My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 177 You are a Talent

After they were seated, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, with Luan Da mostly flattering while Gongsun Qing just waved his hand modestly at the right time.

no way.

Although Luan Da has been very popular in front of the emperor recently, he is still a younger brother when it comes to winning favors from alchemists, and Gongsun Qing is the senior!

To this day, who in the world doesn’t know Doctor Gongsun?
Even if you don't know his name, you will know about Gongsun Qing's deeds after hearing the reign title "Yuanding".

This master is quite famous in the world of alchemists.

Even Luan Da was willing to accept Queen Kang's recommendation and take the risk to come to Chang'an to try his luck, which was partly because he was inspired by "Gongsun Jiushi"...

inside the hall.

Luan Da laughed and talked, and flattered the other party a few more times, and then told the purpose of his visit today, "Junior brother has just arrived in Chang'an not long ago, and he is not familiar with the place."

"Fortunately, I have my senior brother here, so I have the audacity to come to your door and ask you to explain something to me." As he said this, he bowed meaningfully.

"Brother, you know that my fellow Taoists like me are among emperors and generals, so we need to be cautious everywhere. Chang'an is a dangerous place, so I wonder if there are any taboos?"

Hear the words.

Gongsun Qing stared at Luan Da with a half-smile. He talked a lot in a roundabout way, but Doctor Gongsun asked directly: "Junior brother, you want to ask about the crown prince, right?"

"Brother, you hit the nail on the head. I admire you!"

Luan Da did not hide anything and immediately responded with a serious expression. After giving an admiring look, he sighed, stroked the mustache at the corner of his lips, and his expression turned into worry.

"Ugh."

"It was all caused by my junior brother Shao Weng. If he died, then he died. But now he wants to implicate me? This is really an unprovoked disaster."

Luan Da sighed again, "Master has long said that he is not good enough in martial arts and cannot leave the mountain, but he insists on... Whatever, what's the point of mentioning him."

At this time.

After expressing his sadness and condemnation, Luan Dashi looked at Gongsun Qing and said, "May I ask, Senior Brother, when I was in Jiaodong, I often heard that the current Crown Prince hated my generation. Is that true?"

"Half truths and half lies."

Gongsun Qing thought about the wealth that the other party brought with him when he came to visit, so he answered every question, "The rumors are too exaggerated. The prince really doesn't like us."

"But it's not to the point of deep hatred."

Luan Da pretended to listen attentively, and Gongsun Qing continued: "The prince has taken good care of the hundreds of families, and there are many followers of the hundreds of families under his command."

"Legalists, Mohists, and Strategists. Recently, Confucians have also come into contact with the Prince's Palace. All the well-known schools of thought have a presence in the Prince's Palace, except for these two schools."

"Besides the Miscellaneous School, the other one is my Yin-Yang School..."

Gongsun Qing explained it in detail, how could Luan Da not understand? The prince's disgust for Luan Da was obvious to see that Luan Da was able to be in the same team with the miscellaneous people!
"Just."

Gongsun Qing took a sip of tea and continued, "I may not like it, but it's not hatred or hostility."

As he spoke, he pointed at himself, with the corners of his lips raised, "If Your Highness the Crown Prince hated me so much, would I still be able to sit here peacefully today?"

"Oh...hahaha, that's right!"

Luan Da paused for a moment, then laughed and nodded. The laughter gradually subsided, and the newly rising alchemist took a breath and sighed:
"Even so, because of my junior fellow apprentice Shao Weng, there may still be some misunderstandings between me and the Crown Prince. Is there any way to resolve the situation?"

Speaking of which.

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly bowed to Gongsun Qing and said, "Brother, don't worry. If you can help me get rid of this disaster, you will be rewarded handsomely!"

Luan Da specially emphasized the word "thick".

The reason he came today was to seek advice from Gongsun Qing. This man was able to thrive in Chang'an, so it was inevitable that he would come across the Prince's Palace during his visit.

Luan Da wanted to know if there was any way to live in harmony with the Crown Prince's Palace when they would see each other every day.

Have it?

Have!
But Gongsun Qing didn't want to tell him.

Most things in the world can indeed be settled with money, but in the city of Chang'an, money alone is not enough.

It also depends on relationships, connections, and even power.

The way for Gongsun Dafu to get along well with the Crown Prince's Palace is difficult to say, but also simple to say. There is no other way.

Join the Grand Marshal and General Wei Qing!

A few days ago, the general got married, and Gongsun Qing went to great lengths to get a top-quality horse. Although it was not as good as the fine Western breed given by the prince, it was not bad either.

Afterwards, he was praised by the general.

The relationships that Gongsun Qing had cultivated were not built overnight, nor could they be measured by money. No matter how much money Luan Da offered him, Gongsun Qing would not be tempted, and he would not tell the other party what he had done.

the reason is simple.

Or it would fall on that young man. Who could guarantee that if he recommended Luan Da to the general, the general, who is the uncle of the prince, would not be angry?
And then, it involves yourself?

Even though this possibility is extremely small, Gongsun Qing will not take the risk. The connections with the general are priceless!

With a thought in mind, Gongsun Qing's expression changed. He shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"It's difficult to ease the tension with the Crown Prince's Palace!"

"Junior brother, you don't know that ever since I caught the eye of His Majesty and became the Zhongsan Doctor, I have been careful with my words and actions every day, fearing that I would offend the Crown Prince and bring about a disaster that would kill me."

“I have been walking on thin ice until now, relying on only one secret.”

"Oh?" Luan Da looked surprised and asked hurriedly, "I hope you can give me some advice, brother!"

"I have only one strategy." Gongsun Qing raised a finger.

"avoid!"

In order to make Luan Da feel that his money was not wasted, Gongsun Qing performed as he said. He said in a serious and solemn voice:

"Junior brother, you have been in Jiaodong for a long time. You don't know the current situation in Chang'an, let alone how powerful the person in the Crown Prince's Palace is!"

"The Crown Prince is getting older, and His Majesty is also willing to give up his power. Are you clear about the arrangements for the kings' meeting in winter?"

Luan naturally knows.

After the King of Jiaodong returned to his fiefdom from Chang'an, he became suspicious for several days, beating and killing palace maids at will, and getting furious at the slightest sign of trouble.

It was also for this reason that the relationship between King Jiaodong and Queen Kang deteriorated rapidly, and then Luan Dashou was recommended.

As a former member of the Jiaodong royal palace, he knew this very well.

"Last time, Your Majesty made the kings suffer so much in order to take back the power of coinage from the counties and kingdoms. Do you know who has been given the power now?"

Without waiting for Luan Da to ask, Gongsun Qing asked and answered himself:

"Give it to the prince!"

Upon hearing this, Luan Da's face showed hidden worry. He was about to speak, but Gongsun Qing didn't finish his words and lowered his voice and said:

"There are two Grand Marshals in the court. One is the prince's uncle, and the other is the prince's cousin. The Imperial Censor who is not the prime minister but is better than the prime minister is the former prince's tutor."

"Just recently, the Longxi Li family also became the prince's helper!"

"With such a huge influence, the Crown Prince doesn't like us, and he doesn't even bother to make friends with us. What should I do?" Gongsun Qing let out a long sigh and said in a hoarse voice:

"You can only avoid it!"

This……

Luan Da frowned when he heard this. Doesn’t he want to avoid it?
Reality doesn’t allow it!

His Majesty had been summoning him to the palace recently. What should he do if he was caught by the Crown Prince? It was said that his junior fellow apprentice Shao Weng was blocked by the Crown Prince in Weiyang Palace and was murdered.

If his official position is stable in the future, Gongsun Qing's avoidance strategy may be feasible, but Luan Da now enters the palace every few days.

If you walk on the road too much at night, you are bound to encounter ghosts!

Luan Da felt uneasy. He thought for a while and then told Gongsun Qing about the method he had been thinking about for a long time to break the calamity, a method that would solve the problem once and for all.

"Brother, I am extremely proficient in my own art, and it is no problem for me to subdue the emperor. I wonder..." Luan Da asked tentatively:

"Can I go straight into the Crown Prince's palace and use my magic to shock the Crown Prince!?"

cough!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Qing, who was drinking tea, suddenly coughed and almost spit out the tea in his mouth. Using magic to shock... shock the prince?
Gongsun Qing had to admit that he was shocked. He put down his teacup, looked at his new junior brother again with a surprised look.

Yes, think of things that ordinary people dare not think of.

It's a talent!

In the future you will either become extremely rich and powerful, or die suddenly.

Gongsun Qing, who had no ambition and only wanted a rich and stable life, asked himself that he was not worthy of associating with such people.

At this moment, Doctor Gongsun suddenly stood up, stamped his feet and said:
"broken!"

"I have a pill in my furnace and forgot about it. General Wuli, please sit still. I will be back soon!"

This time, I will definitely not come back...
