Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After all, His Majesty Li Er walked around in circles in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Chapter 548 Arrangement

His Majesty Li Er walked slowly in the hall and circled around in circles, murmuring in his mouth for a dozen circles, but he didn't feel dizzy at all.He stopped for a while, and said to Kong Yingda: "Guo Ye's successor to the military commander is indeed insufficient in merit and qualifications. Moreover, he has only been transferred to Yuanwai Lang for a short time. If he is promoted to the doctor's position rashly, he will definitely attract controversy. It will cause resentment among other colleagues."

Kong Yingda nodded, and said approvingly: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and how old is this Guo Ye? The old minister has looked through this person's resume. He is in his early twenties, and he is not a serious scholar in the imperial examination. It is all due to luck He was able to be promoted quickly. Hehe, how does this convince those scholars who have studied hard for ten years?"

Although His Majesty Li Er's face did not change when he heard the words, he couldn't help but disagree with Kong Yingda's remarks, and even sneered.

What's wrong with not being a scholar?As long as he has the ability and ability to be used by me and benefit the country and society of the Tang Dynasty, I think he is a talent.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er can only think about it in his heart, but he can't say it in front of Kong Yingda, so as not to let the descendants of Kong Yingda have to tear their skins and talk to the emperor.

As the saying goes, if you are good at learning, you will be an official. In the eyes of these sour Confucians, the only way out for scholars is to enter the official career and become an official. Similarly, in their hearts, only scholars can truly contribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Blindly think that ten years of hard study is to work hard for an official career, then you will take it for granted that to be a good official, to be a capable official, you must be a scholar, you must be a scholar.

In the eyes of a Confucian like Kong Yingda, there is no place to rub the sand, nor can a sudden rise like Guo Ye be tolerated.

As he said, if Guo Ye, an ignorant person without a diploma, was promoted so easily, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the students who have studied hard for ten years?

His Majesty Li Er was disdainful in his heart, but he was really afraid of this troublesome prosperous Confucian, a descendant of a saint, so he could only agree in his mouth: "Yes, how about it, Xue Xiong had outstanding military achievements back then, and he has been serving as a soldier for so many years. , he will be promoted to the position of the right servant of the Ministry of War. As for the military commander, it will be temporarily vacant. Isn’t Guo Ye not good enough, is he not qualified enough? I will send him to Xichuan to go to Xichuan to serve as a guard for me. All the soldiers of Xichuan, to show the mighty kindness of the emperor. At the same time, let Guo Ye have a good experience, what does Kong Shangshu think?"

Kong Yingda pondered for a while, nodded and said: "It is certainly a good thing that His Majesty has taken into account the feelings of the students in the world and has not promoted Guo Ye rashly. However, the position of military commander is vacant, and Guo Ye, a soldier of the military division, is sent to the frontier fortress again." If you proclaim the favor of the emperor on behalf of the Holy One, then there will be no leader in the entire military department. At that time, there will be no one in charge in the military department, so it will be a mess?"

Speaking of this, Kong Yingda rolled his eyes and murmured, and suggested: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person. In the past, the old minister had a student named Leng and Tianlin, and now he is a county magistrate in the central Sichuan area. In the past few years, They did a great job over there and made quite a lot of political achievements, so why not..."

"Kong Shangshu, I'm hungry, let's discuss such trivial matters later!"

His Majesty Li Er didn't give any face this time, and directly issued the order to evict the guests. His face was a little displeased, as if he was dissatisfied and impatient with Kong Yingda's meddling in everything, and everything was contracted out to the household.

Seeing this, Kong Yingda naturally guessed a thing or two, thinking that he has done almost all the things that Miansheng has to do today, and he is not bad for his disciple Leng Tianlin.

And the emperor also said that he was hungry, no matter how big the matter is, the emperor shouted that he was hungry, if he continued to pester him, he would appear a little aggressive and bully the emperor.

Immediately, Kong Yingda's attitude softened, and he replied: "The old minister will follow His Majesty's orders, and the position of military sergeant is temporarily vacant. Your Majesty, please have a meal, and the old minister will retire first."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his hands and turned around and left slowly. When he reached the gate of the hall, he sighed again: "Oh, this military commander is vacant, and the military commander Wai Lang wants to appease the frontier fortress again. How can the fourth room of the military commander be adjusted?" Oh, it’s better not to have any troubles at that time.”

After the sound fell, people had already left the Manna Hall.

His Majesty Li Er watched Kong Yingda leave with his old arms and legs. Before he left, his words lingered in his ears, and he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Could it be that I have indulged these scholars too much recently? Why do both of them think that I like to be bullied, why are you threatening me in everything?"

As for the worry that Kong Yingda said, he was worried that there would be troubles in the four-fanged group of dragons without a leader, but he didn't think there was anything to worry about at all.

Seeing that Li Er Majesty's face was strange, he hummed strangely: "Let Guo Ye and the youngest son of Changsun's family stay in the compound of the military department and fool around, so I think there will be trouble. Hehe, dignified His Royal Highness, my dear son, actually fell into Guo Ye and his elder grandson's scheme to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so stupid, so stupid, this brain is really worrying!"

IQ is worrying, this is His Majesty Li Er's most pertinent evaluation of his eldest son Li Chengqian's recent performance.

Laughing at himself, sighing, resenting, after a while, he shouted outside the hall: "Is Dong Shun on duty today, or Qiu Dehei on duty?"

Soon, the sound of trotting on the ground was heard from outside, and the voice came along with the trend: "Your Majesty, Dong Shun is on duty today, what is your majesty's order?"

Eunuch Dong Shunshun rushed to His Majesty Li Er at the fastest speed, and stood with lowered eyebrows, waiting for the emperor's order.

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and said, "Pass down my will!"

"Here, servant girl, go and prepare pen and ink!"

Eunuch Shun pretended to leave, but was called back by His Majesty Li Er, and said: "There is no need to draft an imperial decree, just send it directly to the mansion of Wailang Guoye, a military officer."

When Eunuch Shun heard that it was Guo Ye, he thought happily. Could it be that Guo Ye is doing something good again?

His Majesty Li Er said: "You go to Guo Ye's mansion and say that. You mess around in the military compound and encourage my son to stand up to avoid lightning. I don't care about you. I will give you three days Get ready, get out of Chang'an City as soon as the time is up, and go to Xichuan to preach and appease the soldiers in the frontier fortress."

Shun Gonggong thought, what a beautiful thing I said, it turned out that this kid Guo Ye made His Majesty angry, and was dispatched to Chang'an for official business.

Then he responded: "Your Majesty, the servants have heard everything clearly. Do you have anything to add, Your Majesty?"

His Majesty Li Er shook his head, indicating no, and waved his hand to indicate that Eunuch Shun could go to pass the oral order.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Shun did not move his nest, and reminded him kindly: "Your Majesty, since Mr. Guo is serving as the general guard of Xichuan Xiaodu for the imperial court, should he inform the household department and prepare some gold, silver, silk and fine wine?" How about letting Master Guo take him to Xichuan together as a reward for the soldiers?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled, shook his head and said in denial: "No need!"

"hold head high?"

Eunuch Shun's face froze. His Majesty has always been generous to the people below. This time he promulgated Xi Chuan indifferently. This is not the emperor's style.

Seeing that Eunuch Shun did not leave, His Majesty Li Er pointed out his careful thoughts, and joked: "You have taken good care of this Mr. Guo. It is a customary rule at this time for Xuan Fu to reward all the soldiers. If you have done something wrong, you will be punished, so I know it in my heart. But I shouldn’t take the gold, silver, and silk as rewards. Besides, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is not full. You can tell me something——

All the materials needed for this Xuanfu were provided by Guo Ye alone.Well, I really punished him, who let him bully and plot against my child, and made Chengqian suffer from being dumb?As a father, I have to vent my anger for the child no matter what? "

"what?"

Eunuch Shun heard that Guo Ye was so bold that even His Highness the Crown Prince dared to bully and scheme, he was really tired of life.

But when he heard that His Majesty didn't blame him, he just punished him with some gold, silver, cloth and fine wine, and his words were friendly, which sounded like pampering.

Bullying the crown prince can still make the emperor not jealous, and he can easily expose it with a few chatter and laughs.

Tsk tsk, Eunuch Shun couldn't help but sigh in admiration, it seems that His Majesty really likes Mr. Guo from the bottom of his heart!

Chapter 549

Eunuch Shun behaved cautiously and submissively in front of the emperor, but as soon as he came out of the palace and came to Guo's mansion, he was full of interest and joy.

Because he knew Guo Ye Guo Xiaoge was an open-minded person, and he would never let him enter Baoshan and come back empty.

After entering the Guo Mansion and passing on the emperor's oral order, he didn't stay long, just followed the long-coveted Danqing in Guo Ye's house, and returned to the palace contentedly.

After Eunuch Shun left, Guo Ye was sitting on a chair in the living room, chewing over and over in his mind the imperial edict brought by Eunuch Shun, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

His Majesty Li Er actually saw through his little thoughts, he was ashamed and embarrassed.

However, I really admire the mind of His Majesty Li Er, and I am really worthy of the broad mind of the generation of Tianjiao Khan.

It was said that the younger ones were beaten and the older ones came. Old Li knew that he had dug a big hole, so he tricked Prince Chengqian into jumping down to cover the tank for him.But it was just a symbolic punishment without going into too much detail.

Since ancient times, emperors have been so stubborn, since ancient times, emperors have been so kind, and since ancient times, emperors have always protected their weaknesses, but His Majesty Li Er has nothing to do with it.With such an open mind, Guo Ye felt that His Majesty Li Er was a good emperor.

He punished himself by bringing his own gold, silver, cloth and fine wine, and accompanied him to Xichuan to reward all the soldiers. The smile on Guo Ye's face gradually grew stronger. It seemed that punishment was actually grace.

Ordinary people, you just want to prepare gold, silver, food and grass to reward the three armies, and you want to embrace the army to make a living for the soldiers and civilians, but you don't have this opportunity, you don't have the courage.

Because you dare to do this, the supervisory censors of the imperial court have appointed you to make a small report in front of the emperor to impeach you.

When the time comes, good things turn into bad things, with a click of the head, it's gone!
