"Teacher, the imperial examination is about to be held. Don't worry, everything is stable."

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.

I don’t know what I should say, and I want to say a lot to Fang Xuanling, but I can’t say some things when I swallow them in my throat, and I always feel that some things are useless if I say them.

"The things in the court have been complicated recently." Fang Xuanling finally spoke.

"Indeed." Gu Qing replied as he looked at the situation in the field, "The court is like a pool of muddy water. I want to make the water clearer. Now it looks much clearer on the surface. I just don't know if there are big fish at the bottom of the water. If you don't catch the big fish, as long as the big fish tumbling a few times, the clear water will become turbid again."

"Are you worried?" Fang Xuanling sat on the tree stump and spoke.

"Why can I rest assured if someone is making trouble behind the scenes?" Gu Qing saw an ant crawling over his feet, "Does the teacher know Tang Jian?"

"Meet, a person who is arrogant." Fang Xuanling replied.

"What happened recently is related to Tang Jian. Sometimes I think he just wants to get the treatment he deserves. This idea is not too much. After being hiding by His Majesty for so many years, people will feel a little resentful, but the practice makes me very despise. I don't like him secretly doing something shameful in secret. I can check and balance me, but I also have to balance me openly."

"Gu Qing, you are a proud person." Fang Xuanling suddenly smiled.

"I just think they are not open and upright, although I am a little bit harmful to others and self-interested." Gu Qing also said.

"You feel a sense of frustration in your heart when dealing with Tang Jian, but you are just unwilling to admit it." Fang Xuanling said slowly, "You really want to find out who the person behind Tang Jian is, but you have never found a breakthrough, right?"

"yes."

"Why do you care so much?" Fang Xuanling asked, "Just do your current affairs well. If the other party takes action, you can fight back. If the other party doesn't take action, you can stay in peace. As for Tang Jian, you can escort him first until you stabilize the court."

"Teacher, I understand."

"Do you still feel frustrated now?" Fang Xuanling spoke.

"No more." Gu Qing nodded, "He is in the dark, I am in the light, the whole court is my own! As long as he dares to touch, I dare to hold him. My advantage is much greater than his."

Fang Xuanling nodded pertinently, "That's right."

"Father." Fang Yiai came with a bunch of pastries, "I put these pastries in the house."

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.

"Brother Yiai." Gu Qing waved and said.

"You are here too." Fang Yiai smiled and said, "How are you lately?"

"It's annoying in the court." Gu Qing said, "What about you, how have you been recently?"

"What else can I do?" Fang Yiai's expression began to be disappointed when he talked about this. "Gu Qing, you are also a prime minister now. Is there a place in the army? Hurry up and make a fuss for me."

When Mrs. Fang came, she grabbed Fang Yiai's ears, "Okay, you guy, you asked Gu Qing for an official position as soon as you came. Join the army. Are you a little serious about your head?"

"Mom, it hurts!" Fang Yiai struggled.

Looking at this scene, Gu Qing laughed out loud, "Brother Fang, there has been no war recently. Anyway, there will be no war in recent years. At most, small countries on the border have caused trouble with each other and have nothing to do with us. Even if you join the army, you may not be able to fight."

"That's it." Mrs. Fang echoed, "You, you, learn from Gu Qing! Don't be lazy all day long!"

"Is it really gone?" Fang Yiai asked in a low voice.

"And ask!" Mrs. Fang shouted loudly.

Fang Yiai immediately stopped.

"Gu Qing stay for dinner." Mrs. Fang held two fish, "The fish that had just caught up to the river in the village, and have a few drinks with my old man."

"Okay!" Gu Qing nodded.

As he spoke, Fang Yiai pulled Gu Qing's neck of clothes, "Gu Qing, do you think I'm living a miserable life?"

"It's pretty good." Putting Fang Yiai's shoulder, Gu Qing said, "Your parents are all by your side. You have a very capable brother. You don't have to worry about anything at home. Think about me."

Fang Yiai looked at Gu Qing in a daze. After knowing Gu Qing for so many years, Gu Qing came to Chang'an alone. There was no relative but only a teacher, Sun Simiao. In the hearts of many people, Gu Qing's orphan of unknown origin was brought out by Sun Simiao from the mountains.

At the dinner party of the Fang family, Gu Qing ate the dishes made by Mrs. Fang, "The teacher's wife's craftsmanship is really good."

"You boy can speak." Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "How can you, Gu Qing, have good skills? Who doesn't know that the food in your Gu family is the best in Chang'an?"

"My teacher's wife is too rewarded." Gu Qing poured wine for Fang Xuanling.

"I'm full." Fang Yiai put down the bowls and chopsticks, "Father, mother, I'll go back first."

"Wait!" Mrs. Fang took some new clothes and handed them to Fang Yiai, "The season will be changed soon, remember to pay attention to the warmth and coldness."

"Well, the boy understands." Fang Yiai took the clothes.

This scene made Gu Qing very heartwarming. He stood up as it was getting late and said, "Teacher, I'll go back first."

Fang Xuanling looked up at Gu Qing and said, "Well, go back early. There is one thing you should always remember that you are the prime minister now. Since you want to clear the court, you must set an example and not be favored in the face of major issues."

"Students understand." Gu Qing replied, "Students will never arrange military official positions for Yi Ai's brother."

Fang Yiai, who had just walked out of the house, almost couldn't stop.

"Go back." Fang Xuanling waved his hand.

"Why."

After Gu Qing and Fang Yiai left, only an old couple were left at home. Mrs. Fang said to Fang Xuanling, "Old man, that boy Gu Qing is very tired now."

"He is not tired. Now he is the one who is catching everything in the court himself." Fang Xuanling said while drinking wine: "He is under great pressure. He knows some things, but it is another thing to do. Don't worry too much. The backbone of the court is still there and will help Gu Qing do things. The officials in the Secretariat are all brought by me, and Chu Suiliang is there. The old generals in the court all look at Gu Qing. Gu Qing will not do anything randomly and dare not do anything wrong, and there is also the one from the Daming Palace."

"I'm old, drink less." Mrs. Fang took Fang Xuanling's wine and brewed him a cup of hot tea. "Dalang is a capable child, and Gu Qing is also a reassuring child. It's still Erlang, a kid, who is thinking about joining the army all day long, and I don't know what this kid thinks."

As she spoke, Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Xuanling, "Old man, will there be any war in the Tang Dynasty over the years?"
