Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye returned to his heart like an arrow, and he took the lead and walked in the forefront.

Followed by him was a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, with a personable demeanor. He was Turtledove, one of the five tigers of the East Factory.

Behind them were hundreds of soldiers, travel-stained, driving dozens of carts, escorting a group of Tubo captives.

"Guo Shangshu, sent as an envoy to Tubo, extolling our country's prestige in the Tang Dynasty, according to His Majesty's orders, Duan Zhixuan, Duke of the Fan Kingdom, is here to welcome you!" Duan Zhixuan, along with a group of green-robed officials from the Ministry of Rites, had already been waiting at the door of Mingde Gate.

Guo Ye immediately jumped off the horse.

I rely on!

No matter how great the contribution he made by Guo Ye, it is not worth dispatching a minister of the household department to greet him!This Duan Zhixuan is really impatient!

Guo Ye took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted, and said with a gentle smile: "How can I, Guo Ye, dare to work for Duan Shangshu? I am really ashamed, ashamed!"

How did Duan Zhixuan get here?He came here on his own initiative!

Hearing that Guo Ye was going back to Beijing, Duan Zhixuan took the initiative to think that His Majesty Li Er had asked for this job.It was originally out of order.But thinking of his pain of losing his younger brother, His Majesty Li Er still agreed.

Duan Zhixuan looked at the prison car behind, and said to Guo Ye: "Where, where. Mr. Guo is fully worthy of it. Yu Gong, Mr. Guo set fire to the Potala Palace, changed the situation in Tubo, and raised our country's prestige. Yu private, Mr. Guo, but put The culprit who killed my brother has been arrested and brought to justice. He deserves it completely. Now Master Guo, please hand him over to me!"

"In that case, Duan Shangshu will be troubled!"

At this time, Guo Ye didn't refuse the meaning that should be in the question, so he ordered his subordinates to communicate with Duan Zhixuan's people.

Duan Zhixuan looked at the prisoners who were handed over, and said, "I heard that the mastermind who killed my brother was a young woman named Tajina. I wonder if she is among these prisoners?"

Guo Ye can't lie about this matter, Duan Zhixuan will understand everything when interrogated.

Tajina is also absolutely unacceptable. If she hands it over, Wang Bodang still has to fight Guo Ye for his life?

Guo Ye had no choice but to say in embarrassment: "This Tajina is not inside."

Duan Zhixuan knew it wasn't that simple, so he pretended to be stupid and asked, "Oh? Could it be that Mr. Guo didn't catch Tajina?"

Guo Yexin said that this kind of thing can really be done but can’t be said. In the public, there is really no way to explain it to Duan Zhixuan, so he smiled wryly: "I caught it, I caught it, this... Mr. Duan, please take a step to speak!"

At the gate of Mingde Gate in Chang'an City, where is there room for the two Shangshu adults to "take a step to speak"?

Duan Zhixuan frowned, and ordered the people: "Stand back!"

The people brought by Guo Ye and Duan Zhixuan stepped back dozens of steps, leaving some privacy for the two adults.

Duan Zhixuan and others walked away, and said angrily: "Guo Ye, what's the matter with you? Forget about Wang Ba's business. For your sake, I don't care if you want someone. The court can continue to arrest him. It's his luck if he can't be caught." , don’t complain if you catch me, just let it be your fate. Tajina, you have to give it to me, right? She is the lowly mastermind who murdered me, without her head, how can I explain to my dead brother?”

Guo Ye also knew that he was in the wrong, rolled his eyes, and said, "Lord Duan, it is indeed that Mr. Guo did something wrong. However, Mr. Guo did have some unspeakable difficulties. In fact, Tajina was also forced by others. The mastermind is not her. As long as Tajina can not be handed over, Guo will have another compensation for the Duan family. What do you think?"

"compensate?"

One has two, Duan Zhixuan can give up chasing and killing Wang Ba for Duan Zhide's "glory after death", but now that he hears that there is another compensation, the idea of ​​insisting on Tajina is a little loose.Duan Zhixuan was a little moved and asked, "What do you say?"

Guo Ye saw what was going on, and hurriedly said: "The death of brother Ling is really a pity for the country. But people cannot be brought back to life after death, and the most important thing now is the issue of pensions. One is the mourning of Lord Duan Zhide after death. The court must do it beautifully." Bright. Another question is about the descendants of Lord Duan Zhide. I heard that Lord Duan Zhide has a son named Duan Tianbao, who is in his 20s and has both civil and military skills. He has not yet become an official?"

Duan Zhixuan heard the implication of Guo Ye's words, he is not too young, he has a deep affection, and he has planned a lot for the future of future generations.Now that his younger brother is dead, he has to take on his nephew's problems as well.But if there are too many monks, there are too many children of his own.Duan Zhixuan was really worried about how to provide a good future for his nephew.

Duan Zhixuan asked: "Could it be that Mr. Guo intends to...?"

Guo Yedao: "According to the imperial court system, if Duan Tianbao takes over the title, he should be demoted to a lower rank. However, Duan Zhide is loyal to the country and killed by the enemy. In order to praise Zhongliang, Guo is willing to write a letter to the emperor, hoping that Duan Tianbao can completely inherit the title of Lord Duan Zhide. In addition, I am still vacant for the position of the right general of the Yamen of the Weifu, and I intend to recommend Duan Tianbao to take over!"

Who is Guo Ye?The big red man in front of Li Er.Li Er still felt guilty towards Guo Ye for not rewarding him many times, and the courtiers knew it well.

In terms of Li Er's trust, Guo Ye might not be as good as Duan Zhixuan.But when it comes to asking for rewards and seals, Duan Zhixuan really doesn't have as much face as Guo Ye.If Guo Ye had been on the table to play the role, Duan Tianbao's future could be picked up by ten fingers--ninety-five.

After all, the death of Duan Zhide is similar to the death of the two countries in the war.The soldiers on both sides fought to the death, and there was indeed no personal enmity.

Duan Zhide has also been dead for so long, and Duan Zhixuan has calmed down a lot, and his hatred for the person who killed his brother has also decreased a lot.

It's a good deal to exchange a little Tajina for a bright future for my nephew.Thinking of this, Duan Zhixuan said to Guo Ye: "Master Guo is deeply favored by His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely agree to Lord Guo's request. But..."

After all, Duan Zhixuan is the Minister of the Household Department of the Tang Dynasty, so he still needs face. It can be said that he let Wang Ba go to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but what can he say if he let Tajina go?

Seeing that Duan Zhixuan was moved, Guo Ye said, "Tajina is not actually the mastermind behind the scenes. The real mastermind behind the scenes is Queen Yunrong, and now Queen Yunrong has been slaughtered by me. Lord Duan Zhide's revenge has been avenged!"

Duan Zhixuan sneered and said, "Even if Tajina is not the mastermind behind the scenes, she is also the key executor. Is she just let go like this?"

Guo Ye understood that Duan Zhixuan was looking for a step down, and said: "Actually, Tajina is also a poor person. She was forced to do it at the mercy of Queen Yunrong. She is a fart, so you just let her go." Bar."

As a last resort, Guo Ye took out all the Internet jokes of later generations.

Duan Zhixuan burst into laughter when he heard his vulgar and ridiculous words.Feeling wrong again, he hurriedly put on a straight face, and said: "Speaking of which, Duan would also like to thank Mr. Guo for killing Queen Yunrong and avenging my brother. You are the great benefactor of our Duan family. Since Mr. Guo insisted on Then Tajina interceded, and Duan gave Mr. Guo a face and didn't pursue it. However, the others..."

Guo Ye solved Tajina's problem. He was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Others, please do as you please. Frying, cooking, frying, you can do whatever you want!"

Duan Zhixuan said: "Since that's the case, Mr. Guo, let's make an oath by high-fiving!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Three high-fives, the two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled.In fact, Guo Ye did not suffer from this matter.Put Duan Tianbao in his

His subordinates are completely on good terms with Duan Zhixuan, Shangshu of the Great Tang Household Department.If Duan Zhixuan doesn't deal with him in the future, won't he be afraid that Guo Ye will put Duan Tianbao in shoes?

Duan Zhixuan was also satisfied, the biggest murderer, Empress Yunrong, had already been buried in the flames.Although Tajina forgave, isn't there still a group of Tubo captives?He will properly "process" these captives to comfort the spirit of his deceased brother.

Duan Zhixuan took a group of criminals from Guo Ye and hurried to the Ministry of Punishment.Wei Ting, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, had been waiting for a long time. The assassination of General Tuyuhun was one of the most serious cases in recent years.He ordered these criminals to be put in prison for retrial at another day.Of course, with Duan Zhixuan's face, these people will definitely have a "comfortable" life in the prison.

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord!" Tajina let out a sigh of relief when she saw Duan Zhixuan took the man away, and bowed down to Guo Yeying.

Guo Ye quickly waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, excuse me. Uncle Wang is my elder brother, and you are my sister-in-law. This is what I should do, what I should do."

In fact, Tajina was not as old as Guo Ye, so she had a good time.

Do it obediently, after dressing up and dressing up, Tajina is so happy, it is really overwhelming.

Even Guo Ye, who is used to beauties, lost his mind for a moment, thinking that it was no wonder Wang Bodang was fascinated by this woman, and this Tajina really meant to charm all living beings.

Of course we can't stay at the gate of the city for long, Guo Ye said: "Let's go home quickly, I'm afraid senior Wang is already anxiously waiting for my sister-in-law!"

Tajina retorted: "I'm afraid it's because you miss your beautiful ladies so anxiously!"

Guo Ye and his party were eager to return home, and rushed to Taipingfang at full speed.I didn't walk a few miles, but I couldn't walk anymore.

I saw a sea of ​​people in front of me, very lively.Horseback riders and sedan chair riders, all of whom are imposing, and they can be seen as officials by looking at their clothes, lined up in a long line, blocking the road tightly.

At the end of the line, Guo Ye knew that it was the residence of Li Jing, Duke of Wei.

This is strange, Li Jing is a tough man and doesn't like forming cliques.Usually, there are not many guests in his house.Now, Li Jing is going on an expedition to Tianzhu, what are these people doing in the Duke of Wei's mansion?

Could it be that Li Jing has returned to court as a teacher?Can't, count the days, it's not so fast.What has actually happened?
