A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Li Tai looked at Gu Qing and said, "If it were someone else, I would definitely not let him be Li Xiang's teacher."

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing glanced at the messy books on Li Tai's desk and said.

"I don't want Li Xiang to be used by others, but you are different, Gu Qing. I know what kind of person you are. I can see your aversion to power over the years." Li Tai lowered his voice, "Gu Qing , no matter what happens in the future, don't use Li Xiang, okay?"

"You're talking as if he can definitely sit on the throne." Gu Qing said with a wry smile.

"As long as Li Xiang is sensible, with you around, I think he is very close to the throne." Li Tai said.

"I don't have such a great ability." Gu Qing said: "Besides you, I have to meet someone else. Let him know about this. Who told you that you are all Li Xiang's relatives."

"Dear one?" Li Tai nodded with a smile.

Gu Qing left the academy and came all the way to Li Er's residence. Li Junxian looked at Gu Qing and said, "Why are you here again?"

"Yes, I'm here again." Gu Qing said to Li Junxian with a smile.

"How about my marriage?" Li Junxian asked in a low voice.

"It's hard work, I'm going to visit my father-in-law." Gu Qing said.

Walking into Li Er's residence, Wang Qin saw Gu Qing and said, "Your Majesty is resting."

"My father-in-law, I'm here to see you." Gu Qing pushed the door open and entered.

It was too late for Wang Qin to stop him, Li Eryou woke up and looked at Gu Qing with some annoyance: "What's the matter?"

"About your grandson, I think it is necessary to tell you about some things." Gu Qing looked at the decoration of Li Er's room and said, looking at the mirror on the side.

This mirror is very small, only the size of a palm, and it is the only mirror like this in Datang. Nowadays, people in Datang use bronze mirrors.

Seeing that Gu Qing was also looking at this mirror, Li Er said, "This is the mirror you gave to Guanyin's maid."

"I know, this mirror may be the only one in this world." Gu Qing said in a low voice.

"Really? Don't you have the Gu family?" Li Er asked doubtfully.

"Well, neither do I. I only have one piece." Gu Qing withdrew his eyes and said, "There is one thing I want to tell you."

"Tell me." Li Er got up from the bed and put on his clothes.

Gu Qing sat down and said: "Your grandson, Li Xiang told me last night that he wants to be the emperor. Is this what you think, old man? Do you also want him to be the emperor?"

"I did think so, it would be best for Li Xiang's eldest son to inherit the lineage." Li Er nodded and said.

"Actually, I don't want my disciple to become an emperor." Gu Qing said.

Li Er said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, and I also know that you don't like power very much. You are worried that your disciple will become the emperor in the future and you have inextricable relationships with the court. You have spent all these years thinking about it. If you want to escape from the court, you will be done with great difficulty. If you are the emperor teacher, maybe Li Xiang will be more and more inseparable from you in the future, this is what you have been worried about all along."

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded.

"Li Xiang is just a child." Li Er continued.

"Just because he is a child, if he doesn't become the emperor, I can let him have a comfortable childhood. The few years since a child is ten years old are very important to him." Gu Qing said.

Li Er picked up the mirror beside him and said, "Gu Qing, do you know what I was thinking when I saw this mirror for the first time?"

"Are you wondering how there is a clean mirror in this world?"

"No, if I think about it again, if my son took out this mirror, I might be even happier." Li Er said in a low voice: "Gu Qing, I watched you grow up and never asked you anything. I hope you can help Li Xiang."

Gu Qing calmed down, and Li Er put down the mirror again, "You and I both know very well the influence of an emperor on a dynasty, and you know in your heart what will happen to the world if the ruler is a foolish king. At the beginning, I thought that I wanted Li Xiang to become the king after Li Chengqian. To become an emperor, you have to learn a lot and know a lot. Li Xiang needs someone to guide him and show him the way, but just because Li Xiang is still A child, I don't feel at ease handing it over to others, I can only choose you, and I can only trust you."

"There are many people in the court who are more suitable than me." Gu Qing said.

"There is one thing that no one can replace you." Li Er looked at Gu Qing and said, "You give me a feeling that you seem to be ahead of others in everything, just like those chess games that are sure to win. You can always find a win-win situation, you can always find the right path."

Chapter 110 Li Chengqian Arrives

"Except for you, no one has ever given me such a feeling. I have indeed checked your background, and I have been curious. For a while, I even felt that you came to Datang with ulterior motives. If someone like you wants to turn against , is there anyone who can stop you." Li Er said.

"I also know that you checked me, and you checked me for many, many years." Gu Qing looked at Wang Qin who was on the side.

Li Er nodded, "You and I both know it well, I won't say more about some things, I hope you can teach Li Xiang well, I hope you can let him sit on the throne."

"Then I have no choice?" Gu Qing confronted Li Er.

"You have a choice." Li Er said and bowed his head here, "I'm old, if one day I have to leave, I will make a decree and Chengqian will make another decree, if Li Xiang is unworthy in the future, you Gu Qing can replace him! I will tell all the dignitaries in Chang'an about this decree."

"This burden is too heavy for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it." Gu Qing shook his head.

Li Er patted Gu Qing on the shoulder, "Aren't your shoulders very straight? I can count the number of times you have seen me salute."

"I don't want to be Zhuge Kongming, you better not make such a decree."

Wang Qin took out a roll of yellow cloth from the side and handed it to Gu Qing, "Please have a look at it, Lord Hou."

In front of Li Er, Gu Qing unfolded and looked at the will written on Huang Juan cloth, which was what Li Er had just said.

"Actually, His Majesty has already drawn up the decree. When His Majesty fell ill, he wrote down this decree on the side of the bed and stamped the national seal. With this decree, Li Chengqian can't deny it." Wang Qin said in a low voice. .

"It turns out that you have already made preparations." Gu Qing nodded and looked at Li Er.

"I didn't consider your thoughts, don't blame me." Li Er said, "Li Tang is a heavy country, and I have been very tired after carrying it on my shoulders for the past few years. I can't find anyone other than you, Fang Xuanling I have said that you have a strange personality, good money and kindness, you know that gratitude, Yu Chigong said that you, Gu Qing, showed a compassionate expression on the battlefield, and Cheng Yaojin said that you, Gu Qing, are a bit stubborn but also sensible."

"I know that you are not such a good person. There is no perfect person in this world. Everyone has shortcomings. Compared with good people, I like bad people. You Gu Qing is a bad person. If you say bad, you are worse than Changsun Wuji. Among the bad guys, I am most optimistic about you."

"Why do I hear you seem to be struggling."

"Who made there be only one Gu Qing in this world." Li Er said with a smile.

"That's true." Gu Qing touched his nose.

"Forgive me for writing down this decree without discussing it with you. I have no choice." Li Er said.

"Okay, but I said in advance that if Li Xiang is not capable enough to be an emperor, I will not let him become an emperor." Gu Qing said.

Li Er smiled, without shaking his head or nodding.

"Farewell." Gu Qing put down the Huang Juan cloth in his hand and left, singing lyrics that Li Er couldn't hear along the way.

Wang Qin and Li Er listened to Gu Qing's singing, the tone was very pleasant to the ear and the articulation was clear, but there had never been such a language anywhere in Guanzhong or outside the Guan.

"That's the kind of words?" Li Er whispered.

"Your Majesty, he still hasn't taken this away." Wang Qin picked up the decree on the side and started

Li Er took it and held it in his hand, "I have no choice but Gu Qing has a choice, it's ridiculous."
