Li Longji was surprised by Gu Qing's answer.

It would be normal for Li Linfu, the old fox, to say these words. Only those who have experienced decades of storms in the court can speak so steadily without leaving any handle.

But Gu Qing was just a boy under the age of twenty, and it was unusual to say this from his mouth.

Li Longji narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him seriously.

What is the truth of the matter? In fact, Li Longji and Gu Qing know it in their hearts, but this is the case in the court. Everyone knows everything, but they have to pretend to be confused. At this time, the art of speaking is very important.

"Do you think the thieves who assassinated Qingcheng Order are just a group of sluts?" Li Longji showed an unpredictable smile.

Gu Qing said seriously: "Yes, I think it should be the magistrate of Qingcheng County who offended the local gentry. The gentry was resentful, so I hired gangsters and others to assassinate the magistrate. The matter is actually very simple, and the gentry has been beheaded by the magistrate of Qingcheng County. The case should be settled."

Li Longji said slowly: "But why did I hear that King Ji is also involved?"

Gu Qing hurriedly said, "His Highness King Ji is the prince. He has been in Chang'an and has never left. Qingcheng County is thousands of miles apart. How could this case involve His Highness King Ji? How unjust is His Highness King Ji? It must be that there are evil people in the court and the country deliberately spread rumors and alienate the relationship between father and son of the Tian family. I ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the spreaders and correct the subjects to the audio-visuals and return the innocent King Ji."

Li Longji was silent for a while and suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay!"

After talking about three good words in a row, Li Longji returned to his cheerful and open-minded monarch and said with a smile: "It's really a fearful young man, Gu Qing, you can bear the great responsibility."

Gu Qing bowed and said, "I report to the truth and dare not deceive the emperor."

Li Longji pulled the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Gu Qing, how do you think I should deal with this case?"

Gu Qing hurriedly said, "The holy heart has its own judgment, and I dare not speak nonsense."

Li Longji said leisurely: "If it was really just a gentry employed a slut, it would be simple."

Gu Qing lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Longji's expression was unpredictable, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he waved his hand in vain and said, "Forget it, you go back."

Gu Qing respectfully gave up.

Not far from the hall gate, I met an acquaintance, who was the old eunuch Gao Lishi next to Li Longji.

Gao Lishi stood by the corridor column outside the hall with a smile, holding a whisk in his hand, smiling kindly and kindly, and even smiling in his eyes, and was born with a trustworthy look.

Gu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Gu Qing greets General Gao."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Gu Changshi Moduoli. The old slave is here to wait for Gu Changshi here by the order of Concubine Taizhen. The empress has given instructions. After Gu Changshi meets the saint, he can go to the agarwood pavilion beside the dragon pond and the empress is waiting for you."

Gu Qing blinked and smiled, "Please lead the way, thank you."

I wanted to take a piece of silver cake and get close to Gao Lishi's condom. However, I vaguely remember that in the history books of my previous life, Gao Lishi was a man who was not short of money. It is said that he had a wealthy family background and had bought a lot of property in Chang'an. He was quite chivalrous and didn't care much about silver and money.

So Gu Qing gave up the idea. Giving money may not be thanked, and sometimes it may be a good idea to offend people.

In the agarwood pavilion, Gu Qing met Yang Guifei again.

There was an old acquaintance sitting next to Yang Guifei, Princess Wanchun.

It seems that these two are really hard-core best friends. The relationship is as good as a sweet oil. It is rare to have a chicken in life. The relationship between them can definitely take a green tea photo together, and give each other a thumbs up at the camera and say Lao Tie 666.

Gu Qing went forward to salute honestly. Concubine Yang's expression was a little serious at the moment, but Princess Wanchun looked him up and down curiously, as if she didn't recognize him, with a little inquiry in her eyes.

Gu Qing was stared at by a woman like this, and then he was not willing to be outdone, and he stared at Princess Wanchun in a hot mood.

The two of them met, one was curious and the other was hot. After a moment, Princess Wanchun seemed to remember something, and suddenly became furious and slapped the table: "Thief, you, what are you looking at? What are you thinking about?"

Gu Qing sighed inwardly, I am afraid that this joke will never be able to pass this life...

Gu Qing bowed his eyelids and said respectfully: "I look up at His Royal Highness's demeanor."

Princess Wanchun said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! Do you think I will believe it? You are not allowed to think about it! Did you hear it?"

"Yes, I won't think about it."

Concubine Yang looked at the two of them in confusion and said, "What the hell are you talking about? Has something happened?"

Wan Chun was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, how could I have happened to this evil thief."

Concubine Yang seemed to have something to say, but she didn't care about the little details in front of her.

Looking at Gu Qing's calm face, Yang Guifei said, "Gu Qing, I asked you to come here because I think you are my brother. I will say something regardless of whether you are a taboo or not."

"I listen carefully."

Yang Guifei said slowly: "The Qingcheng County case was known ten days ago. His Majesty was very angry at that time. Later, I persuaded him to stop him. I heard that you rushed back to Qingcheng County from Chang'an to protect your friend who was the county magistrate?"

"Yes. Song Gensheng is my playmate since he was a child, and he is no different from his brothers. If something happened to him, I must protect him."

Yang Guifei nodded and praised, "I am a kind person, I have read you wrong."

After a change of conversation, Yang Guifei said again: "But you and the county magistrate did something wrong. Do you know where the mistake is?"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "Land?"

Concubine Yang praised again: "I'm very smart, I can understand it at a glance."

Then Yang Guifei said again: "Gu Qing, the land is not something that can be encountered. It is common for the powerful to enclose land. Most of the fertile land in the world are occupied by the powerful and gentry. It is said that my Yang family has also occupied a lot. I know that you have paid a considerable price to protect your friends in Qingcheng County, and I also know that the source of this case was the land occupied by King Ji. But I still want to advise you to never mention the land occupied by the powerful and the powerful in front of His Majesty, otherwise you will be enemies of the Dukes and Marquis of the Court, and you will be unable to move forward at that time."

Gu Qing whispered: "I remember, please don't worry, I will not say anything randomly. It's not that I dare not say it, but that I know very well that even if I say it, it will be useless. There will be no change in anything I say it. I will not be stupid like a naughty green and do something like a tragic scene of "I will go even if I have thousands of people."

Yang Guifei nodded and said, "Yes, you can't change the status quo with your own strength, so learn to accept it. People should be more tactful in the officialdom."

Gu Qing smiled bitterly, that's right.

Princess Wanchun was looking at Gu Qing curiously and suddenly asked: "Will you hurry back to Shuzhou to help him if something happened to your friend?"

Gu Qing didn't want to pay attention to her, but the princess's fist was relatively large after all, so she had to deal with it and said, "Yes."

Princess Wanchun asked again: "Did you still fight with someone?"

"The thief assassinated my friend, and the purpose of my rush back is to fight with people."

"Is anyone dead?"

Gu Qing quickly glanced at Yang Guifei, feeling that Li Longji and Yang Guifei knew this matter well. They must have known the details of the matter, so they stopped covering it and said happily: "A person is indeed dead."

"Have many people died?" Princess Wanchun showed a look of surprise.

"More than 200 people died, and all the living were injured."

"Have your friend...she saved his life?"

Gu Qing smiled faintly: "Not hurt at all."

Wan Chun then said, "Are you injured too?"

"Yes, I'm injured."

"Show me your wound..."

Gu Qing was stunned. Concubine Yang hurriedly stopped her and said angrily: "It's not true! You are not married yet, so how can you look at the man's body? There are many words in the palace. If it is reported, do you still want to get married in the future?"

Princess Wanchun laughed and stopped talking.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Gu Qing stood up and said goodbye.

Gu Qing walked away for a long time, but Princess Wanchun was still sitting in the pavilion blankly, her expression changing, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Seeing that she had not spoken for a long time, Yang Guifei couldn't help but push her gently and said, "Are you stupid?"

Princess Wanchun smiled, looked at the direction Gu Qing left, and said softly: "Empress, there is really a person with righteousness in the world. He traveled thousands of miles to protect his friends and fought with his life. Although this Gu Qing is hateful, lustful and annoying, it is undeniable that he... is indeed a kind and righteous person. What a pity, it would be great if he didn't have so many bad habits..."

Thinking of the ulterior motives that happened to Gu Qing and her, Wan Chun couldn't help but dye her cheeks and her hands and feet trembled slightly.

Yang Guifei heard the unusual smell, leaned closer and stared at her inquiry, and finally said affirmatively: "You and Gu Qing must have something to do!"

"No, no! Don't talk nonsense!"

…………

Gu Qing left the palace and breathed a long sigh.

Li Longji's intention to summon him today was a bit vague, and Gu Qing didn't understand it very well. With Li Longji's cunning, of course, he would not dig out his heart to Gu Qing.

Li Longji, the case in Qingcheng County, has not been determined yet, but Gu Qing is sure that this matter is not over.

However, Li Longji's silent attitude made Gu Qing a little worried. He was worried that Li Longji would take it seriously and worried that it would be left alone.

Standing next to the official office of Zhuque Street, Gu Qing found a stone staircase that he liked, and sat down, concentrating on his mind and thinking alone for a long time.

After a while, Gu Qing suddenly stood up and went directly to Zuowei's palace.

After entering the left guard, Gu Qing paid a visit to General Guo Ziyi and dismissed Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi was very kind to Gu Qing and forced him to sit down and chat for a while before letting him go.

Then Gu Qing went to the backyard to find Li Guangbi, and broke in without knocking on the door.

Li Guangbi looked at him and smiled: "Your Majesty scolds you?"

"No, Your Majesty said he likes me more and more. He plans to be promoted to me, but I refuse, and told Your Majesty that I want to be promoted by my own efforts."

Li Guangbi was stunned for a long time. Seeing Gu Qing's serious look, he didn't look like he was lying, but the content of his words was too harsh. After a while, Li Guangbi suddenly picked up a brush at the table and threw it hard on Gu Qing, lowering his voice and angrily: "Don't you want to live anymore! Don't bring your Majesty in for a joke, it will cause trouble!"

Gu Qing sighed: "Your Majesty really said that you want to be promoted to my official position, this sentence is true."

Li Guangbi hummed and said, "Your Majesty said he didn't say what to do with King Ji?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "I didn't say it."

Li Guangbi sneered: "The matter is not over. The more I don't say it, the more unlucky King Ji will be."

Gu Qing was silent for a while and said softly: "Uncle Li, do you think... is it possible for Your Majesty to spare King Ji? In the eyes of His Majesty, such a thing as a powerful person, may not be a big deal. The main thing about King Ji's taboo is to raise dead soldiers, and he also sent them to do shameful things. Strictly speaking, this matter can be big or small. There are probably many dead soldiers in the prince's palace. To put it bluntly, it is not a big taboo..."

Li Guangbi was stunned for a moment and sighed helplessly: "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the holy heart cannot be guessed. If your Majesty thinks and thinks, your Majesty will lose his majesty. You said that you should spare King Ji. If you think about it carefully, it may be impossible. After all, Your Majesty's methods of acting over the years..."

Shaking his head, Li Guangbi did not continue to say anything, but Gu Qing understood the unfinished words.

Gu Qing whispered: "Uncle Li, King Ji must be punished."

“Why?”

Gu Qing suddenly smiled, his smile full of coldness, but his eyes showed a sense of firmness that was never compromised: "For those who died, including you and the Zhang family's personal guards, and so many heroes who sacrificed their lives for justice, they cannot die in vain! If Your Majesty spared King Ji easily, they would not be able to rest in peace under the scent of the sky, and I, Gu Qing, also ashamed of their spirit in heaven."

Li Guangbi was silent for a while and said, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Qing whispered: "I want to add another fire to this matter!"

…………

In the afternoon, Gu Qing came out of the left guard and came straight to the gate of Prince Ji's mansion.

There was a warrior on duty in front of the door, the gate of the royal palace was closed, and the door was deserted. After several censors submitted memorials to impeach, Chang'an City almost knew about what happened. King Ji closed his door and thanked the guests in panic, waiting for Li Longji's handling. Recently, the committee has become much more low-key.

Gu Qing stood outside the door of the palace, staring at the lintel above the palace, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Back from Qingcheng County to Chang'an, Gu Qing was always angry, but everyone around him told him that this matter should not be involved and that this matter should not be mentioned. If you want to save your life, you must be honest and stupid.

It seems... no one mentioned that dozens of personal guards and heroes who died in battle to protect Song Gensheng that night, and dozens of live lives were forgotten after just a few days. Is the wild man in the world really life like a mustard of grass? Is their death worth it?

He dared not challenge the imperial power, dared not reveal his ugliness, and even his emotions of joy and anger were not revealed in front of others.

Gu Qing felt that he was living more and more cowardly. A real man did not seek to dominate the world, but he could not live a life of frustration. Even the wild people in the world knew how to avenge his grudges, but he was like a dog with his tail in this Chang'an City.

If life is not transparent, it is nothing different from death.

Today, I will do what a man should do and give an explanation to the dead righteous men!

After sorting out his expression, Gu Qing walked forward and smiled at a bushi on duty in front of the palace gate: "Please report to His Highness King Ji, Gu Qing, the chief of the Left Guard, to see him."

The warrior glanced at him and said coldly: "Your Highness has an order, but you will not see any foreign guests."

Gu Qing was not discouraged and smiled and said, "Your Highness can ignore others, but you will definitely meet me. Do you know why?"

The warrior looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Because the initiator who caused His Highness Ji to leave the door to thank the guests is me, Gu Qing. Even if you report it to me, Your Highness will meet me. If he knows that you will turn me out, Your Highness will punish you."

The samurai hesitated and looked at each other with the samurai beside him, and finally decided to go in and report.

As soon as the warrior took a few steps, Gu Qing suddenly shouted behind him: "Please tell His Highness King Ji, my minister Gu Qing came to take the blame to His Highness and ask His Highness to take a look."

The warrior came out shortly after entering the mansion and asked Gu Qing to come in with a cold face.

In the front hall of the royal palace, Gu Qing met King Ji Li Huan again.

King Ji was wearing casual clothes, sitting upright in the hall with a cold expression, staring at Gu Qing with a vicious look.

Gu Qing didn't care. After paying homage to Queen Ji, he saw that King Ji had no intention of giving him a seat to entertain guests. Gu Qing simply found a place that pleased him and sat down, and smiled at King Ji Zhanyan: "I have been violating for many days. Are you fine?"

King Ji said coldly: "I am so lucky to you. You should know whether I am safe."

Gu Qing did not exchange greetings and bowed to King Ji straight to the point: "The emperor knows very much that he offended His Highness. Today I come to apologize to His Highness. I hope your highness will be ignorant. Don't worry about it."

King Ji sneered: "Do you think I will forgive you?"

Gu Qing blinked, looking innocent and innocent: "Your Highness sent more than 200 dead soldiers out of Chang'an with a disagreement, and the officials almost died at the hands of those dead soldiers. It's really a life-and-death life. You and I won't know each other until we fight. Since we have already fought, why can't we forgive me?"

When talking about more than 200 dead soldiers, King Ji became more and more angry. How many dead soldiers can a royal palace raise without attracting attention? More than 200 dead soldiers are almost the entire palace. As a result, the entire army was wiped out after the battle and was exposed. The matter was even exposed. The censors participated in his life and died these days, and all this was thanks to Gu Qing.

King Ji sneered: "It turns out that a hero is a young man. I really underestimated you. If I had known that you were such a character, I would not have let you go when you were in Chang'an."

Gu Qing waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Your Highness has praised you, Your Highness has done nothing, but at best it only played a small role. To be honest, Your Highness wants to take my friend's life, we can't just kill you, right? In the end, you still have to resist."

King Ji was furious: "Are you here to show off your victory to me today? What a brave man!"

Gu Qing was still calm and calm and said: "The emperor is here to apologize to Your Highness, I have already said it."

King Ji pointed at him in anger and said, "Is this look like you apologizing?"

Gu Qing looked at himself with his head down, spread his hands and said innocently: "Isn't it sincere enough?"

"Come, drive this evil man out!" King Ji shouted angrily.

"Slowly, your highness, the emperor is here to apologize for one thing today, and there is another matter to discuss with you." Gu Qing said decisively.

"Get out! I don't want to listen!"

"Your Highness, the lower magistrate has just come out of Xingqing Palace. Today, Your Majesty summoned me and asked about Qingcheng County..."

King Ji was shocked, his expression calmed down, hesitated for a moment, and said gloomyly: "What did the Father say?"
