Chapter Seven: The Prelude to the King (I)
"Guo Ying, are you guilty?"
After a while, Li Shi finally opened his mouth, and the voice was like the roar of a beast, which made Guo Ying feel more and more worried, but this kind of bad feeling that people are killed by knives, I am fish and meat, and life and death are all in the thoughts of others also aroused the fighting spirit in his heart that has not yet been extinguished.
Maybe others will think that the Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five Honor, the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, and the supreme existence that is sacred and inviolable, but Guo Ying, a person in later generations, will not mythologize him in his heart and regard him as a god, let alone "The king calls the minister to die, and the minister does not die is disloyal; The father tells the son to die, and the son does not die for the sake of unfilial piety".
is the Son of Heaven, and if he loses his halo, he is just an ordinary man.
"The minister is guilty." Guo Ying looked up at the noble and majestic figure on the imperial steps, neither humble nor arrogant.
Although he said that he was guilty, his spine was as straight as loose, and there was not much panic and fear on his face.
Seeing him confess his guilt so frankly, Li Shi was stunned, didn't he say that this kid was unruly and stubborn like a donkey, how did he suddenly change his sex.
But at this moment, he didn't bother to care about these details, and after a moment of silence, a cold glint flashed in Li Shi's deep eyes, his lips pursed, and he stared at Guo Ying who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said word by word: "Since you are guilty, then I want to listen to your confession." ”
Guo Ying's face was calm and calm, and his tone was sonorous: "The minister is meddling in his affairs, as a member of the Guo family, he is planning for the Li family everywhere, so that he has repeatedly collided with His Majesty......"
At this point, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Please Your Majesty punish the sin of meddling in your affairs." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked.
Dou Wenchang, who was standing on the side, was even more shocked to pee his pants, he stared at Guo Ying in the hall in disbelief.
He has served two generations of emperors in the palace, and it is the first time he has seen someone rushing into the sky and ridiculing the saint.
At that time, Princess Tang'an Li Hui was also frightened by Guo Ying's unscrupulous remarks, she opened her ruddy cherry lips, staring at the straight and slender back in the hall in a daze, and her beautiful eyes were full of consternation.
Is this Hachiro crazy?
Dare to talk to his father like this, isn't he afraid that his father will kill him in anger?
Even if you don't kill him, I'm afraid you won't spare him......
Thinking of this, Li Hui suddenly felt worried in her heart, and kept glancing at Guo Ying, but the latter turned a deaf ear and just knelt straight to the ground.
This made her anxious and annoyed in her heart, gritted her silver teeth and glanced at Guo Ying fiercely, and knelt in front of Li Shi: "Father, Guo Lang is just ......"
But as soon as her words came out, she saw Li Shi flick her sleeves, get up and leave the bed, and slowly walked to Guo Ying with her hands in hand.
He condescendingly stared at Guo Ying, who was prostrate on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched, outlining a cruel and bloodthirsty arc: "Guo Ying, you are so bold, you dare to speak wildly in front of me, do you think I dare not kill you?" ”
"The grass people are terrified." Guo Ying lowered his eyes and frowned.
"What a scary!" Li Shi laughed angrily: "I ask you, are you the one who overstepped your post and went to the book and discussed the government in vain?" ”
"The grass people heard that the world was rising and falling, and the husband was responsible, so he dared to write a book. If His Majesty thinks that the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty is a family affair of the Li family, then the grass people are indeed suspected of overstepping their duties. Guo Ying arched his hand and said solemnly.
Hearing this, Li Shi was angry at first, and then a trace of complex and incomprehensible emotions flashed in his eyes, including anger, regret, and appreciation.
Of course, he can't refute the words "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", even if he really regarded the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty as a family affair of the Li family, he could not admit it in public.
In case this word spreads to the outer courts, what should those guards who are tireless in the inside, and loyal people who forget their lives outside, think?
Taking a deep breath, Li Shi looked at the young man opposite, and he already had a different meaning, not to mention anything else, he deserved to be a clever tongue.
And this arrogance really impressed him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have dared to imagine that the indulgent dark-colored, hedonistic gentleman in his heart had such a demeanor.
But...... Even if he had a little appreciation in his heart, he didn't intend to let go of this rebellious man like this, thinking that he was the king of a country and the lord of all peoples, how could he have been so wronged?
Thinking of this, Li Shi sneered: "Then I ask you, it was you who beat the court officials?" ”
Guo Ying still held his head high, and he denied it calmly: "Caomin doesn't remember that he has beaten the imperial court officials, but he remembers that he has beaten a thief who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but I don't know, is there a connection between the two?" ”
"Heh, sharp teeth and sharp mouth......" Li Shi snorted coldly, suddenly waved his hand, and glanced at Dou Wenchang, "You go to Concubine Shu to make an announcement, so that he doesn't have to be busy preparing meals, and I will come over later." ”
"Yes, the old slave is retired."
Dou Wenchang naturally understood that the Son of Heaven was deliberately supporting him, and immediately retreated quietly with a group of inner servants Gong'e, but he couldn't help but set off a storm in his heart.
When everyone was dispersed and there were only three people left, Li Shicai returned to the royal couch, but he was afraid that Guo Ying would say something without a king and a father, or something shocking to the world, so he withdrew from everyone, as for whether there was anyone guarding the dark place, who could know better than him, the king of a country.
"Are you talking about how Wei Shaoqing collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?"
After Li Shi sat down, he took a sip of the teacup, and glanced at Guo Ying casually, looking like the angry king just now.
Guo Ying's lowered eyes jumped slightly, and her thoughts turned a thousand times, but in the end she decided to sing this one-man show hard.
Since the words "the rise and fall of the world are the responsibility of the husband" have been said before, and he has built himself into the image of a loyal and righteous person, if he can't say the reason now, wouldn't it be a failure?
Thinking of this, he simply let it go, and said in a deep voice: "In the thirty-eight years since the first year of Tianbao, Tubo has violated our border 38 times, killed and injured hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty soldiers before and after, and plundered people and goods.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo took advantage of the Tang Dynasty border army to enter the Central Plains to quell the turmoil, raised troops to invade, seized our Hexi, Longyou 20 prefectures, and the lower prefectures and counties, most of the military officials were slaughtered, and the strong men and women were all slaves, the old, weak, sick and disabled were unbearable messengers, and they were often killed by Fan'er with the punishment of cutting off their hands and gouging their eyes, and filled in the ravines......
As for the Tang Dynasty soldiers and their families captured by Tibet, they will be punished by torture or piercing bones, and they will be bought and sold as goods.
Not only that, but the grass people also heard that Tubo had implemented the policy of "easy to make and more acceptable" and "easy to say and more words" in the land of Helong...... This move is to make my Han family's sons and daughters turn into Yidi.
This pile of blood and tears, one by one deep hatred, can't Wei Shaoqing see it?
No, he could see it, but the thief turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, and his clever words deceived the saints, blindly advocating the benefits of Tibet.
In the eyes of the grass people, this thief's name is Tang Chen, and he is actually a traitor of the Tang Dynasty, and he is more hateful than Han Zhongxingshuo, Zhang Bin of Jin, and King Maide of Qin, so he beat him. ”
After an impassioned statement, Guo Yingbai fell to the ground: "If Your Majesty thinks that the grass people are not right, please punish the grass people, and the grass people will never complain." ”
After the words fell, Hanliang Hall fell into a dead silence.
After a long time, Li Shi spoke, his tone was still plain, but there was a faint hint of solemnity.
"Are you Liu Chan or Sima Zhen, and you can be deceived casually?"
Guo Yingxin said Of course I know that Hefan is your idea, and Wei Lun is just an officer, but I can't really accuse you of being a saint to your face, right?
After all, even if I think of myself as Wei Zheng, you may not necessarily have Li Erfeng's heart!
Of course, this is what he said in his heart, Guo Ying didn't dare to go to this point, he pursed his lips when he saw this, and made a low posture: "The grass people are stupid, please teach Your Majesty." ”
Li Shi glanced at him and sneered: "You are indeed stupid, you don't even understand the truth of the army that is subdued without a fight in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
And your horizons are too narrow, you can only see the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in a huge world!
Can't you see the courteous and unconvinced feudal towns in the east?
Can't you see the Hui Hui in the north?
Can't you see the Nanzhao at both ends of the first rat in the southwest?
Do you know that the natives of Lingnan rebel every day?
Do you know the financial situation of the imperial court?
At the age of twenty, I became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and I became the prince for fifteen years. You think I don't want to regain lost ground? ”
