A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

The other party whispered, "Where's the guy with you?"

"He's gone in." He whispered, "He's gone into Death Valley."

"Do you need to kill him?" Another person came and asked in a low voice.

"No! Keep him to show us the way."

"I won't go into Death Valley, it's connected to hell, it's terrible." He knelt on the ground and said, "Please let me go, I don't want to go in."

"It's up to you, tie it up!" The other party said coldly.

Another volume of letters was found from the herdsman, and the other party opened it and looked at it, "This is for Gu Qing? I didn't expect the famous Gu Hou Ye to be interested in longevity?"

The surroundings were quiet when they heard Gu Qing's name.

After reading the contents of the letter, he opened his mouth to speak, "Give this volume of letters to Master Gu. I want to see if Gu Qing will come to seek longevity. Give me a good rest and go to the valley tomorrow morning."

The herdsman's hands and feet were bound like this, and he found that there was an old man among the people who was respected by these people and seemed to be the leader.

The old man said, "If there is no clue here, we can only go to Gu Qing, and change the content of the letter, saying that we are with that guy, and it is easy to get close to Gu Qing with his identity."

"Yes!"

In Chang'an, after the gentry incident, everything returned to calm. There is still a month before the imperial examination. Di Renjie sat in the Dali Temple and received the information from the fat monk. Tang Jian still went to see His Majesty.

"I don't know what happened, but now the palace has recruited many eunuchs."

"Not bad."

"It's a good day, but what kind of eunuch?"

……

Listening to the discussion of the little officials at the side, Di Renjie stepped forward and asked, "Are eunuchs recruited in the palace?"

"Go back to Dali Temple." The official replied, "It is said that more than 300 eunuchs were recruited in the palace today, and they are still recruiting."

"I see, it's getting late, you should go home early." Di Renjie put away his emotions and stood up.

Di Renjie returned home and had dinner with his wife, and then came to Gu's house, watching Gu Qing waving the ropes one by one, "Teacher, what are you doing?"

"Skipping rope, exercising, life lies in exercise." Gu Qing stopped his movements, sat down to rest and said, "Is the work in Dali Temple finished?"

"It can be said that the dust has settled." Di Renjie nodded, "Teacher has made some moves in the palace recently."

"I already know." Gu Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead, "It's not a good sign that Li Chengqian recruited eunuchs wantonly. This kind of thing happened when Tang Jian met Li Chengqian. Do not believe."

"Students think so too." Di Renjie replied, "I'm afraid they will do something."

"Let the monk keep an eye on him, we will dismantle every move he makes, and as for that Tang Jian... let him go for a while." Gu Qing stood up, "Li Chengqian is too eager for success, it can be seen that he is being pushed. "

On the second day, the court meeting.

Gu Qing stood in front of the head of the officials as Prime Minister, watching Li Chengqian sitting in his seat.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The ministers saluted.

"Everyone loves you." Li Chengqian nodded with a smile.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Chu Suiliang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now that Chang'an is prosperous and everywhere is safe and peaceful, please don't expand the recruitment of eunuchs like this."

"Why?" Li Chengqian looked at Chu Suiliang.

Shangguanyi also stepped out of court and said loudly, "Is the calamity caused by the eunuchs' meddling in politics in the past dynasties still small? Could it be that your majesty wants to create a second Zhao Gao?"

Li Chengqian looked at the silent Gu Qing with a sneer, "The eunuch's affairs are my internal affairs, if the eunuchs don't interfere in politics, do you want to interfere in my internal affairs?"

Chu Suiliang stood there not knowing what to say. Now that Li Chengqian had said so, they naturally didn't have much to say, but the anxiety in their hearts was getting bigger and bigger, and they always felt that something was going to happen.

Since Wude, the number of eunuchs in the court has been small, and they are also controlling the development of eunuchs. Both Wude and Zhenguan have done a good job of preventing eunuchs from intervening in politics.

Gu Qing leisurely stood aside and did not take Li Chengqian's gaze into his eyes. .

After leaving court, Chu Suiliang pulled Gu Qing, "Gu Qing, what exactly does His Majesty want to do?"

"How do I know?" Gu Qingman didn't care about talking, "I'm not afraid of how many eunuchs he has, but I'm afraid that eunuchs have power, and it's eunuchs with power that we need to guard against."

Chu Suiliang agreed with Gu Qing very much. The number of eunuchs is not a key point. The key point is whether Li Chengqian will give power to the eunuchs. Powerful eunuchs are what they should guard against.

The affairs of the eunuchs are the internal affairs of the court. You can make an opinion on this kind of internal affairs, and it depends on whether Li Chengqian will listen to it. If he doesn't listen to it, there is nothing he can do.

Back in his Ganlu Palace, Li Chengqian sat down exhaustedly. The situation in the court today was clear. Just like what Tang Jian said, they had to say a few words when they recruited eunuchs. They would stand up no matter whether Gu Qing said something or not. Contradicting himself, if Gu Qing is contradicting himself today, I am afraid that the whole court will contradict himself, and he is still not the emperor in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju, is here." The young eunuch who was waiting outside came.

"Please come in quickly." Li Chengqian stood up.

Tang Jian then walked into the Ganlu Hall, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

"Duke Ju, please get up quickly." Li Chengqian hurried forward.

"I don't know what your Majesty thinks about what the old minister and His Majesty said." He asked.

Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, "I've thought about it, Gu Qing is in charge of the government, I can't expect others to work for me, the only one who can help me is myself."

"That's good." Tang Jian nodded.

"I have always thought about what to do next even if I have recruited so many eunuchs." Li Chengqian asked.

"Why does the Son of Heaven need too many reasons for picking someone up?" Tang Jian said: "I won't say much about the next thing, the old minister. If your Majesty has important matters to call the old minister at any time, the old minister will come all day and night."

"Duke Ju." Li Chengqian continued, "I want to make Duke Ju the Grand Tutor."

"No need, the old minister is already very old." Tang Jian left after finishing speaking.

Looking at the old man's back, Li Chengqian was moved in his heart. The old man didn't help him for fame, he really wanted to help himself, not for power.

"Of course he won't ask Li Chengqian for power, but it's not time for him to ask Li Chengqian for power." Gu Qing said to Li Tai, "This Tang Jian is already very old, and the position he wants is not other. position, but my position!"
