After exhausting all his strength, Gu Qing finally made a complete slap that will go down in history forever. Seeing Concubine Yang cover her mouth and her eyes light up, like a girl who is about to scream after seeing her idol that she has admired for a long time, Gu Qing

You know, your flattery was successful.

"The fish falls before the wild goose" and "the moon shys away from the flowers", these are probably the only two words that have been used most wonderfully to praise women throughout the ages.

Especially as one of the fourth parties involved, Concubine Yang was so photographed that she almost suffered from diabetes.

Women still want to be more direct when receiving compliments from others. An Lushan once danced Hu Xuan Dance with her for Li Longji, and used his bloated and ridiculous ugly posture to win her favor. Li Bai once described it as "the clouds are like the clothes and the flowers are like the face."

She is beautiful, but all these flattery cannot make Yang Guifei happy.

Gu Qing was very direct. He directly compared her with the three famous beauties in history, and uniquely created four words to describe the four beauties. Among them, Yang Guifei was described as a "shy flower", and all the flowers were ashamed to be with her.

Bimei is simple, crude and effective. Just like scratching an itch, it hits the most itchy place, and Concubine Yang feels so happy instantly.

So Yang Guifei became more and more pleased with Gu Qing.

What an exquisite young man, he is knowledgeable and talented, and he speaks very sincerely. The words he just said must have come from the bottom of his heart.

"Prepare the royal meal and give it to the Jiedushi Envoy to eat with Gu Qing." Concubine Yang ordered to the palace attendants next to her.

Originally, today was just to meet Gu Qing. After all, the poem "It's hard to give up on natural beauty" was very popular with Concubine Yang. But she didn't expect that after meeting Gu Qing in person, he would be more popular with her than the poem.

Overjoyed, Concubine Yang made an exception and rewarded the royal meal.

Xianyu Zhongtong burst into tears and thanked him, and Gu Qing also thanked him.

The dining place was in the main hall of the palace. Concubine Yang sat at the top of the table alone, while Xianyu Zhongtong and Gu Qing each took their seats.

Nowadays, the rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty have separate meals. Each person has a low-legged table. The palace servants serve the meal. Gu Qing looks at it carefully. The imperial meal is relatively light, with meat and vegetables, but the taste does not seem to be the same.

It's not very good, but the shape is quite exquisite. In my previous life, if I ate in a five-star hotel, a big cabbage would be ridiculously expensive as long as it was beautifully presented.

The imperial meal in front of me almost has this meaning.

Gu Qing did not dare to hold out his chopsticks, but quietly observed Xian Yu Zhongtong's movements, imitating every move he made. Concubine Yang raised her glass first, and Xian Yu Zhongtong hurriedly held the cup in both hands in return. Gu Qing followed suit, and then Concubine Yang raised her silver chopsticks and took a mouthful of food.

After a while, it was the signal to start the meal, and the atmosphere of the guest and host eating together gradually became harmonious.

Today, Concubine Yang paid a lot of attention to Gu Qing. During the meal, she often asked about Gu Qing's situation, whether her parents were married, etc. Gu Qing answered them one by one.

Halfway through the banquet, Concubine Yang suddenly said: "Gu Qing, would you like to go to Chang'an with me? With your talent, I can ask your majesty to make you a member of the imperial edict, just like Li Taibai back then. Li Taibai had an arrogant temperament and was arrogant because of his talent.

, so I resigned and left. Although you are young, you are much calmer than Li Taibai."

Both Gu Qing and Xian Yu Zhongtong were stunned. Xian Yu Zhongtong hurriedly winked at Gu Qing. Gu Qing didn't know whether his wink was to make him agree or refuse.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Qing stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your love, my lady. The common people are just country folk with a vulgar temperament and cannot get into the elegant halls. The common people are really afraid of the imperial edicts."

Concubine Yang sighed in disappointment.

Gu Qing was also a little disappointed. In fact, he was not unwilling to go to Chang'an, but the official position given to him by Concubine Yang was really unacceptable.

The official "Hanlin Waiting for Imperial Orders" is also called "Hanlin Serves". As the name suggests, he is waiting for the emperor's imperial edict in the Imperial Academy. His job is actually to draft the imperial edict. His part-time job is to write poems and rhymes to make the emperor and his concubines happy.

Li Bai once served as this official, but he didn't have much technical content.

There is only one prerequisite for being an official, and that is that the handwriting must be beautiful.

And Gu Qing's words...

Gu Qing believed that if his handwriting was revealed, Emperor Li Longji would be moved to tears. If he dared to promulgate the edict drafted by Gu Qing to the entire Tang Dynasty, it would be a national humiliation for the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years.

If ordinary people have never seen the scene of vomiting after just one word, Song Gensheng has more say.

Concubine Yang didn't understand. She thought that people who wrote poems well must also write beautiful handwriting. She didn't know that Gu Qing was just a porter.

"The empress fell in love with the wrong person, and the common people were frightened. If the common people stayed in Shuzhou, they would also serve the empress and concentrate on firing tribute porcelain for the empress. In the future, the porcelain produced by the kiln will definitely become more and more exquisite. The products produced in the empress' hometown will definitely make the empress famous in Chang'an.

With light, the grassroots people will definitely live up to the expectations of the people in their hometown."

After saying these words, Concubine Yang turned her resentment into joy and a smile appeared on her lips.

Gu Qing took a breath and lowered his head to look at the meal in front of him.

Every frown and every smile is a stunning beauty in the world, and she is worthy of being one of the four beauties.

Gu Qing's eyes were stunned. He thought of Yang Guifei's ending. It's no wonder that a beauty has a bad fate. Those who serve others with sex are rarely sincere after all.

…………

After the royal meal, Xianyu Zhongtong and Gu Qing said goodbye to Concubine Yang.

After walking out of the palace, Gu Qing let out a long sigh of relief.

Meeting Yang Guifei today is a great reward. It seems that I have won a good impression of Yang Guifei, flattered her well, and saved myself decades of struggle in life.

After leaving the palace, Gu Qing thanked Xianyu Zhongtong again.

Xianyu Zhongtong said a few nonsense words with a smile, and Gu Qing replied a few nonsense words. When the two were about to say goodbye, Gu Qing sensitively noticed that Xianyu Zhongtong had a worried look on his face, and couldn't help but stop and ask: "Uncle Xianyu is worried?"

Xianyu Zhongtong sighed and shook his head.

Gu Qing immediately remembered something and said, "I wonder what happened to the rebellion in Nanzhao?"

Xianyu Zhongtong smiled bitterly and said: "Luo Feng, the leader of the Nanzhao Kingdom, has raised troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. The military report was sent to Shuzhou yesterday. The Nanzhao rebels have captured Xiaoyi Prefecture. A war is probably inevitable."

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "Rebelling against the Tang Dynasty without any reason? Uncle Xianyu, this can't be justified, right?"

Xianyu Zhongtong took a deep look at him and said: "My nephew's advice when he was in Shiqiao Village was right. I later sent someone to investigate. Last year, the governor of Yunnan, Zhang Qiantuo, demanded a huge bribe from the leader of Nanzhao.

If he refused, Zhang Qiantuo insulted the ruler of Nanzhao many times and even insulted his wife."

Gu Qing said coldly: "If you fail to ask for a bribe and openly humiliate your wife, Zhang Qiantuo is extremely rotten."

Xianyu Zhongtong continued: "The insult to his wife aroused the public indignation of Nanzhao. Geluofeng was the leader of a country, how could he suffer such a great humiliation? So he united the various departments of Nanzhao and gathered soldiers. The various departments of Nanzhao had been defeated by Zhang Qiantuo

After years of humiliation, Geluofeng ascended to the top and called out, and the responders gathered and raised troops to respond. Zhang Qiantuo saw that the matter was getting serious. In panic, the evildoers first complained and reported to Chang'an Pegasus that Nanzhao had rebelled. Yesterday, I received the military report

When the time comes, the Nanzhao rebels have captured Xiaoyi Prefecture and are about to march to Yao Prefecture..."

Turning around and looking at Concubine Yang's palace, Xian Yu Zhongtong wondered: "The war in Jiannan Road is about to break out, but the concubine seems to have no intention of returning to Chang'an. If Luan Jia is frightened by the war, I can't chop off a hundred heads..."

"

Gu Qing sighed: "Uncle Xianyu, if the imperial court sends your uncle to fight in this battle, he must be cautious. If the battle is defeated, I am afraid that you, the governor, will be impeached by the courtiers in a short time. I am afraid that the imperial concubine's brother will not be able to protect you."

"

Xianyu Zhongtong was stunned. Gu Qing's words touched his heart. He had been worried about this matter in recent days. When he got the news of Nanzhao's rebellion in Shiqiao Village, Xianyu Zhongtong still had some luck.

, thinking that after sending someone to communicate with the leader of Nanzhao, he might stop rebelling.

Now that the Nanzhao Kingdom has raised troops to capture Xiaoyi Prefecture, Xianyu Zhongtong's luck has finally been completely shattered. At the same time, he is increasingly worried about his official position. The greater the official, the greater the responsibility. Jiannan Dao Jiedu

The envoy is not only responsible for the official affairs of Jiannan Road, the Jiedushi is also the highest civil and military officer. Once a war breaks out, the Jiedushi has the unshirkable responsibility of leading troops to quell the rebellion. Even civilian officials must wear armor and go into battle.

Xianyu Zhongtong was a scholar. He could do fine writing and flattering, but he was really bad at leading troops and wearing armor.

"Is what my nephew said last time in Shiqiao Village feasible?" Xianyu Zhongtong finally remembered Gu Qing's original advice. At that time, Gu Qing's words were very straightforward, which made Xianyu Zhongtong feel quite uncomfortable. But once it was shattered,

His luck mentality, Xianyu Zhongtong recalled Gu Qing's words again, and suddenly felt that it made some sense.

Gu Qing sighed: "Uncle, please don't blame my nephew for speaking harshly. From my perspective, if my uncle personally directs this battle, the outcome will be greater than the victory. Unless my uncle can immediately report to the court and send another good general Jiannan."

I am in command, and my uncle is in the rear and is responsible for the food, grass and baggage, so maybe he can do something special."

Xianyu Zhongtong smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know the general of the DPRK, who should I send?"

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "My nephew heard that there was a general in the Tang Dynasty who is now the deputy governor of the Anxi Protectorate. This man is good at fighting and has great military achievements. This year he led his troops to attack the Shi Kingdom and won a great victory. He captured

We captured the king and several princes and escorted them to Chang'an to offer prisoners..."

Xianyu Zhongtong's eyes flashed: "Is the person my nephew is talking about Gao Xianzhi?"

Gu Qing nodded: "Gao Xianzhi is now stationing troops at the Anxi Protectorate with the power of victory. The war in the Western Region has been decided. Why don't you go up to the emperor and temporarily borrow Gao Xianzhi to come to Jiannan Road to help your uncle put down the rebellion in Nanzhao?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong said: "On temporary borrowing..."

Gu Qing saw his hesitation and said with a smile: "Gao Xianzhi is a famous general in the world. Your Majesty needs to use him to guard the countries in the Western Region. He will inevitably be transferred after pacifying Nanzhao. My uncle's position as the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road is still as stable as Mount Tai."

"

Xianyu Zhongtong nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Gu Qing doubtfully: "You are a farm boy who never leaves home, how do you know so much? Even Gao Xianzhi has heard about it. Is there really anyone in the world who knows this from birth?"

Gu Qing said seriously: "Shiqiao Village is at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. There are many Taoist priests on the mountain. My nephew heard about it from an old Taoist priest."

Xianyu Zhongtong was shocked and said: "Which old Taoist priest actually has such magical powers?"
