The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Guo Nuan, as the son of a Minister of State, relied on his father's official position to enroll as a student in the second prison at the age of 12. It stands to reason that Guo Nuan and Park Shangxuan are also counted as alumni.

When Guo Nuan was studying Confucian classics and history at Guozijian, there were wars, and the school site of Guozijian was moved several times. Thousands of students in Taixue also moved around, suffering from displacement, and naturally their studies were greatly affected.

Guo Nuan stayed at the Imperial College until he was 16 years old, and then went on a study tour after graduation. He could have exchanged his status as a student of the Imperial College for a court servant position in the palace. Because of his habit, he didn't want to live a guard life with a clear hierarchy in the court, so he always stayed at home or went out to study.

The friendship between buddies was found at the intertwining of wine cups. Although Guo Nuan had just known Pu Shangxuan for half a day, this did not hinder the friendship between the two people who quickly warmed up at first sight. After drinking and eating, they walked out together very familiarly out of the tavern.

In the water village and mountain country, the small river under the embankment next to it is gurgling, and the willow leaves are dancing with the wind.As soon as Pu Shangxuan walked out of the tavern, he leaned over and vomited while supporting the pillar of my wine flag at the door, his face was a little blue, leaving a vomit all over the place.

Guo Nuan's complexion was slightly flushed, and he stood straight at the side, with clear eyes and no drunkenness. He smiled while patting the back of Park Shangxuan who was bent over and vomiting.

"Brother Pu, you just said that Linglan famous wine is strong and strong, but you don't believe it, you must have drunk too much."

Guo Nuan saw that Pu Shangxuan drank too much, and saw that he was in a daze and couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, so he and Ah Fu supported him into the carriage, and went to the guest house of Honglu Temple, and sent Pu Shangxuan back to his residence.

"This guy is really heavy. Fortunately, I just learned that he lives in the guest house of Honglu Temple that receives foreign envoys."

Guo Nuan pushed and pushed Pu Shangxuan, who was sleeping in a daze, in the carriage, and saw that he was very drunk and whispered a few words in his sleep from time to time, but Guo Nuan didn't understand his nonsense at all.

Under Guo Nuan's urging, Ah Fu drove a horse-drawn carriage and familiarized himself with the road, and soon entered the imperial city, walked around a few alleys, and stopped at the entrance of a tall and majestic mansion. Foreigners came in and out at will. The guard at the gate was lax, with only a few guards on duty.

The mansion in front of me does not look like an official residence for foreign envoys and students, but more like a super-large international hotel.

"Hey, brother Pu, why did you bring two new friends here, and they were still drunk."

Guo Nuan and Ah Fu helped the drunken Pu Shangxuan into the inn, and asked a few handymen who worked in Honglu. It took a long time before they found the inn building where the Silla people lived in the temple surrounded by buildings. Entering the yard, he saw a middle-aged macho vigorously playing with stone locks in the yard.

"Are you his acquaintance, please help, Park Shangxuan is drunk, take him into the residence."

Guo Nuan saw that the big man who spoke first knew Pu Shangxuan, so she waved to him from a distance and asked him to come over and help.

The man with big shoulders and round waist was not wordy, he took Pu Shangxuan from Guo Nuan and Ah Fu's support, like a sack, he easily carried Pu Shangxuan into a wing room.

Seeing that Pu Shangxuan didn't have a maidservant in the courtyard, Guo Nuan ordered Ah Fu to go into the house to fetch hot water for Pu Shangxuan to wash, and to replace the clothes that were soiled by vomiting.

With nothing else to do, Guo Nuan made it easy for the man named Luo Yuan to gossip. The two sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, put a small charcoal stove on the stone table, and made tea.

Guo Nuan also drank a lot of rice wine with Pu Shangxuan in the tavern. Although he himself had a large drinking capacity, he was still four to five points drunk. He sat down in the courtyard, drank clear tea with Luo Yuan, and took a drink with the sweet tea.

Luo Yuan in front of him entered the Royal Guards of Daming Palace a few years ago, and was later transferred to Park Sang-hyun's uncle, Park Hao, as the bodyguard of the Silla ambassador. He was usually responsible for the security of the Silla envoy Park Hao stationed in Chang'an.

On this day, Pu Hao happened to be in the palace to handle errands, so he had his bathing period off.Luo Yuan wandered around the city of Chang'an. He was really bored, so he fiddled with stone locks in the yard to exercise his arm strength. He happened to be seen playing with stone locks by Guo Nuan and the other three.

"By the way, where's your ambassador?" Guo Nuan asked casually.

Guo Nuan and Luo Yuan quickly sat down and chatted all over the world. Luo Yuan, on the spur of the moment, whispered to Guo Nuan mysteriously:

"Ambassador Park Hao has been very busy recently, and he looks gloomy all day. It is said that ten days ago, Silla was attacked by the Japanese kingdom. Emperor Yamato, who lives in Heijo capital, Japan, assembled [-] sailors and dispatched more than [-] A large warship landed aggressively on the beach in eastern North Korea, and the capital, Pyongyang, was besieged for more than [-] days and was almost captured."

Guo Nuan became very curious when he heard that, he couldn't help leaning forward towards Luo Yuan, and asked cautiously: "There is a war breaking out in Silla, why haven't the people heard about it?"

Luo Yuan waved his hand: "This is the latest news, even his closest nephew, Park Shangxuan, didn't know about it. I also heard it from the ambassador in private when he entered the palace with the ambassador the day before yesterday. Ambassador Park rarely has such a serious expression on his face. It seems This time there is indeed a war crisis. The ambassador went to the palace to meet the emperor early today, and it is likely to discuss with our Tang Dynasty about transporting rescue troops."

Luo Yuan also realized that a small bodyguard like himself should not talk too much about the secret government affairs of the imperial court, so he quickly changed the topic to other places.

Guo Nuan didn't care either. After all, inquiring about political affairs is not allowed, and even a false official consort like him can't handle it.

Luo Yuan seemed to be acquainted, and he became acquainted with Guo Nuan after a while. The two of them sat in the yard for two hours, watching the sunset, but Guo Nuan looked at Park Shangxuan. direction, Ah Fu is still taking care of the drunk young man in the room, it seems that Park Shangxuan will not wake up for a while.

Guo Nuan was not in a hurry to go back to the Princess Mansion. Anyway, there was no one in the mansion to welcome their master and servant, so he simply used Luo Yuan's words to eat dinner, a few dishes of cold dishes, and a plate of shredded pork. Eating and chatting on the stone table in the courtyard.

"Ambassador Park, you are back."

Just when Guo Nuan was talking about dirty jokes, Luo Yuan also had a smile on his face. Suddenly, Luo Yuan's face changed into a serious expression, and he quickly got up from the stone bench, and walked towards the majestic man in a purple round-neck robe who walked into the yard. The old man kowtowed.

Guo Nuan also put away her playful temper, and bowed to the old man with a face of respect: "Meet Mr. Park."

Pu Hao looked Guo Nuan up and down, slightly puzzled: "Who are you?"

"Xiaosheng Guo Nuan is a new friend of your nephew Pu Shangxuan. When he was drunk, Xiaosheng and his family sent him back to the guest house of Honglu Temple."

"This young man looks familiar. His surname is Guo. Who are you from General Guo Ziyi?" Park Hao walked up to Guo Nuan and asked.

"It's my father."

Pu Hao patted his forehead, and said with a faint smile: "I'm getting old, and I'm getting old and confused. Isn't this the sixth young master of the Guo family, the son-in-law of Shengping, and Mr. Guo Nuan?

"Young people are imposing, with a bright future." Pu Hao stepped forward like a kind elder, and gently patted Guo Nuan on the shoulder.

Guo Nuan immediately smiled when he heard the words, just now Pu Hao mentioned Shengping's son-in-law, which made him a little embarrassed, but he could hear the sincerity of Pu Hao's tone, but he didn't intend to expose his scars.

The two exchanged a few words, and then Pu Hao led Guo Nuan into the living room.

The hall is simple and elegant, and the walls are covered with poems and ink paintings. It can be seen that Park Hao, a Silla native, is very keen on the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Except for his pancake face, he looks like a foreigner, and his speech and behavior are no different from those of a scholar of the Tang Dynasty. .

The two sat down, and Park Hao was just chatting about the situation of Guo Nuan's father, Guo Ziyi, in the frontier.He sighed very much, and when he mentioned Guo Ziyi in his words, he was very respectful. Guo Nuan could see that Pu Hao and Guo Ziyi were very close, and he also cared for his six sons of the Guo family.

"Nephew Guo Xian, the old man has an unfeeling request." After pondering for a moment, Pu Hao suddenly looked a little heavy, stopped drinking tea, put down the ceramic cup holder in his hand, and slowly spoke to Guo Nuan.

"Uncle, please tell me." Guo Nuan realized that Pu Hao had something important to ask, and couldn't help but become serious.

"King Goryeo in the southern part of the Datong River and I Silla are trying to unify the Korean peninsula. The two clan regimes have been fighting and crushing, but the two countries are similar in power. For decades, they have been unable to conquer each other. In the past two years, the two countries have been in war. It's costly."

Pu Hao slowed down, and continued: "The Wa Kingdom in the East China Sea took advantage of the exhaustion of the national power after the war between Silla and Goryeo, and took the opportunity to send troops to invade the peninsula. Now that Silla is in crisis, the old man has already obtained a promise from the Tang Dynasty to rescue the troops. Emperor Daizong promised tonight In the middle of the night, taking advantage of the darkness, [-] Tang soldiers were dispatched from Chang'an to march out of camp, and immediately sent to Silla to rescue Silla."

"What does uncle mean?" Guo Nuan seemed to have guessed something.

"This old man and his nephew Pu Shangxuan are originally descendants of the Pu family of the Silla royal family. Now that the motherland is in crisis, our generation is loyal to the emperor and serving the country. It is really urgent. We want to go to Silla with the Tang Dynasty's rescuers."

"Since the Tang Dynasty, the suzerain country, has agreed to send troops, I believe that the Japanese army will not last long. It only takes half a year for the Silla crisis to be resolved."

"The old man is about to return to China. When Silla's safety is lifted, he will return to Chang'an next year. I just worry about my nephew Pu Shangxuan, thinking that he has nothing to rely on in Chang'an except my uncle. His parents died in the war when he was young. , Shang Xuan’s nature is mellow and flawless. I’m worried that after I leave, he won’t be able to take care of me. It’s really pitiful. Now time is running out, and it’s too late to arrange for Shang Xuan’s care. Before I leave, I have a heartfelt request that I want to entrust to Guo It is imperative that the young master takes care of him."

After Pu Hao finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Guo Nuan.

"The younger generation can't afford such a great gift from uncle. Brother Pu Xian and I hit it off right away and became close friends. The trivial matters are nothing to worry about. The younger generation will definitely take good care of him."

Guo Nuan looked at the old man with gray temples and teary eyes in front of him, and realized that the situation in Silla was critical, and his nephew would soon be left unattended. The country was in peril, and at the same time, he had to think about his family. Guo Nuan was very sympathetic, and agreed without hesitation.

"I am very grateful." Pu Hao kowtowed again.
