Chapter 711 Li Zhi cried after receiving the letter

When Wang Ping'an heard this, he understood so much that he could not understand it anymore. He thought to himself: "This is bad, isn't that the case? In the past, when the Tang army marched into Goguryeo, they had to guard against the Turkic attacks behind him. Now, not only do they have to guard against the Turkic army, but they can also use the Turkic army. Such a great thing, how could the ministers in the court imagine that they would have to let the Turkic people take the lead. And taking Turkic troops to fight in the east is such a glorious and arduous task, and it is not easy to send others to, so I can only send me!"

He slapped his thigh, regretting it, and sighed: "When he was in the Turks, he was so outstanding. At that time, he only thought about making extraordinary achievements, but he never thought about Goguryeo. He was so short-sighted at the beginning, and now he was in tears!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, you have laid the foundation for unifying the grassland. Now the Turks are in sanitation. When whales swallow and encroach, the Turks will definitely be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. For example, in terms of military merit, besides the famous generals of the founding country, you are really left. If you can destroy Goguryeo again, then if someone writes "History of Tang", maybe you will be specially published for you or even aristocratic family for you!"

"Aristocratic family? Then I won't be a prince all the way, I never thought about it!" Wang Ping'an smiled, and then began to feel sad again, saying, "Your Madam Changsun can think of what we are talking about, then that Yuan Gai Suwen should be able to think of it, right? If he really sent Goguryeo people to Yingzhou to cultivate farming, wouldn't he be sent to some, and the Youzhou soldiers would cut off the main traffic routes and would not let those Goguryeo return to their country. Wouldn't Goguryeo suffer a lot!"

Di Renjie snorted and said, "Of course I thought of Yuen Gaisuwen, but this is something that is beneficial to him. How could he not do it? Not only would he send people to Yingzhou, but after those Goguryeo were trapped and fell into an isolated situation, he would not only not send troops to support him, but he would also hope that those people would die as soon as possible, the better!"

Wang Ping'an said strangely: "Why is this? Doesn't he cherish the people of his country?"

Di Renjie said, "If he was the king, he would naturally cherish it, but he was not. He was a powerful minister who killed the king. He was cruel and unkind. How could he care about the lives and death of the people? If he wanted to send people to Yingzhou, he would send his political enemies. Those political enemies who were loyal to the royal family in the country but could not be killed, would be sent to Yingzhou in the name of national justice, which would cause trouble to our Tang Dynasty and eliminate political enemies who opposed him. Why not do it if you kill two birds with one stone?"

Wang Ping'an whispered, pinched his nose hard, and said, "This is too complicated. However, recently, I have discovered that those who have a strong desire for power seem to be a little abnormal in their consciousness and cannot be inferred by common sense. It can be said that they are a little crazy and their behavior is difficult to understand!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Brother, are you scolding brothers! Those big guys are crazy, but I can understand their psychology. Wouldn't you say I'm a little crazy? In fact, I don't have much desire for power and I'm just content with ordinary people."

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You are extraordinary. You are a prime minister in Chinese history. The famous word "is not a praising" at all!"

The affairs of Goguryeo were more complicated than those of the Turks in the early Tang Dynasty. The Tang army could conquer the Turks by pure force, and even if they could not be destroyed, the nomadic characteristics of the Turks directly determined that they could not withstand large-scale and long-term combat. Once cattle, horses and sheep were lost, they could only stay away from the border of the Tang Dynasty and migrate to a distance, and could not come back in a short period of time. Therefore, the Turks prospered quickly and declined equally quickly.

But Goguryeo is different. It is a country with the same centralized power and mainly farming. The government structure is almost copied from the Sui and Tang dynasties. Even the capital of Pyongyang was called "Chang'an" in this era. Even the neighbors in the city were similar to Chang'an. People at that time acted as "Little Chang'an". For such a regime, it was ineffective. They would not escape because there was no way to escape. Therefore, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer Goguryeo, it could only launch a large-scale war to destroy the country. The facts proved that such wars were not easy to win. Otherwise, three Eastern Expeditions would not have caused the Sui Dynasty to destroy the country. Li Shimin personally expeditioned and could not have returned without success.

According to Di Renjie's reasoning, in the next Eastern Expedition, Wang Ping'an will probably lead troops to fight. Will he return without success? Then we have to see the specific situation at that time. The inference can only end here and cannot push down any further.

Wang Ping'an sighed and thought to himself: "Well, the soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil. Take one step at a time!"

He talked about Xiao Taiping with Di Renjie, saying that Yang Chunhua refused to raise her daughter, so he had to adopt her.

Di Renjie didn't care much when he heard that Wang Ping'an had adopted a adopted daughter. He didn't know much about "Yang Chunhua" enough, and he never met again except for recognizing each other that day. Until now, he didn't know that Yang Chunhua was Wu Meiniang. Of course, the key is that he didn't have the leisure to know. Just imagine, which county magistrate would be interested in a "widow" who eats free food?

After hearing Wang Ping'an's words, Di Renjie said: "Maybe she is thinking about remarrying, and it is inconvenient to take care of her children. If this kind of woman is talking about what she is doing, my elder brother is worried about too much."

Wang Ping'an nodded and thought to himself: "It seems that I have done a good job in keeping secrets. The news about Wu Meiniang has not been spread. Even Xiao Di doesn't know about Aunt Chunhua's little trouble!"

The two began to talk about Li Ke and Goguryeo again, and they all scolded the Goguryeo people for their sinister intentions, and they felt sorry for Li Ke. Li Ke still didn't understand the sinister nature of people, and they were too self-righteous. The prince's mentality was too serious and he always wanted to use others, but he didn't expect that others had figured out his mentality and instead used him.

In Qingzhou, everything is fine. No matter how upset Wang Ping'an is, as long as he hardens his scalp, he will still be able to last for a while. However, in Chang'an, Li Zhi couldn't stand it, and he received a letter from Wang Ping'an to Beijing.

The letter was written with blood and tears in every word. After reading it, Li Zhi cried loudly, crying to death. His eyes were like peaches, and his voice was hoarse!

Seeing this, Shi Aiguo secretly picked up the letter, read it, and sighed in his heart. Wu Meiniang was really a good method. She actually wrote such a letter. Isn’t this forcing the prince to take her back to Beijing?

After Li Zhi cried, he felt deeply tired. Shi Aiguo was angry, but he refused to comfort him. The palace was quiet, and Li Zhi fell asleep in a daze!

Shi Aiguo put away the letter. At this time, he decided not to hide anything and to tell his brother Shi Zhongchen the matter. Let Shi Zhongchen make any decisions, he really couldn't solve it himself.

After going to Ganlu Temple, Shi Aiguo called out his brother Shi Zhongchen, went to a secluded place, and explained the causes and consequences in detail. After hearing this, Shi Zhongchen almost fainted. The matter was too much to play, and even the children played. This was too unreasonable!

Shi Zhongchen was finally a person who had seen the world. He had experienced all kinds of storms. Although the things in front of him were too horrifying, he still responded immediately.

Shi Zhongchen said: "In the past, it was because of Wang Ping'an, but he did not want to cause such a big deal. Wu Meiniang did have some tricks, but this matter was ultimately contrary to ethics. We were wrong once, so we can't make mistakes again."

Shi Aiguodao: "Then, my brother means..."

Shi Zhongchen glared at him and said, "What else can I do? I will get rid of Wu Meiniang, and everything will be fine."

Shi Aiguo took a breath and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the prince. What if he gets something wrong with Wu Meiniang again? The prince is a seed of infatuation and doesn't love the country and the beauty!"

Shi Zhongchen spat and said, "Wu Meiniang is such a beauty, just a little girl who is struggling with relatives. Could it be that she would really be able to enter the palace again and become the prince's concubine? Where will the emperor be placed and the face of my Tang court?"

Shi Aiguodao: "But, who... should I send to do it? After this matter is completed, I need to be silenced. The people sent to do it cannot be kept, and the prince cannot be known, nor can Wang Ping'an know it. If the guards are sent, the news will not be kept. When the guards are destroyed, someone will notice it. If so many people die in one go, they may be alarmed. Besides, if they want to destroy the guards, they have to send the guards to do it. If they destroy them, they will have no one!"

Shi Zhongchen snorted and said, "What's the problem? Go to the street to find some evil boys, give them some money, and let them ambush halfway. He said he wanted to steal the family of a wealthy businessman. When the robbery was done, he arranged a team of guards to meet them by chance and shoot everyone to death. The guards didn't know the reason, and they were not dead, so who would pay attention to such trivial matters?"

"This seems inappropriate!" Shi Aiguo felt that there were loopholes in this plan, and the news would still leak out.

Shi Zhongchen shook his sleeves and said, "It's difficult to make people live; but what's the difficulty of wanting to make people die? You can't do such a small thing? Anyway, Wu Meiniang can't live in the world no matter what, you can do it!"

Shi Aiguo's scalp was numb and had to agree. He secretly regretted it. If he had known that trouble would be kicked on his head, he shouldn't have told his elder brother. This time, he wanted to ask for his ideas, but it turned out that he would execute the murder plan himself. How to kill him still had to think about it.

He returned to the East Palace and entered the bedroom. He saw that Li Zhi was awake at this time, his eyes were swollen, and he sat blankly on the bed, without speaking or moving, like a wooden sculpture.

Shi Aiguo walked to the bed and handed the letter to Li Zhi. After thinking about it, he felt that the matter was so big. It was not appropriate to hide it, make hints, and play indirect attacks. It must be solved at one time. No matter how reluctant it is, it must be solved quickly, otherwise the matter will become bigger and bigger until it is out of control and threatens Li Zhi's position as the prince!

Shi Aiguo took out the letter and said, "Your Highness, you have read this letter and I have read it too, so don't leave it in this world!" As he said that, he lit the fire and burned the letter to ashes.

Li Zhi stared at the pieces of paper dust blankly, and suddenly, he said, "Patriotic, I want to bring Mei Niang into Beijing. Can you think of a solution?"

Shi Aiguo thought: "We just knew that you must want to take her back, and we were already planning to kill her halfway!"

Nodded, Shi Aiguodao: "This is simple. You can ask Wang Ping'an to send someone to send her back. The old slave will pick her up halfway. It can be safe. However, if you take her back, how can you place her? Although Chang'an is big, it has no place to stand!"

Li Zhi said: "Do you have any ideas? Let's hear it!"

Shi Aiguo shook his head and said, "I have no idea. I have never done this kind of thing before. You must make your own idea."

Li Zhi slapped the bed and said anxiously: "If I have an idea, why ask you? I am not here without illness, and I can't tell my uncle about this. Who can relieve my worries? Who can?" As he said that, his tears came out again, his cowardly nature broke out and he could never become strong anymore.

Shi Aiguo Road: "Otherwise, buy a house in the city and let Mei Niang live in. When His Highness has nothing to do, he will go and see her. Is that good?"

When Li Zhi heard this, he became happy. This time he didn't pat his bed, so he clapped his hands instead, and burst into tears and said, "Okay, this house needs to be closer to the East Palace, so it's convenient to see her alone!"

Shi Aiguo nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, of course, I will do it now. But write a letter to Wang Ping'an... It's better for Lao Nu to write it, just in case the letter falls into someone else's hands." As he said that, he picked up the pen to write the letter.

Li Zhi asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter, go and call him in, I have something to ask."

Shi Aiguo didn't want Li Zhi to ask the messenger. If Wu Meiniang teaches the messenger to say something, make the prince cry again, and turn his eyes from small peaches to big peaches, that would be bad. Why did you see the emperor and go with two big peaches?

He said, "I have asked you for your highness. The messenger didn't know anything about Mei Niang after asking questions. He didn't even know who Mei Niang was. I think Wang Ping'an was afraid of leaking the news, so he sent such a person. It's good that this is the best thing to be careful."

Li Zhi was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. He just kept urging Shi Aiguo to write a letter and took Wu Meiniang back to Chang'an early.

Shi Aiguo wrote the letter with a stroke of his pen and handed it to Li Zhi, saying, "Your Highness, see, is it appropriate to write this?"

When Li Zhi took the letter, he saw that there was only one sentence written on it: "Three miles outside Tonghua Gate"! He said: "Can you understand this without illness?"

Shi Aiguodao: "Wang Ping'an must be able to understand, and the important thing is that he cannot let others understand!"

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Okay, go and do it quickly. It's a headache!" As he said that, he fell onto the bed again.

Shi Aiguo immediately retired, left the Eastern Palace, went to see the person sent by Wang Ping'an, handed the letter to the messenger, and asked him to take it back to Qingzhou. After handling the matter of the letter, Shi Aiguo called Meng Datian again and said, "There are no peace in the market in Chang'an. There are always gangsters who blackmailed and traded. Do you know which gangsters are the most arrogant?"

Meng Datian was asked inexplicably and had to say, "If you go back to the general manager, the arrogant gangsters are all locked in prison, and those on the street are not arrogant!"
