713.Chapter 729: The Royal Family Banquet

His Majesty Li Er personally greeted Guo Ye at the gate of the palace, and as soon as he came out of the people-friendly show, he immediately moved the two old guys, Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda, and couldn't help but be excited.

The two old men praised His Majesty Li Er with praise without hesitation, praising His Majesty Li Er for being rare in heaven and nothing in the earth, and almost touting it as the existence of the three emperors and five emperors of the ancient sages, Yao Shunyu.

Guo Ye looked at the two old men beside him who were numb and dead, and couldn't help but have goosebumps all over his body, and secretly degraded, isn't it just the emperor's whim to be a corporal of Lixian, are you two such a big reaction?

The belly is degraded, but after all, he gave enough face, and just right to cooperate with His Majesty Li Er's personal show, putting on a flattered appearance and calling out to the emperor Long live.

After greeting each other at the entrance of the palace for a while, the four of them entered the palace.

When Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang saw a few people coming in, they naturally stopped sitting, and got up one after another to meet Guo Ye and the three of them, and then Zhang Luo went to the imperial dining room and began to pass food into the palace.

Soon, all kinds of dishes and fine wines were delivered to the hall one after another, and a large table was set up.

This time, Guo Ye found that His Majesty Li Er was rare and generous, and the table was not as cold as before, with only a few plates of small pickles and millet porridge. On the contrary, there are fish and meat, as well as a few mountain delicacies that Guo Ye can't name.

For a while, his index finger moved, and he secretly praised that this is the minimum standard of the imperial banquet.

However, strictly speaking, it is not so much a royal banquet as a family banquet set up by His Majesty Li Er.

There are only four monarchs and ministers combined, and they also let the eldest grandson queen and Concubine Yang sit around, what is this not a family banquet?

The only thing that surprised Guo Ye was that His Majesty Li Er not only let Empress Changsun attend with her pregnancy, but also let Concubine Yang, a charming woman, sit aside.

The two women are prominent and noble, but one is elegant and quiet, the other is charming and moving, each with its own merits, and it is really a beautiful landscape.

At least, in Guo Ye's heart, it is enough to comment on the four words of beauty and food.

After everyone sat down, the two palace maids next to them each carried a delicate and small white glaze wine jug and poured wine one by one.

After pouring the wine, His Majesty Li Er took the lead in raising his glass and got up, and said to everyone: "Come, this first glass of wine, I want to respect Guo Qing." ”

Guo Ye immediately became anxious when he heard this, raised his glass and said in fear: "Your Majesty, you are really a micro-minister, how dare you be a respectful character?" Honest and honest, Weichen is really honestly afraid! ”

In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, this attitude is very satisfied, not arrogant at all, and a little more calm and humble than in the past.

However, he still insisted: "Guo Qing, although Tuyuhun is a small country, it has always been my wish to annex Tuyuhun to my Tang territory. Now that you have fulfilled this wish for me, I salute you with this glass of wine, and you are entitled to drink it. Come, drink this cup full! ”

Guo Ye couldn't see His Majesty Li Er's thoughts for a while, so he still politely refused, saying that he didn't dare to be toasted by the king.

For a while, the emperor was toasting, and the courtiers were humble, and there was actually a bit of a tug-of-war.

The old fox-like Yu Shinan hurriedly got up, picked up a glass of wine in his hand, broke the deadlock and said, "Haha, if Your Majesty and the Marquis of Yizhou continue like this, the dishes will be cold." Such a virtuous and courteous scene, the old minister is really the first time to see it. Why don't you propose that everyone drink this first glass of wine together to celebrate the expansion of our Tang territory and territory again? ”

Kong Yingda also saw the opportunity to get up, raised the water and wine in his hand and said: "Yes, yes, the Marquis of Yizhou can occupy Tuyuhun, although it is the first contribution, but Your Majesty is also indispensable." If His Majesty hadn't sent him as an envoy to Tuyuhun, how could he have achieved this today? Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans, gentlemen and ministers are filial, complement each other and complement each other! ”

Guo Ye sighed secretly in his heart, people are old and slippery, ghosts are old and elve, or these two old men can speak.

When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his face naturally lit up, and he raised his glass with great satisfaction and invited: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's drink this wine together." ”

After that, the four monarchs and ministers drank all the water and wine in the cups, and then they all sat down.

Empress Eldest Sun poured wine for her husband in time, and Concubine Yang was not idle, and kept putting vegetables into His Majesty Li Er's bowl.

Several palace maids each carried wine jugs to fill the wine for Guo Ye and Yu Shinan.

His Majesty Li Er took the lead in moving his chopsticks and said: "Come, three Aiqing, eat the vegetables first, I will chat with you while eating, let's also listen to the Marquis of Yizhou, let's talk about the thrilling situation in Tuyuhun that day." ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Suddenly, the three of them were no longer reserved, and they all started to use chopsticks.

For a while, the chips were staggered, the silver chopsticks were shaking, and the family banquet was slowly going on in this harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.

During this period, His Majesty Li Er naturally had to ask about Guo Ye's situation in Tuyuhun that day.

Guo Ye already had a draft in his heart, how to listen to it, how to say it, how to exaggerate it, and slowly talked about how to occupy Tuguhun by mistake.

Of course, only Guo Ye himself knows the truth of this matter. Anyway, he was slapping for a while, and he was blowing himself and the Xichuan Army and the Wolf Army to be the most awesome in the sky and on the earth.

In the end, when the report was almost complete, the dishes on the table were also like a whirlwind, and there was not much left, which was basically wiped out by Guo Ye into his stomach, who made this imperial banquet really delicious and delicious?

In the face of Guo Ye's embarrassment of eating and drinking, it is not surprising that His Majesty Li Er still has a smile, and the eldest grandson Empress is also pleasing to look at, but it is Concubine Yang, frowning slightly and disgusted with his vulgarity.

Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda knew that Guo Ye did it on purpose, so they let it go during the period, and secretly did not remind or stop it.

In this way, His Majesty Li Er's family banquet almost came to an end.

While Guo Ye was still wiping his mouth, His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked, "Guo Qing, a few days ago, the court was arguing about the candidate for the imperial doctor. Yu Servant Perforation Shangshu has recommended you to take up this position, what do you think? ”

Here it comes~

Guo Ye said secretly as expected, and then straightened it out, and said: "Your Majesty, it is no secret that the court is arguing about the election of the eldest lady of the imperial history, and the ministers have also heard about it. The minister also heard that in addition to Weichen, other ministers also proposed candidates, such as Wen Yanbo, the governor of Youzhou, and Yin Yudeshui, the governor of Chang'an. It was a great honor for the minister to be proposed to be listed alongside Wen Yu as a candidate. However, the minister wants to say that with the minister's heart and qualifications, he is not a good candidate for the imperial historian at all. ”

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback when he heard this, looked at Guo Ye in surprise, and exclaimed, "Oh? Guo Qing really thinks like this? ”

Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Yang were also shocked, their eyes were incredible, where are there officials in this world who are unwilling to be promoted, it is really strange.

Concubine Yang was vaguely excited in her heart, and secretly scolded Guo Ye for not knowing how to lift and be stunned.

However, after seeing the eldest grandson Wuji last night, Empress Changsun accepted her brother's request and thought in her heart.

She secretly thought, if Guo Ye was unwilling to take up the post of Imperial Doctor, and His Majesty allowed it, wouldn't there be no need for the palace to be this wicked person for his brother and make a hindrance?

As soon as she thought of this, she felt a lot more relieved and a little happy.

Guo Ye listened to His Majesty Li Er's inquiry, and muttered in his heart, Your Majesty Li Er, I don't think you really want me to take the position of Imperial Doctor, right?

Then, he suddenly got up and refused righteously: "Your Majesty, Weichen's words are absolutely from the bottom of his heart, and he dare not deceive." In the minister's view, whether it is on the heart, or on the qualifications, even if it is about the fame and background, Yin Yu Deshui of Chang'an Mansion is a hundred times more suitable than the minister. The minister is self-aware, although compared to Wen Yanbo's husband, the minister should not give in, but if Yin Yu Deshui of Chang'an Mansion is also listed, the minister should take the initiative to retreat and let the virtuous. The Imperial Historian is in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Historian of the world, which is tantamount to the mouthpiece of His Majesty, and how important his duties are, the ministers know in their hearts and will never dare to talk nonsense. ”

When recommending Yu Deshui, Guo Ye still did not forget to smear Wen Yanbo, who was recommended by his eldest grandson Wuji.

His Majesty Li Er listened to Guo Ye's words, and he couldn't understand this kid anymore.

With his understanding of Guo Ye, this kid is definitely the master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, and he can't suffer at all. Why did you change your personality for no reason today, and you actually learned self-knowledge and learned how to make pears from Kong Rong? And this big Yali is still a dignified imperial historian, how illustrious and glorious?

Next to him, Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda glanced at each other, and their eyes exchanged views for a short time.

I saw Yu Shinan take the lead in getting up and echoing: "Your Majesty, the minister also thought about it for a while, and felt that with Guo Ye's age, as well as his heart and experience, he was really incapable of holding the high position of the imperial historian. If he is forced to go up, it is tantamount to pulling out the seedlings to help him grow, and it will not be a good thing for him in the future. On the contrary, Yin Yu Deshui of Chang'an Mansion is a good candidate no matter from which point of view. ”

Kong Yingda coughed twice, also trembled, and said: "Yu Deshui, this person has outstanding achievements in Chang'an Mansion. A few days ago, the old minister went back to look through the official assessment of the Ministry of Officials in previous years, and found that this person started from the Luling County Order, step by step to the current Chang'an Mansion Yin, and actually took a small test every year, and the official assessment of the major examination in three years was exceptionally excellent. Therefore, he is indeed more suitable than Guo Ye to take charge of the Yushitai. ”

The attitudes of the three of them were summed up again, which made His Majesty Li Er wonder for a while, what kind of disease did these three people commit today, could it be that they had already figured out that I didn't intend to let Guo Ye take the position of Imperial Doctor?

At a moment's loss, His Majesty Li Er had to ask Guo Yedao: "Guo Qing feels that he is not qualified for the position of Imperial Doctor, so do you think he is qualified for any position?" This time, you have made such a devastating feat for the Tang Dynasty, I will let you act arbitrarily once, if you tell me the truth, I will never blame you. ”

Guo Ye said with a sincere face: "The minister feels that he is too young, and it is a little rash to enter the central committee of the court so early. Therefore, the minister wants to implore His Majesty to let the minister go to the place to exercise and exercise, in order to be able to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to share his worries and relieve His Majesty's worries. ”

"What?"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes widened, and he pointed at Guo Ye and said in surprise: "You don't want to let the central minister of Chang'an do it, but you want to go to the place?" ”

Guo Ye looked innocent and opened his eyes wide, nodded without thinking: "Well, that's what the minister means!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, a long breath suddenly sounded in his ears.

Call......

It was as if I was relieved.

However, he found that this big gasp actually came from the side of the eldest grandson queen.

His Majesty Li Er didn't notice this detail, but looked at Guo Ye with a serious face and asked, "Let's talk about it first, where do you want to go to the government for exercise, and what kind of job do you want to do?" Reciting your great work in Tuyuhun, today I simply let yourself be the master. ”
