Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

It means that this great monk is highly valued by His Majesty Li Er.

Before going to the West to learn the scriptures, he still wanted to speak well for himself in front of the emperor. The great monk is really not bad. Although he hasn't given him a single letter in the past three years, he still has some conscience.

All of a sudden, Guo Ye suddenly missed that silly and cute Tang Xuanzang, wondering if the stupid monk's journey was smooth and whether he arrived in Tianzhu safely...

"Guo Ye!"

"Guo Ye??"

Seeing that Guo Ye was stupefied for no reason, His Majesty Li Er urged him again: "Guo Aiqing, wake up, what's wrong? Are you wandering again?"

"what?"

Guo Ye was awakened by His Majesty Li Er, and apologized with shame on his face: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I don't know what happened today, maybe I was lucky enough to be able to see His Majesty's sky, I was too excited and a little distracted, right?"

"Ha ha……"

Although Guo Ye's explanation was suspected of being flattering, it was still very pleasing to His Majesty Li Er's ears.

After laughing a few times, he said: "Okay, let's get down to business. Your calligraphy class has made great contributions this time. Not only has it raised the country's prestige for my Tang Dynasty, but it has also won the Tubo people's territory of eight hundred miles for my Tang Dynasty. I am sure It must be rewarded. Especially you, Guo Ye, I want to reward you very much! In this way, I have two rewards, and today I will let you make a choice and a choice. You can't be too greedy, you can only choose one of the two?"

Guo Ye stopped talking and listened to His Majesty Li Er with bated breath.

His Majesty Li Er raised a finger and said: "First, I know that you are now a cavalry captain of Wu Xunxiao. I decided to take your cavalry captain Wu Xunxiao, give you a title, and make you a man of Longxi County. Enjoy five hundred households in Longxi County. How about it?"

A man from Longxi County who enjoys food from [-] households in Longxi County?

Guo Ye knew a little bit about the titles of the Tang Dynasty. The titles were divided into five ranks. The baron was the fifth rank and the lowest rank among the titles.

However, anyone who conferred the title of baron has almost entered the sequence of Tang nobles, because the title of title is different from the title of honor.Civil and military honors generally end with the person concerned, but the title can be passed on to future generations, some hereditary, and some passed down to three generations.

Moreover, families with titles are exempt from labor, military service, tax collection and other things.

Guo Ye, the baron of Longxi County, can at least grow into the second generation. If their second generation is more successful and makes some small contributions to the court, they may be able to retain the baronship and pass it on for another life.

If titles and honors were two different things, most people would think of those with titles as nouveau riche; but titles, which can germinate future generations, are definitely a must-have for stepping into the aristocratic circle of the Tang Dynasty. admission ticket.

He knew that even Liang Ershao's father, Liang Wanwan, the richest man in Chang'an, who had offered royal tribute and wine to the imperial court for so many years, and donated silver to the imperial court every year for disaster relief, finally got a viscount, only higher than the baron Then first order.

But now, His Majesty Li Er was so open-minded that he directly gave Guo Ye a ticket to enter the aristocratic family of the Tang Dynasty, and granted him the title of male of Longxi County.

With the protection of the halo of the man from Longxi County, who would dare to say that the Guo family in the future will be a family of tenants, a family of poor families, and an upstart family?

It's easier to understand if you enjoy five hundred households.That is to list the [-] households in Longxi County under the name of the Guo family. Although they are not domestic slaves, these [-] households have to pay taxes to the imperial court every year, and all of them will be handed over to the Guo family in the future. reward.

There is a steady stream of water flowing, what is the annual tax of five hundred households?

For a moment, Guo Ye was moved!

Then, His Majesty Li Er ignored Guo Ye's daze and dazed, and continued to say: "Secondly, now that the Tubo people have lost the game, they have given all the land [-] miles west of Xichuan to my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I decided to give the small capital of Xichuan The expansion of the protection not only included Tuva City and Ngari Tucheng, but also built several cities on the [-]-mile land to relocate Han people. Therefore, Xichuan Xiaodu Hufu was officially renamed Xichuan Dadu Hufu, and it was in charge of the Duhu The military governor of the government, Xichuan Dahu, has a high position and authority, and his rank is from the fourth rank, so I will naturally have to re-appoint him."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused for a while, looked at Guo Ye's expression changes with a unique look, and continued: "The candidate for the Xichuan Metropolitan Guard is naturally Guo Ye, you are the most suitable person. You are in charge of one side and occupy one place. , there are countless tigers under his command, and he will defend the frontier for me to guard against the wolfish ambitions of the Tubo people."

Li Shimin sized him up for a while, and after he had finished speaking, he saw that Guo Ye still had that ecstatic expression on his face, and he really hadn't changed at all.

In the end, he asked directly: "I let you choose for yourself, either you will be named the male of Longxi County, or you will be appointed to be in charge of the Protectorate of Xichuan Dadu. You can choose one of the two, and Guo Qing will choose on your own."

Although Guo Ye's face hasn't changed much, his heart is like a tossing river and sea, which can't be calmed down for a long time.

Whether it's the man from Longxi County or the governor of Xichuan, this fucking is definitely a tempting reward.

Guo Ye really wanted to raise his neck and ask His Majesty Li Er, can he have both?

It's a pity, the emperor's words are so clear, choose one of the two, you can't have both!

Grandma's, it's really hard to choose.

For a moment, Guo Ye hesitated, unable to make a choice.

"Guo Qing, how are you? Could it be that you are not satisfied with my reward?"

Seeing that Guo Ye could only reply after a long time, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help urging him.

Guo Ye hurriedly put away his expression, shook his head repeatedly and denied: "No, no, no, your majesty, don't misunderstand, I'm afraid, your majesty's blockade is too, too, too big~"

His Majesty Li Er suddenly put away the kind smile just now, and forced to ask: "Then why didn't Guo Qing give me an answer for so long?"

"what?"

Guo Ye was suddenly frightened by His Majesty Li Er's tone, mother, how can you change it?It really is the impermanence of the emperor, if you say you change your face, you will change your face!

Guo Ye subconsciously glanced at Ma Yuanju, and found that this guy kept giving him winks, but Guo Ye didn't understand what he meant.

Boom~boom boom~

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside Wangbei Pavilion, and with a bang, an eunuch rushed in through the door, startling Guo Ye.

His Majesty Li Er's face suddenly darkened, just as he was about to reprimand, he heard another plop!

This reckless eunuch suddenly knelt down on his knees, and cried out in mourning: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just now someone from outside the palace reported that Lord Du Ruhui, Lord Lai, was ill and passed away!"

"what?"

Just when Guo Ye and Ma Yuanju were shocked when they heard the words, His Majesty Li Er suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and looked at the kneeling eunuch with an incredulous expression, huh~

His face was instantly pale and bloodless!

His Majesty Li Er's body was a little shaky, and he put his hands on the desk with all his strength, raised his head to the sky, and tears came out of his eyes, his voice choked up and cried out sadly:

"Fang's plan is broken, I, I lost an arm in pain?"

"Ruhui, Ruhui, you are trying to gouge out my heart!!!!"

In an instant,

In the entire Wangbei Pavilion, there is a sad and lonely atmosphere...

Guo Ye is used to the history books of later generations. Tang Taizong Li Shimin is portrayed as a generation of arrogant Khan, the emperor of the world, how wise and great he is.

but,

Today, he saw Li Shimin crying, crying with flesh and blood!

Chapter 483 The bad news of the Du mansion, Guo Ye was in shock

Can cry and laugh with true temperament, His Majesty Li Er is a good man!

His Majesty Li Er wiped away his tears, choked with sobs and roared outside Wangbei Pavilion, saying: "Show me, I want to go to Du's mansion in person and see Du Qing for the last time!"
