The envoy sent by Huang Chao left Shannan West Road indignan, perhaps he thought that Li Rupei was just a child, he could understand anything, Li Rupei must have a master behind him to guide him, it was the master behind him who made the decision, so Li Rupei desperately refused to cooperate with the general, this is Li Rupei asking for hardship, or self-destruction, of course, when the envoy left, he also had his own understanding, that is, the iron-blooded army is far from being as powerful as the legend, it must be very lucky, So after taking Shannan West Road, he can put forward a suggestion when he goes back, suggesting that the general send a team of men and horses, and take this opportunity to plunder Shannan West Road, which can combat Li Rupei's arrogance and prove to the court that the real strength is still the general's team.

When the envoy of Huangchao left, Yan Fu also left Liangzhou with a hundred people, and secretly rushed to the capital.

Three days passed, Li Rupei began to look idle, and many officials in the yamen saw Li Rupei often wandering around outside the wing room, with a smile on his face, but only that, the rest of the time, Li Rupei stayed in the wing room, and even the meals were delivered to the door of the wing room, and no one knew what Li Rupei was busy with.

It was also at this time that an envoy sent by the imperial court came to Liangzhou.

This time it was Qian Shiqu who came to report.

As the assassin of Liangzhou, concurrently serving as the prefect of Xingyuan Mansion, Qian Shiqu is directly responsible for all the big and small things in the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, and the imperial court sent an envoy, which is a big matter, Qian Shiqu must be concerned, and at the same time, his heart is also with great expectations, expecting the imperial court envoy to bring good news, this time it is the envoy sent by the imperial court.

After arranging the envoy to stay at the official post, Qian Shiqu immediately rushed to the Yamen of the Jiedu envoy.

When he walked outside the wing, the sergeant guarding the door politely blocked Qian Shiqu outside, this was an order given by Li Rupei personally, no matter who came, he had to report it.

Qian Shiqu didn't care, since Li Rupei made such a request, he must be thinking about something important, so as not to be disturbed by others.

The sergeant entered the wing, came out quickly, and asked Qian Shiqu to enter.

Entering the wing, Qian Shiqu saw a huge map at a glance, the map was spread on the ground, and many places were full of marks, look carefully, this is a map of the Tang Dynasty, and all the prefectures and counties of Daofu are on the map.

Qian Shiqu was a little surprised, it was not a simple matter to find such a map, and he didn't know where Li Rupei got this map.

Seeing Qian Shiqu coming in, Li Rupei had a smile on his face.

"Old Qian, a certain luck is good, actually in the festival to make the yamen find this map, in the back garden of the secret room, Lu Yanhong's secret room, most of them are gold, silver, jewelry and property, there are few books and maps, this Lu Yanhong, no wonder can not be a good foothold in Shannan West Road, when a certain saw this map, it was still new."

Qian Shiqu cares about maps, but he cares more about how much gold and silver treasures he has, and you must know that he still has a level of duty, that is, he is directly responsible for planning military supplies for the Iron and Blood Army.

"Childe, I don't know how much gold, silver and jewelry there are, the expenses of the Iron Blood Army have increased recently, and it is difficult for subordinates to raise funds."

"I know that you will say these words, the list of gold, silver and jewelry has long been listed, since you are here, you will take the list, take away most of the gold and silver jewelry, and some of the gold and silver jewelry, and leave it to the government at all levels, but you have to remember that with these gold and silver jewelry, the taxes at the end of this year and the beginning of next year will be reduced and reduced, and the burden on the people is very heavy, especially in the last two to three years, the people must recuperate, only when the people can be fed and clothed, and the iron-blooded army can really gain a foothold in Shannan West Road."

Qian Shiqu nodded, he knew very well that Li Rupei had always been in this view, and according to this kind of thinking, he was afraid that in less than three years, Shannan West Road would be able to develop rapidly.

"Doesn't the prince leave some left, the festival makes the yamen also need expenses."

"No, there were still some gold and silver jewels stored before, which was enough to last for a while, so I don't need so many gold and silver jewels."

At this time, Qian Shiqu began to get down to business.

"Childe, the envoy sent by the imperial court is Kan Zeyu in the Ministry of War, and Ma Haoxuan in the Ministry of Officials, and his subordinates have arranged for them to rest in the official post."

The military department is responsible for the selection and awarding of military attachés, and the officials are responsible for the assessment of officials, both positions are from the positions of the five products, and they are relatively prominent in the imperial court.

However, the responsibilities of the two people sent are quite interesting.

It is no wonder that when Qian Shiqu said that the imperial court sent an envoy, the expression on his face was obviously expectant.

Li Rupei nodded slightly.

"I know, is it so slow for the imperial court to do things, the envoys sent by Huangchao have all left, and the envoys of the imperial court have only come to Shannan West Road, if they follow their way of doing things, I don't know how much things will be delayed."

"Childe, this time the imperial court took the initiative to send an envoy, and his subordinates think it is a good thing."

"Oh, why do you have such an understanding, tell me about it."

"The subordinates are not sure, but the imperial court sent an envoy, which must have certain conditions, and the subordinates think that the imperial court has no intention of sending a large army to clean it up, otherwise it will not send an envoy, maybe the imperial court is thinking that the prince can settle down in Shannan West Road."

Li Rupei's face showed a smile again.

"Old Qian, maybe you are too obsessed with the imperial court and have lost your basic judgment ability, how can the imperial court let a certain person be in charge of Shannan Xidao so easily, even if someone puts forward such a suggestion, will Tian Lingzi, who controls the court situation, agree, don't think about things so simply, you can conclude that there will be no good ending for the envoy sent by the imperial court this time."

Qian Shiqu nodded, but he didn't believe what Li Rupei said.

"I know you don't believe it very much, but there will be results soon, you go to the official post to make arrangements, since the imperial court has sent an envoy, a certain can't be supported, an hour later, a certain will go to see these two envoys of the imperial court."

Qian Shiqu left the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy and immediately went to make arrangements.

Li Rupei did not leave the wing room, he paced slowly in the wing room, thinking about the purpose of the imperial court sending the envoy this time, he could not ignore the envoy sent by Huang Chao, but he could not ignore the envoy sent by the imperial court, I believe that the imperial court sent the envoy to come, he definitely did not want to keep it secret, and he was eager to leak the news immediately, because in doing so, it could disturb the hearts of many officials in Shannan West Road.

In the final analysis, Li Rupei's identity is not suitable, so far, the officials sent to the Yamen of Fuzhou County are difficult to be justified when they are acting in government affairs, after all, they have not been recognized by the imperial court, and those officials who remain must also think about the approval of the imperial court in their hearts, and the thousands of years of loyalty to the monarch are thought of being eliminated in a short period of time, which is simply unrealistic.

Li Rupei himself can ignore those illusory things, but he can't ignore the thoughts of many officials, if he can get the approval of the imperial court, it is the best.

The fortress has always been breached from within, and as long as he can have a public identity, he is enough to use and develop his own strength, and it is a fair and honest development force.

But this time the imperial court sent an envoy, I am afraid it is not so simple, Tian Lingzi, who controls the court situation, wishes that he Li Rupei would disappear immediately, how could the imperial court satisfy his Li Rupei's wishes.

Shannan Xidao needs a peaceful environment, at least not to be disturbed by the outside world, although this idea is a bit unrealistic, but if it can be done, it is better to try to buy time, after all, fighting and killing will hurt the innocent, and it will make the Iron and Blood Army suffer greatly to a certain extent.

Li Rupei has a full understanding of the battle above the officialdom, thousands of years of officialdom culture, there have been a lot of talents, and there are many summaries of this aspect after a thousand years, and they are also capable people, because of their different personalities, their encounters in the officialdom are very different.

Half an hour later, Li Rupei, who was ready, set off and headed for the official post.

He did not choose to meet the two envoys of the imperial court in the Jiedu envoy Yamen, which is also seriously considered, from the current situation, Li Rupei in front of the imperial envoys, can not be neither arrogant nor humble, to have the posture of a superior, but can not be too tough, that is asking for trouble. If the two envoys of the imperial court are allowed to come to the yamen of the Jiedu envoy, this will have the meaning of dessert and demonstration, presumably the two envoys must be uncomfortable, perhaps because of such a small matter, it will bury hidden dangers for the conversation.

It is rare for the imperial court to send two envoys to come, and the two envoys are both Langzhong, both of whom are from the rank of the fifth grade, so who is the main one, it is said that the imperial court should not do such things.

There are some mysteries in his heart, Li Rupei did not have much hope for the envoys sent by the imperial court this time, but only hoped that the two envoys would not muddy the pool of water in Shannan West Road.

When he was about to arrive at the official post, Li Rupei saw Qian Shiqu waiting in front of the official post.

His mood is even heavier, Qian Shiqu is his confidant, and he still has a glimmer of hope for the imperial court, not to mention other officials, it seems that this conversation with the imperial court envoy is not so easy, it is definitely not the attitude of slapping the table and smashing the bench, even if the imperial court intends to make things difficult, you must think of a good way to deal with it, and you can't be reckless.

Qian Shiqu greeted him from afar, and Li Rupei sighed slightly and quickened his pace.
