Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1849 Intrigue
After retiring from the court, Li Ke and Li Tai's expressions were not very good.

They never expected that Du Zhenglun would emerge out of the competition among the princes.

And this Du Zhenglun is a man of Li Zhi, King of Jin. If so, they lost to Li Zhi instead.

But this Li Zhi is only in his teens, in their view, Li Zhi is still a child.

They lost to a child.

Angry, very angry.

Of course, they also knew that if Li Zhi didn't have the support of his eldest grandson Wuji, he would not be qualified to fight them at all. What does Li Zhi have in the court?
However, they were still a little bit unwilling to lose like this.

When they thought this way, they soon thought of Prince Li Chengqian again. Although Jin Wang Li Zhi took a big advantage this time, their most important enemy now must still be Prince Li Chengqian.

If so, even if they do anything next, it will definitely be aimed at Prince Li Chengqian.

After Li Ke returned to the mansion, he quickly found his cronies.

"How long will it take for those refugees to come to the capital?"

"My lord, it's coming soon, three or four days at most, there are as many as 2 people."

There are [-] to [-] hungry people, which is definitely not a small number. After these people come, they all need to eat. How much can the court provide for them?
Li Ke thought about it for a moment, and then thought of a way to deal with Prince Li Chengqian. He murmured to his cronies.

After Prince Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he was still very excited.

Although he failed to go to Henan Province for disaster relief, his father entrusted him with the disaster relief work in Chang'an City. If he does well, his reputation in Chang'an City will be more stable.

If so, it's okay.

And what he needs to do now is to make some preparations for what will happen next.

Twenty thousand hungry people came to the capital. It is impossible to say that they will not cause any trouble, so some preparations are necessary.

And while Li Ke and Prince Li Chengqian were making preparations for their affairs, Qin Tian was still leisurely staying at the mansion, enjoying the family happiness.

However, he also heard about the famine in Henan Province, and after hearing about it, he became a little worried.

Famine is not an easy thing to deal with. Although the court has just received some food taxes and the warehouses are relatively abundant, with so many hungry people, the food they need is not a small amount, right?
I am afraid that the imperial court's grain farm will go down a lot.

There may even be shortages.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian smiled helplessly.

When he learned that the crown prince Li Chengqian was in charge of the hungry people in Chang'an City, Li Shimin pouted again. The current prince Li Chengqian had some thoughts and traces of fighting, but sometimes, some things should not be too aggressive.

The matter of the hungry people is not easy to handle, if he can not do it, Qin Tian actually suggested that he not do it.

But now that everything is done, he has no choice but to hope that the disaster relief work will go smoothly, and nothing will happen.

The residence of the eldest grandson Wuji.

As soon as Changsun Wuji arrived at the residence, Du Zhenglun hurried over quietly.

He was going to Henan Province for disaster relief, and he had to listen to Changsun Wuji's instructions for this matter.

After the two of them sat down, Changsun Wuji said, "Lord Du, the matter of Henan Province is a big one. It must be done well. If you do it well, your position in the court will be strengthened, and His Royal Highness King Jin There is also a strong supporter, you understand?"

This Du Zhenglun naturally understood that since they all took refuge in Jin Wang Li Zhi, the honor and disgrace of Jin Wang Li Zhi also related to their honor and disgrace. Of course they wanted Li Zhi to be the crown prince.

"Master Changsun said it in time, this subordinate understands."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and then said: "What's more, the disaster relief work must be done well, but not too fast. It takes a little time, and there is no problem."

Hearing this, Du Zhenglun was a little puzzled. Under normal circumstances, if disaster relief is needed, the sooner the better, but Changsun Wuji asked him to slow down. If he slowed down, more people might die. man.

Du Zhenglun looked up at Changsun Wuji, and said, "What does Master Changsun mean?"

Changsun Wuji said: "His Royal Highness is responsible for the disaster relief in Chang'an City. If the disaster relief on your side is completed soon, the hungry people here will have to go back. If the hungry people here have gone back, His Highness the Crown Prince will also do the disaster relief." Even if it is completed, at that time, the crown prince will get credit, although it is small, but it will benefit more than His Royal Highness King Jin, so it is a good thing to give the crown prince some trouble."

Changsun Wuji wants to plot people, and others cannot escape.

In his opinion, this strategy of his can kill two birds with one stone.

After hearing this, Du Zhenglun already understood what Changsun Wuji meant. He somewhat felt that it was unkind to do so, but he had already become a member of Jin Wang Li Zhi, so he had to think about Jin Wang Li Zhi's future, so after a while, He still nodded his head, and he accepted it.

After Li Tai returned to the mansion, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

He didn't expect that his errand would be robbed by Prince Li Chengqian, but what he didn't expect was that Jin Wang Li Zhi's people would come out to rob him and rob him of the errand to Henan Road. If it wasn't for Du Zhenglun, the matter of Chang'an City , it must be his, and he can also let Li Ke and Li Chengqian's people fight there, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But now it seems that he has been neglecting his youngest brother, Jin Wang Li Zhi.

"We cannot let Jin Wang Li Zhi's power develop."

Today, there is a prince Li Chengqian and a Li Ke, which already make him a little difficult to deal with. Now that there is a Jin Wang Li Zhi, won't it be more difficult to fight for the position of the crown prince in the future?

If possible, he wanted to contain the power of Jin Wang Li Zhi in the bud.

If that's the case, Du Zhenglun's business can't be done beautifully.

After thinking about it this way, Li Tai quickly called someone in.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go to Henan Road and try to find a way to trouble Du Zhenglun, so that his disaster relief work will be frustrated."

After Li Tai gave such instructions, the man immediately nodded his head in response: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates know what to do."

After Li Tai nodded, that person quickly backed out.

Here in Chang'an City, undercurrents are surging, and I am afraid that soon, there will definitely not be peace in the Henan Road.

The struggle for imperial power was originally a conspiracy, accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.
