When Huang Wenshan was brought to Xingqing Palace, the whole person was excited and surprised, and he was guessing the reason why Gao Lishi was looking for him all the way.

After retreating from the court, he was about to leave, but a little eunuch stopped him halfway, saying that Gao Lishi had something to see him, which made Huang Wenshan feel frightened, you must know that Gao Lishi is a hot celebrity in the court, not to mention the civil and military officials, even the royal relatives have to salute respectfully when they see Gao Lishi, many people want to see him and have no chance, and now take the initiative to find himself, which is really rare.

After entering Anxing Palace, the little eunuch led Huang Wenshan to a side hall and sat down, said that he would report to Gonggong Gao and left, leaving Huang Wenshan alone.

At this time, Huang Wenshan also made a judgment at this time: Gao Lishi is looking for himself, there are two possibilities, one is related to the salt and iron tax, with the establishment of the salt and iron envoy to supervise and collect taxes on the salt and iron in the world, the imperial court's income has repeatedly reached new highs, and I don't know whether to be satisfied with his work or to increase the intensity of collection; The second is related to Zhang Shoujun's share of the folds he gave himself.

It's just that I can't guess that this time Gao Lishi is looking for himself, is it Gao Lishi's original intention or is it from the emperor's instructions?

I don't know what Gao Lishi is busy with, Huang Wenshan waited for half an hour in the side hall to see Gao Lishi, who was late.

"Huang Wenshan, the director of salt and iron, has met Grandpa Gao." Seeing the belated Gaoli soldiers, Huang Wenshan didn't dare to complain, and hurriedly trotted forward to salute.

Gao Lishi smiled: "Director Huang doesn't have to be polite, our family has to serve His Majesty, and Director Lao Huang said no." ”

"Don't dare, Gao Gonggong wears many hats, and he has done his best for Datang, and he can see that Gao Gonggong is already satisfied, and he only has gratitude and fear in his heart, and he has nothing to think about."

Gao Lishi can be very personable, Huang Wenshan can't be without self-knowledge, how dare he make this popular man in the DPRK and China apologize.

Glancing at Huang Wenshan, who was looking at his nose and nose, Gao Lishi nodded in his heart, this Huang Wenshan is quite sensible, and his attitude is also very correct, and he quickly asked: "Director Huang, our family asks you, what is going on with the private residence of Zheng Pengjian, the general of Zhenxi?" ”

Huang Wenshan chuckled in his heart, and quickly responded respectfully: "Back to Gonggong Gao's words, about General Zheng, it was Zhang Shoujun of Jianling County, Guizhou, who begged Weichen to hand it over, and said that this was for the sake of Datang, Zhang Xianling was a subordinate of Weichen, and his performance was acceptable. ”

Gao Lishi knew about the folds, Huang Wenshan was not surprised at all, to know that it was not a secret in the court that Gao Lishi checked the folds for the emperor.

The front was dried for half an hour, and he waited for so long, and he didn't have a cup of tea, Huang Wenshan had a bad premonition in his heart.

It's this Zhang Shoujun again, all of them are transferred to Guizhou so far, and his hand is still stretched out so long.

Gao Lishi was a little speechless in his heart, that Zhang Shoujun didn't have a few pounds and taels in his heart, he was still tossing from salt and iron to a small county order, kicking the iron plate and hitting the south wall and not changing, he deserved to be unlucky, and this Huang Wenshan in front of him was too, and he dared to stand up for others without a little eyesight.

"Director Huang, you can eat things indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, you can't lie to our family."

"In front of Gonggong Gao's fiery eyes, Wenshan didn't dare to say half a lie."

Gao Lishi felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face, and said casually: "Director Huang, others are others, you are yourself, just do your part, understand?" ”

"Understand, understand, Xie Gao's father-in-law pointed out, Wenshan is unforgettable." Huang Wenshan said respectfully while wiping cold sweat.

When it comes to this, even fools know right and wrong, and Huang Wenshan knows that he was cheated by Zhang Shoujun.

Zhang Shoujun has nothing to do, he tosses himself to the poor countryside of Guizhou and still doesn't give up, and he still wants to drag himself into the water, okay, Huang Wenshan is secretly ruthless in his heart: Lao Tzu is not finished with you.

Gao Lishi is a popular man in front of the emperor, and he can press himself with his fingers and never turn over, and now he is just a reprimand, maybe he is in a good mood, but what if he is in a bad mood? It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and I have long heard that Zheng Peng has a good relationship with Gaolis, but now it seems that even if Zheng Peng is exiled, it is not something he can provoke.

The new salt and iron envoy of the Western Regions is his brother-in-law, and there is no mention in the official document about the private salt between the Western Regions and Zheng Peng, but it is mentioned in the private letter, and it seems that he has to be reminded not to do more, and he does not want to investigate secretly, so he should not see it.

A person with a complex background like Zheng Peng can't be a friend, and he must never be an enemy.

Gotta write it right away.

After Gao Lishi sent Huang Wenshan away, he immediately reported to Li Longji: "Everyone, things have been figured out. ”

"Tell me what's going on?"

Gao Lishi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told the matter 1510.

Hearing this, Li Longji put down the imperial pen in his hand, and said impatiently: "This Zhang Shoujun, his hand is stretched long enough, he is in Guizhou, and his hand is still stretched out to Xiao Bolu." ”

"Rest assured, the old slave will definitely handle this matter properly."

"Very good" Li Longji nodded, and said a little unhurriedly: "Lux, how long has Zheng Peng been stationed in Xiaobolu?" ”

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji asked Zheng Peng to garrison Xiao Bolu, not concerned about where he was stationed for how long, but about how much time Zheng Peng had for that five-year covenant, and immediately said: "There is still a year and a half, Zheng Peng has to fulfill his promise and include Tubo in the territory of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Longji put down the tea bowl, stood up, walked to the high-hanging map of the Tang Dynasty frontier by the wall, and said as if to himself: "It is a good thing to discover salt mines, mine them privately, sell them privately, exchange salt for horses and strength in Tibet, and weaken Tibet in disguise; In fact, it is not a problem for him to put away the profits, and it is also a trivial matter to build a private house to hide Jiaojiao, provided that he has to fulfill his promise, or the promise he gave me. ”

After the exchange of prisoners, the expected conflict and revenge between Datang and Tubo did not happen, on the contrary, the two sides had a tacit understanding, Tubo thought that Datang gave up revenge on Tubo, mainly because Tubo had a curse that made Datang frightened, and Tubo was even more confident after putting the cement exchanged for the border and relaxed its vigilance against Datang.

The problem is that Li Longji has always regarded Tubo as a thorn in his side, and with Zheng Peng's "five-year covenant", he is even more concerned about the Western Regions, and has arranged a large number of eyeliners in the four armies of the West Gate, and he knows everything about his every move, and he has long known about Zheng Peng's digging of private salt.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you ask Zheng Peng how much stone salt he dug up last month and what he sold in exchange for it, Zheng Peng may have to take out the account book to look at it to find out, but if you ask Li Longji, Li Longji can answer it casually.

The less time there is left in the five years, the more tormented Li Longji's heart becomes.

Gao Lishi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Everyone, this matter has spread to Guizhou, I believe that people with a heart will soon come out to make trouble, the impact is not good, it is better for the old slave to go to the Ximen Fourth Army to see what is going on, as the so-called mistakes are corrected, nothing to encourage, by the way, see how Zheng Peng's five-year appointment went?" ”
