Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

"Get lost!" His Majesty Li Er kicked Guo Ye over and said, "From now on, I will never talk about immortality again!"

"My Emperor Shengming!"

"By the way, there is one more thing. You have been investigating for so long, why haven't you found out any of the ministers involved in the conspiracy? Don't you just take bribes for fun and forget all the big things about me? Even if you don't want to do it Wicked people, you have to give me a list, so I know what to do!"

Guo Yedao: "According to Weichen's investigation, the high-ranking officials of the imperial court were all influenced by certain forces! However, Weichen didn't find any people who really participated in the rebellion. Even if there were, there might be one or two who slipped through the net. !"

"Absurd! This is treason, this is usurping the throne! Without the cooperation of senior officials, how could it be successful?"

Seeing that Majesty Li Er's expression was uneasy, Guo Ye quickly explained, "Actually, the people behind the scenes have a very good plan. This big treason case doesn't need the cooperation of senior officials at all! Just get rid of you and the four princes." , who can compete with the Supreme Emperor for this throne? There is no need for the cooperation of ministers at all!"

"Then you said that the mastermind behind this time is the Supreme Emperor?"

"That's impossible. All the people around the Supreme Emperor were killed. It is impossible for the Supreme Emperor to do it. Your Majesty, have you heard of the five great noble families?"

"A joke! How can I not know this? Isn't it the Cui family of Boling, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Li family of Longxi? You mean they participated in the rebellion?"

"It's not that they were involved in the rebellion! According to my guess, these five noble clans are the main force behind the rebellion!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "They don't have the strength! The five great gentry families have great names, but when it comes to money, the five great gentry families are the same. In terms of power, among the five great gentry families Cui Hanjin, the highest official, committed suicide in the Golden Palace! What strength do they have to conspire?"

"Then... I would like to ask you, if the royal family marries a daughter, or if the prince chooses a concubine, can members of the five noble families be selected?"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes! It's simply too capable! I can't wait for it..."

Seeing Guo Ye looking at him jokingly, His Majesty Li Er blushed and said, "The matter of marriage and the strength of the rebellion are two different things! Do you think I hate the poor and love the rich?"

"I don't dare! However, it is human nature to pay attention to the right family in marriage. Although the power of the five great noble families is not great on the surface, the power in private through intermarriage should not be underestimated!"

"This..." His Majesty Li Er frowned, and said: "You really have some truths in saying that! However, I can tell you that you should not act rashly before you have definite evidence! Rebellion is a serious crime against the Jiuzu! If you really commit With the five great gentry, my court will be half empty!"

"Weichen also means the same thing. Everything has to be caught by Luoer Sapo. Now I just want to remind you!"

"Hey, your reminder... I will not be able to sleep well for a few days again!"

……

……

Of course, when Guo Ye came out of Beijing, he couldn't declare to the outside world that I was going to Yizhou to arrest Luo Ersaopo!In that case, as long as Luo Er Suo Po has normal intelligence, she has to put oil on the soles of her feet and slip away!

Therefore, his reason for leaving Beijing this time is to go back to Yizhou, pick up Guo Laohan's bones, and bury him with his mother!

The news that Guo Ye was going to leave Chang'an and go to Yizhou spread throughout the entire Chang'an city as if he had grown wings!The whole city was suddenly plunged into a sea of ​​joy, high-end restaurants were all full, brothels and brothels, and the business has improved a lot in the past few days!If it weren't for the fear of Guo Ye's jealousy, maybe the whole city would be full of firecrackers!

It's not that Guo Ye's reputation is so bad, but that his job is too annoying.He was in charge of the assassination case of King Luoer Sapo, which is a serious crime of treason, who wants to get involved?As long as Guo Ye is in Chang'an City for one day, no matter whether there is a ghost in his heart or not, everyone will be in fear!

This is all right, Guo Ye has finally left Chang'an, at least in the short term, he won't be able to trouble everyone.Isn't it worth celebrating?As for Guo Ye, who was originally a man of love, and now he has made it clear that he has broken the rules when he returns to Yizhou to do private affairs, no one thinks about it.

Next, Guo Ye was worried about who would accompany him this time.This time it's an investigation, so you can't take too many people, so as not to startle the snake.

Master Changsun wants to replace him in the Lijing Gate, so he cannot leave Beijing.Sun Zishan is useless, so he was left in Chang'an to look after the house.Originally, Guo Ye wanted to take Turtledove there, but this guy fell seriously ill, so he couldn't count on it.

In the end, Guo Ye decided to take Jing Jinger, Kong Konger and Qin Ying to Yizhou together.The skills of these three are quite enough, but their loyalty is quite doubtful.Even though he took the opportunity to beat them up last time, Guo Ye still couldn't fully trust these three!

When he was worrying, someone came to report, Master Xuanzang asked to see him!

Chapter 1507

Xuanzang has been shaking in Chang'an City recently!It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one hero in the survival of Buddhism!

If in the past, when talking about the heroes of the continuation of Buddhism, it would have to be said to be the god monk Luo Er Sapo. Without Luo Er Sapo, the Central Plains Buddhism would have been dispatched to Fusang long ago!In that backcountry, what else can Buddhism in the Central Plains do?It's almost the same as the extinction of Taoism!

However, success also draws you to Saha, and failure also draws you to Saha.Luo Er Suo Po intended to assassinate His Majesty Li Er, but was exposed by Guo Ye!If Monk Xuanzang hadn't been far-sighted and saved Guo Ye's family, then His Majesty Li Er would take revenge, and the Buddhism in the Central Plains would not even want to move to Fusang!

Not to mention that Guo Ye also recommended Xuanzang to His Majesty Li Er to give lectures, which cured His Majesty Li Er's insomnia!Uh... Although it sounds a bit awkward to talk about the treatment of insomnia.But no matter how awkward it is, it also has a relationship with the emperor!With the emperor's support, the great prosperity of Buddhism is just around the corner...

Therefore, Xuanzang's current status in the Buddhist sect of the Central Plains is solid!

In fact, not only the Buddhist sects of the Central Plains, but also ordinary high-ranking officials and dignitaries had to be polite when they saw Xuanzang.On the one hand, Xuanzang could talk to His Majesty Li Er, on the other hand, who didn't know that Xuanzang and Guo Ye had a good relationship?Guo Ye holds the terrifying imperial decree in his hand, which is equivalent to holding people's lifeblood.At the critical moment, they are counting on Monk Xuanzang to intercede for them!

Guo Ye let Xuanzang into the living room, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and said, "Grand Monk, I heard that you have been very busy recently, and you have to give lectures to His Majesty, and pray for blessings for some high-ranking officials and relatives. How can you be free... By the way, you are here to ask for the 1 taels of gold, right? Back then I promised you Da Ci’en Temple 1 taels of gold for rebuilding the temple! I forgot about this, and I’ll get it for you... "

Master Xuanzang waved his hands again and again, and said, "Brother Guo, you are welcome, the poor monk is not here to collect debts! Since that day, more and more devotees have come to Da Ci'en Temple to give alms, and the amount of alms has also increased. With this money, even if we build ten more Great Mercy Temples, there will still be enough money! You should keep your 1 taels of gold for yourself!"

keep?Keep it and keep it!Guo Ye admired Master Xuanzang, and although he was not disgusted with the Buddhism in the Central Plains, he didn't have much affection for him. The 1 taels was saved as much as he could!

Guo Ye said: "Then why did you come here today to ask me for help? Just say it! You saved Guo's family members, just like you saved my Guo Ye. Thank you for saving your life..."

Xuanzang waved his hand and said, "The little monk came here this time not to ask for your help! It's...to help you!"

"Help me!"

"Yes, I heard that the three martial arts masters around you betrayed you at the Longevity Meeting. You cherished their martial arts and didn't pursue them later! Your kindness is of course admirable, but the people around you It’s not very reliable, and something is wrong!”

"what do you mean……"

"Let's be clear, I want to introduce someone to you to be your personal bodyguard!"

"who is it?"

"The little monk has already brought him, do you want to see him?"

Guo Ye had no choice but to give this face, so he naturally nodded in agreement!

The person who came was a monk, about 50 to [-] years old, with a handsome face, gentle and elegant, with piercing eyes, and he was not inferior to Xuanzang in terms of appearance.The only thing that spoiled his image a bit was that Guo Ye was so far away that he could smell the heavy alcohol on this monk!

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, little monk Falin, I have met Qin Guogong!"

Guo Ye stood up and replied, "You're welcome, Master Falin, please sit down!"

"Thank you Qin Guogong!"

Sun Zishan moved a bearded stool for Falin to sit on.Guo Ye asked: "Guo has been on fire for the past two days, and his nose is not working well. Why does he smell a smell of alcohol? I don't know if it is an illusion?"

Falin said: "Mr. Qin is saving face for the little monk too much! You heard it right, and to tell you the truth, the poor monk has no drink and no joy every day!"

"What about the meat?"

"How can there be wine without meat?"

Guo Ye thought to himself, Nima is still a wine and meat monk!At least this person's character is not bad, not much better than the three around me!

He was very disappointed and said, "I heard from Master Xuanzang that you want to be my bodyguard?"

"You can't say that!" Falin said proudly, "It's not that the poor monk wanted to be your bodyguard, but Master Xuanzang forced the poor monk to be your bodyguard! For the sake of Buddhism, the poor monk has no choice but to obey!"
