"Okay!" Gu Qing turned to face the courtiers again, "Then it's decided, immediately write a letter to the King of Goguryeo, written by the Ministry of Education, with Shangguanyi and Xu Jingzong as assistants, His Majesty will seal it! , but Goguryeo must give us the condition of building the Shanhaiguan Pass. As for the details, the Ministry of Education will implement it. Is there anything else? If there is nothing wrong, we will retreat."

The courtiers withdrew one after another.

Another court meeting ended. These days, Taiji Palace always finalizes state affairs in this way, which is a bit nondescript, but it also has something to do with Gu Qing's character. He is not particularly particular and keeps everything simple.

After the court was over, Li Chengqian said to Gu Qing, "I also know about the incident at Dali Temple that day. Mr. Zhao Guogong has no other intentions. Don't blame him. He just hopes that Tang Jian can come out as soon as possible."

"I understand, of course I don't doubt Zhao Guogong." Gu Qing said with a half-smile as he walked.

Chapter 668 Come to Make Apology

Li Chengqian asked Gu Qing, "Is there no clue about Tang Jian's matter?"

"I don't know how the Dali Temple's investigation is going." Gu Qing replied calmly, "If there is a result, I will naturally give an explanation to His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will not worry."

When Li Chengqian received the words, he turned and left. Gu Qing leisurely walked out of Chengtian Gate. No one wanted to murder Tang Jian. All this was just a rehearsal by himself, and now he was hanging to find out who the guy behind Tang Jian was. .

As for what Di Renjie was looking for, who knows.

There were several thunderclaps in the sky, and a burst of heavy rain fell. Gu Qing was resting under the eaves of a private house on Suzaku Street.

There was a creaking sound from the door, and the old door opened. Gu Qing looked back and just wanted to say that he was just hiding from the rain, when he called a teacher.

"Do you live here?" Gu Qing asked Pei Xingjian.

"The students have been living here since they entered the Ministry of War. At the beginning, His Royal Highness arranged for the students to live in the government office." Pei Xingjian looked at no one on the street and said, "Teacher, please come in."

It was very simple for Gu Qing to step into Pei Xingjian's house, except for the necessary furniture, there was no special decoration, after sitting down, a woman came with a bowl of ginger soup, she smiled and said, "Teacher, take a sip to warm up your body. "

"She is the student's wife." Pei Xingjian explained, "In fact, this is a marriage arranged by the family a long time ago."

"Looks like a good woman." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"It's not easy for her." Pei Xingjian said: "We used to be poor people. She made a marriage with a student when she was very young. She has been with me since she was a child. At the beginning, I came to Chang'an without saying goodbye. After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of War, there was a letter from her family saying that her parents had passed away, and I felt guilty thinking that she would be helpless since then, so I let her come to Chang'an."

Gu Qing listened to him.

Pei Xingjian said again, "After so many years, she could have married someone else, but she has been waiting for me, and the student took it over."

"It's pretty good." Gu Qing nodded and looked at the heavy rain outside, "I shouldn't ask more about this kind of thing."

"Students who have wives should tell the teacher. It's the students' fault that they didn't tell the teacher at first." Pei Xingjian said hastily.

"You are a smart child. I don't teach you much, and I don't give you much." Gu Qing spoke patiently to Pei Xingjian, "You are a capable person, and you will become famous. I just push the boat with the flow."

"Teacher, don't say that." Pei Xingjian immediately said: "There is no teacher, and there is no student today."

"You don't have to take offense, I don't mean to blame you." Gu Qing continued, "I just have a very strange feeling."

"Strange feeling?" Pei Xingjian was puzzled.

"This feeling is very weird, and sometimes it's creepy to think about it." Gu Qing looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "You are like this, and Di Renjie is also like this. You can't experience that kind of feeling. It's just a kind of experience, like a waterfall." Even if you catch the flowing water, it will still flow from your hands."

"The students don't understand what the teacher means." Pei Xingjian said.

The rain was much lighter, and a thunderstorm came and went quickly, Gu Qing looked at the wetness outside, "It's summer, right?"

"Yeah!" Pei Xingjian nodded, "It's true that summer started a lot earlier this year."

"I'm leaving first!" Gu Qing stood up, "If there is a chance, the four of us will sit down and chat together, you and me, Di Renjie and Xue Rengui."

"The students know." Pei Xingjian bowed to see Gu Qing off.

As soon as the rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and Zhuque Street also began to have a flow of people. Gu Qing walked out of Chang'an City and headed all the way to his home. When he entered the village and came to the door of his house, he saw a few Mohists standing at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Qing looked at several people.

"I came here to apologize to Marquis Gu Qing." These Mohists said, "I was rude the day before yesterday."

"I see." Gu Qing nodded indifferently, "Go back."

"But……"

"Go back!" Gu Qing's tone became cold.

The Mohists looked at each other and had no choice but to give up and leave.

Back home, Wu Mei poured Gu Qing a bowl of hot tea, "Why did you come back?"

"The affairs of the court have been discussed for a long time, and it was delayed by the heavy rain." Gu Qing said to Wu Mei, "The few Mohists have already left."

"It's my concubine who didn't let them in. I've heard what happened from Fan Jian." Wu Mei helped Gu Qing change her clothes, "Some things are right when they are right and wrong are wrong. Since our family is right, Just stand still, our Gu family is powerful now, if people offend us, we should show an attitude, and we can't let others think that our Gu family has no temper."

"Do you think that your husband and I have been wronged and repaid?" Gu Qing smiled.

"If I had acted on the spot according to my husband's temper in the past, this time my husband has been patient, and my husband has a reason why he can't do it. The villain can only be a concubine." Wu Mei helped Gu Qing tidy up his clothes, "This clothes are new. It still fits well, the tailors in Jiangnan are really good, we can ask them to make more clothes in the future."

Gu Qing wondered: "A tailor in Jiangnan?"

"En." Wu Mei nodded, "It's a relative of the Jiangnan businessman who did business with our family at the beginning, it is said that he is the younger brother! Before he came, he even sent things over, and those businessmen personally sent them, saying I wanted to open a tailor shop in our village, and my concubine agreed. It was a good idea. I could bring Jiangnan silk directly to the village to buy it, saving the cost of going to Chang'an to buy a shop. It was also convenient. There are a lot of students here, and their business started quickly.”

"But you did the right thing about the Mo family, and it should be like this." Gu Qing looked at Wu Mei and said with a smile, "Girl, what do you think I will do if I don't have your good helper?"

"Why aren't you here, what are you talking about?" Wu Mei pushed Gu Qing's arms away, "I'm going to prepare meals."

"Go." Gu Qing lay comfortably on the bed.

The village is still the same as before. The news about the young people standing at the gate of Gu’s house has been spread for a long time, and the villagers are talking about it. They still stood there until Master Gu came back, and then drove them back.

"Have you heard? It is said that when those people came, Mrs. Gu's wife refused to let them in. It seemed that they offended Mr. Gu!" A villager said.

Chapter 669 Yan's Entering the Academy

"To offend Gu Houye is to offend the whole village." Another person said, "Our village owes its existence to Gu Houye. Whoever dares to offend Gu Qinghou, we will have trouble with anyone."

"I've heard about it." Someone said again, "I heard from Chang'an that someone pretended to be a Mohist boy to call on Lord Gu."

……

This matter has been widely spread in the village, Gu Qing's popularity in Chang'an is also good, and the prestige in the village is even more prosperous, this matter quickly spread to Chang'an, Cheng Yaojin knew about it and said to Li Xiaogong with a smile : "Gu Qing has been too honest these years. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Gu Qing has not provoked people everywhere. I didn't expect that there are so many people who are not good-looking to provoke Gu Qing, and they don't ask who Gu Qing is in Chang'an now. "

"Have you heard? There was a guy in Chang'an today who claimed to be a Mohist child, and was laughed at." Li Xiaogong said.

"Mo family?" Cheng Yaojin laughed, "Is he really from the Mo family?"

"Ghost knows." Li Xiaogong said, "The guy who came out of nowhere, came up and said that he was a Mohist child and that Gu Qing's ability came from the Mohist, but he didn't have any evidence himself, let alone He said that he couldn't even solve the problems in the academy."

"If it were you, would you say that?" Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine.
