Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

In fact, it's very simple, because Li Daozong decided to leave and bought the potential stock of His Majesty Li Er.When Li Shimin hadn't made his fortune, he would chase after others and call out his cousin one after another, caring and tiresome.Later, after Li Yuan and his son rebelled in Taiyuan, he even followed in the footsteps of his cousin Li Shimin, and fought in the north and south.

Such an outstanding and capable son of the royal family, and so loyal to him, even if His Majesty Li Er forgot who, he couldn't forget his good cousin Li Daozong.

Therefore, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, compared to those members of the royal family who are mediocre in Li's aptitude, who only know romance, walking dogs and fighting cocks, and only enjoy the cake, is definitely a different kind of existence.

……

It turned out that he was the real behind-the-scenes person in Changlefang!

Guo Ye was shocked in his heart, no wonder Su Dingfang was so secretive.

If it were any other emperor, if Li Daozong was an outlier in the royal family, he would want to weaken Li Daozong's power and influence immediately, and even stab this kid for three thousand miles, and give him a glass of poisoned wine on the way. Hang up, lest this kid rebel against his own dragon chair.

However, His Majesty Li Er not only did not do this, but instead gave Li Daozong a hundred times of trust and support.

Just for these, it not only reflects His Majesty Li Er's broad mind, but also reflects His Majesty Li Er's political wisdom.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er had never worried that Li Daozong would covet his own throne and the pinnacle of power in the Tang Dynasty, because Li Daozong was fundamentally different from some outstanding members of the royal family in history.

Guo Ye remembered an interesting story about Li Daozong recorded in history. In a certain year of Zhenguan, the envoy of Dashi Kingdom came to Chang'an to meet His Majesty Li Er.

But Li Daozong was lucky. Seeing the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom wearing a ruby ​​ring, he became greedy and blatantly blackmailed him.

And the people from the far west like the Great Food Kingdom have a different way of thinking from the Tang people. Seeing Li Daozong blatantly asking for bribes, they were filled with righteous indignation and reported Li Daozong to His Majesty Li Er.

As a result of the incident, His Majesty Li Er felt that he had lost his national integrity, and he severely reprimanded Li Daozong.

Li Daozong also provoked a burst of ridicule from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty because of his outrageous demands for bribes.

However, after His Majesty Li Er reprimanded Li Daozong, he secretly sent the eunuchs in the palace to send a lot of property to Li Daozong's Jiangxia Palace.

He also repeatedly mentioned to the empress's grandson Wugou that if everyone in the royal family looked like Daozong, I would really be able to sit back and relax.

He is really an extraordinary emperor, doing extraordinary things!

In fact, why did Li Shimin have such a contrast before and after? How could Guo Ye, a later generation, not understand?

His Majesty Li Er, this is the real emperor's technique.

The more Li Daozong so unscrupulously asked for bribes and regarded money as his life, the more he liked it and the more at ease he felt.

Why?

Just because of this greed for money, people who pluck their hair are not worthy of having the heart of an emperor, let alone the ambition to covet the dragon chair.What is a little money to His Majesty Li Er?

……

Guo Ye summed up Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, in one sentence. He is brave and good at fighting, has a high position and aloof status, but he is addicted to money and greedy.

Think about it, a prince who is almost as rich as a country would covet the ring of a foreign envoy, and for such a ring, he would openly blackmail him regardless of the status of the Tang Dynasty and the face of the royal family.

To what extent is this damn money-hungry!

For Jiangxia Wang Li Daozong, the backstage of Changlefang, Guo Ye suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and whispered softly: "Damn it, you are sick, you need to be cured!"

Guo Ye was thinking about things in a daze, while Su Dingfang was enjoying himself drinking alone.

Suddenly, an armored soldier ran up from downstairs and whispered something in Su Dingfang's ear.

Su Dingfang's face changed slightly, he put down the wine utensils in his hands, stood up and said to Guo Ye: "Brother, there is an urgent matter in the Weifu Yamen, I have to go back quickly. Brother, get out first~~"

Hearing this, Guo Ye also got up to see him off, nodded and said: "It's okay, brother Su is busy in advance, it will be long in the future, let's meet again at another day!"

Su Dingfang said hello, and hurriedly followed the soldier out of the private room.

As soon as he walked to the door of Yajianer, Su Dingfang suddenly stopped and looked back at Guo Ye, and asked solemnly:

"Brother, listen to brother, don't cause trouble in Changle Square. King Jiang Xia is not something you can provoke, remember!"

Guo Ye nodded, and replied, "Brother Su, don't worry, I can still carry my own weight. When did you ever see my little brother, I was so crazy that I went to make a loss-making business? Don't worry!"

Su Dingfang muttered: "That's good!"

In an instant, he turned around and stepped out of the private room, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps, apparently hurriedly downstairs.

Guo Ye walked slowly to the window of the private room, stood at the window and looked towards the street, watching Su Dingfang leave.

suddenly,

He found a very familiar figure walking past on the street. The man was a middle-aged man, wearing a white robe, thin and lonely, and his footsteps were extremely hurried...

"Huh? I don't have a blind eye, do I?"

Guo Ye couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and hastily returned out of the private room, intending to go downstairs and leave the restaurant to catch up with this very familiar figure from behind.

dong dong dong~~

As soon as he went downstairs and reached the door of Orchid's Restaurant, someone suddenly pulled his skirt from behind.

Guo Ye immediately turned his head to see who was pulling him, and saw a girl in white holding a guqin, looking at him with a shy face.

Guo Ye looked at the girl's shy expression and was at a loss. Grandma, if you don't come to the Orchid's restaurant, you will be able to fly to Yanfu, right?

However, although the girl in white has a fair temperament, her appearance is almost meaningless.

Just as Guo Ye wanted to ask the other party what was going on, the girl in white clothes said first, "Guo Yushi, my maidservant Xiao Taohong, my second son is drinking on the second floor of this restaurant, please go and meet him."

The girl in white is holding the piano, Xiao Taohong, the second son?

Given such a strange name for the maid, Guo Ye knew who the second son was.

Why is it him again?This is already the third time I want to invite myself.

Grandma, what kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd?

While thinking, Guo Ye suddenly remembered the familiar figure from the back just now, and if he didn't chase after him for a while, he really couldn't find him.

Then he said to the girl in white: "Little, little, little Taohong, right? Tell your second son, brother, I'm not free right now, so we'll meet again later!"

Immediately, he ran out of the door of Orchid's Restaurant and chased after that figure.

Hearing what Guo Ye said, Xiao Taohong couldn't help being a little annoyed, stomped her little feet, and spat bitterly: "My second young master invited me three times in a row, but actually refused three times in a row, hmph, this man is so arrogant!"

Suddenly, he turned around and returned to the upstairs of the restaurant, and went back to report to the second son of the Liang family who pretended to be a clean freak.

Chapter 427

Guo Ye refused the invitation of the Second Young Master Liang again, and ran out of the Orchid's Restaurant, chasing after the very familiar figure from behind.
