"Exactly, His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince, should protect the people and protect the temple first, the current thieves are attacking the city and plundering the land and killing the people, His Royal Highness the prince has elite soldiers and strong generals, he should personally lead the army to quell the rebellion and calm the people, so that the temple of Sheji Zong can be peaceful." Then Zhao Sheng, the patriarch of the Zhao clan, also said indignantly.

If Li Chengqian was persuaded to send troops to quell the rebellion, these people had repeatedly scrutinized before they came, and their backs were ripe, but they had never had the opportunity to play, and they could not let go of the opportunity when they finally seized the opportunity at this time.

Li Chengqian always listened to them with an indifferent expression, and after they finished speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Zhu Yaohui, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and said with a smile: "The words you just passed on the left contradicted the lonely king, and the lonely king also replied with a sentence on the left pass, 'Shi Kehe, not in the crowd'." ”

Zhu Yaohui was shocked when he heard this, and before he could speak, he heard Lu Quan ask loudly: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, 'Shi Kehe, not in public. But is it said that victory in a war lies in the unity of the people, not in the number of soldiers?"

"Exactly!" Li Chengqian said directly.

Lu Quan listened and his eyes swept over the civil and military officials and the soldiers below, so he said in surprise: "Could it be that these officials and soldiers are not in harmony?"

As soon as Lu Quan's words came out, all the civil and military officials on the high platform showed anger in their eyes, but Lu Quan did not see it, and continued to say to Li Chengqian: "Since this is the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should ask His Majesty to personally rectify it." ”

Li Chengqian saw that Lu Quan was still stirring up the relationship between him and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs at this time, so he couldn't help but smile and pointed at Lu Quan and said, "You are really a bad thing." ”

"Ahh Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then asked angrily, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"

Everyone looked at Li Chengqian in confusion when they heard this.

Li Chengqian didn't say much, and said directly to Li Yifu: "You tell them." ”

"Yes!"

Li Yifu saluted Li Chengqian when he heard this, and then said aloud to everyone: "This Zhu Yaohui gave Cai Wenying ten stones of rice, ten stones of wheat, and ten stones of soybeans the day before Cai Wenying's incident. In order to fund Cai Wenying's rebellion, he also donated 500 yuan to the Taoist King to make weapons for Cai Wenying.

Cai Wenying rebelled, Zhu Yaohui and many Song County gentry gave them food and money, but now Cai Wenying is gathering more and more people now, and there is not enough food, so they sent people to rob their homes, and they are doing it themselves.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally thought that Zhu Yaohui was the only one among these clan patriarchs who had collusion with Cai Wenying, but now it seems that Zhu Yaohui is definitely not the only one here who has colluded with Cai Wenying. ”

Listening to Li Yifu's words, Zhu Yaohui collapsed directly on the ground, and the other clan patriarchs were also frightened and speechless.

Most of them have nothing to do with Cai Wenying, but at this time it is really difficult to argue.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian said directly: "Take it all down and hand it over to Li Yifu for careful interrogation." ”

"Wronged, the grass people are wronged!"

Some of the patriarchs of the scholar clan saw the guards coming to arrest them, and they desperately shouted grievances. They knew that Li Chengqian had taken them down in front of tens of thousands of people, and it would be extremely difficult to overturn the case in the future.

But their shouts of grievances were exchanged for angry reprimands from the people and soldiers.

After the guards escorted all the scholars down, Li Chengqian raised his hands and calmly looked at the soldiers and people below.

When tens of thousands of people saw Li Chengqian, whether near or far, and saw Li Chengqian raise his hand, they all stopped talking and waited for Li Chengqian to speak.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian suddenly became arrogant, and his dantian was angry, and his tongue burst into a spring thunder and said loudly: "Anyone who dares to collude with thieves and robbers to harm my people will be severely punished regardless of their origin, and these patriarchs of the scholar clan are examples!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

As soon as Li Chengqian's voice fell, Du He and others immediately took the lead in shouting.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

Soon tens of thousands of people at the scene shouted excitedly, in fact, many people didn't know what Li Chengqian said when they left the venue, but they would remember the six words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise" for a lifetime, and Cai Wenying would also be convinced of the collusion with the patriarchs of these scholars.

This is exactly the result that Li Chengqian wants.

On that day, all the Donggong offerings, some people who were assigned to the fields and those who were unable to work, and those who could speak the Tao began to go to various prefectures and counties in Luozhou in batches to publicize Li Chengqian's wisdom and greatness.

The battle between Li Chengqian and the Shi clan was in full swing.

Returning to Li Chengqian's temporary residence in Yichuan County, Pei Xingjian said with a solemn expression: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although these scholars should be killed, I am afraid that this will cause the world to shake." ”

"What do you think you should do with the promise?" Li Chengqian asked quietly.

Pei Xingjian said directly when he heard this: "The minister thinks that it is better to divide and disintegrate, let them bite each other, anyway, after this matter, the scholars near Luozhou will completely lose the hearts of the people, and it will be difficult to stir up any storms."

After a few years, His Royal Highness King Wu has opened up overseas, just find a reason to send them all out. ”

Li Chengqian was noncommittal when he heard this, but looked at Pei Xingjian with a smile and asked, "Why did the covenant suddenly turn." ”

Pei Xingjian's face turned red when he heard this: "Minister-minister can see the faces of these people clearly today, such people really can't stay in China!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "You can turn this corner and King Gu is very happy, today King Gu said, 'Shi Kehe, not in the crowd', you also have to think about it, how powerful my China was when the two Han Dynasty were in China, the Chinese soldiers were invincible, and the Three Kingdoms were divided into civil strife for decades and the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses."

However, the people are mourning all over the wilderness in the wars again and again, and the white bones of Tongdu Dayi are piled up, and the fertile Central Plains is only left with hares and foxes.

Later, the Western Jin Dynasty dumped the Eight Kings Rebellion, and they attracted the Wuhu to enter the customs to disturb China, and the Chinese people were gone. ”

When Li Chengqian said this, he saw Pei Xingjian shed tears, and he also felt his innocence, and threw a handkerchief over casually.

The handkerchief smashed on Pei Xingjian's chest, Pei Xingjian trembled, picked up the handkerchief and looked at it, thinking of Li Chengqian's past with Xiangxin, his face suddenly became like a red cloth.

I secretly said in my heart: What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?

When Pei Xingjian was thinking nonsense, he suddenly felt a gaze looking at him, and hurriedly looked up and saw that it was Cheng Wuting staring at his face.

Suddenly embarrassed, he asked angrily, "What are you watching me do?"

"You took a handkerchief and looked at it for a long time, and I don't know if you wiped the tears on your face, what are you looking at?" Cheng Wuting asked curiously.

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, then bowed down and handed the handkerchief to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian glanced at it and said with disgust: "You have used it, what are you going to do for me?"

"Ahh

Pei Xingjian was about to cry when he heard this, whether he threw the handkerchief or put it in his arms, he felt that this handkerchief was very hot.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian also understood that Pei Xingjian had misunderstood, but it was difficult to explain this matter.

He snorted heavily at the moment, and asked in a deep voice, "I just said it for a long time, do you know why?"

Pei Xingjian hurriedly put away his thoughts when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that there is discord in Huaxia, so that Hu Lu has a chance. ”

"Humph! Fools know! Li Chengqian said disdainfully.

"Ahh Pei Xingjian looked at Li Chengqian puzzled.

"You have to think about it, why did China not make peace at that time?" Li Chengqian guided.

"Because, because of ......" Pei Xingjian has always been concentrating on military affairs, and he is not proficient in theories other than military.

Li Chengqian said directly: "Because there are too many talents." ”

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" Pei Xingjian was even more puzzled when he heard this.

"There are too many talents, too chaotic ideas, and they all want to be superior, so it is inevitable to have internal strife. Over time, if you use all your ingenuity and wisdom in infighting, can you not cause chaos in the world?" Li Chengqian said lightly.

Pei Xingjian nodded sincerely after hearing this, looked at Li Chengqian with great admiration and said, "Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the reason for this rebellion." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and slowly spoke: "The reason why so many scholars participated in this rebellion is because these scholars used the rebellion as a means to deal with me.

But they were so unscrupulous, and finally got a tiger to make trouble, not only harming the local people but also themselves.

If the scholars in other places do the same, the world will be in turmoil, so the Lone King can no longer be soft on them. ”

Pei Xingjian thought for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly solemnly bowed to Li Chengqian again: "Thank you for the teachings of His Royal Highness Prince Xie, the minister understands!" ”

"It's good to understand, you go and help Li Yifu do things beautifully, King Gu doesn't want the world to say that I am unscrupulous." Li Chengqian stated the ultimate goal.

"Obey the order!"

Pei Xingjian bowed and retired.

Pei Xingjian went out for a while, and Li Chengqian suddenly thought that Pei Xingjian had misunderstood him just now, so he said to Cheng Wuting: "Wu Ting went to beat him up." ”

Cheng Wuting was overjoyed at first, but still asked, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beat Pei Shouyu?"

"He just slandered the Lone King in his heart that he should be beaten."

"Ahh Cheng Wuting was so shocked when he heard this.

"Go!"

"Obey the order!" Cheng Wu went happily.
