Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Chang'an City, South Gate.

Guo Ye used to go out of Chang'an several times, entering by the east gate and exiting by the south gate.Therefore, every time Guoye passes through the South Gate, there will often be a bit of sadness.

But when he went to the South Gate today, his feelings were different, he always felt a little urgent.

He desperately hoped that this girl, Yunshang, would leave quickly, just like sending off the plague god, the sooner and faster she left, the better.

Because, he was really fed up with the flirtatiousness of this bitch who had nothing to do to make trouble.

At this time, Yunshang, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain, leaned out half of her body, and rushed to Guo Ye, who was riding on the horse, with a coquettish smile: "It's really flattering that the Marquis of Yizhou actually sent his concubine off in person. Why? Could it be that Yi Zhou Hou is reluctant to leave my slave's family?"

Guo Ye automatically ignored the woman's fuss, and secretly spat, fart, I wish you could go back to Tibet now.

Immediately, he curled his lips and hummed: "Don't talk about me, Yunshang, if I don't come today, you will leave at ease? Hehe, if my guess is right, you should dawdle at the south gate for a while Right? Here... Here you go!"

As he said that, Guo Ye threw something out with a wave of his hand, and threw it directly into Yunshang's arms.

Yun Chang took a closer look and found that it was a high-quality jade pendant. The jade pendant was in the shape of a fish, and the whole body was clear, plump and round without any mottled impurities.

Yun Shang held this fish-shaped jade pendant in her hand, and she could hold it tightly, and couldn't help asking: "Is this supposed to be taken from Yang Yong? When I was in Tubo, I saw him incarnate as the Tubo national teacher. Wear it on your body."

Guo Ye hummed, and said, "That's right, if you don't pick this fish-shaped jade pendant for you, will you go back to Tubo with peace of mind? I remember that Yu Wenqian wanted you to bring back Yang Yong's head to Luoxie City, Tubo. Now that you haven't got his head, I don't think you will honestly go back to Tubo. Hmph, you have to stay in Chang'an City for a few more days to toss Yang Yong's head, right?"

"Hehe." Yun Shang smiled coquettishly, and said, "The one who knows me is the Marquis of Yizhou! If Yang Yong's head had not been brought back to Tubo, Mrs. Qian would not have believed that the concubine had completed the task. With this A piece of jade pendant, I think I can report back to my wife. The Marquis of Yizhou has really done my concubine a great favor, and I have caused you trouble."

Guo Ye cursed inwardly, saying beautiful words, you don't have much trouble with me?

But he still forced a smile and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands."

Yun Shang asked suddenly: "Didn't you say that Yang Yong's body had already been disposed of by the people in the palace? This jade pendant should have been plundered by a greedy eunuch and eunuch? Tsk tsk, the Marquis of Yizhou really has the ability , I was able to find it back. I really admire it."

Guo Ye shrugged and said, "What's the difficulty? Money can pass through ghosts and gods. I can still find a piece of jade pendant in the hands of those eunuchs in the palace."

This matter was actually not difficult for him, he just spent 3000 taels of silver to manage Dong Shunshun's father-in-law, and let Dong Shun retrieve the jade pendant from the eunuch who carried Yang Yong's body that day.

This matter is difficult for outsiders, but for Dong Shun, it is easy to do.

Seeing Yun Shang carefully put the jade pendant into the animal skin pouch hanging around his waist, Guo Ye knew that this woman had got what she wanted, so she should be able to return to Tibet with peace of mind.

Immediately, he sat on the horse condescendingly and cupped his hands at Yunshang: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go too. Miss Yunshang, have a good journey."

Yunshang smiled and teased, "Yizhouhou, are you in such a hurry to drive away from my slave's house? You really have no conscience. I think I was in Tuyuhun..."

Nima, come again!

Guo Ye immediately frowned when he heard the words, and said in displeasure, "Yunshang, you should understand the principle of going too far and going too far, right? In order to kill Yang Yong, I have provoked many troubles, and the things are completely out of our control. Expected. Hehe, a crown prince was abolished, a Wei king was demoted, Yunshang, I think Changsun Wuji and others can't wait to find out the culprit behind the scenes and split the car to vent their anger? Let me tell you, if you If Chang’an continues to stir up trouble, he will definitely set himself on fire. At that time, they will definitely not do anything to me, as for you..."

"Okay, okay." Yun Chang's face was obviously a bit jealous, his eyes dodged a few times in a panic, and then he pretended to be angry, "I was just joking with you. Okay, it's getting late , It’s time for the concubine to leave. Marquis of Yizhou, goodbye!”

After finishing speaking, she retracted the half of her body that was protruding from the curtain of the carriage back into the carriage, and then murmured a few words in Tubo dialect, and the carriage drove slowly, and exited the south gate.

Seeing the Tubo Mission leaving slowly, Guo Ye complained impatiently, "Goodbye? Hmph, never see you again!"

Afterwards, he turned his horse's head and slowly approached Zhu Hongyu and others who were stationed in the distance.

Seeing that the Tubo mission had successfully left the south gate, and seeing Guo Ye returning on horseback, Zhu Hongyu, who was the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites, sighed secretly, and sighed, alas, these Tubo plague gods have finally left, thanks to Guo Shilang Ah, he still has the ability, and there is no one who is worthy of his fame. It really is not a waste of fame.

Although he didn't know how Guo Ye made the Tubo envoy leave Chang'an obediently, he knew that this matter was by no means that simple.

Thinking of serving under Guo Ye in the future, Zhu Hongyu whispered to the two Yuanwailang beside him: "In the future, we will work under Guo Shilang's errands, and we are really blessed to have such a good boss who is willing to solve problems for his subordinates." .”

The two Yuanwailang also showed joy on their faces, approving and echoing:

"That's right, if we can't solve the big trouble of the Tubo female envoy this time, I'll be waiting for Wushamao!"

"From now on, we must follow Guo Shilang's lead!"

"Guo Shilang is here!"

Zhu Hongyu made a loud noise, cupped his hands at Guo Ye and said: "Today's matter is entirely due to Guo Shilang, otherwise the Tubo envoys don't know how long it will take before they are willing to leave. Guo Shilang, it's still early, it's better to let the subordinates How about going to Dongshi to hold a banquet in honor of your lord and express your affection?"

Guo Ye knew that he had successfully sent Yunshang and his party away, and he had won the hearts of Zhu Hongyu and others.This can be regarded as an unintentional move.

But he didn't agree to Zhu Hongyu's banquet, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "You guys go, just go to the Haitian Feast Restaurant in Xishi, and tell the shopkeeper Huang Ao that all expenses will be charged to my account."

Zhu Hongyu asked: "Aren't your servants going?"

Guo Ye smiled and said: "I have to go back to the Ministry of Rites to collect the bill first, so I won't go with you. Another day, another day, I will invite you to my house. My wife's frying skills are also outstanding."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the horsewhip and lightly twitched the horse's buttocks, then galloped towards the imperial city, and hurriedly returned to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

The three of Zhu Hongyu watched Guo Ye ride his horse away, and a member of the staff asked with a puzzled face, "Master Zhu, did you hear me right? Shilang Guo just said that he would go back to the Ministry of Rites to collect the bill. What's going on?"

Zhu Hongyu had an inexplicable smile on his face, and said: "Don't you understand? Sir Minister Cui had a bet with Cui Shangshu before, and today he sent the Tubo envoy away, so the bet was naturally completed. He said so Going back in a hurry, I want to make a bet with Cui Shangshu

what! ”

"Oh I got it!"

"Tsk tsk, it seems that Cui Shangshu really won't be able to step down this time, and we will really have fun watching it in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites."

The two Yuanwailang smiled wryly.

Zhu Hongyu said with a smile: "This is a fight between gods and gods, and it's none of our business. In the future, if you listen to Guo Shilang more, you will definitely not suffer. Let's go to the West Market, and go to the Haitian Feast Restaurant that Guo Shilang said .”

"while walking……"

"Master Zhu, please first, Yu...drive..."

Soon, the three of them turned their horses around one after another, and galloped towards the direction of Xishi with the sound of horseshoes.

……

……

The imperial city, the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Guo Ye hurried into the Yamen, and went straight to the private courtyard where Cui Shangshu worked.

Walking like flying, just about to enter the gate of the small courtyard, but was blocked by someone from inside. I saw that the person coming out of the small courtyard was not Shang Shu Cui Henian, but Zhao Feixuan, the servant on the right.

Zhao Feixuan stretched out his hand to stop Guo Ye, and said, "Marquis of Yizhou, please stop!"

Guo Ye was blocked by Zhao Feixuan, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Zhao Feixuan, so he couldn't help but frowned and said: "Master Zhao, why stop me?"

Zhao Feixuan said: "Master Shangshu is ill today, it is inconvenient to see visitors, so I specially asked Zhao to stop visitors at the gate of the courtyard for him."

Feeling sick and inconvenient to meet guests?
