Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Home and everything are prosperous..."

His Majesty Li Er chewed and recollected these five words, buried his head and muttered in a low voice: "Yes, Changsun Wuji is old, and the Guanlong family is also drifting away. What can he do even if he returns to Chang'an? Why should I? Afraid of him again? Family love, family love, everyone in the world says that once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea, and the Tian family is the most ruthless. I just want to tell them that the emperor is not a cold-blooded person, and I want to let those old loyal ministers know that Even for someone like Changsun Wuji, I can forgive him, forgive him!"

Call ~

Guo Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty Li Er was able to say these words, obviously his sharp and empathetic words had an effect.

Sure enough, no matter what kind of patient you are, whether you are a peddler or a high-ranking emperor, prescribing the right medicine is always king.

Now that His Majesty Li Er is loose, Guo Ye will naturally use his trump card - praise!

He took a deep breath, and was about to say "Long live", when Hong Zhong Da Lu called the emperor wise a few times.

Before he could speak, His Majesty Li Er suddenly waved his hand at him and said: "Forget it, Guo Qing, go and call the Queen and Changsun Wuji into the palace. Today is the Queen's birthday, so I will talk about family affection, don't you?" Talk about other..."

Uh……

Guo Ye was slightly taken aback, his brows were beaming with joy, and he grinned and muttered, there's something going on!

Chapter 1139

"Sun Wuji, the criminal minister, kowtows to His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji entered the Ganlu Hall again, and kowtowed in front of His Majesty Li Er as soon as he entered the hall.

Empress Changsun entered with him, and it was too late to hold him.

Afterwards, the four princesses also filed into the hall.

His Majesty Li Er shook his head lightly twice, both his expression and his voice became much calmer, and he said, "Wuji, get up, today we only talk about family affection, regardless of other things. You are the elder brother of the queen, and you have been dependent on him since childhood." , regardless of the past, you and I are still a family. Get up!"

It is rare for His Majesty Li Er to speak such plain words, but to Changsun Wuji's ears, it was the sudden dew in the drought-stricken land, and the excitement in his heart cannot be expressed in words.

No worries!

His Majesty Li Er called Wuji, and his grandson Wuji burst into tears. It's been a long time since his majesty called himself that.

Seeing this, Guo Ye shook his head, filled with emotion in his heart, to say that Changsun Wuji had a high position and authority at the time, commanding the wind and rain in the court, leading the old ministers of Tiance Mansion to dominate, how awesome is it?Now, because His Majesty Li Er called him by his first name, he was so moved that he was satisfied so easily. If he had known today, why did he do it in the first place?

He stepped forward to help him up, and whispered: "Master Changsun, get up quickly, you see that the emperor asked you to get up, what's the matter with you kneeling like this?"

Changsun Wuji knew that Guo Ye's lobbying must have played a role in the scene in front of him, so he bowed his head and said thank you when Guo Ye pulled him up.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed and cheerful for a while, and the princesses once again gathered around the eldest grandson Wuji with beaming faces, chattering for uncle.

Guo Ye didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji really had some "princess fate" and could win the favor of these princesses.

Changsun Wuji, who let go of the shackles in his heart and the burdens on his body, suddenly relaxed, and laughed, asked and answered with Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang and other princesses, but it also outlined a picture of family happiness.

His Majesty Li Er saw his daughters playing and having fun with his uncle, and saw his wife Guanyin's maid pursed her lips and smiled contentedly, looking at the happiness of his elder brother Changsun Wuji and his daughters, and felt that he would forgive Changsun Wuji Bogey, it really doesn't matter.

However, although he was persuaded by Guo Ye and gave up his prejudice and hatred towards Changsun Wuji, it was very difficult for him to sit down and talk and laugh with Changsun Wuji to return to the intimacy of the past.He knew very well that he would never go back to the life and death and mutual trust when he was fighting the world.

He didn't want to break the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere in Ganlu Hall because of himself, and he didn't want to spoil the elegance of Guanyin's birthday today.

Immediately, he glanced at Guo Ye, and ordered: "You will inform Li Daozong of Zongzheng Temple later on, and tell him what I mean. From now on, restore the title of Duke Zhao, the eldest grandson Wuji, and return the original Duke Zhao's mansion to him." He, let him spend his days in Chang'an! I still have government affairs to deal with, so I'll go back to Beige first."

After finishing speaking, His Majesty Li Er walked towards the gate of the palace, and when he passed by the astonished eldest grandson Wuji, he said lightly: "Wuji, in the future, if you have nothing to do, go to the palace to accompany the queen more often."

After the words fell, the people had already left the Ganlu Hall, leaving behind the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress, especially the eldest grandson empress, although she knew that Guo Ye had advised her husband, but she didn't expect her husband There is such a big time concession so quickly.

Princess Gao Yang and the others were so heartless, they were overjoyed when they heard the words of their father's departure, they laughed and shouted hello around Changsun Wuji again.

Guo Ye understood His Majesty Li Er's sudden departure, but he didn't reveal it.Now His Majesty Li Er was able to make concessions, not only allowing Changsun Wuji to move back to Chang'an to live up to his old age, but also restoring his title of Duke Zhao, in his opinion, it was the best result.

Now that the birthday banquet is over, His Majesty Li Er has also left, and he has nothing to do while staying here.

So, he also got up to bid farewell to Empress Changsun, and when passing by Changsun Wuji, he whispered: "Master Changsun, Guo did what he said, now the emperor not only let the past go, but also gave back the title of the mansion, just accept it when you see it. As we walk, I will also go to find Prince Jiangxia first, I still have to make up my mind about Zongzheng Temple."

After all, he followed in the footsteps of His Majesty Li Er and walked out of the Ganlu Hall.

After Guo Ye left for a short while, Changsun Wuji slowly recovered from his astonishment, looked at the gate of the palace where Guo Ye's figure had disappeared, shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect him to help me, but I underestimated it." His generosity, hey~~ Gou lived for most of his life, but he was not as good as a junior. Today I am completely convinced. Although I am old, I am not as good as Guo Ye as an official, and even worse as a person. My little sister, am I not very good? Failure? Did my brother disappoint you too much?"

At the end, Changsun Wuji couldn't help asking Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun shook her head, turned her eyes to the entrance of the hall, and replied softly: "It's not that you are inferior to him, brother, but that you have always underestimated him and rejected him. In fact, he is a good man, and he is even more capable. , brother!"

Changsun Wuji sighed again: "Oh..."

Empress Changsun is so smart, she can naturally guess what her brother is thinking now, not only still has the ambition of a young man, but also has a bit of twilight, and is very entangled.

So, she gently reminded: "Brother, you are getting old, and the Guanlong family has collapsed and will never be the same again. This person should be content and happy forever! You should be grateful that the Holy Majesty can give you back the noble mansion, You shouldn't have delusions about making a comeback. Today is different from the past. Today's court, today's world, is no longer what it used to be. Opportunity is such a mysterious thing, there is only one, how can there be two?"

Changsun Wuji's body shook, and he suddenly looked like he was ten years old again. The radiant look that had just been glowing disappeared, and he returned to the look of old age and twilight.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, nodded and said, "Little sister is right, I'm already half-entrenched in the loess, so what are you fighting for? I'm old, it's time to enjoy my life and enjoy my family relationship."

After all, Changsun Wuji seemed to have been reborn as if he had really changed himself. He got together with Princess Gaoyang and his nieces, making hearty noises from time to time.

Empress Changsun saw that her elder brother had really realized it, she couldn't help but a look of relief floated on her face, and a bit of joy was added to her plain and elegant cheeks.

She glanced at her elder brother, eldest grandson Wuji in relief, and at her four daughters dotingly, then walked slowly to the entrance of the hall, and outside the hall...

I saw her eyebrows soaring, her eyes brightly looking at the high palace wall, and she wanted to broaden her sight to Chang'an City beyond the palace wall.

After concentrating for a while, she murmured, "Guo Ye, you have helped me so much, how can I repay you?"

Chapter 1140

Guo Ye came out of the palace and went to Jiangxia Palace.

He met Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, in the palace, and presented to him the oral instructions of His Majesty Li Er.

For His Majesty Li Er's forgiveness to Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong was not too surprised.After all, when he was with Changsun Wuji, he worked together under Li Shimin's tent, the king of Qin, so he didn't feel completely disgusted with Changsun Wuji.And he is very clear that the emperor and the empress are very affectionate, and the emperor is even more devoted to the empress. Just because of this, he also feels that the emperor will forgive his grandson Wuji sooner or later, but it is only a matter of time .

However, he was still quite surprised that the emperor had withdrawn Chen's order, restored Changsun Wuji's title as Duke of Zhao, and returned the imperial edict of Duke Zhao's mansion.

Surprised that the emperor, who has always been self-willed and arbitrarily fond of the world, would so easily withdraw Chen's order and return these honors to Changsun Wuji.

Li Daozong followed Li Shimin when Li Yuan and his son rebelled in Taiyuan, and later worked in Li Shimin's Qin Wang Tiance Mansion, so he knew Li Shimin very well.

In his eyes, Li Shimin has always said the same thing, what he said is like water poured out, and he has never had the habit of taking it back.In particular, Changsun Wuji's imperial decree to dismiss officials and nobles to expel Chang'an, in Li Daozong's mind, it is impossible for the emperor to take back Chen's order. This not only affects the authority of his golden words, but also makes him the emperor of Tang Dynasty lose face.It is no secret that the emperor cherishes face the most and values ​​reputation the most.

But he still underestimated the weight of Guo Ye in Li Shimin's eyes. He never expected that that inconspicuous brat back then, that bastard kid who cheated him so hard, would grow into a big tree with full wings. Already able to influence the decision of the current Holy Majesty.

He is not a fool, since the Holy Majesty can let Guo Ye come to convey this will to him, it must be that Guo Ye played a role in it, allowing the emperor to withdraw Chen's order and return the title and residence of Changsun Wuji.

Li Daozong made a secret comparison. He firmly believed that it would be very difficult for him to make the emperor willingly make a decision that violated his original intention like Guo Ye.
