After the announcement of the five edicts, the tense and cramped scene finally relaxed, and the ministers bowed again.

Immediately, the music sounded again, and the ministers danced and shouted long live, and worshiped again, so far, the court meeting has come to an end.

This, of course, is relative to the majority of lower- and middle-level officials.

For the emperor, the promulgation of the edict was at most an appetizer, followed by the important ministers to live long, to encourage the governors of the states, to take the history examination class as the master, and to receive the envoys of the Fanbang...... And so on.

Shangshou came according to the status of the ministers, and the first person to toast to the emperor was Taiwei and Zhongshu Ling Guo Ziyi.

He went to His Majesty, and after the wine was spoken, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty does not think that the minister is too old to be useful, and the important position of the minister is entrusted to the secretary of the order, but it is a pity that the old minister has no knowledge of people, and the second has no ability to help the people through the world.

Please remember that the minister is old and frail, and has no time to take care of government affairs, and the quasi-minister will return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life. ”

Guo Ziyi said, then knelt on the ground, put cold floor tiles on his forehead, and did not move.

When Li Shi heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled indifferently: "Father Shang is the pillar of the country, how can I abandon the country and go, and I take Father Shang as the lieutenant in the order, and it is not for the sake of assisting the government, but for the sake of strengthening the spirit of the soldiers of the border city, and the heart of Du Rong Ghost watching."

If Shang's father goes, and the Rong ghost (referring to Tubo) violates the realm, who can deserve it, please don't beg for bones again. ”

Li knew that Guo Ziyi was not a person who coveted power, and he also knew that he was sincere in saying that he would return to his hometown, but he did not intend to let him go.

Guo Ziyi was in the Suzong Dynasty and the two dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, destroying the Kou, cleansing the two rivers, and retreating from the poor and ugly, if he really let his people leave the temple, some people think that he is mean and unkind, and he can't tolerate people!

Of course, he was always a little jealous of Guo Ziyi in his heart, so at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he secretly belittled his Mingzun, seized his power, and then saluted him to prevent changes, but he was never willing to reveal his true thoughts in his heart, which was criticized by the current and even future generations.

There are some things that should not be done too much, and if they are excessive, they will be damaged.

When Guo Ziyi heard this, he felt full of pain, he really felt old and frail, and he didn't want to stay in the court anymore, but the emperor insisted on keeping it, and when he heard the emperor's high-sounding words, even if he was reluctant, it was not easy to show it.

Fortunately, he was a transparent person, and seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, he no longer mentioned the matter of returning to his hometown, and only bowed down and said: "The old minister has now passed the year of the cane, and he sees that half of his body has been put into the ground, and the only thing that can not be relieved is the eighth son Guo Ying, who served in the feudal town.

I also hope that His Majesty can transfer him back to Beijing and give him an idle post, so that when he goes to the old minister, he will not even be able to see him for the last time. ”

When he had finished speaking, he bowed again.

It's not in order.

Although in the early Tang Dynasty, because of his contribution to the founding of the country by Li Tang, or because of the great exploits made by his ancestors and fathers, the official position held by Princess Shang was basically not greatly affected, and he could affect the decision-making and implementation of national affairs, hold local military and political power, and control a certain army.

But after the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's horse class suffered a devastating blow and declined, and even personal safety was not guaranteed, let alone holding certain political rights, but after the restoration of Zhongzong, the power of the horse class had a short recovery.

However, immediately afterward, Wei Jie and Wei Hao, who controlled the camps left and right of the forbidden army, participated in the chaos of Wei Hou and brought the horse class into the abyss.

When Emperor Daizong Li Yu performed the supreme system of Liuhe, he even issued an order, "The fifth rank of the emperor is already a relative, and he is not allowed to marry a general." horses, county lords' sons-in-law, not allowed to travel with military generals", by preventing the marriage between the imperial family and the military general's family, to prohibit the imperial family, including the horse, from getting involved in military power, and even restricting the social interaction of the horse.

Of course, this is a bit of an edict in the face, in order to stabilize Heshuo's rebellion, he didn't marry his daughter to Heshuo's generals.

But there was really no special case for the horses in the dynasty to be in charge of the army, so Guo Ziyi would take the opportunity to propose to Li Shi that Guo Ying enter Beijing.

Moreover, he never thought that the heir Princess Shang was a glorious thing, in the past, all the sons of Li Si were still princesses of Qin, and the daughters married the sons of Qin, and in the end they were not wiped out by the three clans.

It's better to ignore the government and politics.

Guo Ziyi's voice fell, Li Shi suddenly felt in a dilemma, he chose Guo Ying as a concubine in the first place, although he had the intention of following his daughter Tang An's intentions, but more importantly, he valued Guo Ying's style of a general, and looked forward to his son inheriting his father's business, just like Wang Ben inherited his father's style to defeat Chu, destroy Wei, Yan, Zhao, and Qi, and become a sword in the hands of the Tang royal family.

If so, what is he bothering so much to do?

Even if the scholar and the family are unwilling to marry the princess, he can still marry his daughter to those noble families who have been married to the royal family for generations, anyway, they dare not refuse in order to keep their glory and wealth.

Li Shi frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look directly at Guo Ziyi, and replied softly: "I know that Shang's father wants this son to be on his knees, and I also know that it is not in accordance with the law to lead the army.

However, at this time, the country is eventful, there is Tubo in the west, there is Huifu in the north, there is Nanzhao in the southwest, Lingnan and Annam have the natives to rebel, Xianghan Liang Chongyi is respectful and unconvinced, Ziqing Li Zhengji colluded with Bohai and Silla, and the soldiers and horses were strong, and the traces were already clear, and the three towns of Heshuo also had many different ambitions.

The country is surrounded by wolves, and if there are no good generals to defend and attack, it will not be dangerous. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shi paused, and after pondering for a moment, he continued: "At this critical autumn of survival, a brave and resolute and flesh-and-blood general like Guo Ying is needed to kill the enemy and defend the territory for my Tang Dynasty, and I can't bear to live up to his ambitions, so I decided to leave him in Jingyuan."

I hope that Father Shang can understand my painstaking efforts, and if Father Shang is unwilling, then I will not force it...... In the world, there is no reason not to let father and son get together and reunite. ”

He said this beautifully, not only explaining why Guo Ying was not recalled to Beijing to be awarded an important position, but also vaguely indicating his unwillingness to let Guo Ying return to Beijing.

Hearing his words, Guo Ziyi couldn't help frowning, he lowered his head silently, his expression was gloomy, as if he was struggling.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled the turbid air that had been accumulated in his chest for a long time, and returned to his seat with some thanks.

Holding on to the profit, it is not as good as it is; It cannot be kept forever; The house is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it; Rich and proud, self-blame; The way to retreat from the sky.

Guo Ziyi thought to herself, Balang Guo Ying hadn't even learned his way of behaving, how could he become a retired Wang Ben, let alone protect the Tang Dynasty!

Of course, what he is more afraid of is that Guo Ying's talent will not be able to support his ambition and push the Guo family to a situation from which he will never recover.

As soon as she thought of this, Guo Ziyi closed her eyes and sighed, and stopped talking.

He can't manage the affairs of his children and grandchildren if he wants to
