Gu Qing is just an eighth-grade petty official, although he is an official, but he actually doesn't even touch the side of the Tang Dynasty, at most he is a peripheral man.

So he didn't understand why he just sent a jar of wine into the palace, Li Longji avenged himself so happily, and Lu Chengping was no more and no less in prison for three days, just like him.

Of course, Gu Qing would not feel good about himself so much that he thought that Li Longji looked at him well, and held him in the palm of his hand to take care of him.

Gu Qing didn't understand, but some people here did.

Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Guangbi are both old birds in officialdom, and when they touch it carefully, they immediately taste the taste.

The two quickly glanced at each other, and Zhang Jiuzhang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's punishment of Lu Chengping may have nothing to do with Gu Qing......"

Li Guangbi nodded: "Lu Xuan has been a bit flamboyant in the past two years, and the Son of Heaven may be dissatisfied." ”

Zhang Jiuzhang continued: "It is more likely to knock Li Xiang behind Lu Xuan, Li Xiang and the East Palace are now out of balance in the court, Li is pressing on the East Palace step by step, Your Majesty can't see it......"

Li Guangbi showed a playful smile: "The two young people just had a fight, but it led to such a string of things, even Li Xiang was involved, that Lu Chengping came out of the left guard prison three days later, I'm afraid his father will break his legs." ”

Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "Look at how Li Xiang will react tomorrow, outsiders can see things that can be understood, it is impossible for Li Xiang not to know." ”

Li Guangbi smiled badly: "Maybe Li Xiang's condition will get worse again...... More likely to resign, even if it's pretending. ”

Zhang Jiuzhang said: "The aggravation of the condition can be regarded as a solution, if Li Xiangruo is not old and confused, he should know how to advance and retreat." It is unlikely that Li Xiangxiang will leave power, and the crown prince will not let him go when he ascends the throne in the future, besides, His Majesty does not want to see Li Xiangxiang resign, the power of the court will be unbalanced, and it will not be possible to re-establish other forces in the short term. ”

"So Your Majesty just knocked Li Xiang, but it won't let him break his muscles and bones?"

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed: "Your Majesty is clever, you have just the right amount of proportion, which not only makes the courtiers vigilant, but also does not suppress too much and shake the foundation of the court, and it is just right to take Lu Xuan's knife." ”

Li Guangbi turned his head to look at Gu Qing and said with a smile: "The good news is that the Lu family's father and son are afraid that they won't dare to trouble you recently, they want to be people with their tails between their legs, but mortal enemies are still mortal enemies, and when the rumors pass, they will still take revenge." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's a big deal, I will resign and return to my hometown, and before leaving, I wrote a letter of love and posted it all over Chang'an, crying bitterly and saying that I was persecuted by the Lu family's father and son, to see how they deal with themselves." ”

The three people in the hall laughed, and Zhang Jiuzhang pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Where did you learn your yin nature?" is naturally suitable for officialdom, but it is condescending to join the army as a small record. ”

Li Guangbi glanced at Gu Qing and said, "Your kid just escaped a catastrophe, and recently settled at the equinox, don't be caught, no matter how big or small the official is, being too flamboyant is the way to get trouble." ”

"Yes, the little nephew understands, the little nephew is still the same sentence, I am an honest person, and I never take the initiative to cause trouble, but sometimes things will take the initiative to provoke me, what can I do?"

The word "honest man" immediately attracted the disdainful glances of the three people in the hall, and only then did they see Gu Qing but two sides, and these three people had probably seen Gu Qing's essence clearly.

Gu Qing couldn't help but panic for a while, it seems that after the honest person's personality collapsed once, trust between people has been lost, do you want to change the persona?

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed: "It's a pity that you haven't studied seriously, if you can enter the official from the scientific examination, you will be promoted to an upright position, and the road in the court will be better in the future." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "In the early years, the younger generation was poor and couldn't afford to read. Fortunately, I was lucky, took a shortcut, and became an official successfully. ”

"It's different, being an official in the scientific examination is the right way, starting from the county order, after accumulating enough qualifications, entering the province and entering Taiwan, being a very popular minister, is the right way."

Gu Qing's eyes flashed, and he said tentatively: "If you don't take the scientific examination, it is impossible to become a county commander?" ”

Zhang Jiuzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, there is another way, but it is more difficult." ”

"Please teach the second uncle."

Zhang Jiuzhang glanced at him, and seemed to be strange to Gu Qing when he asked this question, but he still said: "There is another method, that is, 'raising filial piety', which began in the Han Dynasty, and then flourished several times, and then flourished in the Sui Dynasty. ”

Gu Qing knew that raising filial piety was a way to recommend officials, there was no scientific examination in the Han Dynasty, and the officials were all the children of the local gate valve clan, and there were still children of the poor family after the Three Kingdoms, if there was no scientific examination, there must be a name to be an official, that is the name of "filial piety", saying that you are filial piety, you are filial piety, and you can be an official.

Since the probationary system of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, filial piety and honesty are one of the ways of the probationary system, is it fair? Of course it's not fair, the moisture and elasticity in it are too great, but it is undeniable that it is a thousand-year-old way to enter the office, how can there be real fairness from ancient times to the present?

"Do you also have filial piety in my court?" Gu Qing asked again.

Zhang Jiuzhang said: "Of course there is, but most of them are only one place per state, since Emperor Gaozong implemented the scientific examination, the imperial court has been more and more tightly controlled by the law of filial piety and honesty, and few people have heard of it because of filial piety and honesty in these years." ”

Li Guangbi smiled and said: "There is an example in front of me, your third uncle, Zhang Jiugao, the younger brother of Uncle Jiuzhang, was promoted to filial piety and honesty. ”

Gu Qing was stunned, and there was a look of eagerness in his eyes.

Zhang Jiuzhang glanced at him and said: "You have already joined the army, and you are in the heart of the emperor, there is no need to go through the scientific examination again, as long as you don't make a big mistake, you can deal with the relationship with Your Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, plus the old man and other old people, you will be promoted in a few years." ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "The younger generation is not for himself, but he has a fellow villager friend, who grew up together since childhood, he has the ambition to benefit one party, and the younger generation wants to help him." ”

Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "It's not difficult to say, if your fellow villagers can be recommended by the Shuzhou Assassin History, the Assassin Mansion and the local county order will mobilize some wealthy families to join the Wanmin Table, and hand it to the Jiannan Daojie Du Embassy, the chances of success are not small." ”

Gu Qing said tentatively: "If the junior knows the Jiannan Dao Jie Du Envoy, the relationship with him ...... It's not bad, isn't it more hopeful to be filial piety? ”

Zhang Jiuzhang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you started because of tribute porcelain, it is said that Jiannan Dao Jiedu made Xian Yu Zhongtong a lot of efforts in it, and you made a contribution to Xian Yu Zhongtong in the first battle of Nanzhao, and saved Xian Yu Zhongtong from a big trouble. ”

Gu Qing's eyes were eager to try, and he felt more and more that it was a good way to be filial piety, and if it was done properly, maybe Song Gensheng could be a county lieutenant or a county magistrate or something.

The county order is not daring to think about it, it is a little difficult, even if it is barely operational, I am afraid that it will bring criticism to Xian Yu Zhongtong and Song Gensheng.

Gu Qing decided to write a letter to Xian Yu Zhongtong when he went back next, no matter who owes him this thing, it is better to pay it back as soon as possible, it is impossible for Xian Yu Zhongtong to be a festival envoy for the rest of his life, and he will quickly send Song Gensheng to heaven while he is in power.

In the front hall, Zhang Jiuzhang raised his glass and was about to drink with everyone, when he suddenly heard a strange sound from the screen behind the hall, everyone looked at it in amazement, and then found that the landscape screen shook violently, and the last woman's exclamation, the screen fell straight to the ground, and there was a girl in a purple palace dress lying on the screen in embarrassment, with a frightened and anxious face, and looked up to find that everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on her, the girl blinked, muttered, and pretended to faint.

Gu Qing was dumbfounded, he had learned a clever way to resolve embarrassment.

Then everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Jiuzhang, Zhang Jiuzhang pretended to be calm, but his slightly trembling hand betrayed him deeply, showing that he was not at peace in his heart at the moment, and he might want to kill.

"See, see and laugh, see and laugh......" Zhang Jiuzhang sighed gloomily.

Li Guangbi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, Li Twelve Niang also wanted to laugh, and twisted her face away very kindly.

Li Guangbi laughed and said: "I haven't seen Uncle Li for many years, and when we meet, it is a five-body bow on the ground, haha, the virtuous niece is polite." ”

The girl who pretended to faint was still lying motionless on the screen, but her cheeks quickly flushed, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't collapse the character who fainted, and she endured it very hard.

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed: "The family is unfortunate, out of this evil obstacle, this is the granddaughter of the third brother Jiugao's long house, Zhang Huaijin." ”

Gu Qing was stunned, and regardless of whether the fainted girl could see it or not, she still bowed her hand to her.

Zhang Jiuzhang continued to sigh: "This woman is stubborn and wild, she has been in trouble since she was a child, and the old man once thought about being a matchmaker for Gu Qing, and then thought about it, the Gu family and his wife are the benefactors of my Zhang family, how can the old man take revenge, so he rejected the thought......"

Gu Qing glanced at Zhang Jiuzhang appreciatively.

The word "grace will take revenge" can be said to be used very carefully, and it should be a big deal.

said that it would float, and Gu Qing immediately took a cup and saluted Zhang Jiuzhang.

Zhang Jiuzhang didn't know if it was presbyopia, but he didn't see it.

Gu Qing had no choice but to drink a cup of self-indulgence.

Zhang Jiuzhang stroked his beard, didn't look at Zhang Huaijin on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it enough to be embarrassed?" Hurry up! How long do you plan to lie down? ”

Zhang Huaijin sighed and "woke up" delicately.

got up and patted the ash on the palace skirt, Zhang Huaijin lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Second ancestor Weng, it's the hand that moves the screen first......"

"Shut up! Why don't you go and give a gift to Twelve Niang and Uncle Li, there are no rules! ”

Zhang Huaijin walked up to Li Twelve Niang and Li Guangbi with a small mouth and saluted one by one.

Li Twelve Niang seemed to like this girl quite much, took out a small and exquisite dagger from her arms and gave it to her, and said: "I haven't seen her for a few years, but she is already a big girl, this dagger is still sharp, take it and play with it." ”

Zhang Huaijin is really a ruthless character, he doesn't like red clothes and loves arms, and after thanking him, he took the dagger and couldn't put it down.

Zhang Jiuzhang looked at Li Twelve Niang helplessly, and said: "She is already wild, and you gave her a dagger, and she will become more and more lawless in the future." ”

Li Twelve Niang smiled: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with dancing guns and sticks at my daughter's house, it's better to have an object to defend yourself than to be bullied outside." ”

Zhang Huaijin put away the dagger, his eyes turned to Gu Qing, and he looked him up and down curiously.

Zhang Jiuzhang said angrily: "Look at it, I haven't seen you Brother Gu Qing soon!" ”

Zhang Huaijin sighed, walked in front of Gu Qing slowly, and saluted him: "Huaijin has seen Brother Gu." ”

Gu Qing got up and returned the salute: "You're welcome, I ...... when we meet for the first time."

Saying that, Gu Qing touched his body, planning to give a meeting gift, and searched around for only a piece of silver cake that he had robbed from Hao Donglai before leaving just now, which was somewhat valuable, and when he was reluctant to meet him, Gu Qing gave up decisively, pulled out his hand from his arms, and gave her his thumb and index finger.

"I ...... Bless you. ”

"Uh...... Belch? Zhang Huaijin looked at Gu Qing's empty-handed heart blankly, confused.

Gu Qing explained seriously: "This is the blessing etiquette of the small country of Fanbang in the Western Regions, which is very high-end. ”

"Oh, oh...... Thank you, Brother Gu. Zhang Huaijin didn't know what was going on, so he also replied stupidly, and clumsily returned it to Gu Qing empty-handed.

Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Guangbi, who were watching from the side, were itching, and they also learned to compare their hearts, and even compared each other, the two of them were more than 100 years old, and they looked very cute compared to their hearts.

…………

The guests and hosts were happy, and Gu Qing said goodbye and left Zhang's house.

Walking out of the gate of Zhang's house, the housekeeper planned to prepare a carriage and horse to send Gu Qing back to the inn, but Gu Qing refused.

He wanted to walk alone on the streets of Chang'an and appreciate the customs of the Tang Dynasty. From Daozheng Fang to Changle Fang, Gu Qing's legs and feet were a little sore, and he inadvertently glanced back and found that there was a person not far behind.

Well, acquaintance, just met.

Seeing Gu Qing's gaze sweeping over, Zhang Huaijin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he stepped forward with a dry smile.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Follow me or hang out by yourself?" ”

Zhang Huaijin said decisively: "Hang out by yourself." ”

Gu Qing sighed: "It turned out to be a coincidence, so let's hang out separately." ”

After speaking, Gu Qing perfunctorily arched his hand to say goodbye, and then turned his head and left.

Zhang Huaijin looked at his back in disbelief, this guy really said to leave, did he really believe that he was hanging out?

"Hey! You stop! Zhang Huaijin stopped Gu Qing, ran to him on his feet, and glared at him angrily.

Gu Qing sighed: "You can't go back on your word." ”

"Do you hate me? Why can't you wait to stay away from me? ”

Gu Qing Zhengse said: "No, I like you too much, so I ran away shyly." ”

Zhang Huaijin's face flushed: "Phew! I don't believe it. ”

It's right not to believe it, IQ is online.

"My sister Zhang Huaiyu wrote me a letter, she met you in Shuzhou and said a lot of good things about you. Do you have a good relationship? ”

Gu Qing sighed, you are insulting my IQ is not online, Zhang Huaiyu will say good things about me?

She only behaves tenderly when she wants to eat braised fish.

"This, uh, Sister Huaijin, it's getting late, why don't we play a game?"

Zhang Huaijin was stunned: "What game?" ”

"Let's play a game of hide and seek, just find a place to hide in this street, and another person will look for him, for an hour, and if we can't find it, we will lose, how about it?"

"Huh?" Zhang Huaijin's face was full of question marks.

Gu Qing couldn't wait to say: "I'll hide first, you come to find it, and count a hundred times silently before you can start looking for it." ”

After speaking, Gu Qing snorted, and his figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

Zhang Huaijin stood on the street in a daze, and a sense of humiliation that his IQ was flattened inexplicably swelled in his heart.
