It was nearly dusk, and several pigeons flew through the sky with a sharp whistle.

Li Chengqian sat under the window of the study on the west side of the Lizheng Palace, and when he heard the whistle and looked out, he didn't see anything, but a faint smile still appeared on his face when he looked at the clean sky.

After a while, he looked back at Li Ke, who was still looking down at the table next to him, and joked to him: "Don't pretend, if you have to study this thing for a long time, then it won't be my third brother." ”

Li Ke raised his head and smiled embarrassedly: "The eldest brother is a genius who can come up with such a wonderful way to transmit information, which is really a five-body throw that makes the younger brother admire." ”

"Really?" Li Chengqian asked deliberately.

Li Ke was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The younger brother naturally admires the eldest brother very much. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he said with a straight face: "Then you can show me one of the five bodies." ”

Li Ke's face turned red, looking at Li Chengqian's face with a narrow smile, and only after a while did he shout: "Big brother!" There was an aggrieved look on his face.

Li Chengqian couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You have learned this set of password methods for transmitting intelligence, go back and find some smart people, and teach them for the eldest brother that they can be used in the transmission of military intelligence in the future." ”

Li Ke said with a straight face: "Brother obeys!" As he spoke, he walked over to the table and picked up a few pieces of paper on the table, which were not written down by the method of military intelligence transmission but Arabic numerals.

It turned out that Li Chengqian today taught Li Ke the method of transmitting and eliminating the telegram code, and at the same time taught him Arabic numerals.

Li Chengqian taught Li Ke this set of things in order to let him help set up the intelligence system of the East Palace, which was very important for him to go north to the grassland later.

Li Chengqian watched Li Ke walk out and got up and walked out slowly, with the old ghost following beside him.

"The method I taught the third child just now, you also learned it while watching from the side, right?" Li Chengqian asked seemingly casually.

When the old ghost heard this, he said with a smile on his fat face: "The old slave is stupid by nature, how can he compare with His Royal Highness King Wu?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to pick a few little chamberlains to teach them." Li Chengqian knew that he was modest, although the old ghost was not as awesome as the eunuchs in the TV series in later generations, he was definitely a very smart person.

Hearing this, the old ghost said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm afraid it's not easy to handle His Royal Highness the Prince, there are few literate little chamberlains in the East Palace." ”

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Then let's find it first." ”

"Hey!"

The two of them walked and talked slowly, and walked slowly to the Dan Majesty in front of the Lizheng Palace, and the temperature in spring was very pleasant, and they walked slowly outside.

Li Chengqian now sits all day long, so he will come out for a walk when he has time, but he does not go far either to walk on the Dan Majesty in front of the Chongjiao Hall or on the Dan Majesty in front of the Lizheng Palace.

Li Chengqian was walking on His Majesty Dan when he saw Zhang Shiheng hurrying over with a stack of documents in the distance.

Recently, Zhang Shiheng has been in charge of sorting out the books of Chongxian Hall and Hongwen Hall, so as to recruit literary scholars to start repairing books, and it stands to reason that he should have nothing to do.

Li Chengqian thought in his heart and stopped waiting for him, Zhang Shiheng walked up to His Majesty and saw Li Chengqian looking at him, hurriedly walked up to him Li Chengqian and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Mr. Zhang, what's the important thing for you to come to see me at this time?" Li Chengqian asked directly.

Zhang Shiheng was embarrassed when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send this. As he spoke, he handed a stack of papers in his hand to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took a look at the light of dusk and saw that the paper was full of "literary scholars" recommended by various families to the Chongxian Pavilion to repair books, and there were notes written by Li Shimin, asking Zhang Shiheng to arrange for these people to go to the Chongxian Pavilion to repair books.

Li Shimin must also know that Zhang Shiheng can't be the master, Li Chengqian has long said that he will pass the strict assessment when he comes to the East Palace to repair books, and now that Li Shimin has taken this, he doesn't take Li Chengqian seriously at all.

Li Chengqian thought of this, his hand gradually strengthened, and the stack of paper was pinched and deformed, and he didn't feel it.

It's not that Li Chengqian is sensitive, but since Li Tai died, Li Shimin's attitude towards him has changed a lot, and he doesn't even talk about the least fairness, and the punishment of the eldest grandson Wuji and Xiao Yu has not been approved for several days.

Li Chengqian asked Yang Shidao to neglect several things that were also left in by Li Shimin, and when Xue Dading came to Chang'an City, he did not receive him, and he did not make arrangements.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and decided that this time he would also give Li Shimin a nail.

"Mr. Zhang, a few years ago, I ordered the Tang Dynasty to summon literary scholars to come to Chang'an to participate in the East Palace Book Repair Examination, and now there are literary scholars from all over Chang'an City?"

Li Chengqian asked lightly, turned around and walked towards the Lizheng Palace, the setting sun shone from his side, enveloping the other half of his face in the shadow.

Zhang Shiheng could only see Li Chengqian's half-bright and half-black face from the side, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear Li Chengqian's displeasure only from his voice, and hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, since the New Year, nearly 2,000 literary scholars have entered Chang'an City, ready to participate in the assessment of the East Palace. ”

Li Chengqian stood still when he heard this, looked back at Zhang Shiheng, and said unhappily: "Since everyone is here, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhang Shiheng heard Li Chengqian's dissatisfaction and hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "It's the minister's negligence, the minister sees that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been too busy recently, and he thinks that Lu Yuan has not yet come, so he didn't report to His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to surrender his guilt." ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian knew that Zhang Shiheng was insensitive to political disputes, so he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it! So are the people who are far away coming now? For example, those people from those families in Jiangnan. Li Chengqian said and continued to walk forward.

Hearing this, Zhang Shiheng hurriedly straightened up and said: "There are some people from Jiangnan and Southeast who have come, and according to the knowledge of the minister's students, there are now more than 2,000 people in Chang'an City alone who have come to repair books for the East Palace. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he casually found a chair and sat down and asked, "How did Mr. Zhang's students know that these people are coming to Chang'an City?"

Li Chengqian secretly thought: Zhang Shiheng's students are all on duty in Chongxian Hall during the day, if some of them are their relatives and friends, they will know when they come to Chang'an.

But two or three thousand people came to Chang'an City from all over the Tang Dynasty, how did they know, could they be intelligence masters?

He is about to form an intelligence unit, if there is such a talent......

Li Chengqian was thinking about it, but Zhang Shiheng broke Li Chengqian's dream with one sentence.

I only heard Zhang Shiheng say with some embarrassment: "They often go to Pingkangfang, so they know some news." ”

"There is news from Pingkangfang...... Li Chengqian remembered halfway through his speech, Pingkangfang is the red light district of Chang'an City, and there must be a lot of foreign talents going there.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shake my head, I have been too bitter, I haven't been to Pingkangfang for so long when I have traveled to Datang, thinking of this adds a layer of anger to Li Shimin, Lao Tzu has become like this, you still make trouble for Lao Tzu.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian threw the crumpled stack of recommendation books in his hand into the old ghost's arms and said: "Return all these things, tell them that the East Palace Chongxian Pavilion will open an examination and call people after three days of book repair, and let the people they recommend go directly to any city gate tomorrow to register." ”

"Sign up at the city gate?" The old ghost didn't know what Li Chengqian planned to do.

"Yes, sign up at the city gates.

Tomorrow, let the scribe of the East Palace go out with the table, and arrange two people at the inner and outer gates of Chang'an City, and arrange two people at each city gate to accept talent newspapers from all over the Tang Dynasty to participate in the recruitment examination of Chongxian Hall. After Li Chengqian finished speaking in one breath, the old ghost and Zhang Shiheng were stunned when they heard it.

After a while, Zhang Shiheng reacted and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should discuss this matter with His Majesty!" ”

"No, this lone king has done the master."

Zhang Shiheng knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he sighed silently and withdrew from the Lizheng Palace.

Zhang Shiheng thought as he walked: In the face of Li Chengqian's slap in the face, Li Shimin will definitely react.

Although Li Shimin bypassed Li Chengqian and arranged for people to enter the Chongxian Pavilion, he was the king and did not say that he would not tell Li Chengqian.

Now Li Chengqian not only openly returned all the recommended people without any reason, but also made an open assessment.

Isn't this telling the world that Li Shimin is unfair, and only Li Chengqian is fair?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shiheng was worried about Li Chengqian's future.

The recent update is very slow, and the plot just rushed to a foreshadowing link, so it may not be particularly cool to watch, but with the gradual prominence of the contradictions in the later plots, there will definitely be all kinds of slaps and conflicts.
