"Silly boy, what's the pestle doing there?"

Li Jing saw that Guo Ye was speechless for a long time, and couldn't help urging and asked: "The old man asked you, do you want to be transferred back to Chang'an from Yangzhou?" ”

Guo Yehu looked at Li Jing suspiciously from head to toe, not knowing what the other party was thinking, so he tilted his head suspiciously and asked, "You help me transfer back to Chang'an?" Moved back to Chang'an? Or ......"

"!"

Li Jing rudely interrupted Guo Ye's suspicions, and said unhappily: "If you are not promoted back to Chang'an, why is the old man bothering with you?" Is it possible to expect the old man to get you back to Chang'an to be a big soldier and guard the city gate? Sneer......"

Moved back to Chang'an?

This feeling is so wow! If you don't get promoted, isn't that a fool?

Immediately, he nodded again and again, and then asked: "Old general, I, the assassin of Yangzhou, am also a feudal official, where do you plan to move me?" Let me tell you, don't expect me to be placed in which Qingshui Yamen will be a matter of matter, I must be reused, I must be promoted, otherwise I would rather nest in Yangzhou as my assassin. ”

While speaking, Guo Ye still looked reluctant, and Li Jing was angry for a while, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you shameless Guo boy, does the old man owe you or deserve you, and he actually kicked his nose and looked like a scoundrel." ”

When Guo Ye saw Li Jing say this, he immediately replied: "Old general, don't fix these vain things. You said that I did a good job in Yangzhou, just like a dragon entering the sea, I was at ease, and I made great achievements. But your old man didn't suddenly come and ask me if I would like to be transferred to Chang'an. If it weren't for Gao Sheng, what would I do in Chang'an? Isn't that sick? Besides, didn't you just say that you have something to trust me? If it weren't for your old man wanting me to do something for you, you would be so kind enough to help me mediate and transfer back to Chang'an? ”

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!"

Li Jing waved his hands again and again with a little headache, looking at Guo Ye's eyes with a bit of annoyance, and then said: "Ministry of Rites, how about the old man find a way to transfer you back to Chang'an and enter the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Ministry of Rites?

Guo Ye suddenly thought that before coming to Chang'an, Chen Kang, the secretary of the Guozijian Department, sent someone to Yangzhou to deliver a message, saying that it was about Li Gang Zhishi and the vacancy of the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

He knew that as soon as Li Gang retreated, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at this position. He knew very well in his heart that his qualifications were too shallow, even if he tried hard to fight for it, no matter how hard Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda worked hard to help, His Majesty Li Er would not let himself get his wish to make up for Li Gang's shortcomings.

Moreover, the opposition of the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely be higher and higher, which will also prompt His Majesty Li Er to veto his qualification to make up for Li Gang's shortcomings.

However, if Li Jing, the god of the Tang Army, went to the court and supported himself to take the throne......

Perhaps, things may turn around.

Suddenly, he shouted with excitement on his face: "Old general, your old man really wants to transfer me back to Chang'an to enter the Ministry of Rites, is it possible that you are sure that I will preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Li Jing suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard the funniest and most ridiculous joke in the world, and he laughed so much that tears were about to pop out of his eyes, and he stopped laughing.

Then he glanced at Guo Ye with disdain, and quipped: "I said that your kid's heart is really big enough, how old are you this year?" As far as I know, you're only twenty-two years old, right? Tsk, at the age of twenty-two, you actually want to become one of the six Shangshu, how can you make the white-haired ministers of the Manchu Dynasty embarrassed? ”

"Cut, rare and strange," Guo Ye heard the clue from Li Jing's expression and words, obviously he would be wrong, but he was not ashamed at all, on the contrary, he fought back unashamedly, "In ancient times, there were twelve ministers of Ganluo, what about my Guo Ye's twenty-two and six books?" If you are not old, look at your loneliness! ”

Li Jing was immediately frozen when Guo Ye said this, it was really like that.

However, at this time and time, the people of Ganluo paid their respects to the prime minister because Chu was a small country at that time, and talents were rare. But now that the Tang Dynasty is full of civil and military personnel, there are many talents, and today's saint is a generation of Ming monarchs and holy lords, and there is no shortage of such a person as Guo Ye to govern the Ministry of Rites.

Besides, if the emperor let the old ministers with outstanding qualifications and talents in the Manchu Dynasty not promote and appoint, but instead use a fledgling yellow-haired boy, this is not the way to control it? In the end, it broke the heart of a dry old minister.

Li Jing knew this in his heart, and Guo Ye was actually very clear.

The most critical point is that although Li Jing has been fighting abroad for many years and has not been in the court for a long time, he is clear about the situation in the court.

Who doesn't know that now the party of the eldest grandson Wuji and the party of Yu Shinan are pinching hotly, and the eldest grandson Wuji has a great feud with Guo Ye, and although he does not belong to any camp and is out of the world, he has always had a friendship with the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, they had advanced and retreated together under the account of King Qin, and they had also led the army to fight together.

And he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji has not been idle recently, and is strongly recommending Cui Henian of the Qinghe Cui clan to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in front of the emperor.

If he recommended Guo Ye at this time to take up the position of this unrealistic secretary of the Ministry of Rites, wouldn't he be singing against the eldest grandson Wuji?

Although he didn't want to get too close to the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji, otherwise, the eldest grandson Wuji had repeatedly proposed marriage to his son before, and he would have refused a long time ago, so why perfunctory the eldest grandson Wuji?

Immediately, he waved his hand decisively and said, "Don't worry about you kid, you kid, if you want to become a six-part scholar before the age of thirty, unless the sun comes out in the west." Huan Hai's career is always the older he gets, the more popular he is, and he is always ranked by seniority. Because of the age, it represents stability and precipitation. Got it? ”

Guo Ye nodded perfunctorily, but he didn't think so in his heart, and said in a degraded manner, that's not necessarily, buddy jumped all the way, didn't he also officially seal the assassination of Shi Bai in less than a few years?

Seeing that Guo Ye's attitude was acceptable, Li Jing secretly praised it, and then said: "Don't worry, the old man has never said good things in front of His Majesty for anyone." This time I made an exception for your kid, and I will definitely not lose you. Although it is impractical to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is more than enough. What do you think? Transferring back to Chang'an to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites is not an insult to your identity, right? Compared to your Yangzhou thorn history, it's a high promotion, right? ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites?

The second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites is only subordinate to the Book of Rites, and he has already obtained the ticket to the early dynasty, and he can play in front of the court and the king.

In this way, it is indeed a high promotion!

However, he was not overjoyed, but asked: "Old general, this ceremonial squire is also divided into left and right squires, the left is big, and the right is small. If you are the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, it won't be interesting. ”

"Hmph, you have to make inches!"

Li Jing glared at Guo Ye again dissatisfied, and then scolded: "Do you think that it is rare for the old man to speak once in front of the emperor, and he will make you deign to be the right attendant?" ”

The left waiter of the Ministry of Rites?

A real second-in-command of the Ministry of Rites!

Done!

Guo Ye was finally overjoyed at this time, and asked with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Old general, you know the righteousness!" Since you treat the kid so well, as the so-called drinking water does not forget to dig wells, and the thousand years of favor and fruit, hehe, the kid should also repay him with a peach. Well, old general, you say, there's something the boy needs to do. ”

After getting the real benefits and getting the promise of Li Jing's daughter, Guo Ye brought up the old matter again and asked about the things that Li Jing mentioned before.

As Guo Ye expected, he and Li Jing were not close to that extent, and Li Jing couldn't appreciate him to the extent that he went mad, and he wouldn't give him such a big benefit for no reason.

To put it bluntly, courtesy must be asked for by others.

Li Jing laid down so many things, it is nothing more than what he said before.

Hearing Guo Ye ask like this, Li Jing smiled and said, "Okay, it's all about this, and the old man is no longer beating around the bush." The matter entrusted to you is still about the girl Nuan Nuan. ”

Guo Ye bowed slightly, and it was still this topic to go around. However, he didn't say anything, but continued to listen to Li Jing's slow words.

I only heard Li Jing pause slightly, and said: "Guo Ye, the old man knew that you definitely had a mysterious army in your hands from the fact that you were able to successfully rescue Li Ke, the king of Shu, and other people in Tubo back then. Right? ”

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a chill rose from the deepest part of Guo Ye's heart, and the whole person tensed, immediately showing an unprecedented state of tension.

"Haha, don't fool the old man with the people in the rivers and lakes, how can the old man be so easy to fool? Guo Ye, yes and no? ”

"Old General, what do you want to do?"

Suddenly, Guo Ye's voice became extremely cold, his expression no longer had the cynicism he had before, and his eyes were even more full of killing intent.

Asking Li Jing about his gap, Guo Ye clenched his fists tightly imperceptibly, secretly adjusted his standing posture, leaned forward slightly, and felt a bit hungry and pounced, killing with one blow.
