Chapter 51: Conspiracy

In the winter of the sixth year of Wude, the continuous heavy snow brought a very big impact to the Tang Dynasty that had just settled, Li Yuan had a very difficult time in this cold winter, and the disaster reports from all over the country were piled up in a corner of the imperial case, and the high stack of folds made Li Yuan have a headache to see once, but he had to look at it.

It has been half a month since Sun Simiao entered Beijing, and Li Xiuning's injury has been effectively controlled, although he still can't go down, but the wound is in good condition, which is probably the only good news this winter! In addition, Sun Simiao entered the palace to check Li Yuan's body, although it was not very good, but as long as he paid attention to rest and nourishment, there was still no big problem. This also relieved Li Yuan, because this was the conclusion given by the most brilliant doctor of this era.

Cui Xiang, the head of the household department, has cried poor several times, and the treasury of the Tang Dynasty has almost bottomed out, which is true. And not only the treasury, but even the inner government has reduced its consumption, but this hole is a bottomless pit, and it can be consumed with as much grain as it wants.

"These damned families, these Tian Shenu, know that burying copper coins in their own yards, don't they even care about the rise and fall of the country? It seems that if you really don't use some means, will you not take me seriously, or should you really need the support of your big families in the chaos of the world during the Great Cause? Hum! Li Yuan made a decision in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Where is the dark seven, pass on the order: copy a copy of the collected information and put it on the bedside of the heads of the great families who have the most money, and let them give half of their private belongings to survive this snow disaster!" ”

"Dark Seven Commands!" A voice came out, and then a dim shadow quietly left the Showa Palace and hurried outward.

Just when Li Yuan made up his mind to blackmail those wealthy families, a conspiracy was also being staged in another place.

Thirty miles outside Chang'an City, at the foot of Jade Mountain. A man in a python robe was climbing the mountain, and another person was waiting in the gazebo halfway up the mountain.

"Damn, don't wait for a good Chang'an City, run to the mountains outside the city to drink the northwest wind, big brother, you are really interested!" Before I reached the gazebo, the voice came from afar.

"What kind of interest, the second child is about to and pee on the head of this palace, even the best interest has been ruined!" The man in the gazebo returned to the road.

It is none other than Li Yuan's third son, His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty - Li Yuanji, although the mountain is covered by heavy snow, but the two princes are obviously also martial arts, and it is natural to climb the small jade mountain, Li Yuanji is wearing a python robe, a treasure jade around his waist, and a deerskin boot. Coupled with the rather elaborate honor guard at the foot of the mountain, it is obvious that he came out to play. I was just called here by a mysterious figure on the way, but I didn't expect to see the crown prince Li Jiancheng in the pavilion. This made him a little surprised, since the last time the two broke up, they hadn't seen each other again, even at the court meeting, why did they call themselves here mysteriously now?

"What do you have to tell the eldest brother to come here?" Li Yuanji asked with a smile, his small eyes were completely lost by his smile, and the big teeth protruding from his mouth made him smile very obscenely.

"What the third brother said last time, this palace agreed, but you must never hurt your father's life, you have to remember this clearly to this palace, otherwise even if you bring down the second brother in the future, this palace will not let you go!" Li Jiancheng said very seriously.

"Don't worry, that thing of mine can't eat dead people, it just makes people weak!" Li Yuanji didn't expect Li Jiancheng to agree with his idea, and his face was shocked, but this expression made Li Jiancheng want to vomit, and he was also wondering: Why is this third brother so far from himself and the second brother, is he really not his own brother? 、

"So, now you can tell Sù Hongu what the hell are you going to do!" Li Jiancheng still has to ask about the specific things, otherwise Li Yuan will find out the truth when Li Yuanji pushes two five or six, and takes himself out to make himself the top tank of the big brother, this kind of thing is his Li Yuanji's forte, when he was in Luoyang, he fled without a fight, so that Li Er had to guard against it.

"Presumably, the energy of the eldest brother also knows what the brother has been secretly doing all these years, and the younger brother will not hide it from you, the younger brother has been secretly minting copper coins in the past few years." Li Yuanji generously admitted that he minted coins privately.

"What? Minting coins is a capital offense! Li Jiancheng didn't expect Li Yuanji to have such courage, he also knew that Li Yuanji had several workshops that were mysterious and secretive, and he also bought copper mines everywhere, he thought that Li Yuanji was casting bronze, because he had also received a bronze BMW statue from Li Yuanji.

"It seems that your intelligence network is not very good, big brother! In fact, the younger brother did not do this very carefully, I believe that the father and the second child both knew, but they also acquiesced, because now the country really needs money, even if they know that the money is actually minted by the younger brother and I privately, they will use it seriously. Li Yuanji smiled happily, he felt that this incident was the best thing he had done in his life in the past thirty years, and even Li Er, who had been pressing him all the time, had to swallow this bad breath, and his whole body was comfortable when he thought about it.

"What does this have to do with that?" Li Jiancheng was puzzled.

"In the process of casting, the people under the younger brother found a strange thing, this thing will slowly change the water quality when put into the water, drinking such water for a long time will make people's health worse, vomiting, diarrhea, and even vomiting blood, but it is not fatal, at least the younger brother gave thirty or forty death row prisoners to drink such water, and not a single one died!" Li Yuanji said with a smile, talking about the matter of Cao Kan's life with a smiling face, this King of Qi's psychology was really distorted to a very strict point.

"You're going to give this to your father?" Li Jiancheng asked, "It's really not fatal?" "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little tempted.

"Don't worry, the dose will be reduced if you give peace to your father, and if you put it in the spring of living water, it will definitely not be life-threatening!" Li Yuanji replied.

"Are you going to put that thing in that spring in the West Mountain?" As soon as Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuanji's words, he knew his plan.

Li Yuan has a habit, he and the tea soup must drink the water from the spring in Xishan, no one knows why, even Li Jiancheng doesn't know, only knows that this is a habit that Li Yuan has maintained for more than 20 years.

"That's right, the little brother really thinks so, and the little brother has already quietly sent someone to do this a few days ago!" Li Yuanji did not hide what he did.

"What, it's already been done, why hasn't this palace received news?" Li Jiancheng was a little annoyed, is his intelligence system really backward, this is the second time he doesn't know, it seems that he should rectify it after he goes back. Those guys who are vegetarian in the corpse position should be executed at Ling Chi.

"Boss, don't worry, not only do you not know about this matter, but even the father and the second guy don't know, hehe...... There are no less than five of them inserting eyeliner around me, and two of them are my henchmen, if it weren't for the fact that these two guys showed flaws during the cold war with the boss during this time, they would have been found out about this plan! Li Yuanji proudly showed Li Jiancheng that he had found the spy around him.

"Since there are so many eyeliners around you, wouldn't there be more around this palace?" Li Jiancheng felt a chill in his back when he thought about it, and his every move was being monitored, which was not a good feeling.

"It's okay, just get used to it, as long as you know in your heart which people have problems, then maybe when these spies will become a sharp knife to their own master, if you use it well, it's invincible!" Li Yuanji usually looks stupid and stupid, very bastard, but at this time, he seems to be so shrewd, this His Royal Highness the King of Qi hides himself very deeply!

"But how can you determine who are spies? There are so many people around Hongu! "Li Jiancheng, as the crown prince, has a lot of people around him, either these people came to defect, or he recruited and co-opted them himself, among them, who can tell who is a spy among them!

"This little brother can't help it, the things that the little brother places in the spring can make the father and the emperor collapse within three years, as long as Li Er is not in the capital at that time, then the father will naturally pass on the throne to you, and when the time comes, as long as the eldest brother remembers that you promised the conditions of the younger brother." Li Yuanji said very indifferently, he didn't care who sat on the throne, as long as that person was not Li Er, it would be great if that person could help him deal with Li Er. Among the many sons of his father Li Yuan, there are only so many adults, and his three brothers have the greatest opportunity, and the rest of the brothers are either minors or have no right to ignore them. It's not a threat!

"Okay, a word is a certainty, as long as this palace is a great treasure, then the second family will be handed over to the third brother to dispose of! As for when the second brother comes back, the third brother may also have to help the brother resist one or two! Li Jiancheng thought for a while and gave an answer.

"This is natural, the little brother still dreams of beheading Li Er under the horse on the battlefield!" Li Yuanji said with a sneer.

After the two discussed, Li Yuanji went down the mountain first, leaving Li Jiancheng still in the pavilion, wrapped in the mink fur on his body, looking at Li Yuanji's footprints that were gradually buried by snowflakes, his face changed.

"Your Highness, King Qi is completely crazy, you have to be careful when cooperating with him!" A snow-white figure appeared behind Li Jiancheng, this person was wearing a snow-white cloak, if he lay quietly on the ground and did not make a sound, he could completely blend in with the snow.

"This palace has its own plans, but those eyeliners around this palace really make this palace unable to sleep, you go find them out!" Li Jiancheng commanded.

"Humble command!" The snow-white figure disappeared into the vast snowfield, and even the footprints were only a shallow one inch, not nearly half a foot deep like Li Yuanji!

"In this world, it must be from this palace!" Li Jianchengyan zhòng reflects a light called ambition.
