Chapter 6: Something for You to Do
The eunuch brought a mat to Zhao Jie, spread it on the ground, and placed a eucalyptus in front of the mat, and sent tea and some snacks to Li Chengqian and Zhao Jie respectively.
Li Chengqian looked at the so-called tea in the bowl in front of him, his brows were furrowed, but Zhao Jie drank it with relish.
Tea in the Tang Dynasty was different from tea in later generations, and it was a tea soup made by brewing tea leaves with boiling water.
Tea drinking in the Tang Dynasty was to chop and grind the finished tea cakes into powder, and then add them to boiling water and boil them into a paste.
At the same time, salt, green onions, ginger, orange peel, mint, etc. are also added to it, which is similar to a terrible "Hu spicy soup", which is terrible to drink.
Li Chengqian can't drink this kind of tea, although this kind of tea is not something that ordinary people can drink.
Only the aristocracy can drink such a high-grade drink, ordinary people dare not think of it.
"Prince, why don't you drink it?" Zhao Jie shook the tea soup in the bowl with one hand, ate the pastries over and over again, and asked as if Li Chengqian didn't want to drink at all.
"Not very appetizing!" Li Chengqian said: "Don't talk about this, I have something to tell you." ”
Zhao Jie hurriedly took another sip of tea soup, put down the tea bowl and clapped his hands and hurriedly said: "Prince, what's the matter, just say it, I, Zhao Jie, will do it for the prince even if I work hard." ”
"Chengji, you wait outside the palace, and no one is allowed to come in without my orders." Li Chengqian said to the Su Gan Chengji on the side.
"No!" Su Gan Chengji received the order, and walked out of the hall directly without saying a word.
Li Chengqian glanced at Wang Quan and asked him to go out and stare at the point.
Zhao Jie saw that Li Chengqian was so cautious about opening his way, obviously he didn't want to hear about what he was going to do, except for them.
"Zhao Jie, this time we are planning a big thing, but you are of the same heart as me?" Li Chengqian asked.
"The prince and I are naturally of the same heart, we are a blood alliance, we have drunk blood wine, and we have sworn poison, have we forgotten the prince." Zhao Jiedao.
"I naturally haven't forgotten, I think about it, this time the planning of the big thing is still a little too hasty, not enough preparation, during this time we had better not act rashly." Li Chengqian said.
Since Li Chengqian plans not to embark on the road of rebellion, he must appease his gang, otherwise, no one knows what will happen.
Will there be a leak, if Li Er notices something when he arrives, it is very likely that he will be exposed as soon as he checks it out.
Therefore, Li Chengqian must eliminate this destabilizing factor, that is, let them suspend their rebellion first.
This is also an important reason why he called Zhao Jie over, and he hopes to convey it to others through Zhao Jie.
The reason why he didn't call them all here was that Li Chengqian was afraid that there would be too many people and talk too much, and it would be easy to attract the attention of others.
"Your Highness! Why is that? In order to start an incident, we have been preparing for a long time, and there are Zuotun Wei Zhonglang in the big interior to make Li Anyan the internal response, and there are also officials outside the palace and Chen Guogong Hou Junji as foreign aid. ”
"With the two of them here, coupled with our loyal service to His Highness, His Highness only needs to give an order, he can attack Ouchi, and follow the example of His Majesty back then, we can achieve great things." Zhao Jie said.
Zhao Jie didn't understand, how did it get to this juncture, the prince became timid.
Because Li Chengqian experienced the previous life, many things were clearer than they could see, and rebellion was not the only way out, and it was only as a last resort that he had to do it.
But even if their rebellion succeeded, Li Anyan and Hou Junji alone would not be able to suppress the scene at all.
The current situation is different from the situation when Li Yuan was in power.
Li Chengqian's current strength cannot be compared with Li Er's strength at the beginning, and even the strength of the original hidden prince Li Jiancheng is stronger than the current Li Chengqian.
What's more, the current Li Er is much stronger than Li Yuan at the beginning, and his ability to control the situation has thrown Li Yuan several streets.
Therefore, the priority now is not to think about how to rebel, but how to strengthen yourself.
"The current situation is completely incomparable with when my father was the king of Qin, our strength is still too weak after all, and we will only be broken if we are hard, so we can only slowly figure it out." Li Chengqian said.
"But Your Highness! Even if we can wait, can they wait, King Wei? King Wei doesn't want to replace His Highness all the time! Zhao Jie said.
There is no need for Zhao Jie to remind him of this, Li Chengqian is also very clear in his heart.
The contradiction between him and Li Tai has reached the point of irreconcilability, and Li Er has to bear a lot of responsibility for this situation.
Li Tai is talented, intelligent, and deeply favored by Li Er, which makes Li Tai have an idea of the throne and have the heart to win the heir.
This was feared by Li Chengqian at that time, so Li Chengqian sent Su Gan Chengji to assassinate Li Tai.
Who knew that Su Gan Chengji actually did not do well, failed to kill Li Tai, and almost confessed himself.
Since then, the two brothers have become an endless situation.
"I know all this, you don't need to remind me, you don't have to worry about King Wei's affairs! I have my own way to deal with it, and the most important thing now is not Wei Wangtai. ”
"You remember it for me! I want you to contact Hou Junji and them, and make sure that they burn all the letters exchanged with me, leaving no trace, and you must do this properly. "Li Chengqian cut the railway.
He didn't allow Zhao Jie to have the slightest doubt, otherwise it would be detrimental to his next plan.
"Understood!" Zhao Jie didn't look like Li Chengqian was joking, and nodded in response.
"I want you to understand that this is for our future, so that we can sit back and relax! In the future, it will be up to you to contact Hou Junji, Li Anyan and others. ”
"In the future, if it is not necessary, it is better for me and them not to meet easily, so as not to waste all the previous efforts." Li Chengqian said.
Zhao Jie nodded, the prince said so, he didn't have much to say, since the prince was not in a hurry, what was he anxious about.
"By the way, Zhao Jie, do you remember the eldest princess of Tong'an?" Li Chengqian asked suddenly.
"Remember, this aunt is amazing! When I was young, I was taught by her many times, and every time I mentioned her, I was terrified! How could His Highness suddenly mention this aunt and grandmother. Zhao Jie said with palpitations.
I really can't figure out what's going on with today's prince, first stopped the rebellion, and now there is a sudden mention of this powerful aunt and grandmother.
Princess Tong'an is Li Yuan's half-sister, and she is Li Chengqian's grandmother in terms of generation.
"That's when you were young, you always made him angry, who did you clean up if you didn't clean up?"
"My aunt and grandmother have called her grandson Wang Fangyi, do you know?" Li Chengqian asked.
"There seems to be such a person, but he and his mother seemed to have been kicked out of the house by their aunt and grandmother, and now they don't know where they are, how could the prince think of this person?" Zhao Jie asked curiously.
Wang Fangyi, the word Zhongxiang, and Zhou Qiren, a famous general in the Gaozong period of the Tang Dynasty, lost his father at an early age, because Princess Tong'an was powerful, and rejected his mother Li, Wang Fangyi and his mother moved to Fengquanshu.
It was not until the death of Princess Tong'an that Wang Fangyi returned to Chang'an.
