The collection of classics, history, and literature collected by the Secret Pavilion is more than 20 million words in total.

This size is still incomparable to the Siku Complete Book proofreaded in the Qing Dynasty, let alone the Yongle Ceremony.

But this is normal. The Siku Quanshu collected not only classics, history, and numerology, but also all classics, history, and numerology, but also added a lot of content from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The scriptures alone added many notes like Zhu Zi.

Not to mention historical books, just one Ming history has 2.8 million words!

Almost at the same time, Su Wei and the others also found an excuse to revive a group of transcriptionists from the Secretary-General.

Then, as soon as the clerk was supervised by the secretary, the clerk was hired back at a high price by the guard and capture department.

It took another half a month to write down all the commonly used characters in the classics, history, and rare characters that are not commonly used, and handed them over to the printing office to engrave the characters.

...

It was already August that the characters were engraved.

The weather has turned colder at this time.

Wu Zetian finally took Li Dan back from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Almost at the same time, the good news finally came back to Guanzhong from the northern border.

Half a month ago, Ashide Yuanzhen, the Later Turkic Abodagan (equivalent to the Grand Marshal of the Army) led the rebels to invade Yunzhou and encountered a large army led by Wu Sansi.

After a fierce battle, the rebels were defeated.

Wu Sansi immediately condemned Gao Sheji, the general of the Right Guard, to return to Chang'an to report his victory.

At this moment, Gao Sheji was talking about the battle in Yunzhou in front of Wu Zetian in Zichen Hall, Li Dan and the civil and military officials of the court, and he was talking about it.

"When the two armies are fighting fiercely,"

"Master Xue took off her pocket,"

"Scream, Xue Rengui is here, why don't you surrender soon?"

"As the saying goes, the name of a man and the shadow of a tree, the rebels saw that the boss Xue was actually here, and the army was immediately shaken."

"The General Manager of Wuhan University ordered Wang Fangyi, Wang Xiaojie and the last general to take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and the rebels collapsed."

"In the battle of Yunzhou, more than 10,000 rebels were killed, 30,000 prisoners were captured, and more than 30,000 cattle, sheep, horses, camels, and llamas."

"After this defeat, the rebels fled into Mobei and did not dare to fight again. However, the chief general asked the saint and the empress dowager to rest assured. He would not let the rebels go easily and prepare to lead the army deep into Mobei and pursue and suppress them."

Li Dan, who was sitting on the imperial throne, frequently looked back at the curtain.

Compared to Li Xian, Li Dan is more aware of being a puppet.

Unless you obtain Wu Zetian's permission, you will never speak easily.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Gao." Wu Zetian's voice came from behind the curtain, "The general has been out for many days. My wife and children in the mansion must miss it very much, so let's go back to the mansion to reunite first."

"Here!" Gao She responded with his hands, and then turned around and left the hall.

Watching Gao Sheji leave the hall, Gao Lingsong shook the dust and sang loudly: "If you have something to do, you will be able to leave the court."

This means that today's court meeting ends here. Except for a few prime ministers, other civil and military officials can leave.

Pei Shaoqing subconsciously turned around and walked out, but Gao Lingsong's voice came from behind: "Pei Sicheng, please stay. Today's Political Affairs Hall discusses politics, and the empress dowager will also tell you to attend."

"Here!" Pei Shaoqing stayed obediently.

After a moment, Pei Shaoqing followed several prime ministers to the Ideological and Political Hall.

After waiting for a while, Wu Zetian and Li Dan changed into regular clothes.

Pei Shaoqing paid attention to Wu Zetian's complexion, and only saw that his face was rosy. It can be seen that Tang Xianyou did a good job during this period, and Wu Zetian's mentality became younger.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, Mr. Pei."

Before discussing politics, Wu Zetian first thanked Liu Rengui and Pei Yan specifically.

Because during the period when she and Li Dan were not in Chang'an, they were Liu Rengui and Pei Yan was staying behind.

"I dare not take it." Liu Rengui and Pei Yan crossed their hands and said, "This is a matter of equality."

"Talking about serious matters." Wu Zetian said in a deep voice, "It has been several months since the implementation of China and France. Has the first batch of grain from salt merchants in Huainan and Jiangnan been solved?"

"Report to the Empress Dowager, he has already been handed over to Chang'an."

Pei Yan replied: "A total of five million stones."

Liu Renguidao: "There will be three million stones in the future."

Pei Yan said again: "By the end of the year, the official's salary can also be paid in full."

Hearing this, Cui Zhiwen, Li Yiyan and other prime ministers were also excited. To put it in detail, the court had not distributed official Lu Mi in full for many years.

Liu Yizhi couldn't help but look back at Pei Shaoqing.

If it weren't for the opening of China and the Chinese government, how could the officials in the court receive the full amount of rice? The people in Guanzhong don't know how many people would starve to death.

Now Liu Yizhi took the scepter and said, "Sage, Empress Dowager, I have something to say."

Li Dan remained silent, while Wu Zetian asked with a kind look: "What do you mean by Liu Qing?"

Liu Yizhi said: "Empress Dowager, if it weren't for Pei Sicheng's promotion of the Central French, how could the officials in the court receive the full amount of rice? The people of Guanzhong would not know how many people would starve to death."

"Even the northern army is afraid it will be difficult to achieve success."

"So I think that I should highly reward Pei Sicheng."

Hearing this, Liu Rengui, Pei Yan and others showed a greasy look on their faces.

Liu Yizhi brought the pot of this. The military rations of the northern army and the food that helps the hungry people in Guanzhong were clearly provided by the high families of these aristocratic families, but how can I remember the credit on Pei Shaoqing?

Just talking about the opening of the Chinese law, Pei Shaoqing was just talking.

If it were not for the support of such high-ranking families, could China and France continue to be implemented?

Pei Yan immediately winked at Wei Xuantong and signaled him to come forward to refute Liu Yizhi.

However, before Wei Xuantong came forward, Pei Shaoqing took the lead and refused: "Empress Dowager, can I say something?"

Wu Zetian said: "Although you are not the prime minister, this matter is related to you, so it's okay to talk about it, talk about it."

"Here." Pei Shaoqing responded, "The way to promote Kaizhong and the food shortage in Guanzhong and the border can be solved by the planning of the prime ministers, the vigorous promotion of local officials in various prefectures and counties, and the strong support of salt merchants from all over the country, has nothing to do with me, so there is no need to reward me."

Pei Yan felt like he had eaten a fly.

Pei Shaoqing's move is really amazing to retreat and advance.

Now they will seem too inhumane to stop them again.

As a prime minister, at least one must maintain your dignity and do not do things too much.

Pei Yan winked again, and Wei Xuantong could only return to the class with a dark face.

Wu Zetian saw the movements of Pei Yan and Wei Xuantong in his eyes, and curled his lips slightly, thinking that Pei Shaoqing's wrists were becoming more and more skillful, and the prime minister was all over the place.

Wu Zetian simply asked Pei Yan: "Old Pei Ge, what do you think?"

Pei Yanxin said, according to my opinion, not only will he not reward him, but he will also kill his head.

Pei Yan had long turned against Pei Shaoqing, his family, and the princess performed six rituals before the wedding. Pei Yan actually extended an olive branch to Pei Shaoqing and took the initiative to express her willingness to accept the offer as an elder in the clan.

But in the end, Pei Shaoqing actually found Pei Feishu to go and pick him up.

What does it mean? Do you, Pei Shaoqing, look down on us? Would you rather find Pei Feishu, the Pei family branch than me?

Since then, the two families have completely turned against each other.

However, if you turn against others, the minimum official rules should not be broken.

Pei Yan came out of duty and said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Kaizhong Law has been proven to be a good law by facts. So as the leader, the court should have made some statements to Pei Sicheng."

Cen Changqian and others went out to work to agree.

"Okay." Wu Zetian nodded happily and said, "Then let's discuss, how should we reward you?"

As the saying goes, love Wu and Wu. Because Wu Zetian felt sorry for Princess Taiping, she was still willing to give Pei Shaoqing more benefits to her son-in-law.

Pei Yan winked at Wei Xuantong again.

Wei Xuantong finally got the opportunity this time and went out to report: "The Empress Dowager Pei Sicheng and the Princess are one, and their status is extremely noble, and the reward of title is meaningless to him."

"As for the money rewards, the cost of the court is still quite nervous."

"So, I suggest that five thousand households will be allocated from Qipanshan District to the princess as a fief."

"This is enough to show the grace of the court and the queen mother to His Highness and Pei Sicheng."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yizhi sneered and said, "Grace? Is this really grace?"

"What does Liu Jijiu mean?" Wei Xuantong snorted coldly, "You need to know that these five thousand households are actually granted as the previous ten thousand households, and the actual granted five thousand households. Isn't this grace?"

With a clapping hand, Wei Xuantong looked around and said, "Have there ever been a precedent in our dynasty since its founding?"

"No." Guo Waifeng said, "According to the Tang Dynasty, the princess actually won only a thousand households, and the princess actually won only five hundred households. The most favored Duke of Wu was only a thousand three hundred households!"

"Pei Sicheng and the princess actually granted 15,000 households,"

"It can be said to be an unprecedented grace!"
