Leaving Wei's restaurant, Qin Huaiyu helped Li Yin onto the horse. This scene had to be performed all the way to the palace, so as not to show his flaws.
The two got on the horse, and more than a dozen nursing homes divided into four directions, front, back, left, and right, to protect Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu back to the palace. Qin Huaiyu and Li Yin rode side by side, looking very embarrassed. Halfway through, he finally couldn't help but uttered: : "Your Highness, they are deceiving people too much, obviously embarrassing us!"
Li Yin looked drunk and said: "What can we do! We have no foundation in Yizhou. Conflicting with them now is like hitting a stone with an egg. You heard it when the high authority introduced the county magistrate. None of them are born If you offend the famous families in Yizhou, you will offend the rich and powerful in Yizhou."
Qin Huaiyu said angrily: "If we are controlled by them, what are we doing here in Yizhou? Wouldn't it be even more useless!"
"What are you in a hurry for?" Li Yin glared at him, "Father has been dissatisfied with the noble families of the world for a long time, Li's royal family comes from the Guanlong nobles, of course he understands how terrible it is for the famous families in these places to unite, but the Guanlong nobles have big roots. Shen, he did not dare to offend, he could only cater to the interests of the Guanlong Group, and compared to the north, the influence of the prominent families in the Shu region in the court was much weaker, but they were still a force that could not be ignored in the Shu region , it’s just that since they don’t have much influence on the government, it’s much easier to deal with them.”
"But how do we deal with them? Although His Highness is the King of Shu, there is nothing they can do if they don't obey the government orders you issued. You can't just kill the officials who disobey the orders. This may anger these prominent families. Good Shu people Chaos, it is not uncommon for local officials in Yizhou to be killed by rioters, but everyone understands that this is all secretly ordered by the prominent families in Shu." Qin Huaiyu worried.
"If you want to take it first, you must give it first. Let's follow them in everything for the time being, let them relax their vigilance, and then Xu Tuzhi." Li Yin thought about it, and then said: "And the father has also considered this, otherwise we will not Let me take the post of governor of Yizhou, the Zhechong Mansion here belongs to the imperial court, and basically has nothing to do with the local prominent families, so tomorrow you will follow me to Zhechong Mansion to take over the military power!"
The Tang Dynasty implemented the Fubing system. The national military force was commanded by the Sixteen Guards in Chang'an. Each prefecture and county had an independent military system.
When Li Yin talked about taking over the Zhechong Mansion, Qin Huaiyu's face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny. He was not used to the intrigues and tricks in the officialdom, but only yearned for the gold and iron horses on the battlefield. What are you afraid of, as long as His Highness is happy, Huaiyu can help His Highness take down the entire Yizhou."
"Do you think this is a troubled world? Using the army without authorization, my name of treason will be confirmed. Until the last moment, this life-saving straw is still in your hand. However, it is easy to send you in. Can you make these soldiers obey? Your orders are up to you."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Huaiyu's strategy is not good, but if you go to war on horseback, train your army, and attack cities and lands, who are you afraid of?" Qin Huaiyu said proudly.
"Just blow it!"
"..."
The two talked to each other, and they arrived at the Shu Palace. Jin Daqian greeted him at this moment, "Your Highness, the first batch of slaves from Chang'an have arrived!"
Li Yin got off his horse, handed the reins to a servant standing at the door, and said, "How many people came here?"
"Your Highness, there are a total of 1,200 people!"
Jin Daqian said: "Exactly one hundred!" Then he asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what do you want these dumb people for?"
"Because their mouths won't talk nonsense, and they won't reveal the secrets of our transactions with Huaxia businessmen!" Li Yin said.
Jin Daqian gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness is wise, why can't I remember this!"
"By the way, what is the princess doing now?" Li Yin walked to the backyard and asked casually.
Jin Daqian hurriedly followed, and said: "As soon as His Highness left in the morning, this lady from Yizhou City came to ask to see the princess. The princess is drinking tea and talking poetry with them in the backyard!"
Li Yin stopped, the influence of the Cui family was great enough, these prominent families started wives diplomacy so quickly.
Since the back was inconvenient, he didn't go. He simply called Jin Daqian, Shangguanyi, and Qin Huaiyu to the front hall. When the three came in, Li Yin focused his gaze on Shangguanyi first.
Perhaps because he is a scribe, Shangguanyi's physical fitness is really poor. He basically didn't speak during the journey, and he looked like he was about to die. After a night's rest, he was still depressed, "Shangguanyi, we're here This Yizhou, what do you think?"
Shangguanyi, who was still drowsy just now, seemed to be drenched in a basin of cold water. It was the first time that the king of Shu talked to him, and it was the first time he asked such a question.
"The little one doesn't have any ideas, just wait until the newspaper office is established and serve His Highness!"
Li Yin felt that it was time for a showdown with Shangguanyi after such a long time, and it would be a waste to keep the talents: "It's for His Royal Highness!"
As soon as Li Yin said these words, the faces of the three of them all changed drastically. With a cry of "Cang", Qin Huaiyu drew his sword out of its sheath.
Shangguanyi's eyes flickered, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and said: "Your Highness misunderstood, how could the little one know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Hmph, look what this is!" Li Yin threw a piece of yellow paper with his name on it in front of him, "Why does it have your name on it?" Ever since she suspected Shangguanyi, Su Morer had been collecting Li Yin kept the information on Shangguanyi with him when he left Chang'an. After carefully reading the information, Li Yin realized that Shangguanyi was a depressed type, and the prince didn't take him seriously.
Seeing the list, Shangguanyi's face turned ashen. It was clearly the list of Hongwenguan's bachelors. .
"You do have a backbone. Yizhou is a remote place with high mountains and high mountains. If I wanted to kill you, you would have become a dead bone by the roadside. I know that you have been unsuccessful since you entered the court and became an official, and I also know that you have a strategy that you can't use. You should understand better than me now that the crown prince doesn't use you as a talent for governing the world at all, but just treats you as a small **** , an insignificant pawn, you are not even qualified to monitor me, you can only monitor my newspaper office."
