A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

The Japanese monk angrily threw the pill on the ground and crushed it with his foot, "Gu Qing! You are playing tricks on me again!"

At the lake tower outside Chang'an, Sister Yue also returned to the lake tower, looking at Gao Yang in men's clothes, "You haven't gone to see Gu Qing these days?"

"Don't go to him, Wu Mei is pregnant now." Gao Yang was dressed in men's clothing, "Wu Mei is pregnant now, if I step in now, I will inevitably feel that I am taking advantage of others, and Gu Qing is different from other men, I want Gu Qing Accept me from your heart."

"Stupid boy." Sister Yue said with a smile, "Let me see if your knife throwing kung fu has improved."

……

Since Gu Qing took over the reception of the envoys from various countries, he has never paid attention to those envoys, but completely left these people in Chang'an. The prime minister and a general of Goguryeo, the two first bowed and saluted, "I have met Gu County Marquis."

"Please stand up, both of you." Gu Qing said politely.

The prime minister of Goguryeo said, "Goguryeo hopes that the Tang Dynasty can help us go down to the country to pacify Baekje and Silla. Now Goguryeo is a three-party war, and there are wars everywhere."

The Goguryeo general on the side also said, "I hope Shangguo can help us. General Yuangai Suwen is willing to ride with Datang in Goguryeo."

One is the prime minister, who is regarded as a civil servant of Goguryeo, and the other is a general of Goguryeo. Hearing the words, he should be Yuangai Suwen.Gu Qing looked between the two, keeping a distance between the two talking, it seemed that they were not in harmony, Gu Qing was curious about the relationship between Yuangai Suwen and Goguryeo?

"Of course we, Shangguo, are willing to help you." Gu Qing continued, "It's just that our Tang Dynasty has just settled the war between several parties and needs to recuperate. When it comes to sending troops, it won't be so easy to send troops in a while, and we need time. Let’s prepare, but don’t worry, the Tang Dynasty will never sit idly by regarding the Goguryeo matter.”

The prime minister of Goguryeo glanced at the general at the side, and said to Gu Qing, "Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded and walked to the side of the Goguryeo prime minister, keeping a distance from the general.

Goguryeo's prime minister whispered, "Master Hou, please save our Goguryeo royal family."

"Speak slowly." Gu Qing said.

"The thing is like this." The Goguryeo prime minister said, "Now our king of Goguryeo is still young, and this Yuangai Suwen is the general of Goguryeo. He wants to participate, he wants to seize the entire Goguryeo, this person is arrogant, his generals are all like wolves, and now the royal family of Goguryeo is in danger."

"Don't worry." Gu Qing said again, "We went to the kingdom to support the orthodoxy of your Goguryeo royal family."

After the prime minister of Goguryeo finished speaking with Gu Qing, the general who was standing beside him took a look at the prime minister and hurriedly said, "Mr. Gu, can we also take a step to talk."

Chapter 306 Granary

"Didn't the prime minister already tell me?" Gu Qing asked knowingly.

"Back to Lord Hou." The general of Goguryeo explained in a low voice, "The situation in Goguryeo is complicated now, and some things can only be said with Lord Hou alone."

Gu Qing distanced himself from the prime minister of Goguryeo, and said to General Pi, "Now he can't hear you, just tell me."

"Yes!" General Pi said, "Now our king of Goguryeo is acting immorally and causing harm to the people of Goguryeo. Please also ask Lord Hou to speak to His Majesty Tang. General Yuangai Suwen is going to overthrow the old royal family and support the new king. If Hou I must be grateful to you for willing to help Goguryeo."

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own consideration."

After a few words, Gu Qing bid farewell to the two Goguryeo people. It seems that Yuan Gai Suwen is ambitious, and the Goguryeo royal family also understands those thoughts.

Li Zhi walked out and said, "Gu Qing, what did they tell you? It's mysterious."

"What those two people said was not the truth." Gu Qing laughed, "So I didn't give them any real promise."

"Then shall we send troops to support Goguryeo?" Li Zhi asked again.

"It's none of your business." Gu Qing tapped Li Zhi's forehead with a folding fan.

"Why is it none of my business?" Li Zhi pestered Gu Qing, "Tell me, what did the Goguryeo people say?"

Gu Qing sat down and sipped tea, "The mother-in-law is right, and the public is right! Those two Goguryeo guys seem to be inseparable. The current situation in Goguryeo is like Cao Cao and Liu Xie. Yuan Gai Suwen wants to control Goguryeo. I hope the king of Goguryeo can do it." Give up the throne, if you don't let it out, you will do it, and the king of Goguryeo hopes that Yuan Gaisuwen can die on his own initiative."

"What should we do?" Li Zhi continued to ask.

"Actually, Goguryeo's military strength is very weak." Gu Qing said slowly, "Their weapons are not as powerful as ours, and their population is not as large as ours. Right now they are fighting with bare hands. If you hand them a knife at this time... ..."

"I see!" Li Zhi had a flash of inspiration, "Let's give the Goguryeo royal family a knife."

"Wrong!" Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi, "His Royal Highness Jin still thinks too one-sidedly, give the Goryeo royal family a knife, and wait to destroy Yuangai Suwen and then pacify the whole Goguryeo? Then what else do we have to do."

Li Zhi was thinking, "Then none of us will help?"

"His Royal Highness, you are wrong again." Gu Qing said again, "Actually, we have to help each of these two parties! Give each of them a knife, let them kill until the sky is dark, the sea is dry and the stone is rotten. Once Goguryeo is in chaos, We have an opportunity."

Li Zhi nodded seriously, then looked at Gu Qing again.

"Why is His Royal Highness Prince Jin looking at me like this?" Gu Qing fiddled with the folding fan in his hand.

"I adore you!" Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing.

"Ahem..." Gu Qing tidied up his clothes and stood up straight, "His Royal Highness, please worship respectfully."

"Hmph!" Li Zhi snorted coldly, peeling the walnut in his hand, "Smelly shameless!"

Li Chengqian was sitting in Changsun Wuji's mansion, knowing that the envoys from Goguryeo had gone to see Gu Qing, seeing Gu Qing playing tricks on the Japanese envoys for the first time, he really didn't have the heart to listen in, distressed, "This Gu Qing is messing around."

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Many of Gu Qing's deeds are often puzzling. Sometimes he just does it rashly, and sometimes what he does makes sense. I think His Royal Highness should attend the hearing today."

Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji with a strange expression and didn't know what to say for a while.

On the third day when Gu Qing received the envoys from various countries, the envoys from Nanzhao came. They came to Gu's home which was furnished with novelty.

"You're welcome, please get up." Gu Qing said with a smile, "I don't know what Nanzhao is asking for when he comes to congratulate him this time."

"Going to the kingdom, I hope that our Nanzhao students can enter the first school in the Tang Dynasty." The Nanzhao envoy directly stated his intention.

Gu Qing looked at this cold Nanzhao envoy, "Does your Nanzhao rice grow three times a year?"

The envoy of Nanzhao said, "Our Nanzhao's grain can be harvested twice a year, and the harvest will be much less in the third season. Are you interested in our rice?"

In fact, Nanzhao is a small country of little value, and most of the residents of Nanzhao are in the deep forest. Compared with the vastness of Guanzhong, Nanzhao in this era is still relatively backward. Gu Qing looked at him, "Your Nanzhao pays tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. Not many, as the old saying goes, good manners are more important than affection, and we have always seen your loyalty to Datang, but we hope that you can increase your tribute to Datang."

"But Nanzhao is barren..." The Nanzhao envoys looked troubled.

"You have a lot of grain in Nanzhao." Gu Qing walked to the Nanzhao envoy, "How much grain does your Nanzhao harvest in a year?"

The Nanzhao envoys thought in their minds, "If we can gather food from other tribes and get enough sunshine and good rain for a season, there will be 50 shi according to the weight and measure of the Tang Dynasty."

"50 shi! One season?" Gu Qing thought to himself, "You must be bragging."

"May I ask Lord Hou, what is the reason for bragging?" The Nanzhao envoy was puzzled again.

"It's a kind of big talk." Gu Qing rubbed his nose angrily, "I ask you again, do you really have 50 shi? Then, considering the population of Nanzhao, you have too much food to eat."

The Nanzhao envoy went on to say, "In fact, there are many places in Nanzhao where rice can be grown, but many people in Nanzhao are self-sufficient. However, Nanzhao people will not go hungry, and a lot of food will be surplus in the fields. After taking care of it, it’s enough to eat anyway.”

"That's it." Gu Qing had an idea in his mind, "Whether you have 50 shi of rice in a season or not, you will be exempted from paying tribute every year, but you will give Datang 100 million shi of grain every year!"

"One million stone?" The Nanzhao envoy hesitated again.
