Chapter 116 Chang'an Scenery

Gu Qing was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that a problem he accidentally had was hiding such a big thunder.

It is said that there are two major hatreds that cannot be resolved in the world, one is the hatred of killing the father, and the other is the hatred of taking over the wife. Strictly speaking, these two people are also considered to be the hatred of taking over the wife.

No wonder the two of them always look irreconcilable. In the end, they had to work together because of the interests of the porcelain kiln. They didn't know how violent psychological struggle they had suffered and how much disgusting they had to endure.

The two shopkeepers became more and more quarreled. They slapped the table and expressed their strong desire to have a relationship with each other's female elders, and the more they scolded, the more they became more and more ugly.

Gu Qing was too lazy to persuade him to fight, so he had to sit on the cushion and think about his plan after he arrived in Chang'an.

You must be planning to do things, whether in a barren mountain village or in the world's most prosperous capital of Chang'an.

After thinking for a while, the battle between the two shopkeepers had escalated and they started fighting.

Gu Qing sighed, stood up silently and left the yard and entered the house, leaving enough room for the two of them to fight.

…………

Liangzhou took three days off and set off again.

Five days later, Gu Qing and his party finally arrived outside Chang'an City.

Only when you see the outline of Chang'an City from afar, Gu Qing felt a simple and vicissitudes of life coming towards you. The towering city walls stood quietly on the banks of the Weishui River, silently telling each generation about the joys and sorrows of the rise and fall of the dynasty.

Gu Qing stood outside Chang'an City, and couldn't help but say something in his mind, "The dead are like this."

Kings, princes, generals and ministers will eventually die, and the iron walls of the strong city will eventually collapse. What can be eternal in the world?

Gu Qing couldn't give himself an answer, this was a very secondary philosophical question.

The group entered the city from Yanping Gate to the south. The three carriages were very inconspicuous among the crowds entering Chang'an City. This is the most prosperous city in the world. The daily traffic is 100,000. The guards outside the city gate did not even look at Gu Qing. It was just that the appearance of Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing made them a little suspicious, but they were still allowed to enter the city.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing fought for 300 rounds at Liangzhou Inn, both sides were denied the lottery. Their faces were indeed suspicious.

After entering the city, Gu Qing and his party once again praised the prosperity of Chang'an City, with endless traffic. The ordinary streets were about ten to twenty feet wide. The Zhuque Avenue on the meridian line was even close to fifty feet. Such a wide road seemed a bit crowded. The Hu Shangs led camels and the people carrying bamboo baskets, as well as Wu Hou who patrol the streets, officials leading horses, children who ran and quarreled...

The scenes of sentient beings on earth are all displayed one by one in this wonderful picture.

As Gu Qing walked, a few smiles appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly liked this city a little. He liked its human fireworks, his appearance covered with mortal world, and his light and lotus-like dancing shoes spinning on the dust.

This is a capital city that is elegant and vulgar, but does not make people feel abrupt at all.

The poet chanted in the hustle and bustle of the city, the swordsman was drunk in the open-air wine shop, the monk held a purple bowl and passed by the beautiful girl, and his eyes touched a story. The down-and-out literati held a turbid cheap wine cup, drank seven-point drunkenly and begged for poetry to exchange for wine money. The powerful lady in the luxury carriage quietly lifted the curtain and found a handsome strange man in the crowd, a white embroidered handkerchief deliberately threw it at his feet. The carriage was away with her naughty chuckling. The man picked up the embroidered handkerchief and felt lost...

The greatness of Chang'an is not because of its strong city, but because of its spirit and atmosphere.

It is a city that can tolerate everything, the ambition of emperors, the desire of human nature, the iron pen of literati, the rust sword of generals, and the poems and paintings that seem to spread from the Nine Heavens Palace to the world, they are all included in this magnificent city.

Gu Qing and the two shopkeepers found an inn to stay in. Then Gu Qing carried the official body and wrote a letter and a sign to inquire about the location of the Zuowei Venerable Mansion in Chang'an. He walked along the street to Zhuque Avenue and came to Zuowei Venerable Mansion beside Zhuque Avenue.

He handed a letter to the soldiers at the door, and saw that Gu Qing was the recorder of the Zuowei's proprietor, and the soldiers saluted with their swords. Then a soldier led Gu Qing through the side door, passed through the winding corridor, and came to a wing room. The soldiers told him that this was the place where the Cangcai joined the military service, and the Cangcai in charge of the list of soldiers told him.

Gu Qing quickly understood that it was commonly known as the Xinsheng Reporting Room, or the company's Human Resources Department.

According to the military officer level, Gu Qing, the military officer, is one level older than the military officer of the Warden, but the registration procedure still has to be completed.

Cangcao Jun was a man in his thirties. His surname was Zhou. He wore a silk official uniform in the house in a hot day, and was so hot that he poured cold water. After Gu Qing handed over the letter, Cangcao Jun carefully looked at Gu Qing, and then stood up very enthusiastically to perform the official courtesy. His attitude was a bit too enthusiastic. Gu Qing cautiously replied to the etiquette allowed by social etiquette and would never give him any fantasy of male elegance.

After a while of greeting with Gu Qing, Zhou Cangcao told Gu Qing with a smile that Xingqing Palace had already passed the order. After the Zuowei Lu Office took office, he could immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor. Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine wanted to summon him.

Gu Qing suddenly realized, no wonder this warehouse manager was so enthusiastic about him, it turned out that it was because of this.

There are many officials transferred to Chang'an from other places, but before the people entered Chang'an, the emperor and the imperial concubine in the palace were waiting to summon him. This was not many, and it can be said that there were unique ones. With this alone, Gu Qing was enough to win the enthusiasm of others.

Gu Qing was quite surprised. He met Yang Guifei once in Shuzhou, but he didn't expect that Yang Guifei had such a good impression of him and had to summon him as soon as he entered Chang'an.

The warehouse manager in front of him was barely considered an acquaintance and was still a colleague from the same unit in the future. Gu Qing was happy to get along with him. After chatting, he asked him about the procedures for entering the palace.

Zhou Cangcao patted his chest and said, "This matter is for him." Since he already has the intention, everything is not a problem. He just went to the Ministry of Rites to report it."

Some local officials came to Chang'an to report their duties, and often had to wait for one or two months for the time of meeting the king, and some even waited for half a year without waiting for the summons. Gu Qing was different. Those who had the will could go to the line and walk sideways.

The next morning, Gu Qing wore his official uniform for the first time, and his green official robe stood outside the Xingqing Palace gate and looked particularly abrupt.

According to the color level of the Tang Dynasty official uniforms, officials who usually appear outside Xingqing Palace are wearing purple official uniforms, and the most common official uniforms are also scary. Officials like Gu Qing, who are not qualified to meet the emperor.

But...who asked someone to have the will?

He handed the placards and waist signs to the soldiers in front of the palace gate. After checking, the soldiers asked Gu Qing to wait outside the palace gate. Not long after, an eunuch wearing a crimson official uniform came out and led Gu Qing into the palace gate with a whisk.
