"There's been a lot of rain this spring." Sun Simiao stood at the door of his house and said to Gu Xue who was beside him: "It seems that we can't go picking herbs today."

Gu Xue handed Sun Simiao a bamboo hat and said, "Here is this."

"No, it's spring rain, and the tigers and poisonous snakes are coming out of the forest." Sun Simiao said happily: "The spring rain looks soft, and it's easy to catch cold when it's drenched."

Li Xiang and Gu Xiao went to the academy early after breakfast. Gu Qing came to a pavilion with an umbrella and looked at the village in the rain. The drizzle made the whole village a lot quieter. Villagers are busy in the fields with bamboo hats.

Fan Jian knew that Gu Qing liked to watch the rain scene in the village on rainy days.

After being quiet for a long time, Gu Qing asked Fan Jian: "Does Di Renjie have any clues about the case that incited the morale of the army before?"

"Xiao Ditou seems to have caught a few key people, but the results of the case have not been handed over to the court, and the evidence may not be certain enough." Fan Jian said in a low voice.

Gu Qing nodded slightly. I don't want to ask too much about these things. I am about to leave the position of Xiangguo. It is a bit ridiculous to think about it. From the first time I entered Chang'an to offend Changsun Wuji, in the end I have been in Chang'an for ten years, and I have returned to Changsun Wuji. However, the price Changsun Wuji wanted for leaving Chang'an was to leave the position of Xiangguo himself. .

Changsun Wuji is a smart person, and he also contributed to Li Shimin's community. Gu Qing looked at the rain and said in a low voice: "Changsun Wuji, in the end none of us won."

When Fan Jian heard this sentence, he closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the rain around him.

The first thousand and forty-five chapters who has the final say

When the rain stopped, Pei Xingjian walked out of the house, watching the wet city of Chang'an heading towards Shangshu Province, and was stopped by Wang Jin when he arrived at Chengtian Gate.

"What's the matter?" Pei Xingjian looked at the eunuch and asked.

"Your Majesty, please, Shang Shuling, come with this old slave." Wang Jin turned around after speaking and started to walk.

Li Chengqian has left the palace?Pei Xingjian followed with suspicion all the way, and came to a mansion, which was the mansion of Duke Zhao of the eldest grandson's family.

"Shang Shuling, please come in." Wang Jin whispered.

Feeling a little confused, Pei Xingjian still followed into Zhao Guogong's mansion, followed Wang Jin all the way to the backyard of the eldest grandson's house, and saw Li Chengqian and eldest grandson Wuji. They didn't seem to have a very good expression.

"Your Majesty, we're here." Wang Jin said to Li Chengqian.

"Then it's Uncle Lao." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he got up and said to Pei Xingjian: "There are some things, it's better for you to talk about."

Looking at the situation, Pei Xingjian stood where he was and watched Li Chengqian leave.

"Come and sit down." Changsun Wuji said in a low voice.

"Mr. Zhao Guo is too polite, let's stand here." Pei Xingjian said.

Changsun Wuji observed the young man in front of him and said: "At the same age Gu Qing also became Minister of the Book, it is said that Cheng Yaojin also accepted you as a closed disciple?"

"It's just a joke." Pei Xingjian was wary of Changsun Wuji.

"You kid, Gu Qing, is hiding deep enough that even this old man doesn't know that you are Gu Qing's disciple."

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian raised his head and looked at his eyes, which were sharp under his old face, as if he could see through people's hearts at a glance, avoiding his eyes and said: "Mr. There are still many matters that the province needs to preside over.”

"That's right, today's court cannot do without you talents." Changsun Wuji said in a low voice, "Tell me, what is Gu Qing's real purpose in deploying the West?"

"For the sake of the western trade route, and also for the future Tang Dynasty can jump from Tianzhu Persia to the west." Pei Xingjian returned to talking: "There are many people who know about these things even if they don't talk about it, and Zhao Guogong must also understand it in his heart. Why bother asking."

"No, it's too wrong." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Gu Qing's goal is not that simple. There must be something in the west that is worthy of his pursuit, otherwise Gu Qing would not have worked so hard to create such a big situation."

"I don't understand what Zhao Guogong said, so I ask Zhao Guogong to enlighten me." Pei Xingjian bowed slightly.

Changsun Wuji looked at the flowers beside him, "I remember that when Gu Qing discovered the oil field when he was in the Hexi Corridor, Gu Qing possessed the method of making firearms, so of course he understood the importance of kerosene to firearms. The same is true for Yanmen Pass. I have heard rumors from the West since the Daye years, if the oil field in the West is not just the Hexi Corridor, even though I am at home, I know everything, Gu Qing’s new car also needs this kind of oil, right or wrong.”

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Pei Xingjian's doubts aggravated, and he opened his mouth to answer: "I don't understand these things. If Zhao Guogong wants to know, he can go to the academy or the factory and ask. Maybe he will get a more affirmative answer."

"You speak in a calm manner at such a young age. I will ask you again when Gu Qing can abdicate."

Pei Xingjian stood there for a long time without answering.

Changsun Wuji stood up and asked: "I'm getting old, I won't live long, you are still young, don't blame me for being anxious, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait long."

"Is this what His Majesty meant or what Zhao Guogong meant." Pei Xingjian asked rhetorically.

"What if it's what the old man meant?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Then I have no choice but to report it to the Ministry of Education and then let His Majesty decide." Pei Xingjian said.

"Then what if it's His Majesty's intention?" Changsun Wuji smiled inexplicably, seeing that the young man in front of him was a little nervous and walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Actually, is this what the old man meant or His Majesty's intention? It doesn't matter at all. The important thing is whether you want your teacher to leave the position of Xiangguo. It's just that you don't want to violate the gratitude in your heart. Is the old man right? Whether it's the old man's request or His Majesty's request, yes It’s a torment for you.”

"Zhao Guogong's words are wrong." Pei Xingjian looked directly at Changsun Wuji and said: "In fact, the teacher has never cared about the position of Xiangguo, and there are not so many constraints between me and the teacher."

There was doubt in Changsun Wuji's eyes.

Pei Xingjian smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you deceiving me, aren't you? It's a pity, your trick is useless to me."

"I didn't expect you to be so self-willed." Changsun Wuji shook his head disappointedly.

"The meaning of Zhao Guogong is actually understood by me. I asked my teacher to abdicate and let me do it myself to make me disagree with the teacher? Or to sow discord?" Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "These words may be useful to others, but not to me. , It's a pity to let Zhao Guogong waste his words."

Pei Xingjian walked in front of Changsun Wuji and said in a low voice: "I am the only one who can make the teacher abdicate. It doesn't matter who I am but me. That is, I can make my teacher abdicate. As for when? Look at my mood, Zhao Guogong, it has been so many years, times have changed, I respect you seniors, but everything has changed, everything has changed, you are no longer the eldest grandson Wuji, and my teacher is no longer It was the child who had nothing back then."

"This is the current situation. You have no power to stir up the situation. Why don't you retire." Pei Xingjian's tone was so light that only two people could hear each other, "Zhao Guogong, you are old! How many people do you know in the court? Even if it is him, Li Chengqian, can he change the current court?"

Changsun Wuji stood where he was and did not speak.

A drop of water dripped from the wet corner of the eaves, and fell to the ground and shattered.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Pei Xingjian was about to leave and turned to Changsun Wuji and said, "Mr. Zhao still needs to take care of his health. You are already in your old age. I implore you to give yourself and even the eldest grandson's family a good time." reputation.".

Pei Xingjian walked out of Zhao Guogong's mansion all the way, glanced at the old gate, and left without looking back.

The struggle between Changsun Wuji and Gu Qing has lasted for many years. Pei Xingjian respects Changsun Wuji from the bottom of his heart, at least he is doing it for the good of the Tang Dynasty. When Gu Qing went out to fight, Changsun Wuji could take advantage of Gu Qing’s absence to deal with Gu Qing many times. , but he has never done this before, everyone is for the good of Datang, but their directions are different, and their goals are also different.

The Thousandth Chapter 16 The Envoy Comes Again

No one wants to be a person who can turn the tide, some of them are just different from each other's real purpose, and don't think too noble of themselves. Changsun Wuji is a powerful person. He has been with the king since Li Shimin ascended the throne. The taboos are all for the consideration of the royal family. Only when the relationship between the aristocratic family and the royal family is balanced, the Tang Dynasty will still have long-term peace and stability.

But what Changsun Wuji did was exactly at odds with his teacher. Pei Xingjian walked and thought, his teacher Gu Qing was different. He wandered in the Central Plains with Sun Simiao since he was a child. All the time, my teachers are seeking stability for their villagers.

This also created conflicts between the aristocratic family and the common people. The time when the academy was established was when the aristocratic family was established. The aristocratic family has always controlled most of the scholars in the world. The more people there are, the more it will affect the government. Li Shimin knows this in his heart, and Changsun Wuji also knows this. For Changsun Wuji, as long as there is a balance between the imperial power and the family.

But for Gu Qing, Changsun Wuji's approach will only make the situation worse, so he thought about establishing an academy and making reading a normal practice in the world. Li Shimin is more willing to believe in Gu Qing's approach, and it is also because of Gu Qing's potatoes Several victories against the outside world gave Li Shimin the confidence to give the world a powerful dose of medicine, which caused the eldest grandson's family to plummet in Li Shimin's eyes.

The victory of the academy is obvious to all. The aristocratic family has always been a minority. After Gu Qing has accumulated a certain amount of power, the first blow is to defeat the aristocratic family and establish the academy. Maybe Gu Qing will fail, but think about the chances of Gu Qing's failure. ?

In fact, the people behind Gu Qing are the majority, the people in Qianshou are the majority, and the aristocratic families that Zhangsun Wuji wants to balance are only a few.

Against the family, Gu Qing acted very vigorously, hardly giving the family any chance to fight back, and bit the vitals of the family with one bite, until the family reacted, and found that several other families had been wiped out by Gu Qing, and the only ones left were A few can only dormant.

During this period, Changsun Wuji had no time to stop him. Changsun Wuji never thought that Gu Qing already had such strength at that time. He thought that Pei Xingjian had already reached Chengtian Gate. Speaking of which, at that time, Gu Qing was also desperately betting. Well, let's bet on who will react faster.
