"Your Majesty, here's how it ......"

Guo Ye very neatly told the agreement reached with Yanagi Gongliang and others on this trip, without beating around the bush, straight to the point, and quickly clarified the ins and outs of the matter.

Of course, in order not to make a moth, he automatically hid the fact that the crown prince of Caobi came with the group, otherwise, with the temperament of His Majesty Li Er, he would definitely be furious again, scolding the small overseas island country, and the prince of a dignified country came to my Tang capital, and dared not to come to see me?

Guo Ye simply pinched down the matter of Caobi and played a kind lie with His Majesty Li Er.

In addition, he said everything that should be said, and there was no other concealment.

After His Majesty Li Er listened, he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about weighing it.

"Appeal ......"

He sighed lightly, looked at Guo Ye with a flat expression, and nodded: "If you can move the Buddhist sect that has been secretly in cahoots with the Guanlong clan out of the Central Plains, and don't kill more evil, I will naturally like to hear it." Guo Qing, you did a good job. As you said, if the island country of Fusang is full of temples and temples, everyone recites Buddhist scriptures, and everyone is compassionate and compassionate when they open and close their mouths, what deterrent does such a country have for our Tang Dynasty? Yes, yes, your method is the best of both worlds, and I am very satisfied. ”

His Majesty Li Er's unsparing words of praise and praise for Guo Ye's method and held a positive opinion.

Guo Ye retreated a little humbly, but did not speak, because he knew that His Majesty Li Er had something to say.

Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er said again: "Just now you said that there are only two conditions for them, one is that I hope I can meet them in the palace, and the other is that I hope to be able to visit the various markets in Chang'an City. That's all, right? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo Ye smiled on his face and replied: "Actually, these Fusang people are also ghosts. They hope to enter the palace to face the saint, just to get some rewards, as the so-called thieves do not go empty, these Fusang people have crossed the Central Plains dozens of times since the former Sui Dynasty, aren't they all here to take advantage? ”

"Haha, a good thief is not empty, Guo Qing, your mouth is enough to damage."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his palms and smiled: "But if they can solve such a big trouble for me, even if they reward them with some gold, silver and jewelry, what's the matter?" At that time, I asked the household department to prepare some of my Datang specialties for them, such as silk porcelain and tea, which are not a problem. In this way, I can also promote the wealth of my Datang to overseas countries, and let them know that I, the son of the Tang Dynasty, are rich all over the world. ”

Well, Guo Ye is secretly depressed, His Majesty Li Er loves face, and the problem of slapping a swollen face and being fat has been committed again.

"As for visiting my Fang Market in Chang'an City, hehe, I understand their intentions."

His Majesty Li Er still smiled, but his eyes were squinted, and then he said in a reminding tone: "Guo Qing, you are also the leading general in charge of the security of Chang'an City. It's no problem for these people to visit Fang City, how to visit, Guo Qing, you should know how to do it, right? ”

Guo Ye comprehended and said secretly, it seems that His Majesty Li Er has not been so happy that he is dizzy.

Immediately, he nodded in response: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows what to do." These Fusang bird people want to steal teachers to learn art, in a vain attempt to move the technology of forging weapons from the Tang Dynasty and the Central Plains culture to the Fusang Bird Country, which is wishful thinking! ”

"Haha, those who know me, sure enough, Guo Qing is also!"

His Majesty Li Er stroked his palms again and praised with a smile: "Guo Qing, since this matter is taken over by you, then the rest of the matter will be left to you." As for the migration of Buddhist monks to various places, it is necessary for the local state capitals to cooperate with you, and at that time, I will inform the officials department, the military department, the household department, the ritual department and other departments to consult with you on this matter. This is a very huge project, involving nearly hundreds of thousands of monks in ten provinces and hundreds of state capitals, and it is hard for Guo Aiqing. But don't worry, when these Fusang people return to Fusang by boat, it will be the day when you Guo Aiqing move to a new house and move into Suzaku Fang. At that time, I will definitely let the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty come to celebrate your housewarming, and let Guo Aiqing be in the limelight again, hahaha......"

Guo Ye was naturally full of red light when he heard this, and His Majesty Li Er really hit the itching place in his heart with these words, hey, the emperor gave the Zhuque Fang Mansion, this honor In addition to Li Jing, the great hero of the founding of the country, Guo Ye is a scorpion - the only one.

Speaking of Fusang's visit to the group, Guo Ye's mission of entering the palace to face the saint is almost over, and in normal times, he must have turned around and left the palace after three shouts. It is said that a companion is like a tiger, there is no big, Guo Ye to be honest, he doesn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, who knows that His Majesty Li Er, an emperor who likes to squeeze the surplus value of the labor force of his courtiers, will come up with some moths to spread on Guo Ye in a while.

But today, Guo Ye did not take the initiative to resign and leave, but rubbed for a while, stopped talking, twisted and pinched, and did not plan to leave the palace.

His Majesty Li Er noticed Guo Ye's hypocrisy, and couldn't help but smile on his face, as if he had guessed Guo Ye's caution, and asked: "Guo Qing wants to speak and stop, as if he has something in his heart not to vomit and be unhappy, do you still want to ask why there are lights and red and green everywhere in the Ganlu Palace, and I want to ask the queen what happy things are coming?" ”

"Shhh...... The saint really sees thousands of miles, and the minister can't hide it from the emperor at all! ”

Guo Ye slapped his ass fiercely, and smiled shamelessly: "Your Majesty, it's okay if the minister didn't enter this manna hall today, but after entering the hall, I looked at it all the way, and it was really itching." Hey, this curiosity, it's really, hey, hey~"

"I know that if you kid doesn't find out, he will definitely not let go."

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Guo Ye angrily, and finally explained the reason: "Let me tell you the truth, it will be the queen's birthday in seven days." I originally wanted to give the queen a big time, but she said that it wasn't a tenth birthday, so I didn't want to make a big show, and I didn't want to be extravagant and wasteful, and the city would know about it. So, no, she just wanted to spend a simple birthday in the Manna Palace, so I asked the chamberlains and palace maids to arrange it simply. At that time, there is no plan to entertain the Manchu courtiers. Call the princesses and princes from the queen. ”

"Oh, it's the queen's birthday."

Only then did Guo Ye understand why Empress Changsun didn't want to tell him just now, it turned out that she was worried that she would go out with her mouth and provoke the ministers to compete to celebrate her birthday, and then it would be a big move. And with His Majesty Li Er's face-loving temperament, it is inevitable that he will have to do it extravagantly and wastefully again.

Guo Ye had to sincerely admire it, Empress Eldest Sun, she is really a virtuous queen, she is so thrifty and low-key, His Majesty Li Er is definitely blessed.

"Hehe, now that Guo Qing already knows about this, then I won't be petty," His Majesty Li Er said, "At that time, Guo Qing will also come to the birthday banquet in seven days." Among the princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Guo Qing was the only one who came to attend the queen's birthday banquet. But you have to promise me not to spread it, otherwise it will make the queen unhappy, and I will be guilty of too much. ”

As soon as Guo Ye heard the invitation of His Majesty Li Er, this is the birthday private party of the emperor and the empress and their children, and he invited himself alone, this is really a lot of face!

However, he was still humble: "Your Majesty, since the queen mother plans to celebrate her birthday with you and several princesses and princes in Chang'an, it is a little inappropriate for a person with a foreign surname to participate, right?" ”

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "There is nothing inappropriate, speaking of which, Xiuxiu is still my niece, and you are also the niece and son-in-law of me and the queen, and you are also a family." It's okay, Xiuxiu is still in confinement, so I won't invite you. You'll be there when the time comes. But I told you, since you kid participated, you can't be petty. I know that you have a lot of ghost ideas, and when the time comes, you will have to give a gift to the queen, and this gift must be satisfied with the queen and make her happy. ”

"Uh......"

Guo Ye was dumbfounded for a while, and said in his heart, okay, I know where His Majesty Li Er would be so enthusiastic and dare to wait for him here.

However, on the birthday of Empress Changsun, it is definitely appropriate to give gifts. But to give a gift that satisfies the eldest grandson empress?

Obviously, this gift can't be too cheesy, and it is specified to be high-end and high-end. But His Majesty Li Er also said that Empress Changsun didn't like to be extravagant and wasteful because of her birthday. That means that this gift must not be measured in terms of money, and it seems too valuable.

Damn, that's a bit difficult.

What should I give?

Guo Ye usually does have a lot of ideas, but now for a while, he really can't think of any most suitable gift.

Now that His Majesty Li Er has sent an invitation, he can't refuse not to come, right?

Moreover, the emperor and queen also have the private body of the prince and princess, just a courtier with a foreign surname, this kind of tall banquet naturally cannot be missed, this is also the emperor's recognition of himself, isn't it?

Since he couldn't think of 0 for a while, he could only go back and think about it.

Immediately, he clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will definitely come to the palace for the banquet as promised, and they will definitely give the queen a gift that will satisfy her and be happy." At present, the minister still has the matter of Fusang's visit to deal with, so he will leave the palace first. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go, get down to business, I'm listening to your good news in the palace~"

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and motioned for Guo Ye to retreat from the palace.
