The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 68 Cui’s Daughter



The five surnames and Qiwang controlled the middle and lower-level officials, but Li Shimin began to create some new yamen. Whenever a new yamen was established, these people hoped to send their own people in, but they failed every time. This time Same again.

Regardless of whether it is Li Tai or Li Xiang, in the final analysis, they are all members of their Li family. According to Li Shimin's idea, the meat will rot in the pot. No matter who makes contributions between you uncle and nephew, this new yamen will have great power. They have nothing to do with people with the fifth surname Qiwang.

Imperial City Division...

After retiring from the imperial court, Li Shimin wrote these three characters. This was also written according to Li Xiang's suggestion. Li Shimin called Li Xiang and Li Tai to give them a test and let them write for this new The yamen came up with a name. Li Tai usually had a reputation for talent, but as time passed, Li Tai didn't even say a name. Instead, Li Xiang blurted it out.

"Has the location been chosen?"

Li Shimin was asking about Wang De. Both Li Tai and Li Xiang had lived in deep residences for a long time and didn't know much about Chang'an City. Wang De knew Chang'an City well.

"Going back to the emperor, there is an empty yamen in the southeast corner of the imperial city. It was originally the residence of the imperial guards of the north yamen. Later it became idle and can be used as the yamen of the Imperial City Department."

Wang De had already thought of this when he resigned from the court just now, and now Li Shimin asked Wang De and he had already said it.

Although the Imperial City Division is an agency that catches spies, because it has hundreds of elite soldiers in its hands, it must be placed under Li Shimin's nose. If it is too far away, it may not be easy to control when the emperor Even if you hand someone over to your son or grandson, you have to keep an eye on it.

"Both uncles and nephews, listen up. This is not for you to fight each other, nor is it for you two to play. This is also an important government office of the imperial court. Everyone in the world is watching. People with five surnames and seven hopes People are also watching. You must make some achievements. We are planning a spy offensive against Korea. Before that, you must find all the Korean spies in Chang'an City to ensure the safety of the auxiliary aircraft. The plan is feasible..."

When Li Shimin spoke seriously, both uncle and nephew stood quietly and listened. The establishment of the Imperial City Division is not just a whim, but it is really useful.

"Grandpa, my grandson feels that my second uncle is in charge of the overall situation, and the affairs of Korea can be left to my grandson to execute alone."

While Li Shimin was happy, Li Xiang began to plan other things in his heart. He could never just mess around with it. He knew very well what kind of person Li Tai was. If he had to work with such a person, Then he probably won't be able to accomplish anything. He will keep looking for trouble for himself. When the time comes, in addition to internal friction, the Imperial City Division will probably just make others laugh...

When Li Shimin talked about the Korean spies just now, Li Tai had already frowned. He was only thinking about military power in the court, but now he remembered that this was not an ordinary yamen, and Li Shimin was watching so closely. If If there are no results, good things will turn into bad things in the end.

Now that Li Xiang has taken the initiative to take over this task, Li Tai is very happy. If this guy can really get it done without affecting our rights, we can leave this matter to him. After all, In Li Tai's eyes, it is imperative to capture Korean spies, but he is also afraid of failure. This is the kind of hard and tiring job that can be left to Li Xiang.

"It's not impossible for you to take over this job all by yourself. You have to give me a time limit."

Li Shimin said with a smile, he likes sons and grandsons like Li Xiang the most, who are hard-working and motivated, but it doesn't mean what you say. Just a few empty words will never fool this eternal emperor.

"My grandson has issued a military order, and he will be able to dig out all the spies of Korea within two months. If he violates it, he is willing to bear any punishment."

Li Xiang's voice was sonorous and powerful. At this moment, Li Tai seemed to be an outsider. Watching Li Shimin and Li Xiang acting here, he also hoped to be able to say such words like Li Xiang, but he knew how much he weighed. If he was given two months, he would definitely not have the ability to complete this matter. However, he did not believe that Li Xiang could complete it, so he watched happily. If you can't complete it by then, let's take a look. How will your father punish you?

"As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch. Even though you are just a child, I won't punish you too much..."

"Father, although Xiang'er is only a child, this has already involved important matters in the court. I hope father will think twice."

After hearing Li Shimin's words and wanting to excuse Li Xiang, Li Tai immediately stood up.

Li Shimin looked at his second son with some dissatisfaction. In the past, he was the most satisfied with his second son, but I don't know since when, this boy has become less and less long-term in dealing with things.

"Second uncle is right. Rewards and punishments must be clearly defined when it comes to important matters related to the imperial court. My grandson is willing to accept any punishment from his grandfather."

Li Xiang is not an easy man either. Since we are talking about punishment, there must be reward. If there is only punishment without reward, I am afraid that some things cannot be justified. Punishment and reward exist with each other.

"You kid is so impeccable in what you say. If you can get it done within two months, I will ask you for a good marriage. When the time comes, I will pull off my old face and marry you a daughter of the Cui family."

When Li Shimin said this, Li Tai beside him was shocked. The Qiwang of the fifth surname did not marry the royal family. This was also said before, but if Li Shimin really pulled this old face, the Cui family of Qinghe would not marry either. If this kid dares to disobey, if he has the help of the Cui family of Qinghe, then...

Li Tai also married the daughter of a big family, but compared with the Cui family of Qinghe, she was not even the slightest bit worse. If the two faced each other in the future, they would already be in a league of their own in terms of external support.

"Father..."

Li Tai wanted to ask what the punishment was, but after seeing Li Shimin's dissatisfied look, Li Tai swallowed the rest of his words.

"I know what you want to say. If you can dig out the spies of Korea within two months, I will also give you this opportunity to marry your son to a noble girl with the fifth surname and Qi Wang. But if you fail, If so, I won’t ask for much, just like last time, I’ll fine you one million dollars.”

After hearing this, Li Tai really didn't dare to say anything. This can easily cost millions of dollars. You two are really crazy...
