Chapter 164: The Pit Man Project

Yin Hongzhi is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Honglu Temple is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, but this time Li Tai came up with the topic, Li Tai only told Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Yin Hongzhi is Li You's uncle, and he won't tell him if he kills Li Tai.

Yin Hongzhi wanted to inquire from Tang Jian, who was a gentleman who kept his promises, and said that His Royal Highness the King of Wei said that he was not allowed to tell anyone, so he could not tell him.

If Li You wants to trap people, he has to know what the topic of Li Tai is, Yin Hongzhi didn't get inquired, and told Li You very regrettably.

Li You thought for a while and smiled: "Uncle, what's so difficult about this, I promise that one person knows." ”

Yin Hongzhi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, he will hide it from others, but he will definitely tell His Majesty." That guy will shoot His Majesty's dragon claws. ”

Li You's plan happened to be approved by Li Shimin, so he entered the palace to ask to see Li Shimin.

Liangyi Palace, study.

Li Shimin was reviewing the recital, and Ma Xuanliang came in and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi has something important to report, and he wants to avoid people's eyes, so please ask Your Majesty to see him in a different place." ”

Now Li You is becoming more and more important in Li Shimin's mind, and he knows that Li You must have something important to do this.

Li Shimin said: "Okay, you take him to my dormitory first, and I'll go over in a while." ”

Li Shimin was diligent in government affairs, usually worked in the study of the Liangyi Palace, rested in the dormitory of the Liangyi Hall at noon, and returned to the emperor's bed after work every evening.

Soon after, Li Shimin met with Li You.

Li You received: "Father, can you let me take a look at the topic of my fourth brother?" ”

Li Shimin didn't take it with him and put it in the study, but he had an impression and said, "Wang De, you go to the study and get Li Tai's topic." ”

After that, he asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Li You said: "Father, I'm afraid those topics can't help Lu Dongzan. ”

Li Shimin admired Li Tai's questions very much, and he couldn't answer them himself. He said incredulously, "It can't be." ”

Li You said: "Father, Lu Dongzan is the first wise man in Tibet, and the Songtsen Gampo of Tibet can achieve such great achievements, and more than half of the credit should be attributed to Lu Dongzan. Later, Erchen will know after reading the title. ”

Wang De quickly took Li Tai's question, Li You took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised - sure enough, it was the six famous problems that came out of marrying Princess Wencheng in history.

Li You immediately said: "Father, these questions can't help but Lu Dongzan!"

Still in disbelief, Li Shimin asked, "How can you be sure?" ”

Li You said: "Father, in terms of intelligence, Lu Dongzan is far better than his sons. These questions can be answered by the sons, let alone him?! ”

Li Shimin still didn't believe it, and said, "Tell me, what are the answers to these questions?" ”

Li You answered these six questions one by one.

Li Shimin was shocked, he thought he was extremely smart, but he put a lot of effort into it, and he could only guess two of these questions correctly.

Li You can answer it with just a glance, which is enough to be demonic. According to Li You, isn't that Lu Dongzan even more demonic?!

Li Shimin suddenly fell in love with talents, and he had a good impression of Lu Dongzan, and said: "Such talents should be used by my Datang." I'm going to keep him. ”

Li You shook his head and said, "Father, you can't keep him." ”

Li Shimin said: "How about I canonize him as the general of the Right Guard, and then promise him a family affair from the Zhongzong family?" ”

Li You shook his head and said, "No." Lu Dongzan is a big husband, and he will never be shaken by your conditions. ”

Li Shimin was a little depressed and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Li You said: "Father, the son and the retainer have the same idea as you - to leave Lu Dongzan in Chang'an.

Father, you are wise and martial, and that is what you have. And Songtsen Gampo is only good at employing people, and half of his talent comes from Lu Dongzan. As long as Lu Dongzan can be kept in Chang'an, most of the affairs in Tubo will be solved. ”

Li Shimin asked, "How can you keep him?" ”

The ancients paid attention to faith and righteousness, and everything must be famous. Unlike modern people, there is no bottom line in doing things for the sake of victory.

When the ancients fought wars, they fought first, and modern people looked ridiculous, but it was a portrayal of the heroism of that era.

Lu Dongzan is an envoy, and Li Shimin cannot forcibly detain people.

Li You said: "Erchen's plan is to ......"

Li Shimin smiled: "Okay, just do it." ”

"Hahahaha", the father and son made a plan to trap people, and let out a smug smile.

Li You received: "Father, the son will leave." ”

"Wait a minute." Li Shimin stopped Li You.

He chimed in: "Wang De, take my gold medal." ”

Li Shimin took the gold medal in Wang De's hand, handed it to Li You, and said, "In the future, you can enter the palace to see me at any time, and there is no need to report it." ”

"Thank you, Father." Li You was pleasantly surprised.

You can see the driver at any time without reporting, and only the eldest grandson Wuji has this privilege in the entire Datang. Now, Li You has also won this honor.

Out of the Liangyi Palace, Li You couldn't help but take out the gold medal to play.

On the gold medal, one side is coiled with dragons, and the other side is raised with four big characters: "If I am here." "With this gold medal, when you go there to do things, as long as you show the gold medal, you represent Li Shimin.

Terrible!

"His Royal Highness King Qi." Li You was smug and was woken up.

Li Chuanzhi, the guard of the East Palace, said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited." "It turned out that when Li You entered the palace, he was seen by the doorman of the East Palace and reported to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian instructed Li Chuanzhi to wait here, and when he saw Li You coming out, he invited him to the East Palace as a guest.

East Palace.

Yesterday, Li You recommended Li Chengqian to manage the salt administration, and the eldest grandson Wuji was very happy and personally came to the East Palace to report the good news to Li Chengqian.

Salt politics is a critical power, and mastering salt politics is equivalent to mastering a large part of Datang's tax source. In addition to handing over this source of tax to the imperial court, it is necessary to leave a part of it for operation in accordance with regulations, and Li Chengqian will have the right to control this money.

In addition, the salt administration has a yamen in various places, which can install a large number of cronies, who can exert influence on the local government in various places.

At this time, Li Chengqian's strength has been greatly improved.

Li Chengqian was very excited, and Zhang Xuansu was also happy for him.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Highness, the minister has always asked you to befriend His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and now you can see the benefits." ”

Li Chengqian said gratefully: "Fifth brother really has nothing to say to me. ”

Li Chengqian was originally thinking about going to the door this afternoon to thank Li You, and when he heard that Li You was coming to the palace, he invited him to come over the house as a guest.

"Fifth brother, how can I thank you, eldest brother?" Seeing Li You, Li Chengqian said affectionately.
