My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 217 Xiaoguai is also rewarded

After hearing Chang An's words, Li Longji and Gu Li were both stunned for a moment. Li Longji then asked, "According to Marquis Dingkang's opinion, how should we deal with it?"

But Gu Li was still sitting next to Chang An at this time, so he couldn't speak, so he gently squeezed Gu Li's hand and said, "Mother Gu, go to the study and read for a while. I will come to you after I finish talking to His Majesty."

Gu Li nodded, then stood up with the help of Huaiqin and Zhen'er and left the room. When leaving, he did not forget to close the door.

Li Longji then said: "However, those Turks and tribes are scattered, how can we kill them?"

"Set up a Hongmen Banquet, lure him into the city, and kill him in one fell swoop." Chang An said calmly, as if such a thing was just a matter of a word for him, and he would not have any psychological burden.

Li Longji was somewhat surprised. He had never expected that such words as "Hongmen Banquet luring to death" would come from the mouth of a scholar. Then he asked: "According to your idea, who should be killed? Or should the whole family be exterminated?"

"Why do you want to exterminate the entire clan? Isn't that cruel?" Chang An smiled, took a sip of the half-finished candied pear, and said, "Your Majesty, the one who intends to rebel is only the leader in a high position, and the people below are just following orders."

"As the saying goes, no action is taken without an order. This kind of thing will only be done if someone in a higher position gives the order. Does that mean that if someone in a higher position cannot give the order, then people in lower positions will not do it?"

"As long as we kill those high-ranking officials who have treasonous intentions, not only can we cut off the rebellious intentions of some people, but we can also serve as a warning to those who still have evil intentions."

Li Longji thought about the whole plan that Chang An had said, and then asked, "It's fine if they enter the city, but what if they don't?"

"That's easy," Chang An said, "Your Majesty, you just need to start writing."

Li Longji frowned slightly, feeling that he was included in Chang An's plan again. But even so, he continued to listen patiently: "Your Majesty, you need to issue an edict, saying that you want to reward them, and they need to enter the city to receive rewards and banquets. In short, it can be reasonable."

"If they accept the order and enter the city for a banquet, we can kill them. But if they don't accept the order, the crime of treason will be confirmed. We have a legitimate reason to send troops to kill them."

"In any case, even if they knew it was a trap, they would die if they jumped in, and if they didn't jump in... Could the Turks rush to rescue them on the day they received the imperial edict?"

"Or in other words, will the Turks save us?"

Li Longji thought carefully about Chang An's plan. It was indeed very bold and seemed impeccable. Unless those people planned to start attacking the city today, they could only sit and wait for death.

"This method is very good." Li Longji agreed to this method. When he was about to ask for a reward, the other party spoke first:

"Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request."

Li Longji nodded and said, "Marquis Dingkang, please speak."

"That's it..." Chang An hesitated and said, "For this time, all the credit should be given to General Wang. I am just a talker and I don't want to take credit for it."

Li Longji was slightly startled, and then he laughed out of anger. Others who offered advice would be eager to receive a reward, but this young marquis in front of him did not want a reward at all.

"Why don't you want it?" Li Longji knew clearly why the other party didn't dare to ask for the reward, but it was a rare opportunity to see the other party suffer a setback, so why not do it?

"I haven't even reached adulthood yet, and I've never taken the imperial examination, but I've received awards again and again. Doesn't this make life difficult for other students..." Chang An laughed and said.

Li Longji frowned slightly and threatened: "Marquis Dingkang, you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"This..." Chang An scratched his head and said, "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. I am afraid that Your Majesty will grant me another marriage. If Your Majesty listens to my words and is pleased, and grants me another marriage, I will go to the palace to disobey your order..."

"But my wife is pregnant now and cannot stand being frightened. If I dare to resist the marriage, I am afraid that it will not only be me who will be in trouble. So I dare not take credit for it. Being able to help Your Majesty solve problems is already the greatest gift to me."

As he said this, Chang An bowed his head slightly to show that he admitted his mistake. But what he got was not Li Longji's dissatisfaction, but his laughter: "Hahaha! Marquis Dingkang, Marquis Dingkang, I didn't expect that you, who acted boldly, would still have a soft spot."

"Of course I know that Madam Zichuan is pregnant, so today I have changed the reward to Eunuch Cheng."

"Here." Eunuch Cheng, who had been standing silently by the side, took a step forward.

"Give the things to Lord Kang."

"Yes."

Eunuch Cheng placed the basket in front of Chang'an, opened it and showed the contents to Chang'an, and said, "Marquis Dingkang, this is a gift that His Majesty has specially prepared for your descendants."

Chang An looked at the basket. Inside was a pure gold longevity lock and a small pure gold bracelet. Further inside were a few packets of medicinal herbs.

At this time, Eunuch Cheng introduced: "This is the longevity lock and gold bracelet bestowed by His Majesty. These medicines are also specially prepared by His Majesty for Madam Zichuan County by the imperial physician. They can help to maintain pregnancy and health."

These things are all good things, especially for Chang An now, this is the best reward. He quickly stepped back two steps, knelt down, and said:

"Thank you, Lord. Long live your Majesty."

Li Longji smiled and said, "Alright, alright, Marquis Dingkang, please stand up. I am not someone who does not know how to reward and punish. Rewards are rewards, and punishments are punishments. You have made great contributions, so I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chang An sat back in his original seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Longji just quietly finished the rock sugar and snow pear soup in front of him and said, "This rock sugar and snow pear soup is really delicious. Okay, today's worries are all gone, I will leave first. This matter is a secret report, Dingkang Hou remember, don't tell this to outsiders."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Li Longji stood up and walked out with Eunuch Cheng. Chang An also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

"Marquis Dingkang, please stay. There's no need to see me off."

Chang An then came to the door and watched Li Longji leave. After confirming that Li Longji had left, Chang An came to the study.

Gu Li was sitting in the study, reading a book written by Chang An. When he noticed Chang An coming in, he raised his head and called out sweetly, "Chang Lang".

"Have Chang Lang and His Majesty discussed everything?"

"It's settled." Chang An walked up with a smile and helped Gu Li up.

When the two returned to the room, Chang An pointed to the basket on the table and said, "Mother Gu, this is a reward from His Majesty."

Gu Li nodded and said, "Chang Lang helped His Majesty solve problems, so naturally he will be rewarded."

Chang An smiled, pulled her to the low table and sat down, then took her into his arms and said, "But these rewards are not for me."

"Who is that for?"

Gu Li was a little confused and wanted to see what was given to her, but Chang An pulled her and wanted to rub her face. Gu Li had no choice but to obey Chang An and let him "molest" her.

But Chang An certainly wouldn't let Gu Libai be curious. After pausing the intimate actions for a while, he reached out and took the basket and placed it in front of Gu Li.

Gu Li took the basket, rubbed Chang An a few times, and asked doubtfully: "Is this a longevity lock and a bracelet? They seem to be made of gold..."

As he was talking, Gu Li suddenly picked up the gold bracelet and tried to bite it. Chang An was so scared that he quickly stretched out his hand to block it. He said, "Don't bite it. It's dirty."

After hearing this, Gu Li reluctantly moved the food away from her mouth. Chang An saw that she was still unwilling to give up, so he patted her cheek to comfort her and said:

"These are all given by His Majesty to Xiaoguai and Gu Niang."

"Does Xiaoguai have one too?" Gu Li was a little surprised at this time. He held the longevity lock and bracelet in his little hand and asked, "Could it be that these longevity lock and bracelet are for Xiaoguai?"

"correct."

"Xiaoguai is so amazing. He received the reward from His Majesty before he even came out of his mother's belly." Gu Li excitedly took the two small things and knocked them against each other.

Gu Li suddenly asked again: "What reward did His Majesty give to Chang Lang?"

"Your Majesty did not give me any reward, only to Xiaoguai and Gu Niang."

"Ah?" Gu Li looked through the basket again. The longevity lock and the gold bracelet were both small, and the only thing left inside was the medicine bag. It seemed that there was really no reward for Chang An.

"The longevity lock and bracelet are for Xiaoguai, and these medicines are for stabilizing the fetus and nourishing the mind, and are for Mother Gu." Chang An said.

Gu Li was a little dissatisfied at this time, and pouted and said, "Why are all the gifts given to me and Xiaoguai? Chang Lang is obviously the one who helps His Majesty solve problems."

Chang An explained with a smile: "This is the punishment from His Majesty."

"What did Chang Lang do wrong? Why is he being punished?"

"Didn't I go to the emperor to disobey his order last time? His Majesty punished me this time because of this." Chang An said, "But Gu Niang did nothing wrong, so His Majesty reserved the reward for Gu Niang."

"So that's how it is..." After hearing this, Gu Li nodded in understanding.

Then Gu Li put the things back into the basket, put the basket on the table, turned over in Chang An's arms, and said, "Chang Lang gave advice and solved problems for His Majesty. Although he did not receive His Majesty's reward, he received Gu Niang's reward."

Chang Lang raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask, Madam, what reward do you want to give me?"

Gu Li leaned closer to Chang An and said, "I just..."

"Reward my great hero Chang Lang with a big kiss, okay?"
