Chapter 154 Close the door and beat the dog
The powerful and powerful like banquets, all kinds of banquets. They must be held once during festivals and festivals, and there are many reasons for the rest, including the family, the elderly’s birthday, the owner’s promotion, etc. Some boring powerful and powerful people are too lazy to find excuses, just like calling someone out to drink beer and skewers more than a thousand years later, and there is no reason at all.
This is true for ordinary powerful families, but the prince of the Eastern Palace is different.
When I arrived at the Eastern Palace, every banquet and every gathering was purposeful. It was not impossible to find someone to drink when I was bored, but it was rare because there was an emperor's father staring at him and the eyes of countless court officials. A little indulging would make the impeachment memorial fly like snowflakes. The prince was already living in a trembling state and would not let others hold on to his own words so easily.
Since receiving the invitation from the prince, Gu Qing has been thinking about the purpose of the prince's invitation to the banquet.
A small chief of the Left Guard is not qualified to be invited by the prince, so the prince invited is not his identity, but his person.
Thinking of the recent news that Li Linfu and the prince are in trouble, Gu Qing probably has some enlightenment in his heart.
Li Linfu was suppressed by Li Longji twice, and the reasons arose because of Gu Qing. In addition, Gu Qing recently wrote a poem and was in prison again, which was very popular. The Chief of the Left Guard was not qualified to be invited by the prince, but Gu Qing is worthy of being invited by the prince.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing was a little nervous. Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, the prince, and the Chang'an court three forces were unknowingly involved.
He is still too young and does not know how to restrain his sharpness. But if he learns from those old foxes, Gu Qing cannot climb upwards. From the time he travels over, Gu Qing has a clear goal. He has to climb upwards. In this strange world, only by holding power can he feel safe.
The two shopkeepers' injuries were healed a little, and they insisted on going to the ground to work with patches on their bodies, but they couldn't stop them. Since Gu Qing robbed the prison and rescued the two, the two shopkeepers completely changed their attitude, bowed to Gu Qing and regarded Gu Qing as their life-saving benefactor. Perhaps in this world, they would not use their interests to measure their efforts and gains.
The second issue of gossip reports Gu Qing has already compiled, and the title is very exciting. The Zuo Guard Zuo Lang General Li Guangbi has made the front page headlines. Although the topic is not very glorious, his popularity will definitely be greatly improved. Gu Qing thought about it and was happy for Li Guangbi.
The first issue of the gossip report received a good response. Two thousand copies were printed and distributed quickly. This time, Gu Qing decided to print four thousand copies and still distribute them for free.
The Tang Dynasty had a prosperous business, but the business operation model that truly formed a theoretical one was almost blank. Gu Qing was a team leader in his previous life, and various business operation planning was his old career. In this regard, Gu Qing's cheating was too outrageous.
"The three free periods are distributed, but the persons of the distribution must be selected. They cannot be distributed to illiterate civilians. They have to read the dishes. Those who wear long blouses and snails and wander around in vain can be easily recognized at first glance. Only by sending gossip reports to them can they achieve the greatest effect..." Gu Qing reminded him one by one.
Hao Donglai was seriously injured and could only get out of bed and take a few steps. Gu Qing's words were mainly said to Shi Daxing.
"Also, pay attention to places like canteens, inns, open-air restaurants, where people gather, there are at least one or two people who like to talk big in public. Identify those people and report gossip to them. If they are illiterate, read the contents of the newspaper to them and ask them to drink some turbid wine. In the future, if they have to cooperate with them for a long time, don't treat them badly. The benefits that should be given must not be missed. In the future, if the gossip newspaper makes money, they can give them a little money every month. They are subordinate dealers and are the link to spread our reputation for gossip registration. It is very important."
"Second-level dealer..." Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai were confused and expressed confusion about Gu Qing's new term.
"If you don't explain, you will gradually understand... and the powerful people. There are many servants who come out to buy from the East City. You will know your identity by seeing your clothes and dress. You will also send the gossip newspaper to them, and slowly penetrate into the powerful and noble mansion. The contents of the newspaper are transmitted from the servants to the mansion. Slowly, the entire mansion will be known, and the master of the powerful will naturally know."
"Anyway, we are in the media industry. Does the 'media' understand? First of all, we need 'dissemination', and secondly, we need 'media'. The content of our gossip newspapers belongs to 'dissemination', and those who talk about the market, servants from the powerful mansions, etc. are 'media' that help us spread the content, both are indispensable."
The two shopkeepers looked a little nervous.
It's a new term, I don't understand at all! What should I do? Have we been eliminated by the times? Did the wheel of history ruthlessly crush us? Did the big waves wash away the sand and make us lose all the scum?
Seeing the two of them feeling nervous, Gu Qing couldn't help but comfort him softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can learn slowly. No one in the world understands what I said. Please be content with all the idiots in the world. You are definitely not at the bottom of the list of things that you gather together."
The two shopkeepers showed grief and anger. This is not called comfort. This cannot make us feel at all. This is a final blow, which is a worse injury...
Gu Qing didn't want to comfort him anymore. The pretentiousness of middle-aged people is a kind of midlife crisis. Even my father has never shouted. Why do you enjoy what kind of fatherly love is like a landslide?
"Anyway, no matter whether I understand what I say or not, I will do it meticulously. In no time, we will wait to make a lot of money."
…………
The second issue of the Eight Trigrams came in response to the appointment.
Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City were boiling again. This time the topic was quite exciting. The Zuo Guard Zuo Lang General Li Guangbi was so powerful outside. He was afraid of his wife as if he was like a tiger at home. He was beaten by his wife three times a day, plus a midnight snack. The title was even more sensational, "Shocked! Why did General Li Lang scream in the middle of the night?"
Yes, why are you screaming? I really want to know...
The content of the front page headlines fully aroused the appetite of Chang'an people, created enough suspense, and satisfied everyone's desire to peek at other people's privacy.
As expected, the gossip newspaper once again triggered the hot search list in Chang'an. The top spot was given to the Zuowei Zuolang General Li Guangbi without any suspense.
The market was booming and discussions were everywhere, and successfully brought up the rhythm. Gu Qing was very happy. This was the effect he wanted. His career seemed to have entered the rising period, and this was the rhythm he wanted to do.
The only thing I was a little worried is that I wonder what Li Guangbi would react to seeing him top the list, and help him hype and increase his popularity. He should... he wouldn't beat him? His parents' old friend was once so good. Gu Qingyi didn't ask him to do anything, and he didn't hold him to his thighs. Occasionally, he borrowed his name to create a little gimmick. I guess Uncle Li wouldn't blame him. At worst, he would give him a few jars of good wine to apologize afterwards.
In the morning, Gu Qing walked into the left guard and before he entered the door, he saw the sergeant on duty in front of him with a strange look in his eyes. Gu Qing greeted them with a smile, and the sergeant barely put on a smile and replied to the greeting.
After entering the Zuowei Mansion, I met countless colleagues along the way. Everyone's eyes became more and more strange, so strange that Gu Qing had a hunch of ominous premonition.
Gu Qing's sixth sense has always been very sensitive. After detecting the ominous signal sent by God, Gu Qing did not need to confirm it at all. He suddenly stood there, blinked, turned around and walked out of the gate of the Zuowei Mansion.
If everything is not suitable today, it is a day when the Mercury is in retrospect, and it is auspicious to avoid it.
So Gu Qing decided to skip work without even entering the office door.
His steps were in a hurry and his expression was panicked. Just as he was about to walk out of the gate of the Zuowei Mansion and vaguely saw the dawn of hope for life, the side door of the Zuowei suddenly closed. Li Guangbi was covered in armor, holding a wooden stick as thick as an arm in his hand, and stood in the door staring at him with a frost-faced face.
Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat. As a new talented man in Chang'an City, the scene must be described in two idioms, namely "closing the door and beating the dog" and "catching turtles in the jar".
He secretly called out "successful". Gu Qing looked around and immediately remembered that there was a back door in the backyard of Zuowei Mansion, which was specially used for purchase in the mansion. So Gu Qing smiled apologetically at Li Guangbi, then turned around and ran away.
Li Guangbi was furious and chased after him with a wooden stick, cursing and said, "Stop it with a little bastard! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will teach you a lesson on your parents!"
Gu Qing could only hear the whistling sound of the wind in his ears, and he apologized while running: "Uncle Li, I was wrong! I will give you two jars of good wine tomorrow to apologize! Don't chase me, they are all officials of the court, please be more decent!"
"Bah! I'm ridiculed for making rumors and troubles, how can I forgive you? When am I afraid of you? I'm also a hero at home. My wives and concubines are afraid of me like tigers. They are obviously the ones who scream in the middle of the night. How dare the little bastards ruin my reputation? I will kill you today!"
Gu Qing ran for life in panic, and Li Guangbi chased after him. Two people, one big and one small, were chasing in the Zuowei Mansion, which attracted countless people to stop and watch, and even those who were not interested in the big deal were applauding and cheering. The mansion was very lively for a while.
After finally finding the back door, Gu Qing rushed out. Li Guangbi was rushing behind and chasing with a stick. The two began to chase each other on the streets of Chang'an City. The noise was so big that the Wuhou who patrolled the streets were alarmed and rushed to stop them. The passers-by were even more happy and gave way and watched the two chase them curiously.
Gu Qing was just thinking about escaping, and he couldn't care about how many onlookers were attracted.
Just as he was running almost dead, a pretty figure jumped out from beside him, and he ran with him. The pretty figure quickly stood shoulder to shoulder with him because he was just starting out and he still had the leisure to hold his fists at him.
"Second brother!"
“…”
"Second brother!" Zhang Huaijin tried unwillingly to continue the ceremony of meeting brothers.
"Brother two eggs! When is it still a matter of being so particular, run away!"
Zhang Huaijin looked at Li Guangbi, who was waving a big stick behind her face with a ferocious face, and couldn't help but say shocked: "Second brother, what have you done? Why did Uncle Li chase you?"
"I'll stand there and explain this from beginning to end to you, okay?"
Chapter completed!
