Chapter 178: Calculation, cute, busy(1/2)
"Some corrupt officials must be sanctimonious people. They are good at disguising themselves, such as dressing themselves up as good people. In fact, they have been blackmailing people secretly. Since the lord is suspicious of them, it is better to investigate."
Li Chengqian said to Li Moyun with some embarrassment: "Military advisor, I don't have the right manpower."
Li Moyun: "Your Highness, aren't there people from Baiqisi sent by His Majesty? They are the most suitable. Let them investigate this matter. If anything goes wrong, His Highness will not be blamed."
Li Chengqian thought for a while following Li Moyun's words: "This is a good idea. I'll ask Zhang Xin to check it out later."
Zhang Xin?
It turns out that the people around Li Chengqian were called this, Li Shimin’s Baiqisi.
The two chatted about how Li Chengqian was about to leave after dinner that night, when he saw Zhang Xin coming in a hurry.
"Your Highness, Mr. Mo Yun"
Li Chengqian: "Why is Zhang Xin so flustered?"
Zhang Xin: "Your Highness, you asked me to investigate the Mingzun Holy Sect in the afternoon. Today the three leaders of the Mingzun Holy Sect paid a visit to Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang and stayed at the Princess's residence until night before returning."
Li Chengqian and Li Moyun looked at each other. Their initial plan seemed to be unworkable.
Li Moyun: "It seems that Her Royal Highness has been talking to the three masters for a day. There must be something important. If you investigate rashly, it will cause some trouble."
Zhang Xin looked at Li Moyun suspiciously. He didn't like Li Chengqian finding this counselor very much. He didn't say anything due to his status and responsibilities. The status of the Mingzun Holy Sect in Chang'an City was much higher than that of the Buddhist and Taoist families.
Furthermore
Baiqisi also has connections with Minzun Shengjiao, especially since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued a secret decree a few days ago to assist Minzun Shengjiao and Jinyiwei in executing a special plan.
Zhang Xin wanted to say it, but then he thought about it and let it go. Just let the prince mess around with this Li Moyun. Anyway, he was only following the orders of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It was his duty to protect Li Chengqian. Unless Li Chengqian inherited the throne, Baiqisi
I won't care so much.
It was not the Jin Yiwei who monitored the officials. The Baiqisi relied on the structure of the Jin Yiwei to develop rapidly, and secretly did many things for Li Shimin.
Baiqisi itself was the origin of Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, and Zhang Xin also stood out from it. The military system and welfare changes made by Jinyang Princess Li Mingda over the years made Zhang Xin very fond of her.
Now that Li Moyun threatened to investigate the Mingzun Holy Cult, Zhang Xin remained silent on the surface, but in his heart he became more wary of Li Moyun.
What on earth does this scholar want to do?
Li Moyun thought for a moment and said to Li Chengqian: "My lord is not as weak as Mo Yun. How about we find some civilians to join him and conduct a secret investigation?"
Li Chengqian rubbed his brow: "Whenever something related to the emperor's sister is always a headache, these things will trouble the military advisor."
Li Moyun: "This is Mo Yun's responsibility. It's just that I have to make preparations for some necessary needs."
"This is natural. I will ask the housekeeper to contact Mr. Mo Yun later."
Li Chengqian left, and Li Moyun picked up the teacup and drank slowly. Not long after, a man next to him walked out. If anyone saw it, they would definitely say, wasn't this the man who was standing at the door for the scholar during the Xiao Guizi incident?
The man holding the umbrella?
"Master"
"What's wrong with Dazhu?"
Dazhu: "Sir, will investigating Princess Jinyang in this way attract their attention? Then it will affect the young master's plan."
Li Moyun shook his head and explained to Dazhu: "Sooner or later, we have to know. I plan to strike first this time and drive the nails in early. When they find out, even if they are discovered, they will have to bring out some flesh and blood."
"
"Furthermore, if the location of the nail is dangerous enough, we may have the capital to negotiate."
Dazhu couldn't help but sigh. He admired Li Moyun's wisdom and other lofty ideals, which was the reason why he was willing to follow Li Moyun. However, Li Dazhu always felt that this method was completely seeking death. There was something he couldn't discuss with Princess Jinyang.
After the talks, both sides are doing it for the good of the people.
Can't figure it out
Li Moyun asked Li Dazhu: "Dazhu, have you decided who will join the Mingzun Holy Sect?"
Li Dazhu replied to Li Moyun: "It has been arranged. What do you think about the fact that some brothers are believers of Mingzun Holy Cult?"
Li Moyun: "It is easier to infiltrate if you are a believer yourself, but you must also guard against the risk of being incited to rebel. After all, the Mingzun Holy Cult has a very high reputation on the surface."
Li Dazhu: "No"
"Ahem"
Li Moyun covered his heart and looked uncomfortable.
Li Dazhu looked at Li Moyun's uncomfortable look and advised Li Moyun: "Young Master's health is urgent, please rest early."
Li Moyun waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'm thinking about some issues, you can go first."
"yes"
After Li Dazhu left, a few more coughing sounds came from Li Moyun's study.
Li Mingda went to the palace the next day and went to see Lao Li to go over his daily routine.

Then start reporting back work
"Father, Xiao Sizi met with brothers Murong Xue and Zhang Qing yesterday and arranged the necessary matters."
Li Shimin: "How is the milk source plan you mentioned?"
Li Mingda patted his chest: "Ten thousand cows, and some full-time herdsmen will leave immediately next spring."
Li Shimin asked Li Mingda: "The beginning of spring is the time when these livestock reproduce. Will the loss be too great?"
Li Mingda: "This Murong Xue should also have arrangements. Besides, the losses of some livestock are not comparable to human lives."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement with Li Mingda's point of view: "It is true. A cow and a sheep are indeed incomparable to the life of a person. My father just likes this about our little Sizi."
Ouch?
Pretending not to know what Li Shimin was praising him for, he started to act cute.
Li Shimin rubbed Li Mingda's head, with a fatherly air: "Xiao Sizi's decisiveness, knowing what is right and what is wrong, knowing what is important and what can be given up."
_(:3∠)_
"Thank you, Father, for the compliment. Oh, there is one more thing. Once Father, Mingzun Holy Cult, gets involved, they will need some protective warriors and equipment and need your approval."
Guardian warriors and equipment?
"What are they going to do?"
Li Mingda scratched his head: "It seems that you want to learn martial arts like those bald and Taoist priests. It seems that sects in the West also have these. Those who protect their believers and the chief teacher are like guards."
Li Shimin began to think about the pros and cons. If he wanted to use Mingzun Holy Religion, he must promise some benefits. Sufficient exchange of benefits can make the relationship stronger. This is Li Shimin's own code of conduct.
Now that he needs Ming Zun's holy religion, he will naturally have to give some, but these things must have a degree.
Thinking for a long time
Li Shimin answered: "Every family has more or less private soldiers. This requirement is not too much. We can have protective warriors, and we can also approve the equipment, but we must ensure a suitable number. What do you think, little Sizi?"
"
Li Mingda nodded: "This is inevitable. They cannot be allowed to develop. There must be restrictions, especially in Chang'an."
Li Shimin: "Xiao Sizi, those people regard you as the reincarnation of a god, so why don't you say something nice to them?"
"Why do you want to help them and say nice things?"
Li Mingda asked back, which made Li Shimin a little confused: "Well, don't you think that's the right thing to do?"
Li Mingda continued to ask Li Shimin: "But they can't just recruit high-profile knights. If there are too many people, there will be trouble. When the time comes, if some common people are involved, how will that work?"
Li Shimin rubbed Li Mingda's head and said lovingly: "My little Sizi is really kind-hearted. He is thinking about the people all the time."
Li Mingda raised his face and said: "Father, it's a blessing for the people to farm. You know that they work hard to grow food for us to eat, and they also have to do corvee labor and do hard work. They know how to ask for it but don't know how to protect them.
How is this different from an animal?”
"So Xiao Sizi, you really don't like those corrupt officials."
Li Mingda nodded: "Corrupt officials are not hateful, as long as they do not bully ordinary people. They eat food grown by the people and wear clothes made by the people. This is their food, clothing and parents. The beasts still know how to feed back. Those who don't know
Those who protect the people but bully the good ones are worse than animals and deserve to die."
Li Shimin rubbed Li Mingda's little head again: "That is to say, you have such an idea. If your brother Gao Ming doesn't know when he will have such an opinion, I will feel relieved."
"Father"
"?"
"Brother doesn't know. You can explain it to him. Why does he have to understand it by himself? What if he never understands it?"
"...."
"If you keep waiting like this, why don't you tell big brother as early as possible, so that my father doesn't have to be disappointed in the end when big brother fails to realize it."
Li Shimin: "My father really didn't expect this."
Sure enough it is so
