"Have you gone to see your father?" Li Chengqian drank the wine in the wine bottle.

"I'll go in a while." Li Tai sat down rudely and asked the palace maid who was serving aside to pour wine. "I thought it would be very disturbing to see the emperor."

"I do have a lot of things on me." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "It's just a break from your busy schedule, and your life is free."

"I'm used to living a happy life, and I'm afraid I can't get the things I used to." Li Tai admired the dance of the palace maids, "Is this a white dance?"

"Indeed." Li Chengqian nodded.

Li Tai looked at him and shook his head, "Bai Wuyuan is not a court dance, but it just started to become famous among the nobles in Guizhou. I prefer simpler ones. Such luxurious and heavy makeup are less elegant and graceful as Bai Wu should have."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian waved his sleeves and asked the palace maids to retreat, "Is it because of Gu Qing this time?"

In the quiet East Palace, there were only a few maids standing aside to serve wine.

"It was originally a small matter. After the emperor's intervention, the city of Chang'an was full of ups and downs." Li Tai stared at Li Chengqian, "What exactly is Gu Qing now that makes you feel assured."

"If you stand in the position of orphan, you will also feel that Gu Qing is a threat." Li Chengqian took a sip of wine again, "Now Gu Qing is under pressure from his father. Can the orphans still suppress Gu Qing once his father abdicates? Gu Qing is too cunning."

"You would rather be foolish people around you than have an extra opponent, right?" Li Tai's tone began to become heavier.

Li Chengqian shook his head.

"Gu Qing will inherit Fang Xuanling's mantle. The father, Fang Xiang and Gu Qing have reached a tacit understanding, and it cannot be changed." Li Tai continued, "Why don't you think about why Gu Qing has not sat in Fang Xuanling's position yet, because his father left Gu Qing to you."

Li Tai picked up the wine bottle and drank it again, "The father left Wei Zheng, and this time the father left Gu Qing. The emperor hopes that you understand the father's painstaking efforts. Of course, just like you said that Gu Qing will become your opponent and will not become your loyal slave, but Gu Qing is not so easy to master."

"Even if it is between the father and Gu Qing, Gu Qing is still between the one who should do it or not." Li Tai's words continued, "Some things are done by Gu Qing, not the one who wants Gu Qing to do it. Just like the father gives him official positions many times, how did Gu Qing deal with it? He has never been a person who likes power, but a person who hates power."

"That's all, I'll go to see my father." Li Tai stood up and left, leaving Li Chengqian alone.

Li Tai met with Li Chengqian, and in the Gu family courtyard on the other side, Gu Qing faced a group of old generals sitting in the country.

"Dear uncles." Gu Qing said loudly, "This time the matter is a rash boy, so I'll apologize first!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Qing and drank the wine in one sip and said, "I want to ask you what you want after you buy these merchants."

"It will be useful in the future." Gu Qing walked along, "If it is not useful, I won't buy it. Don't worry, uncles! Some business deals, my Gu family can't afford it, and my Gu Qing's territory is only in this village. We will make a fortune in the future."

Cheng Yaojin raised his glass and drank it in one sip.

"There is one more thing." Gu Qing continued, "The ship that went to the East China Sea to do maritime trade last year is coming back now. Are all the maritime traders still here?"

"Of course there?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Gu Qing with a smile.

Gu Qing also looked at everyone with a smile. He was the biggest creditor of these elders. "That's great. Once the sea trade starts, we have a lot of money!"

"good!"

Cheng Yaojin drank it in one gulp, and the old dukes raised their glasses to drink.

The Gu family held a banquet, and Li Xiaogong walked out of the yard and came to Yang Sheng, "Don't you go in and sit down?"

"I don't want to go in." Yang Sheng was sleepy, as if he had just woken up in the afternoon and watched his daughter and his wife playing on the grass.

"I plan to live like this in the future?" Li Xiaogong asked.

"Yeah." Yang Sheng nodded vigorously, "It's time for peace, and it's time to calm down. I never want to see my wife and children worry about being afraid when they go out. In the past few years, I have experienced more things than in my life. I'm almost forty years old and want to stay at home and spend the rest of my life. This is great."

"When I was at your age, Your Majesty had ascended the throne, and since then I have been sitting in Chang'an for a long time, I have become an idle powerful man." Li Xiaogong looked at the scenery that was about to grow grass and beakers, "I can't figure out why you don't want military merits."

"If I want military merit, I have to join the army. This is not what I want." Yang Sheng bit the grass roots and looked at the blue sky, "It's better, it's better."

"Gu Qing is a person who values ​​friendship, and life will not be bad if you have him." Li Xiaogong said again.

"Yes." Yang Sheng nodded, "Gu Qing said he wanted to give me a deal that could make a living, but I couldn't do it."

The guests dispersed, and Gu Qing looked at Yang Sheng, "You are so good at chatting with the Prince of Hejian."

"He is a cheerful person." Yang Sheng said seriously.

Two months later in Chang'an...

In the East China Sea, Shangguan Yi's fleet also came to the port. Yan Liben looked at Wu Chang's fleet and couldn't speak for a moment.

"It turned out to be the Minister of Works in person." Shangguan Yi got off the ship and spoke.

"You have been suffering these days." Yan Liben stepped forward and greeted him.

"It's bitter, it's really bitter." Shangguan Yi looked slutty and lost a lot of weight. "Fortunately, he completed this errand, but he was satisfied to be able to return with a full load."

"This is a letter sent by Gu Qing." Yan Liben handed the letter to Shangguan Yi, "I'll go check the goods."

Shangguan Yi looked at the contents of the letter and borrowed the Jiangdong waterway to send it to Luoshui and then into Chang'an. He could find His Highness the King of Wu in Jiangdong. Why did the King of Wu go to Jiangdong? Something happened in Chang'an?

After getting off the boat, Li Junxian took a good bath. During these days at the sea, he was covered in the smell of sea water. During his days in Japan, he was muddy and the climate was wet and cold.

After taking a shower, Li Junxian put on his clothes again and asked Wu Laoqi, "Where is Shangguan Yiren?"

"I'm talking to Shangshu Yan." Teacher Wu Laoqi replied, "It is said that we are going to go to Chang'an by water. The general wants to stay here to help build the sea boat again."

Li Junxian looked at Wu Laoqi for a long time and knew in his heart that this was a dishonest person and a scheming person who had been staring at him these days in Japan.

"You can stay." Li Junxian said, "But I will also send my people to stare at you, don't do anything else."

"I understand, little." Wu Laoqi nodded repeatedly.
