Li Twelve Niang's mansion is lit up today, and the guests are feasted.

Gu Shaolangjun, who had been absent for several years, returned to Chang'an today, a great event.

It was not dark yet, and there were a lot of carriages parked in the open space outside the house, Zhang Jiuzhang, Li Guangbi, Du Fu, Yan Zhenqing, Pei Min and other acquaintances came, and the most lively Zhang Huaijin jumped down from Zhang Jiuzhang's carriage and rushed to the house, shouting to see Brother Gu, but was stopped by Li Shiniang's female disciples.

Because Gu Qing was bathing.

"Catching the wind and washing the dust" is naturally to wash white when returning from a long trip. Zhang Huaijin pouted in disappointment, turned around and found Zhang Huaiyu again, chattering like a noisy sparrow.

Has Brother Gu changed, has Brother Gu been fat or thin, is Brother Gu still so angry when he speaks......

Half an hour later, Gu Qing, who had been bathed, walked to the front hall wearing a brand-new dark color robe.

The old people reunited, overjoyed, Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Guangbi dragged Gu Qing's arm left and right and laughed, Li Twelve Niang looked at Gu Qing's more and more robust body with a smile, and couldn't help but think of Gu Qing's father many years ago, Gu Qing, who had been baptized by Biansai, now looks more like his father.

"Well done! More than a year ago, I heard the Anxi military report, saying that you led your troops to kill 20,000 enemies, I was shocked, I couldn't see that you kid is such a bastard on weekdays, and it is not ambiguous at all to do the right thing, haha, better than your father, your father only killed a few thieves and thieves back then, and you killed 20,000 enemies as soon as you shot, and it was a dignified battle to protect the country. Li Guangbi patted Gu Qing's shoulder and laughed.

Gu Qing smiled humbly: "Uncle Li praised it falsely, in fact, when I led my troops to annihilate the enemy, I was so scared that I peed my crotch......"

The scene suddenly fell into a long silence

Li Guangbi and Zhang Jiuzhang looked at each other, and then Li Guangbi asked cautiously, "Are you really scared?" ”

Gu Qing said confusedly: "When others praise me, shouldn't I be humble?" It's my humility to be scared of pee, and it sounds very approachable......"

Everyone: "............"

Li Guangbi said slowly: "It's right to be modest, but you don't have to be so humble, I won't smoke you today, I rushed back to Chang'an, and it is not appropriate to be beaten at the door." ”

Gu Qing Zhengse said: "It's very inappropriate. ”

A delicate voice next to him forcibly interjected: "Are you all done talking?" It's my turn, it's my turn! ”

Li Guangbi and Zhang Jiuzhang dodged away, Zhang Huaijin jumped up like a mouse, jumped in front of Gu Qing and jumped suddenly, the whole person pounced on him, and the strong inertia hit Gu Qing and kicked back a few steps, fortunately, Gu Qing personally participated in the drill when he was in Anxi, and his body was relatively strong, otherwise Zhang Huaijin was enough to let him cover the white cloth and let the whole village eat.

"Brother Gu, do you miss me?" Zhang Huaijin asked loudly without shame.

Gu Qing glanced at everyone quickly, Zhang Huaiyu's expression was flat, and he didn't seem to be jealous, Zhang Jiuzhang smiled, looking relieved, and the rest of the people had a lively and playful expression.

Zhang Huaijin didn't care about the strange gazes of others, his head was drilled in his arms like a drilling rig, and his mouth kept asking, "Do you want me, don't you think about me".

Gu Qing had no choice but to reply loudly: "After thinking about it, stop it!" Come down quickly, and it will be unethical to hold it again. ”

Zhang Huaijin returned to the world at this time, turned his head and saw that everyone was staring at her, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue in fear, and quickly slipped out of Gu Qing and fell back to the ground.

"Brother Gu is really ruthless, I've been in Anxi for a few years and I haven't seen you write a letter back,......" Zhang Huaijin said dissatisfied.

Gu Qing said solemnly: "Although I didn't write a letter, I dreamed in the middle of the night, didn't you receive it?" ”

Zhang Huaijin was stunned: "Huh? Can you still dream? ”

"Of course you can dream, I told you a lot in my dreams, haven't you dreamed of me?"

Zhang Huaijin suddenly showed a look of annoyance: "I...... I saw you in my dream, but you didn't say anything to me in your dream. ”

Gu Qing sighed: "Maybe you're too stupid to receive my dreams, so you can't blame me for not writing a letter, you have to reflect on your own brain." ”

Zhang Huaijin stared at him suspiciously: "I always feel that you are lying to me." ”

Gu Qing was shocked, his IQ had improved, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to fool in the future.

Zhang Huaiyu stepped forward at this time, glared at him and said, "Okay, if you keep talking, Huaijin will really become more and more stupid." ”

The two sisters and Gu Qing stood together, and the picture looked very harmonious.

Li Guangbi, Zhang Jiuzhang and the others watched quietly, and Li Guangbi smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, it seems that the daughter of your Zhang family will definitely marry Gu Qing, but I don't know which one he will marry." ”

Li Twelve Niang smiled meaningfully: "Consensual or consensual, if they don't object, it's okay for two women to serve a husband together, the people of the Zhang family can't forcibly break them up, right?" There have been a lot of cases of sisters marrying a husband together in Datang, which is not shocking, Gu Qing is a dragon and phoenix, and marrying sisters together is also a good story. Uncle Zhang, are you right? ”

Zhang Jiuzhang pulled the corners of his mouth, and suddenly held his forehead and said: "I drank wine at noon today, and my stamina is so great, the old man is a little dizzy, hey, I am dizzy......"

After speaking, Zhang Jiuzhang staggered into the front hall alone.

Li Guangbi walked to Li Twelve Niang's side, bowed his chin at Zhang Jiuzhang's back, and said with a smile: "This old fox refuses to let go, for Gu Qing's lifelong event, Twelve Niang has to work harder." ”

Li Twelve Niang glanced at him and said, "Are you embarrassed to stand by and watch?" Have all the delicacies and wine in my house been fed to the dogs all these years? ”

Li Guangbi smiled dryly: "Of course I will help, and I will help ......"

Gu Qing greeted Du Fu, Yan Zhenqing, Pei Min and others again, and everyone stood in the front yard and chatted for a while before entering the front hall together.

That night, Li Fusheng sang and danced, the cups were staggered, the joy of reunion, and the wine was celebrated, but Gu Qing did not drink too much, everyone knew that he was going to go out of the city to Lishan to meet the Son of Heaven tomorrow morning, so they were very interested in not pouring his wine.

As for Gu Qing's demotion and transfer to the rank of General of the Right Guard, everyone didn't take the initiative to mention it, they all knew that the matter was very complicated, and everything would be talked about after Gu Qing came back from Lishan.

…………

Early the next morning, before dawn, Gu Qing was woken up by the maid in the house, who softly reminded him that it was time to go out.

Under the service of the maid, Gu Qing dressed and washed, drank a bowl of porridge at will, and ate two flour cakes, because he gave Han Jie and other guards a vacation, there was no one to escort him, Li Twelve Niang sent more than a dozen female disciples to escort him out of the city to Lishan.

Chang'an City is only more than 60 miles away from Lishan, and it is very easy to reach it by horseback.

Gu Qing came to the foot of Lishan Mountain, handed the waist card to the guards, and soon a eunuch came down the mountain and told His Majesty Gu Qing to summon it.

Hike up the mountain and come to the Huaqing Palace, where Li Longji summoned him in the Yichun Pavilion in the palace.

Outside the gate of the Yichun Pavilion Palace, Gu Qing very solemnly tidied up his clothes, and then entered the hall in addition to his sword.

The Yichun Pavilion is as warm as spring, and there are several large copper furnaces in the hall, and the charcoal fire inside is burning vigorously. Li Longji was dressed in a single shirt, sitting on the main seat and looking at him with a smile.

Gu Qing walked a few steps quickly, stood ten steps away from Li Longji, and bowed respectfully.

"Minister Gu Qing, please see Your Majesty."

Li Longji laughed: "Gu Qing Mo Duoli, come forward quickly, let me take a good look at you." ”

Gu Qing took two steps forward as he said.

Li Longji said unhappily: "Come forward!" I have said, don't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, it is for outsiders to see, do you still need to pay attention to the courtesy between me and you? Come to me. ”

Gu Qing sighed secretly.

Knowing that the emperor in front of him is dim, selfish and conceited, but it is undeniable that his personal charm is indeed unparalleled, and a simple sentence makes people can't help but have thoughts of liver and brain.

So Gu Qing stepped forward and didn't stop until he walked in front of Li Longji.

Li Longji looked at him with a smile, and beat his chest very affectionately, and then laughed: "Xiao Langjun, who was weak and couldn't help the wind back then, is now a strong and powerful man, and sure enough, the wind and sand at the border can temper the man's mind and physique, and after three years, Gu Qing's physique is more robust." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for letting the minister fight on the border back then, the minister has gained a lot in Anxi in recent years, and this experience is the most precious memory of the minister's life."

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? Gu Qing said, let's see, what you have gained in the past few years. ”

"Anxi and Chang'an are completely two worlds, the minister has experienced the deepest in Anxi in recent years is the suffering of the border army, the Anxi army has paid too much in order to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and his parents, wives and children have not seen each other for many years, food, clothing and housing are extremely hard, and they must always guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, if they die in battle, it is difficult to even return to their hometown for burial, and they can only die in a foreign land......"

Li Longji's smile gradually faded, his expression became serious, and he sighed gloomily.

Gu Qing lowered his head and said: "Although the minister is no longer the envoy of the Anxi Festival, the hardships of the soldiers are clearer than anyone else, so the minister wants to ask His Majesty to treat the border army well, the Anxi soldiers are too bitter, can Your Majesty allocate some food as appropriate to reward the three armies." ”

Li Longji said slowly: "What Gu Qing said is very good, I will issue an order tomorrow to let Yang Guozhong raise some grain and grass to allocate to Anxi, and then allocate some silver money, so that Anxi officials can buy the herdsmen's pigs and mutton on the spot, and ...... In terms of casualty compensation, we might as well raise it a little more, and the imperial court can't let the soldiers on the border feel cold. ”

Gu Qing bowed and said, "The ministers of Anxi thank Your Majesty for your kindness." ”

Li Longji smiled again: "You are not in his position, but you are still seeking his own government, Gu Qing is a kind-hearted person." ”

Gu Qing lowered his head and said: "People's hearts are long, the ministers rely on the grace of His Majesty, and they are rich and noble all their lives, but the border army is too bitter, and the ministers have led the Anxi Army for several years, and their bitter ministers see it in their eyes, and now that they see Your Majesty, the ministers can't pretend to turn a blind eye with a clear conscience." ”

Li Longji snorted and asked coldly, "I suddenly transferred you back to Chang'an from Anxi, don't you hate me?" ”

Gu Qing glanced at him weakly, quickly lowered his head, and said: "How dare the minister hate Your Majesty, it was the minister who caused trouble in Anxi, and His Majesty didn't cut the minister with a knife, it is already unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and the minister is guilty." ”

Li Longji's tone suddenly sharpened: "You also know that you are in trouble? ”
