Chapter 204 The Tang Dynasty is in trouble, everyone is responsible
"Do you think the emperor will finally reconcile with Yibo Tower for the sake of this state? Fulfill his previous promise and then give additional rewards to Yibo Tower?"
At this time, another warrior said.
In his opinion, this is the only way to save the current situation.
"Repair it with Yibo Lou? Will Yibo Lou agree easily? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he agreed?"
However, these words were directly denied by other warriors as soon as they were spoken.
Not to mention whether the emperor will lose face, Yibo Lou also has dignity and backbone.
"What should we do?"
"Who knows! Just wait for the news. The time limit given by Tubo is ten days, and there will always be results after ten days."
"well!"
for a time,
The news of Tubo's request for a second great competition was completely spread. The first reaction of almost everyone after hearing it was that retribution had come too quickly. The second reaction was how the emperor would deal with this situation this time.
Even some officials in the DPRK are no exception.
After all, it would be a pity for everyone to turn a good situation into what it is now.
As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, no one wanted to watch a county being occupied by Tibet.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the next day,
In the early morning, in the Jinluan Hall, Li Longji was sitting on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. All the ministers knew very well that the first thing the emperor discussed today must be related to the Grand Competition.
As expected,
After the officials had finished their ceremony, Li Longji went straight to the topic and asked how to deal with the matter.
It's a pity that among all the ministers, no one stood up and spoke.
What should they say about this kind of thing?
It was Datang who made mistakes that allowed Tubo to seize the opportunity.
"Yang Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?" For a long time, Li Longji could only look at Yang Guozhong, the leader of the hundred officials.
"Your Majesty... I thought... I could send a message to Dongdu Biejia Xue Song and order him to resolve this matter!"
When asked, Yang Guozhong paused and then spoke.
In fact, he didn't have any good ideas, but after hearing the inquiry, the emperor had to say something, so he came up with an idea at the last minute.
"Huh? Send a message to Xue Song?" Li Longji touched his beard.
"Your Majesty, when the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, everyone is responsible! What's more, Xue Song is an official of the Tang Dynasty and should share your worries for Your Majesty."
At this time, Yang Guozhong said again.
At this juncture, it is always right to follow the emperor's wishes.
There is no way, now we can't beat Tubo again and again, we can only find a way from the big competition.
It is true that the previous competition relied on Yi Bo Lou, and it is also true that Yi Bo Lou was not awarded a reward in the end. But this time, it is completely possible to use another way of saying it and let Yi Bo Lou take action, such as this Xue Song.
Although Xue Song is not the real master of Yibo Tower, as long as the imperial edict is passed down, Yibo Tower cannot just watch Xue Song die in vain, and he will definitely take action to reveal the truth.
"When the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, everyone is responsible? Okay! Okay! What the Qing family said is very popular with me! In this case, I will send a message to Dongdu Biejia Xue Song, ordering him to go to Longxi County to deal with the matter with all his strength from now on, and not to slack off! If
Anyone who slacks off will not be spared!"
Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Longji's brows became more and more relaxed after listening to Yang Guozhong's words.
Whatever Yang Guozhong could think of, he could naturally do it too.
In this way, it is equivalent to directly asking Yibo Lou to take action without saying anything, and it also avoids the royal family losing face and asking for Yibo Lou. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
On the high platform, Gao Lishi hurriedly bowed.
"The Qing family's advice has been meritorious and deserves a heavy reward! Come and give the left prime minister a thousand taels of gold!"
At this moment, Li Longji said again.
If Yang Guozhong hadn't come up with this idea, he really wouldn't know what to do!
Now, everything has been solved, and the reward of a thousand taels of gold is natural.
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
.......
Time flies and it’s noon in a blink of an eye.
The same restaurant, the same group of diners, many warriors were stunned for a long time after hearing the emperor's final decision.
"This...this...when the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, everyone is responsible...it's too shameless!"
"There must be rewards as well as responsibilities. Yi Bo Lou is not an army of the imperial court, nor is he a hawk or dog of the imperial court."
"No! Moreover, the emperor also ordered that Xue Song must handle this matter, otherwise he will be killed without mercy! In fact, this is forcing Yi Bolou to take action in disguise."
"I will kill you without mercy? So strong and majestic."
"Oh, there is something even sadder!"
"What's wrong?"
"Not only did the emperor not mention the previous reward, but in the end he rewarded left prime minister Yang Guozhong with a thousand taels of gold for his contribution to the plan! In other words... even if the thousand taels of gold were given to Yi Bo Lou, in the end he gave it to
A gossip.
What did Yang Guozhong do?
When I was in the west of Chang'an City, I was pointed in the nose and humiliated by the Tubo master, but I didn't see the leader of the Tianyin Sect come on stage to challenge him!
It’s good now…”
"well!"
Hearing this, all the warriors on the table shook their heads and sighed.
Sometimes we are so helpless, even a common person at the bottom knows that things cannot be done, but the higher-ups just do it, and do it in such a high-sounding way.
"It depends on how Yibo Tower reacts?"
"How to react? I have to obey the emperor's decree. After all, Xue Song is the fourth-rank official of Dongdu!"
"That...is really frustrating."
"That's right, anyway, if I were the owner of Yibo Tower, I would probably be scolding my mother by now."
...
As everyone knows, when the news spread and many people in the world wanted to see how Yibo Tower would react,
Ruyang,
In the lobby, Li Mo also received the news immediately.
In the lobby, Master Zeng, Wang Changling and others were all there.
"Let Xue Song handle this matter? If he doesn't handle it well, will he be executed without mercy?"
Li Mo's expression turned cold.
The emperor is really treating Yibolou as a fool this time, thinking that a gangster force still wants to obey the emperor's orders! Yibolou is not a bad person.
"My lord, how should we deal with this matter now? If Mr. Xue doesn't go... he is disobeying the decree! But if Mr. Xue goes, we can't ignore it!"
On the side, Wang Changling touched his beard and frowned.
In other words, when they heard that Tubo was coming back to fight back, their first reaction was that it had nothing to do with Yibolou or Ruyang.
This time, the emperor will do whatever he likes.
However, the emperor's approach was still somewhat underestimated.
"This matter is quite simple!"
Li Mo's lips curled up,
"It will take two days for the imperial edict to be transmitted to Dongdu. Therefore, Xue Song was asked to resign from his post in Dongdu first. On the surface, he retired to the countryside, but in fact he came to Ruyang to work!"
Now that we have the official position of Ruyang Jiedushi, it doesn't make much difference whether we have the official position in Dongdu or not.
On the contrary, after Xue Song came to Ruyang, the Ruyang army had one more powerful general.
"Resign first? My lord's plan is very clever, so... let's see how the emperor will deal with it?"
After hearing this, Wang Changling nodded repeatedly.
By resigning first, Xue Song can resume his role in the world, and at the same time, he can retire. Anyway, there is no chance of getting involved with Yi Bo Lou this time.
Handle your own affairs by yourself.
As for the matters involving Yibolou and Tubo, it will not be too late to settle things slowly by then.
