Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

In the early morning of the next day, I thought I could sleep until the sun was up, but I didn't expect someone to disturb my dream.

The servants came to report that the Fusang man had come again.

Guo Ye smiled knowingly when he heard the words, then got up and washed slowly, dawdled for a while, and then went to the living room to meet guests.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw someone coming, it was Yagyu Koryo, but the crown prince, His Highness Cao Bi, did not appear.

Regarding Cao Bi not appearing, Guo Ye had expected it last night.Thinking about it, this guy was so stimulated by Miss You Ji last night, and his psychological gap suddenly fell from heaven to hell. Guo Ye couldn't think that he could get up to his own county mansion this early in the morning. possible.Otherwise, His Highness Cao Bi is too heartless.

Yagyu Kyoyoshi looked up and saw Guo Ye entered the living room, he clattered his intentions like pouring beans.

Sure enough, this guy readily agreed to Guo Ye's entrustment when he came this time, and never mentioned the matter that His Highness Cao Bi was going to marry You Ji back to Fusang, as if he had selectively lost his memory about this matter.

Although Guo Ye was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't intend to talk about this matter on the surface, so let's accept it as soon as it's good, why bother to cause trouble again?

Therefore, he finally reached an agreement with Yagyu Kyoyoshi, and ordered someone to send him out of the county government.

At the same time, he also ordered the accountant to send 1000 taels of silver to Caobi at the Tongrenfang Inn. Although 1000 taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for a visiting group of 1000 people, it can more or less relieve them temporarily. Line expenses.

100 taels, of course I can't give it away, after all, now that everyone has reached an agreement, it would be unreasonable to send off a beggar.

But if it's higher than 1000 taels, 1 to [-] is definitely not Guo Ye's style of doing things. He doesn't want to take advantage of the little devil for nothing and be the one who is taken advantage of.

Naturally, His Majesty Li Er will come to take care of such things as being taken advantage of.

Immediately, he asked his servants to prepare the court clothes for him to enter the palace. After tidying up his appearance and attire, he took a carriage and entered the palace to meet the saint.

……

……

After entering the palace, he explained the purpose of his visit, and the servant of the little yellow gate in the palace who was in charge of welcoming him knew very well that the current Duke Guo was in power, and he was a celebrity in front of the emperor.Naturally, he didn't dare to make things difficult for Guo Ye, so he led him into the palace to find His Majesty Li Er without saying a word.

Guo Ye originally thought that His Majesty Li Er would be handling government affairs in Wangbei Pavilion at this time, because at this point he was about to go to court, and it was His Majesty Li Er's habit to nest in Wangbei Pavilion after the court.

But who would have thought that Xiao Huangmen would bring him to Ganlu Palace.

His Majesty Li Er, the son of affection, went back to Empress Changsun after the imperial court today.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Ganlu Hall, Xiao Huangmen reported his intention to Empress Changsun's maid, and then put Guo Ye here, and left on his own.

After a while, the maid went and came back, saying that the Holy Majesty summoned the Duke of Pingyang County to see him.

The number of times Guo Ye came to Ganlu Palace was not less than ten times, so he had a good impression of this court lady.But today this maid is actually not just this maid, he found that all the maids and eunuchs he saw outside the Ganlu Palace were a little different from usual, their expressions were very different.

In the past, these people had tense faces or expressions that were neither salty nor dull.

But today was different, he stood at the entrance of the hall for a while, and suddenly noticed that everyone's face was full of joy and smiles.

It's really strange, what kind of thing is this?

Enduring doubts, he followed the court lady into the Ganlu Palace.

Walking in the corridors of the hall, he often met a bunch of court ladies and eunuchs. Basically, they all had smiles on their faces, and along the way, apart from cleaning up the hall, these people did nothing. They were busy with the same thing, that is, putting on lanterns and festoons, and red cloth and silk were hung in every conspicuous place, as if they were celebrating something.

Guo Ye became more and more curious. The Ganlu Palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the red and green decorations must be to celebrate the empress.But the empress seems to have given birth to the prince a long time ago, and now that she is the lord of the six palaces, it is impossible to celebrate because of being granted a promotion by His Majesty Li Er?

Guo Ye was just about to open his mouth to ask the maid who led the way, but before he could open his mouth, the maid suddenly stopped and replied politely: "Young Lord, the emperor and the queen are talking about themselves in the palace, it is inconvenient for slaves to disturb you. Just push open the door of the hall and you can go in. The emperor said that the Duke of Pingyang County does not need to report to see him, he can go straight in."

After finishing speaking, the court lady turned back and left in a hurry, not giving Guo Ye a chance to ask questions.

Guo Ye shook his head and thought to himself, that's all, when he sees Empress Changsun, he might know what's going on.

squeak~~

Guo Ye pushed the door and entered, and saw His Majesty Li Er, who had not had time to change out of his dragon robe, sitting there drinking tea with the empress, talking and laughing, very happy.

The laughter of the two stopped abruptly with Guo Ye's push of the door, and they both turned their heads and looked at Guo Ye.

Guo Ye hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My minister, Guo Ye, went to the palace to face the saint, and disturbed the interest of the emperor and the empress to talk about themselves. This minister is guilty!"

"scoff~"

Empress Changsun smiled softly, glared at Guo Ye with a hint of disdain, and scolded, "Master Guo, I haven't seen you for so long, and your mouth is still as smooth as ever."

His Majesty Li Er was probably in a very good mood chatting with the queen just now, and waved his robe at Guo Ye, and said with a smile: "If I punish you for this, I'm afraid Guo Qing, you will complain to me about your grievances again. Alright, don’t stand there like a piece of wood, find a wooden stool and move it over and sit by my side.”

Guo Ye was given a bamboo pole and climbed along the pole. He immediately responded, hugged a bearded stool, and sat down next to His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun.

As soon as he sat down, he couldn't bear his curiosity, and asked hastily: "Your Majesty, when I entered the Ganlu Hall just now, I found that there were lanterns and festoons everywhere in the hall, dressed in red and green. Is it so festive? Dare I ask the Holy Majesty, what is this?" Could there be some happy event in Ganlu Hall?"

Although he was asking His Majesty Li Er, Guo Ye's eyes were on Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun reservedly smiled, shook her head slightly, stood up and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, Mr. Guo came to see you in the palace to discuss state affairs, and my concubine went to make some cakes for you in person, and you talked while eating. "

After all, Empress Changsun didn't answer Guo Ye's question at all, and turned around and walked out of the hall leisurely.

Uh……

Is it not convenient for Empress Changsun to say?Or is it embarrassing to be asked by yourself, and you avoid it?

Guo Ye then set his sights on His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er didn't pay attention to his question, but asked directly: "Your boy has not been to the morning court for so many days since you returned to Chang'an. I am too lazy to bother with you. You can take the initiative to enter the palace to see me today. Could it be that you are explaining before?" Your errand, has it been done?"

That errand, of course, refers to the fact that His Majesty Li Er asked Guo Ye to find a way to expel these thousand Fusang people with bad ideas.

Shit, His Majesty Li Er is not willing to clarify doubts?Grandma, these two really like to tantalize people.

After Guo Ye slandered a few words, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress the itching doubts, stood up solemnly and nodded to His Majesty Li Er, saying: "Yes, the errand assigned by Your Majesty to the minister is almost done. Afterwards, there are some details that need to be dealt with. However, today, the minister entered the palace and brought good news to His Majesty. Through the Fusang people, the minister found a way not to kill monks and nuns, and moved the Buddhist gate to the Fusang island country. Since then, there has been no foreign Buddhism in my Central Plains. I think this is also the end of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism that His Majesty would like to see the most, right?"

"speak!"

Although His Majesty Li Er spoke concisely, he was clearly eager and interested.

Chapter 1132 Where Does Joy Come From?

"Your Majesty, the matter is like this..."

Guo Ye explained the agreement reached with Yagyu Kyoyoshi and others very neatly, without beating around the bush, going straight to the point, and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Of course, in order not to cause any trouble, he automatically hid the fact that Crown Prince Caobi came with the regiment, otherwise, with His Majesty Li Er's temper, he would definitely be furious again, scolding the little overseas country, the majestic emperor The prince came to my capital of the Tang Dynasty, how dare he not come to see me?

Guo Ye simply pinched down the Caobi matter, and played a kind lie with His Majesty Li Er.

Other than that, he said everything that should be said, and he didn't hide anything else.

After His Majesty Li Er finished listening, Yue Mo was silent for a while, as if he was thinking and weighing.
