A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Gu Qing, do you want to build this place into a big city?" Li Er looked at everything here.

"I really thought so." Gu Qing said in a low voice, "It's just that I don't know how to build a city wall."

"Why not build a city wall." Li Er asked again.

"I think the world will be in peace for a long time, so why build a city wall to defend Qingping?" Gu Qing replied with a smile.

Li Er nodded very pertinently, the city wall is meaningful, so many years of wars have been back and forth in the city defense battle, I want your village to never have a city wall. "

"En." Gu Qing nodded vigorously.

In the era of hot weapons, the role of the city wall will be much less. I don’t know if Li Er has realized this. Besides, there are many benefits to tearing down the city wall. A city wall needs to have traffic extending in all directions. Nowadays, the most important development in Datang is transportation. .

After wandering around the academy for a long time, Li Er smiled unconsciously when he saw the children here.

The breeze blows, and the buds on the willow tree have grown a lot just after spring.The green dotted on the dead branches symbolizes the vitality, and the same goes for the court. Young officials are the vitality of the court. If all the people standing on the court are old people, then the dynasty is not far from being destroyed. Yes, Li Er understands this truth very well, and knows the importance of this academy in the future.

Let all children have the opportunity to study, officials must come from common people's homes, and completely break the monopoly of the gentry. Li Er is at ease in this academy. At least the son of Fang Xuanling and Li Tai are in charge of this academy now. The two children can do good things. Although Gu Qing opened up the academy, Gu Qing did not hold the rights of the academy in his own hands, but retreated behind the scenes.

Li Er admired Gu Qing's deeds very much, and he didn't want this big opportunity. This is also a good confirmation of Gu Qing's words back then, that he would rather be a rich man.

The struggle between Li Chengqian and Gu Qing fell into a stalemate. Instigated by the dignitaries in Chang'an, Li Chengqian's prohibition of banquets became more and more opposed, and daily memorials were sent to the palace to advise.

Faced with so many remonstrances, Li Chengqian didn't respond to them, but used a cold treatment method, allowing these dignitaries to object. After all, this kind of thing has no great impact on the common people. Benefits, the agitation of the powerful can be completely ignored, if they make trouble, it is also a reason for themselves to take people.

Standing in the quiet Manna Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the seat where his father sat, "Gu Qing! You do the first day of junior high school and I will do the fifteenth! I don't care if you cut your money. If the rich and powerful make trouble, I will cut your wings. Who dares to do business with you, Gu Qing."

"Pass down my will." Li Chengqian said to the little eunuch beside him, "Whoever dares to hold a banquet against my will, no matter who is powerful or powerful, I will take it."

"Yes!" The little eunuch beside him nodded.

In Chang'an East City, Di Renjie was chatting with the fat monk in the pen studio, "Now your Majesty has not withdrawn the order to hold a banquet."

The monk nodded and said, "If you do this, you will lose the hearts of the dignitaries. If the voice of the dignitaries is loud, Li Chengqian will cut off the dignitaries. This must be guarded against. There are too many intricate entanglements between Mr. Gu and the dignitaries of the dynasty. It's on fire."

"Looks like I'm going to pass on a message." Di Renjie smiled and left the pen studio, all the way to the residence of Li's family in Zhaojun, Chang'an, and said to the concierge, "I'm here, Di Renjie."

"So it's Mr. Di." The porter said with a smile, "Please come in, the Patriarch has long expected that the Gu family will come."

"Thank you very much." Di Renjie walked in with a smile, and saw Li Ran dancing sword in the courtyard, and bowed to salute, "Sister."

"You're here." Li Ran put down the long sword in his hand and looked at Di Renjie, "My sister is fine these days."

"Wan'er has been thinking about her sister all the time, but it's hard to go out because she's pregnant." Di Renjie smiled, "I don't know when it's convenient for my sister to go and see Wan'er."

"I'll go when I'm done with the work here." Li Ran said with a smile, "You have grown a lot taller. The little hairy boy is now the minister of Dali Temple. It's no wonder that you experienced things at a young age than ordinary children. More will come."

The Li family's house is quite big, and it is one of the best houses in Chang'an. Di Renjie said in a low voice, "The dignitaries are not allowed to make trouble, and if they make trouble, it will be in the hands of Li Chengqian."

"I'll pass on the message to the dignitaries." Li Ran nodded, "But I think what Li Chengqian wants more is the support of the dignitaries. If he wants to cut off the dignitaries, he needs to do too much. support will be much easier.”

"But sometimes the powerful will pose a threat to the royal family." Di Renjie was still a little worried.

"I see, you go back first." Li Ran said to Di Renjie, "Let me think about it."

"Sister, Wan'er really misses you." Di Renjie said again.

"I see." Li Ran nodded slightly.

Walking out of the residence of Li's family in Zhao County, Di Renjie walked slowly on the streets of Chang'an, entering the bustling crowd.

Songtsan Gampo returned to Tubo, looking at his hometown, he was filled with emotion, "After so many years, I, Songtsan Gampo, finally came back."

Lu Dongzan came quickly on his horse, and when he saw Songtsan Gampo got off his horse and knelt on the ground with one knee, "Zanpu! You are finally back."

"I'm back, I'm back." Songtsan Gampo choked up, his eyes were red, "Is everything okay here?"

"Very good." Lu Dongzan nodded, "Is Zanpu doing well these years?"

"Very good." Songtsan Gampo nodded, "If Li Chengqian hadn't ascended the throne, I wouldn't be able to come back!"

On the Qinghai Sea, Lu Dongzan told Songtsan Gampo about the changes in Tubo over the years. Datang gave Tubo a lot of support, and Lu Dongzan explained everything in detail.

"That is to say, Gu Qing wants to do business with us in Tubo and open an academy?" Lu Dongzan was puzzled.

"Now there are children learning Guanzhong dialect." Lu Dongzan said, "Because we want to do business with the Central Plains, many people in Tubo are learning Guanzhong dialect. If there is money, the life of Tubo people will be much better. How many people in Tubo have been displaced in recent years, after the war, Tubo was too poor."

"Gu Qing used Yangmou, we had to be tied to Gu Qing's boat." Lu Dong sighed, "If there is no Gu Qing's business to restore Tubo, Tubo will fall into chaos again."

Chapter 6 Twelve: The Beginning of Machinations

"Since Zanpu is back, I will go to Tang Dynasty for instructions to let Zanpu restore the name of Tubo monarch."

"No need to do that." Songtsan Gampo denied, "Datang will not agree, I am a sinner to Datang, even if Li Chengqian would agree, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree, if I become the king again, Li Shimin will definitely kill me, and Gu Qing will not let me go."

Lu Dongzan nodded helplessly.

Gu Cun and Gu Qing also received news that Songtsan Gampo had returned to Tubo and was still supported by the people of Tubo, while Yuan Gai Suwen was stoned to death by the people of Goguryeo after returning to Goguryeo.

After receiving this news, Gu Qing felt very heavy. Perhaps in the hearts of the King of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen was already dead. In the hearts of the people of Goguryeo, Yuan Gai Suwen was an unforgivable person, because his deeds were the whole. Goguryeo fell into war, and Goguryeo's national power regressed for more than 100 years. If it happened at the beginning, it would be fine if Yuangai Suwen succeeded.

But he failed. The success of the king and the defeat of the bandit is a bloody lesson. The king of Goguryeo succeeded. The people of Goguryeo saw it. In the eyes of the people of Goguryeo, Yuangai Suwen had nothing but oppression and military disasters.

"Teacher." Di Renjie walked over and said, "Li Ran will help persuade the rich and powerful not to do anything out of the ordinary."

Putting away his emotions, Gu Qing said calmly, "Let's not worry, Li Chengqian is the one who is anxious. Li Chengqian has a lot of things on hand. Now that I am Xiangguo, the position of Shang Shuling is free."

"Yes." Di Renjie nodded.

Gu Qing took out several memorials and handed them to Di Renjie, "You give these memorials to Chu Suiliang, he knows what to do."

"Yes!" Di Renjie nodded.

Changan

Chu Suiliang received several memorials from Di Renjie, and looked at the contents with a smile on his face. It turns out that Gu Qing didn't really let go of it. The academy is already preparing a group of students who are about to graduate for the imperial examination this year. Participated in the imperial examination, supported the king of Goguryeo to conquer the country of Wa, and even became a general.

After reading it, Chu Suiliang still didn't see Gu Qing's arrangements for the East China Sea.

On the second day, Chu Suiliang began to arrange things after he went down to court.

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu came to find Gu Qing, "Congratulations to Master Gu for being promoted to Prime Minister."

Looking at the two congratulating him with great interest, Gu Qing said, "I haven't gone to court for more than half a month, I'm not competent as a prime minister."

"Where is the matter?" Xu Jingzong said with a smile, "Is there any matter in the court that does not need Master Gu to preside over it?"
