My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Wu Zhong returned to the Imperial College and went directly to his workplace. When he walked in, there was a middle-aged man still sitting in his seat, handling affairs.

"Li Sicheng?"

Wu Zhong shouted at this time, and the person who was working was Li Linfu, who was later named "honey mouth and sword in the heart". Half a year ago, because of Yuan Qianyao, he did not become a Langguan as he wished, and could only become a secretary of the Imperial Academy. To put it bluntly, he was the principal's secretary.

"Sir, I wonder what brings you back to the Imperial College today?" Li Linfu bowed respectfully to Wu Zhong and asked.

"I came here to talk to you today. I want to chat with you about the various talented people who have appeared recently." Wu Zhong did not directly state his purpose, but said this first.

"I'm all ears." Li Linfu didn't dare to show his claws yet. After all, his official position was too low, so he could only be respectful.

Wu Zhong spoke slowly: "There are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty. First there is the so-called poet Li Bai, and now there is the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty named by His Majesty himself: Duke Kangguo."

"Both of them are extremely talented poets, and I know that you have a keen eye and are good at judging. Why don't you discuss today, who is better, Li Bai or Duke Kangguo?"

Li Linfu smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's Duke Kangguo."

"Oh?" Wu Zhong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did Li Sicheng say that?"

Li Linfu replied: "Let's talk about poetry first. Li Bai's poetry style is too simple and heroic. But Kang Guogong's poetry style is several, as if he has transformed himself into thousands of people in his poems. His poetry can gather the strengths of hundreds of schools. He should be called a real exiled immortal."

"Apart from poetry and prose, what else makes you think that Duke Kangguo is better than Li Bai?"

Li Bai is not a very famous person. If he is famous, it is only for his poems and essays. He was born into a merchant family, and it was his poems and essays that attracted the attention of those bigwigs.

It can be said that Li Bai’s reputation in the Tang Dynasty was far less than that in the future.

"I heard that Li Bai also wanted to pursue a career in politics, but now Duke Kangguo recommended businessmen to take the imperial examinations, but he has no achievements. On the other hand, Duke Kangguo is the prince's teacher, which is another aspect," Li Linfu explained.

"There is another point. Duke Kangguo has won the favor of His Majesty before he even came of age. This allows Duke Kangguo to meet His Majesty without kneeling and to speak freely. There is nothing His Majesty will not listen to."

"And can't someone who can enable Your Majesty to achieve this be considered a true great sage?"

At this point, Li Linfu's jealousy could not help but burn. What he said was actually his own reflection. And he was also waiting for a time when he could show his power.

If there was such an opportunity, he would drive away all the talented people headed by Chang An and drive them out of Chang'an City!

At this time, Wu Zhong said: "This Duke Kangguo is good, but he doesn't have much eyes."

Li Linfu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wu Zhong, somewhat puzzled: "Master Jijiu, what do you mean?"

"This Duke Kangguo has now contradicted His Majesty's favorite concubine, who is my sister: Concubine Wu." I don't know why, but this brother always likes to put on airs by using his sister.

"He not only insulted Concubine Wu, but even wrote a poem to satirize Your Majesty in front of His Majesty, saying that she was Zhao Feiyan who brought disaster to the Han Dynasty."

"Is this serious?!"

Li Linfu was a little surprised at this time. He knew that Chang An was a very law-abiding person. Although he was a high-ranking official of the second rank, he would never ask to participate in the handling of state affairs unless the emperor asked him to.

He didn't care about the affairs of the imperial court, so how could he care about the affairs of the harem? Li Linfu didn't believe it anyway.

"Really, when Wu Jieyu and His Majesty went to look for Queen Wang, they met Duke Kang, who humiliated her. Later, Wu Jieyu wanted to put aside their past grudges and reconcile with Duke Kang, but he wrote a poem to satirize Wu Jieyu."

Li Linfu was a little absent-minded, and he still didn't believe it. But then Wu Zhong asked again: "Li Sicheng, you are married too, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you should know that those ladies look weak, but when it comes to scheming, they are top-notch." Wu Zhong said as if jokingly.

"My sister wants to target Duke Kangguo and make him behave himself. And the reason I came to you today is also for this matter."

"Looking for me?" Li Linfu frowned slightly and asked, "I am only a secretary of the Imperial Academy, and Duke Kang is in a high position and has great power. I dare not go against him."

Wu Zhong smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Today he is the Duke of Kangguo, but tomorrow he will be the Duke of Kangguo?"

"He will definitely be impeached this time, and no matter good or bad, he will be punished. When that time comes, Li Sicheng, do you think he will still be as high-spirited as he is now?"

Li Linfu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Could it be that Concubine Wu wants to take action against Duke Kang?"

"That's right. I'm looking for Li Sicheng today because I'm impressed by your strategy. If this thing succeeds, Wu Jieyu will have one less thorn in her heart, and you will be a hero."

"It's possible that Concubine Wu will come before His Majesty and say a few good words for you. In the end, her position as the Crown Prince's tutor may be yours." Wu Zhong coaxed.

Hearing this, Li Linfu became a little restless - although this matter was not planned by him, once it succeeded, he would be able to rise to a high position in an instant.

But in the end, Li Linfu was still cautious and asked, "But Duke Kangguo is so talented that I cannot compare with him."

"You can't beat him alone, so how can a group of people be able to beat him?" Wu Zhong said, "In addition to me, the Secretary General and Yuwen Zhongcheng are all planning to join in."

"Think about it, are you willing to be a minister of the Imperial Academy? With your talent, you should be a prime minister."

Isn't Li Linfu moved? It would be a lie to say that he is not moved!

Not to mention the position of prime minister, even Chang An's current position is not something he can hope for. But they said that if this matter is resolved, they might be able to get a promotion.

"You should still remember Yuwen Zhongcheng, right? Maybe you two have something to communicate about." Wu Zhong continued with a smile.

"So what do you need me to do?"

Li Linfu agreed faster than Yuwen Rong, after all, he had been in this position for long enough. He wanted to climb higher - to be second only to the emperor and above everyone else!

Wu Zhong smiled with relief at this time and said, "In that case, there is indeed something I want you to help with."

"Please tell me, my Lord. I will definitely be able to do it."

"it is good!"

"Please listen carefully!"

......

Wu Zhong and Wu Qinghui were working very hard to win over other officials, but Chang An seemed to be relaxed. He and Gu Li were both at home, and they coaxed the two little ones back to their rooms to sleep.

So at this time, there were only Chang An and Gu Li in the room. They were sitting on the bed, teasing each other. They had been married for four years and had played this trick for four years without getting tired of it.

At this time, Chang Qi walked in and did not forget to close the door after entering the room.

Gu Li then loosened his arms around Chang An's neck and sat up straight. Chang An asked, "How's it going? Have you handed over the things?"

"My Lord, I have already handed over the last batch of rewards from His Majesty."

"Did he say anything?" Chang An asked again.

"He said don't worry."

Chang An nodded and said, "That's good, you can go down and have a rest."

"Yes, thank you sir."

Gu Li just watched Chang An playing dumb in front of him, not understanding at all. After Chang Qi left, Gu Li asked, "Chang Lang, what are you talking about?"

"It's a big deal." Chang An put Gu Li's arm back around his neck.

"A big deal?" Gu Li frowned slightly, as if he had heard this sentence somewhere before.

She tightened her arms slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Is it the last time Chang Lang came home late? That time Chang Lang said something important happened. Is it the same thing this time?"

"It's over. Gu Niang is so smart. The little secrets in Chang Lang's heart are all seen through." Chang An half-jokingly admitted this at this time.

Gu Li pursed her cherry lips slightly and said, "Then I won't ask anymore. Just focus on your big things. No matter what Chang Lang does, I will always support him!"

As he spoke, Gu Li raised his fist and waved it. Chang An smiled, nodded, and said, "Chang Lang will definitely win this matter, otherwise it will be a shame for Gu Niang's encouragement."

"Hehe." Gu Li laughed twice with pride, and then said a little more aggressively: "Then Chang Lang, give me a kiss, and the chances of success will be greater."

"Really?! Is Gu Niang really as spiritual as a bodhisattva?" Chang An was surprised. "Is it because Gu Niang's name contains the word "li" (carp), so she can bring good luck to people just like a koi?"

Listening to Chan Ang's random guesses, Gu Li's emotions were aroused. She smiled and said, "Then Chang Lang should give it a try. It won't hurt anyway."

"Little goblin, you're tempting me again..."

"No, Chang Lang just did what he was supposed to do."
