Chapter 988 The Most Unchangeable
"The teacher will not think about doing useless things. It must be useful for the teacher to write these down." Li Xiang said.
"What a stubborn boy." Gu Qing touched Li Xiang's little forehead and said: "The length you are reading now is mainly about two social changes. There is a system called the cabinet system, which is also the prototype of the voting system. The power owned by the emperor can dominate the world, but the power is layered, from top to bottom, from the people to the heavens, and everyone speaks differently."
Li Xiang listened carefully to Gu Qing's words.
Before he knew it, it was time to eat. Wu Mei knocked on the door of the study and said, "It's time to eat, are you still talking?"
After coming back to his senses, Gu Qing said, "Eat first, I'll tell you next time."
"Okay." Li Xiang nodded vigorously.
After dinner, Gu Qing sat in his own courtyard, and Wu Mei sat beside him and said, "Is your bus going to be implemented tomorrow?"
"Yes, I finally got to ripen and land after several months of hard work." Gu Qing whispered.
"Do you feel that Li Xiang has become a little different recently?"
"Indeed." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Li Xiang is a royal family after all. Even if he lives in our Gu family, he will leave us and return to the palace in the future. It is not destined to be destined, but he just wants to go this path."
"You don't want him to be the emperor, do you think he can grow up carefree, just like King Jin and Little Shizi." Wu Mei said.
"I did think so at the beginning. In the future, I can give him a career that can be free of food and clothing, and make him like the King of Jin, but he is the crown prince. Now I just doubt whether some people want to let him go on this path. Li Shimin hopes that Li Xiang will be the emperor, so he will make arrangements for Li Xiang. Maybe that day Li Chengqian came to the village and saw me that it was arranged by Li Shimin. After more than ten years of coming to Chang'an, I can't see through Li Shimin anymore."
Gu Qing stretched his hand to the starry sky, "Just like no matter how I escaped, I couldn't escape Li Shimin's Five Fingers Mountain. My self-righteousness is just a drop in the bucket for Li Shimin. He never cared about it. What he really cared about was to control me and hold me in his palm."
Wu Mei could hear what Gu Qing meant. After all these years, she followed Gu Qing and thought it was indeed the case. It was okay since Gu Qing first gained his talent in Chang'an. However, after Gu Qing made a firearm in Liangzhou, Li Shimin began to tame Gu Qing with his actions, trying to train Gu Qing as a minister who surrendered to him. When Li Shimin locked Gu Qing in Dali Temple for more than half a year, maybe he did it to tame Gu Qing.
After that, all kinds of deeds occurred. Perhaps Li Shimin stopped temptations for fear of arousing Gu Qing's rebelliousness. He secretly investigated Gu Qing's life experience and also investigated Gu Qing's origin. He checked for several years, but there was no result in several years.
Gu Qing had many achievements in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin saw it. After taming Gu Qing, he began to try to master Gu Qing. For Li Shimin, the entire Chang'an was his chess game. The pond in his eyes was his entire world. Apart from the influence of the five surnames on Guanzhong, it was not said that Gu Qing was used by Li Shimin. But Gu Qing had to do what he thought in his heart and obeyed Gu Qing's actions.
The results of Gu Qing's victory in several battles outside the pass and the hearts of the people they have gained in the village made Li Shimin pay more and more attention to Gu Qing. The two days and two nights of Daming Palace were tense, and no one knew what Gu Qing and Li Shimin said. However, since that night, Gu Qing could no longer leave the Chang'an territory and would never do this life, and Li Shimin gave the Gu family a supreme glory.
Giving Gu Qing a status of more than ten thousand people and giving the Gu family the youngest duke of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Mei thought to herself and said, "I'm the Gu family for a hundred years. My family's glory was given by Li Shimin, but he also gave you a lifelong imprisonment."
"Yes." Gu Qing sighed and said, "There has never been a perfect thing in this world. Li Shimin never thought of letting me go. I don't do anything to do anything. I don't want to rebel. I don't want to make the reason for my life again. When I was only one step away from the highest position, I was moved, but I dare not take this step. There is always a bottom line in my heart that tells me that I can't do this. If I do this, I will never have friends or relatives in my life."
"I am already very satisfied now." Wu Mei whispered.
"He has calculated it for a long time. He has calculated what I thought clearly. I am afraid that if I stay in the court, I will really take that step. I will not be able to control myself. Just like I have fought with Changsun Wuji for so many years, I have never won any other person. Looking at the mess all over the ground, neither of me nor Changsun Wuji have fallen into the benefits. The winner has long been decided. Li Shimin is the referee between me and Changsun Wuji. He has the final say for whom he wants to win. He doesn't want anyone to win. Neither Changsun Wuji and I can win. This is the case in this era. Emperors often dominate the fate of many people."
"At least you have worked hard and struggled. You can't change the majority, you can't change this era." Wu Mei looked at Gu Qing and said, "Although our generation is not good, there are still juniors, there are so many students in the academy. I have never really seen the utopia in your heart, but I can imagine how beautiful the era you mentioned will be."
The next day, Gu Qing slept until noon. Fan Jian walked closer and said, "Head of the family, there is news that something happened to the Xie family in Jiangnan."
"What happened?" Gu Qing said while eating.
"The Xie family is in turmoil. The eldest son of the Xie family killed the second son of the Xie family. The entire Xie family is already in chaos. Before the officials in the court reach Jiangnan, it seems that they are about to lose their own way."
"This is not good news. If the Xie family eliminates dissidents, it will not be a good thing for us to be peaceful." Gu Qing put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said to Fan Jian: "Is the body of the Xie family's children who were intercepted and killed at the time still there?"
"Dali Temple has been buried." Fan Jian whispered.
Gu Qing stood up and washed his face and ordered Fan Jian, "Let me find a few guys with neat hands and feet, dig out the body for me, and send it to the gate of the Xie family in Jiangnan. He said that it was me, Gu Qing, who let their souls return to their hometown and let them rest in peace."
Listening to Gu Qing's home, Fan Jian smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I understand."
"We want to let the people of the Xie family in Jiangnan know that I, Gu Qing, have been watching them. The Xie family killed their own children, and their bodies were not cold. The mastermind behind the instructions did not find this matter, but it was not over."
