After the accident, Gu Qing never thought about disturbing others. However, the two old friends and elders still took the initiative to help, and even gained their face and favor.

In the evening, the streets of Chang'an were still busy with traffic. In the early Tang Dynasty, a curfew was implemented in Chang'an. In the evening, the gates of the 108th square in the city were closed. This was mainly because the Li family had just ascended the throne at that time, and the country was not stable, so they were eager to rebel.

There were too many people who changed the palace. In the later period of Emperor Gaozong, the state gradually stabilized, and Chang'an slowly lifted the curfew.

After the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Chang'an had become the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty. Every night, the Chang'an City's Zhangtai Liuguan and the canteens and restaurants in the streets and alleys became places where people lingered, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from the songs, dances, music and performances of the powerful people.

, and in some unknown corner, a drunken poet roared at the top of his lungs his new poem, which sounded a bit poor.

This large city with a population of over one million is full of vitality at all times.

The general of Zuowei is Guo Ziyi, who lives in Qinrenfang.

Interestingly, Guo Ziyi and An Lushan were actually neighbors. Both of their mansions were awarded by Li Longji. They conveniently shared their mansions together, with the two houses separated by a wall. Today, An Lushan is in Pinglu.

Leading the troops in training, An Lushan only went to Chang'an to congratulate the emperor at the end of the year, so the two neighbors did not have many opportunities to meet.

When night was about to fall, a simple carriage stopped in front of Guo Ziyi's house. Li Twelve Niang stepped out of the carriage. The maid tried to help her, but she gently pushed her away. Then Li Twelve Niang's eyes turned to An next to her.

Glancing at the door of Lushan Mansion, there was deep hatred in his eyes.

The old housekeeper of the Guo Mansion has been waiting at the door. Li Twelve Niang is a popular figure in Chang'an. No matter the powerful or the heroic, everyone admires her. Even though she is nearly thirty years old, she still has many fans in Chang'an.

Super star.

Seeing Li Twelve Niang get off the carriage, the old housekeeper of the Guo Mansion came forward to greet her, saluted, and invited her in with a smile.

"The general has been waiting for a long time. Mrs. Li is willing to come to the door of the Guo Mansion, and the Guo Mansion is full of glory." The old housekeeper smiled with wrinkles on his face.

Li Twelve nodded lightly. She was always so indifferent in front of outsiders. Only after you truly understand her as a person will you be dazzled by her character and superb sword dancing skills.

The butler deliberately walked faster, in order to keep up with Li Twelve Niang's pace, and said as he walked: "There is another guest in the general's front hall, who is also an old friend who has admired Niang Li for many years..."

Li Twelve Niang's steps slowed down a beat: "Who is it?"

Before the housekeeper had time to reply, the group of people had already arrived at the front hall of Guo Mansion, and Li Twelve Niang also saw clearly the guest sitting in the front hall.

The guests couldn't help but be startled when they saw her, and then laughed out loud. Li Twelve's face was covered with white gauze, and her expression could not be seen clearly, but her eyebrows and eyes also curved quietly.

After entering the hall, Li Twelve Niang first saluted an old man in his fifties who was sitting on the throne: "Twelve Niangs pay homage to General Guo."

Guo Ziyi is already at the age of knowing his destiny, but his spirit is still strong. His hair and beard are a little gray, but he is strong and eats as much as an ox every day. At this moment, Da Ma Jin Dao is sitting in the main seat, like a man sitting upright and giving orders.

The Generalissimo has the posture of a tiger perched on his back.

Seeing Li Twelve Niang salute, Guo Ziyi laughed and said: "Without any courtesy, I'm afraid I haven't seen you for more than five years, right? We are both in Chang'an City, so there are not many opportunities to meet. The last time I saw you, it was

On the Qianqiu Festival five years ago, when the emperor and his ministers congratulated each other, the emperor summoned you to perform a sword dance in the palace. Lady Li's heroic sword dance will never be forgotten in my life."

Li Twelve Niang responded with a smile, and then saluted Guo Ziyi's guest: "Twelve Niang pays homage to Zhang Siqing."

Zhang Jiuzhang also smiled and said: "Ms. Li's style is still the same, I haven't seen her for many years."

Li Twelve Niang suddenly said sadly: "My old friend has passed away, and my heart has no one to rely on. When I see my friends from the past, I feel so much that I have never seen him again."

Zhang Jiuzhang knew what she was talking about and sighed sadly, stroking his beard and saying nothing.

Guo Ziyi's eyes flashed, he stroked his well-groomed gray beard, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that Zhang Siqing and Madam Li came to visit me on the same day. Could it be that you are doing it for the same thing?"

Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Twelve Niang's eyes quickly made contact. The moment their eyes met, each understood the other's intention, and then both of them smiled at the same time.

Finally, the two of them saluted Guo Ziyi at the same time, and Zhang Jiuzhang said: "Ms. Li and I are both the sons of our old friends, and we are here to ask for a military order from General Guo."

Guo Ziyi's eyebrows remained unchanged, stroking his gray beard and said slowly: "If you are here to join the army for a secretary named Gu Qing of my family, Zuo Wei, it would be a coincidence. This afternoon, Zuo Wei Zuo

General Li Guangbi also asked me for a military order, saying that it was for the sake of my old friend's son, the boy named Gu Qing, who beat someone in Zuowei Mansion and was imprisoned. Li Guangbi begged me to judge justice and not to be killed.

In prison, you were also doing it for him, right?"

Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Twelve Niang were both stunned, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed.

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and sighed: "That child got into trouble, but he brought all of us old friends together. Is it God's will?"

Li Twelve's smile was not obvious, but she could tell she was smiling from her eyebrows. After smiling, she suddenly sighed sadly: "The city of Chang'an back then was more beautiful than it is now. I still remember that year when the couple and I were by the Wei River.

Sword dancing under the weeping willows, Li Guangbi lying on the ground drinking wine, Zhang Siqing, you are very drunk, lying on the ground with bare feet, still muttering poems, catkins flying in the sun, people and scenery, as beautiful as a painting

…”

Zhang Jiuzhang said sadly: "The old friend is gone, the beautiful scenery is difficult to restore, and the deceased is like this..."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Guo Ziyi said slowly: "If you two are here for the child named Gu Qing, I have issued a military order today and no one is allowed to harm him in prison. However, military law is ruthless, and Gu Qing beat him first.

, he will still be dealt with according to military law, and will probably be imprisoned for a few days. You two have been friends with me for many years, but I never talk about personal affairs when running the army, so it is impossible for me to order his release. I'm sorry."

Li Twelve Niang said happily: "General Guo's words are enough. The child will naturally be punished if he makes a mistake. Twelve Niang does not dare to ask the old general for favoritism."

…………

Three days after Gu Qing was imprisoned.

Xingqing Palace, Calyx Tower.

Gao Lishi leaned close to Li Longji's ear and was whispering something in a low voice.

"Last time, His Majesty ordered to investigate the details of Gu Qing, the official of Zuo Wei's family, who joined the army. The old slave has sent people to Shuzhou and they are still on the way, but there is something that Your Majesty may not know yet..."

"What's the matter?" Li Longji asked without much interest.

"This Gu Qing got into trouble as soon as he joined Zuowei's family. Now he has been imprisoned in Zuowei Prison for three days."

Li Longji was stunned and turned his head to look at Gao Lishi in astonishment.

Gao Lishi lowered his head.

"What trouble did he get into?"

"Your Majesty, on the first day he took up the job, Gu Qing promoted a minister named Lu Chengping. Lu Chengping is the eldest son of Lu Xuan, the imperial censor in the palace."

Li Longji frowned: "Hitting someone on the first day of employment. Gu Qing has such a bad temper. It seems that the People's Committee who becomes an official without passing the scientific examination is really a bit vulgar."

Gao Lishi would never object to anything Li Longji said, so he agreed with a smile.

After a while, Li Longji asked again: "Why did Gu Qing hit people?"

"Because Gu Qing is a fellow countryman of Concubine Taizhen, Concubine Taizhen was very happy. Therefore, the old slave inquired about it. It is not entirely Gu Qing's fault. It was Lu Chengping who hurt others with his bad words first. Gu Qing's temper is as Your Majesty said. It is indeed not good.

Okay, three punches will knock Lu Chengping unconscious..."

Li Longji laughed: "The fist is as hard as his temper."

Gao Lishi laughed in agreement with Li Longji.

"Don't bother me with such trivial matters. If you hit someone, you will naturally be punished. General Zuowei Guo Ziyi is very strict in running the army. He will handle it according to military law. If the young man falls a few times, he will understand that the world is dangerous." Li Longji said calmly.

typical.

Gao Lishi didn't dare to say anything more, so he only agreed.

Li Longji suddenly remembered something, his eyes flickered quickly, and he asked again: "If this matter is right or wrong, Lu Chengping should be the first to hurt others with his harsh words. Gu Qing will certainly be jailed and subject to military law if he makes a move, but what about Lu Chengping?"

?Isn’t it considered a mistake to use harsh words to hurt others?”

Gao Lishi paused, lowered his head and said: "Lu Chengping has not been subject to military law."

Li Longji's face suddenly turned cold.

When Gao Lishi saw Li Longji's gloomy expression, he suddenly fell silent.

"Lu Xuan, the father of Lu Chengping, heard that Li Xiang wanted to promote him to the position of censor Zhongcheng?"

"Yes, the court officials from the three provinces had a court meeting, but since there was no conclusion, they did not report it to Your Majesty."

Li Longji said expressionlessly: "In the eighth year of Tianbao's reign, Lu Xuan played a trick of hiding a prophecy book in his sleeve during the court meeting in the main hall of Xingqing, and overthrew Yang Shenjin. I thought he was a man who knew how to advance and retreat."

Gao Lishi was a little shocked. He didn't know why Li Longji suddenly mentioned the old case from Tianbao eight years ago. The sacred heart was unpredictable. Even if he had followed Li Longji for many years, it was difficult for him to understand Li Longji's thoughts, so he had to stay silent.

After Li Longji finished saying this, he stopped talking, waved his hand and said: "Send the concubine to come here, and then the musicians of the Liyuan of the Daming Palace. I will enjoy the "Neon Clothes and Feathered Clothes" with her."

This is when a eunuch outside the palace reported: "Your Majesty, General Li Guangbi of Zuowei Zuolang would like to see you."

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled meaningfully and said: "It's Zuo Wei's people again, haha, I'm really a little curious, please meet."

When Li Guangbi entered the palace, he held a jar of wine in both hands. Outside the palace gate, the eunuch tested the poison before allowing Li Guangbi to bring the wine into the palace.

After entering the palace, Li Guangbi first handed the wine jar to the eunuch on the side, and then bowed and saluted.

The first thing Li Longji noticed was the wine in the eunuch's hand, and he said with a smile: "I have never seen General Li Lang be so polite. He actually brought wine into the palace himself. Could it be that General Li felt that there was not enough wine in the palace?"

Is it fragrant?"

Li Guangbi panicked and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This wine was presented to Your Majesty by Gu Qing, the official of Zuo Wei's family, who was an official in the palace and joined the army."
