In half an hour, Chu Suiliang came, "Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian said in a low voice, "The king of Wu, Li Ke, is rebellious! He told me face to face that [-] soldiers in Soochow are ready, and in ten years time more than [-] soldiers will be ready."

Chu Suiliang was puzzled, "What did His Royal Highness King Wu say?"

"He said that if I'm unworthy! He, Li Ke, will definitely replace him!" Li Chengqian almost gritted his teeth and said, "This Li Ke is so courageous!"

Chu Suiliang probably understood, and asked back: "Is Your Majesty unworthy?"

"Chu Suiliang!" Li Chengqian said angrily, "Even you are questioning me?"

"Your Majesty, if you work hard, how can you be afraid of the threat of King Wu?" Chu Suiliang said again, "Don't you want to work hard, Your Majesty? Are you so afraid of others' words?"

Li Chengqian's words choked in his throat, "What I said was that Li Ke threatened me!"

"So what if it's a threat?" Chu Suiliang answered eloquently, "What are you afraid of? Could it be that your majesty wants to be stupid? As long as your majesty is not stupid, even if Li Ke raises troops, it's just that his name is not right. The Tang ruled the world for many years. , Now that the hearts of the people have returned, and all countries bow their heads to the Tang Dynasty, with such a powerful strength, I will ask you what you are afraid of! Could it be that the Supreme Emperor has worked hard to rule the country left by him for half his life, and His Majesty wants to squander it!"

Li Chengqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Chu Suiliang looked at the ups and downs in Li Chengqian's heart. Now that the court is in the world, there is great momentum to catch up with the next prosperous age. If His Majesty is so afraid, it will really disappoint the minister.

After speaking, Chu Suiliang waved his sleeves and left.

Sitting in his position, Li Chengqian felt aggrieved, thinking about his ins and outs, Gu Qing's insults to him, his father's insults to him, Li Tai's disdain, Gu Qing's power, Li Ke's eyes, these people all stared at him. Watch yourself, stress!With tremendous pressure on his heart, Li Chengqian knew that he had to work hard, at least he couldn't do worse than his father.

After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian felt that he still had to take precautions before it happened, and decided to send officials into Soochow at the meeting. Even if Li Ke said that he wanted to stare at him, he couldn't just sit still and watch Li Ke.

Chapter 783 Concubine Yin's Teachings

After Li Ke finished speaking in Ganlu Hall, he prepared his chariot and horses to leave Chang'an. Concubine Yin looked at her son's smiling face and asked, "What makes you so happy?"

"My son has figured it out." Li Ke said, "It was I who followed the advice of those guys in Soochow. Don't worry, mother, I will rectify and govern Soochow in the future."

Concubine Yin nodded, "Mother just wants you to be safe, it's fine, she won't be too demanding, as long as you are well, mother is just a woman who doesn't understand what's going on between your men, sometimes mother talks too much, you don't know what to do. Don't mind too much."

She slapped her son in front of the Daming Palace, Concubine Yin still felt a little regretful, but seeing the smile on her son's face felt a lot relieved now.

"I went to see Gu Qing." Li Ke said with a smile, "Gu Qing talked to me a lot, confiding in his heart, and I also figured out a lot."

"It's not that mother said Gu Qing was wrong." Concubine Yin said to her son, "Gu Qing, this child, don't you want to have too much relationship with him?"

"What's wrong?" Li Ke asked suspiciously.

"How should I put it, mother also heard about some things in Daming Palace." Concubine Yin whispered, "There are some things you don't know outside, when His Majesty was still in Daming Palace, we heard a lot of things, Gu Qing has killed a lot of people, maybe you think Gu Qing is such a lazy, smart person? In fact, Gu Qing is a ruthless person, he has done many shameful things for Li Shimin."

Li Ke really didn't know what Gu Qing did to help his father.

Concubine Yin sighed, "Gu Qing's back is too dark. According to rumors in the harem, Gu Qing has a lot of hostility. Do you know that every time he goes to war, there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"

"That's also for war." Li Ke said.

"It's not just that." Concubine Yin continued, "After the battle in the Hexi Corridor, His Majesty actually wanted to withdraw troops. If the general of the court refused, the civil servants would have persuaded His Majesty to withdraw troops. Gu Qing committed too many murders. There are too many, even Empress Changsun is moved, the body is hidden under the Qilian Mountains, it is said that the Potala Palace can still smell the blood, thankfully the war did not happen in the Central Plains."

"My child knows all these things." Li Ke lowered his head, "Gu Qing used the thunder and firearms from the sky to slaughter hundreds of thousands of aliens under the Potala Palace, killing all countries with fear, and now all countries are in awe of the people of Tang Dynasty , Some people outside said that as long as Gu Qing is here, the aliens will not offend Datang."

Concubine Yin went on to say, "Gu Qing is related to a group of people outside who are looking for longevity. I also heard about this incident when Wang Qin and His Majesty were talking secretly."

"Longevity?!" Li Ke wondered that he really didn't know about it.

Concubine Yin nodded, "Gu Qing's origin has always been a mystery, and His Majesty has investigated many times during this period, but nothing can be resolved. Gu Qing has many, many secrets, as well as the phoenix that Li Chengqian had when he ascended the throne. To appease the hostility in Gu Qing's heart, let Gu Qing live in Daning Temple for a while, but in the end, Gu Qing's hostility was still not wiped out. His Majesty said that this person is not easy to control. It's fine if Gu Qing is at ease, but if Gu Qing has murderous intentions , once this person who is endowed with unpredictable abilities does something, it is likely to be a disaster for Zhongyuan."

"It's not that your majesty didn't think about getting rid of Gu Qing at the beginning, but some of Gu Qing's actions are good for the country, and they are also good for the people in Guizhou. That's why he didn't do anything. Gu Qing saved himself, just a young man. If these are all his own He made it for others to see, and he knew what everyone would think from the very beginning, so this person is too scary." Concubine Yin continued, "At that time I was still serving His Majesty, and King Jin and Princess Jinyang were still in the presence of Gu Qing. Take care, when Jin Wang Li Zhi came back to visit his father and queen mother, I heard Li Zhi said that Gu Qing wrote a book called Psychology."

"Psychology?" Li Ke was puzzled, "What kind of study is this?"

"It sounds like a terrible book to me." Concubine Yin said, "But knowing what people are thinking in their hearts, it is more likely that they can control what people want to do in their hearts."

Li Ke felt suspicious in his heart.

"I just heard Jin Wang Li Zhi said that this book is in Gu Qing's study, and there is a very strange thing."

Li Ke looked at his mother and concubine.

Concubine Yin went on to say, "If this book is really so miraculous, Gu Qing put it on his bookshelf with great fanfare. It seems that he doesn't shy away from being known by others, and besides Gu Qing, there is nothing written in this book. People can understand."

"Is it a foreign language?" Li Ke asked.

Concubine Yin wrote a word in front of Li Ke, "What is this word, do you know it?"

Li Ke looked at the characters he was looking at, "Isn't this a herringbone? It's a typo."

"That's right, it's this kind of handwriting." Concubine Yin said in a low voice, "The harem is not like other places. In fact, the harem is very concerned about every move of the court. Who can become your majesty's concubine without a powerful family? For the sake of her family status, the first woman would inquire about many things in the court, so that the harem would contribute to assist the court. At that time, Gu Qing, who was famous at that time, was the person followed by many concubines in the harem. Their attention to Gu Qing was nothing more than to win Gu Qing into their own family People in the middle, even if you can make friends with Gu Qing."

"Someone inquired about this matter in Lingyan Pavilion, and it was Chu Suiliang who discovered it."

"That Chu Suiliang who is very good at writing and writing?" Li Ke nodded, "I heard that Chu Suiliang was able to enter the court partly because his father liked his writing, and his father liked poetry very much."

Concubine Yin nodded again, "At the beginning, everyone knew that Gu Qing's handwriting was very poor, and he would even write a lot of typos, but at that time Chu Suiliang felt that Gu Qing just subconsciously wrote another kind of writing, which was not a typo, but something that had never been written before. The characters I have seen, this kind of characters have the shadow of Zhongyuan characters, but there are still big discrepancies, as if they have been simplified."

"I've also heard of it." Li Ke recalled, "When the emperor wanted to investigate Gu Qing, Gu Qing was brought out from the mountains by Sun Simiao, and Gu Qing's accent was also very strange at that time, and what he said didn't seem like Guan Zhong. But the voice is sonorous and powerful, and it sounds good! It's a bit like Guanzhong dialect, but I haven't heard this kind of speech anywhere in Guanzhong. Compared with Guanzhong dialect, it is more refined, but after leaving Jingzhou, his accent quickly adapted to Guanzhong dialect. .”

Concubine Yin told Li Ke, "Gu Qing has many, many secrets that cannot be told. No matter whether it is good or bad, you'd better not get too close to this person. You should know how to protect yourself wisely."

Chapter 784 The Fat Monk's Reluctance

Li Ke didn't have so many thoughts, but felt that what Gu Qing said to him was very inspiring. Who is the emperor and who is in charge of the world?It also depends on whether Li Chengqian himself has the qualifications, and the carriage goes all the way in the direction of Soochow.

The dwarf ate a piece of naan bread and watched King Wu's carriage leave. He called the idlers around him to catch up with the carriage and returned to Chang'an by himself. When he came to the pen studio, Di Renjie was talking to the monk.

"You have already left Chang'an." The dwarf walked up and said.

Di Renjie nodded slightly, "It seems that this time there is no danger, it should be something that the teacher and the others have already done."

The dwarf looked at the monk and nodded, knowing that the monk has been in a low mood since this year, because Mr. Yang and Mr. Gu are ready to disband this youth gang that has been established for several years. Sometimes they are used to a life and want to get out It was really difficult. Neither I nor the monk wanted the Green Gang to disband.

Di Renjie got up and patted the monk's shoulder, "Some things should come to an end, and that's enough!"

"We can obviously do a lot of things." The monk bowed his head and said, "The power in our hands is getting bigger and bigger along the way, as long as Gu Boss says a word! Even the whole Chang'an we can help him win!"

Di Renjie smiled wryly and shook his head, "The greater the power, the harder it is to control. The teacher has made us weaken the backbone of the Youth Gang all these years. It's time! It's time to break up."

The dwarf looked at the monk's face and said, "There is no permanent banquet in the world. We are wanderers in the world. I thought you were used to this kind of thing, why can't you let it go now?"

The monk raised his head and sighed, "I have never done anything in my life that made me worthy of admiration. This youth gang was created by us alone. If we want to let go now, how can we let it go so easily."

"The teacher will wait for you at home, you can go there anytime." Di Renjie whispered.

"It's already very good. It's very good that the few of us who have been in the market together can live like this." The short man persuaded the fat monk, "Monk, I have saved enough money now, and you also have a pen studio to live on. At least we It’s good enough not to be displaced, not to be displaced, not to worry about being questioned by officers and soldiers.”
