A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"En!" Li Zhi nodded.

"Hahahaha!" Cheng Chumo laughed heartily, "Now that the words have been delivered and the words are finished, the next thing is to get down to business!"

"What's the matter?"

"Yes! It's business!" Cheng Chumo waved his hand to the family, "Come and serve wine! Tonight, His Royal Highness King Jin will not come home until he is drunk."

"Xiao Wang still has important things to do, and it's getting late."

Li Zhi was about to get up as he said that, Cheng Chumo pressed Li Zhi down with a giant spirit palm, "What is His Royal Highness Jin Wang doing in such a hurry, he said as if I can't drink strong wine from the Cheng family, don't worry, there is no need to worry too much today Use a small bowl for the bowl."

Cheng Chumo put another bowl in front of Li Zhi.

"Brother Chu Mo." Li Zhi looked at the bowl that was about the size of his own face, and was speechless for a while, "Brother Chu Mo, do you call this a small bowl?"

"This is the smallest bowl in my Cheng family."

After taking a few sips of strong wine, Li Zhi began to feel a little dizzy. This time he didn't take a sip, and he still feels uncomfortable when he was drunk last time.

Cheng Chumo ate the chicken legs and said, "How can a man do without alcohol, drink a few more times, and when he gets drunk, his alcohol capacity will improve."

Li Zhi passed out again to the Cheng family, and was drowsy until the next day. When Li Zhi returned home, he saw Gu Qing eating breakfast again, "I'm back."

"Going to Cheng Mansion again?" Gu Qing said calmly to Li Zhi while looking at the new magazine published by the academy.

"En." Li Zhi nodded slightly.

Gu Qing glanced at Li Zhi and went on to eat breakfast calmly, then glanced at Li Zhi, "Why is His Royal Highness Prince Jin blushing?"

"Is there?" Li Zhi avoided Gu Qing's gaze, "Maybe it's because yesterday's alcohol has not gone down."

"Alcohol can't be forced to drink. If you don't hold enough alcohol, drink less." Gu Qingyu spoke earnestly.

"I see." After Li Zhi finished speaking, he took two fried dough sticks and returned to his room.

"Why does this kid seem to be avoiding me?" Gu Qing said to himself.

"Maybe His Royal Highness King Jin has a bad appetite today." Fan Jian also said aside.

"Yeah!" Gu Qing put down the magazine in his hand, "How is Chang'an doing recently, is the result of this imperial examination ready to be listed?"

"Probably not so fast." Fan Jian said from the side, "The results of the various state capitals are still being sent to Chang'an. Only when the results of all places arrive, can the court prepare to publish the list."

"That's right." Gu Qing bit off a bite of fried dough stick and nodded.

Li Zhi went back to his room, took out the note again and looked at it, seeing that the above words clearly explained how to deal with the maritime trade affairs, recalling that he was still scolding Gu Qing at the beginning, he felt very guilty in his heart, Gu Qing had already I have already planned everything for myself, but I still blamed Gu Qing in this way. He repayed his grievances with virtue.

"Brother Huang!" Xiao Sizi came in small steps, "Brother Huang has tea eggs here."

"Tea eggs?" Li Zhi saw that there were no tea eggs on today's dinner table.

"Brother Wei Huang, he said it was too much to eat, so he took a lot." The little boy squinted and smiled, "Mingda also sent it to Brother Gu Qing and Sister Wu Mei, and Sister Huang It is not suitable for pregnant women to eat tea eggs."

6 Chapter Eighty

"Has the emperor been here?" Li Zhi asked back.

"No." Xiao Si replied, "Ming Da helped Miracle Doctor Sun to collect herbs by the river today, and saw Brother Huang cooking tea eggs by the river, and he said it was too much, so Ming Da brought some back. .”

"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded.

Xiaosi was in a good mood today, Li Zhi looked at his younger sister and found that Xiaosi's dress looked like it was newly made.

After eating breakfast and having nothing to do, Gu Qing heard the conversation between Xiao Sizi and Li Zhi, carried the fishing rod on his back and walked towards the small river. From a distance, he could see Li Tai and Fang Yi sitting by the river, You can smell the aroma of barbecue here.

"What's delicious?" Gu Qing approached and asked.

"Aren't you going to the court today?" Li Tai looked at Gu Qing suspiciously, "You are also the prime minister now, can you show yourself a little bit?"

"I'm just such a bad character, I can't change it, things are very stable in the court, and I'm watching the wind and the grass." Gu Qing looked at the barbecue and took out a tea egg from the pot, "Fatty, your craftsmanship It just keeps getting better."

"Is there?" Li Tai disagreed.

"Yeah." Gu Qing ate the tea eggs, "The taste is very good.",

"Speak as if you have never eaten." Li Tai looked at the fishing rod that Gu Qing was carrying, "Are you here to fish or to eat?"

"Fishing, fishing." Gu Qing threw the fish on the hook and the fishing line into the river, and sat in the middle of the two of them, "Brother Fang, are the members of the Yan family honest when they enter the academy?"

"He is very well-behaved." Fang Yizhi said calmly.

Cheng Chumo came on horseback, "As soon as I found out that you were not in the academy, I knew you were here."

"Come, come!" Gu Qing recruited and said, "It happens that our King Wei cooked something delicious."

"That's just right!" Cheng Chu laughed silently and took out the wine bag, "I happened to bring good wine at home."

After Cheng Chumo sat down, he threw away Li Tai's grape wine and poured spirits for the three of them, "I don't know what's wrong with those old guys in Chang'an recently? Since they didn't go to court, they will gather around Chang'an early in the morning tomorrow." Run, and bring His Majesty with you."

"Really or not." Gu Qing looked at the fishing line that was motionless.

"It's not because of you." Cheng Chumo said: "After you showed your body to His Majesty, you started running from time to time, but I have to say that after using your method, the old man woke up less at night and ate less. Lightened up."

"Life lies in movement." Gu Qing took a special look at Li Tai.

"Hehe." Li Tai smiled and turned his head to avoid Gu Qing's gaze, and looked at Cheng Chumo, "What are you doing at the mansion recently, young slave?"

"Why does His Royal Highness the King of Wei know about it?" Cheng Chumo explained, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin wanted to take over the maritime trade affairs, and then Gu Qing and I set up a situation. Now that kid of the King of Jin is probably thinking hard, looking for a clue."

"Young slaves take over Haimao?" Li Tai said hesitantly, "Gu Qing, is it too early? Haimao is only going back and forth now."

"He's not going out to sea." Gu Qing whispered, "Don't worry, there won't be any troubles with my backing, and besides, I'm the one who ordered the manpower of Haimao. If anything happens, I will Will know immediately."

Li Tai put his hand on Gu Qing's shoulder, "I thank you, thank you for everything you have done for the child."

"Everything should be done." Gu Qing clinked glasses with Li Tai.

"Gu Qing, you don't know how useful your actions are." Li Tai said in a low voice, "The child is 15 years old and is about to become an adult. This is the case as a child of the royal family. Will Li Chengqian let the child leave? Going to the fief in Chang’an? That’s how I was back then. All the courtiers under Li Chengqian hoped that I could go to my fief. I was under a lot of pressure at that time. Kuo Dizhi was an opportunity for me to stay. I have a reason not to leave Chang'an, because my father values ​​the academy very much, and I don't want to affect the academy because of my departure."

"Actually, as a prince, everyone hopes to stay in Chang'an forever, by the side of his mother and father." Li Tai spoke slowly, "I know what kind of person Li Chengqian is. My son, if Li Chengqian abdicates the succession to the throne, we are likely to be able to inherit the throne, this is also Li Chengqian's threat, whether we have the intention or not, he will think so."

Gu Qing nodded, "Don't worry, Maritime Trade will be a very long-term income. As long as His Royal Highness Jin Wang has a complete grasp of Maritime Trade, the court will not dare to do anything to His Royal Highness Jin Wang."

"Perhaps, I hope you can stay as a minister for a while longer." Li Tai said again, "If you, Gu Qing, are no longer a minister, the situation in the court will definitely be turbulent, and Li Chengqian will not let you go. Chance, when will you leave the court?"

"It's hard to say, maybe I can't live without it for the rest of my life." Gu Qing sighed, "There are a lot of things to do, until His Royal Highness Prince Jin completely stabilizes Haimao, Gao Yang's children take over the academy, or wait until the University Tang Bianjiang has no foreign enemies, and I can't say when I will leave."

"If you want to leave the court, you need an opportunity." Fang Yi said straightly.
