A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Looking at the writing on the book on the table, Gu Qing covered the book, "Don't be so anxious about the maritime trade, go back to sleep early, don't get sick, it's autumn and the weather is cold."

"Then I'll go back to sleep." Li Zhi dragged his numb legs, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I still have some things to do." Gu Qing said while sitting down and opening the bamboo slips.

Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing strangely for a long time, then left the study and went back to his own room, he woke up and was no longer sleepy, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, the sound of the rain became less and less, it has become a patter, what happened tonight?When I was young, I didn't know that Gu Qing had done so many things, but after thinking about the days in Gu's house, Gu Qing was indeed very mysterious, even though he was mysterious, he also did a lot of things for himself.

Chapter 7 and five

Gu Qing sat in his study room, the surroundings were very quiet for a while, even the sound of rain stopped. Looking at the contents of the letter, the letter was not signed. Like an autobiography.

"My name is Fuzheng, Gu Qing, you must have discovered me..."

It's similar to everything I've inquired about. I learned the art of Dunjia in the family, but I thought I wanted to enter the mausoleum of the first emperor and was caught by the family. He should have been executed, but he was sentenced to escape from the house. This is different from my own. There are differences in understanding, and then I got to know Yuan Tiangang, and from Yuan Tiangang, I met the old man of Shennongjia, and worshiped the old man of Shennongjia as his master. When things came to this point, Gu Qing looked down and found the clue about longevity.

The Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountains, the legend of Qinling Mountains, the secrets of Changbai Mountain, and where is the Penglai fairy island that Xu Fu said, and why Xu Fu never returned.

The whole letter said so much, it seemed like he was talking to himself, and he said so much just to convince himself that there is immortality in this world.

Putting the letter aside in disdain, Gu Qing understood it. Gu Qing stood up and stretched his waist. It turned out that this guy was here to take the lead, in order to make himself believe or make himself feel that he could lead a group of lunatics to find the man who was not at all. The longevity of existence.

The legends about longevity medicines have always been more and more. King Mu of Zhou, Emperor Shihuang, Queen Mother of the West, there are too many legends left behind.

Before he knew it, it was already dawn, Gu Qing opened the door of his house to breathe in the fresh air, it was a long night, too many things happened that night, Li Zhi hurried to the Maritime Trade Department early in the morning just to hurry up To expand this time the upcoming fall to sea.

All the matters were handed over to Li Zhi. Gu Qing was still a little apprehensive. He went to court early, and Li Chengqian also returned to the court. He will not intervene in matters related to maritime trade. Today is the first day of the court meeting after the imperial examination. , There are a lot of young faces above the court. These are the fresh blood recruited by this imperial examination.

Gu Qing looked at the scene in front of him and smiled, the entire court was full of vitality, more and more newcomers would become officials of the court, there would be constant competition, these competitions were the source of vitality for the entire officialdom and the rising power of the officialdom.

The newcomers are standing in the court hall, but the old princes and generals are still not standing here. Since then, the Zhenguan Dynasty has been completely exposed from this moment.

The veteran Lao Guogong left the court with a very quiet attitude. They left the court in a low-key manner and admitted that the new era is coming.

Li Chengqian listened to the courtiers shouting at him, nodded his head, and his eyes fell on Gu Qing, the prime minister standing in front of the hundred officials, and the three ministers behind Gu Qing, Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi, and Xu Jingzong.

Looking at these four people, Li Chengqian also knows that it is almost impossible for him to completely control the court. These days, Gu Qing's three ministers have almost taken over the government. Even if he does not go to court, the entire Tang Dynasty can operate normally. , Starting from his own father, his father occasionally has some prejudices and the courtiers will not object too much, but now it is different, Gu Qing directly pierced the window paper between the monarch and his ministers.

Gu Qing stepped out of the court and said to the courtiers below, "I know that many people here are coming to this place for the first time. This is a place to discuss state affairs, and you have to entrust the governance of the Tang Dynasty to you. You also know that among you There are three or even four or five people in the same position. The competition is cruel. It doesn’t mean that you can sit back and relax if you enter the imperial examination. If others do better than you, you will be eliminated and leave this place. Whoever does it better Anyone can stay."

"Dare to ask Xiangguo, how to judge whether to stay or not!" A young official pretended to be brave and asked as he stepped out of the court.

"That's a good question." Gu Qing nodded, "If you have any questions, you can ask them. Don't be timid. The court is not so unpopular. As for whether you will decide whether to stay or not, it is up to the Sanqing and the Six Departments. Your actions will be recorded by the Six Departments. , Sanqing decided that at the same time there will be Yushitai monitoring."

"The officer understands."

"Any questions?" Gu Qing continued.

"I have a question from the lower officials." Another young official stepped out of the court class and asked, "I entered the court as an official after my classmate took the imperial examination. It doesn't matter that we have different official positions, but the salary is the same."

"Let's talk about this old man." Chu Suiliang replied, "Actually, your question is wrong. You haven't got an official position yet, and the salary you are getting now should be called a subsidy according to the rules set by the court, not a formal one. The salary will last for three months. During these three months, you will start to compete. Reading and being an official are not the same thing. Just because you know how to read does not mean that you will be able to be an official. Don’t be proud of those who are in high positions now, because the position is higher than yours. The low-ranking people will climb up to your position at any time, but don’t worry about the low-ranking ones. You young officials will be dispatched continuously in the past three months, and some of you will even be dispatched to farther places. So during this period, you must effort."

Gu Qing took Chu Suiliang's words and said, "You can choose the position you want, but you must report it to the official department first, and then you can go to the position you want after the official department approves. The trial period is three months and there are three rounds. Take your chances by yourself. There is only one time for a person to choose the position he wants to go to and join another group of competition. I don’t care how good your imperial examination scores are, and I don’t care what your family background is. Who advances and who retreats, it all depends on your own ability. Of course, if you want to let me know who you are privately accepting, no matter who you are, no matter how prominent your family background is, you will be dismissed and will not be hired again."

"Don't think about taking a shortcut. It's a dead end. It doesn't matter if you get eliminated. You can come again next time. After all, you are still young, but the court is not like the outside. If you go the wrong way, you will have no chance to go back. , remember to remember!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Everyone knows what happened at the beginning of this year. How many officials were arrested in Dali Temple, and how many officials were dropped. Money has always opened a door of convenience, but they were all taken down. It seems that the current court can't rub half of the sand, which is also the attitude of the current court.

Shangguanyi now understands that Gu Qing did not arrest people aimlessly back then. There was a reason for Dali Temple to do this. Under the pressure of the court today, it is very likely that such a situation will occur, and some people will want to take shortcuts. What Dali Temple did at the beginning could be a warning. The number of people arrested in the court was almost halved. The six departments, nine temples and twelve guards were almost wiped out, and the entire court was changed.

Chapter 7 and Six

Having said so much, the newly promoted officials here have already understood a general idea of ​​the court rules this time. The following court meeting is a normal process, and they will not go down until noon. Gu Qing followed Shangguanyi's footsteps a few steps, "What have you been up to lately?"

"What else can you be busy with? It's not about the affairs of the court." Shangguanyi looked at Gu Qing, "What do you want from me?"

"It's still the matter of His Royal Highness King Jin, and Haimao is coming soon. Although I have handed over most of the affairs of Haimao to His Royal Highness King Jin, I still feel a little worried."

"I understand." Shangguanyi nodded all the way, "You mean that I have to check on some things for His Royal Highness King Jin, why don't you keep an eye on it yourself."

"I..." Gu Qing looked around, "Because I'm lazy."

"Hmph!" Shangguanyi flicked his sleeves, and suddenly didn't want to talk to Gu Qing anymore.

"Are you going or not?" Gu Qing wanted to ask Shangguanyi further and further away.

"What's wrong with this Shangguan brother." Gu Qing thought about walking all the way, and when he came home, he saw Wu Mei and Gao Yang with their two children spreading out blankets in the yard. Sun Simiao was sitting on the side and was amused by little Gu Xiao. straight smile.

"You're back." Sun Simiao saw Gu Qing, "Your mood is much better today."

"It's really better." Gu Qing also sat down and ate a persimmon, "It's still comfortable at home."

"Aren't you at home every day?" Sun Simiao said unwillingly while holding the child, "It's as if you've been away from home for a long time."

"Master, you don't know something." Gu Qing sniffed, "Sometimes I'm tired. It's been ten years. I feel that I have experienced too much in the past ten years. Some people have passed away, some have disappeared, and some have been killed. I killed."

Sun Simiao also shook his head and sighed, "Yes, you were too young at that time. You experienced so many things at such a young age. How many people have you killed in several wars? Everyone thinks you are tired, you are only 24 years old, like other people have lived a lifetime."

"Sometimes I feel the same way." Gu Qing picked up his son, "Spring goes to autumn, everything grows, eyes shine, and three generations live together!"

"Where did you come from three generations?" Sun Simiao laughed.

"Master is like a father to me." Gu Qing put Sun Simiao's shoulders on his shoulders, "Old man, you have to live a few more years, waiting for you to hug your great-grandson."

"Hehehe." Sun Simiao hugged Gu Xiao and smiled, showing his yellow teeth.

While talking, Gao Yang felt pain in his abdomen and almost couldn't stand up, the amniotic fluid immediately flowed down, the maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly supported Gao Yang who was spreading Gao Yang in the sun, "Princess!"

"Gao Yang!" Gu Qing also hurriedly stood up.

"Boy... the baby is coming out." Gao Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"Master!" Gu Qing said loudly.

"Hurry up and help the princess into the house, she is about to give birth." Sun Simiao said quickly, "Hurry up and prepare hot water!"

"Yes!" The maid at home said nervously.

Gao Yang was helped into the house, Fan Jian hurried to call the midwife, the whole Gu family was in chaos, Li Tai and Li Zhi were the first to receive the news.

"Gao Yang is going to give birth?" Li Tai hurried over, even wearing the wrong shoes.

"En." Gu Qing nodded stiffly, and there were bursts of cries from the delivery room.

"Miss Huang will be fine."

Li Zhi was about to go in as he said that, but was stopped by Xiao Sizi, "Mingda heard from the midwife that men are not allowed to go in when a woman is giving birth, Brother Huang just wait outside."
