This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Regardless of whether Chang Sun Chong did something wrong or not, Li Er obviously made a decision.

As an emperor, how could he change his established policy just because of an accident.

In prison, Wei Zheng's life was actually pretty good.

After Li Er locked him in, he ignored him.

Those people in the prison will naturally not offend the former Duke of the Kingdom. Who is the brainless person who can hang out in this prison?

Before the dust settles, who would think that Wei Zheng's death is imminent?

But the busiest thing these days is actually Tangming Mall.

In the past, when Li Er and the Manchu Civil and Military Government existed, not to mention ordinary people, even those officials with a little rank were not qualified to come in, but these days, they have been given the opportunity.

For several days, Tangming Mall was the mainstream topic on the streets of Chang'an.

Especially those ladies, as long as they get together, they will inevitably ask, have you been to Tangming Mall?
  It was in this atmosphere that Tangming Mall began to shine in Chang'an, and those merchants who had been won over by the Cui family were completely unable to sit still.

They are not surprised by the strength of Ming Dynasty, but they are surprised by the opportunities that Ming Dynasty can bring.

Don't forget, Shopkeeper Feng, whom they looked down on before, became a popular figure in the entire Chang'an City in just a few months.

This is the most intuitive benefit of embracing the Ming Dynasty.

……

On the other side, in Riyue Mountain, Li Chengqian has been much more leisurely recently.

Ever since Chang Sun Chong sent someone back to take away the blueprints of the mall, he had guessed what Chang Sun Chong was planning to do, but he didn't have many ideas.

This is not his battlefield, so why should he worry?

It wasn't until this day that Changsun Chong sent someone to send back Li Er's secret letter. After reading Li Er's secret letter, Li Chengqian started to take it seriously.

He realized that he still underestimated his nominal father.

Immediately, Li Chengqian said: "It is said that Qibi Heli, Pu Xiruo, Yi Yuanfeng, Yi Yuanxi... have an audience at the Hall of Talents."

Soon, Qibi Heli and others walked in, bowed and said: "I will see you at last, Your Highness."

Li Chengqian waved his hand, took out Li Er's secret letter and the letter sent by Chang Sun Chong during this period, and said, "Please take a look at it first."

Since Changsun Chong went on his mission, he has sent a letter back every day to report the latest situation.

Of course, Qi Bi, He Li and others also received the previous information. The only thing they did not receive was Li Er's secret letter.

There was no way, no matter how courageous Changsun Chong was, he would not dare to open the secret letter from Li Er to Li Chengqian.

When everyone heard this, they were actually quite curious. When they opened the letter and looked at it, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, this is a God-given opportunity!" Yi Yuanfeng said directly, "Once the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty goes south to fight, the King of Shu will definitely take action against the Ming Dynasty. By then, the strength of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be insufficient. We can march to the Central Plains, just around the corner!
  Moreover, the secret letter from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty made it very clear that if he were to die during his southern expedition, His Highness could go straight to Chang'an to inherit the great treasure!

What is this if not a God-sent opportunity? We can even..."

After Yi Yuanfeng finished speaking, his face was full of excitement.

Taking down Tuyuhun is nothing, taking down Tubo and Subi is nothing, even taking down the Western Turks and even dozens of countries in the Western Regions is nothing, but if he can take over the Central Plains, it will definitely be him and even all the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty. All dreamed of.

At this moment, Pu Xiluo also looked excited. Indeed, they all saw the opportunity.

Even if Li Er didn't die during the southern march, they could still...

Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Brothers killed each other and killed their fathers to take the throne? That's the Tang Dynasty, not the Western Regions...

If we really do this, the reputation we have accumulated in Datang over the years will be destroyed in one fell swoop!
  The scariest thing is that with our strength we still can’t do that step, do you understand? "

The step he mentioned was of course patricide. If he couldn't do this, Li Er could counterattack instantly in the name of suppressing rebellion at any time.

Of course, even if he has the ability to do this, does he dare? Don’t forget, Li Er didn’t even dare!
  After hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone shook their heads indifferently. Except for Li Qinjian and other officials of the Han family, they really didn't care about this. As long as they had the opportunity, they really dared to do it.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to explain to them: "I told you that you don't understand, so let's just say that the Tang Dynasty seems to be controlled by the Li family, but the real people who control the Tang Dynasty are actually the scholars, at least for now.

In the eyes of people like them, ethics and education are second only to heaven! If you dare to break ethics, they will overthrow your rule.

How did the former Sui Dynasty rule the world? How did the Tang Dynasty dominate the world? Aren’t they all adding fuel to the flames?

As a member of the Li family, I probably shouldn't say this, but as everyone knows, if it weren't for the support of the Shandong gentry and the foundation of the Long gentry, do you really think that Li Tang would be where he is today?

Li Tang, after all, was just the spokesperson of the noble clan at the beginning..."

Li Chengqian talked a lot in one breath, and almost introduced them to the history of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, these are not secrets, at least people like Yi Yuanxi rarely paid attention to them before.

After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, everyone hesitated for a moment.

After a long time, Pu Xiluo said: "So, even if the King of Shu takes this opportunity to cause trouble for our Ming Dynasty, we can't do anything?"

No wonder, although he has grown a lot over the years, in the final analysis he is just a tribal leader, and he is still a small tribe at that.

He doesn't have such a vision of setting out to conquer the world.

On the side, Qibi Heli shook his head and said: "That's different. We can't take action against the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but if it's just a Shu king, it won't be a big problem. Don't forget, isn't this how the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came up? ?”

"That's not the problem." Li Qinjian said at this time, "What should we do if news of the death of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty spreads while we are fighting with the King of Shu?"

After hearing his words, Li Chengqian's eyes finally lit up. This was what he was worried about.

"We're not that stupid, are we?" Iharafeng said helplessly.

Li Qinjian shook his head and said, "You still don't understand. We don't need to spread this news..."

"No way?" Pu Xiro said in disbelief, "You mean the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will spread this news?"

"Why not?" Li Qinjian also said with a look of surprise, "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. Do you think he can really tolerate such a powerful prince who is always eyeing his throne? No Talking about him, let’s talk about Lip Pushe. Pushe is not very old now, but the young masters in Pushe’s house are also young, right?
  It is reported that he is now also governing the Ming Dynasty. Is Pu She willing to hand over the power of the Pu family to his sons?

Comparing one's feelings with one's own, if it were a servant who asked me, I wouldn't want to. "

Li Qinjian clearly explained the root of this problem in one sentence.

Everyone was speechless for a long time after hearing this. The truth is so simple and crude.

"If things really develop to this point, when we and the King of Shu are evenly matched, His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty suddenly returns to Chang'an, and my Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

At that time, some people will definitely think that it is the news spread by me, Ming Dynasty, and then I, Ming Dynasty..."

When Qibi Heli said this, he suddenly realized that all this might be Li Er's plan.

Kill three birds with one stone?
  For a moment, everyone was in a daze. Politics was very close to them, but they felt very distant.

After a moment, Puxiluo said: "Your Highness, how should we deal with it?"

He found that he was still too young, not in terms of age, but in terms of experience in dealing with these things.

Li Chengqian shook his head with some regret, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, we haven't reached a dead end, there is still a way to break the situation.

Of course, gentlemen, there is no need to worry. In the final analysis, all this is just our speculation, but whether it is our speculation or not, we should prepare for the worst. "

When they heard that there was a way to break the situation, everyone became interested. As for whether it was speculation, hehe, they didn't mind using the most malicious speculation to speculate on the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, everyone began to think about the method Li Chengqian said to break the situation. For a moment, the hall became quiet.

Li Chengqian didn't bother them either. He thought about it, but didn't say it. What he needed was not a group of people who would just nod and bend around and do things. What he needed was people who could think independently and have the ability to solve problems.

After a while, Li Qinjian suddenly said: "Your Highness, do you mean to push someone out to compete with the King of Shu? Your Highness, like the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, retreated behind the scenes?"

"His Highness retreated behind the scenes?" Yi Yuanfeng said with some doubts, "Then who can compete with the King of Shu? Us?"

When he said this, he was a little self-deprecating. Although he looked down on that King of Shu, in terms of status, at least he did not have the status to talk to him on an equal footing.

In other words, he lacked some qualifications to even be Li Ke's opponent.

"I do think of someone." At this moment, Qi Bi Heli suddenly said.

"Who?" Yi Yuanfeng asked subconsciously.

Qibi Heli said: "That person from the Imperial Court of Great Zhao, that person can actually compete with the one from the Tang Dynasty in terms of status. The key is that the Tang Dynasty now wants to have a geographical conflict with me, the Ming Dynasty, then There is no way to avoid the great Zhao Wangting.

But that person is just a bit lacking in strength. If you really have to go up against that person and bump into him, you might end up being flushed after just one or two encounters..."

"Not to mention, this King Zhao is really an extremely suitable candidate." Hearing this, Li Qinjian also said, "The strength of Zhao is not enough, but the strength of Ming is enough. As long as His Highness does not come forward in person, use Zhao It's still no problem to block King Shu.

Moreover, even if it does develop into a military conflict, it will still be on the territory of the Imperial Court of Great Zhao. As long as we do not cross the territory of the Tang Dynasty and keep the conflict locked in Great Zhao, hehe..."

When he said this, he actually laughed. At this moment, he suddenly realized why his Highness wanted to change territory with Li Yuanjing back then. Is the relationship just for today?
  Li Chengqian was on top, but he smiled and said nothing. When the conflict really came, how could everything be as you said? Do you really think you are a director? Everyone has to cooperate with your acting?
  However, this is indeed a way to defeat the enemy. He smiled and said: "King Zhao is indeed someone we can use, and he is determined to be used by us.

However, the most urgent task now is to quell the internal problems of the Great Zhao Royal Court. Send an order to Zhao Yan. After receiving the order, he will lead the resentful army under his control. Within three days, all the effective forces of King Qiuci's family will be wiped out. I want the Great Zhao Royal Court to recover within three days. calm.

In addition, a decree was sent to Wanqi Pu to drive away all Tang forces in Da Zhao, including shops and workshops.

The imperial court of Zhao was originally built as a strategic buffer zone between the Tang and Ming Dynasties, but now it seems that it is no longer needed. "

Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Chengqian's words.

Good guy, it turns out that this guy already had an idea.

"Your Highness, do you need to communicate with the Royal Court of Great Zhao first?" At this moment, Wang Xuance, the former Minister of Rites, said.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "No, just write a letter from me personally and the Ministry of Rites will arrange for someone to send it to King Zhao. When he sees the letter, he will naturally know what to choose."

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.

After everyone dispersed, Li Chengqian brought Wu Anxuan in.

As the head of the Ming Dynasty's secret espionage department, although Wu An's official position is not high, his power is great.

In addition, he was one of the first supporters of Li Chengqian, and his status in the Ming Dynasty was second to none.

"See Your Highness." As soon as Wu An entered the hall, he bowed and saluted.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, pointed to the letters that had not yet been confiscated on the desk, and said to Wu An: "You take a look at these things first."

After Wu An read all the letters, he was shocked. He knew some of the news, but he had not yet heard about some of the news.

"The general knows what to do." Wu An said immediately after reading these letters.

He knew very well that the conflict between Tang Ming and Tang Ming had reached a fever pitch, and what happened next could no longer be controlled by one person's will.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "My intention is to let the two uncles and nephews Li Yuanjing and Li Ke have a fight. Do you understand?"

As soon as he heard what Li Chengqian said, Wu An understood instantly and said immediately: "The general will understand."

Nodding, Li Chengqian said again: "By the way, has there been any news from Yang Dalang recently?"

Yang Dalang, Yang Lin's eldest son, had previously led a caravan into Tianzhu via Tubo, and it was said that it was some time ago.

"There is news from the Secret Intelligence Department accompanying us, but the progress is not very significant, but the business is doing well. I heard that Changming Company has opened there."

Li Chengqian nodded. He actually didn't care that much about Tianzhu before, but now it seems that nothing is wrong. The place where Wang Xuance could destroy a country with borrowed troops seems to be on the agenda.

The key point is that Li Er has gone south to attack places like Chenla and Siam. If he doesn't do something, wouldn't he feel a little embarrassed?

"Collect the news about Tubo and Supi and hand it over to me later."
