Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 719 True God Plan ([-])
Du Ruhui left in a hurry, because he knew that the smallest loss could be recovered by issuing the edict at a moment's notice. The supplies bought by the Japanese were his bargaining chips for the emperor to win back his face, so it was reasonable to be anxious .

As for Changsun Chong, he still has something to say, Lao Du is not interested, not to mention that he has already got what he deserves, since it is something that cannot be said, it must involve secrets.As an old official for many years, Du Ruhui knew very well that the less he knew, the longer he lived.The prince's favor can be repaid slowly, but if it doesn't happen quickly, wouldn't it mean that he will be involved in a new vortex.

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter, why is it so mysterious? Could it be that uncle also resold military supplies, or someone from the eldest grandson's family made a profit from it!" Li Chengqian said casually, playing with the teacup in his hand.

Those who are familiar with him know that the prince must be in a hurry if there is no clue, but once he has a clue, he is definitely more stable than an eighty-year-old man, and he will not even blink when Mount Tai moves.

For so many years, Chang Sun Chong has long been used to his cousin's virtue. He shook his head and smiled, then took out a confession form from his sleeve and presented it, and continued: "According to those insiders, these families also bought Some materials, if re-smelted into weapons, are enough to equip 1000 people."

In Datang, salt and iron were materials strictly controlled by the state. Without permission, no one could mine or hold large quantities.Taking Liu Rate as an example, even if Li Chengqian had the unique conditions of a military industrial zone, when changing Liu Rate's outfit, he had to go through the documents of the Ministry of War before proceeding.

These guys were really courageous, and they didn't want to make the emperor suspicious by holding too many weapons in the open, so they secretly moved a little to prepare for emergencies.Okay, cleverness is cleverness, and they never thought that this thing might not be able to save their lives in their hands, but instead become the king of Hades urging their lives?I really don't know how this brain grows, stupid.

"You mean to present these things to the emperor?" Li Chengqian raised the confession in his hand, staring at his eldest grandson and asked calmly.

"Well, according to common sense, it should be presented to His Majesty, because it is not only beneficial to the stability of the court, but also can minimize the risk, so that some of them can be eliminated early. beneficial."

Changsun Chong replied sternly, if he could have strangled those "jumping clowns" one day earlier, why not do it earlier, brotherhood and relatives are very worthless at certain times, since he has caught a once-and-for-all method, what's the point? Reason to let it go!

Changsun Chong believed that if they got such an opening, they would definitely cause a storm in the city, make everyone stand up and criticize the East Palace, and drive out the crown prince and the officials of the East Palace. They will never hesitate until now.

"Cousin, many things cannot be accomplished overnight. If you can't completely kill the snake with a stick, then don't shoot, because it is very likely that you will not kill the snake, but you will be bitten by someone inadvertently. Just like us For Li Ke's attitude, don't rush, take your time."

That's how people are, no matter how emotional a person is, if he is hurt again and again, his heart will turn cold. Li Chengqian is exactly this kind of person.So unrestrictedly stimulate their desires, let their strength and ambition appear in a state of unease, burst out at critical moments, and do irreversible things, in order to pass the test with the emperor.

Li Chengqian dared to bet, don't talk about these so-called confessions, even if the things were found in those mansions, at most it would be over with a swearing, can you still point at the emperor and kill them?That is simply impossible, and it will make the father suspect that he will eliminate dissidents.

Even if he worked harder and sent them to the guillotine, would it really be good for himself and Dong Gong?Once the conflicts between monarchy, ministerial power, royal family, nobles, and aristocratic families are resolved or eased, the emperor will focus on himself. Isn't this shooting himself in the foot?
Li Chengqian and him have been father and son for so many years, and they know each other well. If their father and son get dirty, the harm to the country and the royal family will be far greater than now, so why should they be dealt with now!
"Okay, cousin, don't think too much about it. All such files will be sealed up. All the criminals involved will be detained secretly by the internal guards. There is no solitary order. No one is qualified to retrial them." During the conversation, he drank. After taking two sips of tea, Li Chengqian put down the teacup and continued: "Corruption, corruption, reselling military supplies, these are all diseases of scabies, I'm not interested, but what is the "True God Project" they heard about, I really want to know specific content."

"It doesn't matter if they are Turkic people, Tang people, officials, or ordinary people. If you continue to dig along this line, the Turkic people are the ones who have nothing to gain. They will definitely not be aimless, and they will touch the edge of steel, I don’t think it’s as simple as they just want supplies to supplement domestic demand.”

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Turkic people are cruel, greedy, and they can only show the courage of ordinary people, without wisdom and good strategy, and they are not enough to achieve great things.But Li Chengqian, who personally experienced the wars in the early years of Zhenguan, didn't think so. Could it be possible for a nation without wisdom to suppress and fight the Tang army for so many years?
In the past hundred years, how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources the Central Plains Dynasty has spent, but they have not completely eliminated them. Is this right with the people's evaluation of well-developed limbs and simple minds?

In fact, the Turkic people still have a lot of merits, not to mention whether there is such a particular condition, but the simple and rude promotion system that does not care about human feelings and only recognizes strength, which is infinitely close to the Great Qin, the country of tigers and wolves. Therefore, Li Chengqian spent more energy on them than the usual neighboring countries.

Yes, after the father ascended the throne, he also advocated meritocracy, but after all, the beneficiaries are a small number of people. If we really let it develop, it will sooner or later be the same as Tubo and other countries in history. Qian, Li Chengqian absolutely cannot tolerate this.

Therefore, whether he was leading the Six Commanders or other armies, Li Chengqian told the soldiers more than once that he should beheaded and make meritorious deeds, and slaves should be made marquises to motivate the morale of the Tang army and ensure their wolfishness.

"Yes, Your Highness, although I have only heard about this real god's plan and don't know whether it is true or not, I can conclude that this plan must be aimed at my Tang Dynasty, and as Your Highness said, there is no huge profit, and they will not risk the world. It’s not for those who are enemies with our dynasty, after all, the civil strife in Western Turks is still unresolved, if our Tang army gets involved, then they will really be in danger of subjugation.”

When dealing with the plan proposed by the Turks, Chang Sun Chong also maintained a highly skeptical attitude. The struggle between countries is like this. There is no morality, no right or wrong, just consider who the final winner is.

Just like the crown prince secretly protecting the nobles and merchants who produced poisonous milk powder, as long as the goal is achieved, who cares about the means.For the next plan, Zhang Sun Chong had some ideas. He wanted to follow the stall where the Turkic people urgently needed steel, and use black market brokers as the medium to carry out a cooperation.Just like fighting a war, if you don't grasp the tongue, who can understand what's in it!

But the problem is equally difficult. If the amount of steel is small, people will definitely not take the bait. If the amount is large, the emperor's approval is required. As long as the prince usually speaks out, it will be fine.But what time is it now? It's time for His Majesty to arrest someone who suspects someone. Even Du Ruhui, a confidant of decades, is trembling, let alone him.Chang Sun Chong had just been involved in a theft case, and he didn't want to carry it again. Then his own face would be small, and it would be a big problem if he got involved with the prince.

Hehe, after chuckling a few times, Li Chengqian pointed at Changsun Chong, and scolded him with a smile. The twists and turns in his heart could be hidden from others, but he couldn't be hidden from himself. A small mistake made him A little bit once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes.

"Zhongliang, if there is any problem, Gu will take care of it, let's go and do it!".
