A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Then what should we do, let the kid continue to mess around?" Gu Qing said.

"I have thought about it." Wu Mei said again, "I plan to discuss it with Princess Changle in a few days. I should let the concubine come forward. If there is a chance, our family will provide money and people to arrange the marriage for Zhang Jie. He bought a house."

"You talk about this matter." Gu Qing said clearly, "You can arrange it. You can spend the money at home in whatever way you want. Zhang Jie is also very careful in handling things for me. I will reuse this kid in the future."

"I understand." Wu Mei smiled and nodded.

At this moment, Zhang Jie is learning woodcarving from several carpenters. He wants to carve out the appearance of his sweetheart, and then send it to him to impress him.

After eating and drinking at home for a few days, Gu Qing came to Chang'an on horseback, passed by Zhuque Street all the way to Fangfu, walked into Fangfu familiarly, and met his teacher.

"Teacher." Gu Qing saluted first.

"En." Fang Xuanling raised his head and glanced at Gu Qing, then buried himself in the matter.

After pouring Fang Xuanling a cup of tea, Gu Qing said with a smile, "Teacher, are you reviewing documents?"

While talking, Gu Qing studied Fang Xuanling's ink diligently.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Fang Xuanling knew that Gu Qing must have something to do with being so attentive.

"It's okay!" Gu Qing said with a smile and waved his hands, "The students are just here to visit the teacher, to grind ink and pour tea for the teacher."

"Hehe..." Fang Xuanling laughed dryly, obviously not believing it.

"Actually, there are indeed some things." Gu Qing twitched again, "Isn't the imperial examinations going to start next year? There's a fellow under the student's hands who is sneaky and sneaky, no! He's honest and hardworking, and I'm thinking of arranging an invigilator for him. official."

"No!" Fang Xuanling resolutely refused.

"Okay, the student listens to the teacher, if he can't do it, he can't do it!" Gu Qing nodded his head.

"You brat." Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly, put down the pen in his hand and looked at Gu Qing, "Tell me, why did you ask such a person to be the invigilator? The old man can see that you have plans in mind. It won't be so innocent."

Gu Qing looked at Fang Xuanling quietly and said, "Actually, the students think that since the academy can write questions, the academy should also send someone. Teacher, do you think so?"

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Assuming that you are right, that person can be an invigilator, but he cannot participate in the preparation of the imperial examination, okay?"

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded with a smile, "As long as people from the academy can enter the imperial examination."

"You still want to create momentum for the academy." Fang Xuanling saw Gu Qing's thoughts at a glance, "You are still worried about how many people with five surnames and seven wangs will participate in the imperial examination, or you want to see how many people will leave the imperial examination. The five surnames that I originally took refuge in."

"Teacher Mingjian." Gu Qing smiled and cupped his hands.

There were only two voices in the study room. Fang Yiai, who was dressed in army clothes, returned home. He wanted to meet his father first, but then he heard the voices in the study room. It was not good to disturb the relationship between his father and Gu Qing. conversation.

Fang Xuanling said again, "Your court has already thought about this point. There are rumors from outside that the children of the five surnames and Qiwang will not participate in the imperial examination this time. As for those scholars, will they leave the aristocratic family? It depends on how many students will be recruited in the imperial examination this time."

"What the teacher said is true." Gu Qing also nodded, "Scholars and scholars have always worshiped under the name of the family, so that they have to look at the face of the family if they want to get ahead. Scholars and scholars are the real foundation of the family. Besides, One thing to understand is the hope of the five surnames and seven wangs, without this hope, the five surnames are just rich and powerful."

"As long as we dig out the hope of the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family's control over the court and the power of the people will collapse. The court will win the hearts of the people and disintegrate the aristocratic family, killing two birds with one stone."

"Since you understand everything, I don't have to worry about it." Fang Xuanling said again, "This old man is playing against His Majesty today, and His Majesty has entrusted you with the task of rebuilding the Daming Palace."

"Yes! The students are indeed still thinking about this." Gu Qing said again, "Teacher, how can the students rebuild the Daming Palace quietly and bypass the courtiers."

"You can think of the purpose of the imperial examination, but you can't think of a way to rebuild the Daming Palace?"

Gu Qing smiled wryly, "It is said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws. The so-called lice don't bite if there are too many lice. Anyway, the student's reputation has become a rare scum in the mouth of the court and ministers. It is better to lose to the end."

"The rare scum..." Fang Xuanling thought about this sentence, hesitating to speak, "Can the scum be rare?"

"Teacher, do you think the students should make preparations early?" Gu Qing said, "If anyone dares to impeach the students, the students will pour urine at his door, making him stink in the wind."

Fang Xuanling held his forehead in pain, "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."

Gu Qing poured another cup of hot tea for Fang Xuanling, and looked at his teacher expectantly.

"In fact, the reconstruction of Daming Palace is mainly due to manpower and material resources." Fang Xuanling continued, "Nowadays, the ministers in the court are worried that His Majesty's large-scale conquest of people's power will affect the progress of the imperial examination, but if the people volunteer to rebuild Daming Palace, these troubles can be saved. , the reason why it was handed over to you is because you were able to get the people to help you build that big workshop in a short period of time, and your reputation is very good."

"So human, material and financial resources can only be figured out by the students themselves?" Gu Qing had thought of this result a long time ago, and wanted to test the teacher's tone, but there was no surprise in the end, but he was also a little disappointed. Li Er, Li two!If you don't take you to play like this, why do you ask me to pay for rebuilding the Daming Palace?

"If you want to build Daming Palace, you need to convince that person first." Fang Xuanling sat upright and took a sip of hot tea.

"Which one?" Gu Qing was puzzled.

"You know, it's inconvenient for the old man to say more, so let's go back earlier." Fang Xuanling chased away the guests calmly.

Gu Qing walked out of the study with thoughts, and ran into Fang Yiai, "Second Brother Fang, you are back."

"Eh..." Fang Yiai nodded, "En!"

"Let's play together some other day. Recently, I want to study a western percussion instrument. It's very exciting to play." Gu Qing said with a smile and waved his hands, "Come and play when you have time."

"Hey." Fang Yiai nodded.

Leaving Fangfu, Gu Qing wondered who the teacher was talking about. If you want to talk about impeachment, Wei Zheng is the only one who dares to point his nose and scold Li Er. It should be him!Gu Qing was determined to walk all the way to Wei Zheng's house.

Wei Zheng also lives on Zhuque Street. Although he is also a Duke of the State, he is still Zheng Guogong, but this guy's popularity is not very good. Apart from hating the sky and the earth, the old man Wei Zheng wants to hate His Majesty Li Er from time to time, especially everyone on Chang'an Zhuque Street. General, Wei Zheng has beaten more than half of him.

Wei Zheng's house is also very eye-catching and does not occupy a large area. If it hadn't been for the fire that burned down his house last time, it would still look decent now. If it was no different from ordinary people's houses in the past.

In the bleak Zheng Guogong Mansion, Gu Qing saw Wei Zheng who was sitting in the yard reading a book, and was about to walk in. A passerby hurriedly stopped Gu Qing, "Young man, are you going to his house?"

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded.

"Young man, I want to talk to you." The middle-aged elder brother passing by whispered, "Don't think this is the Duke's Mansion. There is a strange old man living here. It is said that no guests come to the door for half a year and ten months. Not to mention how bleak it is, every time I walk at night, I feel that this place is haunted."

The desolate autumn wind blew through Gu Qing and swayed, "Brother, there are actually no ghosts in this world."

"It's just scary." The middle-aged man said, "If you want to go in and take a look, just take a look, be careful."

After listening to his words, Gu Qing smiled wryly at how bad Wei Zheng's popularity was, and walked into the mansion Gu Qing took a few steps forward, "Old Wei."

"Others advised you not to come in, why did you come in again." Wei Zheng obviously heard the conversation just now.

"Actually, I don't believe in these ghosts and snakes." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Wei Lao's new house is quite satisfactory."

Wei Zheng glanced at Gu Qing, "I heard that His Majesty entrusted you with the task of rebuilding the Daming Palace?"

The rumors in the court were really fast, and there were many wry smiles. Since the old man Wei Zheng knew his purpose, he went straight to the point, "Old man, I want to rebuild the Daming Palace, can you not get involved, this time it will be the Are you deaf and blind?"

"Deaf and blind? Well thought out." Wei Zheng waved his sleeves, "The Daming Palace can't be repaired now, and people's livelihood is really good these days, but the Tang Dynasty has repeatedly used troops abroad, and the people's sufferings must be investigated. Gu Qing, you are a sensible person , the old man hopes that you can also persuade His Majesty."

"What if I have to build it?" Gu Qing said forcefully, "Rebuilding Daming Palace is enough to make my name go down in history."
