A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Hearing these words, Tang Xuanzang looked at the stubble on Gu Qing's chin and nodded with a smile, "That's right, Benefactor Gu is just a mortal body."

"Now are you relieved?" Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Nowadays, there has been a lot of talk about Gu Houye in the court and even in Chang'an. Gu Houye, your karma should also come." Tang Xuanzang said.

"What do you mean? I'll explain it to you, but you still want to say that I'm in great trouble, don't you?"

"No, no." Tang Xuanzang waved his hand and said, "Everyone has a day of reckoning, and everything will have a day of results. Everyone has to face that day, and so does Gu Houye, no matter how many bad things Gu Houye has done. , How many people have been killed, how many people have been saved, the things in this world are always wonderful, no matter how hard you try, it will always give you an answer that you should have, just like Gu Houye’s actions will also be punished. A day of reckoning."

"Poor monk..." At this point Tang Xuanzang bowed and said to Gu Qing: "But the poor monk still has to thank Gu Houye, even though Gu Houye has done many evil things, Gu Houye has saved many people."

Tang Xuanzang went on to say: "Like Li Shimin, like Empress Changsun, like Li Chengqian... No matter who is in this world, everyone has a result, but what Gu Houye did, presumably only Gu Houye himself knows , the poor monk can ask, what did Marquis Gu do?"

Gu Qing stood up and stared at Tang Xuanzang as if his hairs had exploded.

Chapter 1042

Seeing Gu Qing's actions, Tang Xuanzang smiled and said: "The poor monk has already understood, and I hope that Gu Benefactor will take care of himself in the future."

Gu Qing recruited and called Fan Jian, looked at Tang Xuanzang's back and whispered, "What do you think this monk looks like when he walks?"

Fan Jian thought for a while and said, "The villain can't see it."

"Like someone who was fooled and missing."

By the river in the village, at Li Er's house, Li Er was watching Li Xiang tidy up the books in his study, and looked at his appearance and said in a low voice, "I've grown a lot taller."

"The grandson has been growing taller." Li Xiang said with a smile.

Li Er drank his tea and nodded slightly, "These days, the court is at war over your teacher's affairs. What do you think will happen when Gu Qing abdicates this time?"

Li Xiang stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Er with a smile and said, "Grandpa, grandson doesn't know what will happen, but grandson thinks that the teacher and father will definitely use the most peaceful means to resolve this matter."

"Then what method do you think should be used?" Li Er asked with a smile.

Li Xiang sat up straight and said: "My child thought that father and teacher should sit down and have a good talk. For a long time, there was no conversation between teacher and father. The teacher is Xiangguo, one of the six departments of the Great Tang Dynasty. The teacher is the head of the government, and the father is the emperor of the dynasty, let alone shirk."

"Okay!" Li Er nodded in agreement and said, "You ask Gu Qing to come over, how about asking your father to come over?"

"The grandson will tell the teacher."

At night, Wu Mei was sitting in her yard making new clothes for her child. Li Xiang walked into the house and said, "Master, where is the teacher?"

"I'll be in the study when I get back." Wu Mei said.

Li Xiang walked into the study and saw that Gu Qing was binding a book with his own hands. He stepped forward and said, "The teacher just asks the students to come."

Looking at Li Xiang who was growing taller day by day, Gu Qing said: "Your grandfather must have said something today."

"Yes." Li Xiang nodded and said: "Nowadays the government and the public are talking about the teacher. Grandpa Huang asked the teacher and the father to go, and the two sat down to have a good talk. They can't do nothing. The students are already on fire. It's almost the same, there are rumors that the teacher is another emperor outside the palace wall."

"Haha." Gu Qing laughed involuntarily, "I haven't done anything yet, and I have such words."

Li Xiang carefully helped Gu Qing bind the book and said: "The teacher really didn't do anything. In fact, even if the teacher didn't do anything, the position of the teacher is so imaginative. Some people say that the teacher wants to be the emperor outside the palace wall. Isn’t that what the teacher’s situation is like?”

Looking into Li Xiang's eyes, Gu Qing asked: "Then do you think teacher, I am the emperor outside the palace wall?"

"In the past, the teacher was just a magistrate of the county, and he was as rich as the enemy, and he was also a prime minister. From outsiders, the teacher has power and money, but the teacher is far away from the court. Now, although the teacher's wife is in charge of the bank, it is also Gu's family. Since the bank in Goguryeo After opening, the business is more unimpeded, and the Goguryeo teacher Qian Geometric is very clear, and he can solve the world's money and taxes with one word, and now the head of the Gu family is Xiangguo, and he holds the world's wealth in one hand."

Speaking of this, Li Xiang said: "The students think that the teacher is the emperor outside the palace wall."

"Stinky boy." Gu Qing touched Li Xiang's forehead and said, "I'm more capable of thinking than before."

"Teacher." Li Xiang continued, "A widower lives next to a widow, what would people think?"

"That's true." Gu Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"It's bound." Li Xiang handed the book to Gu Qing.

"This book is for you." Gu Qing said with a smile: "I don't know if what I wrote is useful, but the knowledge above can give you some inspiration. I wrote about the process of social change, and I don’t know what will happen in the future, but some of the stories in this book did happen.”

"Which stories did happen, did the teacher experience it?" Li Xiang asked.

Gu Qing whispered: "Some people in some stories are shadows engraved in history, they are heroic spirits."

"The shadow engraved in history?"

"These are things I don't dare to forget, and they are worth remembering, so it is a luxury for me to write them down, and it can be regarded as a utopia in my heart. Sometimes, as a teacher, I always have an illusion that I don't know which one is right. It's true." Gu Qing said in a low voice.

Li Xiang left Gu Qing's study with the book in his arms, always feeling that there were other meanings in these words.

In the middle of the night, Li Xiang was tossing and turning, so he glanced at the sleeping Gu Xiao and opened the book to read. The simplified Chinese characters could be understood by himself, and it seemed like a story, a story of turmoil.

Looking at these Li Xiang, he understood the changes in society, and began to wonder whether everything the teacher is doing now is also to avoid the turbulent stories above.

"Aren't you asleep?" Gu Xiao got up in a daze.

Raising his head, Li Xiang realized that it was dawn before he knew it.

On the second day, Gu Qing arrived in front of Li Er's house. Empress Changsun was about to go out to pick wild vegetables when she saw Gu Qing standing at the door, "Why don't you go in and sit down."

"I'll wait for someone." Gu Qing said.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Isn't this here?" Gu Qing looked at the person walking not far away.

Li Chengqian walked step by step and saw Empress Changsun salute and said: "Mother."

"En." Empress Changsun nodded slightly, "Go in."

Walking into Li Er's residence side by side with Li Chengqian, Gu Qing said, "Have you heard a story?"

Li Chengqian stopped and looked at Gu Qing, "What story?"

"The Story of the Farmer and the Snake."

"What kind of story."

"It's just a fairy tale." Gu Qing walked into the room and greeted Li Er, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

"Alright." Li Er looked at Gu Qing and saw Li Chengqian walking into the room, "They're all here, so come in and have a seat."

Li Er sat at the top of a table, and Gu Qing and Li Chengqian sat facing each other.

Wang Qin quietly poured a cup of tea for both Gu Qing and Li Chengqian. Li Er looked at the silent two and said, "Whoever wants to speak first, drink the tea."

Li Chengqian finished the tea in the cup first.
