Chapter 196: Liu Gong’s clever plan: The prince leads the army (in the middle)

"Jiang Liangyuan, am I a person like Xu Jingzong?"

Jiang Bier shook her head.

"Then let me continue talking," Liu Rengui took a sip of tea and continued to say.

When Li Zhi saw the memorial, he returned to his anger, but he still summoned all the ministers to discuss it. Liu Rengui did not take this matter seriously. Yaozhou was just a trivial matter. As long as the court forgives Liang Jishou's crimes and continues to give him thousands of soldiers, there is no need to make any other changes and the city of Yaozhou can be taken back immediately. Of course, this is impossible.

Suddenly he thought of something. Speaking of this, he glanced at the people around him. Li Wei knew that he would let the irrelevant eunuchs and guards retreat, but Liu Rengui continued to drink tea. He was not a rough man, nor was he accused by Yang Sijian. A very knowledgeable general. Li Zhi summoned him back, not only for the prime minister, but because Xu Jingzong fell down, everyone pushed him, and even the matter of his tampering with history books was revealed. Li Zhi also issued an order to ask Liu Rengui to re-compile the historical books written by Xu Jingzong. The compilation of historical books was highly valued in this era. Without knowledge and morality, it is impossible to participate.

There are also disadvantages, because he has a great ups and downs throughout his life, he is very brave on the battlefield, and he is relatively smooth when dealing with government affairs. When he was dealing with the government affairs with Dai Zhide, he was sued and Dai Zhide argued with reason, and Liu Rengui often said it beautifully. Therefore, he was a prime minister for a month and received praise. But in general, it is still fair.

He just drank tea and didn't say that someone would have to retreat. In the end, only Jiang Bier was left, and even Yao Yuanchong and Xue Na retreated, and Liu Rengui continued to talk.

After Liu Rengui returned to the capital, Di Renjie found him.

Xinxing was a prime minister and was very popular with the emperor. It was to see if he could entrust Liu Rengui to inquire about some information. After all, if the emperor and the prince remained in stalemate like this, he was not an aide, and it was not a good thing for the country and the people. But Di Renjie had little power, but it was not a small power. Even Wu Zetian did not understand why Li Zhi was dissatisfied with his son, and Di Renjie had no way to investigate.

Liu Rengui was also confused. He was in Longzhou, not Yaozhou, and he didn't understand everything about the capital. Moreover, Di Renjie told the truth in the original form, but Liu Rengui just smiled bitterly. After hearing this, he didn't get into the water, and he didn't get into the water.

But he was also very surprised. It turned out that the prince made all the bamboo paper, cotton, and salt drying was made by the prince alone, and had nothing to do with others, including the queen. He scratched his head desperately and asked, "How does the prince know about this?"

"I heard it in the market."

"Bo... (I originally wanted to say nothing, but I didn't say it out loud, so I made a sound), Di Sicheng, do you believe it?"

Di Renjie also shook his head. Just one thing sounds like, but can he hear so many things?

He was smooth in handling political affairs, but he was not smooth in the prince, so he directly told the matter. Li Wei shut up and looked at Bier with suspicious eyes, so he said: "Gong-gong Liu, Gu said that Gu knew what happened a thousand years later, do you believe it?"

"Don't believe it."

"So it's what you get from a lonely dream, do you believe it?"

"Don't believe it."

"Then there is no way to explain it."

After saying that, he was a little worried. Di Renjie and Liu Rengui were suspicious. So once the mother knew all the truth, would she doubt it? Almost no need to consider the answer. Smart and capable, her mother may be slightly above them.

Liu Rengui did not ask, but he had another explanation in his heart. There was a very amazing strange man who secretly helped the prince. This was also heard from Di Renjie. Of course, even the strange man may not know so much. Some of them were heard by the prince, and some were also thought of by the prince. This explanation was reasonable. This is a good thing. After all, he supports the prince. The more capable the prince is, the value of support he has.

Both of them are extremely smart people. After a careful analysis, they immediately thought of a consequence. It is possible that the emperor knew some news. It is possible that cotton was given to the queen. However, the prince added industries privately, and these industries could also gain a lot of wealth. Liu Rengui slightly rejected the latter, but did not deny it completely. After all, the prince had wealth and could do a lot of things. Besides, the prince was not luxurious in life. The emperor was in full swing in the spring and autumn, and even the prince had no strength and could not protect himself. Proper operation of wealth was also a kind of power.

But in the end, there was a mistake, thinking that the emperor knew about cotton. The prince and the queen joined forces to undermine the emperor's rights, and the emperor would inevitably be unhappy when he knew about the former. Moreover, the matter of knowing the former was more complicated than those of the latter, and it was easier to leak news. Even the news that the queen himself deliberately released was always very repulsive to Wu Zetian and Liu Rengui. It is not ruled out that the people around Li Wei were accidentally leaked.

So he asked the group to retreat, leaving only Jiang Bier behind. Liu Rengui admired this little girl very much. If this girl didn't believe it, there would be no one around the prince who could trust.

"But what does it have to do with the lonely expedition?"

"Let me tell you," Liu Rengui was very proud of this. He was mainly bullying the emperor and didn't understand military affairs very much. Of course, the prince was the emperor's son and could not say it. Then he said it.

In a furious manner, Li Zhi wanted to send an envoy to Kunzhou to capture Liang Jishou and behead him.

Liu Rengui had a sudden inspiration at this time, and then stepped forward and said, "Can you accept the report?"

"Liu Qing, come on."

"I came up with a clever plan, it is of great importance..."

This is a court meeting, and many officials are in the court, but some things cannot be known to the low-level officials. So Li Zhi summoned the prime ministers and the six ministers of the ministers to Yanying Hall to discuss matters. Liu Rengui asked: "Your Majesty and you all know the reason for Liang Jishou's defeat. I just want to ask one thing, how many people can not be moved in the face of such wealth?"

Some people want to say something that a gentleman doesn’t talk about profit, but he can’t speak out in the end.

This is not a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. There is really a ten thousand dollars in front of you. Many of these ministers are honest people, and many people are not greedy. But how many people can’t be moved by millions of dollars? Even the emperor was moved!

Not to mention anything else, one sugar or one salt can get taxes of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. The Ministry of Revenue began to set up a permanent salt and iron envoy (before Kaiyuan, there was something to do, and if there was nothing to do, it would be collected. There was a salt and iron envoy, but it was a temporary measure). In order to obtain relevant official positions, countless officials began to fight. Because of the oil and water, it was only hundreds of thousands of yuan. Just ask directly, how much can you be greedy?

Li Jingxuan and Liu Rengui have always been disagreeable, so he asked: "So I ask you, why didn't Liang Jishou report to the court?"

"How can I report it if the matter has not been revealed? I really got it. Tens of thousands of people know about this. Liang Jishou may have a private pocket, but dare to embezzle it all? It's just that he wants to have a private pocket. Who can go to the Anxi City supervision of Liaoren? It's better not to report it."

Li Zhi laughed in anger and said, "Then Liang Jishou not only has no mistakes, but has made achievements?"

"There must be something that has happened, but Liang Jishou has some wonderful uses. Let me listen to me." Liu Rengui did not immediately say the reason for leaving Liang Jishou, but changed the topic and asked: "In fact, Yaozhou is irrelevant. Even if Yaozhou is lost, it will be recaptured soon. Besides, some Liaoman and Meng Jian and other Liao people are already in the form of water and fire. But everyone, can you guarantee who will not go to Yaozhou and not be moved by this wealth? And the matter is very simple. The reason why Liang Jishou got lost was that he went straight to the mountain range from Anxi City. If he followed the three Siyuan Road in Jimo, would it be easier to find the treasure? If His Majesty asked me to go to Yaozhou, the army might not move, but it is difficult to guarantee that he would not send a scout to inquire. If he could not find it, he would not have lost his losses. If he found it, he would report to His Majesty. How would His Majesty think?"

"Isn't I a greedy person?" Li Zhi was so angry.

"Your Majesty is not a greedy person, but don't forget it. The treasury is very empty..."

One sentence hit Li Zhi's heart, and Li Zhi remained silent. This is better. He did not make too false with his ministers. Liang Jishou suffered heavy losses and was not found. If he found it, there were so many people who could bring back the treasure. Even if he was not moved, there would be ministers in the court who would be moved. He would not be able to keep his thoughts and would not be shaken.

"So who do you think will be elected for the war?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why?" Even Dai Zhide was anxious and asked immediately.

"Only when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that when he knew the truth, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have food to eat and clothes to wear, is His Majesty's greatest wealth, the greatest wealth of the court, and see through the essence of wealth."

Li Zhi was so angry that he groaned again. This old Liu was very ignorant. He forced his son to support him in front of everyone. The words were out of the blue, and he was not even as good as his son! And this son really saw through the truth of wealth? So why did he build a big vault?

However, if his son went to war, it was hard to say whether he could win the battle, but he would not be greedy. The vault he had made was quite large, which was enough to make him do many "big things". Besides, this son has a very good skill in his evil ways. He can't make millions of money a year, but he can come up with many methods. Over the years, he can make millions of money accumulating. There is no need to take other risks for this wealth.

Therefore, Li Zhi has a love and hate for Li Wei. What he hates is that his son's big vault makes him restless. What he loves is that his son has a reputation, is good at employing people, is literary, and has some insights in martial arts. He will also create a lot of wealth and see through the truth in many things. In the future, he will be better than himself as an emperor. If he handed over the country to him, he will be stronger than himself.

After humming, he immediately said, "No, the prince is sick, how can he go to war?"

If you hate and hate, you can control the general direction. Even if you support your second son, the best candidate in your heart is still the eldest son. This is a marching battle. What if there is a mistake?

"Your Majesty, you must not underestimate Your Highness's military talent. In the battle of Tubo, Your Highness only read the file once, and his views were better than those of ministers and others. Liang Jishou moved forward. Although the prince did not say much, he only said three points. Attacking the heart is the best, attacking the city is the best, and governing it. Tubo will not send troops, which is better than thousands of words." Liu Rengui. Now Liu Rengui believes in the prince very much, and believes it to a point of superstition.

Li Zhi groaned again, feeling very uncomfortable. Seeing that, this is the influence of his son in the minister's heart. The civil minister said that his son is kind and loving, and the military general said that his son is superior to others!

"General Liu, you have killed the orphan..." Li Wei felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He thought to himself that I have the military talent of a god-horse, and I am better than you. I guess even half of Liang Jishou's ability is less than you. I am better than you. I will use my thighs to your little finger. Didn't you push me into the fire pit?

"Your Highness, don't be humble!" Liu Rengui couldn't let him understand. Even if Li Wei directly said that I was not a god, he wouldn't believe it. He said, "Let me continue to talk."

Li Wei had to listen down, but in fact he felt very miserable. When he was talking about Dafeichuan, he was just an unintentional act and wanted to be good at the Tang Dynasty. But he didn't expect that he would become a sin and would not survive. He felt very bitter in his heart, even more bitter than taking Coptis chinensis, and he almost didn't even have the intention to continue listening.

Liu Rengui naturally didn't know what Li Wei was thinking, and he was very content with the clever plan he came up with, so he continued to talk.

Then he said to Li Zhi: "Not only that, have you ever thought that with the remnants of Meng Jian and Shunman, can you take down Yaozhou City?"

Liang Jishou's defeat was defeated by Devil Mountain, not by Liaoman, and his military talent was still acceptable. Before leaving, he left an army stationed in Yaozhou City, not an empty city. All the people here asked this question, so who can't remember?

Li Zhi asked, "Are you talking about Tubo?"

"It was Tubo, and the Tubo people also sent troops. If the prince went there in person, would the Tubo people have sent more troops to deal with His Highness?"
