"Your Majesty said something about the money shop. I think I should say a few more words." Pei Xingjian bowed and said.

"But it's okay." Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xingjian.

"Your Majesty, if the money house is opened, how can Gu Qing put the money into the money house?" Pei Xingjian said.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said calmly, "I know Gu Qing will definitely hesitate, so Xu Jingzong is the bargaining chip for the negotiations between me and Gu Qing."

"Your Majesty, I think Gu Qing will not submit to Xu Jingzong."

"How can I see it?" Li Chengqian asked back.

Pei Xingjian thought for a while and replied, "The thing between Gu Qing and His Majesty is whether Gu Qing will put money into the money shop. In fact, His Majesty is more anxious than Gu Qing. For Gu Qing, there are some silver and money. Once the southeast wind blows, a large number of goods will enter the Central Plains as soon as the sea trade ship comes back, and there will be more silver and money. Now Gu Qing believes that the branch in Japan has been established for half a year. Now I think there are already a lot of goods loading. Rather than saying that most of the Central Plains business is a burden to Gu Qing, it is not an urgent need for Gu Qing."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian hesitated.

Pei Xingjian said again, "But for the court and His Majesty, the establishment of the money house is inseparable from Gu Qing's silver and money. If Gu Qing did not keep putting the money in the money house, the money house would not last long, and Gu Qing's silver and money could be exchanged for silver cakes. Once Gu Qing did this, there would be a problem with the trade in the entire Central Plains. Once Gu Qing was unstable, it would cause a situation where money was worthless. This is what we need to guard against."

"You continue." Li Chengqian lifted his spirits.

Pei Xingjian said again, "Xu Jingzong is not your bargaining chip. For Gu Qing, Xu Jingzong is not his weakness. Betting Xu Jingzong cannot threaten Gu Qing, which may also be a reason why Gu Qing does not support Your Majesty. After all, Xu Jingzong's crimes are indeed not to die. Please give your Majesty a clear explanation."

Li Chengqian nodded and said to the little eunuch beside him, "Transfer my will and let Dali Temple release Xu Jingzong immediately."

"Yes." The little eunuch went to do it immediately.

Wang Jin looked at the scene in surprise. Pei Xingjian actually moved Li Chengqian in a few words. Wang Jin thought to himself that Pei Xingjian, Di Renjie, and his own way of persuading Li Chengqian was different. From Li Chengqian's perspective, he explained the interests. Is Pei Xingjian's way of speaking very high?

Wang Jin observed Xu Jingzong, a young boy under twenty years old, who would definitely be in a high position in the future.

Li Chengqian whispered to Pei Xingjian, "Xu Jingzong will not die, and I cannot let him continue to stay in the court. The position of Shangshu Ling will be vacant. If Pei Xingjian can let Gu Qing put money in the money shop, the position of Shangshu Ling will be yours."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Xingjian said loudly.

"Don't thank me, Chu Suiliang has introduced you to me. You are a rare talent. You have made a lot of contributions from the Chang'an Order to the Ministry of War until now. In fact, you can be promoted long ago, but I want to see you more." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "If there is nothing else, you can step down."

"I'm leaving."

Pei Xingjian didn't have much joyful smile after leaving. After all, he was just an imperial power trick. Li Chengqian wanted to use himself and would continue to use it. Li Chengqian needed someone to check and balance Gu Qing, and to win over himself and make himself the Shangshu Ling for the sake of the future.

Gu Qing's influence will not be lost just because he is not a prime minister. Li Chengqian made himself the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling to give him a reassurance. He did not trust Chu Suiliang and Li Chengqian. He was also Li Chengqian's second choice. In addition to Chu Suiliang, Gu Qing deposited money in the bank and could become the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling himself. Once he became the Secretary of the Shangshu Ling, the second thing Li Chengqian asked him to do was to force Gu Qing to abdicate.

Dali Temple soon received the order. Li Chengqian, who thought that Xu Jingzong would not die for the court and ordered Dali Temple to release people, and Xu Jingzong would not be allowed to enter the court again for his entire life.

This incident caused quite a stir in the market, and the so-called Yumen Pass rebellion was explained by a misunderstanding.

Xu Jingzong walked out of Dali Temple step by step and walked to the sun and saw Li Yi Mansion standing not far away.

The two met and smiled. Li Yi's mansion stepped forward and said to Xu Jingzong, "I have resigned. I am tired of the days in the court."

Xu Jingzong patted Li Yifu's shoulder and said, "I knew that Mr. Gu would not help me."

"I heard that this time Pei Xingjian persuaded His Majesty to let you go." Li Yifu whispered.

"Could it be..." Xu Jingzong thought about it, thinking that Shangguan Yi and others were students of the first academy imperial examination, and among the latest new officials of the Zhenguan dynasty, Pei Xingjian also came from the academy, and Shangguan Yi was also a little clear in his heart, and nodded and said, "After all, Mr. Gu helped us."

"You mean Pei Xingjian is Gu Houye's person."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Who knows?"

"Let's go, let's go see Mr. Gu together." Li Yifu said.

The two walked side by side, and a servant stopped them and said, "Do you dare to ask if you are Xu Jingzong and Li Yi Mansion?"

"Who are you?" Li Yifu looked at the blocker and was puzzled.

The other party smiled and said, "I am a servant in the Cheng family tavern. Are you going to meet the prime minister?"

"You..." Xu Jingzong was surprised how the other party knew.

The servant smiled slightly and continued, "Don't be surprised, two people have just left the court. His Highness King Jin already knows that. His Highness King Jin invites them to the Cheng family's tavern to greet them, and they have a long life and there are still many ways to go, please."

Your Highness, King of Jin?

Xu Jingzong became more and more confused. What did His Highness King Jin do to see him? Could it be that he could have something to do with His Highness King Jin?

When he arrived at the Cheng family's tavern, Xu Jingzong looked at the bustling in the tavern and followed the servant all the way to a quiet room on the second floor. He opened the door and saw Li Zhi.

"I've seen His Highness, King of Jin."

The two saluted together.

"No need to be polite, please sit down." Li Zhi smiled and signaled the servant to close the door.

"Your Highness King Jin is this..." Xu Jingzong asked.
