Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

……

……

After the dynasty was over, Guo Ye fully felt what it means to be human and worldly.It was as if he was infected with the plague, and when the officials saw him, they all ran away from him.It seems that whenever you say a word to yourself, you will be infected, and the whole family will die.

Of course, he has made up his mind, and he doesn't care about the attitude of the officials, so he doesn't feel much depressed.

When he got home, he called ten wives and concubines together, talked about today's events, and said: "The plan can't keep up with the changes. It seems that we can't build a country overseas. Everyone pack up your own beloved things, and prepare to have a relationship with me." Let's go to Silla together."

Of course, Chai Xiuxiu was unwilling to avoid living in Silla, and said, "Is it really that serious? How many things have we experienced before? Haven't we all saved the day? This time there is no chance at all?"

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said: "Of course there is no chance. This time is different from the past. Someone framed me before. After finding out the truth, His Majesty is still on my side. But this time it is His Majesty who has murdered me. .”

"You mean today..."

"That's right. At that time, if I gave an incorrect answer, His Majesty would order the warriors in front of the palace to take me down. It can even be said that he asked that question on purpose, hoping that I would persevere."

"Then he is not afraid of causing turmoil in the court?"

Guo Ye sighed, and said, "Perhaps he thinks that if he can get rid of me, even the price of turmoil in the court is worth it."

"How could His Majesty treat you like this? How much credit have you made for Datang? How can you feel sorry for him?"

Guo Ye spread his hands and said, "I guess Fang Xuanling also wants to ask you this question. He has made a lot of contributions, isn't he driven home to eat old rice? Alas, His Majesty's temperament has changed a lot now, and he can no longer use it. Common sense measures."

"Why did Your Majesty change so much?"

"How do I know this? Some people say that the witch Guo Yulan confused His Majesty's mind. I didn't believe it. But now, I have to believe it. Apart from this reason, there is really no other explanation."

Chai Xiuxiu said: "Then we have to avoid living in Silla?"

"You can go to Tianzhu if you want. I still have a piece of foundation there. Don't be unwilling. I made a lot of contributions to these two countries. It's not unreasonable for us to seek asylum."

"I don't! You are quite stubborn, what about me? Tianzhu has Rajashri, and Silla has..." Chai Xiuxiu glanced at Princess Shanhua with a guilty conscience, and said, "There is Kinderman. I will not accept them." angry!"

"How can you be angry? She is a generation of queens, so she doesn't have this measure? She will definitely treat you with courtesy. Besides, is there any other choice now? If you don't want to be angry, do you want to stay here and die?"

Chai Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, even if what you said is reasonable, what should the prince do? You can leave, but he can't. He will definitely not die well then."

"Prince..." Guo Ye frowned and said, "I can't protect myself now, how can I still take care of him? This is his own father wanting his life, what can I do?"

"It's not kind of you to say that, but have you ever been able to live up to the deep affection that Empress Changsun has for you? For the sake of her son, she gave you everything."

As if a thunderbolt rang in his ear, Chai Xiuxiu's words scared Guo Ye to death, and said, "You...how did you know?"

"Hmph, if you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing."

Guo Ye was almost impatient, and said: "This matter is really important, who did you listen to?"

Chai Xiuxiu sighed lightly, and said, "So you admit it? Actually, I don't know much either."

"It's not too much, but how did you know?"

"You can control your mouth when you are awake, but what about when you are dreaming? Although what you said is only a few words, it is enough for me to deduce the truth of the matter."

"So... only you know? It's okay, it's okay. By the way...you didn't tell anyone, did you?"

Chai Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? If it weren't for the emergency, I would have kept this matter to myself. I said husband, you are so bold, you dare to touch His Majesty's woman? It is really not wrong for people to deal with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not because of this that His Majesty wants to deal with me. He wants to make King Qi the crown prince, which is clearing the way for King Qi."

"Even so, you don't care about the prince's life or death? The promise to the eldest grandson Wugou doesn't count?"

Guo Ye felt depressed for a while, and said: "Of course I want to keep my word, but manpower is sometimes poor, isn't it impossible?"

"Hmph, it's good to say that manpower is sometimes poor. But there is another saying that a gentleman is a man of Heaven's Xingjian who strives for self-improvement. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to walk away without even trying?"

"I..." Guo Ye pondered: "What you said makes sense. Then let me think about it again. Is there any way to survive death..."

"Then you have to think about it carefully. Even if we want to go out, we have to build our own country independently. What's the matter with living under the fence?"

……

……

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Guo Ye hadn't thought about it for long, when suddenly someone came to report: "The general will ask to see Zhang Bi."

Hearing this, Guo Ye couldn't help wondering secretly, didn't this person surrender to the Chang'an government office?Why was it released so quickly?

Chapter 2132 Retreat or advance? (2)

The living room of King Qin's Mansion.

Guo Ye said: "Your case is closed so quickly? The efficiency of the Chang'an government office is quite high now. I was not so efficient when I was the Chang'an magistrate."

Zhang Bi shook his head, and said, "I didn't go to Chang'an Mansion to surrender, I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Also, you guessed wrong, my case didn't even go to trial, so why talk about closing it?"

"Then why did you come out?"

"This case is not big in the first place, and there are many good friends of mine in the criminal department. Therefore, I am basically free to come and go, as long as I show up during the court hearing."

"This..." Guo Ye was speechless for a while, and finally he could only say: "I didn't expect the management of the Ministry of Punishment to be so lax."

Zhang Bi proudly said, "You're wrong again. It's mainly due to Zhang's reputation of honoring justice and keeping promises that he can be treated like this. No matter how good the relationship with the jailer is for other people, it's useless."

"Well, it seems that I still underestimate Brother Zhang." Not wanting to continue entanglement on this topic, Guo Ye changed the subject and said, "Uh... I don't know why you came to see me today?"

"I'm here to deliver a message to you."

"Who?"

"Chi Gong, Duke of E State."

"Oh? What does my old brother want to say to me?"

Zhang Bi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about the thousand-year-old king of Qi. Although Duke E asked me to convey to you only one sentence, I have to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly to you."

"Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, please tell me, someone Guo will listen to you."

"As I said just now, I have a lot of friends in the lower levels, and I have a few good friends in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Two of them are jailers in the prison, one is Liu Zhengye and the other is Yuan Tianhua. They encountered a life-threatening incident. , want me to help the staff.”

"what's up?"

"Wei Ting, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, brought the two brothers to him and asked them to make Duke E fall ill and die after three days. This is a big deal, maybe they will be killed by Wei Ting."

Guo Ye felt a chill in his heart, and said, "How did you answer?"

"Of course I firmly opposed it. I told them that this was murdering the pillars of the country, and it was too destructive. I dare not say whether I will be silenced, but I will definitely go to the [-]th hell after death, and maybe it will affect the Children and grandchildren."
