Chapter 33: Thirty Years of Detention

Not only Cui Jiu's family.

There are also Uncle Qin Si who taught him to make traps, Aunt Qin Si, and Qin Shijiulang...

There are also Aunt Gongsun who taught him how to play drums, Uncle Xiao Shisi who taught him how to swordsmanship, and Master Cui who taught them that the young man who kept the kids reading and reading and reading...

Hechuan Shuqiaocheng has so many memories of him, that is his hometown where he has lived for thirteen years.

If Hechuan Shunkang was really cut off, he would never be able to return to his hometown.

What's worse is that life is already difficult enough for guarding the man. If you are forced to leave your hometown, life will be even more difficult. I wonder how many people will die on the displaced migration path?

Especially the hungry young, young, women and children.

This result is not what he wants to see.

These are all his relatives and family members!

For a moment, Pei Shaoqing suspected that Wu Zetian was cheating on him.

Because there was no such thing in history, I remember that the city was not cut off when I was killed.

But then again, there seems to be no record in history that Princess Taiping was kidnapped.

Because his beloved daughter was kidnapped by the Guardian, Wu Zetian was furious and then made up his mind to sack Guardian. This was also possible.

In short, Pei Shaoqing dared not take this risk.

What if Wu Zetian really wants to do this?

This was just a adjustment of national policy for Wu Zetian and the Tang Dynasty.

But for the women and children guarding the city of Hechuan, it is a different path of life or death.

Pei Shaoqing sighed and said, "If I promised to capture the Si Cheng, would I not be cut off?"

"Not enough." Wu Zetian shook his head and said, "You must also be the chief guard of the guard and capture the food supply of dozens of guards and cities of all sizes, big and small, and more than 200,000 guards and their families, so that they no longer have to be hired to get a meal, sneak into the two capitals and various prefectures and counties to kidnap tickets, blackmail, or even kill and set fire."

Hearing this, Liu Rengui and three other cabinet masters couldn't help but exchange glances.

The three of them were puzzled. The Political Affairs Hall did not mention this? The national treasury could not afford the food and salary for the guards and capture cities. How could this be a mere guards and capture departments afford?

What's more, the guard and capture department was just established.

But the three of them still held back and didn't say anything.

They wanted to see what Pei Sicheng would say.

They felt that Pei Shaoqing would definitely make various requests.

No matter how bad it is, at least we must strive for some of the treasury resources.

However, Pei Shaoqing's performance once again exceeded their expectations.

After a while, Pei Shaoqing gritted his teeth and said, "Queen, I need time!"

Liu Rengui, Xue Yuanchao and Pei Yan were stunned when they heard this. Is it just necessary to have time?

Pei Yan couldn't help but remind Pei Shaoqing: "Pei Sicheng, you may lack understanding of the system of guarding and catching. You need to know that the Tang Dynasty is not only one guarding and catching city, but more than thirty."

"I know." Pei Shaoqing said solemnly, "I also know that as the territory of our Tang Dynasty continues to expand outward in the future, more guarding cities will be set up, fifty or one hundred of them are possible."

"Then you still..." Pei Yan said a little while and stopped talking.

But the meaning has been clearly stated, do you know that you still dare to agree?

"Queen of Heaven." Pei Shaoqing said to Wu Zetian again, "I need time."

"Time?" Wu Zetian said expressionlessly, "How long does it take?"

Pei Shaoqing pondered for a moment and said, "Three years! There will be no assessment within three years, and I also have the power to mobilize all guards and men in the country's guards and cities!"

"Three years?" Wu Zetian smiled and said, "I will give you thirty years! There will be no assessment within thirty years."

Hearing this, Liu Rengui and the other two looked at each other again. It turned out that this was the real intention of the queen. She raised it high but fell down gently. This was a formality, which made us worry in vain.

But Pei Shaoqing knew that Wu Zetian was not going through the motions, but saw clearly the essence of the problem.

In fact, the problem of defending and capturing the city gradually emerged with the collapse of the Tang Dynasty's military system. In other words, if you want to completely solve the hidden dangers of defending and capturing the city, you must solve the dilemma faced by the military system.

To do such a big thing, of course, you have to work hard, and thirty years have been short.

Pei Shaoqing just said that in three years, he just wanted to achieve phased results.

But Wu Zetian's requirements are obviously higher, and what she wants is decisive results.

But then again, Wu Zetian may not really expect him to solve the problem.

Wu Zetian might have wanted to use this method to tie him up and try his abilities by the way. Even if things are done, she will not lose anything if things are not done.

Political figures never have only one option to consider problems.

Wu Zetian continued: "As for the power to transfer people, you can transfer them freely if you are less than a hundred people. If you exceed a hundred people, you must report to the Ministry of War!"

Pei Shaoqing was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, the people will receive the order."

He is now both an official and a businessman, and he can also mobilize troops, which is amazing!

Pei Yan reminded again: "Pei Sicheng, you are already an official now, so you should not call yourself a grass-roots person anymore."

"Oh yes." Pei Shaoqing suddenly realized, and then he was dressed and bowed to Wu Zetian again. "I am the Chief of the Hanlin Court to capture the minister, Pei Shaoqing, and I will follow the imperial edict of the Queen of Heaven. From now on, I will definitely be the Queen of Heaven's saddle and horses and horses, and let the enemy do whatever he wants."

"Wrong." Wu Zetian snorted lightly and said, "It is for the Tang Dynasty to be the first and second horses and horses, and let the people drive them."

"Yes, yes." Pei Shaoqing followed suit and said, "I must be willing to help the Tang Dynasty, and I will devote myself to the Queen of Heaven and the Queen until I die."

Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing.

Liu Rengui and Xue Yuanchao's face suddenly became cold.

Pei Yan also held his forehead with his hands. This little man is a flatterer.

Wu Zetian turned his head and said to Gao Lingsong, "Eunuch Gao, now you send Pei Sicheng to the Hanlin Academy and read the orthodox orthodox order to Mr. Liu and the others."

"Here." Gao Lingsong responded.

He said to Pei Shaoqing again: "Pei Sicheng, please come with our family."

"I'm leaving." Pei Shaoqing bowed to Wu Zetian, and then followed Gao Lingsong out of the Zichen Palace.

Gao Lingsong is a chatterbox. As soon as he left Zichen Hall, he said, "Pei Sicheng, you really scared our family in Zichen Hall just now. You are the one who dares to contradict the queen like that."

After that, he kindly reminded him: "This can't be like this in the future."

"We can't rely on the favor of the queen and be arrogant."

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao, for your reminder." Pei Shaoqing changed the topic directly, "Tell me about Hanlin Academy."

"When it comes to Hanlin Academy, it's really a place where you can hide and hide." Gao Lingsong said as he walked, "There are many talented people and strangers from the Tang Dynasty gathered inside."

"A capable man and a strange man?" Pei Shaoqing was stunned when he heard this. This style was wrong.
