After knowing An Lushan for many days, Gu Qing gradually understood An Lushan's routine of attracting favors.

First of all, I have to make Li Longji and Yang Guifei happy. The previous life said it was "humor". Unfortunately, An Lushan's humorous cells were not enough, so he had to use a stupid method, which was to play ugly.

Pretending to be ugly is also considered humor. The ugly appearance is, the easier it is to cause psychological contrast among the audience, thus creating a sense of superiority. Whether it is An Lushan’s Hu Xuanwu at the beginning of weight of more than 300 kilograms, or today’s so-called “washing three”, the fat man with more than 300 kilograms in his colorful swaddle clothes, it is a kind of “pretending to be ugly”.

The effect was very obvious. Li Longji and Yang Guifei were both amused by An Lushan's appearance, and the eunuchs and palace maids next to her laughed constantly. The palace people seemed to have unified their voices, and they even cheered "Lu'er" in unison.

Gu Qing watched coldly, his eyes gradually narrowed.

The thickness of this fat man's face eventually exceeded Gu Qing's imagination. He originally thought that he was shameless enough to think of a woman who was more than ten years younger than him as his godmother, but An Lushan told Gu Qing with practical actions that he could be even more shameless.

More than 300 kilograms, an adult who is nearly fifty years old, holding more than 100,000 elite border troops in his hand, how can he feel embarrassed to treat himself as a newborn baby and wrap himself in a swaddle?

Looking at An Lushan's appearance, Gu Qing was so disgusting that he had to work hard to maintain a smile, echoing this pair of emperors and in-laws with a very low laugh.

An Lushan was proud and jumped to Li Longji. Even his voice was so sharp that he was deliberately sharp. He said in a tone that he thought he was cute and naive and disgusting: "Father, father, the child will call him Lu'er in the future, and his godmother has agreed to accept Lu'er as his adopted son."

Li Longji comforted her, stroked her beard and laughed, "Okay, Lu'er will be my adopted son in the future, so I will rely on Lu'er to help me protect my country."

"Don't worry, Father, Lu'er will definitely live up to his expectations. When Lu'er returns to the three towns in the north, he will definitely govern the army strictly. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the three towns are all tiger and wolf troops who are loyal to his father."

Li Longji became more and more happy. He was so happy that he immediately issued an order to give An Lushan a hundred taels of gold. When An Lushan leaned down to thank him, Li Longji seemed to have glanced at Gu Qing inadvertently.

Gu Qing felt something, and his mind started to spin quickly.

This look may have a deep meaning. Even though he knew that he had an irreconcilable hatred with An Lushan, he was so kind to An Lushan in front of him. So, with Li Longji's perfect imperial mind skills, what did he hope he would do?

The emperor's technique is about balance. An Lushan holds more than 100,000 elite troops. Is Li Longji really completely relieved him?

According to Gu Qing's guess, Li Longji may need someone who can check and balance An Lushan. This person may not be him, but Gu Qing will strive to become this person.

It was not that Li Longji had suspicious of An Lushan. Checking and balancing ministers was just a kind of instinct of Li Longji. Any minister needed someone to be able to replace him and restrain him according to the times. This is called "checking and balancing".

The thoughts flashed through my mind, and Gu Qing immediately made up his mind. He suddenly walked to Yang Guifei, looked at Yang Guifei, who was smiling and trembling, and said softly: "The concubine is happy to have an adopted son. Why not be happy today? I am a fellow villager and I am a member of the concubine. After coming to Chang'an, I am grateful. The concubine is so young and beautiful. I personally said that the concubine is one of the four great beauties from ancient times to the present. I dare not call the concubine old. If the concubine does not abandon her, I want to call the concubine "sister". I wonder if it is possible?"

Yang Guifei's laughter came to an abrupt end and she looked at Gu Qing in shock. Li Longji was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Gu Qing came like this in front of An Lushan, which was really unexpected.

The fat on An Lushan's face was trembling. His ugly appearance just now made Gu Qing disgusted. At this moment, Gu Qing's "sister" sounded like "sister" and made him disgusted.

Concubine Yang quickly looked at Li Longji. Seeing that Li Longji had a smile but did not say a word, Concubine Yang immediately shouted with anger: "Gu Qing, I am here, don't mess around!"

Gu Qing blinked innocently: "I am not making a fuss. Can't I call you sister? Then I'll call myself the minister from now on."

Yang Guifei glanced at An Lushan with a pale face and said laughing and crying: "You... are really a child who can't grow up. Can such jokes be made randomly? Lu'er... Where are you handsome in An Jie?"

Gu Qing suddenly realized: "Ah, I forgot this time. An Jieshuai. I'm really sorry. The boy is young and ignorant, and he is a little obsessed for a while. However, you and I are both loyal ministers of Your Majesty, and their gratitude to Your Majesty and the Empress are different. Why not discuss their own opinions in the future? What about An Jieshuai's wishes?"

An Lushan snorted coldly, without saying a word, but wrapped the cradle tightly on his body. It was originally a successful act of being ugly, which made His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine smile. Then he planned to take advantage of the joy of Long Yan to take the opportunity to replace a group of Han generals in the army of the three towns and appoint a group of Hu generals. However, Gu Qingheng rushed in and made the good atmosphere extremely awkward.

The matter of changing the Han general can only be left to find an opportunity to mention it again in the future.

"Marquis Gu County, your 'sister' has been reduced to me for a lifetime. I feel unhappy if you take this advantage." An Lushan said with a slight smile.

Gu Qing also smiled and said, "Forgive An Jieshuai. I just saw the scene of the deep love between the imperial concubine and you, Jishuai, and I was moved very much. I was so moved that I was so obsessed with it. However, An Jieshuai's filial piety moved the world. Since I recognized the imperial concubine as my adopted mother, there are still many things that will inexplicably surrender to the next generation. Jishuai should get used to it earlier."

"You..." An Lushan was furious, but he did not dare to attack in front of Li Longji. After all, the character of a filial son has been established, and if the current attack occurs, it is inevitable that he will lose his manners, leaving a bad impression on Li Longji.

Li Longji, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, I am all good ministers. Don't argue about small matters. Lu'er accompanied your adopted mother to walk around the back garden. Spring is in full bloom, and the flowers in the garden are quite gorgeous. Compared with the scenery of the barbaric land in the north, you can't talk to you. You are so happy to enjoy. I have something to say with Gu Qing, so leave."

An Lushan had no choice but to salute and bid farewell with Yang Guifei.

In the courtyard outside Nanxun Palace, only Li Longji and Gu Qing were left. Gao Lishi stood far away and avoided it tactfully.

Li Longji looked at Gu Qing and smiled, saying, "I have a delicate heart. Gu Qing's intelligence is definitely not about showing off his poetry and writing. However, in the world, it is rare to be able to do this at the age of twenty."

Gu Qing knew why Li Longji suddenly praised him. He just suddenly recognized Yang Guifei as his sister to cater to the holy wishes. According to Li Longji's intention, Gu Qing's personality should be openly hostile to An Lushan, which is in line with Li Longji's interests.

Gu Qing was very aware of being a chess piece, and immediately understood Li Longji's intentions, and did it according to his ideas without hesitation.

This is why Li Longji praised him for his "humanity and worldly style".

After not mentioning what happened just now, Li Longji changed the topic: "I have read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you wrote, and I have read it more than once. I have to say that it is my blessing to be used by the country by Gu Qing's talent and the blessing of the Tang Dynasty."

Gu Qing lowered his head in panic and said, "I am knowledgeable and show off my skills, and I am not worthy of praise from Your Majesty."

"Mo is humble. To be honest, I have been thinking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms you wrote these days, and I have benefited a lot, but I have more and more questions..."

Li Longji thought for a while and said, "This book was written by Gu Qing. I have some questions to ask you to solve my confusion best. I ask you, how do you read Zhuge Liang in the book?"

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Zhuge Liang, the name of 'Wolong' is not true. Although he is very smart and close to the monster, his pattern is not big enough. The demise of Shu Kingdom is mainly due to Zhuge Liang's hands."

Li Longji was very interested: "Oh? I would like to hear about it."

Just as Gu Qing was about to speak, Li Longji suddenly stopped him, waved to Gao Lishi, and said in a deep voice: "Summoning the Secretariat to come quickly, I will report to Gu Qing."

Gu Qing was stunned, and then showed inexplicable gratitude.

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was responsible for recording the emperor's daily life and words. At this moment, Li Longji and Gu Qing were just chatting, but after summoning the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, the nature was different, and it became a formal ceremony for the monarch and ministers to report the right of each other. Thousands of years later, Gu Qing's name may appear in history books.

"Your Majesty, I... are frightened." Gu Qing said with his head down.

Li Longji said seriously: "Although we are talking about calligraphy and history, history can be used as a lesson for today's people and must be observed."

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat arrived soon, laying paper beside the low table, carrying a pen and hanging it on the paper, waiting for Li Longji and Gu Qing to play.

Gu Qing's attitude also became serious. Strictly speaking, today is a formal interview. Li Longji is the examiner and Gu Qing is the examinee. The content of the exam is Gu Qing's knowledge and the gap in his heart. Today's results determine Gu Qing's future future.

After pondering for a long time, Gu Qing said slowly: "Zhuge Liang in the early Three Kingdoms period knew the advance and retreat, and knew the pros and cons. Huarong Road designed the pattern of letting Cao Cao go and deciding the world to make the three parts of the world give Liu Bei enough time and energy to plan for Shu and establish a country. Zhuge Liang was wise at that time and deserved the title of "Wolong".

Li Longji nodded and smiled, "What's next?"

"After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang's performance can only be described as 'bad'. Your Majesty, Shu Kingdom was the safest place among the Three Kingdoms at that time. Shu Kingdom was located in a remote place, with many mountain plateaus, and had countless natural barriers to the outside world. The terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. With Zhuge Liang's talent, if he only defended, outsiders would never be able to fight in."

"As long as Zhuge Liang can calm down and develop the agriculture and sericulture of Shu Kingdom with a strategic defensive attitude, develop Shu Kingdom for twenty years, so that his country has enough military sources, money, food, and talent reserves, etc., and then go out to Shu to conquer Wei and Wu, and his determination to unify the world will be much greater than his six out of Qishan and returning in vain."

"For the outside world, Zhuge Liang frequently used troops, and in order to fulfill Liu Bei's last wish, he did not hesitate to waste the people and money. He conquers Wei every time and comes out of Qishan every time. Zhuge Liang made a big mistake in both strategic and tactical aspects."
