Speaking of which, Guo Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is quite tasteless!

The Ministry of Rites was in charge of ceremonies, rituals, feasts, and tributes, a position equivalent to that of the current Minister of Propaganda and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Education, and Culture.

On the surface, it looks good, the position is high and powerful, and the reputation is relatively good! If a person doesn't have the opportunity to become the prime minister, then the end of the career is the Ministry of Rites, and it's not bad! Although the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is stained with the word "Qing Yao", and in terms of reputation, it can glorify the ancestors more than the Ministry of Officials!

How can Guo Ye have his own problems, he is neither a reader who reads poetry and books, nor a child of a family, and the most important thing is that he doesn't like to read! So he can't get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites at all!

Let him kill the generals and capture the flag, conquer the city, he can do a good job, let him join forces and send envoys to Fanbang, even if it is anti-smuggling and theft, Guo Ye can also be competent! It's really really inappropriate to let him be in charge of the Ministry of Rites!

These people in the Ministry of Rites are all rich and talented, and they are very skilled in their work, so let Guo Ye, who is not learned and unskilled, guide them in their work, and they are completely laymen leading insiders!

Guo Ye also knew that he was at a loss, so he let the officials of the Ministry of Rites play and be a shopkeeper by himself, and the operation of the Ministry of Rites was smooth! Sometimes he even thinks proudly, has he mastered the art of leadership?

But now, here's the problem!

It's the Ministry of Rites to give him a whole moth!

Although Guo Ye's status is not low, when he returns from an envoy, the imperial court can send a ceremonial Langzhong to greet him! Don't think that Langzhong's official position is low, he represents the Tang Dynasty, which is already very face-saving!

If the official position of the person who returns to Beijing is lower, no one will come to pick it up at all! If you should report to the Ministry of War, you should report to the Ministry of War, and if you should report to the Ministry of Officials, you should report to the Ministry of Officials...... It's a crime to report late, and you still want the Ministry of Rites to send someone to greet you? No way!

Even if Guo Ye has made great contributions, His Majesty Li Er feels that he needs to pay attention to it, and His Majesty Li Er will generally send important ministers to greet him on his behalf, and this standard is high! Although it is an exception, it is also within the scope of people's understanding!

However, what is the matter with His Majesty Li Er sending this divine monk Luo Er to greet him?

In folklore, the protector of the country is so awesome that the emperor is not stable without him, and the society is unstable! But actually...... It's all! At least in Datang it's!

In terms of grade, the so-called protector mage is also a fifth-grade official, barely a middle-level official in the Tang Dynasty! There is a difference of 108,000 miles from Guo Ye's status! Compared with the Ministry of Rites, it is one and a half catties and one eight taels - almost! He can't be regarded as an important minister of the state!

What does His Majesty Li Er mean by sending Luo Ersupo? This is also so unconventional!

Why didn't the Ministry of Rites protest against His Majesty Li Er's arrangement?

Even if the people in the Ministry of Rites are timid and don't dare to blow up with His Majesty Li Er after leaving, then someone must come to report to him, right?

Nima is not alone! This ritual book is really a failure!

Forced to press the three-character scripture in his heart, Guo Ye said: "You are the monk Luo Ersuo?" I have heard the name for a long time, like thunder; Seeing you today, it's really a blessing for three lives! ”

Luo Ersa said: "Pingyang County is polite! The little monk is ashamed! ”

Guo Ye was confused, and said, "Great monk, I have something to ask you about!" ”

"Pingyang County Prince, please speak!"

"I'm asking you about someone, have you seen the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites to meet me? Why are you surrounded by a bunch of petty officials, where did the leader go? Could it be that he was in a temporary urgency to go to the thatched house and accidentally drowned! ”

These words are really damaging, so I almost didn't directly scold the street and curse Luo Ersa to die!

This is not Guo Ye's impulse to take advantage of his words, but deliberate after careful consideration!

From the official point of view, Guo Ye is good friends with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and in the official face, he represents the side of the Daomen, and he is bound to deal with the great monk Luo Ersuopo! From a personal point of view, he accidentally offended Luo Ersa's subordinates, and the two sides already had a holiday!

Guo Ye doesn't believe in any nonsense about meeting and laughing, he believes in fighting snakes and not dying, but suffering from them! Since he is destined to fight against Luo Ersa, he has to find a way to defeat him!

To deal with the enemy, you naturally have to do everything!

In many ways, Guo Ye has a huge advantage over Luo Ersuopo! But there is one thing he feels that he has no advantage, on the contrary, he is at a disadvantage! Then the status in the mind of His Majesty Li Er!

Don't look at Guo Ye's great contribution to His Majesty Li Er, but there is such a saying, the merit is higher than the rescue! This old monk can refine the elixir pill, and Nima's merit is much greater than saving the car! As long as His Majesty Li Er's thief heart does not die, this old monk's status in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er is much higher than Guo Ye!

A lie repeated a thousand times is the truth, if Luo Er's wife says Guo Ye's small words in front of His Majesty Li Er all day long, he can't help but be unbelievable by His Majesty Li Er! Guo Ye's life is in jeopardy!

In order to offset the advantage of the great monk Luo Ersuo, Guo Ye must first find a way for His Majesty Li Er not to be moved by Luo Ersuopo's words!

This method is to make the contradiction between himself and Luo Ersa public first! As long as he has a big quarrel with Luo Ersa Po, and Luo Ersa Po becomes his obvious enemy, then what does he say, His Majesty Li Er will have to wonder if he is a personal vendetta!

Unexpectedly, Luo Ersuo did not get angry when she heard Guo Ye's provocative words, but smiled slightly and said, "Pingyang County Prince, don't look for it!" Your Majesty has sent you to greet you by none other than the little monk! ”

Guo Ye sneered: "Great monk, I heard you right, right? As a monk, you pay attention to jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, why don't you visit your Buddha in the temple and recite your scriptures. And to blend in with these mundane things? Are you a false monk with six impurities and greed for vanity? ”

"Pingyang County Princess, you have wronged me, this errand is not that the poor monk has to take it, but His Majesty has a will, and the poor monk has to obey!"

Of course, Guo Ye can't say bad things about His Majesty Li Er, and he has to find fault with this old monk, and said: "Luo Ersuo, even if you don't take the initiative to ask for help, but as a monk, you don't stay in the temple, and you hang around in front of Your Majesty all day long, trying to get lucky, you can't be called a true Buddha, right?" ”

"Pingyang County Prince's words are wrong! The poor monk practices Mahayana Buddhism, and what he pays attention to is to have compassion and purify all sentient beings! Joining the world to save people is the practice of poor monks! ”

Guo Ye's heart moved when he heard this, of course he knew the difference between the so-called big and small inheritance of Buddhism, but ...... Nima seems to have only Xiaocheng Buddhism in Tianzhu, and Mahayana Buddhism is the product of the localization of Buddhism in China!

A foreign monk believes in Buddhism with Chinese characteristics? It's not impossible, but...... How awkward you think! It's like an American who has come to China to study, majoring in English! Anyone who knows has to say, this girl has a sick brain!

Although the matter of the great monk cannot be compared, the reason is similar!

However, if Guo Ye and this old monk want to debate the difference between Mahayana and Xiaocheng, Guo Ye really has no confidence, how can people also be professional monks, Guo Ye, who only knows a little bit of skin, debates professional knowledge with others, it is really not a good chance to win!

Keeping the question in his heart, Guo Ye continued: "Great monk, I heard that you can refine the elixir of immortality? ”

This sentence implies a trap, as soon as the old monk says that he will indeed refine the elixir of immortality, Guo Ye is ready to turn his face immediately, saying that Luo Er Suo is a big liar who confuses the public!

"It's all the people of the world who spread falsehood! How can there be immortals? The poor monk is just a little familiar with the art of disambiguation, refining the elixir can make people live longer and live for hundreds of years! Immortality is impossible! ”

"Uh......" Guo Ye grinned, and said in his heart that this old monk is really slippery, and it is difficult to find him to make mistakes! The old monk said that it is not leaky, it is always right to prolong life after taking pills, although it is an exaggeration to say that life extension is 180 years, but it is hard to say that there is no such effect, and it seems that the reason is not enough!

Guo Ye secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Ersuo, do you know something?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"You have a subordinate named Sun Wuchang! Yesterday, I bumped into this official and was beaten by me! I heard that he is your subordinate, old monk, are you guilty? ”

What does it mean to bully people? What does it mean to while riding your neck?

That's it!

I will punish your men who have smitten, and I will punish you.

I'd like to see how you endure this time!
