A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Ah..." Gu Qing sighed, "There is a knife on Sezi's head, and the rainstorm pear blossom needle on the crown prince's head. We can't afford to mess with it. If we are not careful, we will become meat sauce."

----------------------Dividing line

A few days after Gu Qing received the envoys from various countries, the breeze was still there, but the spring rain did not come for a long time, and the Japanese monk came to Gu Qing again, "Mr. Gu, did your Majesty give us the title of the Japanese country?"

"Oh!" Gu Qing patted his thigh, "Sorry, I forgot."

Japanese monk: "..."

"There's been a lot going on recently." Gu Qing walked all the way in the village, "I really didn't forget it on purpose, look at how sincere my eyes are."

The Japanese monk glanced at Gu Qing's eyes, with a strange expression on his face.

"You have to believe me, I really didn't forget on purpose." Gu Qing walked all the way to the field, looking at the soil.

The Japanese monk looked at Gu Qing, "Master Hou, that..."

"I told you, I really didn't forget on purpose, you're never finished!" Gu Qing was impatient.

The Japanese monk looked at the sky aggrievedly, "Master Hou, I haven't said anything yet."

"Oh? Really?" Gu Qing looked at the Japanese monk with a surprised face, "Where are we talking?"

"Let's talk about the name of the country of Wa." The monk replied faintly.

"I'll tell His Majesty about this, just wait! Don't be in a hurry, it takes a long time to understand." Gu Qing looked at the Japanese monk with disdain, "Forget it, you don't understand, and you can't even speak Guanzhong dialect."

"I understand." The Japanese monk watched Gu Qing focus on the soil in the field, "Master Hou, there are still business matters."

"You country of Wa agreed to do business with us." Gu Qing picked up a piece of solidified soil and looked at it.

"Of course we are willing." The Japanese monk said hastily, "We are also willing to pay more tribute to Datang."

Putting down the soil in his hand, Gu Qing thought that the season was wrong, logically speaking, the first rain in spring should also come.

"Master Hou, are you listening to me?" the Japanese monk asked again.

"Listen? You said that there is more tribute, how much is this more? It seems that there is nothing to pay tribute to when you Japanese made silver cakes." Patting the dirt off his hands, Gu Qing sat on a big rock and looked at the field, worrying. "Can your Wa country help us fight?"

"War?" The Japanese monk hurriedly asked, "Who are you fighting?"

"Your neighbors across the sea fight Baekje and Silla."

"Baekje?" The Japanese monk was even more puzzled, "Master Hou, can we beat Baekje?"

"I have fought, of course I have. Now the situation between Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla is very chaotic." Gu Qing said to him, "Now our Majesty of the Tang Dynasty will support Goguryeo. Don't worry, when the time comes, your Wa Kingdom and Silla will fight together." Baekje and Silla are at war, and we will also attack Silla and Baekje with Goguryeo in the front."

"At that time, they will have wolves in front and tigers in back, and they will naturally not be your opponents."

After listening to Gu Qing's words, the Japanese monk still hesitated, "Master Hou, you are not playing tricks this time, are you?"

Gu Qing sneered, "Of course not, when did I ever play tricks on you?"

Japanese monk, "..."

"By the way, how much do you plan to pay us in Tang Dynasty? How is your illness?" Gu Qing looked at him.

Japanese monk, "..."

"You're talking, you shouldn't be really sick."

"I have to discuss with the national teacher carefully before making a decision." The Japanese monk said with his hands clasped, "I will take my leave first."

After the Japanese monk left, Gu Qing fell into deep thought again. The Japanese country wanted to pay a lot of tribute to the Tang Dynasty. How many silver cakes are there?What should these guys do if they call their father and refuse to pay the tribute?

In the Chang'an Palace, Li Er and Empress Changsun watched a group of court ladies dancing, and heard Wang Qin's report that Gu Qing wanted to do business with envoys from various countries.

After dismissing the maids, Li Er whispered, "Call Gu Qing."

"Yes!" Wang Qin also bowed and stepped back.

"Erlang, did Gu Qing do something wrong again?" Queen Changsun asked.

"This Gu Qing..." Li Er felt dizzy when he thought of Gu Qing, "I entrusted Gu Qing with the reception of envoys from various countries, and this kid started doing business with envoys from various countries with my will, what an idiot! "

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience." The maid of the Lizheng Palace reported.

"Let him in." Li Er calmed down the anger in his heart.

"My son pays homage to my father and mother." Li Chengqian took out a memorial and said, "Father, this is a memorial prepared by my son. Gu County Marquis wants to do business with envoys from various countries, and my son drew up a charter to invite Royal father, take a look."

"Gu Qing wants to do business, so you want to do business too?" Li Er stared at Li Chengqian, "As a prince, you don't have any ideas of your own? Gu Qing wants to make a profit first, and you also want to make a profit. You have another thing to do." Does it look like a prince?"

"Erlang." Changsun Wuji comforted Li Er's anger, "Why don't you take a look first, the concubine thinks that Gu Qing's actions will not be so unreasonable, and I still understand the big things."

Chapter 310

Li Er's scolding voice echoed in Li Chengqian's ears. Holding the memorial in his hand, he didn't know what to say. Facing his father's anger, he dared not speak at this moment. The inexplicable anger burned all the hopes in his heart. Only grievances and boredom are left behind.

Empress Changsun took the memorial from Li Chengqian's hand, gave her son a comforting look, and placed the memorial on Li Er's desk.

After looking at his prince for a long time, Li Er nodded and picked up the memorial and read it. What was written on it was nothing more than business with various countries. The boredom on his face became more intense. He kept looking down and saw At first glance, the main points of this trade are not clear, but after careful consideration, this trade seems to be a national policy. Using trade to firmly tie the relationship between the various countries and the Tang Dynasty, spreads in the mind Open the territory of Datang.

In the quiet Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian could even hear his own breathing.

"Your Majesty." Wang Qin came to report, "Gu County has arrived."

"Let him in." Li Er's eyes were still on the memorial.

Gu Qing walked into the Ganlu Hall with small steps. It was a warm spring day outside, but there was still an inexplicable cold when he walked into the Ganlu Hall. He looked at Li Chengqian who was standing bowed, Li Er who was expressionless, and the eldest grandson who was uncertain Empress, bowed and saluted, "Minister..."

"Come here!" Li Er shouted.

"Hey!" Gu Qing approached Li Er's desk with small steps, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

After giving the memorial to Gu Qing, Li Er said coldly, "Is this your idea?"

Gu Qing took the memorial and glanced at it. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Li Chengqian who was still standing still, and then glanced at the expressions of Li Er and Empress Changsun, and immediately took a step back, "Your Majesty, this is all the minister's idea. The crown prince has nothing to do with it! I hope His Majesty will punish you only if you want to punish him."

"What do you mean?" Li Er looked at Gu Qing, "You said it was all your idea? This commercial strategy is enough to be a national policy, you mean it's all thanks to you?"

"Ah?" Gu Qing was surprised, and hurriedly said again, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, it's all the prince's idea and I have nothing to do with it."

Li Chengqian, "..."

"Gu Qing, you!" Li Er looked around and couldn't find a weapon to hit someone with his hand, so he slapped the table, "You bastard, are you kidding me?"

"Then what..." Gu Qing said awkwardly, "Actually, I just had an inspiration flashed through my mind, and then came up with this idea, and then the crown prince made these detailed arrangements, mainly due to the crown prince's credit, eh! so."
