Chapter 16: Three Birds with One Stone!

Li Yun took Gai Nie and Xue Rengui back to the palace, and after Li Yun explained the summoning to Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui also willingly became Li Yun's subordinate.

Because he can see that Li Yun has the appearance of an emperor, and the imperial temperament on Li Yun is not something that ordinary people can have.

So he was willing to submit to Li Yun.

Li Yun asked lightly, "Mr. Gai, who do you think came to assassinate me?"

Li Yun had many doubts about today's assassination, so now he wanted to discuss it with Gai Nie.

"In the court, there are only two people who want to kill His Majesty, one is the prime minister, and the other is the queen mother, but today the prime minister's daughter is with you, and those killers are still merciless, so the queen mother is more likely!"

"So you think the Queen Mother did it?" Li Yun asked.

"The prime minister has the potential to unite with you now, so he won't attack you easily now, so I think it's the queen mother. Gai Nie said.

"But the Queen Mother's words, will it be a little rushed?" Li Yun asked.

"If the Queen Mother wants to get rid of me, as long as I can't solve the problem of the displaced people, she can justifiably let me step down, she doesn't need to kill me, and she knows that I have you by my side, how can she easily send someone to assassinate me?"

"What does Your Majesty mean?" asked Gai Nie quickly.

Li Yun shook his head, "There are too many doubts in this matter, and there are still many things I haven't thought about clearly." ”

"Okay, let's put this matter aside, we still have very important things to do. Li Yun continued.

"General Xue, I have something I need you to help me do!" Li Yun said lightly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty, and then die!" Xue Rengui immediately knelt in front of Li Yun.

"This matter is a bit unfair to General Xue, I wonder if General Xue is willing?" Li Yun continued.

Xue Rengui continued to kneel and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"I want you to be an undercover agent!" Li Yun said immediately.

"Undercover?"

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is an 'undercover agent'?" Xue Rengui immediately asked.

Indeed, the word undercover is not an ancient word, so it is normal for Xue Rengui and them not to know what it means.

Li Yun thought for a while and continued: "An undercover agent is the kind of person who infiltrates the enemy, ostensibly being an enemy, but in fact you are indeed my person, which is what you call the 'dark line'. ”

"Dark line, does Your Majesty mean to go to my dark line?" Xue Rengui asked.

"That's what I mean, it's just that this dark line is difficult, it may be discovered at any time, and it is very dangerous, I don't know if General Xue is willing?"

"The minister said that the minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, the minister is a dead person, it was His Majesty who gave the minister a second life, not to mention doing a dark line, even if His Majesty let the minister die, the minister is willing!" Xue Rengui said loudly.

Li Yun could see that Xue Rengui's loyalty was 100%, so Li Yun believed what he said.

"Okay, General Xue, as long as you are willing, my plan will be half successful!"

"I wonder what His Majesty's plan is?"

Li Yun smiled faintly: "Okay, then tonight I will tell you how I solved the matter of the displaced people and how to gain a force." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak. ”

"First of all, there are nearly 30,000 displaced people from Nanling, according to my observation in the past few days, these displaced people have been screened out by Darwin's law, do you know what Darwin's law is?"

Gai Nie and Xue Rengui hurriedly shook their heads.

Li Yun smiled and continued: "That's what you call the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!"

"They rushed from Nanling to Chang'an, and experienced all kinds of calamities, these calamities are enough to eliminate the weak groups among them, and the people who survive are those who are strong or capable, if these people are in the army, what is their quality?" Li Yun smiled.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "If it is supervised and trained, this must be a strong army!"

"That's right, so I'm going to let these strong outcasts form an army, and their families will be exempted from taxes and given relief, so they will follow me with all their hearts. ”

At this time, Gai Nie slowly stepped forward and said, "Although what Your Majesty said can solve the problem of displaced people, but with such a large army, what should be used to feed them?"

Li Yun continued to smile and said, "Who said that I want to raise them personally?"

"But......" Gagnie was puzzled.

Li Yun sat down and talked eloquently, "This is the second step of my plan, I want to send this army to the prime minister!"

"For the prime minister?" Gai Nie was shocked.

"That's right, give it to the prime minister, but not really to the prime minister, but to let the prime minister raise this army for us. ”

"Your Majesty, although the prime minister is allied with you, he is still guarding against you, how can you raise an army for you?" Gai Nie hurriedly asked.

"Because this army is nominally his!"

"I will discuss with him first, let him fight on the basis of reason above the court, and implement my plan to let these homeless people join the army, you know, the prime minister's power is as much as half of the court, so when the time comes, I will definitely be able to persuade the queen mother to let these homeless people join the army."

And privately, I will tell the prime minister that after these homeless people fill the army, he can train them to become his own private army, the prime minister is now fighting with the queen mother, if there is such a force, the prime minister will readily agree, when the time comes, these homeless people will become my Daqin's soldiers, and naturally my Daqin treasury will support them!"

"Although Your Majesty's method is good, doesn't it encourage the power of the Prime Minister? I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to Your Majesty in the future!" Gai Nie analyzed.

Li Yun was still smiling, and said slowly: "This is the third step of my plan!"

"That's why I asked General Xue to be an agent for me!"

Xue Rengui and Gai Nie were still looking at Li Yun suspiciously, Li Yun saw that they were puzzled, and continued: "General Xue, I want you to pretend to be a homeless person and join the homeless people. ”

"Since the prime minister wants to train this army to become his private army, then he must not disperse these displaced people, because it is not easy to train to disperse, and the prime minister has to manage a private army composed of so many displaced people, and the officers transferred from his own barracks are not easy to manage, so he will definitely choose officers from these displaced people. ”

"And I asked General Xue to pretend to be a homeless person, with General Xue's skills and skills, he will naturally be selected as an officer, and what I need is for General Xue to climb up step by step, and finally be able to control this army, so that this army can finally be used by me!"

In fact, it is not for nothing that Li Yun asked Xue Rengui to be this undercover agent, because Xue Rengui learned a skill back then, and then he has not been reused, and he has also worked in the fire head army, Xue Rengui is a general from a small soldier, so he is very familiar with the life in the military camp, and he can better deal with various difficulties.

Moreover, Xue Rengui is absolutely good at leading troops to fight and manage the army, if he can really manage the army well, this army will become Li Yun's secret weapon in the future.

After Li Yun's words were finished, Gai Nie and Xue Rengui suddenly realized in an instant, and finally understood the deep meaning of Li Yun's plan.

His plan can be described as killing three birds with one stone, that is, solving the problem of the displaced people, currying favor with the prime minister, and most importantly, gaining an army of his own.

At this time, the eyes of the two looking at Li Yun changed from awe to admiration, and they were deeply impressed by Li Yun's scheming.
