Seeing Gu Qing drink the tea in the cup and drink it in one sip, he glanced at Li Er's expression, observed Li Chengqian's expression, and said involuntarily: "I should have finished drinking this cup until the next one."

Li Er forced a smile, "When did you think I want to take your life?"

"It's nothing, let's continue." Gu Qing sat down right away

Li Er said, "One of you is my son, and the other one is my grown-up. Gu Qing, after so many years, I don't need to explain some things clearly. Do you still care about the past?"

"Don't worry." Gu Qing shook his head and said.

"Chengqian, I had hesitation in my heart when I was appointed as the prime minister. But if Gu Qing had not supported the court, would you think there would be the present in the court?" Li said.

Li Chengqian lowered his head and said, "My son knows the good intentions of his father."

"No one can say that anyone is innocent in the face of power, so is Changsun Wuji, and so is Tang Jian. The elders in the court were all. In the past, I could suppress them, but now that I have come down, ambitious people naturally want to go up. Fang Xuanling talked about the disadvantages of the position of prime minister."

Li Er sighed.

"I haven't thought about the contradiction in the position of prime minister. In ancient times, there were Lu Buwei, Shang Yang, Li Si, and now Gu Qing?" Li Er whispered: "Actually, I have never wanted Gu Qing to be Shang Yang, and Gu Qing didn't want to be Shang Yang, because you, Gu Qing, just don't want power, you just want to live a good life of one acre of three parts of your land. Are you right?"

"Because I'm lazy, right?"

Gu Qing blinked and looked at Li Er, and Li Er also looked at Gu Qing meaningfully.

Withdrew his eyes, Gu Qing looked at Li Chengqian again and said, "You will continue to be your emperor. It will be up to you for how long you will be. I will retreat from the position of Prime Minister, but not now."

Li Chengqian stared at Gu Qing and asked, "When."

"You will know when the time comes." Gu Qing waved and asked Wang Qin to continue the tea again.

"I have no idea what I do, and I don't know how much room there is." Li Chengqian said.

"If you can't understand, how about you playing a chess game?" Li Er asked Wang Qin to bring a chess game. "In one month, I played chess with Gu Qing. Gu Qing's chess game inspired me a lot. Now I have a slap in my hand. I don't know what it would be like if you can play two of you."

The chess game was placed in front of the two of them, Li Er carefully observed their expressions, looked at the situation on the chessboard, and Li Chengqian frowned, while Gu Qing had a expressionless face.

Gu Qing and Li Chengqian entered Li Er's house together. This incident alarmed many people. Yang Sheng hurried to Li Junxian and asked, "You said Gu Qing and Li Chengqian won't fight."

"I don't know." Li Junxian shook his head blankly.

"No one will die, right? You said that if Gu Qing killed Li Chengqian, would Gu Qing be the emperor?" Yang Sheng continued to ask.

"Say a few less words." Fang Xuanling walked away and said, "No matter how nonsense Gu Qing is, he is not a person who doesn't understand the truth. Even if Li Chengqian is overkilling, he will not be able to move Gu Qing."

"Is that true?" Yang Sheng was still a little worried, and he had the urge to climb into the wall of Li Er's house.

Cheng Yaojin pulled Qin Qiong all the way: "I feel something is wrong these days, I'm afraid something is going to happen."

The old master Kong Yingda came, Cen Wenben, Wei Zheng, and Yan Liben all followed. For a time, Li Er's house was filled with old ministers from the previous dynasty and many powerful people.

Wu Mei sat at home, and the concierge had reported several times. Many customers and applauded powerful people came to find out the news.

"Now Gu Qing is not here, everyone who comes to inquire about the news will be kicked out." Wu Mei had a rare anger on her face.

The Gu family stayed in the door and the court was silent. This morning, Li Chengqian was talking about it under Chengtian's gate. Many people already knew about it. This time, Li Chengqian and Gu Qing came to Li Er together, as if something important was coming to the end.

Before Li Er's stay at home, there were more and more people. In addition to Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda who were surrounded by nearby people, there were many villagers in the distance.

"Does Mr. Fang think Gu Qing should abdicate?" Cen Wenben asked Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling just shook his head slightly, not knowing whether this shaking of his head was supposed to mean or something else, so everyone had to hold their breath and wait.

Time passed by moment after moment.

At the house, Wang Qin poured tea for the two of them with his own hands and had already drunk two pots of tea. Wang Qin was still cooking another pot aside for fear that it would not be enough. The house was a little hot, so Gu Qing pulled his collar to make himself feel more comfortable.

More than an hour passed, and the chess pieces on the chessboard fell two or three steps.

The difficulty of this chess game was beyond Gu Qing's expectations. Li Chengqian was making a move now. Seeing that the white piece in his hand could not fall, the sweat of beans fell on the chessboard, it took Li Chengqian a long time to leave.

Gu Qing took off his coat, it was almost noon and the heat in the room became more and more breathless.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had already lost a son, Gu Qing poured a mouthful of tea into his mouth and said, "I want to drink cold water!"

"Only hot water." Wang Qin said with a smile.

Gu Qing looked at Li Er next to him. The old guy was breathing evenly and seemed to be asleep, and he could sleep in such a hot environment.

"It's your turn." Li Chengqian wiped the sweat from his forehead and obviously couldn't stand the heat here.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Baizi and Heizi were still evenly matched. After taking these few steps, it seemed like they had an illusion that as long as both sides did not make big mistakes, the game would always be a game of chess.

Holding the black spot in his hand, Gu Qing thought for a long time, tentatively left one and ate a few white spots from Li Chengqian.

It was Bai Zi's turn, and Li Chengqian did not rush to pick up the chess piece but asked: "Before you come here, you tell the story of a farmer and a snake."

"It's just a fairy tale, I think it's quite like the situation between you and me." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"Tell me, let me hear it." Li Chengqian said.

After taking another sip of hot tea, Gu Qing said, "One cold winter, a farmer used his body to warm the snake that was about to freeze to death. The snake woke up from the warmth, but took a bite from the farmer. Before his death, the farmer said that he had actually saved a poor poisonous snake."

After listening to this story, Li Chengqian looked strange.

Gu Qing said again: "This is a story circulating in my hometown. It is usually told to children."

"Even if it is for children, the truth is intriguing."

“This is nature.”
