A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Page 407

When the food and wine were on the table, Gu Qing said to himself, "Tell me, what does your Zhao family mean?"

"That's right." The scholar continued in a low tone, "This time, it's not what the Guanlong Zhao family meant, but the second son of the Zhao family. The second son wants to inherit the position of the Zhao family in Guanlong."

"I understand." After drinking a sip of wine, Gu Qing nodded and said, "You mean that your second son wants to inherit the Zhao family's family business, but your second son still has an eldest son, right?"

"Yes!" The scholar nodded.

"I'm thinking about it." Gu Qing took a bite of the food, "You want to use my hand to create pressure on Guan Long, so that something will happen to the Zhao family in Guan Long, and then the second son you mentioned is taking advantage of the situation, right?"

"That's right." The scholar also poured himself a bowl of wine, "There have been turmoil in the change of dynasties in the past dynasties, big or small without exception! In fact, the same is true for the powerful, the second son hopes to make Guan Long mess up, As long as Gu County Marquis is willing to make a move, the Second Young Master will definitely report back, so don't worry, Marquis."

Gu Qing thought about it while eating the food and wine, "Are you a guest of the second son of the Zhao family?"

"Exactly?!"

"Aren't you afraid that if you work so hard, I will go to Zhao's house and report on you?"

"Anyway, it's already like this. It's a well-known thing. Sometimes a conspiracy is better than a conspiracy. It's fine if Gu Xianhou doesn't help. If it's not a bad thing to report and self-defeating, our second son has plenty of means."

"Is your second son very powerful?" Gu Qing wondered.

"Very smart." The scholar nodded.

"What's your name."

"Under Jia Zhengjing."

"Cough cough cough..." A sip of wine choked his throat, and Gu Qing asked again, "What's your name?"

"Under Jia is serious." He emphasized again.

"What a good name!" Gu Qing slapped the table and said, "Just take your name as a joke, come on! Let's do one."

Jia Zhengjing smiled and took a sip, "Master Hou, can we do our business?"

"I want to refuse." Gu Qing nodded.

"Why?" Jia Zhengjing emphasized his tone, "Does Gu Xianhou want to dismantle the Guanlongmen Clan?"

"Yes!"

"Then why don't we join hands? We coincidentally agree? The second son also hopes that the Guanlong clan who has been silent for so many years can become chaotic."

"I don't need to join forces with your second son." Gu Qing said leisurely, "Your second son is smart, of course I like dealing with smart people, but I don't like my opponent who is too smart. The second son of your family gathers the forces of various families and controls the entire Guanlong with one hand, and has the power of soldiers in his hands."

"You are not teaming up, you are using me!" I said again, "When the time comes, your second son will become so powerful in Guanlong, and even threaten Guanzhong? Why should I create a disaster for myself? This deal is not worth it , although I want to bring down your family, but now I want to kill your second son even more."

Chapter 462 A Dilemma in the World

There were people coming and going in the tavern, and the noisy environment seemed to cover up their voices very well. The scholar from Guanlong, Jia Zhengjing, sat up straight, "Mr. Gu, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

"No misunderstanding." Gu Qing smiled and looked at the other party.

"Our second son never thought of becoming an enemy of Gu County Marquis." He emphasized again.

Putting down the wine bowl in his hand, Gu Qing missed the feeling of drinking with Cheng Yaojin, "Whether it is an enemy or not has never been said by mouth, it depends on what you two young masters do."

"I would also like to ask Gu Xianhou to enlighten me." Jia Zhengjing bowed slightly.

"Let's put it this way." Gu Qing lowered his tone, "I don't need to take action at all if you want to settle your Guanlong clan. The one in the palace will not let the clan grow bigger. He wants the clan to disappear from the Central Plains. As for why, Li Tangjiangshan We can all see how we got started, right?"

Jia Zheng nodded.

"Then let me make it clearer." Gu Qing said together, "When the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan rose up, he was not one of the biggest forces in the Guanlong Clan, but rather weak! If the Li family could take this position, others would No, you can sit in that position, and your Zhao family is more powerful than the Li family at that time. Out of the selfishness of an emperor, even in the Central Plains hundreds of years later, even if the person sitting on the throne is a fool, he He also wouldn't think about handing over Jiangshan to someone whose surname is not Li, even if Jiangshan is rotten, as long as Jiangshan's surname is Li! So the one in the palace will definitely try his best to eliminate all hidden dangers to Jiangshan."

Jia Zhengjing was very calm when he heard the words, and took a sip of wine.

"Now you understand what I mean? If I join forces with your Zhao family, I will be asking for trouble." Gu Qing chuckled, "Why don't you abandon your second son and follow me!"

"Is there no possibility for the Guanlong clan to survive?" Jia Zhengjing raised his head suddenly, "I don't believe that the one in the palace will kill them all."

Gu Qing smiled contemptuously, "You think of him too kindly."

"Your statement is a dead end!" Jia Zhengjing continued: "The person in the power palace of the Guanlongmen Clan must know that if he wants to move, he must use weapons, and he dares to risk chaos in the world to deal with the Guanlongmen Clan!? Gu Qing, if you keep saying that he will not let the Guanlong Clan exist, then he is trying to make the world chaotic!"

"Nonsense, good words, bad words, I've said almost all of them." Gu Qing put away his fan and stood up, "Let me go, take your time."

Jia Zhengjing was thinking about Gu Qing's words, and he was a little confused. Did he follow the wrong person for so many years? If Gu Qing was right, the second son of the Zhao family is now on his way to a dead end, and Lin Li, the opposite party in the palace, has reached a certain point. It was intolerable, the second young master wanted to win over all the powerful families and dominate the family, and such behavior was even more unacceptable by the emperor.

Is the emperor benevolent?Thinking of this, Jia Zhengjing shuddered. How many emperors in the past dynasties were benevolent, how did Li Shimin sit on the throne? Many people know this well. Even though he is doing well now, he is still a ruthless person. Well, Gu Qing is sitting on such a big business, Li Shimin can tolerate him because Gu Qing is not greedy for power.

A Shang Shuling only went to court a few times in a few months, and Li Shimin indulged him like this because Li Shimin felt that he needed someone who was not ambitious but capable.

Such a person is also the easiest to live like a fish in water under the feet of the emperor.

The fat monk had been waiting for Gu Qing at the gate of Chang'an City early on, and he had been waiting here for Gu Qing since the report came.

Walking on the street, Gu Qing saw a handsome fat monk reciting scriptures by the side of the road.

"Stop pretending." Walking to his side, Gu Qing said to him, "Have Guan Long's eyeliner been sent in?"

"It's hard." The fat monk held the rosary in his hand, "People in the Guanlong area are very afraid of outsiders. It's not easy for our people to go in, but there are some new faces in Chang'an. Once these people enter Chang'an, they don't do anything. Post houses, eat in taverns, spend money everywhere to make friends."

Gu Qing smiled knowingly and nodded, "It seems that these people are not kind,"

"It's not bad." The fat monk nodded, "I've already set my sights on them, and my people have already made friends with them."

"Keep an eye on it." Gu Qing said.

"Benefactor, don't worry." The fat monk gave Gu Qing a look, "Go home and wait for now."

After receiving the gaze Gu Qing looked around, there was indeed someone staring at him and said with a smile, "Thank you, master, for your guidance."

Walking all the way home, so many new faces came to Chang'an, Gu Qing suspected in his heart that most of the powerful people came to the capital to inquire about news and stare at his movements, so he quickened his pace and left here.

When he came to his village, Yang Sheng was sitting at the entrance of the village. This guy also liked a kind of exercise called daze recently.

"Recently, I'm studying a set of long-lost martial art." Gu Qing sat beside Yang Sheng.

"Hehehe..." Yang Sheng smiled dryly, "It's that palm technique that soars to the sky again?"

"No and no." Gu Qing shook his head, "There is a very advanced set of kung fu in the legend, called Awei Eighteen Styles."

"Do you have this kind of kung fu? Tell me about it." Yang Sheng became interested.

"This thing is a long story." Gu Qing looked at him and continued, "On weekdays you like to be in a daze in front of my master, why are you here at the entrance of the village now?"

"A lot of strangers came to the village." Yang Sheng spat out the grass roots in his mouth, "A group of guys came to the village and brought a lot of food, and distributed it to the children in the village. They did good deeds, and they knew that the other party came for no reason, right? , thinking that they must have a purpose, but what they do is a good thing, and they can't drive them away, it's really annoying."
