Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Sighing, she suddenly felt like vomiting, and turned around quickly and walked towards the bedroom.

……

……

At noon of the second day, His Majesty Li Er really sent palace people to invite Empress Changsun to Sufeng Hall, and asked her to have a banquet with Concubine Yang, and accompanied him to summon Yizhou Hou Guoye, a great hero.

In Sufeng Palace, Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang were sitting around His Majesty Li Er, waiting for the arrival of Guo Ye, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others.

Taking advantage of Guo Ye and others not coming, the three of them talked and laughed. It seemed that they were very close, and it seemed that His Majesty Li Er was in a beautiful mood.

At this time, Eunuch Shun sent into Sufeng Palace and reported, "The Marquis of Yizhou, Yu Pushe, and Kong Shangshu came hand in hand and are waiting outside Sufeng Palace."

His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, he stood up suddenly, and slowly chanted to Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang: "Haha, Empress, Concubine Yang, you sit down first, I will personally go outside the palace to meet Guo Aiqing .”

"what?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to greet him in person?"

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang turned pale when they heard the words, and the emperor actually went out of the palace to greet his courtiers in person, which was too sensational.

Even the rumored Eunuch Shun turned pale with fright. How much did the emperor favor Guo Ye?

Who knows that His Majesty Li Er didn't think that Xu Di shook his head and waved his hand, and chanted like a poem: "The desert is windy and dusty, the sun is dark, the red flag is half rolled out of the gate, the former army has captured Tuyuhun alive in the night battle on Taohe River. If my Every courtier can open up the territory for me like him and make great achievements in the sky, so what if I greet them backwards? Dong Shun, lead the way..."

"Here!!!"

Chapter 729

His Majesty Li Er greeted Guo Ye personally at the gate of the palace, and the two old fellows, Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda, were immediately moved by the pro-people show, and their expressions could not be restrained.

The two old men praised His Majesty Li Er without hesitation, boasting that His Majesty Li Er is rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth, almost touting him as the existence of the ancient sages, three emperors, five emperors, Yao, Shun and Yu.

Guo Ye looked at the disgusting look of the two old men around him, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, and secretly belittled, isn't it just the emperor's whim to act like a virtuous corporal? How can you two react to such a big movement? ?

Relegation belongs to relegation, but he gave enough face after all, and matched His Majesty Li Er's personal show just right, put on a flattered look and shouted long live the emperor.

The four monarchs and ministers exchanged greetings at the entrance of the hall for a while before entering the hall.

When Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang saw a few people coming in, they naturally stopped sitting down and got up one after another to meet Guo Ye and the other three.

Soon, all kinds of dishes and fine wines were delivered into the hall one after another, and a table was filled to the brim.

This time Guo Ye found that His Majesty Li Er was very generous. The table was not as shabby as before, only a few dishes of pickles and millet porridge.On the contrary, there are fish and meat, as well as a few delicacies that Guo Ye can't name.

For a moment, he moved his index finger and secretly praised, this is the minimum standard for a royal banquet.

But strictly speaking, it is better to say that His Majesty Li Er set up a family banquet than an imperial banquet.

There are only four monarchs and ministers in total, and the Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang are also sitting on the left and right. Isn’t this a family banquet?

The only thing that surprised Guo Ye was that His Majesty Li Er not only allowed Empress Changsun to attend with her pregnancy, but also allowed a charming woman, Concubine Yang, to sit by her side.

The two women are distinguished and noble, but one is elegant and quiet, the other is charming and moving, each has its own merits, and it is really a beautiful landscape.

At least, in Guo Ye's mind, the words "beautiful and delicious" are enough to comment.

After everyone was seated, the two maids next to each of them poured wine one by one with a delicate and small white glaze wine jug.

After pouring the wine, His Majesty Li Er raised his glass first and said to everyone, "Come on, I want to respect Guo Qing for this first glass of wine."

Guo Ye immediately got up in a hurry when he heard the sound, raised his glass and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I am so disgusted with this humble minister, how dare I treat you as a respectful name? I am sincere and fearful, my humble minister is really sincere and fearful!"

In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, this attitude is very satisfying, not at all arrogant, and a little more calm and humble than before, um, Tuyuhun has matured a lot.

However, he still insisted: "Guo Qing, although Tuyuhun is a small country, it has always been my wish to take Tuyuhun into my Tang territory. Now you fulfill this wish for me, and I respect your wish A glass of wine, you are entitled to it. Come, drink this glass to the brim!"

Guo Ye couldn't see His Majesty Li Er's thoughts for a while, so he politely refused, expressing that he didn't dare to accept the king's toast.

For a while, the emperor was toasting, and the courtiers were humbly, and there was a bit of seesaw.

The old fox-like Yu Shinan hurriedly got up, took a glass of wine in his hand, broke the deadlock and said, "Haha, if your Majesty and Yizhou Marquis go on like this, the dishes will be cold. This is the first time this old minister has seen such a respectful scene. Why don't you suggest that we all drink this first glass of wine together to celebrate the expansion of our Great Tang's territory and territory?"

Kong Yingda also saw the opportunity and got up, raised the cup in his hand, and was echoed by water and wine: "Yes, yes, the Marquis of Yizhou was able to occupy Tuyuhun, although it was the first achievement, but His Majesty also contributed. If His Majesty did not send him out Even Tuyuhun, how could he have achieved what he has achieved today? If you plant melons, you will reap melons; if you plant beans, you will reap beans; the ruler, the virtuous, and the ministers are filial, and they complement each other and bring out the best in each other!"

Guo Ye secretly sighed in his heart, people are old-fashioned and old-fashioned, but these two old men can talk.

His Majesty Li Er naturally had a bright face when he heard the words, and he raised his glass to invite with satisfaction: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's drink this bar together."

After all, the four monarchs and ministers drank the water and wine in their cups, and then sat down one after another.

Empress Changsun poured fine wine for her husband in time, and Concubine Yang was not idle, and kept adding vegetables to His Majesty Li Er's bowl.

Several palace maids each carried wine jugs to fill Guo Ye and Yu Shinan with wine.

His Majesty Li Er took the lead in moving his chopsticks and Zhang Luo said: "Come on, three lovers, let's eat the food first. I will chat with you while eating. Let's also listen to the Marquis of Yizhou talk about the thrilling experience in Tuyuhun that day."

"I will obey your orders!"

In an instant, the three of them were no longer reserved, and moved their chopsticks one after another.

All of a sudden, the toasts were mixed, the silver chopsticks were shaking, and the family banquet was slowly going on in this harmonious atmosphere.

During this period, His Majesty Li Er naturally couldn't help asking about Guo Ye's situation in Tuyuhun that day.

Guo Ye already had a draft in mind, how to say it nicely, how to exaggerate it, and slowly talked about how to occupy Tuyuhun by accident.

Of course, only Guo Ye knows the truth of this matter.Anyway, the slapping and nonsense work is to brag about myself, the Xichuan Army, and the Wild Wolf Army as the only one who is the best in the world.

In the end, when the report was almost over, the dishes on the table were like wind and clouds, and there were not many left, and Guo Ye basically wiped them into his stomach. Who made this imperial banquet really delicious?

Facing Guo Ye's eating, drinking and embarrassing appearance, it is not surprising that His Majesty Li Er still had a smile on his face, and Empress Changsun was also pleasing to the eye, but Concubine Yang frowned slightly, disgusted by his vulgarity.

Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda knew that Guo Ye did it on purpose, so they just let it go and did not remind or stop them secretly.

In this way, His Majesty Li Er's family banquet almost came to an end.

While Guo Ye was still wiping his mouth, His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked: "Guo Qing, a few days ago, there was a debate in the court about the candidate for the Doctor Yushi. Both Yu Pushe and Kong Shangshu recommended you for this position. Do you think Woolen cloth?"

here it is~

Guo Ye said inwardly that it was as expected, and then rectified his flaws, saying: "Your Majesty, it is no secret that the debate over the selection of Mrs. Censor in the court is no longer a secret. I have also heard about it. I also heard that apart from humble ministers , other ministers also proposed candidates, such as Wen Yanbo, governor of Youzhou, and Yu Deshui, governor of Chang'an Prefecture. It is a great honor for me to be proposed to be a candidate alongside Wen and Yu. But I want to say , with my temperament and qualifications, I am not a good candidate for the imperial censor at all."

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Guo Ye in surprise, and exclaimed, "Oh? Guo Qing really thinks so?"

Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang also looked shocked, their eyes were full of disbelief, it's really strange that there are still officials in this world who are unwilling to be promoted.

Concubine Yang had a faint feeling of excitement in her heart, she secretly scolded Guo Ye for his ignorance of flattery and his stupidity.
