Ma Yuanju hurriedly explained: "No, I mean that Your Majesty is perverse because of poisoning, not in his own heart, Sheji is very fortunate in the world, it turns out that we all misunderstood Your Majesty, and now I think about it, I am really ashamed."

In the end, Ma Yuanju's eyes were a little red, he sobbed, and continued: "I didn't say it, from now on, I, Ma Zhou, will definitely bow to Your Majesty and die to atone for today's sins."

Guo Ye smiled and said, "Then you misunderstand me"

"What do you misunderstand?"

"Misunderstanding that I am the illegitimate son of His Majesty, and that he is having trouble with me, and now that Your Majesty has decided to reinstate the two adults and me, your third reason for suspicion no longer exists. {Sui}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}Do you still think that I am the illegitimate child of Your Majesty?"

"Well" Ma Yuan bowed and said, "Brother Guo, I'm sorry, Ma Zhou can't apologize to you."

"How"

"Wise people don't do dark things. As long as that rumor is still there, as long as the foolish brother is still the long history of the Jin Palace, the foolish brother has to be a little wary of you and hope that Brother Guo will forgive me."

Guo Ye pointed with his hand and said, "You, you're sour and rotten."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Guo Ye's mind, and he said: "Your Majesty's actions a few days ago have caused dissatisfaction among hundreds of officials, and the undercurrent is surging. I'm afraid you have more than one plan."

Ma Yuanju said: "Now everyone is happy. Let him pass the past. There is a way that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no disciples, so why should Qin Guogong delve into it"

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about Baiguan, but about you, Brother Ma." Let someone Guo advise His Majesty about this plan, is Brother Ma trying his best to promote it?"

"Well, so to speak."

Guo Ye gave a big salute to Ma Zhou and said, "Brother Ma Gaoyi, please accept Guo's worship."

"I can't do it, I can't help it, Qin Guogong please get up quickly"

Guo Ye said sincerely: "It's also that the little brother is stupid, and he only understands it now." Although Guo is a suitable candidate to advise His Majesty, he may not be the only one. If it weren't for Brother Ma's strong recommendation, this candidate wouldn't necessarily be me. ”

"In this matter, although Ma has made some small contributions, it mainly depends on your past reputation. The Duke of Qin sent two envoys to the land of Sanhan, and with just three inches of incorruptible tongue, Goguryeo was turned upside down. On the basis of this merit alone, who else can you do in the matter of exhorting Your Majesty?"

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Brother Ma doesn't have to be too humble. At that time, it was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat it. With Guo's reputation at that time, the hardships of getting the ministers to agree to this matter can be imagined. Not to mention"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid that this plan to advise Your Majesty was not your first choice at that time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that today's Chang'an City would be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Chang'an City. ”

Ma Yuanju waved his hand again and again, and said: "Qin Guogong, you have said too much, why is this why is this?"

Seeing that Guo Ye still wanted to say more, Ma Yuanju hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this, it's not too early, if you don't have anything else, the foolish brother will retire for the time being." ”

Guo Ye saluted again and said: "All in all, Brother Ma's kindness today, Guo will be rewarded."

Ma Yuan raised his hand and said, "You don't have to complain that I am a rigid brother who is a brother, Ma will be satisfied." We've been friends for many years, but Ma has always regarded you as a little brother."

He sighed lightly and continued: "Although creation makes people, now that my brother has to become your enemy in a sense. But the foolish brother still hopes that you can go smoothly and be free from disasters and difficulties. ”

The next day, His Majesty Li Er fulfilled his promise and issued two holy decrees in a row.

In the first holy decree, His Majesty Li Er claimed that his body was so poisonous that he acted in a coma a few days ago. Fortunately, Qin Guogong discovered the thief's treacherous scheme, which brought him to his senses again.

Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Cen Wenwen and Guo Ye should be reinstated. Qin Guogong rescued the driver meritoriously and rewarded 300 households.

As soon as this holy decree was made, the depression of the court in the past few days was swept away, and the government and the opposition were jubilant.

However, the second decree is far less popular with the ministers than the first.

This decree is to depose Ji Xin's position as the city god. In the future, the Chenghuang of Chang'an City is Zhuoyuan, the Chenghuang grandmother is arsenic, and the deputy Chenghuang is Li Luojia. Yousi should quickly rebuild the City God Temple and shape the golden body for these people.

Who is Zhuo Yuan, who is arsenic, and who is Li Luojia, and everyone doesn't know, this holy decree is really inexplicable. People looked at each other. Talk

Guo Ye re-became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was really in charge of this matter. So he coughed and told Zhuo Yuan, arsenic and the stupid tiger Li Luojia's past.

After listening to this, people were quite unimpressed.

Come to think of it, these three people did not have official positions before, and what they did was not to save the society from peril. With this bit of credit, these three actually took the position of Ji Xin's city god, no need to ask, there must be a cat among them

Of course, this cattiness is also obvious. They were all Guo Ye's subordinates during their lifetimes, and this holy decree was issued at such a sensitive moment, so there is no need to ask, it must have been Guo Ye who made this holy decree from His Majesty Li Er.

This is really a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven.

Although he secretly slandered himself, no one stood up to persuade His Majesty Li Er to retract his fate.

After all, it is just a small city god, and it has no impact on the government, so why should everyone touch His Majesty's bad head in this kind of thing

Besides, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. Qin Guogong has just made such a great achievement, even if it is only for the sake of Qin Guogong's face, it is not appropriate to dwell on this matter.

The days passed day by day, the City God Temple was also renovated, and in the sound of firecrackers, Chang'an City ushered in a new City God.

It's a pity that the people of Chang'an City, like those officials, are not interested in these new city gods.

The incense in the City God Temple is very scarce, and Guo Ye is deeply worried about it.

Although before the crossing, Guo Ye was an outright atheist. But after experiencing such an unscientific thing as crossing over, if Guo Ye is still indifferent to the theory of ghosts and gods, his nerves will be too big.

The current Guo Ye can be called a pan-believer. I believe in everything, but I don't believe in anything.

For example, in the matter of Zhuo Yuan and the three being named City Gods, if His Majesty Li Er did not take the initiative to seal them, Guo Ye would not have taken the initiative to promote this matter.

But now that the three of them have been canonized, Guo Ye still hopes that their incense will be vigorous. What if this position of the City God is really good for them?

So, Guo Ye ordered someone to paint the exploits of Zhuo Yuan and others on the wall of the City God Temple. He also sent people to publicize the deeds of these people in densely populated places in teahouses and wine shops.

In the end, he also said that Master Xuanzang was moved, and when he preached to the believers, he preached more to the new Chenghuang of Chang'an City. Master Xuanzang was hindered by Guo Ye's affection, so he could only obey his fate.

What I didn't expect was that this set of combination punches came down, but the result was still very ineffective. People do admire the righteous deeds of Zhuoyuan's three people, but it doesn't stop there, so they don't worship them as gods.

In the end, in desperation, Guo Ye had to make a big move. This time, he no longer preached that these people killed the enemy to serve the country and sacrificed themselves for the country, but mythologized the three of Zhuoyuan.

At the beginning, in order to protect the thousand-year-old peace of Buddhism in the Central Plains, Guo Ye once proposed a plan to change the monks to save Buddhism. For this plan, he also took out the Journey to the West in later generations.

In Journey to the West, there is a plot of Tang Wang's visit to the underworld, which was deleted by him because it involved slander against His Majesty Li Er. Now it's time to take out this story, adapt it slightly, and promote the exploits of Zhuo Yuan and the three of them.

In the story compiled by Guo Yexin, the Dragon King of Jinghe committed the Heavenly Rule, and the prisoner was Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng. In order not to be killed by Wei Zheng, he begged the head of the Tang Emperor.

His Majesty Li Er agreed, and dragged Wei Zheng to play chess. But for a moment of negligence, the old dragon still died. In the end, a wisp of the dragon king's soul came to the palace to ask for his life.

It was in order to avenge Lao Long that His Majesty Li Er deposed Wei Zheng. But the Dragon King of Jinghe still didn't give up, and even pulled his soul into the underworld.

In the city of Xudu, His Majesty Li Er was besieged by the ghost army of the Jiancheng Yuanji belt. Fortunately, Zhuo Yuan and the three of them arrived, not only saving his life, but also beating the dragon ghost who wanted to take revenge.

In the end, of course, everyone is happy. Li Shimin returned to Yang, and Wei Zhengguan was reinstated. All of this is the work of Zhuo Yuan's three people. The three of them have such a supernatural feat, wouldn't it be natural to seal the city god

The content of this story is bizarre, the plot twists and turns, and fascinating. Guo Ye believes that as long as it is taken out, it will definitely be popular in the world, and the incense of Zhuoyuan and the three of them will not be a problem at all.

The only thing to worry about is the attitude of His Majesty Li Er. In order to obtain his understanding, Guo Ye personally entered the palace to face the saint. His Majesty Li Er finished listening, but he laughed

He said: "This story is well written, much better than the poisoning theory, in the poisoning theory, Wei Zheng was degraded for no reason, and I have something wrong." And this story is that Wei Zheng was at fault first, and I had to demote his official. so that you may preach it accordingly."

After settling the matter of the City God Temple, the poisoning case of His Majesty Li Er will be over. As for the mastermind behind the arrest of this case, it can only be slowly figured out.

Guo Ye carefully took stock of the impact of this case on the DPRK situation, and the biggest beneficiary of this case is undoubtedly himself.

He suddenly changed from everyone shouting and beating the ministers to a big hero who turned the tide, and successfully got out of the public opinion trend of Wang Gui's death. In addition, there is also a posthumous mourning for the deceased subordinates.

The second beneficiary is Guo Ye's elder brother Wei Chigong. He didn't do anything, so he got a military secretary for nothing.

As for the third beneficiary, that is His Majesty Li Er. If Guo Ye hadn't discovered the hidden dangers around him, the consequences would be really unimaginable if he continued to eat those pills.

As for the victims of this case, it seems that there really isn't

Of course, this is just Guo Ye's personal opinion. One person completely disagreed with him.

In the secret room of the Qi Palace, a person gritted his teeth and said: "Guo Ye, it's all your good thing to ruin me, I'm going to break your body into ten thousand pieces."

The person who said this was none other than the Zhongshu Shilang Cen text.
