Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Marshal Jiang, what are you talking about? Zheng Xiliang and I are ministers in the same palace, why did you kill him? You don't want to spout blood!"

"Huh, you have tried to assassinate Mr. Zheng many times. Who knows which one in Goguryeo? It means that the old man has always been magnanimous and didn't care about you. I didn't expect that you succeeded this time."

Monk Falin smiled slightly and said, "Master Jiang, you guessed it wrong. It's true that Zheng Xiliang and I didn't fight each other before, and we had fights a few times. But so what? Now is the critical moment of our Goguryeo's life and death, isn't it? Is the poor monk so ignorant?"

He paused for a moment, then continued: "Besides, with Mr. Zheng's ability, I can't keep up with ten. Even if I really wanted to hurt him, I did it. Could it be possible to hurt even a single hair of his old man? I don't have that confidence."

"Then who do you think killed him?"

"Guo Ye!"

"Who?"

"Da Tang Qin Guoye Guo Ye Guo Ziyi!"

As soon as his words fell, the audience fell silent!

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.To say that the most feared person in Goguryeo is not Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, nor Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, but Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin, who is known as the God of War!

Li Shimin swept the world, and Li Jing had a brilliant record, but they were all fought against others, and the Goguryeo people did not feel the pain.

Guo Ye was different. In Pyongyang City, 20 broke through [-], and in Seoul, [-] broke [-]. Later, in Jincheng, with a few thousand savages, he defeated the hundreds of thousands of coalition forces of Goguryeo and Baekje.

To make a simple analogy, the 40 to [-] people on my side are really not enough for people to squeeze their teeth!

This time the emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not take this person with him when he was conquering the east. Everyone was secretly happy, thinking that God had blessed Goguryeo.Unexpectedly, he actually appeared in Khitan!

After a long time, Jiang Yishi said, "Is this really true?"

"Why did I lie to you? When Guo Ye arrived in Khitan, with a few words, he convinced them to help Datang and wipe out our Goguryeo. In desperation, Mr. Zheng had no choice but to take risks and assassinate the nobles of various ministries to prevent Khitan from sending troops. "

"and then?"

"Then Guo Ye asked Zheng Xiliang to fight on the top of Muye Mountain. After a great battle, Zheng Xiliang was defeated and died. The old monk had no choice but to flee back to Goguryeo."

"Nonsense!" Jiang Yishi said angrily: "Guo Ye is known as the god of war, which means he uses soldiers like a god. As for his own martial arts, there is nothing extraordinary about him. Mr. Zheng's swordsmanship is profound, how can he fight?" But him?"

"Only the two of them were present on Muye Mountain. If Guo Ye didn't say anything, how would I know? If you don't believe me, it will take two days. The Khitan army is about to arrive. Do you think they are helping us or helping Datang?"

"This……"

"Also, I said Jiang, you'd better be polite to the old monk. You can sit where you are today, thanks to Zheng Xiliang's strong recommendation. His death... Hehe, to say something inappropriate , whether the lord can trust you again depends on the poor monk's words."

Jiang Yishi's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly let go of Monk Falin's hand.

He bowed and said: "Just now I heard the news of Master Zheng's passing away. I was in a hurry and offended the master. I hope your lord has a lot, and I will forgive you."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Monk Falin said: "As long as you serve the poor monk well, if you offend me, I don't have to pursue it."

"Serve? But I don't know how to serve?" Jiang Yishi suppressed his anger, and said to his heart that you are almost the same, great monk. I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies, do I really want to make a bed for you?

Monk Falin stretched out his hand, shook it slightly and said, "It's not easy, let's discount it!"

Chapter 1925 Chain Count (1)

"Discount...discount? What do you mean?"

"I said, do you really don't understand or are you pretending to understand? The discount is to give money, so why pretend to be confused!" Monk Falin said angrily.

"The master wants money? It's easy to say. I wonder if one hundred guan is enough?"

One hundred pennies doesn't sound like much, but it's actually quite a lot.Don't look at Guo Ye's business is 10,000+ guan, and hundreds of thousands of guan in and out, but he is a special case.How many people in the world can be as rich as an enemy?

In fact, the annual salary of a sixth-rank official in the Tang Dynasty is only this amount.As for the officials of Goguryeo, it was even more difficult.If there is no corruption and bribery, the annual salary of a fourth-rank official is no more than that.

Therefore, although the number given by Jiang Yishi is not a lot, it is definitely a good deal.

Unexpectedly, Monk Falin stared at him, and said disdainfully, "Jiang Yishi, are you sending beggars?"

"If the master thinks the money is too little, what about the two hundred pennies?"

"Two hundred guan? Two hundred guan? Two hundred guan?" The monk repeated it three times in a row, his dissatisfaction was palpable.

Jiang Yishi gritted his teeth, and said: "Four hundred guan! I am willing to offer four hundred guan to the national teacher, and I don't ask you to speak well of Jiang in front of the king, but if you see Jiang's negligence in governing the army I hope the national teacher will help a certain family to cover it up."

These words were polite, but everyone could understand the implied meaning.I, Jiang Yishi, will stop you with four hundred guan.I don't ask you to say good things about me, as long as you don't talk nonsense in front of the king.

Monk Falin narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Jiang, you're asking me to take money and pervert the law for you. Turn a blind eye?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yishi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.How did you talk, and you turned into a corrupt person?

He didn't want to make extravagant problems, he forced himself to suppress the grief and indignation in his heart, nodded and said: "That's right, I hope the master will hold you high."

"It's easy to say. It's better for the poor monk to talk, but the money you gave is too little. Forget it, let me just say it. If you want you to be safe and sound, you must at least give this amount to the poor monk!"

While talking, Monk Falin stretched out a finger.

"National teacher, do you want a thousand guan? This is a bit too much, can you be a master, and then reduce it."

Monk Falin's face changed suddenly, and he said: "Jiang Yishi, I think you have been the governor of land and water for a few days, and you don't know how much you weigh. Let me ask you, do you still know what is going on in Goguryeo?" Is the surname Yuan or Jiang?"

"Master was joking, of course the current ruler of Goguryeo is Yuan."

"Knowing that the lord's surname is Yuan, how dare you treat my teacher so contemptuously? How much trust does the lord have in me! You want to send me away for a thousand coins? You should keep the money for yourself to buy a coffin!"

"The national teacher calm down, the national teacher calm down! How about this, I will arrange a tent for you to rest first. I will send someone to send ten thousand coins over later."

"Ten thousand coins?"

"what."

"But what the poor monk wants is one hundred thousand guan!"

"What?"

"One hundred thousand coins, or ten thousand taels of gold, you should hear it clearly now."

"Ten... one hundred thousand guan, I really can't get this out. You are a master, let's reduce it a little."

"That poor monk doesn't care, if you hand over the [-] coins to the poor monk, I will turn a blind eye to you. You can't get the [-] coins, heh heh... weigh it yourself."

"Master, Master..." Jiang Yishi said with a bitter expression on his face, "I'm not trying to shirk, one hundred thousand guan is really beyond my reach."

Monk Falin said: "I don't have so much nonsense with you, just a hundred thousand guan, give it or not, you can tell me."

"I...I..." Jiang Yishi wanted to compromise, but he couldn't afford that much money.But don't give it, he really doesn't have that much courage.The old man scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, blushing.

At this moment, a crisp voice said: "If you don't give it, what can you do? Monk, others are afraid of you, but the young master is not afraid of you."
