"Don't worry, all the masters." The merchant waved his hand and said, "The little old man is not a person who is denied."

"It's just that such a stunning maid, I really don't know what price to set?"

"So the old man simply set the price by the public. Whoever sets the highest price will be the one who will belong to this maid."

Pei Shaoqing thought to himself, he really needs to bid. This is very new. Is there a bid for the Tang Dynasty?

The audience is already in full swing.

A man immediately shouted: "Are you serious?"

"Take it seriously." The businessman responded firmly.

"Okay!" the man said excitedly, "I am the butler at the Taipu Temple Minister's Mansion, Niu Da, I hope you can sell me my face and give this maid to me. Niu Da is very grateful."

"Taipu Temple is nothing."

"That's right, a temple minister dares to show off."

"Our dignified Duke's Mansion has not spoken yet."

Niu Da's speech had just finished, and he immediately attracted a lot of scolding.

Pei Shaoqing also held his forehead with his hands, which seemed a bit troublesome.

Soon someone started bidding: "I'm making twenty coins!"

"I just want to hug the beauty after twenty knots? In my dream, I will give twenty-five knots!"

"I'll give twenty-six taels!"

"Twenty-seven shoals!"

...

When Pei Shaoqing bids in the market,

A court debate that is likely to determine the national destiny in the next few decades is about to begin.

The court discussions in the Political Affairs Hall are usually in the Menxia Province, but when the emperor participates, they are usually in the Ideological and Political Affairs Hall.

At this moment, several prime ministers have gathered in the Ideological and Political Hall, waiting to discuss the major national policies with Wu Zetian.

In addition to the three prime ministers, Zuo Pushe Liu Rengui, the Secretary of the Secretariat Xue Yuanchao and the Secretary of the Secretariat Pei Yan, there are also the Huangmen Minister Cui Zhiwen and the Secretary of the Secretariat Li Yiyan.

Cui Zhiwen and Li Yiyan are not real prime ministers.

However, there is also one among the two of them who are "the third rank of the Secretariat of the Secretariat".

This is a title invented by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. He felt that the prime minister's position was too powerful and it was easy to infringe on the imperial power, so it could not be easily granted to ministers.

However, someone needs to do the affairs of the prime minister, otherwise the emperor will be exhausted.

So Emperor Taizong of Tang got the title of third rank in the Secretariat and the official title, although he was not the prime minister, he was qualified to participate in the discussion of state affairs.

So now, there are a total of five prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall.

Among the five, Liu Rengui is the unscrupulous chief assistant and the core.

So at this moment, Xue Yuanchao and four others were talking around Liu Rengui.

"Gemaster Liu." Xue Yuanchao asked, "Do you know what the Queen of Heaven summoned us to discuss?"

"I don't know this, either." Liu Rengui waved his hand and said, "But based on my guess, it should be for the war in the north."

Li Yiyan said: "Does it really mean to recall General Pei?"

Pei Yan said: "Pei Qi is suspected of hiring a guard and capturing Lang to sneak into Dali Temple to silence Wang Desheng, and the right guard general Li Daoen is even suspected of murdering Princess Taiping. One of these two is the adopted son of General Pei, Minglei, and the other is his confidant general. General Pei's Military Commission is not suitable to lead troops outside anymore."

Cui Zhiwen said: "If General Pei is recalled, who can replace him?"

"Although my Tang Dynasty is full of talents and famous generals, I am afraid that only Mr. Xue will take charge of this important task." Li Yiyan said, "The saint recalled Mr. Xue from Xiangzhou before the New Year, which is truly far-sighted."

Liu Rengui and Xue Yuanchao couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that Li Yiyan was really ignorant of the current affairs.

It's already this time, and I still dream that the Emperor can take over the court again. Is Xue Rengui obviously the Queen of Heaven recalled? According to the saint's intention, it was only as if he wanted to let Xue Rengui die in Xiangzhou.

"The Queen of Heaven is here!"

The shouts of praise sounded outside the hall.

The five prime ministers all fell silent.

After a moment, Wu Zetian entered the Ideological Hall through Yimen Gate.

"Three things." After the ceremony, Wu Zetian said bluntly, "The first thing is that I am determined to recall General Pei from the northern border, and all the ministers can elect a replacement."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yiyan immediately came out to report: "I recommend Xue Rengui, Duke of Pingyang County."

"Xue Rengui?" Wu Zetian nodded slightly and said, "General Xue is a famous general in the world. Although he is old, his reputation is still spread far beyond the border and he should be competent."

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, Pei Yan left the shift.

"The Queen of Heaven." Pei Yan raised Ya Fong with both hands and said, "I have a memorial."

"What's the matter?" Wu Zetian had no expression on his face. In fact, he knew what Pei Yan was going to say in his heart, because this was basically what Pei Yan had agreed with her in advance.

This is also the letter of reputation that Pei Yan accepted to her.

She really didn't realize that Pei Yan was actually a lie.

On the surface, he obeyed her words, but secretly he was the emperor's confidant.

Taiping was kidnapped by the Shouchao Lang on the night of Shangyuan, and Pei Yan was involved behind it.

If Pei Shaoqing hadn't fooled Yu Maochun this time by striking the enemy, Pei Yan was so scared that he couldn't help but confess to her, she might have been kept in the dark by him.

Let’s see how he performs in the future and decide whether to get rid of him.

Wu Zetian's heart was twisted and turned around, but he was silent on the surface.

Pei Yan said: "Although Mr. Xue is a famous general in the world, he is old and is afraid of being suffering from wind and sand. Therefore, it is best to have a strong R&F as the marching chief manager for one year, and Mr. Xue can be the deputy."

"Old Pei Ge is a man who is planning the country." Wu Zetian said, "Do you have a candidate for the general manager of the army?"

Pei Yan replied: "The Right Guard General Wu Sansi is a descendant of the high school. He is young and strong and has read military books since childhood. Recently, he has been here to visit Chief Xue for advice on how to use military service..."

"Wait." Wu Zetian asked, "You said Wu Sansi came to the door for several days to ask Chief Xue for advice on how to use military service?"

"The Queen of Heaven doesn't know about this?" Pei Yan said, "I went to Yonglefang to visit Mr. Xue this morning, and happened to meet General Wu and a group of generals from the Right Guard to visit Mr. Xue."

"Mr. Xue's evaluation of General Wu is not low."

"To say that the general of war is smart and humble, he will definitely be a famous general in the future."

Liu Rengui and others rolled their eyes when they heard this. This is probably what they said.

Just Wu Sansi, a ignorant person, can become a famous general of a generation? It’s ridiculous!

Wu Zetian felt thoughtful after hearing this. It seemed that Wu Sansi had really made progress and knew how to bring a group of generals from the Right Guard to come to Xue Rengui for advice on how to use troops.

The significance of this move is not whether Wu Sansi can really learn any way to use military force.

But through this action, he brought the relationship with Xue Rengui closer, which made the two of them have the name of master and apprentice, and also won over the group of central generals of the Right Guard.

This move is of great significance.

Because the sixteen guards of the Southern Imperial Guards belong to Pei Xingjian's right guards are the most capable of fighting.
