Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After speaking, Guo Ye bowed.Master Changsun and Turtle Dove followed Guo Ye and bowed to Zhang Renyi.

At this time, Zhang Renyi regained his honest face, waved his hands again and again, and said: "No, no. In fact, there was a layer of soil on the Jingguan when it was first erected. It was just exposed to the wind and the sun. It fell off slowly. I just simply repair it, and it's a little effort, a little effort!"

Turtle Dove asked: "Brother Zhang, is this year your Geng?"

Zhang Renyi said: "I wasted forty springs and autumns!"

"So, Brother Zhang was only ten years old 30 years ago, how did he know the origin of the Skull Mountain, and when did he start taking care of the Skull Mountain?"

"Since the establishment of this Jingguan, my late father has often worshiped it. It was not until ten years ago, when my late father passed away, that I was entrusted with this matter of worship."

Guo Ye said: "In this way, Brother Zhang is a school of loyalty. It is really admirable. Guo Ye has a saying, I don't know if it should be said or not."

Zhang Renyi said: "Where does Mr. Guo say, I, Zhang, have everything to say to others!"

Guo Ye said: "Guo has a heavy responsibility, so he has to be careful. If this offends Brother Zhang, Guo will apologize to Brother Zhang first!"

"Master Guo, please tell me, I am a person with a good temper. I will not be angry."

"Whether it is protecting Feifei or worshiping my Huaxia soldiers, it is an enemy of the Goguryeo government. I think Brother Zhang is a man, his personality...is not so...then..." At this point, Guo Ye didn't know how to speak. up.I can't say, I think you are a coward, how could you do such a eggy thing, is there a conspiracy?

Zhang Renyi is honest, but he is not stupid. As soon as Guo Ye said it, he understood, and said, "Master Guo, I know what you mean. I will do anything if the elder grandson threatens you a few words. How dare you do that?" Something about fighting against the Goguryeo government?"

"That's almost what it means." Guo Ye said shyly,

"Because I am a scholar."

"Scholar?" Guo Ye felt that this reason was ridiculous. If all scholars had such backbone, the Ming Dynasty would not perish.

Zhang Renyi said solemnly: "Reading makes sense. After reading the book, I know where my roots are, and I know that these Huaxia children are my fellow clansmen. After reading the book, I know how to be brave in private battles and timid in public battles. That was the work of barbarians. After reading the book, I know that even though tens of thousands of people have sacrificed their lives for righteousness! Of course I am afraid of confronting the government, but what I am even more afraid of is violating the righteousness in my heart!"

It seems that there is some truth to it?

Guo Ye was dubious, Turtle Dove was quite touched when he heard this, and said: "Unexpectedly, brother Zhang is still a scholar. I was really disrespectful before. I, Li Zhiting, boasted that I was rich in education. After hearing what Brother Zhang said today, I realized that I have not understood the true meaning of the saint. Zhang Brother is the real seed for studying." Turtle Dove would really put money on his face, but in fact he was born as a failed scholar, so he couldn't even talk about being rich and well-educated.

Zhang Renyi waved his hands again and again, and said, "I followed my father and studied for a few years. How can I compare with Brother Li?"

Ignoring the two of them flattering each other, Guo Ye asked again: "So, King Yingyang killed all the captured Huaxia disciples?"

Zhang Renyi said: "That's not true. Fifty thousand captives were not killed, and they were all used as official slaves."

"Where are these official slaves now?"

"They are all near Liaodong City. The person in charge of the officials and slaves is that Yuanhai Zilan. This guy is not human. He abuses these officials and slaves in every possible way. If anything goes wrong, he will be sentenced to death. As for cutting noses and eyes, cutting off hands Feet are commonplace. Up to now, these official slaves don’t know if there are 1 people. Feifei’s father is one of them!”

Turtle Dove sighed: "The youngest of these people must be 50 years old now, and the older ones are 70 to [-] years old. They have to be slaves. They don't have enough food, they don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies, and they are bullied. They have gray hair. , can't return to the hometown. It's really pitiful, lamentable!"

Guo Ye was upset when he heard that, he pulled out the sword in his waist, and said, "Come on, let's destroy this Skull Mountain! Let these Huaxia children go to the ground for peace!"

Zhang Renyi's face changed when he heard the words, but Turtle Dove immediately stopped Guo Ye and persuaded him: "My lord, you must not, absolutely not!"

Chapter 1262 New Home

Guo Ye wanted to destroy Skull Mountain, but was stopped by Turtle Dove, and Zhang Renyi also seemed hesitant to speak.

Guo Ye said: "It's okay if we didn't know before, so many Chinese children died in the wilderness, shouldn't they be buried in peace?"

Turtle Dove smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "My lord, we destroyed Skull Mountain, and Goguryeo will know about it!"

"So what? Can Goguryeo attack and kill me for this?"

"That's not true. However, now Goguryeo is surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and the relationship between the two countries is friendly. These children who died were soldiers of the Sui Dynasty before. My Tang Dynasty started against the Sui..."

Guo Ye shook his head and said: "Turtle Dove, you are wrong, you underestimated His Majesty's heart. Your Majesty will not treat these people as members of the same clan just because they are soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. His Majesty knew what Guo did. joy."

"Subordinates don't mean that. Subordinates mean that there are nearly a million lives between the Great Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo. It can be said that there is no end to death. If Emperor Yang of Sui was not killed, maybe there would be a four-legged Goguryeo How can Goguryeo not be afraid of me, Huaxia?"

"Your Majesty is going to Goguryeo this time at His Majesty's will. Your Majesty's attitude represents the attitude of Datang. If Your Majesty destroys the Skull Mountain, does it mean that Datang took over the beams of the Sui Dynasty? This is not the same as His Majesty's." Is there any conflict in the arrangements? Moreover, if you openly hostile to Goguryeo at this time, it will also hinder the mission of the adults..."

"This..." After hearing this, Guo Ye was really a little confused.Although Goguryeo is definitely going to fight, when and how to fight is not something he can decide.

Guo Ye turned to Master Changsun and said, "Master Changsun, what do you think?"

This eldest grandson master has a mysterious identity, and he may carry the secret mission entrusted by His Majesty Li Er with him.

Master Changsun knew that now was the time to express his position, so he straightened his clothes, bowed and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty has explained before leaving that this time, Master Changsun will only follow the lead of the stallion of Pingyang County when he is going to Goguryeo!"

The ball turned around and returned to Guo Ye.

Guo Ye still couldn't make up his mind.In the end, it is to endure the momentary anger, and the future will last forever.Or do you want to be happy and hate, regardless of it?

As the saying goes, you will not raise troops out of anger!

Guo Ye still understood this truth.But leaving like this is really not Guo Ye's style.

Master Changsun saw Guo Ye's indecision, and said, "Your Majesty still has to explain..."

"My lord, please tell me!"

"Your Majesty said that if you go to Goguryeo, if you encounter people from Huaxia, you will be detained here. It is best to find a way to allow them to return to the Tang Dynasty."

Turtle Dove said: "Master Changsun, I didn't expect that His Majesty trusts Sir Changsun so much, and his favor is even higher than Duke Pingyang! The future is really limitless!"

At this time, he has to come out and play a bad face.You can't ask Guo Ye to question him, can you?

Of course Master Changsun could hear Turtle Dove's sarcasm, his face flushed red, and he said, "The Duke of Pingyang is the pillar of the country, and the eldest grandson is just a brave husband. How can we compare? I didn't say it before because I was afraid of affecting the Duke of Pingyang. Judgment has delayed the country's major affairs. Duke Pingyang, it is up to you to decide whether to destroy this Skull Mountain, and my eldest grandson has no other words!"

Guo Ye said: "General Changsun, you and I are in the same boat now, it is best to be honest with each other. I wonder if His Majesty has any other orders? Guo has no other intentions. He is really afraid of acting abruptly and ruining His Majesty's plan!"

Master Changsun said: "No, absolutely not. Changsun can swear to the sky!"

Can Guo Ye really make him swear?Doesn't this mean that you don't trust His Majesty Li Er?

At this time Zhang Renyi muttered and said: "Master Guo, I have something to say, I don't know if it is appropriate."

"Brother Zhang, please speak!"

"As the saying goes, everything depends on man's effort. I have been in business for so many years, although I haven't made any money. But I also understand the affairs of the world, so it doesn't have to be either one or the other. You are all talented people among us Han people. Can you think about it? Is there a way to solve the problem with the best of both worlds, which can destroy the Skull Mountain without arousing the vigilance of Goguryeo?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "It's difficult. It's easy to destroy the Skull Mountain. Next, we need to properly bury these hundreds of thousands of Chinese children. This movement is not small, and the Goguryeo side will definitely know about it."

Turtle Dove had a flash of inspiration, and said: "It's not that there is no way at all. If Goguryeo took the initiative to destroy the Skull Mountain, there would be no problem..."

"You mean?"

"I'm afraid the matter will have to fall on Gao Xinde. I just don't know how big his appetite is!"

"The problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. How can I, Guo Ye, be stingy with money!"
