Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 410 Zhang Xuansu Was Assassinated

Li Tai said: "Peacock, the scheduling of business routes, publicity, these things are left to you to handle.

In addition, Goguryeo's money and food are separately accounted for, because the money earned will be handed over to the palace after the tax is paid!

With regard to Bai He, you can help Peacock! "

"Follow the order!" "Follow the order!" When the two heard Li Tai's order, they answered Li Tai with two relatively straightforward responses.

"King Wei, are you using Guan Zhong's tactics against Goguryeo?!" Du Chuke said at this moment, "The imperial court is going to attack Goguryeo!"

When Du Chuke's words reached this point, his words trembled more or less.

This may be the instinctive fear of the older generation of conquering Goguryeo.

Because in their opinion, after the powerful Sui Dynasty touched the fast stone of Goguryeo several times, various internal problems broke out and collapsed directly.

Now seeing that Datang is planning to set his goal on Goguryeo, even Du Chuke, who has been silent for a long time, can't help but feel a little dignified.

Because of facing Goguryeo, Du Chuke was excited and even more apprehensive.

"En!" Li Tai nodded and said to Du Chuke, "This is inevitable, so we must be fully prepared."

Du Chuke nodded heavily. Du Chuke did not object to Li Tai's point of view, and even supported it.

At least in Du Chuke's view, no matter how many backhands he prepared to deal with Goguryeo, it was not too much.

Li Tai said with a serious expression: "In addition to implementing Guan Zhong's policy, as for another matter, it depends on Aye's order.

See if he intends to do business with Goguryeo himself, or let us do business with Goguryeo, and use low-priced food to overwhelm the food prices of the people of Goguryeo!

What we have to do is not only to buy Goguryeo's special products at high prices to encourage the people to produce them.

And to sell grain at a low price, so that the people of Goguryeo will lose money as long as they grow grain, and it will be a big loss!

So that we can completely control the rations of Goguryeo!When a war breaks out in the future, then all food will be cut off! "

Everyone looked at Li Tai, their eyes were no longer jealous, they even had a bit of fear!

They absolutely did not expect that King Wei, who seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, would be so ruthless when planning Goguryeo.

This is completely denying Goguryeo a way to live. They can even imagine what a miserable scene Goguryeo will be when the Tang Dynasty crusades against Goguryeo.

And all this has been planned by King Wei today!

As for the star-like brilliance already blooming in Wu Mei's eyes on one side, while recording, she thought in her heart:

"Could it be that this is planning a strategy and winning thousands of miles away.

If one day I can be like the king of Wei, deciding whether a country thousands of miles away will be destroyed with a single word, then it may be my goal all along! "

But Li Tai ignored these people and continued: "In addition, these transactions are best done with a certain official in Goguryeo.

Power ministers have no natural justice in terms of etiquette, so they will rely more on our Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, we need to communicate well with the Wenhua people inside Goguryeo, and let them advocate learning from our Tang culture.

It is best to let Goguryeo carry out restructuring, and let their system completely imitate our Datang system! "

"Why is this?!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Du Chuke couldn't help being a little puzzled.

But Li Tai said calmly, "If Goguryeo can win the first battle and completely imitate our Datang system, then it will be easier for our Datang to take over and manage, and there will be no unnecessary management turmoil.

If we can't win a battle, then this internal power of Goguryeo, which imitated our Tang Dynasty, will inevitably be suppressed in an all-round way, which will further weaken Goguryeo's strength.

After all, if you can't win in one battle, then the generals will attack Goguryeo year after year.

Such a Goguryeo, I am very curious, whether it can experience internal turmoil again! "

The few people present looked at Li Tai and talked about it, but for some reason, they felt like their hairs were standing on their backs.

King Wei has always given everyone the impression that he is a benevolent image of serving the people wholeheartedly and worrying about the country and the people.

But now looking at King Wei in front of them, they knew for the first time that when King Wei was plotting against others, he really didn't give him a chance to survive!

Even now that they know King Wei's plan and put them in the position of King Goguryeo, they find that they want to resist Li Tai's calculations, but they can't think of any reliable way.

Because of Li Tai's policy of Guan Zhongzhi, King Wei was willing to spend money on this kind of thing, unless there was no trade all the time, as long as there was trade, then this policy would inevitably start.

Looking back now, I can clearly see that six years ago when King Wei or King Yan established a trading port with Goguryeo in Tianjin, he was probably planning this package plan.

Even for the smoothness of this plan, the king of Wei insisted on not intervening in the trade between the two parties in recent years, so as to truly build trust in the trade between the two parties, so that Goguryeo could let go of his guard a little bit.

And at this moment, King Wei was about to make a ruthless move. The purpose of this whole plan was to kill Goguryeo.

Therefore, in order to seek the country, Li Tai has really planned and calculated for more than ten years. Whoever finds out that this is not scary.

Don't look at the current King Wei who seems to be very talkative, but in reality, King Wei's heart is cut, and I'm afraid it's completely dark.

"What's wrong with you, why don't you talk anymore!" Li Tai looked at the sudden silence around him, but he didn't understand.

"What the King of Wei said is very clever, this Goguryeo will definitely be my Tang Dynasty under the plan of King Wei!"

Du Chuke resolutely said, "Such a plan is something mediocre talents like me can plan!"

Li Tai looked at Du Chuke and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, I can't carry it out without you!"

Li Tai looked at Lu Cai, who was admiring the shameless face of Du Chuke at this moment, and continued:

"About these plans, I will write a copy to Li Chunfeng. After all, the overall plan wants to be planned. All we can do is prepare materials, money and food.

The person who actually conducts the operation is probably still in Youzhou. Li Chunfeng, who knows the situation in Goguryeo, is the most suitable. "

The group of people nodded thoughtfully when they heard Li Tai's words, at least in their opinion, it was true.

"In addition to preparing these materials, the next most important thing is to hold the Luoshui Game and assist Zhenru in finishing the entire project.

The game of Chuke Luoshui is left to you to handle, according to last year's regulations.

At most, if any of the players who participated in the top ten competitions last year participated, they will directly enter the main competition. As for last year's champion Fan Yuefeng, they will directly wait for challengers in the top four competitions! "

Li Tai looked at Du Chuke and said seriously, "The game of Luoyang is related to Luoyang's taxation, so we can't ignore it!"

"Chuke understands that he will definitely hold this event properly." Du Chuke replied very seriously.

"Wei Xu!" Li Tai looked at Wei Xu and said,

"For Wang Zhenru's affairs, you should do a good job of assisting him. If he needs you to deal with anything, you should assist him as much as possible!"

"I obey the order!" Wei Xu nodded heavily to Li Tai when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Okay, everything else remains the same, and our task this year is to end this year smoothly.

After this project is completed, I think I will go to Chang'an! "Li Tai said in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!" Several people present looked at each other when they heard Li Tai's words, and they couldn't help showing a little excitement in their eyes.

At this moment, Wu Mei looked around at the people around her. At this moment, she didn't understand at all why returning to Chang'an, which sounded simple, would make this group of people so excited.

However, she also had a little bit of secret joy in her heart, but is she also qualified to leave for Chang'an with King Wei? !
For her who has never left Luoyang since she came to Luoyang, facing the unfamiliar Chang'an, she has a bit of longing and a bit of fear. eager.

And Li Tai's work is carried out step by step, and there is not much to say.

Li Shimin's arrival gave him the task, and for Li Tai, it was just an episode.

After all, for Li Tai now, the most important thing is to complete his own repairs and return to Chang'an smoothly.

However, compared to Li Tai's calmness in Luoyang, Li Shimin's return to Chang'an may not be so smooth.

Back in Chang'an, I found that the prince was living a very chic life these days. He and Li Yuanchang, who had been reprimanded by him many times, worked hand in hand, got along day and night, and went hunting.

He even divided the guards around him into two teams. The prince and Li Yuanchang each led a team, wearing armor and holding bamboo spears. They stabbed each other until there was bleeding, as a new entertainment.

Among them, if there were guards who did not obey orders, they would be hung from a tree and beaten, and some of them would even be beaten to death.

Because Zhang Xuansu was assassinated and lying at home, few people around the prince dared to come out to persuade him.

Li Chengqian enjoyed the right of this moment very much, and said: "If I were the emperor of the Tang Dynasty today, and tomorrow I set up barracks for ten thousand people in the Forbidden Garden, and commanded them separately from the King of Han, wouldn't it be fun to watch them fight!"

Hanwang Li Yuanchang laughed loudly, glanced at the subordinate officer who was about to step forward with resentment in his eyes, and said:

"The sage will be rebuked by the officials, and I am afraid that he may not be as happy as today."

Li Chengqian replied, "If I want to be the emperor, I must indulge my passions and kill anyone who advises me. I only need to kill a few hundred people, and everyone will be safe."

Then, those subordinate officials who were going to go up to make a complaint, finally stopped decisively.

After all, they are neither Wei Zheng nor Zhang Xuansu, their bones are really not so hard.

However, because too many people participated in this matter, Li Chengqian and Han Wang Li Yuanchang didn't feel that they were wrong.

Then it spread out naturally, and when he realized that he wanted to make amends, he realized that it was too late, so Li Chengqian directly ordered silence.

When Li Shimin returned to Chang'an and heard the news, he felt a heavy blow to his head.

He really didn't understand how Li Chengqian, who he cultivated carefully and carefully selected Confucian masters to teach, became like this.

Li Shimin didn't know whether Li Chengqian's words were just a joke or he really did.

But no matter how you say it, now Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince has been seriously shaken in Li Shimin's heart.

After all, with what Li Chengqian is showing now, he is infinitely close to Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang. If the Tang Dynasty is handed over to him in the future, Li Shimin feels that his Li Tang is about to end.

But at this time, Empress Changsun saw the depression in Li Shimin's heart, and said to Li Shimin first,

"Should the sage go to see Zhang Zuo's concubine who was assassinated first, in order to show the sage's benevolence and kindness!"

Li Shimin patted Empress Changsun's hand when he heard Empress Changsun's words, but said in relief: "Guanyin maidservant, you go back to the palace first, I will go and see Zhang Xuansu first as you said!"

Empress Changsun nodded and said no more, because Empress Changsun knew very well that with Zhang Xuansu as a buffer, she would at least be relatively calm when dealing with Li Chengqian's matter.

After all, no matter how ineffective Li Chengqian is, he is still his son!

Li Shimin went to see Zhang Xuansu at this time.

It has to be said that if the sharp blade that assassinated Zhang Xuansu was a little more deflected, then Zhang Xuansu might really be dead. Seeing this scene, Li Shimin could not help but clenched his fists.

Although Zhang Xuansu was not dead, he was very weak. When he saw Li Shimin coming, he wanted to get up to meet him, but Li Shimin held him down.

Li Shimin said to Zhang Xuansu, "Zhang Qing has a good rest. I will let Sun Fujia keep an eye on this case. We must find out the murderer who assassinated Zhang Qing and bring him to justice!"

Zhang Xuansu heard Li Shimin's words, especially knowing that the first thing Li Shimin did when he returned to Chang'an was to see himself, but he was very moved.

I wanted to say something at first, but in the end, I endured it.

Regarding the murderer who assassinated him, Zhang Xuansu had some guesses, but not to mention that he didn't have the most direct evidence, more importantly, Zhang Xuansu couldn't tell his guess because of his thoughts of supporting the Ming Lord and prospering the Tang Dynasty all the time.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Xuansu didn't say anything to Li Shimin, but just said to Li Shimin:

"The subject is seriously injured now, but he is not allowed to persuade the prince by his side. Now that the prince is upright and young and frivolous, please ask the sage to supervise him!"

Zhang Xuansu was thinking about it in bed these days, his self-cultivation and Confucianism made it impossible for Zhang Xuansu to directly expose the prince.

Although I am not afraid of continuing to follow the prince, I really need to recuperate for a while.

When I heard that I was not with the prince, the prince followed the king of Han to get close to Mo Zhehei, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.

So now that Li Shimin is here, Zhang Xuansu quickly suggested to Li Shimin that he must keep an eye on Li Chengqian.

Hearing Zhang Xuansu's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved. This is a loyal minister, and he said: "It is according to Zhang Qing's words, Zhang Qing, you should rest well. I will keep the Zuo concubine of the Prince's Mansion for you all the time."

"My lord, thank you for your grace!" Zhang Xuansu lay on the bed, his eyes filled with tears of emotion.
