In the eyes of outsiders, it is a supreme existence.
A casual order can be closely related to the livelihood of many people.
Just a casual rebuke, and you don’t know how many people will lose their heads.
But who knows how much the emperor has to bear?
He has to bear the livelihood of the people in the world, and he has to distribute the benefits well to the satisfaction of all parties.
This is no easy task.
Li Shimin is only in his thirties and not yet forty.
But when he stands next to his peers, he looks much older than his peers.
If Li Chengqian had a choice, he would never follow Li Shimin's old path.
…
That afternoon.
Luo Ding'an, who had led his men and horses around the city for several days, returned.
"Your Highness!"
"My subordinates have already investigated everything you told me."
Meet Li Chengqian.
Luo Ding'an said with excitement.
"Have you checked everything out?"
Li Chengqian's eyelids moved and he said in a calm voice: "Tell me carefully what you found."
"As His Highness expected."
"Brothers Zhang An and Zhang Qin are protected by Qingtian."
Luo Ding'an faced Li Chengqian and said quietly: "And this Qingtian's background is not small."
"oh?"
Hearing what he said, Li Chengqian was inevitably curious and immediately asked: "Who is it?"
"You know this guy too."
Luo Ding'an smiled slightly and said: "That's our Duke Yun of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Liang!"
"Zhang Liang?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows.
He originally thought that Zhang Liang's matter was over.
Unexpectedly, there is something about Zhang Liang in this place.
"Zhang An, Zhang Qin..."
Li Chengqian rubbed his chin and said, "Could it be that these two people are related to Zhang Liang?"
"It's more than that."
The old man Luo Ding'an reached into his arms and pulled out a stack of letters and a small notebook. He handed it to Li Chengqian and said, "I can't explain this clearly. You'd better take a look for yourself."
Li Chengqian took the letter and the small book suspiciously and began to read through them.
Just after reading one, his expression changed.
As Luo Ding'an said.
These two people are more than just relatives to Zhang Liang.
As early as ten years ago, these two people were adopted as adopted sons by Zhang Liang.
These letters all contain a list of correspondence with Zhang Liang.
There are countless keywords such as human life lawsuits and land occupation.
And that small book is the account book of their transactions.
It clearly records how many shops and properties the two brothers bought for Zhang Liang over the years, and how much money they made for Zhang Liang.
"OK."
"so good."
Li Chengqian held the letters and account books, his face as cold as frost.
He originally thought that Zhang Liang was just a little more arrogant in Chang'an City.
Indulging a few adopted sons under him to do some dirty things is nothing.
But the thing in front of me is not just a dirty thing.
There is nothing wrong with officials opening up shops to do business.
Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin both have them.
There are even dozens of shops under Li Chengqian's name that were borrowed from his sister.
However, who has ever seen a life-threatening lawsuit arising out of doing business?
Not to mention the land.
As early as a few years ago, Li Shimin, at Li Chengqian's suggestion, confiscated land across the country and distributed it equally to the people according to household registration.
Moreover, it is expressly stipulated that anyone who sells or acquires land privately must be jailed and convicted.
But Zhang Liang knows the law and breaks the law, and commits crimes against the odds.
This is not just as simple as breaking the law.
It was clear that he was slapping Li Shimin and slapping the imperial court in the face.
Luo Ding'an saw the resentment in Li Chengqian's heart and asked: "Your Highness, how about we send people to Chang'an City and let Your Majesty make a decision?"
?”
"Being not."
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "We'll check again later, and then we'll talk about it after we find out clearly."
"Isn't this clear?"
Luo Ding'an was a little confused.
"Not sure!"
Li Chengqian meant these three words very seriously.
No matter how slow Luo Ding'an reacted, he still came to his senses.
But in his heart, he was inevitably a little unconvinced.
This is already conclusive evidence, so why bother to investigate?
Li Chengqian saw what he was thinking, shook his head and chuckled, then changed the topic and asked: "Where did you find these letters?"
Luo Ding'an was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he would suddenly ask himself this.
However, Luo Ding'an still answered truthfully: "In the secret compartment under Zhang An's wardrobe."
"Okay."
"You can even find the hidden compartments."
Li Chengqian twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that you have learned nothing in vain in the past few years at the Wuhan Academy."
"Actually, it's not..."
Luo Ding'an scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "When I asked Zhang An and Zhang Qin before."
"The two of them fought to death without saying anything."
"Last night, a few brothers and I got together."
"I'll just stop doing it and beat them up."
"That Zhang An is a tough guy and still bites the bullet without saying anything."
"But Zhang Qin is not as good as his brother. He can be beaten with six or seven whips, and nothing can be said."
After working on it for a long time, he was still beaten out.
Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head and chuckled: "This method is not practical. You should learn smart methods in the future."
Luo Ding'an bowed and said, "I will teach you."
"I hope you are truly educated."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Ding'an with deep meaning.
Luo Ding'an has followed Li Chengqian for many years.
He could feel that Li Chengqian had a deeper meaning.
But for a moment, I couldn't figure out what Li Chengqian meant.
Li Chengqian sighed lightly gas.
This guy is really stupid.
But you can't blame others.
Although Luo Ding'an has been in the army for a long time.
But before being taken back to Chang'an City by Li Chengqian.
This guy is just a pawn working at the bottom. How has he ever seen the intrigues of people at the top?
Li Chengqian said slowly: "You have to know that Duke Yun represents more than just one person."
"He represents our veteran ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a traditional minister."
"If you want to touch him, you want him to get the punishment he deserves."
"The evidence you found is definitely not enough."
Li Chengqian looked at Luo Ding'an and said, "Can you understand what I mean?"
He has made it so clear.
If Luo Ding'an still doesn't understand, then he is truly a fool.
Luo Ding'an paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "I will obey His Highness's orders. I will do whatever Your Highness orders."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled.
"You guy."
"You want to eat ready-made food, right?"
Li Chengqian patted Luo Ding'an on the shoulder and said, "You are now a commander-in-chief."
"You have so many brothers looking at you, you can't keep doing this."
"You have to learn to do things by yourself in the future."
"Otherwise, your more than ten years of hard work will be in vain."
Luo Ding'an couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he heard this.
Li Chengqian glanced outside the door and said quietly: "Okay, go down and think about what I said to you today."
"When did you figure it out? You don't need to ask me for instructions, just do it."
Luo Ding'an bowed and saluted, then slowly exited the inn.
Arrive outside the inn.
"Your Highness is becoming more and more unpredictable..."
Luo Ding'an looked at the sky, his face blank.
I don't know how long it took, but his body suddenly shook.
Luo Ding'an looked back at the inn, with a smile on his face: "I understand..."
