Li Chengqian hurried along the way, and when he came to Luoyang City, he didn't even enter the city, and directly took people to Song County.

Li Chengqian's large group of cavalry came to Luoyang, and naturally some people in Luoyang City knew about it.

Li Zhi heard that Zhou Jin led the cavalry of the East Palace to Song County, so he hurried back and forth to the courtyard where Li Shimin lived.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Your Majesty is having something to do at this moment, you better come here and sit down first!" A voice came from under the porch.

Li Zhi was about to go to sue Li Chengqian and didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he looked up, he saw the little palace maid who was serving the martial arts talent, standing under the porch to look at him.

Knowing that this was a martial artist looking for him, he walked down the corridor.

He clearly knew that Wucai was Li Shimin's concubine, and he shouldn't think about it, but he couldn't help but want to get closer to her.

And this martial artist is quite strategic, and he can help him in case of trouble, and the last time he summoned Changsun Wuji back, it was Wucai who guided him to do it.

Li Zhi thought about these and walked to the corridor, so he heard the palace maid whisper: "At this time, Your Majesty is angry for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Luoyang, don't go over to find it uncomfortable." ”

As soon as Li Zhi heard this, he knew that Li Chengqian had made his own decision this time, and Li Shimin, who had come to Luoyang to provoke him, was unhappy.

I was overjoyed, and I happened to tell my father about Zhou Jin to increase Li Shimin's disgust with Li Chengqian, but thinking of Li Shimin's anger and some hesitation, he wanted to discuss it with Wucai.

"I'll go to the side hall, and you go and invite the martial arts to come." Li Zhi said and walked into the side room.

The palace maid nodded when she heard this, and turned to leave.

After a while, the martial artist walked in lightly.

As soon as Li Zhi saw the martial arts, he said with a happy face: "The eldest brother is becoming more and more bold and reckless, Zhou Jin is not treated by his father because he is short and ugly, and the eldest brother has repeatedly promoted him, and now he has sent him a regiment of cavalry to escort him to Song County to take office."

You said how angry my father would be if I told my father about this! ”

Looking at Li Zhi, who was overjoyed, Wu Cairen frowned slightly, and immediately smiled at Li Zhi and said: "I heard that there is a lot of trouble outside, so let the courtiers outside do it." ”

"Why?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

Wucai people also have some special feelings for Li Zhi, and when he saw Li Zhi's innocent appearance at this time, he patiently explained to him: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are brothers after all, and the King of Donglai County was disgusted by His Majesty because he had the intention of killing your Royal Highness the Prince. If you go to sue now, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is brought down in the future, if His Majesty thinks that you are also involved, it will definitely be a big trouble for you to enter the East Palace. ”

When Li Zhi saw that Wucai explained to him gently like his mother, he couldn't help but feel good about her and was willing to listen to her.

nodded obediently and said, "I understand, even if I don't say this, Dai Zhide will find a way to let my father know." ”

Wu Cairen nodded, and then shook his head and said: "If Dai Zhide pokes out this matter today, you go to Your Majesty to sue Dai Zhide and blame him for all the things that are calculating His Royal Highness the Prince."

Then please ask Your Majesty to severely punish him and the Dao King. ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi was puzzled when he heard this.

"Why save Big Brother? He's determined to send me overseas. ”

"Because that kind of Dai Zhide will mess things up and affect you." Martial arts people are determined to be authentic.

Li Zhi realized what he said, and then asked, "Are you saying that you can't tell your father about Zhou Jin today." ”

"Yes." After saying that, Wu Cairen smiled at Li Zhi and said: "His Royal Highness King Jin, I have been here long enough, and if I stay here, others will be suspicious." ”

After a slight salute, he turned and went out.

Li Zhi's eyes kept staring at the back of the martial artist, and it was not until she walked out of the palace gate that she withdrew her gaze with a slight loss.

I sat in the side hall for a while, and thought that Li Shimin was angry in the main hall, so I got up and walked out.

"The solar term has entered winter, and if we don't start construction, this canal will not be dug this year." Li Chengqian looked at the gray mountain and forest roads on both sides of Yichuan.

"Please immediately go to Song County to recruit people and cooperate with Xue Shangren to repair the canal." Zhou Jin hurriedly asked.

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Don't worry, the scholars and cults in Yichuan and Song counties are all opposed to building canals, and if you are not careful, something big will happen." ”

Zhou Jin and the others felt that they couldn't understand Li Chengqian when they heard this, so they set off from Chang'an in a hurry, but they didn't hesitate when they arrived at the place.

How did they know that in later generations, Li Chengqian was familiar with the four volumes of Mao Xuan, and he knew best that the power of the common people was strong, so although he was anxious, he was still ready to patiently do investigation and research work.

Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi, Cheng Wuting, and Pei Xingjian said that they would not agree with Li Chengqian's departure of the 300 cavalry.

Want to do research with a large group of cavalry?

Isn't this nonsense?

Seeing the sunset, Li Chengqian looked at the four people who had established an offensive and defensive alliance with annoyance, and there was no way at all.

"Tonight we will live in the village in front, you go to the neighborhood and invite a few sensible people, old and young, men and women, and talk to them at night."

In the end, Li Chengqian said helplessly.

Hearing this, the four of them nodded together and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "When you enter the village, you can call me Li Dalang." ”

"Da Lang" is the eldest son of the family in this era.

Zhou Jin looked at the guards in front and back, left and right, and said, "Let's still call Gongzi." ”

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only the son of the monarch's family could be called Gongzi, and the son of the emperor before the Han Dynasty was also called Gongzi, the most famous being Gongzi Fusu.

In the Tang Dynasty, the standard for calling the prince was only the son of the duke's family.

Li Chengqian thought about it, and the Dalang family didn't believe it, so he nodded and acquiesced.

Pei Xingjian and Zhou Jin took people to the nearby village to find people, and Xue Rengui protected Li Chengqian to the entrance of the village.

The movement of hundreds of cavalry was too great, they were still far away from the village, the whole village was alarmed, women, children and children were hidden, and several old men, accompanied by the young men of the village, stood at the entrance of the village and waited for this group of uninvited guests.

Xue Rengui stepped forward and bowed his hand to them: "A few old soldiers are invited, we are escorting Gongzi to visit relatives in Song County, and it is already late when we come here, so we want to find a few houses in the village to borrow for one night." ”

The old man looked at the hundreds of cavalry behind him in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Xue Rengui hurriedly laughed and said: "We rough men will stay in the tent outside for one night, mainly because my son-in-law can't stand the wind and frost, as long as there are two houses." ”

When an old man heard this, he hurriedly said, "This is easy, please come to my house!" ”

"Then thank you, old man!" Xue Rengui gave up again.

The old men led them out of one of the neatest courtyards in the village.

Li Chengqian rode on a horse and saw the situation in the low courtyard wall from a distance, although the courtyard was the same as the other houses in his village, but the houses were obviously newly built, and it was a two-entry courtyard with more than ten houses, and it was obvious that the old man's family had a large population.

At this time, no one in the two courtyards was at home, and it was obvious that someone came to spread the news in advance, and the family members all hid out.

Li Chengqian got off the horse at the gate of the courtyard and followed the old man into the upper room, which was fairly clean, and there were reed mats behind two shabby white stubble wooden tables.

Li Chengqian took a closer look and knew that this house was a place specially used by this family to meet guests, and that the rural peasant households usually had empty houses for receiving guests, so there must be something different from that of ordinary peasant households.

Li Chengqian sat on the reed mat casually, and asked with a smile, "I don't know the old man's surname?"

The old man also relaxed a lot when he saw Li Chengqian's kindness, and said busily: "If you go back to your guests, the little old man's surname is Song." ”

"I see that the old Song Soldier's courtyard is neater than other houses in the village, so I don't think it's ordinary, right?" Li Chengqian continued to talk.

These words suddenly came to the heart of Old Man Song, and he grinned and said: "Your guests have good eyesight, and Xiao Lao'er's family has been better in the past two years, all because Xiao Lao'er has a competitive son who works on an errand in the county." ”

Li Chengqian nodded secretly in his heart, and then continued: "Actually, according to the village I have seen along the way, it is not as strong as the village of Song Laozhan. ”

When Old Man Song heard this, his eyes immediately widened and said, "Your guest is really not an ordinary person, and his eyes are more accurate than others. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he continued: "This is better here than other places, and I think the people in this village are hardworking and capable. ”

Old man Song said with a smug face when he heard this: "This distinguished guest didn't see it. He didn't wait for Li Chengqian to ask again, so he talked about where the people in Yichuan County were rich and where the people were poor, and why......

Li Chengqian was listening, and he heard a commotion outside, thinking that it was Pei Xingjian or Zhou Jin coming back, but he didn't expect that it was Li Yifu who came first.

When the old man Song saw that Li Chengqian had something to do, he got up and said goodbye, and Li Chengqian rewarded him with two pieces of money, and then went out with a thousand thanks.

"Minister Li Yifu see His Royal Highness the Prince."

There were no outsiders in the room, and the dusty Li Yifu hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian.

"Li Qingping, you came to see me so soon, but what happened?"

Hearing this, Li Yifu said eagerly: "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, something big has happened."

In order to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to immediately set up a fight and return to Luoyang. ”
