In order to prevent Gu Qing from sleeping on the pile of money again, he specially placed a bed here. In the middle of the night, Gu Qing was still awake in the warehouse. The house was very quiet. Gu Qing walked out of the warehouse with a quilt wrapped in bed and sniffled, closed the door casually, and sat alone in the night.

When the maid saw Gu Qing wake up, she hurried to prepare hot water.

Holding the hot tea brought by the maid, Gu Qing drank it without a single sip and thought about the situation in front of him. It was the end of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, and it will be the twenty years of Zhenguan as soon as the spring next year.

Looking at the empty night in front of him, Fang Xuanling's face appeared in his mind again and again. Since entering Chang'an, Fang Xuanling's teachings have always been to give guidance from the side. After traveling through time for so many years, he never thought he would have an entanglement with such a person.

Power is a double-edged sword. This sword is very sharp to me. Li Er will not let me control the actual power, especially in terms of military power. Now I am a Shangshu Ling, and the entire Shangshu Province is just a errand.

It’s just about officialdom and court, go out and go for a while.

Gu Qing sat there all night until dawn.

Sun Simiao woke up early and saw Gu Qing leading the horse, "What are you going to do early in the morning?"

"Go to court!" Gu Qing said to Sun Simiao as he turned over.

"Go." Sun Simiao nodded with a smile, "I have never thought of you as a good person, but don't let so many elders down."

"Master." Gu Qing sighed in the cold air, "Actually, I am a good person."

Sun Simiao: "Haha."

Riding along the way to Chang'an City, he got off the horse and walked across Zhuque Street to Chengtian Gate.

Gu Qing came to court again! This was a rare thing. He would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Cheng Yaojin stared at Gu Qing for a long time.

"Did Uncle Cheng eat it?" Gu Qing also looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"I have eaten it." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

"That boy is relieved." Gu Qing sighed.

"Old Niu, look at this boy." Cheng Yaojin pointed at Gu Qing and was angry, "This boy was afraid that I wouldn't eat anything in the morning, so he ate him! Lao Niu, you judge him. Is this kind of person?"

Niu Jinda yawned, "You old man Cheng looked at them so straight, and they should think too much."

"I'm not sure if this kid takes the initiative to come to court." Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Qing again, "Boy, when was the last time you went to court?"

"Last time." Gu Qing thought for a long time, "Sorry, I can't remember it."

Cheng Yaojin seemed to have known Gu Qinghui said this a long time ago, and he sneered.

The palace gate opened, Gu Qing followed the officials into the palace, took off his shoes and walked into the Tai Chi Palace.

While the court meeting was not officially held, officials in the court chatted about their family matters.

"Gu Qing." Chu Suiliang walked and said, "You stayed in Ganlu Palace all night yesterday?"

"Yes, I'm so tired, I'm still sleepy." Gu Qing stretched, "Your Majesty is sick, I'll suffer!"

Chu Suiliang smiled, "But fortunately, you and Doctor Sun are there. Your Majesty can get better so quickly. I still can't understand. Did the Japanese really beat us Tang people?"

"What do you want to do so much?" Gu Qing disagreed.

Li Er walked into the court and saw Gu Qing standing here. He also understood that Gu Qing had made a decision.

All officials celebrated their rituals, and the court meeting began. The first thing that started was that the Persian prince had already arrived at Yumen Pass and would arrive in Chang'an within a few days.

I thought that this time the envoy would be a Persian envoy, but I didn't expect that the Persian prince would come. The message sent from Yumen Pass was that the Middle East was already full of war, and the war was not only swept to the western end of the Silk Road.

"Your Majesty!" said the official from Yumen Pass, "According to the Persian prince, Zhu sent 50,000 elite troops today to help Dashi attack Persia."

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar, and Dashi and Tianzhu joined forces.

Li Er's expression was very serious. After allowing Dashi to join forces with Tianzhu for so many days.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang stepped forward and said, "Now that the Western War is in war, Dashi and Tianzhu join forces, Persia is far from the opponent of the two countries. I think it should send troops to support Persia."

Listening to the words, Gu Qing felt something was wrong, "Your Majesty! I don't agree with the idea of ​​the Secretariat."

"Say!" Li Er said in a deep voice.

"At that time, Persia and Dashi, the Middle East countries joined forces to invade Tubo and kill them with our Tang soldiers!" Gu Qing's voice echoed in Tai Chi Palace, "It is okay to ask us to help Persia, but Persia must apologize to our Tang Dynasty and become a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty!"

"I do not agree with the view of the Shangshu Ling." Chu Suiliang also said, "Your Majesty! Persia must apologize and pay the price for their original actions. If Persia bows its head and becomes a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty at this time, it will be a pity for others to take advantage of the danger."

Chu Suiliang refuted Gu Qing again and again, and Fang Xuanling saw it a little. The way to weigh it! Your Majesty wanted to use Chu Suiliang to weigh Gu Qing. Gu Qing's character has always been independent, and Chu Suiliang is the best shackle that can check and balance Gu Qing.

"Our Tang has the strength to make Persia our vassal state." Gu Qing said again, "Persia stands at the western end of the business road. If the Tang Dynasty can hold Persia, we can rest assured about the future business road!"

"No!" Chu Suiliang said again, "Even if Persia becomes a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, we must make the obedience of Persia surrender. When taking advantage of others' crises in this way, people may be afraid that people will have different hearts in the future, and the opposite will be true."

In fact, what both of them said makes sense. Li Er thought to himself that it is indeed a good opportunity to seize Persia, a very, very good opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know how to find the opportunity, but it is also like what Chu Suiliang said.

The moment is indeed right in front of us, but it is the most dangerous time to hold Persia. If Persia recovers its vitality in the future, it will be rebellious and even worsen.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Qing also said, "The Silk Road cannot fall into the hands of Dashi and Tianzhu. Once the situation in the Middle East changes drastically, the Tang Dynasty will lose its dominance over the trade route. We cannot give up this barrier."

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling said, "It's better to wait for the Persian prince to be like Chang'an. Let's talk about it again. There are not only one way to make Persia a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. There are always more ways than problems."

Li Er wanted Persia to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted forever peace on the Silk Road.

The court meeting came to an abrupt end here, and Fang Xuanling stopped the argument between Gu Qing and Chu Suiliang.

Gu Qing was walking on the way to retreat, waiting? Waiting for the Persian prince to come to Chang'an. Isn't it cold? Maybe Persia will be dead.
