...

Li Ji was the first to come to Li Xiu's side.

As soon as he got to Li Xiu's side, Li Ji smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, hasn't Father called you to the Northeast yet?"

Li Xiu smiled back, and then said: "Not yet, maybe the father is too busy to take care of my little things, or maybe the father has no plans to let me go to the northeast at all, and has other arrangements for me."

Li Ji comforted Li Xiu and said, "Don't worry, fourth brother, the situation in the Northeast must be very complicated. I think that other than you, no one else can handle it, so the emperor will call you there sooner or later."

Li Xiu said modestly: "The eighth brother is really flattering me. We have a lot of talents in the middle and middle schools. What do I do these two times? Let alone those talents, in fact, among our brothers, there are some people who are more suitable than me to deal with it." Northeast problems."

At this time, Li Mao also came over and said, "Fourth Brother, I heard that Father asked you to write an article on the governance policy for the Northeast region. Could you let me read it?"

Li Xiu said with a smile, "It happens that brother 55 can help me polish it up."

Li Mao said with a smile: "In terms of policy, I don't dare to fight against others, but in terms of writing, I may be able to help fourth brother."

Li Xiu said with a smile: "Okay, the matter here will be over in a while, brother 55 will go to my place and have a sit."

Li Xiu said to Li Ji again: "The eighth brother also go for a drink together?"

Li Ji smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."

At this time, more and more princes joined Li Xiu.

Seeing this, Li Ji retreated with a smile, and gave up his place to the other brothers, then stood in the distance and watched Li Xiu talk to the brothers.

Not long after, a lot of people gathered around Li Xiu, they were chatting about current affairs or gossiping about family affairs around Li Xiu.

but--

There are also those who ignore Li Xiu, such as Li Ang and Li Xu, their brothers are not at all interested in Li Xiu who is of low background, and they are too lazy to talk to Li Xiu. On the contrary, they are very close to Li Ji, even closer than Li Cun Some.

Therefore, seeing that many people had joined Li Xiu, Li Ang and Li Xu looked at each other, and then they came to Li Ji's side in a spirit of loyalty to build up momentum for Li Ji.

In fact, without Li Ang and Li Xu's support for Li Jizhuang, there would be more princes around Li Ji than Li Xiu.

Slowly, as Li Xiu came in, the princes were divided into three waves - one wave surrounded Li Ji, one wave surrounded Li Xiu, and the other wave spread loosely like Li Yan, with neither side relying on each other.

Not long after, Li Cun, accompanied by the two princes, came from outside.

The prince on Li Cun's left is fair-looking, with a gentle face, and looks like a sunny boy from a neighbor's house.

His name is Li Ci, and he is the second son of Yu Zaoqian to Li Xiansheng.

but--

Although this kid looks harmless to humans and animals, and has the word "ci" in his name, Li Ci is actually the most murderous of Li Yan's sons.

Three years ago, Li Yan sent Li Ci to Dali to train.

As a result, the chieftain who was chased there by Li Ci committed a rebellion.

After Niu Gao quelled the chieftain's rebellion and arrested all those who participated in the rebellion, he asked Li Yan to deal with the chieftains who committed the rebellion.

At that time, Zhao Ding gave Li Yan a policy of reforming the land and returning it to the locals.

Li Yan sent someone to hand over this policy to Liu Ziyu, who was the magistrate in Dali at the time, to let him handle the matter with full authority, and hinted to Liu Ziyu to give Li Ci a chance—Li Yan wanted to see Li Ci's ability.

After receiving Li Yan's hint, Liu Ziyu found Li Ci and asked him to handle the matter.

In the end, Li Ci was really ruthless, and even killed the chieftain and his relatives who committed the rebellion.

This incident had a great impact at the time, and even many civil officials impeached Li Ci, saying that Li Ci was bloodthirsty.

But Li Ci was very murderous, but he solved once and for all those chieftains who dared to commit chaos, so some people praised Li Ci.

For the purpose of protecting Li Ci, Li Yan transferred Li Ci from Dali to Tubo.

I don't know why Li Ci recited it like that. Not long after he arrived in Tubo, the local Tubo people rebelled again.

In the end, without saying a word, Li Ci slaughtered all the Tubo people who dared to make trouble.

Two massacres were carried out in succession, and Li Ci's reputation was well known.

Those literati began to criticize Li Ci severely from the height of morality, and asked Li Yan to deal with Li Ci.

But in the end, Li Yan only called Li Ci back and told him to go to the library to read the books for three months, and then released Li Ci, never mentioning the punishment of Li Ci.

Moreover, Li Yan once said to people that Li Ci is a genius, and he will use the simplest method to deal with the most complicated things.

In addition, news spread that besides Li Xiu, Li Ci would also go to the Northeast.

The prince on Li Cun's right is chubby, no matter how you look at him, he is honest and honest, just like a Maitreya Buddha.

His name is Li Da, and he is Li Huiqiao's first son to Li Xiansheng.

But don't be fooled by Li Da's appearance, he is the most economically savvy among Li Yan's sons, he is very sensitive to numbers by nature, even the magician Jiang Jing praised him as a rare Math genius.

Five years ago, Li Yan sent Li Da to Duzhi to practice.

After half a year in Duzhi, this kid found out a serious loophole in Duzhi.

And that's not all, Li Da used that loophole to calculate that there was a gap of at least 3000 million in the income and expenditure of the household department last year.

Then, Li Da secretly reported the matter to Li Yan.

Later, Li Yan sent someone to investigate, and found out a bunch of corrupt officials from the third department.

In a fit of rage, Li Yan ransacked the homes of these corrupt officials and fined them heavily, and ended up getting more than 7000 million yuan.

It can be seen that these people have been greedy for more than a year or two.

Afterwards, Li Yan asked people to check the accounts, and it turned out that the shortfall last year was more than 300 million.

Li Da became famous in the first battle.

Later, Li Yan engaged in an anti-corruption campaign and asked Li Da to lead a team of elites to go to various counties in Dazhong to check taxes.

As a result, Li Da not only achieved outstanding results, but also submitted a tax reform proposal to Li Yan to close many tax loopholes in Dazhong.

Now, Li Da had gone to various counties across the country, and Li Yan called him back again, planning to throw him to the customs.

It is conceivable that it will not be long before there will be a big turmoil at the customs.

And that big turmoil was probably provoked by this smiling Li Da.

It can be said that both Li Ci and Li Da are the best among Li Yan's sons, and they are also rare talents in the world.

but--

Although Li Ci and Li Da had impressive resumes and were respected by all the brothers, but after they entered the door, no one's eyes stayed on them.

Why?
Just because the person who came in with them was Li Cun - all the eyes of the princes were on Li Cun!
