The silverbait bag is a kind of ornament given by the emperor. It is hung on the belt and has no practical use. It cannot defeat demons or help people overcome disasters, but it is a great honor. The silverbait bag is hung on the waist.

, others will know that you have a holy family, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor.

However, there are rules for the emperor to reward silverbait bags. Usually only courtiers of the fifth rank and above are eligible to wear silverbait bags. Gu Qing, who was only an eighth-rank official and joined the army, was actually rewarded with a silverbait bag. This was already an exception.

It is conceivable that after this news spreads, Gu Qing, a young and lonely young man who just came to Chang'an, will receive the attention of powerful officials from all walks of life.

A stooped old eunuch next to Li Longji came forward with a smile on his face. He was holding a tray with a silverbait bag lying on the tray. When he walked up to Gu Qing, the old eunuch smiled more and more kindly.

, said: "Gu Canjun, the emperor gave me a silver fish bag, how about I tie it on for you?"

Gu Qing's eyes narrowed and he quickly looked at the old eunuch. He just heard Li Longji call "General Gao". I am afraid that this person is the famous Gao Lishi. It is rare to have a good eunuch among eunuchs throughout the ages.

Seeing Gao Lishi step forward to tie a silver fish bag for him, Gu Qing hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Gao Aweng."

Gao Lishi smiled and said: "It's all due to His Majesty's grace."

After tying the silverbait bag, Gu Qing thanked Concubine Yang again. Li Longji turned to look at Concubine Yang and said with a smile: "Although this boy is young, he is quite humble. He does not have the arrogance of a young man. It is quite rare. Look at the honors of those in Chang'an City."

The children of your family are all extremely crazy, but Gu Qing is much better than them."

Concubine Yang said with a smile: "If San Lang likes him, he might as well summon him often so that he can be cultivated. Gu Qing is from Zuo Wei's family. Zuo Wei is in charge of the palace guards, so it is very convenient to enter the palace."

Li Longji nodded and said, "If Madam is worried about homesickness in the future, she can also call Gu Qing to talk to her to relieve her homesickness. This little fellow countryman of yours has not brought shame to your hometown."

Concubine Yang glanced at Gu Qing, with a hint of anger in her eyes, she covered her mouth and giggled: "Your Majesty, don't look at his honest look at the moment, his mouth is very pleasing to people. He praises people.

There is simply no one who can stop me. They compare me with ancient Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, and Diao Chan, saying that I am one of the four beauties, and even calling me a 'shameful flower'..."

Li Longji laughed loudly: "I heard about it, it's true and appropriate, my wife is a beauty, she is like 'the fish falls before the wild goose, the moon shys the flowers', she is so talented!"

Gu Qing said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry for you, Meng Lang. The first time I saw the empress in Shuzhou, I was shocked. I couldn't help but be secretly jealous. Which man can be lucky enough to become the empress' husband? It's such a great blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes, so I'm rude."

Then, I blurted out what was in my heart..."

This invisible flattery made Li Longji happy again. Men's psychology is like this. Being jealous of other men is nothing, but being jealous of other men because of their beautiful wife is the biggest compliment. Vanity

My heart instantly felt extremely satisfied.

Gu Qing also laughed, with ten thousand mythical beasts racing in his heart.

He found that the essence of entering the palace today was to flatter Mr. Flattery. The more flattering you are, the more benefits you will get. Today, after just a few words of flattery, he got a house in Chang'an and a bag of silver fish. From this point of view,

In a nutshell, a rich reserve of flattery knowledge equals wealth.

If this equation holds true, within half a year, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty will probably be named Gu.

After the monarch, ministers and guests had a great time, Gu Qing respectfully said goodbye and left the palace.

Concubine Yang also resigned to Li Longji and returned to the harem. In the empty hall, Li Longji's smile gradually turned cold.

"General Gao."

"The old slave is here."

Li Longji's eyebrows were half closed and he said calmly: "What do you think of this Gu Qing?"

Gao Lishi thought for a while and said: "He is calm, intelligent, and talented, but he is ruthless in his heart. Being ruthless will inevitably lead to disloyalty."

Li Longji nodded slowly: "Of all the princes in the court, how many are affectionate and how many are loyal to the emperor? It's just for fame and fortune. Those who are used by me and controlled by me are talents."

Gao Lishi was stunned, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Longji closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. Gao Lishi stood quietly aside. For a long time, Li Longji said calmly: "Go and check this Gu Qing. My wife likes this son very much, but I and my wife will not tolerate people with unclear origins around me."

White people.”

Gao Lishi bowed: "I obey the order."

…………

After walking out of Xingqing Palace, Gu Qing let out a long sigh of relief.

I am more nervous than when I went to a company for an interview in my previous life. After all, if I say the wrong thing during the interview, the company will most likely reject me. If I say the wrong thing in the interview, I can leave, but my head may be left behind.

On the way back to the inn, Li Longji's face kept popping up in Gu Qing's mind.

It can be seen that Li Longji's attitude towards his ministers is very friendly and friendly, and he deliberately creates a cheerful and open-minded personal image, which makes people can't help but get close to him. After getting along for a long time, they may unconsciously work hard for him.

This is the personal charm of emperors. Most of the emperors who have made achievements throughout the ages have this kind of friendly image.

However, Gu Qing is a person who is particularly sensitive to people's hearts. Gu Qing has a very keen and accurate intuition about whether a person is really smiling or fake smiling in front of him, whether he is really happy or fake happy.

After having a brief encounter with Li Longji in the palace just now, Gu Qing could only give him one comment: his acting skills were very good, but he was distracted.

However, no matter how careless the acting is, it will still work out after all.

A few words of flattery made me laugh out loud, and I was given a house and a bag of silver fish, as if I was really valued by the emperor. However, the emperor is not so easy to fool, especially an emperor who once created the prosperous Kaiyuan era.

Nowadays, the emperor is getting older and weaker, but his ability to play political games has not been lost.

Gu Qing knew very well that Li Longji's reward to him today was mostly a show of gratitude, and it was also to please Concubine Yang and help her gain face. As for how much Li Longji valued Gu Qing, it was a bit funny. The talents of the Tang Dynasty

After all, a young man built a sand table and said a few words when suppressing the rebellion. What does this mean?

If you want to become famous in Chang'an in the future, you must first maintain absolute sobriety. In the land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, those old foxes will chew you up to the bone if you are not careful.

Gu Qing walked on the streets of Chang'an City and secretly warned himself.

Back at the inn, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing came up to them and looked at Gu Qing expectantly. They knew last night that Gu Qing was going to meet you. The two shopkeepers were even more excited than Gu Qing and didn't sleep well all night.

After all, Gu Qing's status is directly related to their interests, and everyone is in a prosperous relationship.

Facing the expectant looks of the two, Gu Qing smiled, pulled off the silverbait bag from his waist and threw it towards them, saying, "Don't ask anything, it was just a reward from your majesty."

Hao Donglai held it in both hands, his eyes widened, and the fat on his face trembled with excitement: "Here, this is a silverbait bag. Only courtiers of the fifth rank and above are qualified to wear it!"

Shi Daxing looked ecstatic: "I never thought that Your Majesty would be so kind to the young master. With such a holy family, the young master's journey in Chang'an will be smooth sailing from now on!"

Gu Qing smiled and added leisurely: "Also, in a few days we won't have to stay in an inn. Your Majesty also gave me an official residence."

The two shopkeepers were stunned for a moment, and then they became more and more overjoyed. Hao Donglai said repeatedly: "Good sign! Good sign! It is indeed the right time for us to come to Chang'an with Shaolangjun. Your Majesty attaches great importance to Shaolangjun. I'm afraid it won't be long before we come to Chang'an."

He will be promoted, and he may be granted the title of marquis or prime minister in the future."

Shi Daxing also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the young man's career as an official is going smoothly, and we can also benefit from it. In the future, we will have a place among the merchants of Chang'an City."

Gu Qing looked at them curiously and said, "Have you reconciled? Weren't you beaten so hard the day before yesterday that your brains almost burst out?"

Hao Donglai's face straightened and he said: "Young Master, please don't taint us. Shi Daxing and I have always been good brothers in times of adversity. We are brothers and sisters. We are in the same boat in this life. How can we fight?"

Shi Daxing also said seriously: "Young master, you are joking. Fatty Hao and I are better than relatives. We have supported each other throughout our lives. We are brothers and sisters. This feeling touches the world and there can be no dispute."

Gu Qing sighed, the acting skills of these two guys are more than one level worse than Li Longji.

If there is a chance, I would like to take them to see how movie-star-level characters act.

The three of them were discussing the purchase of a shop in the inn room. As for the business, they would start with what they were sure about. The porcelain produced in Shiqiao Village was selected to be of a slightly lower grade than the tribute porcelain and shipped to Chang'an for sale. They would gain a foothold first and then seek development.

While they were discussing, a polite voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Can Mr. Gu Qing and Mr. Gu be in this room? The Minister of Honglu Temple is here to visit!"

The three people in the room were stunned. Gu Qing said in astonishment: "Honglu Temple...isn't it in charge of diplomacy? How does he know me? Does he think I am a foreigner?"

Full of questions, he opened the door. Standing outside the door was an old man in his fifties, with a dignified appearance, wearing regular clothes, stroking his beard and looking at Gu Qing with a smile.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "I am Gu Qing, I wonder if this elder..."

The elder smiled and said: "You are indeed a talented person. I, Zhang Jiuzhang and Gu Qing, the ministers of Honglu Temple, had a hard time finding you."

Seeing that Gu Qing was still stunned, Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said: "I am Zhang Jiuling's younger brother and Zhang Huaiyu's uncle."

Gu Qing suddenly understood and hurriedly greeted Zhang Jiuzhang again and respectfully invited Zhang Jiuzhang into the house.

The Minister of Honglu Temple was considered a high-ranking ministerial official. Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing had never seen such a high-ranking official in their lives. They immediately hurriedly saluted Zhang Jiuzhang and then went to get snacks and drinks in person.

Zhang Jiuzhang did not sit down when he entered the door. Instead, he stood up straight and suddenly bowed to Gu Qingchang.

Gu Qing was startled. He didn't know what was going on, so he subconsciously returned the salute. Zhang Jiuzhang held his arm with both hands and said in a deep voice: "You stand still and let me salute you. This salute is to thank Zhang Zunlingtang for risking his life to protect me."

A life-saving gift for every family."

So Gu Qing had to stand awkwardly while Rong Zhang Jiuzhang bowed respectfully.

After Zhang Jiuzhang saluted, he looked at Gu Qing, his eyes were red, and he smiled and sighed: "I have always known that Brother Gu and Sister Gu have a son who is still alive. I heard them reveal it before, and he should be in Jiannan Road. After the incident that year, the Zhang family was looking for you.
