The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

In the early morning of freshman year, Guo Nuan just woke up when she heard the maids yelling outside the window, then she got up, dressed up and walked out the door.

Moving to the atrium, there is a ceremonial formation formed by a group of guards and eunuchs, and everyone is standing quietly in place.

"Eunuch, I don't know what's going on."

Guo Nuan stepped up from a distance, bowed his hands to his father-in-law, and then glanced at the roll of yellow silk and satin imperial edict in the hand of the eunuch who announced the edict. Yue, the cheap father-in-law is going to send his son-in-law to a new job. Thinking that his leisurely days are coming to an end, Guo Nuan can't help but mutter in his heart for a while.

"Guo Concubine, please kneel down to receive the decree..." the father-in-law smiled and said a few polite words, then started to deal with business, opened the imperial decree and read aloud in a duck voice:

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered..."

The imperial decree read a long paragraph in a hurry, and it was nothing more than turning up Guo Nuan's crimes of dereliction of duty when he served as Jing Zhaoyin a few months ago. He didn't protect the Tubo mission properly, so that the Tubo prince was assassinated. , As a result, the relationship between Tubo and Tubo turned evil.

The imperial decree also said that Daizong's father-in-law had shown great kindness and virtue to Guo's son-in-law, and after thinking of all the hard work and achievements Guo Nuan had made during his one-year tenure in Jingzhao Mansion, and after pleading with all officials, he decided to let him The crime of meritorious deeds. ． ． ．

"Cough cough (eunuch), I think of Guo Aiqing's meritorious deeds in killing the traitor Yu Chao'en, and during his tenure in Jingzhao Mansion, the Gyeonggi area meticulously supervised the administration of officials, tried their best to alleviate the suffering of the people, and implemented many good governance. The merits have been witnessed by all , the people of the people all praised me, after careful consideration, I specially bestowed upon you the love of Qing, who will be punished for his meritorious deeds, lead Lingnan Dao Leizhou Mansion Shepherd, the official worship from the fifth grade, and immediately go to the post within three days, no family members are allowed, and no Delay, please!"

"What? Lingnan? Leizhou!"

Guo Nuan was originally listening happily to the eunuch reading the imperial decree. At the beginning of the imperial decree, Daizong's tone showed signs of slowing down and festiveness. Guo Nuan thought it would be better for his father-in-law. It is estimated that this is either reinstatement or promotion It's official, but the more I listen to it, the taste of Guo Nuanpin changes, especially the last two sentences, this is really not a good job, bad luck.

"This father-in-law is too... Don't think about your son-in-law. Think about your pregnant daughter. Transferring brother Yi to Lingnan, where the birds don't shit, that barbaric mountainous area, isn't it the exile of the demoted officials in ancient times? It’s definitely a disguised form of demotion and punishment, dammit..."

Guo Nuan was completely speechless in her heart, feeling as if she wanted to cry but had no tears. When she received the heavy imperial decree from the eunuch, her face was full of despair and mourning. She looked like a bird, not to mention how painful it was.

"Master Guo, oh no, now our family should honor you as Lord Mushou of Leizhou, so let's do it for ourselves, and try our best to make some achievements in Lingnan. Our family believes that within a few years, the Holy One will transfer you from Lingnan to the capital. Yes." The eunuch Xuanzhi was full of sympathy, and patted Guo Nuan on the shoulder, kindly comforting him who was extremely depressed.

About Lingnan Leizhou, Guo Nuan is very familiar with it. In his previous life, Guo Nuan studied at a university in the south and went to Hainan three times. Every time he took the train, he had to pass through the Leizhou Peninsula. After landing on the peninsula, he changed to a ferry to Hainan Island. Leizhou is on the mainland. The southernmost point is the coastal area at the southwestern end of Guangdong, which is separated from Hainan by the Qiongzhou Strait.

It has a subtropical monsoon climate. Although Guo Nuan visited there in his previous life, he experienced beautiful and prosperous cities along the coast, hot sunshine, golden sandy beaches, tall coconut trees, and blue oceans. ． ．

But now he is in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. Although Leizhou is rich in products, the environment is also harsh. There must be many places that have not been developed. The prime minister Kou Zhun and the great poet Su Shi and Su Zhe of the Song Dynasty were all relegated there.

Although she was reluctant to part with Shengping who was pregnant at home, Guo Nuan quickly adjusted her mentality now that the imperial decree had been issued. Within a year, he made great achievements in governing Leizhou, and then he was quickly promoted back to the court. It is estimated that Shengping had just given birth to his baby at that time, and he didn't want his father not to be around when the child was born.

However, after Shengping knew that Guo Nuan was going to be transferred to the south, she was very considerate, but she was just a little upset when her father explicitly asked Guo Nuan not to bring his family with him in the imperial decree.

It is estimated that her father, Daizong, had already considered it. If Guo Nuan was transferred, Shengping would most likely move south with his son-in-law, and his daughter would carry a small ball in her stomach. Don't worry, he simply stated in the imperial decree that Guo Nuan is not allowed to bring his family.

"Guo Lang, I am going to work in Leizhou with my party. The journey is thousands of miles away. My husband should take care of himself. He must do his best when he is handling official duties and seeking the well-being and peace of the local people. To be an official, you need to take care of your family. First of all, for the safety of the country and the people, let go of your wife and family, Shengping will take care of the household chores and take care of yourself and your children. In the future, Guo Lang will move far away to serve as an official in a foreign land, so don't worry too much about it..." With Shengping After understanding the general words, Guo Nuan felt a lot less guilty, and lamented in her heart that she married a good wife.

The next day, Guo Nuan made preparations for his appointment. Regarding the luggage supplies, Shengping asked his servants to buy dozens of boxes. Hearing that Lingnan has hot summers and mild winters, he bought a batch of summer clothes and spices to repel mosquitoes. Cooking utensils for daily eating, books, paper and pens, etc.

Guo Nuan is very short of time now, he is busy looking for someone.Working in Lingnan, the journey is far away, and Guo Nuan will inevitably fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness if he goes to a different place and is unfamiliar with life, so he has to quickly build a new team before leaving.

Since Fatty Zhang was brought back to Chang'an, Guo Nuan had just placed him in the Jingzhao Mansion. This guy followed Luo Yuan's experience as a catcher, and Guo Nuan thought about entrusting Fatty with important tasks another day.It is said that the fat man has lived in the remote mountains for many years, he is not used to the prosperous city life in Chang'an, and often clamors to return to Lintong Mountain to become a hunter.

This time Guo Nuan simply ran back to Jingzhao Mansion, chatted with Wu Qi for a few words, and then reached out to ask for someone.Fifth Qi is also very forthright, Guo Nuan left behind a smart and capable team in Jingzhao Mansion, and now Yan Ruoshui and Luo Yuan have become his right-hand men, Fifth Qi is very smooth in handling official affairs, and everything has not been said , gave Fatty Zhang to Guo Nuan as an aide.

When Guo Nuan went to Jingzhao Mansion, Luo Yuan happened to be on duty in the government office. When he heard that Guo Nuan was just taking Fatty Zhang away, he immediately yelled that he would go to Lingnan with Guo Nuan, but Guo Nuan, who was very moved, persuaded him It took a long time to send them away.

Guo Nuan actually wanted to take Luo Yuan away, but thinking that Luo Yuan still had a wife and children in the pass, and he was just demoted to Lingnan for training, so he rejected Luo Yuan's request and only took away unaccompanied people. Fatty Zhang.

As for Ah Fu, as Guo Nuan's school boy for almost ten years, the two are almost inseparable, so before Guo Nuan asked for advice, Ah Fu patted his chest and said flatly: "Wherever the young master goes, Ah Fu will follow." , even if killed, you will stick to it."

Guo Nuan hurriedly ran to an old house in Deqingfang Lane. What he saw in front of him was an ordinary courtyard house, but the people living in it were not simple.

Before entering the door, Guo Nuan felt a little nervous, because he was not sure whether the owner of the house would agree to his request, but after thinking twice, he still walked inside.

There is a pagoda tree in the yard. Under the lush tree, a middle-aged elegant man is lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed. On his face, it was itchy, so he took it off.

Guo Nuan watched the middle-aged man leisurely resting at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't help but find the act of picking leaves very interesting.

"Guo Nuan Xiaosheng asks to see Mr. Yan." Guo Nuan then bent down and clasped hands to the person on the recliner.

"Well, it turns out that Mr. Guo is here. It's a pleasure to meet you." The middle-aged man was Yan Zhuang. Hearing Guo Nuan's voice behind him, he opened his eyes and couldn't help smiling.

Yan Zhuang, An Lushan was the first military division of the shogunate when he was the Jiedushi, and he was also the prime minister after An Lushan established the puppet Yan Dynasty.It is said that Guo Nuan and Yan Zhuang met each other when they were watching a theater in a brothel, and they became acquainted with Kang Wan's assassination.

"Hehe, I'm still a grown-up now. My brother is just a commoner now. It's a pleasure to be at home now." Yan Zhuang laughed and motioned Guo Nuan to sit down on the stone bench in the yard. There is a pot of good Longjing on the house.

Regarding Yan Zhuang's dismissal of Secretary of Agriculture two months ago, it was related to Guo Nuan's dismissal.After the Tubo prince was killed, Guo Nuan was implicated. Yan Zhuang first went to the emperor to intercede for Guo Nuan. When Emperor Daizong was in a rage, Yuan Zai had always been at odds with Yan Zhuang, so this villain took the opportunity to whisper in Daizong's ear For a moment, say Yan Zhuang's meddling and some bad things about Yan Zhuang.

Yan Zhuang was considered a special category in the imperial court. As the military adviser of An Lushan, the culprit of the Anshi Rebellion, after An Jiedu defeated the rebels, although he joined the imperial court, the imperial court also let the past go and handed over the blame to a third-rank high-level lawsuit, Nongqing. As a rebel general who participated in the rebellion, he has never been treated favorably by his fellow officials in the court. Even though Yan Zhuang has the talents of governing the country and managing the world, the emperor doesn't use him very much.

Being independent and a loner with no party affiliation, it is conceivable that Yan Zhuang is very unhappy in the officialdom in the capital.At that time, something happened to Guo Nuan, and Yan Zhuang went to plead for mercy, and then someone secretly used tricks to slander the emperor, so Yan Zhuang was logically dismissed and went home.

"Duke Yan, Guo Nuan has always admired your talents and virtues, but you have nothing to do with the knowledge and ability to serve the country, which is a pity." Said earnestly in a solemn tone.

"Guo Concubine thinks highly of Yan, and is ashamed. He participated in An Shuai's rebellion, and now he is white, away from the intrigue in the officialdom, and able to preserve his body and steal his life. This is also a big deal for Yan Zhuang." It’s a good deed, how can there be any ambition to serve the country.”

Yan Zhuang shook his head lightly, sighed leisurely, and couldn't help laughing at himself. It seemed that he was a little disheartened after being squeezed out by his colleagues in the court for a long time.

"Mr. Yan, I am not talented. Guo Nuan will go to Leizhou, Lingnan to serve as a shepherd in two days. Today, I specially invite you to come out of the mountain to make benefits for the people, save the hard-working people from suffering, and let them enjoy the prosperity of the world. When the country is throwing its head and blood, and doing its best, I hope you can help the boy, and for the well-being of the people in Leizhou, Guo is willing to kneel down and pay respects to Lord Yan!"

Guo Nuan went all out, stood up, gritted her teeth and finished speaking, just about to kneel down to salute, when she felt a light support on her elbow.

Looking up, Yan Zhuang said with a cheerful smile:

"I can't afford such a big gift from Consort Guo. Since Concubine Guo earnestly asks, it would be a crime to refuse it. I am honored to see it. Even if I abandon my old bones and lose them in a barren land, as long as I can benefit the people, then Yan What's the matter..."
