The marquis of the Tang Dynasty was not valuable, although it was only a title, it was better than nothing. Guo Li comforted himself and had no interest in who would be the prince.

"The most important thing for the crown prince is the emperor's decision, and we only play a role in fueling the troubles, and we must not be known on the surface. Although Concubine Wu Hui is favored in the harem, if she wants to make the prince she gave birth to as the crown prince, she is bound to ascend to the sky. ”

"Wang Hui, Pei Yang, Li Kailuo, Zhang Jiuling, Chu Wuliang...... These people are all in support of the Great Prince. The princess said several names in a row, and Guo Li understood that the dispute between the princes and these people would be involved in the court dispute.

"Whose side are the three prime ministers Zhang Shuo, Yuan Qianyao, and Chen Jiachong on?" Guo Li asked, but he didn't expect that after asking, the princess and Meng Haoran looked at him at the same time, and they seemed to look at Xiaobai in their eyes.

Did you say the wrong thing?

"Doesn't the husband know that the prime minister of the court and the central government cannot interfere in the affairs of the prince? During the period of Empress Wu, Empress Wu asked Prime Minister Di Renjie who should be the crown prince? Di Renjie knelt down again and again until Empress Wu pardoned his innocence, and Di Gongfang used a metaphor to say who should be the crown prince. ”

"What did Di Renjie say?" Guo Li had never heard of this history and was full of curiosity.

Di Renjie asked rhetorically, who is closer to aunt and nephew or mother and son? The minister heard that the mother and son could build a temple, but did not hear that the nephew enshrined his aunt in the temple. "Although the princess said lightly, who can understand the danger?"

Guo Li hugged Baguio and said for half a night. Xiao Biesheng is newly married, but unfortunately Baguio has a big belly, and Guo Li has to endure it. Baguio had the heart to let Chunshui serve, and Guo Li pushed it. Baguio listened to Guo Li talk about how to break Tubo and how to repel the Murowei tribe, and heard that Guo Li personally went into battle to fight, although her husband was beside her, Baguio was still secretly worried in her heart. Speaking thoughtful words, Baguio didn't know when to fall asleep.

Guo Li lay down for a while, and heard the husband get up and light the oil lamp, Baguio was sleeping sweetly, the belly was obviously bulging, and the immature face was slightly like a young woman. After a while, Chunshui only wore a middle coat and brought a basin of hot water to serve.

"Haven't slept all night?" Guo Li asked, this is the time to fall asleep.

"I slept until I woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that my uncle might have to go to the morning court, the slave maid boiled the hot water and waited, who knew that the hot water had just been boiled and saw that the lights in the house were on, and the slave and maid thought that my uncle was afraid that he was going to go to the morning court today, so he hurried over to have a look."

After Guo Li finished washing, Chunshui had already served a cup of hot tea beside him.

"Baguio is physically inconvenient, and intends to let the spring water serve ......"

Before Guo Li finished speaking, Chunshui said happily: "Miss really said that?" ”

"Let's talk about this matter when we move into a new house," Guo Li's words wanted to pour a basin of cold water into the brazier, and the spring water looked gloomy.

Guo Li stretched out his hand to hold Chunshui's hand and said, "Sooner or later, it will be a member of the Guo family, so grow your body first." ”

Chunshui burst into tears and laughed, puffed up his chest and said without shame: "Didn't the master have been yesterday..."

Guo Li just walked to the door of the mansion, Li Mei didn't know when he had arrived by his side and opened the door, "Master Hou went out, how can there be no guards around?" ”

Guo Li didn't say much, Li Mei is a descendant of Li Chong, and he is the same generation as Wan An, Guo Li will not treat Li Mei and Jianhu as current people.

The morning dawn looms, but the sun has not yet risen. The street was sparsely deserted, and it was only when I walked near Changle Fang that I saw people one after another. Yesterday, he asked hundreds of officials to wait in the space outside Guanghua Gate, Guo Li was ashamed in his heart and deliberately looked for a remote area to walk for fear of being recognized, but he didn't expect that someone was waiting in secret.

"Congratulations to Lord Guo on becoming a marquis, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Lord Guo is the first to be named a marquis." The old general Wang Hui said. Guo Li's Liyang County Marquis is the title of Zheng Sanpin, and Dali Siqing is also Zheng Sanpin, in terms of rank alone, Guo Li is the same as Wang Hui.

"Thanks to the old general's recommendation, otherwise Guo Li would still be in prison in the Criminal Department."

"The old man is waiting here just to ask Ziyi a word, Zhang said that the emperor is going to Mount Tai to seal Zen, what does Ziyi think?"

Hearing the old general call Ziyi, Guo Li was panicked.

"How can Guo Li be so valued by the old general, as for the emperor's enshrinement of Zen, Guo Li has just returned to Beijing and has not yet pondered it."

The old general looked disappointed.

The Wangxian Gate opened, and courtiers entered one after another, Guo Li said to the old general: "The matter of sealing Zen, there is something good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom." The old general need not worry about this. ”

Wang Hui was about to speak, Zhang Shuo walked over, "I heard that Lord Guo was made a marquis, and the old man congratulated Lord Guo." ”

"Thank you for the kindness of Lord Zhang's recommendation, and Guo will report it in the future." Guo Li said, if it weren't for Wang Hui and Zhang Shuo's recommendation that day, Guo Li wouldn't know when he would come out of the prison for a while.

The three of them walked towards Wangxianmen, and on the way they met Chen Jiachong, the right servant of Shangshu Province, Guo Li arched his hand, Chen Jiachong smiled, I don't know what he was thinking? The three provincial officials of the menxia province, Zhongyuan Qianyao, the left scattered cavalry chief servant Ma Huaisu, and the right scattered cavalry chief servant Chu Wuliang walked together, and met Zhang Jiuling of the Hanlin Academy and Pei Guangting, the imperial historian, Guo Li bowed his head and signaled, seeing Chengyu Wenrong and Li Linfu walking together in the imperial history, Guo Li ignored it. Yu Wenrong's impeachment has long been informed of Guo Li. Pei Lingxian and Guo Qianqian of the military followed behind the old general, and when they entered the Wangxian Gate, a young man suddenly came straight to Guo Li.

"Xiaguan Dali Temple Shaoqing Mingqi has seen Lord Siqing." Ming silicon looks good.

"The officials of Dali Temple do not have a holy decree and do not need to go to the early court." Guo Li thought that this young secretary didn't know this rule when he first came.

"Xia Guan understands, but he has admired Lord Siqing for a long time, and he came to the early dynasty in his heart."

A fan of Guo Li? How can there be such a thing?

Today's early dynasty is destined to be in turmoil, Li Longji sat on the dragon chair and found that Guo Li had come to the palace. Colliers sang, as always: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

"Minister, in the imperial history, Cheng Yu Wenrong impeached Lord Guo of Dali Temple. Yesterday, hundreds of officials greeted outside Guanghua Gate, and Guo Shaoqing actually made a detour to Chunming Gate, treating hundreds of officials as mustard. ”

Yu Wenrong was menacing and took the lead in giving Guo Li a dismount. What's wrong with you being the general of the West? What happened to you being the Hou of Liyang County? The impeachment should be impeached.

No one spoke to the hundred officials, and speaking for Guo Li at this time was to oppose the hundred officials.

Guo Li was just about to stand up and defend himself, but he heard a person stand up behind him: "Minister, Dali Temple Shaoqing Mingqi thinks that Yuwen Zhongcheng's impeachment is unreasonable. The minister only heard the monarch and the minister, but never heard the minister, Lord Guo first saw the monarch and then saw the minister, and the way of the monarch and the minister. When the minister heard about Taizong in the past, he once praised Wei Zheng's words and advice like a mirror, Lord Yuwen was so confused about the concept, and he was not worthy of being called a mirror, and the minister thought that Lord Yuwen was overkill and belonged to the frame. ”

The ministers were in an uproar, when did Dali Temple have such a person who could speak well?

Mingqi not only dismissed Yu Wenrong's impeachment as it was, but also brought out the story of Taizong and Wei Zheng, and directly said that Yu Wenrong was not worthy of being the imperial history. What's even more infuriating is that Yu Wenrong can't defend himself, people even brought out Emperor Taizong, you can't say that Emperor Taizong is wrong, right?

Guo Li was secretly proud after hearing this, this little fan brother is good and promising.

Sure enough, Yu Wenrong did not defend himself with a dark face, waiting for the emperor's holy judgment.

"Guo Qing's family entered the city to see me, which is in line with the way of the monarch and the minister. Yuwenrong retreated. ”

"Minister, the Chinese book ordered Zhang to say that there was something to play. Since the ascending the throne of the Holy Heavens, the rule of culture and martial arts, recently there has been a great defeat in Tibet, the expansion of the small sea of the grand event, the ministers advised the emperor to comply with the will of heaven, the enshrinement of Mount Tai. I heard that the Viga Khan and the Turgian Shi Zhongshun Khan had a heart, and the emperor could invite them to go together. ”

"Minister, the provincial source of the door is opposed. Feng Chan Tai involves too much, and the emperor's safety cannot be guaranteed for a long distance, not to mention that Feng Chan Tai Tai is seriously disturbing the people. Please also ask Your Majesty to think twice. ”

"Minister, Wang Hui, the secretary of the military department, opposes His Majesty's enshrinement of Mount Tai. Since the reform of the government military system, although the recruitment system has recruited 130,000 people, it is far less than the 450,000 in the past. Touring Mount Tai in the east, the ministers are afraid that the ministers and thieves will cause chaos and disaster to the country. ”

"Minister, Imperial History Li Linfu advises His Majesty to comply with the will of Heaven to enshrine Mount Tai..."

"Minister, in the imperial history, Cheng Yuwen Rong advised His Majesty to obey the will of heaven to seal Mount Tai..."

"Shang Shuwei of the Ministry of Punishment resisted and advised His Majesty to comply with the will of heaven and seal Mount Tai..."

Guo Li looked at it, and the people who prevented the emperor from going to Mount Tai to seal Zen were all loyal ministers, and most of the traitors who advised the emperor to go up to seal Zen. The emperor led hundreds of officials to the east, and spent countless grains and grass along the way, which was even greater than the consumption of fighting at the border pass. Therefore, the reason for Wang Hui's opposition is to disturb the people.

"What about Guo Qing's opinion?" Li Longji suddenly asked Guo Li.

The eyes of the hundred officials all focused on Guo Li's body, and Li Longji threw this hot potato to Guo Li, obviously asking Guo Li to come forward to agree with Taishan's idea of sealing Zen. It's just that in this way, Guo Li can't help but offend the upright courtiers in the court. After weighing the pros and cons, Guo Li finally stood among the courtiers.

"Minister, Dali Temple Qing Guo Li thinks that it is okay to conform to the will of heaven to seal Mount Tai, just pay attention to the time. Now that the treasury surplus is insufficient, the rash eastward tour is only afraid of increasing the burden on the imperial court. The minister thought that it was better to Feng Chan Taishan when the wind and rain were good. ”

Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, and Guo Li said what he wanted to hear.

"The Tiantai of the Imperial Court inspected the celestial phenomena and determined the date of the eastern tour. Feng Wang Hui was the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and he led the army department to Shangshu, and Lingzhou went to take up his post on the same day, closely monitoring the movements of the Wei tribe. ”

The dust settled on the matter of Feng Chan Taishan, and Guo Li gave an answer that was satisfactory to both parties.

Zhang Shuo and others succeeded in admonishing them, and they were naturally happy; Yuan Qianyao and Wang Hui failed to dissuade him, and a few years after the emperor's eastern tour, Wang Hui served as the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and the emperor obviously had the intention of transferring the old general.

At the end of the early dynasty, Guo Li was about to leave when he was stopped by Gao Lishi.

"The emperor said that Lord Guo did not come to Xingqing Palace from time to time." Colliers finished speaking and retreated.

Li Longji didn't know what to ask?

"Lord Guo, the emperor named Lord Guo as the Marquis of Liyang County, it just so happens that the house of Duke Chu is empty, if Lord Guo doesn't dislike it, the old man will send someone to pick up and pick up for Lord Guo?" Guo Li just walked to the door of the main hall, but he didn't expect Yang Chongli, the head of the household, to wait outside the door.

"Duke of Chu?"

"Secretary and supervisor Jiang Jiao."

Because of the leakage of the news that the emperor was going to be abolished, Jiang Jiao, the secretary and supervisor who was punished by Chen Jiachong's cane. Guo Li didn't know that the other party still had the title of Duke of Chu. The scale of Guofu is a bit small now, and I didn't expect the speed of the household department to be so fast.

"There is Master Lao Shangshu, Guo can't ask for it." This matter is extremely face-saving, and there are only a handful of people who can make Yang Chongli, the old scholar of the household department, worry about it.

When he returned home, he told Baguio and the princess the good news, and Baguio exclaimed: "The mansion of the Duke of Chu is in Quchifang, adjacent to the Qujiang River, and Ziyi has picked up the treasure this time." ”

Since the princess is satisfied, it shouldn't be bad to come to the mansion of the Duke of Guo, Guo Li thought about how to plan and clean up the old mansion.

After lunch, Guo Li went to Xingqing Palace under Li Mei's escort. The biggest gain of the trip to the grassland is that Li Mei was able to get a guard with similar skills as Jianhu, and his own safety was guaranteed. If he encounters Chen Shuxiong again, he will not let him escape as easily as last time.

"Qing went to the grassland this time, what is the situation of these grassland tribes?" Li Longji asked.

"The tribes of Turgish, Qarluq, and Chuyue were subordinated to the Tang Dynasty, and now the territory of the Tang Dynasty extends to Persia in the west, Xiaohai in the north, Silla in the east, and Annam in the south. The Murowei tribe has not yet returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the minister thought that he should send an envoy to appease him. "Guo Li, with the power of the Tang Dynasty at the moment, I am afraid that any grassland tribe will have to bow its head.

"Qing just took someone's territory and went to appease him in a blink of an eye, which is a bit too bullying. Today, I came to Qing to ask if Mr. Li came back last time? I've been thinking about Mr. Li lately, so I'll go with me again? ”

Can the emperor's request be refused? What's more, Guo Li also wanted to go to Mr. Li's house to thank him personally.

Li Longji, Gao Lishi, Guo Li, and Li Mei quickly walked to Mr. Li's residence in Lizheng Fang.

Nazha opened the door, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried.

"Dashuai, hurry up and go in and see."

Guo Li's heart sank, and he didn't care about humility and flashed in, and Li Longji and Gao Lishi followed.

Mr. Li sat on the futon, facing the statue of Sanqing, and Jianhu stood beside him.

Seeing Mr. Li, Guo Li was relieved.

"Lord Guo came just in time, the old man is about to feather, there is something to ask Lord Guo for help."

"Mr. please, Guo will live up to his trust if he does it."

"From now on, Jianhu will be entrusted to Lord Guo." After the old gentleman finished speaking, Jianhu knelt on the ground at Guo Li.

"Old gentleman, someone saw that the old gentleman is coming." Guo Li saw that the old gentleman never turned around and put the emperor aside.

"Please forgive me for the inconvenience, who is here?" The old gentleman asked.

"Taizong's great-grandson Li Longji has seen the old man." Li Longji is also a cultivator and knows what feathering means. The old gentleman can predict the time of feathering, and he is obviously a master.

"Now that the emperor is coming, the old man can't face it. If it is prosperous today, the emperor has done a good job, and he is worthy of being a descendant of the Li family. Jianhu is a descendant of Li Chong and was adopted by his husband. The descendants of the Li family are withered and scattered..."

Jianhu couldn't cry...

"The hair is sparse, and the illusion withers; The birds sing and the flowers bloom, and the truth of self-nature is recognized. Idiot, don't be so sad and sad..."Mr. Li's voice became lower and lower.

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely take care of the descendants of the Li family..."

Before Li Longji finished speaking, Jian Hu suddenly cried: "The old gentleman has gone to the Feather Immortal,"

Guo Li stepped forward to check that Mr. Li was really feathered, and his body remained in a sitting position and gradually became cold.

"What's the name of Sword Lake?" Li Longji asked.

"Ancestor Li Wen, Jianhu only knew the surname Li since he was a child, and he had no name." Jianhu knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was the current emperor.

"Is Jianhu willing to enter the court as an official?" Li Longji asked, if Jianhu agreed at this time, I am afraid that he would be able to get an official position immediately.

"The old gentleman told Jianhu to follow Master Guo, and Jianhu obeyed the old man's orders."
