Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Eunuch Qiu was condescending, unfolding the imperial decree, ignoring Guo Ye and others, but watching Eunuch Shun kneeling in front of his eyes, feeling extremely happy and comfortable.

After clearing his throat twice, he yelled, "Decree!"

After a short pause, he read slowly: "Little Protector of Xichuan, and Guo Ye, Captain of Xiaoqi, have performed great meritorious service, and captured the East Turkic bandit chieftain Jieli Khan in one fell swoop, which is a first achievement. There is such a brave young general in the Tang Dynasty, I am gratified. I am deeply saddened to hear that Guo Ye’s father, Guo Shuncheng, who was born in Longxi, died of illness. The small governor of Xichuan, Guo Ye, is allowed to retain the honorary title of martial arts. Ding You will be filial for his father for three years. As for the successor candidates of Xiao Duhu, Guo Ye recommended candidates to be submitted to the Ministry of Officials for selection."

Hearing this, Guo Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With His Majesty Li Er's golden words, and Eunuch Shun's activities for him after returning to Chang'an, it seems that Kang Bao's chance of succeeding Xichuan's little governor should be [-]% up.

But is it just for the sake of the emperor's imperial decree?Just use the four words "I am glad to hear" about the matter of capturing Jieli Khan?Such a great contribution is so nothing?I'm stupid, is it fucking black?

Just when Guo Ye was complaining, Eunuch Chou suddenly raised his voice when announcing the imperial decree, and said in a somewhat stern tone:

"The Great Tang established the country for dozens of years, and has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. I am a person who abides by filial piety. Thousands of people in my Tang Dynasty are famous for their filial piety. But I heard that Guo Ye was on the day of his father's death. To take concubines is really a complete mess, a really unfilial person. Ordinary people, I can tolerate it, but Guo Ye is an official ordered by the court. If he commits such a thing that violates filial piety, where is the shame of etiquette? Although the crime is inappropriate But it is impossible to escape the condemnation of morality. After the proposal of the senior ministers in the court, I decided to judge Guo Ye to balance his merits and demerits, neither to pursue his concubine during his filial piety, nor to reward him for his great achievements in capturing Jieli Khan. I hope Guo Ye can do it for himself. Remember, remember!"

What?

I grass!

Guo Ye heard the imperial decree proclaimed by Eunuch Qiu, although he was still sincere and fearful on the surface, but his heart became edgy.

Grandma, I really complied with the saying "good things don't go out and evil things travel thousands of miles". It only took a few days for Ding You to keep his filial piety and accept Kang Zhiru as his concubine, so it spread to the palace and to His Majesty Li Er. Got it?

Brother, I am self-defiled to seek perfection, just to avoid that unlucky and restless prince of your family, you can't take the credit of your buddy because of this matter, right?

Injustice or not!

Guo Ye lowered his head and looked at the ground, complaining in his heart, what bastard is it that spread the story of Lao Tzu to the ears of His Majesty Li Er so quickly, is it lacking in virtue?

Also, His Majesty Li Er judged him to balance his merits and demerits. It seems that he has listened to the opinion of a certain veteran. Which veteran minister in the court is so careless, wouldn't he propose to publicize his merits and demerits?

With a good word, I was stunned to gently obliterate Lao Tzu's great achievements in carefully preparing, risking his way into the tiger's den, and capturing Jieli Khan.

Grandma, don't let me know who you are, or I will have to skin you alive.

At this time, Guo Ye was full of hatred and resentment, and at the same time he was remorseful. This time, the strategy of self-defilement for perfection was considered a success, but it also killed one thousand enemies and self-damaged eight hundred. credit.

Depressed, who the hell can I ask for reasoning?

Helpless, who made the emperor's head above the sky and his feet on the ground these days, he has the final say on everything, so what else can I argue?After all, the pigtails caught people straight.

Guo Ye didn't bother to argue, so he put his hands on the ground again unwillingly, lowered his head and said respectfully: "The Holy One taught me very well, and my minister Guo Ye took the order to accept the crime..."

After saying that, you have to stand up and receive the order with both hands.

Unexpectedly, this ugly and black Eunuch Chou suddenly exclaimed: "Lord Guo, wait a minute, His Majesty asked the old slave to bring the oral order."

I rely on, what else?

No problem, just keep lying on the ground and listening.

Eunuch Chou said: "Your Majesty's dictation, Guo Ye disregarded filial piety, dared to risk the world's disgrace, and took concubines during the filial piety period. It is really wrong. I don't read much, and I have never been taught by sages. Forgive me for the time being. Order Guo Yeding You to observe the filial piety for three years, and then leave immediately to report to the Chang'an Guozijian. Don't procrastinate for no reason, otherwise you will be punished as the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Baji~~

After listening to His Majesty Li Er's dictation, Guo Ye almost fell to his knees and fell into the mud, with a look of surprise on his face, he was stunned in disbelief.

But Eunuch Chou didn't stop, he turned his head and said to Eunuch Shun who was prostrate in front of him, "Dong Shun, the old ancestor asked our family to bring you a message, if you think Longxi is better than our Chang'an, then you will stay here for the rest of your life." In Longxi, never go back to the palace."

Baji~~

Eunuch Shun's legs trembled at what Eunuch Chou said, and he really fell into the mud. He didn't know whether he was so angry by Chou or frightened by his ancestors.

The old ancestor that Eunuch Qiu talked about naturally refers to the old ancestor of the [-] eunuchs in the palace, Mr. Ping Si, the regular attendant.

In the eyes of Eunuch Shun, Eunuch Chou and others, Nei Chang Shi Ping Si is full of lewd power and absolutely a terrifying existence.

Zhao Jiuchou and Cheng Erniu, one on the left and the other on the right, helped Eunuch Shun up with his weak legs. When Eunuch Shun stood up, he cast a very vicious look at Qiu Dehei who was complacent, but did not talk to him. Come hard.

Instead, he murmured with lingering fear: "Following the order of our ancestors, Dong Shun will return to Chang'an Palace in a few days."

It can be seen that Nei Chang Shi Ping Si has a deterrent power in the hearts of Dong Shun and others.

Guo Ye also patted the dust on his knees, and after receiving the imperial decree from the smug Eunuch Qiu, he asked, "Eunuch Qiu, may I ask your Majesty to let me report to the Imperial College after my filial piety expires? What are you going to do?"

Eunuch Chou laughed dryly, and said darkly, "Hey, Mr. Guo, you are such a smart person, can't you understand what His Majesty means?"

Guo Ye took out a lump of gold ingots from his sleeve pocket, stuffed them into Qiu Dehei's hands, and asked in a low voice, "I hope Eunuch Qiu will clear up the confusion."

Qiu Dehe secretly weighed the gold ingot in his hand, it was full of weight, he thought to himself that the surname Guo really lived up to his reputation, and he was really generous in his actions.

Then I suddenly figured out why Dong Shun, a bastard, was procrastinating in Longxi. How dare this Guo Ye be a golden mountain?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little jealous, and glanced at Dong Shun bitterly.

Then he got back to business, answered Guo Ye’s question, and said, “As for your majesty’s request for Mr. Guo to report to the Imperial College. Hehe, Mr. Guo should know where the Imperial College is, right? Listen carefully, let’s figure out the meaning , I will give you nine words—"

"Read good books, be a good person, and do good deeds!"

Chapter 345

It was almost three o'clock at night, and the wedding banquets in the courtyard had long since dispersed, and tiredness gradually disturbed everyone in the hall.

After Eunuch Chou announced the decree and delivered the words, he was already extremely tired because of the busy travel day and night.

Immediately, Guo Ye asked Zhao Jiuchou to quickly lead Qiu Dehei Qiu Gonggong down to rest.

As for Mr. Shun, he was listless like a defeated rooster, sighed sickly at Guo Ye and shook his head, and left the lobby with Cheng Erniu.

Guan Jiujiu was the only one left in the hall to follow Guo Ye, looking at Guo Ye with a puzzled face, humming and chirping from time to time, looking worried in his eyes.

I don't know what Guo Ye thinks for the time being, so he can only stand aside silently, dumbfounded.

Read a good book?

Be a good person?

Do good deeds?

Guo Ye recalled the nine words given to him by Eunuch Chou after thinking about the holy will.

Then he thought about His Majesty Li Er's oral order, and when the three-year filial piety period expired, he set off for Chang'an and reported to the Imperial College as soon as possible.

It was not the first day for Guo Ye to come to Datang, so how could he not know where the Guozijian was.

Guozijian, also known as Taixue before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was the educational management institution and the highest institution of the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of the level of institutions of higher learning, it is completely comparable to today's Tsinghua University and Peking University.

However, Guozijian is definitely better than Tsinghua University and Peking University, because Guozijian not only manages the universities of the ten prefectures, counties and townships of the Tang Dynasty, but also functions as a management agency.
