Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye was embarrassed immediately, and hastily hid the brocade handkerchief in his sleeve, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The minister saw that the brocade handkerchief from the queen was quite new, so I carried it with me all the time, otherwise I would throw it away." Wouldn't it be a pity not to use it? Besides, it was given to me by the empress, so I dare not throw it away indiscriminately."

"Oh……"

Empress Changsun lowered her head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in her heart, a blush appeared on her face for no reason, and she secretly scolded herself for being confused.

Why?

It's because this Fang Jinpa is something that she hides close to her body in obscene clothes on weekdays. It is basically used to wipe the fragrant sweat in her body, so it is a relatively close-fitting and secretive thing.

That day, because he couldn't find paper to write a note to Guo Ye, he replaced it with a brocade handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ye didn't throw it away, but washed it clean and wore it on his body all the time.

Who knows if this kid has been washed?

If you didn't wash it, wouldn't it be that your own sweat and his...indirect...skin-to-skin contact? ?

Suddenly, Empress Changsun's heart was pounding like a deer, and the strange shyness of a girl Huaichun many years ago suddenly came to her mind.

She lowered her head in a daze for a while before she got used to it. She still had a calm expression on her face and said with a smile, "Hehe, the Marquis of Yizhou is very frugal. But I asked you to come to Changchun Garden today. I want to apologize to you."

She quickly changed the subject, not wanting to get entangled in the brocade handkerchief any longer.

Guo Ye was also taken aback when he heard the words, Empress Changsun took the initiative to apologize to herself?Isn't this too ridiculous?

Immediately, he hurriedly got up and refused: "Why did the empress make such a statement? It really frustrates this humble minister, and I am filled with sincerity and fear."

Empress Changsun waved her hand, beckoned him to sit down, and said, "Yizhou Marquis, you are actually a smart man. You should have heard the long cry of the palace at the imperial banquet today. To be honest, today you If you nod your head and agree to take up the position of Doctor Censor, I will definitely get in the way. Because I was entrusted by others, I will definitely not let you do what you want today. Hehe, I am extremely ashamed. I never thought that I would repay kindness with grievances and revenge with kindness. when."

After hearing this, Guo Ye immediately understood, needless to say, this entrustment must have been instigated by Changsun Wuji.

But at this time, Empress Changsun was able to be open and honest with him, and he was really moved in his heart.Even though Empress Changsun wanted to help her that day and help her persuade His Majesty Li Er to keep the fetus in her womb, but in fact she didn't need to explain this matter clearly.

Immediately, he shook his head generously and said with a smile: "Queen, in fact, my humble minister is not in the court. When I have the time to intrigue, I might as well go to the local government to manage the people's livelihood and seek more benefits for the people. Seriously, yes Some people think too much, and in the end even you, the queen, can't stand his instigation. No matter, after a while, the minister will leave Chang'an and go to Yangzhou to take up his post. By then, those people will feel at ease even if they don't see it. I hope that without me dangling in front of his eyes, he can do more good deeds in the court to benefit the country and the country, and plead for the people."

When someone Guo said something high-sounding, he immediately elevated his image infinitely by tens of feet, and Wei Guang was really at the peak.

These words were heard in the ears of Empress Changsun, and she judged Guo Ye and her elder brother in her heart. The elder brother was too small-minded and engaged in party disputes for his own self-interest.On the contrary, Guo Ye, who is young, has the country and the country in his heart, and cares about the well-being of the people. This is a minister who can share the worries and labors of the emperor.

For a moment, a sentence popped into her mind, Guo Ye is really a good official of the Tang Dynasty.

But the more this happened, the more she felt ashamed of Guo Ye.

She has a gentle temperament, and has always disliked interfering in government affairs, and even less like the dictatorship of her relatives. Now some of her brother's actions seem to her to be more worrying.

Suddenly, she had feelings and doubts, and even a wavering in her beliefs. She thought to herself, maybe it is not wise to entrust Chengqian's future on his uncle.

Once this thought arises, it cannot be suppressed, and it spreads in an instant...

Perhaps, it is possible to improve the relationship between Chengqian, Taier and Guo Ye?

But how to improve it?

She said it was a pity in her heart, it would be great if Guo Ye didn't have a family, otherwise he would be an ideal candidate for a son-in-law...

"Ahem, empress, empress?"

Seeing Empress Changsun in a daze, Guo Ye couldn't help but reminded: "Now it's the beginning of autumn, and the weather is getting colder. Now that you are pregnant with old troubles, it's not suitable to stay outside for a long time. And the weather is too dark. It's getting late, and it's time for the minister to say goodbye and leave the palace."

"Oh……"

Empress Changsun nodded subconsciously, and said, "I'm sorry for the marquis of Yizhou. By the way, Marquis of Yizhou, I heard Princess Wencheng mention to me last time that my wife, Wu Xiuxiu, is actually Huo Guogong and the late Princess Pingyang living abroad. eldest daughter?"

Guo Ye looked at the Queen in astonishment, why did he mention this suddenly.However, Princess Wencheng mentioned this to her, so it's not a big deal. Sooner or later, there will be a day when the paper will not be able to contain the fire.

Then he nodded and said yes, and then smiled mockingly: "This matter is actually a mess back then. Which is right and which is wrong has its own justice. It's all in the hearts of the people. It's just pity that my wife didn't know her since she was a child. Who are your biological parents? In fact, it’s pretty good now, you don’t need this kind of parents!!”

Empress Changsun naturally knew the twists and turns and the reason, and she couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: "The Marquis of Yizhou wants to say that, there are no wrong parents in the world, right? Well, you go out of the palace first, I wish you a happy birthday!" Yangzhou was able to do a good job in his post, and he fully demonstrated the ambition you just mentioned."

"Borrowing the good words from the empress!"

Guo Ye cupped his hands and bid farewell: "I'm leaving, it's windy outside, and the queen should return to the palace earlier."

After saying that, he turned around and left the gazebo, the same little Huangmen came forward to welcome him and led him out of Changchun Garden.

Empress Changsun looked at Guo Ye's back, but she had other thoughts in her heart, and murmured: "The eldest daughter of Duke Huo and the late Princess Pingyang? So, Chai Xiuxiu should be His Majesty's niece, and Chengqian and Tai I have to call Wu Xiuxiu my cousin, oh no, it should be Chai Xiuxiu. Then Guo Ye should be Chengqian's cousin-in-law, right? If you don't go around, you are still a relative. It seems that my aunt should also come out , to uphold justice for my poor niece, and talk to Huo Guogong Chai Shao..."

After saying that, Empress Changsun stood up slowly, walked out of the pavilion slowly.And she, who has always been dignified and virtuous, unexpectedly had a crooked smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chapter 732

After Guo Ye went out of the palace and returned to his home in Taipingfang, he locked himself in the study room, didn't even come out for dinner, and ordered his servants to send him into the study room.

Liu Zhenxuan saw that Master Hou was shutting the door and thought something was wrong. When he was nervous, he sneaked in through the crack of the door and found that Master Hou was holding a writing brush at his desk. He seemed to be writing quickly. There is nothing written on it.

It wasn't until the sky was dark and the moon and stars hung in the sky that Guo Ye came out of the study lazily, stretched his waist and yawned, and happened to see Liu Zhenxuan guarding outside.

Then, he asked, "You kid, why are you dawdling around here if you don't go to sleep?"

Liu Zhenxuan scratched his face and cheeks, and said with a smile: "The humble officer saw that you went into the study after you returned to the palace and didn't come out. Isn't that worried about you? What's the matter, did you get kicked by the emperor in the palace?"

Suihui means to be hit and frustrated.

Guo Ye spat angrily: "You kid just got kicked, let me tell you, tidy up these few days, and Benhou will take you down to Yangzhou on a crane in a few days, to see what is called "blossom like brocade" The land of the south of the Yangtze River."

Liu Zhenxuan was overjoyed when he heard the words. Now he and Guo Ye are addicted to going out of Chang'an, and they can benefit a lot every time they go out.This trip to Yangzhou will be another scene.

Overjoyed, he nodded and said yes.

Guo Ye patted him on the shoulder again, and encouraged him: "You have been with me for a while, and it's time to make progress. Captain Guo Yi of Zhechong's Mansion in Yangzhou, how about it?"

Captain Guo Yi of Zhechong Duwei's Mansion in Yangzhou?

Liu Zhenxuan was overjoyed for a moment, as we all know, Yangzhou is a high-class state capital, so naturally, the Zhechong Duwei Mansion in Yangzhou is also rising with the tide, and there are 500 soldiers in Guangfu, which is the largest establishment among the soldiers in the government.In the same way, the post of Yangzhou Zhechong Duwei is ranked fourth rank, while the deputy of the Duwei Mansion, Guo Yi Duwei is actually a fifth rank.

Now that I am a seventh-rank Captain Zhiguo, I have suddenly jumped to the fifth-rank Captain Guoyi. It is really a blessing, and I have climbed the ladder.

In an instant, Liu Zhenxuan was ecstatic, knelt down on his knees and shouted excitedly: "Master Hou, Lord Hou, this kindness is too great, what can you ask the humble official to say, what can you say?"

Looking at Liu Zhenxuan's appearance, Guo Ye obviously wasn't being hypocritical. He immediately stretched out his hands to help him up, and said, "Don't do this to Zhenxuan. From now on, you will be the greatest repayment if you follow this Lord. Of course, this Lord also I can't blame you. Well, let's go down, prepare well these days, I will take three hundred soldiers to Yangzhou."

"Here!"

The excitement on Liu Zhenxuan's face couldn't disappear for a while, and he probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

Just as he was about to turn around, Guo Ye suddenly called out again: "By the way, bring me Guan Jiujiu tomorrow. This sour scholar is thinking every day that he can ascend to heaven alone from me, so it seems that he should also make room for him." son."

After hearing this, Liu Zhenxuan immediately understood what Lord Hou meant, and he couldn't help but secretly congratulated Guan Jiujiu, a lucky guy, and then he said he understood, and then left slowly.
