Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After listening to Guo Ye's explanation, His Majesty Li Er gave a thumbs up for the first time, and praised: "It's definitely a clever plan. Guo Ye, ghost, ghost, you are a ghost! Don't tell me you are just like what Ma Zhou and I recommended before, Ignorant and incompetent, have art in mind?"

Guo Ye clasped his fists pretendingly and said humbly: "It's a trivial trick, it's not worth showing! Your Majesty is really absurd!"

At this time, His Majesty Li Er looked at Guo Ye with admiration and praise. How could he think that Guo Ye was just a crap stick?

Guo Ye glanced at the candles on the candlesticks in the hall, they were almost burnt out, and then he said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I will take my leave first, so I won't hinder Your Majesty's rest."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands again and made a long bow, then turned around and was about to leave.

Before he could reach the gate of the hall, he was suddenly stopped by His Majesty Li Er's soft shout.

His Majesty Li Er said in a tone of sudden realization: "Well, you are a thief, you almost escaped through a loophole. I almost forgot how to punish you for killing Duo Chiluo privately. Guo Ye, don't blame me. I crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloaded the grindstone and killed the donkey. If I don’t punish you, it’s really hard to appease the Tubo Songtsan Gampo. After all, what died was not an ordinary Tubo man, but a dignified Tubo prince.”

Damn it, Guo Ye's face turned ashen. He really couldn't hide from this catastrophe. He made a big circle just now, just to paralyze His Majesty Li Er's attention.

Well, this time I still put myself in my pocket.

Immediately, Guo Ye turned around and shouted with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you can't do this, just say that you don't think about my previous achievements, and you should think about the meritorious deeds of my minister, and solved the big trouble for you." What's the matter, isn't it? It's really not possible, and I don't want to be promoted to a noble, our merits and demerits are equal, will it work?"

Chapter 620 Punishment

"Bastard, you still want to be promoted to a noble?"

His Majesty Li Er gave Guo Ye a strange look, and said, "You beheaded the prince of a country. If I don't punish you for your behavior, how will you appease the bad breath in Songtsan Gampo's heart? Guo Ye, Guo Ye , whether it is getting close to Tubo, or provoking Tubo and other countries, it will take time. Just like the East Turks, how aggressive were they back then? Not long after I took the throne, Jieli Khan even led an army to approach Chang'an City for ten miles If I hadn’t been willing to rest and recuperate for several years, how could I have pacified the Eastern Turks in just a few months, and even imprisoned the Eastern Turks Jieli Khan in the city of Chang’an?”

Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er's face became a bit ruddy, and his eyes showed a bit of pride, and he said again in an emphatic tone: "Right now, the same is true for Tubo and other Western Regions. What I need is time, and there is enough time. time, do you understand?"

Guo Ye was extremely depressed, milk ball, seeing His Majesty Li Er's posture, this time the death penalty is inevitable, and it is estimated that the living crime is really inevitable.

In fact, he also subconsciously believed that His Majesty Li Er was right. He needed time to catch his breath, and the Tang Empire also needed to recuperate and recharge its treasury.

Immediately, he bit the bullet and looked up at His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Your Majesty, back then, I was just a small local official in Longxi. If you hadn't summoned me to the Chang'an Guozijian with an edict, how could I be here now?" This opportunity? The kindness of knowing you is unforgettable. I will not make you difficult, nor will I add trouble to you. You can do whatever you say, and I will definitely not frown if you want to kill or shave me."

"laugh……"

How can His Majesty Li Er fail to see that Guo Ye's words are insincere?Then he sneered, and said mockingly: "You are entangled in public opinion, how dare I kill you? The common people are all singing your heroic deeds everywhere, how can I kill you? Could it be that you want to let me slaughter loyal ministers and fool the king without reason? The name?"

After Guo Ye felt a little complacent, he put on a look of fear as much as possible on his face, and shouted again and again: "Your Majesty has broken my humble minister, minister..."

"Okay, don't say too much!"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly yawned, waved his hand to interrupt Guo Ye's pretending to be a grandson, and asked abruptly: "Guo Ye, you haven't been back to your hometown in central Sichuan for a long time, right? I remember that you still have your mother in your hometown in Longxi, Well, there are two beautiful wives, right?"

"what?"

Guo Ye didn't know why His Majesty Li Er asked this question, so he nodded subconsciously.

His Majesty Li Er uttered an oh, stood in the same place, walked around a little, and sighed: "My parents shouldn't be traveling far away. You should go home and have a look after you have been away for a long time."

What do you mean?

Guo Ye was completely confused by His Majesty Li Er. Didn't he just say that he would punish his buddies?Why did you suddenly let me go home to visit my mother and reunite with my lovely wife?

Out of nowhere, Guo Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet again and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you..."

"Come on!"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly shouted out of the hall, startled Guo Ye, and directly suppressed what he wanted to ask.

A palace official came in, and it was Father Dong Shunshun who was guarding the palace that night.

Eunuch Shun walked up to His Majesty Li Er and bowed his head to listen.

His Majesty Li Er ignored Guo Ye who was full of doubts, and said to Eunuch Shun in a deep voice: "Dong Shun, you can copy a small copy for me and send it to Fang Xuanling, the secretary of Zhongshu Province, so that he can draft the imperial edict tomorrow and send a copy. The Tubo envoy to Hongbinlou did not Lu De Nai."

"Your Majesty, please tell me, servants will remember."

"The decree is that Wailang, a member of the military division of the Ministry of War, and Guo Ye, the governor of Sandi Town Fusi, attacked Tubo with troops without the permission of the imperial court, and even beheaded Duo Chiluo, the prince of Tubo. The situation is serious and his behavior is bad. He has to be punished." .From now on, Guo Ye will be confiscated as the baron of Longxi County, dismissed from Guo Ye's military officer Wailang, the governor of the three places, and other officials, and assigned to his hometown in Longxi to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors.

"Slave remembers~"

Eunuch Shun glanced at Guo Ye with great regret, sighed in his heart, turned and left the hall.

After Guo Ye heard it, he froze on the spot like a bolt from the blue.Damn, His Majesty Li Er is too cruel, right?Not only took away his title, but also removed all his official positions, wouldn't that be the same as becoming a commoner?

Could it be that my hard work in the past few years has been wasted like a river of spring water?

Guo Ye stood dumbly like a dumb chicken, his face was full of bitterness, he thought that His Majesty Li Er was just saying something, and it would be good to have an explanation with the Tubo people.

Unexpectedly, he would push himself to the end and directly send him down to the [-]th floor of hell.

Grandma, is it too cruel and unfeeling?It really is the most ruthless emperor's family. Just now I was chatting and laughing with you just now, and when I was farting, I played a ruthless trick with you.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Guo Ye's dazed look, and asked, "Are you blaming me for being too cruel and unfeeling?"

Guo Ye hated in his heart when he heard the words, nonsense, do I have to praise you for your generosity, benevolence, and broad-mindedness?

With anger in his heart, his mouth was naturally a little more rigid, and he said in a low voice: "I dare not, oh no, we have been relegated to the common people now, how dare we be called ministers? Your Majesty clearly sees thousands of miles away, and the punishment is appropriate. The crowd also calmed the resentment of the Tubo people, and the grass people were willing to be punished. It was very late, and His Majesty had to go to bed, so the grass people would not stay longer. The grass people will pack up in a short time, and then pack up and go back to Longxi, and think about it behind closed doors. Be a law-abiding good fart!"

How can His Majesty Li Er not hear Guo Ye's sour words and full of resentment?Not only is it funny, but it's also good.

Then he waved his hand and said decisively: "It's very late, I'm going to rest too, you go out of the palace now!"

It's okay if you don't mention the order to chase away guests, but when you say it, Guo Ye's heart is even more furious, your grandma's legs, you don't even have the intention to keep them?Grass, so fucking heartless to the end.

However, he didn't dare to get angry in front of His Majesty Li Er, he bowed his hands and swallowed his anger, and said: "The grass people leave!"

After saying that, he walked out of the Palace of Manna with anger and resentment billowing in his stomach, and left the palace under the guidance of a young eunuch.

Seeing Guo Ye leave, His Majesty Li Er chuckled thoughtfully, shook his head and sighed: "You say he is dull? He has time to come up with endless tricks; you say he is smart? But he is always foolish from time to time. He has a petty temper, hey, what a child, when I was at his age, when Emperor Yangdi summoned me for a conversation in Luoyang, how cautious I was? Sigh..."

After a soft sigh, His Majesty Li Er suddenly rushed to the door and shouted: "Dong Shun, come in and pass a few words for me to Guo Ye's ignorant bastard!"

Dong Shun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the sound coming in, could it be that His Majesty's holy family to Guo Ye is still there?

After thinking about it, he had another thought, lowered his head and listened to His Majesty Li Er slowly say what he wanted to convey.

After some short words, Dong Shun couldn't help but feel elated for Guo Ye. Could it be that this is really a fool who is blessed with a fool?

Afterwards, Dong Shun came out of the Ganlu Hall again, chasing after Guo Ye in the direction where Guo Ye left the palace.

……

……

Guo Ye followed the little eunuch out of the Ganlu Palace, walked a long way, detoured some palace gardens, and gradually arrived at the gate of the palace.

Approaching the palace gate, Guo Ye, who was full of resentment and complaints, looked back with regret, looked at the forbidden garden of the palace, and said to himself with a disappointed tone in self-deprecating: "Grandma, maybe this is the last time I enter the palace, so please be careful." Take a look, in the future Haohe Xiuxiu, Zhiru and the others are bragging, at least we have also entered the palace to celebrate, haven't we?"
