Chapter 43: The Credits That Can't Be Reached
"I heard that you are quite accomplished in assassination and poisoning?"
Wang Xiao's beard shook off and explained: "Xia Guan has no attainments!"
Li Chengzong said: "If there is, there is, and it is not something unseemly." If you want to say that this assassination and poisoning are also a big skill, this king is now lacking talents like you. ”
What do you mean? Is King Jin going to do something that he can't see?
Wang Xiaohu felt that this was an opportunity, and the best way for him to be demoted was to be appreciated.
"No matter what the King of Jin commands, even the last general of the sword mountain and the sea of fire is willing to go on a journey." Wang Xiaohu said loudly.
"Knife mountain and sea of fire? It's too serious. There's just one thing that the king thinks you have to do. ”
Wang Xiaohu said: "The prince commands it."
Li Chengzong asked Wang Xiaohu to open the box on the side, only to see that it was full of gold. Wang Xiaohu's eyes are green, although he is also a person who has seen some of the world, he is inevitably demented.
"Take this money, your task is to use this money to set up an intelligence agency for this king, and the name of this king will be called Minglou when he has thought of it. I don't need you to do much, give this king to break into Chang'an no matter what, and this king will know everything inside and outside Chang'an City in half a year. Isn't it easier than going to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire?"
Wang Xiaohu admits that he has some skills in killing people and overstepping goods, but if he organizes an intelligence agency that is enough to understand inside and outside Chang'an, he is a little worried.
Chang'an is no better than other places, full of high-ranking officials, huge wealth, and families, and it is always impossible to be wrong with many people. The relationship between people and the entanglement of interests are complex and not simple.
Seeing Wang Xiaohu's embarrassed face, Li Chengzong encouraged: "What are you worried about? The more chaotic Chang'an's relationship network is, the better it is for you, remember that this king does not want to know anything about sesame mung beans. You just need to keep an eye on the Qin Palace, Pei Mansion, Xiao Mansion and East Palace. Of course, the most important ones are my second uncle's Qin Palace, the Qin Palace, and my father's East Palace. ”
"Command" Wang Xiaohu thought to himself how to fight, whether he could turn over the salted fish depends on this time. If you can get any fatal information in the process of the battle for the throne, it will be the work of the dragon!
Li Chengzong smiled: "Yes, courageous." You don't have to save a penny of money, if it's not enough, I'll send someone to you, of course, if you have anything, just come to the king. ”
With a heavy pace, Wang Xiaohu disappeared into the barracks silently, and even Gao Yaxian didn't know where he went.
When Li Chengzong was still the governor of Hebei Province, Dong Hua had secretly opened many casinos in various states in Hebei as intelligence points. It's just that Dong Hua alone really can't take care of the situation in Chang'an, and there is really a need for a special person in charge. Li Chengzong hopes that one day Wang Xiaohu will be able to pass on the information of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change to him!
Let's talk about the Turks and Li Shimin, who have been in a state of meditation. Small battles continue, but big battles are not fought.
The Turkic Turks didn't want to be cannon fodder for their shameless uncle, and they didn't want to send troops even if they died.
The traitor Zhao Deyan on the side persuaded: "Great Khan, it's better to take a step back, the province wastes more troops, and the Tuli Khan is cheap."
Zhao Deyan is a standard traitor model, since the Sui Dynasty, he has followed Jieli and mixed up, and has a lot of hurtful ideas, and he has a deep trust in Jieli.
How could Jieli Khan not understand that Tuli, an uneasy nephew, had already known about hooking up with Li Shimin behind his back.
It's useless to know, he doesn't have the ability to destroy the Tuli centaur now, otherwise the Tuli Khan might have fed the wild wolves in the wilderness a long time ago.
"Let's talk about peace, send someone to tell Li Shimin." It's helpless, it's really helpless.
After preparing for so long and using so many manpower and material resources, it is still necessary to negotiate peace in the end.
King Qin was naturally happy, and he didn't do anything to settle the matter.
The eldest grandson Wuji finally found a place to be happy in a very unhappy time. But he was still worried, and said: "I don't know what other means King Jin has, I always feel that King Jin shouldn't be such a peaceful person."
"Whatever, the Turks have withdrawn anyway. It is also a fact that King Jin has never appeared from beginning to end, and the credit this time is that King Jin will never have a way to break his head. Cheng Yanjin shouted.
Everyone agreed.
But the people of the Qin Palace's Mansion couldn't imagine that Li Chengzong wouldn't give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions at all, and you don't want what I don't want.
The camp of King Jin was full of dissatisfaction, and he stayed for so long inexplicably, and went home without doing anything?
The dissatisfied generals were all overjoyed, but the soldiers below were very happy.
Shan Xiongxin said: "What is this, it will end before it starts."
"Brother Shan, you can be quiet, don't let King Jin hear it." Su Dingfang and Shan Xiongxin have been mixing well recently, and the two have found a lot of common topics.
"It's okay, everyone knows King Jin's temper, it won't be good. It's just that in the past, King Jin was a proactive person, and I can't understand this time when I'm so negative!
Shan Xiongxin is very incomprehensible. He felt that Li Chengzong, the only person he had targeted since Luoyang was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, why would he rather give up the credit this time?
"Don't guess, King Jin told everyone to enter the account." Gao Yaxian, who walked behind him, said.
Li Xiuning didn't do anything after receiving the money, he was quite lucky in his heart, and he was in a very good mood.
"What the hell is going on, hurry up. I'm getting people to prepare things and go home. Li Xiuning said.
Li Chengzong said with a smile: "My aunt is really a straightforward person, little nephew, I am just showing you a letter today, and after reading it, you can do what you should do." My aunt is leaving, and I'm leaving, so let's go together. ”
A letter, which was written by Li Chengzong to Li Yuan when he defeated Liu Heimin.
The content of the letter is also very simple.
Li Chengzong clearly analyzed the current situation within the Turks and clarified the actions that Li Shimin was going to do, and almost everything that happened in the future corroborated the contents of Li Chengzong's letter.
First, the two sides confronted each other, and then Li Shimin secretly contacted the Turki Khan, and the Turki Khan, who was dragging his feet, forced his own uncle not to act rashly, and finally had to end hastily.
Wei Zheng understood, and he really had the urge to worship Li Chengzong.
The so-called credit not only did not get a single share of the Qin King Li Shimin, but even made his status in the emperor's heart greatly reduced.
You said you won the war? The emperor has known for a long time. You say you're going to be rewarded for your deeds? But Li Chengzong's letter made it very clear that the relationship between the retired soldiers and you is a dime, and the key is the internal instability of the family.
"King Jin is really talented." Wei Zheng complimented.
Li Chengzong smiled: "General, average!"
Li Xiuning said lukewarmly: "It's hidden deep enough, King Jin." Is it necessary for the whole barracks to be hidden from you?"
"That's not the case, the best deception is to deceive yourself first, if I don't let the whole camp believe it, how can I deceive my cunning second uncle. Besides, I just quietly sent a letter to the imperial grandfather, I really didn't do anything, and I didn't have to make the city stormy. Li Chengzong hurriedly said.
Not satisfied with Li Chengzong's answer is really perfunctory, and more importantly, facing such a scheming nephew makes Li Xiuning very awkward.
