Chapter 1057 The Great World (1)
The news that Li Chengqian was about to abdicate spread like wildfire. This was said by Li Chengqian's Ganlu Palace. The eunuchs and maids in the palace heard it. The most panicked thing was Li Chengqian's harem. Except for Li Xiang, the other children of Li Chengqian were only seven or eight years old, and only Li Xiang was thirteen years old this year.
The imperial heirs are qualified to inherit the throne. Every concubine wants her children to ascend the throne, become the empress dowager who is in charge of the world, and become the second Empress Changsun.
The news that Li Chengqian was only in his thirties and was about to abdicate also caused a huge wave of speculation in the court, and he did not attend court for several days in a row.
Another news spread in the court, and Gu Qing also wanted to abdicate and leave the position of prime minister. This was what the Secretary-General Chu Suiliang said. For a time, the court was in constant storms, and all kinds of news were flying all over the place.
Pei Xingjian found Gu Qing and asked, "Teacher, are you really going to leave the position of Prime Minister?"
"Yes." Gu Qing nodded slightly, "I'll bother you at that time. Li Chengqian definitely hopes that you will have Shangguan Yi and Chu Suiliang to read the edict that asked me to leave the position of prime minister."
"Students are ashamed of the teacher." Pei Xingjian said with his head down.
"Enough, enough." Gu Qing said: "My life has only been this ten years. In the end, I can live with idle clouds and wild cranes. I will rely on you for many years in the future."
The teacher's life is only ten years, and it is only ten years that Gu Qing asked Chang'an to make changes in Zhongyuan. Everyone saw it. Pei Xingjian said to Gu Qing: "Teacher, we will do it well. The teacher's royal family owes you a kindness. As a teacher's disciple, I also owe the teacher a reward."
"No need to repay me. If I really want to say that it is my hometown that is rewarded, it has nothing to do with you. I just think that God asked me to return to the Tang Dynasty, so I should do something. My hometown raised me, and God asked me to return to this era. I did my best."
Pei Xingjian knelt down in front of Gu Qing and bowed deeply, "Teacher, it's not used in the court."
"Okay, I won't come." Gu Qing said.
Li Xiang looked at Pei Xingjian leaving the Gu family with red eyes, and came to Gu Qing with uneasy feeling, "Teacher."
Looking at Li Xiang who is now growing taller and speaking and doing things more steadily, Gu Qing said, "How many years have you been here again."
"It's been five years." Li Xiang said.
"What have you learned in the past five years?" Gu Qing asked.
"Students learned nothing, but students saw the beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, saw everything in the market, saw what the people needed, saw the importance of knowledge, saw a spirit that changed the times, saw a persistent and hardworking student of academy, saw poor students leaving their homes facing the loess and facing the sky and entering the court, they can change their destiny through their own efforts."
"Then what do you think you should do after becoming an emperor?" Gu Qing asked again.
"Students think that it is not what the emperor wants to do, but what the world needs, so that the emperor needs to do it." Li Xiang said.
Gu Qing nodded with a smile, "The concubines in your father's harem will definitely make moves recently. I will send you to Chang'an tomorrow, and I won't go in the palace. You just need to walk into the palace step by step, and walk to Taiji Hall step by step and stand in front of the throne. Everything will block you, and no one who will compete with you will take action. You just need to walk forward, and I will look at you below."
"Students understand." Li Xiang said.
The fat monk and the short man stood in the night in Chang'an, standing in front of the short man and the fat monk Zhang Yu Palace. He said to the secret line of the Qing Gang: "Remember to hold all the people who have something to do with the concubines in the harem, but you can't kill anyone, and you can't die even if you die.
"Yes!" A group of Green Gang killers left immediately after receiving the words.
The short man asked Zhang Yugong curiously, "I really don't want you to come to Chang'an to make arrangements this time."
"This is the last time. This is the last time Gu Houye helped the royal family to do things and helped Li Shimin complete his last step. Whether it is the royal family or Gu Houye, they will make them more decent."
The fat monk yawned, but the short man understood that after so many years of rectification, from Li Yuan's older generation at the beginning to Li Shimin's Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other old ministers, to Pei Xingjian, Shangguan Yi and other poor students promoted by Gu Qing, three batches of people in the court have been replaced.
Each group symbolizes a change of power, from Li Yuan, Li Shimin, to Gu Qing, there is no Li Chengqian's own power among the three.
Now it is a power change. Li Shimin wants to leave a completely peaceful court and hand it over to the next one. Gu Qing has too much power and Li Chengqian is too obsessed with it. Only Li Xiang is like a piece of white paper, very clean.
A clean court and an unsuccessful heir, this is what Li Tang Jiangshan wants.
"Go to bed early." The short man said to the fat monk.
The fat monk sighed and said, "I'd better live in Bizhai honestly. I'm afraid we won't recognize the world in the future."
The dwarf nodded silently.
Li Shimin sat in his house, watching the leaves falling with the wind, and his old face stared at the moon with a clear look.
"It's getting late." Emperor Changsun later said to Li Er.
"Well, let's take a rest." Li Er stood up with a cane.
Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenben were discussing the major changes that would be expected in the court this time in Wei Zheng's room.
"Li Xiang relies most on Gu Qing now," said Cen Wenben.
"Now, who can compete with Gu Qing in Chang'an?" Wei Zheng's old voice said: "If Gu Qing enters the court, Li Chengqian cannot stop Gu Qing. As long as Gu Qing wants power, no one can stop him."
Fang Xuanling also smiled and said, "Gu Qing's kindness in his heart, the morality that Gu Qing adheres to in his heart and the entrustedness of us older generations, Gu Qing will not take that step. He is a good child after all, at least he did not disappoint us."
Cen Wenben said to Fang Xuanling: "Among all of us, Mr. Fang has the greatest expectations and entrustment for Gu Qing."
Fang Xuanling smiled and did not deny it, "The world in the future will be another world. I don't know what the world will be like in the future, and how long can we old men live."
"I really want to live another eighty years." Wei Zheng said with a wry smile.
In the academy, there was a person standing in front of Li Tai, "Long time no see, Li Ke."
"I didn't want to disturb you all, but I only felt relieved when I saw Li Chengqian leave the throne and Gu Qing leave the prime minister with my own eyes." Li Ke said.
