Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye suddenly thought that before he came to Chang'an, Chen Kang, the Secretary of the Imperial College, sent someone to Yangzhou to deliver a message, saying that it was about Li Gang's official appointment and the vacancy of the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

He knew that as soon as Li Gang stepped back, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at this position.He knew very well in his heart that his qualifications were too shallow, even if he tried hard to win, no matter how hard Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda tried to help, His Majesty Li Er would not let him fulfill Li Gang's vacancy as he wished.

Moreover, Changsun Wuji and his group's objections will definitely be louder and louder, which will also prompt His Majesty Li Er to veto his qualification to fill Li Gang's vacancy.

However, if Li Jing, the hero of the Great Tang army, stood in the court hall to support himself and support himself in his position...

Maybe, things might really turn around.

All of a sudden, he shouted excitedly: "Old General, you really think of a way to transfer me back to Chang'an to join the Ministry of Rites. Could it be that you are sure that I will be able to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and serve as Minister of the Ministry of Rites?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Li Jing suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he laughed until tears almost came out of his eyes, and he stopped laughing.

Then he glanced at Guo Ye contemptuously, and jokingly said, "I said you have a big heart, how old are you this year? As far as I know, you are only 22 years old, right? Tsk tsk, 22 years old, you actually want to become one of the six ministers One, how can you embarrass the gray-haired ministers of the court?"

"Cut, it's rare and strange." Guo Ye heard the clues from Li Jing's expression and words. Obviously, he would be wrong, but he was not shy at all. Prime Minister, so what about my Guo Ye 22 and six books? Aspiring to be old, look at you, ignorant and ignorant!"

When Guo Ye said this, Li Jing froze immediately, it really happened.

But at this time and at that time, it was because Chu State was a small country at that time, and talents were rare.But now that the Tang Dynasty is full of civil and military talents, and the current sage is a generation of Ming emperors and lords, there is no shortage of Guo Ye to manage the Ministry of Rites.

What's more, if the emperor does not promote and appoint the senior and talented veterans in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but instead uses a fledgling yellow-haired boy, isn't this the way to control the subordinates?In the end, he broke the hearts of a group of veterans.

Li Jing knew this in his heart, and Guo Ye was also very clear about it.

The most important point is that although Li Jing has been fighting abroad for many years and has not been in the court for a long time, he is very clear about the situation in the court.

Who knows that Changsun Wuji's party and Yu Shinan's party are fighting fiercely now, and Changsun Wuji has a great feud with Guo Ye, and although he does not belong to any camp and is out of the world, he has always had friendship with Changsun Wuji After all, they had advanced and retreated together under King Qin's tent back then, and also led the army in battle together.

And he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji has not been idle recently, and he is strongly recommending Cui Henian of the Qinghe Cui family to be the Minister of Rites in front of the emperor.

If I recommend Guo Ye at this time to take up the unrealistic post of Minister of Rites, wouldn't I be playing against Changsun Wuji?

Although he didn't want to get too close to Changsun Wuji, he also didn't want to have a bad relationship with Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, Changsun Wuji had repeatedly proposed marriage for his son before, but he had already refused, so why bother to perfunctory Changsun Wuji?

Immediately, he waved his hand resolutely and said: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, you boy, don't worry about it. If you want to become a minister of six books before the age of 30, unless the sun comes out from the west. In official life, the older you are, the more popular you are. It is always based on seniority. Because old age means stability and precipitation. Do you understand?"

Guo Ye nodded perfunctorily, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart, and said in disapproval, that's not necessarily the case, my buddy has been bouncing all the way, hasn't he also been appointed as the governor in less than a few years?

Seeing that Guo Ye's attitude was acceptable, Li Jing secretly praised him, and then said: "Don't worry, the old man has never spoken well of anyone in front of His Majesty. I will make an exception for you this time, and I will definitely not lose you. Although I am the Minister of Rites It’s unrealistic, but the position of Minister of Rites is more than enough. How about it? Being transferred back to Chang’an as Minister of Rites, isn’t it an insult to your identity? Compared with your Yangzhou Governor, is it considered a promotion?”

Minister of Rites?

The second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites is only subordinate to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has already got the ticket to the early court, so he can play a duet in front of the emperor above the hall.

In this way, it is indeed a high promotion!

However, he was not overjoyed, but asked: "Old General, there are also left and right servants in the Ministry of Rites, the left is the big, and the right is the young. It would be meaningless to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites."

"Hmph, you're getting an inch!"

Li Jing glared at Guo Ye in dissatisfaction again, and then scolded: "Do you think it's rare for the old man to speak in front of the emperor, so that you will condescend to be the right servant?"

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites?

The genuine second-in-command in the Ministry of Rites!

It's done!

Guo Ye finally beamed with joy, and asked with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Old general, you understand the righteousness! Since you treat the boy so kindly, as the saying goes, don't forget the well digger when you drink water, and win the favor of others for thousands of years, hehe, The boy should reciprocate with love. Well, old general, tell me, what is there for the boy to do."

After receiving the real benefits and the promise of Li Jing's thousand gold, Guo Ye brought up the old matter again and asked about the trust that Li Jing mentioned before.

Just as Guo Ye expected, he and Li Jing hadn't gotten close to that level yet, and Li Jing couldn't appreciate the degree of obsession with him, so he wouldn't give him such a big benefit for no reason.

To put it bluntly, courtesies must be expected from others.

Li Jing's laying out so many things is nothing more than what he said before.

Hearing Guo Ye's question, Li Jing smiled and said: "Okay, it's all about this, and the old man will stop beating around the bush. The matter of entrusting you is still about Nuan Nuan."

Guo Ye nodded slightly, still going around this topic.But he didn't make a sound, but continued to listen to Li Jing's slow talk.

Li Jing paused for a moment, and said: "Guo Ye, old man, since you were able to successfully rescue Shu King Li Ke and other missionaries in Tubo, you know that you definitely have a mysterious army in your hands, right?"

"what?"

Suddenly, a chill rose from the deepest part of Guo Ye's heart, and his whole body tensed up, immediately showing an unprecedented state of tension.

"Haha, don't use people in the world to fool this old man, how can this old man be so easy to fool? Guo Ye, right?"

"Old General, what do you want to do?"

Suddenly, Guo Ye's voice became extraordinarily cold, his expression was no longer as cynical as before, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.

Asking about Li Jing's space, Guo Ye clenched his fists tightly without being noticed, adjusted his standing posture secretly, leaned forward slightly, and looked like a hungry tiger jumping on a sheep, looking like he would kill with one blow.

Chapter 844

Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Jing found something wrong with Guo Ye when he raised his eyes, but he didn't think so, instead he sat down in his seat generously and said with a light smile: "Haha, Guo boy, don't be nervous. You How can you and I talk if we keep being so tense?"

Hearing Li Jing's relaxed words, Guo Ye didn't seem to have any hostility, but he didn't let go of his guard. On the contrary, he still stared at Li Jing, and lowered his voice and shouted: "Old General, what do you want to do?"

At this time, Guo Ye was just like the wild wolf hunting alone on the grassland. His whole body was on alert, full of hostility, and no one could trust him.

Because Li Jing discovered the existence of Miji's army.Guo Ye has kept this secret deep in his heart since he left Xichuan, and he is absolutely unwilling to share this secret with anyone who is not his confidant.

Moreover, Guo Ye has always relied on Miji and Miji's special forces as a surprise soldier, and has always regarded it as a trump card in his hand, and even a hole card.

Now, this secret is known by Li Jing, and this hole card is revealed by Li Jing, how can Guo Ye not be nervous?

In case, Li Jing told Changsun Wuji and others this secret, in case it got into the ears of His Majesty Li Er...

The consequences could be disastrous!

"Guo Ye!!"

Li Jing suddenly shouted, and reminded solemnly: "What are you worried about? If the old man wants to tell others your secret, if you want to spread the existence of this mysterious army to the ears of the emperor, you can still do this now." An Sheng? Hmph, stop thinking about it, old man, you can definitely trust me. Otherwise, this old man wouldn't ask about this mysterious army in front of you."

Some powerful words reached Guo Ye's ears, but they didn't dispel the boy's suspicion and suspicion. He still stood motionless in the same posture, staring at Li Jing with the same eyes, as if a tiger would strike at any moment.He still used the same sentence and asked, "Old General, what do you want to do?"

Damn it, Li Jing secretly let out a sigh of bad luck, this kid is so paranoid and terrifying, staring straight at him like a lunatic.

That's all, just pretend that I'm afraid of you, madman!

Immediately, Li Jing raised his hands and begged for forgiveness: "Okay, old man, tell the truth, I want to borrow the mysterious army in your hand, and you must not let His Majesty know about it. Do you understand now? Didn't mean to hurt you?"
