A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chengtianmen, Gu Qing and Shangguanyi stood on Chengtianmen, watching the officials are very busy, said to Shangguanyi, "Look, what a grand occasion, everyone is very busy, not as relaxed as before. slow."

The corners of Shangguanyi's mouth twitched, "Chu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong must be too busy to separate themselves, how about we take a leisurely look at the scenery?"

"Is there anything wrong?" Gu Qing asked again.

"But we found Xiangguo." The clerk from the household department came in a hurry, "Xiangguo, the amount of salary this time is too big, if it is divided like this, it may not be enough."

"Not enough?" Gu Qing wondered, "The money earned by Haimao should be enough for more than ten years."

"That's..." The little official was a little embarrassed to say it.

"That's how it is." Shangguanyi explained straightforwardly, "At the beginning, His Majesty put all the money earned by the sea trade into the internal treasury. Now the money in the household department is collected from various places, and the taxes are actually not much."

"How did you move the money to the inner treasury?"

Shangguanyi looked at Gu Qing and gave him a look.

"I understand that if the money enters the internal treasury, only His Majesty can move the money, and the future will not be able to avoid His Majesty. If you want money, you can find His Majesty." Gu Qing nodded solemnly, "When did this Li Chengqian play such a trick? , Miscalculated."

"Xiangguo, what should we do, His Majesty is not in the palace now."

"Then let's do this." Gu Qing said to him, "You first follow what we have decided to stabilize the hearts of these new officials, and I will find a way to ask for money later."

Chapter 7 The Queen's Intervention

"okay."

The other party hurried over again, and Gu Qing leaned against the city wall and said to Shangguanyi, "When did Li Chengqian move the money to the inner treasury, why didn't I know the news."

"I won't know about this until the money enters the internal treasury." Shangguanyi whispered.

"Li Chengqian still wants to control the government, but he is the emperor, and there is no difference between the money in the court and the money in the inner treasury." Gu Qing was thoughtful.

in the village

Yang Sheng, who was carrying a hoe, passed by Li Er's house, Li Junxian said quickly, "Yang Zhuangshi?"

"Meet General Li?" Yang Sheng saluted Li Junxian.

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Junxian patted Yang Sheng's shoulder, "You still don't want to join the army? I can recommend you to His Majesty. Your ability is not low."

"No, I don't want to live in the army, I'm tired." Yang Sheng sat on the stone by the road.

"You'd rather be a farmer than a general?"

"That's right." Yang Sheng bit the grass root and said, "What's so good about the days of being in the army? The whole day is on the defensive from time to time, which means deploying troops to fight. How can life be as comfortable as it is now, with a home, a few acres of land, and peace and security. How comfortable."

That's right, Li Junxian nodded. When His Majesty abdicated, Li Chengqian sat on the emperor's seat and wanted to ask what happened to Gu Qing. It was Yang Shengkai who guided him, this man who knew how to live.

Gu Qing walked all the way back to the village and came to Li Er's residence. Empress Changsun and Li Er are quite comfortable with life here. Seeing Yang Sheng and Li Junxian chatting and laughing, "What are you two talking about?"

"It's nothing, let's talk about life." Yang Sheng stood up, "The chickens raised at home still need to be fed, so I'll take my leave first."

"Walk slowly."

Gu Qing said to Li Junxian: "I'm here to meet your Majesties."

"I'll report it." Li Junxian walked into the yard after finishing speaking.

After Li Junxian walked in, Wang Qin followed.

"Come in." Wang Qin said with a smile.

Gu Qing walked into the courtyard, Li Er was teasing his grandson, this is Li Chengqian's son, and Li Chengqian's wife Su Shi was standing beside him.

"What's going on this time again, tell me." Li Er said while hugging his grandson.

"It's about money." Gu Qing said.

"You, Gu Qing, still worry about money." Li Er looked at Gu Qing, "Your Gu family is as rich as an enemy, why? Not enough money?"

Gu Qing sat down unceremoniously, and said to the maid serving at the side: "Pour me a cup of tea."

It was the first time she was summoned by someone other than the royal family, and she was a little taken aback.

Li Er signaled her to pour tea, "You are really rude here."

"Then I'll be polite." Gu Qing smiled, "Your Majesty, can I ask for some tea?"

"Hahahaha." Li Er suddenly smiled, and said to his grandson, "Don't imitate this guy, he has no manners."

The queen on the side paid attention to Gu Qing's expression.

"Okay, if you're being polite, I won't feel comfortable, so don't be too polite." Li Er put down his grandson, "What's the matter with the money?"

"It's like this." Gu Qing told Li Er about the predicament in court.

"The money went into the inner treasury?" Li Er said thoughtfully, sighing, "Chengqian did this, and I also know what happened. The inner treasury in the imperial court has not been full for so many years. When life was hard a few years ago , everyone in the palace is busy living their lives."

During this period of time, Gu Qing also understood that Li Tai also asked him for money at that time.

"Now that I have finally got rich, Chengqian hopes that the people in the palace will live better." Li Er asked the maid to give Gu Qing the tea first, "You also know that the expenses in the palace are different from those in ordinary families. Some things You should also satisfy Cheng Qian."

"Leaving aside the question of whether money is money or not, now that the court needs money everywhere, please be generous with your Majesty."

"What is Chengqian doing?" Li Er looked at his daughter-in-law beside him.

"Return to Father." Su Shi said, "Your Majesty is playing chess with Fang Lao."

"You can talk to Cheng Qian yourself, I won't interfere in this matter."

"Don't!" Gu Qing said hastily, "If you don't intervene, I really can't find anyone who can help me. If he wants me to talk to Li Chengqian, he hasn't put forward a lot of conditions. It doesn't mean that he has already opened the door. I still want to let people get into my mouth, you are not kind."

"I have already stepped back, and it is inappropriate to meddle in the affairs of the court." Li Er stood up with a smile, "I have gone to rest, you can do what you want."

Li Er left, Li Er's daughter-in-law Su Shi was still standing aside, she said to Gu Qing, "That day Di Renjie wanted to see Ben Gong."

"Huh?" Gu Qing was about to leave and heard the Queen's words, and asked suspiciously, "Di Renjie?"

"That's right, this matter is still related to Tang Jian's case." She continued, "Tang Jian's case involves Ben Gong's father, and he wants to question Ben Gong."

Hearing her words with resentment, Gu Qing turned around and said to her, "What does the empress mean to say that Di Renjie did something wrong?"

"Ben Gong's father is dead." She continued, "What right does he have to accuse Ben Gong and my father?"

Gu Qing sneered and said to her, "Since the case involves the Queen's questioning, what's the point? Could it be that the Queen has a guilty conscience? I can tell the Queen that the people involved in Tang Jian this time are very difficult. If the Queen feels that it has nothing to do with her, Di Renjie What's the matter if you want to ask a few questions? Everything is for the purpose of solving the case, Di Renjie is out of business, and the queen is targeting Di Renjie for her own private affairs, isn't it a bit unreasonable."

"Gu Qing, you're rude!" Shi Shi stared at Gu Qing.
