Hypocrisy, full of harmony.

It's quite good. It took all the strength of both of them to maintain the superficial harmony, mainly to restrain their own strength. When the two faced each other, they actually wanted to pick up the incense burner and smash the other's dog head.

However, you still have to keep smiling.

The formal condolences came to an end. The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, hoping that the other would disappear immediately.

"Gu Qing is in good health and recovering from your injuries. I will wait for you to recover from your injuries and return to the court. The government is complicated and I have many mistakes. Gu Qing should share my worries." Li Heng stood up and said.

Gu Qing struggled to hold up half of his body and said weakly: "I would like to express my gratitude to Heaven. After I recover from my injury, I will do my best for Your Majesty."

Li Heng's mouth twitched.

Apart from anything else, the acting skill of pretending to be injured and dead was quite superb, and Li Heng almost believed it.

Seeing Li Heng getting up, Gu Qing struggled to sit up and gasped: "I... send your Majesty off."

Li Heng turned around to stop him and said softly: "Gu Qing is inconvenienced, so why bother to be polite? If the wound is opened, it will be troublesome. Lie down quickly, I feel very sad."

Gu Qing shook his head: "The etiquette cannot be discarded. The emperor condescended to visit this humble residence. How can I lie down on my sickbed? If word spread, I will be impeached by the imperial censor."

After saying that, Gu Qing actually lifted the quilt and just put his feet on the ground when he was suddenly startled.

After the scene, the action just now was too vigorous, the character collapsed instantly, and the whole episode collapsed.

So Gu Qing decided to make amends. Even though the whole episode was broken, he should improve his acting skills to some extent. Maybe Li Heng was a fool, but he still believed it.

After putting his feet on the ground, Gu Qing covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He held his chest in pain and died after exhausting his heart and blood. It was very touching.

Li Heng's cheek twitched violently several times.

He had already seen Gu Qing's vigorous performance just now.

Everyone performed well, why did you collapse at the end? How can I catch up?

Seeing Gu Qing's painful look, Li Heng sighed silently and decided to ignore Gu Qing's poor acting just now.

After a few words of comfort, Li Heng walked out of the room.

Outside the house, Li Mi, Li Fuguo and others were still waiting for him in the yard. Several generals of the Anxi Army stood straight on both sides of the door.

Li Heng walked up to a military general and said with a smile: "General, can you take off your mask so that I can see what you look like?"

The general silently took off his mask, revealing his dark, ordinary face.

Li Heng's eyes flashed and he said: "If I read correctly, you are General Chang Zhong, right?"

Chang Zhong bowed and said: "Yes, the last general is Chang Zhong."

"General Chang was the captain of Zuowei back then. When Gu Qing went to serve as deputy envoy to Anxi Jiedu, General Chang led his troops to escort him all the way. From then on, Gu Qing relied on you as his right-hand man and valued you very much. Now you are also the number one general under Gu Qing...

…”

A strange look flashed in Chang Zhong's eyes. This emperor had never seen him before, but he could accurately recognize him when he saw his appearance, and he could also describe his past deeds accurately.

The emperor is not simple either. He is obviously not a mediocre person.

"I'm ashamed of myself. Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Chang Zhong lowered his head and said.

Li Heng walked up to another general and asked him to take off his mask with a smile.

With just one glance, Li Heng recognized him again: "Is this General Shen Tian Shen?"

Shen Tian whispered: "Your Majesty has a keen eye, and the last general is indeed Shen Tian."

Li Heng smiled and said: "General Shen was originally the deputy general of Khotan Town in the Four Towns of Anxi. During the 12th year of Tianbao, the Tibetan bandits invaded the border and launched a sneak attack on Khotan Town. The Khotan defenders were defeated. General Shen gathered the remaining troops and marched north.

, came under Gu Qing's command, and from then on he fought for Gu Qing in all directions. The general was especially good at horse fighting, and the cavalry of the Anxi Army was famous all over the world. General Shen played an indispensable role."

Shen Tian bowed and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

Li Heng walked up to a particularly tall military general, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "You don't have to take off your mask to recognize me. You are Mo Dao General Li Siye from Mo Dao Camp, right?"

Li Siye's hoarse voice came out from his visor, "Exactly."

"The Three Thousand Modao Battalion of the Anxi Army is the elite among the elite. The battle at Hangu Pass made it famous all over the world. One man could not open the pass without ten thousand men. The rebels were frightened by it and the subjects were encouraged by it. To be honest, General Li, when he heard When the Three Thousand Modao Battalion defended Hangu Pass and defeated tens of thousands of rebels, I was ecstatic. On the night when the news of the victory came to Chang'an, I specially drank a few drinks for the soldiers of Modao Camp and paid homage from afar. The loyal and brave soldiers of Modao camp are unparalleled."

Li Siye bowed and said: "On behalf of the generals and soldiers, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your compliments."

Li Heng then stopped in front of each general. He did not need the generals to state their names. He could clearly name each person and kept their military exploits and deeds as a treasure.

Finally, Li Heng looked around at the generals and smiled happily: "The Tang Dynasty has fierce generals like you, so why worry about rebellion and unrest in the world. On behalf of the people of the world, I would like to thank all the generals. Thank you for risking your life for the Tang Dynasty. Thank you too." The soldiers fought hard for the country, their uniforms stained with blood."

All the generals bowed and said in unison: "General, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your praise."

Li Heng sighed again and said: "The rebellion of the Tang Dynasty has not been put down, and the subjects are still suffering in the flames of war. I hope that the generals will make new contributions to the country and completely put down the rebellion. Yesterday, I issued a decree to reward the generals. Now you are Your official position is either a military envoy or a deputy military envoy. If you continue to serve the country, it is not a matter of breaking the earth and becoming a country in the future. As long as you are loyal to me, why should I repay you with official titles and generous salaries?"

The generals were silent.

Li Heng smiled and said: "In the new dynasty of Zhide, there will be a new atmosphere. I am not a foolish king. You will know who I am after you have waited for a long time. Today's quick meeting can be regarded as a good relationship with you. Generals If you have free time, you may wish to come to Xingqing Palace to have a drink with me and talk about your ambitions. I will welcome you and treat you as a distinguished guest of the country."

After being sent off by the generals, Li Heng left the Gu family, got into the chariot and went back to the palace.

The generals stood at the door and looked at each other.

Li Siye grinned and said with a smile: "It's not like you are a fool. You can tell our names just by opening your mouth."

Chang Zhong sighed: "They all say that 'Jian is in the heart of the emperor' is so glorious, but I just heard cold sweat on my back. How much does this emperor care about us? He actually recognizes us perfectly."

Shen Tian said coldly: "He is very scheming and can speak. The fact that our names and deeds were told by him means that he has already ordered people to draw our faces, or deliberately asked about our faces. A Is it difficult to guess what the emperor’s intention is when he cares so much about the appearance of several generals he has never met?”

Chang Zhong smiled: "The last words were really meant to win over people's hearts. They talked about drinking and having fun, walking around to greet each other, and they were officials, titles, and generous salaries. If we were really greedy, we might have bowed down just now. Already."

Shen Tian glanced sideways at Li Siye and said, "You are the most stubborn and stupidest person in the Anxi Army. Don't let him win you over."

Li Siye said angrily: "You are stupid! Can't I tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy after living all these years?"

Shen Tian leisurely said: "That's not necessarily the case. In the eyes of a fool, everyone is a good person. If someone says a few words of kindness to oneself, they would like to make him a confidant."

Li Siye sneered and said: "You surnamed Shen, don't deceive me. This emperor talks in a roundabout way, and every word is playing tricks on his mind. Do you think I can't hear it? If we really work hard for him, within two years I will definitely be played to death by him, so it is better to follow my father-in-law. Although I often get scolded by my father-in-law, my father-in-law talks to us frankly and straightforwardly. It is fun to talk to my father-in-law."

Chang Zhong looked at Shen Tian and said in a deep voice: "My father-in-law has been staying behind closed doors these days. What should we do next?"

Shen Tian smiled and said: "Of course we are leading the troops to avenge the Lord. At this time, the Anxi Army should show off to those unsighted people in the court, and establish a strong authority to let them know that the Anxi Army is Not to be messed with."

Chang Zhong pondered for a moment and said: "Find a few courtiers who are hostile to the Anxi Army, blame them for the attack on the camp, and then drag them out and chop them?"

Shen Tian frowned and said, "Killing court officials would be a big deal...if we go too far, the Lord will kill us."

Chang Zhong said hesitantly: "How about we ask the father-in-law what he wants?"

Li Siye interjected at the side: "I think it's okay, I have to ask the father-in-law what he wants. Your idea is terrible. I can't believe you."

…………

Gu Qing was still lying on the bed humming, his body covered with cloth strips, and the blood stains on them were not cleaned up.

You have to be real when it comes to acting, and you just collapsed in front of Li Heng for a while. Gu Qing is still reflecting on himself until now.

The two doctors beside the bed saw that the play had finished and said goodbye to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing said lazily: "Keep your mouths shut when you go back. If I hear any bad news in Chang'an City and I don't bother to investigate it, it's because you talked so much that I will have to send you two to the underworld. The king of hell and the judge took the pulse and prescribed a prescription..."

The two doctors were so frightened that they hurriedly swore to the sky that they would never tell anyone about the true extent of Mr. Gu's injuries.

After the doctor left, Gu Qing continued to close his eyes and hum, as if his injuries were serious and difficult to recover, and his life was not going to be long.

A faint fragrance came, Huangfu Sisi stroked his forehead, his little hands felt a little cold.

"Okay, the emperor is gone, who else will the young master perform for?" Huangfu Sisi rolled her eyes at him angrily.

Gu Qing opened his eyes and smiled: "Acting requires dedication. Even if there is no audience, the performance must be completed meticulously."

Huangfu Sisi snorted: "I really don't know what you are planning. With my current confidence and strength, if you don't want to accept the emperor's imperial edict and just refuse it, the emperor will not dare to do anything to you, but you just want to You want to put on such a show, even though you and the Emperor are acting so enthusiastically against each other even though you know it's fake, what are you men thinking?"
