Jiang Cheng's purple eyes were clear, and he stood there dignifiedly, and said unhurriedly: "There are many spies from all sides in Chang'an. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoNowadays, it has infiltrated various portals, including the mansion of General Hou, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not infiltrate the army. Now this matter, since it is related to the peace and great cause of the Tang Dynasty, we have to be cautious. ”

There is a good reason for that. Wei Zheng never thought much about what twists and turns would affect his official career, so he stood up for the first time and agreed with this girl's words.

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and said to Jiang Chengzi, "Go on." ”

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi took the order and continued: "The day before yesterday, although Your Majesty spent a lot of effort to clean up the enemy spies in Chang'an City. But I think that's only superficial, and the ones who are really hidden and deeply hidden may often be the pillars of the country, and will be placed in important positions in the country. This kind of thing was also done to the Turks in the previous dynasties. ”

When Jiang Chengzi said this, everyone knew that this was Li Shimin's father-in-law, Changsun Sheng.

Li Shimin's expression was as usual, nodded, and said, "What you say is not unreasonable. This war between countries since ancient times is not just a horse leather shroud on the battlefield, stained with blood. There are also invisible battles that are going on all the time. This is the struggle between the in-between. It's really for the sake of national honor, and all seventy-two changes have been exhausted. Sometimes, if you don't notice anything, you can lose it all. For example, Su Qin even crosses and vertically, which is also a kind of wisdom of the intermediate, and it is also like Xi Shi's chaos in the Wu Kingdom. Ah Zhi has this realization, which is very good. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. Jiang Chengzi was very modest and said, "Before, Ah Zhi knew a little about the people in the world because he listened to what the King of Shu said. Today, the task entrusted by His Majesty is very important, and Ah Zhi secretly thinks that he is afraid that someone will infiltrate the barracks-"

"Miss Zhi, that's not appropriate. Li Jing, who had always been silent, interrupted Jiang Chengzi's words very unhappily.

Jiang Chengzi was neither humble nor arrogant, and said without fear: "I know that Li Shangshu personally led the troops and selected them personally. However, the reason why the one is the one who is the one is that his camouflage technique is rare in the world. I don't think it's surprising that the army was infiltrated. ”

Li Jing was speechless for a while, what people said was reasonable, what could he say. So, he frowned and looked at this girl, as if he saw himself when he went to Yang Su's mansion to show his talents.

At that time, I was full of ambition, full of hope for the future, and not afraid of all powers.

"It's not surprising. It was Cheng Zhijie who affirmed this, and then Cheng Zhijie also cited several examples of spies caught in the army.

"I personally selected them, and the backgrounds of these people were also investigated one by one, and they were all children of high-ranking families. Li Jing was displeased.

"Sometimes, father and son are in the same hostile camp, not to mention just a family?" Qin Shubao also stood up to support Jiang Chengzi. He was the commander-in-chief of the mission this time, and he naturally wanted to bring his people, not any irrelevant people in the army. He was originally thinking about how to talk to Li Shimin, but he didn't expect Jiang Chengzi to take the initiative. This girl is really to his liking. He naturally wants to push the boat down the river to support her at this time.

Li Jing saw that Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao were on her side, and what she said was actually very reasonable, so he stopped arguing, and only said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please decide this matter." ”

Li Shimin also knew it in his heart, and he heard the clue from Qin Shubao's words, this Qin Shubao obviously didn't want to use this group of people. Moreover, Yang Minzhi's statement was quite reasonable, so he pushed the boat down the river and said directly: "What Ah Zhi said is quite reasonable, but these people don't need it, why do they want to go to prison? I don't know what Ah Zhi said?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, if we don't use them, then the news will leak out, and the enemy will be able to spy on our mission with this. Now, if there is someone who can interrogate them, they will definitely be able to find some useful information from them. Moreover, if they are innocent, when we complete the task, the imperial court will hold a military skills competition, and they will be the best in the division, and the imperial court will reward them appropriately. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.

Li Shimin squinted slightly, he had to admit that this girl was too smart. But Ke'er is the prince of the concubine, although he is outstanding, he is a concubine after all. He didn't want his sons to have another Xuanwumen rebellion. Or the cannibalism between Emperor Yang and his brother in the former dynasty.

Isn't this girl just like Queen Xiao back then?

When Li Shimin thought of this, his heart suddenly became very irritable, but he suppressed his irritability and asked with a pleasant face: "Then, who is not used without them?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, a soldier who gave birth to a son with a courtier's family. Qin Shubao stood up and said.

"And mine. Cheng Zhijie arched his hand.

"You two?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and glanced at the two of them.

"During the war, my wife adopted many orphans, and my sister-in-law also adopted a lot. They are what we have raised and taught since childhood. It is definitely not a melancholy, and he is loyal to His Majesty and Datang. Cheng Zhijie hurriedly said.

Adopt war orphans and earnestly train them to become the talents that the country needs most. This is what Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong did. This is what Li Shimin has always known, and these people cultivated by these three families have undertaken many important tasks. This is also what Li Shimin knows.

This group of people can be said to be a windfall, and they are very important talents. Li Shimin, in general, does not use them easily. Now, the matter of entering the Lost Mountain itself is difficult, and it is not a safe deal to carry out the task of assassinating Liang Shidu.

The emperor of an empire must first be able to settle accounts. He calculated that this account was not a good deal, so he shook his head and said, "This batch of children, it will not work." It's not easy, they're too bitter. ”

"Hey, Your Majesty, these children can't wait to contribute to the country. You can rest assured, this group of children under my Cheng Zhijie will go all out, and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent. Cheng Zhijie said boldly, and then added: "Lao Hei also said that if you need the children under him, you just need to give an order." The children trained by Mrs. Black and White are not ordinary. ”

Li Shimin glanced at him and thought: Are you going to empty this batch of family funds for me? But he was not embarrassed to say it directly, so he said euphemistically: "Carrying out such a secret mission is full of people and easy to expose. What are you doing with so many people?"

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. So, just my group of kids. Qin Shubao took over.

"Just a few people?" Li Shimin was very surprised. He knew that after performing various tasks over the years, there were not too many children left in the group of children adopted by Qin Shubao. And some disabled people were also placed by Qin Shubao to do some small business, or to do miscellaneous work in the General's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, it's just a Liang master. I will live up to your trust. "Qin Shubao is neither humble nor arrogant. For some reason, he always felt that with this girl, he would definitely go smoothly this time, and all those who didn't dare to think could dream wantonly.

"Hahaha, Lao Qin has always been humble, but now he is not humble. Cheng Zhijie laughed.

Qin Shubao ignored Cheng Zhijie, but knelt down straight and said, "Please Your Majesty, please Li Shangshu complete." ”

If you don't use your own people, just use Qin Qiong's people to do this, which is excellent. Therefore, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since Engong is sure, it depends on you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "Uncle Qin bowed and thanked him.

Li Shimin looked at the sky and said, "That Engong has made good arrangements, please leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. Qin Shubao received the order, and left with Mrs. Qin to deploy.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, then at Li Jing, and said, "Li Shangshu, I want to talk to Yang Minzhi alone, and you can find a secluded place." ”

Jiang Chengzi was surprised, not knowing what Li Shimin was going to say. But she vaguely felt that it had something to do with the fact that she was too sharp this time.

Li Jing took the order and invited Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others to drink tea elsewhere, and only Jiang Chengzi and Li Shimin were left in the house.

Li Shimin seemed to be a kind elder, and asked with a smile: "Ah Zhi, you are really smart." ”

"Your Majesty praises falsely, Ah Zhi is ashamed. In fact, in order to protect my country, my family, and the king of Shu, I have tried my best and tried my best. It's tiring, it's tiring. However, I can't give up and I can't let up. Jiang Chengzi said slowly, his expression and tone were tired.

When Li Shimin heard her say this, his calm heart was suddenly a little moved. remembered that when he was young, when he first saw Concubine Yang Shu, he also thought that one day he would be a brilliant princess who could be worthy of golden branches and jade leaves. For this reason, he worked silently and suffered a lot.

"Ah Zhi, have you ever thought about Ke'er going, if you don't come back, how will you stay?" asked Li Shimin.

"If he doesn't come back, I'll bring him back. Jiang Chengzi replied.

"Silly boy, you know what I mean. Li Shimin sighed.

Jiang Chengzi thought for a moment that if Li Ke didn't come back, he would be separated from her forever, so he felt cold in his heart, and then there was a hot pain, and tears suddenly welled up. However, she tried her best to calm down and replied, "Your Majesty, if that's the case." I have to live to avenge him. I will not let go of any of those who hurt him. As for marrying someone else, I won't do it in this life. I can only be his wife. ”

Listening to these words, Li Shimin remembered those things in his youth that seemed to be in his previous life. Vaguely, he also had such a youthful intensity. Therefore, he suddenly became a little more tolerant of this girl.

"Ah Zhi, do you have any ideals?" After a long time, Li Shimin asked again.

"Ideal?" Jiang Chengzi thought for a while before lowering his voice and saying a little shyly, "Your Majesty, then you can't laugh at me." ”

Li Shimin promised not to laugh, and then asked with interest: "What is it?"

"I want to marry the King of Shu, get married, have children, and grow old. I want to go with him to the three mountains and five mountains and cultivate a species that will feed the people and be nutritious. Jiang Chengzi said very sincerely.

"What?" Li Shimin asked this question, which originally meant to be tentative. He imagined that if the girl knew what he meant, she would definitely answer without leaking. He had imagined such a vulgar answer as being white-headed and old, but they hadn't guessed the matter of going through the three mountains and five mountains to find species.

"We've already said it. When the country is stable and there is no need to be afraid of external troubles, we will be considered to have grown up and officially married. We applied to participate in the Shennong Project, traveled all over the three mountains and five mountains, and found species that could provide abundant food and clothing for the people of Datang. If you can find it, the Tang Dynasty will be rich, and I and the King of Shu will also go down in history. Maybe it can catch up with Shennong. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.

"Have you discussed it with Ke'er?" asked Li Shimin very unexpectedly.

Jiang Chengzi nodded very sincerely and said, "Yes." This Shennong plan was conceived by the King of Shu and me, and later we pulled Yao Ziqiu, who likes plants. At that time, we were growing potatoes and sweet potatoes together. ”

Li Shimin's heart was completely bottomless. He imagined a little: his son is obsessed with studying crops, what threat does he have to the Tang Dynasty? What is the second Xuanwu Sect? How can this girl become Queen Xiao?

That Empress Xiao was cultivated by the Xiao family with all they had, but this girl was different, she was born and left in Luoshui Grange. All of this can be checked, and the people he sent have confirmed that it is impossible to drop the child. Hongnong Yang's abandoned son, because he has a fairy relationship, he is a teacher of immortals, what he sees is the food, clothing, hunger and cold of the common people in the world, and it is not the conspiracy right of flies and dogs.

In this way, it is the heart of his own villain, which is cheesy.

Li Shimin suddenly felt how cheesy he had just given birth to to get rid of her.

"Very good, very good. He sighed.

Jiang Chengzi was energetic, and continued: "Your Majesty, actually, I have a little secret to tell you. ”

"What's the secret?" Li Shimin thought this girl was very interesting and quirky. My own princesses weren't that interesting.

"Plants can get sick too. I was still discussing with the King of Shu before asking the Institute of Physics to apply for the establishment of a department specializing in the prevention and control of pests and diseases, specializing in planting, so that the yield per mu of the field would be high. Jiang Chengzi lowered his voice.

"Ah, that's good. Now that these tricky things are over, you let the King of Shu play, and I will definitely be approved. Li Shimin said with a smile.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Shu will not come to the recital. ”

"Why?" Li Shimin was very curious.

"This is a major event in the imperial court. To go to the chapter is also the Gewuin, or the prince in charge of the Gewuin. The king of Shu wants to avoid suspicion, and the upper performance is not suitable. Jiang Chengzi said very seriously.

"What's there to avoid suspicion about this kind of thing?" Li Shimin was displeased.

Jiang Chengzi sighed and said, "We just want to live a peaceful life, watch the clouds roll up, and listen to the mountains and flowers bloom and fall." But we are still young, and we can't eat fasting and worship Buddha like Concubine Shu, and don't ask about the world. We don't want to go to this world in vain, waste the beautiful years given by God, and want to make some contribution to mankind. The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name. But his identity is there, and the matter of protecting the family and defending the country is too sensitive, and we don't want to be contaminated unless it is absolutely necessary; entering the court as an official will also make people unhappy, and we will not be happy. Therefore, the king of Shu said that he just wanted to be a carefree prince, and chose to be obsessed with crop research for the benefit of the people, which can be regarded as a son to share for his father, and as a royal family member to share the burden for the common people in the world. ”

This remark was not made up by her, but what she thought when she communicated with Li Ke. It's just that the premise of this blind concession is that those dog things that don't know how to retreat must be removed, and the world will be returned to the next Qingming.

She said this sincerely. Li Shimin was sad to hear it, what a good child Ke'er is, just because Concubine Shu was the princess of the former dynasty and could not become the queen, the fate of this child was nailed. There is a lot of rumors outside, and those who are ambitious think too much about it. Over time, even he, a father, forgot that he was a father, and thought too much.

"Ah Zhi, Ke'er really found a good princess. Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. Jiang Chengzi said with a grin, his voice was crisp and very sincere.

"Ah Zhi, I'm talking about business, aren't you bringing anyone with you this time?" Li Shimin suddenly thought that this girl didn't bring anyone here.
