Guo Ye said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to abandon the left and right." With-Dream- . lā”

"Okay, Dong Shun, you go out first."

"Whoa."

Father-in-law Shun came out of the big tent, and His Majesty Li Er said: "Now the Duke of Qin can always say it."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to hold back and leave the left."

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "You mean to drive out the Duke of Xunguo"

"Exactly."

"Not necessarily. I believe in the loyalty of the Lord of the Nations. ”

I don't know if he was moved by His Majesty Li Er, or if he was acting on the spot, Zhang Liang burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty"

Guo Ye was unceremonious and said, "Your Majesty believes in Xun Guogong, but I can't trust him." ”

"Why is that?"

"This matter is a long story" Then, Guo Ye told him very briefly about his envoy to the Khitan, and finally he said: "Zheng Xiliang was in the palm of his hand at that time, and he regarded the minister as a dying person, and what he said should be true." ”

"You suspect that Xun Guogong is the high-ranking official who colluded with Goguryeo"

"Exactly."

Zhang Liang couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "Qin Guogong, you don't want to declare a personal vendetta, and make up the words of a dead person to frame a certain family." ”

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "Both of you are my confidants, I believe in you, and I also believe in Qin Guogong. Zheng Xiliang should have said those words at that time, Qin Guogong did not make something out of nothing. However, "

"How"

"I believe that the so-called high-ranking official who colluded with Goguryeo should not be the Duke of Xunguo."

"Your Majesty, you are so wise."

Guo Ye said: "Don't be deceived by Zhang Liang, the three reasons for resisting the decree he said just now are too far-fetched." The real reason is that he colluded with Goguryeo and wanted to kill you."

His Majesty Li Er was silent and thoughtful.

Zhang Liang said: "The blood of the Duke of Qin is spewing people, and the old minister really jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash the matter, so far, there is only one death to prove his innocence." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and looked around, as if he really wanted to kill himself.

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand, took off the sword on his waist, handed it over, and said, "Xun Guogong, you are looking for this"

"I, I" Zhang Liang took the sword, held the scabbard with his left hand, held the hilt with his right hand, pressed the goose wings, withdrew the tension spring, and choked the sword out of the sheath

Then, he put his sword across his neck and said, "Old minister, go also, Your Majesty, you have to take care."

His Majesty Li Er didn't bother either, and looked at him with a smile.

Zhang Liang only felt that the sword in his hand was heavier than a hill, and said, "The old minister will go."

"Go also"

"Go also"

He shouted three times in a row, but the sword still didn't move.

In the end, he threw away his sword, fell to his knees, and cried: "Your Majesty, you have to believe the old minister, I really did not collude with Goguryeo, and the old minister wronged the old minister."

"Okay, you're an important minister of the state, let's cry and cry like something."

"So, you believe me"

"I never doubted you." His Majesty Li Er was slightly amused and said, "Qin Guogong, can you see what's coming?"

"Shuchen is stupid, and he really doesn't see anything."

"Well, why are you so confused. Isn't this an obvious thing, the courage of the Lord of the Nation, that is really lacking. He is so bold, how dare he be involved in a major case of rebellion?"

"If it's not him, who can it be"

"Who" Li Erma gritted his teeth and said: "Blue is better than blue." If I'm right, it's him."

A word woke up the dreamer

When Guo Ye heard this, he couldn't help but flash a person named Li You in his mind

The so-called collusion between high-ranking officials and Goguryeo must have clear benefits. The small people of Goguryeo are poor, and how much benefit can be given to the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty

From this point of view, there is no possibility of any high-ranking official defecting.

However, if this thing really happened, it can only show that this person has benefited. Not from Goguryeo, but from the Tang Dynasty

To say that His Majesty Li Er was defeated and died, the most likely beneficiaries are himself and Li Zhi. Second, it is this Qi King Li You.

Now, he has proved his innocence with the Great Destruction of the Goguryeo Army, and there is only one remaining suspect, Li You, the king of Qi

As soon as His Majesty Li Er dies, then a new monarch will ascend the throne. Although Li Zhi has become the crown prince, he is too young. At this time when the country is in turmoil, if it is operated properly, Li You may not be without the possibility of success if he imitates the story of Xuanwumen

His Majesty Li Er's so-called "blue is better than blue" refers to the fact that His Royal Highness the King of Qi not only wants to kill his younger brother, but also colludes with Goguryeo to kill his father before killing his younger brother

Although he figured out the cause and effect of this incident, Guo Ye still had to pretend to be confused. Now that you have made this matter clear, how can you take a stand

persuaded His Majesty Li Er to slaughter his son, is that a human business?

persuade His Majesty Li Er to tolerate the adulterer, what should I do if something goes wrong after that

Guo Ye hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty still wants to know how Weichen caused chaos in the Goguryeo camp?"

"If you don't mention this stubble, you forgot it, say it quickly."

"Well, before Weichen said, please ask Your Majesty to make a will, the truth of this matter, Xun Guogong must not tell anyone."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Okay, I won't embarrass you. Xun Guogong, I won't say any extra words, what Qin Guogong said today, you dare to leak half a word. I will cure you of two sins and one."

"Yes"

Guo Ye said at this time: "I think that when Weichen sent an envoy to Sanhan, he once arranged a secret son by Yuan Nanjian's side, this person's original name was Fa Lin, and his pseudonym was Xincheng. Now he has become the national teacher of Goguryeo. ”

"He was the one who caused chaos in the Goguryeo camp"

The same can be said. Weichen asked him to erect four high platforms in Jiang Yishi's camp. It is claimed that this high platform represents the national fortune of Goguryeo. That night, the platform suddenly collapsed, and the Goguryeo people were naturally terrified and fled in all directions. ”

Zhang Liang said: "Qin Guogong, your words are a bit evasive. Why did the high platform collapse in an instant, and what was the matter with the great light and sound at that time?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "At that time, there was a big earthquake, what happened?"

Guo Yedao: "The reason why it can cause such an effect is because Wechen used one thing. This item is called gunpowder. ”

"Gunpowder, I've never heard of that name before."

"If this object is ignited with fire, it will explode violently. The light and the loud noise, and even the great vibration, all come from this. The servants of the Xincheng monk were all dressed up by our Tang army, and on the third watch that night, they lit gunpowder and blew up four high platforms in an instant. ”

"There are also such militaristic weapons," His Majesty Li Er said with great joy: "This thing can be easily made into Qin Guogong, but there is a recipe"

"The recipes and materials for making gunpowder are very simple, and if Your Majesty wants it, Weichen can offer it. However, "

"What is the recipe for this thing, I will count you as a great achievement. immediately sealed Yuan Ruoshuang as Mrs. Ren Guo. ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Wechen is not asking for credit, I mean"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Liang interrupted: "Do you still have gunpowder in your hands now?"

"In order to blow up the four high platforms, I used half of the gunpowder. There is still half of it left, and the Duke of Confixun wants to see the real thing."

"It's not as simple as looking at the real thing"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang kowtowed to His Majesty Li Er and said, "The old minister disrespected the decree and broke into a catastrophe. Fortunately, His Majesty was broad-minded and forgave Weichen. But Weichen himself really can't help it."

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "Don't go around in circles, what do you want to say?"

"Wechen wants to make meritorious contributions"

"How to make meritorious service by wearing sin"

"Although the main force of the Goguryeo army has been destroyed, there are still 100,000 troops in Liaodong City. Wechen is willing to take this city for His Majesty."

"You are the Duke of the Kingdom, it's not that I look down on you. But since you automatically followed me, you've never won a battle. And Liaodong City is a fortified city that Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army can't gnaw down."

"Your Majesty, don't look down on people, as long as you promise a small thing to Zhang, within three days, Weichen will take this city for you."

"What's the matter?"

"Please allocate the remaining half of the gunpowder of Qin Guogong to Weichen"

Guo Ye couldn't help but scolded: "Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, you are guilty of meritorious service, you obviously want to rob me of my credit."
