Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Li Jing was very satisfied with Guo Ye's good manners and his mentality. After a little praise, he continued: "The reason why I want to warn you is not to show off your qualifications in front of you. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, you are not only the youngest and the youngest, but also the most respectable. Now that Hou Junji is dead, Tang Jian and others have also been dismissed and expelled from the court. As for Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Fang Xuan Age, old man and others will eventually grow old one day. Therefore, within ten years, you will be leading the officials in this temple. Today’s words should be to warn you, or to urge you ...In short, the more you go up, the more you will feel like walking on thin ice, the more you have to listen to the six directions, see all directions, and be more cautious. Remember?"

When Guo Ye heard the words "I will wait until one day I will grow old", his nose felt sore, and he bowed to Li Jing sincerely again: "Old man, boy, always remember what you said today."

"So good!"

Li Jing stroked his beard, his face was slightly startled, and he asked subconsciously: "Hey, the sound of fast horses trampling their hooves, the horse's hooves are powerful and powerful should be royal horses in the palace. Could it be that there is another imperial order to go out of the city?"

When Guo Ye heard the words, he looked outside the city, and there were dozens of fast horses leaving the city. All the horses had a bright yellow flag on their backs, and a golden dragon with its teeth and claws faintly embroidered on each flag.

Moreover, looking at the armor system, the horse rider should be the Qianniuwei in the palace.

Embroidered dragon and bright yellow banners... Qianniuwei... Dozens of fast horses...

Guo Ye looked at the several jars of unopened imperial wine tied to the fast horses, suddenly realized, looked at Li Jing and said, "It should be sent by His Majesty to deliver the imperial wine to Tuyuhun Road, uh...he Li Xiaogong, king of Jian County...Old man, you understand."

Li Jing suddenly remembered the cruel words His Majesty Li Er said in Wangbei Pavilion last night, and immediately understood, shook his head and sighed: "Hejian County King Li Xiaogong is also a talent, especially a leader who is rarely seen in the royal family, what a pity! So, Guo boy, people are afraid of going the wrong way, and if they take a wrong step, they will lose everything!"

Guo Ye responded: "I understand! By the way, old man, I want to discuss with you my brothers who are stationed in Tuyuhun City, and find a way to make them move and move. Now that you are in charge of the military department, it shouldn't be a big problem. ?”

Li Jing smiled and said: "It's okay to move, the key is where to move? There is no war on the border now, and there is a British army of [-] in Tubo, that's enough! Sometimes being a soldier is such a sad thing. I pray for the peace of the country and peace in the world, but also wish for the flames of war in the world, because only war is the only way for soldiers to win meritorious service and get promoted!"

Guo Ye looked rather disappointed, and said: "So, the British don't need reinforcements for the time being?"

"Hey, you greedy brat!"

Li Jing jokingly said: "Haven't all your subordinates at the Xichuan Protectorate's Mansion been requisitioned by Li Ji? As for your brothers in Tuyuhun Dao, please be patient for now. Look back and see where there is an opportunity, Let them earn some military merit and come back."

Guo Ye hummed and said, "That's the only way to go!"

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, an indecent voice came from the corner of the stairs in the tower, and Eunuch Shun, with a dust whisk in his waist, rushed towards the two of them sweating profusely.

Running close to him, Eunuch Shun took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his sweat, and hurriedly shouted: "My lords, I have found you, it's really easy for servants to find you. I didn't expect the two lords to be so leisurely and carefree. Watching the wind from the top of the city."

Lookout?

This is not a good word in later generations, Guo Ye immediately rolled his eyes, and joked angrily: "Eunuch Shun, is it because your old sow is about to give birth? But Li Weigong and I don't know how to deliver babies! "

Now the relationship between Guo Ye and Shun Eunuch is not worth a joke.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Shun stomped his feet with a pale face and said angrily: "What time is it, Guo Jungong, are you still in the mood to joke here? The emperor wants the servants to quickly find two of them to enter the palace to discuss important matters. I heard that something important happened Mile..."

something big?

Guo Ye and Li Jing met each other's eyes, they both looked at each other in a daze, they couldn't think of what big things could happen right now.

Chapter 1032 South, South

Concealing the doubts and bewilderment in their hearts, Guo Ye and Li Jing went down the tower with Eunuch Shun, and hurried to the palace to face the saint.

After entering the palace, Eunuch Shun did not take them to the Wangbei Pavilion where His Majesty Li Er usually went to court to deal with government affairs and review memorials, but took them directly into the Ganlu Palace.

After entering the Palace of Ganlu, Guo Ye did not find Empress Changsun, only His Majesty Li Er was sitting there with a memorial in his hand, his face was as sinking as water, no sadness or joy could be seen.

The Empress Changsun was not here, and Guo Ye understood very well. Her own son was imprisoned for another misfortune, and her elder brother participated in the rebellion, was confiscated and dismissed as a commoner. He was never used and expelled from Chang'an.If Empress Changsun could still sit beside His Majesty Li Er calmly and calmly at this time, then Guo Ye really felt that this woman had reached a perfect state of calm.

The queen is also a woman, and the eldest grandson Wugou, who is known as a virtuous queen, is no exception. At least Guo Ye thinks that her heart is not strong enough to be so terrifying.

"Guo Qing and Li Qing are here?"

His Majesty Li Er woke up from the meditation, waved to Dong Shun to signal him to go out, then raised the memorial tightly held in his hand, and said solemnly: "Yu Shinan sent someone from the south to send an urgent memorial for eight hundred miles. You all have a look!"

As he said that, Li Jing hurried forward to take the memorial from His Majesty Li Er, spread it out and read it.

After looking at it, Li Jing couldn't help but look stagnant, his trembling hands froze for a long time but he didn't calm down, under the trembling hands, even his entire shoulders were trembling.

Guo Ye, who was standing not far behind Li Jing, was very curious about what happened to make Li Jing, a hero who has fought in the South and North for decades, lose his position so much.

This is too unlearnable, right?Even if the sky is falling, it doesn't mean that Li Jing will lose his composure like this, right?

Immediately, he hurried forward to Li Jing's side, and his eyes fell on the unclosed memorial in Li Jing's hand.

After seeing it, Guo Ye's face suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "These bastards who killed thousands of knives should have led the army to suppress them in the first place, otherwise how could there be such a disaster today?"

something went wrong

Something really happened!

Yu Shinan mentioned in the memorial that a month ago there was a cult in Lingnan that spread rumors among the people to confuse the public, which eventually led to riots among cult believers and believers.In just one night, under the riots of the cult members, more than a thousand soldiers of the Lingnan Prefecture were all killed by the crazy cult members. The huge Lingnan Prefecture declared its fall and was completely occupied by the cult.

The so-called cult consists of three sects: Manichaeism, Taiping Dao, and Bailian Society, collectively referred to as the White Lotus Sect.The White Lotus Sect does not respect the laws of the king, the court and the government. It not only incites the people and believers to rebel and riot, but also attracts the believers and the strong members of the believers to form the Dharma Guardian Army.

After the White Lotus Sect occupied Lingnan Mansion, they also instigated riots in several state capitals around Lingnan Mansion at the same time, and occupied these state capitals in the same way.

And the Dharma Guardian Army has also expanded from the initial tens of thousands of people to a full 20 people.

That's not all, Yu Shinan added the latest situation in the memorial, these white lotus sect's Dharma protectors used the Lingnan area as their base camp, and then went south to rebel all the way, attacking cities whenever they saw cities, smashing and looting things when they saw people, and attracting people whenever they saw people. He joined the White Lotus Sect, and if the other party refused to follow, he would be shot to death.

Hundreds of thousands of Dharma protectors of the White Lotus Sect drove south all the way, Fujian, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road and other places fell into the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect one after another. Many cities were looted by the White Lotus Sect overnight. All the people who did not join the White Lotus Sect were slaughtered and became a complete ghost town.

……

……

"Bastards! The capital of these evil sect bandits who are disturbing the hearts of the people are beasts. You should punish their nine clans, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Jing's tears had already wet the front of his clothes, his eyes were cloudy from crying, and he choked up and shouted at His Majesty Li Er.

Guo Ye also gritted his teeth and presented the memorial in Li Jing's hand back to His Majesty Li Er, and then said bitterly: "Your Majesty, we can't just sit back and watch them breed and spread. We must put down the White Lotus Sect rebellion as soon as possible and wipe out these cult leaders. Otherwise, the country will It will destroy the country, and even endanger the foundation of Datang."

However, His Majesty Li Er was not as excited as Guo Ye and Li Jing. On the contrary, he was very calm, gently pressed the memorial under his hands, and said lightly: "Why do mere cults have such great strength? What do you think?" Have you been?"

After Li Jing calmed down for a while, he asked in surprise, "Could it be that there is someone behind the White Lotus Cult behind the scenes?"

"Of course!"

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "The people behind the scenes are the aristocratic families of the Guanlong family in the south. Hehe, this time, I will definitely not tolerate them!"

Li Jing flicked his sleeves fiercely, and cursed: "It's them? Damn, hate! What the hell are they trying to do?"

"It's easy!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "They don't just want the Lingnan and Guangnan areas to fall into chaos, they want the entire south to be in chaos. In this way, they have the capital to sit down and negotiate with me. Do you really think that the Supreme Emperor and the others dared to rely on Li Xiaogong and Did Hou Jun gather his troops and launch a coup while I was going to the south of the Yangtze River? They wanted to respond to each other from the north to the south, so that I would have no way out!"

Guo Ye suddenly remembered that His Majesty Li Er called him into the palace late at night, as if he had mentioned that he was playing a big game of chess, a game that could change the world pattern. Could it be that His Majesty Li Er had anticipated the crisis in the south long ago? Will the Long Family secretly support the White Lotus Sect riot?
