Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

If Guo Ye hadn't sent someone to help, the Zhao Mansion would have been deserted and desolate, maybe even Zhao Feixuan's funeral would have become a big problem.

After finishing Zhao Feixuan's funeral, Guo Ye asked Zhang Jiujin to escort Huiniang and Yueer away from Chang'an with twenty soldiers, and headed for their hometown in Longxi, central Sichuan.

On the day Huiniang was sent away, Xiuxiu also returned home from Duke Huo's mansion, and the young couple finally became members of the regiment after parting for a while.

Huo Guogong Chai Shao, who had experienced this unjust prison, suddenly became tired of the flattery and deceit of the officialdom, so he simply asked His Majesty Li Er for a long vacation on the grounds of maintaining his health, and lived an ordinary life.

As for Wu Maocai, the cheap father-in-law, he is also used to life in Chang'an now, and he is very comfortable staying in Duke Huo's mansion.As for the property in Longxi, Wu Maocai was also very generous and gave it to Guo Ye's other father-in-law, the former Yizhou Zhechong Captain Kang Yueshan.

In his eyes, being in Chang'an with his daughter Xiuxiu is holding the big gold mine, spending his life in Huo Guogong's mansion, and that is the real climbing to the top.

After Guo Ye heard this, he just smiled and didn't make any comments, because Wu Maocai's temper, he still can't understand?Now that he entered Huo Guogong's mansion and lived like a fish in water, even if he drove him away with a whip, he would not leave.

Although Guo Ye's back injury hasn't healed yet, as long as he doesn't do strenuous exercise, it won't affect his normal life. Simple things like going for a walk are barely okay.

On this day, he and Xiuxiu were resting in a pavilion in the garden. When the young couple were lamenting about the recent events, Wang Bajin, who was not in charge of escorting Huiniang at the Hou Mansion, suddenly broke in. He yelled loudly: "Master Hou, what, someone from the palace delivered the decree, saying that the emperor let you enter the palace."

Guo Ye nodded his head to show he knew.

On the contrary, it was Xiuxiu who suddenly held Guo Ye's hand nervously, and said with some concern, "Husband, Your Majesty called you into the palace this time..."

"Xiuxiu, don't worry!"

Guo Ye patted her little hand lightly. He knew what Xiuxiu was worried about. Last time, he was planted and sent to the prison of Dali Temple. Xiu is still terrified when thinking about it.

This time, His Majesty Li Er suddenly called Guo Ye into the palace again, Xiuxiu was nervous and worried, which was only natural.

Guo Ye smiled and said: "This time entering the palace is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it should be a good thing."

Xiuxiu said suspiciously: "You are recuperating in the mansion recently, what good can His Majesty do for you?"

"Well, my lady, don't think so much."

Guo Ye said in a low voice: "Cui Henian died, Qinghe Cui family fell, I will remember the first merit. His Majesty still owes me a reward, and this time he entered the palace to reward his meritorious deeds. Otherwise, who will work for His Majesty in the future?" ah?"

After finishing speaking, he held up Xiuxiu's small face, squeaked, kissed her forehead lightly, and said with a smile: "You just wait, your husband will at least earn another title when he enters the palace this time." .Ha ha……"

"Ah, you dead man, there are outsiders here!"

Xiuxiu's cheeks turned red in an instant, as if she was intoxicated after drinking strong alcohol, she glared at Guo Ye angrily, then turned around and fled in embarrassment.

At this time, Guo Ye realized that there was a fool like Wang Bajin beside him.

Wang Bajin stood there in a daze, laughing, and said with a chuckle, "Well, Lord Hou, I didn't see anything, so I'll just tell Princess Pingyang that I really didn't see anything."

"Bah, don't be foolish!"

Guo Ye scolded Wang Bajin with a smile, then pointed to the robe on his body, and said, "Bajin, let's go, first change my clothes for Lord Hou, and put on the official uniform before we enter the palace. Rewards, naturally the benefits of you monkeys cannot be short."

"Yes, yes."

Wang Bajin cheered and jumped up, hurried forward to support Guo Ye, and said affectionately: "Master Hou, you are injured, slow down, slow down, I will support you..."

Chapter 924

The sun is just right today, and there are frequent gusts of breeze. It is rare that there is such a good spring time for enjoying flowers and leisurely in midsummer.

Guo Ye came into the palace and was led down to the imperial garden by his servants. He saw His Majesty Li Er sitting in a stone pavilion, looking at a piece of soft grass with a smile in his eyes.

On the grass, Empress Changsun was sitting on the ground, hugging a child with a smile on her face, and several palace nuns were also looking after a little princess learning to walk on the grassy grass.

The little princess faltered, Lang Lang would fall on the soft grass after taking three or two steps, but she was so strong that she didn't cry or fuss when she got up, walked, and fell again.

Several nuns were worried, but Empress Changsun was giggling frequently, calling out "Douer, come on" and other words from time to time.

Guo Ye has some impressions of this little princess who is learning to walk. She seems to be the princess who peed all over her body last year. She didn't expect to grow so fast. She was not weaned at the beginning, but now she has begun to learn to walk.

As for the little prince held by Empress Changsun, there is no doubt that it was with Guo Ye's indirect help that he was born smoothly, and now he is only a few months old.

Guo Ye vaguely remembered that some time ago, this little prince was conferred the title of King Jin by His Majesty Li Er, and became the youngest prince among the Tang royal family.

According to the historical trajectory, in the future, His Royal Highness King Jin will have the last laugh and take over the heir of the Great Tang Empire—Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Guo Ye looked at the family happiness of His Majesty Li Er's family from a distance, and suddenly yearned for it. He thought it was time to go back to his hometown in central Sichuan to see his little Guo Xiang.

His Majesty Li Er in the pavilion had already spotted Guo Ye, so he waved and shouted from afar: "Guo Qing, come, come, come here!"

Guo Ye let out a cry, and hurried forward. When he passed by Empress Changsun, who was holding the child, he paused for a moment, and nodded slightly in greeting.

Ever since the quarrel with Changsun Wuji became more and more tense, Guo Ye deliberately avoided the Empress Changsun every time he entered the palace, even though he knew that the Empress Changsun was a rare empress. Can't blame her at all.But Guo Ye always felt that she was always a brother and sister, and there was always an inexplicable strangeness when meeting her again.

Empress Changsun seemed to have guessed Guo Ye's embarrassment, she nodded her head in understanding, and then teased the pheasant slave and Princess Dou'er.

After Guo Ye came into the pavilion to talk about things, Empress Changsun hugged King Jin's pheasant slave, and asked several nuns to leave the Imperial Garden with Princess Dou'er and return to the Palace of Manna.

In the pavilion, Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I came at an untimely time and disturbed your family's family happiness."

His Majesty Li Er was generous, he waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "It's not my fault, I called Guo Qing into the palace myself. How can family affairs be more important than state affairs? Guo Qing, don't take it to heart. Come on, Guo Qing Please sit down!"

Guo Ye hummed and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, your family affairs are naturally state affairs, and they are all the same, hehe."

"Ha ha……"

His Majesty Li Er clapped his hands and smiled, and said cheerfully: "Guo Qing can talk, I love to listen."

Guo Ye could tell that His Majesty Li Er was in a very good mood today, and he was happier than forcing the Qinghe Cui family to compromise and weakening the power of the Guanlong family.

Guo Ye secretly thought, looking at this red complexion, could it be that His Majesty Li Er has encountered some happy event these two days?

Just as he was about to speak, His Majesty Li Er pointed to the melons and fruits on the table and said, "Guo Qing, don't worry, come, let's eat some seasonal melons and fruits first. Here are the snowmelons sent by Gaochang Kingdom as a tribute. Tsk tsk, the taste is as sweet as honey, with a strange fragrance, and it is by no means a strange melon and fruit that I can only have in the Central Plains. You should try something new."

As he spoke, he personally picked up a slice and handed it to Guo Ye, who was flattered and took a bite of it.

Guo Ye had already noticed the snowmelon on the stone table in the pavilion before he ate it. Isn’t this the Hami melon, a specialty of Xinjiang in later generations?

While eating, he thought about it carefully, Chang'an is so far away from Gaochang Kingdom, and the transportation is so inconvenient, it is a blessing to be able to eat cantaloupe.

Could it be that His Majesty Li Er's good mood today originated from Gaochang Kingdom?

At this moment, Eunuch Shun's voice came from the imperial garden outside the pavilion: "Your Majesty, Minister Zuo Servant She Yu Shinan, and King Jiangxia Li Daozong entered the palace by order, and they are all waiting outside the imperial garden."

His Majesty Li Er chuckled, and said cheerfully, "It's not too early and not too late, and these two people happened to come together. Dong Shun, let's announce that the two of them come here to see me."

After Eunuch Shun responded, His Majesty Li Er did not forget to joke with Guo Ye: "It is better to be alone than to be happy together. If they come a little later, this snowmelon will be wiped out by Guo Qing." .”

Guo Ye smiled awkwardly, only to realize that he had inadvertently ate a large plate of cantaloupe.

He thought about Shun Gonggong's words just now, and after thinking about it, it turned out that His Majesty Li Er not only summoned himself, but also announced Teacher Yu and Li Daozong.
