Chapter 345: Plan Ahead

Wei Renshi's words actually have two purposes.

The first is to give Li Shi a wake-up call. Let him not treat the spy as his personal eagle dog and leave the law behind.

The second is that Wei Ren is really avoiding suspicion. Since Li Shi was already ready to investigate this matter thoroughly, he wanted to punish those prison soldiers in the Shence Army. Then Wei Renshi will get out as soon as possible and gradually clear up the relationship, and this matter will gradually be handed over from Wei Renshi's hands.

What Wei Renshi wants is the result of cutting off Ju Wenzhen's wings, and this result seems to be in no doubt at the moment.

As long as this goal is achieved, then as for how to deal with these people, then Wei Renshi doesn't care.

After leaving the palace and returning home, Wei Renshi went into the study, listed all the details he could think of, and then carefully sorted out and wrote the charter.

A rainstorm in the middle of the night did not disturb Wei Renshi's thoughts. In the sound of the rain, my mind is more sober, and my thoughts are flying.

It rained three nights last night, and it was cold for another day.

One stormy night, the lightning and thunder did not stop until early in the morning. The raindrops descended from the corners of the eaves, reflecting the sun's brilliance, streaking a bright trail in the air, and then falling into the stagnant water on the bluestone slabs.

The good news keeps coming back, and the Champa rice harvests in all pilot projects have been harvested, especially in Lingnan. In just half a year, two crops have been harvested, and the third season has been planted. The good news not only reached the ears of the ministers of the imperial court, but also appeared in Wei Renshi's newspaper.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see, in recent times, the newspapers have all the knowledge about Champa rice, from its planting history, to the exquisite habits of the production area, to how different methods should be used to plant in different places in my Datang territory, as well as the results of these pilot trials. If this newspaper is published all over the world, then there are already many people in the world who know about this miraculous rice seed and want to try it. Even illiterate peasants will have readers who care about the peasants to tell them. In this way, when it is rolled out, there will be much less resistance. Even before the imperial court promoted it, some discerning people had already taken the initiative to plant it because they learned the news from the newspaper. After they plant, they can naturally see the benefits, and they can also let the people around them see the benefits, which will lead more people. Wei Renshi said to Li Yu, who was reading the new issue of the newspaper.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the longer I read it, the more I feel that this newspaper is really useful, whether it is a farmer or a businessman, you can get help from this newspaper." ”

"If the trial of this rice seed is successful, Your Majesty will set up another pilot project. Wei Xianzi's reward for this merit is probably coming soon. Li Yu smiled again.

"This minister didn't think about it." Wei Renshi smiled.

Regarding the matter of the Shence Army, Wei Renshi thought about it, and decided not to tell Li Yu.

The Shence Army is about to suffer from Li Shi's Great Purge, and according to those crimes, after the Great Purge, nearly eighty or ninety percent of the prison troops in the Shence Army, as well as those lieutenants of the Guardian Army, will be eliminated.

Once this happens, a large number of positions will be vacated in the Divine Army.

And Li Yu will definitely take this opportunity to insert his own people inside.

And the most trusted people around Li Yu now are none other than Wang Shuwen, Wang Ling and Wei Zhiyi.

So as Li Yu planted his own people in the Shence army, it must be when Wang Shuwen wantonly planted his own people in the Shence army.

Although, historically, those people who are Li Yixinzhong are actually barely okay. Whether it was for his own fame and fortune, or for something else, he finally made some things and reforms that were beneficial to the people.

In history, Wang Shuwen was overthrown by Ju Wenzhen and Li Chun and Fan Zhen. That is to say, it was overthrown by the forces of the Shence Army controlled by Ju Wenzhen, the forces of the ministers of the DPRK and China represented by Li Chun, and the forces of the feudal towns represented by Wei Gao and others.

At present, Li Shi is ready to start a purge of the Shence Army, once the purge is completed, most of the eunuch supervisors and lieutenants in the Shence Army will be eliminated, and Ju Wenzhen's control over the Shence Army is greatly weakened, and he can hardly control the Shence Army anymore. Then this one force will dissipate. If Li Yu is now at the mercy of Wang Shuwen's recommendation, then the Shence Army will become Wang Shuwen's force again.

This will not be conducive to future times.

Li Yu suffered a stroke and couldn't move, and history was just this year. After that, Li Shi's health also deteriorated rapidly, and he was going castrated after the New Year.

At that time, if the original trajectory of history was followed, then after eight months, Wang Shuwen would naturally be strangled by the ministers of the DPRK and the central government who advocated Li Chun's supervision of the country, and the joint strangulation of Ju Wenzhen, who counterattacked Wang Shuwen, and those feudal towns.

But now, with the purge of the Shence Army, once Ju Wenzhen's power fades, the vacant positions in the Shence Army are like the large and small branches of the trunk, which is the key to controlling the Shence Army. But it was infiltrated by Wang Shuwen's forces and became these branches, and the Shence Army was controlled by Wang Shuwen again.

Then Wang Shuwen, who has the power of the Shence Army, may not be able to be strangled by the ministers of the DPRK and the feudal towns.

In this way, Li Chun will not be so easy to ascend.

And Wei Renshi's bet was on Li Chun.

This is what Wei Renshi was worried about before.

If you postpone it for a while and wait for Ju Wenzhen to defeat Wang Shuwen before purging the Shence Army, then with the help of Li Chun, who has just been supported by Ju Wenzhen to ascend the throne, he may not be able to bring down Ju Wenzhen. Maybe he will force Ju Wenzhen to rebel.

But if it is like what has happened now, he took advantage of Li Shi's still coming to overthrow Ju Wenzhen's forces and purge the Shence Army in advance, but it was easy for Wang Shuwen to take advantage of the loophole, and took the opportunity of Li Yu to control the Shence Army to infiltrate his own forces into the Shence Army.

Therefore, Wei Renshi is not ready to tell Li Yu about this matter at the moment. The sooner he knew, the easier it would be for Wang Shuwen to arrange for his forces to infiltrate the Shence army.

Anyway, now that Li Shi is still in secrecy, Wei Renshi naturally has enough reasons not to tell Li Yu in advance.

But Li Chun should reveal some rumors.

If Li Chun could take this opportunity to infiltrate his men into the Shence Army and replace those eunuch supervisors and lieutenants of the eunuch protector army, it would be equivalent to Li Chun controlling the Shence army.

When Li Yu was paralyzed in bed, the courtiers were dissatisfied with Wang Shuwen's arbitrariness, so they all wrote to request that Li Chun be appointed as the crown prince and the prince be in charge of the country. Because of the dissatisfaction with Wang Shuwen's destruction of their interests, the feudal town reached a tacit agreement with the courtiers on this issue, and also wrote to request that Li Chun be appointed as the crown prince and ask Li Chun to supervise the country.

If the Shence Army was controlled by Wang Shuwen at this time, the result may not be known. But if the Shence Army is controlled by Li Chun, then it will be the same as in history, and the three forces will unite to bring down Wang Shuwen.

The difference is just that the person who controls the Shence Army has changed from Ju Wenzhen to Li Chun himself.

And Li Chun, who was supported by the courtiers and controlled the Shence Army, was exactly what Wei Renshi was willing to see.

So as soon as he came out of the East Palace, Wei Renshi went straight to the right Jin Wuwei.

This matter is a good plan for a rainy day.
