No one knows what Gu Qing thought. He did not fight for what he should fight for at the meeting, but forced the emperor to agree to what he should not fight for.

Gu Qing's ideas are elusive, like the mouth of a pretentious woman, no one knows how unreasonable and logically confusing can emerge from that mouth, but have to listen carefully.

A small Jingzhao prefectural prefecture did not have to take this matter to the court, but Gu Qing insisted on implementing Song Gensheng's official position, and it didn't matter even if it made Li Heng unhappy.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army were rewarded and were about to be split and transferred. Gu Qing agreed happily, as if he was stupid, and he had no idea of ​​the deep meaning behind the reward order.

Should fight but not fight, Gu Qing is like an old monk sitting in a lotus and entering into meditation, without desire or demand.

After walking out of the palace gate, Han Jie and his personal guards were waiting outside, they hurriedly greeted him. Seeing that Gu Qing was safe and sound, Han Jie and his personal guards breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qing pointed at Han Jie and smiled and said, "Your look of waiting to carry the coffin and dance for me, which made me both moved and unhappy. I don't know how to express my mood at this moment..."

Han Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Master, now there are dangers inside and outside the palace. Master. Master went to the palace alone to discuss matters. The palace was full of Shuofang troops, so the last general had to worry."

"Don't worry, the emperor will not choose to break up with me in violent ways before the moment the picture is revealed."

Han Jie insisted: "Mr., although the last general is just a personal guard, the last general still has to advise him. Please find a way to let our Anxi Army enter the palace to take over the defense, even if there is only a small part. Otherwise, when the moment the Dagger is seen, the Duke will be alone in the palace and show no help, and it will be too late to regret it."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I have my own qualities. I am a son of a thousand gold. I can't sit in the hall. Without confidence, I will not put myself in danger. The greater the power and the higher the status, the more I am afraid of death. I still want to work hard to live until I am a hundred years old, and try my best to send you away before dying."

Han Jie was amused and crying: "Master, you can't be more serious when you talk about serious business?"

"Okay, seriously, some things can only be done slowly. Things are prioritized. I have to do important things first. The Anxi Army is not in a hurry to enter the palace. Chang'an City is in my control, so the defense of the palace can be postponed before deciding. The duck is already in the pot, and I am afraid that it will flap its wings and fly?"

Back in his own house in Chang'an City, Gu Qing saw Duan Wuji greeting him as soon as he entered the door.

Duan Wuji's expression was shocked and anxious. After seeing Gu Qing, he even forgot to salute and stomped his feet and said angrily: "Mr. Master, the student heard that at today's court meeting, you took the initiative to return the money and grain of the official warehouses of the southern states to the court?"

Gu Qing was stunned: "Is the news spread so quickly?"

Duan Wuji said angrily: "You haven't returned home yet, the news has spread throughout Chang'an City, and the students have just heard of it."

Gu Qing tskated and smiled maliciously: "The people in the palace are so gossipy. It seems that the emperor is not that beautiful, such as the concubines who serve the bed, what posture the emperor should do, how long it takes, how long it takes, what size, and what length of the emperor has, there is no privacy at all. If it is normal, it would be fine. If the spring water flows too fast, wouldn't it be...tsk!"

Duan Wuji was shocked. Why did the prince think of that aspect when he was so serious?

"Master!" Duan Wuji stomped his feet and said anxiously.

"Oh, what did you ask just now?"

"Why did the prince take the initiative to return the money and grain from the southern states to the court? That was the logistics supply of the Anxi Army!"

Gu Qing glanced at him and said, "That is the tax of the court. The use of the national treasury is taken from the people and used for the people. What does it have to do with the Anxi Army? Guanzhong is recovered and the court is back on track, so of course the official warehouse must be returned to the court."

Duan Wuji said anxiously: "If money and grain are controlled by the court, wouldn't the supply of grain and grass in the Anxi Army be relied on the court?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Wuji, you, the situation is too small. You only have the Anxi Army in your eyes, only fighting for power and domination. Have you ever thought about why we fight for power and domination?"

Duan Wuji was stunned, silent for a while, and said, "For the sake of justice in the world."

Gu Qing nodded: "Yes, the reason is high-sounding, but the more righteous the slogans are, the more disgusting it. We shout the so-called 'fairness and justice', but in fact we are doing things that divide the court and undermine the emperor. If what we do is as hypocritical as those who have rebeled throughout the ages, then what is the meaning of what we do?"

Duan Wuji lowered his head and said nothing, his expression was thoughtful.

Gu Qing said leisurely: "It is undeniable that I am a powerful minister who is deeply feared by the monarch and ministers in the court, but my original intention was not for power and interests. When I was silent, my ambition was to pave a smooth road for the world. I have never forgotten this ambition. Everything I do, whether it is justice or evil, is actually aimed at this ambition."

"The official warehouses of the southern states should be remitted to the national treasury, and the money and grain of the national treasury should be allocated to benefit the people. Now that the war has not yet been curbed, the people in Guanzhong and the northern treasury are still in deep suffering. It is when a large amount of money and grain are needed to restore their livelihood. If the Anxi Army still controls the official warehouse and grain and does not let go, where will the people in the world suffer from life and death? I have worked hard for these years and bear the bad reputation of powerful ministers and treacherous officials, why did it come from?"

Duan Wuji understood Gu Qing's meaning, pondered for a while, bowed to him, and said ashamed: "The student understands the hard work of the master, and the student is narrow-minded."

Gu Qing patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Wuji, look at people and things in the future. The pattern should be higher. Don't just think about fighting for power and dominance. Fighting for power and dominance is just a means. Think more about our goals and the sufferings of the people in the world. Here is the difference between revolution and rebellion."

Duan Wuji said inexplicably: "Revolution...revolution?"

"The meaning of revolution is to point to the powerful and powerful people who only care about their own interests and ignore the lives and death of the people in the world, saying, "You have lost your conscience and cannot govern the world, let me do it."

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

Duan Wuji understood, but he had new doubts.

"What if we take power after the revolution, but we are slowly corrupted, and like those former powerful people, gradually no longer care about the lives and deaths of the people?"

“Institutions, regulation, laws, and…swords.”

…………

Officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War were quickly counting the Anxi Army’s list of meritorious service.

The list of merit requests was submitted to Li Heng after all wars. Gu Qing sent someone to submit it to Li Heng. Requesting merit for the soldiers under his command is something that every head coach must do.

There are several thick books of the roster. After all the wars, some people died in battle, some were injured and disabled, and some were intact. Their contributions were big and small, from sacrificing their lives to dying with the enemy, to reversing the end of the entire war alone, there are clear records on the merit book.

For example, Sun Jiushi of the Sharp Shooting Camp made many contributions to the first appearance of Yingshui, Sun Jiushi's accurate shooting skills, including killing the enemy commander with one shot in the Wanma Army, and killing the generals and figures in the enemy array by name.

All these contributions are recorded in the merit book. As more and more wars occur, the Anxi Army's list of meritorious deeds has become thicker and thicker, which is a thick stack.

After the court meeting today, officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War were left in the palace by Li Heng. They recorded the merit books of the Anxi Army soldiers day and night, and then listed a long list of merits from high to low.

Two days later, this long list was presented to Li Heng. Li Heng looked at the list carefully and silently recorded each name.

"No, the list is wrong." Li Heng shook his head flatly.

In Huae Building, Li Mi and Du Hongjian stood on the left and right. Seeing Li Heng rejected it, Li Mi asked softly: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, how should the soldiers of the Anxi Army be rewarded?"

Li Heng pointed to the list and said, "I don't know how Gu Qing governed the army, but the list is very wrong. Look, the merits of generals and ordinary soldiers on the list are mixed together. Judging from the size of the merits, some ordinary soldiers' merits are even arranged above the generals. Li Qing, look at the top ten people in the merit list, eight of them are ordinary soldiers, and two are generals. Isn't this apart from the big and small? When will ordinary soldiers be above the generals start?"

Li Mi frowned in confusion and murmured: "It's indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking, no matter how great the contributions an ordinary soldier has made, it should not exceed the generals. Generals of all dynasties seek merit after the war, and those who are in front of them are generals, and ordinary soldiers should be at the end."

Li Heng snorted and said, "This list was presented by Gu Qing. In my opinion, this is clearly a false list of meritorious requests. Do you think you can deceive me if you are so unruly? It's ridiculous!"

Du Hongjian was not surprised. Seeing Li Heng's face unhappy, Du Hongjian hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with this list, at least Gu Qing did not play with the tricks."

Li Heng and Li Mi were both stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Du Hongjian continued: "Your Majesty, I have been stationed in the Anxi Army for a period of time under the order. During that period, I have been observing the Anxi Army. From their morale to how Gu Qing manages the army, I have all remembered it in my heart..."

Li Heng pointed to the list in his hand and said, "Du Qing means, is this list of rewards and merits right?"

"Yes, I have observed the Anxi Army these days and concluded that Gu Qing's military administration is indeed extraordinary, and there are many famous generals in the world, but Gu Qing's military administration has never heard of it."

"How did he manage the army?" Li Heng suddenly asked with interest.

Du Hongjian organized a wording and said slowly: "In my opinion, Gu Qingzhi's army only summed up in one sentence, 'Reward merits and punishments, fairness and justice'."

"The military training is supervised by the generals. On the battlefield, the orders must be obeyed, but when killing the enemy, there is no distinction between generals and soldiers. Whoever kills more enemies, whoever changes the situation of the war, whoever violates military discipline, after each war, the soldiers gather in the tent and discuss together, whoever makes meritorious service and whoever makes mistakes, clearly tell them in front of him, and finally decide the size of the merit or the error. After everyone has no objection, they report to the commander's account and hand it over to Gu Qing for disposal."

"When discussing the merits, there is no distinction between generals and soldiers in each battalion. Everyone discusses on an equal basis. If a soldier is dissatisfied, he can also appeal to a higher-level general. The higher-level general will convene his soldiers to discuss in person again, and finally, he will report it after deciding whether it is right or wrong."
