After a few words of conversation, Gu Qing understood that Ji Wen was coming with a threat, this famous cool official acted in a rather domineering way, and it could be heard from the murderous tone in his smile that he had to force Gu Qing to submit today.

Gu Qing can understand his feelings, after all, he is blocking his financial path, who is not in a hurry? Besides, behind this list, there may be a lot of big people standing, Li Linfu should be the big one, and the remaining small head is also a windfall, which is worth competing for by many court officials, and Ji Wen was probably pushed out as a bird.

Zuo Wei Changshi is just a small role, even the edge of the power center of the court can't be touched, but it just happens to be unfortunate to have the small power to sign the list, but this power can't bypass him, if there is a mistake in the process, it is easy to be caught by the imperial historians of the imperial history platform, and now the court is divided into three factions, Donggong, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, Li Xiangwei is extremely human, but he can't cover the sky with one hand, and there are still countless enemies in the court waiting to grab his handle and pull him off the horse.

This is the reason why Giwin had to take the initiative to come to the door, salute first and then soldier, first try to settle the trouble peacefully, and if peaceful means cannot solve it, then wait for their means of revenge.

The most difficult person is Gu Qing.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Qing is reluctant to sign the charge, he doesn't like to get involved in factions and troubles, and he is even more reluctant to give the handle to Li Linfu, if he signs the charge, it will be the handle.

But he was even more reluctant to provoke right and wrong and offend powerful enemies.

Li Linfu is the prime minister under one person and above tens of millions, Gu Qing can't afford to offend, and he can't be moved.

It doesn't have much effect to have Yang Guifei to cover it, Zuo Wei's corruption is related to government politics, Yang Guifei can't cover him, and he, Gu Qing, is probably not too important in Li Longji's heart.

A very simple analogy, if Gu Qing and Li Linfu fell into the water at the same time, who would Li Longji save?

According to Gu Qing's guess, Li Longji will definitely not save him, but he will not necessarily save Li Linfu, maybe he will watch Gu Qing drowned, and at the same time, he will also let Li Linfu fill himself in the water, and when Li Linfu is dying, Li Longji's final choice will still save Li Linfu, as for Gu Qing, a hairy boy, he will drown if he drowns, what's the pity?

Remember the URL

Talent? What is talent? Li Bai's talent is high enough, right? When he resigned and left the palace, did Li Longji keep him?

Emperor Ming looks at the world majestically, and there are only beauties in his eyes, so why do the courtiers regret it? There are not many others in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, there are the most talents, and a new batch will be made up immediately after the death, and it is still Lang Lang Qiankun.

Therefore, Gu Qing never dared to overestimate his status in Li Longji's heart, if this trouble is stabbed to the sky at the moment, it is not a simple case to make everything fine, although the corrupt officials of Zuo Wei will be held accountable, but Gu Qing may not be able to retreat with his whole body, maybe Li Longji will chop Gu Qing with a knife in order to appease Li Linfu.

Because Li Linfu is the prime minister under one person, Li Longji can suppress the prime minister, but he can't touch Li Linfu, "Xiangquan" and "Li Linfu" are to be separated in Li Longji's heart, and now Li Longji deliberately cultivates Yang Guozhong and constantly adds officials to him, in order to take over Li Linfu's position as prime minister at any time, but before Yang Guozhong is fledgling, Li Longji will not replace Li Linfu.

Now Gu Qing is too weak, and he can't shake the balance of the court arranged by Li Longji himself.

A corruption case involving 100,000 yuan will not be shaken, and it is more likely that Li Longji will take it lightly.

Ji Wen sat opposite Gu Qing, but Gu Qing's mind was spinning rapidly.

If you only focus on the current Zuowei corruption case, then it is naturally black and white, and you can see at a glance who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.

However, if the eyes are placed on the court, on the mind of the Son of Heaven, and on the balance of the situation between the factions and the parties, then there is no black and white good and evil in the current corruption case, who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, Li Longji has the final say, starting from the overall situation of the court, whose ass will fall in the end, but it is really not good, there is a great possibility that Li Longji will get rid of the person who lifts the lid.

Thinking about this clearly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Gu Qing's back, and he was afraid for a while.

In the morning, he was still thinking about whether he should go directly to the palace to see Li Longji and tell the story of this case, anyway, he was not greedy for a penny, but he also exposed a group of moths, even if it was useless, it can't be regarded as a fault, right?

At this moment, Gu Qing thought a little farther, maybe it was really an unforgivable mistake.

So Gu Qing instantly decided to compromise and retreat.

This is out of his instinct for self-preservation, if there is a problem in front of him, and he can't solve it, or if he solves it, he will cause himself to be killed, then Gu Qing will choose to bypass it.

Human nature is selfish, the so-called justice, the so-called loyalty to the country, is just a loud slogan for Gu Qing, it doesn't matter if he shouts on the premise that his life is safe, but if someone puts a knife on his neck, all he has to do is survive, justice or something, stand aside first.

After making a decision, although Gu Qing's heart was still a little panicked, he still showed the most friendly smile, looked at Ji Wen and said, "Ji Langzhong, I don't want to participate in this matter." ”

Ji Wen was stunned for a moment, staring at Gu Qing's eyes, brushing his few sparse rat whiskers and groaning silently, he was thinking about the meaning of Gu Qing's words.

"Gu Changshi said 'I don't want to participate', which means ......"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's literal, I don't want to participate, I don't want to sign the detention, I don't want to cause trouble, I won't add any resistance to you, let alone sue this matter, just as I don't know about this matter at all, I believe that with Li Xiang and Ji Langzhong's ability, there must be a way to bypass me and achieve the goal, Ji Langzhong, I said it clearly enough, right?" ”

Ji Wen nodded subconsciously, then stared at him suspiciously, and said, "You...... If you really won't sue it? ”

"No, I don't want to touch this matter at all, and I hope that Li Xiang and Ji Langzhong will not force me to get involved in this matter, our well water does not interfere with river water, and the dozen or so boxes you gave me are still safely placed in the backyard wing without touching, please take them with you when you leave." How is it? ”

Gwenn hesitated.

The signing of the left guard is a necessary process, and if Gu Qing agrees to sign the pledge, the completion of this matter can be described as flawless. But Gu Qing has made it very clear that he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, so this necessary process is not without expediency, but it is just necessary to buy more officials in the left guard, and do some tricks when the list is retained in the three provinces, at least in writing, it is seamless and flawless.

Then the group of broken-mouthed officials of Yushitai will not be able to get the handle, and the henchmen of Donggong and Yang Guozhong will also be helpless to take Li Xiang.

The key lies in Gu Qing's attitude, if he can keep his promise and not sue, this matter will still be perfectly resolved, and the huge amount of money of 100,000 yuan will be steadily obtained.

Will Gu Qing really keep his promise? The humanity of an official like Ji Wen is almost gone, he doesn't even believe in his own father, how can he believe Gu Qing?

But Ji Wen believed in Li Linfu, to be precise, he believed in Li Linfu's power.

Why did Gu Qing compromise? Why don't you want to get involved? To put it bluntly, he was afraid, he was afraid of Li Linfu's power, if he was smarter, he would know Li Linfu's status in the heart of the Son of Heaven, even if this matter was reported to the Son of Heaven, it might not be able to shake Li Xiang, this fact is clear to everyone.

If a person has a heart of awe and fear, he knows the proportions of being a man, and he knows that he succumbs to the rules of the game set by the strong, Gu Qing, a young man, is obviously a smart person.

"What does Gu Changshi say?" Ji Wen stared at Gu Qing's eyes and asked slowly.

Gu Qing nodded with a smile: "Words count, the character of the subordinate has always been as high as the talent, Ji Langzhong must believe me." ”

Ji Wen looked at Gu Qing deeply, and then the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a smile that he didn't know whether it was mockery or senselessness, and then got up to say goodbye.

Gu Qing politely sent Ji Wen outside the gate, watching him take away more than a dozen boxes of heavy gifts, looking at the back of the carriage leaving, the smile on Gu Qing's face gradually stiffened.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Gu Qing muttered to himself.

Is life important or is justice important? Everyone's answer is different, and Gu Qing has made his own choice.

…………

The next day, after Gu Qing entered the left guard, he came to the room where Li Guangbi worked.

Li Guangbi's face was a little ugly today, and when he saw Gu Qing entering the door to salute, he just nodded lightly.

"The list matter, have you dealt with it?" Li Guangbi asked.

Gu Qing was silent for a moment and said, "Deal with it." ”

"Oh? How to deal with it, tell me. ”

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "Just act as if you don't know anything, I don't sign it, and I don't want to provoke them." ”

"Who's behind it?"

"Tobe Lang Naka Jiwen, behind Jiwen...... It's Lee Sang. Gu Qing said honestly.

Li Guangbi was startled, then pursed his lips, and his face became more and more ugly.

Gu Qing sighed: "Uncle Li, don't blame me, I have to admit that I can't afford to mess with Li Xiang." ”

Li Guangbi's voice trembled, obviously trying to suppress his anger: "Just watch them greedy for ink? This is all the people's fat and ointment pulled out of their mouths by the hard work of the people of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Gu Qing lowered his head and said in a low voice: "That's right, but even if we sue the Son of Heaven, does Uncle Li think His Majesty will cure Li Xiang's crimes?" ”

Li Guangbi was stunned for a moment, his anger seemed to have been pierced by someone, and he was instantly deflated, and he hung his head gloomily and sighed.

If the Son of Heaven is not the Emperor, the definition of justice and evil is very vague, and the power to judge good and evil is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has the ability to reverse good and evil, so what is the point of risking his life to fight evil?

Li Guangbi's voice became hoarse: "So, what will they do next?" ”

Gu Qing said in a low voice: "Bypass my long history, continue to buy the officials of the left guard, and maybe do a little trick in the process." ”

Li Guangbi was disheartened for a moment, waved his hand lazily, and said, "I know, you can go out." ”
