People from aristocratic families are all smart people. If there is an elite saying in this era, then more than half of the elites from aristocratic families account for.

Elites have received a good education and judging the situation is a basic course. They have chips in their hands. After judging the world's general trend, they know which side to bet the chips will have a higher winning rate.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan raised an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty in Jinyang. At that time, heroes emerged and the world was in chaos. Guanlong and Shandong families saw Li Yuan very accurately through layers of fog, and then decisively bet on Li Yuan.

As it turns out, the family won the bet.

Li Yuan established his country, whose country was named "Tang". He got the largest and sweetest piece of cake, and the aristocratic family also gained a hundred times higher profit than chips. They were also lucky enough to share the cake Li Yuan ate.

After more than a hundred years, the world was once again in chaos, and the court and the monarch and ministers were fighting each other. For the aristocratic families, they faced another big bet, betting on Li Heng or Gu Qing. Betting was very important because the chips in their hands were too precious, and that was the lives of the whole clan's elders and young people.

"Are the Anxi Army really invincible in the world?" asked the son of the Wang family in Taiyuan hesitantly.

Xie Chuanjing smiled and said, "The Xie family in Chen County has also taken the lives of the whole clan's elders and young people. Do you think I can talk nonsense?"

With a correct expression, Xie Chuanjing said softly: "In the 12th year of Tianbao, Gu Qing was ordered to be the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu. After taking office, he immediately emptied Gao Xianzhi, and then vigorously rectified the military preparations. He promoted merchants in Kucha City to make profits from merchants and support the soldiers of Anxi Army. The soldiers were rewarded with great rewards and would fight for every battle. The morale and killing of an army were smashed out by Prince Gu with money."

"Later, Gu Qing appointed Li Siye, the envoy of Shule Town, and formed the Modao Camp. He also created a new weapon called the 'Firlock Spear', and formed the sharpshooting camp. He used it with the prime minister Yang Guozhong at that time. The court distributed endless war horses, weapons and food. An army was morale and killer, with new invincible weapons, and a continuous supply of logistics and food. This was the basis for their invincibility in the world..."

"An Lushan raised an army in Fanyang to plan a rebellion. Gu Qing was ordered to lead the Anxi army into Yumen Pass to quell the rebellion. In the first battle, he set up an ambush in Qingzhou, annihilated 20,000 rebels, and became famous all over the world. Later, he guarded Hangu Pass, seized Luoyang, settled Tongguan, and returned to Chang'an, and fought thousands of miles north and south. The Anxi army came out of blood and fire, walked into Chang'an City, and held the power of the Tang Dynasty and the monarch and ministers in his hands..."

Xie Chuanjing smiled and said, "The Xie family in Chen County has never done any adventures. This time, Su Lao, the clan, was able to bet heavily on the Anxi Army. To be precise, we are not betting on the Anxi Army, but Gu Qing."

The children of the aristocratic families who surrounded Xie Chuanjing were stunned.

Gu Qing's name is naturally well-known, and I have heard of some of my past experiences, but the Xie family obviously did their homework and told Gu Qing's past stories one by one, and the children of the aristocratic families gradually changed.

They did not expect that Gu Qing's experience was so legendary. After Xie Chuanjing told me, a character who was originally ethereal and vague, gradually became flesh and blood, and extraordinary.

The children of the aristocratic families fell silent. The moonlight outside the palace was a little cold. The sound of the beating of the people came from afar. It was already the second time.

After a long time, a family member sighed, "Prince Gu is so omnipotent. He knows how to promote business, how to govern the military and city, how to practice military and military techniques, and how to innovate weapons...tsk!"

Xie Chuanjing smiled and said, "Not only that, he is also quite famous for his poetry. When he was a poor boy in the mountain village of Shuzhou, he wrote a poem for Yang Guifei, 'I wish to be a bird in the sky and a branch on the ground'. Later, he served as a military officer in Zuowei, and wrote a poem for Li Shierniang, the disciple of Gongsun, 'There was a beautiful man named Gongsun, who danced a sword and moved all directions'. Each poem is a classic passed down from generation to generation, and the talented men in the world are still praised."

His expression gradually became serious, and Xie Chuanjing said seriously: "A person like Prince Gu has the ambition to sway the world and the ability to govern the world and the people. He is cold-blooded on the battlefield, respects the common people, and has the legacy of Emperor Taizong. If he gains the country, it is a good thing for the people in the world. He allows the people to live a peaceful life. For our aristocratic family, the world will be prosperous. In any aspect, there is no reason why my Chen County Xie family does not bet heavily on Prince Gu."

After Xie Chuanjing said that everyone still had a solemn and deep thoughtful look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the words of my family, and it doesn't matter if you don't agree with it. Gentlemen are harmonious but different. Each family has an angle to measure the pros and cons of each family. The pros and cons of my family, I, Xie, are here. You can follow it or recite it by yourself."

After saying that, Xie Chuanjing bowed to everyone, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and walked forward.

Behind him were many families who were pondering and hesitating. Behind them was the undulating Xingqing Palace, where an old emperor who had just made a great wish to them lived.

Between Li Longji and Gu Qing, Xie Chuanjing's representative Xie has made a choice.

After hesitating for a long time, the remaining children of the aristocratic families finally gritted their teeth and said goodbye to their private residences.

Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, countless fast horses rushed out of the city and rushed towards the locations of the various aristocratic families.

…………

The troops of the Anxi Army outside the city were suddenly mobilized.

Under the leadership of the generals, a group of soldiers went out of the camp and rushed to different directions. Behind each army was a large chariot of food and supplies that were invisible to the front and tail. Following the army secretary and clerk sat on the grain bags of the baggage truck, enduring the bumps of the carriage and horses, but with a serious expression, he recorded the income and expenditure accounts of the food and supplies weapons with a pen.

One group of scouts was released in advance. Every two hours, scouts returned to the forward to report the road conditions and enemy situations ahead.

In Chang'an City, tens of thousands of Anxi soldiers stayed behind were waiting for the battle. The frequency and intensity of patrolling the city suddenly increased a lot, and their control over Chang'an City was more severe than before.

The official yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture and the prefect Song Gensheng have been issuing government orders in the past two days, issuing officials from all the fangfangs in Chang'an City, Wuhou, and the servants of the official yamen, strictly ordering the officers of Wuhou under their jurisdiction to search for suspicious people in the city, increase the number of street patrols at night, etc.

The air in the city suddenly became tense, and the people and merchants were confused and were surprised. However, the court officials living in Chang'an City seemed to understand something. The court officials who were unwilling to rush to stand were all calm and obeyed themselves. Except for the court meeting and the office worker, the rest of the time was closed to thank the guests, and they did not go privately with their colleagues, for fear of violating the suspicion of the above people.

All the court officials who had seen the situation clearly quietly submitted famous posts to Gu Qing's palace, prepared generous gifts and quietly came to the door to meet to express their intention of standing in the queue.

Some court officials also went to the palace to meet the emperor after night and patted their chests in front of the emperor to show their loyalty.

The atmosphere in the city was tense and weird, and an undercurrent flowed quietly with an unstoppable momentum, brewing storm waves in the treacherous silence.

The storm is coming, and dark clouds are lying on the city.

Those who don’t know are meaningless. Those who know understand understand that there is no day or day, and there is no two masters in the morning. The day of the decisive battle is approaching.

The abnormal mobilization of the Anxi Army sounded the horn for this great change.

…………

In the Prince's Mansion.

Gu Qing half-closed his eyes and lay on Zhang Huaiyu's slender and elastic thighs, while Zhang Huaiyu was using a delicate silver spoon to clean his ears.

His ears were itchy and crispy, and Gu Qing squinted his eyes comfortably, his expression as comfortable as a cat basking in the sun.

"The Anxi Army was divided into three groups and drove out of the city. Are you sure of the decisive battle?" Zhang Huaiyu's hand was very stable, making Gu Qing so comfortable that he didn't want to speak at all.

After not waiting for an answer for a long time, Zhang Huaiyu pushed him and said angrily: "Why are you asking me about it? The majestic commander of the first army, the soldiers have set out on the battle, but you are comfortable and only care about enjoyment."

Gu Qing opened his eyes and sighed, "I just took my ears, why did I enjoy myself? Look at the powerful people in the city, which one is as frugal as me?"

Zhang Huaiyu spat and said, "Of course, it is also enjoyment when you clean your ears. The silver spoon goes in and out of your ears, making you so comfortable. Isn't it called enjoyment?"

Gu Qing was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I suspect you are driving, but there is no evidence..."

Zhang Huaiyu opened her eyes wide in a daze.

Gu Qing sighed. Zhang Huaiyu is good at everything, but she lacks mood. She often performs the etiquette of husband and wife, but she is still as simple as a child in matters between men and women, but Gu Qing wants to make her a child...

If Huangfu Sisi was replaced, she would be able to catch every dirty word Gu Qing steadily, and the younger generation was beyond the blue. The two of them had been talking dirty jokes several times. As they were talking, Huangfu Sisi actually made Gu Qing blush. This woman could be said to be unbeaten in the bridal chamber, whether in actual combat or in pleasure, her strength could be claimed to be unbeaten in the bridal chamber.

No wonder some people always say that "a wife is worse than a concubine"...

"This battle is very important. Husband, you must be energetic and don't be careless about underestimating the enemy. Even if I am strong and weak, I should try my best to fight against the rabbit." Zhang Huaiyu said seriously.

Gu Qing sighed: "I have never looked down on any enemy. Even the rogue gangster I wanted to kill the neighboring village back then, I made sufficient preparations in advance and set up an ambush. Now I have an elite tiger and wolf man in my hand and I have 100,000 lives. It is even more impossible for me to be careless about underestimating the enemy. Madam is overly worried."

Zhang Huaiyu snorted and said, "It's obvious that he looks like he is extravagant and enjoyable, but I can't see how serious you are."

"Can't you say something nicer? For example, 'If you have thunder in your chest and look like a flat lake, you can be called a general'. If you look at my appearance carefully, isn't this sentence more suitable for me?"

Zhang Huaiyu smiled and said, "No matter how you look, you look unhappy. Before the soldiers fought, you look like you have already lost the battle... Fortunately, you didn't go to the battle with the army in person, otherwise the soldiers would be depressed when they see you."

Gu Qing sighed and murmured, "This mouth is like swallowing arsenic... I really want to kill a princess to sacrifice to heaven. All the soldiers in the army are lucky and eat chicken tonight."

Before Zhang Huaiyu could even make a palm technique that fell from the sky fell on Gu Qing's head, Han Jie hurried over from outside the courtyard and reported, "Prince, there is a distinguished guest coming."

Gu Qing said dissatisfiedly: "What a expensive customer? It's not expensive if you have a usual amount of money per pound."

Han Jie said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, you are indeed a distinguished guest. His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has arrived."

Gu Qing was stunned and quickly looked at Zhang Huaiyu, who also looked solemn.

Without rushing to go out to welcome the host, Gu Qing still asked: "How many imperial guards have the Supreme Emperor brought? Are the emperor's ceremonies intact?"

"The Supreme Emperor brought only more than a hundred imperial guards and came in an ordinary carriage, except that."

Zhang Huaiyu pulled his arm and said, "Husband, go and welcome the car first, and be careful."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "I ordered the mansion to open the central gate, and all the personal guards and subordinates lined up to welcome the troops."

After saying that, Gu Qing stood up, brushed his clothes casually, and then walked towards the door.

The gate of the royal mansion suddenly opened, and the guards and servants in the mansion lined up in the yard, lowering their heads and daring to look directly at Tianyan.

Li Longji came very suddenly today, especially when he came to the door at the critical moment when the two sides were about to fight each other, which seemed even more difficult to come.

Gu Qing walked out the door and saw the imperial guards scattered around Li Longji. Gao Lishi stood respectfully behind Li Longji with a whisk in his hand. Li Longji stared at Gu Qing standing in the middle gate with complicated eyes, with a little desolation in his calm expression.

Seeing Li Longji from afar, Gu Qing was also quite moved.

A generation of emperors with mixed reputations can never stand the washing of time. Li Longji is now old and no longer different from the ordinary old man on the street. His back is no longer upright, and his face has lost the spirit of the past. His temples are frosty and his face is like orange peels. He is like a stray old dog abandoned by a wealthy family. He works proudly but has to bow his head to find food to survive.

Gu Qing walked forward a few quick steps, then bowed and said, "I Gu Qing, welcome Your Majesty, I am late for you to welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am sorry for your crime."

Li Longji's complicated gaze has not changed. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Don't take vain politeness. In your eyes, I'm afraid I and Heng'er will not be emperor for a few days, right? Should I salute you in the future?"

Gu Qing said calmly: "Your Majesty is serious, but the trapped ministers are extremely frightened by their disloyalty and unrighteousness."

Li Longji pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "You are the master, I am a guest, don't you invite me in and sit down?"

Gu Qing hurriedly turned sideways and asked Li Longji to enter the mansion.

When he walked into the yard, Li Longji narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "I am not unfamiliar with this house. It was originally Li Linfu's house. I have been here many times back then. Unfortunately, things have changed. There are too many people in the world who seem to be loyal and treacherous. I am obsessed with hearing and misread many people."

Gu Qing smiled. He heard what Li Longji said, but... the situation is just like this, and the dispute between words is meaningless.

When Li Longji was invited into the front hall, Li Longji sat in the main seat without hesitation. Gu Qing stood in front of him, busy instructing the servants to hold a banquet.

Li Longji stroked his beard and laughed: "I came to the door today, but I only brought more than a hundred imperial guards. Prince Gu ambushed the swordsman under the corridor?"

Gu Qing frowned. The older a person is, the worse it is, and the more he says, the more he goes, the more he says.

This time Gu Qing did not hesitate anymore and said, "I have no intention, but if Your Majesty has such a good mood, I can try to order the sword and axe driver to ambush."

Li Longji's smile suddenly solidified.
