Gu Qing was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that one of his unintentional questions could have such a big impact.

It is said that there are two major hatreds that cannot be resolved in the world, one is the hatred of killing one's father, and the other is the hatred of taking one's wife. Strictly speaking, these two people can be regarded as having the hatred of taking one's wife.

No wonder the two always looked like they were at odds with each other. In the end, they had to come together to cooperate for the benefit of the porcelain kiln. I don’t know how intense the psychological struggle they endured and how much disgust they endured.

The two shopkeepers got louder and louder as they quarreled, banging the table to express their strong desire to have a non-sexual relationship with each other's female elders, and the more they cursed, the worse they sounded.

Gu Qing was too lazy to break up the fight, so he sat on the futon and thought about his plans after arriving in Chang'an.

You must have a plan when doing things, whether you are in a barren mountain village or the most prosperous capital city of Chang'an in the world.

After thinking for a while, the situation between the two shopkeepers escalated and they started fighting.

Gu Qing sighed, silently stood up, left the yard and entered the house, leaving ample space for the two of them to duel.

…………

Liangzhou rested for three days and set off again.

Five days later, Gu Qing and his party finally arrived outside Chang'an City.

When Gu Qing only saw the outline of Chang'an City from a distance, he felt an air of simplicity and vicissitudes coming to his face. The towering city walls stood quietly on the banks of the Weishui River, silently telling each generation the joys and sorrows of the rise and fall of dynasties.

Gu Qing stood outside Chang'an City, and a sentence could not help but pop up in his mind, "The dead are like this."

Princes and generals will eventually pass away, and strong iron walls will eventually collapse. What can last forever in this world?

Gu Qing couldn't give himself an answer. This was a very secondary philosophical question.

A group of people entered the city from the Yanping Gate in the south. The team of three carriages was inconspicuous among the people entering Chang'an City. This is the most prosperous city in the world, with hundreds of thousands of people flowing every day. Outside the city gate,

The officers on duty didn't even look at Gu Qing, but the appearance of Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing made them a little suspicious, but they still let them into the city.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing fought for three hundred rounds in Liangzhou Inn, and both sides lost. The bruises and swelling on their faces was indeed suspicious.

After entering the city, Gu Qing and his party once again admired the prosperity of Chang'an City. There was an endless stream of traffic. The ordinary streets were about ten to twenty feet wide. The Suzaku Avenue on the meridian was even close to fifty feet. Such a wide avenue actually seemed a bit wide.

It was crowded with Hu merchants leading camels and common people carrying bamboo baskets, as well as Wuhou patrolling the streets, officials leading horses, children running around, and women quarreling...

Scenes of all human beings are displayed one by one in this wonderful picture.

Gu Qing walked with a slight smile on his lips.

He suddenly fell in love with this city. He liked its human atmosphere, the way it was stained with dust, and the graceful dance of its dancing shoes as light as lotus spinning on the dust.

This is a capital city that blends elegance and vulgarity, but does not feel out of place at all.

Poets chant in the hustle and bustle of the city, swordsmen get drunk in open-air wine shops, monks hold purple bowls and pass by beautiful girls, and a story is told when their eyes touch each other, and down-and-out literati hold muddy cheap wine cups and drink.

She was seventy percent drunk and begged in a low voice to exchange poems for wine money. The powerful lady in the luxurious carriage quietly opened the curtain and found a handsome strange man in the crowd. A white embroidered handkerchief was deliberately thrown at his feet. She was accompanied by the carriage.

The naughty chuckle faded away, and the man picked up the embroidered handkerchief and felt lost...

The greatness of Chang'an is not due to its strong walls, but its spirit and atmosphere.

It is a city that can accommodate everything. The ambition of the emperor, the desires of human nature, the iron pen of the literati, the rusty sword of the general, as well as the poems and paintings that seem to spread from the Jiutian Palace to the world, they are all contained in this magnificent city.

In the city.

Gu Qing and the two shopkeepers found an inn to stay at. Then Gu Qing took his official status notice and waist badge and inquired about the location of Chang'an Zuowei's residence. He walked along the street to Zhuque Avenue and came to Zuo Wei next to Zhuque Avenue.

Wei Qinfu.

Handing the notice to the soldiers at the door, they saw that Gu Qing was the secretary of Zuowei's family and joined the army. The soldiers saluted with their swords, and then a soldier led Gu Qing in from the side door, walked through the winding corridor, and came to a wing room.

Before that, the soldiers told him that this room was where Cang Cao joined the army and ran errands, and Cang Cao, the left guard, was in charge of the list of officers and soldiers.

Gu Qing quickly understood that it was commonly known as the freshman registration office, or the company's human resources department.

According to the rank of military attache, Gu Qing, the military attache who records affairs, is one level higher than the military attaché of Cangcao, but the registration procedures still need to be followed.

Cang Cao joined the army, a man in his thirties, surnamed Zhou. He was wearing a silk official uniform in the house on a hot day. It was so hot that he drank cold water. After Gu Qing handed in the notice, Cang Cao joined the army and looked at Gu Qing carefully, and then very

Gu Qing stood up and bowed with enthusiasm, his attitude was a bit too enthusiastic. Gu Qing responded carefully with the etiquette allowed by social etiquette, never giving him any illusion of masculine elegance.

After Zhou Cangcao chatted with Gu Qing for a while, he smiled and told Gu Qing that Xingqing Palace had already issued a decree. After Zuo Weilu joined the army and took office, he would immediately enter the palace to meet the king. His Majesty and the noble concubine would summon him.

Gu Qing suddenly realized, no wonder this Cang Cao was so enthusiastic about him, it turned out to be because of this.

There are many officials transferred to Chang'an from other places, but before they enter Chang'an, the emperor and concubines in the palace are waiting to summon him. This is not many, it can be said that it is unique. With this alone, Gu Qing is enough to win over others

of enthusiasm.

Gu Qing was surprised. He had met Yang Guifei once in Shuzhou. He did not expect that Yang Guifei had such a good impression of him and summoned him as soon as he entered Chang'an.

The Kuracao in front of him was barely an acquaintance, and he would still be a colleague in the same unit from now on. Gu Qing was happy to make friends with him, and after chatting, he asked him about the procedures for entering Gongmenjun.

Zhou Cangcao patted his chest and said that the matter was taken care of by him. Since there was already a decree, nothing was a problem. It was just a matter of going to the Ministry of Rites to report it.

Some local officials went to Chang'an to report on their duties and often had to wait for one or two months to meet the emperor. Some even waited for half a year without being summoned. Gu Qing was different. Those who had the will could jump in line or walk sideways.

Early the next morning, Gu Qing put on his official uniform for the first time. The blue official robe stood out outside the gate of Xingqing Palace, which looked particularly awkward.

According to the color level of official uniforms in the Tang Dynasty, officials who usually appear outside Xingqing Palace are wearing purple official uniforms, and at the end they are scarlet official uniforms. An official of the eighth rank like Gu Qing is not qualified to meet the emperor.

But... who tells people to have a will?

He handed his name and waist badge to the soldiers in front of the palace gate. After the soldiers checked, he asked Gu Qing to wait outside the palace gate. Soon a eunuch wearing a crimson official uniform came out and led Gu Qing into the palace gate with a whisk in his hand.

As the eunuch walked, he told Gu Qing in a shrill voice the etiquette of meeting the saints, where he should stand before entering the palace, how many steps he should walk into the palace after entering the palace, where to stop, what kind of salutes he should give to the emperor and his concubines, etc. It was complicated.
