Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 379 Determine the Candidate, Find the Five Surnames and Qiwang Laowo
The next day dawned.

Qin Huaiyu found Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan, I want to lead the team to Goguryeo."

Qin Huaiyu was very imposing, and said bluntly as soon as he saw Fang Yuan.

There was no hesitation, not even a greeting first.

"So suddenly?"

"What happened?"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

Leading a team to Goguryeo is life-threatening.

Coupled with the fact that the number of people is too small, the generals are unwilling to take this job.

Qin Huaiyu knew about this a long time ago, and never said that he wanted to go.

Why did you suddenly come to me and say that you want to lead the team?

"I don't want to stay in Chang'an City to be someone else's knife, so just agree."

Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.

"You explain the situation first."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

If you don't want to be someone else's knife, that means being used by others.

Anyway, Qin Huaiyu is also a friend, Fang Yuan can't let him have an accident.

"The assassination of the king of Shu was fake, and he wanted to use me to correct the king of Wei, Li Tai, and kill the king of Wei, his competitor."

Qin Huaiyu sat down angrily, and said in a deep voice.

Last night, he confronted Li Ke and asked some questions from it.

The reason why he chose himself was because he had his eyes on his father and wanted to win him over to join him.

Because Qin Qiong is now neutral, and even the emperor doesn't like it very much, almost idle.

But Qin Qiong is famous, even if he is left idle by the emperor, he can bring some support to Li Ke.

So Li Ke was assassinated in front of Qin Huaiyu and was rescued by Qin Huaiyu. Later, he used this to be good to the Qin family, thus creating an unbreakable relationship with Qin Qiong.

"Two birds with one stone?!"

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

Li Ke is really smart, not only has a relationship with the Qin family, but also pointed the finger at Li Tai.

It's just that both of them are princes, Li Ke's doing this undoubtedly pushed the competition between the two to the stage and became more intense.

The former prince hadn't left Chang'an City for a long time, are they younger brothers impatient to set their sights on the prince's position?
"I have no evidence to say that the King of Shu was assassinated in a fake manner, so I can't say anything."

"But I don't want to be used as a sword by him. It is best to leave Chang'an City directly."

Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.

If you stay away from Chang'an City, you won't be affected by these things.

It just so happens that Fang Yuan still lacks people here, which is the best excuse to leave Chang'an City, and it may also make meritorious service.

Leading the team to Goguryeo this time is a major event for the country. If it succeeds, the official position will be raised by at least one level when they come back.

"Did your father agree?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said in a deep voice.

This trip is dangerous, without Qin Qiong's consent, Fang Yuan dare not agree.

"This is a letter from my father."

Qin Huaiyu took out a letter and said.

Fang Yuan opened it, and there were a few words on it.

The meaning is obvious, it is to agree with Qin Huaiyu to lead the team.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan didn't hesitate any longer, and agreed to Qin Huaiyu's request.

Now he is also having a headache to lead the Goguryeo team, so let Qin Huaiyu who volunteered to lead the team.

"Okay, I'm leaving at noon, now go back and get ready."

Qin Huaiyu nodded heavily.

He didn't want to stay in Chang'an City for a moment, and he didn't want to be used by Li Ke.

Fang Yuan sent him out, and asked the giant to bring his ideas to prepare three hundred firecrackers.

As for the 300 people, they were selected from Li Shimin's army, and Qin Huaiyu selected them.

Similarly, this is a big matter, Fang Yuan needs to go to the palace to report to Li Shimin.

"Qin Huaiyu's heart is commendable!"

"But he is so young, may he be inexperienced."

Li Shimin frowned slightly after listening to the report.

Qin Huaiyu is talented, but too young to be afraid of making mistakes.

"Maybe, but there is no better candidate."

"If Your Majesty has a choice, you don't have to go with Qin Huaiyu."

Fang Yuan shrugged and said.

"Then Qin Huaiyu."

Li Shimin no longer has an opinion.

The Goguryeo event is very important, but there are only 300 people.

The generals in the court are unwilling to take such a small number of people to take risks, and look down on them.

So it is difficult to choose candidates.

Now it is rare for someone to take the initiative to lead the team, and the ability is good, so I don't think so much.

"it is good."

Fang Yuan nodded, ready to leave.

But at this moment, a fat man broke into the Royal Study Room.

He walked very fast, the flesh on his body was shaking, and his walking sound was rumbling.

"Father, this son-in-law has absolutely nothing to do with the assassination of the third brother, it's all insinuations outside!"

Wei Wang Li Tai came in.

Just pretending that he didn't see Fang Yuan, he knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

He had a huge body, and when he knelt on the ground, he almost lost control of lying on the ground.

"Nonsense, who sent the news?!"

Li Shimin's expression turned cold suddenly, and he said in a deep voice.

He naturally did not believe that his son would kill each other.

Someone outside must have deliberately guided Li Tai to mislead him as the instigator behind the scenes.

"It was uploaded from the Shu Palace!"

Li Tai said angrily with a face full of grievances.

"What about people?"

"Catch me!"

Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Insinuators, be damned!

"Yes!"

Li Tai should be right away.

Get up and get ready to go to work.

However, the body is too fat to get up.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with pity, and he motioned for the eunuchs to help them up quickly.

Not long after, Li Tai left the imperial study with his chubby body, coming and going in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I retire!"

Only at this time did Fang Yuan have the opportunity to say that he wanted to leave.

"and many more!"

"Fang Yuan, do you think the two brothers will kill each other because of the crown prince?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He didn't believe that Li Ke and Li Tai would kill each other, but all the current spearheads were directed at Li Tai.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, many people have killed each other for the throne."

Fang Yuan was silent for a while before speaking.

This sentence may make Li Shimin very upset.

This undoubtedly shows that Li Ke and Li Tai may kill each other, and it also reminds Li Shimin how he came to power.

"Go away!"

Li Shimin was furious.

He picked up a safe thing and threw it at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan turned pale with shock, quickly stepped aside, and left the imperial study room.

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin was so angry that he was out of breath and couldn't calm down for a long time.

But he had to agree with what Fang Yuan said, and his heart became heavy for a while.

The struggle for imperial power has been a test of human nature since ancient times, and it is difficult for oneself to resist.

Not long after, Li Tai brought back a man dressed as a servant.

After interrogation, Li Shimin learned that the other party felt sorry for his master and said it out of anger.

"Intent to mess up the prince's relationship, take it down, behead!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

He wants to take this opportunity to tell everyone.

Don't bite your tongue without evidence, the consequences will be serious.

"Forgive Your Majesty, Forgive Your Majesty, Forgive Your Majesty, Forgive Your Majesty"

The servants of the Shu Palace repeatedly cried for mercy, but they couldn't stop being beheaded.

As soon as the news of the beheading came out, the mood in Chang'an City suddenly changed, and no one in the tavern dared to discuss it casually.

But not daring to talk about it is one thing, but it doesn't mean that things won't happen. The competition between Li Ke and Li Tai didn't give way because of a beheading, but became the fuse instead.

Li Shimin thought that the dispute between the princes would stop for a while, so he stepped up his search for the whereabouts of the five surnames and seven wang patriarchs.

Finally, through unremitting efforts, the people sent out by Li Shimin found the lair of Wu Xing Qiwang.

Therefore, Li Shimin summoned Fang Yuan late at night.

"Fang Yuan, I have found the lair of the five surnames Qiwang, Cui Runyu and the others are there."

"I hope you can lead the team in person, and it is best to kill them all!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

The officials of the imperial court have something to do with the five surnames and seven hopes, so they may keep their hands.

Only Fang Yuan didn't have it, and it had nothing to do with the five surnames and Qiwang, so he definitely wouldn't hold back.

And Fang Yuan is still his own Yingmeng virtuous minister, if Fang Yuan can go in person, the probability of success will be very high.

"Is the imperial court capable of dealing with the chaos in the world?"

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

The previous chaos in Qingzhou and the chaos in various countries were all caused by the five surnames and Qiwang.

It can be seen from this that the energy of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is far greater than what everyone thinks.

If Cui Runyu and others are all killed, the five surnames and Qiwang may completely riot, and the world of Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.

The Tang Dynasty is different from other countries. The Tang Dynasty can use firecrackers to conquer other countries, but it cannot use firecrackers to suppress its own people.

"Anyway, it's already chaotic enough, so what if it's a little more chaotic?"

"If things develop to the point where peace is difficult, use force to suppress them!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"I understand."

Fang Yuan pondered for a while and then said.

"Here's their address!"

"Remember, you are the only one who knows!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

In order not to reveal the secret, he executed several people.

Now, only he and Fang Yuan know the lair of Wu Xing Qiwang.

"Where's the manpower?"

Fang Yuan took the paper, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.

Qiwang, with five surnames, lives in the south of the Yangtze River, where the waterways are well developed and the escape route is very good.

"I will let Li Junxian lead 1000 people, all under your arrangement!"

"When you arrive in Jiangnan, I will appoint and dismiss high-level officials in Jiangnan."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

The five surnames and Qiwang are in Jiangnan, which means that Jiangnan has become the base camp of the five surnames and Qiwang.

The officials there should already be untrustworthy, it is difficult to mobilize and help Fang Yuan to attack the five surnames and seven Wangs.

So in order not to affect Fang Yuan's work, Li Shimin decided to transfer the high-level officials in Jiangnan to muddy the water, so that the officials in Jiangnan could not help the five surnames and seven Wang.

"When to set off?"

Fang Yuan nodded, said in a deep voice.

1000 people is a bit small, but you can't mobilize too many people in the past. After all, it is not a war, and too many people are easy to be discovered by the five surnames and seven watchmen.

And with Li Shimin's personnel transfer, 1000 people is not too small.

"The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

It is very difficult to find the old nest of Qiwang with five surnames.

Starting too late, it is hard to guarantee that they will leave Jiangnan.

Moreover, Li Shimin will not be able to sleep well if he does not get rid of the five surnames and seven Wangs.

"Then tomorrow!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

Tomorrow is also good, go early and come back early.

Five surnames and seven wangs, these aristocratic moths should also be wiped out.

Their existence prevents the promotion of emerging things such as their own banknotes and hinders the development of society.

"Go ahead, hit the ground running!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Fang Yuan left, went back to the mansion and explained the situation to Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan was also very dissatisfied with the five surnames and Qiwang, and supported Fang Yuan's actions.

But I hope Fang Yuan can come back soon, after all she is almost eight months pregnant.

The next day dawned.

Fang Yuan and Li Junxian secretly left Chang'an City.

And those 1000 people also left Chang'an City one after another.

Afterwards, Fang Yuan and others took a boat to travel by water, and arrived in the south of the Yangtze River a few days later.

As soon as it was difficult to enter, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian found that the girls here became much more tender.

Compared with those in Chang'an City, the girls here feel more like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and are more tender on the whole.

At the same time, Fang Yuan discovered that there is actually a concrete road in the main city of Jiangnan, with a lot of traffic, and signs of industry have already appeared.

"Fang Yuan, I heard that brothels in the south of the Yangtze River are very famous, why don't you go play?"

Li Junxian looked at the beauties coming and going, and said with a wicked smile.

"You go, I don't have that idea now."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Now he is more concerned with finding out where Cui Runyu and the others are.

Moreover, Fang Yuan does not lack women in Chang'an City, so he is not interested in fooling around in Jiangnan for now.

"Cough, cough, that, Fang Yuan, you misunderstood, I want to say that the brothel is the most suitable place to inquire about the situation."

Li Junxian coughed twice in embarrassment.

The brothel is a great place to have a lot of fun.

At the same time, it also means collecting information, and can quickly find out where the five surnames and seven Wangs are.

The emperor only knew that the old nest of Qiwang with five surnames was in the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't know where Cui Runyu and others were.

"It is."

Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Opening a brothel by oneself is used to collect intelligence.

But unexpectedly, he even forgot that he could obtain information from the brothel.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian came to the most luxurious brothel in the south of the Yangtze River, living in love.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the brothel, a few young girls who were flamboyantly approached Fang Yuan.

"Guy, let's have some fun. Our girls here are the best in Jiangnan, and there is an oiran selection today."

The girls are very active and take the initiative to give the men a chance to profit.

"Arrange two boxes for us, and call the best girl to serve you."

Li Junxian said boldly.

As for money, he wasn't worried at all.

Going out with a rich man who prints money like Fang Yuan, are you still worried about money?
"okay!"

The girls immediately burst into smiles.

He personally took Fang Yuan and Li Junxian up to the second floor and opened two adjacent rooms.

Not long after, two attractive girls entered Fang Yuan and Li Junxian's room respectively.

"Officer, my servant Xiaolu, do you think it's okay?"

The young girl said softly with a clip tone.

"It's okay, come here and give me a massage."

Fang Yuan took a serious look, and felt that his appearance and figure were good.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiaolu smiled happily, came in with hot water, and closed the door smoothly.

"Xiaolu, the layout of your place is very peculiar, and I really miss the design of the White Tiger Club."

Fang Yuan looked at the layout here, he felt that it was very similar to the one in Baihu Club, even there was a toilet.

"The guest officer's vision is really good. Our Qingmiju was designed according to the Baihu Club. Nowadays, almost all the brothels in Jiangnan are designed like this."

Xiaolu came to Fang Yuan, began to wash and massage Fang Yuan's face.

"Jiangnan is really good, it's my first time here."

"I want to live here for a while. Are there any forces in the city that I should pay special attention to?"

Fang Yuan started to get into the topic, to see if he could ask about the situation of the five surnames and Qiwang from Xiaolu's mouth.
