A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

What the family hit was a fist, but what Gu Qing stabbed was a knife.

During this period, Li Shimin has always been a bystander, watching Changsun Wuji go around to deal with Gu Qing in order to balance the family, and watching Gu Qing, who had already expanded his wings at that time, attack the killer. If Gu Qing fails, then Li Shimin is likely to never again. If you trust Gu Qing, but believe in Changsun Wuji's approach even more, it is impossible for the academy to be established. If Gu Qing succeeds, it will be Changsun Wuji's loneliness.

In fact, Li Shimin doesn't believe anyone, he only looks at the results, who can help him rule the aristocratic family obediently, Gu Qing and Changsun Wuji. Tang's voice was all for the benefit of the aristocratic family, and Chaotang was dying of illness.

Changsun Wuji lost this battle, because Changsun Wuji didn't dare to go all out, didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket like Gu Qing did.

"What are you thinking about?" Xue Rengui looked at Pei Xingjian who was standing still.

After recovering, Pei Xingjian looked at Xue Rengui, "Brother Xue, why did you come to Chang'an today?"

"Zhongshu saved the document, I want to come and check the document myself." Xue Rengui stretched his muscles, "The news just received, why the dispatch of troops has been postponed."

"Brother Xue is not in the court during this period, so I'm afraid I don't know many things." Pei Xingjian paced and said, "I can't explain clearly in a few words, so Brother Xue might as well ask my senior brother, there are still many things that Shang Shusheng needs me to go to." Do it, let me say goodbye."

"Go ahead, I'm going to visit the Cheng family." Xue Rengui also said.

Xue Rengui was puzzled all the way out of Chengtianmen, why did he suddenly suspend sending troops?

The eldest grandson Wuji was sitting at home. In fact, Li Chengqian did not come here this time because of Gu Qing's abdication. Li Chengqian didn't even mention it, but asked about the younger brother of King Goguryeo. The younger brother was arranged in the academy. This was the second time that he was sent as an envoy hoping to pick up the younger brother of King Goguryeo. Gu Qing already has a tacit understanding, no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless.

But it's not in vain, at least if Pei Xingjian's words are tricked out, Gu Qing will abdicate sooner or later, and it has already been decided.

Gu Village

Gu Qing, who was sitting at home, received a report from Fan Jian, "Patriarch, the envoy of Goguryeo is asking to see you."

"What are they here for? Shouldn't the envoy go to see Li Chengqian?" Gu Qing put down the pen in his hand and asked.

"They said it was for the younger brother of the Goguryeo king." Fan Jian said in a low voice: "This time, the Goguryeo envoys came to Chang'an to prepare a lot of money. The purpose of coming here is not only to pick up the younger brother of Goguryeo, but also to send a few students of Goguryeo to enter. The academy, but the academy is not easy to agree to, Old Master Kong Yingda doesn’t want to meddle in political affairs, and King Wei hopes that the head of the family can make the decision.”

"How much money did you bring?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.

"Excluding property, the total amount of money is [-] guan." Fan Jian said.

"Ten thousand guan?" Gu Qing stood up and smiled.

"It seems that Goguryeo is determined to send Goguryeo's children to the academy." Fan Jian said from the side.

"Bring in an envoy from Goguryeo, just one." Gu Qing whispered.

"Yes."

Fan Jian walked out of the study, and came back with a person in a short while.

When someone came into the academy, he saw Gu Qing saluted dignifiedly and said, "Your servant, I have seen Lord Gu of the Tang Dynasty."

"There is no need to perform such a big ceremony." Gu Qing said to Fan Jian: "Pour tea for the guests."

The envoy of Goguryeo saluted again and said in Guanzhong dialect that is not fluent: "Gu Houye doesn't know something. Even in Goguryeo, Gu Houye's reputation is still loud. There are many deeds of Gu Houye in Goguryeo. There is also General Su Dingfang, whose [-] soldiers and horses smashed through Suwen's [-] troops, and Gu Houye's several battles outside the borders of the Tang Dynasty, all of which were bloodshed. The border countries heard the word Gu Qing, Who doesn't back away, and who dares to stop any Gu family caravan? We all know the reputation of Gu Houye, and the battle in the Hexi Corridor! Killed a dozen small countries in the frontier without a sound."

Gu Qing rubbed his ears vigorously, "Are you complimenting me or hurting me?".

Pfft!

Hearing this, the envoy immediately knelt down on the ground, "Please forgive me for my poor words."

"It's okay, there are many people in Chang'an calling me a murderer, so it's okay to say a few more words." Gu Qing looked at the Goguryeo envoy and said, "Go ahead."

Goguryeo's envoy bowed and said in a low voice, "I dare not speak."

"Then let's talk about your reason for coming." Gu Qing changed his sitting position and looked at the cloudy sky outside the window, "You Goguryeo want to send your children to study in the academy, how many students do you want to arrange now?"

Speaking of this matter, the Goguryeo envoy immediately cheered up, "Looking back at Lord Hou, there are only ten of them in total."

"Ten." Gu Qing was thinking anxiously, "Have you met that one in the palace?"

The envoys of Goguryeo knew that Gu Qing was referring to the current Tang Emperor Li Chengqian, and the relationship between Gu Houye and the Tang Emperor was very bad, which was already well known in Chang'an. Regarding the matter of the academy, Li Chengqian couldn't give a specific answer at all, he could only hand it over to the academy, but the academy had to be handed over to Gu Qing, and that academy was also built by Gu Qing.

After thinking for a long time, the Goguryeo envoy said: "I haven't been there yet, but His Majesty the Tang Dynasty said something first, and it all depends on the academy, so we found the academy. The academy didn't want to interfere with the government, so we had to ask me to come and see Lord Gu. .”

"Aren't you afraid of offending him?" Gu Qing asked with great interest.

Goguryeo's envoy went on to say: "Our king has ordered that he would rather offend His Majesty the Tang Dynasty than Lord Gu of the Tang Dynasty."

"Is this king of Goguryeo really following my example?"

"Without Gu Hou, who rushed thousands of miles to help Goguryeo and fought bloody Gai Suwen, there would be no Goguryeo today." He said while bowing.

Fan Jian brought the tea to the Goguryeo envoy and said, "Let's have some tea."

"Thank you." The Goguryeo envoy drank it in one gulp and said, "Good tea, thank you Lord Gu for the tea."

"You have been exhausted enough to come to the Central Plains." Gu Qing said again: "This is the second time I have come to study for your Goguryeo children. I can promise to let your Goguryeo children study in the academy, but there are only two students a year. Ten quotas, each student is one thousand per year. As for the current batch of students, they don’t need to pay. I promise to let them enter the academy, and you can take back ten thousand. I, Gu Qing, don’t care about this mere ten thousand. .”

"Thank you!" the envoy bowed and said excitedly, almost falling to his knees.

"There are only twenty quotas per year, no more." Gu Qing said.

"Your servant understands that it's my negligence. Using this [-] guan of silver is a way for a villain to cross the heart of a gentleman." The envoy continued: "Just please accept the products brought from Goguryeo."

"I'll take it." Gu Qing nodded slightly.

Seeing that things were going well, the envoy said again: "There is one more thing, please agree with Lord Hou."

"Enough talking, you guys should go back and rest, if there is anything else, we can talk about it another day." Dog Novel Network

Gu Qing's words seemed to be an order to chase away guests, and the Goguryeo envoy bowed solemnly and said, "I will take my leave."

After the Goguryeo envoy left, Fan Jian came with this note and said, "Your Majesty, this is a note sent by His Royal Highness King Wei of the Academy."

Gu Qing opened the note, looked at it, put it aside and said, "I didn't expect this envoy to be the most important minister of King Goguryeo."

"Do you need to be on guard?" Fan Jian asked, "You can let the monks watch."

"It's not necessary." Gu Qing stood up and said: "The note sent by the fat man said that this envoy of Goguryeo often does business with Goguryeo in the Central Plains, and there are many chess pieces sent by the court in Goguryeo. The king took a fancy to him, so he made him a minister, and now he is here."

The study returned to silence, and the Goguryeo envoy walked out of Gu's house with a solemn expression.

"Has Master Gu agreed?" Several attendants asked in Korean.

"Promise, every year our Goguryeo students will have [-] places to study in Chang'an Academy, and this time the money will not be charged and we will take it back."

"That's great." Several followers said one after another: "I didn't expect that Marquis Gu of Chang'an is such a good person."

As the entourage said this, the envoy of Goguryeo's face became more dignified, and there were different opinions on Gu Qing's comments. One of them was that Gu Qing was desperate for money, and this had an inseparable relationship with Gu Qing's current wealth. .
