Chapter 26 On Duty
"I said that!" Wei Zheng's beard trembled with anger.
Niu Jinda kicked Cheng Yaojin hard.
"Old Niu! Why are you kicking me?" Cheng Yaojin turned around and looked at Niu Jinda with great force. He immediately understood something and hurriedly bowed and lowered his head.
"Get back to me!" Li Shimin covered his forehead in pain, as if he was having a headache.
Gu Qing quietly left with the crowd.
"stop!"
Hearing a call, Gu Qingtou didn't speed up his pace. He suddenly felt a strange force behind him being held in mid-air. He raised his eyes and found Cheng Yaojin's big face.
"Your Majesty asked you to stop, the little baby's ears are not good, right?"
After throwing it casually, Gu Qing was thrown behind everyone, and Cheng Yaojin quickly fled.
"Your Majesty..." He stood up and bowed his head.
"Follow me." Li Shimin stood up and walked all the way, and Gu Qing followed him in a small step.
Li Tai wanted to follow but was stopped by Wang Qin. He stood there with Li Chenggan and watched the two figures drowned in the darkness.
As he walked along the way, Gu Qing felt a lot of ups and downs. Did the current emperor find that he was traveling through time and wanted to chop himself up? It was so cruel. The eunuch following him laughed gloomy and unconsciously shuddered.
Walking to a pond, Li Shimin looked at the bright moon and said, "Gu Qing, where are you from?"
How to answer this question? Li Shimin hesitated in his heart, and said, "I first discovered that you were in Jingzhou. The Wu family left you and Sun Simiao. It's just that the clothes you have never seen before. The materials are not like cloth, and they have never seen them."
"Go back to Your Majesty!" Gu Qing looked at the moon and said, "The boy was indeed born in the Central Plains. He has lived abroad with his family since childhood and has only been back in the past few years."
I don’t know if this panic can fool you, Gu Qing said.
"Is there really a heavenly court?" Li Shimin asked again.
I took a breath of cold air in my heart. The emperor is the emperor. I think I have been investigated clearly along the way.
"That was made up by the boy, and there was no heaven." Gu Qing said.
"Make it randomly?" Li Shimin stared at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing dared not look directly at his eyes, Li Er's eyes were very sharp, "Your Majesty, that's really made up by the grass-roots."
"Are you very close to the King of Wei?" Li Shimin changed his question.
"Yes." Gu Qing said, "Caomin met the King of Wei in Tongguan, met outside Tongguan, and fought the bandits together."
"The King of Wei gave you a house, and you sold it again, right?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Yes." Gu Qing answered honestly.
"Guanyin maid said you are slick. I have seen you twice, even if you are slick, you are sincere." Li Shimin said again: "Who will you choose between the King of Wei and the Crown Prince."
Gu Qing was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He thought about everything, but he didn't expect Li Er to ask so directly.
"Don't think I can't see that the prince is paying attention to you." Li Shimin lowered his voice, "You are a slut, but you are possessed by papermaking and movable type printing, and a hidden weapon like a fairy magic weapon. How can I rest assured if you are a slut."
It's over! Gu Qing's body and mind are cold, and he is going to chop my head as he says?
"I want you to choose between the crown prince and the king of Wei." Li Shimin raised his head and said.
"The grass-roots follow the order." Gu Qing replied.
"From tomorrow, you will follow Fang Xuanling to the Secretariat." Li Shimin said, "Gu Qing, you understand my intention."
He didn't quite understand in his heart, Gu Qing said, "The grass-roots understand."
"Get back." After Li Shimin said that, Gu Qing left in small steps and turned around one step at a time in Chang'an City, which was quiet at night, for fear that Li Er would send someone to take his life. The Tang Dynasty was so terrible! God, let me travel back in time.
When Li Er returned to the bedroom, Empress Changsun helped the current emperor take off his clothes, "Erlang, why did you let Gu Qing become an official again?"
"This kid is so stupid, at least the officialdom can rub him." Li Er lay tiredly on the bed.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "I know Erlang's thoughts, Gu Qing will be uncertain for a day! Qingque and the prince will be uncertain for a day, saying that they don't want Qingque and Chengqian to compete. Your Majesty wants to take Gu Qing, the kid, in his own hands."
"Guanyin maid, fortunately you are a woman." Li Shimin comforted him and said.
While tidying up his clothes, Empress Changsun said again, "Many of the courts are discerning people. Gu Qing is the youngest official in the court. His Majesty said that he didn't want Gu Qing to be an official, saying that he was too young, and he still couldn't let go, right?"
Back at the Taoist Temple, Gu Qing took care of the potato seedlings for a while and saved a lot of seeds over the years. After the Taoist Temple, they planted potatoes in the acre of land. Watch each plant carefully. Each potato seedling can grow at least four potatoes. There should be more than 300 potatoes next year. I don’t know if the water and soil in Chang’an are suitable for potato growth. Potatoes should not be very picky. After rest assured, they returned to bed and slept until noon.
When he woke up, he saw Yang Sheng sitting on the threshold and biting the grass roots, "The people from the government have come three times."
"People from the government?" Gu Qing asked.
"Here!" Yang Sheng pointed to the official uniform on the side, "They asked you why you didn't go on duty yet. You slept like a dead pig, and you couldn't wake up no matter how hard you were. You were still saying some inexplicable words."
"What did I say!" Gu Qing also sat down.
"What did you say to start a big group? Start a group?" Yang Sheng said in confusion: "What is a cheating thing?"
"It's a bad thing!" Gu Qing slapped his thigh, and then he remembered that Li Er asked him to follow Fang Xuanling to the Secretariat last night.
"You have only been in Chang'an for so many days, and you have become an official." Yang Sheng was amazed.
Putting on the official uniform in a daze, Gu Qing hurriedly rode the donkey away from the Taoist temple, came to Chang'an and ran all the way to the palace, and said to the guard in front of the palace gate: "I'll be on duty."
The guard glanced at Gu Qing's official uniform and said, "The time to enter the palace has passed, and you cannot enter without notice."
"I'm really here to be on duty, I'm just late." Gu Qing said again.
The guard said again: "Where is the one who comes to pay this time? We will not let it go without notification."
Changsun Wuji walked out of the palace and saw Gu Qing blocking the door with a funny look on his face, "Why did you come?"
"I've overslept. I said I'm here to be on duty and they don't believe it." Gu Qing said embarrassedly.
"Fang Xuanling is still dealing with political affairs, you can go quickly." Changsun Wuji smiled and said to the guard in front of the palace gate, "Let him in, he really comes to pay the price."
The guard then let go of the way.
"When you enter the palace gate, turn right and go to the Secretariat Province. Don't run around. There are some places in the palace that you can't enter." Changsun Wuji looked at Gu Qing, the junior, with an admiration, "Don't come late next time."
"I said I'm here to be on duty, you don't believe it!" Gu Qing hurriedly walked into the palace gate.
