A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

It was already night when Gu Qing came back, and he was already hungry, so he sat down and looked at the table of food and people, "I'm exhausted."

"What's so tiring about you?" Wu Mei said to Gu Qing while taking care of her youngest son, "He's working, so you're just pointing and starting

"It's been a day of pointing and pointing, can you not be tired?" Gu Qingchang sighed.

Li Xiang looked at a table of sumptuous meals. This was the first time he had seen such a scene. It was the first time he ate at Gu’s house. Everyone sat at a round table, talking and laughing, and the palace usually had a table for each person. table.

Gu Xiao gave Li Xiang a chicken leg, "My fried chicken leg is delicious, do you want to try it?"

"Okay." Li Xiang also began to eat lively, took a bite of the chicken leg and tried other dishes.

When sitting together, the distance between people is also unknowingly shortened a lot.

After the meal, Di Renjie, Li Zhi and Pei Xingjian got together, and Gu Qing sat alone in the study and looked at the quaint file in his hand, which recorded some things about Qin Shixiu's Chi Dao.

Gao Yang came to the study and brought Gu Qing a cup of hot water, "The prince and Gu Xiao get along pretty well."

"En." Gu Qing nodded slightly.

"Gu Qing." Gao Yang said in a low voice, "Since you are the prince's teacher, I'm afraid it's not good for you to ignore him like this."

"What? Now you're starting to speak for your nephew." Gu Qing looked at Gao Yang with a smile.

Gao Yang looked at Li Xiang who was playing chess with Gu Xiao outside the door and said, "If you don't plan to teach him, I will give him the martial arts I learned from Sister Yue."

"It's okay." Gu Qing was unmoved.

"It's really turning a blind eye." Gao Yang smiled wryly.

Gu Qing took Gao Yang's hand and said in a low voice, "It's not that I don't care about him. This kid has already started learning since he stepped into the door of my Gu family. If he can't change his values, I can't teach him anything. thing."

"What do you mean?" Gao Yang asked doubtfully.

"I hope he can truly integrate into the academy and into our family. If he can't integrate into us, no matter how sincere and humble he is, it will be useless." Gu Qing said.

After Gao Yang listened, he looked at Gu Qing for a long time, "You want Li Xiang to be like Gu Xiao, the same person as the children in the academy?"

Gu Qing nodded and picked up the file again to read it.

Gao Yang now understands what Gu Qing meant. The so-called values ​​are what Gu Qing has always adhered to. Gu Qing has never been despicable between people. There is more of a kind of equality. Gao Yang can feel this. In this sense, whether it is the teaching of the queen mother or the etiquette that has been received in the palace, women have always been subordinates, and the royal family is superior.

But in Gu Qing's eyes, everyone is equal. This can be felt especially in the Gu family. Gu Qing respects Wu Mei and herself very much, and often listens to her own opinion. This feeling makes Gao Yang very happy. Comfortable, at least without that sense of distance.

Perhaps this is what Gu Qing has always insisted on. Unknowingly, Gu Qing has been adhering to this concept since the establishment of the academy. The academy was just a small bookstore, and now it is still left after it is huge. this concept.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang walked out of Gu Qing's study room. Gu Qing seemed to have more hopes for Li Xiang, the child of Li Xiang. What really matters is that the child can accept this value. If Gu Qing can't accept it, he will just keep him at home. If the child can take over.

Gu Qing will teach Li Xiang a lot of things. The so-called crown prince does not need to be taken into account at all. As long as Gu Qing wants this child to become an emperor, Gu Qing will mobilize a lot of power to make this child an emperor. After being in the Gu family for so many years, Gao Yang knows How strong and powerful the Gu family really is, even the royal family may not be able to shake the Gu family easily. This new value is not only reflected in the family but also in the academy.

Just like what Fang Xuanling said back then, one Gu Qing is enough to give Datang a headache, how many Gu Qings will come out of the academy in the future.

It is not the so-called power and money, but the values ​​that Gu Qing brings to the children are Gu Qing's real weapon against the royal family, and this weapon is the weakness of the royal family. To overthrow the royal family is just a shout for Gu Qing.

And under this kind of value, the structure of the court has changed. The academies, factories, and the Maritime Trade Department have always upheld this kind of value. There has never been a so-called slavery that only needs an equivalent return.

Li Zhi was in the Gu family when he was a child, and this kind of concept unconsciously influenced Li Zhi during the relationship between Li Zhi and Gu Qing. Hard shield.

Now the entire court is being affected by the current academy environment, as many students enter the court, the court will be continuously assimilated by the academy.

Gao Yang also knows that there is still a kind of power in the Gu family, but this feeling is very vague, as if Gu Qing has mastered something that no one else has, maybe it is a kind of prophet?Perhaps it is an absolute vision. What Gu Qing possesses may not be owned by anyone in the whole world. Gu Qing has been passing it on to many, many people silently in a way that is acceptable to people today, until he is recognized by more and more people. people accept.

Chapter 999 Construction Maniac

Pei Xingjian came to Gu Qing's study, looked at the person who influenced his life, and called out in a low voice, "Teacher."

Gu Qing looked up at Pei Xingjian, "Come in."

Pei Xingjian walked up to Gu Qing, "Teacher, it's getting late."

"Yes." Gu Qing glanced at the night outside the window and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier, the family has arranged a guest room."

After the silence, Pei Xingjian still stood where he was, and Gu Qing asked doubtfully, "You have something to say to me?"

Pei Xingjian nodded, "After thinking for a long time, I decided to tell the teacher about this matter."

"Go ahead." Gu Qing looked at Pei Xingjian.

Lowering his head, Pei Xingjian whispered: "Li Chengqian said that as long as he can let the teacher put the money in the bank, he can give the position of Shang Shuling to the disciple, and the disciple also understands that Li Chengqian will let himself force the teacher Leave the position of prime minister."

Hearing this, Gu Qing smiled and said, "It seems that Li Chengqian wants to reuse you, but he doesn't trust you that much."

"Yes." Pei Xingjian said, "The disciple thought that Li Chengqian might have guessed the relationship between the disciple and the teacher, but he was not sure, that's why he did it."

Gu Qing stood up and patted Pei Xingjian on the shoulder, "It's hard for you."

"No, it's the disciple who is sorry for the teacher. The disciple should not hesitate, and should reject Li Chengqian." Pei Xingjian bowed and said.

Gu Qing shook his head slightly, "You don't have to feel guilty, even if Li Chengqian doesn't do it, I hope you can do it."

Pei Xingjian knew that Gu Qing would say that, but he still bowed.

The study was very quiet, only the flame of the oil lamp was shaking. Fan Jian, who was standing outside the door, closed the door softly and stood guard outside.

Gu Qing looked at the bright moon outside the window, "I once gave Di Renjie a question, and if he could answer the answer, he could be a teacher from me. This question was the door of life and death that I used to test the envoys of various countries. Now I I think he already knows the answer, but he doesn't want to say it, if I give this question to you, can you answer it?"

"Yes." Pei Xingjian said, "It's just that the disciple doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't want to disappoint the teacher. It's better not to say the answer. The disciple knows that the teacher's words are the correct answer. If the disciple really follows this answer, the student is afraid that he will never be able to answer the question again." Can't face the teacher."

"Then let's not talk about it." Gu Qing said to Pei Xingjian, "Sometimes it is difficult to make a dilemma, and I don't care, because I can't live without Chang'an in my life. You are different. You still have a long time to live. You are my disciple, I am your teacher, the teacher does not want to see you give up your future in this dilemma, because the teacher gave up the court, if you give up, what we have done for many years is not what we have done Is it in vain? My disciple naturally wants to play a decisive role in the court. I want the whole world to know that you are my disciple.

Pei Xingjian looked at Gu Qing in surprise.

"You don't have to bear anything. In fact, these are the shackles you have given yourself. You don't have to worry about your identity. I will tell Li Chengqian that you are my disciple in a way, and I will let more people know that you are mine. Disciple, Li Chengqian will not not use you, because Li Chengqian can't choose anyone else besides you, but as my disciple, do you know what you need to do after I abdicate?"

Pei Xingjian put away his thoughts, stood up straight and smiled suddenly, "Thank you teacher for your guidance, the disciples understand."

"The old saying is good for the onlooker to understand. Sometimes we jump out of the rules, and we will find another answer. Don't confine yourself to a dilemma. It is better to look at the problem from different angles. There are always more ways than problems."

"Yes." Pei Xingjian said, "I understand."

It was already late at night when I left Gu's house. Pei Xingjian looked up at the stars all over the sky and felt a sense of enlightenment. This feeling was like being squeezed for many years and then suddenly released. For the peace left by the Tang Dynasty, for himself Let go of your ideals and future, your own achievement is the greatest reward for the teacher, it turns out to be that simple, Gu Qing gave Di Renjie a choice between life and death.

And the secret that I carry is the map left by my teacher. To become Gu Qing's disciple and enter the court, this secret has never been necessary to bear. When I let go of this secret one day, it is the time when I can really show my fist. , This is the biggest gain for me as Gu Qing, jumping out of the problem, jumping out of all the rules and shackles to look at the problem can see more.

For a long time, my eyes have been limited to what I see. Isn’t that what the academy teaches? Throw away the so-called cognition all the time, and look at where the wind comes from and how the water flows down from another angle. Yes, how the seasons are replaced.

In fact, I have found the answer to the questions that the teacher gave me a long time ago, but I have restrained myself.

In the early morning of the second day, another incident happened, causing the village to be noisy. Gu Qing wanted to build the road again, and he wanted to build the road all the way to Hedong Road and Hexi Road. Two more roads were added, and the direction was still far away. It is connected to Hexi Road and Hedong Road, connecting Chang'an with the surrounding areas. Some people came to see the construction situation outside the village. It took only a few days. A thousand-meter-long road has been built from outside the village. This kind of road is not like other roads. This kind of road is very flat, as if it is even flatter than the roads in Chang'an Street. It is made of bricks and stones on the ground and poured with a kind of mud mixed with clay. of crushed stones.
