Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er shook his head lightly, and said: "You believe it, but I don't believe it! If it is said that killing brothers and brothers is a small moral flaw, what about killing fathers? This cannot be explained by small moral flaws." ?”

Guo Ye hurriedly said: "The death of the Supreme Emperor has nothing to do with His Majesty. It is completely... completely caused by the five noble families! This matter is clear to me, how could I suspect His Majesty?"

"You know it, you know it! But other people are not in charge of investigating the case, so how do they know the truth? They only know that the Supreme Emperor died violently! Under heavy siege, the person who can kill the Supreme Emperor is the most suspicious of me. In addition, I With a criminal record of murdering brothers and brothers, most people probably think that I have committed the crime of killing my father!"

Seriously speaking, Li Yuan's death was also one of the butterfly effects caused by Guo Ye's time travel.

In history, Li Yuan died of old age.From a certain point of view, it was Guo Ye who cheated His Majesty Li Er.His Majesty Li Er, who created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, could still be called a wise emperor through the ages if he only killed his brothers and brothers.

But with the addition of patricide, it's not necessarily the case.

Guo Ye said: "Even so, it can only be said that there is no conclusion on this matter... I feel that I am afraid that the matter may not be as serious as His Majesty thinks... In the final analysis, these are His Majesty's personal virtues. In terms of governing the country, His Majesty's The merits are remarkable."

"Governing the country? It turns out that I thought I managed the Tang Dynasty well, but how can I explain the case of Dade Temple? You can see the fall of the world by watching a leaf fall. If you don't manage a city of Chang'an well, how can I talk about the whole Datou Temple?" Tang was governed so that Haiyan and Heqing?"

Guo Ye thought to himself, in the real history, it is really not clear whether there is a Dade Temple case or not.

Maybe it's the butterfly effect of my time travel; maybe it's true, but those monks have been at large; maybe there was a case in the Zhenguan period, but it wasn't recorded in the history books, and even it was recorded in the history books, but I didn't see it...

But now is not the time to think about this, the key now is to unravel His Majesty Li Er.

This is really not a problem for Guo Ye. In terms of the skill of washing the ground, these days, if Guo Ye dares to admit that he is second, no one can recognize the number one.He said, "Your Majesty, you can consider this matter from another angle."

"Another angle? What angle?"

"From this point of view, you can only investigate the case of Dade Temple if you, Guo Ye, become the order of Chang'an because of your discerning eyes! If someone else becomes the emperor, I'm afraid this case will never come to light. It is. It is no exaggeration for you to be called the wise king through the ages!"

"Can you explain it that way?"

"That's natural. As the emperor, you can't say that you are not responsible for such a big case. However, it can't be said that you are not responsible for solving the case later! No one can be innocent without a sage? Even the most wise monarch , there will be times when mistakes are made..."

Guo Ye paused for a moment, and said very sincerely: "It is not terrible to make mistakes, the key is to correct them in time after making mistakes. And this is a necessary condition for becoming a famous emperor through the ages! This incident just shows that you are the real one. Eternal Mingjun!"

After saying these words, Guo Ye also felt a little nauseous!He thought to himself, Your Majesty Li Er, Your Majesty Li Er, I have used all the ground-cleaning skills I have acquired in forums in later generations!If you still don't let go, I can't help it!

Chapter 1747 His Majesty Li Er Has Been Blackened

His Majesty Li Er's reaction was beyond Guo Ye's expectation. He snapped a few cases and said, "Nonsense! Guo Ye, you have disappointed me so much!"

This is the second time Guo Ye heard this today, and he asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

"Hmph, I regard you as a pillar of the country, and I confide in my heart. But you regard yourself as a sycophant, sycophant! What kind of nonsense are you? According to what you say, the bigger the case, the bigger the case. Does it mean that I am more holy?"

His Majesty Li Er's voice became louder and louder, and said: "I have figured it out a long time ago. After so many things have happened, it is impossible for me to have the title of a famous emperor through the ages! I am a man of indomitable spirit, and I don't need you." Use fallacies to comfort me!"

How to answer this?Let's comfort His Majesty Li Er again, and he has to be regarded as a flattering villain.But don't comfort him, just follow his words... Isn't that more courting death?

Guo Ye had no choice but to kneel down on the ground again, and replied vaguely: "My humble minister...the humble minister's death penalty!"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "Get up!"

"Yes!"

His Majesty Li Er sighed softly, and continued: "Thinking back, in order to maintain the image of a Mingjun, I was falsely accepting advice, Wei Zheng's saliva was sprayed on my face, and I endured it. Thinking about it now, it really seems like yesterday... ...In these years, for the name of Mingjun, I really sacrificed a lot."

Guo Ye said cautiously: "Then what is your next plan?"

His Majesty Li Er glared at Guo Ye and said, "Don't think wildly, I'm not crazy. Even if I no longer struggle to maintain the image of a wise king, it doesn't mean that I want to be a senseless and stupid king. It's just that there are some things , I can do whatever I want, and I no longer have to worry about the evaluation of future generations."

Guo Ye just wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said, "It's because of this reason that you ruined your reputation to protect the humble minister?"

"I am willing to pay such a high price to protect you. There are four reasons. First, your handling of the Dade Temple case is mostly out of public interest. Second, it is indeed because I do not value reputation as much as before."

"What about the third?"

"Although I don't want to be the emperor of the ages anymore, there is still a title I want to fight for!"

"What name?"

"Heaven!"

Guo Ye asked suspiciously: "Aren't you the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty now?"

"This name is only recognized by the people of Tang Dynasty. As for other places... most of them are not convinced by mouth, or even by mouth. There is an old saying that the whole world is the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the king's minister. Said Although it is a good idea, it has never been realized. I, Li Shimin, am not talented, but I really want to give it a try!"

"You mean to conquer the whole world?"

"That's right, I want to sweep all the surrounding vassal states! What Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, which Fusang Tubo Xue Yantuo, and what Nanzhao Zhenla Tiele... and other countries have to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I want to let Under the sun, there is only one country, and that is Datang!"

His Majesty Li Er became more and more excited as he talked, and said: "With such achievements, which Mingjun can compare? Yao, Shunyu, or Emperor Qin, Hanwu? Can their territory be as vast as mine? Can their people be as numerous as mine?"

Although he disapproved of His Majesty Li Er's plan in his heart, Guo Ye still echoed: "I wish Your Majesty a lifetime of unification!"

His Majesty Li Er eased his tone, and said: "Of course, I know that it is not easy to do this. It needs the support of countless good ministers and generals. And you Qin Guogong Guo Ye is the best among them. I have taken a fancy to it." Your ability is only for the sake of protecting you, and you will not hesitate to tarnish your reputation."

Guo Ye said: "Thank you for your majesty's love, I will definitely do my best for your majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er was talking excitedly, and said, "Do you still want to know the fourth reason?"

"I hope His Majesty will clarify."

"The fourth reason is that I hate Wang Gui deeply, thank you for letting me out!"

"But I don't know how Wang Gui offended His Majesty?"

"It's a long story... Back then, shortly after I launched the Xuanwumen Coup, many people in the world did not accept me and rebelled one after another. One of them was Lujiang King Li Yuan. Li Yuan was defeated and killed, and his concubine Concubines, Yilu was sent to the palace. One of the concubines, Ji, is deeply favored by me."

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er's eyes became misty, as if caught in a good memory.

He paused for a moment, then continued: "That was a very weak and pitiful woman named Xin Qianrong. It was only later that I found out about her background. She was originally a concubine of a merchant, but later Lujiang King Li Yuan took a fancy to her beauty, Killing her husband and bringing her into the mansion is what I got."

"Uh... You have said so much, what does it have to do with Wang Gui?"

"Listen slowly. Since I dote on that Xin Qianrong, I always keep it with me. One day, I pointed at her and said to Wang Gui, 'The King of Lujiang killed his husband and took his wife. I killed him. It was a natural response." Human action!', but, guess how Wang Gui answered me?"

"I don't know."

"Wang Gui asked me, is what the king of Lujiang did right or wrong? Of course I said it was wrong. But Wang Gui smiled and said that in my heart, I should think that what the king of Lujiang did was right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done the same thing as King Lujiang.”

"and then?"

"At that time, in order to maintain the image of Ming Jun, I reluctantly sent that woman back to my relatives! I will never forget the look in Qianrong's eyes when she was sent away. Was it understanding? Complaint? Or pain? I can't tell."

"It's for this reason that you hate Wang Gui deeply?"

His Majesty Li Er's face sank, and said: "Exactly. Guo Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"

Guo Yeyi was filled with indignation, and said: "Wang Gui's move is really not a thing! Your Majesty, you hate it rightly, hate it well! This minister deeply agrees."
