As soon as Pei Mingli's banner was hung, it almost alarmed all the officials and merchants in Chang'an City.

Merchants pay more attention to the specific content of the sales contract.

And those officials are naturally concerned about the deep meaning behind this series of abnormal actions between Li Zhi and Li Tai.

At this time, a banquet was being held in the prince's mansion.

Since it was at home, everyone naturally behaved a lot.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Chengqian suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "What do you think of the interactions between the King of Wei and the King of Jin in recent days?" ”

Hou Junji, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "This incident happened after the King of Wei worshipped Gao Shilian as his teacher.

Although Gao Shilian and Li Zhi did not have much contact with each other on weekdays, they never had any dirty relationship.

Could the King of Wei have heeded his persuasion and to cooperate with the King of Jin? ”

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "If that's the case, do I have to continue the previous plan?"

After the two of them join forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have an advantage in the court. ”

Du He said: "This matter must not only continue, but also accelerate the progress.

Now, whether the two of them are sincere in cooperation or not, after all, the time is still short, and we can only gain something if we act as soon as possible. ”

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "But so far, his subordinates have not collected any substantial evidence.

It's not easy to sue the officials around Li Zhi! ”

Li Anyan opened his mouth and said: "The King of Jin and them have a lot of money and goods, can't they make some fuss in this regard?" ”

After hearing this, Hou Junji immediately shook his head and said, "This matter must not be done.

This matter is widely implicated, that is, the crown prince and other princes are involved.

If this is put on the table, everyone will be unlucky.

At that time, the crown prince was completely opposed to the ministers. ”

Du He said: "Could it be that these people don't have any negligence in government affairs? ”

Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Nowadays, the older generation of officials are all cautious in their work, and they never leave a handle on people.

As for those young officials, most of them are professionals, and the prince doesn't know much about this professional affairs! ”

Hou Junji thought for a moment and said, "You might as well find the incident from the relatives of these officials."

If some evidence can be found, it can also be implicated. ”

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Nowadays, the streets of Chang'an City are full of second-generation officials, and many of these people are idle and idle.

If you investigate carefully, you can't really find some illegal evidence.

So he thought for a while and nodded, "This matter will be handled according to Master Shangshu's proposal." ”

Li Chengqian's decision to go to those second generations of officials was also a last resort.

The officials who were closer to Li Zhi were his three teachers, as well as Zhang Ru, Yan Lide and others.

It was later Dai Guan, Wang Qi and others who slowly approached him because they admired Li Zhi's way of doing things.

These people themselves have no defects in their own character, and they have long understood the way of being an official after many years in the officialdom.

Li Chengqian's attempt to catch the mistakes of these people is naturally extremely difficult.

However, these people are in high positions, busy with official duties all day long, and they are a little negligent in the discipline of their children and juniors.

Li Chengqian's approach can really have some effect.

A few days later, Li Chengqian was once again arranged by Li Shimin to go to the outside of Chang'an with Li Zhi to welcome the victorious return of the dragoons.

This time, the achievements of the dragoons were even more prominent, so many of the people in Chang'an City ran outside the city to meet them.

Li Chengqian sat in the carriage and looked at the crowd outside the carriage, feeling not happy, but deeply worried.

This army is simply too powerful, but such a strong army still has an inseparable close connection with Li Zhi.

If this army is allowed to exist for a long time, even if he inherits the throne, he will not feel at ease.

As long as Li Zhi has the slightest disobedience, the dragoon will immediately turn into a sharp sword in his hand and stab himself fiercely.

This time, Li Chengqian also chose to go out of the city twenty miles to greet him, just like last time.

Li Zhi is still willing to make a little transparent next to him as he was last time.

But at this time, Li Chengqian's inner thoughts were very different from last time.

His attitude towards Su Lie was obviously not as cordial as the last time he came.

Li Chengqian only had a deep fear of the dragoon army now, and he really couldn't feel close to Su Lie in front of him.

After playing the correct process of the standard monarch and ministers, Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an City with some interest and lack of interest.

Although he had been performing hard just now, he could clearly feel that the soldiers of the Dragoon Army were paying more attention to Li Zhi.

This army has been branded by Li Zhi.

Unless the Dragoon Army is disbanded immediately, no one will be able to replace Li Zhi's position in the hearts of the Dragoon soldiers.

Li Chengqian couldn't figure out what Li Zhi had done for the Dragoon at this time.

Obviously, it seems that Li Zhi has never interfered too much in the affairs of the Dragoons, and these people will still be so loyal to him.

At this time, not far from the canyon where the ambush was set up outside Songzhou City, a large monument with a height of more than ten meters is quietly standing here.

It is inscribed in detail with the beginning and end of the battle of Songzhou and the names of all those who died, including the defenders of Songzhou.

At this time, Han Xian poured a bowl of drunken immortal brew in his hand in front of the monument, and Yang Jie, Guo Xin and others around him did the same.

After being silent for a while, Han Xian spoke: "Have the bereavement pensions of the fallen been delivered?" ”

Yang Jie said: "General Qiyu has been delivered. ”

Han Xian nodded and sighed, "These soldiers are also worth dying. ”

Guo Xin on the side said: "When did this imperial court start to give so much?" ”

Han Xian glanced at him and then said, "General Guo should probably think more about why the imperial court issued two bereavement pensions.

And why did someone suddenly want to erect this stone monument here? ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said: "If you want to come here, this matter should be related to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the person who will be the prisoner has also mentioned the King of Jin many times. ”

Han Xian said: "This monument is an application made by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to His Majesty.

But the second bereavement pension was paid by His Royal Highness King Jin privately. ”

Guo Xin said: "Why did His Royal Highness King Jin do this? ”

After listening to Guo Xin's words, Han Xian sighed and said, "This official also can't figure it out, but this must be related to the dragoons. ”

After Han Xian's words were finished, he left here with everyone.

At this time, on the official roads in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 100 dragoon soldiers carrying a big package on their backs, and they were silently hurrying.

They have to send the ashes of their comrades back to their hometowns, and they also have to solve the difficulties that their families may encounter after losing their families.

The warriors of the Dragoons were able to receive enough military exploits and rewards during their lifetimes.

The families they leave behind after their deaths are also best cared for.
