If the emperor is a profession, the nature is actually similar to that of a modern workplace boss.

Private enterprises are responsible for their own profits and losses, the boss is conscientious and conscientious in the early days of entrepreneurship, and then the company has developed and grown, making more and more money, and the boss has gradually become lazy, and always feels that his eyes are closed, people are gone, and the money is cheap to others, howling. So take advantage of the company's profitability to enjoy life, so the boss decided to set up a board of directors and hire professional managers to take care of the company, he only needs to seize the company's personnel rights.

The old chairman retreated to the background, the professional manager helped him deal with the daily work, the once conscientious boss in the enterprise gradually became a symbolic form of existence, not only that, the boss also bought holiday villas in various places, every year with his little wife who is dozens of years younger than himself out for a long vacation, hot springs......

Like all big business owners who have successfully cultivated unique greasy hobbies such as skewers, fishing, and buying teams, this big boss has a more exclusive hobby, he plays art, and he also composed "The Song of Neon Clothes and Feathers......

That's probably the way to win in life.

However, the boss took his little wife out on vacation, but he wanted to bring Gu Qing, a little employee, which made Gu Qing a little puzzled, the old husband and young wife soaked in the hot spring in Huaqing Pond, showed affection, and by the way, fed dog food to Gu Qing, a single dog in two lifetimes?

Gu Qing couldn't help but speculate on Li Longji's intentions with the worst malice.

"What's going on with that?" Zhang Jiuzhang woke up Gu Qing with a word: "It is the glory of the courtiers to order you to accompany the car, this time Your Majesty visited the Huaqing Palace, and only named your name, although it was invited by the noble concubine, but Your Majesty obviously values you very much, this time you should behave well with the Huaqing Palace, listen more and watch less words, and don't make mistakes." ”

Gu Qing sighed: "I'm a person who has just recovered from a serious injury, and I'm just a long history of the left guard, what can I do when I go to Huaqing Palace with me?" ”

Zhang Jiuzhang pointed at him and said with a wry smile: "The four words 'Jane is in the emperor's heart', how many courtiers and officials have difficulty doing it in their lifetime, you are young and close to the water, and you are still not happy?" What a wasted opportunity. ”

Gu Qing smiled and didn't explain.

After dealing with Li Longji a few times, Gu Qing gradually saw Li Longji's character.

The so-called "Jane in the emperor's heart" is a self-comforting excuse for people who are not willing, with Li Longji's character, I am afraid that he will not trust any courtier too much, even if he can remember you, you are just a chess piece in his hand that is about to fall, whether you need you, where to use you on the chessboard, there are his own considerations, the chess piece is just a chess piece after all, and the person holding the chess will not be complacent about placing it on any position on the chessboard.

Seeing that Gu Qing was silent, Zhang Jiuzhang changed the topic.

"The story of the Three Kingdoms that you and Huai Jin said, it is quite interesting, Huai Jin wrote down the stories you said, the old man was fortunate to have a look, and he saw Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande cooking wine about heroes, I have to say, your talent is out of the old man's expectations again and again, last night the old man read Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" again, compared your story of the Three Kingdoms, although the story you said is quite fictional, but it is basically in line with the historical facts of the Three Kingdoms, before driving to the Huaqing Palace, you and Huaijin said a few more chapters, and it is good to solve the old man's greed."

Gu Qing smiled humbly: "My nephew just made up a story to coax Huaijin, is the second uncle also interested?" ”

Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "Nonsense can be made up so reasonable and vivid and interesting, it can be seen that you are talented, in the story you said, the chaos of the Three Kingdoms is told, the strategy of the scribes, the blood and courage of the generals, the fierceness of the heroes, and the turmoil in the world are all in the story, whether the strategists use tactics, or the generals fight, they are fascinating everywhere, and people can't bear to release the volume......"

Gu Qing was speechless, he didn't expect that someone in Datang would urge the change, and it was one of the nine kings in the court who urged the change.

In other words, do you want to charge Zhang Jiuzhang? Don't need money, just give meat to eat.

"Tell this story well, the old man feels that the story you said is not simple, in comparison, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" is inevitably much thinner, and in the story you said, those strategists used tricks, it is worth thinking about, the old man has instructed Huaijin Haosheng to collect the manuscript, and in the future, the old man will personally polish it, and then engrave it into a book, and the name of the text should shake the world again."

…………

Gu Qing honestly recuperated his injuries in Zhang Jiuzhang's mansion.

A few days later, the injury on Gu Qing's body was basically healed, the back was a flesh injury, and it was good to heal it, but the serious thing was the knife in the thigh, stabbing himself This kind of thing, Gu Qing is inexperienced, the knife that pierced the thigh did not control the force, obviously the piercing was deeper, not only the pain was terrible, but it was also very troublesome to treat.

On the eighth day, Gu Qing was able to barely limp to the ground with Zhang Huaijin's support.

It was also on this day that Gu Qing finally ate the roast leg of lamb that he had been longing for.

For eating, Gu Qing is very particular about eating, and he will never wronged himself. After learning that he could eat meat, Gu Qing rushed to the kitchen as soon as possible, staring at the Zhang family's cook's roast leg of lamb with burning eyes.

Under Gu Qing's gaze, the Zhang family's chef was very nervous, and his skills seemed to be a little abnormal, and Gu Qing found that the preparation before roasting the leg of lamb was missed by the chef.

Gu Qing was immediately displeased, how could the first meal of meat in many days be ruined by the cook?

"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Gu Qing unceremoniously pushed the cook aside and started the operation himself.

"The meat should be marinated with salt and spices in advance, and a few cuts should be made along the texture of the meat to facilitate the salt and spices to ......absorb the flavor," Gu Qing said as he operated, gently stroking a white leg of lamb with peeled white flowers, and his eyes were so affectionate that he looked at a lover who had been in love for many years.

The cook shuddered by Gu Qing's affectionate gaze, and then couldn't help but reflect on his mistakes, could it be that because he lacked the enthusiasm for treating food like a lover, his cooking skills could not break through the bottleneck and could not improve for a long time?

But...... Isn't it a bit perverted to be too affectionate to a lump of white flesh?

“…… Next, sprinkle a little wine on the leg of lamb and seal it for half an hour, so that after roasting, it can remove the smell and make the meat more tender. ”

Zhang Huaijin held Gu Qing's arm and looked at Gu Qing's side face curiously, the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

Although Brother Gu is not festive enough, his side face is still very handsome, especially when he focuses on doing things, he looks more and more charming.

But...... Why does he like Sister A, not her?

Zhang Huaijin was very distressed, she suddenly felt that she had grown up and had the sorrow that only adults have.

"Brother Gu, you went back to Qingcheng County last time to meet Sister A, is Sister okay?" Zhang Huaijin asked with a wink.

Gu Qing's attention was completely on the leg of mutton, and he said absentmindedly: "It's okay, it's okay, your sister is still white and tender, but it's a pity that it's not pickled, and it's perfect to sprinkle some spices......"

"What did Brother Gu say!" Zhang Huaijin stomped his feet and said, "I'm asking about Sister A, not a leg of mutton." ”

Gu Qing reluctantly came back to his senses: "Did I say something wrong?" Your sister is as white and tender as a leg of mutton. ”

"Not really!" Zhang Huaijin stomped his feet again dissatisfied, and saw that the cook on the side was holding his ears and gossiping, Zhang Huaijin kicked the cook and drove him out of the kitchen.

"What I'm asking is, did something happen to you and my sister? I always feel that after you returned to Chang'an, your expression when you mentioned Sister A was different from before. ”

Speaking of sad things, Gu Qing suddenly felt that the leg of mutton in front of him was not fragrant, and sighed faintly: "I asked your sister to marry, and the scene was so wavelike, but it turned out to be rejected by your sister, Sister Huaijin, let me tell you, your sister may not be normal, and it is impossible for a normal woman to refuse a masterpiece like me, for example, if I ask you to marry now, will you agree to marry me?" ”

Zhang Huaijin heard Gu Qing and Sister A's proposal, her heart sank, and then heard that Sister A rejected Gu Qing, although it was a sad thing, but she didn't know why she was secretly happy in her heart, and finally heard Gu Qing ask for her to kiss, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her pretty face was as red as a ripe peach.

"I, I, I...... I'll say yes. Zhang Huaijin lowered his head and whispered, turned around shyly after speaking, covered his face with both hands, and kept stomping his feet on the spot.

Gu Qing regarded her shyness as nothing, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Heh, you want to be beautiful." ”

Zhang Huaijin's shy expression suddenly froze as if he had been caught in a frozen magic.

Gu Qing spread his hands and said, "Look, how could a normal woman reject a talent like me?" For example, you behave normally, but your sister actually rejected me, and you said that her aesthetics have been distorted to such an appalling point? In another thousand years, a mental illness like your sister will be cured! ”

Zhang Huaijin has mixed feelings in his heart.

I want to cry, I want to get angry, I want to beat someone......

Gu Qing didn't notice her distracted expression, Gu Qing had already noticed Zhang Huaijin's thoughts, but he didn't take it to heart, in his heart, Zhang Huaijin was just a little girl, where did he understand the love and love of adults, the love of little girls is blindly impulsive and changeable, Gu Qing, as an adult who has lived for two lifetimes, how could he take the young girl's love seriously?

In terms of feelings, Gu Qing is so dull that he can't do it, and he has a Zhang Huaiyu in his heart who is tired enough, where can he tolerate Zhang Huaijin.

Gu Qing patted Zhang Huaijin on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Your sister is sick, you have to help me persuade her, and when you have time to write a letter to her with your tone, persuade her to accept me quickly, don't be hypocritical, by the way, I will send you a poem for free, this poem is also written in the letter, 'The flower can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches', you persuade Sister A, quickly fold my delicate flower, I am afraid of change, and I will cheapen others in vain." ”

Zhang Huaijin was angry, turned his back to him, and said in a cold tone: "Why should I help you?" ”

Gu Qing pushed her and said angrily: "Don't make trouble! You are my future sister-in-law, if you don't help me, who will help me? Be obedient and write tonight. ”

Zhang Huaijin was secretly bitter, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help crying.

After entrusting a lifelong event, Gu Qing's mood became more and more relaxed, and his attention returned to the leg of mutton, and the more he looked at it, the more fragrant it became.

"Eat a roast leg of lamb? When it's baked, I'll leave you with the most tender piece. Gu Qing said while marinating the leg of mutton.

Zhang Huaijin still had his back to him, he didn't squeak, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.

Gu Qing raised his voice dissatisfiedly: "What about you, do you eat or not?" If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all by myself, you don't want to be hungry for me. ”

Zhang Huaijin, who was sad, subconsciously blurted out when he heard this: "Eat!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Huaijin was stunned, his sad thoughts were messed up, and he had to secretly hate his own incompetence.

Gu Qing didn't know that Zhang Huaijin's mental journey at the moment was so complicated that he could write a book of 200,000 words, and the vigorous love and hatred in this book finally succumbed to food, so spineless scum......

"If you want to eat roast leg of lamb, you have to make a little contribution, go to your family's ice cellar and steal some chilled grapes to make it, don't be discovered by your second ancestor, otherwise we will both be punished."

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Huaijin happily agreed, and was about to jump out of the kitchen, but after a stunned expression, Zhang Huaijin was shocked to realize that his mood at the moment should not be sad and sad by love?

Suddenly full of disgust for myself, life is really discouraged, so depressed......

Looking at Zhang Huaijin's departing back, the corners of Gu Qing's mouth twitched slightly.

Without tribulation, without wind and rain, how can love be unforgettable?

Zhang Huaijin doesn't understand this truth.

The charcoal fire was set up in the courtyard outside the kitchen, the furnace was burning red, Gu Qing carefully and cautiously turned the leg of mutton, the white and tender leg of mutton was roasted by the charcoal fire, and the oil was dripping down, gradually, the two sides were already golden yellow, and the yard exuded a burst of rich meat fragrance, attracting the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion to peep secretly from a distance.

Zhang Huaijin stared absentmindedly at the leg of mutton flipped on the charcoal fire, his hands on his cheeks, his eyes were empty, and his soul did not know where to go.

"'Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches'......" Zhang Huaijin muttered and recited to himself: "Brother Gu is really talented, and a casual sentence is a good sentence...... That's right, Brother Gu is so talented, a normal woman really won't refuse him, alas, how could Sister ......"

Suddenly, Zhang Huaijin slapped his thigh violently, there was a crisp sound, the force was not controlled, Zhang Huaijin sighed, his eyes suddenly burst into tears, and his small mouth deflated aggrievedly.

Gu Qing was taken aback, the leg of mutton in his hand almost fell to the ground and was destroyed, he looked at her in shock, and pointed at her with a fierce look: "Warn you for the first time, if you dare to scare me again, you will not be spared." ”

Zhang Huaijin wiped away his tears, then straightened up his small chest, which was not very full, and stared at Gu Qing with a serious expression: "Brother Gu, I have decided!" ”

"Decide what?"

"I decided...... Defeat Sister! When Zhang Huaijin said this, his expression was full of divine brilliance, and he was as serious as a soldier sharpening his knife before the war.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at her, immediately returned his attention to the leg of mutton, and said lightly: "It's not that I look down on you, you may not be able to beat your sister, we can't beat the two of us together." ”

"Oh, it's not the kind of 'hit' you say!"

"You can't do it with your bare hands or weapons." Gu Qing unceremoniously made up for it.

"It's not!" Zhang Huaijin was angry: "I mean, I want to defeat Sister A and take your heart away from Sister A!" ”

"So, you're still going to fight?"

"It's not the kind of fight you say!"

"Then tell me, how are you going to fight?"

Zhang Huaijin was stunned, yes, how to defeat Sister A?

Then Zhang Huaijin jumped to his feet angrily: "I don't care!" Anyway, I'm going to defeat Sister! Ahh You're mine! ”

"The leg of lamb is cooked, whew! Come and eat! ”

"Oh."

…………

After ten days of recuperation, Gu Qing's injuries have basically healed, his thighs still have some pain, and it is slightly inconvenient to walk, but there is no major problem.

In the early morning of the tenth day, Chang'an City from Xingqing Palace to Chunming Gate, all the way to clear the street and sweep the dust, the Yulin guards wear armor, the flag is displayed, the golden royal chariot slowly sets off from the palace gate, the emperor travels, the honor guard is over 10,000, and the Hu is like a cloud.

Gu Qing sat in the carriage, his carriage fell at the end of Li Longji's honor guard, compared with those golden and luxurious honor guards, the gray canopy carriage Gu Qing was riding in was particularly abrupt, like a mouse scurrying around under the crotch of a group of cats, with a faint shame......

Along the way, you can hear the faint shouts of praise from the people, and express their admiration and gratitude to this emperor who created a prosperous era from the bottom of their hearts.

Gu Qing listened to the cheers and praises of the people from afar, and his mood was a little complicated.

No matter how mediocre and unbearable this emperor was in his later years, he finally created a prosperous era that shined in the history of Chinese civilization for the next thousand years. His mistakes and stupidity could not cover up his brilliant achievements after all.

I hope that my arrival can save this prosperous era that is about to pass.

The guard of honor traveled, Yu Linwei and the left guard soldiers opened the road and closed the road, from Chang'an City to Lishan, all the way to the mighty, the team guard of honor was as long as ten miles, and there were countless civil and military generals and eunuchs who accompanied the car.

After walking for most of the day, it was almost evening, and finally arrived at the foot of Li Mountain.

There were already palace manpower who prepared the soft chariot, and after Li Longji and Yang Guifei got the royal chariot at the foot of the mountain, they boarded the soft chariot and were carried up the mountain by the wrestlers.

Gu Qing was also assigned a soft pocket, and the wrestler who carried him walked vigorously and rhythmically towards the mountain.

An hour later, finally stopped in front of the Huaqing Palace, Li Longji and Yang Guifei were sent off by the civil and military courtiers and palace soldiers, and the two entered the Jinyang Gate, the main gate of the palace, hand in hand.

It wasn't until Li Longji and Yang Guifei went in for a long time that Gu Qing got the message of the eunuchs, and the courtiers and servants could enter the palace.
