2233 Retreat or Advance? (Above)
As soon as His Majesty Li Er's words came out, it seemed to have the effect of reversing the laws of physics.
When the prince's confession was read just now, several eunuchs had to read it together. Now, His Majesty Li Er just asked casually, his tone was not stern, and his voice was not high, and as a result, there was silence inside and outside the hall.
People didn't even dare to take a breath of air, and the audience was silent, as if the needles were falling.
It can cause this effect, without it, the atmosphere is contagious.
Those who could hear clearly were all frightened, and their faces were solemn. Even those who didn't know what was going on were shocked by this strange atmosphere and were silent.
How will Guo Ye answer His Majesty Li Er's question?
If he says Your Majesty, you are doing the right thing, then of course it is hello, hello, hello, everyone.
But is that possible?
Guo Ye has been the crown prince and the prince, so he is naturally the one who is in the same boat as the prince, and he is at odds with the king of Qi. If the crown prince is deposed, his future can be said to be ruined. One day when King Qi ascends the throne, it is possible that he will be exterminated.
Early death and late death are deaths, why doesn't he fight to the death?
His Majesty Li Er can abolish Fang Xuanling in a few words, and he can order Wei Chigong to be imprisoned, even if he orders Li Ji to retire, it doesn't take much effort.
But it is by no means easy for Guo Ye.
Who is Guo Ye? Although he doesn't have any office other than an empty knighthood now, let's not forget who he was before.
The Book of Rites, the Chang'an Order, the General of the Leading Guard, the Lord of the Lijing Gate and the Commander of the Bad People.
Even if the Ministry of Rites is still in the book, the key is other functions. These functions are all related to military power, and they are military power in Chang'an City.
It can be said that in addition to the personal guards of His Majesty Li Er, Guo Ye has been the boss of all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an City.
After so many years, who would believe that Guo Ye did not put a private person in it?
Taking a step back, even if Guo Ye is really as pure as a white lotus and has not installed a cronie, so what?
Guo Ye has money in his pocket, does not embezzle or take bribes, and is fair and honest. For officers and soldiers, there is only kindness, and there is absolutely no resentment. Now that he is innocently degraded, there are definitely many people who complain about him.
To deal with this kind of person, theoretically speaking, there is only a slow figure. First punish his henchmen, cut off his tiger power, and then convict himself. Now it is too dangerous to directly overlord and it is likely to cause a big chaos.
Of course, even if there is a riot, the final victor will definitely be His Majesty Li Er. But it's impossible to say how many people will die in the process. It is even more unclear whether the people present and their families will be safe and sound!
Not only that, these are relatively only "distant worries", and now there are "near concerns"!
Guo Ye is a famous fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, what if there is a storm?
Although it is unlikely, what if he really succeeds in killing His Majesty Li Er and supporting the crown prince to succeed to the throne?
How should everyone stand in line?
It's about everyone's net worth and life, how can everyone relax?
At this time, the most nervous person was Li Daliang, his body was a little stiff, his tongue was a little stiff, and he looked at Guo Ye without blinking.
Suddenly, Guo Ye moved.
He took a step forward, and Li Daliang also went to His Majesty Li Er's side to make do.
He bowed, and Li Daliang clenched the sword at his waist.
He knelt down, and Li Daliang's eyes straightened!
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "The thunder, rain and dew are all heaven's grace, and there is nothing wrong with the decision made by Your Majesty. ”
Li Daliang was a little dumbfounded immediately, Guo Ye was stunned! He was cowardly! What's going on? Shouldn't it be Guo Ye who suddenly made a move, stood in front of His Majesty, escorted himself to death, and fought for a name of loyalty and righteousness through the ages?
It doesn't make sense!
Could it be that this world-famous Qin King Chitose turned out to be a soft egg?
His Majesty Li Er also seemed to be a little surprised by Guo Ye's answer, and said, "You support me in abolishing the crown prince." ”
"Exactly."
"Then who should succeed the crown prince?"
"This is a family affair of the prince, and His Majesty can make his own decisions."
"Guo Ye, you raise your head."
"Yes."
His Majesty Li Er stared into his eyes and said word by word: "What if I want to make King Qi the crown prince?" ”
"The minister respectfully obeys the edict."
"Well, what King Qin said is very much in line with my intentions. Then the matter was decided, and a ceremony was held three days later, and the king of Qi was appointed as the crown prince. ”
Is that okay too?
Grabbing the beginning of the conversation, he is about to make King Qi the crown prince, and it seems that His Majesty Li Er is too impatient.
People looked at each other and felt that their original inferences were not very reliable. Could it be that the crown prince was really framed by His Majesty?
However, before they could think about this matter clearly, His Majesty Li Er's second will came again.
He said: "Li Ji is about to return to his hometown, and the post of leading the army to fight the general of the Weifu cannot be vacant, so General Xue Wanche will take over." King Qin, what do you think? ”
One sheep is also driving, and the two sheep are also leading, Guo Ye said: "The minister has no objection." ”
"What about the other Aiqing's opinions?"
The ministers said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
His Majesty Li Er said again: "As for Wei Chigong's position as the secretary of the military department, it will be taken over by Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo. ”
At this time, Guo Ye didn't wait for him to ask, and said with the ministers: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
……
……
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Guo Ye fully felt what it means to be warm and cold, and the world is cold. It was as if he had contracted the plague, and when the ministers saw him, they all stayed away. It seems that if you say a word to yourself, you will be infected, and the whole family will die.
Of course, he was determined, and he didn't care about the attitude of his ministers, so he didn't feel much depressed.
When he returned home, he gathered ten wives and concubines, talked about today's events, and then said: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, it seems that we can't build a country overseas." Pack up your beloved belongings and get ready to go to Silla with me. ”
Chai Xiuxiu, of course, was reluctant to live in Silla, and said, "Is the matter really that serious? How much have we been through? Isn't it all about saving the day? Not a chance at all this time? ”
Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Of course there is no chance." This time is different from the past, it was someone else who framed me before, and after finding out the truth, His Majesty is still on my side. But this time, it was His Majesty who killed me. ”
"You mean ...... today"
"Yes, at that time, if one of my answers was incorrect, His Majesty would order the samurai in front of the palace to take me down. It could even be said that he asked that question on purpose, hoping that I would resist. ”
"Then he is not afraid of causing turmoil in the DPRK?"
Guo Ye sighed and said, "Maybe he thinks that if he can get rid of me, even if it is worth paying the price of the turmoil in the court." ”
"How can Your Majesty do this to you? How much credit have you made to Datang? What's wrong with him? ”
Guo Ye spread his hands and said, "I guess Fang Xuanling wants to ask this question of yours too." He has made a lot of contributions, hasn't he been driven home to eat old rice? Alas, His Majesty's temperament has changed so much now that it can no longer be measured by common sense. ”
"Why did Your Majesty change so much?"
"How do I know that? Some people say that it was the demon girl Guo Yulan who confused His Majesty's consciousness, but I still don't believe it. But now, I don't believe it, and I have to believe it, and there really is no other explanation than that. ”
Chai Xiuxiu said: "Then we have to live in Silla?" ”
"You can go to Tianzhu if you want, I still have a foundation there. Don't be unwilling, I have done a lot of credit for these two countries, and we have nothing to do with seeking refuge. ”
"I don't! You're tough, me? Tianzhu has Laga Sriri, Silla has ......" Chai Xiuxiu glanced at Princess Shanhua with a weak heart, and said, "There is Jindeman." I don't want to be angry with them! ”
"How can you be angry? People are a generation of queens, and this measure is not yet there? I will definitely treat you with courtesy. Besides, is there any other option now? If you don't want to be angry, do you want to stay here and die? ”
Chai Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, even if what you say is reasonable, but what can the prince do?" You can go, but he can't go, and he won't be able to die well when the time comes. ”
"Prince......" Guo Ye frowned, and said: "I can't protect myself now, can I still take care of him?" This is his own father who wants his life, what can I do? ”
"It's not kind for you to say that, but have you ever been able to live up to the affection of Empress Eldest Sun for you? For the sake of his son, he gave you everything. ”
As if a thunderbolt sounded in his ears, Chai Xiuxiu's words scared Guo Ye out of the sky and said, "You ...... How do you know? ”
"Hmph, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do."
Guo Ye was anxious, and said, "This matter is really important, who did you listen to?" ”
Chai Xiuxiu sighed lightly and said, "You admit it?" Actually, I don't know much. ”
"Neither too much, how the hell did you know?"
"You can keep your mouth shut when you're awake, but what about when you're dreaming? It's just a few words, but it's enough for me to deduce the truth of the matter. ”
"So...... Only you know? It's okay, it's okay. That's right...... You didn't tell anyone, did you? ”
Chai Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" If it weren't for the urgency, I'd be ready to rot this in my stomach. I said, husband, you are really bold enough, you dare to touch Your Majesty's woman? It's really not wrong for people to deal with you. ”
"What nonsense? Your Majesty didn't want to deal with me because of this. He wants to make the king of Qi the crown prince, which is to clear the obstacles for the king of Qi. ”
"Even so, you don't care if the prince lives or dies? The promise to the eldest grandson is not counted? ”
Guo Ye was bored for a while, and said: "Of course I want to talk and count, but manpower is sometimes poor, isn't it impossible?" ”
"Hmph, it's a good idea to be poor at times. But there is also a saying that Tianxingjian is a gentleman who strives for self-improvement. You don't even want to try, and you just leave, doesn't seem to be very appropriate? ”
"I ......," Guo Ye muttered, "There is some truth in what you said. Then I'll think about it again, is there a way to survive in death......"
"Then you have to think about it, even if you want to go out, we have to build a country independently, what's the matter with going to send people under the fence?"
……
……
The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Guo Ye hadn't thought about it for long, and suddenly someone came to report: "Will be Cheng Zhang Bi to ask to see." ”
When Guo Ye heard this, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, didn't this go to Chang'an Mansion to surrender? How did it come out so quickly?
