After Li Cunmiao, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, heard the news that the two brothers Li Cunba and Li Cunxiao died in Xishu, he wanted to mobilize the whole country to fight in Xishu, which made Prime Minister Guo Chongtao anxious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Don't look at Prime Minister Guo Chongtao's several times to advocate the destruction of Xishu, but his several propositions were only advocated when the time was basically ripe, this time the emperor's proposition was a very irrational proposition.

Of course, Guo Chongtao knows the harm of the emperor if he really does that.

If the emperor really does that, if he doesn't get it right, he will lose the country!

Guo Chongtao saw the emperor go up.

******

Guo Chongtao met the emperor in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

The palace is the place where the emperor works and rests, usually the emperor is not often in the palace of the heart, usually the emperor often lives in the place where his concubines live, and now because of "something", now the emperor can't take care of his concubines.

As soon as Guo Chongtao saw the emperor, he fell to the ground.

Guo Chongtao said: "Your Majesty, can you send troops to Xishu!" Right now....... ”

Guo Chongtao wanted to continue to say and explain the words to the emperor, but the emperor suddenly interrupted him.

At this time, the emperor didn't listen to anything.

The emperor shouted at Guo Chongtao: "You can still decide to destroy Xishu as a courtier, why can't I be a monarch?" ”

"...... this?"

The emperor stopped Guo Chongtao with a word.

Why?

The last time Guo Chongtao attacked Xishu, it was Guo Chongtao's own decision.

Last time, Xishu invaded Li Tang first, and the emperor asked Guo Chongtao to resist the enemy Xishu army, after the defeat of the Xishu army, Guo Chongtao then chased the Xishu army, Guo Chongtao chased the Xishu army to Luofengpo, and Guo Chongtao was defeated by Ling Yiren in Luofengpo.

The emperor's question about Guo Chongtao's words also makes some sense, last time I only let you resist the enemy Xishu army, who let you send troops to Xishu? To resist the enemy Xishu army is to drive the Xishu army out of their own country. After you drive the Xishu army out of the country, you should wait there for my order, I let you invade Xishu, you will invade Xishu, I will let you come back, you will come back, I will let you stand still there, you will stand still there. Last time, you invaded Xishu without my order, and as a result, my two brothers died in Xishu, and it would be good that I didn't say that I blamed you, and you still took care of it.

Here I have to explain that last time Guo Chongtao took it upon himself to attack Xishu, did Guo Chongtao not take the emperor seriously?

No. That's the need of war. If he waits for the emperor to tell him, and then waits for the emperor to make an order, maybe he will be able to delay the matter.

******

Guo Chongtao saw that the emperor was a little unhappy, and his heart trembled.

The emperor was unhappy, and everyone's heart trembled.

However, Guo Chongtao did not flinch.

Guo Chongtao said in his heart, I am dead, and I have to say what I should say.

Guo Chongtao is a loyal minister, can he only do it for his own comfort and not take the interests of the country seriously?

Guo Chongtao kowtowed to the emperor again, and he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the last time the Xishu was the fault of the minister, you can blame the minister as much as you want." However, what needs to be said has to be said. The minister was already wrong last time, and this time the emperor can't be wrong again and again. This time, the emperor invaded Xishu, but it was too timely. Now that we have just been founded, it is time for us to recuperate. Ordinary people are also in need of settlement after decades of war. Although our country is very large, there is not a lot of grain and grass, and there are not many young and middle-aged people in our country. The emperor was in Xishu at this time, and the ministers were afraid of ....... ”

Guo Chongtao's words are indeed like that, Li Tang has gone through decades of war, and the people in his country really need to recuperate, and there are indeed not so many grains and grasses and young adults in his country. If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to imagine that in the past few decades from the end of the former Tang Dynasty to the present, it was the Huangchao Uprising, the Zhu Wen Rebellion, and the continuous war between Li Tang and Zhu Liang. How can the common people farm when there is a war, and where will the food come from if the people can't farm the land? There were war-torn young people who were conscripted, and many young people died.

However, at this time, the emperor didn't listen to anything.

The emperor said: "The brothers of ordinary people were killed, and they still know revenge, let alone me." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "It is precisely because the emperor is different from ordinary people that the emperor's brother is dead, and the emperor can't just think about revenge." The brother of an ordinary person is dead, he can just want revenge and don't have to think about anything, the emperor's brother is dead, the emperor needs to think about national affairs first! ”

The emperor said: "I am desperate. Prime Minister Guo, go down. ”

The emperor knew that he couldn't talk about Guo Chongtao, and he wanted to drive Guo Chongtao down the palace.

Guo Chongtao said: "...... the emperor? ”

The emperor said, "Let you go down to the palace, it is my holy decree!" ”

"...... this?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Guo Chongtao had nothing to say.

The emperor said that it was the emperor's decree to let him go, who would dare to disobey the emperor's decree?

******

However, what should be said, Guo Chongtao still wants to say.

Because Guo Chongtao is very loyal to the emperor, he would rather die, and he will finish his words.

Guo Chongtao said: "Your Majesty, can you listen to the minister's words again and then drive the minister away?" ”

The emperor said, "Say it." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "The emperor won't know the story of Liu Bei's soldiers sending Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms, right? During the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yunchang carelessly lost Jingzhou, Guan Yunchang was killed by Jiangdong, after Liu Bei heard the news of Guan Yunchang's death, he insisted on sending troops to Jiangdong to avenge his brother Guan Yunchang, he didn't listen to anyone's words at that time, even Zhuge Liang's words He didn't listen, as a result, he was defeated in Yiling, and he returned to heaven in the White Emperor City! ”

"Ahh

Guo Chongtao's words stabbed the emperor's lungs.

Because Guo Chongtao cursed him in his words that he would lose this time, and he would die.

Guo Chongtao said in his words, Liu Bei didn't listen to Zhuge Liang's words back then, he insisted on sending troops to Jiangdong, but he was defeated, he died in the White Emperor City, if the emperor doesn't listen to the ministers, you will also be defeated, and you will also die.

Originally, Guo Chongtao was kind-hearted, because it was very bad for the emperor to send troops at this time, he wanted to persuade the emperor not to send troops, but the emperor only asked him to say one word, he was afraid of saying a word that was not very heavy, and he said that the emperor could not move, so he said such a heavy sentence.

Guo Chongtao didn't expect that his heavier words would make the emperor angry.

Guo Chongtao's sentence is indeed heavy enough, saying that the emperor will be defeated this time, saying that the emperor will die if he goes, who would dare to curse the emperor to death!

After the emperor listened to Guo Chongtao's words, he "snapped" the dragon book case, and he shouted at Guo Chongtao: "Guo Chongtao, you are so bold!" ”

Guo Chongtao thought at first that his words would make the emperor ignite the fire, and it would not set off any big "storm", but Guo Chongtao was wrong.

After Guo Chongtao finished saying that, he said to the emperor: "If the minister says, please think twice about the emperor, and the minister has left." ”

After Guo Chongtao finished speaking, he left.

Guo Chongtao didn't expect that this time the emperor was really angry.

The emperor shouted at Guo Chongtao: "Guo Chongtao, where are you going?" Just now I asked you to go, you don't go, you have to finish a sentence before leaving, I told you, now you can't go! ”

The emperor instructed his subordinates: "Come on, give Guo Chongtao to me ......." ”

The emperor was just about to say that he would pull Guo Chongtao out and kill me, but the emperor thought about it again, Guo Chongtao's credit is not small, and it is not easy for him to be born and die for my country, the emperor remembered that, and he suddenly changed his mind again.

The emperor instructed his subordinates: "Arrest Guo Chongtao!" ”

******

The emperor put Guo Chongtao in custody.
