Yu Ren is indeed a manufacturable material, just a cover-up, Yu Ren learned the whole process of collecting protection money, and those who didn't know it really thought that he was the king of Qi.

Li Yuanji personally pressed the formation, and Yu Ren kicked the door of three down-and-out nobles in a row, and it took less than half an hour to walk out with four pieces of money in his arms.

It's astoundingly efficient.

Even Yu Ren himself began to get really excited, and for the first time, he felt that this method was really suitable for him, and it was far easier to collect protection money from these wealthy families than to collect protection money from ordinary people, and he collected more.

Of course, the protection fee of the wealthy is not the same, according to the different circumstances of each family, different levels of collection are listed, the big ones charge more than the small ones, and the rich ones collect more than the ones who don't, this seemingly unfair way is actually the fairest.

"This king still has something to do, Song Zhong, you have been in charge of the house in the city overnight, and strive to put it into use as soon as possible. Yu Ren, you continue to collect protection money, don't force it if you don't give it, just let people splash feces at night, if there are other ways to disgust people, you can use it. Li Yuanji instructed Song Zhong and Yu Ren.

Yu Ren has thoroughly understood the essence of actor skills, and Li Yuanji feels that he is now qualified for this role.

Although Song Zhong was in charge of ordinary people and merchants, he was more tricky than Yu Ren's side and needed longer to operate.

But this is not the most important thing, Li Yuanji saw an old acquaintance and needed to take a note.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the slave and maid will complete the task as soon as possible and will never disappoint Your Highness's expectations." Yu Ren patted his chest excitedly, no way, he was so confident.

Both of them have Qi King tokens, so the curfew in Chang'an City is a fart for them, and Mao is useless.

After turning around, Li Yuanji entered a small alley, a small courtyard, the courtyard door was hidden, and through the gap, you could see the situation in the courtyard.

The figure that made Li Yuanji feel familiar was facing the courtyard gate at the moment, which happened to allow Li Yuanji to see each other through the gap.

Li Yuanji hesitated slightly, he didn't know why he came over in a daze, and even reasoned told him that he shouldn't come.

But the matter has come to this, Li Yuanji is thinking about leaving, I am afraid that it will not be so easy, or rather, it will bring him greater hidden dangers.

Pushing open the courtyard door, he looked at the extremely familiar figure, burly and powerful, with a decadent face, obviously dressed up like this on purpose.

Li Yuanji also felt even more helpless in his heart, once a powerful general under Li Jiancheng, there was no doubt about his loyalty.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, it was he who led the guards of the East Palace to defend the East Palace, and even almost counterattacked the Qin Palace, but with Li Jiancheng's head being taken out, and Li Yuanji was nowhere to be found, all these efforts became futile.

He fled, the family of the prince of the East Palace failed to escape, and his five sons did not escape, and he disappeared without a trace.

But Li Yuanji knows very well that later in history, he took refuge in Li Shimin and became a member of Li Shimin's right-hand man, but it was just a helpless move, and now he can find himself, at least it proves that he did not completely fall to Li Shimin.

But when he thinks of his future position, what does it matter who he falls towards?

"General Xue is okay?" After all, Li Yuanji was the first to speak.

"Your Highness did it on purpose?" Xue Wanche's eyes were red, his hands were clenched into fists tightly, and he was full of unwillingness.

The prince has the grace of knowing him, and trusts him in every way, Xue Wanche is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, otherwise he would not stand up at a critical moment and turn the tide.

Helplessly, the general trend has gone, and it is not something that Xue Wanche can solve.

But he still did not give up completely, with some henchmen who were still loyal to the prince, he hid in Chang'an City, secretly investigated everywhere, and planned to do his last loyalty for the prince.

However, what Xue Wanche didn't expect was that he accidentally heard another news that made him angry, so he met Li Yuanji today.

Li Yuanji naturally knew what Xue Wanche was referring to, he didn't want to deny it, he didn't want to admit it, so he sighed helplessly and said, "Who would gamble with their own lives?" This king originally thought that the second brother only wanted the position of the crown prince, and he would definitely not kill each other, and at that time, this king only heard about it and did not have the exact evidence, so how to remind the eldest brother? ”

Li Yuanji still came up with the same set of words to deal with Li Shimin, but added some changes.

"I heard that if His Royal Highness had informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day, he would not have ended up in the current situation." Xue Wanche was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"Some things are not as simple as you think, do you know that my father wanted to change the second brother to the crown prince a few years ago?" Li Yuanji continued to release fierce information, but this fierce information was made up by himself, or inferred.

Li Yuan promised to appoint Li Shimin as the crown prince several times, but he regretted it afterwards for various reasons.

This is not the cold record in the history books, but the real existence in Li Yuanji's memory.

As for Li Yuan's fall to Li Jiancheng after the Xuanwu Gate, according to Li Yuanji's guess, it may be that he is acting to preserve his majesty, or it is possible that he did not expect such a result, after Li Jiancheng's death, he really got angry, so he completely fell to Li Jiancheng's side, but it was too late.

"This ......" Xue Wanche was slightly stunned, he didn't know anything about the inside story of the palace, and he didn't have a chance to contact it.

But what Li Yuanji said should be true, because no one knows this matter better than him.

However, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is not the most suitable candidate for Datang, but he is the most suitable candidate for Xue Wanche.

The crown prince is dead, Li Shimin is about to ascend the throne, and Xue Wanche has no way out.

"I wonder if His Highness's ambition is still there?" Putting aside Li Jiancheng for the time being, Xue Wanche asked sincerely, but his eyes were staring at Li Yuanji, refusing to miss even a small expression and movement.

Xue Wanche's words made Li Yuanji vaguely think of Xue Wanche's future.

Li Shimin sent several edicts to make Xue Wanche come back to worship the general, and the two years of Zhenguan Ping Turkic, the battle of Xue Yantuo, and the later battle of Goguryeo were completed by Xue Wanche, not only that, Xue Wanche also married his sister Princess Danyang, but was later killed by the eldest grandson Wuji for participating in the plot to establish Jing King Li Yuanjing as the emperor.

It can also be seen from this incident that Xue Wanche used practical actions to prove what it means to be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, that is, the crown prince Li Jiancheng is gone, and he also wants to subvert Li Shimin's country, so that his descendants cannot become emperors, so as to repay Li Jiancheng.

'Xue Wanche wants this king to continue to seek the throne! Li Yuanji secretly complained bitterly in his heart.

Although it is a crime of killing, Li Yuanji can't blame Xue Wanche, for himself, he is a loyal minister, for Datang, he is a combination of a loyal minister and a traitorous minister, such a person, Li Yuanji really can't afford to be angry.

"Ambition has never waned, it's just a different year!" Li Yuanji responded to Xue Wanche's question with such a poem that was awkward in words.

Although it is not a classic, the meaning is very clear, Xue Wanche is not a literati, but he can read the meaning of Li Yuanji's voice.

It's just that Xue Wanche still misunderstood the meaning of this poem.

"As long as Your Highness doesn't give up!" Xue Wanche's eyes were red, tears poured out instantly, and he nodded emotionally.

Xue Wanche cried! Crying! Crying!

A big man actually cried like this, Li Yuanji was very uncomfortable, and he was a little caught off guard.

Fortunately, Xue Wanche's self-regulation ability is not bad, and after a few breaths, he adjusted his emotions and whispered to the dilapidated house behind him: "Escort people out!" ”
