When it comes to suspicion of his ministers, Li Longji has a bad vision and is extremely clear-headed.

When he was suspicious of Gao Xianzhi, he sent Gu Qing over. Gu Qing did not disappoint him. He quickly undermined Gao Xianzhi, took control of the military power of the Anxi Army, and commanded a war, which made Li Longji look faced.

Later, he was suspicious of Gu Qing, so he sent Pei Zhounan over.

Li Longji chose Pei Zhounan as a person, at least for now, every step Pei Zhounan took in Anxi is correct.

He has a deep understanding of the word "restraint".

The power to restrain Gu Qing is not to be hostile to Gu Qing, but to represent Li Longji to draw a scope for Gu Qing, not to let Gu Qing be out of line, nor to allow him to have any words and deeds of being unfaithful to the emperor and the court. The so-called "retention" means not to let Gu Qing's power in his hands be unscrupulous.

On the way to Anxi, Pei Zhounan planned the steps for himself to take action.

First of all, we need to fully understand the four towns of Anxi, especially Kucha City where the Anxi Protectorate is located, and the garrison camp located outside Kucha City.

Secondly, we need to understand the local customs and customs, the likes and dislikes of the soldiers, know what these soldiers like and hate, and how to use the power of the censor to buy the morale of the army, so that those soldiers know that they are loyal to the emperor, not to the Lord of Anxi. This step is very important.

After almost the understanding, Pei Zhounan still needs allies and needs to establish a force to compete with Gu Qing, so that the purpose of restraint can be achieved.

Compared to the hidden arrows that hurt people by using public welfare and personal care, Pei Zhounan is undoubtedly a rational and sober type of person. He has faith, perseverance, and the determination to sacrifice his life for the Emperor of Tang at any time.

What’s even more terrifying is that every step Pei Zhounan takes is correct and effective.

His coming to meet Bian Lingcheng today is also one of his means to restrain Gu Qing.

After arguing about the heart, Bian Lingcheng was so scared that he was unattended. He clearly realized that he had indeed let down the holy grace and the emperor's trust in him.

When did Bian Lingcheng become an accomplice after being subtly influenced by Gu Qing?

Probably... it was the time when Gu Qing distributed him dividends after selling the shop.

Money is touching? Bian Lingcheng is a villain? He is not a saint, so he cannot refuse money. However, the Censor Pei in front of him seemed to have eyes thousands of miles away? He saw through the incident of his acceptance of Gu Qing's bribe? After saying it in person, Bian Lingcheng felt that he had no secrets to say anymore? He had obeyed Pei Zhounanyan.

Because the emperor now trusts Pei Zhounan, not him, Bian Lingcheng.

If Pei Zhounan studies another book in Chang'an, Bian Lingcheng will be able to survive in this life.

"Censor Pei? I know that I am guilty, and I will never dare to let Your Majesty down again." Bian Lingcheng knelt in front of Pei Zhounan and cried bitterly.

Pei Zhounan was unmoved and even felt a little disgusted by Bian Lingcheng's backless behavior of kneeling down. After frowned slightly, Pei Zhounan said: "I hope the Bian Supervisor can make the merits and commit crimes? He won the trust of His Majesty, otherwise no one in the world can save you."

"What does Censor Pei want me to do? I will listen to you."

Pei Zhounan said slowly: "Before I took office as Anxi, I had inquired about Gu Qing's background and character in Chang'an. I have to say that this marquis is really a hero. If he has no different intentions towards the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, he will definitely be the minister of my lord and famous in history."

Bian Lingcheng agreed: "Gu Qing is indeed quite capable."

Pei Zhounan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "This person is of course very capable? But if no one checks and balances, once he has power and is unscrupulous, it will be a great trouble for the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty sent me to Anxi? Is he going to stare at him? Don't let him become a great trouble..."

"What Your Majesty is afraid of is not Gu Qing, but his power. Nowadays, the ten major military towns in the Tang Dynasty, each of which has a military governor. The military governor resists foreign aggression and fights in foreign countries for the Tang Dynasty. However, the military governor has too many troops, and His Majesty is worried about backlash, so he must have some restrictions."

"I guess what Your Majesty is thinking. In the next few years, Your Majesty may step by step take back the military power of the Jiedushi's imperial court. Anxi is the western barrier of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. Gu Qing will soon find that his power as the Jiedushi will quietly lose a part of his power every year until the Tang Dynasty no longer needs the Jiedushi."

Looking at Bian Lingcheng, Pei Zhounan said in a deep voice: "Bian Supervisor, I am the first to arrive, and everything is difficult to deal with. You and I are all loyal ministers sent by Your Majesty to monitor the Anxi Protectorate. At this time, we should work together to protect the barriers of the Tang Dynasty for Your Majesty. What is the intention of the Bian Supervisor?"

Bian Lingcheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I wish to listen to the order of Jingshi Pei."

Pei Zhounan smiled and said, "It's great. I will report to the emperor. The border supervisor was heartless and never changed his color."

Pei Zhounan lowered his voice and said, "I need a list of generals above the Anxi Army's brigade commander and above, as well as a detailed account book on the expenditure of each money, grain and weapons of the Anxi Army since Gu Qing took office. Can I do it?"

Bian Lingcheng said without hesitation: "Yes, it can be submitted to Jingshi Pei within three days."

Fuzhi Inn.

Gu Qing cooked in person, and Huangfu Sisi was studying openly beside him, watching Gu Qing slaughter a live fish and marinate it, then put it in a pan and braised it.

"Frying, stir-frying, steaming and roasting, the cooking skills are just these. Nowadays, most of them are steaming and roasting, which is inevitable that they will lose the monotony. I will teach you a few more things today, study hard, study hard, and cook for me in the future." Gu Qing held the big spoon and said authentically.

Huangfu Sisi's fair nose was sweating slightly. Spring was over, and it was almost summer. The desert climate in summer was much hotter than in the pass.

"It turns out that the Marquis is so skilled in cooking. Since you know how to cook, why do you often come to my shop to eat and drink for free? Isn't it great to do it in the camp?"

Gu Qing tugged the corner of his mouth and said, "Because I'm lazy, is this reason strong enough?"

Huangfu Sisi rolled her eyes and sighed with a smile: "It's very powerful, I can't refute it."

Gu Qing said again: "Also, I will say less about eating and drinking for free in the future. I do often eat and drink for free in your store, but I also have self-esteem. In order to take care of my self-esteem, please swallow your anger when I eat and drink for free in the future, and don't say a word."

Huangfu Sisi was stunned. Why did he say such shameless words with confidence without any embarrassment?

Gu Qing took the time to turn his head and smiled at her: "By the way, in addition to being lazy, I am also very thick-skinned. I can say anything more shameless than this, but at the same time, I am also a person with strong self-esteem. A man is so contradictory."

Huangfu Sisi really swallowed her anger, but her breathing became rapid unconsciously, and she obviously was not calm inside.

When Gu Qing turned his head, he happened to see her undulating breasts. It was early summer now, and the weather was very hot. Huangfu Sisi's clothes were quite thin. Through the gauze-like cover of her shoulders, Gu Qing saw a pink spring color suddenly appearing.

Then Gu Qing's eyes straightened, and there seemed to be a warm fluid surging in his nose, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he swallowed with difficulty.

Seeing that his eyes were strange, Huangfu Sisi lowered her head curiously to look at his gaze. After being shocked, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. She subconsciously wanted to cover her, and even more wanted to cut off his thief eyes.

Then she suddenly stopped moving, and for some reason she thought of something, her expression became charming. She held back the shyness in her heart, kept her calm and kept her motionless, allowing his thief-like eyes to look at her chest unscrupulously.

I don’t know how long it took, Huangfu Sisi finally couldn’t stand it anymore. Since childhood, she had never been so directed by a man with a flirtatious look. It was the first time that he was allowed to be flirtatious without resisting. After all, he was a pretty girl. If she didn’t resist for only a moment, how could she not be shameless and let him flirtatious for too long?

"You, have you... seen enough?" Huangfu Sisi's pretty face turned red and her voice was as dumb as a mosquito.

"Ah, ah?" Gu Qing came back to his senses, turned his head in panic, and said calmly: "The tulle on your shoulder looks very good, where did you buy it?"

Huangfu Sisi blushed, but laughed: "You...humph, you dare not act but dare not act. I generously let you see it. You eat it completely but don't admit it. Bah! Ding the disciple!"

"I have never admitted my debts after eating them. Not only do I refuse to admit my debts, but I also owe them. Did you know me on the first day?" Gu Qing said without changing his face.

Huangfu Sisi gritted her teeth, reached out to pinch his soft flesh behind his waist, and said angrily: "You can take advantage of it. How can I be a human being in the future? You have seen it all by you just now. You are still behaved. Who dares to marry me in the future?"

Gu Qing said seriously: "It's certainly wrong for me to not admit the account, but you can't frame it. What does it mean to be seen by me? I haven't seen anything except that little bit of place. I definitely can't recognize this account. Please respect yourself. If you dare to cheat me again, I will sue the official."

Huangfu Sisi was really angry this time: "Do you say I don't respect myself? What's wrong with me? Apart from treating you, I, I... I have never been to men... Bah! I tell you what I did, go to die!"

After saying that, Huangfu Sisi kicked him hard in anger, turned his head and ran out, returned to the room, and walked out soon after. She had changed her clothes and covered her tightly. Her face passed by Gu Qing like frost, and ignored him.

Seeing that she was angry, Gu Qing suddenly felt guilty.

Finally, I realized the mentality of the dogs and men in love in my previous life. No matter who is right or wrong, as long as the woman is angry, men will inevitably feel guilty and indecent.

Is there a slut hidden in a man's gene?

"I've been single for too long. When I go back, I write a letter and ask Zhang Huaiyu to come to Anxi and my bridal chamber..." Gu Qing murmured.

As for Huangfu Sisi who was angry... Gu Qing decided not to pay attention to her for the time being.

I'm not my girlfriend, I just glanced at half of your breasts. Are you responsible for you?

...In this era, it seems that I have to be responsible.

But she was so angry that it means she didn't need me to be responsible. Just like when she met a hooligan on the subway in her previous life, she didn't have to marry a hooligan if she was molested. They would only call the police.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingmao suddenly opened up.
