After waiting for more than a moment, the discussion came to an end.

Then several purple-robed officials came out of the Zichen Hall one after another.

When he saw Pei Shaoqing, several purple-robed officials held their feet and saluted with their hands.

Now everyone knows that although Pei Shaoqing is white, just because he presents an unprecedented auspicious auspicious thing, his future prospects are already limitless.

What's more, this young man himself is a means.

This can be seen from his rescue of Princess Taiping.

Therefore, it is possible to rule over the Tang Dynasty in time.

Facing such a young upstart, no one dares to neglect.

What does it mean? If you don’t plan for yourself, you have to plan for your descendants, right?

Seeing a group of purple robes saluting him, Pei Shaoqing quickly returned the salute. At this time, you should not be exaggerated and you must be low-key.

In the future, if you want to spend a lot of money on the Tang Dynasty, you must have a good relationship with these officials, so you must be as thoughtful as possible. Anyway, this will not cost much money.

Why not do such a cheap and easy thing?

After the ceremony, Gao Lingsong stood up and signaled that Pei Shaoqing could meet him.

After entering the hall, Pei Shaoqing found that there were actually three purple robes present.

Moreover, he basically knew all these three purple robes, one was the prince's tutor and the minister Zuo Pushe Liu Rengui, the other was the secretary Xue Yuanchao, and the other was his family, Pei Yan, the minister of the Shizhong.

These three are the current first, second and third auxiliary, and third auxiliary of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Zetian also changed into regular clothes, wearing a round-necked shirt and a squid.

"The grass people pay homage to the queen." Pei Shaoqing bowed to the ground as usual.

"Flat." Wu Zetian waved his hand casually.

He asked again: "Has the Emperor summoned you just now?"

"Yes." Pei Shaoqing responded honestly.

Wu Zetian: "What did the Emperor tell you?"

Pei Shaoqing: "I asked Caomin what he was from and then encouraged Caomin a few words, but Caomin is lazy and is afraid he will let down the emperor's kindness."

Pei Shaoqing said something.

Wu Zetian glanced at Pei Shaoqing deeply.

Obviously, Wu Zetian understood Pei Shaoqing's implications.

At this moment, Wu Zetian said again: "You have made great contributions to the Wenqu Star Lord this time, but there is no precedent for such a thing since ancient times, and the court doesn't know how to reward you."

"So, I want to hear your opinions before rewarding."

"I dare not." Pei Shaoqing hurriedly said, "How dare the people of Cao dare to be greedy for the achievements of heaven."

"Tell me." Wu Zetian said sneered, "What reward do you want?"

Pei Shaoqing felt that it would be too pretentious to refuse at this time. After all, this matter is different from saving Princess Taiping. Saving Princess Taiping can only be considered as atonement for his sins, but the matter of offering auspiciousness is a solid merit.

What's more, he himself is not really without desires, he still has something to ask for.

Pei Shaoqing said now: "Since this is the case, it is better for the Queen of Heaven to give Caomin the name of the imperial merchant."

"Imperial Shang?" Wu Zetian was stunned.

Liu Rengui and the other two also looked at each other.

They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't think of this.

Wu Zetian said in confusion: "Why do you want to be an imperial merchant?"

Pei Shaoqing thought to himself, aren’t this nonsense?

Of course, it is because the royal merchants have privileges and it is easy to make money.

But I definitely can't say that, otherwise I will definitely be done.

"Because Caomin wants to share the worries of the queen." Pei Shaoqing said, "After just now, Caomin found that many palaces have been in disrepair, so the national treasury costs are insufficient?"

"In recent years, the national treasury cost has been insufficient, especially in the western and northern borders, which has been used for many years, which has consumed a lot." Wu Zetian did not deny it, and then said, "But how much money can you make by relying on you alone? How dare you say vainly to share your worries for the orphans?"

"The Queen of Heaven underestimates people, right?" Pei Shaoqing said casually, "If the Queen of Heaven can give Caomin the imperial merchant name, the more Caomins will not dare to say that it will be more. It is probably no problem to pay one or two million guan a year, and it is very likely that it will be possible to support one or two guards and soldiers."

Pei Shaoqing is really not bragging, he is really sure.

Because the commercial potential of Datang is extremely huge.

And it has not been developed at all.

Wu Zetian was stunned on the imperial throne.

One or two million yuan a year?

The three purple robes below were also dumbfounded.

Immediately, Liu Rengui burst into laughter.

Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan also smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

Young people really don’t know how rich the world is. Is money so easy to make?

In addition to physical objects such as cloth, silk, cotton and corn, the Tang Dynasty treasury only earned 2 million guan a year.

"I'm so arrogant." Wu Zetian didn't take this seriously at all. He shook his head and asked again, "You really just want to be an official in the name of the imperial merchants, and don't want to be an official, and don't ask for any other rewards?"

"Caomin does not want to be an official," Pei Shaoqing said, "As for other rewards, as long as the Queen of Heaven gives Caomin the imperial merchants, and earns a lot of money, what kind of rare treasures can't be bought by Caomin?"

"So the grass people really don't care about these things. The grass people only seek the name of the imperial merchants."

"The grass people just want to share the worries of the queen, the Tang Dynasty, and seek welfare for hundreds of millions of people in the world."

"You are ambitious." Wu Zetian snorted and asked three purple robes again, "I wonder what the three elders are thinking?"

Liu Rengui shook his head and said, "If you have merit, you should reward him. You may not give him any official position, but you still need to give him a free official position. You might as well give him a sixth-rank prime minister and then let him go to the Imperial College to study."

Xue Yuanchao said: "I also agree with what Master Liu Ge Lao said."

Pei Yan insisted on his own opinion: "I think it should be appointed as an official."

"And the grade from the sixth grade is too low."

"The Queen of Heaven has issued an imperial edict, and ordered the Secretary and the Hanlin Academy to copy and organize the poems of heaven presented by Wenqu Xingjun."

"I think it is better to give Pei Xiaolangjun a writer or secretary to the fifth rank."

"This time, Pei Xiaolangjun can also take on the responsibility of copying and sorting out the poems of heaven."

"No, no, no, the grass people are not the material for being an official." Pei Shaoqing quickly refused, "The three cabinet masters have received the kindness of their hearts, but whether they are officials or scattered officials, the grass people are not the material."

Wu Zetian did not take Pei Shaoqing's refusal seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Zetian said: "That's it, I will teach you the sixth-grade work Zuolang, and then I will teach you the fiveth-grade work to ask for a doctor. After sorting out and copying the poems of heaven, I will go to Hongwenguan to study."

"Queen of Heaven." Pei Shaoqing was anxious, "Caomin doesn't want to be an official."

"What?" Wu Zetian frowned and said, "I think the official rank is low?"

"That's not what it means." Pei Shaoqing said, "Caomin really doesn't want to be an official."

Hearing this, Liu Rengui and the other three secretly criticized it. This is amazing. Others have sharpened their heads and want to be an official. This person is better, but he doesn't want to be a sixth-rank official.

And it's not like being fake.

Seeing Pei Shaoqing resign, Wu Zetian suddenly became a little angry.

"You are so evading as an official?" Wu Zetian said, "Are you worried about something?"
