Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Then do you know that our five noble families are united in the same spirit, one loses and the other prospers, and you offend our Cui family, but you offend the five great noble families at the same time! Your high position is true, and our five noble families are not vegetarians! Youdao means that many friends lead to multiple paths, and many enemies build up multiple walls, so why do you need to make many strong enemies?"

Cui Liuquan saw that the Cui family was not good enough, so he moved out all the five noble families!

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Since I, Guo Ye, have been born, how many foreign races have died by my sword? In the south, how many Bailian disciples have their heads cut off by my own hands? In the officialdom, the abolished prince Li Chengqian was also fought by me. Down! What five great noble families, bullshit! You are so vicious, can you be more vicious than those foreign heroes? No matter how powerful you are, can you surpass Prince Li Chengqian? There is no way to scare me, Guo Ye, if you expect to raise the name of the five great noble families! "

Cui Liuquan said coldly: "So there is nothing to talk about?"

"That's not true. I, Guo Ye, am not an unreasonable person! Besides resigning from office, there is another way to choose!"

"What way?" Cui Xuanren couldn't wait to ask when he heard that he didn't need to resign.

"After the two of you returned home, you wiped your necks and killed yourself! Then this official will not have to resign! In addition, before you die, you can also play a memorial to impeach me, Guo Ye, for being domineering and driving you to death! Maybe it will cause someone Guo A little trouble!"

This doctrine is too harmful. This is not to hurt one thousand enemies, but to hurt one thousand!

Cui Xuanren said with a sad face: "Then let's resign from office!"

Cui Liuquan said, "Mr. Pingyang, since you must kill them all, I, Cui Liuquan, have nothing to say! However, no matter how guilty the two of us are, we are still officials of the imperial court. Without official documents from the imperial court, you will kill us two brothers." Arrest it, it’s against the law! Speaking of Datian, you are only a minister of the Ministry of Rites, neither a minister of the Ministry of Officials nor a minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Guo Ye didn't want to give anyone a handle, and said: "Untie their rope!"

Cui Liuquan was loosened from the rope, and moved his body a bit before Shi Shiran sat down and said, "Thank you, Duke Pingyang!"

"You're welcome! As long as you resign and don't work, I'm not an unreasonable person, and I won't punish you!"

"Who said we have to resign? Duke Pingyang, you keep forcing us to resign. How dare you ask which law of the Tang Dynasty we violated? Even if we really violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we can be fined and demoted. , I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to ask us to resign as soon as you open your mouth?"

"Hey, you didn't have a military order, so you led the soldiers across the state and across the government! To put it lightly, you are using a public weapon for private use; to put it more seriously, it is not wrong to ask you for treason! Do you think you can keep this official status?"

"Then try it! I'm not afraid to tell you that there are people in the Cui Clan's military department in Boling! Don't think that I don't have a transfer order now. When the court investigates it, the transfer order will naturally be there!"

"Who is from the Cui family in the Ministry of War?"

"This..." Cui Liuquan smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I will tell you?"

"Then I will impeach you for plundering and humiliating girls from good families!"

"That's easier! Our Boling Cui family also has people in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment! You have bullets, and we have disputes! If you come and go, it's really not certain who will win!"

"You mean that there are people with your five surnames in the six departments? Don't exhale here and scare the official? Besides, even if what you said is true, I don't believe that the officials in the six departments will really do it for you. You two offend me, Guo Ye?"

"Hey, believe it or not! If you want the two of us to bow our heads and admit defeat, we can't do it without resigning! If nothing happens, the two of us will leave! If you want to impeach us, whatever you want!"

"Wait a minute!" Guo Ye stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "You two, go slowly!"

"Why, is it possible that Duke Pingyang still wants to invite our brothers to drink?"

"You have a good idea! I mean, you two have another crime. If Guo initiates impeachment, you two may lose your life!"

"What crime!"

"That's why you colluded with Yuan Nanjian, an official of Goguryeo, with the intention of assassinating Duke Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty!"

"You...you are bloody!"

Guo Ye smiled slightly, and suddenly took out a dagger and slid it on his left arm. The wound was not deep, but very long!In an instant, blood was dripping!

Guo Ye said: "Now the evidence is conclusive! There are both personal and physical evidence! The guards present are innocent and can testify! Come and tie them up for me!"

The guards rushed over, wiped their shoulders and folded their arms together, and tied up the two of them again!

Cui Xuanren shouted and asked: "Guo Ye, you majestic Duke of Pingyang used such a despicable method to frame an official of the imperial court! Are you not afraid of the ridicule of the world? You... What is the difference between you and us?"

Guo Ye was amused when he heard it, and said: "Today I will teach you to be a good boy. Corrupt officials must be raped, and honest officials must be even more villainous. Otherwise, how can honest officials beat corrupt officials? It's about whether you act with a clear heart! You can bully me with that kind of gentleman... It's useless!"

……

……

Although he found enough "evidence" for Er Cui, Guo Ye still felt that it was not safe!From Er Cui's tone, it can be seen that the latent power of the five great gentry clans is astonishing, they won't die from beating a snake, but suffer from it instead!Guo Ye made up his mind to make this case an iron case!Ever since, he sent out all his guards, posted notices, and collected Er Cui's charges!

It's a pity that he still underestimated the power of the Boling Cui family!Although many complaints were posted, no one dared to sue. On the contrary, many officials came to intercede with Er Cui, which disappointed Guo Ye!

On this day, Guo Ye was sitting bored in Xinxin Inn, Master Changsun brought a person over and said, "Mr. Pingyang, do you see who is here?"

When Guo Ye saw the person, he was taken aback. How could it be... him?

Chapter 1419

Come to know Guo Ye!

Not only did they know each other, but Guo Ye planned to find him in a few days.

This person is Zheng Yuan and Zheng Defang!That is, the biological father of little loli Zheng Feifei!

Back then in Liaodong City, Zheng Yuan was an official slave under Yuan Haizilan. If it wasn't for Guo Ye, he would never be able to return to his homeland for the rest of his life.Later, Zheng Yuan became suspicious of the relationship between Guo Ye and Zheng Feifei, and refused to follow Guo Ye to Pyongyang, and went back to his hometown alone to visit relatives.It's been a year now.

But it is really strange to meet Zheng Yuan here, Zheng Yuan said that he is from Xingze.Xingze is more than 1000 miles away from here, how did he find it?

After exchanging pleasantries, Guo Ye asked: "Brother Zheng, luckily, I have found your precious daughter Zheng Feifei for you! She is in the backyard, I will send someone to call her right away!"

Zheng Yuan's expression changed, and he said, "Not busy, not busy! Zheng's visit this time is actually not for Feifei..."

"Then why you came here this time..."

"I heard that two members of the Boling Cui family offended Duke Pingyang. Zheng Yuan came here this time to seek favor with you..."

Guo Ye's complexion changed at that time, and he said: "I never thought that the Boling Cui family is so powerful. In order to deal with me, Guo Ye, I invited you all here! Brother Zheng, you are really loyal to work for the Boling Cui family." , the 1000-mile journey is not easy, right?"

The words contained sarcasm, Zheng Yuan smiled wryly after hearing this, and said: "Master Pingyang, don't misunderstand me! I am not the Cui family of Boling who found me from thousands of miles away. Mr. Zheng is originally in Mizhou!"

"Isn't your hometown Xingze?"

"It's a long story at this time!" Zheng Yuan sighed, and continued: "At the beginning, Zheng said goodbye to Pingyang County Duke and returned to Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he encountered bandits on the way, and all his belongings were wiped out. After many twists and turns , Zheng was able to return to his hometown Xingze!"

The words were unclear, but Guo Ye understood as soon as he heard it, Zheng Yuan came back with food!

This guy is really unlucky. He was in a high position when he was only in his twenties. In a blink of an eye, he became a prisoner of Goguryeo and became an official slave.After being rescued by Guo Ye, he committed suicide and became a beggar!

When Guo Ye thought about Zheng Yuan's appearance at the door of his house, he couldn't help gloating a little, and said, "Brother Zheng has worked hard all the way, so he must have received some warm hospitality when he returned home?"

When Zheng Xuan saw Guo Ye's appearance, he knew what he was thinking, and said, "Could it be that Duke Pingyang thinks that I, the Zheng family of Xingyang, hate the poor and love the rich?"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Guo Ye said dare not, but he was quite disapproving in his heart!From Er Cui's performance, Guo Ye knew what virtues the so-called five great gentry were!

Zheng Yuan continued: "When Zheng returned home, he found out that Zheng's biological parents had died long ago, and his wife had remarried. However, there are still many clan members who recognize Cui. With the support of these clan members, although Cui can't say that since then With fine clothes and fine food, life is still no problem!"

"Then why did you come to Mizhou from Xingze?"
