Text Chapter 55 Secret Cao Zuosi
The big wedding, Mrs. Xinchang Marquis will enter the palace to discuss with the princess and Mrs. Wang, all the rules are determined by the palace, by the internal servants, Han Qian and Li Zhihe, Li Chong accompanied Yang Yuanpu to chat some things that are not salty or light, and then they will leave and leave.
"During this time, you have really worked hard to teach Your Highness." Leaving Xiaoxiang Pavilion and walking towards the front yard, Li Chong couldn't help but complain in a weird way.
Han Qian saw that Li Zhihe's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he pondered for a moment and said: "I told Your Highness that a hundred people are loyal to the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion is loyal to Your Highness, and there is a difference between a hundred people being directly loyal to Your Highness, but don't forget, Your Majesty will not be bullied!" ”
Seeing that Han Qian openly admitted that he had sowed discord in front of the third prince, the corners of Li Chong's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Li Zhihe pulled Li Chong and asked him not to be angry with Han Qian, and said: "Han Qian is right, Your Majesty founded the Great Chu, has great ambitions, and in recent years, he has intended to prevent the dictatorship of the generals, if he really sees that when the Dragon Bird Army is formed, there are people from my Xinchang Marquis Mansion, and when the time comes, either some of the generals will be forcibly dismissed, or there will be more hesitation when considering the three princes." ”
Han Qian smiled in his heart, thinking that they still underestimated Emperor Tianyou, in other words, he was Emperor Tianyou, even if he didn't notice the conspiracy of the Late Red Mansion, he was really determined to support the third prince Yang Yuanpu to succeed to the throne, and after the Dragon Bird Army really formed its combat effectiveness, how could it be that they had to find a way to kill Li Pu and his son first, and let Shen Yang take charge of the army.
However, Li Zhihe can already have this level of understanding, so it is obviously beyond Li Chong's reach, and it is no wonder that although he is an adopted son, he can have much greater decision-making power than Li Chong in the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.
Hearing Li Zhihe say this, Li Chong had no way to be angry with Han Qian.
"Hou Yu really understands people, if there is anything to discuss with Hou Yu in the future, I am not afraid that I will make a mistake." Han Qian said.
Li Chong turned his head to look away.
"I really hope that you can take charge of the secret cao, and the secret cao will be set up in the dark and will not be made public, so you don't have to be afraid of being unable to explain it in front of Lord Han." Li Zhihe stared at Han Qian and said.
"I can command the manpower of the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang." Han Qian also picked up the words and said them clearly.
"The children of the Han Mansion's family soldiers, during this period of time, they have been sneaking to the state and county from time to time to experience, does Lord Han need to use our manpower to form the secret Cao?" Li Zhihe broke this matter, which also showed that they were not unaware of Han Qian's small actions in private.
After six or seven months of initial training, Han Qian arranged for them to disperse to nearby prefectures and counties for nearly a month to inquire and collect information on customs, topography and landforms, and the market price of products.
On the one hand, the children of the family soldiers need actual experience to really grow up quickly, and he has no patience and no time for them to study in the house for three or five years before they are released.
Even if his father doesn't have a stubborn temper, it has been thirteen years since Tianyou has been in the sky at this time, and Emperor Tianyou still has four years to live, and when the third prince Yang Yuanpu and the crown prince and King Xin don't see blood, they will see blood, and Jianghuai may be eroded at any time.
In any case, if he wants to have a certain ability to protect himself, it is impossible to train the children of the family soldiers step by step.
And Han Qian's personal energy is limited, and it is impossible for him to travel all over Jianghuaizhou County in a short period of time, if he wants to have a more accurate control of the situation in Chu State, he must also rely on the children of his family soldiers to collect information and intelligence for him.
As for collecting information on the market price of products, Han Qian mainly wanted to compare the market prices of Jinling's products and find business opportunities.
At that time, there was no sense of patent at all, and seeing that burning lime was very profitable, Zhang Qian and Guo Liang's two grandsons also built a stove in Taowu to burn stones after the year, and I don't know if Li Chong and Chai Jian saw that he intended to befriend Zhang Qian and Guo Liang during this time, and instigated them to do this behind their backs.
There is not much technical content in burning lime, once many people are involved, the profits that can be made are becoming thinner and thinner, although there are no people added to the villa, but there is no place where there is no need to spend money on horses, armor and craftsmen, Han Qian can only think of other ways to raise money.
It's just that he didn't expect the late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion to stare at him, which was more intense than he imagined.
Han Qian's blazing eyes stared at Li Zhihe, he wanted to look up to Li Zhihe, but how could Li Zhihe have the confidence to persuade Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, to persuade the black gauze woman to take charge of the company?
The Late Red Mansion has been lurking in the shadows all these years, and should know the importance of mastering a secret force, when or what happened, and they suddenly became so trusting of him?
Han Qian pondered for a while, and decided to tell Li Zhihe some things thoroughly: "Marquis Yu wants me to do more things, I dare not shirk it, but Marquis Yu must also understand that it is impossible for the Hou Mansion to be trusted if he does not show all the power at his disposal." Not to mention His Majesty and the concubine, His Royal Highness is smart and very ambitious. Li Hou and his wife, if they really want to succeed, they should make His Majesty convinced that His Highness has the ability to control the Dragon Bird Army, and then they will gradually tilt more resources over. Otherwise, His Highness's side will always be a pawn that is not taken seriously. ”
"......" Li Zhihe pondered for a while, and said to Li Chong, "Han Qian and I will go to the Evening Red Mansion first, and you go back to the house to tell your father, we should give an answer to His Highness as soon as possible." ”
Li Chong was reluctant in every way, and he also felt that the third prince was trained by Han Qian to be a little beyond their control, but how to deal with this matter in the end still had to be decided by his father and wife.
Han Qian thought that with Li Pu's knowledge, as long as he said it thoroughly, he would still be able to distinguish the importance of the matter, and after leaving the Hou Mansion, he and Li Zhihe would split into two ways and gallop to the Red Mansion in the evening.
After meeting with Yao Xishui and Su Hongyu, they didn't stay long in Yao Xishui's courtyard, and Xinchang Hou Li Pu and his second son-in-law Chai Jian rushed over directly with Li Chong.
The woman in the black gauze did not appear, at this time the matter was delayed, or that she was not in Jinling City during this time, and Yao Xishui and the others didn't seem to want to explain to Han Qian.
Listening to Li Zhihe talk in detail about the things he had discussed with Han Qian before, Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, nodded and said:
"Perhaps it may be suggested that His Royal Highness's secretary Cao should be divided into left and right to join the army, and when the time comes, the Red Mansion will organize two hundred homeless families into the cantonment military government to be governed."
When Xinchang Marquis Li Pu said this, he wanted to spread out the 200 elite forces they secretly controlled to the public, and they were incorporated into the cantonment military government as soldiers, and their families stayed in the military government with the nature of "hostages."
Han Qian didn't think that this would be the last power that the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang secretly mastered, but estimating the scale of the industry that the Late Red Mansion and the Marquis of Xinchang had in their hands, he guessed that even if they still had secret power in their hands, it should be limited.
"The child suggested that Lord Han should join the army on the left, but who is suitable for the right to join the army?" Li Zhihe asked, he still advocated Han Qian for one of the positions, but he didn't think about who the other person would choose.
"Chai Jian, come on; Then recommend Gao Chengyuan to make up for the lack of Du Yuhou! Li Pu did not veto Han Qian to join the army as the secretary of Cao Zuosi, but he knew that unless they sent their direct cronies, no one could really master this secret force.
And he didn't want to perfunctory the third prince Yang Yuanpu in this matter.
Han Qian's reminder is reasonable, they can bully Yang Yuanpu when he is young, and they can bully the concubine to live in the palace, but if they want to deceive Emperor Tianyou, it may be self-defeating.
And they can have today's situation, in fact, it is also based on the fact that Emperor Tianyou thinks that the three princes can do something, which is still opened by Han Qian's plan for the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
What they need to do now is to strengthen that foundation, not destroy it.
Gao Chengyuan was originally a guard beside Emperor Tianyou, and after the assassination incident, he was assigned by Emperor Tianyou to the third prince Yang Yuanpu as the deputy commander of the guard battalion.
Recommending Gao Chengyuan to replace Chai Jian as the Marquis of Duyu, on the one hand, shows that the Marquis of Xinchang has no ambition to specialize in the military power of the Dragon Bird Army, and on the other hand, through Gao Chengyuan, he passed on the achievements of the Dragon Bird Army to Emperor Tianyou to know that the three princes have indeed done something.
Gao Chengyuan may not offend the side of Anning Palace, but before Emperor Tianyou dies, he will not betray Emperor Tianyou.
Regarding this, Xinchang Hou Li Pu still has confidence in Emperor Tianyou.
Thinking of this, Xinchang Hou Li Pu said to Han Qian again: "The left and right divisions of the secret Cao are separated, what kind of personnel does the left division want to choose from the cantonment soldiers, you don't have to worry about Chai Jian and Chong'er interfering with you!" ”
The foundation of the Dragon Bird Army is in the cantonment military government, except for the official vacancies and the invited guest secretaries and strategists, the vast majority of the low-level military attaches and soldiers of the Cao Division must be selected from the cantonment military government; If you want to select people from other places, your people and families should also be merged into the cantonment military government.
Of course, Han Qian's private soldiers can be exempted.
It's just that most of the time, in order to show loyalty, the general's private soldiers will also arrange to live in a place close to the cantonment military palace as much as possible.
At present, the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard is located in Taowuji, and the families of the Han family's soldiers are actually under the control of the cantonment military government, and Li Pu is not worried about Han Qian's recommendation of the soldiers under his command to serve in the military.
Merge with each other, and in the end it will always be the big one that swallows the smaller.
Seeing that Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, did not object to Li Zhihe's recommendation to him at all, and gave him such a large right to dispose of it, Han Qian became more and more sure that something had happened, and said: "I can take charge of a division, and I will definitely not disappoint you in the future, but I have one condition." ”
"On what terms?" Xinchang Marquis Li Pu narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Qian and asked.
"If my father can go out of the place, I dare to do my best to do things for His Highness." Han Qian said.
is not so relaxed here, Han Qian also opened his mouth to mention such conditions, and even emphasized that he would try his best to do things for the "Three Princes", Yao Xishui narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, thinking that this guy is not afraid of being separated from this side.
"I can only do my best to ...... this," said Xinchang Hou Lipu.
"It's all thanks to Master Hou." Han Qian saw that Xinchang Marquis Li Pu did not directly object, so he knew that there was some hope for this matter, and thanked him.
In fact, Han Qian has been doing his father's work subtly since the beginning of the year, hoping that his father will have the opportunity to go out of the world, so that he will not be afraid in the future......
