A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Seeing that Gu Qing woke up, the maid rushed to prepare hot water.

Holding the hot tea brought by the maid, Gu Qing drank it one by one, thinking about the situation in front of him, it was already the end of the 19th year of Zhenguan, and next year it will be the 20th year of Zhenguan.

Looking at the empty night in front of him, Fang Xuanling's face came to mind again and again. Since entering Chang'an, Fang Xuanling's teachings have always been pointing from the side. After traveling for so many years, I never thought that I would have such a person. entanglement.

Power is a double-edged sword. This sword is very sharp for him. Li Er will not let himself have real power, especially in terms of military power. Now he is a Shangshu Ling, and the entire Shangshu Province is just a For running errands.

Isn't it just officialdom and court, go out and go for a walk.

Gu Qing sat for the whole night, until it was dawn.

Sun Simiao woke up early and saw Gu Qing leading the horse, "What are you doing early in the morning?"

"Go to court!" Gu Qing said to Sun Simiao, getting on his horse.

"Go." Sun Simiao nodded with a smile, "As a teacher, I never thought that you would be a good person, but don't let down so many elders."

"Master." Gu Qing sighed in the cold air, "Actually, I am a good person."

Sun Simiao: "Hehe."

He rode his horse all the way to Chang'an City and got off his horse, then walked all the way through Zhuque Street to Chengtian Gate.

Gu Qing is coming to court again!This is a rare thing, Cheng Yaojin stared at Gu Qing for a long time without going to the Three Treasures Hall.

"Has Uncle Cheng eaten?" Gu Qing also looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"I ate it." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

"The kid can rest assured." Gu Qingchang sighed together.

"Old Niu, look at this kid." Cheng Yaojin pointed at Gu Qing angrily, "This kid is afraid that the old man didn't eat in the morning, so he ate him! Old Niu, you judge, this old man is like this people?"

Niu Jinda yawned, "Old man Cheng looks at him so directly, he should think too much."

"The old man is concerned that this kid is taking the initiative to go to court." Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Qing again, "Boy, when was the last time you went to court."

"Last time." Gu Qing thought for a long time, "Sorry, I can't remember."

Cheng Yaojin seemed to know that Gu Qing would say that, with a sneer on his face.

The palace gate opened, Gu Qing followed the officials into the palace, took off his shoes and walked into the Tai Chi Palace.

Before the DPRK meeting was formally held, the officials of the DPRK and China were chatting about their parents.

"Gu Qing." Chu Suiliang walked up and said, "Yesterday you stayed in the Ganlu Hall all night?"

"Yes, I'm exhausted, and I'm still sleepy." Gu Qing stretched his waist, "Your Majesty is sick, and I'm here to suffer!"

Chu Suiliang smiled, "Fortunately, with you and Dr. Sun, His Majesty can recover so quickly. I still don't understand. The Japanese people really beat us Datang people?"

"What do you want to do so much?" Gu Qing disagreed.

Li Er walked into the court hall and saw Gu Qing standing here, he also understood that Gu Qing could make a decision.

All the officials saluted, and the court meeting began. The first thing to do at the beginning of the court meeting was that the Prince of Persia had arrived at Yumen Pass, and he would arrive in Chang'an in a few days.

I thought it would be a Persian envoy who came this time, but I didn’t expect the Persian prince to come. The message sent from Yumen Pass is that the Middle East has been raging, and the war has not only swept to the west of the Silk Road.

"Your Majesty!" said the official from Yumen Pass, "According to what the Persian prince said, today Zhu sent [-] elite soldiers to help Dashi attack Persia."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court, and Dashi and Tianzhu joined forces.

Li Er's expression was very dignified. After letting Da Shi go for so many days, Da Shi had already joined forces with Tianzhu.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang stepped forward and said, "Now that the West is fighting, Dashi and Tianzhu are joining forces. Persia is far from being the opponent of the two countries. I think we should send troops to help Persia."

Listening to the words, Gu Qing felt something was wrong, "Your Majesty! I don't agree with Zhong Shuling's idea."

"Say!" Li Er said in a deep voice.

"At the beginning, Persia joined forces with Dashi, Tianzhu, and the countries in the Middle East to invade Tubo and kill my Tang soldiers with blood!" Gu Qing's voice echoed in Taiji Palace, "We can rush to help Persia, but Persia must give us Tang Dynasty Apologize, and belong to my Datang vassal state!"

"I don't agree with Shang Shuling's opinion." Chu Suiliang also said, "Your Majesty! Persia must apologize and pay the price for what they did in the past. If Persia is allowed to bow its head and become a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty at this time, there is no way to take advantage of others. danger."

Chu Suiliang refuted Gu Qing again and again, and Fang Xuanling could see the way to balance!Your Majesty wants to use Chu Suiliang to weigh Gu Qing. Gu Qing's character has always been special and independent, and Chu Suiliang is the best shackle that can check and balance Gu Qing.

"Our Datang has the strength to make Persia our vassal state." Gu Qing said again, "Persia stands at the western end of the commercial road. If Datang can hold Persia, we can rest easy on the future commercial road!"

"No!" Chu Suiliang said again, "Even if Persia is allowed to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Persia must be courteously surrendered. When using other people's crisis in this way, I am afraid that people's hearts will be different in the future, and it will be the opposite."

In fact, what both of them said made sense. Li Er thought in his heart that now is indeed a good time to seize Persia, a very, very good time. As Chu Suiliang said.

Right now, the opportunity is indeed right in front of us, but it is the most dangerous time to hold Persia. If Persia regains its vitality in the future, it will be rebellious and even worse.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Qing also said, "The Silk Road cannot fall into the hands of Dashi and Tianzhu. Once the situation in the Middle East changes drastically, Datang will lose its dominance over the trade routes. We cannot let this pass."

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling said, "It's better to wait until the prince of Persia is like Chang'an, and then discuss it. There is not only one way to make Persia a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. There are always more ways than problems."

Li Er wanted Persia to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and also wanted the eternal peace of the Silk Road.

The court meeting came to an abrupt end here, and Fang Xuanling stopped the argument between Gu Qing and Chu Suiliang.

Gu Qing is walking on the way back to court, waiting?Waiting for the Prince of Persia to come to Chang'an, isn't the daylily cold?Maybe Persia is already dead.

The trade route is related to the business, and the sea trade has just begun, and the Silk Road still needs to be focused.

Chapter 531 The Silk Road War ([-])

Many people could see Gu Qing's thoughts, and the whole Shangshu Province was very quiet, and the voices between the exchanges were lowered a lot.

Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong didn't dare to speak, it was the first time they saw Gu Qing's serious expression.

The whole of Chang'an was discussing the war in the Middle East. As soon as the court made a noise, it spread among the people. Di Renjie also knew the news, and Pei Xingjian also knew the news.

Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Chumo were sitting together discussing the current situation in the Middle East.

Right now, Persia is at stake, and Dashi and Tianzhu are attacking Persia's territory.

"So you're all here." Li Tai walked into this tavern, which was the tavern of Cheng Chumo's wife, and since entering Cheng's house, this tavern has hardly opened.

"His Royal Highness King Wei." Su Dingfang stood up and saluted.

Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui also saluted.

"Let's all sit down." Li Tai walked into the tavern, closed the door and said to the three people in front of him, "This time it is more appropriate for the court to discuss when to send troops."

"Old Fang." Cheng Chumo looked at Su Dingfang.
