A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

The movement in Pushan Village naturally disturbed Chang'an, and the people in Chang'an talked about it. It turned out that the will-o'-the-wisp came out of urine.

Early that morning, when the court meeting ended, the head of the Lu family was escorted to the guillotine.

"Is there anything you want to say before you die." Di Renjie looked at him.

"If you lose, you lose. The biggest mistake I made in this life was to underestimate Gu Qing's ruthlessness." The head of the Lu family whispered, "Boy, remember! Gu Qing will not end well either. Yes, Li Shimin is not a good person! After he uses Gu Qing, it will be Gu Qing's end!"

Only Di Renjie's sneer responded to the Patriarch of the Lu family, and he said loudly: "The Lu family is plotting rebellion, the evidence of the crime is convincing, the time has come, behead!"

The executioner's sword fell, along with the head of the head of the Lu family, and the Lu family fell!

Li Er stepped down and listened to Wang Qin's report, "Gu Qing used human urine to make a will-o'-the-wisp?"

"That's true." Wang Qin said, "And the rumors in Chang'an have gone down a lot. I know that's how the will-o'-the-wisps came about."

"This Gu Qing shared my worries." Li Er said, "I also want to go to the academy."

In the academy, the sound of reading is loud, Gu Qing, Li Tai, and Fang Yizhi are playing cards.

"What is Chu Mo doing recently?" Gu Qing played a one-on-five.

Li Tai played a pair of sevens, "I went to the restaurant yesterday, this kid is now thinking about how to marry that tough woman into the house."

"But his elm bump can't think of any tricks." Fang Yi said bluntly, "I guess he will come to you again."

"What does it have to do with me?" Gu Qing sorted out the cards in his hand.

"Because you have the most evil ideas." Fang Yi went straight to play one against ten.

"Brother Huang, Gu Qing, Brother Fang, Father is here!" Li Zhi ran over in a panic.

Li Er had already walked to the door, walked all the way in, looked at a table of cards, and then at the three young men, "You all go out, I have something to say to Gu Qing."

After everyone left, Li Er looked at Gu Qing, "You helped Di Renjie solve the ghost fire case, right?"

Gu Qing nodded.

"What do you think about this matter?" Li Er sat down and looked at a table of cards with irritated eyes.

"The other party is inciting people's hearts, but they actually want to protect the head of the Lu family." Gu Qing said while cleaning up the cards on the table. Things have passed smoothly, and now we need strong medicine to completely attract the attention of the people."

"What kind of medicine are you talking about?" Li Er stared at Gu Qing.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination can be held." Gu Qing whispered, "Now is the best time to hold the imperial examination. As long as the imperial examination can shake all the people in the Tang Dynasty, the matter of the Lu family can be easily covered. For a few months or even a few years, the affairs of the Lu family are just a mottled part of the years, the memory of the common people, the aristocratic family is down, the imperial examination is open, and the poor students should stand up."

Chapter 269

Li Er thought about the powerful relationship among them. Now holding the imperial examination can not only soothe the hearts of the people, but also suppress the aristocratic family. Looking at Gu Qing, he looked at Gu Qing and said, "Did you arrange it long ago?"

"I just think that the family is not that important to Datang." Gu Qing said.

"I really hate to kill you." Li Er looked at Gu Qing.

"Your Majesty, is what I said wrong?" Gu Qing said, "All along, the aristocratic families have taken over the students from all over the world, and the gentry have even stepped into the court. If they don't suppress the aristocratic families, the Tang Dynasty is holding back everywhere."

"Then you admit it?" Li Er nodded and said, "Fan Yang's chaos is related to you?"

"It has nothing to do with the minister." Gu Qing immediately denied it.

Observing Gu Qing's expression, Li Er stood up, "Gu Qing, I still say that as long as you are still in Datang, you work for Datang, as long as you don't judge Datang, I will not kill you, and I will let you enjoy All the splendor and wealth."

"I remember." Gu Qing replied.

Li Er said again, "Gu Qing, you donate potatoes, make firearms, and make new paper. You have done a lot for Datang time and time again. I have seen it in my eyes and kept it in my heart. There are some things that we monarchs and ministers don't need to cover up like this. Hey, if you want to live your happy life, I will not force you to become an official again, but I hope you can have a heart-to-heart relationship with me."

"I understand." Gu Qing also said, "Your Majesty, I just want to live a simple life. There are some things that I have to do for the sake of the people around me. If it were Your Majesty, Your Majesty would also do it."

Li Er nodded, "Gu Qing, your academy can come up with a question for this imperial examination, and your academy students can also participate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Qing bowed and saluted.

"I'm leaving." Li Er walked out of the academy with a flat face, listening to the sound of Lang Lang reading from the academy, and sitting in the carriage to Chang'an, he said to himself: "Gu Qing, you still guard against me."

Li Tai and Fang Yizhi both left, Gu Qing walked around the academy and then came back home, there were carts and carts of money being transported in front of the house.

"Husband, the soap is selling very well this time." Wu Mei said, "In just half a month, we have earned [-] guan. This is calculated by my concubine, and this is all we can get."

"Three thousand sticks." Gu Qing also thought in his heart, the soap has been on for so many days and it is not bad.

Zhang Jie came with a few blacksmiths and a lot of parts, "Boss Gu, there are some things these blacksmiths still can't understand."

"Is there anything I don't understand." Gu Qing stepped forward and looked at some parts that had been made.

Several blacksmiths said, "Master Hou, we really can't make your big pipe. The hollow pipe can't be so smooth. I wonder if it should be replaced with a square shape? Or thinner."

The forging technology of the Tang Dynasty was not so good, and the level of forging was average. The wall of the gun barrel must be thick, otherwise the chamber would explode. took a dynamite.

"Everything you do has to be overthrown and redone." Gu Qing looked at the parts one after another, and polished them with pig iron instead of casting.

"Master Hou, but this is a waste of time." The blacksmiths were in a dilemma.

"Don't be afraid of wasting time, let Zhang Jie send more people to you." Gu Qing said to them, "I'll figure out how to do it myself, and you guys do other things first."

"All right." Several blacksmiths nodded.

The boundary of Boling, here is the territory of the Cui family clan, in the ancestral temple; Li Yifu finally met the head of the Cui family, "I met the head of the Cui family in the lower Li Yifu."

"Li Yifu?" The head of the Cui family looked at him, "What do you mean by coming to see the old man?"

"Patriarch, in fact, it is Gu Qing, who was sent by Gu County Marquis." Li Yifu opened his mouth and took out soap, "This thing is called soap, and it is a new business that our Lord Marquis is about to start. We Gu County Marquis are willing to do it with the Cui family Good business."

"Gu Qing wants to make good friends with our Cui family?" The head of the Cui family sneered, "Our Cui family can't compete with Gu Hou Ye, and the Lu family has collapsed. It seems that our Cui family will be next."

"The head of the family is too worried." Li Yifu said with a smile again, "Master Hou has no ill intentions towards the Cui family, it's just that it's so easy to make friends with the Cui family, Master Hou is very sincere."

"Since you are Gu Qing's lobbyist, and you want to make friends with you, your sincerity is nothing but empty words and white teeth are all your mouth." The head of the Cui family said, "If you really want to make friends, let Gu Qing come to my Cui family. Marriage proposal, with marriage, our Cui family will be in the same boat as Master Gu!"

Li Yifu didn't expect that the Patriarch of the Cui family would propose a marriage proposal, so he said with a smile, "Of course it's possible, but this matter requires Master Hou to nod."

"Hahaha..." The Patriarch of the Cui family smiled, "You go back, if Gu Qing wants to make a marriage proposal, that's fine, if you don't want to make a good relationship, then don't come to propose marriage, and don't send any more visitors, I don't like to see you stranger."

"What the Patriarch said is true." Li Yifu said again, "The Lu family has fallen, and half of Fanyang City has been slaughtered. What a pity..."

"What do you mean, you are threatening the old man?" The head of the Cui family said with anger, "The Lu family is stupid, the Cui family has always been clean."

"Yes, it's clean." Li Yifu said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if a person is not clean. No matter how clean you are, someone will find the flaws. Maybe a pot of dirty water will be dirty if it is not dirty. , Patriarch, are you right!?"

"Believe it or not, the old man prevented you from getting out of this Boling!"
