Chapter 932

"Your Majesty, Duke of Wei, Pei Ji, requests an audience."

Li Er was angry in his heart and originally had no interest in seeing anyone.

He waved his hand and threw a large yellow peach at the eunuch.

"Not seeing him! Tell him to get lost!"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that this Pei Ji had also been to the Harsha Empire before and had even negotiated a treaty with the Harsha King.

Although the treaty didn't last long before the Harsha King was killed by Wang Xuance.

But Pei Ji had truly achieved great merit!

"Wait! Let Pei Ji come to see me!"

The eunuch held the large yellow peach and hurriedly went to summon Pei Ji.

He didn't dare to throw away or eat the yellow peach the Emperor had used to hit him, so he could only hold it with both hands.

Soon, Pei Ji arrived.

"Your Majesty, what is the reason for such a great temper?"

"Just some trivial matters."

Li Er brushed it off lightly.

He really didn't have the face to say it.

Ten thousand pigs and one hundred thousand shi of grain were indeed not too big a deal.

This matter had no difficulty; as long as the supplies were sent over and Li Tai was brought back, it would be considered completed.

"What do you have to report to me?"

Pei Ji was actually quite embarrassed.

But for the sake of the Pei family, no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to speak.

"Your Majesty, I was previously captured by Great Qin, and it was only thanks to Your Majesty ceding land that I was able to return. I have always kept Your Majesty's great kindness in my heart!

But since returning to Jin Ling, my son and I have had nothing to do.

Having been idle at home these days, I still hope to contribute some meager strength to the prosperity of Great Tang."

Li Er understood.

This old fellow was here to ask for an official position.

After the Pei father and son were brought back from Chang'an by Li Er, they had been left out in the cold and given no arrangements.

If this continued, the Pei family would slowly decline.

Li Er said casually.

"There happens to be a matter right now; do you dare to make another trip to Tianzhu?"

The pigs and grain that Wang Xuance wanted had to be sent by someone, otherwise his son Li Tai wouldn't be able to return.

At least Pei Ji was familiar with the road, and perhaps he had some acquaintances over in Tianzhu?

Upon hearing that he had to go to Tianzhu again, Pei Ji was actually somewhat unwilling in his heart.

But he had no choice.

If he didn't do this job arranged by the Emperor, he might never have any work to do again.

Helplessly, Pei Ji bowed his head.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Tianzhu again!"

In this day and age, it was not easy to achieve some merit.

Seeing Pei Ji agree, Li Er told him that there was another secret mission for this trip to Tianzhu.

"Pei Ji, you remember the monk Master Bianji, right?"

The reason Pei Ji lost his position before was because of a monk. Although that monk wasn't Master Bianji, it was Faya.

Last time he went to the Harsha Empire, Master Bianji was still the State Preceptor and the commander-in-chief of the army.

On the way back, Pei Ji had also followed Master Bianji's army for a long distance.

It was just that as soon as they separated, Pei Ji was captured by Great Qin.

Being reminded of this disgraceful incident by Li Er again, his old face twitched.

But he still answered honestly.

"I recognize him."

Li Er didn't notice the awkward expression on Pei Ji's face, thinking only that he was moved by the Emperor's immense grace.

"This time when you go to Tianzhu, you must find a way to assist Master Bianji and try to provide him with more cover so he can hide better.

Do you understand what this means? Master Bianji needs to lurk in Tianzhu and continuously cause trouble for Great Qin.

Therefore, don't be in a hurry to return; stay for a while longer to provide cover for Master Bianji."

Pei Ji finally understood that Master Bianji had such a difficult task over there.

He could only mourn for Master Bianji in his heart.

Pei Ji felt that what Master Bianji had to do had no hope at all.

But that was none of his business.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will try my best to cover for Master Bianji!"

Pei Ji didn't want to pour cold water on the Emperor.

Let the Emperor do as he pleases. He just wanted an official position; the Pei family really couldn't hold on much longer.

Li Er was quite satisfied with Pei Ji's attitude.

"I attach great importance to Master Bianji's operation in Tianzhu this time. Who would have thought that there would be a population of over twenty million in that place called Tianzhu?

If Great Tang obtains this piece of land, our national strength will surely be able to surpass Great Qin in one fell swoop!"

Pei Ji didn't expect that Li Er would have such great ambition?

Wouldn't this kind of fantasy be a bit too unrealistic?

No matter from which angle you look at it, Great Tang couldn't possibly be a match for Great Qin!

After thinking about it, Pei Ji still didn't say any words of rebuttal.

He was no longer the favorite in front of the Emperor he once was.

Now he was cautious at every step, only seeking to preserve his Pei family.

"Your Majesty, then I will go now. May our Great Tang rise up and may our national fortune flourish!"

Li Er waved his hand and let Pei Ji go down.

Using Pei Ji this time was not just about using his talent.

Li Er had another intention, which was to let Pei Ji attract Great Qin's attention and provide convenience for others; if he died, he died, this person was not important.
