Chapter Eighty-Three: The Conspiracy Between Monarchs and Ministers

"Isn't this Ruri?" In Qin Yuyan's room, Xiangcheng was holding a diamond, looking at it repeatedly, and finally said with a little disappointment. The implication is that Zhao Chen is too fussful.

On this cold day, the husband and wife tossed a lot in the morning, and at this time she was sleeping soundly when she returned to the cage, and was pulled up by Qin Yuyan, saying that her husband had a great treasure, waiting to show them, she also thought that there was really any treasure, but she didn't expect that it was the glass that had long been commonplace in the Tang Dynasty, which really disappointed her.

"It's just a fool like you who would say such a thing!" Zhao Chen was about to be laughed at by Xiangcheng, and when he heard Xiangcheng's obvious disappointment, he had to shake his head helplessly, took the diamond from Xiangcheng's hand, and said to the three women in the room: "Remember, the real name of this thing is called diamond, and a small one is priceless!" ”

"How is that possible." Almost a conditioned reflex, Zhao Chen just said the priceless words, and the diamond in his hand had miraculously returned to Xiangcheng's hand, and his mouth was still half-convinced, but that expression had already explained everything, and the diamond didn't want to come back.

"However, there are no people who know this thing now, and I don't plan to publicize it!" In fact, when he got the diamond from the study, Zhao Chen had already made a plan, and he was not ready to speculate on the value of the diamond, this thing was too rare, he had seen the information about the blood diamond in later generations, so he was unwilling to be the initiator!

He is not short of money now, and he will not barely earn unnecessary money, not to mention that it smells of blood, some things are actually the best for future generations to excavate, so Zhao Chen's plan is that only his family knows about diamonds, and he will accept all the money he brings to the future, and it will be regarded as an inheritance for his children and grandchildren!

brought the porcelain, in front of the three women, without distress with the diamond on the scratch made a cut on it, and then, the three women looked at the place where the diamond was cut, and when the whole crack was opened, they were surprised as if something, in Zhao Chen's proud laughter, a small bag of diamonds was instantly divided by the three of them.

“。。 Husband! Ji Ning'er reacted slowly, and when she reacted, the large diamonds had already entered Qin Yuyan and Xiangcheng's pockets, and all she got was some pea-sized fine diamonds, and suddenly, she looked at Zhao Chen with an aggrieved face, and shouted pitifully.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Chen smiled proudly and comforted Ji Ning'er: "This is just the beginning, maybe there will be bigger guys in the future, everyone will have a share, but the premise is to keep it secret!" ”

"Hmm!" Regarding Zhao Chen's secret matter, the attitudes of the three women were surprisingly consistent, and their expressions almost swore on the spot.

"Okay, Your Majesty is still waiting for me at this time, so I won't rub in with you here." was very satisfied with the attitude of the three women, and then, Zhao Chen stood up, stretched his waist long, and said to the three women.

As Zhao Chen said, Li Er was really waiting for him, there was only Li Er in the hall, seeing Zhao Chen enter, Li Er raised his finger and pointed to the chair by the stove, signaling Zhao Chen to sit down, and when Zhao Chen sat down for a short time, Li Er put down the music in his hand, strolled behind Zhao Chen, looked at the back of Zhao Chen's head, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Well, it's a fluke, I didn't hurt my head!" ”

"It's all the unintentional seniors who came in time, plus the little girl next to Weichen, desperately blocked a knife, and Weichen was lucky to escape!" The person who originally sat down, seeing Li Er coming, had no choice but to stand up again, talking, and waited until Li Er sat down opposite him, and then sat down again.

"I've heard about it, that little girl is good!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Er immediately nodded in agreement, praised a word of wheat, his eyes suddenly flickered, looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "In your opinion, what do the Goguryeo people want to do?" ”

"Weichen doesn't understand what His Majesty means!" The purpose of the assassins sent to Chang'an by Goguryeo this time is already obvious, that is, the military academy and him Zhao Chen, if they can destroy the military academy, if they can't destroy the military academy, then they will destroy him Zhao Chen, but now, Li Er's question made him a little confused.

"In the past few days, I have been thinking, if he Gao Jianwu dares to send assassins to Chang'an, he is not afraid that after the defeat, I will be angry and send troops to Goguryeo?" Ignoring Zhao Chen's question, Li Er sat there by himself, frowning slightly, looking at Zhao Chen and asking suspiciously.

"It doesn't have to be sent by Gao Jianwu!" Zhao Chen thinks that he knows history quite well, and knows that Gao Jianwu in history belongs to that kind of person, who can send assassins to Chang'an, and do this kind of thing in Goguryeo, probably Yuangai Suwen, but even if the assassin is sent by Yuangai Suwen, in Zhao Chen's opinion, it is extremely stupid.

"I also think that Gao Jianwu doesn't have that guts!" A flash of contempt flashed in Li Er's eyes, obviously, he also agreed with Zhao Chen's opinion, and as he spoke, he groaned slightly, and said: "In this way, it is the Gai Suwen who doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”

“。。 What does Your Majesty plan to do? Zhao Chen didn't care, in the end, the mastermind behind the scenes was Gao Jianwu or Yuangai Suwen, whether it was Gao Jianwu or Yuangai Suwen, it was always Goguryeo, so there was only one thing he cared about, and that was how Li Er planned to deal with this matter.

"What about you?" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Er's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Chen, and he paused slightly, as if he was testing Zhao Chen, looked at Zhao Chen and asked.

"Fight back, of course!" Li Er's gaze looked at Zhao Chen a little uncomfortable, and when he heard Li Er's opinion on him, Zhao Chen didn't know what to think, so he blurted out: "Whether it's Gao Jianwu or that Gai Suwen, they are all Goguryeo people anyway, since they dare to send assassins, they should bear the wrath of Your Majesty!" ”

"—huh!" Hearing Zhao Chen's decisive words, Li Er suddenly smiled noncommittally, and then, gently patting his leg with his hand, he said a little melancholy: "Now that the northern part of the desert is flat, the situation in the entire Western Regions is still unclear, in such a situation, how can I easily start a war again!" ”

"Then you can't just let Goguryeo goguryeo go!" What Li Er said, Zhao Chen naturally understood, and he also knew that this was not the best time for the Eastern Crusade, but if it was really so easy to let go of Goguryeo, Zhao Chen couldn't say anything in his heart, so he said with an obviously unwilling expression.

"Of course not!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Erdang vetoed it with a decisive veto: "I have already ordered the head of the Goguryeo envoy to be cut off, and in a few days, I will send someone to send the head to Gao Jianwu!" ”

The voice fell, and before Zhao Chen could speak, Li Er suddenly stood up, led Zhao Chen to a map of the main hall, and pointed his finger the place above Goguryeo, and said: "I can't free my hands now, once I free my hands, at most three years, at least one year, my army will definitely break through Pyongyang!" ”

Li Er's words were quite domineering, and there was even a sense of mission in his tone, thinking about Li Er in the textbooks of later generations, it was also when the situation in the entire Western Regions was unclear, so he couldn't wait to lead the army to the east, but unfortunately, that time the Eastern Crusade was also the same as Emperor Yang, defeated under the long army line and the grain and grass crisis!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen suddenly frowned, and said in a serious tone: "Since Your Majesty is bound to Goguryeo, then you have to plan early!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Er immediately nodded in agreement, turned around, looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Speaking of which, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you are the only one who knows Goguryeo better, so your participation in this Eastern Crusade is indispensable!" ”

"What does Your Majesty want Weichen to do?" I had already guessed that the matter of the Eastern Crusade could not be avoided by myself, and Zhao Chen did not intend to avoid it from the bottom of his heart, so after hearing Li Er's words, he did not hesitate, looked at Li Er and asked.

"Water army, grain and grass!" Standing there with his hands on his back, staring at Goguryeo on the map, almost without thinking, he said to Zhao Chen: "I want you to prepare the grain and grass as soon as possible from now on, and at that time, when the army arrives in Liaodong, I will only look for you for the grain and grass, and I may be able to do it?" ”

“。。 But I don't know how much grain and grass your majesty needs Weichen to prepare? "Attacking Goguryeo, Zhao Chen thought that he could do the matter of grain and grass, and now, the entire Lingnan was managed by him into a rich land, plus the newly developed Jianghuai Valley, it was more than enough to deal with the war in Liaodong. However, military affairs are by no means child's play, for the sake of safety, Zhao Chen still looked at Li Er and asked.

"—150,000!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Er just frowned slightly, then took a deep breath and said without thinking.

The 150,000 army, with the current combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty, the 150,000 army will go to Liaodong, what will be the outcome, Zhao Chen seems to have seen it, I'm afraid, the day when the 150,000 army reaches Liaodong will be the final stop of Goguryeo!

"By the way, when is Your Majesty going to send an envoy to Goguryeo?" was already about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, suddenly turned to look at Li Er and asked.

“。。 That's it! Li Er was also a god, just after Zhao Chen suddenly turned around and seemed to ask an inexplicable word, Li Er's eyebrows were raised for no reason, and he looked at Zhao Chen with a very expectant gaze and said.

"Oh!" Hearing Li Er's words, Zhao Chen suddenly scratched his chin, sighed thoughtfully, and said: "Wei Chen thinks, if Your Majesty just cut off the head of a messenger, it will inevitably be a little calm!" ”

"What about you?" Li Er's curiosity was completely hooked by Zhao Chen, his body raised back slightly, his eyes looked at Zhao Chen, and he asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Weichen heard that Nayuan Gai Suwen actually has a heart of disobedience for a long time!" Being stared at by Li Er's gaze, Zhao Chen was a little uncomfortable, but he still said: "It's the so-called coming without being rude, let's give him a fortune!" ”

In the empty hall, Li Er listened to Zhao Chen's words at first, and his face was very ugly, but when he came later, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's all for the Tang Dynasty, just do what you want!" ”

Zhao Chen was almost choked to death by Li Er's words, obviously looking happy in his heart, but he preferred to pretend to be dignified, but, as Li Er just said, it was all for the Tang Dynasty, so Zhao Chen naturally ignored Li Er's expression.
