Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

At least, in the future, the court will not let Changsun Wuji and others dominate by one party, which will add some constraints.

This is exactly what I want to see.

Immediately, His Majesty Li Er said loudly: "Okay, since the Qing family has no objection to Yu Shinan's appointment as Shangshu Youpushe, Chu Suiliang, Chen Kang and others as Guozijian's Jijiu and Guozijian's duties. Then, this matter That's how the matter is settled. As for Guo Ye's appointment as the imperial censor, the time is not yet ripe, so..."

"Your Majesty, my minister Guoye has something to say!"

Guo Ye suddenly interrupted His Majesty Li Er's final decision on himself in time, and hurried out, clasping his hands in prayer.

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry because of Guo Ye's abrupt interruption.Because he felt somewhat guilty towards Guo Ye. After all, he knew that everything was arranged by Guo Ye, and it was all linked together. He pressed Changsun Wuji step by step to win the situation in the end.

Now he, the person who gave advice and layout, who should have enjoyed the greatest victory, was picked out of peaches due to some objective factors, and he was also kicked out of the game, and finally missed the easy-to-obtain post of doctor censor .

His Majesty Li Er felt that this was unexpected and that he owed Guo Ye.

Immediately, he said with a warm face: "Guo Qing, if you have something to say, just say it, and I will listen."

Guo Ye cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Fang Xuanling said is correct, the country's plans cannot be affected because of the gains and losses of a single minister, let alone disrupt the plan that His Majesty has worked so hard to arrange. Therefore, this censor Not only can I not take over the position of doctor, but I must leave Chang'an as soon as possible. Otherwise, some gossip will spread to Tubo, which may cause nights and dreams, which will make Songtsan Gampo's bandit chieftain have a different heart."

"what?"

His Majesty Li Er was obviously taken aback by Guo Ye's initiative.

In his view, Guo Ye must be full of resentment and grievances, and he will cry and fight in front of him and fight for opportunities again and again.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ye not only proposed that he could not take over the position of doctor censor, but also offered to leave Chang'an as soon as possible, so as not to burden the court and himself.

Ugh……

If His Majesty Li Er said in his heart that he was not moved, it would be a lie. This is the real loyal minister, and this is the minister who understands my thoughts best.

In an instant, His Majesty Li Er's favor for Guo Ye once again soared all the way.

Then, he asked with even more guilt: "Guo Qing, are you planning to go back to your hometown in Longxi, Central Shu?"

Guo Ye shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, as a courtier, you must be loyal to the emperor if you eat the emperor's salary. How can you always care about your own small family and forget the country? Although the minister can't share the worries for the saint in the court Although you can't bathe in the emperor's favor in Chang'an, the capital of the emperor, you can still serve the emperor with all your loyalty. In the eyes of the minister, it is a minister to give advice and suggestions for your majesty in the court; but in the folk, in places, even in remote In a small place, all ministers are good ministers of the emperor, they can equally serve His Majesty as ministers, and they can equally serve the country with all their loyalty."

"Good, good, good!"

Feeling guilty, His Majesty Li Er shouted three good words excitedly. Guo Ye was so considerate of himself and didn't cause trouble for himself. I was touched, really touched.

Immediately, he pointed to Guo Ye and said to the people in Wangbei Pavilion: "It's not easy to have such insight at a young age, it really is not easy, this is my good minister."

His Majesty Li Er deliberately bit down on the word "good minister", and glanced at Changsun Wuji with sharp eyes, which made Changsun Wuji feel guilty for a while.

"Therefore, I implore the emperor to allow me to do one thing, to give me a chance to share the emperor's worries and labors, and serve the country loyally!"

Guo Ye suddenly said with a solemn expression: "I heard that the old Khan Fuyun of Tuyuhun passed away a while ago, and my Tang court has never sent a special envoy to offer condolences. Therefore, I took the initiative to invite Mao to recommend myself, and I am willing to replace the emperor. , ran a trip to Tuyuhun for the imperial court, and conveyed the emperor's condolences to Fu Yun's old Khan."

"This..."

His Majesty Li Er was startled for a moment, nodded and said: "Old Khan Fuyun has passed away. I heard Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, mentioned this to me, but I have been busy with other things since then, so I neglected to forget about it." Yes. If you don’t mention Guo Ye, I really forgot all about it.”

Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda immediately looked at each other, a gleam of joy flashed in their eyes, and their faces were full of satisfaction, especially Yu Shinan, who secretly praised in his heart, what a clever Guo boy, he actually knows how to retreat to advance, so that he can stand on his own feet. In a defeated place, children can be taught!

In an instant, he stood up and cheered: "Your Majesty, Guo Ye really has the heart to serve the country with all his strength. He is not afraid of hard work and thinks of things that others have never thought of. Tuyuhun is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. When the Khan dies, he should send someone to comfort him. That's right."

"Master Yu is very right." Kong Yingda echoed, "Now that the new Khan of Tuyuhun has succeeded to the throne, and the Tubo Kingdom has tried its best to win over Tuyuhun, the old minister thinks that a special envoy should be sent there. After all, the new Khan Khan's ascension to the throne is a new scene, who can guarantee that the new Khan Tuyuhun will continue to submit to our Tang Dynasty like the old Khan Fu Yun?"

"Yes, the two gentlemen are right!"

His Majesty Li Er nodded heavily, and said approvingly: "In this way, since you, Guo Ye, have volunteered and are willing to come here for the court and me, then I will restore your title as the male of Longxi County and make you a Xuanfu envoy, the leader of the mission to Tuyuhun. This Xuanfu envoy is just a false title, with no real power and rank, forgive Songtsen Gampo for not being able to say any nonsense."

"Chen Guo Ye thanked the Lord Long En. This time I will go to Tuyuhun as an envoy, and I will definitely not fall into the national prestige of my Tang Dynasty. I promise to win over Tuyuhunxin Khan for the court on behalf of your majesty, so that he can continue to submit to Datang just like Fuyun Khan. Don, don't be distracted."

"Okay, I have always believed in your ability. This matter is settled like this. You should have no objections, right?"

His Majesty Li Er made a final decision and finalized the matter Guo Ye mentioned.

When Changsun Wuji heard that Guo Ye was actually advancing by retreating, he not only got his title back, but also got a Xuanfu envoy to Tuyuhun, how could he get what he wanted?

Immediately, he had to stand up and oppose again.However, Fang Xuanling secretly pulled him down and suppressed this sign.

Fang Xuanling took advantage of the emperor's inattention, and whispered in his ear: "Just take it as soon as you see it, don't you want to go against the trend to make the emperor unhappy, and just leave Guo Ye in Chang'an again?" Dangling in front of our eyes? Forget it, as long as he is not in the court and leaves Chang'an, we will deal with it slowly in the future."

When Changsun Wuji heard about it, he had no choice but to kill the gang in his heart.

However, just when His Majesty Li Er was about to dismiss the big guys, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, who had never been involved in the messy things on both sides, raised an objection:

"Your Majesty, the Xuan Fu envoy who was sent to Tuyuhun is also the imperial envoy sent by the Tang Dynasty. Hehe, Guo Ye has no important position, and he is a small man from Longxi County. It is a little bit a bit strange to go abroad like this to represent the Tang Dynasty. It’s shabby, isn’t it? According to Chen, since Guo Ye can’t hold an important position because of Tubo, at least he should be promoted to a noble title, right? A man from Longxi County is on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, hey, it’s really embarrassing I'm sorry for this man!"

Although Li Daozong's voice was a bit deep, it was better than that, and he heard every word in the ears of everyone present.

The twists and turns are simply shocking!

Uh……

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Li Daozong's words.

Especially Guo Ye, who shouted a hundred thousand reasons in his heart. He and Li Daozong have always been at odds. How come at this juncture, the other party not only didn't hurt him, but was willing to add a little bit of icing on the cake for him?

It is most appropriate for Li Daozong, the Minister of Zongzhengsi who is in charge of royal affairs, to propose the title of title.

But why is Li Daozong so disregarding the previous suspicions and being so generous on the contrary?

Guo Ye stared at Li Daozong with wide-eyed eyes, but Li Daozong didn't care about him at all, and looked directly at His Majesty Li Er after speaking.

Chapter 692

"Huh? King Jiang Xia is so reasonable!"

His Majesty Li Er was reminded by Li Daozong, and after thinking about it, he also felt that this was exactly the case.

After all, Guo Ye was sending Tuyuhun as an envoy for Datang. If his status was low, it would not be dignified enough, and it would make Tuyuhun mistakenly think that Datang underestimated the other party.

No, absolutely cannot be sloppy in such details, and some problems that should not have occurred.

Immediately, His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Daozong and asked, "King Jiangxia, now Zongzheng Temple is under your control, so it is most appropriate for you to propose such a matter as being a noble. Come on, tell me, what should you add to Guo Ye?" The title is worthy of the status of envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Uh... Rong Chen think about it..."

Seeing the emperor kicking the ball back again, Li Daozong smacked his mouth, and said slowly: "The title of the Tang Dynasty has the fifth rank of the male prince, so it is better to make him the founding uncle of Yizhou, so as to strengthen my voice as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty." , what does His Majesty think?"

Guo Ye directly jumped from the county baron to the county earl.

In the title system of the Tang Dynasty, there are roughly five ranks of "Gonghou Bozinan", but if they are subdivided, they are divided into princes, heirs (who inherit the princes as heirs), county kings, state princes, county princes, county princes, and princes. County Marquis, County Bo, County Son, County Man.

And below "Guogong", the word "Jianguo" is added, and the place of birth is usually preceded by the word "Jianguo" to show the difference.The founding marquis and the founding uncle are crowned with prefectures and counties, and the founding sons and founding men are all crowned with counties.Such as the founding marquis of ×× county, and the founding son of ×× county.
