Chapter 1701: The Empress is Please
Guo Ye shook his head and said, "What do you mean...... Your Majesty? ”
Ma Yuanju sighed and said, "To be precise, it was His Majesty who robbed the people's daughters. ”
"Robbing people's daughters? Your Majesty can still do such a thing? Brother Ma, tell me more about it. ”
"This matter is spreading, you can make it clear after a little inquiry, and you don't need to talk too much about me. Besides, I don't think the bitter lord has the courage to go to your mansion to complain. Brother Wei just reminds you that there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City, and you must be cautious when taking on the case. There are some things that we can't control......"
Ma Yuanju's image in front of Guo Ye has always been honest and upright, not afraid of being strong. Violent. It is really commendable to be able to say these words today, Guo Ye bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you Brother Ma for the reminder." ”
"You don't think you're reckless for your brother today, thank God for being your brother! Speaking of which, it's really providential...... Forget it, let's not talk about it...... Brother Xian, please go back, go for your brother...... Ha ha! Ha ha! Ma Yuanju laughed twice and turned away!
Looking at Ma Yuanju's back as he walked away, Guo Ye muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing so fast?" Are you afraid that I will see your tears? You guy...... Is...... Alas! ”
Guo Ye understands that no matter how good his friendship with Ma Yuanju is. As long as Ma Zhou is still the long history of the Jin Palace, as long as the rumor that he is the illegitimate son of His Majesty Li Er still exists. Even if he really swore a poisonous oath, Ma Zhou would always look at himself with a vigilant eye.
But at the same time, if someone wants to deal with him, Ma Yuanju will also do his best to protect it.
All in all, Ma Zhou is a true gentleman.
To be able to be friends with a true gentleman, I don't know if it's my luck or not.
Ma Yuanju's matter can be put aside first, no matter what, this person will not secretly make a stumbling block for himself, and there is no real threat to himself.
But Chang'an makes the threat of this hot potato imminent.
Guo Ye had already heard Wei Chigong say that it was Wei Ting, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who recommended him to be Chang'an. Wei Ting is the father-in-law of Li You, the king of Qi, and he is born with the "King of Qi Party, and Li You, the king of Qi, is bound to deal with himself quickly." No need to ask, Wei Ting's recommendation is a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken - not well-intentioned.
His Majesty Li Er robbed the people's daughter?
Ma Yuanju said, Guo Ye really believed it. Don't look at His Majesty Li Er as a wise man through the ages, he really did this kind of thing. Seriously, His Majesty Li Er's personal morality is really not good. The change of Xuanwumen to kill his brother and kill his brother can also be explained as being forced to be helpless. But after killing Li Yuanji, how to explain that Li Yuanji's wife was included in the harem?
Besides, the robbery of people's daughters is definitely a serious criminal case in the eyes of modern society. But in feudal society, especially for the emperor, it was not a matter at all. The Emperor Day woman has a special name called "Xing".
Your Majesty, you are your honor, it is the honor of your whole family, why don't you hurry up and thank the emperor?
Therefore, even if His Majesty Li Er really did such a thing, it would not be a big deal. Otherwise, there is a saying that the king does not see the wife of the minister, because he is afraid that the king will see the wife of the minister and give the wife of the minister "lucky". The chastity of the courtier's wife is so insecure, let alone a people's daughter?
Although Ma Yuanju said that the bitter master may not have the courage to sue, Guo Ye does not dare to take it lightly. According to Murphy's Law, if you're worried about something happening, it's more likely to happen. At this time, don't take precautions, when someone really complains, you will be blind.
If you don't take the complaint, kick out the accuser? Our little brother Guo really can't do that kind of thing!
Bring His Majesty Li Er to justice? Still don't be kidding, Guo Ye hasn't lived enough!
What if you don't take Your Majesty Li Er, just rescue the robbed folk girl? It's not easy, either. Not to mention that Guo Ye is the illegitimate son of His Majesty Li Er as rumored, even if he is the son of His Majesty Li Er, he doesn't have the courage to do such a thing!
What can I do?
Suddenly, Guo Ye had a flash of inspiration in his mind! His Majesty Li Er has no way there, you can find Empress Changsun! Empress Eldest Sun is in charge of the harem and has the most say in this kind of matter. It is completely her legitimate right to count His Majesty Li Er for this kind of thing.
Even if Empress Changsun didn't dare to trouble His Majesty Li Er, it would be okay to secretly let the robbed folk girl go, right?
Our little brother Guo is not so jealous and hateful, as long as the robbed girl can return safely, it can be regarded as worthy of his conscience.
Now the question is, how can I meet the eldest grandson empress?
Guo Ye thought about it, and there really was no suitable reason. His Majesty Li Er gave him half a month's vacation, to put it bluntly, he was allowed to accompany his wife at home and enjoy the joy of family. Even if he really has something important, he still wants to see His Majesty Li Er, what's the matter with looking for Empress Changsun in a hurry?
When Guo Ye was thinking about the reason to see the eldest grandson, the old housekeeper ran in and said, "Grandpa Guo, the queen has a decree, you should go and receive the decree." ”
Guo Ye has received the decree many times, but it is the first time to receive the decree. Although he is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he really doesn't know how to receive Yizhi, and said, "Old butler, do you know the rules for receiving Yizhi?" ”
The old butler scratched his head and said, "Grandpa Guo, are you sure you want to ask me about this kind of thing?" ”
"Uh...... Count me not asking! Whoever is the herald, take me to him......"
"It's in the living room."
"Lead the way!"
The messenger was a middle-aged eunuch, who was quite tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, handsome and mighty, if he put on two mustaches, he would be a standard beautiful man. Guo Ye sighed in his heart when he saw it, if he didn't become a eunuch, he would be able to make a lot of money even if he was a duck.
As soon as the eunuch saw Guo Ye, he knelt on the ground and said, "The old slave eldest Sun Liyan participates in the Duke of Qin!" ”
Guo Ye was taken aback by the abrupt action of the eldest grandson Liyan, and hurriedly helped him up, saying, "Father-in-law of the eldest grandson, I can't help it!" I can't help it! You come to pass on the decree, which represents the queen's mother. I'm the only one to kowtow to. How can you kowtow to me? It's really tormenting Guo someone. ”
The eldest grandson said: "Don't panic when it comes to the Duke of Qin. Before coming, the queen mother told her that the Duke of Qin was the white jade pillar of our Tang Dynasty, and the purple and golden beams of the sea. I want the old slave to be courteous when he sees the Duke of Qin, and he must not neglect the countryman! In addition, the queen mother also specially confessed that you don't have to kneel when you read the will! ”
"And you're going to do it now?"
"The queen's dictation, Qin Guogong receives the order!"
"Wechen greets the Holy Order!"
"Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin, immediately followed the eldest grandson Liyan into the palace to see the driver......"
"Yes!"
This is really trying to doze off and touch the pillow, Guo Yezheng is worried that there is no legitimate reason to enter the palace to see the eldest grandson, and the queen of the eldest grandson summoned him to the edict came! He thought to himself, could this be the legendary heart? We are really compatible with the eldest grandson queen!
He said, "Father-in-law, eldest grandson, please wait a while, I'll change my clothes and come." ”
"No need! The queen mother let you enter the palace immediately, so go with the old slave now! ”
In such a hurry?
Guo Ye took out a lump of gold ingots from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, saying, "Father-in-law eldest grandson, can you tell me, what is the matter with the queen mother?" ”
The eldest grandson waved his hand again and again, and said, "Qin Guogong, don't harm me!" The old slave has 10,000 guts, and he doesn't dare to accept your gold. ”
Guo Ye really saw a eunuch who didn't charge money for the first time, and said: "I, Guo Ye, am a good friend. I met my eldest grandson today, and it was like a familiar sight. Between friends, there is a friendship of wealth. If you hold this piece of gold, even if the queen mother knows, you can't say that yours is not. ”
The eldest grandson Liyan smiled slightly and said, "Qin Guogong, you still don't know who the old slave is, right?" ”
Guo Ye's heart moved, and said: "Your surname is the eldest grandson, is it the eldest grandson's mother...... Relatives? ”
The eldest grandson Liyan's legs were weak, so he didn't lie down in fright, and said, "Don't dare to talk nonsense!" Who am I, and how can I be a relative of the queen's mother? To tell the truth, the old slave's original surname was Wang, and his name was Wang Liyan. Just ten years ago, a disaster occurred in the family, and the family was almost destroyed. Later, Mengguo's uncle and eldest grandson were rescued without jealousy, and they survived. Uncle Guo's great kindness, the villain could not repay it, so he changed his surname to the eldest grandson and volunteered to be a slave. ”
"Then why did you come back to ...... This one...... Serving the Empress of the Eldest Sun? ”
"At that time, His Majesty favored Princess Qi, and there was a meaning of abolishing the queen. The queen mother was lonely in the palace, and the uncle sighed all night. The old slave was anxious in his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and he cut himself! Only then was he able to enter the palace to give advice to the queen. ”
The so-called Princess Qi naturally refers to the wife of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. His Majesty Li Er can withstand huge pressure and include her in the palace, no matter what you ask, you can know that this woman must have a fatal attraction to His Majesty Li Er. If she threatens the status of the eldest grandson empress, then it is really possible.
can help Empress Changsun stabilize the throne, this eldest grandson Liyan can really be called a caring person of Empress Changsun. Guo Ye said: "It turns out that the eldest grandson queen still has such merits, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! ”
The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, "Old slave, let's tell you this, not to show you merit." But to tell you, my eldest grandson Liyan doesn't want that thing in the crotch of the eldest grandson's family, let alone money? As long as you are loyal to the queen, my eldest grandson will be grateful. As for the gold and silver things, you should keep them for yourself. ”
After a while, he softened his tone and continued, "As for why you want to ask the queen mother why she is in a hurry to see you. To be honest, we don't know. But what we can be sure of is that today's events are only good for you, and there is no harm, so you should hurry up and go with the old slave! ”
The eldest grandson said that he would not accept bribes, and Guo Ye had no good way, so he had to say: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words!" ”
With the guidance of the eldest grandson Liyan, Guo Ye didn't have much effort and came to the outside of the Ganlu Palace.
The eldest grandson Shunde stopped and said, "Qin Guogong, the queen mother is inside, you can go in!" ”
"You're not going in?"
"The queen mother has confidential matters to talk to you, how can the old slave be qualified to listen?"
"Confidential? In this way, in the Manna Palace, there is only the queen mother? ”
"Exactly!"
Guo Ye listened and thought secretly, so to speak, this was another lonely meeting of a lonely man and a widow. Queen Mother, this ...... Is it appropriate?
