A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

The laughter quieted down, and Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing's expression again and said: "You still don't want to tell me, what did my father and brother say to you? If you are a little embarrassed about something, I can ask my father to help you." Tell me, after all, I am also the child of my father."

"Actually, it's nothing." Gu Qing patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, "I've been in your father's hands for the rest of my life. If you say I've got the glory and wealth, it's no big deal, but your father wants me to bear an eternal infamy. That's all."

"Eternal infamy?" Li Zhi said in surprise.

Chapter 1048

"That's right, it's an eternal infamy. For your father and the royal family, the royal family cannot have stains, and these stains can be borne by me. It's nothing but an eternal infamy. What will Gu Qing look like in the future history? Don't care if you don't see it."

Li Zhi stood up and looked at Gu Qing for a while and said, "Gu Qing, thank you."

"Nothing." Gu Qing said with a smile.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Jingzong rode away from the Maritime Trade Department and headed all the way to Luoyang.

There was another good news from the battle in the west, and Fan Jian came to Gu Qing with the military report and said, "Patriarch, there is good news."

"Just tell me, I won't watch it," Gu Qing said.

Fan Jian nodded and said: "This time, Dashi and Rome are coming fiercely. General Xue Rengui blocked Dashi's attack first, and then there was internal strife between Dashi and Rome. The old king of Dashi died in the hands of Romans. Dashi has already lost. .”

Gu Qing stood up after breakfast and stretched his waist, "Come with me for a walk outside the village."

"Okay." Fan Jian nodded.

In the bank, Li Chongyi was already familiar with the current operation of the bank, and everything began to be handy. Li Xiaogong came to the bank and looked at his son Li Chongyi and said, "It was right to let you leave Li Chengqian's control."

"Hail has also heard rumors recently. Father means that even if Gu Qing leaves Xiangguo's position, he can't stand by Li Chengqian's side?"

Li Xiaogong nodded slightly, "The bank's position is special and cannot be in the hands of the royal family."

"My child understands."

Looking at Li Chongyi, Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "Are you worried that after Gu Qing leaves the position of Xiangguo, Gu Qing will lose his power?"

"The child does have such worries."

Li Xiaogong shook his head, "everyone comes to this world from childhood to adulthood, the older they get, the more and more shackles they will have. There is a saying in ancient times that there is no rule without rules, and rules are necessary. Without rules, the world will be a mess." What does it look like, in fact, the position of Xiangguo has never been an honor for Gu Qing, but a burden, and even a shackle."

"What do you say? With power, can you do more things?" Li Chongyi asked.

"You can't say that. If you have power, more people will stare at you. If Gu Qing can leave the position of Xiangguo at this time, it will be free and liberating for Gu Qing. Sitting in the position of Xiangguo now is something that Gu Qing doesn't want Need bondage."

"People outside say that Gu Qing will leave this position soon."

Li Xiaogong still shook his head, "No, Li Shimin won't let Gu Qing be free. Gu Qing has done too much for the royal family. For Li Shimin, the current royal family is not enough to fight against Gu Qing. Li Shimin will always be restrained. Looking at Gu Qing, pressing Gu Qing all the time, maybe Gu Qing will sit in the position of Xiangguo for many, many years, the emperor pays attention to balance, Li Shimin actually gambled again, using himself to live in Gu Qing's village, put pressure on Gu Qing, so that Li Chengqian's It won't be as stressful."

"This will also balance Gu Qing and Li Chengqian. Li Shimin still has good intentions."

After listening to what his father said, Li Chongyi continued to ask: "Nowadays, the voice of the public is getting louder and louder. If Gu Qing continues to be the prime minister..."

"The emperor inside the palace walls and the emperor outside the palace walls?"

"That's right." Li Chongyi nodded.

Li Xiaogong sighed, "Let him go, so what if Gu Qing is the emperor outside the palace walls? As long as Gu Qing doesn't go inside the palace walls, nothing will happen. The Great Tang is still the same Great Tang, and Gu Qing is still the same as before. That Gu Qing."

"For Li Chengqian, sitting on the throne, he was under more pressure than Li Shimin at that time, because Li Shimin's achievements and Gu Qing's achievements were like two mountains. Li Chengqian couldn't breathe, so that he couldn't do anything. They are all cautious, if Li Chengqian can leave his throne, Li Chengqian will be relieved a lot, after all, Gu Qing and Li Chengqian are at odds with each other as they say."

"In fact, Gu Qing and Li Chengqian are the same. They both have similar situations. The person who caused this situation is either someone else or Li Shimin. Li Shimin's current position in this game of chess is the hope that it will be the current situation. Put Gu Qing in front of Li Chengqian Let Gu Qing sharpen Li Chengqian, as for how much Li Chengqian can learn, it all depends on Li Chengqian's own good fortune, I went to the village yesterday and saw two children, one is Gu Qing's son, and the other is the current prince."

Li Chongyi nodded, "My child knows that Gu Qing is Li Xiang's teacher, and now he is also Gu Xiao's brother."

"Yes, Li Xiang's future is Li Shimin's last request to Gu Qing. Whether Li Xiang can ascend to the throne in the future depends on what Gu Qing will do. We can all understand that there have been many battles in the palace. The queen took the prince away In the harem, this incident must have caused quite a stir in Li Chengqian's harem, and there must have been many people who contributed to it, so only after Li Xiang ascended the throne can Li Shimin's game of chess be truly revitalized."

Li Chongyi nodded after listening, "Both Gu Qing and Li Chengqian are just pawns for Li Shimin to weigh, and Li Xiang is Li Shimin's most important result."

"That's right." Li Xiaogong nodded.

I am deeply impressed by Li Shimin's means, and he has everything in his own hands, but he also laments the sorrow of the royal family, standing on a high place, but feeling the thinnest family affection.

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaogong looked out the window, "After waiting for so long, why is this old man Cheng Yaojin still missing?"

As soon as Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he saw the hulking Cheng Yaojin in the crowd swaying over with a jug in his hand, and he seemed to be drunk too much.

western battlefield

Li Taibai and Zhang Jiuling were caught in front of Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui looked at the two young men, "You two have been following behind the army."

"General, please listen to our explanation." Zhang Jiuling immediately said: "We are all students of the academy, we just want to see the battlefield, and we don't want to disturb the general. Please forgive me if there is any offense."

"Students from the Academy?" Xue Rengui stood up and looked at Zhang Jiuling and Li Taibai and shouted, "As an Academy student, you should know the dangers of the battlefield!"

"We can protect ourselves." Li Taibai also said.

Di Renjie, who knew about the matter, came in a hurry, saw Li Tai and Zhang Jiuling in front of Xue Rengui wanted to laugh but couldn't, and quickly explained: "General Xue, I know this Jiuling, he is a student of the academy."

"Why did you come here?" Di Renjie looked at Zhang Jiuling in surprise, "You left the academy without saying goodbye, and you came here just for that?"

Chapter 1049 Marching at Night

Xue Rengui looked at Di Renjie and Zhang Jiuling strangely, they really knew each other.watermark ad test watermark ad test

Di Renjie looked at the equally distressed person beside Zhang Jiuling and said, "This is..."

"This is a good friend I met in Luoyang. His name is Li Taibai." Zhang Jiuling introduced: "We planned to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers for a while before returning to Chang'an. Knowing the great war in the West, we also wanted to see it."

Seeing that Xue Rengui's expression was not very good, Zhang Jiuling knelt down on one knee and said, "If General Xue feels something is wrong, the two of us can join the army and join the battlefield."

"What are you talking about? Where is the battlefield? How do you fight with a powerless person like you?"

Li Taibai looked at Xue Rengui and asked, "If we don't join the army, will we be sent back?"

"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded.

"That's it, let's join the army." Li Taibai said loudly.

Xue Rengui smiled helplessly, "The two brats said that if they want to join the army, they can join the army. Do you know what kind of people can join the army? You go to the Chang'an Military Department to register first, and then the Military Department and various guards will arrange for you. Do you think you can join the army with just one sentence? Where are you in the army, you can come if you want!"

Li Taibai was so choked by Xue Rengui's words that he couldn't speak a word.

"Tomorrow, the luggage team will go back again, so you should follow along." Xue Rengui left after speaking.

Di Renjie looked at Zhang Jiuling and Li Taibai and said, "Go back, it's too dangerous here."

"We can take care of ourselves," Li Taibai said.

At night, Zhang Jiuling and Li Taibai still decided to stay, and they might not be able to find themselves among the hundreds of thousands of troops.
