His Majesty Li Er sat upright in the middle, his face gloomy like water.

Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo, was shirtless, with two thorns tied to his back, and knelt straight in front of His Majesty Li Er. If you look closely, you can still see tear stains on his old face.

"Minister Guo Ye see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live"

"The Duke of Qin is exempt from the courtesy and gives the seat."

"Your Majesty"

After Guo Ye sat down, he glanced at Zhang Liang obliquely, and said: "Xun Guogong, if the crime of disrespecting the decree can be covered up by the guilt of Jing Jing, then what is the use of Zhenguan Law?"

Zhang Liang choked up and said, "Qin Guogong misunderstood. Zhang's confusion made a big mistake for a while, and almost put His Majesty in a place of no return. How dare you ask Your Majesty for extrajudicial grace for such a sin?"

"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing. You don't ask Your Majesty for extrajudicial favors, why do you engage in this trick?"

"That's because Zhang was afraid that His Majesty would be angry, so he asked His Majesty to hit twice to get angry. As for the crime of disrespect of a certain family, whatever punishment should be given to a certain family, I have no complaints. ”

Guo Ye was about to make a sarcastic remark, but His Majesty Li Er coughed and said, "It is indeed an unforgivable crime for the Duke of Xun to resist the decree, but listening to him, there is still a bit of bitterness. Qin Guogong might as well listen carefully. ”

"Obey Your Majesty's orders." Guo Ye said angrily.

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "There are three reasons why I want to be disrespectful in the first place. First, Xue Rengui's promotion process is too unbelievable, so I have to doubt the authenticity of the holy decree he preached. ”

Guo Yedao: "This is your hard work, but you didn't even look at it at the beginning, so you directly deduced that it was difficult to distinguish the truth of the holy decree." This kind of behavior can't be explained by doubting Xue Rengui."

"Well, that's just one of the reasons. There is a second reason for the disrespect of the decree. ”

"You speak."

According to what Qin Guogong said, he calculated the distance below. The soldiers and horses you brought with you were delayed by three days compared to the arrival time. Do you admit it"

"That's because I want to give time for my work, so I'm going slowly."

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "But Zhang is short-sighted, how can he recognize Qin Guogong's clever plan"

"This plan is not seen at all, and for the sake of absolute secrecy, not only did I not tell you, but even His Majesty did not tell me. Xun Guogong didn't think Guo's move was inappropriate"

"Don't dare. But in that case, Zhang didn't know what was going on, he was thinking wildly, and he doubted that Qin Guogong had some ulterior motives, whether it was excusable"

"What Can I Say?"

"If you want to talk about military power, in our Datang, except for Your Majesty, that is, you. If you intend to cut off Your Majesty's life here, and then support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. More than ten years later, the surname of the world is Guo or Li"

"You're a bloody squirter"

Zhang Liang stood up, bowed, and said, "Facts have proved that it is indeed a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. Here, I make amends to you."

"You" Guo Ye was blocked by him, and a mouthful of blood was so hung that it spurted out.

His Majesty Li Er saw that Guo Yeqi's face was blue and white for a while, and hurriedly said, "Isn't there a third reason for Xun Guogong?" ”

"As we all know, Weichen and Qin Guogong have always been at odds. Therefore, as soon as I heard this holy decree of His Majesty, I secretly resisted in my heart and was unwilling to submit to it. The original five points of doubt became ten points, and it was only then that such an unwise thing was done. All in all, it's still my narrow-mindedness. ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly and said, "Qin Guogong, you have heard these words of Xun Guogong clearly, right?"

"Hear me."

"That's good. The real reason for the rebellion of the Lord of the Lords can only be regarded as his momentary confusion in the final analysis. But to say that he was unfaithful to me would be a bit of an exaggeration. To be held accountable for this matter, my mistake is still greater. ”

"What's your business?"

"Of course it has something to do with me. If I hadn't let Xue Rengui be promoted to the thirteenth level in a row, I wouldn't have made Xun Guogong suspicious. The Duke of Xun Guo was already at odds with you, and I sent him to work with you, and this holy decree is not secure. ”

Guo Ye took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, you take all the responsibility on yourself, and Weichen has nothing to say." ”

His Majesty Li Er also knew that his words were a bit strong, but what could he do if he didn't

Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a crime of destroying the door.

Zhang Liang has been with him for so many years, and he has a deep affection. Disobeying the holy decree, and most of it is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Society, he can't watch this loyal old courtier die

Seeing that Guo Ye could not be persuaded for a while, His Majesty Li Er changed the topic and said: "The alliance of the Khitan and Xi tribes has made great contributions this time. How to use it in the future, I don't know what charter Qin Guogong has."

Guo Ye replied: "Weichen doesn't dare to say it." ”

"Don't dare to say" His Majesty Li Er was also a little angry, and said: "Do you regard me as the king of Shang, King Zhou Li?"

"Weichen didn't dare. Although His Majesty is not the king of Shang, but the Duke of Xun Guo is Fei Zhong, I am afraid that no matter how Wei Chen answers, he will be said to be ill-intentioned and plotting against him. ”

"How is that possible?"

Guo Ye said: "Of course it's possible." Now the coalition forces are similar in number to my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses. If Weichen said that the alliance of the two clans should be reused, Xun Guogong would say that Weichen won the hearts of the two clans, and this suggestion was to expand his own strength and plot against him. ”

His Majesty Li Er's face changed slightly when he heard this, this was really said by Guo Ye, Xun Guogong did say something similar just now.

According to Zhang Liang, Guo Ye pretended to be a ghost in the Khitan and claimed to be the incarnation of the Medicine King Buddha. Both clans revered him like a god, as if he were his personal soldier.

If he asked Qin Guogong how to use the two-clan alliance army, he would definitely ask for reuse, so that the two-clan alliance army could plunder Goguryeo and make a lot of war profits.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang's words were guessed by Qin Guogong. Could it be that what Xun Guogong said just now was indeed intended to frame him

His Majesty Li Er said: "Then what if you answer that you should not reuse the alliance of the two clans?"

"That's easy, too. Xun Guogong will say that Weichen regards the alliance of the two clans as his own strength, and he can't bear to let them storm the city and suffer casualties. All in all, Wechen replied no matter what. The Lord of the Honors will say that Weichen is selfish. ”

His Majesty Li Er glared at Zhang Liang fiercely and said, "Xun Guogong, do you think what Qin Guogong said is reasonable?"

Zhang Liang's face was flushed, and he said: "Weichen and Weichen are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain again." ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed lightly and said, "Qin Guogong, you don't have to be careful, I will never doubt you." What the hell do you think about it, just say it. ”

"Weichen thinks that it is better to let the alliance of the two clans return to China immediately."

"Why"

"There are three reasons for this. First, in this war, Goguryeo's all-conquering army has been defeated, and our country no longer needs the help of the coalition army. Second, after the tempering of the war, I am afraid that the coalition forces will be stronger to a higher level. This is not a good thing for my Datang. ”

"The third"

"Third, if they use the coalition forces to fight a tough battle, they will suspect that His Majesty sent them to death. Only using them to take advantage of the battle will make them think that my Datang is weak and can be bullied. In a dilemma, it is better to send them away early. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Actually, I and Qin Guogong's views are the same. However, the most fundamental reason is not what you said. ”

"Your Majesty means"

"Suddenly, there were 80,000 more cavalry, and one man and three horses. This man eats horses, and our logistics can't supply it. Otherwise, I would have sent 300,000 troops directly into Liaodong, so why should I rely on the power of the two clans."

"Your Majesty."

"Don't put a top hat on me. If I were really Shengming, I wouldn't have been trapped in Liaodong City. ”

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty, you have to think so, if you weren't trapped in Liaodong City, our Datang would not have had a chance to solve the main force of Goguryeo in a battle." You are destined for it, and you have made a mistake. ”

"According to what you say, it can be regarded as providence that I am trapped under the city of Liaodong this time."

Without waiting for Guo Ye to answer, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "You are my minister, you don't have to dig out your mind to please me, and you won't say anything about these sycophants in the future." ”

"Obey"

Feeling that his tone just now was a little stiff, His Majesty Li Er softened his tone and said, "Don't talk about this, let's get down to business." What kind of method did you use this time to cause chaos in the Goguryeo army?"
