"Some corrupt officials must be sanctimonious people. They are good at disguising themselves, such as dressing themselves up as good people. In fact, they have been blackmailing people secretly. Since the lord is suspicious of them, it is better to investigate."
Li Chengqian said to Li Moyun with some embarrassment: "Military advisor, I don't have the right manpower."
Li Moyun: "Your Highness, aren't there people from Baiqisi sent by His Majesty? They are the most suitable. Let them investigate this matter. If anything goes wrong, His Highness will not be blamed."
Li Chengqian thought for a while following Li Moyun's words: "This is a good idea. I'll ask Zhang Xin to check it out later."
Zhang Xin?
It turns out that the people around Li Chengqian are called this, Li Shimin's Baiqisi.
The two chatted about having dinner that night, and when Li Chengqian was about to leave, he saw Zhang Xin coming in a hurry.
"Your Highness, Mr. Mo Yun"
Li Chengqian: "Why is Zhang Xin so flustered?"
Zhang Xin: "Your Highness, you asked me to investigate the Mingzun Holy Sect in the afternoon. Today the three leaders of the Mingzun Holy Sect paid a visit to Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang and stayed at the Princess's residence until night before returning."
Li Chengqian and Li Moyun looked at each other. Their initial plan seemed to be unworkable.
Li Moyun: "It seems that Her Royal Highness has been talking to the three masters for a day. There must be something important. If you investigate rashly, it will cause some trouble."
Zhang Xin looked at Li Moyun with suspicion. He didn't like Li Chengqian finding this counselor very much. He didn't say anything due to his status and responsibilities. The status of the Mingzun Holy Sect in Chang'an City was much higher than that of the Buddhist and Taoist families.
Furthermore
Baiqisi also has connections with Minzun Shengjiao, especially since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued a secret decree a few days ago to assist Minzun Shengjiao and Jinyiwei in executing a special plan.
Zhang Xin wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, forget it and just let the prince mess around with this Li Moyun. Anyway, he was only following the orders of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It was his duty to protect Li Chengqian. Unless Li Chengqian inherited the throne, Baiqisi I won't care so much.
It was not the Jinyiwei who monitored the officials. Baiqisi relied on Jinyiwei's structure to develop rapidly, and secretly did a lot of things for Li Shimin.
Baiqisi itself was the origin of Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, and Zhang Xin also stood out from it. The military system and welfare changes made by Jinyang Princess Li Mingda over the years made Zhang Xin very fond of her.
Now that Li Moyun threatened to investigate the Mingzun Holy Cult, Zhang Xin remained silent on the surface, but in his heart he became more wary of Li Moyun.
What on earth does this scholar want to do?
Li Moyun thought for a moment and said to Li Chengqian: "My lord is not as weak as Mo Yun. How about we find some civilians to join him and conduct a secret investigation?"
Li Chengqian rubbed his brow: "Whenever something related to the imperial sister always makes people have a headache, these things will trouble the military advisor."
Li Moyun: "This is Mo Yun's responsibility. It's just that I have to make preparations for some necessary needs."
"This is natural. I will ask the housekeeper to contact Mr. Mo Yun later."
Li Chengqian left, and Li Moyun picked up the teacup and drank slowly. Not long after, a man next to him walked out. If anyone saw it, they would definitely say, wasn't this the man who was standing at the door for the scholar during the Xiao Guizi incident? The man holding the umbrella?
"Master"
"What's wrong with Dazhu?"
Dazhu: "Sir, will investigating Princess Jinyang in this way attract their attention? Then it will affect the master's plan."
Li Moyun shook his head and explained to Dazhu: "You have to know sooner or later. I plan to strike first this time and drive the nails in early. When they find out, even if they are found, they have to bring out some flesh and blood." "
"Furthermore, if the location of the nail is dangerous enough, we may have the capital to negotiate."
Dazhu couldn't help but sigh. He admired Li Moyun's wisdom and other lofty ideals, which was the reason why he was willing to follow Li Moyun. However, Li Dazhu always felt that this method was completely suicidal. There was something he couldn't discuss with Princess Jinyang. After talking about it, both sides are doing it for the good of the people.
Can't figure it out
Li Moyun asked Li Dazhu: "Dazhu, have you decided who will join the Mingzun Holy Sect?"
Li Dazhu replied to Li Moyun: "It has been arranged. What do you think about the fact that some brothers are believers of the Mingzun Holy Sect?"
Li Moyun: "It is easier to infiltrate if you are a believer, but you must also be careful about the risk of being incited to rebel. After all, the Mingzun Holy Cult has a very high reputation on the surface."
Li Dazhu: "No"
"Ahem"
Li Moyun covered his heart and looked uncomfortable.
Li Dazhu looked at Li Moyun's uncomfortable look and advised Li Moyun: "Young Master's health is urgent, please rest early."
Li Moyun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'm thinking about some issues, you can go first."
"yes"
Li Dazhu left, and soon there were a few coughing sounds in Li Moyun's study.
Li Mingda went to the palace the next day and went to see Lao Li to go over his daily routine.
Loulou kiss, hug and lift high

Then start reporting back work
"Father, Xiao Sizi met with brothers Murong Xue and Zhang Qing yesterday and arranged the necessary matters."
Li Shimin: "How is the milk source plan you mentioned?"
Li Mingda patted his chest: "Ten thousand cows, and some full-time herdsmen will leave immediately next spring."
Li Shimin asked Li Mingda: "The beginning of spring is the time when these livestock reproduce. Will the loss be too great?"
Li Mingda: "This Murong Xue should also have arrangements. Besides, the losses of some livestock are not comparable to human lives."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement with Li Mingda's point of view: "It is true. A cow and a sheep are really incomparable to the life of a person. My father just likes this about our little Sizi."
Ouch?
Pretending not to know what Li Shimin was praising him for, he started to act cute.
Li Shimin rubbed Li Mingda's head and said with a fatherly look: "Xiao Sizi's decisiveness, knowing what is right and what is wrong, knowing what is important and what can be given up."
_(:з ∠)_
"Thank you for the compliment, Father. Oh, and there is something else. Once Father Mingzun Holy Cult gets involved, they will need some protective warriors and equipment and need your approval."
Apostolic warriors and paraphernalia?
"What are they going to do?"
Li Mingda scratched his head: "It seems that you want to learn martial arts like those bald and Taoist priests. It seems that sects in the West also have these. Those who protect their believers and the chief teacher are like guards."
Li Shimin began to think about the pros and cons. If you want to use Mingzun Holy Religion, you must promise some benefits. Sufficient exchange of benefits can make the relationship stronger. This is Li Shimin's own code of conduct.
Now that he needs Mingzun Holy Religion, he will naturally have to give some, but these things must have a degree.
Thinking for a long time
Li Shimin answered: "Every family has more or less private soldiers. This requirement is not too much. We can have protective warriors, and we can also approve the equipment, but we must ensure an appropriate number. What do you think, little Sizi?" "
Li Mingda nodded: "This is inevitable. They cannot be allowed to develop. There must be restrictions, especially in Chang'an."
Li Shimin: "Xiao Sizi, those people regard you as the reincarnation of a god, so why don't you say something nice to them?"
"Why do you want to help them and say nice things?"
Li Mingda asked back, which made Li Shimin a little confused: "Well, don't you think that's the right thing to do?"
Li Mingda continued to ask Li Shimin: "But they can't just recruit high-profile knights. If there are too many people, there will be trouble. When the time comes, if some common people are involved, how will that work?"
Li Shimin rubbed Li Mingda's head and said lovingly: "My little Sizi is really kind-hearted. He is thinking about the people all the time."
Li Mingda raised his face and said: "Father, it's a blessing for the people to farm. You know that they work hard to grow food for us to eat, and they also have to do corvee labor and do hard work. They know how to ask for it but don't know how to protect them. What is the difference between this and animals?”
"So Xiao Sizi, you really don't like those corrupt officials."
Li Mingda nodded: "Corrupt officials are not hateful, as long as they do not bully ordinary people. They eat food grown by the people and wear clothes made by the people. This is their food, clothing and parents. The beasts still know how to feed back. Those who don't know Those who protect the people but bully the good are worse than animals and deserve to die."
Li Shimin rubbed Li Mingda's little head again: "That is to say, you have such an idea. If your brother Gao Ming doesn't know when he will have such an opinion, I will feel relieved a lot."
"Father"
"?"
"Brother doesn't know. You can explain it to him. Why does he have to understand it by himself? What if he never understands it?"
"...."
"If you keep waiting like this, why don't you tell big brother as early as possible, so that my father doesn't have to be disappointed until the end when big brother fails to realize it."
Li Shimin: "My father really didn't expect this."
Sure enough it is so
You, Lao Li, are smart, but my eldest brother is a bit stupid. You are waiting for him to realize that he will become a great emperor. This is not exactly waiting for the iron tree to bloom.
The iron tree will naturally bloom one day. The premise is that you fertilize and water others. You cannot always wait for the iron tree to find enough nutrients on its own.
Especially since you put this iron tree in a flower pot, it’s strange that it has enough nutrients.
The flowerpots are those great Confucians, who have restricted Li Chengqian's freedom to absorb all kinds of knowledge, principles and philosophy of life from the vast land of the Tang Dynasty.
"Father, do you want to recruit my brother to talk to you?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay, but it won't be until after the New Year." He pointed at the pile of memorials on the case in front of him: "Father, I have to complete these approvals first."
Li Mingda swallowed his saliva while looking at the small mountain-like memorial, and expressed his extreme disgust in his heart: If it weren't for that cheating system, I wouldn't be bothered to compete for the position of empress. Just a few memorials can make us, a salted fish, so powerful. How far has it gone?
Why do you keep cultivating Wu Xu, a loli who has a strong desire for power? The first reason is to cultivate her, the second reason is to see how powerful the original empress is, and the third real purpose is to find a coolie so that she can feel free in the future. .
In order to limit Wu Xu's gradually expanding desires, Li Mingda also specially recruited Xu Hui and Zheng Wanli. Otherwise, who would have nothing to do to find such people to come to the house? Li Mingda did not admit that he planned to open a harem and expose his family's evil deeds. The fox is enough to mess with things.
"Father, I'm going to see my mother to pay her respects."
After Li Mingda finished speaking, he ran out like crazy (wind), fearing that Li Shimin would drag him around as a coolie at his whim.
Li Shimin thought of continuing to rub his daughter's fat face, but she ran away.
The outstretched hand froze there and did not put it down for a long time.
"Hey, Duanhong, you said I wanted to rub little Sizi's little face, but I didn't even think about it, so I ran away now."
Duan Hong smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has good stretching skills. If you don't pay attention, you will definitely not be able to catch her."
Duan Hong's words aroused Li Shimin's curiosity: "If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. The speed that Xiao Sizi ran just now was faster than a forbidden army in the palace."
Duan Hong nodded: "Your Highness is in excellent physical condition. If he devotes himself to martial arts, he will at least be a famous general like Princess Pingyang Zhao."
Princess?
Indeed
The eyebrows of his daughter are the same as those of his deceased sister. It seems that Li Mingda was possessed by his imperial sister, but he has never seen her again in these years. Could it be that the imperial sister's wisdom has been integrated into Xiao Sizi's body.
"Duan Hong, do you think the imperial sister is watching us from the sky, or is her favorite little Sizi giving her extraordinary wisdom?"
Li Shimin's words caused a lot of wrinkles to appear on Duan Hong's old face. The word "sorrow" was written all over it. Why do you think so? How do I, my subordinate, answer it? Let me just say it. It means you acknowledge ghosts and gods. Look back. I will always take pills like Emperor Qin and Han Wu did.
Don't admit it, it doesn't seem to be possible. When the time comes, Her Highness the Princess's intelligence cannot be denied. Li Shimin, who has seen Li Mingda's rage and abnormal state, will not agree with his statement, and will lose trust again.
"Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know much about ghosts and gods, but it is inevitable that His Highness is extremely intelligent. Maybe he is really a reincarnation of the gods in the sky to protect us in the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, Yuan Tianshi would not have written a letter to Qingfeng to tell Qingfeng. Please help Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The meaning of Duan Hong's words was his own guess, maybe it was true, maybe not. Anyway, the final decision was left to Li Shimin himself.
"Maybe it's true, but I don't know if the god is reincarnated. Anyway, it's right that she is the daughter of me, Li Shimin. Besides, if it is really the reincarnation of the god, then wouldn't I, Li Shimin, be the same? Otherwise, how could I have such a daughter? "
Duan Hong said with a smile: "Then the old slave may be the reincarnation of your bodyguard. It seems that the old slave may go to heaven after death."
Hey hey hey
Hahaha
The two had a tacit understanding of being master and servant for many years, and they enjoyed themselves for a while.
Then
Li Shimin looked at the pile of memorials in front of him: "I really hope that I am a god who can handle these memorials in an instant."
Helpless, Li Shimin grabbed a memorial and began to read it.
Looking at the look between his brows, it was exactly the same as Li Mingda's disgusted memorial just now.
Li Mingda rushed to the Li Zheng Palace. His mother, the eldest grandson, Queen Sun, was still watching Ruhuazhi studying every day.
This good baby has not had the chance to leave the womb recently, and is being held by his mother every day for all-round education in ideological studies.
Ruhuazhi's treatment is entirely because Li Mingda is not around and has nothing to do. Li Mingda, a normal person, is at the early stage of being a naughty child who should be worried about by his eldest grandson.
Perhaps it was due to too much emptiness that this situation occurred.
"child slave"
"Mother"
"This word was fried incorrectly"
"My son, I will correct myself now."
So miserable
Li Mingda revealed half of his head and glanced inside.
Enter secret observation mode
Li Mingda's secret observation with half of his head was instantly discovered by the sharp-eyed Empress Changsun.
"Xiao Sizi~!"
The voice is an octave higher
Li Mingda appeared instantly, trying his best to put on a cute look on his little face, and cried out in a sweet voice: "Mother is well, the little Sizi is back."
Then he ran to Changsun's lap as fast as he could
hug
With such a majestic thigh, very few people in the entire Tang Dynasty could be treated like this.
The eldest grandson reached out and picked up Li Mingda, who was hanging on his thigh, and observed it carefully: "Why didn't you come back yesterday?"
"We entertained guests last night. After dinner, the palace was locked."
"What does being locked up have to do with your entering the palace?"
That means you can run in regardless of the time, so don't come up with excuses to fool me.
Li Mingda still admired his mother's arm strength. Now, Li Mingda was being held up in front of him by his grandson's two snow-white arms like a little kitten. It was like that.
Li Mingda rolled his eyes and smiled coquettishly: "Mother, it's getting late to see off the guests. Returning to the palace will disturb the queen's rest."
Empress Changsun: "Don't do this. I don't know if you are sitting in your house and don't want to move. Hey, I feel sad for my mother."
A large-scale palace drama is about to begin
Li Mingda struggled for a few times in the hands of his eldest grandson, and then continued to act coquettishly and cutely: "Mother, there is no such thing. Little Sizi thinks about his mother every day, and he comes here when he wakes up from sleep."
"Really?"
"Yes~!"
"Okay, I forgive you."
Li Mingda held his eldest grandson in his arms. Li Mingda picked him up, kissed him and held him high.
Act cute to gain favorability.
Everything is done daily
Looking at Ruhuazhi who is still in the sea of suffering
Li Zhi looked at Li Mingda with aggrieved eyes, like a wounded puppy.
German Orthopedics Ruhuazhi
Stop looking at us like that
Believe it or not, I'll beat the shit out of you
Li Mingda waved his fist and threatened Li Zhi. Li Zhi lowered his head instantly. He regretted asking his mother to marry Murong Xue. Now his lovely sister has never helped him escape from his mother's tiger claws.
Tiger mother
It is also very aggressive when raising cubs.
After threatening Li Zhi, Li Mingda found an excuse to run out after lunch and a nap to take his men and horses to see his group of bloody horses.
After current breeding, there are about 1,000 pure-blooded horses with mixed blood. Li Mingda expects to get thousands more high-quality mares from the Tuyuhun and Turkic descendants next year for his own mounts to be used for racial breeding.
Strive to have the number exceed 10,000 within 2 years. Once the number exceeds 10,000, there will be more and more in the future. It is best to breed a new war horse breed with sufficient load-bearing capacity, sprinting ability and endurance.
This is enough for both expeditions and assault operations.
Li Mingda came to the racecourse, took a look at the sweaty horses and dogs hugging each other in the stables, and then told the people in charge of these racecourses to give them some rewards.
Refresh the carrot and big stick policy
Returning to the palace late at night, having a pleasant dinner with the family, and then returning to his mansion early the next morning to get busy.
To be continued
