"How is the arrangement of Haimao?" Gu Qing asked while eating.

"You arranged everything very well, and I didn't do anything except issue some orders." Li Zhi was also a little frustrated when he said it.

"How is Zhao Rui arranged?" Gu Qing asked again.

"This guy..." Li Zhi couldn't say a word, "This guy is very capable, but as you said, I have to be on guard against him. We didn't include him on the list for going to sea this time. Except for Shangguanyi, the entire Maritime Trade Department I have Xue Ji and Zhao Rui in my heart."

Speaking here, Li Zhi lowered his voice, "As you said, Zhao Rui can be my pawn."

"It's a good chess piece, but you must use it carefully. You must control him well and don't be influenced by him. You also need someone who can check and balance Zhao Rui, and cultivate an opponent for Zhao Rui."

"What do you mean?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"There will be struggles in every place, the court is the same, and the Maritime Trade Department is the same." Gu Qing said again, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang is the master of the Maritime Trade Department, you can promote people according to your own wishes, can't you?"

Hearing Gu Qing's words, Li Zhi understood a little bit, but he was also a little confused.

While talking, Shangguanyi also came back, seeing Gu Qing walking forward here, "I don't see you going to court on weekdays, but you have time to come here to eat and drink."

"Let's eat together." Gu Qing took out a pair of extra bowls and chopsticks as if he had prepared them long ago.

"The pork ribs from your house taste really good." Shangguanyi ate the sweet and sour pork ribs, "It's a pity that you won't be able to eat these delicacies outside of your Gu family."

"There are in the academy, and occasionally sweet and sour pork ribs can be eaten in the academy." Li Zhi added.

"Academy?"

"That's right." Li Zhi replied with a nod, "The earliest cook in the academy was from the Gu family. After the academy expanded, that cook brought out many of his own disciples. Many cooks in the Gu family cooking academy have also learned how to cook. And the students like Gu’s food very much, and some novel foods like fried chicken drumsticks and French fries are very popular in the college.”

Hearing what Li Zhi said, Shangguanyi looked at Gu Qing, "Gu Qing, why don't you open a tavern? The business is guaranteed to be good."

"Open a tavern." Gu Qing thought about it, "I can't open it, there are too many properties to take care of, how about I open it with you, I pay you, you pay people, and we split the bill [-]-[-]?"

"Well." Shangguanyi also hesitated, "It's not very good."

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi said.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Shangguanyi, who ranks among the three ministers in the court, took the lead in opening the tavern. This scenery must be very beautiful."

"It's true, the reputation will be bad, it's better to let Brother Chumo's tavern do it, and it will save a lot of trouble." Li Zhi said, "There is no need for Gu Qing to open a tavern. How many shopkeepers in Chang'an have business contacts with the Gu family , there is no need to open a tavern."

Li Zhi left after eating, and Shangguanyi was still sitting, obviously he had something to say.

The room became quiet again, Gu Qing ate the food and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chapter 7 Zhao Rui Pressed Questions

"There has been movement in Tubo." Shangguanyi said again, "There are more and more conflicts between Tianzhu and Tubo. Although Persia is stable, the new Persian king is planning to mobilize troops against Dashi, who has been seriously injured."

"Does it have something to do with us?" Gu Qing asked again.

"It doesn't matter." Shangguanyi said, "Tubo is our Tubo county, and Persia is our vassal state. We can't just ignore their affairs, and His Majesty is very concerned about this matter. I want to hear from you idea."

"Tubo and Persia, they really don't stop." With a long sigh, Gu Qing said, "Even if we want to intervene, it will take half a month for our orders to reach Persia and Tubo. We will wait for something to happen. The order arrives, the day lily is cold."

Shangguanyi: "Day lily?"

"Let me make an analogy." Gu Qing continued, "We can plan ahead for things in the west, but there is absolutely no need to send troops. Although it is a vassal state, it does not have much contact with us after all."

"Your Majesty means that you want to send troops to mediate." Shangguanyi continued: "Chu Suiliang and I are very opposed to it. Now that the people are living a good life, there is no need to send troops until it is absolutely necessary."

"Li Chengqian wants to do something." Gu Qing poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Yes, the new emperor always wants to do something when he ascends the throne." Shangguanyi nodded.

"You can dismiss Li Chengqian's idea."

"Rejected? We didn't reject it."

So many years of imperial autocracy have formed a kind of subconsciousness between the courtiers and the emperor. At most, the emperor should give some opinions on what courtiers want to do, but no one has ever done anything to reject the emperor's idea. Even Wei Zheng pointed at Li Er. Swear a few words.

"Try to dismiss it. Otherwise, I will appoint you three ministers to do something. Be bolder. If it doesn't work, I will talk to Li Chengqian."

Shangguanyi smiled strangely after hearing this, "The power of the ministers limits the power of the monarch?"

"Yes."

The emperor's fatuous courtiers can't follow suit. Although the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty is flawed, it is a good way to limit the monarchy. Even if the emperor does not go to court, the court and the world can still run normally. Sometimes I think about it. The embryonic form of the ticket system.

"I can try." Shangguanyi said, "But Chu Suiliang still said that we still have to pay proper respect to the emperor, not like you."

"Of course I understand."

After dinner, Shangguanyi began to help Li Zhi to arrange the sea trade. Gu Qing packed the food box and left here, and saw Zhao Rui was busy arranging a large number of civilian husbands.

"How's the Second Young Master Zhao?"

"Xiangguo." Second Young Master Zhao bowed to Gu Qing, "Everything is fine, it won't delay the sea trade."

"That's good." Gu Qing said that he wanted to leave, and Zhao Rui followed in a few steps.

He stopped in front of Gu Qing and said, "It's been so many years, I've been brooding over what happened before, and I can't figure it out, so please ask Xiangguo to enlighten me."

"Where did I get the ability to enlighten you?" Gu Qing smiled wryly, "If you want to talk about enlightenment, why don't you try offering incense in a temple?"

"No, it's something else." Zhao Rui said to Gu Qing, "The old man in Mangshan, he grew up with me. I also know that he has many secrets in his life. I always want to inherit his legacy. Secret, and to repay his kindness to me over the years, he has taught me many things since I was a child. Compared with the family, this old man is more like my relatives, but he chose you who have only met once. people."

Bringing up the old story again, Gu Qing lowered his head, recalling the old man again in his mind, he gave himself a stone tablet, a lie, and died in Mangshan.

"Everyone has already left, my condolences to Mr. Zhao Er." Gu Qing said to him.

Zhao Rui continued to ask, "Gu Qing, what did he give you?"

"I can't tell what exactly he gave me. Can the Second Master Zhao stop getting involved in this matter?" Gu Qing looked at him, "It's not easy for the old man to keep what he has been guarding all his life, and everyone is leaving now How about letting the past go with the wind?"

"It's the secret of longevity, isn't it!" Zhao Rui raised his voice and nodded, "I know! I know it all! There are many people in this world who are looking for longevity, from the emperor of Zhou to the first emperor! How many people are looking for longevity, you Gu Qing has a mysterious origin, possesses firearm manufacturing skills, you have a lot of unknowable knowledge, your physics has raised the object to a new level, you can even let your students make things that can fly in the air, Gu Qing! You Who the hell is it?"

"As you can see I'm just a normal guy."

"You are lying!" Zhao Rui said, "Gu Qing, you are not simple! Someone told me that your fate changed the fate of the entire Tang Dynasty. Efforts to push the back map go to waste."

Hearing this, Gu Qing raised his head solemnly, "Who said these words to you?"
