, and now you are still pretending to be deaf and dumb. You are pretending to understand. Be confused!"

"You...huh! This old man doesn't have the same knowledge as you!"

Yu Chigong actually forced Wei Zheng to retreat, and His Majesty Li Er was also a little hesitant, seeing that his strategy was going to fail.Zhang Liang couldn't bear it anymore, he said again: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it carefully, what Duke E said is indeed reasonable."

"Are you also in favor of exchanging the suburban welcome gift for other rewards?"

"That's not necessary. What I mean is that besides the gift from the suburbs, you can also give Qin Guogong other rewards to make up for his loss of not being the King of Qin for the time being..."

"Then add food to Duke Qin?"

Yu Chigong originally said that adding food to Guo Ye was to disturb the matter of Jiaoying, but now Zhang Liang's suggestion did not meet his expectations, so he quickly said: "I thought about it again, adding food is not a big deal. That's right. That's the King of Qin. The entire Chang'an City is under his jurisdiction. What a prestige it is. To compensate for the loss of the King of Qin, how much food do you have to add? You can't add 10,000+ households, right?"

For the sake of Li You's throne, Wei Ting changed his mind quickly, and said, "Of course it is impossible to add a food city with 10,000+ households. However, if you want to have the prestige of the King of Qin, it is not just a way to add a food city. Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Now that the Chang'an order has just been vacant, it is better to let Qin Guogong take over."

Yuchi Gong was dumbfounded, and said: "Chang'an order?"

"It's the Chang'an Order. The public security of Chang'an City is under the jurisdiction of Duke Qin, and his prestige is no less than King Qin's."

"How can that be done? Qin Guogong's Minister of Rites is a second member, but Chang'an Ling is only a fifth rank. Let Qin Guogong be Chang'an Ling, it is not a reward, it is clearly relegation!"

Wei Ting smiled slightly, and said: "Duke Qin can continue to be his secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the leader of the Weifu General. This Chang'an Order is just a part-time job."

Then, Wei Ting knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, as the saying goes, if you are unlucky for three lives, the magistrate will be attached to Guo; You know. Now that the world has been at peace for a long time, many high-ranking officials’ children are domineering and committing crimes, and the Chang’an order dare not ask about it. It is necessary for an important official like Qin Guogong to sit in charge.”

He paused for a while, then continued: "What's more, as we all know, Qin Guogong's minister of the Ministry of Rites is just a hands-off shopkeeper, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites at all. With the part-time job of Chang'an Ling, I can find something for him to do .Secret Qin Guogong part-time Chang'an order, one can reward meritorious service, and the other can stabilize the law and order of Chang'an city, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

His Majesty Li Er said: "I think it's okay. Let Qin Guogong take part-time job as Chang'an Ling for three years first. When he and Queen Shande get married, he will be named King Qin again. Wei Aiqing, I think your suggestion is very good. I just don't know about other lovers." Agree or disagree."

Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "I have no objection!"

"What about you, Wei Aiqing?"

"Uh...the minister has no objection!"

With Wei Zheng taking the lead, the others agreed without any psychological burden.

Yu Chigong wanted to disagree, but for a while, he really couldn't think of any valid reason.He thought to himself, brother Guo, the old brother is incompetent and can't help you prevent disaster!The gift of the suburban welcome is probably a hidden murderous intention, so you should ask for more blessings!

Chapter 1688

"The emperor welcomes you?"

"Exactly! Old General Yuchi urged me to hurry up and tell you about this matter in advance. The old man said that there must be something strange about this matter. You should be careful and prepare in advance."

Guo Ye was confident, and smiled slightly: "Go back and tell the old brother, don't worry! Zhang Liang didn't play any tricks at the suburban welcome ceremony. If he really provokes me, Mr. Guo, I will let him steal it. A chicken can eat a handful of rice instead!"

……

……

Guo Ye was supposed to arrive at Chang'an City in three days, but the Tianzijiao Ying, etiquette should not be taken lightly, he was forced to rest at Baqiao Station for two days, and did not arrive at Changle Slope until the fifth day.

At this time, on the slope of Changle, clear water was splashed on the street, and the road was padded with loess.

His Majesty Li Er is the head, and the civil and military officials are on the left and right.The one hundred thousand imperial forest troops behind them were divided into five teams, with flags and banners unfurled, and trumpet belts fluttering.

Such a big battle was only for one person, that is Qin Guogong Guo Ye Guo Ziyi.

The sound of silk and bamboo, several bursts of elegant music have been played.

Guo Ye knelt down on the ground and said: "This time I was ordered to go to Silla as an envoy. Firstly, it was to enshrine Queen Jindeman of Silla's virtue. Second, it was to mediate the disputes between the three kingdoms. Thanks to Your Majesty Longwei, I am lucky that I did not disgrace my life." .Queen Seondeok has accepted His Majesty's canonization, and the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla have vowed never to attack Tianmeng!"

His Majesty Li Er said solemnly: "The three kingdoms have been attacking and killing each other for hundreds of years. As a result, the lives of the people have been devastated, the people have been displaced, and the suffering is unspeakable. I am the master of the world, and I think about it every time. I feel the same, and I can't sleep at night..."

Tianzijiao welcomes this kind of thing, it sounds very beautiful, but in fact, it is really tiring to be there.His Majesty Li Er finished his long speech, and Guo Ye felt drowsy after listening to it!

Until the end, I heard His Majesty Li Er said: "...You should make new achievements, how can I begrudge the king's reward?"

Guo Ye bowed down again to express his thanks, and His Majesty Li Er ordered him to stand up flat.The next procedure should be for His Majesty Li Er to help Guo Ye get on the horse as a show of honor.
