The five surnames and Qiwang mastered middle and lower-level officials, but Li Shimin began to create some new yamen. Whenever a new yamen was established, these people wanted to send their people in, but they had no success every time, and this time it was the same.

Whether it is Li Tai or Li Xiang, they are all from their Li family. According to Li Shimin's idea, the meat is rotten in the pot. No matter who makes achievements, the new yamen has great power and has nothing to do with the people of the five surnames and seven hopes.

Imperial City Department...

After resigning from the court, Li Shimin wrote these three big characters, which was also written according to Li Xiang's suggestion. Li Shimin called Li Xiang and Li Tai, which was also considered as a test for the two of them to give the name of this new yamen. Li Tai usually gained talent, but a stick of incense had passed, and Li Tai did not say a name, but Li Xiang blurted out.

"Have you selected the location?"

Li Shimin asked Wang De. Whether it was Li Tai or Li Xiang, he had lived in a deep courtyard for a long time. He didn't know much about Chang'an City. Wang De had a deep understanding of Chang'an City.

"If you go back to the emperor, there is an idle yamen in the southeast corner of the imperial city. It was originally the residence of the imperial guards of the Northern Ya, but later it was idle and could be the location of the Imperial City Department's yamen."

When he retired from the court just now, Wang De had already thought of this. Now that Li Shimin asked Wang De, he had already said it.

Although the Imperial City Department is an institution for catching spies, it has to be under the nose of Li Shimin because it has hundreds of elite soldiers in its hands. If it is too far away, it may not be easy to control it. Even if the emperor gives the person to his son and grandson, he has to be optimistic.

"You uncle and nephew both listened. This is not for you to fight each other, nor for you to play. This is also an important yamen of the court. Everyone in the world is watching, and the people of the five surnames and seven hopes are watching. You must make some achievements. We are planning a spy offensive against Goryeo. Before that, you must find all the spies in the Goryeo City in Chang'an City to ensure that the auxiliary machine plan is feasible..."

When Li Shimin spoke seriously, his uncle and nephew stood up and listened honestly. The establishment of the Imperial City Department is definitely not a whim, but is really useful.

"Grandfather, grandson thinks that the second uncle coordinates the overall situation and that the affairs of Goryeo can be left to grandson to carry out separately."

While Li Shimin was happy, Li Xiang started planning something else in her heart. She would never be able to stew it all in a pot and mix it up like this. He knew very well what Li Tai was. If he worked with such a person, he would probably not be able to do anything. He would keep asking for trouble for himself. In addition to internal friction, the Imperial City Department would probably just let others laugh at it...

When Li Shimin talked about the spy in Goryeo, Li Tai frowned. He was just thinking about military power in the court, but now he remembered that it was not an ordinary yamen. Li Shimin was keeping an eye on it so tightly. If there was no result, good things would turn into bad things in the end.

Now that Li Xiang took the initiative to take over this task, Li Tai was very happy. If this kid could really do the work and it would not affect our rights, he could hand it over to him. After all, in Li Tai's eyes, it was imperative to arrest spies from Goryeo, and he was afraid of his failure. This was a hard and tiring job, and he could give it to Li Xiang.

"It's not impossible for you to take on this job alone, you have to give me a time limit."

Li Shimin said with a smile that he likes children and grandchildren like Li Xiang the most, who are fighting and motivated, but it is not just what you say. Just saying a few empty words will definitely not fool this emperor forever.

"My grandson issued a military order and would be able to dig out all the spies from Goryeo within two months. If there is any violation, grandson will be willing to bear any punishment."

Li Xiang's voice was sonorous and powerful. At this moment, Li Tai was like an outsider. Seeing Li Shimin and Li Xiang acting here, he also hoped to say such things like Li Xiang, but he knew how much he had. If he was given two months, he would definitely not have the ability to complete this matter. However, he didn't believe that Li Xiang could complete it, so he watched happily beside him. If you can't finish it, let's see how your father punishes you.

"A gentleman's words are as good as hell. If you are a child, I will not punish you too much..."

"Father, although Xiang'er is a child, this has already involved major affairs in the court. I hope my father will think twice."

When Li Shimin said that he wanted to excuse Li Xiang, Li Tai immediately stood up.

Li Shimin looked at the second son with some dissatisfaction. He was the most satisfied with the second son in the past, but I don’t know when it started, but this kid has less and less long-term vision to do things.

"My second uncle is right. It must be rewarded and punished clearly for major matters related to the court. The grandson is willing to accept any punishment from his grandfather."

Li Xiang is not a good-looking guy either. Since we talk about punishment, we must have rewards. If there is only punishment but no reward, there are some things that are unreasonable. Punishment and reward exist with each other.

"You guys are really talking. If you do it within two months, I will ask you for a good marriage. Then I will put down my old face and marry a Cui daughter for you."

When Li Shimin said this, Li Tai next to him was shocked. The five surnames and seven hopes did not intermarry with the royal family. This was also said before, but if Li Shimin really put down this old face, the Qinghe Cui family would not dare to disobey. If this kid had the help of the Qinghe Cui family, then in the future...

Li Tai also married the daughter of a big family, but compared with the Cui family in Qinghe, the difference is not a little worse. If the two of them meet in the future, they will have a good or bad relationship in terms of external support.

"Father..."

Li Tai wanted to ask what the punishment was, but after seeing Li Shimin's dissatisfied eyes, Li Tai swallowed the rest.

"I know what you want to say. If you can dig up the spies from Goryeo within two months, I will also give you this opportunity to ask your son to marry a noble daughter of the five surnames and Qiwang, but if it fails, I will not ask for much. Just like the last time, I will punish you with one million yuan."

After hearing this, Li Tai really didn't dare to say anything. He always had millions of dollars in money. You guys were really crazy...
