Li Chongfu's mood is of course very good, this is the first time he has raised his eyebrows so highly.

He now knew that Webster, who he had feared before, was nothing more than that.

It is reasonable for him to think of Qin Shaoyou, now that he has completely broken with Empress Wei, it is natural that there are many friends and many paths, he has the name of a prince, after all, there is no prince, and the princes are the last word.

So when he returned to the palace, he quietly repaired a book and sent it to Luoyang.

All...... It seems that everything is calm, and it seems that there is no need to tremble as before, and it is rare to have a few comfortable days.

But within a few days, Li Chongfu was completely dumbfounded.

The third prince Li Chongjun was summoned to the palace, and on the same day, a will came out, and the third prince Li Chongjun was established as the crown prince.

When the news reached the second prince's palace, Li Chongfu was suddenly stupid.

He was silent for a long time, and finally ...... Silent.

His good fortune seems to have come to an end.

Of course, he knows what it means for his younger brother to be the crown prince, the prince is the prince, and the prince is the future son of heaven, and for the vast majority of people, since he is the future son of heaven, the future of many people is also on him.

Now that the Wei family has obviously reached a period of decline, many Wei family members have begun to hibern, and even Empress Wei has 'died'.

There is already speculation outside, this is the Wei family can't control the situation, and they have already retreated.

There are also rumors that His Majesty has noticed some of the Wei family's intentions and has decided not to be a fool anymore. began to suppress the Wei family openly and secretly, and now it seems that Queen Wei is sick. In addition, the sudden establishment of the crown prince is proof of this.

Once the Wei family is dormant, then it is bound to form a power vacuum, who will fill this vacuum?

Almost Li Chongfu didn't need to think about it to know that all this was ...... It will only benefit the next prince.

But here's the problem. If Li Chongfu was an ordinary prince, it would be fine, but he was not unusual at all, he was the eldest brother. In all dynasties, the younger brother became the Son of Heaven, and how many people who are the emperor's brothers can have a good end?

Seem...... All of a sudden, Li Chongfu fell to the bottom again. And this time it seems to be even worse.

Because once upon a time. No matter what happens to the Wei family, after all, he is the hope of all the clans and the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and the last thought of all the subjects for the Tang Dynasty. So if the Wei family really wants to do it, they still have to take into account some discussions.

But now, he found that he was nothing, and the Wei family naturally regarded himself as a thorn in his side because he hugged Wu Zetian's thigh.

What about others. The hope of this Datang in the eyes of others is natural. It also fell on the crown prince. For everyone, His Majesty's establishment of the crown prince has far exceeded their expectations, and now, where can there be extraneous branches, for this orderly matter to fight with the Son of Heaven, once the time comes, I am afraid that even this benefit will be gone, and that will be more than worth the loss.

And his third brother, the third brother became the prince, and he will be the son of heaven in the future, is it ...... Do you really feel at ease with your brother? If it is the fourth prince, the third brother must be tolerant, after all...... That's his younger brother, the fourth prince has no qualifications to succeed the unification, so he won't be delusional, and the prince is naturally at ease with him. But......

Li Chongfu began to feel uneasy.

For him, Chang'an City seemed to be ambushed everywhere, and he didn't even know when he would die suddenly, although he went to Longmen Palace once, met Li Chongjun, and congratulated his younger brother 'diligently'.

On that day, Li Chongjun wore the prince's robe, wore a crown of heaven, and lived in the Longmen Palace, which had been desolate for many years, Li Chongfu obediently gave him the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, Li Chongjun almost rushed to him in a hurry, helped him up, and said things like you and my brother, and called Li Chongfu as the emperor's brother as before, but at this time...... Li Chongfu's heart sank to the bottom.

I want to do this younger brother with the king, but this younger brother ...... But if he doesn't accept it with peace of mind, you can say that he is humble, but to a certain extent, doesn't it mean that he wants to be a courtier but can't get it?

He didn't sleep well for several nights in a row, and now Li Chongfu's only hope is that the emperor will be the emperor, and if the emperor can protect himself, things may have room to turn around.

It's just that the emperor lives in the palace, but Li Chongfu doesn't even have a chance.

But at this time, a letter was delivered to him.

This was sent by Qin Shaoyou, Li Chongjun tore up the letter, the letter was not signed, and even the handwriting seemed to come from the hand of the knife and penman, obviously...... There is no deep meaning.

And there is only a few words in the letter: "Your Highness is afraid of a disaster, please move to Luoyang, and the ministers are waiting here." ”

A very simple sentence, but it revealed a lot of information, first of all, this letter is very ordinary, neither Qin Shaoyou's own handwriting, nor did it leave any traces of Henan Mansion, that is to say, even if Li Chongfu sent this letter to the imperial front now, it cannot be proved that this is Qin Shaoyou's meaning.

And more importantly, the misfortune it said seemed to be in line with Li Chongfu's intentions, and Li Chongfu's uneasiness had become worse day by day, which made him start to stop taking any chances.

Of course...... The last sentence is the most important thing.

Qin Shaoyou called Li Chongfu His Royal Highness, which was also a matter of course, because Li Chongfu was both the prince and the king, and there was almost no problem in calling His Royal Highness.

The problem lies in Qin Shaoyou's self-title, Qin Shaoyou calls himself a minister, you know, Qin Shaoyou is also a prince, and the title of King Wei is to some extent more noble than King Qian. This is naturally because Li Chongfu is inconspicuous in the eyes of Wei, so in the title, he deliberately belittles Li Chongfu.

Since the two sides are at the same level, why does Qin Shaoyou call himself a minister? There are only three people in this world who can make Qin Shaoyou call himself a minister, one is the emperor, one is the son of heaven, and the other is the prince.

Li Chongfu looked at the letter, old for a long time. He didn't say a word.

What was Qin Shaoyou's idea?

What does he want to do?

Do you stay in Jingzhao Mansion or go to Henan Mansion?

How do you change it?

There were countless thoughts in his heart, but he was a little wavering. He didn't want to stay in Chang'an for a day, there were too many fears for him here, and more importantly, Qin Shao was right, he was afraid that it wouldn't be long before his own disaster came.

And Qin Shaoyou's meaning seems to be to protect himself. But...... Do you really want to be protected by him?

Who knows if this person will sell himself?

Maybe...... He has no friendship with the crown prince, and he knows very well that when the crown prince ascends the throne, he is the high-ranking and powerful King of Wei. Sooner or later, he will become a thorn in the side of the new Son of Heaven, so he wants to follow the example of the original time, support his father and emperor to ascend the throne, and make a contribution to the dragon.

From which dragon? Yourself, of course. After all, he is the eldest son of the emperor. is the most qualified to inherit the unification.

So...... Should I go?

Li Chongfu was uncertain, after all, he was not a person who made decisions on the spot, and he didn't have so many decisiveness, he was determined to wait and see, and then see. It's just that this letter, he hid it closely, no matter what, for this. It's all a way out.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………

Henan Mansion is very calm here, Your Majesty's edict. After all, he still didn't come, and in fact, the Wei family obviously couldn't care about letting Qin Shaoyou go to Chang'an, and Qin Shaoyou also knew that now that the showdown was approaching.

Up to now, Qin Shaoyou really doesn't have much room to choose, although this time the Wei family has suffered a heavy blow, but the emperor's card is now in Chang'an instead of Luoyang, which makes everything in the future can only rely on Qin Shaoyou himself.

And once the Wei family regains its foothold, or if the son is still obsessed and obedient to the Wei family, then for Qin Shaoyou, his only choice is to make the final preparations.

Just a few days ago, almost all the core figures under Qin Shaoyou's account gathered in Luoyang, and then, Qin Shaoyou made a decision, when today's son is weak, the dragon body is not safe, the princes of various towns, and some people are plotting against him, so now, as a loyal minister and righteous man, Henan Mansion must prepare for the worst.

What is the worst plan, that is, at any time at the order of the Son of Heaven, to punish the minister.

In other words, now that the world is unstable, many people are beginning to have bad intentions, as loyal ministers, they should take precautions and prepare for the worst, and when there is a rebellion, the king of Wei will wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven at any time to kill those rebels.

If you want to be such a loyal minister, you must have strength.

The so-called strength, naturally, is the expansion of the army.

Qin Shaoyou demanded that from now on, whether it is the Shence Mansion or the Five Military Mansions, they must give priority to the military, especially the Five Military Mansions, and continue to expand the recruitment of men and horses, and the number of the five military camps will be expanded to 200,000 as much as possible.

200,000 military horses, if you adopt the previous government military system, it is not difficult, after all, the militia is only, usually let them farm the land, and temporarily gather people.

But...... The conscription system adopted by the five military camps means that in the future, there will be nearly 300,000 people in the entire Henan Prefecture and the five towns, who will be dedicated to armaments and not production.

This kind of play, if it is an ordinary prince, I am afraid that even if he controls two hundred states, I am afraid that he may not be able to play it.

However, the states that Qin Shaoyou now controls are full, but they are only more than thirty, although one prefecture in Henan can be worth twenty states, but the scale of fifty states is difficult to bear such huge expenses. Among them, the most critical point is nothing more than two, one is people, and the other is money.

There are only so many strong men on the register, how can you recruit so many idle people?

Fortunately...... The new policy of the five towns in advance provided Qin Shaoyou with this condition.

It is precisely because it is a new deal that has liberated the countless populations in the hands of the wealthy people, so that they have become registered households, and are no longer the personal slaves of the powerful people, which almost led to the increase in the population under Qin Shaoyou's rule by thirty percent, and for any regime, only the registered population is the real population, if it is no longer in the household registration, you can neither tax him, nor let them let them be levied by you, even themselves, they have no freedom in life, but they are just kept in captivity somewhere, day and night for the Hao clan to cultivate and work, It's just a matter of increasing the strength of the wealthy family.

But now, these people have become the force of the Five Military Administration, although most of them have flowed into manufacturing, and some people have purchased land and become farmers, which has greatly eased the pressure on the population.

In addition, a few months ago, a famine occurred in the nearby town of Tianwei, which caused many displaced people to pour into Henan Province, and the population here has increased a lot. The treatment of the five military camps has always been good, not only has money, but also excellent food and accommodation, coupled with the influence of the Shence Army, so that Qiu Ba, who was originally in the eyes of everyone, actually has a bad reputation in the five towns of Henan Province, but there are many people who have joined the army.

After all...... There have been many people who have made meritorious contributions because of their participation in the army, coupled with the expansion of the Shence Army and the five military camps, the vast majority of those who entered the Shence Army in the past have become military attachés, which naturally has a great attraction for many people who have no way out.

In terms of money and food, there is no need to worry about the manufacture of weapons for the time being...... The scale is getting bigger. And the larger the scale, the cost will be reduced, just like the previous Zhuge hand crossbow, if it is only specially made of 10,000, the price of a repeating crossbow is only afraid to be as high as seven or eight times, but once the demand is 100,000, plus the experience of management and manufacturing has begun to be proficient, so now a same hand crossbow may be less than half of the original price.

Not only that, but other sabers, horseshoes, military uniforms, helmets, water bottles, boots, marching quilts, and satchels were probably the same.

Of course...... There is still a lot of pressure to support so many people, because if such money is smacked in, if there is no war, it is basically equivalent to complete consumption and waste, and it will not produce a little value.

Therefore, in terms of money and food, Qin Shaoyou is still determined to take some measures, but what to do is controversial internally.
