Zhang Jiuzhang can be regarded as an old fox in the court who has gone through ups and downs. The three brothers of the Zhang family are all officials, so the eldest brother Zhang Jiuling is even a wise prime minister who is famous in history. In terms of grasping people's hearts and their ability to intrigue, the three brothers are all good.

Therefore, when it comes to the issue of children's marriage, Zhang Jiuzhang, an old fox, knows very well that forcing some things will be counterproductive. However, if he pretends to be unintentional and guides and seduces, and fully arouses the curiosity of young people, the result may be

It’s different.

The stupid Zhang Huaijin didn't notice that Zhang Jiuzhang's expression had changed. She was still immersed in the excitement of "Second Brother is so awesome."

Zhang Jiuzhang took a sip of wine and said: "Huaijin, you know that Gu Qing had no father or mother since he was a child. He grew up in a small mountain village eating hundreds of meals. He had no guidance from his parents or elders, had never read books seriously, and had no idea.

Who taught him to be full of poetic talent? What’s even more rare is that this child is kind in nature after all, and he can distinguish between good and evil..."

Smiling at Zhang Huaijin, Zhang Jiuzhang said in a deep voice: "Actually, after I met Gu Qing in Chang'an, I have been a little worried. Gu Qing's parents are both kind and heroic heroes, but after all, Gu Qing has not been disciplined since he was a child. I am worried about his temperament.

He is gloomy and has no good intentions. After getting to know him, I wanted to see clearly what Gu Qing's temperament was. If he was an evil-minded person, then I would give him a large sum of money. If he was in trouble, the Zhang family would also be willing to help him.

Help him, but the Zhang family will gradually alienate their relationship with him..."

Zhang Huaijin said anxiously: "Second brother is not a bad person!"

Zhang Jiuzhang chuckled: "Why are you anxious? I haven't finished speaking yet. The second thought is that if Gu Qing is kind-hearted but has mediocre abilities, the Zhang family can do their best to help him. Whether he is an official or a businessman, the Zhang family will always do their best.

By elevating him to the highest position within his ability, the Zhang and Gu families have been friends for generations, and they have lived up to the grace of the Gu family and his wife."

Zhang Huaijin pursed his lips and said: "Second brother is not mediocre in ability, he is very powerful...Second ancestor, you are too narrow-minded, and you still have to scheme against us even if we have a good friendship."

Zhang Jiuzhang laughed: "The Zhang family is a big family after all, with many children in the family. It is for the good of the Zhang family that I make more calculations."

"The third thought is that if Gu Qing is kind-hearted and has outstanding talents and abilities, then the Zhang family is willing to marry Gu Qing and become friends with Qin and Jin. No matter which girl from the Zhang family he likes, I am willing to make it happen. Of course, it is best if he likes her.

Huaijin, after all, you are the legitimate daughter of the royal family, your status is worthy of Gu Qing, and you have an explanation for your benefactor. It is a pity that you two are called second brother and third brother in a mess. A good marriage has been turned into a brotherhood. I am really angry about it.

ah!"

Zhang Huaijin smiled proudly and said: "Second brother said that brothers are brothers, and wives are like clothes. If I match my second brother, we will be brothers for life. Clothes can be changed, but siblings cannot. Second brother also said that being brothers has

There is no afterlife in this life.”

Zhang Jiuzhang's face turned dark. He didn't know why. He really wanted to hit someone, but he didn't know who to hit.

What kind of nonsense did Gu Qing instill in Huai Jin? Huai Jin wasn't alert enough, and now he looks even stupider.

Zhang Jiuzhang stroked his beard and said calmly: "Huai Jin, I want to ask you, do you appreciate Gu Qing's ability and talent?"

Zhang Huaijin nodded hurriedly: "Of course I appreciate it, my second brother is the best!"

"So, is Gu Qing a good person?"

"Of course it's okay. For the sake of justice, even the prime minister is not afraid. This is not afraid of power, and this is what a true man should be."

"How is Gu Qing treating you? Can he be considered gentle and gentle in everything he says and does when you get along?"

"Of course the second brother is good to me. Apart from being a little irritating when he talks, he has almost no shortcomings." Zhang Huaijin smiled so hard that his eyes turned into two crescent moons, and he looked very cute.

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed calmly: "It's a pity that such a young man can only treat himself like brothers. Do you really believe his nonsense about 'brothers are like siblings'?"

Zhang Huaijin was stunned: "What does the second ancestor mean? Isn't it wrong?"

Zhang Jiuzhang sneered: "Only a fool like you would believe what he said. Think about it for yourself. I and your ancestor are brothers. He was an official in Guangzhou and I was an official in Chang'an. I have rarely seen him in person for many years.

Who is the person who keeps me company all day long? It’s my old wife, your second grandmother. Oh, brothers are like siblings, but the siblings are thrown thousands of miles away. A wife is like clothes, and clothes are worn every day. It’s so simple.

Don’t you understand the truth?”

Zhang Huaijin was dumbfounded and his outlook was shaky: "Huh?"

I have an inexplicable heartache feeling that I was deceived by my second brother. Is this a big deal?

Zhang Jiuzhang sighed with regret: "If you really get along well with Gu Qing, or have a good impression of him, then cherish the time you spend with him now. If he gets married to another woman in the future, then spend every day with him."

By his side is his wife. Before a man is married or a woman is not married, it doesn’t matter how much fun he has with you. Once he gets married, you have to keep your distance from him. And for him, I don’t need to remind you that his wife

You will also ask him to keep a distance from you. Your brotherhood will be considered dead from the day he gets married."

After Zhang Jiuzhang finished speaking, he sighed sadly, and with a quick glance from the corner of his eye, he caught a flash of panic in Zhang Huaijin's eyes. The corner of Zhang Jiuzhang's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and he quickly returned to normal.

Seeing that Zhang Huaijin was stunned and speechless, Zhang Jiuzhang decided to strike again.

"Gu Qing, this child is really a rare treasure. In the past, the small mountain village in Shuzhou was just a dust. Once he came to Chang'an, he was already a sixth-rank official in less than a year. He was favored by the saint. His future prospects are limitless, especially

He is also full of talent. A random poem can attract Chang'an talented people to praise him. To be honest, I was far inferior to him at his age. I heard that many powerful officials are now asking about Gu Qing.

If all the dignitaries in Chang'an know that Gu Qing has not yet married, I am afraid that the matchmaker who comes to visit will break the threshold of his home..."

Zhang Huaijin raised his head and said weakly: "Second brother said that he... would never marry in this life. He said that he would never consider getting married until he meets the woman he likes."

Zhang Jiuzhang sneered: "Do you believe men's lies? What is a 'favorite woman'? Being obedient and sharing the joys and sorrows is what you want. Nowadays, women all practice feminine virtues and precepts. Which woman can't do this? I was caught on Chang'an Street.

There are a lot of them, just make a promise to whichever one you like."

Zhang Huaijin was immediately distraught. Zhang Jiuzhang's words shocked her deeply. She thought that her second brother, whom she had been with day and night, would no longer play with her after they got married. From then on, he would accompany his beloved wife and play with her, and they would gradually become distant from each other in the future.

As her third brother, Zhang Huaijin felt empty in his heart, as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

The wind suddenly picked up and ruffled a pool of spring water.

Zhang Huaijin is actually just a little girl, and she is not necessarily much more sensitive emotionally than the straight man Gu Qing. In fact, both of them are equally slow.

People with slow emotions are also very nervous. Zhang Jiuzhang talked for a long time, but Zhang Huaijin still looked disappointed, but did not show anything. Zhang Jiuzhang really wanted to hit someone.

So Zhang Jiuzhang decided to continue to make up for the damage, not to be too kind to his granddaughter, and let her experience the severe beatings from society as soon as possible in order to grow up.

Sighing with regret, Zhang Jiuzhang said slowly and calmly: "Since you and Gu Qing are not in love with each other, I have no choice but to give up and settle for the next best thing. The Gu family and my wife have done a great favor to my Zhang family. This is the only incense in the Gu family, so I have a responsibility."

Let it continue, I have to take care of Gu Qing's marriage. Then I will have a discussion with some dignitaries in the court. If any family has a girl to marry, they might as well arrange to meet Gu Qing..."

Zhang Huaijin suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his hair exploded like a cat in danger. He blurted out without thinking: "No!"

Zhang Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why not?"

Zhang Huaijin stammered: "Anyway, anyway... it just won't work! My second brother and I are brothers. If there is a girl waiting for a bride, let me take a look first. If I think it's suitable for my second brother, I can arrange for them to meet."

"

Zhang Jiuzhang sneered: "You are making trouble unreasonably. Gu Qing is not related to you, and you are not his elder. Who are you qualified to decide who is suitable for him?"

Zhang Huaijin's little face suddenly shrank into a ball, and he suddenly felt like he wanted to cry without tears.

Zhang Jiuzhang beat his granddaughter extremely hard, and said slowly: "As far as I know, there are two women who like Gu Qing now. One of them is Zhang Huaiyu, your sister, who is far away in Shiqiao Village, Shuzhou. She and Gu Qing know each other.

At the end of her life, Zhang Huaiyu still lives in that small mountain village, like a good wife waiting for her husband who has left home. She obviously has a deep love for Gu Qing, and Gu Qing seems to be very special to her."

Zhang Huaijin's heart became more and more confused. His hands twisted the corners of his clothes unconsciously, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Zhang Jiuzhang added: "Secondly, it is said that during the Double Ninth Festival this year, the prince held a banquet in Lishan Mountain. At the banquet, Princess Wanchun was very fond of Gu Qing. She asked Gu Qing several times when he was going to Turin Taoist Temple. The princess wanted to go with him.

This was witnessed by many courtiers present. There had been rumors in Chang'an City for a long time. It was said that Princess Wanchun had not married yet, and His Majesty had promised her that she would be free to choose a husband she pleased in the future. She was afraid that she had already fallen in love with Gu Qing...

…”

"One is affectionate and righteous, and has gone through hardships together, and the other is in a prominent position, with golden branches and jade leaves. Both women are better than you. Huaijin, I'm afraid you can't compare to them. It is indeed wise to match up with Gu Qing brothers. In the future, you will be good friends with Gu Qing.

Play, when he gets married, you won't have a brother anymore, go ahead, I won't care about you running around outside all day anymore, have fun, have fun."

After talking on the phone for a long time, Zhang Jiuzhang's mouth was dry. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He took a long breath. From the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Huaijin's expression of frustration and irritability, and Zhang Jiuzhang secretly smiled.

Those words just now were not in vain. It seems that Huai Jin’s feelings for Gu Qing have suddenly undergone a qualitative transformation. Haha, as the minister of Honglu Temple, I spend my whole day at war with those exotic hozens with red and green hair from foreign countries.

You can't fool a stupid girl like you in a war of words?

When he looked at Zhang Huaijin again, Zhang Jiuzhang suddenly realized that her eyes were full of tears, her expression was sad and lost, her mouth was flat for a long time, and finally she broke into a smile and burst into tears.

Zhang Jiuzhang was anxious. He might have used too much force just now, and the little girl couldn't resist it anymore.

"Oh, why are you crying when you are so good?" Zhang Jiuzhang wiped her tears distressedly, but the tears grew more and more.

Zhang Huaijin grinned and cried loudly: "Second ancestor, I, I'm afraid I won't survive! If my second brother marries a wife, I won't survive!"

…………

What is it like to plot against the prime minister?

Thanks for the invitation.

People are at home, and a lot of them are panicking.

Sense of accomplishment? Gu Qing had no sense of accomplishment, only a sense of panic. After all, this layout was a bit risky. If you think about it carefully, there are still many loopholes. But at that time, in order to prove himself to Li Twelve Niang, Gu Qing didn't care about many things.

After setting up this game, Gu Qing decisively turned his back and left everything to Li Guangbi and Yang Guozhong.

Even so, Gu Qing still felt that he might have been exposed. A small trick like the breaking of the dragon flag might be concealed from others for a while, but it could not be concealed for a lifetime, especially the slightly hasty forbidden martial arts performance that followed. With Li Linfu's sophisticated calculations, it should be possible

Guessed something.

But it doesn't matter. It's rare that this time, I didn't care about the pros and cons, my future or my life. I did something I wanted to do boldly and boldly. If there are any consequences, I will bear them.

While Ji Wen and other officials were beheaded, Li Linfu also handed over the power of Yushitai to Li Longji. Gu Qing stayed at home very low-key these days, reviewing the whole thing over and over again. Afterwards,

Reviewing is his habit, and he often gains a lot from summarizing the successes and failures in the review.

In addition to reviewing the case, Gu Qing was also calculating people's hearts and minds, calculating Li Linfu's people's hearts.

After the Zuowei corruption case, Li Linfu, as the mastermind behind the scenes, was inevitably involved in it. He was silently forced by Li Longji to hand over the power of Yushitai. At this time, Li Linfu was at the forefront, even if he guessed that Gu Qing was the one who planned the plot.

, even if he wants to take revenge on Gu Qing, it may not be appropriate at this time. Li Linfu will not let anyone else take the blame. Li Longji is now eyeing him. If he dares to take revenge immediately, his position as prime minister will be really in danger.
