Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Could it be her? ? ?

In an instant, Guo Ye understood that there was a reasonable explanation for what Gao Shilian said just now, which was a bit out of order.

Seeing that Guo Ye was in a daze, Gao Shilian pushed him lightly, and said, "Guo boy, don't think about it. Speaking of which, the old man really sweated for you just now, don't you know? You almost messed up the sky just now." Great disaster..."

Obviously, Gao Shilian's change of topic was very successful this time, Guo Ye was like a big fish biting the bait, cast his eyes on Gao Shilian, and asked curiously: "Master Gao, do you mean the imperial plaque just now?" matter?"

Gao Shilian nodded noncommittally, tugged at his chin goatee, and said in a deep voice, "How can an imperial bestowal be easily destroyed? If you really dare to smash the imperial bestowal plaque in full view, hehe, just wait How can the supervisory censors of Yushitai fabricate crimes!"

Unexpectedly, after Guo Ye heard it, he immediately disapproved and said with a light smile, "Master Gao, do you really think I'm such a reckless person? If I don't make such a fuss, would you be willing to come out?"

"what?"

Gao Shilian's eyes widened, and he grabbed his goatee ruthlessly, almost snapping off his own beard, and cried out, "You, you boy have already discovered the arrival of this old man?"

Guo Ye groaned in his heart, nonsense, nearly a hundred people are all dressed up as government soldiers, but you are the only old man who is dressed in Confucian clothes, it's hard not to be conspicuous.

Glancing again at the two obnoxious followers next to old man Gao, they even put on the unique white feather helmets of the Imperial Forest Army in a very coquettish manner, and they stood out from the crowd among so many soldiers.

Guo Ye is funny, unless brother Guo is blind, how can you not see where your third son is from?

But when the words came to Guo Ye's mouth, he changed to another way of saying something, and he said to Gao Shilian with his treacherous eyes flashing:

"Master Gao, do you think I can't find you if you hide? It's useless. An outstanding old man like you is like a firefly in the dark no matter where you hide. The bright stars are bright and dazzling. , your melancholy eyes, groaning goatee, rich and noble demeanor, and proud standing posture all deeply fascinated me. No matter where you hide in the ends of the world, I can find you. At that time, you There is always such a light in the crowd..."

"Ouch~!!"

Hearing Guo Ye's words, Gao Shilian's coquettish follower felt goose bumps all over his body and almost fell to the ground.

Shivering with nausea, they all shouted at Gao Shilian: "My lord, let's wait for you outside the living room first."

After all, without waiting for Gao Shilian to agree or disagree, they both cast a contemptuous look at Guo Ye, who was so slick and sycophant, and walked out of the living room one after another, taking the door of the living room out and closing it.

Old man Gao was not much better than those two subordinates. He had heard a lot of flattery these years, but it was the first time he had heard such naked flattery from Mr. Guo.

Then he yelled and cursed lightly: "Stop it, do you want to make this old man sick to death?"

After drinking and cursing, he continued to grab the goatee and asked intriguingly: "So, the old man was tricked by your kid and tricked out by you?"

Guo Ye was proud of himself, but naturally he would not admit it on his face, he smiled and cupped his hands and said: "How dare you, how dare you!"

But he didn't want to get entangled with Gao Shilian on this topic, so as not to arouse the resentment of this veteran royal relative.

So he changed the subject like Gao Shilian, and said, "Master Gao, didn't you say you have something to tell your subordinates?"

"Oh~oh~~"

Sure enough, Gao Shilian patted his forehead lightly twice, and said: "Being interrupted by you, I almost forgot the business. That's right, I will leave Ruzhou tomorrow morning and return to Chang'an, so I must talk to you before I leave. Let me explain a few words. It is a fate for you and me to be in Ruzhou, lest you go to Chang'an in the future and cause trouble."

Hearing what Gao Shilian said so seriously, Guo Ye didn't bother to ask Gao Shilian how he would return to Chang'an, because although the weather is changing now, the ice and snow in the Yellow River have not melted completely, and it will take at least seven or eight days to cross the river by boat. time.

Then, he stood up and leaned slightly, as if listening attentively.

Gao Shilian looked at him, and said in a serious tone: "You are so audacious today that you dare to make random comments on the Supreme Emperor, the old man, and the current Holy Majesty. If you comment on the Supreme Emperor's words today, you still want to smash the Supreme Emperor's imperial gift. The story of the plaque spread to Chang'an, and to the ears of the Supreme Emperor, hum, boy, you can ask for blessings."

Guo Ye pursed his lips, and wanted to ask Gao Shilian, the Supreme Emperor, who was imprisoned in the palace by His Majesty Li Er. A phoenix with shedding hair is not as good as a chicken. Why can he still kill me?

Besides, while we belittled the unlucky Emperor Li Yuan, didn't we also praise His Majesty Li Er highly?

Which emperor, which emperor, which Ninth Five-Year Lord, doesn't like to dictate the universe, but likes to have a Five Fingers mountain on his head?

However, Gao Shilian seemed to have seen through Guo Ye's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are thinking too simply. You have to remember that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, and he dare not say that his loyal followers are all over the court, but at least there are still many Most of them are obedient to the orders of his elders. Moreover, the current emperor is a filial person, and he wants people to know that even though he is the emperor, he is also a filial person. If your words are edited by someone with a heart, send them to In front of the Holy Majesty, I want to tell you that you have ulterior motives to alienate the relationship between His Majesty's father and son, hehe, tell me, who can protect you?"

"I am grass!!"

Guo Ye blurted out another mantra, and suddenly felt a little scared. Could it be that his flattery of "stepping on Li Yuan hard and praising His Majesty Li Er" was a bit too much?

According to what Gao Shilian said, it was a bit like flattering the horse's legs.

Grandma, Guo Ye sorted out the clues, and sure enough, he was patronizing and wanted to pass his words to the ears of His Majesty Li Er through the mouth of someone with a heart, to show his loyalty.

However, he completely overlooked that His Majesty Li Er is a person who cares about face and likes to make a fuss about filial piety. He wishes the world would know that he is a filial son.

If face and reputation are compared, Guo Ye firmly believes that His Majesty Li Er will definitely abandon his little loyalty.

Damn, what a miscalculation!

Guo Ye is now filled with nothing but fear and regret.

Seeing Guo Ye like this, Gao Shilian seemed very happy and had a sense of accomplishment, and the frequency of pulling his goatee became faster and faster.

Finally, he laughed and said: "Don't worry, Guo boy. Didn't the old man stop your recklessness? This trip to Ruzhou, haha, not only did you do it beautifully, but you also made a lot of contributions. Boy, come back to Chang'an, the old man decided I will not treat you badly!"

Guo Ye immediately rolled his eyes, and spat in his heart, "Damn it, Gao Shilian is a typical slap in the face and gave me a sweet date!"

But this sweet jujube, Guo Ye chewed it like a sugarcane.

He weighed it up, and when he arrived in Chang'an, if Gao Shilian was cited as his backer, then he would really have nothing to be afraid of entering the Imperial College.

After all, as Gao Shilian said, this time in Ruzhou City, the ink corruption case was cracked and Dai Mingde was captured. My brother contributed a lot, didn't he?

In this way, this trip to Ruzhou is still a lot of money, and it is worthwhile.

Immediately, Guo Ye also had the idea of ​​going to Chang'an earlier, and said: "Master Gao, since you are going back to Chang'an tomorrow, why don't I go back with you. I have a companion on the way, don't I?"

Unexpectedly, when Gao Shilian heard the words, he shook his head again and again and shouted: "No, no, I can't take you with me when I return to Chang'an tomorrow. You have to stay in Ruzhou for a few more days for the old man. This is an important thing that the old man entrusted to you." thing."

What?

How many more days do you want to stay in Ruzhou?

Guo Ye was dumbfounded immediately, something happened in Ruzhou, is it necessary for him to stay in Ruzhou city?

Immediately, he couldn't help quitting in a hurry, and asked: "Master Gao, you old man is not being kind. The boy has done all the things you explained before, and I can still stay in Ruzhou for a while. No, I also want to go to Chang'an together."

This guy, Guo Ye immediately threw himself into a rogue.

Gao Shilian was also amused by Guo Ye's childishness, and said with a smile: "Boy Guo, I ask you, how comfortable is this supervisory censor? Did you expect Chang'an to enter the Guozijian and also serve as a supervisory censor? "

Supervising the censor, defeating all officials, Guo Ye did it naturally and comfortably.

If he entered the Guozijian and could still wear the tiger skin of the supervisory censor, Guo Ye would naturally be eager to see it.

At that time, let alone the second-generation brats of officials in the Imperial College, they are the teachers in the Imperial College. If they fail, they must be afraid of their tiger skin, right?

Then he nodded his head heavily and said, "Yes, why don't you want to?"

Gao Shilian snorted, pulled his goatee again, and said earnestly, "Since you want to, then you should honestly stay in Ruzhou City for another seven or eight days, and wait for the Yellow River ships to pass before going to Chang'an."
