After Guo Ye left the Lu Palace, as Li Yuanfang guessed, he was really a rat trap, and did not rush to the palace to report to His Majesty Li Er, but pretended that nothing had happened, and went straight back to the Pingyang County Mansion in Taipingfang.

As soon as he returned to the Pingyang County Mansion, Guo Ye locked himself in the study, and no one saw him, and he never stepped out of the room.

After a long time, until it was dark in the middle of the night, Guo Ye's stomach was empty like thunder, and he felt hungry, so he came out of the study, and after simply using some meals, he went back to the room to rest.

Tonight, the east wing is lit up and the night is spent on the Xiuxiu.

This is not only the welfare of Xiuxiu as the wife of the main house, but also Guo Ye's desire to work hard, in order to get Xiuxiu pregnant as soon as possible, put an end to the idea of the old lady continuing to give him a concubine, and cut off the old lady's thoughts.

Otherwise, if you take another concubine, this huge Pingyang County Mansion is really a peaceful house.

The long-awaited movement to create human beings has become an arduous political task in disguise.

In short, for the sake of harmony in the mansion, Guo Ye can only do this temporarily, and can only work hard to make Xiuxiu win the bid.

Attack, Brother Guo!

The curtain slowly drooped, the candlestick lights went out suddenly, the warbler Yanyan was low-bearing and tactful, a night of spring dinner, the taste of the wind was naturally insufficient and outsiders!

The spring night is short, and the next day when I wake up, the sun is already high, and the beautiful lady by the pillow is already absent, and she is busy in the house.

Guo Ye had sorted out everything in the study yesterday, and after getting up, his mind was naturally clear, and he didn't have so much tediousness, and the whole person was refreshed.

Because His Majesty Li Er gave him a few days off, he didn't need to get up early to go to court. So after he washed up and simply finished breakfast, he estimated that it was already the next dynasty, so he instructed Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin, the lieutenants of the county mansion, to prepare the carriage and horses, and go out of the mansion to visit Kong Yingda, the secretary of the ministry.

When I went to Kong Yingda's mansion, I naturally wanted to discuss with this old man how to step down from the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Now that Yu Shinan is not in Chang'an, Guo Ye can only discuss this matter with the second backbone of the Shilin Qingliu system.

Soon, Zhang Jiujin came in and said that the carriage was set up and ready to set off.

Guo Ye snorted and walked out of the county mansion with Zhang Jiujin.

Outside the house, Wang Bajin was responsible for driving the horse, while Zhang Jiujin rode the horse to accompany the carriage to the left and right as a guard.

Guo Ye came to the carriage and was about to board the wheel, but found that there were several temporary stalls outside his house for no reason, including tea stalls, vegetable stalls, and Nima's also a stall that specialized in selling strong pills and shouting tricks......

What's going on? When was there so much bustle in front of Guo's house?

At this time, Wang Bajin, who was driving, whispered to Guo Ye: "My lord, these people didn't have any of them yesterday, and in just one night, these things didn't know where they came from." Could it be that these people heard that you were promoted to the prince of Pingyang County, and you were favored by the emperor, and they dared to feel that our family was lucky in this place, and they all came here to practice stalls and wanted to be happy? ”

Zhang Jiujin tightened the reins, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said in an urn voice: "Grandpa Jun, do you want me to drive away these things that are not long-sighted?" lest it make noise at the door of our house and disturb the peace of the old lady and his wife. ”

"Hehe, no!"

Guo Ye waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's just a mess of food, there's no need to embarrass others." Let's go, go to Master Kong Yingda's house. ”

"Whoa!"

When Guo Ye got into the carriage, Wang Bajin made a sound, slowly drove the carriage, and rushed towards the location of the entrance of Taipingfang.

Guo Ye sat in the car, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and glanced at the stalls outside his house through the car window, and a smile appeared on his face inexplicably.

Then, he muttered to himself: "Emperor Taishang, you are really cautious enough, and you actually sent someone to watch outside my house." What's wrong? Could it be that Lao Tzu doesn't obey any of them, do you still want to slaughter my Guo Mansion? Tsk, these piles are so blatantly done, it looks like you're going to eat me, huh...... There are times when you cry! ”

Da Da Da ~ The horse's hooves were moving, the wheels were crunching and turning, and after the carriage left the fangkou, it turned onto Suzaku Street, and then headed towards the square area where Kong Yingda's mansion was located.

At the same time, a small tail was followed behind the carriage, staring at it all the way......

After a long time, Guo Ye arrived outside Kong Yingda's mansion.

As soon as the subordinates of the Confucian Mansion saw that it was the Duke of Pingyang County, they immediately led him to the flower hall, and someone rushed to the study to invite Kong Yingda.

In an instant, Kong Yingda came to the flower hall in a court uniform and came to the flower hall to meet Guo Ye.

Seeing this, Guo Ye smiled and asked, "Boss, I haven't changed my court clothes since I returned home, it seems that I have just left the court?" ”

Kong Yingda sat down with a smile, picked up the tea that the subordinate had just brought up in one hand, tasted two sips, and then replied: "Yes, I just went back to the study to deal with a few official duties after the court." No, I heard that you came over just after dealing with it, what's wrong? What's the matter with me? ”

"Boss, I want to resign from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Yingda's hands holding the tea shook suddenly, and the tea splashed out, almost burning his hands.

Kong Yingda hurriedly put the teacup on the table, and then asked with a solemn expression: "What kind of moth do you kid want to play?" Why do you want to go to the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites here? Hey...... Guo boy, could it be that once you went back to Chang'an, what kind of big Lou Zi stabbed you? ”

Guo Ye didn't want to tell Kong Yingda about meeting and talking with Li Yuan yesterday for the time being, otherwise, with the other party's temper, I don't know what it would become, and it would reach the ears of His Majesty Li Er.

At that time, maybe they didn't do anything to Li Yuan, Lu Wang and others, but forced the other party to jump over the wall in a hurry, and ruined the lives of Guan Jiu and Wang Bodang in vain.

Immediately, he laughed and said, "Where are so many baskets that can be stabbed?" It's just that this time I encountered a lot of things in Tubo and Tianzhu, and I was a little tired, so I wanted to rest at home for the time being and accompany my family. Look at me, it's too much of a delay to be absent from the Ministry of Rites for a long time. Therefore, I want to vacate the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and let the capable people live there. I can't let the Ministry of Rites be so leaderless because of me Guo Ye alone, right? ”

Kong Yingda knew that Guo Ye was really in danger in Tubo and Tianzhu this time, and he also knew that Guo Ye had not been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and now the Ministry of Rites Yamen was indeed in a mess.

So, he asked repeatedly: "Didn't you really poke the basket?" ”

"Sneer......"

Guo Ye shook his head and smiled: "Boss, why do you distrust me so much?" If I really poke the basket, I'll definitely talk to you about it as soon as possible, won't I? It's just that I'm really tired from my lack of energy, and I just want to take a break for a while!"

"Hmm...... In this way," Kong Yingda pondered for a while, and came up with an idea, "You write an excerpt and hand it to the palace, and then I will find a reason to talk to the emperor, I think the emperor will agree out of consideration for the Ministry of Rites." But have you thought about the successor? ”

Guo Ye had already thought about it carefully yesterday and proposed: "Guozi Priest Chu Suiliang, this person has both ability and political integrity, and he is second only to Master Yu as a famous calligrapher in the world, and has a very good reputation in Shilin. The most important thing is that he is the backbone of our Shilin Qingliu system. If you don't nominate him at this time, when will you stay? ”

"The prince of the country is a priest and a wine Chu Suiliang?"

Kong Yingda bowed slightly, and said: "This person is also what Yu Shinan, the old guy, has always appreciated, and he can be reused." In this way, I simply recommended Chen Kang, the secretary of the Guozijian Priest, as the candidate for the Guozijian sacrificial wine, and recommended it together, how about it? ”

Guo Ye snorted, and said in his heart, although the rank of the Guozi Priest Wine is not high, it has always been a position full of gold, and it is also the principal who cultivates talents for the emperor, so it can be regarded as the same gold content as the Central Party School in later generations.

If Chen Kang is recommended to the position of Guozi's sacrificial wine, this person will have a great future in the future, and there is no limit.

Moreover, Chen Kang is still the same as himself, he is a young and strong force of the Shilin Qingliu system. It will definitely be of great benefit to me in the future.

Immediately, he responded: "Okay, let's follow the boss's arrangement." ”

"Good!"

Kong Yingda picked up the tea cup on the table again, took two sips, and said with a smile: "You quickly hand in the excerpt of resignation, and the old man will cooperate with you at any time." ”

"Hmm," Guo Ye slowly got up and arched his hand, "Then it's nothing else, I'll go back first." There's Lao Lao! ”

Kong Yingda got up and watched, watched Guo Ye walk out of the flower hall, shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "This kid, there are times when he is tired, didn't Yu Shinan say that this guy is energetic and different from ordinary people?" Hey, I've become a dad, and I've finally learned to be introverted! ”

Seven days later, good news came from Kong Yingda, and His Majesty Li Er finally agreed to Guo Ye's resignation, allowing him to retain his title, recuperate for a period of time, and then resume requisition.

And Guo Ye, as the resignation excerpt said, felt a little tired and recuperated quietly at home for a period of time. If you really don't leave home, you will accompany the old lady at home, accompany a few wives and concubines, and tease Xiao Guo Xiang, enjoying the precious family fun.

One afternoon, Guo Ye taught his daughter Xiao Guo Xiang to walk in the garden of the house as usual, and fell down from time to time when she staggered, but Xiao Guo Xiang did not cry, got up and walked and fell again, which was quite tough.

Suddenly, Zhang Jiujin hurriedly ran in from outside the house, and his voice was raised, which scared Xiao Guo Xiang into crying.

Seeing this, Guo Ye hurriedly asked Zhenniang to take the child away, and then stepped forward to kick Zhang Jiujin and scolded: "You bastard is like a ghost, you jump out and cry wolf?" It actually scared my daughter into crying, Lao Tzu kicked you to death!! ”

Zhang Jiujin pouted his buttocks, and took the initiative to kick Guo Ye to vent his anger, and then shouted in a serious and dangerous manner: "Grandpa Jun, it's terrible, guess I was shouting at the door outside our house, guess what my subordinates heard?" ”

Guo Ye asked, "What did you hear?" ”

Zhang Jiujin watched Mrs. Zhenniang walk away with Xiao Guo Xiang in her arms, and then said in a low voice: "Listen to their rumors, saying that last night, the Yin Mansion was killed by people, tsk, the whole family did not leave a living mouth, and there were rumors that the Yin Mansion was punished by God." Even the master of the Yin Mansion was not spared, and he died the worst! Good guy, the whole Chang'an City is spreading this! ”

"Yin Mansion?"

Guo Ye subconsciously asked: "There are many people surnamed Yin in Chang'an City, which Yin Mansion do you say?" ”

Zhang Jiujin replied directly: "It is the mansion of Yin Tianzong, the general of the leading guards, Yin Mansion!" ”

"What?"

Guo Ye snorted violently and muttered in disbelief: "Yin Tianzong is dead? Is this what he told me - waiting for an opportunity??? ”
