A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Lingyan Pavilion... Li Er still wanted to put himself on it, Gu Qing thought to himself, "Your Majesty, I feel that the credit is too small, so let's forget it."

"Hehehe..." Li Ergan smiled, "Gu Qing, don't belittle yourself, you have done a lot of things for my community, but every time you finish doing it, you will cause trouble, you make new paper, Firearms, building academies, conquering the Turks in the north, going out of the Hexi Corridor to fight the western countries to establish national prestige, conquering Goguryeo in the east, if you say that your military achievements are no less than those of the veterans in the court, the most important thing is your firearms, Cheng Chumo and Su Dingfang themselves Needless to say, your firearms have frightened the frontier countries, which is your greatest contribution."

"No way, no way." Gu Qing laughed.

Li Er smiled wryly when he saw that this kid was cheap and good-looking, "But the court has too many voices for you. I agree that you can enter Lingyan Pavilion, but you also need to be approved by the ministers of the court. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Qing groaned, the taste of this sentence is not right, what does Li Er mean, he looks like he wants to push and welcome, if he wants to go, he will go, if he can't go to Lingyan Pavilion, forget it.

Li Er looked at the flowers all over the courtyard, and the monarch and his ministers stood together one after the other, speechless for a while.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Western Regions have left." Wang Qin said.

Li Er nodded again and said, "Gu Qing, what kind of person do you want to be in the history books?"

"There are descendants who say that I don't care that much." Gu Qing said.

"The speech officials above the court are punished by everyone." Li Er looked at Gu Qing, "Do you know how much public anger you have committed these years? Do you know what the speech officials in Chang'an say about you now? I just can’t figure it out, you should be sitting on pins and needles right now, why are you?”

"Why didn't you panic at all?" Gu Qing smiled.

Li Er shook his head and smiled wryly, "This time I can only give you some false titles. The First Battle of Liaodong City did not leave a single person alive. The fire was covered with paper. Naturally, someone in the court knew about it. Fortunately, you did not slaughter the people of Goguryeo. "

"It seems that you don't know some things." Li Er looked at the flowers in the courtyard, and everything here was peaceful. "When Li Ji broke through the city of Kaiping, he saw many young and old! At that time, Li Ji had no choice but to kill After killing them, Yuan Gai Suwen's subordinates let those old and young people rush towards Li Ji's army with weapons. The number of old, young, women and children who died in that battle was several times more than the soldiers. These things were written in Cen Wenwen. on the report."

Gu Qing raised his head and looked at Li Er. He didn't know about this at all. After Yuan Gai Suwen was captured, he didn't care about the battle in Pingyao City. Wen captured all the civilians and sent them into the army."

Liaodong City is just the tip of the iceberg, how many civilians there are in the crowded environment of Pyongyang City with hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Gu Qing, do you want to go to Lingyan Pavilion?" Li Er asked again.

"I think!" Gu Qing said.

"I see, you go back first."

Li Er's tone was very light, as if he was very tired.

Gu Qing walked away step by step, looked back at Li Er standing in front of the garden and standing behind Wang Qin, the emperor's back was full of loneliness and painstaking efforts, all the way out of the palace Li Tai, Cheng Chumo, Su Dingfang had been waiting here.

"Let's go! Let's have a good drink." Li Tai said with a smile, "Go to my mansion."

"Okay!" Gu Qing nodded.

The four of them walked side by side through Suzaku Street, and got drunk at Li Tai's mansion.

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

When he regained consciousness, Gu Qing hadn't opened his eyes yet, breathing in the familiar smells and voices that were so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with them. It seemed to be Di Renjie's voice, and Li Zhi, the little devil, opened his eyes with difficulty, his eyes changed from hazy to It was clear that two guys were playing chess.

Di Renjie was about to sit down and look at Gu Qing who was on the bed, "Teacher is awake."

"Yeah." Gu Qing sat up with difficulty, "Why did I go home?"

"You got drunk in my imperial brother's mansion." Li Zhi looked at the chess game, "The imperial brother sent someone to bring it back to you. Gu Qing, how much did you drink? Do you know what you said?"

Gu Qing stared at Li Zhi, "Did I say anything?"

"You said that Lingyan Pavilion is your appointment, and whoever dares to say no, you will eunuch him." Li Zhi said while saying, "Brother Huang and I couldn't stop you at that time, you knocked There are many officials in the court clamoring that Lingyan Pavilion is your appointment, and the memorials to impeach you in front of the emperor are almost piled up like a mountain."

Li Zhi said lightly, Gu Qing's face turned darker and darker.

Getting up and walking at home, Gu Qing didn't know what he had done. He drank too much and broke into pieces. What a mistake after drinking. I really want to come to this Lingyan Pavilion.

Chapter 391

"Master Hou, the hot water is ready." A maid at home came to report, "Madam said, I want Master Hou to wash after returning home."

The house is very quiet, the master is not there, and Wu Mei is not there. She must have gone for a stroll with the child in her arms. The little son is reading an unknown book. Yixing Lanshan came to the bathroom, took off her clothes and soaked her body in hot water. , I haven't enjoyed it this much for a long time, the few months away from home seem to have passed for a few years.

Footsteps came from behind, Gu Qing could feel who was behind him without turning around, smelling the familiar smell Gu Qing pulled her into the water.

"Husband, don't make trouble in broad daylight." Wu Mei struggled in the pool.

The maid who had been waiting outside the bathroom closed the door sensiblely and blushed while listening to the movement inside.

After some rain, Wu Mei carefully washed Gu Qing's long hair and helped him wipe his body, "My husband's hair is getting longer, it's time to cut it."

The husband and wife walked out of the bath, Wu Mei put on a robe and carefully helped Gu Qing trim his beard and hair. There was no unnecessary words between the two husband and wife. Gu Qing's hair was messy and many were knotted. "I'm very tired in Goguryeo."

Listening to Wu Mei's words, Gu Qing nodded, "I'm tired, the wind and rain are heavy, my nerves are always tense, and I'm tired of war."

Wu Mei trimmed very carefully. After so many years, the two grew up without knowing it. Looking back on the past when they were poor and huddled under the blanket to keep warm when the weather was cold, life was not easy at that time. After trimming Wu Mei Mei took out a small knife and carefully shaved Gu Qing's beard, Gu Qing's beard is not much, some must grow out, more of it is the stubble of the chin.

There was mist rising in the bathroom, Wu Mei wiped Gu Qing's face, and after tidying up everything, the maid also brought clean clothes.

After putting on their clothes again, the two walked out the door, only to see Sun Simiao laughing and hugging the child.

"I went to meet Princess Gaoyang in person." Wu Mei whispered, "Actually, I realized that Princess Gaoyang has changed a lot after meeting her in person."

"I see." Gu Qing nodded and sat down.

Wu Mei brewed a cup of tea and put it in front of him, "Things at home are pretty stable, even something happened to Fan Jian, and it's settled now. Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian didn't take much trouble."

"I don't worry about those two children's work." Gu Qing said, Wu Mei asked the servants in the family to bring the food.

Sun Simiao was tired from holding the child, so he put the child in Wu Mei's arms and said to Gu Qing, "Boy, are you not injured?"

"How can it be?" Gu Qing wolfed down his food, "I'm always at the back of the army, so I don't need to go to the battlefield myself."

Sun Simiao thought about it, and then went out to pack his herbs leisurely.

Wu Mei hugged the child and watched Gu Qing gobble it up, "Eat slowly."

Gu Qing struggled to swallow a mouthful of food, "Girl, you don't know what I eat these days."

With a wry smile, Wu Mei knew that Gu Qing had a rather picky taste, and some of the fresh dishes were made by Gu Qing himself, and the taste was also very good, so she said, "Husband, do you still remember the business route back then?"

"Remember, were the businessmen from various countries honest?" Gu Qing finished speaking and took a sip of soup.

"It's stable." Wu Mei said, "At first I thought the trade routes were not opened up so fast, but now the trade routes have been developed beyond Tianzhu. In fact, there are many small traders who have no way out. They will sell the things in Chang'an. When you go to the Western Regions or other places, because you are from the Tang Dynasty, all countries respect our merchants in the Tang Dynasty. Recently, a new thing has entered the market. It is said to be a kind of seasoning and the price is very high. Many people from the Western Regions People use that stuff to trade."

"what?"

Wu Mei took out some peppercorns and a small pepper plant, "This is the thing, because Guanzhong can't grow it, and the price is very high. I bought a plant for a lot of money and wanted to try growing it myself."

"This is pepper." Gu Qing picked up a pepper and observed it. In fact, this thing has been in Guanzhong for a long time, and it has always been a very expensive seasoning.

"Now the people's lives are getting better." Wu Mei said carefully, "Especially some merchants who do business with Gu Qing, they have saved a lot."
