A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

He then asked Yan Liben, "I remember that Master Yan was Minister of the Ministry of Industry before, and he supervised the construction of the Daming Palace. Now the people in the court seem to have forgotten Master Yan, and now that the new emperor is on the throne, it is very unfavorable for Master Yan. "

"I understand what you mean. Even if people in the court have forgotten us, there must be someone who always knows what we are doing."

Knowing who Yan Liben was talking about, he went on to say, "We've been here for so long, Gu Houye hasn't come to ask questions for a long time."

"Homesick?" Yan Liben asked with a smile.

"I'm homesick." The student nodded undeniably, "It's been two years since I left home before I knew it."

"I received a letter from Chang'an yesterday." Yan Liben said, "The leader of the team is Xue Ji, who is a close friend of His Royal Highness King Jin of the Xinjian Maritime Trade Department. Arranging, waiting, when you return to Chang'an and get the money, you can lead your family to live a good life."

"Well, a good day." The student looked forward to it, "I don't have much wish, I just want my relatives at home to live a better life. My family lives in a small village outside Chang'an. At that time, I was in the academy. Studying, I went home several times to visit my parents, I wanted to live at home and study in the academy, but my parents kicked me out many times when I went back."

"Did your parents treat you badly?"

"My parents are very kind to me. I also have an older brother who left me the best things in everyone's family since I was a child. If I was bullied, my older brother would fight desperately with others. The family is desolate but very warm. I have moved to my dormitory, but I want to live at home, in fact, my home is only half an hour away from the academy, so I can definitely live at home."

"But my parents still don't want me to live at home so that I can study better. They say they don't want me to only farm like my parents. My parents have planted the land all my life. Let me go to study. Only when I can read and write can I be an official." Speaking of this, he smiled wryly, "I thought so at first, but when I arrived at the academy, I realized that you can be an official without being able to read and write. Being an official is much more difficult than being able to read and write."

Looking at this fourteen-year-old child who was unexpectedly mature, Yan Liben said patiently, "There will be such a day, and your family will have a better life. You don't seem like a person who can be an official."

After hearing this, the student wondered, "Then what kind of person can be an official?"

"Like him." Yan Liben raised his chin and looked at Wu Laoqi who was busy on the side, "Look at Wu Laoqi, he is a very smart person, he knows how to deal with people very well, this kind of person will Live like a fish in water, just like Xu Jingzong, but he can't be a high official, because he knows how to behave but can't do things, and he can't enter the court, because he provoked people who shouldn't be provoked."

"Who?"

Yan Liben said with a smile, "Even Gu Qing, who is so powerful and famous in the court, I don't know how he offended Gu Qing. When I first took over here, Gu Qing and I told him that he had a relationship with Gu Qing. Holiday."

"What's the holiday, he asked."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. That's a matter for those in power." Yan Liben whispered to him, "If you are not at that level, don't ask about things at that level. Even if it is Wu Laoqi, you have to leave him. A little farther away, this person has a gangster spirit, and the origin is unclear."

"I understand."

After the student heard this and left, Yan Liben stood in place and looked at Wu Laoqi. He had never understood why Gu Qing would arrange Wu Laoqi to come here. There are many things that others can do, but Gu Qing just told himself that he could use him. , don't reuse it, which means beware of him.

"Master Yan!" Several civilian husbands ran up and said, "The new sea-going ship is very good, and the speed is faster."

"How many times have you tried?" Yan Liben asked.

"three times."

"Try a few more times. This time the sea boats are small. This kind of sea boats are used to clear the way for the big ships behind. They are brisk, but they are easily affected by the wind and waves." Yan Liben instructed, "You guys steer the boat. Go a little farther, take a turn around the sea, sail for three days, and if there is still no problem, you can come back and furl the sails.”

"Yes!"

Wu Laoqi was directing a few cooks to do things, his mind was not on the scene in front of him at all, but he was paying attention to Yan Liben who was observing him. He had several compasses in his arms. Hidden, these days I also know the importance of this thing to HNA.

Fortunately, Yan Liben didn't care about it. On the surface, Yan Liben pretended nothing happened. Seeing Yan Liben observing himself like this, Wu Laoqi was still very nervous. It has been so long since Wa Kingdom came back, could Yan Liben have discovered it?Or was he just being wary of himself as usual.

Chapter 741 Contradictory Li Zhi

Gu family

After Gu Qing had dinner, he saw that Li Zhi's expression was not right, and he kept following him without saying a word.

"His Royal Highness, just speak up if you have anything to say." Gu Qing stopped impatiently, "If you want to take a walk with me, don't walk behind me. His Royal Highness Jin is like this, which makes me very uneasy."

"There is something I want to talk to you about." Li Zhi said, "You handed over the Maritime Trade Department to me. In fact, I should do it myself, and I shouldn't cause trouble for you. But after thinking about it for a long time, I should say it."

"Since when did His Royal Highness Jin become so polite?" Gu Qing asked suspiciously.

"Gu Qing, you're making it sound like I'm usually very reasonable?" Li Zhi said.

"Your Highness King Jin is too polite." Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi with a smile, "Tell me, what makes His Highness King Jin so hard to say."

Li Zhi hesitated for a while and said, "You have always been the one who pays the wages of the folks at the port. You are responsible for what they do, and you pay them. Now I want to take over these things myself, and the Maritime Trade Department will do it for you." They pay wages, the Department of Maritime Trade assigns them characters, and the Department of Maritime Trade directly orders them."

Gu Qing laughed teasingly, "I thought it was a big deal."

Li Zhi let out a long breath, "You agreed?"

"Why should I agree? What if I don't agree?" Gu Qing said with a smile and walked on.

Li Zhi stepped forward and asked, "Are you agreeing or not?"

Gu Qing leisurely spread his food and did not respond. Seeing Li Tai who was also taking a walk, "Fatty, what did you eat tonight?"

"Fish soup and roast chicken." Li Tai said with some insatiable desire, "It's still not as good as your beggar's chicken."

"Hahaha." Gu Qing said with a smile, "That's not true, ordinary people can't taste like me."

"Let's go together?" Li Tai said.

"Then let's walk together."

After taking two steps, Li Tai asked, "How do you say that the Beggar Chicken makes the chicken melt in your mouth? Why does the chicken I make taste so bad?"

"One hundred guan!" Gu Qing quoted directly.

Li Tai jumped up and said, "We two are still talking about money by ourselves? You really lost money."

"That's an exclusive secret recipe!"

"If you don't talk about me, I will eat and drink at your house every day, and I will make you poor!"

Gu Qing smiled coldly, "I can't hold you to death."

"Hahaha, if this king dies in your house, your Gu Qing's dog's life will also be in jeopardy!"

"Well, you fat man, you actually have such vicious intentions!"

Seeing Gu Qing chatting and laughing with his imperial brother, Li Zhi was at a loss as to what to do. The matter was not as Shangguanyi said. Gu Qing would be happy to agree with his own ideas. What is Gu Qing's ambiguous attitude? mean?

Even if you say no, you say yes?

Li Zhi, who was walking back, saw Di Renjie who had just returned from Chang'an.

"Are you back so late?"

"I have encountered a lot of troubles, and they are all trivial matters. I hope Dali Temple will submit them." Di Renjie said with a tired expression, "His Royal Highness King Jin seems to be in a bad mood."

"It's not Gu Qing's trouble." Li Zhi kicked away the stones at his feet, "Gu Qing always said half of what he said and kept the other half."

"There must be some kind of problem, and then Gu Qing's enlightenment always said to keep half and half."

Li Zhi told Di Renjie what happened just now.
