"Who are you? Let go of Gu Xiao quickly. If you don't let me go, I will call you a guard." Li Linfu also said.

Gu Xiao winked them hard. This guy couldn't afford to provoke him. Yang Zhao nodded seriously when he received Gu Xiao's eyes, "Gu Xiao, don't worry! I'll call someone now."

You would have misunderstood. Gu Xiao suddenly wanted to cry. This teammate didn't seem to be very reliable.

Fang Chengxian came and immediately saluted Cheng Yaojin when he saw this, "I have met Duke Lu."

Duke... Then the children looked at me and I saw your calmness.

Being snatched in the air, Gu Xiao and Cheng Yaojin stared at each other in confrontation.

"I am also a Duke! Please let Grandpa Cheng let me go." Gu Xiao said stubbornly.

"I almost forgot." Cheng Yaojin smiled, "You kid is also a duke, the youngest duke in the Tang Dynasty, with a higher title than your father. How could I let you run away with such a rare person?"

What does this old guy mean? What's going on with his brain circuit?

Cheng Yaojin held Gu Xiao and spoke to Fang Chengxian, "Boy from the Fang family, take me to see your father."

"Okay." Fang Chengxian nodded, "Grandpa Cheng comes with the kid."

Li Linfu and Yang Zhao looked at each other. They knew who Gu Xiao was. They were the son of the current prime minister. However, they did not expect that Gu Xiao was the youngest duke of the dynasty. Yang Zhao felt more and more disappointed. His background determines the person he came into contact with. Gu Xiao had a very good background. He didn't even have to work hard or do anything to be a powerful person in the dynasty.

"I'm so envious." Yang Zhao whispered.

Zhang Jiuling patted Yang Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Don't be envious. Actually, I feel a little regretful. You may not know that Gu Qing, the current prime minister, made an agreement with the royal family, that the descendants of the Gu family will never be allowed to enter the court as officials. Even if Gu Xiao is a Duke, he can only be an idle Duke."

"The descendants of the Gu family are not allowed to enter the court?" Yang Zhao, who had just arrived in Chang'an, was puzzled, "Why is this happening?"

"Actually, these things are secrets, and I heard Fang Chengxian say it." Zhang Jiuling whispered, "That happened several years ago. At that time, we didn't know anything. At that time, there was another conflict between the Gu family and the royal family. Gu Qing was too dazzling and Gu Qing made too great contributions, so the royal family had to be afraid. In addition, the Gu family controlled most of the financial powers in the Central Plains. One person had power and not scary, and one person had money. What's scary is that one person had power and money and was very strategic."

"Gu Qing won several times when he issued a certificate, but he never lost his life. Moreover, this person managed the connections in Chang'an very well. Gu Qingru, the head of the Gu family, did not return for two days and two nights. At that time, something happened. The Gu family just said a few words, and most of the trade in Chang'an was paralyzed. This is the conflict between the Gu family and the royal family. The Gu family is very important to the Tang Dynasty. Without the Gu family, it is not good for the royal family. With Gu Qing, a giant, it is not good for the royal family. In order to achieve coexistence, the royal family agreed with the Gu family that the descendants of the Gu family could not enter the court again as officials."

"And Princess Gaoyang married Gu Qing, the head of the Gu family. There is another point here. The Gu family already had a eldest wife, and Gu Qing was unwilling to divorce her. Although the royal family did not want the royal woman to be young, she still compromised, but she did not break the window paper and did not even hold a wedding. The royal family was very alert to the Gu family."

"And I also heard about something. The head of the Gu family is now imprisoned in the village, which is the entire Chang'an area. Gu Qing cannot take a step." Zhang Jiuling said.

"The Gu family... is so powerful." Yang Zhao sighed, "Isn't that very dangerous? It seems that the Chang'an Gu family Li Tian Chi San mentioned outside is not a false statement."

Zhang Jiuling nodded slightly, "The Gu family is very close to the royal family. When the Zhenguan dynasty ended, Gu Qing had a huge power and held the world. His Majesty, who had the newly ascended throne, was undermined by the imperial power. At that time, as long as Gu Qing said a word, only Gu Qing had that idea. Maybe the dynasty has changed now."

Li Linfu also said, "I have heard of this, but Gu Qing did not do this, but gave up his power and established the three ministers to let the court operate on their own."

"This is also what I admire about Gu Qing." Zhang Jiuling said, "How many people in this world are so eager for power. Thirty years ago, when the world was in chaos, the eighteen rebelled against the kings, and who would not want to overthrow the Sui Dynasty! Who would not want to be above millions of people? When the Zhenguan dynasty ended, Gu Qing was only one step away from above millions of people, but Gu Qing did not do this. How many people could stop in the face of this temptation! Now Gu Qing retreated to his home and could distribute power to the three ministers in the court, giving up his power to enhance the status of his ministers in the court."

"If it were me, I wouldn't be like Gu Qing." Zhang Jiuling shook his head and said.

Li Linfu also sighed, "Maybe Gu Qing knows that if he wants to change the dynasty and the Central Plains, there will definitely be someone who refuses to agree, and there may be another military disaster. Maybe Gu Qing doesn't want to see the Central Plains suffer again."

Yang Zhao said, "I also feel that Gu Qing fought several times outside the pass. Whether it was the Turks or Goguryeo, it was not a corpse, and the sea of ​​corpses were killed, and blood flowed into a river. They all said that as long as the land of Yanmen Pass is the corpse that can be dug up from the war. Gu Qing is not kind to the foreign tribes, but to the Central Plains, Gu Qing is very good to every person in the Central Plains."

"A very complicated person is right?" Zhang Jiuling smiled, "If I have the chance, I also want to sit down and have a good chat with the character Gu Qing. He is a very interesting person."

"I want to do it too." Yang Zhao said, "It was just that when he went to Gu Xiao's home, he didn't see his father. I heard that his father would not come out and walk around often, but would have been living in seclusion for many years. Anything he wanted to do, as long as he called him, someone would do it."

Several children were talking together. They didn't dare to say it when Gu Xiao was there. Seeing that Cheng Yaojinti was walking into the academy not far away, seeing Gu Xiao asking for help from here, the few of them sighed and abandoned their pity and helpless eyes. They were Dukes, and they couldn't afford to offend them.

Cheng Yaojin brought Gu Xiao to Fang Chengxian's office with a swagger and threw Gu Xiao casually, "She, the boy from Fang Xuanling's family looks quite good now."

Fang Yizhi stood up and spoke to Cheng Yaojin, "Uncle Cheng, why are you here? Long time no see you, it's been a good time recently."
