Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 132 The plans of the old foxes

"It does sound absurd, but other than that, the veteran can't think of any other possibility." Chen Yin shook his head and said, "Whether it's the re-examination bookkeeping method or the so-called health management regulations for the wounded barracks, it's the old minister's responsibility." Unheard of, unseen. To say that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a genius who has created these new knowledge by himself is actually no different from believing that he was enlightened by an immortal in a dream."

Li Shimin nodded and sighed: "I think so too. It's a pity that this kid is full of abilities and a good mind, but he refuses to enter the court as an official and serve me. I really don't know what to say."

If Li Xin was present at this moment, his jaw would probably drop in shock. He always thought that the re-examination bookkeeping method and the health management regulations of the wounded barracks were actually made by him, and only a small number of relevant people knew about it. Unexpectedly, even Chen Yin knew about it.

But it seems natural to say it. After all, Chen Yin is a powerful figure in the empire, and Li Shimin's trusted right-hand man. As long as there is no need to hide most matters, he will tell Chen Yin and discuss with him. Well, this sentence sounds a bit like nonsense.

If Li Xin knew that Chen Yin understood these things, he should be able to easily guess why Chen Yin made things difficult for him. It's a pity that he has no way of knowing for the time being, so he has to think hard for a while.

Chen Yin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister has already threatened to cancel the engagement, which has created a problem for His Royal Highness Chu. It is absolutely impossible for him to solve this problem. At that time, it is inevitable to ask the old minister not to cancel the engagement, and the old minister can take advantage of the situation and ask him to come to me. The requirements of being an official under his command. To be honest, the old ministers are also more and more appreciative of the King of Chu, but it is a pity that he is still young, his temperament is not stable enough, and he needs more polishing. If he can experience it well, maybe twenty years later, he It can also become the mainstay of my Great Tang, and help His Majesty create a prosperous world where everything will never change!"

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "I don't doubt that he can become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. However, if he knows that you are plotting against him, it may arouse the child's resentment. At that time."

Chen Yin said with a wry smile: "The most important thing right now is to lure this child into the court, how can the old minister care so much. As for those who are disgusted or not, as long as he steps into the court, is it possible that His Majesty will not have the means to punish him?"

This makes sense. Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Li Xin has always refused to become an official in the court, and has been wandering outside the court. This has directly led to a consequence, that is, the dominant relationship between Li Shimin and him can only be that of the elders and juniors who are as close as father and son. relationship, rather than the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

Therefore, even though His Majesty Li Er has monstrous political power and means in his hands, these things cannot be directly applied to Li Xin at all. The most intuitive example is that every time Li Xin makes a mistake, he can only hit this guy's board and settle the matter.

But if Li Xin really entered the court and became an official official, then he would naturally be under the shackles of the rules. Li Shimin's many methods can also take effect on Li Xin. Coupled with Chen Yin's assistance, the two old foxes join hands, and they don't have to worry about not being able to train Li Xin, a little fox, into a young old fox.

Thinking of Li Xin's deflated expression at that time, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and asked curiously: "Runde, what problem did you give this kid? Is it so difficult?"

Runde is Chen Yin's cousin.

In ancient times, a man would hold a crown ceremony at the age of 20 to celebrate his adulthood, so 20 is also called the year of crowning. When a man reaches the crown, an elder will take a character for him, which is the so-called watch character. Men of the same generation usually call each other by their nicknames instead of their first names, because it connotes contempt and impoliteness.

As a benevolent emperor through the ages, Li Shimin has always called some old officials who followed him in the early years to show respect.

Chen Yin replied with a smile: "I want him to gather a dowry gift of 500,000 yuan within three days before he refuses to cancel the engagement."

As an emperor, Li Shimin certainly had a clear understanding of this huge sum of money. He nodded, and agreed very much: "It is indeed a problem that is difficult to solve by manpower. This kid, Xin'er, has been stumped this time."

Chen Yin said with a smile: "Even if he asks the Qin family and the Cheng family for help, it is absolutely impossible to collect so much money. This time we are sure to win. With his feelings for the little girl, he will definitely agree to the old minister's request."

Li Shimin nodded, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I'm really glad that these two young people hit it off so well in the end. Xin'er will definitely not blame me in the future."

Chen Yin said with a smile: "It seems that the old minister and His Majesty unanimously decided not to interfere with their young people. It was the right thing."

In fact, the acquaintance between Li Xin and Chen Youlan was thoroughly investigated by Bai Qisi. Li Shimin did not hide it from Chen Yin, after all, it was a major matter related to his daughter's reputation. Unexpectedly, Chen Yin decided not to intervene in the end, which coincided with Li Shimin's thoughts, so they turned a blind eye to Li Xin and Chen Youlan in such a laissez-faire manner.

Human nature is complicated. Even mature politicians may not really be able to get rid of all emotions. At best, they can only ensure that reason dominates most of the time. The subtle emotional changes deep in their hearts cannot be erased no matter what.

What's more, Li Xin is Li Shimin's most beloved nephew, and Chen Youlan is also Chen Yin's most beloved youngest daughter. Using them as necessary pawns in the political game will put some pressure on both of them—of course, if you say it hard, Chen Youlan Yin's psychological pressure must be greater than that of Li Shimin.

After all, no matter what, Li Shimin still found a good wife for Li Xin. Taking Datang's concept of arranged marriage as a matter of course, this is definitely not a mistreatment of Li Xin.

However, for Chen Yin, before he really understood what kind of young man Li Xin was, he felt that he was almost pushing his daughter into the fire pit. If it wasn't for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he would never have made such a decision.

Therefore, when he found that his daughter didn't seem to hate Li Xin, he didn't mind letting his daughter get in touch with Li Xin more than him, to see how his daughter reacted and whether he could finally accept the marriage.

Judging from the results at present, there is absolutely no big problem in making a happy comment as a summary. It was only the last step, to trick Li Xin into court, and everything would be perfect.

Both Li Shimin and Chen Yin thought so.

However, at this moment, Li Xin was also thinking hard in a place where the two of them could not see.
