Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

……

"His Majesty is here!"

During Dong Shun's roll call, His Majesty Li Er walked into the hall with the two beauties on his arm, followed by Qi Wang Li You.

The beauty on the left is Queen Yin.As for the beauty on the right, it is Miss Guo who has no title but is extremely favored.

"Long live, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, thousand years to the empress, and thousand years, thousand years to a thousand years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" All the officials knelt down one after another.

"Free of courtesy, all lovers, please sit down!"

Although the words were polite, His Majesty Li Er's face was gloomy, as if he was not in high spirits.

When the people were seated again, he stood up after saying a few words, and said: "I'm tired, I want to go back and have a rest, all my loves, please help yourself."

While talking, he stood up and was about to leave!

How can Guo Ye allow His Majesty Li Er to leave like this?He exchanged glances with the "loyal ministers" around him and nodded.

"Your Majesty, please stay!" Guo Ye stretched out his hands and blocked His Majesty Li Er's way.

"King Qin? What's the matter with you?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, there is something I have been unable to understand, and I would like to ask you for advice."

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and said: "I am tired today, if you have anything to do, please write a note, and I will reply tomorrow."

"That can't be done!" Guo Ye said: "This matter can't be delayed until tomorrow, you'd better answer today."

His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath and seemed to be suppressing his anger.He said, "What the hell is it?"

Guo Ye said: "Actually, this question is not just me, Guo Ye, but other people also want to ask. Your appearance has changed a lot recently. It has become... not like your Majesty before. Can you answer this question?" Can't explain one or two?"

"How is that possible?" His Majesty Li Er touched his face subconsciously, and said nervously, "Queen, is there something wrong with my face?"

Concubine Yin glared at Guo Ye fiercely, and said, "King Qin, don't make trouble for no reason! Your Majesty's appearance has changed, how can I, the person next to my pillow, not know?"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "You are the pillow person? Not necessarily. How did I hear that for the past six months, the pillow person of His Majesty is this little lady Guo Yulan."

Guo Yulan said: "I can also testify that His Majesty's appearance has not changed at all."

Guo Ye said: "You testify? I can't even believe you. What's the point of your testimony?"

Then, Guo Ye said loudly to the officials: "Everyone, take a closer look and see if His Majesty's appearance is far from before. His complexion is darker than before, his nose is not as straight as before, and his lips seem to be thinner than before. , the most important thing is that the eyes are very different from before..."

"Yes, yes, King Qin's words are right!"

"Your Majesty seems to have changed his face."

"What's the matter?"

According to feudal etiquette, a courtier should never face the emperor directly.

Why do people call the emperor "Your Majesty"? It means that you are too honorable, and I dare not talk to you face to face, but let the servants on the steps of your palace pass it down from generation to generation.

Even the conversation has to go through another person, and it would be even more impolite to make eye-to-eye contact.This kind of behavior is shameless in a small way, but in a big way it can be regarded as a crime.

Therefore, although everyone has been to court, under normal circumstances, no one dares to stare at the emperor carefully.Most people just have a general impression of the emperor's appearance.Those who really had the opportunity to see His Majesty Li Er's appearance clearly were only a few important officials.

Now that Guo Ye said this, and after more than 100 "loyal officials and righteous men" echoed him, and under the mentality of "suspecting neighbors and stealing axes", most of them felt that the emperor's appearance was indeed a problem.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "King Qin, I know that you are dissatisfied with making King Qi the crown prince. But you can't slander me because of this! How could there be any problem with my appearance? No, it’s hard…”

Guo Ye answered, "That's right, I just suspect that you are not Your Majesty!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

As soon as Guo Ye's voice fell, the audience was in an uproar!

Chapter 2137

"What's going on? Is His Majesty pretending to be someone else? Is it real or not?"

"That's hard to say. Although this matter is unlikely, but this accusation is too serious. If you say it wrong, it is the crime of copying the family and exterminating the family. King Qin is not sure, how dare he say this?"

"Is this majesty a fake? Where is the real majesty? Was he imprisoned by them? Or was he killed by them?"

"Who knows? All in all, I think tonight, our Tang court will usher in a big change! In front of you, His Majesty and King Qin, I am afraid that only one person will be able to leave this hall alive! Good luck, don't stand in line easily!"

"Reverse! Reverse! Guo Ye, you are rebellious!" Empress Yin screamed: "How could your majesty be pretended by someone else? You are talking nonsense! It's nonsense! It's a fake public benefit! It's inhumane! It's insane! It's devoid of conscience..."

She seemed to be mad with anger, and used countless derogatory idioms, regardless of whether they were appropriate or not, on Guo Ye...

His Majesty Li Er patted Empress Yin on the shoulder, motioned her to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Guo Ye, do you know the consequences of what you just said?"

Guo Ye said firmly: "Of course I know. If you are really Your Majesty, I have committed the crime of treason, and it is possible to steal my family and destroy my family. But if you are really someone else pretending, then I am our Tang Qing The great hero of God's protection!"

Li Erbi turned his head to Queen Yin and said: "Queen, do you think my appearance is different from what I thought before?"

"Absolutely not."

"What about the prince?"

Li You said respectfully: "My father is my father, and I am definitely not someone who pretended to be a fake. My son can testify."

"Gao Yang, you are my daughter, you should know what I look like, right?"

Princess Gao Yang also said: "Father's appearance has not changed at all, King Qin is definitely making trouble for no reason."

……

Then, His Majesty Li Er asked his brother-in-law Xue Wanche, as well as Zhang Liang, the spy chief, and Wei Ting, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

His Majesty Li Er came before Guo Ye again, and said: "Guo Ye, my wife, children, brother-in-law and close ministers can all testify that I am me. What do you have to say now?"

Before Guo Ye could speak, Qin Qiong suddenly stood up and said, "But someone from Qin can testify that you are definitely not Your Majesty!"

"You..." His Majesty Li Er seemed very surprised by Qin Qiong's rebellion. He said, "You...you took refuge in Guo Ye and wanted to take the opportunity to rebel?"

Qin Qiong said proudly: "If you say this, no one in the world will believe it! I, Qin Qiong, will rebel. What a joke! It's a big joke!"

"Hmph, Duke Zhou is afraid of rumor days, and Wang Mang has not usurped his humility! Although you had a good reputation before, who knows what you think in your heart? What if you are a traitorous and loyal person?"

Li Jing said: "People in the world can't trust Hu Guogong, but they should trust me, right? I also don't think you are His Majesty!"

"You..." His Majesty Li Er curled his lips and said, "Your reputation is not as good as Hu Guogong!"
