A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"That's right." Li Yifu also spoke, "Master Gu, who doesn't admire great talents."

"Okay, let's talk about it, do you think that the position of Shang Shuling is already red-eyed." Gu Qing poured tea for the two of them with his own hands, "I haven't been to the court for a long time, and Shang Shusheng's affairs are all yours these days." Work hard."

"It's all what we should do." Li Yifu laughed.

Looking at the expressions of these two guys, hesitant to speak, Gu Qing sat down and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

"That's right." Xu Jingzong said, "After the new emperor ascended the throne, many old ministers were replaced in the court. This is a good thing for our new generation of Shangshu Province, but these days we have received rumors , Your Majesty wants someone else to take the position of Shangshuling, and His Majesty is now intentionally or unintentionally dismantling the officials of our Shangshu Province, bringing in new ones and taking out the old ones."

"When did it start?" Gu Qing took a sip of tea.

"It's been some time." Li Yifu also explained, "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the court has begun to make drastic changes, changing people everywhere. Lord Hou and I have always been heartbroken to Lord Hou, and I am afraid that now His Majesty will make a decision to kill us. If it goes on, what should we do?"

Gu Qing doesn't really believe Li Yifu's words, and Xu Jingzong's loyalty can only be trusted halfway. These two tricksters are old oily people in the court.

"I can't protect myself now." Gu Qing shook his head and sighed, "But there are still ways."

"What way!" Xu Jingzong immediately regained his spirits, "I will listen to what Master Hou has to say."

Gu Qing said lightly, "This matter is also an opportunity for you. Nowadays, people in the imperial court are in panic. Once the emperor, this rule has always been in place. What Li Chengqian needs now is not a capable courtier, but someone who can definitely stand up. On his side, the courtiers who can even oppose me, checking and balancing me is what he wants most."

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were not stupid and immediately understood the meaning of Gu Qing's words.

"No, no, how can we do something that can't do justice to Lord Hou."

"Impossible, Lord Hou is kind to us, how can you let him down so much."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "This opportunity is right in front of you, I hope Li Chengqian can use you again, I will ask you again if you want to get this opportunity, you can rest assured that I will never care, but I need Li Chengqian to have someone around me. "

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu nodded after a long silence.

"Very good." Gu Qing said with a smile, "This matter is very simple. You just need to impeach me to Li Chengqian. Impeach me for embezzling the East China Sea maritime trade tax. You can impeach me for more crimes. Li Chengqian must be smiling when he sees it. The matter between me has been brought to an impasse by Li Chengqian, anyone can take a step back, but Li Chengqian can't, because he is the emperor, even if he is wrong, he will not admit it."

"I understand what Lord Hou means." Xu Jingzong said in a low voice, "Master Hou is advancing by retreating, and arranged us by the emperor's side as Lord Hou's eyeliner."

"That's right!" Gu Qing patted Xu Jingzong on the shoulder, "Cooperation benefits both, you can get the position you want, I can get what I want, in order to make Li Chengqian trust you enough, you can also impeach each other , sometimes life is just a play, you sing and we come on stage, it depends on who sings well, such a good opportunity is in front of you, how to grasp it is up to you, there is only so much that can help you, This is also the last time I will point out to you."

"Thank you sir."

"Thank you Hou Ye!"

Both of them saluted Gu Qing together.

"By the way!" Gu Qing suddenly remembered something, "What happened to the Qingguan in Pingkangfang back then?"

"There are still important matters in the court, so I will leave first." Xu Jingzong left in a hurry.

"I also...resign." Li Yifu also left in a hurry.

Chapter 6 Thirteen

The wind and rain in Chang'an has not stopped, Xu Jingzong returned to his residence, the house is not big but enough, there are only three or four servants in the house, and when he returned home, he began to write memorials, fabricating Gu Qing's crimes, knowing the crimes he fabricated It doesn't matter if it's true or not, what's important is to make Li Chengqian believe that he thought Gu Qing was in the bottom of his family, and let him believe that there is no room for anyone between him and Gu Qing.

On the other hand, Li Yifu is also writing a memorial at home. The man who pursued Qingguan also disappeared in the change of the ranger in Chang'an, but after all, he is only a woman. For Li Yifu, no matter how big the change is, There is not much entanglement with your own life.

On the second day, after the next court, Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong came to Ganlu Hall to meet Li Chengqian.

Looking at the memorials of the two of them, Li Chengqian kept smiling, "You two listed a lot of Gu Qing's crimes. Back then, I remembered how active you two were in currying favor with Gu Qing. Many people in the court also understood , you two are the ones that Gu Qing put in Shangshu Province to work for Gu Qing."

"It's ashamed to say." Xu Jingzong said with a sigh, "I didn't know that Lord Gu had done so many wrong things. If we knew that Lord Gu had committed so many crimes, we wouldn't have followed him all the time. Behind Lord Gu Hou, he, Gu Qing, disregarded the laws of the country and deceived the superior and the inferior!"

"Is it tolerable or unbearable!" Li Yifu also said, "Your Majesty! We are doing things for Datang Jiangshan, not for Gu Qing. Please learn from Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian had no expression on his face, "You two step back first, I have my own consideration."

Walking out of the Ganlu Hall, Xu Jingzong fell into doubt again, seeing no one around asked Li Yifu in a low voice, "Could it be that Li Chengqian doesn't believe it?"

Li Yifu stopped and thought about it, stepped forward and punched Xu Jingzong in the eye socket, and shouted loudly, "Well, you Xu Jingzong actually took credit from me!"

Xu Jingzong was a little stunned by this punch, but he understood what he had recovered from, and he also turned around and hit Li Yifu.

The two fought outside the Ganlu Hall, and Li Chengqian knew that the smile on his face grew stronger, and he told the little eunuch beside him, "These two hit ten boards each!"

"Yes." The little eunuch nodded.

Li Chengqian glanced at Xu Jingzong's memorial to Li Yifu again, and put it aside after reading it again. The trust between Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu can be put aside for a while, and then observe for a while. You can't trust these two people easily, unless they and Gu Qing are really serious. A face-off in the sense.

The rain in spring is always so disturbing, Gu Qing looked at the drizzle and said to Fan Jian beside him, "Is there any movement in Chang'an?"

"Go home." Fan Jian replied, "It is said that Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu fought in front of Ganlu Hall and were punished by His Majesty."

After receiving some rainwater from the eaves, Gu Qing whispered, "Send someone to beat them on the street."

"Yes!" Fan Jian went to work immediately.

"Did you worry about this guy?" Gu Qing sighed.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi, who had just finished class, saw that Gu Qing was depressed, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not because of your brother who is sitting in the Ganlu Palace." Gu Qing looked at the drizzle, "Your family is really ugly, no one is chasing him, and he still wants it!"

"You dare to scold His Majesty, my brother?" Li Zhi asked in surprise, "Gu Qing, are you so unafraid of death?"

"He dares?" Gu Qing sneered, "Your royal brother can't touch me now, how is His Royal Highness Jin and that farm girl recently? Have you cooked the raw rice?"

"Nope." Li Zhi also said decadently, "I don't know how to offend her, she ignores me these days, Gu Qing, can you think of a way for me?"

"Is there anything I can do." Gu Qing also lowered his head, "Women can't see through, it's all because the chest is too thick."

"Ugh."

The two sat in the courtyard and sighed in unison.

Sun Simiao came back with a bamboo basket of medicines on his back, and hurriedly put them in the room and spread them out to dry. When harvesting some herbs, one should pay attention to the seasons, and after the seasons, several good herbs will be missed.

"Boy, come help." Sun Simiao called Gu Qing.

"Here we come." Gu Qing walked over weakly and helped Sun Simiao spread out the medicinal materials. Some of the medicinal materials had to be wiped off with rainwater, otherwise the medicinal materials would become moldy.

"Master, what kind of medicine is this?" Gu Qing held a plant of grass.

"I tell you to read more medicine scriptures, but you don't listen to them." Sun Simiao packed the herbs by himself.

Gao Yang came back with his little Sizi holding an umbrella.

"Why did you come here?" Wu Meiying stepped forward and said, "Go into the room, I prepared some soup for you to drive away the cold."

Xiao Si took Gao Yang's hand and entered the room with a smile. Sitting at home, Gao Yang looked a little unhappy.
