"Teacher, we can't lose this time." Gu Qing whispered, "It's not difficult for the Tang Dynasty to capture a Goguryeo today."

"The former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, failed in the three battles of Goguryeo, and he returned in a defeat three times, which is not without reason." Fang Xuanling said worriedly, "You must not be careless. Although Goguryeo is small, it is still too unfamiliar to us children in Guanzhong."

"In fact, the terrain of Goguryeo is not complicated. The hills and plains intersect, and there are many small hills." Gu Qing said, "The Taibai Mountains divide Goguryeo, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, into north and south. Goguryeo's north is Silla and Baekje."

"You have already studied Goguryeo." Fang Xuanling looked at Gu Qing.

Actually, I really want to explain that I learned about geography when I was a child. Gu Qing explained, "Students are indeed prepared."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said nothing.

In fact, what Gu Qing was most worried about was Changbai Mountain. The longest eruption in Baishan Mountain was recorded in history. Three hundred years later, it was a major eruption, which even affected Japan. It was said that Changbai Mountain should not erupt at this time.

When experiencing the east, you have to bypass the mountains of Changbai Mountain. Changbai Mountain is the dividing line between the Central Plains and Goguryeo, and it is also the highest mountain in the northeastern area of ​​the Central Plains.

"What are you thinking?" Fang Xuanling looked at Gu Qing.

"Nothing." Gu Qing waved his hand with a smile.

"It's getting late, stay for dinner." Fang Xuanling stood up.

Gu Qing also followed Fang Xuanling out of the study room. The food was ready. The Fang family was familiar with Gu Qing. Fang Yizhi had been in the academy these days and had never come back. Gu Qing sat at the dining table. The dishes were very simple, a bowl of fish soup, a bowl of steamed bacon, and some vegetables.

Fang Yiai was eating on his own, and the wife of the house smiled and said, "I'll cook a few more dishes, Gu Qing rarely comes to eat."

"No need for teacher's wife." Gu Qing also said, "It's enough to eat."

"There are some eggs at home, which were brought by Dalang." The mother of the house smiled kindly, "Don't be polite, you kid, eat more when you come to the teacher's house."

After dinner, Gu Qing bid farewell to Fang Xuanling and rushed home during the curfew. Di Renjie was rushing back, "Teacher."

"Are Dali Temple so busy today?" Gu Qing looked at Di Renjie, "I'm just going home now."

"It's not because of Goguryeo's incident." Di Renjie relaxed his muscles and bones. "Your Majesty issued an order to find out the guy who went to Goguryeo to help Yoon Gasuwen. Shangguan Yi brought a portrait, and it is said that this person also knew Tang Xuanzang."

As he said that, Di Renjie took out the portrait from his cuff, "The student has quietly taken it out and wanted the monk and the others to check it."

Looking at the person in the portrait, Gu Qing looked at him for a long time and always felt a sense of familiarity. He must have seen him somewhere and never remembered where he was. This feeling is very strange.

"You will ask the monk to check tomorrow."

The two walked to the gate of Chang'an City and stopped talking. They smiled and greeted the two guards, riding their horses all the way away. When they returned to their doorstep, they saw a guy waiting anxiously there.

"Why are you here?" Gu Qing looked at Zhang San strangely.

"Marty!" Zhang San looked at Gu Qing, "Marty, you're here."

After turning over and dismounting, Gu Qing asked the guard at home to lead the horse into the stable and asked Zhang San, "What's wrong?"

Zhang San's mouth twitched, what's wrong? You, the Minister of State, didn't come to the government office all day long to get a job. Is there such a joke on the Secretary of State? Could it be that Mr. Gu really doesn't take the important position of the three provinces and six ministries to heart?

"Mr. Marquis, you don't have to do business as an official." Zhang San said aggrievedly, "Mr. Marquis can be a shopkeeper when doing business, but Marquis also needs to take a look at the affairs of the Shangshu Province."

"Then you can watch it for me." Gu Qing said lightly.

"Mr. Marquis." Zhang San followed a few steps and looked at Gu Qing as if he was not afraid of boiling water. He was so angry that he stood up straight. "Gu County Hou! Have you taken the Shangshu Ling that Your Majesty gave to you as a joke?"

"Hiss..." Gu Qing took a breath and nodded and stared at him, "Are you scaring me with your Majesty?"

"No! I don't mean that." Zhang San was so angry that he slapped his whole body.

"Then what do you mean?" Gu Qing also became interested.

"Mr. Marquis, the officials are suffering." Zhang San looked like a deflated ball with a sad face, "Mr. Marquis, you don't know, and we don't know where our Shangshu Province has violated the new Minister of Personnel. With one stroke, we have all the old people from the Ministry of Personnel into our Shangshu Province."

Gu Qing: "One stroke?"

Zhang San: "It's just a big stroke in the hand of the Minister of Personnel."

"Actually..." Gu Qing kept silent and said after thinking about it, "It's not a single stroke of the Minister of Personnel."

"Who is that!" Zhang San looked angry.

"Hey hey hey!" Looking at Zhang San, Gu Qing said, "Put your expression away. In fact, with my stroke, I took those people into our hands."

Zhang San's expression was dull for a long time. "…ah."

"Don't." Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "You are also the Minister of the Secretariat now. Those guys must listen to you, the Minister of the Secretariat, and I, right?"

Zhang San nodded stiffly.

"That's right." Gu Qing lowered his tone, "We will torture them no matter how the Ministry of Personnel struggled. We will not wait ten years, but now we will report it back and forth. Give them a knife each and let them commit suicide on the spot to thank the world. Isn't the stabbing exciting? Are you surprised?"

Thinking about that scene, Zhang San's legs became weak and looked up at the sky, "Marty, it seems that it will rain."

"It's not that good." Gu Qing looked at the night sky, "You stay here too. Let's discuss how to let these guys commit suicide to thank the world."

"Oh!" Zhang Sanyi slapped his thigh, "Xiaguan remembered that he forgot to lock the door when he went out today."

Looking at Zhang San who was leaving in a hurry, Gu Qing sighed, "Even excuses are so far-fetched."

————————————————————————————————Split line

Li Er was still discussing the Eastern Expedition with Li Jing. In the quiet room, Li Jing whispered, "Your Majesty, the wind season in the East China Sea is coming, and the wind season will be storms as soon as it comes."

Li Jing said this and Li Er also remembered that there will be a windy season along the East China Sea coast as soon as summer comes, with strong winds and heavy floods. "The recent windy season is coming."

"Yes." Li Jing nodded.

"So the best time to send troops is in the autumn?" Li Er was puzzled.

"No!" Li Jing continued, "If it comes to autumn, we will miss the best opportunity to enter Goguryeo. After autumn, I am afraid that the turmoil in Goguryeo will subside, and the opportunity cannot be missed!"
