Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

It stands to reason that Liang Shidaogui is the governor of Shuzhou, a Jinshi with a serious background, and a dignified fourth-rank official in the imperial court. Both in terms of rank and background, he is better than Guo Ye, the temporary governor of the governor's office.

However, Guo Ye deliberately wanted to put on the air of a noble guest in Chang'an, the imperial capital, in order to achieve the purpose of overwhelming others with power.

It seems that this trick has been used to death by eunuchs like Shun Gonggong and Qiu Dehei.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Kui, the captain of Zhechong who had never seen a big scene beside Liang Shidao, shivered suddenly, and glanced at Liang Shidao weakly.

Liang Shidao hummed in his heart, it's just putting on airs for the people from Chang'an, good luck!

Immediately, he pretended to be stupid and replied in a daze: "What is the meaning of Guo Changshi's words? I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu came to Shuzhou and sent a notice to summon me. Didn't I just get up overnight and come here in a hurry? ? I don’t know where Mr. Guo is negligent and perfunctory? Liang really doesn’t know!”

Guo Ye thought in his heart, he really came prepared, the dead duck has a stubborn mouth, and he really wants to resist to the end.

Seeing Liang Shidao pretending to be a fool, Guo Ye almost understood. He probably knew Liang Shidao's attitude towards the king of Shu, who was in Shuzhou and opened the Governor's Mansion of Shuzhou.

The governor of a local state capital dared to confront a vassal blatantly, and gave him such a blow when he first came. If there was no one to back him up, Liang Shidao alone would be impossible.

After figuring out this joint, Guo Ye also guessed that Liang Shidao was at most a thug who was ordered to act, and his purpose was to prevent the king of Shu from becoming a vassal smoothly and control the Duwei's mansion in the nine prefectures.To put it bluntly, the purpose is to take Li Ke, the king of Shu, as an idle prince, so that he can't really meddle in local military affairs.

Now that he understands the other party's intentions, he has a more or less crude countermeasure in his heart.

As for Yu Kui next to Liang Shidao, Guo Ye saw that the middle-aged man was sticking close to Liang Shidao without saying a word, just like a follower, he must be a gangster.Moreover, it should still be the role of Liang Shidao's thugs.

Then, Guo Ye automatically ignored Yu Kui and directed all his firepower at Liang Shidao.

Immediately, he stopped going around with Liang Shidao, and opened the skylight to speak brightly, saying: "Inspector Liang, we Ming people don't speak dark words. The king of Shu is in Shuzhou, and you, as the governor of Shuzhou, must have already accepted it." When it comes to the imperial decree, His Royal Highness should have prepared the government office of the Governor's Mansion in Shuzhou early. But look, you open your dog eyes and take a good look, what dick you have prepared..."

As he said that, Guo Ye ordered people to light dozens of torches at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, illuminating the dilapidated and dilapidated gate, which really looked a hundred times more desolate than the ruined temple and Yizhuang.

Liang Shidao couldn't help but frown, not because Guo Ye ruthlessly revealed the matter of the dilapidated Governor's Mansion on the spot, but because Guo Ye opened his mouth and said vulgar words at himself.

Soon, his brows were stretched, and he pretended to be embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "Guo Changshi doesn't know something. Jiannan Road in the middle of Shu is not as prosperous as the imperial capital Chang'an. We are poor here! The governor's mansion There is not enough money in the treasury, and some small counties had a disaster relief a few days ago, which is really stretched. Alas... the local government also has the difficulties of the local government!"

The implication is that there is no extra money in the governor's mansion of Shuzhou for the king of Shu to build and repair the governor's mansion.

But this kind of nonsense is told to Shu Wang Li Ke, maybe he will believe it.But Liang Shidao said these words to Guo Ye, to Guo Ye's ears, it was like burning newspapers on the grave - fooling ghosts.

As a native of Longxi, how could he not know whether Yizhou, Shuzhou and other counties near the Minjiang River were rich?

And when he entered the city tonight, he had carefully observed the streets of Shuzhou County, where countless shops, restaurants, inns and teahouses were lined up one after another. ?There are seven counties in one prefecture in Shuzhou. Except for a part of the tax money collected every year to be escorted to the Chang'an household department, most of it is held in the bank of the governor's mansion in Shuzhou.

Guo Ye was secretly indignant, Liang Shidao actually called him poor?If you tell me, who will believe it?

Since Liang Shidao made it clear that he was making repeated excuses, he didn't bother to grind his teeth with the other party anymore, and said straight to the point: "Liang Governor, the King of Shu is a prince of the royal family, and he was ordered to conquer Shu Prefecture and control the nine prefectures. The matter of the Governor's Mansion Putting it aside for now, you can't let His Royal Highness the King of Shu sleep on the street tonight? His Royal Highness the King of Shu is about the dignity of the royal family, but more about the face of the emperor. Could it be that you have been in Shuzhou for a long time, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and your eyes have long since disappeared Can the imperial court succeed without the emperor?"

What a big hat!

Liang Shidao couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and quickly shook his head and denied it: "Guo Changshi's words are wrong. I am loyal to the emperor, loyal to the emperor, and work hard for the court and the country. Can you Don't want to frame and throw dirty water indiscriminately."

"Hmph." Guo Ye stared at Liang Shidao's false face with a piercing gaze, and shouted, "In this case, how will you arrange the camp of His Highness the King of Shu? Tell me a word, don't bother me!"

Liang Shidao still looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he said perfunctorily again: "It's not that I don't want to be resettled, it's because the government doesn't have extra money to build the governor's mansion for His Highness, this, this, alas, Guo Changshi is not Forcing a beggar to open a porridge shop is embarrassing!"

Damn, Guo Ye understands that Liang Shidao's grandson just wants to make it difficult for Li Ke to the end, so that Li Ke has no shelter in Shuzhou.

A paralyzed, bullying dog, really shameless!

Guo Ye suddenly became gloomy, and shouted: "The surname is Liang, the king of Shu came here for the purpose of the vassal, how can you allow you to perfunctory and prevaricate? Well, since you keep calling you poor, the Shu state government is so poor that you can't even get rid of it." Well, then I won’t embarrass you. You don’t need to worry about the money for the construction of the Dudu’s Mansion. Guo still has face and popularity in Shu, so I will raise the money myself. But during the construction of the Dudu’s Mansion, you, as the Governor of Shu, There must be a temporary place for His Royal Highness Shu's camp, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye paused for a while, swallowed his saliva, and said in a stern voice: "Civilian Liang, since we are here, we will not think about leaving. I will put the word on behalf of His Royal Highness the King of Shu today." Here, the governor's mansion of Shuzhou will take root in Shuzhou City, and no one can stop this trend!"

"Uh……"

Liang Shidao was stunned by Guo Ye's words for a moment, he couldn't help but choked up, subconsciously lowered his head and pretended to be thinking about it, but in fact his eyes flashed a bit of sternness, he thought to himself, this person is really difficult to deal with as Xiao Pushe said Extremely.

However, he seemed to have expected that Guo Ye would say this, so he suddenly looked up at Li Ke, the king of Shu who had been proudly ignoring him with his head up, and said confidently: "Hmm... Your Highness, there is a building outside the city of Shuzhou County. The Zhuangyuan is the property of the government office of Shuzhou, and there is no residence on weekdays. Otherwise, I will temporarily wrong you and the governor's mansion to move there, and wait for Mr. Guo to raise enough money to build the governor's mansion in the future, and then you will move to the county. Come from the city?"

After finishing speaking, he winked at Yu Kui who was pretending to be dumb and not farting.

Yu Kui understood, nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, that manor house is only twenty miles away from Shuzhou County City. It is really a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is suitable for noble royal children like His Highness to live. Wait. In the future, after the construction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is completed, His Highness will move back to the city, which is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds, and it will also relieve the embarrassment of His Highness and his party of nearly a thousand people sleeping on the streets of the city overnight, right?"

Don't look at Li Ke's rebellious and rebellious appearance, but he is actually physically tired, his eyelids are fighting and he is so sleepy, and even his legs are trembling secretly.

Now listening to Liang Shidao and Yu Kui's suggestion, I felt a lot better, and found a little place to come back, nodded immediately and said: "Okay, this is the only way for the time being."

As soon as the king of Shu said this, Liang Shidao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyebrows were slightly changed.

Just when he was secretly proud, Guo Ye waved his hand and shouted: "No!!!"

Chapter 643 Retreating to advance and find the place

Liang Shidao listened to Li Ke, King of Shu, nodding his head in agreement, and he was delighted to secretly call for the success of the treacherous scheme, but he was disturbed by Guo Ye's stop.

This man is such a tiresome shit-stirring stick!

Immediately, Liang Shidao didn't care about pretending to be humble, and shouted at Guo Ye angrily: "Guo Changshi, don't forget your own identity. You are only Shi Er, the governor of the capital. Is it possible that you can still influence the king of Shu?" Your Highness’s decision? Is it up to you or His Highness the King of Shu to decide on the governor’s mansion of the Shu Prefecture? Could it be that in your eyes, His Highness the King of Shu is just a show?”

Hehe, Guo Ye's eyes turned cold when he heard it. He even knows how to sow discord, deliberately exalt himself and belittle Li Ke, so as to achieve the purpose of dividing the two and breaking the barrier from the inside.

However, he was not enraged by Liang Shidao, but responded with a sneer and a frank heart: "Put away your clown tricks, Your Majesty knows that the King of Shu is young and will be instigated and bullied by some rats with ulterior motives. He ordered me to be the Chief of the Governor's Mansion, Shi Fubi, His Highness the King of Shu. Moreover, His Highness the King of Shu has entrusted me with full authority to handle all the current affairs for him. Right, Your Highness?"

In the last sentence, he turned his head towards Li Ke, with clear eyes and a candid voice.

Although Li Ke is not deeply involved in the world, he can always tell the difference between close and distant, and he knows very well in his heart that his mother, Concubine Yang, has repeatedly urged him to rely on Guo Ye's help this time for Fanshu Prefecture. He specified that he couldn't play well.

Liang Shidao and Guo Ye, he naturally chose to believe in Guo Ye without hesitation.

Immediately, he nodded again, perfectly matching Guo Ye's words, and said: "This king has given Guo Changshi the full power to handle all matters in the Dudu Mansion. Listen carefully, Governor Liang. Guo Changshi's words are The king's words."

After all, he turned his head and stopped talking, and continued to act as a high-end bully according to Guo Ye's previous instructions.

This made Liang Shidao's teeth itch with anger, his brows were clouded for a moment, and he said in a hateful voice: "Guo Changshi, since you said that the Dudu Mansion needs to be built right now, how do you ask me to arrange it? I can't conjure it up out of thin air. A new Metropolitan Governor's Mansion? Could it be that you still want to let the official's Governor's Mansion be released for His Highness to set up camp?"

"You're right." Guo Ye nodded his head heavily with a smile on his face, and praised, "The one who knows me is the governor of Liang. That's exactly what I mean!"

Liang Shidao didn't expect Guo Ye to hit the snake with the stick, but he took his angry words and joked that he was serious, and then he waved his hands repeatedly and refused: "What? No, no..."

Guo Ye suddenly moved a step closer, and stared at Liang Shidao: "Why not? His Royal Highness the King of Shu is in Shuzhou, and he is the governor of Shuzhou, controlling Zhechong Duwei's mansion, which is the mansion of Kyushu. Could it be that you are the governor of Shuzhou?" Can you still be more powerful than him, more prominent than him? Governor Liang, there is no need for Guo to say more about the way of monarchs and ministers, right? You have committed crimes several times today, and you have no vassal king. You care about it. People, you always have to be clear about your identity and how many bowls of rice you can eat, what do you think?"

"Uh……"

Liang Shidao choked up his words, and thought, he was offended anyway, and the window paper was also torn, so he might as well follow Xiao Pushe all the way to the end.Sitting on both sides of the fence will always get no benefit.

Immediately, Liang Shidao said with full confidence: "Guo Changshi, it is true that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the governor of Shu Prefecture, but you must not forget that His Royal Highness can only control the Zhechong capitals of the nine prefectures." The Wei Mansion, the military affairs of the nine prefectures are under his control. But this does not mean that the governor's mansion should also be controlled by him? Does the imperial court have a rule that the vassal kings are not allowed to interfere with local government affairs. And this time the emperor's news about the Shu king's vassal affairs came to the The will of the local people is also very clear, His Royal Highness the King of Shu can only control the military affairs of the nine regions. The local civil affairs and official administration cannot tolerate the vassal princes' meddling!"

Guo Ye didn't feel annoyed when he heard it, he squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "You mean that His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the governor of Shuzhou, can't interfere with the government affairs of Shuzhou Governor's Mansion, but can only control the military affairs of Shuzhou Zhechong Duwei's Mansion. Does that mean?"

Liang Shidao felt a little proud, nodded and said, "That's right!"
