The silverfish bag is a kind of ornament given by the emperor. It is hung on the belt and has no practical use. It cannot subdue demons and destroys demons, nor can it help others overcome tribulation, but it is a great honor. If the silverfish bag is hung on the waist, others will know that you have holy favors, and it is simply in the heart of the emperor.

However, there are rules for the emperor to reward silverfish bags. Usually, court officials above the fifth grade are qualified to wear silverfish bags. Gu Qing is just a senior eighth grade recorder and even was awarded silverfish bags, which is an exception.

It can be imagined that after the news spread, Gu Qing, a young man who had just come to Chang'an, would receive the attention of powerful court officials from all walks of life.

A hunched old eunuch beside Li Longji stepped forward, smiling with a pile of smiles on his face, holding a tray in his hand, and a silverfish bag lies on the tray. When he walked to Gu Qing, the old eunuch smiled more and more kindly, and said, "Gu Zengjun, what should I tie the silverfish bag given by the emperor to you?"

Gu Qing's eyes condensed and he quickly looked at the old eunuch. He heard Li Longji call "General Gao" just now. This is probably the famous Gao Lishi. It is rare among eunuchs from ancient times to the present.

Seeing Gao Lishi coming forward to tie a silverfish bag for him, Gu Qing hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Gao Aweng."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "It's all the grace of your Majesty."

After tied the silverfish bag, Gu Qing thanked him again. Li Longji turned his head and looked at Yang Guifei and smiled, "Although this boy is young, he is humble and does not have the arrogance of a young man. It is quite rare. Look at the children of noble families in Chang'an City, they are all crazy. In comparison, Gu Qing is much better than them."

Yang Guifei smiled and said, "If Sanlang likes him, he might as well summon him frequently, and it is better to give some training. Gu Qing is from Zuowei's relatives' mansion. Zuowei is in charge of the palace and guards. It is very convenient to enter the palace."

Li Longji nodded and said, "If your wife has any homesickness in the future, she can also call Gu Qing to talk to relieve her homesickness. Your little fellow villager has not embarrassed your hometown."

Concubine Yang glanced at Gu Qing, and her eyes were filled with a faint anger. She covered her mouth and giggled, "Your Majesty, don't look at his honest appearance at this moment. His mouth is so pleasing to others. He can't stop praising people. He compared the ancient Xishi, Wang Zhaojun and Diao Chan, saying that I am one of the four beauties, and he also called my concubine "shame flowers"..."

Li Longji laughed: "I heard that, it's really appropriate. Isn't my wife just a beauty? She's so talented!"

Gu Qing said awkwardly: "My name Meng Lang is so shocked when Shuzhou first met the Empress. He couldn't help but feel jealous. Which man can be blessed to become the Empress's husband? It's really a blessing that has been cultivated in his three lives. Therefore, when he lost his composure, he blurted out his words..."

This invisible flattery made Li Longji happy again. Men's minds are like this. It's nothing to be envied by other men, but it is the greatest praise for being envied by other men because of their beautiful wife. Vanity is extremely satisfied in an instant.

Gu Qing also laughed with her, with tens of thousands of divine beasts rushing in her heart.

He found that the essence of entering the palace today is to flatter. The more you get when you flatter, the more benefits you get. Today, after a few casual words, you will get a house in Chang'an and a silverfish bag. In this sense, rich reserves of flattery knowledge are equal to wealth.

If this equation is true, within half a year, the Tang Dynasty's treasury may have been named Gu.

The king, minister, guests and master were all happy, and Gu Qing respectfully said goodbye and left the palace.

Concubine Yang also sued Li Longji to retreat to the harem. In the empty hall, Li Longji's smile gradually became cold.

"General Gao."

"I'm here."

Li Longji closed his eyebrows and said lightly: "What do you think of this Gu Qing?"

Gao Lishi thought for a while and said, "Still, intelligent, talented, but ruthless in his heart, ruthless in his heart is inevitable that he is unfaithful."

Li Longji nodded slowly: "The court is full of honor, how many people are in love, how many people are loyal to the emperor? But they are all for fame and fortune. Those who are used by me and those who are controlled by me are talents."

Gao Lishi was shocked and lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Longji closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep. Gao Lishi stood quietly beside him. After a long time, Li Longji said lightly: "Go and check this Gu Qing. My wife is very happy with this son, but I and my wife can't tolerate people with unclear origins."

Gao Lishi bowed: "Abide by the order."

…………

Walking out of Xingqing Palace, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It's even more nervous than when I was interviewing in a company in my previous life. After all, if I say the wrong thing during the interview, the company will at most refuse itself. If I say the wrong thing when I meet the king, I can leave, but my head may be left.

Walking back to the inn, Li Longji's face kept popping up in Gu Qing's mind.

It can be seen that Li Longji is very friendly and friendly to his ministers, and he deliberately creates a cheerful and open-minded personal image, which makes people unable to help but approach him. After getting along for a long time, he may unconsciously work for him. This is the personal charm of the emperor. Throughout history, most emperors who have achieved success have this kind of affinity image.

However, Gu Qing is a person who is particularly sensitive to human hearts. Gu Qing has a very keen and accurate intuition whether a person is really smiling or smirking in front of him, whether he is really happy or fake happy.

After a brief intersection with Li Longji in the palace just now, Gu Qing could only give him one evaluation: his acting skills are very good and he is very thoughtful.

However, the acting skills that are more thoughtful are still performed.

A few flatteries made me laugh, and I gave me a house and a silverfish bag, as if I was really valued by the emperor. However, the emperor was not so easy to fool, especially an emperor who once created the Kaiyuan prosperous era. Even though the emperor is getting more and more stupid as he grows older, he has not lost his ability to play with power.

Gu Qing knew very well that Li Longji's rewards to him today were mostly a kind of show of kindness, and at the same time, it was also to please Yang Guifei and help her gain face. As for how much Li Longji attaches importance to Gu Qing, it would be a bit funny. There were many talents in the Tang Dynasty, and a young man built a sand table and said a few words when he suppressed the rebellion. What is this?

In the future, if you want to make a name for yourself in Chang'an, you must first be absolutely conscious. If you are accidentally gnawing at the place where tigers and dragons are hidden, you will be gnawed by those old foxes without any bones left.

Gu Qing walked on the streets of Chang'an City and secretly alerted himself.

Back at the inn, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing came up and looked at Gu Qing expectantly. They knew Gu Qing wanted to meet him last night. The two shopkeepers were more excited than Gu Qing and did not sleep well overnight.

After all, Gu Qing's status is directly related to their interests, and everyone is in a prosperous relationship.

Facing the expectant gaze of the two, Gu Qing smiled, pulled off the silverfish bag on his waist and threw it at the two of them, saying, "Don't ask anything, His Majesty just rewarded me."

Hao Donglai held it in both hands, his eyes straightened, and the fat on his face was trembling with excitement: "This is a silverfish bag, only court officials above the fifth grade are qualified to wear it!"

Shi Daxing looked ecstatic: "I never thought that Your Majesty would treat Young Master so kindly. With such a holy favor, the Young Master's road in Chang'an will be smooth in the future!"

Gu Qing smiled and added slowly: "Also, we won't have to stay in the inn in a few days. Your Majesty also gave me an official house."

The two shopkeepers were stunned, and then became more and more happy. Hao Donglai said repeatedly: "Good omen! Good omen! We are here with the young man to Chang'an. As expected, Your Majesty attaches great importance to the young man, and you may be promoted in a short time. You may be awarded a marquis and a prime minister in the future."

Shi Daxing also smiled and said, "It's not bad, the young man's official journey is smooth, and we can also benefit from it. In the future, the merchants in Chang'an City will have a place for us."

Gu Qing looked at them curiously and said, "You guys have made up? Didn't you get my brain out the day before yesterday?"

Hao Donglai's face was flat and said, "Young man, don't defile us. Shi Daxing and I have always been good brothers in times of distress. We are like brothers and sisters. We will work together in this life, so how can we fight?"

Shi Daxing also said seriously: "Young man is joking. Fatty Hao and I are better than relatives. We help each other all our lives. We are brothers and brothers and respects. This emotion touches the world and there is no dispute."

Gu Qing sighed, these two guys have more than one level of acting skills than Li Longji.

If you have the opportunity, you will take them to see how the actor-level character plays.

The three of them discussed buying shops in the inn's room. As for buying and selling, they started with confidence. They selected porcelain produced in Shiqiao Village with a lower grade than tribute porcelain and were transported to Chang'an for sale, and then took a foothold before seeking development.

While discussing, a polite voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Gu Qing, Gu Langjun, can this house? The Minister of the Honglu Temple is here!"

The three people in the room were stunned, and Gu Qing said in surprise: "Don't Honglu Temple... isn't it in charge of diplomacy? How did he know me? Do you regard me as a foreigner?"

Open the door with questions. Outside the door was an old man in his fifties, with a dignified appearance, wearing a regular dress, and was stroking his beard and smiling at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment and bowed, "I am Gu Qing, I don't know this elder..."

The elder smiled and said, "It's really a handsome talent. I'm Zhang Jiuzhang and Gu Qing, it's hard to find you."

Seeing that Gu Qing was still stunned, Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and said, "I am Zhang Jiuling's younger brother and Zhang Huaiyu's uncle."

Gu Qing suddenly realized and hurriedly greeted him again and respectfully invited Zhang Jiuzhang into the house.

The Minister of the Honglu Temple is considered a senior official at the ministerial level. Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing had never seen such a big official in their lives. They immediately hurriedly saluted Zhang Jiuzhang and then went to get snacks and drinks in person.

Zhang Jiuzhang entered the door and stopped sitting down, but instead stood up straight and suddenly bowed to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was startled and subconsciously returned the gift. Zhang Jiuzhang held his arm with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Stand up and let me give you a gift. This gift is to thank Lingzun Lingtang for his life-saving gift that he had spared his life-saving gift."

So Gu Qing had to stand awkwardly and let Zhang Jiuzhang salute respectfully.
