Chapter 712 The old friend
李承乾迟疑地站起身,对长孙无忌行了一礼.
"Your Majesty, remember that there has never been any destiny to be born." Changsun Wuji said again.
Li Chengqian left the Changsun family and had already dispersed. He walked into Chengtian Gate alone and walked to Yechi without realizing it. Looking at the stagnant water, the heart was peaceful. His father's painstaking efforts were to protect himself, and he had never had any destiny. Changsun Wuji's last sentence was repeated in his mind. Is it also the destiny that his father could sit in that position? Some were at their own fingers, and they had never had any destiny that he had. That was just the emperor's claim to him.
"Your Majesty, the queen made some snacks and put them in the Ganlu Hall." A palace maid came to Li Chengqian to report.
Li Chengqian nodded and stood up, "I asked someone to fill this truncated pond for me, and the water was smelly."
"Yes." The palace maid answered timidly and did not dare to disobey.

Gu Qing saw off the guests at home early in the morning, and the family returned to peace. Little Shizi kept circling around Gao Yang's newborn son, "Sister, is it painful to have a baby?"
"Yeah." Gao Yang said to Xiao Yizi, "It's just a kind of inheritance. You will understand it in the future if you don't understand it now."
"Is the inheritance of life right?" Xiao Yizi smiled charmingly.
Gao Yang nodded.
Gu Qing in the front yard listened to Fan Jian’s report. Changsun Wuji met Fang Xuanling. After returning to Chang'an, Changsun Wuji met Li Chengqian again.
"The head of the family, there is an old friend asking for a meeting." A servant from the family came back to report.
"That man said he was Mr. Gu's old friend, and his surname was Zhao from Guanlong."
"The surname Zhao is from Guanlong." Gu Qing smiled suddenly and understood who it was immediately. He walked out of the front yard and looked at the two of them nodded and looked at each other, "Second Master Zhao, it's been a long time since I saw you."
"Long time no see." Mr. Zhao also smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, Gu Qing, are now prime minister."
Gu Qing bowed to the editor and said, "Come in and talk?"
"good!"
The servant who followed Mr. Zhao bowed to Gu Qing, "I have seen the Prime Minister but I don't know if the Prime Minister still remembers it. When the Prime Minister sent troops to Guanlong, I persuaded the Prime Minister."
Gu Qing slapped his forehead and then remembered, "You are Jia Zhengjing. I remember you. You have said a lot of good things for your second son Zhao in Chang'an."
"Three years have passed since the Mangshan Mountain was gone in a blink of an eye." said Mr. Zhao, "I am still unknown. I didn't expect that the little Gu Hou was the prime minister who now covers the sky with one hand."
Gu Qing invited Mr. Zhao to sit down, "What have you been doing recently?"
"Let's go around and take a look." Mr. Zhao said again, "I also met Tang Xuanzang in Luoyang. When Tang Xuanzang talked about the prime minister, he also wanted to come to meet the prime minister."
"Is Tang Xuanzang okay?"
"It's pretty good." Mr. Zhao nodded.
"What are the plans for the future?"
"I thought about it a lot, but I rejected it myself." Mr. Zhao sighed, "I want to build some achievements, but my identity is probably not enough for me in the court. The sins of the Zhao family in Guanlong are not something that can be said in a few words."
"There is something that suits you." Gu Qing said sternly, "The Department of Marine Trade has just been established in the Central Government and is not under the Central Government's jurisdiction, but under the Central Government's supervision. You might as well try it."
"Is it the Sea Trade Department, which is now under the leadership of His Highness King Jin?" Mr. Zhao hesitated a little, "Is this appropriate?"
"You just want to find something to do, right now His Highness King Jin is short of people." Gu Qing changed his seat, "If you think about it, just say I introduced it. His Highness King Jin is now in the Maritime Trade Department."
"Sea Trade." Mr. Zhao was still hesitating.
"Now it's the time to hire people, and it's a good opportunity." Gu Qing looked at him.
"I understand, thank you for your advice and farewell," said Mr. Zhao.
"Go slowly."
After seeing off the second son of the Zhao family, Gu Qing hummed a little while in a happy mood. When he met the second son of the Zhao family in Guanlong, Zhao Rui had a good impression of himself. He was a cunning person and a person who could judge the situation.
Looking at Fan Jian on the side, Gu Qing said, "What do you think you can let Zhao Rui contact His Highness King Jin?"
Fan Jian thought for a long time, "The villain really doesn't understand the profound meaning of the head of the family's move."
"You're talking about your thoughts." Gu Qing said again.
"After the fall of the Guanlong clan, the old nobles of the Guanlong clan have now lived in seclusion and dared not emerge." Fan Jian said, "Why did Zhao Rui rely on His Highness King Jin at this time? Is it necessary for him? According to the saying that Zhao Rui's identity as His Highness King Jin is likely not to accept him."
"The direction of thinking is right, but I still think lightly."
"The villain is confused."
Gu Qing smiled and said nothing.
The Japanese monk has left the secret room. After many years, he can finally see the light of day again. He shaved his hair and beard again. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he was so old and was so skinny. How could he return to Japan and face his hometown that he hadn't seen for many years? Gu Qing, you are so cruel. This has been so many years. Looking at the powerlessness and grief in his heart surged in the bronze mirror, he sobbed silently for a long time.
To calm down, the Japanese monk said loudly with red eyes, "Come."
"What order?" The restaurant's guy walked into the guest room.
Except for the guests on weekdays, the entire restaurant is full of Gu Qing's eyes, from the shopkeepers to the servants who greet guests.
"I want to eat something." The Japanese monk said, "I want to eat meat!"
"Hold on."
In less than half an hour, the servant brought a lot of wine and meat, "use it slowly."
The Japanese monk was crying and ate hard, stuffing it into his mouth until he really couldn't eat it. He took a few more sips of wine and poured his head down to sleep.
When I woke up again, I picked up a piece of meat and bitten it. I couldn’t go back to Japan with this face. I want to get fat, and I want to return to Japan with a radiant look.
That afternoon, Li Zhi hurried over, "Gu Qing, what do you mean!"
"His second young master Zhao found His Highness King Jin?" Gu Qing calmed down.
Li Zhi nodded.
"Then is this person ready to use His Highness King Jin?" Gu Qing continued to ask.
"I haven't agreed yet. I originally thought of refusing, but he said it was your recommendation, so I hesitated."
Fan Jian listened carefully.
Gu Qing said to Li Zhi, "This Zhao Rui can be used, but it cannot be used more. He is a very cunning and thoughtful person. Your Highness King Jin will use it for now. He is a very useful stepping stone. For Your Highness King Jin, it is a value like him that can squeeze him out, and then throw him out to make a chess piece when necessary. Does Your Highness King Jin understand now?"
