Fortunately, Chen Aizhi was unwilling to dig coal, so he was very obedient to what Chen Zhengtai said.

The Chen family's industry is too big now. Thousands of Chen's children have family rules. If Chen Zhengtai has a good impression of you, he might as well ask you to be responsible for a large industry, casually, hundreds of thousands of dollars a year of money flows out of your hands. Countless people around him are flattering, and tens of thousands of craftsmen are commanding every aspect. That is really awesome.

But if you make a mistake, you might be sent to Zheng County. Every day, you are covered in dirt and have a pitiful little wage, which is extremely miserable.

None of the Chen family dares to question Chen Zhengtai now. It is precisely because of this that people can change your life with a thought. In this era, the blood relationship between the family cannot be separated from. Once you leave the family, it means that you are nothing.

Compared with other teaching assistants, people can't do it here at best and just leave with a cap, but Chen Aizhi has no way to go, so he listened carefully to Chen Zhengtai's explanation and did not dare to relax for a moment.

He probably knew in his heart that the head of the family must have something to do, but what he wanted to do. Chen Aizhi didn't want to think too much, just wanted to get things done.

Chen Zhengtai finished the explanation, then smiled and stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll take the lead these days. I'll train these 300 people well. I'll be of great use."

As he said that, Chen Zhengtai straightforwardly went home.

The Chen family's new house occupies a considerable land and is located in a prosperous area in Erpigou. After returning to his small courtyard, Princess Sui'an was already waiting.

The couple disappeared for many days, and they worked hard that night. The next day, Chen Zhengtai excitedly began to ask his third uncle to conduct market research.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the entire Chang'an City has been particularly lively recently. Because of the lively, the market is also prosperous, especially because His Majesty returns safely, which makes many people secretly relieved. They originally thought that the upcoming chaos had disappeared invisibly.

For the people of the world, what does it have to do with who is the emperor?

Everyone just hopes that the world will be peaceful.

My third uncle also took advantage of the coming of New Year and began to visit various families in Chang'an.

In fact, at this time, my third uncle felt a lot.

Thinking back then, the third uncle had to visit around at this time, but at that time the Chen family was weak and sent the door to each family. Most of the other party sent a not-so-important elder in the family to come out, and said a few words to each other, and then they parted.

But now, even though Chen Zhengtai offended many people in the court, whenever he went out to visit, whenever he saw the door sticker, several core direct descendants in his family would come to the middle gate to greet him. He would have to prepare fine wine and delicacies and had to keep them for a night banquet before he could leave.

Even if it is a family with relatively tense relationship on weekdays, the etiquette that should be done must be done.

What my third uncle is best at is these things that come and go.

Most people really can't figure out the things about the clans, how did the aristocratic tribes in Chang'an City come into being, what characters have appeared since then, what connections have been with the ancestors of the Chen family, or whether they have ever had in-laws, and hundreds of aristocratic tribes living in Chang'an, all of which are very close to each other. These complicated things are really not easy to explain clearly.

Only living fossils like the third uncle can know this well.

When the New Year was approaching, he ran excitedly to find Chen Zhengtai and said directly: "I have really found out what you arranged for me to ask. The aristocratic families and some giants do have their own sources of information. Just talk about what happened in Xuzhou some days ago. Now, most of the families know what happened in their hearts. I deliberately tried them... Haha..."

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "So many families and tycoons, everyone has secretly tinkered with this, which has taken great pains to do."

"There is nothing more than this. Now the news is not only valuable, but also deadly." Uncle San coughed and continued, "Let's talk about what happened in the grassland. If Pei Ji had learned the news early, how could it be so far? Now that he has been deposed, it is reported that he might be exiled again."

Chen Zhengtai was silent for Pei Ji, and after all, he was a minister. If it were the previous exile, it would be Li Shimin's beating him, but this exile would be purely a suicide!

When you beat me, I will clean up and I will soon be restored to my post. If I commit suicide, I am afraid I will never come back in my life!

When Chen Zhengtai thought of this famous Mr. Pei who wanted to squat in a mountain Gada, he felt... quite happy.

"I understand." Chen Zhengtai only responded lightly on his face, and then said, "It seems that our Chen family is going to hurry up too."

Time flies quickly, and the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye!

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Zhengtai took Princess Sui'an to the palace to meet him, and visited Li Shimin together, exchanged a few greetings, and then Princess Sui'an went to see Empress Changsun and her mother.

Chen Zhengtai stayed, smiled and chatted with Li Shimin for a few words, and then said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I heard about something."

Li Shimin is in a good mood. He is now waiting for the Dou family to be searched every day. The search has begun. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple seem to be doing a lot of work and have used a lot of people. However, the Dou family's industry is too big and it is not so easy to liquidate.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Chen Zhengtai said, "I heard that everyone in Chang'an is now running posts in various states."

The smile on Li Shimin's face dropped and he immediately became alert: "Yi Chuan, what are they trying to do?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "I think I hope to collect information from all states in the world."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and then glanced at Zhang Qian: "Why is there no news from Baiqi?"

"This..." Zhang Qian was a little confused, so he hurriedly said: "Slave..."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Okay, shut up."

Zhang Qian asked for something boring.

Li Shimin immediately said, "I didn't expect this. It's just that these people want to make their eyes and ears smart, but it's probably worthy of being alert to the placement of spies in various states."

This is the truth.

If you aristocratic and tycoons send people to various states, wouldn’t this become one spy after another? If the world is stable, wouldn’t these spys become a major concern for the court in the future?

In fact, there are also secret spies in the palace who specialize in inquiring about information, that is, the hundreds of cavalry that Li Shimin directly controls. But if everyone in the world has to make a hundred cavalry, is that great?

Li Shimin took this matter naturally and said, "If I issued an order, can I stop it?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Chen Zhengtai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty think about it. There are too many aristocratic clans and tycoons involved. This is a secret spy. It's not easy for the court to eliminate it."

This is the truth. Not to mention these people, all of them are extraordinary characters. Even if they are explicitly prohibited, how can they be prohibited?

Is it not possible to pass on a letter?

But Li Shimin knew very well that such things were hard to guard against.

Li Shimin thought about it and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really worrying that these people are spreading news everywhere behind them. Alas, if all the aristocratic families in the world are like the Chen family, I can be worry-free. Look at the Chen family, be content with myself and never do such things."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Li Shimin looked up at Chen Zhengtai and said, "What?"

"My son dare not hide it. In fact, the Chen family... are also doing it..."

Li Shimin: “…”

This is a bit shameless. Your Chen family is also doing it. Then your Chen family head came to complain and said that others are doing it?

Chen Zhengtai quickly explained: "The Chen family has no choice..."

Before Chen Zhengtai finished speaking, Li Shimin said with a cold face: "This is a blaming me. I cannot stop these things, so you not only want to establish the post newspaper, but you are afraid that you will have more eyes and ears than them, right?"

"Actually..." Chen Zhengtai was a little embarrassed. He couldn't say anything about this, so he wandered for a long time before saying, "Actually, I want to prevent such a thing from happening."

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai strangely: "What's the reason?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty will know when you are here, and it is difficult for me to explain for a while."

Li Shimin nodded, but felt even more melancholy in his heart.

Although Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was actually feeling anxious deep in his heart.

In fact, although the emperor is so glorious, how many dynasties and emperors have appeared in this land of China since the fall of the Han Dynasty? I am afraid that ordinary people can no longer count it, but basically not many emperors can last for three generations. People with strong soldiers and horses become emperors. When they leave, powerful ministers or generals will start to cause trouble, and then destroy the emperor's clan and replace them.

Li Shimin naturally knew that the reason for this was that even if he became the emperor, there were still many families in the world who could compete with the royal family.

In the case of a weak ruler and a strong minister, it is not surprising that such things are common.

Just talking about this secret spy, all the aristocratic races have been built in various states. These aristocratic races have deep foundations and strong strengths. They are just secret spys now, just to inquire about the news. However, over time, their confidants are in the local area. With the support of the aristocratic race, they are bound to contact the local prefectures and county magistrates and local tyrants!

What's more, once these people have news that are similar to those in the palace, or even some things, their news channels are faster than those in the court, so... they will inevitably be too big in the future.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Chen Zhengtai didn't dare to say anything anymore, because this matter could not be explained clearly to Li Shimin in a short while.

However, after a while, an eunuch came and said, "Mr. Changsun asked for a meeting."

Today is the end of the year, and the royal relatives will enter the palace. Li Shimin nodded lightly and said, "Call him in."

Changsun Wuji has been in a good mood these days, and his face is always full of smiles, and he seems to be a little lighter when walking. Because his son finally came back from the annual leave, he learned that Changsun Chong is now studying every day and has great ambitions. He is thinking about being at the top of the imperial examination, so he is naturally happy.

Thinking back to the time when everyone mentioned his parents, Sun Chong, had a change of emotion. Who would have thought that his son would be so steady and ambitious now!

Our Changsun family is today.

He entered the hall excitedly, saluted first, and then said with a smile: "Erlang's complexion is much better than before. My Tang Dynasty is prosperous..."

Li Shimin suppressed his hand and interrupted him. He looked at Changsun Wuji who was happy and said, "I'm here to ask you, how many eyes and ears are there in your Changsun family in the world?"

This problem is too sudden and frightening!

Changsun Wuji's smile froze suddenly, and he was sweating profusely!

He blinked and carefully glanced at Chen Zhengtai beside him, but saw Chen Zhengtai give him a move, and he looked like he didn't resist.

So Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "This, Erlang... no, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation, my...my family..."

"It seems that your Changsun family is also building a hundred cavalry." Li Shimin's face turned pale.

Speaking of building a hundred cavalry, it is not a joke. The hundred cavalry of the Tang Dynasty and the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty are the same. They are specialized in inquiring about information in the palace, which is a privilege that the emperor enjoys!

Li Shimin said this, which was like killing Changsun Wuji's heart!

Changsun Wuji was so shocked that his face turned a little white, and he hurriedly said, "My...My..."

"Okay." Li Shimin said: "No need to defend himself. Today is the New Year, so there is no need to make such a fuss! Those who want to build a hundred cavalry are not your Changsun family. Even if I want to punish me, can I punish all the aristocratic tribes in the world?"

After Li Shimin said that, he stood up and glanced at Chen Zhengtai: "Do you think you have a solution?"

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Yes."

"Then I will wait and see." Li Shimin said seriously: "I want to see how you eliminated it."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and Chen Zhengtai again. He felt complicated when he listened to the conversation between the two. He didn't know who had cheated him, so why did His Majesty suddenly care about this?

This emperor's heart is unpredictable. Who knows what His Majesty is thinking? It's a big deal, and it's a small thing. So in a state of anxiety, he hurriedly met Li Shimin. Seeing that Chen Zhengtai was about to resign, he hurriedly wanted to say goodbye.

He and Chen Zhengtai left the palace together, but saw Chen Zhengtai relaxed all over, so he leaned over and said, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly pay such attention to this? Is that damn Zhang Qian..."

"Maybe it is." Chen Zhengtai said: "But don't worry, Mr. Changsun, we are gentlemen and have not planned to rebel and rebel. What are you afraid of?"

“…”

Changsun Wuji almost jumped up and said, "You are open-minded. I am different. I feel that the disaster is coming. You don't think about it. Li Erlang... No, what kind of person is Your Majesty? Although his temperament also has a loyal and courageous side, once he notices something, he can do anything."
