Yan Eighteen summarized in detail the recent conversations of Li Chen. There are more than 3,800 remarks about Liu Heng's ascension to the throne, more than 4,000 remarks about the death of Lu Pheasant and the rebellion of the kings of the Lu family, a total of 6,400 remarks about the law of the imperial court, and the rest talk about miscellaneous matters in the market and a number of neighborhood gossip.

Regarding Liu Heng's discussion record, Yan 18 subdivided it again, agreeing that Liu Heng's succession is in accordance with the legal system and in line with the convention, a total of more than 1,000 articles, for Liu Heng's succession, put forward some ideas, a total of more than 1,500 remarks, involving this case, a total of more than 1,200 articles, among them, talking about this matter for the princes, ministers, scholars, a total of more than 300 articles, a total of more than 40 people, all of whom have Shu Yue according to the portrait of the face.

Yan 18 handed over the summarized speech record to Li Guang, and after Li Guang read it, he still didn't find any useful clues, so he had to ask Yan 18 to take people to check the details of the more than 40 people who were born first, and be sure to find out the origin and source of the rumors.

After Yan Eighteen left, Li Guang called Yan Er alone and asked Yan Er to find the portraits of more than 40 people to find the palace painters, rub them one by one, and immediately go to Jinan County, Handan and other places to carefully verify them.

After the cavalry guards were ordered to leave, Li Guang carefully flipped through Li Chen's records, Li Guang did not have Yan Eighteen's patience, and classified them all, but read them one by one.

Most of the princes and scholars in Li Chen's records are recorded in historical materials and are easy to discharge. But there was one person, Li Guang racked his brains, and he didn't remember who this person was.

Wang Ji, such an unfamiliar name, Li Chen recorded it among the regular customers, when he was a person who had lived in Chang'an for a long time, and the same table was a prince and a prince, presumably Wang Ji's identity was not simple, but Li Chen's record did not have a knighthood and official position. Li Guang was suspicious of Wang Ji, not only because Wang Ji had never heard of it, but also because in Li Chen's records, the people who drank at the same table with Wang Ji were all opposed to Liu Heng's succession, and only Wang Ji supported it.

"Li Chen, you go and get all the records of Wang Ji's past."

Li Chen brought two years of conversation records in a row, and Li Guang did not let go of the slightest, and excerpted the words of the people Wang Ji had seen drinking together at the Xi'an Hotel in the past two years.

Wang Ji, the only son of Prime Minister Wang Ling, died last year, without the will of the imperial court, and has not yet inherited the title of Wang Ling, and is still at home. According to Li Guang's classification, the people Wang Ling asks on weekdays are all second-generation officials. is a son-in-law who doesn't learn anything. But just a few years ago, Wang Ji threatened to go to Jinan County to study at the banquet, and after half a year, there was no record of Wang Ji, and it was not until two months before Liu Heng succeeded to the throne that Wang Ji appeared in the wine shop again.

"It seems that I have to communicate with Wang Ji well." Li Guang had no clue at the moment, so he had to start with Wang Ji first.

In Chen Ping's mansion, Li Guang was waiting for Chen Ping in front of the Xiang's mansion. Chen Ping, on the other hand, was in the inner house, flipping through some of Li Guang's relevant records, and was considering whether to meet Li Guang. Li Guang waited for Chen Pingjian, and carefully took a large number of ministers' mansions, the same hall and two inside, at this moment Li Guang is in front of the hall, but on both sides of the back of the hall, there are two wall shadows, blocking the view, but it can be seen that when he enters the servants, he walks around for half a day, and he does not see more than 100 faces, and it is estimated that there are no more than 100 people.

According to this calculation, there are more than 50 Chen Ping's inner houses, to say the least. The hall was poorly furnished, with the main seat in the middle, and a low table about eight feet long, two feet wide, and two feet high. There are four guest tables on each side, and the furniture is two feet shorter than the main table. There are ten goose-foot lamps in the hall, one on each side of the main seat, and the rest are placed behind the guest table. The four walls are separated by wooden windows with white gauze, and the entire ground is paved with blue-black stones, which is designed as a pavilion at the main seat, about one foot high, bringing people a depressing, dull feeling.

Li Guangzheng looked carefully, Chen Ping came, Li Guang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and when he saw Chen Ping slightly bowed, Li Guang stood up straight.

After the guest and host sat down, the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion offered green tea, but it was a common immortal, but the bud shape was straight, the tea soup was clear, and the lid of the bowl was lifted, and the fragrance of tea suddenly came to the nose. Li Guang couldn't help but think about whether he should go to the palace more often in the future, so as to ask for good tea from Liu Heng.

"Li Bingcao, please drink tea."

"Prime Minister, please."

"You don't need to be polite, I have been friends with your father Li Shang, and I have always admired Li Taishou's bravery, and in private, it is not inappropriate to call me Uncle Chen."

"Although the prime minister is not good at swordsmen, he has millions of male soldiers in his chest, how dare the younger generation rashly be courteous and lose his dignity."

"Oh? There are millions of male soldiers in the chest, and what is said is just right, but it is used in the old decay to say some words, what is the allusion to this, I have never heard of it? ”

"This, this sentence was made up by the juniors, which made the prime minister smile." Li Guang thought to himself, this Chen Ping is worthy of being a Confucian in the area of the rich and rich, and he flattered Tang Geng's poems, and he immediately discovered it, and he must be cautious when he speaks.

"It is said that the little general Li Guangshan is good at riding and shooting, and he has a lot of scheming, but he never thought that he would be so elegant, but he is ashamed of the old man, and he looks down on the little general."

"Don't dare, the prime minister's academics are a model for scholars, how dare Li Guang live in front of the prime minister with elegance."

The words are beautiful, the witty words are repeated, Li Shang is known for his bravery, and he has a son who can be called a Confucian general. Good, good, good. ”

Chen Ping and Li Guang only talked about other things, but they didn't ask Li Guang's intentions, so Li Guang had to deal with them carefully and secretly observe Chen Ping's thoughts.

"I've always heard that the little general's management of the army is very different, and Mrs. Zhou often mentions it, but I want to ask, where does the little general's strategy for governing the army come from, is it also made up at random?" Chen Ping smiled kindly, but the sharp question was already Chen Ping's erudition, if Li Guang responded to the answer casually, Chen Ping would see the clue. Li Guang saw that Chen Ping had this question, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, thought about it for a while, and answered slowly.

"The younger generation grew up in the border pass since he was a child, and he understands that the Hu people are strong and strong, and the number of war horses is large, and the directors of our Han army are all in iron, and they are the best in the world with the combat power of the heavy crossbow battalion and the yellow bow battalion, but the number is too small. The two armies met, between the battlefield, our army lost the advantage of long-range attack, there were many losses, all because of the weakness of the infantry, and the Hu people war horses collided with a lot of losses, yes, during the military exercise of the younger generation, had tried to protect the soldiers and horses with full armor, the battlefield rushed and killed, and the power was amazing, taking into account the power of the long-range attack and the near-charge. ”

"Well, in this way, your strategy for governing the army is all explored in daily battles, and you are also a handsome talent who is good at innovation."

"The prime minister has an overreputation, and the younger generation really doesn't dare to be it."

"It is rumored in the army that your Yanyun eighteen horsemen can be defeated by ten thousand troops, but is there such a thing?"

"The combat power of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry is better than that of ordinary soldiers, but if it is used between the two armies, it is inappropriate, the two armies are killed with a courage and perseverance, relying on the stability of the army's heart and the promotion of morale. Therefore, whenever the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry was in battle, Gu Du could only play the task of spying on the prisoners, and did not dare to use it in the confrontation between the two armies. ”

"Worthy of Captain Zhou's praise, the little general is really a person who is good at using soldiers, and he can be the commander of the three armies."

After some questions and answers, Chen Ping confirmed to Li Guang, but Li Guang was sweating in the cold weather. Chen Ping asked Li Guang about his intentions. Li Guang told Chen Ping about his speculation about Wang Ji.

Wang Ling is arrogant, but does not lose the talent of governing the world, but is not good at teaching children, Wang Ji is the only son of Wang Ling, but it is a pity that Wang Ling is pedantic, but Wang Ji does not learn no skills, day by day in the market, although the bad deeds are bad, but there is no big fault, he is frivolous. It's just that Wang Ling had a very good personal relationship with King Qi during his lifetime, and it is the only way to start from here. It's just that you still need to pay attention to King Langya, although this person has no big strategy, but King Langya has lost a lot in this game. The matter of inspecting and handling cases is not specialized, and everything must be secretly collected by the little general. ”

"Thank you for the Prime Minister's teachings, the last general is on duty, and I don't dare to stay for a long time, so I will resign." Li Guang understood Chen Ping's judgment, and was more sure of the direction of the rumor case, staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion was like roasting on a charcoal fire, and when the purpose of this trip was achieved, he was unwilling to stay for a while.

"Say hello to your father for me, this case is very important, and it is necessary to carefully verify and scrutinize it many times, but if you have any doubts, you can come to my house to discuss it at any time."

Leaving the Chen Mansion, Li Guang went straight to Weiyang Palace. There are still many doubts in this matter, Li Guang wants to personally confirm with Liu Heng, and by the way, let Liu Heng issue a secret decree, let Wei Wei fully cooperate, and also grasp all the Wei Wei's hands, Chang'an City entry and exit records.
