While moving, the earrings do not shake and the hairpins do not move.
Good appearance!
Just looking at the posture of saluting made Chen Duan feel inexplicably noble.
"No need to be polite!"
Chen Duan nodded slightly, "Please sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Gu Qingcheng thanked him, then turned and came to the left side of Chen Duan and knelt down.
She raised her head slightly, neither appearing rude nor arrogant.
Gu Qingcheng always manages to strike the right balance.
But her angle just allowed Chen Duan to see her clearly.
"What a pretty little beauty!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Duan's eyes.
Everyone loves beauty.
Men also instinctively pursue beautiful women.
It's just a knee-jerk reaction.
But soon, Chen Duan calmed down.
As the King of Liang, second only to the emperor, Chen Duan has seen all kinds of beauties.
He will not be easily seduced by beauty.
Moreover, the little girl in front of me is too young. Although she is beautiful, she has not grown up yet.
The most important thing is that this is Gu Qing Gu Sanniang!
She is a woman who accompanied her grandfather to create a career in the wild land of Lingnan!
Even if Chen Duan didn't regard Gu Qingcheng as an opponent who could rival him, he wouldn't really regard her as a child!
Not to mention anything else, just her gaze at him from under the city wall and her calmness outside the mansion gate made Chen Duan realize: Gu Qing is not simple!
Before sitting down at the table, Yang Wei came close to Chen Duan and whispered a few words.
Chen Duan's eyes flickered.
"Internal and external troubles? Haha, exaggeration and mystification!"
Chen Duan was the King of Liang and had seen many "showy" scholars and strategists.
I also have a certain understanding of these people's routines.
The little girl in front of me, although still very young, has actually learned all these.
"Gu Sanniang, you've been in Guangcheng for half a day now. I wonder what you think of Guangcheng?"
Chen Duan was a military general, although he also read the classics of sages and looked like a Confucian general.
But deep down, he is still used to being straightforward.
Besides, he called Gu Qingcheng here this time just to cooperate with her.
Some polite words are unnecessary to say.
After the first two rounds of testing, Chen Duan was certain that Gu Qingcheng was not an ordinary woman.
Since the other party is unusual, there's no need to go around in circles according to the old routine.
"It looks like a flourishing scene, but in reality, there are undercurrents!"
When Gu Qingcheng saw Chen Duan asking the question, she told the truth.
Chen Duan: ...You are so young, yet you dare to say that!
"Oh? Undercurrents surge? Gu Sanniang, are you seeing things?"
Chen Duan leaned forward, with a hint of teasing in his deep eyes.
He seemed like an adult teasing a child.
Gu Qingcheng didn't take it seriously. Following her own pace, she didn't answer but asked, "Your Highness, you are governing Guangcheng according to the rules of governing the army, right?"
Before Chen Duan could answer, Gu Qingcheng said, "Well, it's like the soldiers at the city gate are guarding the barracks."
"Follow orders! Don't be afraid of power! Be strict."
Chen Duan raised his eyebrows. Oh no, the little girl is starting to complain in a roundabout way?
"Isn't it good to enforce discipline?"
Chen Duan was probably in a good mood, so he didn't continue kneeling. Instead, he changed his posture and leaned on the table.
The whole person looks a little lazy.
"Good! In the military camp, orders must be obeyed and discipline must be strict!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded approvingly.
Chen Duan was waiting for Gu Qingcheng to say "but".
Sure enough, I heard Gu Qingcheng say, "But Guangcheng is not a military camp!"
Military control and civilian control are different.
Military discipline requires strict enforcement of orders and clear distinctions between rewards and punishments;
When it comes to local governance, the principle is "laws are nothing but human feelings"!
Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish!
It is impossible to really "kill decisively".
Chen Duan was stunned for a moment: Guangcheng is not a military camp.
So, it’s not suitable to use the same method to govern the army?
Gu family's little girl, that's what you mean.
"Your Highness, I have heard that you are well-read and a rare scholar-general."
Gu Qingcheng seemed to change the subject, and before moving on to the next topic, she flattered Chen Duan a little.
Chen Duan: ...Although I know that the other party is flattering me, people still like to hear good words.
In particular, the one who praised herself as a "scholar-general" was a daughter of the prominent Gu family.
Not to mention the glorious history of the Gu family, just at present, Gu Qing’s grandfather was the former Minister of the Central Secretariat, and Gu Qing’s father was the former imperial consort and a famous scholar in the country!
The Gu family is a family of scholars and has produced many famous scholars.
It is pleasant to receive praise from the Gu family, even if it is just polite official flattery.
"Sanniang, you are so kind! I don't deserve it!"
Chen Duan's facial lines have become much softer.
Gu Qingcheng changed the subject and asked, "Your Highness is very knowledgeable. I believe he has read the Book of Han."
"Why did the Second Qin Emperor fall?"
Chen Duan: ...This topic seems too broad.
Moreover, he was a general feared by the emperor, but the little girl from the Gu family discussed the fall of a dynasty with him. It seemed that there was some imperial skill involved.
