Chapter 49

The governments of Menxia and Secretariat were not in the imperial city, but were located in the Daming Palace.

Xue Guan, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, walked into the direct room of the Zhongshuling and bowed to Xue Yuanchao to the ground: "Xue Guan, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, please pay homage to the Zhongshuling."

"Hey, why do you and my brother need so much politeness?" Xue Yuanchao stepped forward and helped Xue Guan up.

Xue Yuanchao and Xue Guan both came from the Xue family in Hedong. They are not only of the same clan but also of the same generation. They are cousins ​​who have not yet had five cousins. In addition, they are high-ranking officials in the court, so they have a very close relationship.

By the way, the Xue family in Hedong is one of the old Guanlong nobles.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the power of the old Guanlong nobles was no longer as powerful as before.

However, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the old Guanlong nobles resurrected again.

After the greetings, Xue Guan asked, "You know what happened last night, brother, right?"

"I already know." Xue Yuanchao nodded, "Yaoer and Shaoer are becoming more and more dissatisfied. They actually fought with someone for a brothel woman in Pingkangfang."

"The key is that I actually lost." Xue Guan said in a hatred.

"Not that." Xue Yuanchao said, "I really lost all the face of our Fenyin Xue family."

Xue Guan said again: "Brother, you can't just forget about this, otherwise other families would think that our Xue family is easy to bully, and they would ride on our Xue family to act as a mighty man."

"Just talking about Pei Yan, he has become more and more arrogant recently."

"I actually made a statement and wanted to buy my old house in Shengyefang."

Xue Yuanchao was silent for a moment and said, "Pei Yan is now in the Holy Family, so you can give it to him in the old house of Shengyefang."

"Brother!" Xue Guan said anxiously when he heard this, "Young brother in Shengyefang can give up Pei Yan, but Pei Shaoqing is the palace to tease Princess Taiping. Should my Xue family also endure it?"

"The ancients said that the hatred of killing father and taking his wife is irreconcilable!"

"How can Pei Shaoqing endure my Xue family's daughter-in-law?"

"Be careful." Xue Yuanchao said with a frown, "About the marriage between Shaoer and Princess Taiping, my Xue family has not yet accepted the Tian family's marriage. How can I take away my wife? This is inappropriate."

Xue Guan said: "Although this matter has not been accepted yet, the Emperor and the Queen intend to conquer Princess Taiping and Shaoer. This matter is already known to everyone in the court and the public."

"Even if I have performed the three books and six rituals, I still regret the marriage, let alone just verbally agree?" Xue Yuanchao said, "Don't mention this matter again."

Xue Guan said unhappily: "Then, let it go?"

"Of course, you can't just forget it." Xue Yuanchao said in a dark voice, "But Pei Shaoqing is now the messenger of the Wenqu Star Lord, and he is also a big celebrity in front of the queen. You can't fight head-on."

Xue Guan's expression moved and asked, "What does brother mean?"

"I'll tell you something." Xue Yuanchao whispered, "Beijing court today, Pei Shaoqing took on something. This matter is his cause of disaster and death!"

"What's the matter?" Xue Guan asked anxiously.

Xue Yuanchao talked about the incident that happened in Zichen Palace again.

"Pei Shaoqing has presented a thread-bound book again?" Xue Guan said, "Have you ever seen this thread-bound book?"

"No, but this book is not the point." Xue Yuanchao said, "The key point is that Pei Shaoqing promised the Queen that he would copy forty thousand auspicious poems within three months!"

Xue Guan said: "So brother means we will ruin this matter?"

Xue Yuanchao then gave Xue Guan a dissatisfied glance. How did you get to be a third-grade person?

"Of course, our Xue family cannot come forward." Xue Yuanchao said, "Brother, you think, this matter was originally handled by Wu Chengsi. Now that Pei Shaoqing has ruined his affairs, can he not hold a grudge?"

"I understand!" Xue Guan suddenly realized, "I have to let Wu Chengsi come forward."

"Yes." Xue Yuanchao said, "Let Wu Chengsi come forward and say hello to the transcription history of the Secretary-General and the Hanlin Academy, so that Pei Shaoqing will not find enough transcription officials and will not be able to complete his mission within three months."

Xue Guan then said, "When the queen blames her, he will suffer."

"At that time, it may not be just the blame for the queen." Xue Yuanchao said.

When you reach Xue Yuanchao's height, you can see the open and secret struggle between the Emperor and the Queen.

Pei Shaoqing has been deeply involved in the political struggle between the two saints, and he often ends up being killed by the clan.

"Brother is worthy of being a brother, and his skills are brilliant." Xue Guan praised and said in a dark voice, "Even if Pei Shaoqing sees through it, he will only find Wu Chengsi."

...

Imperial City, outside the gate of Taifu Temple.

Pei Shaoqing just received the advance payment of 30,000 guan.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Taifu Temple, Pei Shaoqing suddenly shivered.

Cui Erlang, who was accompanying him, asked with concern: "Dalang, have you caught a cold?"

"No." Pei Shaoqing touched his nose and said, "Erlang, I feel something bad is going to happen. Please be careful with your brothers."

Cui Erlang said confusedly: "What can be done?"

Qingxuan also shook his head. What can be done in the imperial city? Who dares to rob Tianjie?

Pei Shaoqing looked back at the carriage under the escort of more than a dozen guards behind him and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, be careful, the treasure sows are so touching."

Cui Erlang said in surprise: "Dalang, don't you come back with us?"

"You take the car back to Hanlin Academy first." Pei Shaoqing whispered to the Shaofu Supervisor across the street and said, "I have to go to the Shaofu Supervisor again, there is something to do."

Cui Erlang said oh, and no more questions.

Since childhood, Cui Erlang has only been able to do things in a silence.

Pei Shaoqing did whatever he asked him to do and never asked much.

At that moment, Cui Erlang brought a dozen guards to the Hanlin Academy with a cart, Gu Zi.

Pei Shaoqing and Qingxuan led their horses to the gate of Shaofu Supervisory, handed the horses to the gate and entered.

Qingxuan said curiously: "What does the Shaofu Supervisor's skills in charge of all craftsmen have to do with what you want to do?"

"You don't understand this." Pei Shaoqing said, "What I want to do has a lot to do with the Shaofu Supervisor. It's really not possible without the help of the Shaofu Supervisor. I don't know if the Shaofu Supervisor's supervisor is easy to talk to?"

"This should not be a problem." Qingxuan said, "The Shaofu Supervisor is your own family."

"Huh?" Pei Shaoqing said in surprise, "I heard from your tone that you know the supervisor of the Shaofu?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of his deeds." Qing Xuan said, "When he was the Minister of Revenue, he transported the horse manure from the six stables in the palace to farmers outside the city, and earned 200,000 guan a year!"

"I get 200,000 guan a year?" Pei Shaoqing said in surprise, "This is a talent!"

You should know that at this time, the annual tax on the Tang Dynasty was only 2 million yuan, which was one-tenth of the annual income.

"It's a pity that this matter was stopped by Master Liu, saying that it was spread. People even said that my Tang Dynasty royal family only knows how to sell horse manure." Qing Xuan smiled and said, "But Pei Feishu still moved to the Shaofu Supervisor for this."

"Pei Feishu?" Pei Shaoqing thought to himself that this name is quite interesting.
