If you want to impersonate, you must act like the Aristocratic Family is not a fool. If you can see the problem at a glance, the Aristocratic Family will not be fooled.
Cheng Chumo said: "It is not difficult to investigate their habits. You only need to find someone from Honglu Temple to help record the records. The trouble is to find a trustworthy person, but I have a way. As for the makeup expert, I don't have such a
There are people in the royal family, you can go to your majesty or the prince."
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Cheng Chumo asked curiously: "Which hospital are you going to have surgery with?"
"If you want the aristocratic families to unite the front, you must have a high status in the aristocratic family. I am prepared to attack the Wang family." Lin Xuan said.
If you are from a small aristocratic family, other aristocratic families will still help Fusang for their own benefit.
Only the Five Surnames and Qiwang, or a few of the Guanlong Family, can achieve the results he wants.
He had planned to kill Wang Qingyun and his son by pretending to be someone who had been bullied by the Wang family, and let others regard it as a vendetta.
These days, Zhang Daoquan and the others are investigating the news, but it seems there is no need now.
Is there any better way than pretending to be a Fuso person?
Cheng Chumo guessed that Lin Xuan would also choose the Wang family.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. If you're not in the military camp, how come you have time to wander around Chang'an?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Who said I was going to hang out? I was going to..." At this point, Cheng Chumo stopped quickly.
He really didn't know what to say. If he said he went on a blind date, he would be laughed at by Lin Xuan.
"Tell me, what have you been doing?" Lin Xuan originally just asked casually, but seeing Cheng Chumo's behavior, he became interested.
"Don't worry about it. I'm on leave. I won't say anything anymore. I'm going back first. I will help you with what you asked me to do." Cheng Chumo finished speaking and left in a hurry.
…
Honglu Temple
Jinbenyang saw off the officials of Tang Dynasty and returned to the room with deputy envoy Bai Gangshun.
"Sir, the officials of the Tang Dynasty said that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty did not have time to see us. They were all evasive." Bai Gangshun said dissatisfied.
Jin Benyang said: "There is no point in meeting the Tang Emperor now. We have come to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty several months in advance. If we do not propose to meet the Tang Emperor, it will definitely arouse suspicion."
Bai Gangshun nodded and said: "Sir, the Emperor asked us to find a way to repair the relationship with the Tang Dynasty and get the Tang Dynasty to agree to send Tang envoys to study in the Tang Dynasty. What should we do now?"
Jin Benyang said: "As far as I know, the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty is the aristocratic family. Seventy percent of the officials in the court are from aristocratic families. As long as we can get the aristocratic families to help us, there should be no problem. You can arrange for someone to inquire about the aristocratic families.
news, we went to visit them.”
"Yes!" Bai Gang complied and immediately made arrangements.
…
After Cheng Chumo left, Lin Xuan thought about it and left home for the East Palace.
As for asking Li Shimin for someone, he gave up after thinking about it.
Arriving at the East Palace, Lin Xuan was brought in after being notified.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Xuan bowed his hands in salute.
Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, Zichu. What's the matter with you coming to see Gu?"
"Your Highness, I have something to ask your Highness for help." Lin Xuan said.
"Oh? Tell me." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, I need a makeup expert. I wonder if your Highness has one?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Make-up expert?" Li Chengqian was stunned and said, "Yes, yes, why do you want a makeup expert?"
Makeup masters are very rare, and the royal family specially collected some in order to conceal their identities in case of emergencies.
As the prince, Li Chengqian did have two men under his command.
"Your Highness, can you not ask?" Lin Xuan didn't want to lie to Li Chengqian, but he couldn't tell him directly.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, Gu Buwen. Gu Buwen will call someone over right away."
Li Chengqian gave an order, and then said to Lin Xuan: "Nowadays, kilns for firing cement are being built everywhere. Once they are built, cement will be fired in large quantities and stored. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be prepared?"
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, did you read the last newspaper?"
"I've seen it alone, what's wrong?" Li Chengqian asked.
"What do you think of the newspaper, Your Highness?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Chengqian pondered for a while and said: "If the newspaper can be promoted to the Tang Dynasty, the people can better understand the court's policies and avoid being deceived by corrupt officials, but it is not possible yet."
At present, newspapers are only published in Chang'an, but the most clear-minded officialdom in the Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an.
This is not to say that the officials around Chang'an are all honest officials, but Chang'an is at the feet of the emperor, and once something happens, it cannot be hidden at all.
If a country's capital begins to decay, then it is not far from destruction.
The Tang Dynasty had only been founded for more than ten years, and Li Shimin worked hard to govern it, so no one dared to mess around.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. What does Your Highness think is the most important thing about road construction?"
Money? People? Or cement?
Li Chengqian thought for a while and had no clue. He looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "What do you think?"
"The most important thing is to prevent corruption. It is a good thing to employ people and not let them do corvee service. If the people know about it, they will be grateful to the court. However, once someone corrupts, the people will blame the court on the blame.
If not, it will cause chaos." Lin Xuan said.
Li Chengqian was startled and said: "You mean to use newspapers to announce the court's road construction?"
Some people dared to embezzle even the money and food provided by the court for disaster relief, let alone the money for road construction.
Li Chengqian is not so arrogant that no one would dare to commit corruption based on his reputation alone.
Once someone commits corruption, he doesn't know whether it will affect the prestige of the court, but since he is the prince in charge, his reputation will definitely be ruined.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the people know it, no one will dare to commit corruption. Even if someone dares to commit crimes, they will restrain themselves."
Why did those officials even dare to embezzle money and food from the court for disaster relief?
It's because they know that the people don't know how much food the court has allocated.
They can send the people away by giving them a little casually. Even if the people have grievances, they will still resent the court.
If the matter of road construction is published in newspapers, so that the people know how much it costs for a day's work, and the officials know that if they dare to do something, something will happen, then those officials will naturally not dare to mess around.
"I'll go talk to my father right now." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, what should I do if you leave?" Lin Xuan said quickly.
For the first time, he discovered that Li Chengqian was so impatient.
"Just wait here. When someone comes, you can just take it back. You don't have to wait for me." Li Chengqian said.
Lin Xuan was speechless, what else could he say, he could only wait here.
…
"Your Majesty, this chess game implies the art of war. The Marquis of Jingyang County invented it. It seems that he has very high attainments in the art of war." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
Li Shimin took a step forward and then said: "It's not like you don't know that boy's temperament. He is obviously talented, but he is unwilling to serve the country."
When this was mentioned, Li Shimin became angry. Lin Xuan kept saying that he did not understand the art of war.
If you don’t understand the art of war in chess, can you invent it?
Fang Xuanling didn't answer. Li Shimin seemed to be scolding Lin Xuan, but this was the first time he saw someone who could make Li Shimin call him a brat.
Li Mu walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."
Li Shimin stared at the chessboard without raising his head and said, "Let him come in."
Just as Fang Xuanling was about to stand up, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
"Your Majesty, the etiquette must not be discarded." Fang Xuanling smiled and stood up insistently.
Li Shimin shook his head and said nothing.
Li Chengqian walked into the main hall, bowed and saluted: "See you, Father!"
Li Shimin said: "No courtesy."
Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian raised his hand and returned the gift: "I've seen the prime minister."
Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling: "Come on, continue playing chess, it's your turn."
Fang Xuanling smiled at Li Chengqian, sat opposite Li Shimin, and studied the chessboard.
"What's the matter with you coming to see me?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Chengqian told Li Shimin what Lin Xuan told him.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise and said, "Did you think of this yourself, or did someone else tell you?"
Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, but did not lie, and said: "Back to my father, it was Zichu who told me."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "As a prince and the heir to the country, you must consider things comprehensively. I hope you can think of it by yourself at any time without being reminded by others."
"My son, I will obey my father's teachings." Li Chengqian said.
"I will let Xu Jingzong handle it. You can go back." Li Shimin said.
Li Chengqian bowed and said, "My son, please retire."
Li Shimin looked at the chessboard and said nonchalantly: "What do Xuanling think of Cheng Qian?"
Fang Xuanling was shocked, but with a calm face, she said, "I dare not speak ill of the prince."
