Pei Nian felt uneasy when he saw this.

Thinking of the abnormal situation in Arabia these days, I couldn't help but say, "Is that lion trying to drag me here?"

Pei continued to look at the letter in his hand, and in the letter, Zhang Jiuling also told him about Zhang Guangyuan's request for help from Qinghai Lake.

At the same time, he also bluntly talked about the consequences of his help.

The king is a celebrity in the temple and the most trusted and important official in the court today (in the eyes of Zhang Jiuling, Gao Lishi is just an eunuch, and an eunuch is not an important official).

If you help, you may offend this current celebrity. Moreover, Pei is a foreign minister and interfere too much in the affairs in the court, which may have adverse effects.

Zhang Jiuling did not ask Pei to help, but told him about this matter.

Pei understands what his subordinate means.

Zhang Jiuling knew that if he had opened this mouth, he would not refuse with Pei's temperament.

However, in terms of the overall situation, Zhang said that this matter should be saved, but for Pei himself, it is harmful but not beneficial.

Because even if you save it, Zhang said that he would not be able to continue to enter the center of power.

This is such a reality when people leave and tea is cold, while trees fall and money scatter.

So Pei Jizhang said that not only does not get any benefits, but will make you feel sexy.

Therefore, Zhang Jiuling handed over the real choice to Pei, and let him decide whether to take action or not.

Pei hesitated for a while and asked someone to call Sun Zhou.

"You immediately divide some people into investigation for me. Wang, this person is loyal or traitor, be sure to find out. And if there is any special news in Chang'an recently, we will also investigate it together."

Sun Zhou frowned slightly and said, "I understand, I will make arrangements."

Pei also knew the reason. Since the beginning of the war, Sun Zhou was in charge of the Western Regions. All the Arab intelligence has shifted the focus to the West. He suddenly wanted to kill him to investigate the situation in Chang'an, which has certain shortcomings in manpower.

"I will write a letter to my wife and ask her to send Qingyu League to assist. With this local snake in the field, you can rest assured about the manpower."

Sun Zhou's brows were soothing and he whispered: "I understand, I'll do it now."

Pei thought for a while and decided to save Zhang Shuo.

Zhang said that it is not just a simple appearance, but also a generation of literary masters who have led the literary world for decades and have a great reputation.

He was safe at the Censorate, but it was easy to say that once he was punished, it would not be a trivial matter.

Shi Lin's writing punishment is likely to have a huge impact.

Now the Tang Dynasty is at a critical moment, there is no need to cause a political storm in vain.

However, he did not intend to take action himself, but instead went around and wrote a letter to Gao Lishi to see if he could help him.

If Gao Lishi is unwilling to help, he will think of another way.

Pei's letter was delivered to Chang'an Gao Lishi with great speed.

Gao Lishi looked a little tired, and for some reason, he was a little unrighteous. Looking at Pei’s letter, he frowned slightly and lowered his head to think deeply.

"Grandmaster!"

Wang Yiqifeng walked from a distance.

Wang still respects Gao Lishi very much.

Facing the two princes, the princes were called "Aweng". The king, like the prince's concubine, was called "Master".

Gao Lishi hid the letter and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Gao Lishi was also very kind to this important official who held ten important positions.

As for why there are ten?

It was not the eight that Zhang Guang said, because during the time when Zhang Guang asked Zhang Jiuling for help, Wang was promoted again.

The king quickly walked into the hall.

Li Longji sat high above with a worried look on his face. When he saw the arrival of the king, he felt happy at first, but then he felt a little reluctant to speak, and it was difficult to speak.

The king was very thoughtful, and first gave a big gift respectfully and said happily: "I have seen Your Majesty, and I have a good news to share with Your Majesty. I have been in charge of Taifu Temple for a long time, and after some reform, I have gained a lot. I chose 500 million yuan of money from renting money other than mediocre adjustments and presented it to the palace for Your Majesty to use."

Li Longji was overjoyed when he heard this.

The reason why he looked worried was because he had no money in the palace.

Don’t think that the emperor is arrogant and spend whatever he wants.

Of course, this is true for the tyrants in history, but the system of the Tang Dynasty has tended to be rationalized.

The treasury and the emperor's own treasury are separated, and Li Longji also receives his own salary like a courtier. All dispatches in the palace have a certain standard quota.

But this amount was set by Li Longji himself.

If Li Longji's small treasury is used up and he needs to dispatch the treasury's money, he needs to obtain the permission of the Minister of Finance.

When Li Longji ascended the throne, he advocated frugality and even stipulated that ministers under the third rank and those under the inner palace should not wear jewelry made of gold and jade, and dismissed the palace maids to save expenses and set the consumption amount to a very low level.

Later, because of the need to raise a pear garden, the consumption limit was changed many times, but it was within the scope of acceptance by the court officials. No one said anything, and he never misappropriated the money from the treasury.

But now Li Longji has found that his small treasury is not enough. This is the middle of the month, and there is still half a month left. How can I go on?

This penny will stump the hero, and even the emperor will worry about money.

The king was responsible for the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. Li Long basically wanted to embezzle the money from the treasury to the king. However, as the emperor, he could not lose his face. However, he did not expect that the king would pay 500 million yuan in one breath, constantly solving his urgent needs, and there were still many surpluses to squander, which would save himself from his bad reputation of embezzling the treasury.

Looking at the confidant minister in front of him, Li Longji became happier the more he looked at it, and said, "Isn't this 500 million yuan of money really coming from taxes regulated by renters?"

The rent-in-one system was the core tax system of the Tang Dynasty, mainly focusing on the collection of grains, cloths or serving the government. It was a tax system based on the equal-land system.

As long as the rent and mediocre system is not chaotic, the people's hearts of the Tang Dynasty will not be chaotic.

The king said with a promise: "Don't worry, your Majesty, this money is extra for me and has nothing to do with the country's funds."

Li Longji didn't ask in detail and said with a smile: "Your beloved is good at managing finances and will definitely be able to enrich the country for me in the Tang Dynasty. You will be willing to manage our treasury. "

Gao Lishi listened on the side, his eyebrows became even more worried. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang didn't complain about insufficient funds before, but now, with Wang Siqing here, there is no worry about the funds."

The king's expression narrowed, his head lowered, and he did not dare to speak.

Li Longji was stunned and said, "By the way, if General Gao doesn't mention it, I will forget Zhang Qing, but I don't know how he is in the Censorate? Zhang Qing finally made contributions to the court. Even if he has done so, he cannot be severely punished."

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Why would you rather let the old slave go for His Majesty and see Mr. Zhang?"
