In the Qi Palace, in the secret room, a conspiracy against Guo Ye is brewing. With-Dream- . lā

In addition to Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo, Li You, the King of Qi, Wei Ting, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Yin Hongzhi, the uncle of the country, Shi Xue Dading, the head of the Qi Palace, and the heads of the five major scholar clans, there was also one person who participated in this conspiracy, that is, the Zhongshu Shilang Cen text.

Cen Wenwen said: "Guo Ye's kid is too disrespectful of officialdom, for the sake of an ordinary ordinary person, he is actually an enemy of me, a dignified Chinese scholar. didn't say it, from now on, there will be him without me, and if he doesn't ruin his family, I swear not to be a man."

Wei Ting's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "These people here, who doesn't want to put Guo Ye to death, but they just want to think about it, the question now is, how to kill Guo Ye." Alas, it's difficult, it's just hard."

Wei Ting sighed and continued: "Not to mention killing Guo Ye, it is difficult for us to make Guo Ye suffer a small loss. ”

Cen Wenwen frowned and said, "There are so many of us, and the combined power is far above Guo Ye. I don't believe it, can I still help Guo Ye?"

"How can it be so simple to say it and not be afraid of your jokes, we have already dealt with Guo Ye twice, and as a result, Guo Ye was not only unharmed, but also gained a lot of benefits"

"Twice"

Zhang Liang said: "The first time was at the suburban welcome ceremony, and bad people reported Guo Ye for privately accepting pipa girls. As a result, Zhang's stealing of chickens did not lead to a handful of rice, not only did he not bring Guo Ye down, but I also lost the errand of bad people."

"I've experienced this myself, but what about the second time?"

"The second time you experienced it yourself. Li Xinglian's brother and daughter-in-law were taken away by the eunuchs, why didn't he go to His Majesty for trouble, but went to the government of Chang'an Mansion to complain"

"Isn't it the suggestion of Princess Gaoyang?"

"Then how could Princess Gaoyang be so coincidental and stop on the way to Li Xinglian to complain?"

Cen Wenwen's eyes lit up and said, "This is all arranged by your lord."

"Exactly. Originally, I wanted to use this matter to make Guo Ye fall out of favor in front of His Majesty. Unexpectedly, this case was really not done by His Majesty, but by the monks of Dade Temple."

Wei Ting answered: "This is good, Guo Ye has cleared His Majesty's injustice within three days, and now his status in His Majesty's mind is getting heavier and heavier."

Cen Wenwen comforted: "According to what you two say, Guo Ye is indeed difficult to deal with. But we don't have to be discouraged, in the struggle with Guo Ye, we have at least one strength, which Guo Ye is far from being able to match. As long as this advantage is brought into full play, Guo Ye will be brought down by us sooner or later."

Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "What strengths do we have, Guo Ye is far from being able to compare."

Cen Wenwen said: "The biggest strength of our people is that we don't care about things."

Wei Ting said: "Cen Shilang, we have something to say." What do you mean by deliberately ridiculing us like this?"

Li Xinglian said: "Wei Shilang, don't be angry, listen to the next word, I didn't mean to ridicule you, but to tell the truth." These people here, the patriarchs of the five major clans, do not have official positions, so needless to say. ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the king of Qi, Chitose, although he received the governor of Qingzhou from afar, he actually did not take office. ”

Zhang Liang said: "The old man was robbed of his position as the leader of the bad people's congress by His Majesty, and he didn't care about anything. But you Cen Wenwen, the official residence in the middle of the book, can't say that you don't care about things."

Cen Wenwen said: "As for the subordinates, although the position is high, it is to draft an edict in place of His Majesty." It's okay to say that you don't care about anything. ”

Wei Ting said: "What about the old man?"

"Although you are the secretary of the criminal department. But who doesn't know, you are at ease as an official, and the small things will be handled below, and as for the big cases, it is entirely up to Your Majesty. Your old man's way of being an official, Cen admires it so much"

"You have a point. But we don't care, which means that we don't have much power. It can't be considered an advantage, according to what you say, the beggars in our Chang'an City are the least in charge, and they are the most powerful."

Of course, that's not what I mean. However, compared with Qin Guogong, we are not weaker than him in terms of official position, and this is a very big advantage. If you don't do anything, you won't do anything wrong. ”

Zhang Liang said: "What about Guo Ye?"

"And Qin Guogong has so many functions and loves to take care of things. If you are in charge, you may do something wrong. We seized the opportunity and took one of his copies. Even if it has no effect for a while, there are too many participants, and everyone is pouring gold, accumulating and destroying the bones. Guo Ye's status in His Majesty's mind will inevitably decline."

Zhang Liang said: "Cen Shilang's method is good, I understand it, if you want to rely on one thing to bring Guo Ye down, it's just wishful thinking, you can only deal with him slowly, but wait for Guo Ye to make a mistake, we have to take the initiative to create opportunities to let Guo Ye make mistakes."

Li Quan, the patriarch of the Li clan, said: "Engaging in this kind of conspiracy and trickery is the specialty of Xun Guogong. I don't know if you can have a belly case now."

"I have a three-pronged strategy, and the management and insurance will discredit Guo Ye."

"Three Schemes in a Chain, but I Don't Know Which Three Schemes in a Chain"

"The first plan is to walk the truth of the case of Daitokuji Temple"

With Zhang Liang's latent forces, it was really not difficult to find out the truth of the Dade Temple case, and within a few days, the Dade Temple hid dirt and dirt, and the matter of the monk sending his son spread all over Chang'an City

This truth has spread so quickly, on the one hand, it is on the side of the anti-Guo Ye Alliance, and it has really taken a lot of effort. On the other hand, it is also this kind of fragrant case, which is what the common people like to spread the most.

Under the false rumors, this case has become more and more outrageous, as long as a woman has been to Dade Temple once, she will be "adjusted" by the monks to become a slut; What kind of monks in Dade Temple practice evil arts, and they have the ability to stare at anyone who is pregnant; There is a huge underground palace under Dade Temple, and there are tens of thousands of women in it

There are many theories.

Under all kinds of rumors, the monks' days in Chang'an City were sad again. The monks of Dade Temple do not follow the rules, then the monks of other temples will definitely abide by the rules and precepts The monks of Dade Temple insult the women of good families, who can guarantee that other monks do not have this hobby

All of a sudden, in the eyes of the people, the temples in Chang'an City have become caves one by one, and they are afraid to avoid them.

There are even people who are suspicious and come to the government to report to the officials. Guo Ye couldn't laugh or cry about this, the only thing he could do was to get out of the list, hoping that time would dilute everything.

The monks have suffered nothing in vain, which is nothing more than a few years of hard life, which is still within the acceptable range.

However, Guo Ye can't wait to ignore the large-scale deaths, in just ten days, dozens of women committed suicide by hanging beams, and as for the rumors that children were beaten to death by their parents, Guo Ye also heard a few.

These women and children are innocent people, and the reason why they died unexpectedly is to blame the monks of Daitokuji Temple on the one hand, and on the other hand, to blame the leaker of the matter

In other words, Guo Ye himself is not completely without responsibility here

He sometimes asked himself if he had been able to keep the secret if he had worked harder and been more cautious, and whether the women and children had died because of their carelessness

In addition to this matter, there was another thing that made him very unhappy, that is, the relationship between Ma Yuanju and himself became weaker and weaker.

There is such a big case in Chang'an City, of course, Chang'an Ling must be held accountable. Guo Ye investigated and handled the case as soon as he took office, and of course he had no merit or fault. However, Ma Yuanju has been the commander of Chang'an for several years, how can he not be responsible for this matter

All of a sudden, the Yushitai crowd was in turmoil, and they impeached Ma Yuanju one after another, and in the end, His Majesty Li Er stepped forward to protect it, and Ma Yuanju narrowly passed.

Despite this, Ma Yuanju, who had a very good official reputation, his reputation plummeted.

According to the reason, Guo Ye is not to blame for this, he handled the case impartially to investigate and deal with the monk, strictly speaking, it was to wipe Ma Yuanju's buttocks.

However, although the truth is such a truth, but people are emotional animals, Ma Yuanju originally had some knots with Guo Ye, and now this kind of thing has happened, which is equivalent to Guo Ye announcing his mistakes to the world, and when he sees Guo Ye, he becomes more and more cold

This day is the day of rest, Guo Ye was drinking alone at home, and suddenly Sun Zishan stumbled in and said, "Teacher, it's not good that your rival is coming."

"I have offended a lot of people, who is this person?"

"It's the old prime minister, Wang Gui, Wang Shuju"
