Chapter 1688: Zhou Gui, the pawn who crossed the river
"The Son of Heaven is welcome?"
"Exactly! The old general Wei Chi told me to wait and tell you about this in advance. He said that there must be something strange in this matter, and you should be careful and prepare in advance. ”
Guo Ye was confident, and said with a slight smile: "You go back and tell my brother, don't worry!" Zhang Liang was at the suburban welcome ceremony, and it was good not to play any tricks. If he really doesn't know how to provoke me Guo someone, I will let him steal chickens and not lose a handful of rice! ”
……
……
Guo Ye was originally able to go to Chang'an City in three days, but the Son of Heaven greeted him, and the etiquette was not light, so he was forced to rest in Baqiaoyi for two days, and it was not until the fifth day that he came to Changle Slope.
At this time, on the Changle slope, the water is poured on the street, and the loess mat road.
His Majesty Li Er is the leader, and the civil and military officials are divided into left and right. Behind him, 100,000 royal forest troops, divided into five teams, flags and banners were displayed, and trumpets were fluttering.
Such a big battle is just to welcome one person, that is Guo Ye, Guo Ziyi, the Duke of Qin.
The sound of silk and bamboo, a few bursts of elegant music have been played.
Guo Ye knelt on the ground and said, "Wechen was ordered to send an envoy to Silla this time, firstly, to canonize Queen Jindeman of Silla Seondeok. Second, it is to mediate the disputes between the three countries. Lai Your Majesty Longwei, Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored. Queen Seondeok has accepted Her Majesty's canonization, and the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla have also vowed never to attack each other! ”
His Majesty Li Er said: "The three kingdoms have been attacking and killing each other for hundreds of years, resulting in the destruction of lives and the displacement of the people, and the misery. I am the co-master of the world, every time I think about it, I feel the same way, and I can't sleep at night......"
The suburbs of Tianzi welcome this kind of thing, it sounds very beautiful, but in fact, it is really immersive, and it is also tiring. His Majesty Li Er spoke at length for a while, and Guo Ye was drowsy when he heard it!
Until the end, I heard His Majesty Li Er say: "...... Qing Yi will make new contributions, how can I be stingy with the reward of the king? ”
Guo Ye bowed down again and thanked him, and His Majesty Li Er ordered him to stand up. The next procedure should be that His Majesty Li Er helped Guo Ye to get on the horse to show his favor.
At this moment, I saw the yellow dust rolling in the distance, and a horse roared over, and the person on the horse shouted: "Eight hundred miles urgent!" Eight hundred miles expedited! ”
Eight hundred miles in a hurry, it seems that something really happened, His Majesty Li Er frowned, and said, "Bring him up!" ”
"Yes!"
After a while, the person who reported the news had already been brought to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er said, "Who are you?" What is the 800-mile expedited? ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is Zhou Gui, the director of the Shuikou City Division."
"Mizukou City? Is it Sukou Fortress at the junction of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje? His Majesty Li Er frowned tightly and said, "Could it be that the Three Kingdoms are fighting again?" These are barbarians, fearful of power but not virtuous. As soon as Qin Guogong came back, he reneged on the alliance and repented, is this a deception? Deception? ”
"I didn't ...... Between the three kingdoms, there was no war. These 800 miles are urgent, and they are talking about other news. ”
His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice: "Except for the accident of the war between the Three Kingdoms, what other news can Shuikou City have that is worth eight hundred miles of urgency?" Zhou Gui, do you know the consequences of using the 800-mile expedited without authorization? ”
"Wechen understands, Wechen doesn't dare!" Zhou Gui knocked his head like a chicken chopping rice, and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian: A year ago, the headquarters of the bad people once issued an order that as soon as you get the news of that person, you must expedite it for eight hundred miles and report it to Your Majesty." Weichen's move was completely on orders. ”
His Majesty Li Er looked at Zhang Liang suspiciously, and said, "A year ago? ”
Zhang Liang was confused, and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! Why doesn't my father remember such a thing? Who is worth the 800-mile rush to deliver the message? ”
"You can't go wrong. Grandpa Guo, his subordinates did receive an order, saying that as soon as he found the whereabouts of the Pipa Girl, he should urgently report to His Majesty for 800 miles, which ...... This is the original text of the order......" As he spoke, Zhou Gui stretched out his hand from his arms and took out a brocade box.
"Pipa Girl?" His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Pipa Girl?" ”
Zhou Gui said: "Your Majesty, Weichen just knew the news of the Pipa Girl. As for his whereabouts...... I'm afraid you'll have to ask another person. ”
"Another person?" His Majesty Li Er learned the news of the Pipa Girl, and was in a good mood, chuckled, and said, "Zhou Gui, don't play tricks." Later, you will make a list, and I will reward all the meritorious soldiers this time! What another person? Left and right aren't things that are internal to you bad people? Now, all you have to do is tell me, where is the Pipa Girl? ”
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! Weichen is not for others to ask for merit and reward, I really don't know the specific whereabouts of the Pipa Girl, and the one who knows the whereabouts of the Pipa Girl is indeed not our bad people. ”
"Who's that?"
Zhou Gui glanced at Guo Ye and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything here, and I hope that Your Majesty will leave it right." ”
His Majesty Li Er instantly understood what Zhou Gui meant, which was due to the scruple of Guo Ye's presence.
I understand, but I understand, but His Majesty Li Er really can't drive Guo Ye away. At the suburban welcome ceremony, it would be too unreasonable to branch out the protagonist of this ceremony and whisper to a secret agent. Isn't this a clear telling the world that he doesn't trust Guo Ye? So what's the point of this suburban ceremony?
His Majesty Li Er's face sank, and said, "Zhou Gui, who knows the whereabouts of the Pipa Girl, tell me quickly!" Could it be that you still dare to bargain with me? ”
"Weichen doesn't dare!" Zhou Gui said: "The one who knows where the pipa girl is, it is not someone else, but the Duke of Qin." ”
As soon as Zhou Gui appeared, Guo Ye knew that the words were coming! Obviously, Zhou Gui's trip was instructed by Zhang Liang to slander himself.
Thinking about it, if this lid is lifted by Zhang Liang, His Majesty Li Er will certainly hate himself in the past. But for Zhang Liang, I'm afraid there are no good ideas, and when Guo Ye raids his family and exterminates the family, it will be difficult for Zhang Liang to have a good end. However, it is different for Zhou Gui to lift the lid.
Zhou Gui is just a small person, he is ordered to do things, and he will not be able to enter the eyes of His Majesty Li Er at all, and he will not be angered by His Majesty Li Er. Besides, even if Zhou Gui was really angry with His Majesty Li Er...... What's the matter with Guan Zhangliang?
However, Zhou Gui's departure is very disadvantageous to himself! It took me a long time to set up this game within a game. The pit is Zhang Liang and Li You, the king of Qi, if only Zhou Gui is pitted. Isn't that a knife used to kill chickens? Besides, his dignified Qin Guogong has a dispute with a Zhou Gui, and there is no glory if he wins!
No, Zhang Liang and Li You can't be allowed to sit firmly on Diaoyutai, they have to be dragged into the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Guo Ye pretended to be stunned and said, "Pipa girl? Ben Gong doesn't even know what the pipa girl looks like, let alone her whereabouts? Zhou Gui, are you making a mistake? ”
Zhou Gui sneered and said, "If you don't know, you can't do it unless you don't do it." Qin Guogong, now, in front of Your Majesty, do you still want to cover the sky with one hand? ”
Guo Ye pouted and said, "It seems that you believe that my father knows the whereabouts of the pipa girl." I don't know anything about this father, but I have to ask Director Zhou for advice. ”
"Qin Guogong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"I'm surprised, you keep saying that you already know the whereabouts of the Pipa Girl. But how can you, a little director of the Shuikou Castle Division, know what the Pipa Girl really looks like? Don't say it's you, it's the official, and you only hear of its name, but you haven't seen any anger. How sure are you that the person you have met is the Pipa Girl? ”
Zhang Liang said: "Qin Guogong, let me explain this problem." Because we have a portrait of a pipa girl, Zhou Gui according to the map, what he saw should be the pipa girl herself. ”
Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty, you are not doing this right. Weichen was ordered to take full charge of the case of the Tianfu monk, and the search for the pipa girl should also be included in this case. But why didn't you give the portrait of the Pipa Girl to Weichen, but the bad people had a copy in their hands, what is the reason? ”
His Majesty Li Er's face changed, and he said, "Zhang Liang, what the hell is going on?" I don't remember the portrait I gave you, where did you get it? Could it be that you bad people are secretly spying on me......"
Speaking of the last sentence, His Majesty Li Er's tone was already extremely calm!
