Is Guo Ye's contribution to the Eastern Crusade a lot? To be fair, it's still very big. Not to mention that most of the Goguryeo cities were fought down by him. In the end, he led 2,000 people to block the enemy, which can be said to have saved the lives of tens of thousands of Tang troops, including His Majesty Li Er.

Not to mention that Guo Ye repeatedly broke the enemy army, burned Pyongyang City, and even captured Yuan Nanjian's grandfather Yuan Taizuo back to Chang'an City.

In addition, this time he captured Xue Yantuo's Khan alive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has made great achievements.

However, with such a contribution, is it worthy of the emperor's outskirts?

Not necessarily.

You must know that now the Tang Dynasty is all over the world, whether it is Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo, compared with the Tang Dynasty, they cannot be regarded as opponents of the same grade.

The credit for defeating them is great, but it is worth the outskirts of heaven...... I'm afraid most people don't think so.

To give a simple example, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he used to serve the Turks, and after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, he had to have an alliance with the Eastern Turks.

However, it is such a big country, after Guo Yesheng captured Jieli Khan, did the Son of Heaven welcome him? No! Not at all! Instead of welcoming the suburbs, on the contrary, he also took the small crime of taking a concubine without permission, and offended the merits.

Although this is related to Guo Ye's low status at that time, it is not difficult to see from the other side how difficult it is to let the Son of Heaven welcome him.

The last time Tianzi Jiao welcomed Guo Ye back from his mission, on the one hand, it was strongly requested by His Majesty Li Er, and on the other hand, Zhang Liang and others added fuel to the fire.

So what is the reason today? Are there any catches? No one has reported it!

In fact, not only did no one tell Guo Ye the inside story of this matter, but he didn't know the news of the Son of Heaven's outskirts beforehand.

The notice given to him by the imperial court was just that the servants of Shang Shu shot Li Jing to greet the Son of Heaven, which is the proper meaning of the question. Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Jing was replaced by His Majesty Li Er!

Guo Ye ran a few steps, came to the front of His Majesty Li Er, knelt on the ground, and said, "Minister Guo Ye see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Aiqing has worked hard, please hurry up!" His Majesty Li Er clasped his hands and continued: "You already know the news that I have named you the King of Qin, right?" ”

"The minister already knows, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, Dong Shun."

Shun Gong said: "The slave is here." ”

"Hurry up and bring King Qin's crown over and let King Qin put it on."

"Yes."

Dong Shun beckoned, and several little eunuchs came over with lacquer plates. Guo Ye looked at it, from hats to official boots.

He hesitated: "Your Majesty, just change it here?" ”

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand and said, "I saw that the tent in the distance is not there, it has been prepared for you, go there and change your clothes." ”

"Yes."

Guo Ye immediately changed the crown of King Qin, and came to everyone again, His Majesty Li Er took his hand, faced hundreds of high-ranking officials and soldiers, and said, "Let's start." ”

Dong Shun's duck-like voice sounded, and he said, "Salute, I have seen Your Majesty and King Qin." ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! See King Qin Chitose Chitose Chitose! Hulala, everyone knelt on the ground.

Suddenly, on the huge Changle slope, more than 20,000 people were prostrate on the ground, and only two people were standing. These two people, one is His Majesty Li Er, and the other is Guo Ye.

At this moment, Guo Ye's face was also red, the green tendons on his forehead were rising, and his palms were sweating!

Who are the kneeling people below?

In addition to the ordinary sergeants and high-ranking officials, there are also Shangshu's left servant shooting Li Jing, Shangshu's right servant shooting Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling Wei Zheng, and Shangshu Shangshu Wei Ting...... Wait a minute.

Not long ago, he was on an equal footing with them, but now, they actually knelt in front of him?

What is the rhythm of this?

Although Guo Ye is unwilling to be arrogant, he also knows that compared with these people, his credit cannot be said to be necessarily smaller than them, but it is far more than that.

How can you be above these people?

He wanted to jump away, but he also knelt down, but he was tightly pulled by His Majesty Li Er and couldn't move.

His Majesty Li Er said softly: "Guo Aiqing, what's wrong with you?" Don't just look at it, why do you have to get everyone up? ”

"Good...... Good...... Please. Guo Ye stammered.

His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, Aiqing is flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

That's when people stood up.

Then, there was another lengthy outing process. I think that Guo Ye welcomed the Queen of the Ring Sun on behalf of His Majesty Li Er, and was later greeted by the Son of Heaven himself, of course, he is very clear about the Taoism.

Unexpectedly, just when the ceremony was about to end, His Majesty Li Er had another moth.

"Come on, come on, Guo Aiqing will take a ride with me!"

"What?" Guo Ye couldn't believe his ears and said, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, right?" ”

"How is it not suitable? I think that when Jiang Ziya met King Wen of Zhou, Corporal Lixian, King Wen, personally pushed the cart for 800 steps, and only then did he have the 800-year-old country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although I can't compare to the sages, can't I ride in the same car with Aiqing? ”

"King Wen of Zhou gave Jiang Ziya a cart, that's a legend......"

"Huh?" His Majesty Li Er's face turned pale, and he said, "Could it be that King Qin is arrogant and arrogant, and wants to resist the decree and disrespect?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare, sit down for me."

"Uh...... All right. ”

Seeing that His Majesty Li Er's face was not good, Guo Ye could only accept his orders. But in my heart, it's a drum.

Without him, scared!

If it is said that he accepted the bowing of the ministers with His Majesty Li Er before, and he can still be vague, then how can he explain it by sharing a car?

Isn't this clearly about being on an equal footing with the emperor?

This is simply out of line! Even if the ministers were afraid of the emperor's power and did not dare to advise, could it be that His Majesty Li Er, the first emperor of the ages, did not understand?

If he understood, why did he do it?

Didn't he understand that this was not to allow himself to enjoy the supreme glory, but to harm himself? One day is the right day, and today's events are evidence of your intention to rebel!

"Let's go!" The car rumbled, and the brigade began to move forward.

His Majesty Li Er coughed lightly and said, "Guo Aiqing." ”

"The minister is here."

"Looking at you like this, are you happy about my arrangement?"

Guo Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." I don't know why Your Majesty gave Your Majesty such an honor to Weichen? None of these glories are for a man. If Weichen gets it, I am afraid that the disaster of raiding the family and destroying the clan is just around the corner. ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's over!" You think too much, this is a good thing to put aside for the time being, but it definitely can't reach the point of raiding the family and exterminating the clan. I still have more than 50 years to live, can't I still protect my henchmen? ”

"Even so, you don't need to give Weichen such a big honor, right?"

"Well, I still can't help you." His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "I think at the beginning, you fell into the sea, and your life and death are uncertain. I didn't trust your words so much that I made a big mistake. ”

"Distrusted?" Guo Ye scratched his head and said, "What don't you trust?" ”

"It's just that you told me before that you once changed the book of life and death and changed your lifespan to eighty-eight years old."

This sentence was originally Guo Ye's fooling His Majesty Li Er, and he himself almost forgot it, it was difficult for His Majesty Li Er to remember it so clearly. His face flushed slightly, and he said, "Ah, yes, there is such a thing, and then what?" ”

"Then, when you fell into the sea, I became suspicious of your words."

"Doubt is doubt, what does it have to do with Weichen's current non-divided glory?"

"That's just a lot of relevance. The sea is vast, how can manpower win the sky? Guo Aiqing was killed, although I am a son of heaven, I can't help at all. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a good solution. ”

"But pray to heaven?"

"If prayer is useful, Guanyin will not be gone. The solution I have in mind is Chongxi! ”

"Rush ...... Chongxi? ”

"That's right. I think that at the beginning, your life and death were uncertain after the defeat, and I sealed you as a Pingyang county duke, but you came back alive just after the seal. This time, I will bet on a big one and make you a king of Qin. That way, if you can't come back right away, at least you'll be able to escape, right? ”

"Dare to love Weichen, this King of Qin is here like this." Guo Yedao: "Your Majesty, you are really a little sick and rushed to the doctor, but your kindness to Wechen is unforgettable!" ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed lightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, until the news that you are safe and sound comes that I don't know that I have done a big mistake!" ”
