Seeing that what Yang Kai wrote was the three words Shaolin Temple, the three of them had different expressions. They were thoughtful, Yu Yi suddenly realized, while Shi Xuanming frowned.

After a brief pause, he opened his mouth and said, "Shaolin Temple is a master of Zen Buddhism, and there are many masters in the temple. Although Master Tongchen led the army to go on an expedition, although he suffered many setbacks, it was not because his skills were inferior to others, but because the eminent Buddhist monks had a kind-hearted nature and were particular about marching and fighting.

Soldiers never tire of deceit. Earlier, Master Zhang took over Master Tongchen's east-route troops, and a group of eminent monks from Shaolin Temple have also returned to the temple."

"What I'm worried about now is that I can't invite them," Yang Kai said, "Buddhist disciples are indifferent by nature and have nothing to do with the world. The previous time when Master Tongchen led the army to go on an expedition, it was because he was chased away by the court, so he finally got rid of this hot problem.

Yam, they will definitely not make the same mistake again."

"No, no, no, my idea is exactly the opposite of yours," he waved his hands repeatedly, "I think they will definitely agree to help. The reason is also very simple. In the previous crusade against Sun Ru, the soldiers and horses led by the Shaolin Temple were defeated repeatedly.

The reputation of Shaolin Temple has been seriously damaged. They may not care about their personal face, but they will definitely care about the reputation of Shaolin Temple. The battle at Gupo Mountain is an excellent opportunity for them to restore their reputation."

After saying that, Yu nodded in agreement, "What the prince said makes sense."

When several people were talking, Shi Xuanming didn't answer. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he just ate watermelon. Knowing that Shi Xuanming was kicked out of the Shaolin Temple, he always had a grudge in his heart, so he turned to look at him, "What's your opinion?"

Woolen cloth?"

"You can just discuss it, I don't have any objections." Shi Xuanming shook his head.

"Do you want to go back to Shaolin Temple?" He asked casually, "If you want to return to the temple, I will ask you for an imperial edict."

"It's all over." Shi Xuanming shook his head sadly.

Seeing Shi Xuanming's expression, he knew what he was doing, so he didn't ask any more questions, but made the final decision, "I will go to court tomorrow morning. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, I have to ask for the imperial edict to be carried with me. If the imperial edict is revealed directly, it will be powerful."

People think it's difficult for them, so I'm going to be polite first and then fight. If it doesn't work, then I can only reveal the imperial edict and force them out of the mountain."

After saying this, Yang Kai and Yu Yijin both nodded, while Shi Xuanming remained silent.

"This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked," he added. "The Japanese pirates may have spies in Chang'an. We cannot let them know that we have been to Songshan."

Yu nodded and said, "I have been to Shaolin Temple before. Whenever you want to go, I can send you there."

"Okay," he said, "You guys have been running around a lot recently. It's hard to come back. Take the opportunity to have a rest and deal with any personal matters."

While several people were talking, the housekeeper arrived. He had been entrusted with helping to buy tonic medicine during the day, and this time the housekeeper was here to deliver the medicine.

There was a ready-made stove for decoction in the room. After the housekeeper left, the group of people made a fire to cook the medicine directly outside the house. At the same time, they ate melon and chatted, enjoying the hard-earned short-term peace.

After the medicinal soup was cooked, the three of them went back to their residences. After drinking the medicine, they went to the stables for a walk, and then returned to the room to lie down and rest.

Get up early the next day, dress up and go to court. Although Yang Kai was not asked to go with him before, Yang Kai still spontaneously accompanied him. Datou must have returned, because Miss Bai's call came from his courtyard.

Being an official is actually quite tiring. Just getting up early every morning to go to court is quite tiring. On the way, you have to nod and bow to say hello to those who are older than you. After entering the palace, you have to stand still for an hour.

Don’t think that the morning pilgrimage only lasts for a quarter of an hour or two. Most of the time, the morning pilgrimage lasts for more than half an hour.

The emperor did not hide his concern and preference for him at all. Seeing him

He went to court with his injury and immediately ordered the eunuch to give him a seat. However, after thanking him, he did not sit down, but kept standing. It was the emperor's attitude to give him a seat. If he sat down in a big way, it would be a big deal. Not only the courtiers were jealous, but also the emperor.

It will also make you feel uncomfortable.

The three provinces, six ministries and each bureau and government office all have to report things when they go to court. If there are big things, they will report big things, and if there are no big things, they will talk about small things. You can't have a yamen doing nothing all day long. Wouldn't it be like a corpse?

.

Most of the things that are being reported by various government offices are urgent problems that need to be solved. In fact, most of the problems can be solved with money. However, the court has no money at the moment. In fact, the officials of various departments also know that what they say is in vain, even if they say it.

Even the Emperor can't solve it, but what needs to be said needs to be said. Having said that, if the Emperor can't solve it, it's the Emperor's problem. If something goes wrong, it's your own problem.

He was not in a hurry to speak out. He had been away from the court for a long time, and he needed to have a general understanding of the various issues currently facing the court through the reports reported by officials in various departments.

The emperor looked at the other officials from time to time while they were performing their duties, knowing that the emperor wanted him to speak and what the emperor wanted him to say, but it was not until the morning court was about to end that he bowed and went out.

The first thing he started was to repay the arrears of salaries to the court officials. The salaries of the capital officials and local officials had been in arrears for a long time. As the saying goes, a strong general does not need hungry soldiers. Officials at all levels must be stabilized first, otherwise they will surely

He would slack off on his errands. The Ministry of Revenue had been short of money before, but now Luoyang has shipped back 20 million taels. The confiscated property of officials involved in the rebellion also cost more than 10 million taels of silver. The officials' salaries must be replenished as soon as possible.

Seeing the opening of the mouth, the civil and military officials in the court were overjoyed, because they knew that the emperor obeyed his words, and as long as he opened his mouth, the emperor would definitely comply. Facts have proved that what they thought was indeed correct. After speaking, the emperor immediately obeyed.

The second thing to start with is Ji Guo

Gong Ni Zhuo learned that the Tang Dynasty was short of rice, so he had raised 80 million loads of various rice grains from the Western Regions and was shipping them in batches. Since Qingyang guarded the east-west arterial road, the rice grains raised by Ji Guo Gong could be transported smoothly.

Chang'an specially requested to mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses from Shuzhou, and he would personally take command to recapture Qingyang.

The memorial made the emperor very embarrassed, because Ni Zhuo was actually forced to leave by him. However, the emperor naturally did not show it in public. He just praised Ni Zhuo and then agreed to take command of him.

The happiest thing was the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, because one load weighed more than one hundred kilograms, and eighty million load was a very scary figure, which was enough to fill the national treasury and provide relief to the victims.

The third thing he started to do was to ask for merit and title for Long Haotian. Not only did Long Haotian serve in suppressing the rebellion, he also set an example after pacifying Xichuan. He led officials in Xichuan to donate all their property to the court for disaster relief and military supplies.

Since Xichuan has just been pacified, it is not appropriate for the soldiers and horses from the western expedition to immediately return to the court. It is recommended that Long Haotian be granted the title of Prince of Xichuan and lead his troops to temporarily stay in Xichuan to eliminate banditry and stabilize the people's hearts.

The reason why the emperor watched frequently was because he hoped that he would mention this matter, because he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He could not break the earth and make him king just because of how much money Long Haotian gave to the court. Otherwise, he would become a faint king who sells his official position and takes the initiative to do so.

Long Haotian's request for credit and rewards is equivalent to giving him a big step up, which can preserve the emperor's face to the maximum extent.

Although the proposal was exactly what he wanted, the emperor still pretended to think deeply in front of all the civil and military officials, and hesitated for a moment before agreeing to what he said.

Hearing the emperor's accurate performance, he secretly sighed. He knew very well what his move meant. He had to take the blame for this big blame again. Although on the surface it was said that Long Haotian was temporarily staying in Xichuan, in fact, this guy would be here in the future.
