The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

In the afternoon when Guo Nuan woke up, there was another person who arrived unexpectedly.

When the sun was setting and the sky was dim, a handsome young man dressed in gorgeous gold silk cloth clothes quietly walked into the door with a smile.

At that time, there were only the two of them left in Guo Nuan's room. Just as he had just finished a bowl of bitter Chinese medicine, he still had some dregs in his mouth.

"Eh? You are?" Guo Nuan, who could not move at all on the bed, was taken aback for a moment, and looked curiously at the handsome young man in front of him.He felt that the person in front of him came with kindness.

"Shengping's elder brother, Yong Wang Li Shi, the current crown prince."

The young man smiled faintly: "Do you mind if I sit down?" He then asked again, but before Guo Nuan could reply, he sat down on the wooden chair in the corner of the wing naturally, looking elegant and calm.

"Oh, so it's my brother-in-law who came here." Guo Nuan looked at him and muttered in a low voice, but she didn't know why he came. Guo Nuan, who had a keen sense, felt that Li Shi, as the prince, was not only here to visit his illness. came.

The two of them were silent in the wing room, not knowing how to break the silence, even the air flow seemed to be sluggish, there was only an iron stove in the room, and the incense inside was wafting green. Smoke swirls on the beams.

"Well, I heard that when you committed suicide for the eighth time, you suffered a serious brain injury and lost your memory. It seems that this is the case, and even I don't recognize it. We used to work together as guards of the Imperial Army when we were teenagers, but We meet in Zixiao Inner Palace from time to time, but you quit your job after half a year in the imperial army. Except for the wedding banquet in Shengping, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Suddenly Li Shi sighed a little, opened his mouth lightly, and then started rambling to himself, but the straightforwardness of the words almost made Guo Nuan choke to death with the saliva in his mouth.

This was too much for him, so he accepted his ugliness with a single sentence, directly mentioned the eight times of seeking death, and bluntly didn't notice at all to save face for Guo Nuan.However, Guo Nuan also saw that Li Shi said this without malice, which was due to his straightforward style.

Guo Nuan coughed twice in embarrassment, and sighed secretly in his heart: "This Li Shi is only 23 or [-] years old, a few years older than me, but he speaks very calmly. He has an extraordinary bearing, and his demeanor reveals the aura of a leader all the time, as the crown prince of a country, this cheap brother-in-law is really different from ordinary people like us."

"This time, I came here on behalf of my father." While Guo Nuan was pondering, Li Shi, who was sitting in the corner, said again.

"Well, thank you, the emperor, for your care." Guo Nuan has been integrated into the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but she has learned some etiquette. Then she took her hands out of the bed and bowed her hands to the void with a serious expression, slightly expressing her gratitude to Daizong.

"Of course, this time, I also have the wish of the prince." After pondering for a while, another sentence came out from the corner.

Li Shi is very handsome, at least the narcissistic Guo Nuan thinks Li Shi is a little more handsome than himself.It's just that the vitality of young people is missing, and the sophistication of middle-aged people is more. This is the result of the strong political atmosphere in the court.

Guo Nuan lamented that the people cultivated by the royal family are really different. They talk like they want to hold back their farts. They have been brewing in their stomachs for a long time, but as the listener, he has no way to grasp the initiative of his words and cannot take the lead in breaking the silence. , The prince's aura is there, the big man is not willing to speak, and the little guy can't open his mouth to interact with him.

"Oh" Guo Nuan said that he listened very carefully, and responded with a oh.

"Yu Linghui was seriously injured in the crotch during the fight that day. Like his adoptive father, he lost his permanent fertility. This king also hates him."

"Um"

"According to the reliable news reported by the spies, Yu Chaoen dispatched six killers from Liaodong yesterday, planning to assassinate you in the near future."

"Uh, this is bad news, but thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me." Guo Nuan also guessed that the matter of Yu Linghui was not over, and there must be a conclusion, if his adoptive father Yu Chaoen didn't have any secrets This will make Guo Nuan feel strange.

"It seems that the relationship between the two eunuchs of Yu Chaoen's family has been completely settled. From now on, my young master's life will no longer be ordinary, and it will suddenly become colorful." Guo Nuan said. Twitching the corners of his mouth, he smiled, and then laughed at himself for a while, but there was no fear in his expression, and his face was indifferent.

"Your father, General Guo, was incompatible with Yu Chaoen more than ten years ago, and he just added another debt to your Guo family." Li Shi said lightly, with a look of flattery.

"My lord wants you to help me get rid of Yu Chaoen's influence." Li Shi immediately added, his voice very low, and his expression suddenly very serious.

Guo Nuan suddenly felt a burst of tension in the air. He couldn't help being stunned by Li Shi's unexpected request, and couldn't turn his head for a moment.

"Although I have a grudge with Yu Chaoen's family, and I think they are not pleasing to the eye, but I have no ability to fight them except for a consort who has no real power." Spread your hands, expressing helplessness.

Li Shi also expected that Guo Nuan would say this, so he was not in a hurry.Then he stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"Did you know that after the death of Emperor Suzong's grandfather, some generals and envoys in the outer court rebelled. Even though the other part of the envoys belonged to the court on the surface, they were at odds with the emperor. big trend.

In addition, in the palace, the eunuch forces hold the military power of more than [-] forbidden troops in the palace. They have always been arrogant and arrogant, and even the emperor ignored them. The chaos of grace, the national power has not yet recovered, the frontier Tubo, the Turks are eyeing, always ready to invade our Tang Dynasty, now is really a time of internal and external troubles. "

Li Shi stopped talking, and looked at Guo Nuan on the couch solemnly.At this time, Guo Nuan was also listening quietly, carefully chewing on the meaning of Li Shi's words.

"If you want to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, you must first conquer the inside and then secure the outside. The most urgent task now is to get rid of the power of the eunuchs in the palace. The only people who can rely on it are the courtiers. But the power of the courtiers is weak now, and they are far from being able to compete with them. .”

Regarding Li Shi's righteous words, Guo Nuan immediately became serious. He seemed to figure out the prince's intention in deep thought, and immediately raised his head to stare at Li Shi: "Do you want me to become an official?..."

"That's right, the imperial examination to become an official."

"I promised Shengping, and I will take the imperial examination next month. I was not sure, and I was seriously injured." Guo Nuan was helpless, thinking that he had some new ideas, but it turned out that he still couldn't do without the imperial examination.

Li Shi smiled lightly, walked closer to Guo Nuan's bed, leaned over and said, "You know, Lord Yan Zhenqing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he admires your literary talent and calligraphy very much. Next month's imperial examination, according to Your strength must be able to pass the Jinshi."

"Is he the chief examiner of this imperial examination?"

"That's right, it's so simple to talk to a smart person, it's easy to understand...
