"General of the Zuowu Guard?" Li Taibai patted Wang Xuance on the shoulder and said, "Yes, Lao Wang."

Wang Xuance also smiled embarrassedly.

"We must also have a good meal!" Zhang Jiuling also said.

"You know how to drink?" Li Tai looked at Zhang Jiuling and said, "You left without saying goodbye in the academy. After the war ended, I didn't want to come back as soon as possible. I'm still staying on the sea for so long. Do you know that the imperial examination will be next month? I see how you deal with it, so follow me back to the academy quickly."

Zhang Jiuling apologized and smiled.

Wang Xuance also said: "On another day, I will invite you to have a good meal."

In the first month after the beginning of spring in the second year of Qianyuan, a huge imperial examination began. A new generation of young people from the Tang Dynasty were about to enter the court. The number of participants in the imperial examination reached almost 50,000, an unprecedented number.

It is said that this is the result of years of precipitation. In addition to the largest institution of Tang Dynasty built by Gu Qing, many institutions have appeared everywhere. More and more books are now becoming cheap, and children from ordinary people can afford to read.

This time, Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu and Yang Zhao were all on the list.

Li Xiang sat on the throne and looked at the three people who had already entered the government, and smiled for a long time.

Li Taibai moved into the village, and still hoped to see Gu Qing one day.

Although Gu Qing does not appear in front of others now, the academy has always kept Gu Qing's name. In addition to teaching the knowledge left by the predecessors, the academy also has left behind the knowledge, physics, and new mathematical algorithms that Gu Qing always wants to popularize.

Dare to question, dare to ask questions, dare to explore this is the constitution that the academy has now decided.

The old Fang Xuanling said to Li Er: "Although Gu Qing cannot escape from the world, what Gu Qing left behind will affect many children in our Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, like Gu Qing's past, he has the courage to question the world, just like what Gu Qing did back then, he has been resisting His Majesty and resisting the injustice of this world."

"I can count the number of times this kid bows in front of me." Li Er said with his turbid eyes at the academy in the distance.

"Now Princess Jinyang can be the only one. After Sun Simiao passed away, she was Sun Simiao's heir. I remember that after Sun Old Goddess Sun, Princess Jinyang got angry and asked the academy to set an elephant for Sun Old Goddess. If Gu Qing hadn't been there, she would have rebelled from the academy. Now the newly opened medical school in the academy has established Sun Simiao's image, and she wants to pass on all the medical skills left by Sun Simiao."

"It's all good things." Li Er nodded slightly.

"Yes, think about the scenes we had back then and the prosperous times today, I almost don't know this world." Fang Xuanling said.

This time Li Er did not answer Fang Xuanling's words. Sitting in the sun, he closed his eyes, his face with a smile, and he couldn't even see the ups and downs of his breath. Wang Qin stumbled into Li Er's breathing and knelt on the ground, crying and said, "Your Majesty! Have a good journey."

Times have changed, and three years have passed, and the industry of the Tang Dynasty is developing rapidly. Gu Xiao took over all the business of the Gu family. In March of that year, the money shop had already controlled all the silver and copper coins in Goguryeo, Nanzhao and Tubo. New currencies have gradually entered the market.

Zhao Rui rebuilt the Zhao family and vowed that the Zhao family would not be allowed to enter the court for generations and no longer call themselves a family.

In May of that year, the Gu family annexed all the businesses of the Li family in Zhao County. After the head of the Li family in Zhao County left, no one knew where she went, but someone had seen her in the Gu family.

Princess Changle left Ganye Temple and was accompanied by Empress Changsun, who was already old, and was taken to the Gu family for recuperation. Some people also said that Princess Changle gave birth to a child for Gu Qing.

At the ceremony of the following year, all nations came to pay tribute.

Ten years later, Li Xiang sat in the palace, picked up the book that Gu Qing gave him again, and said to himself: "Teacher, students have always understood your philosophy. In fact, you have never told me that imperial power is an existence full of ills. Many of your ideas conflict with imperial power. Perhaps this is the incompatible place between you and your father and your grandfather. You have fought for so many years to want to introduce this idea into people's hearts in the gentlest way and take root in the hearts of many children."

"Students understand that you have also said that imperial power is irreplaceable in the times, and this system cannot be overturned in a few words. It takes a process, a process of repeated argumentation, a process of repeated argumentation over a long period of time."

Li Xiang looked at the book and whispered: "Teacher, I will let the world witness it, the persistence in your heart, the hometown in your heart."

The Tang Dynasty entered a period of rapid change, until the Tang Dynasty saw trains and electricity appeared.

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and time has covered up many things and many memories. Even though Gu Qing's life is only more than ten years in history, this short ten years is the most memorable period. New legends and many stories have appeared in the market.

Stories from children, memories of gossips from the elderly.

It was another snowy day. The old Gu Qing was sitting in a wheelchair with white hair and allowed Gu Xiao to push him. Behind him were Gu Qing's children.

This is a cemetery, and each tombstone is inlaid with a photo. Gu Qing stood up with a crutch supporting his old man's body and walked step by step to the tombstones. He smiled and said, "I'm back to see you again."

Gu Qing wiped every tombstone with his old hands, and stopped in front of the last tombstone, which had his own name written on it.

Sitting on his tombstone, Gu Qing looked at the other tombstones and said, "I'm afraid of scaring you when I say something. Wu Mei may have known it. I've been afraid of coming to this era, and I've also been ridiculous. I have knowledge beyond this era. At that time, I even felt that I could dominate this era. If you weren't by my side, I wouldn't know what kind of person I would become."

"I have become the richest person in the world in just thirteen years. I think if I make more aggressive, I might be able to take charge of the whole world. I also have selfish thoughts. I am not afraid that you will laugh at me. I have had such an idea countless times and overturned everything. But it's not possible. Qin Qiong took me to Chang'an, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and other elders who took care of me made me grateful. I often warn myself that even if I have a little conscience, I cannot let down this era, and let them down."

"I am a person who knows the ending. I deeply understand the horror of time. When I followed my master to Chang'an and later built the Pandora's box of firearms, I knew everything had changed."

"This change scares me, I am afraid that everything will become out of control, but what can I do after thinking about it? I can only face it, but fortunately it has not punished me yet, nor has it made me suffer the consequences. I am also glad that I have not become extreme. I am grateful to everyone. It is you who made me feel in this era that I am also an ordinary person, and I can also integrate into this era. You seem to have accepted this unique example of me."

"Let me live with you and change with you. Thank you, you made me feel that I am still alone."

"They often ask me, Gu Qing, where you are from, it is difficult for me to answer. I lied to them. My hometown is not actually in a certain place, but in the land of my hometown. Under my feet is my hometown. This place that has raised me is very beautiful."

"Some people also think of me mysteriously. They explore my origins because my knowledge has covered many people's cognitions. My knowledge comes from another era, which was a very magnificent era. I believe that time will not let everyone down, and it will also live up to me equally."

Gu Qing picked up the awl and hammer in his hand, carved the words he wanted to leave on his tombstone, thanking time, thanking everyone around me, thanking this era for the people of this era for accepting me as an uninvited guest.

After all, Gu Qing looked at his tombstone, looking at his proud face on the photo of the tombstone. Standing beside him were Wu Mei, Gao Yang, Master, the playful little Squirrel, the reluctant Li Zhi, the persistent Di Renjie, the hipster-smiling Li Tai, the serious Fang Yizhi, the serious face, Cheng Chumo, carrying a wine jar, Su Dingfang wearing a armor, the scholarly Pei Xingjian, the somewhat stunned Xue Rengui, the serious Li Er, the kind-hearted Fang Xuanling, the deliberate Li Chengqian, the kind-hearted Shangguan Yi...

Still want to say a few words
