Chapter 558: Cultivating Power

After leaving the palace, Li Yu quietly went to a secluded house in the capital.

That was the place agreed between Fang Xuanling and Li Yu.

The house is very remote, there are basically no people around, and the area around the house is basically deserted, only a few cicadas are chirping wildly, and a few sparrows are jumping on the branches.

As soon as Li Yu walked in here, the door of the abandoned mansion creaked open, and Li Yu did not hesitate and walked in directly.

After entering, I saw a big tree dismounting, and Fang Xuanling was sitting and drinking, of course the wine was beer.

"Lord ......"

Li Yu walked over, "I went to the palace, so I came late." ”

Li Yu just said a word, and didn't explain too much, and after he finished speaking, he sat down next to him.

After sitting down, Li Yu didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Tell me everything you know." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Lord Wang, this Zhou Yan's subordinates still understand, after all, he and I are the same servant in the Ministry of Industry, he is indeed a clean official, he has never been greedy for a penny for more than ten years, and he has also been collecting evidence of embezzlement and embezzlement of public funds by Han Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it is reported that he found evidence, then Han Xin was afraid, so he tried to frame him, and this Han Xin is the person of Li Qing, the king of the Qing, and Li Qing has Li Qing in the capital to help, and it is not difficult to frame Zhou Yan. ”

Fang Xuanling said very directly and clearly, from his words, you can hear many things, for example, Zhou Yan was indeed framed, and he is indeed a good official.

And Han Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is the person of Qingwang.

"Lord Wang, in fact, most of the officials in the six departments have been co-opted by several princes, for example, under King Qing, there are Han Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Luo Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the subordinates of King Yi, Zhang Zhinian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Qiansun, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Fang Xuanling continued, and his words also made it clear to Li Yu that whether it was the Green King or the Wing King, there were cultivation forces in the six departments, and they all controlled important departments.

For example, Li Qing, although his Ministry of Industry is a yamen that is not taken seriously, but the Ministry of Industry often has some funds allocated by the imperial court, as long as he does a little tricks, he can be greedy for ink, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the audit of officials of the Tang State, Li Qing has the Ministry of Officials, so he has a way to make better arrangements for his officials.

Li Shang's Ministry of Rites is a bit chicken, but it also controls the Book of Rites, and the Criminal Department is in charge of punishment, so it is too easy to frame individuals or something.

However, the two most important departments, the household department and the military department, did not fall into the hands of the two of them, but it can be seen that his father is not confused, and he also knows how to control some things.

"Lord Wang, if you want to win the position of the crown prince, among the six departments, there must be some talents, the meaning of the subordinates, next, the prince can slowly lay out, you can start with the Ministry of Industry first."

Speaking, Fang Xuanling took out a list and said, "This is the person who helped Wang Ye win over during this time, there are a total of eighteen people, and nine of their Chinese martial arts officials are each, and Wang Ye arranges them at his discretion." ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Yu was a little shocked, he didn't expect that in just half a year, Fang Xuanling had helped him win over so many people.

Eighteen is not a small number.

He hurriedly opened it and saw that the list was all officials of the fifth or sixth rank in the court, and the largest one was only the fourth rank, which was Di Zhixun, the squire of the Criminal Department.

When he saw the name Di Zhixun, Li Yu was slightly stunned, and then remembered, isn't this Di Renjie's father, but I don't know if there is Di Renjie.

Thinking in his heart, Li Yu nodded, "Okay, Master Fang has gained a lot during this time, so I will do what you say and start to lay out the court." ”

After Li Yu returned to the house, he immediately sent someone to secretly investigate Han Xin.

Although he has Zhou Yan's evidence in his hand, this evidence is inevitably a little thin, and if he wants to punish the crime, the best way is to directly seize the stolen goods and find out the money embezzled by Han Xin.

In that case, Han Xin has no way to quibble even if he wants to.

Li Yu's foundation in the capital was unstable, and there were not many spies, only a few brought back from Shuozhou, and after Li Yu arranged for them, he began to wait for their news.

And while Li Yu was waiting for the news like this, the cooks of Liang Guo and Qi Guo had already learned a few kinds of small stir-frying, and they were ready to go back.

Li Yu, as the person who negotiated with them, had to give them a ride.

Outside the capital, the weather is still hot.

When the envoys of Liang and Qi went back, they brought a lot of things, and they took this opportunity to buy a lot of things in Tang, such as beer, iron pots, and some other things.

The wind blew with enthusiasm, Qi Rou looked at Li Yu and said, "King Yongde, your talent is admired by this princess, but now that we are leaving, are you willing to write another poem?" ”

Qi Rou said very seriously, and it was true, as if he and Li Yu were just friends in the ring, after Bai Xiaoxiu of the two countries saw this, he couldn't help but pout, and secretly scolded a little in his heart.

Li Yu here, smiled lightly, "There is a confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other, maybe we will have the opportunity to meet in the future, and how to talk about parting, this poem is not done." ”

Li Yu said, Qi Rou pursed her lips, "You are really capable of pretending, you obviously wrote a good poem, but you just said that you don't want to do it." ”

Li Yu was stunned: "Is there one?" ”

"Why not, there is a confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other, isn't it just a good sentence?"

Li Yu was stunned, he just said this poem in passing, and he didn't realize that it was a poem, after all, in the previous life, this sentence was too famous, just say it casually.

He didn't mean to show off.

But now that he was pointed out by Qi Rou, Li Yu could only laugh out loud in embarrassment.

After saying goodbye, Qi Jianshen was a little impatient, and pulled Qi Rou into the carriage, Qi Rou sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, very reluctant.

Li Yu led people to stand on the moat outside the capital, watching the two honor guards slowly move away, but suddenly sighed.

I have to say that Qi Rou is a very good girl, and she is very happy to be with her, even if he is the princess of Qi Kingdom, Li Yu does not need to pretend to be there.

But the two of them belong to different countries, and now he can't make a person, and he can't promise to give him happiness at all, and the two of them are only afraid that they will be destined for nothing in this life.

Fortunately, I have never been affectionate, even if I lose it, I don't feel heartache, but I feel a little sorry, and when they meet again, I'm afraid it will not be when their Tang State will destroy the Qi State, or when the Qi State will destroy their Tang Kingdom.

I'm afraid there will be no other choice.

"Go back!" When the guard of honor of the envoys of the two countries finally disappeared, Li Yu rushed back with people.
