Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

On the contrary, the initiative on the scene was completely in the hands of Guo Ye, and he, the person who caused the trouble, became extremely passive.

Seeing this, Guo Ye felt that his momentum to overwhelm his opponent had almost been created, and it was time for Yu Deshui to step down.

Suddenly, he picked up the jug in front of him, leaned over to pour a glass of wine for Yu Deshui, and said in a harmonious voice: "My lord, since the matter has already happened, I will try my best to make up for it. You Don't you hate me for blocking your promotion path? It's easy to handle, as long as you are willing to complete the matter between Lingmei and Huang Ao, Guo will lobby Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda, and together with the two elders, recommend it to the emperor, and it's up to you Take up the position of Doctor Censor. How about it? Also, from now on, I will cede half of this Haitian Feast Restaurant to your brother-in-law. Are you always satisfied?"

"Uh……"

Yu Deshui was once again stunned by Guo Ye, why did the other party look like he would rather be broken than broken just now, and in the blink of an eye, he was willing to give up so many benefits for himself?

Doctor Yushitai Yushi!

This position is what I dreamed of climbing up to. I thought that when I heard that Guo Ye blocked my promotion, my eyes were darkened, and I was so angry that I almost spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

At this time, Guo Ye was actually willing to give up the official position for a servant, not to mention, he was willing to lobby and collaborate with Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda to recommend it to the emperor.

Could it be that my cheap brother-in-law really has that much weight in Guo Ye's heart?

Yu Deshui definitely wouldn't believe it. If Huang Ao was really that important, Guo Ye would have promoted him long ago, so how could he be allowed to guard a restaurant.

Even if it is a restaurant that is getting more and more money every day, it is still a restaurant. Huang Ao is at best a merchant who can't get on the table.

Suddenly, he remembered Guo Ye and Wei Zheng's confrontation, and the different camps and positions of the Jiancheng Yu Dang faction and the Shilin Qingliu faction.

In an instant, he suddenly realized, could it be that he wanted me to abandon Mr. Wei and win me over to enter the Lin Qingliu department?

Immediately he shook his head and said: "Marquis of Yizhou, Master Wei treated me with such kindness as a mountain, as if recreating it. I think that when I was the county magistrate in Luling, Master Wei..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Guo Ye abruptly interrupted Yu Deshui's confession, and said, "Master Yu, don't worry, since you feel that Mr. Wei is so kind to you and has a bright future, this Marquis will never try to win over you." .You listen carefully, this is just a transaction, just to let you let go of your consent to the marriage between Lingmei and my brother Huang Ao."

Guo Ye opened his mouth to talk nonsense, and suddenly, Huang Ao was promoted from a slave to Guo Ye's brother.

Yu Deshui was a little embarrassed when he heard Guo Ye exposed his small thoughts, but he still asked suspiciously: "Is it really that simple?"

To be honest, the temptation of Dr. Yushi to him is too great. This is his dream of entering the center. Now that it is at your fingertips, how can you not be tempted?

Guo Ye smiled and said: "It's not that simple, then how complicated do you think it is? Of course, the position of Doctor Yu Shi is too strict with self-discipline, too clean and honest, and it is uncomfortable to be stared at by too many people. It fits Guo's temperament. Hehe, since Mr. Yu is interested in this, why doesn't Guo retreat and give way to the virtuous? Besides, Huang Ao is my good brother, so I can't really let him go to the dungeon to eat the beheaded meal, right? "

Yu Deshui glanced at Guo Ye suspiciously again, pondering Guo Ye's words in his heart, and he was right, the young man of Yizhou Marquis was at the age of pleasure, and if he became the imperial doctor, his life would definitely be much less pleasure.

Afterwards, he nodded heavily, and agreed: "Okay, this is a deal, as long as you, the Marquis of Yizhou, are willing to help me take up the post of doctor censor, my Yu family will not blame Huang Ao, and he and I will be successful." My sister's marriage. In this way, all the expenses of the marriage will be paid by our Yu family, and I will give them a three-entry house in Tongrenfang."

Guo Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is your Yu family's business. I won't interfere. It's amazing. On the day of my brother's wedding, I'll come here to ask for a glass of water and wine. Well, Mr. Yu, let's talk about it like this It's settled, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, Shuang Luo got up and walked out of the private room.

But Huang Ao followed him all the way downstairs, thanking him without hesitation. Mr. Xie's family saved him from a disaster, and even found him a brother-in-law with such a strong background.

Since then, this kid's life trajectory must have been very different. Although he can't say that he has soared into the sky, at least he can be a master for a while.

Guo Ye sent Huang Ao to the door, and called Liu Zhenxuan out of the restaurant together.

Back in the carriage, on the way home, Guo Ye told Liu Zhenxuan what happened in the private room.

After Liu Zhenxuan heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, I know you value Huang Ao, but you are at a loss this time, aren't you? You handed over the post of Doctor Censor to someone else, and even split half of the Haitian Feast Master The restaurant is used by Huang Ao to fight for face, is it just to make Yu Deshui agree to Huang Ao's marriage with the fat lady of the Yu family?"

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenxuan felt more and more annoyed, and snorted: "This surname Yu obviously came here with a wishful thinking, and it's really annoying to take advantage of him for nothing. At worst, we will break up with him. Anyway, Huang Ao has made the belly of the fat lady of the Yu family bigger, so they can decide whether to marry or not."

Guo Ye heard Liu Zhenxuan open and shut his mouth to the fat lady at home, he couldn't help mourning for Huang Ao's lifelong happiness for a while, then chuckled, and said confidently through the car curtain:

"Zhenxuan, have you seen when your Lord Hou did a business that lost money? He took a needle from me in Yu Deshui, and he will have to pay back a bucket of gold in the future. I did this for my own purpose. .”

"Yu..."

Liu Zhenxuan tightened the reins suddenly, stopped the carriage, turned his head and asked curiously: "Master Hou, tell me, what nonsense tricks are you playing this time?"

Chapter 726 Seven Artful Exquisite Hearts

Liu Zhenxuan stopped the carriage suddenly, his eyes were burning with gossip, and he was curiously asking Guo Ye.

Guo Ye lifted the curtain of the car and said with a refreshing smile: "Your boy is sometimes very gossip, yes, our house is ahead, you drive slowly, and I will tell you something on the way?"

"It's done!"

Liu Zhenxuan was overjoyed, and slowly loosened the reins and started to drive the horse again, at a slightly slower speed.

Guo Ye simply got out of the carriage, sat side by side with him on the shaft, and asked, "Didn't Huang Ao tell you something happened in the court when the good news came back to Chang'an that day? Then let me ask you, Yu Deshui Who is it?"

Liu Zhenxuan didn't even think about it, and replied: "The parents of the people in Chang'an City, the governor of Chang'an Prefecture!"

Guo Ye spat: "Nonsense, of course you don't need to talk about this. I'm asking about his background."

Liu Zhenxuan thought for a while, and said: "It seems that Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wei Ting and others recommended him to take up the post of Doctor Censor. Moreover, Huang Ao mentioned that Wen Yanbo, who was recommended by Changsun Wuji and others, has a bad record. , the reputation is very bad, and the emperor doesn't value it. If it wasn't for Lord Hou, you turned out to be born, the emperor would definitely appoint him as the imperial doctor. Hey, he is actually unlucky to say the least, if it wasn't for Lord Hou...not right, anyway, he Now my wish has been fulfilled. Eh? Lord Hou, is there something to be said here?"

Guo Ye patted his head, spat on the elm head, and then cleared his doubts: "Of course there is a talker, you think, if I back away from the virtuous and give him the post of Doctor Censor, what do you think it means?" Obviously, for this favor, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others will definitely owe me a favor, and there may be a possibility in the future that the Shihlin Qingliu Department and the Jiancheng Yu Party Department will join forces. Let's fight together against Changsun Wuji and others' old officials of the Tiance Mansion. Think about it, now our Shilin Qingliu faction is weak, while the eldest Sun Wuji and others are not only powerful in the court, but also deeply rooted in the local government. Staggered. Let's fight them hard, it's tantamount to bending our arms, so where are our opponents?"

Liu Zhenxuan let out a sigh, and said: "I understand a little bit, this is the sentence that you often say, Lord Hou, to unite all forces that can be united, right?"

Guo Ye praised: "Yes, you are not stupid. Of course, there are several other factors that prompted me to voluntarily give up the position of Doctor Yushi. One is naturally to sell Wei Zheng and the others, and the other is to let my eldest grandson be free. There is a gap between Ji and Wei Zheng and others, we can't let Wei Zheng and others stay out of the matter all the time, we have to drag them in to muddy the water together, everyone is gathering firewood and the flames are high.

Another one is that I am really not interested in the position of Doctor Censor, which offends people too much.You can see that Gao Shilian returned home after returning home. The old man is a good man, but it is a pity that he has become a thorn in the eyes of all officials in the court because of his position as a royal official.If it weren't for the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun, I don't know how many times I would have to fight.I've heard that after the old man took office, he spent all day tending flowers and plants at home, but almost no one in the Gao Mansion visited him.That's okay, the old man Gao Shilian is a good man, at least I can walk around with him after retiring from the court, otherwise it would be inconvenient for everyone to have different factions. "

Liu Zhenxuan understood almost everything this time, and complimented: "Master Hou, why do you think you have such a heart? Why do you have such a delicate heart?"

Guo Ye rolled his eyes at him and said, "You mean to say that I have too many eyes and too cunning, right? Hehe, playing politics in the court is different from our battles in the battlefield. You are not afraid of being stubborn. There is no disadvantage in the battlefield, but in the court It is a big taboo in the party struggle. Every step in the court is frightening and deceitful. If you don't have a long-term mind, you may be gnawed until there is no dregs left, and you will not realize it in the end. Jianghu is dangerous and politics is dirty. Of course, there is another crucial reason that made me completely determined to give up the position of Doctor Censor, and that is the Emperor’s side. I know that it is impossible for the Emperor to rest assured that I will take up the position of Doctor Censor.”

"emperor?"

Liu Zhenxuan's curiosity was aroused again, and he asked strangely: "Master Hou, you have made such a great contribution this time, let alone a doctor with no real power, it is the position of the six ministers, I think the emperor is willing to promise it to you." Bar?"

"Hehe, misfortune is the result of blessings and blessings are the source of misfortune. It is precisely because I have made such a shocking achievement that some troubles will come one after another, such as high achievements... Hey..." Guo Ye was halfway through his speech. , suddenly smiled and shook his head and said, "Why am I telling you this? You don't understand such things as the emperor's mind, and I just got a glimpse of it."

Liu Zhenxuan was smart and clever this time, seeing Guo Ye's obscurity and reluctance to continue talking, he actually gave up the desire to gossip, lowered his head silently, and drove the carriage.

At this moment, the two of them could vaguely see the red tiles and gray walls of Yizhou Marquis Mansion while sitting on the shaft of the car.

Guo Ye glanced at Liu Zhenxuan, and secretly praised him, he is smart and has a future.

da da da da da...

The carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the Yizhou Marquis Mansion, and Guo Ye jumped off the carriage first and climbed the steps to enter the mansion.

There were already soldiers guarding the door, and when they saw Guo Ye coming back, they said in a low voice, "Master Hou, the right servant of Shangshu, Mr. Sheyu, is waiting for you in the study."

He went back to Chang'an on his front heel, and Yu Shinan ran to his mansion on his back heel. This old man is really a prophet.

He hummed lightly, then entered the Hou Mansion and went straight to the direction of the study.
