Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Who is Kang Yueshan?

Captain Zhechong of Yizhou Prefecture, in charge of the soldiers of the prefecture, is an indisputable local snake.

Even though he was a fifth-rank martial official, he didn't care about the big and small issues when he faced him as a seventh-rank literary official.

The key is to go to the Kang family in Yizhou by myself, to gouge out Kang Yueshan's heart, and to let his daughter be Guo Ye's concubine.

It's justified first, guilt later, where can Kang Yueshan give himself a good face?

No, no, offending Kang Yueshan, causing Kang Yueshan to be furious, and he is still working as a county magistrate in Longxi, thinking about it, this is not a good deal.

Seeing this, Guo Ye also got up, held Leng Tianlin's shoulders on the verge of running away, slowly pressed him down, sat back in his original position, and comforted him: "Brother Tianlin, don't worry, listen to me first. I'll tell you."

Afterwards, he talked eloquently: "Brother Tianlin to tell you the truth, Miss Kang Jia Zhiru and I have long been in love with each other, this girl has a heart in her heart that it is I, Guo Ye, who will not marry. This is free love!"

After Guo Ye finished speaking, he turned his face away slightly, for fear that Leng Tianlin would feel ashamed when he saw that he was shameless.

After a pause, he turned his face again, looked at Leng Tianlin and continued: "Secondly, my relationship with the Kang family is also very harmonious, Kang Bao, the eldest son of the Kang family, has a friendship with my brothers, and is quite valuable in our Xichuan army. When you go this time, you just need to mention to Kang Yueshan that after the younger brother Dingyou has kept his filial piety, I will recommend Kang Bao to succeed him in Xichuan Xiaodufufu after his younger brother Dingyou has kept his filial piety. Kang Yueshan will definitely think about it. The importance of it. Don't worry, you only need to be a matchmaker, and this time you will be able to succeed."

Well?

After listening to Guo Ye's analysis, Leng Tianlin couldn't help calming down, especially the second point, about recommending Kang Bao to succeed Xichuan Xiaodu.

Could it be that this is a deal between two marriages?

If this is the case, then this matter can really be done.

However, he was still a little puzzled, and asked directly: "Master Guo, you have a lot of talented people under you, and you keep in touch with me, why did you let Leng take this trip for you?" Exchanging this bargaining chip from the Cao Gang? Isn’t this a little unnecessary?”

"Good question!"

Guo Ye praised, pointed to the scholar robe that Leng Tianlin was wearing now, and said with a smile, "Hehe, isn't it because County Magistrate Leng is a scholar, you are a second-ranked Jinshi and the first-born. Think about it." , old man Kang is a martial artist, you, a dignified Jinshi literati, came to propose marriage for your younger brother in person, isn’t the old guy honorable? My younger brother has done enough for old man Kang, how can he not agree? "

Listening to Guo Ye's words, Leng Tianlin was also a little smug, and also, he was a No. 7 Jinshi in the second list, a dignified seventh-rank Longxi parent official, and he went to Kang's mansion to protect the media and pull fiber. Yue Shan really should feel honored.

No way, who made the Tang Dynasty now in a state of peace, the prosperous age emphasizes literature, and the signs of the Zhenguan prosperous age are becoming more and more obvious. The status of literati is like the rising sun in Dongshan, and it is like sesame seeds blooming steadily.

It is the trend of the times that the literati are superior, it is the trend, and it is irreversible.

Generals like Kang Yueshan pay more attention to this.

After listening, thinking, and weighing, the balance in Leng Tianlin's heart tilted again.

but,

From the bottom of his heart, he still resisted the job of mediator pulling the fiber, feeling that he had lost face, and shook his head with some resistance: "Hey, let's forget it, in case Captain Kang disagrees, someone Leng's face is terrible." Where should I put it? In my opinion, Mr. Guo should hire another Gao Ming? By the way, Mr. Guan Jiujiu, the officer in your house who joins the army, isn’t he from a scholar background? Or..."

"No, how can Guan Jiujiu do it?"

Guo Ye suddenly rejected Leng Tianlin's proposal, and complained about Guan Jiujiu: "No, Lao Guan has long been dismissed as a scholar. Where can brother Tianlin's Jinshi be so prominent? Let Lao Guan go? Tch, he I can afford to lose that person, but I can't afford to lose that person!"

boom~~

There was a sound of a hard object falling outside the door. Guo Ye could think with his toes that it was probably Guan Jiujiu's grandson who was listening to the wall outside the door. He was so irritated by his own words that he fell to the ground.

It deserves it, this is the fate of eavesdropping on the bottom of the wall!

Ignoring Guan Jiujiu for the time being, Guo Ye simply gave Leng Tianlin a reassurance, and said firmly: "Brother Tianlin, how about it, as long as you agree to this little brother. Whether it succeeds or not, I will take care of it for you." If you settle the matter of Sun Mingyan of the Cao Gang, including the matter of the Longxi land boundary, my younger brother will settle it for you, so that you can achieve political achievements and be promoted as soon as possible, how about it?"

"This……"

Leng Tianlin fell into hesitation again, Guo Ye's reassurance was really attractive, and he also believed that with Guo Ye's status in Longxi, he would definitely be able to fulfill his wish.

After hesitating for a while,

Leng Tianlin clenched his fists suddenly, nodded heavily and said: "Success, I promise Mr. Guo, just give it a try!"

"Haha, that's very good. I would like to thank brother Tianlin for his kindness and virtue. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than destroy a marriage. Brother Tianlin, you are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. In the future, you will be blessed." Report, there must be good news!"

Guo Ye praised Leng Tianlin without hesitation, picking up whatever was nice to say.

Leng Tianlin returned to his reserved look just now, nodded slightly in greeting, and said: "Well, Leng will go to Yizhou Kang Mansion tomorrow to do a job as a mediator for Master Guo for the time being. It's too late, so I'll take my leave first!"

Guo Ye beckoned repeatedly, followed him to the door, and said, "Brother Tianlin, let's go!"

squeak~~

Leng Tianlin pushed open the door and was about to step over the threshold when he suddenly turned around and asked:

"Master Guo, not long after your father passed away, you started to think about taking a concubine, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Besides, Ding You, an official of the imperial court, has kept his filial piety for three years, and he is not allowed to arrange red and happy events. Does Mr. Guo not understand? This is a matter of dishonoring reputation and corrupting morality."

"As far as I know, Mr. Guo is not an unfilial person. Could it be that there are other secrets or difficulties in it?"

Leng Tianlin suddenly asked questions repeatedly, Guo Ye's face suddenly became dull, and he wanted to open his mouth to explain, but thinking about it, his friendship with Leng Tianlin hadn't reached the stage of confessing his heart.

Then he shook his head lightly, and said with prevarication: "Brother Tianlin, hey, I can't explain it in one word. If I have a chance some other day, I will explain it to you again. This unfilial infamy, just bear it."

Leng Tianlin was also a smart person. Seeing Guo Ye's reluctance to speak out, he felt somewhat suspicious, but he still knew how to behave and didn't continue to question him.

After Wei Wei nodded and said goodbye, she strode out of the study room, Guo Ye called a servant at the door, and led Leng Tianlin towards the gate of Guo Mansion.

As soon as Leng Tianlin left, he also walked out of the study, seeing no one around the study, even Guan Jiujiu, who fell to the ground just now, disappeared without a trace.

Probably because he was afraid that he would criticize him for eavesdropping, so he hid quietly.

"Hehe, this cunning bastard!"

After Guo Ye cursed with a smile, looking at the sky, it was indeed late enough, and then he walked towards the bedroom where he and Wu Xiuxiu slept together.

Walking through the hall and around the corridor, he came to the door of the bedroom in a short while, and saw the maid Chunxiang squatting at the door and dozing off.

As soon as she heard Guo Ye's footsteps, Chunxiang pricked up her ears and woke up suddenly.

Seeing that Guo Ye was about to push the door open, Chunxiang suddenly opened her arms, blocked Guo Ye's way, and said:

"Your Majesty, my lady has ordered that you are not allowed to step into her room without her permission from now on!"

hold head high?

Guo Ye suddenly thought of the first night of his marriage with Wu Xiuxiu, and it seemed that the treatment at that time was also the same as now.

But this is my own home, isn't it her Wu Mansion, okay?

Moreover, during this period of time, I have been singing with her husband and wife, are they very harmonious?Why come on again?

Immediately, he blurted out and asked, "Why? Your lady wants to mess with you again?"
