"Your Majesty, if you tell me this, there must be conditions. Your Majesty, please tell me the conditions directly." Lin Xuan said.
"As long as you are willing to lead the troops, I will exempt you from standing guard and handling the auxiliary vehicles and other things." Li Shimin said.
What the hell, this is a threat and a temptation.
Do you want to agree or not?
I don't know how long it will take to go to the palace as a servant, but to go to war, it will be done once and for all.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops, but I want detailed information on each tribe in the grassland." Lin Xuan said.
The Art of War goes like this: Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
The Western Turks and Xueyantuo are composed of many tribes. In addition, there are some independent tribes on the grassland. If you can have detailed information about these tribes and make good use of them, it will be of great help to the war.
"Yes! I will have someone send you what you need." Li Shimin said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If nothing happens, I will leave first."
Li Shimin was as cunning as a fox, and Lin Xuan didn't want to spend any more time with him.
"Back off, be honest during this time, and don't cause trouble for me."
Lin Xuan curled his lips and said as if he was often in trouble.
"Yes, I will retire."
On the way out of the palace, Lin Xuan kept thinking about what Li Shimin said.
He had always thought that based on his understanding of history, he had a very good understanding of the characters of Li Shimin and other famous figures in history.
However, history is both credible and unreliable.
It is somewhat unrealistic to judge a person's character solely based on recorded history.
"I have met the Marquis of Jingyang County."
A sudden voice interrupted Lin Xuan's thoughts.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, looked at the eunuch in front of him, raised his hands and said, "I wonder what's wrong with this father-in-law?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince invites the Marquis to come to the East Palace to have a talk."
Lin Xuan was just about to refuse, then thought about it carefully and said, "Excuse me, father-in-law, please tell your highness that I will be there in a minute."
"Yes, I'll go right away, old slave."
Although Li Shimin asked him not to remind Li Chengqian, he did not say that he would not be allowed to see Li Chengqian.
If he didn't go, Li Chengqian would inevitably think too much.
Lin Xuan already had a rough guess as to Li Chengqian's purpose of looking for him.
It was simply because Li Shimin appointed Li Tai as deputy general manager of road construction, which made Li Chengqian feel pressured.
While thinking, he came to the gate of the East Palace. Lin Xuan handed the horse to the soldiers, stepped forward and said to the guard at the gate of the East Palace: "I am Hou Linxuan of Jingyang County. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me. Please inform me."
"I have met the Marquis, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me that when the Marquis is here, just go in. The Marquis is here to invite you," said the guard on duty at the door.
Lin Xuan nodded and followed the guards into the East Palace.
Arriving at the main hall of the East Palace, the guard stopped and asked Lin Xuan to go in on his own.
Lin Xuan tidied his clothes and walked in.
"I have met Your Highness."
"No need to be polite, just sit down." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Xuan bowed and sat down.
"Li Zhi heard that you were assassinated, but she was worried. You said you had nothing to do and why did you have to go to Lingnan?" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness also knows that I was assassinated?"
Lin Xuan saw that Lin Dongyang and others did not know about his assassination, and he thought that not many people knew.
Now it seems that not many people know about it.
"My father said so, but at that time my father said that you were fine, otherwise Li Zhi would have taken people to Lingnan." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Lin Xuan was very moved. Although Li Lizhi seemed to have a soft and weak personality, she was actually very assertive.
The situation Li Chengqian mentioned is very likely to happen.
"I wonder what the purpose of Your Highness's summons this time is?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Chengqian waved back, and then said: "Qingque presented the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" to his father. Emperor Longyan was very pleased and made him the deputy general manager of road construction. Gu..."
Lin Xuan directly interrupted Li Chengqian's words and said: "Your Highness, these are not important. Your Highness only needs to remember what I said to you before. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Li Shimin has told him not to mention Li Chengqian anymore. If he doesn't comply, who knows what Li Shimin will do to him.
Although there were only two of them in the main hall, when he mentioned something about Li Chengqian before, they were also the only ones, and Li Shimin still knew about it.
It's also possible that Li Shimin was deceiving him, but he didn't dare to take the risk.
After Lin Xuan came back from time travel, although he was very respectful to Li Shimin, he actually didn't have much awe in his heart.
But what Li Shimin said to him just now made him feel in awe of Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
He noticed something was strange about Lin Xuan.
After Lin Xuan left, Li Chengqian kept thinking about why Lin Xuan suddenly became so abnormal.
Although Lin Xuan didn't explicitly support him, he helped him a lot and they were usually happy to get along with him.
Thinking that Lin Xuan had just come out of the palace, Li Chengqian's heart moved. Could it be that Li Shimin and Lin Xuan said something?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's face became a little gloomy.
A pair of hands climbed up to Li Chengqian's head and pressed gently on both sides of Li Chengqian's head, making Li Chengqian's frown relax.
"Didn't His Highness summon the Marquis of Jingyang County to discuss something? Why did the Marquis of Jingyang County leave so quickly?" Cheng Xin said seemingly unintentionally.
Li Yuanchang sent him to the East Palace. In addition to asking him to stir up Li Chengqian's jealousy against Li Tai, he also told him to try to drive a wedge between Li Chengqian and Lin Xuan if possible.
He felt this was a good opportunity.
Li Chengqian's originally relaxed brows frowned again, and he said calmly: "You passed."
Chengxin's expression changed, and he knelt down with a plop, and said in a panic: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I also want to share your worries for Your Highness."
"Get up. I hope you will abide by your duties. Don't worry about things that shouldn't be yours to worry about. Have you moved?" Li Chengqian said calmly.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness." Chengxin stood up and continued to massage Li Chengqian.
After Lin Xuan's advice, what Li Shimin said to him last time, and after being the governor of Chang'an for so long, Li Chengqian finally made a lot of progress.
In the past, Li Chengqian would have probably been provoked by Su Xin, but now that Li Chengqian has learned to think for himself, he is not so easily provoked.
After Lin Xuan left the East Palace, he returned home directly.
Not long after arriving home, a servant informed me that someone was coming from the palace.
Lin Xuan came to the door, saw the person coming, and said with a smile: "I've met Manager Li."
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. Your Majesty asked the old slave to bring something to you."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Bring it up."
Immediately, four people came over carrying two large boxes.
From the way they struggled, you could tell that the box was not very light.
"Mr. Li, let's go in and have a cup of tea." Lin Xuan said.
Li Mu smiled and said: "No, the old slave still needs to return to the palace to resume his life. Your Majesty asked the old slave to tell the Marquis that these are top secrets and cannot be let out at all."
"I understand, thank you Manager Li."
After sending Li Mu away, Lin Xuan had someone carry the box to his room.
After sending the people away, Lin Xuan opened the box.
"No wonder it's so hard to carry a box full of books."
Lin Xuan muttered, picked up a book and started reading.
"Is this also called top secret?"
After flipping through a few pages, Lin Xuan was speechless.
A certain tribe, its approximate number of people, and its approximate scope of activities.
What is the use of such information?
He doesn't check his household registration, so what's the use of doing so.
Lin Xuan threw away this book and changed it to another one. Whenever he saw the one recording the population and location, he would change it directly.
After changing seven or eight books in a row, I finally found one that was useful.
What is recorded above is the relationship between some tribes in Xue Yantuo.
