My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An got off school at the Imperial College at noon. After getting on the carriage, he did not tell the driver where to go. Instead, he thought for a while in the carriage and said to the driver, "On the way back, let's stop by the snack shop."

"Yes, sir." The coachman started the carriage directly.

"Sir, are you going to buy some snacks to apologize to Sanniang?" Huaiqin had followed Chang An for more than ten years, and he quickly understood what the other party meant.

Chang An nodded and replied with a wry smile: "Those guys made me drink too much last night, and I said some nonsense when I came back, which made Gu Niang cry so hard that her eyes were swollen."

"I guess my father will go to Gu Niang to ask about my affairs this morning. She will definitely not want me to be misunderstood, and it will take a lot of effort to explain. So I plan to buy some snacks that she likes when I go back to comfort her."

Huaiqin nodded in understanding, and then whispered, "Sir, there is a pastry shop in our neighborhood. Huaiqin heard Zhen'er say that Sanniang likes to go there to buy some red bean cakes on weekdays."

"It's the peach blossom season now, and that shop has also launched peach blossom cakes. It seems that Sanniang hasn't tasted them yet. Why don't you go there and buy some later, young master?"

"Good idea!" Chang An nodded, "Talk to the driver about how to get there."

"Yes, son."

......

When Chang An returned home, he heard Song Jing's voice before he got off the carriage: "So that's it..."

After Chang An got off the carriage, he saw Song Jing holding a few doses of medicine and standing at the door with Gu Li, talking with a smile. Gu Li soon noticed Chang An approaching and looked over excitedly -

"Chang Lang!"

Chang An came up with a smile, then gently touched her face, put the cake box in his hand in front of her eyes, and said, "Here, this is the compensation I bought for Gu Niang."

"Thank you, Chang Lang! What is this?" Gu Li took the box from the other party with joy, and opened it to take a look.

Then Chang An bowed to Song Jing and said, "Yonghe greets you, sir. I wonder why you are here today?"

Song Jing laughed and scolded, "I am such a grown man standing here, but you don't greet me first, but go to coax your own wife first."

"Don't blame me, sir. I just let my wife suffer some injustice yesterday, and today I want to make it up to her." Chang An apologized, "Sir, how long have you been here? Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"I just arrived, so Madam Gu and I will wait for you for a while." Song Jing waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

Chang An extended his hand to lead the way and said, "Sir, please go in and talk first."

"Okay," Song Jing nodded, then handed the medicine in his hand to Chang An and said, "It's the season change, these are some medicines I bought on the way, you two can take a few doses when you get sick."

"Thank you, sir." Chang An took the medicine, then turned around and looked at Gu Li. He saw that she already had a piece of peach blossom cake in her mouth, but she was holding another in her hand.

"It's almost time for lunch. You can only eat one. You can eat the rest slowly later." Chang An reminded gently.

But after hearing what he said, Gu Li wanted to refute. But he was still eating, so he could only shake his head, and then put the piece of peach cake in his hand to Chang An's mouth, constantly signaling with his eyes.

Chang An saw what she meant, so he took it and took a bite, and then held the other person's hand with his free hand. At this time, Gu Li also put the box in front of Song Jing, motioning him to eat.

"Then I would like to thank Madam Gu for her kindness." Song Jing smiled, shook his sleeves and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake.

The three of them ate peach blossom cakes and walked to the courtyard. When they arrived at the courtyard, they had finished their cakes.

After Chang An put away the bookcase, he and Gu Li returned to the pavilion and asked, "Teacher, why did you come to look for me today?"

"It's your business." Song Jing said, his smile slightly put away.

Chang An's face became slightly solemn when he heard this, then he turned around and said to Gu Li in a casual manner, "Mother Gu, please go back to the room and wait for me. I want to talk to the master."

Gu Li was a little confused, but he nodded obediently and said, "Then when Chang Lang finishes talking to Prime Minister Su, remember to call me."

"Okay." Chang An rubbed her head and watched her go back into the house. She seemed to know how important the next topic was and closed the door.

Afterwards, the teacher and the student sat down in the pavilion, and Chang An asked, "Master, what do you want to say today? You can say it now."

"That's your business," Song Jing said, "The current situation of evil money is indeed as Yonghe and you expected before."

Chang An felt that Song Jing's words might be more than that, and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Why can't I let my wife know?"

"What I said is that everything is as you expected - including myself." Song Jing said.

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and soon remembered what he said at that time, that Song Jing would be dismissed from his position. In fact, originally, Song Jing would be dismissed from his position in the first month of this year, but because of the method proposed by Chang An in November last year, the dismissal was temporarily postponed.

"You said before that I might be hated because of this matter, and might even be dismissed from my position as prime minister. Isn't this going to happen?" Song Jing continued.

"Why? Sir, you can definitely take all the credit. The current emperor will definitely protect you." Chang An said.

"Take it all? I can't take it all." Song Jing smiled slightly, "Some time ago, when I went to look for the current emperor, he told me that you were conferred a title."

Chang An was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, you know everything?"

"Yes, the emperor not only wants to use you, but also wants me to leave the court safely." Song Jing said, "Now that the evil money issue has become a foregone conclusion, some people are making moves, and you should know that."

"They seem to want to find out about your existence. They might use Madam Gu as a threat to force you to end this matter."

"Me?" Chang An raised his eyebrows and said, "I am just a student. Even if I am arrested, it may not necessarily make the current emperor take back his order."

Song Jing shook his head and said, "You still think too little. They can ask you about the key loopholes in this plan, and then interfere with it and make the emperor issue a new decree. Maybe they can cancel this matter."

"Even if it doesn't work, they might just do something desperate. I know their methods."

Chang An smiled and said, "But I also ask King Qi and His Highness to set up a dead end for me. As long as things develop normally in the middle, at least for my wife, it will be absolutely safe."

"Is it your previous plan of luring the enemy into a trap and driving the tiger to devour the wolf?" Song Jing pointed out.

"Sir, you know everything?" Chang An couldn't help but be stunned.

"Of course, you are my student, how could I not know your idea?" Song Jing said with a smile, "I also heard about your plan from the Crown Prince before, and originally thought it was just a stopgap measure, but recently, some real information began to spread in the streets, so I guessed a little bit."

"Your plan is not a bad idea to protect peace for a while. After dealing with those evil officials, your affairs will naturally be exposed to the world. Some officials may target you because of your ability."

Chang An nodded. He naturally knew what Song Jing meant. At present, he could indeed rely on his status as prime minister to temporarily keep himself safe, but after Song Jing was dismissed, he and his beloved wife would have no reliable support.

"So I am here to arrange things for you later." Song Jing said.

"What happened later?"

Song Jing nodded and said, "I don't know why, but the current emperor, His Highness, and King Qi all think highly of you, so they are all paving the way for you. It can be seen that the current emperor really values ​​you, and even grants you a title for unfinished business."

"Even the current emperor has said that you may be my successor in the future. So the current emperor is also paying close attention to you, and the rumors in the market have also been reviewed by the current emperor himself."

Chang An was immediately surprised. Was it true that he had only come up with a plan, yet Li Longji valued him so much?

"The student just made a suggestion..."

Song Jing waved his hand and said, "The emperor is wise and wise, so we can have such a prosperous era. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be able to become a prime minister. It's just a matter of time."

"And what I want to tell you is only the time when you become the Prime Minister. If you are farther away, I will not be able to help you."

Chang An stood up at this time, bowed deeply to Song Jing, and said: "I don't ask to save myself, I only ask to protect my wife."

"Okay, okay, it's just a few words, why bother?" Song Jing pulled him up and said.

"I am dismissed from my position as prime minister, and Prime Minister Su will probably be dismissed as well, so neither of us will be in the court at that time. So you need to be careful when you are in the court at that time."

"So by then, either you, Yonghe, will have to use drastic measures again to consolidate your position, or you can only lie dormant and wait for the right time. So, you can only suppress all officials by yourself, or you can only wait until that time."

"You will surely win the first prize in the next spring exam. And with the favor of the present emperor, you will surely rise to the top. The rest is up to you."

Chang An was stunned for a moment. It turned out that what his master said was either to make a big splash or to be a turtle and wait for others to die. But it must be said that it was indeed a good idea.

"Once the matter of evil money is made public, you will be the object of competition among officials. Regardless of your status, just because you are good at dealing with evil money, they will definitely notice you and even approach you."

"So you need to be careful to maintain your sense of propriety. I cannot guarantee that they all have good intentions. You are just a student of the Imperial Academy, not an official. Don't stand with other officials or royal relatives at will. Otherwise, one wrong step will lead to a bottomless abyss."

"After the evil money incident is announced, you need to maintain your current state until the end of the Spring Examination. Don't have any dealings with unnecessary officials. This is the best way."

Although Chang An remembered everything, he was still confused. After thinking and digesting it for a while, he said:

"Thank you for your advice, sir."
