When Li Jiancheng said these words, he was gritting his teeth. Obviously, Li Jiancheng was angry not because of the news that Wan He was in Chang'an, but because Li Shimin had made a comeback in front of Li Yuan again. Originally, these few days Li Jiancheng had the upper hand, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would turn him over.
Li Jiancheng's confidant General Feng Li asked with confusion: "Your Majesty, since the King of Qin discovered Wan He's whereabouts, why didn't he capture him?"
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly and said: "God knows what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. It's not like you don't understand how deep my father's hatred for Wan He is. As soon as he found out the clues about Wan He in Chang'an, he immediately got the father's information." Approval, now my father has ordered him to be solely responsible for capturing Wan He. If he waits for Wan He to be captured, my father will definitely look at him differently. By then, my status will not be guaranteed. This time I I specially ask you to come here so quickly because I want to discuss with you how to deal with this matter."
"My lord, don't be anxious," an older civil servant sitting next to Wei Ting said to Li Jiancheng. This person was Li Gang, the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office. Li Gang was a veteran of the Sui Dynasty and had served as Yang Yong's subordinate. , later he was framed by Yang Su and resigned and lived in seclusion. This time he came out because of Li Yuan's invitation. This man's reputation among scholars was not low. It was he who recommended Wang Gui to Li Yuan that Wang Gui became an official in Li Tang. Li Gang said to Li Jiancheng: "Since the King of Tang wanted to get rid of Wan He quickly, why didn't the Crown Prince take the first step and capture Wan He? As long as the King of Qin captured Wan He in one step, the King of Tang would naturally trust the Crown Prince more , and the status of the crown prince has become more and more consolidated,"
Li Gang's words also made Li Jiancheng's eyes light up. Li Jiancheng had only been angry before, but had not thought of this method. Now that Li Gang said this, Li Jiancheng immediately reacted. Yes, as long as he can catch Wan Wan first. He, isn't everything solved easily? But soon Li Jiancheng frowned again and said: "The news about Wan He's appearance in Chang'an came from Li Shimin. We don't have any clues now. How can we Catch Wan He first,"
Li Jiancheng also hit the mark on the most critical issue. It is true that Wan He arrived in Chang'an, but it is not that easy to catch Wan He. Although he does not know why Wan He took the risk to come to Chang'an, Wan He is not Fool, you will definitely be careful when you get to Chang'an and won't reveal your flaws easily. It's not that easy to catch Wan He. For a while, almost everyone was lowering their heads and making suggestions for Li Jiancheng.
At this moment, Wan He was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body, especially when he heard the people next to him one by one coming up with ideas for Li Jiancheng. The purpose was to get him out of Chang'an City. He heard those ideas becoming more and more destructive than the last. He felt that a hand suddenly stretched out from the back of his head and pulled him up. Wan He was so frightened that he shivered. Fortunately, he was as fat as a ball, so his shaking was not noticeable. No one noticed.
"Damn it, we can't go on like this. If we let these bastards come up with random ideas again, I will have to be caught by them." Thinking of this, Wan He calmed down and thought about the matter carefully. Suddenly his eyes opened. Suddenly, a plan came to his mind. Then, Wan He spotted the moment when everyone was talking, suddenly stood up, clasped his fists towards Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, this villain, this villain has a way."
"Well," Wan He said, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone's eyes turned to Wan He. As Li Jiancheng's confidants and subordinates, they naturally recognized Qian Que dressed as Wan He. It's just that most of them don't think highly of this fat man who was born as a merchant. In their view, this fat man is just a local rich man who provided money for Li Jiancheng. If he didn't have money, this fat man would never even think about interacting with officials and generals like them. Sitting at the same table, now that even adults like them and the generals can't solve this problem, what can this businessman do?
Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes. His thoughts were similar to those of others, except that Wan He's gold did help him a lot. He had no choice but to give Wan He this face. He just smiled and said: " Oh, I don’t know what Mr. Qian has to say, let me tell you.” Even though he said that, Li Jiancheng didn’t have any hope.
Wan He immediately nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I can't speak highly of you, but I just heard what the Crown Prince and all the lords and generals said, and I was a little enlightened. The news that Wan He came to Chang'an was told to Tang Dynasty by the King of Qin. The king's, and according to the prince's words, King Qin also relied on this news to get the favor of King Tang. Looking at things the other way around, if King Qin's news was wrong, then Wan He would not have come to Chang'an at all. Well, if the King of Tang gets such news, how will he treat the King of Qin?"
As soon as Wan He said these words, everyone suddenly became quiet. Everyone's expressions were different, but the eyes looking at Wan He were full of surprise. Yes, everyone just thought that Wan He was in Chang'an. , how to catch him, but if Wan He is not in Chang'an, how will things develop? Li Jiancheng's eyes kept flashing, and then he frowned and said: "I am very fond of Li Shimin's character. Clearly, even if he is not 100% sure about Wan He's stay in Chang'an, there is still a 70% to 80% possibility. Otherwise, he would not have told his father about it. Although this idea is a good one, sir, I'm afraid it's still It doesn’t quite work,”
When Li Jiancheng said this, the others also recovered from their surprise. Everyone thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief. If even a businessman could come up with a better solution than them, that would really make them happy. There was a feeling of embarrassment, and then they all looked at Wan He and snorted coldly. Most of them had sarcastic expressions on their faces, obviously laughing at Wan He's overestimation of his abilities.
Wan He didn't care about this. He had already figured out a comprehensive solution. He even smiled and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Majesty, of course the villain's solution will not be that simple. However, after saying this Before finding a solution, the villain wanted to ask the prince, does the prince really want to put Wan He to death now?"
Hearing what Wan He said, not only Li Jiancheng and all his confidants were stunned, but even Wang Gui, who was next to Wan He and knew Wan He's identity clearly, was also stunned, and his eyes widened. He looked at Wan He with his eyes wide open, and was extremely surprised by Wan He's sudden words. Could it be that Wan He was going to tell Li Jiancheng his identity? This, this, wasn't this a suicide attempt? Wang Gui was immediately shocked, and immediately Wanting to stop Wan He from doing stupid things, he shouted loudly: "We are short of money, so don't talk nonsense. There are so many talented people here, why do you have to come here to do your homework?"
Regarding Wang Gui's sudden voice to stop him, Wan He naturally knew that Wang Gui had good intentions. He quickly looked at Wang Gui with a very subtle wink and said with a smile: "Cousin, I do have a clever plan. I want to donate it to the Crown Prince. Once this clever plan is successful, it will not only help the Crown Prince win the battle, but it may also help the Crown Prince defeat the King of Qin in one fell swoop. However, it depends on the Crown Prince’s answer to my question," he said. , Wan He looked at Li Jiancheng with a smile again, waiting for Li Jiancheng's answer.
Seeing the look Wan He gave, Wang Gui also understood that Wan He must have his own ideas. Although he was still very uneasy, he could only listen to Wan He's words and shut up. Li Jiancheng listened. After Wan He's words, especially when he heard Wan He say that he could defeat Li Shimin in one fell swoop, his heart began to beat wildly with dissatisfaction. Since the last time he and Li Shimin broke up at the banquet, the last trace of brotherly love was gone. , Li Jiancheng now dreams of defeating Li Shimin. The promise Wan He gave him can be said to be what Li Jiancheng wants, but after all, Li Jiancheng is not an ordinary person. He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Wan He After thinking about the question just raised for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Although my father hates Wan He deeply, I have never met Wan He at all, and I have no enmity with Wan He. And Wan He now occupies Luoyang. , There is no conflict with our Li family for the time being, and I’m not saying that I must kill Wan He, at least, I don’t have this idea now,”
This statement is really Li Jiancheng's idea. It can be said that in the current Li family, the only one who really hates Wan He is Li Yuan. At most, Li Xiaogong was injured in Taiyuan. Li Yuan hates Wan He deeply. , The funny thing is that Li Yuan's children, from the eldest Li Jiancheng to the youngest Li Yuanji, don't have much hatred for Wan He. If they want to say hate, I'm afraid Li Jiancheng still hates his own brother Li Shimin more.
After receiving such an answer, Wan He finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least the prerequisites for the plan he had just come up with had been successful. Wan He immediately smiled brighter and nodded slightly towards Li Jiancheng, and then He smiled and said: "Since the prince said this, the villain has the courage to make a suggestion to the prince. Now King Qin has proposed such news to King Tang, and King Tang also asked King Qin to be responsible for arresting Wanhe. If King Qin catches Wanhe, Wan He, then the status of King Qin in front of King Tang will be even higher, so what the Crown Prince has to do now is not to let King Qin capture Wan He."
"Well," Wan He said very logically. Li Jiancheng was a little surprised that a businessman had such knowledge, but soon Li Jiancheng said: "What Mr. Qian said is indeed reasonable, but most of Li Shimin's subordinates are I'm afraid it won't be difficult for the miraculous strangers to catch Wan He. If Wan He is really in Chang'an, I'm afraid it won't take long for Wan He to be caught."
