?When a group of gentry children left cursing and cursing, the short man was still packing up the money he had obtained.

"I didn't expect these guys to be quite rich." The fat man walked all the way to the short man, "How about it, should I invite me to have a drink?"

? "The money I earned myself." The short man said.

? "What do you say you earn so much money to do?" The monk sat by the wall, "Isn't it enough to eat and drink enough?"

"Then what do you think Mr. Gu earns so much money?" asked the short man, "Actually, I don't have to earn too much. It's enough for me to marry a wife. It's not like Mr. Gu who earns money depends on his own ability. I just use my brain."

"You have a good brain. Among so many brothers, your brain is the best. Even if you eat a cake for several days, you will not starve to death. You are so smart." The fat monk quipped.

"I'm smart?" The dwarf threw a silver cake to the fat monk, "I'll give it to you."

"Not rare." The fat monk didn't take the short silver cake. "If you have time, please treat me to a drink. It's almost the same. Someone will do the next thing, so don't go too far."

"I know." The dwarf nodded and left.

The fat monk also sat for a while and came to a restaurant and said a few words to a few idle rangers before leaving.

When Li Zhi returned to the academy, he found that many people looked at him with strange eyes. He asked many people what problems he found. He hurriedly returned home, "It must be a good thing you did by Gu Qing!"

"Your Highness King Jin, don't thank me." Gu Qing said to Li Zhi.

"It's you, when will I stop paying for dinner?" Li Zhi said loudly, "Gu Qing, you are slandering me!"

"I have to do it as a last resort." Gu Qing sighed long.

After calming down, Li Zhi said quietly, "Gu Qing, do you think my prince will agree to this marriage?"

"How could I know his thoughts?" Gu Qing said calmly, "But don't worry, I will help His Highness King Jin settle this matter."

"I just can't figure it out. Gu Qing, do you want to settle me or the gentry?" Li Zhi said decadently, "Don't you pay for food? Do I look like that kind of person?"

The official Fan Jian, who was standing aside, remained silent.

"Actually, your father sent me a message an hour ago, saying that if His Highness King Jin had a few shortcomings, your father would have taken my life. He was like taking His Highness King Jin as a meat ticket, for fear that he would tear the tickets."

"Will you tear up the vote?" Li Zhi asked back.

"What does Your Highness King Jin think?" Gu Qing smiled slightly.

Under a quiet pavilion outside Gu Village, Cen Wenben cooked tea and asked Fang Xuanling, "Old Fang, I have heard about everything in the court recently."

"I am old and I have no time to take care of the affairs in the court." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Looking at Fang Xuanling's relaxed expression, Cen Wenben poured a bowl of hot tea, "I have never understood what Gu Qing wants to do, why he has to tossed the court into what he is now."

"This kid actually understands his mind." Fang Xuanling said, "Gu Qing doesn't admire the emperor much, and even despises the imperial power. To say something ruthless, this kid's mind is inconsistent with me."

"I would like to ask Mr. Fang for advice."

Fang Xuanling continued, "The world is divided and reunited, and emperors of all dynasties have worked hard to govern and have no moral principles. The rise and fall of the world is in the hands of an emperor. Gu Qing understands this very well. Rather than asking the emperor to pity the people of the world, it is better to restrict the emperor."

"Restrict the Emperor?"

"Emperors are human beings. They claim that they are just mortals and mortals. No one can live in the perfect way in their hearts. This is a contradictory emperor. An emperor who does not want to govern the world needs all the court officials to beg him to work hard to govern the country?"

Fang Xuanling said that Cen Wenben understood a rough idea, "So Gu Qing wanted to abolish the imperial system."

"The imperial system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years." Fang Xuanling said, "When I watched Gu Qing grow up, this kid was very disdainful of imperial power. He thought that the emperor would become a disaster in his heart, but abolishing the imperial system requires an opportunity, and this opportunity requires a long time to wait."

"I sometimes thought that this time might not appear. After seeing Gu Qing's attitude, I felt that this opportunity would appear." Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea, "I can't tell some things that I can't tell you. That's a feeling. Gu Qing always gave me the feeling, and he had an inexplicable confidence in his heart."

"Old Fang, let's take a look at the moment." Cen Wenben said, "Why did Gu Qing hand over the approval of the court affairs to Xu Jingzong, Shangguan Yi, and Chu Suiliang."

"It's not that these three people have great abilities, but that Gu Qing wants to strengthen the power of his ministers." Fang Xuanling said to Cen Wenben patiently, "The imperial skills have always been swaying the balance of the court, but the balance of the court is based on the emperor's efforts to govern. Once the balance of the unjust emperor appears, it will fall apart, and even repeat the second Zhao Gao, who is the eunuch, will be the dominant emperor!"

"It is better to balance the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers."

"I understand." Cen Wenben said again, "What should I do next? Faction disputes may arise between the courts."

"So there are only three people. No one can do without them. This is also a balance." Fang Xuanling looked at the peaceful scenery.

"Did Mr. Fang teach Gu Qing all these?"

"I have never taught him these things." Fang Xuanling sighed, "I just said something to him, maybe he would do this."

"For the country, not for the emperor?"

"It's going to be Qingming soon." Fang Xuanling said, "It's time to prepare to worship his ancestors."

Cen Wenben helped Fang Xuanling and stood up and walked into the village.

Wei Zheng was laughing while sitting on the village road and being teased by several children.

"What are you old man laughing at?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng.

"Have you finished talking?" Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Kong Yingda invites us to have a Qingming Festival?"

"Qingming Banquet?" Cen Wenben said.

"No one is called by us except for the old men." Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Hide in the small building and become a united state, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Now thinking about Gu Qing's free days, I really envy him."

Chang'an

The person who complained at Dali Temple was no longer there. The gentry thought that the matter could be revealed like this, but unexpectedly, the incident of King Li Zhi of Jin spread farther and farther away for a while, like a flood that broke into a dam!
