Chapter 176 Never compromise(1/2)
Princess Wanchun's literary attainments are obviously very high. She interpreted such a beautiful artistic conception by two lines of poetry. Gu Qing felt as simple as a virgin in front of her.
You are a princess, why are your thoughts so evil? At this speed of driving, you can't drive such a ecstasy curve without driving for more than five years.
"Your Highness misunderstood, I have no intention." Gu Qing lowered his head and took two steps back.
Princess Wanchun was so angry that she forced her to take two steps forward: "What do you mean is that you forgot what happened that night, but I still miss you?"
Gu Qing said helplessly: "Is the facts... not obvious enough?"
"What a thief, I'm the palace that night..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qing suddenly interrupted her: "Your Highness, your voice is higher, and the entire Xingqing Palace heard about that night. If Your Highness wants to silence you, you may have to kill all the people in Xingqing Palace."
Princess Wanchun was frightened and looked around guiltily, and only then felt relieved when she found that there was no one around. Then she glared at Gu Qing hatefully: "It's all your fault! Why did you appear on the mountain road that night?"
Gu Qing said helplessly: "That night, I didn't expect the princess to fall from the sky..."
"I remember, you actually dared to hug me at that time!"
"I have been single for many years and can't help myself..."
"You still..."
Gu Qing interrupted her again: "Your Highness, I have almost forgotten it. Your Highness mentioned that night over and over again. If you continue, all the pictures of that night will be clearly remembered..."
"You dare! Forget it quickly, did you hear it?" Princess Wanchun said in a furious manner.
"Okay, forget, forget immediately."
Princess Wanchun was angry and helpless. She was just a princess and did not dare to kill court officials at any time. But she suffered a loss that night. Gu Qing saw Qingqing's innocent body, but she had no choice but to treat Gu Qing. This anger was really hard to swallow.
Seeing Wan Chun's shame and anger, Gu Qing couldn't help but persuade him warmly: "Your Highness, what happened that night was just an accident. I had no intention of taking advantage of Your Highness. I can only blame my bad luck. I am innocent. Why don't you and I forget all this and never mention it again?"
Princess Wanchun hesitated for a while, and finally nodded unwillingly and agreed. She was a princess, and after suffering such a big loss, if she still insisted on this matter, she would be undecent and would be a joke if she spread it out.
"You must forget what happened that night, completely forget it, and you must not remember a trace of it." Princess Wanchun reminded seriously.
Gu Qing knew it was time to show his acting skills, so he showed a confused and innocent expression and said in surprise: "What did your highness say? When was that night? What happened?"
Princess Wanchun was very satisfied with Gu Qing's reaction. Yes, her acting skills were heart-warming.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Princess Wanchun changed the subject and looked at the wine jar in Gu Qing's hand.
Gu Qing subconsciously took two steps back: "It's wine, I plan to give it to the imperial concubine..."
"The fragrance I smelled just now is this bar? Let me see what wine is so fragrant."
Gu Qing sighed and reluctantly opened the seal of the wine jar. Princess Wanchun immediately smelled a strong aroma of wine, accompanied by a faint fruity smell and osmanthus fragrance.
As Li Longji's pearl of his hand, Princess Wanchun has frequent banquets on weekdays and is also a good wine lover. The jar of wine in Gu Qing's hand looks delicious. Wanchun was immediately moved, her throat quietly wriggled, then picked up the princess's airs and said proudly: "Give me the wine, and I will give you to the concubine."
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, don't make a fuss. I know your little thoughts. But this jar of wine is rare. I really want to give it to the concubine. What if I brew good wine next time I will give it to your highness?"
"If you have any questions, please ask the concubine and tell me, maybe I can help you too."
Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "I want to meet His Highness Ji, can you help?"
Wan Chunyi Dai: "That's it?"
"That's it."
Wan Chun showed joy on his face, and snatched the wine jar from Gu Qing without any hesitation, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said happily: "I am helping you, so don't ask the concubine. This jar of wine is a reward for me. After noon, I will wait outside the palace, and I will take you to the Prince Ji Mansion."
Gu Qing thought about it and only wanted to see King Ji. It didn't matter who would take him to see King Ji. Besides, when we were in Taoist temple, we had a little grudge with Wan Chun. We would get along a few more times and become friends. The grudges would naturally disappear, so that we would not have to create one more enemy.
So Gu Qing smiled and saluted: "Then please ask Your Highness the Princess. I will go outside the palace to wait for Your Highness."
…………
Wanchun led the way. Gu Qing saw that it was easy for King Ji, followed Princess Wanchun and entered Prince Ji's mansion in a swagger.
Sitting in the front hall with Wan Chun waiting for King Ji, Wan Chun came over and asked curiously: "I haven't asked yet, why do you want to meet King Ji?"
"A little thing, a friend in Shuzhou accidentally offended King Ji. I'll help him ask for love." Gu Qing said with a wry smile.
Princess Wanchun was kneeling on the futon, but when she heard this, she crossed her legs and said enthusiastically: "Tell me carefully."
Seeing her legs crossed, Gu Qing couldn't help but remember the scene of her snow-white and slender thighs crossing her waist that night. He took a deep breath and suppressed the thoughts that were ready to move in his heart.
I am almost twenty years old, is my body still developing? Is the adolescence so long?
When you go home, you must go to Taobao to exchange for some unreasonable picture albums, and consume your excess energy. A good man does not want to compete for fame and fortune, and thinks about some useless things in his mind. This is a manifestation of depravity.
Before he could answer Wan Chun's words, a figure flashed behind the screen in the front hall. A man in his thirties in his white shirt turned out and heard the sound before he saw anyone.
"The Emperor Sister Wanchun is a rare guest, and I am neglected, haha."
Wan Chun and Gu Qing stood up at the same time to salute, and Wan Chun smiled and said, "Brother Ji, how are you talking about rare guests? I'll come to your house for a banquet at the beginning of the year."
As he said that, Wan Chun pointed straight to Gu Qing and said, "Today, I would like to recommend a talented man to Brother Wang. This is Gu Qing, the chief of the Left Guard. Chang'an has a talented reputation. Brother Wang should have heard of it?"
King Ji Li Huan's eyes flashed and he looked at Gu Qing with a smile.
Gu Qing dressed up and saluted King Ji: "My minister Gu Qing, pay homage to His Highness King Ji."
King Ji stepped forward to hold Gu Qing's arm and smiled and said, "I have heard of Gu Changshi's name for a long time. The scholars of Chang'an competed to recite poems. I have admired him for a long time. I have seen him today, so how lucky I am to do it."
He ordered the servants of the royal palace to serve wine, dishes and snacks. After King Ji and Gu Qing talked about his experience of writing poems, he slowly reached the topic.
"I am asking to see Your Highness King Ji today, and I am here to apologize to Your Highness." Gu Qing stood up and bowed and said.
King Ji raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I have no contact with Gu Changshi Su, so how can I apologize for guilt?"
"My hometown is Qingcheng County, Shuzhou. The current county magistrate is named Song Gensheng. This man acts a little bit Menglang and accidentally offended His Highness King Ji. I apologize to His Highness on his behalf."
Gu Qing opened this head, and King Ji immediately understood what he was talking about. He suddenly realized and looked at Gu Qing with a smile.
Princess Wanchun looked at King Ji and Gu Qing. Seeing that the two of them looked mysterious and mysterious, they refused to say anything clearly, Wanchun was so anxious that she felt itchy.
King Ji did not answer Gu Qing's words positively, but asked: "What is your relationship with the magistrate of Qingcheng County?"
Gu Qing had a serious face: "Like father and son."
King Ji suddenly realized: "That county magistrate is your elder?"
Gu Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Highness said he was wrong, he said he was wrong."
King Ji was stunned:???
Gu Qing said: "Anyway, I have a close relationship with the magistrate of Qingcheng County. The magistrate of Song County is young and ignorant. I regret that I am not strong enough to be strong, so I have to apologize to Your Highness on behalf of him and ask Your Highness to forgive this."
"'Hate that iron cannot be made of steel', haha, Gu Changshi is really a wonderful saying, interesting..." King Ji laughed twice, and looked at Gu Qing slowly said: "Although I met Gu Changshi for the first time, I fell in love with him at first sight. For the sake of Gu Changshi, I think this matter is a misunderstanding, so I will just let it go."
Gu Qing stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your magnanimity."
King Ji smiled and said, "It's okay, making friends is better than making enemies, right? But... the gentry named Cai in Qingcheng County still wants to ask the county magistrate to release him. From now on, they will be at peace. Is this request not too much?"
Gu Qing lowered his head and said, "It's not too much. I will prepare a letter to the county magistrate and let him release him."
Princess Wanchun couldn't help but say, "What are you talking about?"
King Ji and Gu Qing quickly exchanged glances, and King Ji smiled and said, "A little thing is not worth mentioning. Wang Chun, the emperor, the prince's mansion manager, bought a Persian cat in the East City today. This cat is smart, light, gentle, gentle and gentle, quite cute. Should the emperor girl enjoy it? If you like it, it doesn't matter if you give it to you."
Wan Chun was immediately distracted, nodded and smiled, "Okay, okay!"
Gu Qing said tactfully: "I thank Your Highness King Ji again for your magnanimity, and thank Your Highness Princess for your recommendation, and I will leave."
Leaving the Ji Prince's Mansion, Gu Qing walked on the street with a gloomy expression.
The matter was half solved, and King Ji had agreed not to pursue the matter, but Gu Qing had no confidence in Song Gensheng. With Song Gensheng's nature, even if King Ji did not pursue the matter, Song Gensheng would not be good.
So strictly speaking, the matter has not been resolved at all. If Song Gensheng is unwilling to be good, it will be useless for Gu Qing to jump up and down in Chang'an to do anything.
To be honest, King Ji's attitude was pretty good. He didn't have the kind of arrogant and arrogant attitude that was arrogant and domineering. Gu Qing met him from beginning to end and he was gentle and polite, and he was as elegant as a gentleman.
This is the correct attitude of the prince and his well-educated look.
The reason why Song Gensheng was able to forgive Song Gensheng without thinking was nothing more than Gu Qing's identity. Gu Qing had a reputation in Chang'an City and had a good relationship with Yang Guifei and Yang Guozhong. As a leisurely prince who had no hope of fighting for the crown prince, King Ji naturally did not want to easily make enemies with young men who might have made great achievements in the future. In addition, Gu Qing took the initiative to apologize, and his attitude was very low. King Ji had face, so he forgived him calmly.
The trouble now is that King Ji will not pursue the matter, but Song Gensheng is unwilling to calm down.
On the one hand, the landless farmers were destroyed and the other hand, Song Gensheng was about to face the crazy revenge of the King of Ji. How to choose between "benevolence" and "righteousness"? Gu Qing was in a contradictory mood.
After returning home, Gu Qing locked himself in the study room and pondered for a while. Finally, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter, advising Song Gen to settle down and let him go immediately and not pursue the matter.
Gu Qing also added a few words to the letter. He told Song Gensheng that some things were too serious and troublesome, and they should not be cut off with a rough knife. In the end, not only will the matter fail, but it will also retaliate against him. The way to do it is to slowly be the right way.
After writing the letter, Gu Qing instructed the housekeeper to find a good cavalryman and promised to send the letter to Qingcheng County Government day and night with a large sum of money.
After doing all this, Gu Qing sat alone in the study room in a daze.
Gu Qing still felt guilty about this letter that had been sent out, so he chose to protect Song Gensheng's life. Gu Qing had no choice but to give up those farmers who had lost their land.
Gu Qing is still too weak after all. Now he is not qualified to change the rules of the game for the powerful and can only choose to compromise silently.
…………
Qingcheng County.
Song Gensheng left the county town early in the morning. Without the servants, only Zhang Huaiyu and a few young men in the village followed.
Since offending the gentry surnamed Cai, Zhang Huaiyu moved into the county government just to protect Song Gensheng.
She was born into a prime minister family and knew very well what kind of bloody storm it would be if the powerful class got crazy.
