Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"If Duke E is not killed, how will they explain to Wei Ting?"

"They have asked me this question too. My idea is to ask the Duke of E. After listening to the Duke of E, let me give you a sentence."

"What?"

Zhang Bi's eyes lit up, and said: "Your Majesty must have ordered Wei Ting to do this. Your Majesty is crazy, it's against him!"

"Is this true?"

"I would like to guarantee my life! If King Qin doesn't believe it, he can order someone to guard me. If one day it proves that what I said is false, you can take my life. Zhang will never complain."

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Your life is not worth that much. You can't afford such a big thing."

Zhang Bi's face was flushed, and he said, "It seems that Mr. Zhang is busy. If that's the case, let's leave!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

"Slow!" Guo Ye hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Brother Zhang, go slowly, and listen to me. This is a big matter, and your reputation alone will make me believe it. It's really difficult for others. Unless... "

"how?"

"You take me into the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and let me talk to my brother face to face!"

"That's impossible!" Zhang Bi shook his head again and again, and said, "King Qin is a thousand years old, I don't know if you look down on me too much or too much, I don't have that ability."

"Didn't you say that Duke E asked you to pass on a message? They can take you in, but they can't take me? I'll dress up a little, who knows that I am Qin Wang Guoye?"

Zhang Bi smiled wryly, and said, "Well, what I said just now was a bit bragging. In fact, the words of Duke E were conveyed by two jailers, and I have never met Duke E himself."

Guo Ye frowned, and said: "This is going to be difficult...Brother Zhang, I can only wrong you now, please stay in my residence for two days."

"That's what should be in the title. I will obey King Qin's order!"

……

……

In fact, Guo Ye believed Zhang Bi's words [-]% to [-]%.

Now time is on the side of His Majesty Li Er and King Qi. Since they have confessed, there is no need for them to make such a conspiracy to lure themselves into rebellion.

The reason why Zhang Bi was locked up was not to guarantee his life, but because he was afraid that he would leak the matter if he was not tight-lipped.

Just now forcing him to arrange a meeting with Yu Chigong was nothing more than a three-shot.It's better if he can take himself there, even if he can't take it, it's nothing.

However, there is no need to point out Zhang Bi's thoughts.

……

……

Guo Ye had just ordered Kong Kong'er and Jing Jing'er to settle Zhang Bi down, when another guest came, who was the former Minister's right servant, Fang Xuanling.

"Hey, the state affairs are like this, I wonder what King Qin's plan is?"

Guo Ye said helplessly: "I can still have King Qi as the prince? I can only go far away."

Fang Xuanling said: "King Qin made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty, but ended up like this in the end, can you be willing?"

"What if you are not willing?" Guo Ye said: "You still want to remonstrate? It turns out that His Majesty has never shown up, and everyone may have the courage to do this with you. Now that His Majesty is a normal director, who would dare to do such a thing?" thing?"

Fang Xuanling said: "That's not necessarily the case. King Qin Qiansui, there is one thing you may have misunderstood. The reason why everyone wanted to make a military remonstrance before was not because they were afraid of ruining the state affairs, nor because they were afraid that the crown prince would be lost."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty doesn't care. I still have a few prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many important ministers and good generals. No matter how corrupt it is, how can it be corrupted? It's not everyone's business if the prince changes. They are all descendants of His Majesty. How big is the difference between King Jin and King Qi?"

"That's different. King Qi is unscrupulous and has a vicious mind..."

"What kind of crime is private morality? Today, the emperor still kills brothers and sisters."

"Then you mean..."

Fang Xuanling said: "Everyone is loyal to His Majesty, Guo Yulan's origin is strange, everyone is afraid that His Majesty will be harmed by this witch!"

He paused and continued: "The current situation is very obvious. First establish the Queen Yin, then abolish the King Jin, and change the King Qi to be the crown prince. Everything is within our expectations. Should you say the next step?" Did Guo Yulan assassinate His Majesty?"

Guo Ye said: "Your analysis is somewhat reasonable, but it is still useless! When the time comes, His Majesty will ascend the heights, how many people do you think will betray you? In fact, let alone ascending the heights, even if you ask them to discuss matters now, I am afraid it will be a big problem." Most people would hesitate."

Fang Xuanling said: "As for this matter, I have a solution."

"What way?"

"This... let me keep it a secret. What Fang can't solve now is actually the aftermath of this matter. Everyone thought that as long as His Majesty and Guo Yulan were separated, he would recover his sanity, but now it seems that is not the case .”

Guo Ye said: "Exactly. Everyone can see that His Majesty's sanity is very normal now. It seems that Guo Yulan did not rely on any weird means, but relied on her own three-inch tongue to really convince His Majesty. King Qi is the crown prince."

"This is where the problem lies. How will everyone end up after the remonstrance? Everyone's purpose is not for their own glory and wealth, but to save His Majesty. Most people will not agree to appoint Prince Li Zhi as the new emperor and make His Majesty the Supreme Emperor."

He paused, then continued: "But if you don't abolish Your Majesty, he will take revenge. Are you going to kill everyone? King Qin Qiansui, as long as this problem is solved, I will be sure to persuade those who signed the book of loyal ministers and righteous men." People agree with military remonstrance."

Guo Ye said in embarrassment: "It's very difficult to cast a mouse. Mr. Guo is not a god, what can he do..."

Having said that, his heart suddenly moved, and he said: "Yes! I really have a way!"

"any solution?"

Guo Ye said excitedly: "Twenty thousand miles away from my Tang Dynasty, there is a continent called America. The area of ​​America is three times that of my Tang Dynasty, and the arable land is more than ten times. The land is fertile, rich in minerals, and the water and grass are fertile. It is truly the chosen country."

Fang Xuanling hesitated, "You mean..."

"After the military remonstrance, everyone can let His Majesty still be the emperor, but not in charge of real power, and use the prince as the prime minister for state affairs. Then everyone concentrates the power of the court to develop the Americas. After ten years, return to your majesty, and all the ministers and princes who participated in the military remonstrance will go The founding of America."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while, and said: "Let's not talk about whether the America thing is a fiction, even if it really did. After ten years, the crown prince's power is growing, so he is willing to go? You are thinking too fantastically."

Guo Ye rolled his eyes and said, "If everyone can't trust the crown prince, why not let someone Guo be the prime minister?"

"Haha! Your fox tail is finally showing!" Fang Xuanling sneered, "Everyone can't even trust the prince, so can they trust you? I'm afraid that Tang will change his surname to Guo in ten years' time?"

Guo Ye was not angry when he heard the words, and said: "Then how about letting the Prime Minister take this position?"

"Me? To be honest, this old man can't trust me either... The temptation of the throne can turn fathers and sons against each other, and brothers can kill each other. This temptation is really too great."

"Then what if I, the prince and you are allowed to govern together?"

"It's still inappropriate. The prince's advantage is too great. It is very likely that the prince will ascend the throne in the end, but you and I will die without a place to die!"

"Exclude the prince, and you and I will rule together?"
