Fortunately, Chen Aizhi was reluctant to dig coal, and what Chen Zhengtai said, he was very obedient.

Now the Chen family's industry is too big, thousands of Chen's children, and there is a family law above, if Chen Zhengtai has a good impression of you, maybe you will be in charge of a big industry, casually, hundreds of thousands of dollars a year flow out of your hands, countless people around you stutter, under the head of tens of thousands of craftsmen, directing all aspects of things, that is really a spring breeze.

But if he made a mistake, he might be sent to Ju County, where he was disgraced every day, and he took a pitiful little salary, which was extremely miserable.

The Chen family, no one dares to question Chen Zhengtai now, and it is precisely because of this that people's hearts can change your life with a single thought, and in this era, the blood relationship of the family cannot be separated at all, once you leave the family, it means that you are nothing.

Compared with other teaching assistants, it's a big deal that people don't do it happily here, just hang up the crown and leave, but Chen Aizhi has nowhere to go, so he listened to Chen Zhengtai's explanation attentively and didn't dare to relax for a moment.

He probably knew in his heart that the head of the family must have something to do, but what exactly he wanted to do, Chen Aizhi didn't want to think about it, he just wanted to do it well.

Chen Zhengtai finished explaining, then smiled, got up and said: "It's not early, these days, I will use you to take the lead, and train these three hundred people well, and I will be of great use at that time." ”

Saying that, Chen Zhengtai simply went home directly.

The Chen family's new house occupies a large area, located in the prosperous area of Erpigou, and when they returned to their small mansion, Princess Sui'an was already waiting.

The couple didn't see each other for many days, and after a lot of hard work that night, the next day, Chen Zhengtai began to let the third uncle do market research.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the entire Chang'an City has been particularly lively recently, and it is because of the excitement that the market also seems to be prosperous, especially the safe return of His Majesty, which makes many people secretly relieved, and originally thought that the upcoming chaos has disappeared invisibly.

For the people of the world, in fact, who is the Son of Heaven and what does it have to do with themselves?

Everyone just hopes that the world is peaceful.

The third uncle also took advantage of the upcoming New Year Festival and began to visit various families in Chang'an.

In fact, at this time, the third uncle felt a lot.

I think that at the beginning, the third uncle was also going to visit around at this point in time, but at that time, the Chen family was weak, and sent the door stickers to each house, and most of the other party sent a less important elder in the family to come out, say a few words to each other, and then disperse.

But now, even if Chen Zhengtai has offended many people in the court, whenever he goes out to visit, as soon as people see the door sticker, several core descendants of the family will come to the middle gate to greet him, not to mention preparing delicious wine and food, and he will not let people go until he has to keep the night banquet.

Even if it is some families who have a more tense relationship on weekdays, this should be done as a courtesy, but it still has to be done.

What the third uncle is best at is these things that usher in the send-off.

Ordinary people, I really can't figure out the matter of the valve reading, how did the family in Chang'an City get up, what characters have appeared since then, what relationship did the ancestors have with the ancestors of the Chen family, or whether there has ever been a relationship between in-laws, this hundreds of families living in Chang'an, large and small, are disconnected from each other, these intricate things are really not easy to explain clearly.

Only a living fossil like the third uncle can know everything about this.

When it was almost the end of the year, he rushed to find Chen Zhengtai, and said directly: "You arranged for the old man to ask, the old man really inquired clearly, the families of these families, and some giants, do have their own sources, just say that some days ago, what happened in Xuzhou, now it is about the case, all the families have counted in their hearts, and the old man deliberately tested them...... Hehe......"

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "With so many families and giants, everyone is secretly tinkering with this, but it takes great pains. ”

"There's no way around it, now the news is not only valuable, but also fatal." The third uncle coughed and continued: "Let's just talk about what happened in the grassland, if Pei Lin learned the news earlier, how could it have come to this point?" Now that he has been deposed, it is rumored that he may be exiled again. ”

Chen Zhengtai mourned for Pei Lin in silence, he was also a person who had worshiped the prime minister, if it was a previous exile, it would have been just Li Shimin's beating of him, but this time the exile would be purely death!

When you beat it, clean it up, and soon you will be reinstated, and if you die, I'm afraid that you will never come back in this life!

Thinking that this famous Pei Gong was going to squat and play in the mud in a certain mountain Gada, Chen Zhengtai felt ...... It's pretty cool.

"Got it." Chen Zhengtai only responded lightly on his face, and then said: "It seems that our Chen family is also going to hurry up." ”

Time flies, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye!

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Zhengtai took Princess Sui'an into the palace to meet him, and met Li Shimin together, and exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Princess Sui'an went to see Queen Changsun and her mother.

Chen Zhengtai stayed, chatted with Li Shimin with a smile, and then said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Erchen heard about something. ”

Li Shimin is in a good mood, he is now waiting for the raid on the Dou family every day, the raid has begun, the criminal department and Dali Temple seem to be doing a good job, using a lot of manpower, but the Dou family's industry is too big, and it is not so easy to liquidate.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen heard that now Chang'an is all in various states. ”

The smile on Li Shimin's face was put away, and he suddenly became vigilant: "Yichuan, what are they trying to do?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "I think I want to collect information about all states in the world. ”

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and then he glanced at Zhang Qian: "Why is there no news from Baiqi?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Qian was a little confused, so he hurriedly said: "Slave ......"

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Okay, shut up." ”

Zhang Qian was bored.

Li Shimin immediately said: "I didn't expect this, it's just that these people want to make their ears and eyes smart, which is understandable, but it is also worth being vigilant to plant spies in various states." ”

It's the truth.

You clans and magnates send people to the states, and don't you become one spy after another? If the world is stable, it is fine, but once the world is unstable, won't these spies become a big trouble for the imperial court in the future?

In fact, there are also secret agents in the palace who specialize in finding out the news, that is, the hundred horses directly controlled by Li Shimin, but if it is a family in the world, everyone tosses out a hundred horses, is this worth it?

Li Shimin attached great importance to this matter, so he said: "If I make an order, can I put an end to it?" ”

"I'm afraid it's hard." Chen Zhengtai smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, think about it, there are too many clans and giants involved, this is a secret agent, and it is not easy for the court to put an end to it." ”

This is true, not to mention these people, which one of them is an extraordinary role, even if it is explicitly forbidden, how can it be forbidden?

Isn't it possible to pass on a letter?

However, Li Shimin knows very well that such things cannot be prevented.

Li Shimin thought about it and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really worrying that these people are spreading news everywhere behind their backs, hey, if all the families in the world are like the Chen family, I can be worry-free." Look at the Chen family, just keep to yourself and never do such a thing. ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

Li Shimin glanced up at Chen Zhengtai: "What?" ”

"Erchen didn't dare to hide it, in fact, the Chen family ...... Also engaged in ......"

Li Shimin: "......"

This is a bit shameless, your Chen family is also doing it, and then you, the head of the Chen family, came to sue and said that other people were doing this?

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly explained: "The Chen family has no choice......

Before Chen Zhengtai's words were finished, Li Shimin said with a frosty face: "This is to blame on me, I can't put an end to these things, so not only do you have to establish a post line, but I'm afraid that there will be more ears and eyes than them, right?" ”

"Actually......" Chen Zhengtai was a little embarrassed, he couldn't say anything about this, so he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Actually, Erchen did this to put an end to such a thing." ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai strangely: "What is the truth of this?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty will know when the time comes, son...... It's hard to explain at the moment. ”

Li Shimin only bowed his head, but his heart was even more melancholy.

Li Shimin ascended the throne, although he became the emperor, in fact, deep down, there has always been a sense of anxiety.

In fact, don't look at the Son of Heaven so glamorous, but since the fall of the Han Dynasty, how many dynasties and the Son of Heaven have been produced in this land of China? I'm afraid that ordinary people are too many to count, but basically there are not many emperors who can last for three generations, and the strong soldiers and horses have become the sons of heaven, and when they die, the powerful ministers or generals will start to rebel, and then cut off the emperor's clan and replace them.

Li Shimin naturally knows that the reason why this is the case is the root cause is that even if he is the Son of Heaven, there are still many families in the world who can compete with the royal family.

In the case of the weak lord and the strong minister, it is not surprising that such things are not uncommon.

Let's talk about this secret agent, but all the clans have installed eyes and ears in various states, these clans are all deep-rooted and extremely powerful, and they are only spies now, just to find out the news, but after a long time, their cronies are in the locality, and with the big backer of the clan, it is rare to be able to contact the local state and county magistrates and local heroes!

What's more, once these people can have the same news as the palace, or even some things, their news channels are faster than the imperial court, which ...... It will inevitably be a big deal in the future.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Chen Zhengtai didn't dare to squeak anymore, because this matter really couldn't be explained to Li Shimin in a while.

But after a while, a eunuch came and said, "The eldest grandson asks to see him." ”

Today is the New Year's Pass, and the emperor's relatives will enter the palace, Li Shimin said lightly: "Call him in." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji has been in a good mood these days, with a smile on his face inadvertently, and he seems to walk a little briskly. Because of his son, he finally came back from annual leave, and he learned that the eldest grandson Chong is now studying every day, and he has great ambitions, and he thinks in his heart that he wants to be at the top of the exam, and his heart is happy.

I think that at the beginning, everyone mentioned that his parent Sun Chong changed color, who would have thought that now his son would be so stable and ambitious!

Our eldest grandson's family also has today.

He entered the hall in a hurry, saluted first, and then said with a smile: "Erlang's complexion is much better than before." I have a prosperous fortune in the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Shimin pressed his hand, interrupted his words, looked directly at the joyful eldest grandson Wuji, but said in his mouth: "I came to ask you, how many ears and eyes does your eldest grandson family have in all the states of the world?" ”

This question is so sudden and frightening!

Eldest Sun Wuji's smile froze suddenly, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

He blinked, and cautiously glanced at Chen Zhengtai on the side, but saw that Chen Zhengtai gave him a move, don't resist.

So the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "This, Erlang...... No, Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation, the minister...... The courtier's ......"

"It seems that your eldest grandson's family is also building a hundred horses." Li Shimin's face turned pale.

Speaking of this building a hundred horses, it is not a joke, the hundred horses of the Tang Dynasty and the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty are the same, and they are dedicated to finding out news for the palace, which is a privilege enjoyed by the emperor!

Li Shimin said this, which is tantamount to punishing Sun Wuji's heart!

The eldest grandson Wuji was so shocked that his face turned a little white, and he hurriedly said, "Minister...... Minister......"

"Alright." Li Shimin said: "There is no need to defend it, today is the New Year's Day, so there is no need to make a fuss like this!" If you want to build a hundred horses, it is not your eldest grandson's family with a surname, even if I want to punish crimes, can I punish all the clans in this world? ”

Li Shimin said, stood up, and glanced at Chen Zhengtai: "You said you have a way?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Yes." ”

"Then I'll see." Li Shimin said seriously: "I want to see how you put an end to it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin, and then at Chen Zhengtai, listening to the conversation between the two, his heart was complicated, he didn't know who he was pitted by, why did His Majesty suddenly care about this?

This emperor's heart is unpredictable, who knows what His Majesty thinks in his heart, this matter is very big, and it is very small, so in a state of anxiety, he hurriedly met with Li Shimin, and saw that Chen Zhengtai was going to resign, so he was busy resigning.

He went out of the palace with Chen Zhengtai, but when he saw Chen Zhengtai looking relaxed, he leaned up and said, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly pay so much attention to this, isn't it that damn Zhang Qian......?"

"Probably." Chen Zhengtai said: "But the eldest grandson can rest assured that we are gentlemen and frank, and we have not rebelled, what are we afraid of?" ”

“……”

The eldest grandson Wuji almost jumped to his feet and said: "You are frank, the old man is different, the old man feels that a big disaster is coming, you don't want to think about it, Li Erlang...... No, what kind of person is Your Majesty? Although his temperament also has a loyal and courageous side, once he perceives something, he can do anything. ”
