A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian clenched his fists tightly.

"Let Gu Qing be the Prime Minister, let Gu Qing cover the sky with one hand, and let Gu Qing hold His Majesty above him, all of which are allowed by him, for nothing, just to keep your position, Your Majesty, and to protect your own children. Rebellion, does your majesty think the royal family can really win? Does your majesty think he is Gu Qing's opponent? The aristocratic family has fallen, which means that the entire Central Plains' power has been severely damaged. The Gu family seems to be the number one family in the Central Plains. What is the relationship, we know it well! Even if Gu Qing does not win, both sides will suffer. Even if the people are dying, who would know what kind of weapon Gu Qing has, which is more powerful than explosives. The army is defeated, does Your Majesty think that the Supreme Emperor is not afraid of Gu Qing?"

"This is a big conspiracy. It's not that the Supreme Emperor doesn't help His Majesty, it's that the Supreme Emperor would rather compromise than let Gu Qing confront the royal family. The world can no longer be chaotic, and the Central Plains people have already shed enough blood." Changsun Wuji He was very excited and coughed non-stop.

"Uncle, pay attention to your health."

Changsun Wuji took a sip of hot tea, "The Supreme Emperor did this only out of the painstaking efforts of a father, I hope His Majesty understands, I hope His Majesty cherishes the opportunity given by the Supreme Emperor, I will say more, Gu Qing's Xiangguo will not last long, one day If you want to leave, the children of the Gu family will not be officials in the court again. Before Gu Qing leaves, His Majesty must be ready to take over the government, this is His Majesty's only chance."

"Opportunity? Gu Qing will leave, when will he leave, ten years? 20 years? Or longer."

"It won't be long." Changsun Wuji smiled meaningfully, "It's time for His Majesty to leave, and I won't see you off."

Chapter 7 Twelve

Li Chengqian stood up hesitantly, and saluted Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, remember that there is never any destiny." Changsun Wuji said again.

Li Chengqian left the eldest grandson's house and already dispersed. He walked into Chengtian Gate alone and walked to Yechi without knowing it. Looking at the stagnant water in the pool, he couldn't feel at ease. His father's painstaking efforts were to protect himself, and he never had any destiny. So, Changsun Wuji's last words kept repeating in his mind, was it destiny for his father to sit in that position?Some are only available to oneself, and have never had any destiny, that is just the emperor's flaunt to himself.

"Your Majesty, the Empress made some snacks and put them in the Ganlu Hall." A court lady came to report to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded and stood up, "Ask someone to fill this Yechi for me, the water is stinky."

"Yes." The maid timidly replied, not daring to disobey.

Gu Village

Gu Qing saw off the guests early in the morning, and the family returned to tranquility. The little son kept circling around Gao Yang's newborn son, "Sister Huang, is it very painful to have a baby?"

"Yeah." Gao Yang said to Xiao Sizi, "It's just a kind of inheritance. If you don't understand it now, you will understand it later."

"Is the inheritance of life right?" Xiao Sizi smiled winkingly.

Gao Yang nodded.

Gu Qing in the front yard listened to Fan Jian's report, Changsun Wuji met Fang Xuanling, and after returning to Chang'an, Changsun Wuji met Li Chengqian again.

"Patriarch, there is an old man asking to see you." A servant of the family came back to report.

"The man said he was an old friend of Marquis Gu, and his surname was Zhao from Guanlong."

"The surname is Zhao, from Guanlong." Gu Qing suddenly understood who it was with a sudden smile, walked out of the front yard and watched the two nodding and sizing each other up, "Master Zhao, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Second Young Master Zhao also said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Gu Qing, to be the Prime Minister now."

Gu Qing cupped his hands to edit, "Come in and talk?"

"it is good!"

The young servant who was beside Young Master Zhao saluted Gu Qing, "I have seen Xiangguo but I don't know Xiangguo, but I still remember that when Xiangguo sent troops to Guanlong, I persuaded Xiangguo."

Gu Qing slapped his forehead and then remembered, "You are Jia Zhengjing, I remember you, you said a lot of good things for your Second Young Master Zhao in Chang'an."

"Three years have passed since Mangshan's farewell." Second Young Master Zhao said, "I'm still unknown. I didn't expect that the little Gu Houye back then is now the Xiangguo who covers the sky with one hand in Chang'an."

Gu Qing invited the Second Young Master Zhao to sit down, "What have you been doing lately?"

"Let's take a look around." Zhao Ergong said again, "I also met Tang Xuanzang in Luoyang. I heard Tang Xuanzang talk about Xiangguo, and I also want to come to meet Xiangguo."

"Is Tang Xuanzang alright?"

"Very good." Second Young Master Zhao nodded.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I've thought about it a lot, but I've rejected it all myself." The second son of Zhao sighed, "I want to make some achievements, but I'm afraid that my identity will not tolerate me in the court. It's the past."

"There is something suitable for you to do." Gu Qing said awe-inspiringly, "North Korea and China have just established the Maritime Trade Department, which is not under the jurisdiction of North Korea and China, but under the supervision of North Korea and China. You might as well try it."

"Is it the Maritime Trade Department presided over by His Royal Highness Prince Jin?" Second Young Master Zhao hesitated, "Is this appropriate?"

"Don't you just want to find something to do, just now His Royal Highness is short of people under his command." Gu Qing changed his sitting position, "If you think about it, just say that I introduced you. His Royal Highness Jin is now in the Maritime Trade Department .”

"Haimao." The Second Young Master Zhao was still hesitating.

"Now is the time for employing people, and it is a very good opportunity." Gu Qing looked at him.

"I see, thank you Xiangguo for your advice and let me go." Second Young Master Zhao said.

"Walk slowly."

Seeing off the second son of the Zhao family, Gu Qing hummed a ditty in a happy mood. Back then when he met the second son of the Zhao family in Guanlong, the second son of the Zhao family, Zhao Rui, had a pretty good impression. .

Looking at Fan Jian at the side, Gu Qing said, "What do you think about letting Zhao Rui contact His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Fan Jian thought for a long time, "The villain really doesn't understand the meaning of the Patriarch's move."

"Tell me what you think." Gu Qing spoke again.

"After the downfall of the Guanlong clan, the old nobles of Guanlong's lineage have now lived in seclusion and dare not show their heads." Fan Jian said, "Why did Zhao Rui attach himself to His Royal Highness King Jin at this time? Is it necessary for him? According to Zhao Rui's identity, His Royal Highness King Jin may not accept him."

"The direction of thinking is right, but it's still too shallow."

"The villain doesn't understand."

Gu Qing smiled and said nothing.

The Japanese monk has left the secret room. After many years, he can finally see the light of day again. He shaved his beard and hair again. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he is so old without knowing it. Wa country, how do you face the homeland you haven't seen for many years, Gu Qing, you are so cruel, this test has been going on for so many years, watching the powerlessness and grief in my heart surge in the bronze mirror, sobbing silently for a long time.

To calm down his emotions, the Japanese monk said loudly with red eyes, "Come here."

"What are your orders?" The clerk from the restaurant walked into the guest room.

Apart from the usual customers in the entire restaurant, from the shopkeeper down to the servants who greet customers here are all Gu Qing's eyeliner.

"I want to eat." The Japanese monk said, "I want to eat meat!"

"Hold on."

In less than half an hour, the servant brought a lot of wine and meat, "use it slowly."

While weeping, the Japanese monk ate hard, stuffed something into his mouth until he couldn't eat any more, then drank a few more sips of wine, and fell asleep.

Woke up again and picked up a piece of meat and started biting it. I can’t go back to the Japanese country with this face. I want to get fat, and I want to return to the Japanese country with a radiant face.

That afternoon, Li Zhi hurried over, "Gu Qing, what do you mean!"
