Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Therefore, for this kind of thing, His Majesty Li Er has long been familiar with it, and is not very angry.On the contrary, Guo Ye's words and deeds gave him a long-lost feeling.

His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Duke Qin!"

"Chen is here!"

"When I was young, I read history books and found that most of Han Gaozu's heroes were killed. I often disapproved of what Gaozu did. After I ascended the throne, I realized that it is indeed not an easy task to preserve heroes. Many people rely on their merits Gao, arrogant, often violates the laws of the country. Han Xin, Peng Yue and others were punished, not necessarily without their own fault. Guo Aiqing, you are young and promising, you have made outstanding achievements, you should be more careful and restrained, and do not do things that are easy to regret. I can forgive you, but if you don’t know how to repent in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save you either!”

After hearing this, the officials all praised, dear son!Qin Guogong is definitely the son of His Majesty Li Er!Jun Qian's murder, if it is more serious, can be relied on for the crime of treason.The results of it?His Majesty Li Er was not angry, he just stated the facts and reasoned, and he did not even need to drink three glasses of fine wine, and the clouds all over the sky would have dispersed!

Wei Ting knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin committed a crime before, so that's all? There is an old saying that a prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the people, let alone Duke Qin? Your Majesty, please punish him according to the law!"

His Majesty Li Er gave Wei Ting a hard look, and said in his heart, punishment?How to punish?I have just welcomed Duke Qin, and I will punish Duke Qin immediately?Doesn't that make me slap myself in the face?But then again, as the emperor, I can't keep my face down and say that Duke Qin can stay out of the law, so how should I answer Wei Ting?

When His Majesty Li Er was in trouble, Guo Ye said again: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Qin Guogong, please speak!"

"If Your Majesty punished me for beating Zhou Gui, I would be willing to be punished. However, Your Majesty said that I was spoiled by favor, and I refused to accept it! I beat Zhou Gui in court, not because of myself, but because Zhou Gui was so angry that he separated from the Tian Family, so he beat him!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Separate the bones of the Tian family? Where do you start with this?"

"Your Majesty Qizuo, until now, I won't hide it from you! Actually... Actually... I already know where Pipa Girl is."

"Oh? You really know? So, Zhou Gui didn't lie? Then why didn't you tell the lonely king quickly, but deliberately concealed it and shirked it?"

Guo Ye grinned, with a bitter expression on his face, and said: "To tell you the truth, not only my ministers know about this, Zhou Gui knows about it, but all the ministers present know. The reason why I didn't tell you is really that Whether it is easy to say or not, His Majesty should not know about it."

Seeing that His Majesty Li Er's face was not looking good, Guo Ye didn't dare to show off, so he quickly added: "If you really want to know, let me tell you, you have to hold on..."

His Majesty Li Er heard this, his heart turned, and he said: "Could it be that the Pipa girl has been sold into a brothel?"

"That's not true. To be honest, Pipa girl's life is not bad recently."

"Where is she? Guo Ye, if you go around again, I... I..." His Majesty Li Er thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good way to punish Guo Ye.The punishment was light, and Guo Ye didn't feel any pain.His Majesty Li Er really couldn't bear the heavy punishment.

Guo Ye saw that His Majesty Li Er's emotions were almost brewing, so he didn't dare to tease His Majesty Li Er anymore, and said: "Pipa Girl is now in Prince Qi's Mansion!"

"What?"

"Pipa girl named Yan Feifei, has been brought into the mansion by the King of Qi, and she is...specially favored every day!"

Li You was in a hurry at that time, and said loudly: "Guo Ye, you... you are spitting blood! Father, this is completely fine, you have to trust your son!"

His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy as if water was about to drip, and he asked, "Is this really true? Guo Ye... You said that the Pipa girl is in the Prince Qi's mansion... Is there any real evidence?"

Guo Ye smiled wryly, "I don't have any real evidence!"

Now Li You understood the reason, and said: "There is no real evidence? Without real evidence, you just talk about it? Father, this is a completely false accusation, you have to make the decision for the child!"

Guo Yedao: "I really don't have any real evidence, but the whole court said so, there must be a reason for it. Even if the Pipa girl is not in the Qi Palace, she must have something to do with the Qi King."

His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and asked, "Does the whole court say that?"

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask on the spot."

"Okay! Zhongshu Ling, do you know about this?"

Wei Zheng didn't dare to offend either of them, he said: "I have heard such a rumor. However, folk rumors are always based on rumors, so you can't believe it."

"How about you, Duke Wei?"

"I believe that no matter whether there is that rumor or not, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, the king of Qi should not be punished." This is said, on the surface, to excuse Li You, the king of Qi, but in essence, he has admitted that he has heard of that rumor. Rumors.

With these two people at the head, when His Majesty Li Er asked who was the head, people would tell the truth.

The more Li You listened, the paler his face became, and he said to Zhang Liang, "Duke Xun, save me! Duke Xun, save me!"

Zhang Liang was also in a dilemma. Zhou Gui was stunned by Guo Ye. If he wanted to save King Qi, he would have to fight himself.But, in that case, will I get burned?Besides, just now I claimed that I didn't know anything about it, so how can I make up this lie?

At this moment, a voice sounded, saying: "Your Highness, don't panic, I'll save you!"

Li You looked back, it turned out that Zhou Gui had woken up leisurely!

Chapter 1690

Zhou Guiqiang cheered up and said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty...I have something to say! The pipa girl is not Yan Feifei, but...Yan Wenfang!"

"Yan Wenfang? Who is Yan Wenfang?"

"Have you ever heard, Your Majesty, that Duke Guo Ye of the State of Qin used to accept four beauties in the Oiran Competition in Shuikou City?"

"I've heard of it. Could it be that... Yan Wenfang is one of the four beauties?"

"Exactly. After many investigations by the minister, it was found that Yan Wenfang was the Pipa girl, and the Pipa girl was Yan Wenfang. In other words, the Duke of Qin had already taken the Pipa girl as his concubine. Today, it was entirely because of his guilty conscience that he deliberately beat the minister. Make Wei Chen speechless."

"Is this true?"

"We have portraits to prove it!" Zhou Gui opened the brocade box, and there were not only the documents of bad people, but also several portraits.He picked up a portrait and said, "Your Majesty, this is the portrait sent by the bad guy's headquarters."

Zhang Liang said softly: "We sent people to copy hundreds of portraits of Concubine Yin and sent them to various places."

His Majesty Li Er took a look at the portrait and said, "That's right, it looks like Concubine Yin's handwriting."

Zhou Gui took out several other portraits and said, "This is the portrait of Yan Wenfang drawn by our brothers from Shuikou City. Please look at it, Your Majesty. Is it the Pipa girl?"

His Majesty Li Er took it over and took a look. These paintings are far worse than those of Concubine Yin, but if you look carefully, they all have the charm of Concubine Yin. He said in a deep voice, "Zhou Gui, do you know the consequences of falsely accusing Duke Qin?"

"Falsely accusing Qin Guogong, a humble official below, is of course a crime of death."

His Majesty Li Er said to Guo Ye again: "Duke Qin, what do you have to say about Yan Wenfang?"

Guo Ye was rather disapproving, and said: "There are many similarities in the world. Director Zhou concluded that Guo's concubine is a pipa girl based on only one portrait. Isn't it too arbitrary?"

"The evidence below is not just a portrait. A few days later, it was brought by ordinary people in Shuikou City. They all saw the Pipa girl at the Oiran Competition. I believe that with the methods of the Ministry of Criminal Justice of the Tang Dynasty, we can naturally Determine whether the person they saw was a pipa girl."

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Zhou Gui! In order to deal with this official, you have really planned everything!"

"Don't dare to do it! I'm doing this to serve His Majesty and bad people. As for you... Hehe... Don't do anything wrong, don't be a ghost, your actions violated the law of the king, you can't blame me, Zhou Gui. Head! The two of us only have public enmity, not personal enmity."

"That's a good mouth, let me ask you, the Oiran Competition is almost half a year away, don't say eight hundred miles in a hurry, even if you climb slowly, you can climb back to Datang. Why is it until now, that is When His Majesty greeted him in person, he only rushed eight hundred li to report to His Majesty! Isn’t this a deliberate plan to deal with me, Guo Ye?”

Zhou Gui said: "Qin Guogong misunderstood. You also know that it is too arbitrary to determine that the pipa girl is Yan Wenfang based on a single portrait. In order not to wrong Qin Guogong, I, Zhou Gui, will of course investigate in detail. After the investigation, only eight hundred Riga is in a hurry, report to His Majesty."

Wei Ting said: "At this point, there is no need to pursue those details. The most urgent thing is to find out whether the Duke of Qin has taken the Pipa girl as his concubine! Qin Guogong, please invite the Pipa girl out, so that His Majesty will know at a glance."
