A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"You can pull it down." Niu Jinda whispered from the side, "You don't even count how many times you go to the toilet in a night."

"It's less than your Niu's anyway." Cheng Yaojin retorted immediately.

"Don't argue with such an arrogant and unreasonable person like you." Niu Jinda said to Gu Qing, "You kid still has a long way to go, you have to remember that it's not the past, you are also a family person now, don't act like As reckless as ever."

"Boy understand." Gu Qing nodded.

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was a burst of laughter outside the door, Li Xiaogong came together with Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, "The Gu family has a happy son, in this world, if your Gu family is not prosperous, who will prosper."

"Congratulations." Gu Qing saluted again and again, "What's the matter today? Why did you all arrive in the same way? I always feel that today's evil wind is blowing and I'm afraid it will rain."

"What evil is evil." Li Xiaogong said to Gu Qing, "It's a happy day, who dares to show the old man Xie, the old man demolished the temple gate of his house!"

Gu Qing greeted Fan Jian, "Have a banquet! Today I will not get drunk with you uncles."

"It's a good one not to go home without being drunk!" Cheng Yaojin laughed, "Today I will test your Gu Qing's drinking capacity, and see if your drinking capacity has improved."

The Gu family set up a banquet, and all the guests present were warmly invited, that is, the passing villagers were invited to celebrate together.

Gu Cun, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji sat opposite each other.

"Today is a good day for your disciple, why don't you go and see it?" said the eldest grandson Wuji with gray temples.

Fang Xuanling made tea and said, "How many days have we not had such a good chat,

"Actually, there's nothing to talk about, right?" Changsun Wuji said.

"Look at the current situation." Fang Xuanling said, "Gu Qing, Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi, Xu Jingzong, one chancellor and three secretaries, what do you think?"

"I can't tell." Changsun Wuji said in a low voice, "Although Gu Qing and I have a deep rift, the current court class is almost completely reborn, and I can't see it clearly when I am old, but Gu Qing is still one of the ones left behind. Hidden danger."

"As expected, you can see it too." Fang Xuanling nodded.

Changsun Wuji nodded, "It's too much to say reborn, but now it can only be said to be reborn. If you say reborn, there is still a very important step to go. This step has to be taken by Gu Qing himself. As long as Gu Qing takes this step, the entire court will , and even the officialdom in the world can be truly reborn and a new world can be established."

"Yes." Fang Xuanling agreed with the words of Changsun Wuji, "Gu Qing will take a very heavy step. Only the court that Gu Qing has completely left, the entire court can be regarded as the real new court."

"Gu Qing's ruling ability in the court is too strong." Changsun Wuji said worriedly, "Gu Qing's one hand covering the sky looks very good, and he can give full play to what Gu Qing wants to do, but there are also disadvantages. It appears that Gu Qing's ideas are too important in the court, so important that everyone will follow Gu Qing's ideas, and then Gu Qing will not be a great hero, but a real power minister."

"King Zhuang of Chu asked the entire Zhou Dynasty for the top priority. The first emperor built twelve golden men, and Xiang Yu lifted the tripod. How many people in this world want to win the top of the country, how many people are smashed into sand on this road, and which time is it not blood spilled on the Central Plains? , I don’t want Gu Qing to become the King of Chu Zhuang, let alone Gu Qing become the First Emperor or Xiang Yu.”

"Are you afraid that Gu Qing will usurp the throne?"

Fang Xuanling nodded hesitantly, "Gu Qing is against the royal family from the bottom of his heart, even against all princes, sometimes I can't see through him, but sometimes I feel that I can see through him at a glance. "

"I also feel this way, this kid has hidden many secrets." Changsun Wuji said.

"Whether Gu Qing will usurp the throne is hard to say. I am most assured of this kid's temperament. You and I have both experienced the taste of power. This is the first time Gu Qing has such a large power in his hands. If you let him let go, you will understand that kind of power." Feeling, holding it is easier than letting it go, but it is ten times harder than holding it." Fang Xuanling lowered her tone, "I think if Gu Qing really wants to leave the court, he needs an opportunity, one that can make him stable and It's a legitimate reason to leave the court."

"I always feel that Gu Qing wants to be Shang Yang." Changsun Wuji nodded and said.

"Gu Qing is not Shang Yang, nor will he belong to Shang Yang." Fang Xuanling denied, "Gu Qing's mind has never been his own. He is willing to hand over the whole mess to others and let others do it. He is free. Think about it, what kind of person Gu Qing is, Gu Qing's way of doing things is different from Shang Yang's way of doing things, Gu Qing can't compare with Shang Yang, and Gu Qing can't do Shang Yang either."

Chapter 7 Preparations for the Second Maritime Trade

"After so many years, we have seen through Gu Qing's way of doing things." Fang Xuanling picked up the tea and took a sip, smelling the fragrance, "He is just a common man, a lazy guy who loves money. To him Power stinks, for him family and money are the first, whoever dares to harm Gu Qing's family, even if Gu Qing can't smash the other party's body into ten thousand pieces, he will overturn the whole world and destroy the opponent."

"He is a paranoid person." Changsun Wuji settled down.

"He is indeed a paranoid person." Fang Xuanling did not deny this point, "Often people who have experienced the trough of life will be very paranoid about certain things, and they will stick to certain principles to the end. Let's talk about Gu Qing. If there is any downturn in the year, the only thing is the contradiction between Gu Qing and the royal family, a contradiction that makes Gu Qing helpless."

"So Gu Qing pulled up the system of the three ministers, using the power of ministers to limit the power of the monarch."

"That's right." Fang Xuanling nodded, "To be honest, Gu Qing may have done this out of selfishness, but there are also benefits to doing this. Since ancient times, there have always been foolish and tyrants. We can't guarantee the future of Li Tang Jiangshan How many years can the Li Tang Dynasty last? But with the Sanqing system, even if the king does not go to the court, the Sanqing can still take an overview of the government and govern the world. You find that without Li Chengqian, you have been decadent for a long time. There is almost no court, but things in the court are still in order."

Hearing what Fang Xuanling said here, Changsun Wuji's expression changed, "Based on what you say, Gu Qing's ambition is too great."

"You are a scheming person. We have experienced so many ups and downs. Although I don't know what you are thinking, Mr. Zhao, but the old man is already tired, very tired, very tired. The power of the ministers checks and balances the power of the monarch. Quan can even jeopardize the power of the monarchy, and Gu Qing's move pinched the royal family's throat."

"If it's really like what you said, the royal family is just raised by the people of the world..."

"Stop!" Fang Xuanling interrupted him, "I know what you think, but it's not necessarily what you said. As long as the king is willing to work hard and enter the court, he can influence the government. It's just the existence of the three ministers. Will always put pressure on the king. If the king does not make progress, he will be emptied sooner or later. If the king wants to return the power to himself, he must personally enter the decision of the court. Chaotang."

"Having said so much, you still haven't said the most important point." Changsun Wuji put down his teacup and breathed in the smoke, "The position of Xiangguo! The emperor, Xiangguo, Sanqing, six departments, nine temples and twelve guards, You always talk about Sanqing again, but the existence of Xiangguo cannot be ignored, and it is also a very important point, which cannot be ignored."

"The position of Xiangguo is of course important, so it depends on how Gu Qing leaves." Fang Xuanling said again, "Who will be Xiangguo after Gu Qing leaves, and whether there will be any Xiangguo in the end."

"What do you mean?" Changsun Wuji heard the clue.

"We've all been wandering in the big dye vat of the court for so long, I don't need to say something very clearly."

"Or you understand better than I do. Gu Qing wants to go, how to go? You have already thought about it, but I am still guessing at the current situation. You have already thought that a few steps away, my eldest grandson Wuji is not as good as your Fang Xuan age."

Fang Xuanling smiled dumbly, "You are not inferior to me, it's just that the mood between you and me is different now."

"Mood." Changsun Wuji took another sip of tea.

The Gu family was very lively, the courtyard of the Gu family was full of people at the beginning of the banquet, and with the arrival of Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi and Xu Jingzong, almost everyone who should have arrived had arrived.

"I also want my daughter-in-law to have another one." Cheng Chumo said in a loud voice, "The children are so lively."

"Your daughter-in-law needs to have a good foundation when you have another daughter-in-law." Gu Qing stopped Cheng Chumo's shoulder and said, "It's just that the daughter-in-law suffered a great loss of energy and blood last time. It's not the time to have a second child. Wait until your daughter-in-law is almost in good health. Don't worry. ,do you know?"

"I know, of course I know." Cheng Chumo nodded vigorously.

Seeing Cheng Chumo's dodging eyes, Gu Qing looked at his expression, "You must be ready to ask for it."

"I drank too much at night last month." Cheng Chumo sighed, "Then she didn't come this month, so I called the doctor to have a look. It seemed to be a happy pulse, but the doctor said that as long as you take good care of your body during pregnancy, you should There is no serious problem, my daughter-in-law will recover quickly, as long as the medicine is used properly."

"Speaking of Chumo's daughter-in-law..." Li Tai looked at Cheng Chumo, "Chumo, have you been beaten recently?"

"Are you kidding?" Cheng Chumo put down his wine bowl, "Our Cheng family's husband Gang has always been very upright."

"I understand, I understand." Gu Qing patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder sympathetically.

"What do you know!" Cheng Chumo looked at Gu Qing.

Li Tai also nodded thoughtfully, "I understand too."

"What do you know?" Cheng Chumo turned his head to look, "My wife hasn't been spanked for a long time, look at the wound on my arm, it's an old wound from seven days ago."

Cheng Chumo felt that this fierce wife didn't know whether it was a fateful enemy or a family misfortune. It seemed that if Cheng Chumo wanted to take a concubine, there would be a few more corpses in the deep well, or a few pieces of meat in the pot. Thinking of these, Gu Qing still Hit a shock.

On the other side of the banquet, Gu Qing glanced at a group of laughing old generals of the state, and saw that Li Zhi, Chu Suiliang and Shangguanyi had been chatting for a long time. At this time, Li Zhi could not be disturbed. Li Zhi took over the maritime trade. Let Li Zhi let go of his hands and feet to do it. This is the first time Li Zhi has to do something, which can be regarded as a tempering for him.

Shangguanyi noticed Gu Qing's gaze, bowed slightly to Li Zhi, and then came to Gu Qing, "What do you want Master Gu to say?"
