A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Gu Qing, when can Tang Jian be released?" Li Chengqian said in a cold voice, "I know that you and Tang Jian have grievances, but Tang Jian was a servant of the father and emperor back then. It's too dead."

"Your Majesty." Gu Qing also said to Li Chengqian, "Don't worry, Tang Jian's life is safe in Dali Temple, but I can't guarantee what will happen to his life after leaving Dali Temple."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyelids jumped, "Gu Qing, what do you mean?"

"Some things will be handed over to His Majesty after Dali Temple finds out." Gu Qing said slowly, "As for Tang Jian's life, Dali Temple and I will keep him, you can rest assured."

"That's good." Li Chengqian left after finishing speaking.

Gu Qing walked back to the dungeon, "Your Majesty has left, don't worry."

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. If His Majesty knew that a group of people lived in the dungeon of Dali Temple, enjoying wine and meat, they didn't know how Li Chengqian's three views would be shattered.

Coming to Tang Jian's cell again, Gu Qing looked at Tang Jian and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I will naturally not kill you. Who is behind you, and you still don't want to say it?"

"I can't tell who he is." Tang Jian shook his head vigorously.

"Come and put on the instrument of torture!" Gu Qing shouted loudly!

"Gu Qing!" Tang Jian stood up frightened, "You still have to beat him up! His Majesty has already come, if the old man has something to do with you, Gu Qing will have nothing to eat."

"Hahahaha." Gu Qing smiled obsequiously, "Are you kidding, am I that kind of person?"

The Tang family: "..."

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back." Gu Qing turned and walked out of the cell and said to the jailer, "These days, everyone in the cell is serving big fish and meat, and I will ask people from my Gu family to send the money. Everyone has money." Wine has meat, as for Tang Jian! He can only drink porridge and steamed buns!"

"Thank you, Lord Hou." The jailer laughed.

Tang Jian's breathing fluctuated.

Just two steps away, Gu Qing turned around and asked Tang Jian, "Really not to say?"

"Don't tell me! I won't tell you even if I starve to death!" Tang Jian stood firm.

Nodding deeply, Gu Qing spoke seriously to the jailer, "You don't need to give the steamed buns, just give him gruel."

"Yes!" The jailer couldn't help nodding.

Just as Gu Qing said, when the meal in the dungeon of Dali Temple is open, everyone is eating big fish and meat, and only Tang Jian is facing a bowl of white porridge alone. Watching others eat happily, Tang Jian swallowed hard, "Deceitful Too much!"

However, many people here entered Dali Temple because of their own reasons. Tang Jian is very isolated here, very isolated.

On May Day in Chang'an, Chang'an was very lively, and there was a lot of people for a while. All the taverns and restaurants were making a lot of money because of the crowds of the imperial examinations this time. "This is the prosperous age."

"It's still far away." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Lord Hou." Xu Jingzong said in a low voice, "Now the Ministry of Finance is making every effort to prepare for the opening of the imperial examination in three days."

Listening to Xu Jingzong's flattering tone, Gu Qing said, "I know, you are lucky! If the imperial examination goes smoothly this time, what benefits do you want?"

"This is what a subordinate official should do, how dare you take advantage of it."

"Tell me, if you need my help with something, I won't be polite if you keep it so secretive."

"Then I'll just say it." Xu Jingzong glanced at Gu Qing's face, "I have a fellow from my hometown, and now it's a small yellow family in the province, and I want him to be an official in Shangshu Province and be a sect. It’s also good to be a former official, and acquaintances are easy to handle.”

"Talk to Yang Shidao, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is currently in the dungeon of Dali Temple, and tell me that I arranged it." Gu Qing said patiently to Xu Jingzong, "You are also the order of the Minister now, and you can establish your own siblings in the court. But don't take it too far."

"I understand." Xu Jingzong left after receiving the words.

Chu Suiliang listened to the conversation between the two, "If you want to say that you, Gu Qing, are extremely powerful in the court, but Xu Jingzong..."

"What's up with him?"

Chu Suiliang looked at Xu Jingzong's back, "This man has won the way of officialdom, and he is very good at judging the situation. Don't think of him as being too loyal, and be careful of breeding tigers."

"That's why I asked you to check and balance each other." Gu Qing saw that there were still a lot of people pouring into Chang'an City, "It's time to release people like Shangguanyi. After the imperial examination, the competition in the court will be fierce. Who among the six departments Whoever has the ability can sit in the top position, there is no longer any sophistication, only ability."

"Is this why you cleared the court?"

"What else can it be for." Gu Qing said leisurely, "Actually, I have always had an idea in my heart, to abolish the position of Xiangguo, and there will be no Xiangguo in the Tang Dynasty after me, and the power of Xiangguo is too great."

6Chapter 16 Conversation between Master and Apprentice ([-])

"It's not that Xiangguo has too much power, it's that you, Gu Qing, have too much power." Chu Suiliang corrected Gu Qing, "In the past dynasties, there are many Xiangguo like Lu Buwei, and you, Gu Qing, are one of them. There has never been a person like you who can monopolize the power and power in the court."

"It feels like you're scolding me."

Chu Suiliang looked outside Chang'an City, "Gu Qing, you have inherited Fang Xuanling's mantle and shouldered the expectations of the old people in the court. You, if you fail these people, you will bear the eternal infamy."

"Old Chu, do you have to make the atmosphere so ecstatic?" Gu Qing relaxed his body and enjoyed the sunshine.

"I found it very difficult to talk to you." Chu Suiliang looked at Gu Qing.

"I just want to clean up the court early, and then let go." Gu Qing smiled, "Don't think too much about me! After all, I'm just a common man who wants to live with his wife and children on the bed. day."

"If you give up the pick, what shall we do?"

Gu Qing smiled contemptuously, "None of my business."

"As expected, you still have such stinky virtues!" Chu Suiliang pointed at Gu Qing and didn't know what to say for a while, "Your son will call you father, so why don't you do more?"

"What does this have to do with my son?"

"I always feel that everyone is improving all these years, but you, Gu Qing, are still the same." Chu Suiliang said, "In your heart, it seems that nothing is as important as your happy life."

In front of Chengtian Gate on Zhuque Avenue, there is an open space here, where the next imperial examination will be held.

The masters in the academy are also very busy these days. While registering the students who are going to take the imperial examination, the elderly masters are still arguing endlessly about the final topic selection!

Li Chunfeng wanted to add a few more arithmetic questions, but Cen Wenwen wanted to add a few more political questions, and the Confucian master brought by Kong Yingda wanted to add a few more questions. On a test paper, there were dozens of questions by category. These questions Students who take part in the imperial examination have to take the exam for at least four hours.

"Confucius, let's add a few more questions." Fang Yizhi said to Kong Yingda, "There is no result in such an argument."

Li Zhi, who was watching the scene, said, "Why don't you divide the exam into papers?"

"Ok?"

Everyone looked sideways at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's face was flushed by these old masters for a while, "Masters, don't be offended, this king just said casually, resign and resign!"

What Li Zhi said is indeed a solution. If there is a separate test for each subject, each subject can have its own test paper. To postpone, even half a month to take the exam, and the time to unveil the list will also be postponed.

"Everyone looked at Li Tai."

"What do you think this king is doing?" Li Tai felt uncomfortable all over.
