Li Shimin was a little unsure.
Although he felt that Chang He should still respect and love him very much, after all, what he was going to do was the kind of earth-shattering thing!
Chang He, can you agree?
If it cannot be subdued, wouldn’t it be directly exposed?
The risk is extremely high!
"There is no need to worry, Your Highness."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand with a smile and said,
"No one can refuse the merit of support, especially a military general like Chang He who is neither high nor low in rank."
"In a big way, he is guarding the palace gate for the emperor, but in a small way, he is just a gatekeeper!"
"I'm afraid he himself will be dissatisfied with his situation and want to go further."
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"According to the teacher's words, how can this Chang be subdued?" he asked, "To lure him with benefits? To seduce him with beauty?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
“House prices in Chang’an are expensive!”
He smiled and said,
"When Chang He first came to Chang'an, he must have been short of money and couldn't afford a house, so he had to live with soldiers."
"When he needs money the most, His Highness should help him in times of need, make good friends with him, and then slowly test him."
Li Shimin suddenly realized.
"Give him a house?" He touched his chin and said, "That's not difficult."
"No, that target is too big and easily attracts attention."
Xu Fenglei shook his head,
"Chang He, as the guard of Xuanwu Gate, has a particularly sensitive position, so as I said just now, he can only develop into a hidden stake and launch the most critical blow at the most critical moment!"
"At any other time, no one can discover that you are in contact with him. Even if there is an accident, this person must not be used!"
Li Shimin's expression condensed.
"I understand." He said solemnly, "You continue."
"My suggestion is that if you give gold, it's best to make it into ornamental items, such as knives and swords."
Xu Fenglei said again,
"Gold is hard currency. You can watch it when you want to watch it. When you need money, you can melt it and change it immediately."
"The most important thing is that it is difficult to find out where it came from. If someone asks, he can tell him that it was captured in battle, or it is ancestral property."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I saw that he likes to use knives, so I secretly gave him a golden knife to let him touch and test it out!"
He made a decision immediately,
"Let someone build it tomorrow! There are not many opportunities to send carbon in the snow. Once he has established a firm foothold in Chang'an, this golden sword will not be so effective."
For such a small amount of money, he didn't even have to blink an eye.
"There is one more important thing, I think it's time to mention it to you."
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"Just like this emergency incident, from the time Du Ruhui was beaten to the time you were summoned to the palace to bear the emperor's wrath, we had no information and no preparation."
"This is obviously a sudden attack by Prince Qi against us, and it must have been planned. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get Concubine Yin De to cooperate."
"If we hadn't analyzed it in advance, His Highness might have fallen into extreme passivity. He would have lost his dignity and knelt down to apologize, or he would have lost his Sacred Heart!"
"This is very important."
Li Shimin looked solemn.
really.
If it weren't for Xu Fenglei's accurate prediction, he would not have known why his father summoned him to the palace, let alone a perfect on-the-spot reaction.
This time, he was treated like a blind man!
"To achieve great things, there is another principle."
Xu Fenglei stretched out a finger and said,
"I want to know what everyone is doing, but no one knows what I am doing or will do."
“Only in this way can we remain invincible.”
"Therefore, it is urgent for His Highness to form a strong and sophisticated intelligence organization!"
If there is no strong intelligence system as the basis for a coup, it would be like a blind man wielding a knife to kill the emperor. How funny is that?
"I do have an intelligence organization in Luoyang, but in Chang'an... I haven't been established for a long time, so I haven't made special preparations yet."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice,
"When Mr. said that, I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!"
Chang'an has always been the prince's territory, and his base camp has always been Luoyang.
"There is not much time left for Your Highness."
Xu Fenglei said slowly,
"As soon as possible! With your ability, it is not difficult to quickly organize a strong intelligence organization in Chang'an!"
"I have a list here. Please select the personnel according to the categories. You will get twice the result with half the effort."
Uh-huh.
He took out another piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin.
"Um?"
Li Shimin glanced at it and couldn't help being surprised.
The list is divided into three major categories, namely Gongnei, Chang'an, and Quan Tang.
A list that almost covers all palace maids, eunuchs, internal generals, internal ministers, ministers, foreign generals, foreign ministers, etc.!
There are also hierarchies and principles for intelligence personnel at all levels.
For example, subordinates can only contact their superiors and cannot overstep; for example, if an intelligence officer is exposed, how should he deal with the aftermath...
Wait, wait, wait, it’s extremely detailed!
It suddenly made him feel clear.
"Okay, I'll organize it according to the arrangement on this list."
Li Shimin said,
"At that time, Changsun Wuji will be fully responsible, and Sir, you will be in charge, okay?"
He has experience in engaging in intelligence.
It's nothing more than screening people and spending money.
The key point is to be able to analyze the massive amounts of information and find useful things for your own use.
Changsun Wuji used to do this in Luoyang, and he did pretty well.
"Can."
Xu Fenglei nodded and asked with a smile,
"Does Your Highness trust me so much?"
Li Shimin laughed.
"Don't trust people who you doubt, and don't trust people when you employ them. This is my purpose, Li Shimin, and I believe I will never make mistakes."
He said casually,
"Besides, my husband has already become a grasshopper on the same rope as me. Is it any wonder that I'm still afraid that my husband will betray me?"
After saying that, Li Shimin stood up.
"We have gained a lot from our discussion today!"
He cupped his hands towards Xu Fenglei and said with a smile,
"It shows that sir, I can never discover enough of your talent!"
"My husband, you are really like a fish in water!"
"Your Highness, you are so complimentary." Xu Fenglei stood up and returned the greeting.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
Li Shimin waved his hand, and then whispered,
"This Master Sun, if you have a good relationship with him, find a way to keep him for a few more days."
"Wugu hasn't been in good health lately. I want to ask him to help me take a look and take care of myself."
Xu Fenglei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is not a difficult matter!"
He said coolly,
"With my relationship with Master Sun, it won't be difficult even if I force him to stay here for half a month!"
"If you have any needs, just ask and I will tell him."
Li Shimin smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll bother you, sir."
He handed over his hand again and turned to leave.
tomorrow.
It's time for him to turn retreat into advance, and turn passivity into initiative!
