Li Ke wanted to say that the prince must not be allowed to plant new varieties of grain. However, he felt that he could not say this, for fear www.biquge.info of arousing the disgust of Cen Wenwen. So, he said, "I haven't thought about it yet, so I ask Master for advice." ”

Sure enough, Cen Wenwen said: "Grain planting is related to the well-being of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the imperial court, and we must not make a fuss about this matter."

Your Highness must remember one thing, you must fight, no matter what, you must not shake the foundation of the imperial court. If the court is gone, what will you earn?

I advise Your Highness, you are still young, be patient, and the future will be long. ”

Li Ke was unhappy in his heart, and thought: "You don't agree with me making a fuss about this matter, just teach me a lesson, and you don't have an idea, what is this?" He forcibly held back his unhappiness and said, "What the master taught. Do you have any specific suggestions? ”

Cen Wenwen said: "The minister tells you one thing, the status of the princes in the emperor's heart is not necessarily related to the merits he has made. It's not that the more credit he makes, the more he can gain the emperor's trust. The emperor values his usual self-cultivation, not just his ability to solve problems.

The minister has a plan, didn't you say that you got the news of the planting base? You spread the word. Since this matter is a secret, when the emperor knows that the news has leaked, what will he think?

He must think that the crown prince and others are frivolous and can't keep secrets. If this impression is left in the emperor's heart, no matter how much credit the prince has, what is the use? ”

Li Ke was overjoyed and said sincerely: "The master is worthy of being a master, and the students are convinced." ”

Institute.

Li Su is giving a lesson to the students. Suddenly, the door opened, and Yang Kang came in and said, "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

Li Su was puzzled in his heart: "At this time, it should have just dispersed the dynasty, what is he doing here?" He said to the students, "Review what I just said. After speaking, he followed Yang Kang away.

As soon as I entered the guest room, I saw the crown prince Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Chong.

Li Chengqian's face was full of anxiety, and when he saw Li Su coming in, he stood up and said, "Sixth brother, what's the matter?" Didn't the matter of the planting base in Chang'an County be kept secret again and again, how could everyone know about it? ”

When Li Su heard this, his heart also "chuckled", and he asked, "What news did you hear?" ”

Changsun Chong said: "Now the streets are talking about new varieties of grain, probably only you don't know. ”

The prince's face was full of anxiety, and he said: "My father has repeatedly explained that this matter must be kept strictly confidential, how can this be good?" ”

Li Su quickly analyzed the seriousness of the matter and quickly made a decision. He took a deep breath and smiled, "What did I think was the matter?" What is it? It's okay. ”

Li Chengqian saw Li Suman's indifferent appearance, and his heart calmed down slightly, he sat back in the chair and asked, "Sixth brother, if my father asks, how will he answer?" ”

Li Su said: "It's okay, you just say you don't know." ”

Li Chengqian asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Li Su said: "Okay." Think about it, with such a large planting base and such a long time, it is normal for news to leak. Besides, this is not a military secret, so what can others do if they know about it?

The key issue now is to ensure that there are no accidents at the planting base, and that the wheat harvest is imminent, and that the harvest is on time. As long as the grain can enter the warehouse safely, the emperor will not say anything. ”

Li Chengqian completely calmed down, and he said: "Understood, I will immediately dispatch the Sixth Rate of the East Palace (the general name of the Prince Guard) to strengthen the defense there." ”

Li Su said: "If such a thing happens, it must be that we have leaked information internally, and we must find out the channels for leaking secrets." However, this matter must be investigated secretly, so as not to put everyone in danger. ”

In the afternoon, Huang Qi and Du He, directors of the office of the institute, came back, and they rushed back to report on the grain base.

Huang Qi is old and serious, and he has lived in the base since the wheat began to fill the grain. When he saw Li Su, he said excitedly: "Your Highness, all kinds of vegetables in the base are growing well, especially wheat, tsk, I really can't imagine that with the planting method you taught, and this new seed, wheat can grow like this."

According to old farmers' estimates, there is no problem with quadrupling production. ”

Li Su said: "It's hard work, pay attention to your body." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Huang Qi said gratefully.

Li Su said: "You prepare, the emperor will personally listen to your report." ”

"Huh?" Huang Qi was excited, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to be summoned by the emperor.

Then, Li Su informed them about the leak of the planting base and asked Huang Qi to strengthen the management of the base.

Huang Qi thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Chen is sure that the news did not leak out of the base. The only people who can enter and leave the base are Chen and Du Gongzi, and the people in the base have no chance to contact the outside world. ”

Li Su said: "I believe in your ability, the problem must be on our side." ”

Suddenly, Du He stood up and said, "Okay, you Du Go, I'm not done with you!" ”

Li Su asked curiously, "What's the matter, third brother?" ”

Du He said with a hideous face: "Brother Su, you wait, I'll go back to him to settle the account!" With that, he pulled his legs and left.

Li Su grabbed him and said, "Third brother, what are you anxious about?" Sit down and speak slowly. ”

Du He told Li Su how Du Wei went to visit him and his mother and how to get the news. He said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Su, I've caused trouble for you and the prince." ”

Li Su smiled: "It's okay, this is not a thing, don't take it to heart, just know what's going on." ”

Du He said: "Don't worry, I will go to him to settle accounts, hmph, when it comes to fighting, the three Du Gou are not one!" ”

Li Su smiled: "Spank a fart." If he can yin you, can't you yin him? ”

Huang Qi said: "What the prince said is right. Du Gongzi, you might as well pretend not to know, he can trick you, you can also trick him, and spread false news to him. ”

Du He scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "Well, I understand. ”

In the evening of the same day, outside the city of Chang'an.

Three fast horses galloped along the official road, and immediately there were two men and one woman, all dressed as warriors.

They saw a fork in the road, turned it, galloped forward some way, saw a path, dismounted and walked to a dilapidated gazebo.

In the gazebo, a masked man in black saw them coming, stood up and said, "You are here." ”

The middle-aged man who was the leader of the three samurai asked, "What is your send?" ”

The man in black took out a note and handed it to him. After reading it, the middle-aged man immediately took out the fire fold and set it on fire to burn the note. said, "Don't worry, sir. ”

After speaking, the three of them hugged their fists at the man in black, turned to leave, reached the intersection, got on their horses and galloped away.

The man in black saw them go away and left the pavilion as well.

It was late at night, and the night wind was blowing through the wheat fields, swaying the withered yellow ears of wheat.

Tomorrow will be harvested, Cheng Chumo did not dare to be careless, he carefully checked the defense of the entire planting base, and did not fall asleep until 1 o'clock in the morning.

Several soldiers in helmets patrolled non-stop.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "Look, what's that?" ”
