The three provinces and six ministries were reporting on the matter, and Gu Qing kept watching Li Er's complexion.

The court will be very calm. Occasionally, a few cold winds will blow outside the Tai Chi Palace. Listening to the sound of the wind, Gu Qing also listens to Wang Qin and Li Er's order.

"Five days later, New Year's Eve, your Majesty will order you to rest for half a month, and there will be no curfew in Chang'an City for half a month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers thanked again.

At the end of the year, the three provinces and six ministries were very leisurely. The busiest time was when planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. Gu Qing shrank his neck and walked out of Tai Chi Palace, and came to the Secretariat all the way to the busy young officials here, "All of them are on vacation for half a month, don't be busy, you should take a break, I will be anxious if I am working, I won't pay you overtime."

Hearing the words, the officials of the Shangshu Province put down their things.

"Come on." Gu Qing took out a large stack of red envelopes from his arms, "Get one by one, and each one has it."

The officials in the Shangshu Province were hesitant when they held Gu Qing's red envelopes.

"I don't have much money, I just want to be a good luck in my life next year and have a prosperous official career." Gu Qing said to them while distributing red envelopes.

Xu Jingzong also stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the Marquis for making great contributions again."

"Congratulations to the Marquis." Li Yi's mansion also stepped forward.

"I've worked hard these days." Gu Qing took out two relatively large red envelopes, "I don't have much money, so the money will be a festive celebration. During these days when I'm not in the Secretariat, I'll rely on you two to preside over the work here."

"This is what we should do." Xu Jingzong said.

"It is said that Your Majesty has never received this reward for the marquis?" Li Yifu said in confusion.

"It's true." Gu Qing sat in the Secretariat and said, "Your Majesty asked me to make my own choice, huh? Where are those Zhang and the other two?"

"That Zhang San didn't come to the Shangshu Province a few days ago." Xu Jingzong whispered, "Just a few days ago, many corpses were found on Bashang in Dali Temple. It is said that a ranger was causing trouble. Zhang San has never been there since that incident."

It seems that it is related to the monk's affairs, so Gu Qing didn't plan to continue asking, "This Shangshu may not last long."

The faces of Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong changed together. Everyone knew that this time, Gu Qing was likely to no longer be in the position of Shangshuling after he made contributions in Persia.

"I have always thought about who should do this position in Shangshuling." Gu Qing said Youyou.

Xu Jingzong was very attentive and put a cup of tea in front of Gu Qing, "Mr. Gu, please have tea."

Li Yifu also brought a pot of pastry on the side, "Please use it by Marquis Gu."

"I know you both want to sit in this position." Gu Qing whispered, "But this Shangshu Province cannot have two Shangshu Ling. After the rest is over, next year, you must consider whether you want to be the Shangshu Ling, and the opportunity will not wait for anyone."

"Thank you, Marquis, for your advice."

Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu nodded and answered in unison.

"I'll go back first, you can go back early, as the New Year is coming soon, and we'll get together with our family more than once." Gu Qing said and left.

Only Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were left in the Shangshu Province.

"I don't know if I will become the Minister of the Shangshu." Xu Jingzong said with a smile.

"It's not decided yet." Li Yifu also said.

Walking on Zhuque Street, Gu Qing was in a good mood. From a distance, he saw that the Fang family seemed to have just returned. No wonder Fang Xuanling didn't come to court today, but turned out to be out.

"Gu Qing." Fang Yizhi also discovered Gu Qing, "We are going to worship our ancestors today."

"No wonder, I see the teacher didn't go to court." Gu Qing also saw Fang Yiai, and this guy has now grown a beard.

Fang Yizhi pulled Gu Qing aside, "I heard my father say several times. Gu Qing, are you going to inherit my father's mantle?"

"Yes, I'm always unsure about it when I say that." Gu Qing hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Gu Qing didn't want to tell Fang Yizhi what Li Chengqian had said to him that day, but just said, "Maybe I'm used to being lazy. I suddenly want to take on such a big gangster, and I always feel a little uncomfortable."

"It's good to be used to it." Fang Yizhi comforted Gu Qing, "I'm very happy that you can inherit your father's mantle."

"Actually, I have never understood why you didn't enter the court to become an official."

"I have thought about this question, and I dare not ask my father. My father never wanted me to be an official in the court." Fang Yi looked straight at the door of his house, Fang Yiai was moving things, "I was raised by my father. Maybe my father had seen it long ago that I am not the same piece of official position, and my eldest son wants to inherit the title. Perhaps that's why my father hopes that our Fang family can withdraw from the court in the future."

"It's pretty good." Gu Qing said to Fang Yizhi, "You are upright and you are intrigued by others in the court. It's really not suitable for someone like you."

"Hahaha." Fang Yizhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Perhaps a person who is sleek like you is more suitable for the court. No one is perfect. Although you have no desire for power, you can handle the relationship between various people well."

"Gu Qing." Fang Yiai saw Gu Qing smiling and walked over, "Why are you here? We are going to worship our ancestors, are you going?"

Fang Yi stared at his younger brother, "My brother is unrestrained, don't be surprised."

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Qing waved his hand and left.

"Brother? What's wrong?" Fang Yiai was puzzled.

"Since I met me, he has been alone, and it seems that Gu Qing has no relatives." Fang Yizhi whispered to his younger brother.

"Yeah." Fang Yiai also knew that she said the wrong thing and kept nodding.

To worship ancestors, Gu Qing walked out of Chang'an and looked back at the tall Chang'an City. When he came to the times, he would go to find his relatives. He could not find his ancestors anywhere. His parents and relatives could only stay in his mind. In fact, he envied Fang Yizhi and his ancestors who could worship him.

I was a little sad inexplicably thinking, and when I thought about it carefully, I now have relatives and family, this is enough. Sun Simiao brought himself out of the mountains and came to this land. Wu Mei gave him a home and had roots in this era.

When he returned home, Wu Mei was talking to her father's spiritual position in the ancestral hall at home. There was no other spiritual position in the Gu Family Ancestral Hall, and the only spiritual position was Wu Mei's father.

Gu Qing looked at his eldest son Gu Xiao playing with building blocks.

Gu Xiao also looked at Gu Qing in confusion and said Daddy.
