A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"If you want a steamed stuffed bun, don't be afraid of being stared at by dogs." Gu Qing lowered his head and saw the withered grass in front of him, "I'm going to help Master clean up the herbs. If I don't pack some now, I'll go find herbs after the season."

"You go." Yang Sheng said lazily, "I want to keep an eye on the people in the village."

"Okay." Gu Qing stood up, "Where is my master?"

"The west slope outside the village." Yang Sheng changed his sleeping position.

Sun Simiao led a group of college students to dig herbs on the west slope outside the village. Gu Qing walked up to the old man, "There are so many people helping the old man, it seems that I can't be used."

"Are you back?" Sun Simiao said with a sad face, "How is the matter in court?"

"It's all nonsense." Gu Qing said annoyedly.

"Things in the world are always in a dilemma, and no one is better than you." Sun Simiao turned to smile, "Boy, when you become a family, you have to bear the ups and downs that life brings to you. Three of these four tastes It's uncomfortable."

"Master, do you have to make the atmosphere so ecstasy?" Gu Qing picked up a basket of herbs, "I'll put these things up first."

Chapter 463 I'm going to be in trouble

He also said that the world is full of dilemmas, why is this old man acting strange recently, thinking that Gu Qing carefully spread out these herbs, dried them on a clean wooden board, looked at the sun in the sky, the sun is not very bright, it seems to be Let it dry for a few more days.

"Teacher, let me do it." Di Renjie came over and took the bamboo basket.

"Okay." Gu Qing handed over the work to him, "How is your leg?"

"It's almost done." Di Renjie jumped twice, "It's just that some flesh was hurt, it's nothing serious."

"That's right, be careful in everything in the future." Gu Qing sighed and said, "Leave the rest of the matter to us, and you don't want to interfere."

"Mr. Duguyu's case has been closed." Di Renjie said, "Now that the prisoner is going to be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I'm a little worried about the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"It's okay, the Dugu family has come to an end." Gu Qing patted Di Renjie on the shoulder, "Don't ask too much, you've done enough, we'll do the next thing well."

Di Renjie nodded silently.

Back home, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, Wu Mei is thinking about how to deal with Empress Changsun.

Gu Qing said to Fan Jian, "Go to Cheng Yaojin's wine shop and ask for some spirits, put it on my account, remember to ask for the strongest."

"Understood." Fan Jian nodded repeatedly.

"Is my husband going to give the eldest grandson Empress a drink?" Wu Mei was a little confused, it was a bit strange to give the Empress spirits.

"It's not liquor, I want to make something that women like." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Perfume."

I remember that there are several kinds of flowers that smell very good in autumn. The smell of rosemary is not heavy, and it is elegant. I remember that it was introduced to the Central Plains from the Cao Wei period. More of a kind of elegance. "

What Gu Qing wants is this kind of feeling, not only for the fragrance, but also because he likes that kind of elegant fragrance.

In the village, Gu Qing was preparing to make perfume, Guanlong had another turmoil, and Chang’an’s tea and spirits business was cut off, all due to the shortage of goods, it didn’t take much deliberation to understand that this matter was Gu Qing’s doing .

After a long period of time, I was used to the water and spirits brewed in tea leaves, and it was difficult for me to get used to it when I came back to drink turbid wine and white water again.

Guan Longmen Clan, Yu Li, the head of the Yu clan, sat at home and listened to the reports of his servants. Chang'an's eyeliner and various clan clans have released a lot. No useful news has been received yet, but it is part of Gu Qing's means The next link is firmly tied to the economic key points in the Guanlong area.

"The business has already been cut off. This Gu Qing will cut off our money. What benefits will he get?" Yu Li said with irritated eyes. Beat all of our Guanlongmen clans to death with one stick?"

"Patriarch, that Dugu Tuo is still kneeling outside the door." The servant said.

Dugu Tuo ran into a wall in the Zhao family, and as the head of the Yu family, Yu Li naturally understood that the bear son of the Dugu family had caused such a catastrophe, and his stupidity would also implicate the entire Guanlong clan.

"The sky is about to change." Yu Li said melancholy, "Drive Dugu Tuo out for me, we won't see him at home."

"Yes!" The servant nodded.

Looking at the empty home, Yu Li let out a long sigh, "It's a pity that Yuwen's lineage is broken in Yang Jian's hands. If Yu Wen's family is still there, how can he and Li Yuan's family sit in that position? Li Shimin, you still can't tolerate us after all."

"Looks like it's about time." Yu Li looked in the direction of Qinling, not sure if that person was still in Qinling.

In the Zhao family in Guanlong, Zhao Rui, the second son of Zhao, was sitting with his elder brother.

"Brother." Zhao Rui said, "Li Shimin is going to attack Guan Long, we can't sit still and wait for death."

"As a brother, I don't think Li Shimin has such great confidence." Zhao Qin said calmly, "No matter how the dynasties change or the struggles between clans, this Guan Long will still be Guan Long in the end."

Hearing this, Zhao Rui sneered, "In just a few years in Zhenguan, how many changes have taken place in the Central Plains. Li Shimin has won great victories in several foreign wars. The time is also changing. Now Li Shimin's thoughts are different. .”

"Are you contradicting me?" Zhao Qin looked at his younger brother.

"I dare not refute my brother." Zhao Rui continued, "Li Shimin will not let Guan Long go easily. Our Zhao family wants to ask Cun to lower his profile at this time and not compete with him. Right now, the Zhao family wants to survive. You can't think about getting more from Li Tang."

"You have really disgraced our Zhao family." Zhao Qin shouted, "At the beginning, the Li family in Li Yuan's hands was just a small family. He was able to sit in that position because of the support of our family. Li Shimin thought If he wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, he will not be afraid of chaos in the world."

"Hehehe..." Zhao Rui said again, "It's not that I lost face to our Zhao family, it's that the Zhao family needs to survive. Li Shimin can't compare with Li Yuan back then. Although Li Yuan seems to have worked hard, Li Shimin has more city power. If they are too fat, they will be slaughtered. When the Li family took that position, the five surnames and Qiwang supported them. It doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as they can protect their own interests, and the one sitting in the palace It was because of the interests at the beginning that we were not moved."

"You want to bow your head?"

"It's not that I want to bow my head." Zhao Rui persuaded: "It's this time that we have to bow our heads. Li Shimin's wings have spread, Tubo's surrender, Turks' almost being killed and their country destroyed, Tuyuhun half dead, Xue Yantuo panicked. Facts! This is Li Shimin's current strength, the mutual benefits at the beginning, what is the end of the five surnames and seven Wangs now, we can't follow their old ways, brother, you should see clearly! Li Er is not a benevolent king, just like dealing with At the beginning of the aristocratic family, he held a butcher knife in one hand and a jade seal in the other, and the aristocratic family that has been around for hundreds of years can't stand Li Er's spicy taste."

"As a child of the Zhao family, you don't think about the Zhao family, but you think about the city. I feel very humiliated, brother!" Zhao Qin stood up, "Look carefully, how does Li Shimin restrain the Guanlong clan? He doesn't have the ability to pacify Guan Long."

Zhao Rui looked at his elder brother leaving with a smile on his face. The conversation was almost over. Zhao Qin is a proud person. He doesn't have any city, but this elder brother likes to compete with him. The more he wants to go north, he Just want to go west, the easier it is for this kind of person to be used.

After regaining his composure, Zhao Rui said to the attendant beside him, "Send all the money and manpower from my house to outside Guan Long, Guan Long will be in great trouble."

Chapter 464 Heir?

The Guanlong family is very peaceful but also shrouded in a very tense atmosphere. The various families move around very frequently, wanting to know what each family wants to do. The second son of the Zhao family left the Zhao family mansion and came all the way to the branch of the Qinling Mountains. Mang Mountain.

Looking at this Mang Mountain, Zhao Rui got off his horse and walked into the mountain step by step. There are too many stories in this Mang Mountain. At that time, the generals of Guanlong Badazhu Kingdom headed by Yu Wentai fought hard here, and Yu Wentai was also there. The halberd was broken here, and the Yuwen lineage fell from the battle of Mangshan, and even the mention of the name Yuwentai was almost forgotten until it died out.

It was also an era full of wars. The two Weis of Liang and Wei faced each other across the Qinling Mountains, the rebellion of the Hulao, the indifference of the Wei Emperor, the scramble between the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei, the Western Wei created Yuwentai and destroyed Yuwentai, Yuwentai The demise of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was also the beginning of a turning point. The Northern and Southern Dynasties were also a very turbulent era. In the south were Liu Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen, and in the north were the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou. The flames of war still raged in the Central Plains until Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty walked out of the troubled times.This somewhat absurd era was also the rise and fall of the gentry, which established the five surnames and seven clans and created the Guanlong clan.

Zhao Rui stepped on these weeds, Yuwentai was defeated in Mangshan Mountain, and Yuwen's family was lonely all the way. It may not be that Yuwentai is a very successful person, but sometimes his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

There is also a legend in Mangshan Mountain that this is the largest mausoleum. People from all dynasties and dynasties are buried under the Mangshan Mountains which are hundreds of miles away. Many legendary figures are buried here, which also adds a lot of legends to this Mang Mountain.

Corresponding to Mang Mountain is Luoshui, a mythical Luoshui that rises from Longshou Dam and goes eastward all the way, a spectacle that flows continuously for more than a thousand miles.

There is a hut on the mountainside here, and an old man lives here, and it is said that he is a tomb keeper, but no one knows whose tomb he is guarding, nor how long the old man has been here. He has been living on the mountain as long as he can remember, from middle age to the current white hair, he has never left.

"Here I am again, old man." Zhao Rui stepped forward with difficulty, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you are getting older."

"I'm about to die." The old man said, "I wanted to die peacefully, why did you come to disturb my leisure?"

"I'm bored, I came here to find leisure, I also want to live in Mangshan for a while." Zhao Rui said, "The world under Mangshan is too lively, I have to think about hiding."

"Hehehe..." The old man laughed.
