"His Prince Jin changed his mind?" Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi with interest.

"I can bring her here, and if she doesn't want to force her, what if she doesn't want to?" Li Zhi said, "Now go to the Maritime Trade Department with me."

Li Zhi could say this, Gu Qing nodded with confidence, "This is the only way to behave like this. Let's go, I'll go to your maritime trade department to show off my power."

After Gu Qing said this, Li Zhi always felt that he was still fooled by Gu Qing. As he said that, he still followed Gu Qing's intention. When he woke up, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten something. He thought that he could fool Gu Qing to come to the Hai Trade Department, and he should find an excuse to let Gu Qing go to the Hai Trade Department. He had to negotiate terms with Gu Qing. He had always been the one who had suffered losses when discussing terms with Gu Qing.

"Why is Your Highness King Jin looking reluctant?" Gu Qing said again, "If you don't want to go down to the Hai Trade Department, you can't go down."

"Where is there, there is no." Li Zhi smiled hard, making mistakes every step, and it would be more careful when talking to Gu Qing in the future. If you are not careful, you will fall into his trap and deduce it several times in your mind.

Gu Qing and Li Zhi came to the Maritime Trade Department outside the village. More than a dozen young people stood outside the Maritime Trade Department, looking forward to the busy Maritime Trade Department.

These people were all officials in the court who called for resignation and memorials and a few were still hesitating whether to resign. Li Zhi and Gu Qing stood in front of everyone, and then everyone suddenly realized.

When Liu Wang saw Gu Qing, he hurriedly saluted, "I have met the Prime Minister."

"My name is Liu Wang, I know you." Gu Qing said to him.

Liu Wang looked excited and hesitated for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Li Zhi also said to Liu Wang, "Now you understand everything?"

"Everyone understands it." Liu Wang said, "After the official returns, he will write a memorial to resign. It turns out that the person who ate cakes with him yesterday was His Highness King Jin. He was very arrogant before, so he asked His Highness King Jin to forgive his crimes."

"It's okay, everyone will do this." Li Zhi looked at the people in front of him and said, "You can step down from the official position in the court and come to the Haimai Department. I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. Although the Haimai Department is not as orthodox as the official position in the court, I can guarantee that you can get more opportunities here and higher returns. Your monthly salary will be dozens of times that of the Haimai Department. At present, there are dozens of vacancies in my hands. I hope you can help me. I am grateful to you here."

Zhao Rui stood aside and stared at the scene in front of him. Gu Qing was leisurely and relaxed, and Li Zhi was talking passionately. Gu Qing's actions were not a gentleman, but they were not a normal method. He was digging officials in the court. Gu Qing's current status does not need to be carried out secretly like this. Gu Qing wanted to support Li Zhi, and he thought more extremely. If the current emperor was not Li Chengqian but Li Zhi, would Gu Qing's status be higher or even more powerful?

With the relationship between Gu Qing and Li Zhi, Gu Qing will get more benefits from supporting Li Zhi. Why did Gu Qing support Li Chengqian to ascend the throne and treat Li Chengqian like this? Besides, why is it that now that Li Zhi is supported like this? Even though he is full of doubts in his heart, he always feels that there must be a reason for Gu Qing to do this.

Could it be that Gu Qing didn't want to be Lu Buwei but Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty? Judging from the current situation, Li Chengqian is struggling and his reputation is not as good as Gu Qing. Gu Qing's contribution is too great, so great that Li Chengqian can only look back on him. Whether it is the support of officials in the court or the reputation among the people, except for Li Chengqian's orthodox, Gu Qing steadily suppresses Li Chengqian on any aspect. Gu Qing is very close to that supreme position, just one step away.

As long as Gu Qing wants to get the world of Li Tang, with his current strength, he still smiles bitterly in his heart after thinking about this. Gu Qing is really a person who can't see through it.

Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi's every move and assigned the positions of these people. He started chatting with these people, talking about life and ambitions. He had nothing to do with him. He walked around the Maritime Trade Department and looked at Zhao Rui who was directing people to move things.

Chang'an

Li Chengqian left Ganlu Palace and walked out of Chengtian Gate to look like a private visit. She originally planned to ask the reasons for her resignation by virtue of the wise and polite people. She found the residences of several new officials in the court. After finding a few, she found that these people were not at home. After careful investigation, she realized that they had all gone to the Hai Trade Department!

The Hai Trade Department? Li Chengqian was angry and found out that Gu Qing was making trouble again. The Hai Trade Department was opened by Gu Qing and hosted by Zhinu. It was impossible for Zhinu to do this overnight. Only Gu Qing can do this.

Li Chengqian asked the car sedan to leave Chang'an all the way, but was stopped before he left the city. It was not someone else who stopped the car but Li Tai and King Li Ke of Wu.

Li Tai is not surprising. Isn’t Li Ke now in Jiangdong, Dongwu, his fiefdom? Why did he come to Chang'an? I was very surprised in my heart why King Wu did not report when he returned to Chang'an.

"Why are the emperor brother preparing to leave Chang'an today?" Li Tai asked Li Chengqian, who had just lifted the curtain and looked at him.

"I have met the emperor's brother." Li Ke said with a bow.

"Li Ke?" Li Chengqian walked out of the carriage in confusion, "Why are you back?"

"Today is the birthday of my mother's forty years old. I'm here to come back in a hurry. I haven't had time to report it." Li Ke said, "I thought I would go to report to the emperor now. I saw the emperor's car coming out, and now I'm here."

Li Tai said again, "What are the emperor's rushing to do in a hurry? Brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, how about having a drink together? It's in my residence in Chang'an."

Li Chengqian also thought for a while, "Well, Qingque, please lead the way."

"Yes!" Li Tai turned around and took Li Ke and Li Chengqian to his mansion, with a meaningful smile on his face. What does Li Chengqian want to do, he is clear in his heart. Now Zhinu must be lobbying the young people in the court who have just resigned. The atmosphere at this time is very subtle. Li Chengqian must not be allowed to break the current atmosphere.

The Wei Wang Mansion is now a bit depressed. Li Tai's family has moved to to live in the academy and has not been back for a long time. Those who stay here are servants looking at the mansion.

The three of them sat in the mansion. Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke and said, "I haven't seen you for some years, are you okay these days?"

"Everything is fine." Li Ke said politely, "In fact, the land of Dongwu is very fertile, and the fish and rice are inseparable from the whole year. The climate is also very good all year round. In fact, the emperor's brother had a request and asked the emperor's brother to agree."
