Chapter 372: Breaking the Cup

"Li Xiao has just arrived in Baekje to take office, and now he has been called back, which is not good." The emperor groaned, looking very embarrassed on the surface, but in fact, he was eager to issue an edict to let Li Xiao come back immediately.

This Daming Palace has emptied the treasury and used so many victims, but it has not been completed yet, which makes him a little impatient.

If Li Xiao comes back and let him preside, it will definitely be much smoother. Before the Chinese New Year, I will definitely be able to move into Daming Palace.

"Li Xiao is meritorious and talented, let him go to Anton to make a history of assassination, too big is useless." Li Yifu is the best at observing faces, and when he sees the emperor's appearance, he knows the emperor's thoughts, and hurriedly answers.

Li Zhi snorted.

"Li Xiao is indeed very economical, but if he is allowed to return to the dynasty to be a household servant or a young secretary of Taifu Temple, will he be promoted too quickly?"

Although the level of the household servant and the Taifu Temple Shaoqing is not very high, there are two servants, and they are only under the fourth grade, but the authority of a household servant is extremely heavy. Although the history of thorns is also a four-grade, it cannot be said in the same day.

"Li Xianzi also served as a secretary and young eunuch before, and now he has let go of the assassination history, and now he is back to be a waiter, and his qualifications are also in line." Xu Jingzong also said.

Normally, Li Xiao's qualifications must not be able to be a squire, he is so young and has no real resume, but who makes the family the emperor's favorite minister. Now that the emperor is bent on reusing him, how can everyone stop him. The most important thing is that Li Xiao is very good at things, and everyone has no choice but to repair Daming Palace, but Li Xiao got 100,000 yuan in a blink of an eye, which is a skill.

If Li Xiao is allowed to come to the imperial court, with his ability to hold money, everyone will be easier in the future.

Moreover, Li Ji and Li Daozong, who have higher prestige among the prime ministers, both value Li Xiao more, they do not oppose and support, so there is naturally no reason for others to stop them, anyway, Li Xiao has no foundation, even if he returns to the dynasty, it will not be possible to threaten them as prime ministers for at least ten years.

"Then how about letting Li Xiao come back to be the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple first?" Li Zhi thought about it, but still felt that it was a bit too fast to directly use Li Xiao as a waiter.

Taifu Temple is one of the nine temples, which is responsible for the custody and cashier of the state's golden silk grain. This yamen is in charge of wealth and trade, and it is related to the household department.

To put it bluntly, it is in charge of the treasury money and grain, which is equivalent to the custody and cashier of Datang, and the household department is equivalent to the accounting office of Datang.

Such a position is still very important, and Li Xiao is more good at holding money, and letting him do this position is also considered to be based on his talents, because Li Xiao is young after all, so let him be Shaoqing first.

Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the official office of Taifu was actually mainly responsible for the supply and support of the royal family. Since the Sui Dynasty, it has been changed to be in charge of gold silk grain and trade. For example, the municipal offices of the east and west cities of Chang'an City are under their control, the two national treasurys of the left and right are also under their control, and several major granaries such as Changping are also under their control.

The Tang system was based on the financial decree of the Ministry of Households, and the Taifu was in charge of the warehouse cashier.

The cashier of the Taifu Temple is carried out according to the documents issued by the household department, and the household department examines the actual amount of its expenses according to the declaration of the Taifu Temple, so as to restrain each other.

In order to be afraid of other drawbacks, and to take preventive measures, one is to send the imperial history supervisor to the cashier, and the other is to send a special minister to exercise the cashier power called the Taifu cashier, and entrust the judge to take charge of the transactional work, the result is that although the Taifu Temple has very important authority in the past, but often the people who serve as the secretary of the Taifu Temple have no real power, and the important power and responsibility must be appointed by another important minister, and even the prime minister concurrently serves as the Taifu cashier.

And now the emperor's intention is to let Li Xiao be the Shaoqing, obviously to let Li Xiao really take care of the affairs of Taifu Temple.

Originally, Li Zhi wanted Li Xiao to take care of the royal money bag and his emperor's treasury, but it was too big to be useless. If Li Xiao can take care of Taifu Temple for him, it will be good if the money bag is full in the future.

"Jin Li Xiaozheng is a doctor on the fourth grade, and he is promoted to Shaoqing of Taifu Temple." Li Zhi gave the order satisfied.

Li Ji and other prime ministers were ordered.

It is rare to upgrade the scattered rank by three levels in a row.

After the prime ministers left, Li Zhi was still in the inner treasury for a long time, and he was excited to look at the money.

·······

Anton, Wuzhenzhou.

Today's Thorn Mansion is very lively, with lanterns and feasts.

All the dignified characters in the city of Wuzhenzhou have received invitations from the assassins, and even those landlords in the counties and townships outside the city have also received invitations.

Slaughtering pigs and sheep is lively.

The guards standing guard in front of the Assassin's Mansion were all dressed up, their armor was shiny, and their knives and guns were neat.

It's just that Li Xiao, the assassin of the assassin, has not exerted his authority at all since he took office, so no matter how strict these Tang soldiers are, those who came to the banquet did not pay much attention to them.

If the tiger is not powerful, then no one will care about his sharp claws.

The backyard of the Assassin's Mansion.

Zhao Chiman reported to Li Xiaoyu, "The people who have come are almost there, the registration books are almost full, the invitations have almost arrived, and only a few people from other counties are still on the way." ”

Li Xiao sat there, wiping his sword.

A sharp horizontal knife, which looks very simple, is not inlaid with gold tongs jade, but this sword is given by the emperor himself, built by a skilled imperial craftsman, and can cut nine cowhides with one sword, and pierce three layers of thick armor with one knife, even if it is the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, it can be pierced with one knife, which can be called a divine soldier.

The knife gets brighter and brighter the more you polish it.

Like a pool of autumn water.

Li Xiao wore this sword, but he never drew it easily.

For him, this is the sword of the Son of Heaven, and the sword will see blood.

"It's all here, and the show is about to begin. When the last few people also entered the city, the city gates were closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city without their own warrants, and those who trespassed were immediately killed. ”

"No problem." Zhao Zhiman used to be a general, and dealing with a group of Baekje natives was really a knife to kill chickens. "I have arranged a team of mercenaries at each city gate, and no one will try to break through the gates."

"What about the yamen, is it arranged here?"

"It's all right, all the guards have been arranged in the east courtyard, where a net has already been laid, and the guards in the past will be asked to temporarily hand over their weapons, and when the time comes, the government soldiers and mercenaries who are ambushed around will surround and control them."

Without these guards, what is the use of those indigenous Baekjes, although they are numerous.

"When Saburo smashes the cup, the knife and axe hand will rush in and take down those guys, and if you dare to disagree, you will be cut and killed directly."

"I like this, so it's decided."

After speaking, Li Xiao put away the treasure knife, put it back into the sheath, and hung it on his waist.

"Let's go, don't let our guests wait in a hurry, the show is about to begin!"

Zhao Zhiman nodded with a smile, and followed behind with the horizontal knife in his hand.
