Chapter 26 Duty
"That's what the old man said!" Wei Zhengqi's beard trembled.
Niu Jinda kicked Cheng Jinjin hard.
"Old cow! What are you kicking me for! Cheng Yanjin looked back at Niu Jinda's eyes, and suddenly understood something, and hurriedly bowed his head.
"Stand down!" Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain, as if he had a headache.
Gu Qing quietly followed the crowd and left.
"Stop!"
Hearing a call, Gu Qingtou didn't speed up his pace, and suddenly felt that a strange force behind him was being carried in mid-air, and he raised his eyes to Cheng Yanjin's big face.
"Your Majesty told you to stop, the little doll's ears are not good, isn't it!"
With a casual throw, Gu Qing was thrown behind everyone, only to see Cheng Yanjin speed up his pace and flee quickly.
"Your Majesty......" bowed and stood, Gu Qing bowed his head.
"Come with me." Li Shimin stood up and walked all the way, and Gu Qing followed in small steps.
Li Tai wanted to follow but was stopped by Wang Qin, and stood in place with Li Chengqian to watch the two figures drowned in the night.
Along the way, Gu Qing's heart went up and down, did the current emperor find out that he was crossing and wanted to chop himself up and eat it? It's so cruel, the eunuch who followed behind him laughed very gloomy, and unconsciously hit a spirit.
Walking to the edge of a pond, Li Shimin looked at the bright moon and said, "Gu Qing, where are you from?" ”
How to answer this question, hesitating in his heart, Li Shimin continued: "I first found out that you were in Jingzhou, and the martial arts family left you and Sun Simiao, but no one has ever seen the clothes on your body, and the clothes are not like cloth, and I have never seen them." ”
"Back to Your Majesty!" Gu Qing looked at the moon and said, "The kid was indeed born in the Central Plains, but he has lived overseas with his family since he was a child, and he has only come back in the past few years. ”
I don't know if this panic can be fooled, Gu Qing said.
"Is there really a heavenly court?" Li Shimin asked again.
I gasped in my heart, the emperor is the emperor, and my hands and eyes are all over the sky to think that I have been investigated all the way.
"That's the kid made it up, and there is no heavenly court." Gu Qing said.
"Nonsense?" Li Shimin stared at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing didn't dare to look directly at his eyes, but Li Er's eyes were very sharp, "Back to Your Majesty, it was really made up by the grass people." ”
"You and King Wei are very close?" Li Shimin changed the question.
"Yes." Gu Qing said, "The grass people and the king of Wei met in Tongguan, and they met outside Tongguan, and they fought bandits together. ”
"King Wei gave you a house, and you sold it again, yes or no!" Li Shimin asked again.
"Yes." Gu Qing replied honestly.
"Guanyin said that you are slippery, I saw you twice before and after, although you are slippery, you are sincere." Li Shimin said again: "Who will you choose between the King of Wei and the crown prince?" ”
Gu Qing was frightened into a cold sweat, and thought about everything, but he didn't expect Li Er to ask so directly.
"Don't think I can't see that the prince is watching you." Li Shimin lowered his voice, "You are a grass people, but you have papermaking and movable type printing, and there is a secret weapon like a fairy magic weapon, how can I rest assured that a grass person like you is a grass people." ”
Finished! Gu Qing's body and mind are cold, and he is going to cut off my head according to his words?
"I want you to choose between the crown prince and the king of Wei." Li Shimin raised his head and said.
"The grass people obeyed." Gu Qing replied.
"From tomorrow, you will follow Fang Xuanling to Zhongshu Province." Li Shimin said, "Gu Qing, you can understand my intentions. ”
I didn't quite understand in my heart, Gu Qing said, "The grass people understand. ”
"Stand down." After Li Shimin finished speaking, Gu Qing left in small steps, and turned back three times in the quiet city of Chang'an, for fear that Li Er would send someone to take his dog's life, the Tang Dynasty was too terrible! God, let me travel back.
Li Er returned to the palace, and Empress Changsun helped the current emperor take off his clothes, "Erlang, why did you let Gu Qing be an official again?" ”
"This kid has a floating heart, at least the officialdom can rub him." Li Er lay on the bed tiredly.
Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile: "The concubine knows Erlang's thoughts, and Gu Qing is uncertain!" Qingque and the prince will also be uncertain for a day, saying that they don't want Qingque and Chengqian to fight, and His Majesty wants to catch Gu Qing, this kid, in his own hands. ”
"Guanyin, fortunately you are a woman." Li Shimin said with relief.
Sorting out her clothes, Empress Changsun said again, "Many people in the court are clear-eyed, Gu Qing is the youngest official in this court, Your Majesty said that he didn't want Gu Qing to be an official, saying that he was too young, and he still couldn't let go of it in his heart, right?" ”
Back to the small Taoist temple, Gu Qing took care of the potato seedlings for a while, and saved a lot of seeds over the years, all the potatoes were planted in an acre of land behind the Taoist temple, one by one, one by one, a potato seedling can grow at least four potatoes, and there should be more than 300 potatoes next year, and I don't know if the water and soil in Chang'an are suitable for potato growth, and the potato should not be very picky, so I went back to bed and slept until noon.
When I woke up, I saw Yang Sheng sitting on the threshold and biting the grass root in his mouth, "The people from the government have already come three times." ”
"People from the government?" Gu Qing asked.
"Whoa!" Yang Sheng pointed to the official uniform on the side, "They asked you why you didn't go to duty, you slept like a dead pig, you couldn't wake up, and you were still saying some inexplicable words in your mouth." ”
"What did I say!" Gu Qing also sat down.
"What do you say? Starting a tour? Yang Sheng said suspiciously: "What is a pit goods?" ”
"Something bad!" Gu Qing patted his thigh, and then remembered that Li Er asked him to follow Fang Xuanling to Zhongshu Province last night.
"It's only been a few days since you arrived in Chang'an, and you've already become an official." Yang Sheng was amazed.
Putting on his official uniform in a daze, Gu Qing hurriedly rode a little donkey away from the Taoist temple, came to Chang'an and ran all the way to the palace, and said to the guards in front of the palace: "I'll be on duty." ”
The guard glanced at Gu Qing's official uniform, "The time to enter the palace has passed, and you can't enter without a notification." ”
"I'm really here for duty, I'm just late." Gu Qing said again.
The guard said again: "How can you come to be on duty at this hour, and we will not be allowed to leave without informing us." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji walked all the way out from the palace, and saw Gu Qing who was blocked outside the door with a funny face, "Why did you come?" ”
"Overslept. I said I was on duty, but they didn't believe me. Gu Qing said embarrassedly.
"Fang Xuanling is still dealing with political affairs, you should go quickly." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said to the guards in front of the palace gate, "Let him in, he is really here to be on duty." ”
Only then did the guards let go.
"After entering the palace gate, turn right and go directly to Zhongshu Province, don't run around, there are some places in the palace where you can't enter." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Gu Qing, a junior, with an admiring expression, "Don't be too late next time." ”
"I said I was here to be on duty, don't you believe it!" Gu Qing hurriedly walked into the palace gate.
The faces of the two guards are very ugly, there are not many officials who can enter Zhongshu Province, and those who are there are people who can participate in political affairs, and the people who deal with today's political affairs are carefully selected by His Majesty today to enter Zhongshu Province, and several guards are furious in their hearts and think that they have offended people, the future is bleak, and their lives are gloomy, and they don't want to do it.
