Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 256: Why do I need Your Majesty to tell me what to do?

Prince's residence.

Su Chen, who was checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps, suddenly heard a servant coming to report that the Crown Prince had arrived.

Su Chen was quite surprised by this.

With Li Chengqian's personality, if someone came to the Prince's Residence, he would definitely rush to him without saying a word. Would he even ask someone to inform him?

Could it be that besides the prince, there is someone else?

Thinking of this, Su Chen stood up to greet him.

As he walked out of the Prince's residence, Su Chen started laughing. As he expected, in addition to the Prince, there were also Zhao Jie and Du He.

"Brother Su, you are fine."

Zhao Jie and Du He greeted each other with a smile.

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "What brought the prince here?"

"East wind."

Li Chengqian smiled.

He called Zhao Jie and Du He and walked into the Prince's Residence together.

Su Chen smiled and told the servants to prepare tea, and then everyone sat down.

"Lu Chengsi has already spoken up and reported many of the Lu family members and the Kong family members. Have you heard about it?"

"Master Yu has already sent someone to inform him."

Su Chen nodded.

There was no way Yu Zhining would not inform him about such a thing.

After learning of Li Chengqian's decision, Su Chen knew that the situation would be chaotic.

Li Chengqian: "The arrow is on the string and has to be shot."

"Moreover, I think that taking this opportunity to attack the Lu and Kong families will not only give us the right timing, location and people, but we can also plunder a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from them."

Su Chen smiled and said, "The timing is good, but they may not be willing to give out the gold, silver and jewelry."

True.

For the descendants of the Lu family, or the descendants of the Confucius family, their foundation is the ancient books and teachings, but how can they gain a foothold without enough money?

When Li Chengqian made his decision, the news had already grown wings and flew to Fan Yang.

"It's not easy to deal with them."

Su Chen smiled and took a sip of tea and said, "As everyone knows, the Cui and Lu families have a close relationship. In addition, in addition to the Cui family, the Dong family, Yuan family, Shao family and other noble families in Fanyang all have good relations with the Lu family."

"If you target the Lu family members directly now, they will be forced to react!"

"One move affects the whole body!"

"Even if these noble families were not in danger, they would not watch you deal with the Lu family so easily."

Li Chengqian nodded, "I have thought about this issue, but we can divide it into two parts."

Su Chen smiled and said, "The Xue family has quite a bit of influence. If we can get them to mediate, it will be of some help to us."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, "Have you already arranged it?"

Su Chen shrugged, "You're moving so fast over there, if I don't follow up, it's easy to mess up."

Although Li Chengqian didn't quite understand what was going on, he still gave Su Chen a thumbs up for his arrangement.

Reliable!

While he was making plans and the court officials had just taken action, Su Chen's supporting work was already in place.

Su Chen said calmly: "Although Xue's influence is good, this matter will make them feel uneasy. I'm afraid Xue alone can't do it."

"In addition to the Xue family, I have also contacted the Shannan Liu family, the Hedong Pei family, and your father-in-law, etc."

"Compared to the Cui and Lu families, their influence is much weaker, but there is strength in numbers."

"As long as it is done properly, some of the impact of this incident can be weakened."

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Su Chen continued: "In addition to targeting the Lu and Kong families, I ordered Su Wang to prepare 300,000 taels of silver for you."

"Although the silver is not much, it is enough to support a battle in Songzhou."

"If the 50,000 Tibetan troops dare to attack Songzhou, we will make sure they never return!"

"it is good!"

Li Chengqian clapped his hands and cheered, the excitement on his face becoming more and more intense!

Originally it was thought that some silver money raised from Su Chen would be enough to support the defense of Songzhou, but unexpectedly, Su Chen directly took out 300,000 taels of silver to give Tubo a severe beating.

Li Chengqian has never fought such a rich battle!
In his impression, even Li Shimin had never fought such a prosperous battle!

A war for three hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to make the Songzhou soldiers fearless of death!

Du He and Zhao Jie, who were standing by, were also stunned.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Su Chen could easily raise 300,000 taels of silver in just two days is enough to make people feel terrified!

"So, what are you doing bringing these two here today?"

After Su Chen drank a sip of tea, he put down the cup and said with a smile: "You are not trying to tell me to let Zhao Jie and Du He go to the battlefield?"

Du He waved his hand, "I'm not that kind of person."

Zhao Jie said with a smile: "I would like to, but His Highness won't allow it."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "You two each have your own missions to accomplish, so you naturally cannot go to the battlefield easily."

"Actually, I came to see you today because I have good news to tell you!"

"What good news?"

Su Chen was curious.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Du He, you should speak for me."

Du He nodded and said slowly: "We succeeded!"

"Success?"

"What worked?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy, "What do you mean?"

Du He smiled and nodded.

call!
It really worked!
Su Chen clenched his fists, and the parts for the musket were made!

With muskets, their chances of winning are even greater!

"After the workshop had some success, I rushed here as soon as possible. I happened to meet the Crown Prince and Brother Zhao on the way, so we came together."

Du He said with a smile: "However, Brother Su, although those things have been made, no one knows how to use them." Su Chen waved his hand, "This is not a difficult task. Just give me a month, and I can build an elite force that is invincible and unstoppable!"

Li Chengqian couldn't wait to ask, "Compared to the Qianniu Guards, how does the Shen Ce Army compare?"

Su Chen smiled contemptuously and raised three fingers, "Give me three months. The Qianniu Guards and the Shen Ce Army are as weak as paper in front of them and cannot withstand a single blow!"

"What if it's half a year?"

Zhao Jie and the other man looked expectant.

Su Chen raised his lips slightly, "You can ascend the throne in public, who in the world dares to say no!"

hiss!
Zhao Jie and the other man gasped, and the temperature around them rose sharply, and Li Chengqian's face turned red.

Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva and spoke word by word, "Brother Su, are you serious?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "My Lord, you may have forgotten that we still have bombs in our hands!"

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly, "I remember, of course I remember!"

How could he forget about such an explosive with such incredible power?
Su Chen: "Bombs can give us enough advantages in close combat, but when facing the black armor cavalry and the swift archers, they are ultimately vulnerable."

"But now that the parts of the musket have been made, once they are put together, they can greatly make up for the shortcomings in this area!"

Du He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Are the things I made really so terrifying?"

Su Chen: "Have you ever seen wheat being harvested?"

Du He nodded, not understanding what he meant: "What does a musket have to do with harvesting wheat?"

Su Chen: "When rows of musketeers stand in front, no matter how many cavalrymen there are, once they get close it will be like harvesting wheat."

Falling down in rows?

Du He's eyes lit up. Isn't this too powerful?
Zhao Jie couldn't help swallowing his saliva. If that was the case, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted with only 10,000 troops?
Tons tons tons.

Li Chengqian grabbed the teacup and drank it in one big gulp. Still not feeling refreshed, he picked up the glass bottle filled with herbal tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Chengqian rolled up his sleeves without any image, wiped the water stains on his face, and stared at Su Chen with a serious face: "Brother Su, I'm not kidding!"

Su Chen: "Don't joke!"

"Hahaha……"

Li Chengqian stared at Su Chen in silence for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"I knew that you, Brother Su, were sent by God to help me!"

Li Chengqian wiped away the tears from his laughter and said in a deep voice, "I feel relieved after hearing your words."

Su Chen smiled and nodded.

Li Chengqian: "By the way, why didn't I see Sun Qiang when I came here just now?"

Su Chen: "I asked him to bring a message to Cao Yuan."

"What is this arrangement?"

“Be prepared.”

Su Chen smiled and said, "This is a hidden move. It is not certain whether it can be used."

Li Chengqian nodded, "When will the firearms be deployed?"

Su Chen: "No hurry, it will take some time to assemble the parts. Besides, don't you want to take this opportunity to see who is biased towards you?"

Li Chengqian: "Lean towards me?"

Su Chen took the glass bottle that the servant had just brought and poured a glass for Li Chengqian. He said with a smile, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. You have only been the regent for a short time, and such a big thing has happened. Can Your Majesty stay in Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat peacefully?"

The smile on Li Chengqian's face slowly faded, and he became more thoughtful. Zhao Jie and the other man's expressions instantly became serious.

The news about the actions of the Lu and Kong children would definitely be transmitted to Jiucheng Palace at an extremely fast speed.

If Li Shimin was unwilling to take action, he would definitely step forward to stop it.

"what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty has most likely returned to Chang'an City."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "Your enlightenment is ahead of the new learning. As long as you proceed steadily, in a few years, these so-called aristocratic families will gradually disintegrate under the impact of the new learning."

"But you took this opportunity to target the Lu and Kong family members and wanted to punish them. How could His Majesty sit still?"

"of course."

"Because of the newspaper, everyone can understand your thoughts and will scold the children of the Lu and Kong families, but they are just a group of ordinary people in the end."

Ordinary people may make some weak voices in prosperous times, but in turbulent times, they are just a group of rootless duckweed.

It is so easy for the children of noble families to bully them however they want.

In troubled times, human lives are worthless!

"In the final analysis, your confidence should not come from me, but from the ministers in the court."

Su Chen said meaningfully: "At least, they are still your foundation and your helpers on the road to success!"

Li Chengqian also looked at Su Chen deeply. Once he succeeded, these helpers would be dispensable?
Or rather.

When the new enlightenment studies developed to a certain level, these people no longer had any need to exist.

They may become an obstacle to the development of new learning because of it!
Li Chengqian smiled calmly, "It seems that when I return today, I will have to ask the emperor and his subjects."

Su Chen nodded, "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, it's inevitable."

"Have you thought of an excuse?"

Li Chengqian brushed off the water stains on his body and said calmly, "Why do I need your Majesty to tell me what to do?"

Zhao Jie and Du He both widened their eyes.

Prince...

This is a bit too much!

However, although they had such thoughts in their minds, a bolder idea kept popping up in their minds.

They are like bamboo shoots that have sprung up after the rain, and you can never cut them all off no matter how hard you try!

Li Chengqian stood up and asked, "When will the silver be delivered?"

Su Chen: "It can be delivered at any time."

Li Chengqian nodded, looked at Zhao Jie and the other two with a smile, and said calmly: "Do you want to leave with me?"

Zhao Jie and Du He both looked at Li Chengqian with a dazed look in their eyes.

The person standing in front of him seemed to be not Li Chengqian, but Li Shimin!
That kind of confidence and arrogance is hard to look at.

"I wish to follow the prince!"

"it is good!"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly and walked away with his hands behind his back, "I want to see what your majesty wants to tell you!"
