"Decree." Qin Fan hugged his fists.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said, "Okay, this matter will be left to you, I fully believe in your ability, and when the matter is completed, I will definitely reward you."

When Qin Fan heard this, he immediately showed joy, bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order."

In the imperial garden, Li Shimin and Qin Fan chatted with each other, and time was lost quickly.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin suddenly said, "By the way, Qin Aiqing, I heard that you have been reunited with your family?"

"Uh, back to Your Majesty."

Qin Fan nodded and smiled: "The Chen's family has moved to Luoyi City to live, don't hide it from Your Majesty, the Minister is going to bring them to see you when he returns to Beijing this time."

"Hmm."

Li Shimin nodded lightly: "I've worked hard for you in the past few months."

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is serious."

After a few small talks, the two began to discuss the next plan.

Li Shimin's target was directly aimed at Cao Zhengchun, but he did not act immediately, because before there was enough evidence, rash action was to seek death.

And this time Li Shimin is ready to play ruthlessly.

He was going to put Cao Zhengchun under house arrest first, and then use Cao Zhengchun to control the secret of military power.

forced the Cao clan to obey, so as to achieve his goal of weakening the Cao clan's power.

"Your Majesty is wise." Qin Fan praised it.

But he couldn't help but slander in his heart, Li Shimin was really insidious, even more insidious than his father.

This is a typical example of repaying grievances with virtue.

Li Shimin's father was cheated by Cao Zhengchun that year, which caused Li Tang Guozuo to almost die.

Therefore, Li Shimin has always wanted to bring down the Cao clan, but due to the ancestral system and rules, he can only endure it.

But all this is based on Cao Zhengchun's military power, and Cao Zhengchun's private soldiers are firmly grasped by Li Shimin and are not allowed to leak out.

So he can only pretend to be generous now, so that the Cao clan can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

As long as the Cao clan does not fall for a day, then Cao Zhengchun will not be able to turn the tables for a day.

This is also why Cao Zhengchun wanted to set up a bureau to frame Li Er and the princess, just to take the opportunity to control the forbidden army.

"Hehe, this old thing, still wants to seize power and usurp the throne."

Qin Fan couldn't help but sneer, "Your Majesty, you just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, why bother going through all the troubles?"

"According to Weichen's humble opinion, as long as you operate a little, I am sure that Cao Zhengchun will obediently accept his fate."

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "Alas, this Cao Zhengchun is a master of the rivers and lakes, and the guards around him are not good at stubble."

He was right, Cao Zhengchun has 3,000 elite guards under him, and these people are all carefully selected good players.

Although Li Shimin also raised a group of martial arts masters for his own drive, they were all for self-defense, and it was impossible to expose them easily.

After all, Jinyiwei belongs to the official organization.

"Your Majesty, although Cao Zhengchun is excellent in martial arts, there is no shortage of capable people in Jinyiwei, maybe someone can restrain him."

Qin Fan's eyes flickered, and he proposed, "Why don't you ask a Jianghu sect to help, and let them spy on Cao Zhengchun's movements?"

The so-called Jianghu sect in his mouth was actually made up by Qin Fan's brothers and sisters, and they were dedicated to assassination.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment: "This plan is very good, then I will send someone to contact your senior brother tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Stand down."

"Why?"

Qin Mansion.

Qin Fan stood in his room, looking at the topographic map in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.

"Cao Zhengchun, you want to kill me. And I don't, I'm going to turn you into a prisoner."

Qin Fan planned to act tomorrow night.

The key to this operation is Jinyiwei.

As long as Jinyiwei lurks in to assassinate Cao Zhengchun, then Cao Zhengchun will shed his skin even if he does not die.

At that time, Li Shimin will take the opportunity to send troops to attack, and he will definitely be able to destroy the Cao clan in one fell swoop.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth.

Li Shimin walked out of the palace with the support of the chamberlain, and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

This was the place he had to go in his early days.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the palace, Li Shimin stopped.

He turned his head to look at the square in the distance, and saw Qin Fan practicing in the square with hundreds of brocade guards, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"What a strange man."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to walk towards the palace gate.

After a while, Li Shimin boarded the dragon chariot and left Luoyang, heading straight to the north.

"Drive, drive."

With the roar of wheels rolling against the road, a dragon chariot shuttled through the bustling street market.

In the carriage, Li Shimin was silent, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Suddenly, Li Shimin opened his eyes violently and said in a deep voice, "Slow down."

With Li Shimin's order, the groom hurriedly slowed down the dragon chariot, and the carriage suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Li Shimin turned his head and asked, "Qin Aiqing, how did you sleep last night?"

"Your Majesty, the minister lost sleep last night." Qin Fan replied respectfully, "I'm afraid I'm going to go to the morning court with dark circles under my eyes today."

"Oh?" Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Qin Aiqing, why is this?"

"Ahem."

Qin Fan smiled dryly, "Actually. Actually, because I'm so excited, Your Majesty, I think my chance has come."

Li Shimin was stunned, and then frowned slightly, "Do you have any ghost ideas again?"

Qin Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood Weichen, how dare Weichen make random suggestions."

"Then why are you excited?" Li Shimin asked.

"That's the case, yesterday Weichen heard that Cao Zhengchun was going to rebel, so he thought of an excellent way to completely defeat Cao Zhengchun."

"What's the solution?" Li Shimin asked with interest.

Qin Fan said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun has three thousand forbidden troops under him, including one thousand cavalry."

"If you want to solve Cao Zhengchun's problem, Jinyiwei alone can't do it, you must gather the strength of the entire Datang."

"Only by gathering everyone's strength can Cao Zhengchun be completely dismantled."

"As long as Cao Zhengchun's minions are removed, he won't be able to set off any wind and waves. When the time comes, Your Majesty, you can summon Cao Zhengchun to the Qinzheng Palace and kill him with another edict."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Qin Fan's plan is indeed feasible.

As long as Cao Zhengchun's minions are eradicated, and then he is arrested in the Qinzheng Palace, it is equivalent to cutting Cao Zhengchun's throat.

As for whether Cao Zhengchun really plotted rebellion, as long as Li Shimin wrote an edict, he could tell it.

Whether Cao Zhengchun admits it or not, the ending can't be changed.

"Your Majesty, without further ado, let's go to my senior brothers to discuss countermeasures now, right?"

"Okay."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then bother Qin Aiqing to make a few more trips."

"Wechen obeys."

So, Qin Fan immediately returned home with someone and met with his senior brothers.

He told everyone the news that Cao Zhengchun was going to rebel.
