A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"I see." Gu Qing mixed the syrup, "What did you just say?"

"Student..." Di Renjie smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, it's not a big deal."

"I know, I know everything." Gu Qing went on to make popsicles, "The position of Dali Siqing is not easy to do, and he is no longer the former Shaoqing. Since you are in this position, you can do what you should do. You can use Your men are staring at some of the monks."

"Did something happen?"

"There is no accident now, so it's hard to say in the future." Gu Qing put away his thoughts, "The monk sent the news that a few people under his command have disappeared recently. Although they are not the backbone, they still know something. I'm afraid that the monk will get into other people's hands."

"Student understands." Di Renjie nodded.

"Some things are left to people who I trust." Gu Qing waited for the popsicles to condense, "You are also a person who can stand alone now, some people and some things you have to judge by yourself, you are in charge of Dali Temple, the entire Dali Temple is yours. You have to find out, you should also build a power of your own."

Di Renjie nodded, "Teacher, what's the use of making so many popsicles in this winter?"

"Try something new for the Prince of Persia." Gu Qing laughed, "When he comes to Chang'an, I can't go there empty-handed. The situation in Persia is troubling, so I need to get some more words out of the mouth of the Prince of Persia."

At this moment, the Prince of Persia is living in the posthouse in Chang'an. His Majesty the Tang Dynasty seemed to have forgotten himself when he came to Chang'an, and he never gave himself an answer.

"Prince of Persia?" Gu Qing appeared outside the door with a smile.

Looking at the incoming Prince of Persia, he replied in broken Guanzhong dialect, "You are the one from Tai Chi Palace."

"It's right here." Gu Qing took out the food box, "I made some snacks, the Prince of Persia might as well try my cooking."

Chapter 535 The Silk Road War ([-])

"Thank you." The Prince of Persia opened the food box, looking at the ice lollies that were steaming cold inside, feeling a little helpless.

Seeing the other party's distressed appearance, Gu Qing shook the folding fan in his hand, "Just keep it in your mouth."

The Prince of Persia nodded when he put the popsicle in his mouth and his teeth hurt from the cold, so he had to put it down resentfully, "Do all of you Central Plains people eat this thing?"

"Is that true? This is because I have nothing to do." Gu Qing said with a smile again.

The Prince of Persia looked up at Gu Qing again, "Wouldn't it be colder if you were still fanning on such a cold day?"

"A very wise person once said, so I can stay awake." Gu Qing put away the folding fan, "Let's get back to the topic, tell me about your recent situation in Persia this time, and how the war is going now."

"When I left Persia, Dashi had already won a large area of ​​Persia, and the royal family is struggling to support it now." The prince of Persia replied.

Occasionally, a few hurried voices could be heard in the quiet post house. Gu Qing got up and closed the door and sat down again, "Let's talk some heart-to-heart words, some words I won't say, don't worry! Since Persia wants Tang to send troops , what benefits you Persia must give us."

"I am willing to be a proton in Chang'an."

"It seems that your righteous words are still not sincere enough." Gu Qing continued, "You should have heard about some deeds in our Central Plains, so you chose to be a proton, but protons are no longer feasible, and you are not sincere enough. .”

"Then what kind of sincerity does Tang need?" The Prince of Persia said again.

"Actually, you know what kind of sincerity our Tang Dynasty wants." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Prince of Persia, am I right?"

He looked at Gu Qing and lowered his head, "Since you said so, let me tell you the truth. In fact, the situation of the Persian royal family is very bad. Although I am the prince of Persia, my status in Persia is not high. I have three brothers. They are all very prestigious in the royal family, and it was my own idea to come to Datang, and I didn't get the royal family's consent."

"So that's the case, please continue to talk and I'm listening."

"Yes!" The Prince of Persia nodded again, "I want to get back the fame I deserve."

"The fame you deserve? It's too petty." Gu Qing looked at the prosperous Chang'an outside the window, "Prince of Persia, you can ask for more, and even take the position of King of Persia."

"But my position as prince is already in jeopardy." The prince of Persia said worriedly, "Maybe when I come to Chang'an this time, the position of prince of Persia already belongs to someone else."

Too weak, Gu Qing looked at him, no wonder the position of this prince is missed by other members of the royal family.

As he spoke, the Prince of Persia became excited, "Now my father, the king of Persia, only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. After the First World War in Tubo, Dashi, Tianzhu, Byzantium and even many countries in the West are strengthening their own power. In terms of military strength, only our Persia has been stagnant, and in a few years, the strength of Persia has been greatly reduced."

"It's all because of the prosperity of business that makes Persia happy. We Persia are rich but also very weak." The Prince of Persia said with a very excited expression.

"Don't think about a little prince, you can also be a king. I don't care if you are a prince of Persia or a member of the royal family. If you enter the Taiji Palace and claim to be a prince of Persia, you must be a prince of Persia. You must also become the king of Persia when Datang pacified Persia." Gu Qing's tone became serious and aggressive, "You know how powerful our Datang is, if Datang helps you become the king of Persia..."

The Prince of Persia's eyes began to show waves, "I am the king?"

"Yes!" Gu Qing nodded, "People in the Persian royal family are better than you."

"They are indeed stronger than me." The Prince of Persia nodded

"That's fine." Gu Qing continued, "Now there is an opportunity in front of you, it depends on whether you dare to do it! Let me first talk about this and you should think clearly. After you and our Majesty agree, our Great Tang will Then you can send troops to conquer Persia!"

"I……"

The Prince of Persia was still hesitating, Gu Qing walked out of the door and closed it for him.

"Master Hou, would you like something to eat?" the postman said to Gu Qing.

"You're welcome."

"Where."

While talking, Li Chengqian also came, "Gu Qing, why are you here?"

"His Royal Highness." Gu Qing sat on the bench, "I am here to visit the prince of Persia, and see if he will not be acclimatized when he first arrives."

"What did you say to the Prince of Persia?" Li Chengqian stared at him.

"This prince of Persia has an elm head." Gu Qing watched the waiter serve several dishes of appetizers, "I want the prince of Persia to become the king of Persia, then things will be much easier after that."

"King of Persia?"

"Yes!" Gu Qing ate a mouthful of mutton, "It is the king of Persia. Only when he becomes the king of Persia can our Tang Dynasty completely seize Persia. This Persian prince is weak, easy to control and very honest. I tried it. usable."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian also laughed, "Gu Qing, Gu Qing, you always say you are a good person, but no matter how Gu sees you, you are a bad person."

"Is His Royal Highness praising me?"

"What do you think?" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, "It's the emperor's account of Donghai. You and Gu have never had a correct agreement."

"This matter is not in a hurry." Gu Qing said again, "The ship in the East China Sea has not returned yet, and the sea trade has just started! After receiving the first piece of fat, there will be many things busy after the sea trade opens. It’s just idle, why not think about Persia’s affairs.”

"Gu and Chu Suiliang went to see Pei Xingjian." Li Chengqian asked tentatively, "Do you have any impression of this young man?"

"Who? I don't know." Gu Qing immediately vetoed it.

"He came out of your academy, and he won the first place in the imperial examination." Li Chengqian tried again.

"A lot of students from the academy have gone." Gu Qing was still perfunctory, "I only remember Shangguanyi, but I can't remember it. Would you like to have a bite, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I don't want to eat alone." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Go and see the Prince of Persia first. I hope you and Gu will take care of Gu Qing's future affairs, and Gu will ask you for advice."

"Don't you dare?" Gu Qing also waved his hand, "His Royal Highness needs to just say hello."
