In mid-November, Qiao Huai'an, Minister of State Auxiliary, went to the Imperial Historical Observatory to discuss with Gu Qingxuan about the promulgation of the decree governing commerce.

When Qiao Huai'an arrived, Gu Qingxuan had not yet arrived, it turned out that after the early dynasty, Gu Qingxuan was summoned to the imperial study to discuss with the emperor for a long time, so he came to sign late.

Qiao Huai'an was indifferent, just waiting in the outer court of the Yushitai, observing and observing this place where he had dedicated his career as an official eunuch for many years, now it is different from the past, Gu Qingxuan's governance of the Yushitai is obviously much better than Yin Jiheng.

He himself is no longer what he used to be.

has been hiding in this place for many years, but he was pushed to the forefront by that person and became the minister of state with the highest status......

This Yushitai has become the world of that person.

High, high.

It turned out that he had long known himself and was afraid of himself......

Qiao Huai'an looked at it, and the position of the imperial historian on the main hall of the imperial history platform was empty, and he was afraid that it had fallen into the dust.

And he was thinking, this is a really good position.

A signator came to report that Gu Qingxuan had arrived.

originally invited him to enter the Zhongcheng Mansion to make tea for a while, but he went out directly and met Gu Qingxuan, who had just entered the outer court of the Imperial Historical Tower.

Gu Qingxuan hurriedly walked inside, while lowering his head to pin the black mourning cloth on his sleeve, the Gu family is still in mourning, except for the previous dynasty to enter the palace to take off the mourning cloth, it would be too rude not to wear it at other times.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Qiao Huai'an standing outside the main hall of the Imperial Court where the two of them had worked together, the two looked at each other and smiled, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The lower official has seen Lord Guofu, and I ask for forgiveness for being late." If you have something to summon your subordinates, how dare you condescend to Lord Lao?"

Qiao Huai'an saw his polite and cautious appearance inexplicably found it interesting, and couldn't help but wonder, how can a person talk such a polite and humble officialdom so without being humble?

No one can do it.

Unless he is Gu Qingxuan.

Qiao Huai'an returned the salute normally, without showing his emotions: "Gu Zhongcheng doesn't need to be polite, everyone knows that Gu Zhongcheng is a busy man, if he wants to summon you, won't he miss your business if it's not the right time......?"

As he spoke, he was suddenly attracted by several guards behind Gu Qingxuan, these were all bodyguards assigned by the imperial court to officials, and they followed Gu Qingxuan every inch since he went out.

Gu Qingxuan glanced back and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Huaian laughed inexplicably, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little surprised that Gu Zhongcheng also needs so many guards to protect him?"

The expression in Gu Qingxuan's eyes changed subtly, with a smile on his face as usual, and replied: "The Immortal Sect is in chaos, everyone in Chang'an City is in danger, and Gu is also afraid of death. But...... According to the grade, Lord Kunisuke should have more bodyguards, why don't you see one?"

Qiao Huaian brushed his sleeves and smiled: "There has never been a disaster in this world, and there is no innocent and honest person in the world, so he can be safe, why do you need to hug the iron armor to protect you? Qiao Mou thought, I should still be safe, isn't it? Gu Zhongcheng?"

Gu Qingxuan crossed paths with his gaze, secretly wondering the meaning of his words in his heart, and only responded: "My lord is frank and naturally fearless." Kokusuke-sama has been in the government hall for a long time, and he should be able to know who is most afraid of this invisible and untouchable immortal sect at this time. ”

Qiao Huai'an smiled and said nothing, the two entered the Zhongcheng public house, the guards were guarding outside the door, Gu Qingxuan invited him to take a seat, the two began to discuss official affairs, paperwork, and Gu Qingxuan personally wrote the official decree.

Two meticulous people, meticulous and meticulous, a discussion is a morning. This was the first time that they had worked together for such a long time, and it was strange that two people with completely different methods, two very assertive people, were extremely harmonious, and there were almost no differences in the policy of administering business, and they were even more identical in the arrangement of officials, and their cognition was complementary.

In the meantime, there are constantly people coming to Gu Qingxuan to ask for things, all of them are important, and there are more people who dare not come in and disturb them unless they are urgent, Gu Qingxuan can always solve things in a few words, deal with problems skillfully and easily, and the discussion of government decrees has not been interrupted.

Qiao Huai admired Gu Qingxuan's super high ability with peace of mind, and after everything was decided, he chatted with Gu Qingxuan about the benefits of the business reform decree.

"Now Prime Minister Yin is wholeheartedly engaged in the commercial reform, and thanks to him who is in charge of the overall situation, the commercial reform can be so smooth......" Speaking of Yin Jiheng, Qiao Huaian sincerely admired.

"The Prime Minister is a great contribution, and the two Kokusuke Lords are also indispensable. Gu Qingxuan said while writing the decree: "Master Qiao is really a talent of warp and weft, the high efficiency of governing the country and administration is really amazing, and Qin Guofu has deep qualifications and prestige, and he is able to be virtuous and appropriate." This has achieved such a smooth situation, there are three adults in the political hall, the rectification and reform of business will be very effective, and I will make the country rich and strong. ”

I don't know why, whether he is sincere or not, he always does not hesitate to praise in front of Qiao Huai'an.

Qiao Huai'an is not a person who is very useful when he hears good words, he sits there, his posture is casual, and he is not as natural as others to be humble, and only looks at Gu Qingxuan with a smile.

Gu Qingxuan noticed something, and after writing the last word, he put down the pen and raised his head, looking at him suspiciously.

Qiao Huai'an opened his mouth to speak, and asked inexplicably, "Is Gu Zhongcheng boasting?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, then lowered his head and took out the seal to stamp on the official document, handed it to the paperwork, and asked him to take it out and bind it.

After the paperwork left, there were only the two of them left in the hall, and Qiao Huaian continued: "If you want to say that the people in the political affairs hall are competent for their duties, isn't it because Gu Zhongcheng you chose people properly? ”

Gu Qingxuan put away the imperial history Taichung Cheng Dayin, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, facing Qiao Huai'an, who could see so clearly, he had no choice but to be calm, smiled and brushed his hands and said: "I have won the award, Lord Qiao, Gu has just done some small things, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”

"Some small measures can change the business and politics of a country, if you use all your strength...... Then Qiao really can't think about it. ”

Gu Qingxuan felt that Qiao Huai'an was seeing through him more and more, but he couldn't understand Qiao Huai'an more and more, so Gu Qingxuan was noncommittal, and he didn't explain much, he was polite, and said a sentence that sounded like a mist in the clouds: "No matter how hard you try, as long as Lord Guofu understands, Gu Mou always has the same intention as adults, all for Daqi, for Your Majesty......"

Qiao Huai'an snorted a few times, stopped looking at him, got up, and wanted to leave, Gu Qingxuan left his seat and respectfully sent him off.

Sent all the way to the main gate of the Yushitai, Qiao Huaian looked at him in a blink of an eye, and caught a glimpse of the black cloth on his cuffs, his eyes showing sadness.

"Does Gu Zhongcheng know, before Prince Jin decided to marry your family, Qiao had dissuaded him......

Gu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, didn't ask the reason, and just waited for him to say.

Qiao Huaian then sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, Qiao still wants to persuade Gu Zhongcheng to say that the benevolent side will last forever, and the common people have their own way, and they can't be forced, but I'm afraid that the chess player is also a person in the game, the cycle of cause and effect, who will God forgive?"
