Li Chengqian left pitifully, he was going to find his own think tank, but now Li Chengqian's think tank is really very ordinary, because although there are many great Confucians in the East Palace at this time, none of them are of the same mind as Li Chengqian.

is really of the same heart with Li Chengqian, and almost all of them are young.

"Childe...!" Seeing Li Chengqian leaving, Elder Ying came to Li Zhan's side and said with a smile: "You are polishing His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

After taking a sip of tea, Li Zhan nodded and said, "He has always been the prince, although I have a way to solve this matter, but I can't stay by his side for the rest of my life."

So he wants to learn to use his brain, I think His Majesty asked him to come to Hongtong County, and he should think the same way. ”

"Childe is really far-reaching, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have a good big brother like Childe, he should really be glad...!" Shadow Elder bowed slightly.

"It's hard for the prince too... Is the throne really good, Shadow Lao, look at the crown prince, while being tortured by the great Confucians sent by His Majesty, and then being beware of His Majesty, some people may want to sit on the throne, but I, Li Zhan, don't want this crown prince at all.

I want to be free, to live freely, not to be bound like this.

Above 10,000,000 people, it's really not that good, if it's really that good, it won't be called a lonely person, what do you say...? ”

Li Zhan looked at Ying Lao, but Ying Lao just smiled, but didn't say a word.

Then I listened to the old man change the topic and asked, "Childe... 200,000 Guan has already gone to buy grain according to your instructions, because we need food tonight, so we bought 1,000 quintals at the rice shop opened by Cui's family in Hongtong County.

It's really too dark, and it's ten times the price, which is really hard to make a fortune. ”

"Huh...!" Li Zhan laughed: "I have known for a long time that these big families are all vampires, otherwise, where would they have such a big family business."

However, the Cui family is not in a hurry, I have already thought of countermeasures, they don't want to explain to us, then I will play it to death at once. ”

................................

"What to do... The Cui family still has 500,000 yuan, and they don't want to return it? ”

Li Chengqian left Li Zhan's room, and immediately came to his room to gather all his henchmen, at this time in Li Chengqian's room, there were Xiaodouzi, Hou Guangliang, Zhao Jie, Du He and Li Chengqian, a total of five people.

Li Chengqian frowned and finished speaking.

Zhao Jie on the side immediately said: "How... If the Cui family still dares to resist the decree, then we will raid his home. "This Zhao Jie is the son of the eldest princess, Li Chengqian's sworn friend, and he will follow Li Chengqian's confidant to rebel in the future.

Hou Guangliang looked at Li Zhan and asked, "Did Gongzi Li give us any instructions?" ”

With a sigh, Li Chengqian said bitterly: "Big brother has long expected it, he helped us get Zhou Shiren's 200,000 yuan, and now he is also actively buying food, there is no problem tonight and for a period of time afterward, but there will still be trouble in the future, the Cui family swallowed so much money, and they didn't swallow a penny, we have no money to buy food, so we will be in trouble." ”

"Didn't Gongzi Li say a way?" Little Beanzi asked again.

"My eldest brother must have it, but my eldest brother wants me to solve it myself, after all, this time my father sent me down to let me go through it, and my eldest brother asked you to think of a way with me."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Du He frowned and said: "What can we do, this Cui family is not easy to mess with, the person who is now in charge of the Cui family is called Cui Rin, and it is said that he has a relationship with many ministers in the court."

If we blatantly go to copy the Cui family, then we may offend many people in the court. ”

"yes...!" Hou Guangliang said: "If we want to copy, we must find evidence, but Hongtong County is the territory of the Cui family, and the evidence is not easy to find." ”

"What should I do?" Zhao Jie said speechlessly: "I can't find it, I can't copy it, I can't just wait, there are still tens of thousands of people outside, do you still want them to eat wheat bran?" ”

Zhao Jie's words made Li Chengqian say a little bitterly: "Yes... I have made a promise that the victims will no longer eat wheat bran. ”

"Why don't we go and beg Mr. Li... He will definitely help His Highness. Little Bean whispered his proposal.

Du He shook his head and said, "Brother Li, this is training the prince and us, and now we can't ask for it, or else... Guangliang took someone to secretly check the place where the Cui family hid the money, we must find evidence that the Cui family embezzled 500,000 yuan as soon as possible.

Secondly, in order to alleviate the pressure on our food, we can ask the prince to come forward and ask the rich families in Hongtong County to donate. ”

"Hey... That's a good idea...! Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Let's do this...!" ”

Soon, just after Li Chengqian and the others finalized their minds, Li Zhan learned their ideas, which made Li Zhan laugh, why... Because he is too naïve, whether it is Li Chengqian, Du He, or Hou Guangliang at this time, they are all too young.

They think of everything beautifully, but is that really the case?

In the name of a prince, you can raise money and food, hehe... If it really works, then there is no need for the army.

"Childe, what do we do now?" Ying Lao asked Li Zhan with a smile.

And Li Zhan said lightly: "Let the prince and others suffer first, let Gao Liang and the tapir put those things into the Cui family for me, the Cui family doesn't make us feel bad, and the Cui family in Chang'an and the Cui family in Hongtong County are also cleanly removed, okay... Then I will directly destroy his Cui family. ”

"Yes...!" The shadow elder bowed back and left.

It's just that when the shadow elder silently retreated, when he raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhan's back with his hands slightly raised his head, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really too similar, decisive in killing, and full of spirit, it's really a pity.

..................................

At the same time, Chang'an City walked into a poor family, but this poor person was not pitiful in Li Zhan's eyes, because this family was the Empress Wu Zetian's family.

Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shitong, was engaged in timber trading and had a well-to-do family. In the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, when Li Yuan was in Hedong, he stayed in the martial arts many times, so he got acquainted. After Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui in Taiyuan, the Wu family once funded money, food, and clothing. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Shi Tong was promoted to the Ministry of Industry and the Governor of Jingzhou as a "Yuan Cong Meritorious Hero", and was awarded the title of Duke of the State.

Wu Shi Tong died in the ninth year of Zhenguan, and Wu Zetian was twelve years old.

Her cousins Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun and Wu Yuanshuang fell into the trap and were rude to her mother Yang. Soon, Wu Zetian moved back to Chang'an with his mother from Jingzhou.

In November of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, after Tang Taizong came to Luoyang Palace, he heard that the fourteen-year-old Wu Zetian "tolerated beauty", so he summoned her into the palace, and was named a five-grade talent, and was given the name "Wu Mei", and later generations falsely called Wu Meiniang.

It's just that when this Wu Meiniang just entered Chang'an, a person sighed in the box on the second floor of a restaurant: "It was the order of the empress, but I met the Dragon of the Nine Heavens, stay up... If you don't meet him, as long as you enter the palace at the age of fourteen, you can live a safe life.

But if you meet him before the age of fourteen, it is a sign of mortality...! ”
