Li Chengqian didn't expect Li Shi to see it so clearly, indeed, in terms of identity and status, although Wei Zheng has the identity of the Duke of the Kingdom, he is not very powerful during the Zhenguan period. However, it is because of his loyalty and straightforwardness that this guy can be listed in the textbook alongside Taizong. Many people don't know the crown prince Li Chengqian, but they must know the human mirror Wei Zheng.

As for the gambling contract with Wei Zheng, it was actually a pioneering experiment for the whole Tang Dynasty to start collecting the displaced people. It would be unwise to implement it without knowing the effect. And Qinling, which happens to be not far from Chang'an, uses the displaced people of Qinling to experiment around Chang'an, if the effect is excellent, it can almost be used as a template to promote the whole world.

"Increasing taxes is indeed the most surprising one in this plan, Cheng Qian, the old man didn't understand why you stubbornly wanted to add such a clause. Do you think that there is such a danger that the displaced people can still accept the summons of the imperial court smoothly? ”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "The reason, you still don't want to listen, you just need to know that this kind of practice will definitely have an effect." ”

After instructing Li Tai and Li Ke to take care of the old gentleman, Li Chengqian entered the study and began to write letters to the prince.

It just so happened that the prince himself had a hunting mission, and as long as he encountered the cottage of the homeless people on the way, he would directly preach it to them.

As for personally persuading, it is estimated that only Wei Zheng will do this.

The eunuchs of the East Palace had already been sent out by Li Chengqian.

After lunch, the news came back.

Sure enough, after eating a full meal, Wei Zheng applied to the emperor for a group of forbidden troops and led the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory to set off.

At this time, as long as the displaced people can be successfully brought out of the mountain, it will be a great achievement. The better you do your job, the more you offend people, but if you don't do it well, you can't even do it. Because of this, the officials raised their hands and feet to agree to the work of "appeasing the displaced people".

"Hehe, I don't go into the mountains to suffer. What if you go out en masse? Sooner or later, it will not be possible to compare to the lonely. ”

With a wave of his hand, the eunuch who was listening to the news stepped down, and Li Chengqian put the work of "cultivating eyeliner" on the agenda.

Although there is an alliance of the lowly in the palace, he cannot control the huge Chang'an City.

Look at the emperor's father, the reason why he was able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity and did not fall after many rebellions was because of the Hundred Cavalry Division. The intelligence network of the Hundred Cavalry Division is shrouded in the land of the Tang Dynasty, although there are inevitably blind spots, but it is enough to make the emperor a "prophet"-like figure.

No matter who you are, you need intelligence. It is estimated that those big families are not idle enough to leave the clan land and buy mansions in many places in Chang'an.

As the fourth person in the Tang Dynasty, the prince, how can he do without his own intelligence network!

After writing the word "ruffian" on the paper, Li Chengqian smiled, tore the paper to shreds, and threw it into the wastebasket.

The alliance of the lowly is absolutely powerful, and this can be seen from the eunuch he met in the palace of the government.

There is no doubt that the eunuchs who work in the Lizheng Palace have been selected layer by layer. But just like that, it was infiltrated by the League of the Despicables.

If it weren't for that eunuch, Li Chengqian wouldn't have thought of Li Lianying in the Jiupin Sesame Official, and by the way, he thought of the sentence "You take the sword of the previous dynasty and behead the officials of the previous dynasty", and distorted it into "You take the laws of the current dynasty and manage the people of the previous dynasty". Fastest update... / .. /

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian clapped his hands three times, and Fang Sheng, who had been waiting outside the door, walked in.

After making sure that there were no outsiders outside the door except for his own, Fang Sheng closed the door.

After bowing, Fang Sheng asked, "Your Highness, do you have an order?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and asked, "Fang Sheng, in the palace, are there eunuchs with strong martial arts?" Lone has a plan that he needs to carry out. ”

Fang Sheng thought for a moment and patted his head: "Back to His Royal Highness, there is indeed a person, if you talk about the eunuchs in the palace, he is the absolute first." This person's name is Geng Buqu, and even His Majesty's personal attendants were trained by him. Coincidentally, he is also a member of the League of the Inferior. His Royal Highness is looking for someone with strong martial arts, who is he trying to kill? ”

Shaking his head, Li Chengqian whispered: "Since there is, you let Wang Sheng find a way to get him out of the palace, and give him the task alone, other than that, you don't have to ask more." ”

Fang Sheng knew that he had overstepped, so he stopped asking questions and turned around to find Wang Sheng.

However, before long, there was a eunuch who had never met before, and he entered the study without reporting.

There is no doubt that he is the person Li Chengqian wants.

It's just that Geng Buqu is really a bit old, and looking at his gray hair, you can know that he has long reached the age of being expelled from the palace. When he reaches his age and is not expelled from the palace, it can only show that he does have the ability, or has enough merit.

Kneeling on the ground, Geng Buqu said: "Your Highness, the slave and maid are Geng Buqu, Wang Sheng has arranged a plan for the slave and maid to fake their death and leave the palace." After leaving the palace, what does His Royal Highness need slaves and maids to do, to put it bluntly. ”

Putting down the book, Li Chengqian looked at Geng Buqu's appearance, and was embarrassed: "What you want you to do will be extremely bloody and laborious." However, at your age, I'm afraid it's hard to help Lonely. Lone is a capable person, at your age, since you can stay in the palace and enjoy happiness, don't go out to fight and kill. ”

Geng Buqu was not angry because of the prince's contempt, but smiled: "Your Highness looks down on people, although the slave maid is old, her skills have not degraded too much." has served in the palace for so many years, and the heart of the slave and maid is not comparable to those babies. No matter what His Highness wants the slave to do, the slave and maid will ensure that it is absolutely perfect. ”

Shaking his head, Li Chengqian said: "Forget it, it's a little unbearable to let you do it at such an age." ”

Geng Buqu smiled even more happily, he could see that the prince really didn't dislike him, but really cared.

Since the Sui Dynasty entered the palace, he has been one of the only remaining elders of the Alliance of the Inferior. Originally, he heard that Wang Sheng and they had contacted an eight-year-old prince, and he also thought that Wang Sheng was coming to Hu. Now that he really saw the crown prince, he realized how wise the decisions made by the descendants were.

Standing up, Geng Bu arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, I am offended." ”

After speaking, Geng Buqu immediately stepped forward, and his thin hand went straight to Li Chengqian's neck like an eagle's claws.

The training during this period of time was not in vain, and after seeing Geng Buqu's movements, Li Chengqian immediately prepared to attack.

However, the idea of attacking him came to him, and he found that he was finished.

It was obviously more than two meters away, but Geng Buqu's movements were as fast as installing a booster, and people couldn't react at all. The seemingly thin claws contain great strength, at least Li Chengqian, who was held by his throat, didn't think that his neck would not be pinched flat.

Letting go of his hand, Geng Buqu immediately retreated and opened up the distance again.

I have seen Li Jing's skills and seen Niu Jinda's back, but after seeing Geng Buqu's skills, Li Chengqian suddenly made a greater discovery of martial arts.

Facts have proved that simply practicing speed and strength can indeed push people to a height that is easy to be martial arts.

"Ahem."

After coughing twice, Li Chengqian took out the plan he had prepared and handed it to Geng Buqu.

After taking the paper, reading it one by one, and making sure that he remembered all the contents inside, Geng Buqu tore the paper to shreds, and opened his mouth to eat it.

Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, there's no need for this, the lonely paper basket is all handled by Fang Sheng, and it won't leak secrets." Since you think you can do it, hurry up and get out of the palace. During your expenses, Lone will let Fang Sheng bring it to you, and if Lone has anything to contact you, it will also pass through Fang Sheng. Otherwise, it's better not to trust anyone. ”

After reading all the plans, he naturally knew that these things had to be kept secret.

After throwing the shredded paper into the paper basket, Geng Buqu saluted again and left backwards.

Sending Geng Buqu away, Li Chengqian was full of confidence in his plan.

Although I don't know what Geng Buqu did before, judging from his actions of eating paper, he will definitely be able to complete the task of establishing an intelligence network outside the palace.

Poor Chang'an, it has not yet reached its heyday, only the imperial palace and the surrounding areas of the east and west cities in the city are relatively prosperous areas, and many of the rest of the places are areas inhabited by civilians. Even, there are some dark corners, carrying out a black market that cannot be completely eradicated by officials.

Smuggling salt, selling slaves, disposing of stolen goods, all of which are quick to get money in.

And these dark corners, no one has integrated them so far, they are disorganized, but they have built a very powerful intelligence network, roughly estimated, it will not be worse than the hundred cavalry, the only shortcoming, probably is that there is no way to penetrate into the official news channels.

What Li Chengqian wants to do is to unify these gloom and build a net in the hidden corners of Chang'an.

"The identity of the prince is considered a white way, plus the underworld, tsk, are we not black and white?"

Putting down the pen, Li Chengqian hummed a little song and went to Li Gang's residence.

There are some things that can't be done in front of the old gentleman, such as the alliance of the lowly, such as attacking the underworld, and then for example....

People have been deeply servile in their bones since ancient times.

- Qinling

Eat up a serving of dry food, open the bamboo tube and drink a few sips of water.

Feeling the pleasure of water saving his dry throat, Wei Zheng's heart was very miserable.

He still knows a little about the homeless. Although these people are hidden, they cannot completely cut off contact with the outside world.

Following the guidance of the hunters outside the mountains, he encountered more than one stronghold where the homeless people lived along the way.

After overcoming all obstacles, after entering, he originally thought that he could lead a group of displaced people out of the mountain before sunset. However, what is unexpected is that when they heard about the imperial court policy he introduced, the homeless people who were already cowering became completely crazy.

Of course, this madness is not a joyful madness, but a madness that drove him out.

If it weren't for the fact that the leaders of the outcasts knew how horrible it was to kill officials, I am afraid they would have done it.

Two hundred guards, in front of nearly a thousand displaced people, the deterrent power formed is indeed limited.

Looking at the sun that had already set halfway, Wei Zheng sighed and led the forbidden army to escort out of the mountain.

There was not much left over from the land distribution in Chang'an, so the field designated by the emperor was in Wannian County, and the land designated to the crown prince was Lantian County.

Out of the mountain, Wei Zheng decided to rest for one night at a post house in Wannian County.

failed to bring the displaced people out of the mountain, he really didn't have the face to return to Chang'an.

The post house in Wannian County is overcrowded.

Seeing the subordinates sitting around with their heads bowed and a few injured subordinates, Wei Zheng was surprised: "Could it be that you didn't succeed either?" ”

An official with a blood-stained linen cloth wrapped around his head raised his head and said depressedly: "Gong Zheng, it's not that we are not doing things well, but those sinners are too bastard!" When I heard that we were going to persuade them to go out of the mountain on behalf of the imperial court, they were quite talkative. But as soon as the policy was mentioned, they were in a hurry. There were two small homeless cottages, and after driving away the lower officials, they immediately abandoned the house and went deep into the Qinling Mountains to join others. ”

The other official was a little better, but he was covered in dust and his red and swollen face, so he should have been beaten.

After the colleague finished speaking, the official who was beaten also said: "It's the same situation here, I don't know why, it's a good thing, but for those homeless, it's extremely terrifying." In order to show his sincerity, Xia Guan went in alone. As a result, by the time the guards rushed in to rescue the lower officials, the homeless people had already fled through the secret passage. ”

With that, he lowered his head.

Wei Zheng and the prince made a bet are now known all over the city, and they are particularly ashamed that they failed to contribute to their own boss.

Sitting on the stool, Wei Zheng sighed: "The old man is the same here, if they didn't care about the revenge of the imperial court after killing the official, I'm afraid the old man would be difficult to come back today." ”

Today's Wei Zheng was very devastated.

Although he never boasted, he knew that he still had a little fame among the civilians. It's just that this fame has no effect on dealing with displaced people.

Xiao Er of the post house walked in, took out the cold tea, and replaced it with hot tea.

After a day's running, the tired people didn't have the heart to drink water.

After the sun had completely set, everyone finally waited for the person they wanted to meet.

He Changzong was sweating profusely, and after entering the post house, he did not speak, but drank a whole pot of tea first.

Riding a horse from Lantian County to Wannian County was not an easy job for him, a civil servant.

After drinking the water, He Changzong also knew what his colleagues were waiting for, and immediately reported: "I have been watching Lantian County for a long time, and since then, Lantian County has received two full waves of displaced people, almost a thousand!" ”

"What?"

Wei Zheng took the case, if it was a wave, he could still accept it. After all, the prince took the prince personally and had a lot of contact with a group of homeless people.

But two waves, it's too fake!

He Changzong continued: "Xiaguan is also very curious, so he inquired. The first wave of people who came out of the mountain was indeed mentioned by the prince, the cottage managed by Liu Yang. But the second wave only came into contact with the prince's pro-rate rate today. Seeing that the prince personally led the members, and kept speaking ill of those homeless people, the lower officials wondered, could it be the prince who led the homeless people out of the mountain? ”
