Li Yuan's resentment and dissatisfaction with His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanqing, the king of Lu, Li Yuanfang, the king of Daoxiao, and others deliberately re-established the abolished prince Li Chengqian and reinstated the throne, which made Guo Ye not only smell a strong smell of conspiracy, but also made Guo Ye feel a chill in his heart.

This chill comes from, why do they dare to speak so shamelessly in front of themselves? Don't they know that I am His Majesty Li Er's man? So blatantly showed his indignation against His Majesty Li Er in front of himself, and so blatantly sought his support to support and support Li Chengqian to reinstate with them.

Guo Ye couldn't help but wonder, a prince who had abdicated, and three concubines who had no real power in their hands, where did they get such a big confidence? What do they rely on?

Li Yuan's cloudy old eyes that fell on Guo Ye suddenly bloomed, maybe he guessed Guo Ye's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled: "Guo Aiqing, do you think it's very abrupt for a widow to say these things in front of you?" Or is it that the widow knows that you are the hands of the people, but he discusses such a confidential matter with you, and feels very frightened? Are you secretly criticizing the widow in your heart for being confused, knowing that you are a favored courtier in front of the people, but discussing this kind of thing with you is not seeking the skin of the tiger? Yes and no? ”

There is no accident, Li Yuan has not missed anything, Guo Ye's thoughts have all been guessed by him, as if all the secrets in his heart have been exposed to the sun, and there is nothing to hide.

Who knew that Li Yuan's withered old face flashed a little weird, and he stretched out his hand to Li Yuanfang, the Taoist filial piety king who was sitting opposite, and signaled, "Yuanfang, take out the things." ”

Li Yuanfang sighed, took out something that looked like an account book from his arms, then stood up and respectfully handed it to Li Yuan's hand.

Just when Guo Ye was curious about what this account book was like, Li Yuan had already opened the account book and asked himself: "Guo Qing, Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy Guan Jiu, this person is your right-hand man, right?" ”

Guan dove?

Why do you mention the dove for no reason?

However, Guan Jiu was brought to Yangzhou when he was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou, and was promoted to the post of Yangzhou salt transportation envoy, which is no longer a shady secret, and everything must be said to others.

Immediately, he hummed noncommittally in acknowledgement.

Li Yuan didn't look at Guo Ye, but continued to look at the account books and read: "Guan Jiujiu has been the salt transportation envoy of Yangzhou for about a year, right?" Hehe, do you know how much silver your subordinate coveted during his tenure as a salt transport envoy and secretly withheld how much salt tax to enrich his own pockets? ”

Airplanes~

Guo Ye's brain seemed to have been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and he was shocked for a while, Guan Jiu was greedy and withheld the salt tax? How did I not know?

But as soon as he thought of Guan Jiu's temperament, and then looked at the account book in Li Yuan's hand, he was shocked in his heart, it seems that it is true.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly became angry, and secretly scolded, this dog's dove, Lao Tzu has already explained to him, don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand, he is actually Lao Tzu's words are the wind in his ears?

Li Yuan slowly raised his head, taking in the changes in Guo Ye's expression, and a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, as if he had expected Guo Ye's accident.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to flip through the account book and read: "How much does Guo Qing know about the white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang? ”

The white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang?

How could Li Yuan also know about Wang Bodang's existence?

Guo Ye panicked at this time, and asked angrily: "Emperor Taishang, what do you want to do with your old man?" ”

Li Yuan slowly closed the account book, to be exact, it should be a notebook, chuckled, and said with a smile: "Guo Qing, if it weren't for the huge manpower and material resources spent to investigate you, I really didn't know that you were hiding so deeply, and even Wang Bodang had a deep relationship. ”

"I don't know!"

Guo Ye shook his head and denied it: "The white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang, Weichen has heard of this legendary figure, but he doesn't know him. ”

"Hahaha...... Guo Qing is a little insincere! ”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Wang Bodang, when he followed Li Mi, the widow had met him a few times. It's a pity that this person is stubborn and only loyal to Li Mi alone, and he can't be used by my Datang, so he finally fell off the cliff and died. However, people are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect him to be dead, he was actually the leader of the bandits in the Wild Wolf Valley in the area of Xichuan Metropolitan Protectorate, and he had dealings with Guo Qing, who was the protector of Xichuan Xiaodu at the time. As for why he later formed a wild wolf army and stationed in the Tuyuhun country, this is impossible to investigate. However, when Guo Qing subdued the Tuyuhun Kingdom, Wang Bodang and his wolf army contributed a lot to Guo Qing. Tuyuhun was subdued by Guo Qing, and after the matter was completed, Wang Bodang lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and handed over the wild wolf army formed by himself to Guo Qing's hands, hehe, now the wild wolf army has been divided into several forces, and the general who commands these wild wolf troops is the team that Guo Qing pulled up at the beginning, right? Pang Feihu...... Combo...... These generals stationed in various cities in Tuyuhun Road are all Guo Qing's henchmen, right? ”

Cold~

Guo Ye shivered all over his body, and a chill gradually crept up from his back, Li Yuan actually knew these things so clearly, it was terrifying.

Except for Yu Wenqian and Dongchang, which were not investigated by Li Yuan, other things have been discovered by Li Yuan.

The words have been said to this point, and Guo Ye can no longer deny it, he raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Emperor Taishang, you ...... You're investigating me behind your back? ”

"Hey...... Guo Qing, it's not that no one has the heart to investigate you. It's ......"

Li Yuan pointed at Guo Ye and sneered: "It's Guo Qing, the speed of your rise is too shocking, so no one can't pay attention to you." Unexpectedly, I accidentally found such things. Okay, you Guo Aiqing, you really hide it deep enough! Wang Bodang, tsk, you are actually friends with my Li Mi's remnant white-clothed divine arrow Wang Bodang. If the widow stabbed this in front of my son who was the emperor, what do you think he would think of Guo Qing? ”

What do you think?

Of course, Guo Ye knew that His Majesty Li Er knew the consequences of this matter, although His Majesty Li Er would not cut off his head because of his relationship with Wang Bodang, but at least from now on, there will inevitably be a layer of separation.

This is not what Guo Ye wants to see.

However, he was very curious about why Li Yuan was able to find Wang Bodang, who had retired to the mountains and forests.

Immediately, he asked, "Emperor Taishang, how did you find out about Wang Bodang?" ”

Li Yuan shook his head silently, then beckoned to Li Yuanfang on the opposite side, and signaled, "Yuanfang, you come and tell him!" ”

Li Yuanfang sighed, looked at Guo Ye, and said: "Now the general manager of the march of Tuyuhun Road is Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, and your henchmen and generals are all on errands under the king of Hejian County. Therefore, Xiao Gong can only break through one by one from their subordinates to win over. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the so-called wolf army, which is uneven, and someone actually revealed to Xiaogong that the white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang is the real organizer of the wolf army. Therefore, Xiaogong passed this matter to Chang'an and to my father. Yes, Guo Aiqing may not know the relationship between the king of Hejian and my father, right? ”

Guo Ye said secretly, isn't it the relationship between uncle and nephew?

Li Yuanfang paused slightly, and said with some smugness: "My father and his name are uncles and nephews, but Xiaogong has been repeatedly feared and guarded by Li Shimin, so Xiaogong's real allegiance is only to my father. You should get the idea, right? ”

I see!

Kang Bao and Pang Feihu are really negligent, I have repeatedly told them to govern the army strictly, and there will be such a paralyzing and careless thing, alas, it disappoints me so much.

However, Guo Ye was quickly relieved, after all, the number of the wild wolf army was as high as 100,000, and there were all kinds of people with complex ingredients at the beginning, and it was normal for some people with ulterior motives to have them. It is the fact that the big tree has dead branches, and this cannot be avoided.

Suddenly, Guo Ye thought that since they already knew Wang Bodang's identity, and Wang Bodang was living in seclusion in the territory where Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, was located, then ......

Immediately, he guessed apprehensively: "So, Wang Bodang was also found by Li Xiaogong?" ”

"That's right!"

It was Li Yuanfang who spoke, and he smiled: "Not only have I found his whereabouts, but now he has been imprisoned by Xiaogong." But don't worry, we didn't take his life, we didn't torture him, and we didn't let him suffer the slightest grievance. But what happens in the future depends on the attitude of your Pingyang County Prince. ”

Threat!

First of all, Guan Jiu, who was greedy for ink and salt taxes, was caught by them for evidence, and then the sensitive white-clothed Divine Arrow King Bodang was imprisoned by them, it was obvious that Guo Ye saw that Li Yuan and Li Yuanfang wanted to use these two people to force themselves to submit.

Sure enough, Li Yuan spoke again: "Guo Qing, the widow heard that you are a good man who values love and righteousness, and they all say that Guo Ye in Longxi has always protected his shortcomings, and he would rather suffer hardships and suffer crimes himself, and he would never let his brothers and friends suffer half of the grievances." Therefore, the widow believes that you will not watch Guan Jiu be punished for greedy ink, and you will not watch Wang Bodang suffer because of you, and even lose his life, right? ”

Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, Li Yuan did catch Guo Ye's weakness.

Whether it is Guan Jiu or Wang Bodang, Guo Ye doesn't want them to have an accident.

It turned out that this was the reason why Li Yuan dared to talk to His Majesty Li Er so openly and honestly with himself, and it turned out that this was the capital for King Lu and others to ask him to support them in supporting the restoration of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

"Those who know the times are Junjie!"

Li Yuan said slowly: "Guo Aiqing, I believe that you are a clear-eyed person, so you must make a careful choice." ”

Facing Li Yuan's coercion, Guo Ye was indignant and helpless in his heart, and sneered: "Hehe, the Emperor Taishang and the princes are really scheming and scheming. Say, what do you want me to do? ”

"Happy!"

Li Yuan praised it, and then said softly: "First, in a few days, someone in the court will come out to support the restoration of the crown prince, Guo Aiqing, what you have to do is to lead the officials of the Shilin Qingliu system to participate in the grand event to express their attitude and support the prince's reinstatement." Second, you have to send a letter to those henchmen and generals you are stationed in Tuyuhun Road, and ask them to unconditionally obey the dispatch of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County. As for the third, no matter what method you use, you must resign from the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites within two months. ”

Guo Ye's eyes widened, and Qi asked, "Why do you want me to resign from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Li Yuan glanced at Li Yuanfang again, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

And Li Yuanfang, who was on the other side, immediately understood, and smiled at Guo Ye: "Because my father hopes that you can resign from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and then do everything possible to take over the position of Yin Tianzong's leading leader and the general of the Weifu." In other words, my father wants you to be able to control the defense of Chang'an City. ”

Li Yuan raised his head suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice: "That's right, if you want to achieve great things, you must first have the imperial capital Chang'an City in the palm of your hand!" ”
