Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Immediately, he took Ma Yuanju's arm again, and said excitedly: "Today, our old friends are reunited, and it's worth making a big confession. Let's go, go to my house, let's get drunk today."

However, no matter how Guo Ye pulled Ma Yuanju, Ma Yuanju didn't move. Instead, he asked Guo Ye with a serious expression in a low voice: "You are familiar with Guozijian. Is there any remote and quiet place here? I have something to tell you?"

Guo Ye looked at Ma Yuanju's mysterious appearance, looking like he was sneaking into someone's yard in the middle of the night to steal chickens, and he couldn't help but wondered: "What are you doing? Let's go, go to my house for a drink. Put everything else aside today."

Ma Yuanju obviously didn't want to explain more to Guo Ye here, so he urged: "After drinking, I have plenty of time. Let me ask you, is there any remote and secret place?"

Guo Ye looked at the serious look on the old stubborn donkey's face, and it seemed that he was not joking, so he nodded and said, "Yes, come with me!"

As he spoke, he raised his legs and walked forward a few steps, then turned a corner and walked towards the bamboo forest where he met Yu Shinan before.

In the entire Guozijian, that place was quiet and there were no idlers.

Chapter 450 Come for Your Majesty

Guo Ye led Ma Yuanju into the bamboo forest of Guozijian, but he didn't go to the area of ​​Xiaoqiao Liushuijing Bamboo House, but came to an inaccessible bush.

Because few people have been here, the bushes and weeds are overgrown here, but it can be regarded as a hidden place.

Guo Ye found an open space nearby, moved two large stones to serve as stone piers, and sat down with Ma Yuanju.

After sitting down, Guo Ye hurriedly urged: "What do you want to say, what are you talking about? Why do you have to pick such a remote place where no birds shit?"

Ma Yuanju was also quite surprised that there was such a large and dense bamboo forest in the Imperial College, which was a good place to play and relax.

Hearing Guo Ye's urging questions, he sorted out his thoughts, and said angrily, "I asked you to find a remote place, so naturally I want to tell you something that outsiders can't know. You found a good place!"

When Guo Ye first heard it, he suddenly regained his energy, and shouted in surprise: "What can't be known by outsiders?"

Immediately, he thought that Ma Yuanju was now the Zhongshu Sheren in charge of drafting edicts and edicts of the Zhongshu Province, and he had first-hand information and materials about the core power of the Tang Dynasty.

Could it be...

Immediately, the fire of gossip was burning in Guo Ye's heart, and he shouted: "Quickly tell me, is there any insider information to be revealed? Could it be that the Holy Majesty is about to promulgate some major decree? Come on, tell me... ..."

However, all he got was a scornful look from Ma Yuanju in response.

Then Ma Yuanju spit out in a business-like manner: "What a secret place Zhongshu Province is, the Holy Majesty's will, the imperial government's decree, how can I just talk nonsense, how can it be such a joke? Well, let's get down to business, you know me Why did you come to Guozijian this time?"

Guo Ye was just joking just now, how could he not understand Ma Yuanju's temperament?If you can say something, he will definitely say it; if you can’t say it, even if you put a knife on his neck or pry open his mouth with a shovel, he won’t say a word.

Otherwise, it would be called an old stubborn donkey in vain.

Hearing Ma Yuanju's question, Guo Ye was also amused, and joked: "I'm young and strong, and I don't know my ears. Of course I know why you came to the Imperial College. Didn't Chu Siye say that? Come to Guozijian to temporarily replace Dr. Sima and supervise the students in the calligraphy class."

Ma Yuanju nodded first, then shook his head, and said: "Yes, and no. It is true to come to the Imperial College to act as a temporary doctor at the order of His Majesty. However, it is not that His Majesty forced me to come, but I recommended myself to come to the Imperial College Temporarily acting as a doctor."

"What?"

Guo Ye stared at Ma Yuanju with wide-eyed eyes, as if saying that you are full and have nothing to do, right?The people of Zhongshushe, who are serious about the Eight Classics, don’t work hard, and they don’t go on the golden road, so they have to come to the Imperial College to waste time and toss about.

Ma Yuanju guessed Guo Ye's thoughts to some extent, raised his hand and pointed at Guo Ye with a smile, and said in a non-stop manner: "And I recommended myself to come to the Guozijian as a temporary doctor, precisely because you are in the Guozijian Middle. If you weren't in the Imperial College, I, Ma Zhou, really wouldn't want to do this."

"What's the mess?"

Guo Ye became more bewildered the more he listened, and he shook his head and asked, "What's going on? You've confused me!"

Ma Yuanju laughed, and said mockingly: "There are also times when you are confused? Aren't you a ghost?"

"Cut, don't come here. What you said, even a decent person can be confused by you." Guo Ye countered a little, and urged, "What is the situation? Are you coming to the Imperial College to act as a doctor, professor? The matter of the calligraphy class is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface?"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye seemed to have a clue, and asked, "Or is there another secret?"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Zhou showed a gratified smile on his face, and praised: "That's right, his head is still as clever as before, just like in Longxi. It seems that when he came to Chang'an, a colorful world, he spent a whole day with calligraphy classes. The eating, drinking, and merry-go-round of this group of dandies has not corroded you thoroughly, and has not rusted your head so that you can't turn the shaft."

One day, after listening to Ma Zhou's words of praise and derogation, Guo Ye immediately rolled his eyes and said to himself, your brain is rusted and you can't turn the shaft.What did Lao Ma say? Su Dingfang said the same thing that day.

Immediately, he yelled unhappily: "Ma Yuanju, you have ridiculed me as soon as we met, why don't you take someone so dishonest? Hurry up, don't play tricks in the cloud, we have something to talk about, will it work?"

Ma Yuanju saw that Guo Ye's ruffian had flared up again, so he stopped teasing him. After nodding slightly, he sat upright and said, "To be exact, I recommended myself to come to the Imperial College to relieve His Majesty's worries."

Share worries for His Majesty Li Er?

Guo Ye was puzzled, what kind of worry is this?He never believed that His Majesty Li Er was worried because of the absence of a Ph.D. in the Imperial College Calligraphy Class.

Obviously this worry is not the other worry!

Then, he asked: "Could it be that His Majesty's worry has a lot to do with our calligraphy class?"

"Of course!"

Ma Yuanju affirmed Guo Ye's suspicion with a nod, and continued: "You were once a little guard in Xichuan, do you know Tubo, our neighboring country to the Tang Dynasty?"

Tibet?Guo Ye naturally knew it, and knew it very clearly, and then nodded repeatedly and continued to listen to Ma Yuanju's next words.

Ma Yuanju asked again: "Then do you know who is the ruler of the Tubo Kingdom today? Oh, according to the name of the Tubo people, who should be Zanpu of the Tubo Kingdom?"

How could it be possible that Guo Ye didn't know, and replied carelessly: "Isn't it Songtsan Gampo?"

"That's right. It seems that your days in Xichuan have not been wasted. It is Songtsen Gampo." Ma Yuanju said, "It is said that this person took over his father's Zanpu position at a young age, and he is a shrewd A capable, farsighted, talented and promising king. Soon after he succeeded to the throne, he unified the various forces in Tubo, and after years of hard work, Tubo already has a solid foundation for a strong country. Known as the "Mingjun" rarely seen in Tubo in a hundred years."

Listening to Ma Yuanju's generous evaluation of Songtsen Gampo, Guo Ye also strongly agrees, yes, Songtsan Gampo is indeed a great talent and strategy, a wise king who is rare in Tubo Kingdom for a hundred years.

However, he also secretly added that this young Tubo king is also an ambitious man who is rarely seen in a hundred years. property.

However, Guo Ye felt that Ma Yuanju seemed to be a bit off topic. No matter how awesome and sparkling the king of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo, had something to do with Ma Yuanju's appointment as a doctor in the Imperial Academy?He is even more irrelevant to Guo Ye.

Immediately, he interrupted and reminded: "Ahem... Well, old horse, didn't you say that you came to the Imperial College to relieve His Majesty's worries? Let's talk about His Majesty's worries first, okay?"

"Don't interrupt, you bastard!"

Ma Yuanju scolded Guo Ye, and continued: "Isn't that what I'm talking about? Since Songtsan Gampo became the king of Tubo, he has always wanted to make an alliance with Tang Dynasty and come to Chang'an to pay respects to our emperor, but because Tubo Many problems in the country, he has been unable to fulfill his wish. No, half a month later, the envoy he sent will arrive in Chang'an to meet with His Majesty Tang Khan. On behalf of Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo , sign a covenant of covenant between the two countries with my Tang Dynasty, unite with each other, and cultivate eternal good together!"

hold head high?

Guo Ye subconsciously exclaimed: "Tibetan sent envoys to our Datang to form an alliance?"

Guo Ye always felt that Tubo Kingdom's behavior was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what went wrong for a while.

Anyway, I just feel awkward.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the business again, and said anxiously: "I said Ma Yuanju, you are too long-winded, right? Why are you talking and digressing? The Tubo Kingdom sent envoys to my Datang, come with you Does Guozijian have anything to do with a penny? I can’t even compete with Guo Ye and our calligraphy class, right?”

"Interrupted again!!!"

Ma Yuanju scolded rather resentfully: "Why can't you get rid of your impatience? Ding You has been at home for many years, how come you haven't seen you calm down at all? Haven't I finished talking?"

"Well, don't talk about it, you are so rambling, even if you talk about it until dawn, you won't be able to get to the point." Guo Ye is also very talkative and unforgiving, and he said, "Whatever you say is irrelevant. If money has nothing to do with it. Not to mention the Tubo envoy’s visit to Tang, the Tubo king Songtsan Gampo came to Chang’an. It has nothing to do with me or the calligraphy class, does it? Hurry up and get to the point~”
