Chapter 21: Flying Disasters (2)
Tonight, after the emperor heard the news that Guo Chongtao had returned, he wanted to see Guo Chongtao immediately. Because the emperor is very concerned about state affairs. He knew the importance of Guo Chongtao's mission this time. Therefore, as soon as the emperor heard that Guo Chongtao was coming, he immediately sent someone to call Guo Chongtao. After the emperor sent away the person named Guo Chongtao, he drank tea in the Yangxin Hall while waiting.
But at this time, something happened. At this time, the emperor saw a eunuch coming in a panic. The eunuch said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Go and take a look, Prime Minister Guo ......, he's too disagreeable! ”
As soon as the emperor heard that something was wrong, he hurried there.
After the emperor arrived at the place where the accident occurred, the emperor saw that he was angry. The emperor saw that Guo Chongtao was full of alcohol, Guo Chongtao's clothes were covered in mud, and Guo Chongtao's clothes were torn several big holes.
When the emperor looked at Guo Chongtao's side again, he saw that his Concubine Mei was also covered in mud, and he saw that his Concubine Mei Niangniang's clothes were also torn and there were a few big holes. What made the emperor even more ugly was that he saw that his Concubine Mei's pants were also torn twice, and a piece of white meat on his Concubine Mei's thigh could still be seen.
The emperor is angry. The emperor pointed at Guo Chongtao, and the emperor said angrily: "Guo Chongtao, ...... you, ...... you?" ”
Guo Chongtao was also frightened, Guo Chongtao hurriedly knelt down, and he distinguished: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" ”
The emperor was even more angry.
The emperor said in his heart: You have hugged my concubine like this, and you are still wronged!
The emperor said: "I am even more wronged! ”
The emperor instructed his subordinates: "Come on, give me Guo Chongtao ......." ”
The emperor was just about to say that he would push Guo Chongtao out for me and kill him, but the emperor was still the emperor after all, and the emperor said in his heart, I know Guo Chongtao very well, Guo Chongtao is not that kind of person! Guo Chongtao drank wine today, and he wouldn't have gone crazy to such an extent!
The emperor thought of this, and the emperor asked Concubine Mei again: "Concubine Mei, I will ask you again, what is going on?" ”
At this time, Concubine Mei was already trembling with fright.
Concubine Mei trembled and said: "......The emperor, the emperor, the ......, the concubine is wronged!" Just now, the concubine received the emperor's holy decree to pick up Prime Minister Guo. Who...... Who knows, as soon as Prime Minister Guo saw the concubine, he ......, so he hugged the concubine. The minister ......, the concubine saw that he had drunk, and the concubine also knew that Prime Minister Guo Cheng was the emperor's hero, and the concubine didn't want to pay attention to it. But ......, but Prime Minister Guo Cheng hugged his concubines to the death, and he just didn't let go. The concubine is just a weak woman, where can the concubine break free from his hands! The concubines ......, and the concubines became like this. ”
Guo Chongtao said in his heart: It's really a thief who bites into the bone for three points!
Guo Chongtao hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's not like that!" ”
The emperor said, "I'll let you tell me again, what's going on?" ”
Guo Chongtao said: "That's the case. Tonight, the ministers have obeyed the emperor's decree and come to the palace. When the minister rushed to the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the minister saw this lady. At that time, this lady was still wearing the clothes of Yahuan, and the minister did not know that this lady was the emperor's concubine. I don't know why, after this lady saw the minister, she didn't say a word, she hugged the minister. And then
......, and then the minister became like this. ”
What Guo Chongtao said is indeed the truth.
But Concubine Mei didn't do it, Concubine Mei was like crazy, she went crazy in front of the emperor.
Concubine Mei banged her head on the ground, and she said, "Prime Minister Guo, can't you spew blood!" You spew blood, the slave family can't stand it! You admit it, you're nothing. You are a meritorious minister of the emperor, you are at fault, and the emperor will forgive you, but the slave family is different, once the slave family has something, the life of the slave family will be gone! ”
Guo Chongtao said in his heart: What enmity do I have with you, you will harm me like this!
The emperor asked Guo Chongtao again: "Guo Chongtao, if what you said is true, you are a big man, Concubine Mei is a weak woman, if she is rude to you, hold you according to the theory, you are a big man, you can completely break free, why don't you?" Everyone saw it just now, you pressed my beloved concubine under your body, and you still want to beat my beloved concubine, how do you explain this? ”
"...... this?" Guo Chongtao is out of words.
The emperor said: "Guo Chongtao, you are full of flaws!" First, you are a big man with a strong body, if Concubine Mei, who is a weak woman, is rude to you first, and you don't break free from her, you can't explain it clearly; Second, everyone saw it just now, it was you who rode on my concubine, and you want to beat my concubine, and you can't explain it clearly. ”
At this time, Concubine Mei also added oil and vinegar.
Concubine Mei cried and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's all bad for the concubines, you send a decree to kill the concubines!" Please don't blame Prime Minister Guo Cheng, Prime Minister Guo Cheng is the hero, Prime Minister Guo Cheng is the pillar of the emperor's country, and the emperor can't do without Prime Minister Guo Cheng. ”
At this time, the emperor didn't want to ask much.
Because it's too late.
The emperor asked Guo Chongtao and Concubine Mei to be escorted down.
The emperor wants to deal with this matter tomorrow.
******
Guo Chongtao was imprisoned.
Guo Chongtao said in his heart: Who is deliberately harming me? Who could be this person who deliberately harmed me? Is it Li Siyuan, or Li Cunxiao? Is it Li Siyuan? No way! Li Siyuan is not that kind of person. Is it Li Cunxiao? It can't be either. Li Cunxiao is a martial artist, he will not hurt people with secret arrows, he is not so fine, and he is not that kind of person. Aside from them, no one cares too much about me, huh? Could it be the emperor? If it's really the emperor, then I'm really doomed. Is it really that the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking?
The more Guo Chongtao thought about it, the more frightened he became: Now there are major figures in the court, including the emperor, Li Siyuan, Li Cunxiao, and me.
The more Guo Chongtao thought about it, the more sad he became: For the sake of the emperor's country, I can say that I threw my head and spilled blood! Let's just say that a few days ago, I slept out for the emperor's country, and I was chased and killed by Dao'an for the emperor's country. A few days ago, I would never have thought that I would have worked so hard for the emperor's country, and that I would sleep in prison on the first night I returned to Beijing.
Guo Chongtao thought again: Could it be that when I lobbied Xishu that day, I didn't do what I should do for the people of Xishu, this is God's retribution for me? That day, I lobbied Xishu, I stayed in a hotel, and the owner of that hotel asked me to send a letter to their eldest son, Wang Xu, if I went, the whole Xishu would be safe. As a result, I didn't go. Now I heard that their eldest son, Wang Xu, was also killed, and the owner of the hotel was also killed, and the entire people of Shu were also in dire straits. If that's the case, I'm really dead.
******
Guo Chongtao was thinking nonsense, when someone came to pass on him again, saying that the emperor was going to see him again.
Guo Chongtao went.
Just now, the emperor was angry, after the emperor went back, the emperor thought about it carefully, the emperor said in his heart, I was only angry just now, how could I forget the big thing, I called Guo Chongtao this time, mainly to ask him, the result of his trip to the south this time? So, the emperor asked Guo Chongtao to pass it on again.
Soon, Guo Chongtao arrived.
When the emperor saw Guo Chongtao coming, he asked Guo Chongtao: "Prime Minister Guo, I called you here now, not to ask you about what happened just now." If you are really wronged by what happened just now, I will definitely clear your name. Now I just want to ask you, what was the result of your mission to the Seven Kings of the South? ”
Guo Chongtao said in his heart: If the emperor really wants to harm me this time, I really shouldn't take out this important contract! It's time for me to tear up this important contract.
But Guo Chongtao thought again: I don't want to make mistakes again. I'd better take out the important contract in my hand! Whoever he is to harm me! It's for the sake of the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire people of the world, I should also take it out!
Guo Chongtao thought of this, and he took out the important contract in his hand.
Guo Chongtao said to the emperor: "If you go back, the minister's trip to the south this time is very smooth, and the minister has already done what the emperor asked the minister to do." ”
The emperor took the important contract, and the emperor said, "Okay, you can rest first." ”
The emperor asked Guo Chongtao to be taken down again.
Guo Chongtao said: I don't know what my fate will be next?
