Feng Shui is passed in turn, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river. Follow? Dream?. But today, this feng shui is turning a little too fast. In less than thirty years, in less than an hour, an astonishing reversal occurred.

It turned out that Wang Gui dragged Guo Ye to see His Majesty Li Er, and Guo Ye tried to delay the time as much as possible. Now that Guo Ye wants to pull Wang Gui to meet His Majesty Li Er, Wang Gui's face is embarrassed.

Wang Gui understands that he has made a big mistake this time

His own family temple was repaired at the emperor's expense. Originally, he rented the family temple to the monks, but now this group of monks has made such a big case, how can this be explained to the emperor

Not only is it difficult to explain to the emperor, but also in the face of the world, he can't explain himself.

If you don't sweep a house, why do you sweep the world and there is such a thing, people will ask, you Wang Gui can't even manage your own family temple, how can you be a good servant with the right to refute

This problem is okay to solve. I am seventy years old, and my time is short, so I will resign if it is a big deal, and the key is my reputation.

It turned out that he was notoriously honest and surrendered, and he was upright.

Many people believe in their own character because they don't doubt the Dade Temple.

On the contrary, because of the problems in the Dade Temple, it is natural for people to doubt their own character.

Not only can't explain to the world, but also can't explain to your ancestors.

It is already unfilial enough to reduce their due offerings again and again for the sake of money. Now they are even using them as a cover to help those monks as traitors, which is simply inferior to beasts

Although this is my own unintentional mistake, the result of the matter is like this, and there is no quibble.

Wang Gui said: "Qin Guogong, Wang also has a reluctant request. ”

"Please speak in the king's servant."

"Well, in Dade Temple, there is such a big criminal case, and it is unreasonable for Wang to say that he is not responsible. To meet His Majesty in person and ask for punishment is also what my Wang Gui should do. But can this matter be postponed for another three or five days?"

"Why is that?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, Wang is old, and when he got the news at first glance, he was dizzy and dizzy and difficult to control himself. I am afraid that when I meet His Majesty, I will be rude. ”

Guo Yedao: "I understand, you are excited, you are sick and plan to meet Your Majesty again after you get well, is this what you mean?"

"Well, you can understand that."

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Wang Shizhong plans to meet His Majesty in a few days, of course you can." You are the prime minister of our Tang Dynasty, and your official position is far above Guo someone, how dare Guo someone restrict your whereabouts"

"Thank you Qin Guogong for your understanding."

Li Xinglian said: "There is something I want to remind you of next. You don't have to see Your Majesty today, but Qin Guogong must go to see Your Majesty. Don't get me wrong, there's no point in this for you. The key is still the three-day covenant. Today is the third day, and Qin Guogong has to go. ”

Guo Yedao: "How to deal with the case of Dade Temple, we must also ask Your Majesty for instructions immediately." This case not only involves dozens of lives, but also the names of thousands of women, the relationship is too big, Guo does not dare to make the decision, let alone delay time, and must immediately report to His Majesty. ”

Both of these reasons are so powerful that Wang Gyu cannot refute them. He secretly thought in his heart that since he couldn't prevent the two of them from entering the palace, he could only go with the two of them to meet His Majesty Li Er. It is better to be able to explain this matter to His Majesty Li Er in person than to relay it through others.

He said: "Since this is the case, then let's enter the palace together to face the saint"

Of course, Guo Ye and Li Xinglian will not ask in a bad way, didn't you just say that you were sick, why do you want to enter the palace with us Anyway, Wang Gui is age is there, and the necessary face still has to be given.

"Wang Shizhong, please first," Guo Ye and Li Xinglian said in unison.

Three searches for the Dade Temple, a lot of time delayed. By the time Guo Ye and his party came to the gate of the palace, it was already evening.

Guo Ye saw Dong Shun leading two little eunuchs from a distance and walking towards the outside of the palace. Dong Shun also saw the three of them, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said, "See Wang Shizhong, see Qin Guogong, see Li Shilang"

Wang Gui said: "Father-in-law Shun doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

"King Xie."

"Look at your posture, who are you going to proclaim to, since you have something important to do, please take care of yourself"

Dong Shun did not leave, and said: "The miscellaneous family is indeed going to proclaim. However, the object of the decree was Li Shilang. ”

Guo Ye and Li Xinglian glanced at each other and knew that the situation was not good. It seems that His Majesty Li Er thought that the time of the three-day appointment had passed, and sent Dong Shun to send an edict to punish Li Xinglian.

Guo Yedao: "Father-in-law Shun, what you want to read out is the will to demote Li Shilang"

"It's not just a demotion to an official, but it's also a matter of counting, you wait a minute, the miscellaneous family will announce the decree in public, don't you understand it all?"

Guo Ye said: "Don't declare your father-in-law, I beg you for something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Uh, can you pretend that you didn't see Li Shilang, I'll go to see Your Majesty and plead for Li Shilang."

Dong Shun looked around and said with a bitter face: "Qin Guogong, do you think I have that much courage?"

At the gate of the palace, in front of everyone's eyes, it was too difficult to let Dong Shun bend the law for personal gain. Guo Ye thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, don't announce the decree first." Come with a few of us to meet Your Majesty. I'm sure I'll be able to get His Majesty back from his life. ”

Dong Shun said embarrassedly: "This miscellaneous family has a huge stake. ”

On this occasion, Guo Ye didn't dare to openly bribe Dong Shun, so he had to bow to the end and say, "Father-in-law Shun, please"

Guo Ye's identity is now different from what it used to be, how dare Dong Shun accept his big gift and hurriedly jumped away, saying: "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, Qin really killed the miscellaneous family." Alright, let's go and meet Your Majesty together. ”

Looking at the North Pavilion.

His Majesty Li Er was also stunned when he saw the four of them coming together, but he was immediately relieved. He asked, "The king is here, but for the sake of Li Shilang's intercession, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you this face." There is a way that you have no jokes, and my holy decree has been made, and there is no reason to change it."

Wang Gui had already been given a seat, but after hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, he immediately stood up again, knelt on the ground again, and said, "Your Majesty, you should indeed take back your life." However, Weichen came to meet His Majesty today, not to plead for Li Shilang, but to plead for himself."

"Please" His Majesty Li Er asked suspiciously: "What is the sin among the king's servants?"

"Please Your Majesty to punish the crime of negligence of the ministers"

Then, Wang Gui told His Majesty Li Er what had happened as it was. Of course, in the matter of Dade Temple, he has one thing to say, and two things to say. Things other than Daitokuji Temple. He could only tell the story according to the version that Li Xinglian told him

After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's face immediately changed greatly, not because he was surprised by the speed with which Guo Ye solved the case, not because of the failure of the three-day covenant, but because the impact of the Dade Temple case was too great.

The criminal case involving dozens of lives was a major case that had never been seen since he succeeded to the throne. And this big case still happened at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Chang'an City, the first good place. It can be said that this case happened under the nose of His Majesty Li Er

History is full of how people will comment on this matter in the future

Will anyone say that there is such a big case in Chang'an City, let alone those places where the emperor is far away, it can be seen that the law and order during the Zhenguan period was very bad, and Li Shimin was an incompetent king.

Will someone say that the Son of Zhenguan killed his brother and killed his brother in order to ascend the throne, but he couldn't even manage Chang'an City, he was really a master and a low master, and he didn't know how many nights he should eat

Will someone say it

The more His Majesty Li Er thought about it, the more angry he became, and said hatefully: "Wang Gui, I wanted to ask the household department to pay you to build the family temple, so that you could worship your ancestors, but not let you rent it to monks for profit, but now because you are greedy for money, dozens of women have died unexpectedly, you say, what crime should you be guilty of?"
