Chapter 418 They Are Already Deep Rooted
Soon, Chen Qiao arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty." Walking into the Tai Chi Hall, Chen Qiao saw Li Shimin who was resting on a low couch with his eyes closed.

Hearing Chen Qiao's voice, Li Shimin opened his eyes and sat up, "I heard from the people below that you and Zhi'er brought the child into the palace, so I thought you must have something to tell me."

Hearing this, Chen Qiao nodded, "Something has indeed happened in the past few days."

Li Shimin squeezed the space between his brows, then looked around, "Where's Zhi'er and the child? Why didn't they come together?"

"Changle sees that the Crown Princess really likes the two children, so she will stay in Xingqing Palace for the time being. After I finish talking with His Majesty, I will send someone to call her over." Chen Qiao said.

Li Shimin nodded, "If that's the case, then you can have lunch with me in the palace today."

"Okay." Chen Qiao smiled.

"Then let's talk about it now, what happened these few days?" Li Shimin asked.

Chen Qiao straightened his body and asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember Wang Chong, the eldest grandson of the Wang family?"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered who this Wang Chong was, "Remember, he was a well-known playboy in Beijing back then, and even I had heard of him several times. My mother doted on me, and my father didn't discipline me very much, so I grew up to be a domineering character, and I offended many people by being very lawless at the beginning."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Chen Qiao first smiled, and then said: "It's him, and it's because of him this time that things went much smoother."

"Him?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, "I still remember that when he was beaten by Shen Yongda, his grandparents came to the palace and cried, saying that he was raised by gold and jade since he was a child, and he really couldn't bear it. I cursed and kicked me out." Then he looked at Chen Qiao with some doubts, "Why, has he changed his temper?"

"This child was originally a good boy, but his parents were not good, which made him a dandy," Chen Qiao said with a smile, "Since he was beaten by Shen Yongda, this Wang Chong seems to have suddenly become a fool." The empowerment is generally figured out, and I made a lot of contributions when I was in Byzantium before."

"Then tell me, what's going on now?" Li Shimin asked.

"Wang Chong used to like to stay overnight in Flower Street and Willow Lane. After returning to Beijing this time, I asked him to go to those Goulan courtyards again, and spread some rumors that many soldiers in the Black Dragon Army were not convinced by me, and asked him to inquire. Who did the rumors in the capital come from." Chen Qiao said.

"Why do you spread rumors that are not good for you? You should know that those rumors that have intensified a few days ago have made the people have a lot of doubts about you." Li Shimin said with a frown, inevitably a little worried about Chen Qiao's situation.

Chen Qiaodao: "If there are no such rumors, how can we force the black hands behind the scenes to show their feet as soon as possible?"

"You mean to lead the snake out of the hole?" Li Shimin said.

Chen Qiao nodded, "Before, Zhao Xuxu and Sun's family had been hiding very deeply, and the few people caught were nothing more than small fish and shrimps, and they couldn't shake the foundation of the three of them at all."

"I really didn't expect that the three of them have such a huge power. If they hadn't been eager for quick success to deal with you this time, I wouldn't have been able to catch any clues about them." Li Shimin said with a sigh.

Originally, he thought that the most entrenched family in the Tang Dynasty was the four major families that had already been abolished by Chen Qiao's subsequent rectification of food and wages, but he did not expect that the three families of Zhao, Xu, Sun and Sun were even worse than the four major families.What they surfaced now is only the tip of the iceberg, presumably there are more forces hidden under the water by them.

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Chen Qiao said, "Wang Chong told me last night that Zhao Renyi, Patriarch of the Zhao Family, wanted to see him and asked him to go to Moranfang tonight."

"This is..." Li Shimin looked at Chen Qiao hesitantly.

"If our predictions are correct, then Zhao Renyi should have listened to what Wang Chong said about hating me and the Black Dragon Army, and wanted to pull Wang Chong into the water together." Chen Qiao looked at Li Shimin and said, "Otherwise, given that they have been I have always been cautious and cautious, and I will never show my face in front of others easily."

Li Shimin nodded, "Thinking about it, that's the case. However, according to the information obtained earlier, Zhao Renyi is the most powerful person among the three families of Zhao, Xu, and Sun. How can he believe that Wang Chong is indeed true just based on rumors?" Discord with you?"

Chen Qiao smiled, "A few months ago, the head of the Sun family, Sun Qi, spent a lot of money in the capital and bought a Goulan courtyard that was about to close down, as a place for them to collect information in the capital." Chen Qiaoduan Pick up a cup of tea, "Maybe they won't believe what Wang Chong and Qian San said, but they will definitely believe what their own eyeliner heard."

"Bought a Goulan courtyard?" Li Shimin frowned, "It seems that they are really ambitious."

"Wang Chong will go to the appointment today, and we will soon know what the three Zhao, Xu, and Sun families are planning." Chen Qiao said.

Li Shimin nodded, "As far as I know, Zhao Renyi is used to being a good person. I heard that the people of Yunhe City all regard him as a god, but such a person..." He said and looked at Chen Qiao , with a mocking smile, "The more perfect a person is in the rumors, the more people want to tear off his perfect skin to see what's going on."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Chen Qiao smiled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zhao Renyi's fake skin will soon be gone."

The two looked at each other, then laughed together.

After that, the two talked for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Qiao wanted to send someone to call Li Lizhi over, but was stopped by Li Shimin, "Let's go, let's go to Xingqing Palace." He turned his head again Instructed the chief eunuch, "We will set up a meal in Xingqing Palace later."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the eunuch turned around and went to the imperial dining room.

The two chatted all the way to Xingqing Palace, and from time to time on the road, they could see drops of water falling after the snow had melted.

"The Chinese New Year will be in a few days. Do you want to eat this year's New Year's Eve dinner with your subordinates at home?" Li Shimin asked.

Chen Qiao shook his head, "No, Shi Lintong and Xin Zhicheng will accompany their wives back to Loulan, Shen Yongda said that he has already agreed with Yun Qian that the family of three will have a New Year's Eve dinner at the house, and Wang Yi will accompany his wife back to Loulan. Xu Guogong's mansion celebrates the new year, and only one Nase will come to my mansion."

"In this case, why don't you all come to the palace for a New Year's Eve dinner?" Li Shimin said enthusiastically, "I haven't celebrated the New Year with Zhi'er for several years, and now that my two children are grown up, let's have a good time this year." fan."

"Alright," Chen Qiao nodded.

"I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to Chengqian, and I think he will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow night at the latest." Li Shimin said.

"King Huai?" Chen Qiao was a little surprised. He thought that Li Shimin would never let Li Chengqian step into the capital again in his life, but he never expected to call Li Chengqian back to Beijing for the New Year.

Li Shimin bent his lips and nodded, "Yes, thinking about it, I haven't seen Cheng Qian for a few years. I don't know how he is doing now," Li Shimin said, smiling even better. , many corrupt officials were punished, and a few capable ones were promoted, and now the people in Qingzhou City are honest and honest, and the people are well-fed and well-fed, much better than before."

Hearing this, Chen Qiao felt a little surprised at first, and then felt that it was reasonable. After all, Li Chengqian had undergone great changes before leaving the capital. Uneasy, now that he is a prince, he can make some political achievements." Chen Qiao said.

"That's right," Li Shimin said, "When I heard the news, I only thought that Chengqian was cultivating his own power again, but he sent a lot of people to investigate openly and secretly. If there is nothing important, what Chengqian does the most is to accompany Su Shi to plant flowers and fish in the mansion, and live a very leisurely life."
