Tonight's Chang'an City is very different, Gu Qingci finally found a little dull in this prosperous city, this city, since the first step into it not long ago, he has been busy, this night, he stroked the piano and watched the girl who dyed a tree slowly leave.

Every time he stays with Tsing Yi, he is very relaxed, which is felt from the depths of his soul, he no longer feels lonely, Tsing Yi always understands what he thinks with a slight smile.

"It's very rare to have a confidant in life!"

After a song, Tsing Yi's figure disappeared into the thick night, he slowly turned around and entered the door with the qin, he didn't know that at the moment he turned around, at the bend of Qingshi Lane, Tsing Yi's figure slowly appeared again, smiling as if retaining the spring, faint, faint calm, faint gentleness.

This night, Gu Qingci slept very soundly.

This night, Tsing Yi tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, the spring rain that had lingered for many days suddenly stopped, and the clear sun suddenly poked out from behind the rain, when the sun shone in the bluestone alley, there was a yellow oriole in the treetops called softly, and then fluttered its arms and flew away, and a carriage quietly set off from the bluestone alley, slowly driving towards the imperial city.

This time, Gu Qing came very early, and he was not in a hurry, he had time to appreciate the first majestic palace in the world, the Zhu Wall was strong and solemn, and there was no legendary three palaces and six palaces, but it was a real city, a Xiongguan standing in the center of Great Xia.

Gu Qingci looked up at the majestic imperial city, the royal forest soldiers on the vermilion city wall like ink spots, his expression was flat, those strong people who were hidden in the depths, Gu Qingci could occasionally feel a little bit of breath, he couldn't help but marvel, how powerful Yan Bo was at the beginning, he could walk directly into the imperial city with one person and one sword, if it weren't for Mr. Wuji, maybe today's Daxia would be a different scenery.

After entering the city gate and getting off the carriage, he met an acquaintance, Shangshu Diyun of the Criminal Department.

Gu Qing bowed first: "Master Di." ”

When Di Yun saw Gu Qingci, he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Lord Gu, it's early!"

"Lord Di earlier!"

Gu Qingci smiled faintly, and walked up the long white marble staircase leading to the Jinluan Hall with Di Yun.

Di Yun quietly looked at Gu Qingci, and sighed a little in his heart, whether it was the vigor of a young man or the demeanor of a scholar, they all had an absolute performance in this young man, and suddenly, he felt that he was really old.

Along the way, Gu Qingci once again saw the civil and military officials of Great Xia, this time, he was not as casual as the last time, but looked at the people he saw with interest, these people were the top people in the Xia Kingdom, and each one represented a surging force behind him.

Hundreds of officials go to court, in fact, it is a very boring thing, all the big officials are like the emperor to play some trivial matters, or some officials are involved in a certain official, or the emperor and the people of the imperial history platform are arguing, in general, it is a group of people in a meeting, there is no difference.

Gu Qingci was not interested in these, but he found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, there is still a clear distinction between the Wei and the path above the court, and the biggest boundary is the distinction between civil and military, and the two groups of people are like shrews scolding the street, maybe because a certain general proposes a policy, and the civil official does not agree, or a certain official joins a certain general, and then the military general wants to refute it.

The Xia court is also a very interesting court, the consistent style of the generals is to talk with their fists, and there will be people who want to fight with their sleeves at every turn, however, the ministers in this court are not weak at all, and there are really people who roll up their sleeves, and when they quarrel, they are almost comparable to the vegetable market on Suzaku Street.

Smaller, take the six departments of the imperial court as an example, each of them is not harmonious with each other, and they will fight for some things.

Emperor Xia was also very helpless when he sat on the dragon chair, he couldn't really let people fight, he could only rely on his authority to maintain the appearance of the court.

After a long time, it was finally quiet, and Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "Gu Qing stepped forward to listen to the seal!"

Gu Qingci knew that it was his business, so he stood up.

The father-in-law of the imperial pen supervisor took out the holy decree that had been sorted out a long time ago, and said some official words, which was nothing more than saying that Gu Qing quit Changling County to resist foreign tribes, and then asked for the decree for the soldiers, and after some praise, it was a reward.

"In view of Gu Qing's temporary reluctance to take office, he canonized Lantian County, a mansion, 3,000 acres of fertile land, 1,000 taels of gold, 30 maidservants, and 60 servants, Qin this!"

The eunuch handed over the decree, Gu Qingci took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

In fact, Gu Qingci didn't know much about what kind of reward he deserved, but he didn't care, he didn't think that the emperor would fool him in this situation, and he didn't have much interest, he didn't want it anymore, he didn't want this credit very much.

However, he could see from the surprise in the eyes of some other courtiers that the reward given by Emperor Xia should be very good, otherwise, it would not make those people blush now.

In fact, what Gu Qingci didn't know was that no matter which country it was, except for the beginning of the founding of the country, it might be knighted, but as long as the country was stable, it was not easy to get a knighthood, even if the six Shangshu were highly powerful, there were only one or two knighthoods.

Because a knighthood is not the same as an official position, it can be hereditary.

The title is divided into five ranks, and each time it is inherited, it will be lowered by one rank, but it is very stable, and no matter how big the official position is, it cannot be said to be hereditary.

After Gu Qingci's knighthood was settled, this time the court meeting was basically completed, and it didn't take long for hundreds of officials to retire from the court, but although Gu Qingci didn't have much time to delay, it was already noon when the early dynasty ended.

Now in the court, the people who have dealt with Gu Qingci are actually just Di Yun, the secretary of the criminal department, and Zeng Tong, a college student, but when Gu Qing resigned from the Jinluan Palace, many courtiers said polite words, congratulations and the like.

But people who have eyesight, enough is enough.

This is just to confuse a familiar eye, after all, Gu Qingci has only been knighted for two decades now, and basically everyone knows that the world of Xia Guo has basically been determined to be Gu Qingci, with unlimited potential and worthy of friendship.

Although Gu Qingci doesn't like this kind of occasion, as the saying goes, he doesn't hit a smiling person, and every person who greets him, he responds politely one by one, but he has already declined the invitation to be a guest.

The carriage drove slowly, walking on the street, the sun was shining, some warm, but also a little cold, this was a small alley, only a figure on the opposite side slowly became clear, after seeing the person clearly, Gu Qingci frowned, and said to the horseman: "Stop." ”

The horseman was not Gu Qingci's servant, but Gu Qingci specially hired him, and turned around and said, "Is Master Gu going to get off here?"

Gu Qingci nodded lightly, took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the groom, and said, "You leave first, I have some things." ”

The groom took the silver, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyebrows, but Gu Qingci had already left, he raised his head and looked at Gu Qingci's back, and just saw the person in front of Gu Qingci who came out of the small alley, suddenly, his face changed, and he hurriedly pulled the carriage and left.

Gu Qingci didn't expect to meet this person on the way home - Xiao Yi, the chief manager of the Great Interior!
