"Third brother...how did you do it?" Li Tai asked, looking at Li Ke like a god.
"How did you do it?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.
"Just...how did you manage to review the memorial so quickly?" Li Tai asked in disbelief.
"After reading the memorial, come up with the best plan, and then write it down. How difficult is it?" Li Ke said matter-of-factly.
Li Tai: "..."
If I hadn't been in prison for a month, if I hadn't been sitting here all day long, I would have believed what you said.
The problem is...his third brother did this in front of him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Li Tai's outlook on life was shattered at this moment. Am I a fool? Am I stupid? Otherwise, why are there such big differences between people?
Suddenly, Li Tai shivered in excitement. He didn't know what he thought of. He quickly raised his head and looked at Li Ke and said, "Since third brother, you handle state affairs so quickly, you shouldn't need my help."
"Why don't you use it? If you read one memorial for me, I will read one less. You said you came to help me. Don't even think about running away. I'm warning you." Li Ke stared.
Li Tai: "..."
"Okay, you go back quickly. We have to go to court tomorrow morning. I went out to play with Changle and the others today. I'm tired. I want to rest early." Li Ke yawned and stretched. .
"Oh." Li Tai replied in a daze, then turned around and left.
After leaving Liangyi Hall, the cold wind blew outside, and Li Tai's somewhat dazed little mind came to his senses. No, Third Brother, I haven't even eaten yet!
Just looking at the closed Liangyi Hall behind him, Li Tai couldn't help but think of the scene where Li Ke was dealing with the memorial just now.
The third brother finished the work that he hadn't finished all day long in a quarter of an hour.
This... Li Tai is not feeling well right now. Does he think he is too stupid? His advisers, as well as his father, emperor and mother often praise him for his intelligence. Is this true?
With my brain... I actually wanted to be an emperor? No wonder Third Brother once told me to be careful of those staff who kept brainwashing him. Before, he thought these staff were thinking about him, but now it seems... He was too stupid to see it. No wonder Third Brother had to remind him. he.

In a house in Chang'an City, a man quickly entered the house with several pieces of information in his hand.
Inside the room were the captains of the five veterans' camps in Chang'an, as well as some of the political commissar team, waiting for them.
"How is it?" After one of the political commissars received the information, several captains immediately asked.
"It has been confirmed. There is definitely something wrong with this caravan." The political commissar asked immediately after looking at the information in his hand.
"Tell me about it." A captain asked with a ferocious expression.
"According to the information we have found from some merchants, these people claim to be caravans from Shiwei, north of Youzhou. They mainly sell animal skins from Shiwei, a few good horses, ginseng from Shiwei, etc. Precious Chinese medicinal materials." The political commissar said.
The Shiwei Tribe was a tribe originally attached to the Eastern Turks. After the Eastern Turks were eliminated by the Tang Dynasty, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but the distance was far away. Currently, they occupy the territory of Jilin, eastern Heilongjiang, the entire northeastern part of Inner Mongolia, and the entire Daxinganling Mountains. , Xiaoxing'anling Mountains are all within the territory of the other party. In later generations, there was a port town in Inner Mongolia called this name.
"We received news from near Chang'an four days ago. News came from several service areas located on the main official roads in Chang'an, as well as from several of our intelligence points set up on roadside stalls. Several people in this caravan were The shopkeeper is extremely interested in the surrounding environment, not only the surrounding environment, but also everything that happens around Chang'an."
"And I also asked them in a formulaic way about the source of the massive increase in pig iron production near Chang'an. Although they said it was their first time to do business in Datang, so they wanted to know some news near Chang'an, but this information The staff at the station are all specially trained, and they can clearly distinguish between what is a cliché and what is an understanding of the situation in Chang'an."
"The first intelligence officer who discovered the caravan problem immediately passed the news to the next service area, and then the personnel in the second service area made tentative counter-arguments to confirm each other with the intelligence personnel at the first station. After that, we caught several doubts.”
"They had several slightly different stories about their origins and location. Although they also paid attention to the prices of herbs and other aspects of Chang'an, they were extremely interested in the production of pig iron and His Highness the King of Qin. ."
"Later, through mutual comparisons in several service areas and intelligence stations, we found that the people in this caravan were all strong men in their twenties to thirty years old. They were all very burly, and they often observed the surrounding situation and whether they were aware of people's health. They are very wary of goods that accidentally approach their caravan.”
"So, the relevant information was sent to us. When the other party entered Chang'an City, gangs controlled by two battalions located near the city gate and near the West Market, which mainly deals in medicinal materials, followed and observed. Now please invite the third and second battalions The battalion commander will tell you the situation." The political commissar said.
"I'll come first. When the other party entered several of our markets, they stopped by and inquired about some information about the courtyards rented to caravans in Qunxianfang near Jinguangmen. They found four houses in total. Okay." The captain of the second battalion said.
"Our people inquired about the information from the people at Yahang. Several of the guys at Yahang said that they mainly inquired about the price. In addition, they were very interested in the terrain near the living environment. The excuse was that they were afraid of To offend the senior officials of Chang’an who live nearby or something like that.”
"In the end, the courtyard they chose was not closer to the West Market, but closer to the city gate, and there was a two-story building in this courtyard, which was very convenient for observing the surrounding environment."
"Let me add that the other party entered our territory not long ago. Our people observed them all day. They went to observe several of the most important shopping malls under His Highness's name, and finally inquired about His Highness King Qin's After frequenting Youjian Mall in Shanhefang, they observed it for two days."
"In the past two days, their people have inquired about His Highness Prince Qin in many surrounding shops. Several shop owners on the streets have even taken the initiative to come to us and tell us that they don't think these people look like good people. He is still asking about His Highness's whereabouts, so let us keep an eye on him." The captain of the third battalion also said.
"Yes, the waiter of a restaurant here in Qunxianfang also came to us secretly and said that these people had ordered meals at their restaurant, but every time he arrived at the door, someone was guarding them and stopped them. No, Let them go in because they brought the food in themselves." The captain of the second battalion added.
