Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 437 The Conspiracy in Progress

Changsun Wuji arranged for his son to study obediently, and he was not Li Tai. He offended Confucianism since he was a child, and he still resisted to this day.

For Changsun Wuji, it was just a matter of saying hello if he wanted Changsun to become a Jinshi.

Of course, it is also for this reason that before the confrontation between King Wei and the prince has not really come to fruition, it is better to let his son take the Jinshi examination a few more times.

After all, my younger sister was worried that the eldest grandson's family would become Datang's relatives, and reenacted Yang Jian's story. With her pressure, even if Chong'er was admitted to Jinshi, he would have to be thrown to some corner to hone for a few years.

So since this is the case, it's better for my own father to train Changsun Chong well.

"When it's time to study, just study hard for me, and I don't ask you to be like King Wei, who awakened your talent before the age of 20, but as the heir of my eldest grandson's family, it's not too much to awaken your spiritual talent at the age of 40! "

Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong, thinking in his heart that he could not continue to let his son enjoy himself this time, but should train him well.

Chang Sun Chong couldn't help shivering, looking at the weeds rattling at the gate of the city, it must have been windy.

"Aye, it's windy, let's go home!" Changsun Chong said to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji nodded, and his thoughts couldn't help jumping to Li Tai, thinking in his heart:

"Through the proposal of the Silk Road, the king of Wei won over ten families, and with these ten families as the core, in the name of establishing the Chidao from Chang'an to Luoyang, all the families who wanted to participate in the pie were bound to him. .

In this way, during the construction period from Chang'an to Luoyang, the king of Wei will have a golden body. Whoever deals with him may suffer the collective backlash of the aristocratic family.

But is the construction of the road from Chang'an to Luoyang over?

No, when the news of the Silk Road comes, the rich wealth on the Silk Road will drive the family that has been tied to King Wei crazy.

At that time, the King of Wei proposed to build the Silk Road west of Chang'an, and the aristocratic families from top to bottom would win the favor.

And can it be done by someone else... To be honest, apart from King Wei, no one in this world is sure of it.

The consequences of Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal are vivid, who would dare to repeat the same mistakes!
But Wei Wang not only does not spend money but also makes money through the project, as well as the ability to provide money and food continuously like a boy who spreads money. If it were him, who would build this project!
Those aristocratic families who have bet on King Wei, and those aristocratic families who still want to have a sip of soup, are afraid they will go crazy!
Qing Que has only been in Chang'an for a few days, why do I feel that there is no hope for Cheng Qian?Why……"

To be honest, Changsun Wuji didn't understand what Li Chengqian was thinking, Li Shimin had already doted on Li Chengqian.

The matter of Li Chengqian's assassination of Zhang Xuansu was suppressed, otherwise the prince would send household slaves to beat the left concubine of the prince's mansion, causing people to almost die, and it would be more than enough for any dynasty to abolish Li Chengqian's crown prince.

Otherwise, no one in the entire Tang court would say such words as "the prince loses his virtue".

Although this matter was suppressed by Li Shimin's stance of letting Wei Zheng be a teacher, it also made those who originally supported the prince, and even a large part of the neutral faction, begin to cut off Li Chengqian decisively.

Because such a person is simply a lunatic, and such a person becomes the emperor, these officials can hardly imagine what their life in the court will be like in the future.

Then, Li Tai came back as a king, and proposed a plan that at least everyone can make money and Datang can develop.

Even though these aristocratic families were a little awkward at the beginning, they still leaned over honestly.

After all, they really let them choose, one is the prince who is becoming more and more crazy with tyrannical tendencies, and the other is the king of Wei who brings everyone together to make money...

Take your pick and see which one to choose.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Li Shimin who is sitting now who opened up the territory and established the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and whose martial arts and martial arts are unbelievably outstanding, then Li Chengqian would have been abolished long ago.

But Li Shimin can be decisive in major national affairs, but whenever it comes to relatives he cares about, he will become indecisive, let alone the shadow left by Xuanwumen.

"The road that Chengqian can and will walk in the future is probably Shimin's old road. But the current situation is completely different from the original situation!"

Changsun Wuji shook his head, he really didn't want to get involved in it.

To be honest, as long as Changsun Wuji doesn't get carried away with joy, his sensitivity to trickery is very high.

But Changsun Wuji is also destined to be unsuitable to participate here because of his special status.

So Changsun Wuji chose to stand on the sidelines. Anyway, in Changsun Wuji's opinion, it was really too slim for Li Chengqian to win.

Of course, take ten thousand steps back, even if Li Chengqian performed supernaturally and killed Li Tai, he still has a nephew, and he can be in control by supporting him to the top.

Therefore, at this moment, Changsun Wuji sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Although he was aware of some changes in the situation, he adhered to the principle of not taking the initiative, not participating, and not knowing, and continued to be his own Zhao Guogong steadily.

However, compared to Changsun Wuji's sitting on the Diaoyutai, Li Chengqian was even more angry when the news of Li Tai's Chang'an to Luoyang Chidao construction came out.

He wanted to raise the pen washer in his hand and smash it, but because of Zhang Xuansu, Li Shimin cut off his qualification to go to the treasury to withdraw money wantonly, so he carefully put down the white jade pen washer in his hand.

Li Chengqian called Helan Chushi angrily, and said in a deep voice, "Go and meet Chen Guogong for a while!"

"Follow the order!" Helan Chushi set off immediately after hearing Li Chengqian's words.

Not long after, Hou Junji came.

Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian, although there was a bit of anger on his face, he had already calmed down.

Hou Junji was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's state, after all he also knew why Li Chengqian was angry.

Li Tai's proposed route from Chang'an to Luoyang has already been discussed with aristocratic families, big and small, so the Hou family is naturally indispensable.

"Qing Que's large-scale construction and win over people's hearts has become a confidant's trouble. When this road leads to Chang'an, I am afraid that the crown prince will give way to Qing Que!" When Li Chengqian was threatened in front of him, his head was still very clear.

"Since that's the case, what does the crown prince plan to do?" Hou Junji couldn't help asking when he heard Li Chengqian's words.

"It's just that I haven't made any plans in my heart, so I contact Chen Guogong to discuss together!" Li Chengqian said.

When Hou Junji heard Li Chengqian's words, he nodded and said: "The prince has understood the worries in his heart.

But what XX means is to proceed step by step, and there is no need to cause chaos on our side because of King Wei's plan.

From a military point of view, sometimes the danger created by the other party can just become an opportunity that we can take advantage of! "

"What does Chen Guogong mean?" Li Chengqian looked at Hou Junji thoughtfully.

"Has the crown prince subdued Zhang Liang?" Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian and asked another question.

"Yun Guogong turned a blind eye to my good intentions, it's really hateful!" Li Chengqian couldn't help being annoyed when he heard Hou Junji's words.

"If that's the case, let Yun Guogong go to Luoyang to be the governor, and supervise the project of King Wei along the way!" Hou Junji calmly said to Li Chengqian.

"The widow and Qingque have always been at odds, so it is impossible for Qingque to agree to such a proposal!" Li Chengqian frowned.

Hou Junji said, "It doesn't matter whether King Wei agrees or not, the important thing is that the sage and the family will definitely agree.

Because it is precisely because you, Prince, are at odds with the King of Wei, Zhang Liang will supervise them and they will be at ease.

And you must keep Zhang Liang's status as Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion. First, the saint will not arrange a new Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, and secondly, this will make Zhang Liang stay in Luoyang. "

When Li Chengqian heard Hou Junji's words, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and when he looked at Hou Junji's eyes, he also admired him more and more.

It has to be said that Hou Junji is at least a good player in seizing the heir, and he has clearly planned his future.

"Prince, in the future, we can make good friends with King Han, King Qi and other Li clan kings." Hou Junji said calmly.

"Chen Guogong means..." Li Chengqian couldn't help being somewhat puzzled when he heard Hou Junji's words.

"Let's make friends with them first, at least until Zhang Liang has not transferred out of the Prince's Mansion, there is no point in going into details!" Hou Junji said.

"I have Chen Guogong to help me, so why worry about failure!" Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

To be honest, compared to when he wanted to rebel at the beginning but didn't know how to rebel, with Hou Junji joining, Li Chengqian had a much clearer idea of ​​what he was going to do next, and he looked at the direction of Tai Chi Hall even more fervently.

In the capital, the next things to be discussed basically revolve around the establishment of the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, the royal family, the clan, the imperial court, the family and other different forces, how to distribute the benefits, how to determine the investment .

But Li Tai doesn't care, because as long as he is in charge of building the Chidao, he will definitely be able to get the equity of the fifth floor through financial operations, and the remaining [-]% will be used as tradable shares in the future, and they will slowly quarrel with each other for the remaining four floors That's it.

Wait for the results of their quarrel.

However, what Li Tai did not expect was that Li Chengqian suggested that Zhang Liang, Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, lead the project. After all, Zhang Liang used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and knew civil engineering, so his status was very suitable.

Naturally, everyone would not agree to this matter, and even Zhang Liang himself was a little confused.

But after being vetoed by everyone, Li Chengqian said again, let Zhang Liang be the governor of Luoyang, and be responsible for supervising the entire project.

Still the same sentence, Zhang Liang used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, not to mention the construction ability, it is always no problem to check the accounts.

Facing Li Chengqian's proposal, the aristocratic family present thought for a while before refusing it.

To some extent, there is really no one more suitable than Zhang Liang.

Compared with other people, there are a few people who will not waver in the face of King Wei's money offensive, but only the prince will not waver.

Because the problem between the crown prince and the king of Wei is not about money at all, but about fighting for the position of supremacy!
Therefore, since it was the prince who arranged to supervise the project, it was quite appropriate no matter how you looked at it.

So after thinking about it, the courtiers quickly agreed to Li Chengqian's suggestion, and even Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian who was doing the right thing, more or less admiringly in his eyes.

After all, he is his own son, especially the son of the prodigal son.

If Li Shimin didn't have such slight hopes for Li Chengqian in his heart, he wouldn't let Wei Zheng be the prince and grand teacher, and even promised Wei Zheng's marriage.

Now watching Li Chengqian regain his strength, he feels that he did the right thing in transferring Li Tai from Luoyang.

But also because of this, Li Shimin's indecision about his relatives reappeared.

It's a bit like holding a stock that has fallen for a long time in your hand, watching it finally start to rise, whether to throw away the stop loss decisively, or hold it for another look, somewhat hesitant.

After all, I have held this stock for more than 20 years, and I have feelings for it!

But among this group of people, Zhang Liang was the most thoughtless. He only thought that he had done a good job in the Prince's Mansion, so why was he thrown to Luoyang for no reason.

Where is Luoyang, where is the capital so good!

So, Zhang Liang went to ask for a lottery, and in the end he got a popular hexagram, which really made Zhang Liang unable to understand.

Now that I am hanging out with the prince, even if I am sent to Luoyang, it can't be regarded as being demoted, at least it can't be regarded as popular at all.

At this time, Hou Junji took the initiative to find Zhang Liang. After all, Hou Junji also had his own plan.

When the plan is successful, Li Chengqian will inevitably find someone to check and balance himself. In Hou Junji's opinion, Zhang Liang is a very suitable person.

So I formed an alliance with him first to deal with the future.

Hou Junji asked Zhang Liang for a drink on purpose, and when he got drunk, he said angrily to Zhang Liang: "You are also excluded, you are going to leave the capital of Chang'an and go to Luoyang!"

Zhang Liang didn't understand his hexagrams in his heart, and said irritably: "You have been in contact with the prince recently, did you ask the prince to transfer me to Luoyang? I don't want to participate in the messy things between the prince and the king of Wei, it's really a headache. "

Hearing this, Hou Junji took a sip of his drink, as if complaining and uttering the truth after drinking, and said:

"When I pacified Gaochang and came back, I offended the emperor, so the crown prince came over to chat with me, how can I exclude you!

I'm almost depressed and can't live anymore, are you going to rebel?I rebel with you. "

After Hou Junji finished speaking, he waited for a while before Zhang Liang didn't say anything, and then fainted, as if he didn't say these words.

But Zhang Liang's mind suddenly cleared up when he heard Hou Junji's words, and seeing Hou Junji's appearance, he also decisively got drunk!

When the two woke up, they seemed to have forgotten what they said yesterday.

Zhang Liang sent Hou Junji out of the house with his front heel, and went to Li Shimin to make a small report with his back heel.

Li Shimin still trusts people he trusts, especially people like Hou Junji who are completely cultivated by himself, and said:
"You and Hou Junji are both heroes, and no one else heard this except you, so what can I do?
What's more, Hou Junji has been suppressed in the cold all these years, and it's normal for him to be a little bit resentful, just talking drunkenly.

You still go to Luoyang to take up the post first, and let this matter go first. "

Zhang Liang didn't talk too much, so he went to Luoyang to be the governor, and Li Shimin's treatment of Hou Junji did not change, he still treated Hou Junji as before, except for giving some money and food to comfort, but in terms of duties, he should still be suppressed.
