Chapter 417: Guo Ziyi's Integrity
When Guo Ziyi saw Li Yan sitting beside him, he was crying. He knew that he definitely had a great responsibility for Pu Gu Huai'en, but Li Yan obviously had no intention of blaming him.
He had already heard about taking Guo Xi this time. In addition to Guo Xi's meaning of having some understanding of Pu Gu Huai'en, it was obvious that Li Qing wanted to reuse Guo Xi. This was just an opportunity for him to gain experience.
"What kind of virtue is the old minister? Let Your Majesty treat him like this? Although Guo Xi is not talented, he is also considered to be among the old ministers who can contribute to the Tang Dynasty. It is better to let him follow His Majesty. But His Majesty should know that he is not a person who can throne the border. What he has to do with a high position brings him not glory, but disaster!"
Guo Ziyi knew that it would be quite difficult for him to live to this age. Although he had many descendants, not many accomplished talents. If he only relied on his own contributions and his son died for the Tang Dynasty when he quelled the rebellion of An Lushan, it would be fine for the remaining descendants to have a good end.
Now that Li Qing is interested in Guo Xi, this is indeed a good thing in itself, but what Guo Ziyi is afraid of is that the fact that virtue is not worthy of position happens to Guo Xi.
Pugu Huaien is actually a very obvious example. If he had been with Guo Ziyi all the time, he would not have been associated with any anti-Tang incident. But it was because he served as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi that he lost himself. The same mistake, of course, Guo Ziyi did not want to happen twice in himself.
"Don't worry, the veteran general. Even if Guo Xi and I were in Suiyang, I wouldn't let him go any wrong path. This time I came to see the veteran general, it was about Pu Gu Huai'en. I'm afraid his life will not be saved when I go there. Don't blame me, the veteran general!"
When Guo Ziyi heard this, although she was obviously prepared for a long time, she still sighed slightly.
"Pu Gu Huaien is a general and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. However, he is a Tieler, and he was always very troubled by being a Tieler. The ability to be assimilated by Li Baochen and Shi Siming is probably related to his identity. Since that is the case, Your Majesty will not have to worry about it."
In fact, Guo Ziyi used Gu Huaien, a servant who was a Tieler, and also let the Hu people in the Tang Dynasty take a look. As long as you have no intention, there may not be only the result of An Lushan and Shi Siming. But now he has to admit that they are really a group of ungrateful wolves who are not well-fried.
Li Yi came here this time, but the main purpose was to comfort Guo Ziyi. After all, the old man was so old. If he suddenly hadn't waited for what, then there would be news that Pu Gu Huai'en was dead. It would be possible that the old man could not bear it for a while.
"The old general doesn't have to do this. During the Kaiyuan period, the Tang Dynasty was already quite tolerant of the Hu people. Even now, there are still many Hu people in my court who are in front of me. After this matter is handled, I will naturally make it believe me, and the Hu people who believe in the Tang Dynasty believe in the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing this, Guo Ziyi nodded heavily. He was not a general who only knew how to fight. Guo Ziyi was still quite clear about why this series of rebellions in the Tang Dynasty had arisen. He wanted to do something for the Tang Dynasty in his lifetime, but in the end it was contrary to his wishes.
In the end, Li Neng accompanied him in Guo Ziyi's mansion until the night was getting a little deeper, and Li Neng returned to his Tai Chi Palace.
He still couldn't stand watching a famous figure in history withering in front of his eyes. Although their withering can represent that he is creating an unprecedented history, this feeling is not good.
After returning to Tai Chi Palace, Li Qing had dinner with Zhang Mingyue and Feng Yi, because he could not tell how much time it would take to pacify Li Baochen and Pu Gu Huaien and other rebels. After all, he was facing more than 100,000 people, and there were guys like Yi Luohe who didn't recognize his relatives.
In a corner of Chang'an City, Du Huangshang was also having dinner with his father. According to Du Wan's instructions, there were only father and son on the table. Because Du Wan knew that there were some words that Du Wan could not give to too many people.
"Huang Shang, Your Majesty personally ordered your name in the court today and asked you to follow and quell the rebellion. I already know that my father can ignore anything else, but you have to tell my father what role you played during this trip? You are originally a Sima of Pingzhou, not a military general. Your Majesty knows that you can't do it even more when you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
Although his son's status in the court must be higher than his, Du Wan knew that he was still his son and he had to care about him.
Everyone who brought Li Neng could tell some of the reasons, but it was Du Huangshang, which was very strange when he returned to Chang'an City. Now that Li Neng personally named his name to go on the war, that was even more strange. Anyway, Du Wan thought so, so even if he knew that his son might have some secrets, he might not be able to tell him, but he still asked.
Du Huangshang lowered his head and ate a few bites of rice before putting down the rice bowl in his hand, looking up at his father. All he saw from Du Wan's eyes was worry.
Du Huangshang sighed and whispered, "I can't tell my father too much about this. Even if you know, it will not be of any benefit to our Du family. My father only needs to know that Your Majesty still attaches great importance to me. If I don't do it well, it's my own ability. I must go to the Beiting Protectorate this time. If I don't go, I will feel ashamed in my whole life. As for the reason, when I come back from the Beiting Protectorate, my father should know it."
Although Du Huangshang's words did not say anything substantial, Du Wan knew that this matter might have something to do with his son from beginning to end. Du Huangshang must have not known what kind of identity he had participated in the rebellion between Pugu Huaien and Shi Siming, and he was still quite involved.
"Okay! Since that's the case, I won't ask more. Your current status in the court is much better than my father. I only have one sentence: I must come back alive!"
