It is inappropriate for men and women to get too close. Confucius said: "Only villains and women are difficult to raise. If they are close, they will not be inferior. If they are far away, they will be resentful."

If Gu Qing understands the meaning of this sentence, it means not to get too close to women. If it is too close, women will be very rude or inappropriate. Boys must protect themselves outside.

Gu Qing stretched out a finger to press Zhang Huaijin's forehead and slowly pushed her away with a proud attitude.

"I don't have to get so close to me."

Zhang Huaijin snorted and said, "Tell me quickly, what are you going to ask me?"

"What I want to ask is why the poem I wrote last night used the first eight sentences to specifically describe Aunt Li's sword dance posture? Why did the next few sentences suddenly turn the pen and feel the past? What kind of thoughts and feelings do the author express here? Finally, please recite the full text."

Zhang Huaijin was stunned: "Ah?"

"What, answer quickly."

Zhang Huaijin was stunned for a while, then furious: "You, you...you are not a human!"

"Hey, you can eat randomly, and you can't talk randomly. Why am I? Why are you not a human being?"

"You...you did it on purpose! The second ancestor asked me so hard that I couldn't stand it, so I sneaked out. You were even more excessive than him and asked me to recite..." Zhang Huaijin was so angry.

Gu Qing shook his head, this person is also a poor student.

So Gu Qing’s previous evaluation of her “stupid” is well deserved? Especially “stupid”, which may be a little more than “supid”.

Seeing Gu Qing's arrogant look, Zhang Huaijin said angrily: "So what if you write well? Why don't you compare your words with me? See who writes well and dare to compare them?"

Gu Qing turned his head and shouted out the door: "Come, see off the guests!"

Zhang Huaijin giggled, pushed him, and said, "Okay, let's not hurt each other, okay?"

"Okay, don't hurt each other anymore, otherwise you will break off your friendship and break off your robe."

Zhang Huaijin stared at his face and said, "But I really didn't expect you to be so talented. The poem you wrote last night was really wonderful. This morning I heard that you were the one who wrote that poem. I am very proud. The mansion told people everywhere that the person who wrote this poem was my second brother, and many people envied me very much."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "In the future, go to a restaurant to drink, and report my name to the checkout time to get a fracture."

"Second brother, you are really different from others. The second ancestor Weng talks to me every day, saying that women should not leave their homes, and they should not run around regardless of whether they are married or not. They will have a bad reputation. You don't seem to mind women showing up in public?"

Gu Qing laughed: "What do you mind about this? More than a thousand years later, women not only ran around, but also wore skirts that were too short. What's the point of showing up in public? Let's find out..."

Zhang Huaijin laughed and beat him up: "Lie to me again! You are a liar, and I will never believe you anymore. Last time you said that a man would lose his fortune after more than a thousand years of marriage. After I went back, I asked the second ancestor. The second ancestor said nonsense and said, "Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones and change them." I must learn to distinguish and not believe in nonsense."

Gu Qing shook his head, there was no way to fight, unless he summoned the divine thunder and slashed Zhang Jiuzhang to modern times, so that he could personally experience that everything was indifferent to the customs. With Zhang Jiuzhang's psychological ability, he might sniff his eyes.

"It is not a bad thing for women to see the world more often. They are locked up at home since they were born. When they grow up, they will learn "Women's Commandments". After getting married, they are still not allowed to go out. They go from one family to another for the rest of their lives. This is illegally imprisoned and must be jailed. In the future, your second ancestor will lock you up at home, so you can go to Dali Temple to sue him..." Gu Qing urged him with malicious intentions.

Zhang Huaijin laughed and beat him hard: "You are a bad person! Haha! When I get home, I will tell the second ancestor to you, he will chase you with a broom..."

She smiled too fiercely, Zhang Huaijin was a little panting, and sat softly beside Gu Qing, leaning her head unknowingly towards Gu Qing's shoulder.

How fast Gu Qing reacted, his eyes and hands were as fast as thunder, and he pushed her away with one hand.

"Talk well, don't get so close, there is not enough air."

Zhang Huaijin was pushed and stared at him angrily: "Are you still a brother? Why are you thousands of miles away from me?"

After blinking, Zhang Huaijin approached him, staring at his eyes without a moment, his eyes full of exploration.

"Are you afraid of women? Do you don't like being too close to women?"

"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

"Why did you push me away as soon as I approached you, and your expression was so uncomfortable? Are you shy?"

Gu Qing sneered: "I'm shy for you. For some reason, I suddenly felt that your second ancestor's words were very reasonable. Women should not leave their homes..."

Turning his head and shouting out the door: "Come, see off the guests!"

Zhang Huaijin laughed again and pushed him: "Don't miss it, second brother, brothers should talk about everything, right? I have never concealed anything from you. Tell me, why don't you like getting close to women so much?"

"I'm afraid that a woman will fall in love with me too close to me. My shoulders are thin and I can't bear so much responsibility."

"Bah! Shameless!" Zhang Huaijin spat and said unhappily: "You still won't tell the truth."

Gu Qing sighed: "Well, to be honest, I don't like to get close to women because I'm afraid of something happening, and I'm not ready yet..."

"What preparations do men and women need to make for marriage?"

"Preparation to spend a lifetime with a woman. I am used to loneliness and unwilling to change the status quo of loneliness. I eat alone and sleep alone. One day, there is one more person in my life. I have to eat and sleep with me. My living space has to be shared with her, which means that my space has to be compressed half and freed up for another person."

"If I don't like this person very much, to be honest, I don't want to do it, and I can't force it. I don't want to pay the price of changing the status quo of life to get a mixed relationship between true and false. This is a humiliation to my life. In the rest of my life, the regrets and regrets after every quarrel are like a slap, reminding me how worthless the effort I paid at the beginning."

The sudden heaviness made the air stagnate. Zhang Huaijin lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if asking questions or asking himself, murmured: "What should a woman in the world who can make you willing to pay this price?"

Gu Qing's eyes were a little lost and said slowly: "She doesn't need to make me obsessed, but she should make me feel peaceful. Every time she returns home, it's like returning to a fortress that cannot be shaken by the strong cavalry, making me feel completely safe. In the scope of this home, I don't have to be wary of anyone. I can share the deepest secrets with her with confidence, without any reservation. No matter how dark or sinful these secrets are, I can tell her calmly that she... should be merged with my soul. She is another me, and I am another her. If you lose one, you will not live alone."

Zhang Huaijin's expression gradually fell into distractedness and murmured: "Is there such a woman in the world? A woman who can completely fit you..."

"Maybe there, but I missed it, maybe it didn't appear, she will eventually appear, maybe it doesn't exist, I can be alone for a lifetime, after all, I have never expected it, so it doesn't matter to be disappointed. I have compromised too much about life, and I have gritted my teeth to bear how fate is unfair to me, but I don't want to compromise anymore on this."

Xingqing Palace, Huacaly Building.

Gu Qing's poems spread throughout Chang'an and inevitably spread into the palace.

Early in the morning, Gao Lishi took a piece of copied paper in front of Li Longji. Li Longji looked at it for a while and laughed: "What a poem! I like that there is another talent in the Tang Dynasty. "Watching Li Shier Niang's Sword Dance" is good! Last year, I saw Li Shier Niang dancing with swords. I also admired it very much at that time. I only felt that Li Shier Niang was strong and his sword was as fast as thunder. It was hard to describe his words. I didn't expect that Gu Qing would make Li Shier Niang's sword dance so appropriately and vividly, which was really wonderful."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this should be the contribution of Your Majesty's creation in the prosperous era. Only famous scholars and talents emerged in the peaceful and prosperous era. They were all born in response to the prosperity of the prosperous era. Those who created such great fortune will return for the eternal period, but Your Majesty is the only one who can."

This heavyweight flattery made Li Longji feel comfortable from the inside out, and pointed at Gao Lishi and laughed: "General Gao, you are getting more and more slick, who have you learned the bad habits?"

Gao Lishi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, every word that Lao Nu said is from the heart and there is no trace of adulteration."

Li Longji smiled and tilted his fingers to play the poem in his hand, saying, "It must have been learned from Gu Qing, right? The boy is not very old, has extraordinary talent, and has a perfect ability to please him. The poems he wrote for his wife, the lonely tribute porcelain he burned, and the "close the moon and shy flowers". Tsk! It is really amazing to flatter such a skill, and he is born to be an official."

Speaking of Gu Qing, Gao Lishi bowed and said softly: "Your Majesty asked the old slave to check Gu Qing, and Shuzhou has already replied..."

Li Longji raised his eyebrows: "Oh? So fast? Tell me, what kind of background is Gu Qing?"

"Gu Qing was abandoned by his parents since he was born in Shiqiao Village, Qingcheng County, Shuzhou. He was an orphan without parents. When his parents left him, they left some money for the villagers. The villagers were simple and used this money to raise Gu Qing, and there was a reason why his parents abandoned him..."

“What’s the reason?”

"Gu Qing's father is Gu Qiu, and his mother Cui Yuniang. Their ancestral homes are unknown and difficult to verify. They are all knights. They do so-called "chivalrous and righteous" things, but in fact they have many illegal acts. There are more than a dozen murder cases that can be investigated by the government and are related to the couple. Gu Qing was abandoned because the couple had many enemies outside, and they were afraid that their enemies would come to the door to harm their young son's life, so they cruelly left him in Shiqiao Village. The couple came to Chang'an in a high-profile manner to attract the attention of their enemies..."

Li Longji closed his eyes halfway and said slowly: "I have the heart to protect my calf."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Gu Qiu and Cui Yuniang came to Chang'an more than ten years ago. The old slave checked and found that the couple had a very good relationship. The powerful officials and civilians at that time seemed to cherish each other. The couple lived in Chang'an for only a few years, but they made many friends, many of them still have powerful and powerful people. Your Majesty, when Gu Qing made trouble and beat Roh Hyun's eldest son, Li Guangbi, the left guard general, brought wine to the palace to plead for Gu Qing. Did Your Majesty remember? Then Li Guangbi, also the friend of the Gu family and his wife back then, and the friendship is very good."

Li Longji's eyes opened, and he seemed to be becoming more and more interested in this topic.

"Oh? Who else?"

"There is also the Minister of the Honglu Temple Zhang Jiuzhang, who is also a friend of the Gu family and his wife. The relationship between the Zhang family and the Gu family is not as simple as a friend..." Gao Lishi looked at Li Longji's face and said carefully: "Ten years ago, Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling was robbed and killed by bandits on his way back to his hometown to sweep the grave. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers it?"

Li Longji nodded: "Remember, it seems that many guards and servants died in the Zhang family, but Zhang Jiuling's brothers and family members seemed to be unscathed. Later, after Zhang Jiuling returned to Chang'an, suing An Lushan, saying that An Lushan ordered the dead soldiers to kill him, and I rejected it at that time..."

Gao Lishi said: "The reason why the Zhang family was unharmed when the bandits robbed Zhang Jiuling that time was robbed and killed Zhang Jiuling was because the Gu family and his wife gathered many rangers to protect the Zhang family along the way, saving the lives of the Zhang family. The battle was quite tragic, and the Gu family also died in that battle. The Zhang family always felt that they owe the Gu family a lot, so as soon as Gu Qing came to Chang'an, Zhang Jiuzhang immediately recognized Gu Qing, and even intended to marry the Zhang family's legitimate daughter and Gu Qing as their wife..."

"There is also Gu Qing wrote a poem last night. The Li Shierniang in the poem also had a life-and-death relationship with the Gu family and his wife. Li Shierniang had a lot of entanglement with Gu Qiu, but there was no result back then. After Gu Qiu died, Li Shierniang has not married yet. Now he regards Gu Qing as his own child. After Gu Qing wrote a poem, it spread throughout Chang'an overnight. It was also what Li Shierniang did, deliberately making Gu Qing famous."

Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi and smiled and said, "How did you find out about these past events?"

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Gu family and his wife have made so many friends in Chang'an during the years, and every friend has had a true friendship with them. Over the years, there are still people in Chang'an City who are still thinking about commemorating the couple. I don't have to do anything to do, just ask for it and find out."

Li Longji said slowly: "The Gu family and his wife are just knights and often do illegal things. They can actually accumulate such connections in Chang'an. It's not ordinary. But Gu Qing was cheap. A child from a farmer came to Chang'an. He thought he had no relatives, but he knew that there were old friends everywhere. If he caused trouble, someone came out to protect him. It turned out to be the ancestors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade..."

Gao Lishi followed Li Longji for many years and saw what he meant, and smiled and said, "The rogues and others are unconventional and lawless, and act arrogantly, but they have the skills of killing. They often violate the ban with martial arts and escape thousands of miles away with one blow. The government has no choice but to die. Such a person dies, which is not worth cherishing."

Li Longji shook his head and said, "Zhang Jiuling sued An Lushan many times, and I also rejected it many times. For this matter, I had a very unhappy relationship with Zhang Jiuling. Later, I demoted him and never saw him again. But Zhang Jiuling encountered bandits on the road... General Gao, what do you think?"

Gao Lishi's heart thumped, looked at Li Longji's face without any grief and joy, and said in panic: "I am just a palace servant who serves His Majesty, so I dare not make random guesses."

Li Longji laughed and scolded: "You old dog, you talk too much on weekdays, but you really want to hide it when you talk. It's been over the years, so what's wrong with it."

Seeing that Li Longji seemed to be in a good mood at this time, Gao Lishi mustered up the courage and said carefully: "I found out that the Gu family and his wife were very skilled. They had competed with Pei Min, but they were only a little less than Pei Min's move. In addition, the couple also gathered many skilled rangers to protect the Zhang family. With such skills and such power, they actually fought with bandits so fiercely. I think...that group of bandits is probably not ordinary."

Li Longji closed his eyes halfway and said lightly: "Don't hide half of his words, it's okay to just say it."

"Yes, I thought that those bandits were definitely not ordinary bandits, and they did have their origins. Zhang Jiuling later sued An Lushan. Although the old slave could not confirm whether the bandits were sent by An Lushan, Zhang Jiuling was robbed and killed on the road, it was certain that someone secretly ordered them, and the person instructed them must have power and power."

Li Longji closed his eyes and said, "Assuming that the person instructed was indeed An Lushan, why did An Lushan send someone to kill Zhang Jiuling? Although Zhang Jiuling was demoted by me at that time, he was still the prime minister after all. How much hatred did he dare to rob the prime minister?"

Gao Lishi said carefully: "That year, Your Majesty seemed particularly favored to An Lushan, and Zhang Jiuling was demoted by Your Majesty to the Chief Secretary of the Jingzhou Governor's Office. In the eyes of others, Zhang Jiuling had completely lost his power. An Lushan was a military general in the border guards, so it seemed that it was not surprising that Zhang Jiuling had killed Zhang Jiuling... As for the reason for killing Zhang Jiuling, the old slave remembered that many years ago, An Lushan was only the governor of Pingluyingzhou. Because of his defeat in the Khitan, he was escorted to Chang'an for his crimes. Zhang Jiuling, who was still the prime minister at that time, tried his best to behead An Lushan. Later, after Your Majesty pardoned An Lushan, Zhang Jiuling also said to others, "Those who disrupt Youzhou must be Hu'. It seems that Zhang Jiuling thought that An Lushan had the intention to rebel..."

Li Longji's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and then frowned and said nothing.

Gao Lishi continued: "Being thought that the prime minister of the dynasty would rebel in the future, how could An Lushan not hold a grudge? It was considered to be a scheming person after enduring for many years."

Li Longji said slowly: "If this is the case, An Lushan does have a reason to kill Zhang Jiuling, and this matter makes sense. Then, is Zhang Jiuling's statement that An Lushan had an anti-intention, is this credible?"

Gao Lishi's heart was beating, and this sentence was difficult to answer. He knew very well that An Lushan's current position in Li Longji's mind. One, An Lushan is now the governor of two towns, holding tens of thousands of military power. Two, An Lushan is too good at being a human being and being too flattering. Every time he comes to Chang'an, he can always make Li Longji and Yang Guifei feel excited. Gradually, An Lushan occupies a greater and greater weight in Li Longji's heart.

Now Li Longji suddenly asked An Lushan if he had any intention of rebelling. How could Gao Lishi answer? He held more than 100,000 military power, and if he answered incorrectly, he would be deadly.

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty not to ask again. I really don't know if An Lushan will rebel." Gao Lishi said with a bitter face.
