Qin Qiong said to Cheng Yaojin, "Whoever is on the battlefield is aboveboard with you."

Chapter 626 Be a Bad Customer Once

Wang Qin went to the Firearms Bureau with the flintlock gun and the blueprint, and Cheng Yaojin saw that the atmosphere was not right and said, "I will leave."

Qin Qiong also bowed and left.

Gu Qing and Li Er were left in the Daming Palace, and several maids prepared food and drinks for them.

"Is Gao Yang okay?" Li Er asked Gu Qing in a low voice, cut off a piece of mutton with a knife and put it in his mouth.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that there are Master and family caregivers." Gu Qing didn't have much appetite for the food in front of him while drinking.

"I heard that Gu Qing is also here." Empress Changsun came in plain clothes.

Looking at the eldest grandson empress, Gu Qing really wanted to call out mother-in-law?

"How are you these days?" Empress Changsun sat beside Li Er and talked.

"These days..." Gu Qing poured himself a glass of wine, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother must have known about the rumors in the court, and I am quite conflicted in my heart. I think this step should be done, but I also feel that this step is too big. .”

Empress Changsun was very fond of Gu Qing's consonant, and gave Li Er a weird look.

After receiving the look, Li Er nodded and said, "It is said that Gao Shilian has also looked for you?"

"I did mention something." Gu Qing said lazily, "There are also some points, but I think there are more warnings, I don't know how to deal with me, and Li Chengqian is probably going to deal with me too, your son-in-law Now that I am surrounded by enemies and ambushed by all sides, shouldn't you, old man, give me some help?"

"Hehehe." Li Er smiled in surprise, "Guanyin maidservant, look at this brat who is really rude to me."

Empress Changsun looked at Gu Qing and said, "Your Majesty sees everything you said."

"I knew that you wouldn't let it go." Gu Qing changed into a more comfortable sitting position, "Since we are a family and don't talk about each other, some people in the court really need to be rectified. monopoly, the gentry's intervention in the court has become less and less, and what needs to be changed needs to be changed."

"Okay, there's no need to talk." Li Er interrupted, and said to Gu Qing, "I understand what you want to do. You want Qingsu to clean up the court. After so many years, I can see that the criticism from the court, It is not a good thing for an old official to sit in a high position for more than ten years or even decades with old-fashioned ideas."

"If an imperial court is always conservative, the world will stagnate, but Gu Qing, how can you ensure that your ideas are correct, and that the new young people can be qualified for the imperial court? Will the young people do something wrong?"

"This point really needs to be carefully considered." Gu Qing did not refute Li Er's words, "I want to use an internship method, that is, competition!"

"Tell me." Li Er became interested.

Gu Qing said with a smile, "Actually, the meaning is very simple, that is, compare the two and choose the best. One seat can hold three to five new officials at the same time. They do their own things. Whoever does the best can be accepted by the court For recruitment, whoever does not do well will send it down and start competing again until it can be hired, the survival of the fittest.”

"Will it be too cruel?" Empress Changsun whispered.

"It must be cruel." Gu Qing spoke patiently, "Shen Guogong told me about the worldly wisdom in the court, but in my eyes, the worldly wisdom is the criticism of the court."

Li Er ate mutton for himself, "You have said so much, what kind of help do you want from me? I have entrusted you with so many rights, and you still come to ask me for it, isn't that right?" Some are too unreasonable.”

"I don't want those old generals to get involved in the affairs of the court." Gu Qing replied, "I respect them very much, but I just hope that they will not be involved in this dispute. If they also intervene, it will be very difficult for me. "

"It seems that what Gao Shilian said reminded you." Li Er said in a low voice.

"That's natural."

"I understand." Li Er replied, "I will find an opportunity to catch up with those old guys, and it will be clear soon, and I will naturally help you talk."

"Thank you." Gu Qing stood up and was about to leave.

"After you called Guanyin's servant girl mother, can't you call me father?" Li Er's words were somewhat depressed, "Among my sons-in-law, you, Gu Qing, are the only ones who don't understand the rules."

"There is something urgent at home, I'm leaving first." Gu Qing took two bear's paws before leading him away.

"Look at this bastard." Li Er looked at Gu Qing's virtue and was still angry, "He's already rich, and he didn't forget to bring some benefits to me. How could Gao Yang be so determined to such a guy?"

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled, serving Li Er carefully.

The fat monk waited outside the Daming Palace until Gu Qing came back, and then stepped forward, "Boss Gu, this is the roster. These people are all on Li Chengqian's side, and most of them are people with black material. A copy has been copied and handed over to Dali Temple."

Looking at the name on it, Gu Qing understood, "I have already confessed to Li Shimin, tell Di Renjie to take care of him, don't be afraid of big troubles, the bigger the trouble, the better!"

"But Gao Shilian has also been to Dali Temple."

"I'm going to meet Gao Shilian." Gu Qing put away the roster, "You also tell Di Renjie, don't be afraid of big troubles when you arrest people. I'll make fun of it if something happens."

"Okay, I'll do it now." The fat monk nodded and left.

"Wait." Gu Qing called to stop him, "I'll give you these two bear paws."

"Thank you, Boss Gu." The fat monk smiled and left.

Walking through Zhuque Street, Gu Qing walked all the way to Zhuque Street. Gao Shilian's house is not hard to find, it is just beside Qin Qiong's mansion.

"My lord, Gu Qing, come to see Duke Shen."

"The head of the family is having a banquet, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient today."

"It so happened that I came to ask for a glass of wine." Gu Qing walked in while speaking.

The servant hurriedly stopped him, "You can't go in."

"Shen Guogong, the boy Gu Qing is here to pay a visit!" Gu Qing walked into the courtyard and shouted, "Shen Guogong!"

Shen Guogong, who was entertaining the court officials in front of him, had a very bad expression on his face, and everyone heard Gu Qing's shouting.

"Gu Qing, why are you here?"

"Gu Qing, you are so courageous, dare to send it to your door."

"Do you really think I'll be bullied by waiting..."

……

Everyone was discussing, Gu Qing walked in, "So you are all here, let me find it easily."

Originally, the staggered conversation became quiet, and a group of veteran officials were silent in front of Gu Qing, and the servants who came after Gu Qing also pulled Gu Qing, "Patriarch, this..."

"Go down." Gao Shilian was distressed.

Gu Qing walked into the room, and sat down very rudely, "Shen Guogong, the boy interrupted you abruptly. In fact, he didn't mean anything else but wanted to ask for a glass of wine."

Seeing that other people were about to leave, Gu Qing looked at these guys and said loudly: "Sit down! Do I let you go?"

Chapter 627 I'm so happy

Gu Qing took the drink and drank a glass, "Actually, His Majesty decreed that no banquets can be held in Chang'an City a few days ago. If His Majesty knew about this, how would His Majesty feel?"

Everyone's face turned blue.
