Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Faced with many unfriendly looks, Changsun Wuji thought he was playing the trick, cursing Kong Yingda, the old killer is really cunning, and he actually played a trick of stealing the horse.

Immediately, he immediately denied it: "Don't talk about Kong Shangshu, I don't mean it. By the way, as far as I know, Guo Ye doesn't seem to be a Jinshi, and he doesn't even have a reputation as a scholar. People, what virtue and ability, dare to steal the position of doctor censor? You have to know that there are hundreds of officials in the censor platform, who are responsible for picking up the morals of the prefectures and counties in various places. The younger generation commands Yushitai, haha, don’t you think it’s a bit of a monkey’s crown?”

"So what if you don't have a Jinshi background? What if you don't have any fame?"

Yu Shinan, who had been eyeing him all this time, finally made a move. He confronted each other and said, "Isn't it over if the sage grants him a fellow Jinshi?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar again.Everyone condescended in low voices, Yu Shinan, this is too childish, isn't it?To actually let the emperor grant Guo Ye the same background as a Jinshi, isn't this clearly doing everything possible to pave the way for Guo Ye to be a royal doctor?How can there be such absurd things in this world?

The so-called conferring Jinshi background and conferring Jinshi background are two different things.

The background of a Jinshi depends on the real ability of being a Jinshi, and the same Jinshi is a consolation reward for those special talents who do not have a high school Jinshi, barely giving him a Jinshi background.

The "same" here means "different", that is to say, the same Jinshi background is actually different from the real Jinshi, but it can be considered as a Jinshi.

Just like we usually see those masters in Gaomen's mansion marrying concubines and wives, they are often called Mrs. Ru.

Ru Madam actually means that it is different from the real Madam, just to give you a comforting name, lest you cry, make trouble, hang yourself and toss me.

To sum up, it is the emperor's special favor to give Tong Jinshi's background, and it is aimed at talents who have not been awarded Jinshi but are valued by the emperor.

Yu Shinan made it clear that he was reaching out for Guo Ye and the emperor's parentage, the purpose was to gild Guo Ye's body, so that he could take up the post of Yushi doctor logically.

However, how can this convince the public?

"joke!"

Changsun Wuji yelled righteously: "You have a red mouth and white teeth and open your mouth and let the emperor give him a background as a Jinshi. Hehe, Yu Shinan, why?"

At this time, even His Majesty Li Er was a little dissatisfied, and this Yu Shinan was too unscrupulous and arrogant, and he didn't take me seriously at all.

"Just rely on this!"

Suddenly, Yu Shinan straightened his waist, raised his beards, and carefully took out a memorial from his arms like a treasure, held it up high and shouted: "Let me tell you, Changsun Wuji, just rely on the one in my hand." This! Hmph, don't say that the emperor bestowed Guo Ye with a Jinshi background, so what if he was given a Jinshi degree?"

Changsun Wuji went in without knowing it, and naturally sarcastically said: "Haha, what a shameless boast!"

It was Li Er Majesty who became interested and asked, "Yu Aiqing, what is in your hand? Where did you get the memorial?"

Yu Shinan continued to hold the memorial high, and walked a few steps forward with vigor, and shouted in a loud voice, afraid that others would not hear him: "Your Majesty, this is the good news that Guo Ye sent from Tuyuhun quickly, good news!"

Good news?

His Majesty Li Er thought to himself, didn't I ask him to go to Tuyuhun as an envoy to re-establish the relationship between the two countries?How to send good news for no reason?

Confused, he gestured to Dong Shun who was in front of him: "Dong Shun, take it and present it!"

"Here!"

Dong Shun lightly waved the whisk in his hand, inserted it into his waist, went down the steps to take the good news from Yu Shinan's hand, and held it in front of His Majesty Li Er with both hands.

His Majesty Li Er did not reach out to pick it up, but waved and said, "Read!"

Dong Shun understood, spread out the good news slowly, cleared his throat, and read slowly: "Since I was ordered by the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to go to Tuyuhun, I have never dared to forget your majesty's earnest entrustment. Since entering the Tuyuhun Kingdom, everywhere he went, he saw people praising His Majesty the Khan, our emperor, for his valor. His reputation has spread far and wide.... Your Majesty, Bailan City underwent a drastic change ten days ago, and the princes and ministers of Tuyuhun in the city colluded secretly with the Tubo people. , attempting to put his successor Khan Murong Yan under house arrest and launch a palace coup, intending to change the course and completely abandon our covenant with the Great Tang Kingdom..."

When Eunuch Shun read this, the court was in an uproar again, and everyone who heard it changed their expressions, even His Majesty Li Er, who was always as calm as Mount Tai, could not help but change his expression, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Eunuch Shun continued to read: "Murongyan, the new Khan of Tuyuhun, has a benevolent heart and great ambitions, and he yearns for the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly. During the palace coup, Murong Yan led the rebels into the Tuyuhun palace that night. Your Majesty begs for help. Because I am single and weak, and have no soldiers to use under my command, I really have the will but powerless, what a pity!"

All of a sudden, there was a sound of sighs and sighs in the entire court, and they condemned those rebels in Tuyuhun, while His Majesty Li Er nodded and praised Murong Yan, a young khan who would rather die than surrender. Young man of fire.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Shun read again: "But I know very well that Tuyuhun is the kingdom of my Tang Dynasty. How can I see death without saving you? How can I let the Tubo people succeed in their treacherous schemes and occupy Tuyuhun country by force? Immediately, the minister led the army overnight. The personal soldiers went to the Xichuan Duhu Mansion to ask for reinforcements, and gathered nearly ten thousand young and strong Han people to fill the army. They turned back and rushed to help Tuyuhun to stop the coup and rescue Murongyan Khan. Unfortunately, when manpower is exhausted, the minister still comes One step later. When I arrived at Bailan City, I saw the Tuyuhun Palace burning into the sky, a sea of ​​flames, it was Murong Yan Khan who was unwilling to be captured and humiliated, so he set himself on fire in the palace."

wow~

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar again, and even His Majesty Li Er got angry and shouted: "This group of rebellious officials and thieves who have no respect for the emperor should copy and kill their families. Dong Shun, and ?"

"Yes, yes!"

Eunuch Shun was taken aback by His Majesty Li Er's Long Yan's anger, and continued to read tremblingly: "Murong Yan Khan is as strong as a man, and I am in awe of you. How can I let this gang of rebellious officials and thieves do whatever they want, and fight with you?" The Tubo people were secretly fornicating? Immediately, the ministers led the Xichuan army into Bailan City, personally avenged Murongyan Khan, not only punished the rebel army and wiped him out, but also stabilized Bailan City immediately. its turbulent.

In the days that followed, Chen pursued and suppressed the rebellious and eager Tubo thieves in Tuyuhun, and gradually pacified several other cities in Tuyuhun.At the same time, the [-] Tuyuhun troops on the border responded one after another, willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.Since then, the other seven cities in Tuyuhun and Bailan City have changed their flags and all belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no Tuyuhun country in the world.Minister Guoye hereby begs His Majesty to quickly dispatch Li Jing and other troops to Tuyuhun to prevent the current situation from being turbulent. ...Guo Ye looked at Chang'an from a distance, bowed his head and bowed to the emperor, long live, long live, long live..."

After nearly a thousand words in eloquence, Eunuch Shun finally finished reading.

After reading, he turned his head to look at His Majesty Li Er, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

But who would have thought that His Majesty Li Er didn't say a word, and stood there in a daze, with his mouth slightly opened and closed, looking absent-minded.

After a while, His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked Mr. Shun, "Dong Shun, what did Guo Ye say in the end? There is no more Tuyuhun in the world, and the seven cities of Tuyuhun belong to the Tang Dynasty?"

Dong Shun endured his heart beating wildly, and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yizhou went to Tuyuhun this time, by accident, he actually opened up the territory for our Tang Empire, and it sounds like it's going smoothly and easily. Yes, tsk tsk, this, this is really unheard of."

"Oh……"

His Majesty Li Er replied dully, and fell into silence again.

At this time, not only His Majesty Li Er, but even all the civil and military officials in the palace were silent, holding their breath and not daring to pant, it was you looking at me and I looking at you, all of them were full of unbelievable looks, It seems that I was not listening to the good news just now, but listening to the heavenly scriptures.

Soon, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were the first to wake up, especially Changsun Wuji, who was full of jealousy and hatred in his heart. Isn't Guo Ye, the little thief, lucky?Opening up territories is actually that simple?Is this true or false?

He was just about to open his mouth to question, but he heard His Majesty Li Er shouting abruptly like a corpse: "Changsun Wuji, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pass the order to Li Jing, Chai Shao, Qin Shubao and other troops from all walks of life." Let them rush to Tuyuhun. Guo Ye is weak in Tuyuhun at this time, what if the Tubo people take advantage of it? Wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"

Changsun Wuji was filled with reluctance in every possible way, and questioned, "Your Majesty, this incident is too appalling and unexpected, and hearing the good news from the Marquis of Yizhou, it is really too childish. The heavenly skill of breaking up the earth is so simple? Why don't you let me send people to Tuyuhun first, and then make a decision after confirming it?"

"Bastard!"

His Majesty Li Er was furious, and he cursed like a thunderbolt, "How many heads does Guo Ye have? How can you deceive me about this kind of thing at will? Wuji, Wuji, at this moment, why are you so small-minded and narrow-minded? , I am always thinking about my one-acre three-point land, and the faction is constantly fighting?"

Bang!

These heartbreaking words pierced Changsun Wuji's heart like ten thousand steel needles, and he was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't mean that, I just want to be cautious." Some, in case things are not as Guo Ye said..."

"Okay." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand in disgust, "Changsun Wuji, don't talk too much, go down quickly and draft an order and send it to Li Jing, go down!"

Changsun Wuji was really in a bad situation and couldn't argue with his mouth, and he would continue to defend himself.

However, His Majesty Li Er didn't bother to look at him anymore. On the contrary, he looked at Yu Shinan with a friendly face, and said softly: "Yu Aiqing, it's just a trivial matter to give Guo Ye the same background as a Jinshi. You immediately write a letter for me and call Guo Ye Hurry back to Chang'an. Tsk tsk, I want to listen carefully to what he has to say about Tuyuhun."

"Old minister obeys!"

Yu Shinan was full of energy, shouting loudly like a bronze bell, and then he did not forget to look at Changsun Wuji provocatively with triumphant eyes.

But at this time, Changsun Wuji was already drooping his head and looking sickly, he dared not and did not want to meet Yu Shinan's eyes again.

Chapter 723 Returning

A few days later, the imperial decree of His Majesty Li Er arrived on the grassland of the East Turkic army. After receiving the decree, Li Jing arranged for the three armies of Chai Shao, Li Ji, and Cheng Yaojin to stay in place to guard, and then he personally led the army to fight with Qin Shubao. , Hou Junji and the other two armies quickly set off and marched towards Tuyuhun.
