Guo Chongtao's case was thus cleared.

On this day, the emperor held a banquet to entertain Guo Chongtao.

It can be regarded as a shock to Guo Chongtao.

It can be regarded as a goodwill approach to Guo Chongtao.

Of course, the emperor also hopes to have a good relationship with Guo Chongtao, who is so influential, so talented, and so able to contribute to the country in the future.

Besides, Guo Chongtao's contribution to the emperor is also world-famous, and the emperor doesn't want to lose a bad reputation for treating Guo Chongtao coldly.

At the banquet, the emperor explained to Guo Chongtao: "Prime Minister Guo, I hope that you won't pay too much attention to what happened that day in the future. ”

Guo Chongtao said: "The minister does not dare. ”

The emperor said: "Prime Minister Guo, when you were detained, Li Cunxiao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had looked for me. He has pleaded with me for you. At that time, I said that no matter what the truth of the matter is this time, I will not blame you. ”

Guo Chongtao said: "Thank you for the emperor's generosity to his ministers. ”

The emperor said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask him." ”

Guo Chongtao said: "How dare the minister not believe the emperor." ”

The emperor said, "I said it at that time. This time I just want to know the truth of the matter. At that time, what I said was that if it was you who were the first to flirt with Concubine Mei this time, I wanted to clear your name, and my ministers were wronged, and I should also clear their innocence; This time, if it was my concubine Mei Niangniang who you flirted with first, I would not have forgotten that you were once my hero, and I would not have dealt with you who had world-class military exploits. ”

Guo Chongtao said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern for the ministers. ”

The emperor did say what he was saying.

At that time, the emperor really thought so in his heart.

Between Guo Chongtao and the emperor, the clouds and fog dispersed like this.

******

What about Kong Qian?

The emperor once said that if Kong Qian could try Guo Chongtao's case well this time, he would make him the prefect of Luoyang. After Kong Qian tried Guo Chongtao's case, the emperor really made him the prefect of Luoyang.

After Kong Qian became the prefect of Luoyang, he was also very scared in his heart at times.

Kong Qianxin said: There is a lot of water in this case, and the culprit of this case is me, what will be the result of me in the future?

For what Kong Qian hesitated, the emperor did not think about it. When Kong Qian had just finished trying Guo Chongtao's case, the emperor began to suspect Kong Qian. The emperor said in his heart: Does Kong Qian really have such great ability? This case Li Siyuan didn't come out, Gao Qin didn't try it, Xie Gaoyu didn't try it, Kong Qian tried it?

However, Kong Qian was only suspicious.

However, the emperor also secretly sent someone to investigate.

******

In the days that followed, the emperor waited for new information about the case almost every day.

The emperor said in his heart: I must not let anything pass ambiguously in front of me. Why do I always suspect that there is something else going on with my Concubine Mei?

But at this time, something happened again.

On this day, the emperor was waiting for the new news of the case, and suddenly someone came to report: "Report, report long live the Lord learned that the big thing is not good, Wang Yan, the king of Xishu, commanded 200,000 troops to send to Chang'an!" ”

******

Is Wang Yan, the king of Western Shu, really here?

Not at all.

As mentioned earlier, the emperor Li Cunxuan did not unify the world. The area ruled by Emperor Li Cunmiao was probably from the Great Wall in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, the sea in the east, and part of Shaanxi in the west. To the south of his area of domination there are seven so-called states, large and small. Among these seven so-called kingdoms, there is one Xishu.

As mentioned earlier, the last stop of Guo Chongtao's southern trip was Xishu. When Guo Chongtao was in the south, Guo Chongtao also signed a non-aggression treaty between the Tang Dynasty and Western Shu with Wang Jian, the king of Western Shu.

Since Xishu and the Tang Dynasty have signed a non-aggression pact, why did Wang Yan, the king of Xishu, raise troops again?

Because this Wang Yan is not a good person.

Before Wang Yan's father Wang Jian died, Wang Yan's father Wang Jian didn't want to pass on the throne to him, but for various reasons, Wang Yan still became the king of Xishu.

After Wang Yan ascended the throne, he replaced all the people he thought were suitable.

The people Wang Yan thinks are suitable people, but they are actually people who are flattering and have little knowledge.

In the current Xishu Dynasty, the prime minister of the left class is Zhu Zhengfu, the prime minister of the right class is Ma Zhengfei, and the marshal of the soldiers and horses is De Yihai.

What kind of people are Zhu Zhengfu, Ma Zhengfei, and De Yihai?

Zhu Zhengfu doesn't have much to learn, but he can listen to whatever Wang Yan says.

Ma Zhengfei doesn't have much to learn, and he is also very good at flattery.

In addition, Ma Zhengfei also has a younger sister named Ma Yueyue, and his sister Ma Yueyue is also the so-called Zhenggong Niangniang of Wang Yan, the king of Xishu.

Although De Yihai is a bit strategic, he doesn't have many kind-hearted eyes.

In this way, Wang Yan, Zhu Zhengfu, Ma Zhengfei, and De Yihai got together.

******

On this day, Wang Yan and De Yihai, Zhu Zhengfu, and Ma Zhengfei discussed things together.

De Yihai said: "Your Majesty, that day the minister invited a god to give the emperor a hexagram, and the fairy said that the emperor and you will definitely be the true true dragon son in the future." ”

Wang Yan said: "Really? ”

De Yihai said: "Yes! ”

Zhu Zhengfu also accosted on the side: "Yes." That day, the minister also invited a god to tell the emperor a hexagram, and the fairy said the same. ”

Ma Zhengfei also accosted on the side: "Yes, that day the minister also invited a fairy to the emperor, and that fairy said the same." ”

Isn't this fooling people, how can there be gods in the world!

Kede Yihai, Zhu Zhengfu, and Ma Zhengfei knew that Wang Yan believed in God very much.

Since then, Wang Yan has had the heart to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Yan knew that if he was blessed by the gods and Buddhas, he would definitely be able to win.

That day, De Yihai also analyzed the power of Xishu and Datang in front of Wang Yan.

De Yihai said: "Don't look at Datang's current territory, but Datang has just been established and has not yet gained a stable foothold. Although Datang has many soldiers, his food and grass are insufficient. If we send troops to fight Datang at this time, we will definitely win. He was short of food and grass, and no matter how many soldiers he had, he would be defeated. ”

What De Yihai analyzed is indeed like that. Now Datang has just destroyed the powerful Zhu Liang. In the years when Datang and Zhu Liang went to war, many of the common people in China were conscripted to fight, and there were few people who farmed in the country, and his food was indeed insufficient.

Otherwise, how could Li Cunqing, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, send Guo Chongtao to the south and sign a non-aggression pact with the seven kings of the south. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Cunmiao, wanted to sign a non-aggression pact with the Seven Kings of the South, and he just wanted to find time to develop his national strength.

But what the Tang Emperor Li Cunqiao thought, De Yihai saw through it.

De Yihai also knew that if he didn't fight Datang now, after Datang recovered, Datang would beat him sooner or later.

******

On this day, there was another incident.

On this day, De Yihai was planning how to fight the Tang Dynasty, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that there were five people who wanted to see him.

De Yihai said: "Let them in!" ”

The five men who were going to see him came in.

De Yihai saw that one of the five people was a monk, four were laymen, the other was an old monk, and the four laymen were still very young, so it seemed that the monk was the leader.

De Yihai asked: "Who are you, do you want to see me, is there anything wrong?" ”

The monk said, "My name is Dao'an, and these four are my disciples, and their names are Qian 1, Qian 2, Qian 3, and Qian 4. Today we are going to see you, there is something important and important. ”

Dao An led the apprentices to see De Yihai, and then discussed major matters.
