A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Is Li Jing here?" Li Er asked.

"It's here!" The porter replied with a bow, "it's inside."

Li Er walked into the study step by step and saw Li Jing, the great general of the first generation.

"The last general pays his respects to His Majesty." Li Jing hurriedly saluted.

"Get up quickly, I know your legs and feet are inconvenient." Li Er supported him and said, "Is your health better today?"

"It's much better." Li Jing said, "Gu Qing gave the general a way to recover from his illness. These days, the number of illnesses has decreased a lot, but this way can relieve a lot of pain in his legs."

"Gu Qing? It's Gu Qing again." Li Er smiled wryly and shook his head, "This Gu Qing has defeated the Turks at Yanmen Pass, and now everyone knows that he blocked nearly 20 Turkic troops with a few tens of thousands of people. I don't know how to bestow this feat he."

Yanmen Gate was guarded, Li Jing hurriedly took out a map, "Your Majesty, now that Yanmen Gate is guarded, the Turks must be seriously injured, and Tuyuhun and Tubo in the Hexi Corridor have been eager to try."

"Yes." Li Er nodded, "A few days ago, the military newspaper said that although Tubo made some moves, they only sent troops to investigate the deployment of the army and did not make any other moves, but Songtsan Gampo's intentions are well known. .”

Li Jing nodded.

Li Er went on to say, "Tuyuhun is honest and dare not act rashly. What do you think we should do next?"

Chapter 141 Chang'an Response

Li Er and Li Jing were talking, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the scene when they were fighting the world together, deducing the changes in the battle situation with each other.

"I'm getting old." Li Er said: "At the beginning, I was fighting in the battlefield, but now I'm full of fat, and I feel tired even after running a few steps."

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and the Tang Dynasty is really flourishing, and the Zhenguan dynasty is approaching." Li Jing said.

"Hehehehe..." Li Er said with a smile, "It's not like you. You didn't say such things with your rigid face back then, but now you are much more open-minded."

Li Jing also said with a smile, "The end of these years has been recuperating. In these days, the end of the day will also understand that the heroes of the Tang Dynasty will catch up with each other, and the end of the day will not be able to stop their sharpness. It is time for young people to make a breakthrough. .”

"What about Su Dingfang?" Li Er asked.

Li Jing said with a smile, "This kid does things well, but leading soldiers is too rigid and needs training! Leading soldiers can't be more than tens of thousands."

"What about Gu Qing? What do you think?" Li Er asked again.

"Gu Qing..." Li Jing was thinking, "This kid doesn't know the art of war at all, but his new firearm makes the art of war we have been using all the time useless. This person is so cunning and changeable that it's hard to guess, and his ways are wild. But Su Dingfang and Su Dingfang can complement each other, and the two of them together can deal with a large army."

"I think so too." Li Er said.

The two decided on the actions to be taken in the frontier. Li Er got up and was about to leave and said to Li Jing, "You don't have to pay attention to the voice of the court. We have fought together for so many years and put down violence together."

"The last general is ashamed." Li Jing bowed and stood up.

"I'm gone, you should take a good rest and recuperate." Li Er said, "Go out more often, don't worry about gossip outside, I'm not confused, so you can relax."

"The last general will send you off to Your Majesty!" Li Jing said again.

The concierge of Li Jing's house was relieved to see the monarch and ministers laughing and talking like this. After Li Er left, he said to Li Jing, "General, let's go for a walk and see Chang'an now."

"I won't go out anymore, the house is fine." Li Jing shook his head and said.

The concierge looked disappointed again, and was about to close the door again, when Li Jing said again, "The door is left open, I, Li Jing, have nothing to shame!"

Hearing these words, the concierge finally felt a lot better. At least now Li Jing's mansion has opened the door, and it is no longer closed to see visitors.

The door of Li Jing's house is open?The news spread like wildfire in Chang'an, and the monarchs and ministers were relieved!

In the Literary Museum of Prince Wei's Mansion, Li Tai was excited when he received the news, "This king already knows that Gu Qing is capable! Hahahahaha!"

Fang Yizhi was also in the Literature Museum, "Gu Qing seems to be getting promoted again."

"Not necessarily!" Li Tai shook his head, "Do you know how many people Gu Qing killed this time?"

"How much?" Fang Yi was puzzled.

Li Tai was handed the letter to Fang Yizhi, "Gu Qing fought a battle, and a big fire burned to death more than [-] Turkic troops! The result of this battle was great, but it was also shocking, not even a single prisoner was left behind."

"This kid..." Fang Yi looked at the letter and felt worried.

"But don't worry!" Li Tai said, "Gu Qing won't have any serious problems. If he says that his merits and demerits are balanced, Father will not embarrass him. It's just that those officials and ministers in the court will inevitably criticize them. It's difficult to get promoted this time. But it won't be in danger, it just depends on how the father makes the final decision."

"I'm going home to see my old father." Fang Yizhi was worried.

Li Tai said to the servants beside him, "Send this news to Mrs. Gu's family in the Taoist temple."

"Yes!" The servant replied.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian also got the military report, the Yanmen Gate was guarded, and Gu Qing made another miracle!There is just one thing that he has always wanted to understand as a prince. Gu Qing's arms should be extremely sensitive to his father. As a prince, Li Tai has such close contacts with Gu Qing. His father did not suspect why he admired Li Tai more and more.

Could it be that Gu Qing didn't have such a taboo for his father?Or is the father trying to test Li Tai?If you have any taboos, you must have a good talk with Gu Qing, this Gu Qing and Li Tai walking so close is always a threat to him.

The letter arrived in Wu Mei's hands, and she felt relieved after reading the battle report. Gu Qing was fine and guarded the Yanmen Pass, and said to the maid beside her, "Go to Chang'an to buy more meat, and distribute it to the households in the village. Let’s say the county has won the battle.”

"Yes!" The maid answered softly.

"Master!" Di Renjie looked up while reading a book, "The monk said that there have been many people with five surnames and seven sects in Chang'an recently, and most of them have gone to approach the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Wei, but I don't know if they have noticed the bookstore."

"Five surnames and seven sects..." Wu Mei put down the letter in her hand, "The crown prince and the king of Wei will not get close to people with five surnames and seven sects. These people may want to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain. Your husband has won the battle now, holding sharp firearms, etc. People seem to be close to the prince, but they have been staring at the movement here."

"Master's mother is right." Di Renjie said, "The students think that people with five surnames and seven sects must understand that King Wei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ignore them. It's obviously wrong for them to touch their noses like this. I'm afraid they have ulterior motives. It's just that our bookstore is very famous now, and the students are a little worried."

Wu Mei looked at the colorful bird sitting on the window sill, "Tell my servants that from today on, the Gu family will not see any visitors! Until the husband comes back."

"Student understands!" Di Renjie nodded.

These days Wang Yuan has been living in Gu's house, and during pregnancy, she vomited and couldn't eat anything.

Wu Mei supported Wang Yuan and said, "I'll get you some plums."

Wang Yuan got better after eating the plums, "I don't know when Yang Sheng and the others will come back."

"Well, I don't know how long it will take to go." Wu Mei helped Wang Yuan sit down and said, "Our husband is at war, I want to guard this house, and you better guard your children. It might be a boy."

Wang Yuan touched her small swollen belly, "I don't know how to be a mother either. My mother died very early when I was young."

"It's not easy for you and Yang Sheng to be together." Wu Mei said, "What does it feel like to be a mother?"

"I can't say." Wang Yuan said, "This feeling is very strange."

Yanmenguan

Gu Qing yawned looking at the grassland scenery, Cheng Chumo did not know where he had caught hundreds of sheep, and the howling of exploding sheep could be heard from time to time in the minefield.

"Old Yang, do you want to eat roasted whole lamb?" Gu Qing said.
