Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

……

……

Chang'an Imperial Palace, in the Palace of Manna.

Empress Changsun urged His Majesty Li Er four times to let him rest earlier, but His Majesty Li Er didn't seem to hear it at all.

Ever since the palace people reported what happened in Chang'an City today, His Majesty Li Er was alone in a daze with a newspaper, sometimes frowning, sometimes with a gloomy face, and sometimes with wry smiles.

With such a strange situation, Empress Zhangsun was confused, so she didn't know what happened to her husband today.

After urging her for the last time, Empress Changsun still saw her husband standing quietly in the hall without moving a muscle, turning a deaf ear to her.

Unhappy, Empress Changsun had no choice but to go back to the bedroom to rest in a fit of anger, thinking about letting His Majesty Li Er sleep on the floor alone.

However, His Majesty Li Er is not in the mood to think about when to sleep tonight, where to sleep tonight, etc. His pimple brows gradually relaxed, he raised the newspaper in his hand, and sighed bitterly again: " Why didn't I expect that this kid would cause trouble once he returned to Chang'an, and would make such a big commotion? This is a plan to break my marriage by coercing public opinion, bastard!"

Immediately, he shouted to the palace people outside the palace gate: "Come here, pass on my order, summon Wailang, a member of the military department of the Ministry of War, and Guo Ye, the governor of the governor of the three places, come to the palace as soon as possible to see me!"

"According to the order!"

Chapter 618 Guo Ye Also Has a Serious Side

When the people in the palace came to announce the decree for Guo Ye to enter the palace, Guo Ye was already fully dressed, sitting firmly in the main hall of the Guo Mansion in Taipingfang, waiting for the decree.

He had expected that His Majesty Li Er would order to summon him into the palace after reading today's newspaper and hearing what happened in the city during the day.But he didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to be so impatient that he summoned him overnight.

Forget it, it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared, which saves the trouble of bathing and changing clothes. After receiving the decree, Guo Ye immediately set off and followed the eunuch who delivered the decree to leave the Guo Mansion and enter the palace.

After entering the palace, following the guidance of the palace people all the way, Guo Ye just learned that His Majesty Li Er still summoned him late at night in the Ganlu Palace.

The palace man opened the door of the hall, Guo Ye stepped over the threshold and entered the inside, he saw a man standing in the empty hall, like a mountain that would not fall down for thousands of years.

The man's resolute back was facing Guo Ye. Needless to say, the man in the bright yellow dragon robe was His Majesty Li Er.

The sound of the opening and closing of the palace door naturally alarmed His Majesty Li Er, but the other party didn't turn his head back, and continued to turn his back to Guo Ye as if he was thinking about him.

Guo Ye pursed his lips and thought to himself, His Majesty Li Er can really pretend!

However, as a courtier, you should not be presumptuous, so you can only clap your hands at the back of the other party who is indifferent to you and say loudly: "Minister, Wai Lang, a member of the Military Division of the Ministry of War, and Guo Ye, the governor of the Sandi Town Fusi, are here to comfort Xichuan for his return. Come to meet His Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The out-and-out formulaic honorifics, and repeated shouts of long live, still did not get His Majesty Li Er to turn around and look at him.

Just as Guo Ye continued to belittle His Majesty Li Er for being too pretentious, Li Shimin suddenly let out a cold snort, and turned his back to Guo Ye and shouted: "Guo Ye, are you guilty?"

Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "Here we come, it must be the old way, first come with a burst of coercion, to catch people first."It's the same as going to court to fight the twenty big boards first, and it has the same effect.

Fortunately, Guo Ye already had a countermeasure in his mind. He immediately raised his head and raised his chin, trying his best to let his heart be unscrupulous, and replied loudly like an iron bone: "Your Majesty, I will comfort Xichuan on your Majesty's behalf. Not only will the King of Shu and his party He was rescued from the predicament, and he followed His Majesty's orders to rush into Tubo, exaggerated the Tang Dynasty's national prestige, and vented his anger on His Majesty's behalf. I have exhausted all my energy and painstaking efforts to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty. I don't know this crime Where did it come from?"

"Hmph, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you actually dare to be so treacherous and cunning in front of me. No wonder you dare to make such a big commotion during the day regardless of the consequences."

His Majesty Li Er suddenly turned around, his face was full of scorn, squinting his eyes and staring at Guo Ye, a long-standing emperor's aura shot out, and he cursed in a deep voice: "Guo Ye, you think you are tying the public opinion, Don't I dare to accuse you and kill you?"

Guo Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he tried his best to remind himself that at this time, he must not be overwhelmed by His Majesty Li Er's aura, and he should show the integrity of knowing the strength of the wind and knowing the strength of a loyal minister.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye's body suddenly rose with unprecedented courage, his waist and spine became stronger, and he replied like a pine and cypress: "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing, what is the crime of the minister? Your Majesty asked the minister to comfort Xichuan The minister set off without saying a word; His Majesty asked the minister to enter Tubo privately with the risk of losing his head, and taught the Tubo people to express his anger on behalf of His Majesty. I tried every means to rescue the king of Shu and his party. I even sold all the belongings of the king of Shu's hometown, and secretly recruited heroes from the rivers and lakes to sneak into the Luoxie city of Tubo and rescued all the people of the king of Shu. Dare I ask your majesty, what is your crime? have?"

As he spoke, Guo Ye was moved by his generous statement, his eyes were red, and he choked with grievances: "Your Majesty is the king, and Guo Ye is the minister. If the king wants the minister to die, if Guo Ye wants to frown He's not a man. But your majesty, you should say a rule to convince the minister to die, right? As long as your majesty can tell the reason why the minister deserves to die and has to die, the minister will smash his head against the big pillar in the palace without saying a word. Lest His Majesty look at the subject and get upset."

"laugh……"

Hearing that Guo Ye was so excited that he even yelled swear words, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but sneered. He didn't know whether it was amused or sneered.

However, after Guo Ye finished speaking, he prayed secretly in his heart, God, my dear Majesty Li Er, please don't force me so hard that you really make me slam my head against the pillars in this temple, otherwise my brother will really die! I regretted it to death.

There is no way, His Majesty Li Er used the first move, he can only play the sad card, in exchange for His Majesty Li Er's compassion.

After sneering, His Majesty Li Er suddenly frowned and cursed: "You dare to swear in front of me, you really are an ignorant bastard, dog meat will not be on the table."

Call ~

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's scolding, Guo Ye suddenly felt a lot more at ease in his heart for some reason, and a familiar feeling rushed towards him.

At least, judging by the current atmosphere, His Majesty Li Er will not really let him bump his head to death in front of him.

Sometimes, showing off vulgarity and ignorance is also Guo Ye's trick to survive.

And it often works!

Immediately, he smirked and said with a shy face: "Isn't this the virtue of the minister all the time? It's not the first time Your Majesty has known you, is it? Your Majesty, in fact, I still want to complain to you and cry out for injustice. Some ministers rely on the old seniors and seniority, rely on the old to sell the old, insist on avenging their personal revenge, show off in front of His Majesty, and insist on ruling the ministers against the sworn enemy, it is too fucking bullying."

Suddenly, the villain Guo Ye filed a complaint first, and directly fired at Xiao Yu, taking the opportunity to disperse His Majesty Li Er's current prejudice against him.

But today's His Majesty Li Er seemed not to accept his tricks, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about other things with me, Guo Ye, I am very satisfied that you have done a few beautiful things for me. But you shouldn't You shouldn't, you shouldn't have killed the Tubo prince without permission. Are you trying to make Tubo completely break with us?"

Guo Ye lowered his head and didn't answer, but he replied in his heart, yes, I just wanted Songtsan Gampo to lose his temper in a fit of anger and start a war with our Tang Dynasty.It's a pity that this bastard was not fooled, and actually played the trick of courtship.

His Majesty Li Er said again: "Fortunately, Songtsan Gampo took care of the overall situation and did not lightly start the war between the two countries because of momentary resentment. On the contrary, he even sent an envoy to see me, hoping that I can marry the princess far away. To form a good relationship between the two countries. But!!!”

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er was furious, and he shouted sharply: "But today you wantonly slandered the marriage and marriage between the two countries in the newspaper, and wantonly smeared the Tubo Kingdom and Tubo Zamp Songtsen Gampo. Now In the whole city of Chang'an, there is a lot of opposition to the marriage with Tubo, and there are waves of curses. You bastard, all of this is from your handwriting. Are you really tired of life and life? How dare you say you What is the crime?"

No matter how His Majesty Li Er sees Guo Ye now, he looks like a shit-stirring stick, so angry in his heart.

Guo Ye still lowered his head and kept silent, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er sneered again, and teased in a bad tone: "Guo Ye, although you are vulgar and ignorant, you are full of cleverness. That's right, today you are in the city through the Chang'an Daily As soon as it was done, storytelling jokes were circulated everywhere, and there was another song that everyone sang and sang. It was because of the public opinion of Quan Chang'an that I dare not kill you, and I can't kill you. Because I killed you, I will blame you. Then it will lose the hearts of the people and become the one that everyone despises in the mouth of the people——

How is it different from Yang Guang, the Emperor Yang Guang? "

Guo Ye heard that his body was suddenly cold, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"Don't you dare? Is there anything else you dare not do?"

"Your loyalty to His Majesty, and your patriotism towards the Tang Dynasty, you can learn from the blue sky and the sun and the moon. I really don't want to die, it's because I still want to keep a useful body for your Majesty to drive for another 50 years, 60 years years, even 100 years!"

thump~

Guo Ye's words sounded like a gong, knocking hard on His Majesty Li Er's seemingly hard but not soft heart, Guo Ye's last words immediately lingered in his mind.

I don't want to die, it's because I still want to keep my useful body for your Majesty to drive for another 50, 60, or even 100 years.

Is this his voice?

A sentence that sounded like flattery, but also full of childlike rogue, inexplicably made His Majesty Li Er's heart a little sour.

Give me another 100 years to drive?I am not a god, how can I live so long?

His heart softened a little, the murderous intent in His Majesty Li Er's heart gradually receded, his anger disappeared, he glanced at Guo Ye, and hummed casually: "You are so clever, if you weren't afraid that I would cross the river and tear down the bridge, and kill the donkey, you wouldn't How can you rush to do something that coerces public opinion to deter me?"
