A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Gu Qing." Li Zhi said while drinking soy milk.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing also looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi lowered his head again and sighed, "It's nothing."

"It is said that His Highness Prince Jin was very busy yesterday." Gu Qing said, "His Royal Highness went to Cheng Mansion and Daming Palace. It was really fulfilling."

"Nothing can escape your eyes." Li Zhi whispered.

"The Cheng family's wine is not good, but it's not the way you drink it." Gu Qing stood up after breakfast, "His Royal Highness, eat slowly, there are plenty here."

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he left. Li Zhi ate two steamed buns, but he was not in the mood to eat them. He thought about how to seize the power of Haimao. By acquiescing to his own approach, the Cheng family's wine is not good, and that's not how they drink it?What does it mean?

Of course, I can't hide the matter of going to Cheng's mansion by myself from Gu Qing, what kind of friendship Cheng Chumo and Cheng Yaojin have with Gu Qing, Gu Qing will definitely know about this.

Wu Mei took the servants of her family to clean up the courtyard, and when she saw Gu Qing came to greet her, she asked, "Is His Royal Highness King Jin okay?"

"It's okay, I didn't expect this kid to find Cheng Yaojin by himself." Gu Qing also picked up the broom to sweep the floor, "Cheng Yaojin is not so easy to deal with, this kid will continue to touch his nose."

"Old General Cheng should sell His Royal Highness Jin's face." Wu Mei also said, "After all, His Royal Highness Jin is also His Majesty's most beloved prince."

Gu Qing whispered, "That's right, but Cheng Yaojin is a tough guy to deal with. If you don't follow his appetite, this old guy won't let you in. Don't look at Cheng Yaojin's surface. Xixixiaoxiao is also a little confused when doing things, he knows in his heart that Li Zhi's status as a prince will cause him a lot of trouble."

"En." Wu Mei nodded slightly, "There is always an inexplicable wall between the powerful and the prince."

Gao Yang listened to the conversation between Gu Qing and Wu Mei, and after Gu Qing left, Gao Yang came to Wu Mei's side, "Won't Gu Qing give advice to the young slave?"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "If His Royal Highness Jin wants to grow, His Royal Highness Jin must sharpen it himself. If a bird wants to fly, if it is always under the mother's wings, then its wings will never be strong. Many birds leave Parents never fly back to their original home, and many parents don’t go looking for their birds.”

"You mean that the future child slaves will have differences with Gu Qing?"

"I don't know." Wu Mei said again: "For so many years, my husband has more or less given His Royal Highness Prince Jin a lot of advice, but unlike Di Renjie, my husband never interferes with His Highness Jin's way of thinking. Your Highness can seize the sea trade but not your husband's port, so no one can say what will happen in the future."

"I see." Gao Yang nodded.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Wu Mei supported Gao Yang.

"It's pretty good, but the baby in the belly will move a few times when it's cold." Gao Yang smiled, "Actually, I'm worried about whether there will be any accidents when the baby is born, and whether Gu Qing will treat his baby well."

"Your son will inherit the academy, and my two sons will inherit the Gu family's business. Gu Qing has taken care of everything, so you don't have to worry." Wu Mei said while holding Gao Yang's hand.

"Actually, I was jealous of you a long time ago, don't you blame me?" Gao Yang looked at Wu Mei.

"Everyone is stubborn, but our women's stubbornness is very simple." Wu Mei said to her slowly, "After so many years, some things have become indifferent, and I am no longer a child."

"Yeah." Gao Yang also nodded, "Yeah, it's been so many years, the Gu family is very nice, I like this place very much! The life here is very simple and comfortable, the whole family is just like Gu Qing, living such a lazy life I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. In the past, I lived in the harem with my mother, and I often saw a few cold corpses of court ladies. The palace was extremely cold, so cold that it was biting. The complexities and elusiveness of their faces are always different under their smiling faces."

"People's hearts are complicated, and sometimes it's not good to have too many people." Wu Mei said.

Gao Yang nodded, "Sometimes the royal father doesn't want to, and now only the queen mother is left by the royal father's side. Most of the time it is to maintain the relationship between the royal family and the major noble families. It is a last resort, and feelings have become imperial power. The part of her is very deformed and disgusts me very much, I have lost my temper several times, but every time I see the eyes of the queen mother, I know that the queen mother is also helpless."

"Okay, don't think about the past, everything is fine now, isn't it?" Wu Mei persuaded Gao Yang.

"En." Gao Yang also nodded.

Li Zhi was not in the mood to sleep, and came to the academy again while it was still early, and he was not in the mood to attend lectures.

"Is there something on your mind?" Li Tai came to Li Zhi and said, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Li Zhi nodded silently.

"Tell Brother Huang, what kind of trouble are you in?" Li Tai whispered.

"It's okay, I can do it myself." Li Zhi got up and left the academy, came to Chang'an again, walked on Zhuque Street, and arrived at the gate of Cheng's residence.

"Your Highness King Jin, the Young Patriarch has been waiting for a long time." Seeing Li Zhi, the concierge greeted him proactively, "Your Highness King Jin, please."

"Brother Chumo is waiting for me?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"Please." The concierge led Li Zhi all the way into the backyard, Cheng Chumo was sweating profusely with an axe, "Young Patriarch, His Royal Highness King Jin has arrived."

"Come on." Cheng Chumo threw the ax casually and looked at Li Zhi, "His Royal Highness, I was negligent yesterday, and I hope His Highness Jin will not be offended."

Chapter 679 Gu Qing's Arrangement

"Brother Chu Mo, please don't do this." Li Zhi waved his hands again and again, "I want to drink it myself. This has nothing to do with Brother Chu Mo and General Cheng. It's because I don't know how much I can drink. .”

"It's all the old guy's fault." Cheng Chumo didn't mind throwing the blame on Cheng Yaojin.

"How did Big Brother Chumo know that I'm coming?"

"Gu Qing brought someone here to spread the word, and he said that His Royal Highness King Jin will definitely come again." Cheng Chumo said: "I have to say that Gu Qing has a clear understanding of His Royal Highness Jin's character, and even the next move of His Highness King Jin I know it clearly."

Li Zhi smiled wryly, "If you want to say that the person who knows me best, besides Gu Qing, is my father."

Cheng Chumo drank water and walked all the way, "His Royal Highness Jin, please sit inside, I have something I want to talk to His Royal Highness Jin."

Li Zhi walked into Cheng Chumo's courtyard, where there were three big dogs barking at him vigorously, Cheng Chumo glared at the three big dogs and immediately stopped them obediently, wagging their tails.

After taking his seat, Cheng Chumo said, "It's not impossible for His Royal Highness King Jin to take over Haimao, but the old man at home doesn't know how capable His Royal Highness Jin Wang is. Now Haimao is controlled by Gu Qing, and Yan Liben is strategizing at the port. Everything is going smoothly. The old man It means that I am afraid that Haimao will go wrong in the hands of His Royal Highness King Jin."

"I understand. Old General Cheng's worries are understandable." Li Zhi nodded.

"Since His Royal Highness Jinwang wants to take over Haimao Jinwang, he needs to reassure those old guys." Cheng Chumo continued, "The fastest way is to find a helper, and there is..."

Speaking of this, Cheng's silent voice was interrupted.

"What else?" Li Zhizheng listened intently.

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment." Cheng Chumo took out a note, glanced at it, and then said, "The other thing is to personally understand the trade methods in various parts of Chang'an, and the various accounts of trade with Chang'an. Same, and then..."

Cheng Chumo's words stopped again.

"What else?" Li Zhi continued to ask.

"Wait a minute!" Cheng Chumo took out the note again and read it out directly this time, "The other thing is to give more promises to the veterans. Today's sea trade benefits vary. Each family eats differently. The benefits need to be reviewed. That's the hardest bit of division, and it's the one that needs to be dealt with the most and has the most headaches."

Li Zhi watched Cheng Chumo read the note from the script and immediately understood, "Brother Chumo, don't read it, just give it to me."

"That's good!" Cheng Chumo handed the note to Li Zhi, "Gu Qing really can't understand the handwriting, and he insists on telling His Highness Jin Wang to listen to it on his back. For what, tossing around."

Li Zhi smiled wryly and watched for a long time, with the above and a direction for himself to work hard, it seems that Gu Qing didn't ignore himself, but everything was arranged, with a smile on his face and a warm heart in his heart.

"His Royal Highness, don't say that I gave you all the notes." Cheng Chumo added, "It's all done by Gu Qing himself. If this matter is revealed, I'm afraid Gu Qing will come to blame me."

"I understand." Li Zhi put away the note, "Thank you, Brother Chumo."

"Don't thank me either." Cheng Chumo said, "In fact, as long as His Royal Highness Jin has a thought, Gu Qing will help His Highness arrange everything, the last marriage is the same, and this time the sea trade is also the same. Gu Qing is the one to thank, don't waste Gu Qing's painstaking efforts, His Royal Highness King Jin will do a good job."
