Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just as Leng Tianlin was about to return to the Longxi County Government, there was also an undercurrent in the Guo Mansion, which could not stop.

Fan Zhi, the prince's servant, hurriedly drafted a letter, selected a healthy soldier from the attendants of the prince's mansion, and ordered him to leave Longxi County as soon as possible, and send the letter back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and hand it over to the prince. In the hands of His Highness.

As for the content of the letter, it can be guessed that it must be a report to Li Chengqian of Guo Ye's mourning rituals such as taking concubines and looking for beauties during Ding You's filial piety.

He is different from Eunuch Shun, a money-greed eunuch, as a servant of the prince's mansion, naturally everything is considered on the premise of His Highness the prince's interests.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Guo Ye and wanted to bring him into the mansion, but at such a critical moment, Guo Ye wanted to do such unfilial things as keeping his filial piety and accepting concubines.

If Guo Ye really became a member of the Prince's Mansion, once this matter got out, it would definitely affect the reputation of His Highness the Prince.

At that time, everyone in the world will think that His Royal Highness values ​​such unfilial people as Guo Ye and keeps company with them. What will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think?What do Shihlin students think?How can such a prince be the crown prince of the country, how can he be an example for the world?

In particular, today's saints place the most emphasis on filial piety, because of the tragic experience of Xuanwumen, they pay more attention to brotherly respect, father's kindness and son's filial piety.

in case……

If there is no such thing, Fan Zhi dare not imagine what kind of backlash His Highness the Crown Prince will suffer under this chain effect.

Moreover, he knew that the king of Wei, Li Tai, and the king of Shu, Li Ke, these little princes were hiding aside, watching his prince brother all the time.As long as the Prince's Hall made a wrong move, he believed that the two young princes would spare no effort to pour dirty water and throw dung balls on the Prince's brother's head.

The more Fan Zhi thought about it, the more frightened he became. He hurriedly dispatched his followers to Chang'an to report the news, and he searched for the figure of Eunuch Shun in the Guo Mansion.

He wanted to find Eunuch Shun as soon as possible, and then urged him to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. In addition to the feedback from Fetion, he had to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. Tell the truth about this stupid thing.

After going back and forth in the courtyard a few times, I finally found the figure of Eunuch Shun in a pavilion in a lotus pond.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, and Eunuch Shun, who was a little tired, was eating seasonal melons and fruits in the gazebo with the imperial doctor Cai Heng and chatting away.

The wind blew by the lotus pond, blowing up a pool of lake water, and the lotus leaves floating on the surface rustled with the wind, so uncomfortable.

Fan Zhi's face was stained with sweat because of running on the road, and the sweat drenched the skirt of his clothes. Seeing the two of them so leisurely and content, he couldn't help complaining in his heart, grandma's so leisurely.

Immediately, he ran up the promenade on the pond and connected to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, ran into the pavilion, and shouted to Eunuch Shun: "My Eunuch Shun, I think I found you. You two are hiding here to relax. It will make it easier to find the next official."

When Eunuch Shun saw Fan Zhi and Fan Sheren coming, he naturally enthusiastically invited him to sit down, blow the cool breeze and talk about the mountains with the two of them, and eat some melons and fruits to relieve the heat.

However, Fan Zhi didn't appreciate it, but shouted solemnly: "Hey, where is there such a leisurely and leisurely relationship with Eunuch Shun who indulges in the mountains and rivers? I am looking for you this time to discuss important matters."

As soon as he heard that there was an important matter to discuss, Cai Heng, the imperial physician next to Eunuch Shun, stood up and said that the kitchen was boiling soup and that he was going to be supervised. He called the chief inspector and left.

As an imperial physician in the palace, Cai Heng was very measured in his conduct, and he had to refrain from participating in certain occasions and scenes.

Seeing Cai Heng leave, Eunuch Shun stretched his waist and sat upright, and asked lazily and comfortably: "What is the matter of such a rush, Fan Sheren? Come, sit down, and admire the lotus colors in this pond, Blow it!"

Fan Zhi sat down carelessly, but sneered in his heart, you are so leisurely, no matter how beautiful the lotus color is, what are you doing?

Not caring about talking to Eunuch Shun, he sat upright and said: "Eunuch Shun, you have been in Longxi for so long, you have passed on what you should say, and done what you should do. Shouldn't it be time to go back to Chang'an?"

"what?"

Hearing what Fan Zhi said, Eunuch Shun snapped his fingers, counted the days, and said, "I didn't expect that we have been in Longxi for so many days, but Mr. Fan, since Chang'an, there is nothing to worry about." , our family is not in a hurry to go back to the palace to report to the empress, hehe, shall we stay for a few more days? In fact, Longxi is a very good place, with outstanding people, and Mr. Guo is also very hospitable!"

fart!

Fan Zhi felt a little contempt in his heart again, he still doesn't know what kind of idea Eunuch Shun is playing?

Outstanding people, Guo Ye is hospitable?It's nothing more than coveting the gold, silver and jewelry given by Guo Ye, a dog-like eunuch.

However, Fan Zhi did not expose Eunuch Shun's lies, but found an excuse to say: "Eunuch Shun, the task assigned by His Royal Highness to the subordinate officials has been completed, and it is likely that they are waiting for the subordinate officials to report back in Chang'an. Longxi is indeed an outstanding person, Master Guo is indeed hospitable, but we are visitors from Chang'an after all, so staying for a long time is not the same thing, is it?"

"This……"

Eunuch Shun dragged out his voice, seeming to have something to hide.

Fan Zhi saw that the dead eunuch's ass had grown roots, and he couldn't pull it out. He urged repeatedly: "Mr. Shun, why don't we start tomorrow? Now that you have completed your merits and virtues, return to the palace as soon as possible. I don’t hesitate to reward you, father-in-law.”

I thought that I would use the queen's reward to tempt Eunuch Shun, and the eunuch would agree, but Eunuch Shun sighed softly, shook his head and smiled wryly:

"Leaving tomorrow? Difficult, difficult!"

Fan Zhi was surprised, when the legs were on his feet, there was still a time when he couldn't move?

Eunuch Shun is an official in the palace, who dares to stop him from leaving?

Then he asked puzzledly: "Why? Could it be that Mr. Guo deliberately asked Nan Shun Eunuch to prevent him from leaving early?"

"Haha...Master Fan is serious!"

Eunuch Shun smiled wryly again, and said with some embarrassment: "Master Guo is so hospitable, how could he do such a difficult thing? It's just that Eunuch Guo agreed to Master Guo, and he can't leave Longxi for the time being!"

"What did Eunuch Shun promise him?"

"Uh……"

Eunuch Shun has always been shameless, but he was a little embarrassed when asked by Fan Zhi, he said hesitatingly: "Actually, it's nothing, but my eunuch promised Mr. Guo at noon. A thousand gold bridesmaids!"

"what?"

Fan Zhi jumped up suddenly, and hurriedly shouted: "Eunuch Shun, how can you agree to Mr. Guo's request? Or if you decline this matter, let's return to Chang'an as early as possible tomorrow."

Eunuch Shun heard Fan Zhi repeatedly urging him to leave, and said with some displeasure: "Even though I am an eunuch, why can't I officiate the wedding for Lord Guo? Besides, this is a good thing. You are so happy, why do you want to decline? Besides, Mr. Guo returned it to my father-in-law..."

miso miso ~~

A burst of hurried footsteps reached the ears of the two, interrupting Eunuch Shun's speech, and a deep voice sounded:

"Zhao Jiuchou has met Eunuch Shun. My lord has already prepared a generous gift and sent it to Eunuch Shun's room. He said that he thanked Eunuch Shun for his kindness and officiated the wedding for my lord!"

"what?"

"what?"

Two exclamations came from the mouths of Eunuch Shun and Fan Zhi respectively, one full of joy and excitement, and one full of shock and surprise.

After Eunuch Shun exclaimed, his face was full of joy, he didn't care about talking nonsense with Fan Zhi, he hurriedly got up and left the gazebo, and hurried back to his room.

He is very anxious now, and wants to go to the room to count Guo Ye's attack this time, to see what happened.

Zhao Jiuchou saw Eunuch Shun's insignificant appearance in a hurry, and when he brushed past him, the corners of his mouth raised in complacency.

After praising Guo Ye in his heart, he secretly thought about it. In this way, Mr. Guo restricted the departure time of Eunuch Shun and others, and dragged them into the pit by the way.

High, it is high!

When he looked up, he happened to see Fan Zhi who was so stunned that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and said loudly: "My lord has ordered, and I hope that lord Fan will reward you and attend the wedding banquet together!"
