A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Li Er went on to say: "As the Prime Minister, you are raising your own self-respect at sea, aren't you?"

"You know why I did this, I explained it to you." Gu Qing said.

"Indeed, if I were replaced by Zhen, I would indeed do the same, but you are not Zhen, you are Xiangguo, Gu Qing, you are arrogant, and this is also one of your mistakes." Li Er said: "Do you admit it? "

"Are we settling accounts after autumn?" Gu Qing looked at Li Er's expression, the old guy seemed to be counting his crimes.

"I haven't finished talking yet, so don't worry." Li Er took a sip of tea and said, "You, Gu Qing, have a lot of crimes, and I can't finish talking about them all night."

"These crimes have to be added up, and I still have countless life debts in my hands, even if I am Ling Chi, I can't count them enough." Gu Qing said, "I understand it, old man, this is an intention to kill relatives rightly, right? The shameful things you did have become your crimes, and you took the results you wanted and wiped me out."

"Gu Qing, there are some things I didn't ask you to do. Of course, I don't care about the things you did before you became Prime Minister." Li Er said, "Then I'm going to ask you now, do you, Gu Qing, admit to the various crimes you committed before? Are they enough for you?" Do you want Gu Qing to leave the position of prime minister and leave your infamy of Gu Qing in the annals of history?"

Gu Qing stared at Li Shimin and said: "You are an elder, I don't want to question you, I was careless and didn't expect that you have been scheming me for so many years, you have already prepared this trick so that I have to back down. "

Li Er smiled, "Although this is the case, the previous agreement between me and you is still valid. It is not easy to establish the Tang Dynasty. Don't blame me for settling accounts with you. Apart from trusting you, I can only blackmail you."

Li Chengqian looked at the change in Gu Qing's expression, listened to his father's words, and thought about Gu Qing's crimes, as long as these crimes were brought to the fore, Gu Qing, the prime minister, could be abdicated.

Li Er sighed and said, "Gu Qing, all the members of my Li family are grateful to you. You are the one who makes me feel guilty the most in this life. Forgive me for not giving you what you deserve, but I will impose on you what you don't want."

Gu Qing didn't say anything, Li Er looked at Li Chengqian, "Chengqian, I am not satisfied with everything you have done since you came to the throne, maybe no matter how well you do, I will not be satisfied, because you are my son."

"Now, when do you think it's appropriate for Gu Qing to leave the position of prime minister?"

"Baby..." Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer, he couldn't speak half of the words.

"Is it the end of the Great War in the West, or the time when the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has settled down?" Li Er asked again.

"My child doesn't know." Li Chengqian lowered his head.

Patting Li Chengqian on the shoulder, Li Er said: "I often think about what Tang would be like without Gu Qing, don't blame me for being harsh on you."

"My child has never thought about it this way. My father has taught me that I have always kept it in my heart. It is my stupidity." Li Chengqian said immediately.

Li Er went on to say: "Even if the war in the West is over, even if the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is settled, do you think that when Gu Qing abdicates at that time, will the voice in the court be quiet? The ministers in the court will take it for granted. Things? The most difficult thing in this world is to understand the world, do you understand?"

"My child understands that there are too many admirers of Gu Qing in the court. Once Gu Qing is abdicated, the court's hearts are likely to disperse." Li Chengqian replied.

"It's good to understand. The three ministers were single-handedly promoted by Gu Qing. They have the taste of the three princes and nine ministers. However, when you think about Gu Qing's arrangements for the court after he became the prime minister, the three ministers are different from the three ministers. The three ministers are different from each other. It has weighed the balance of the government, the balance between the emperor and the courtiers, Chu Suiliang and Gu Qing are old friends, Pei Xingjian is a disciple, Shangguanyi was sent to the academy by Gu Qing, and there are so many people in the court. All the young courtiers came from the academy, so many poor students in this huge academy, they all more or less remember Gu Qing's kindness."

"There are not so many reasons in this world. This kindness will be remembered by many people. The academy is the deepest moat for Gu Qing."

"Wait! Should I avoid what you father and son are going to say next?" Gu Qing said.

"Sit down and listen to me." Li Er ordered Gu Qing.

"Oh." Gu Qing sat down again.

Li Er patiently said to Li Chengqian: "Nowadays, everyone knows that the emperor is not compatible. No matter who leaves between you and Gu Qing, it is not good for the court and the world, and some troubles will inevitably occur. So I think that as long as you accept If you are in power for a day, Gu Qing will be a prime minister for a day, no matter how much conflict there is between you, you must sit and stand properly."

Li Er turned his head to look at Gu Qing, "If one day Li Chengqian abdicates, Gu Qing, you should also leave the position of prime minister. Do you think what I said is reasonable?"

"If I say I'm not being reasonable, I'm ignorant, but if I'm being reasonable, why do I feel so spineless." Gu Qing smiled awkwardly, "Before that, I have the conditions."

"Tell me." Li Er nodded.

"The previous marriage between the royal family and my son was invalidated, and there was no order anyway, and the royal family will not be able to arrange for all the children of my Gu family in the future."

Chapter 1046 Too Many Dilemmas

"I also have a condition!" Li Chengqian also said: "The royal family can give the Gu family prosperity and wealth. The royal family does owe you Gu Qing, but once I abdicate, Gu Qing will also leave the position of prime minister. thing."

Very good, a consensus has been reached, Gu Qing nodded and said: "You will be your emperor, I will be my minister, and when we arrive, we will each do our own thing."

"It's getting late, those old guys outside have been standing all day, you go back." Li Er said.

Gu Qing walked out of the house, looked at the closed door and said to Li Chengqian: "Do you go out first or I go out first."

"Go ahead, I lost that game of chess." Li Chengqian said.

Gu Qing walked to the door, opened the door and saw familiar faces, Yang Sheng walked up first, "Gu Qing, are you okay?"

Cheng Chumo also stepped forward and said to Gu Qing: "I was scared to death, I thought that what happened in Daming Palace back then would happen again."

"How can it be so serious, we just talk about it."

Standing in the dark night, Li Chengqian watched Gu Qing chatting and laughing with those good friends of the old Duke and Gu Qing, and felt a chill in his heart. There are always so many people standing around Gu Qing, and there are always So lonely.

"How's Chengqian talking?"

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Li Chengqian bowed and said, "Mother Empress."

"Gu Qing is Gu Qing, and you are you." Empress Changsun patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said, "The royal family is always lonely. You have become an emperor and you will never have as many sincere friends as Gu Qing in your life."

"Baby understands that you can be friends with Gu Qing, but you can't help being a monarch with Haier." Li Chengqian said in a low voice.

Empress Changsun nodded slightly, "It's good that you understand."

"My child envies him very much." Li Chengqian said.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian, "There are too many dilemmas in this world, just like Gu Qing, if Gu Qing wanted power, he wouldn't have so many friends, but instead he would have many enemies, besides In our royal family, as emperors, we sometimes have to learn to control our emotions. We can have loyal courtiers, but we cannot have sincere friends, just like Gu Qing is a person who values ​​affection, but a person who values ​​affection cannot be an emperor. It won’t last long if you do it.”

Li Chengqian nodded silently and watched the people outside the door disperse, and was about to make a move, "Mother, the child will leave first."

"Your father can't give you too much advice in the future, so don't blame him."

"The child doesn't blame the emperor." Li Chengqian walked out of the house after speaking.

Li Er came to Empress Changsun's side, "Chengqian still lost that game of chess."

"You don't care about winning or losing." Empress Changsun said.

"Who doesn't want their son to win." Li Erchang sighed.

"I hope he can understand your hard work as a father." Empress Changsun looked up at Mingyue.

Gu Qing took Li Xiang and Gu Xiao to the house, Gu Xiao didn't have much emotion, but Li Xiang seemed to be unable to say something.

"If you want to ask, just ask." Gu Qing walked to the door and said.

Li Xiang looked at Gu Qing, "Teacher, will you abdicate?"

"Not now. I made an agreement with your grandfather and father. I will not abdicate for one day when Li Chengqian is in power. If your father abdicates, your teacher and I will leave the position of Xiangguo."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Students think this is very good. In fact, the father is also worried. If the teacher leaves the position of prime minister at this time, both the court and the people will have their voices out, and there may be many People think that the father is forcing the teacher to abdicate, and it will not benefit the father when the court and the people lose their hearts, and it will make the father very isolated."

Gu Qing nodded.
