Chapter 6 I need you to do something

The eunuch brought a mat for Zhao Jie, spread it on the ground, and placed a table in front of the mat. He served tea and some snacks to Li Chengqian and Zhao Jie respectively.

Li Chengqian looked at the so-called tea in the bowl in front of him with a frown, but Zhao Jie drank it with relish.

The tea in the Tang Dynasty was different from the tea in later generations. It was a tea soup made by brewing tea leaves with boiling water.

In the Tang Dynasty, tea was made by cutting the prepared tea cakes into powder, adding them to boiling water after "sieving" and boiling them into a paste.

At the same time, salt, green onions, ginger, orange peel, mint, etc. were added to it, which was similar to a terrible "Hu La Tang" that was extremely unpalatable.

Li Chengqian couldn't drink such tea soup, although this kind of tea was not something that ordinary people could afford.

Only the nobles could afford such high-end drinks, ordinary people dared not even think about it.

"Prince, why don't you drink?" Zhao Jie shook the tea in the bowl with one hand and ate the cakes at the same time, and asked Li Chengqian who didn't seem to want to drink at all.

"It's not very appetizing!" Li Chengqian said, "Let's not talk about this, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Jie hurriedly took another sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, clapped his hands and hurriedly expressed his position: "Prince, what is it, just tell me, I Zhao Jie will do it for you even if I risk my life."

"Chengji, you wait outside the hall, no one is allowed to come in without my order." Li Chengqian said to Hegan Chengji on the side.

"Yes!" Hegan Chengji took the order and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

Li Chengqian winked at Wang Quan and asked him to go out and keep an eye on it.

Zhao Jie saw that Li Chengqian had carefully dismissed his men, and it was obvious that he didn't want anyone but them to hear what was going to happen next.

"Zhao Jie, this time we are planning something big, are you on the same page with me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The prince and I are of course on the same page. We have sworn an oath of blood, drunk blood wine, and sworn a poisonous oath. Could it be that the prince has forgotten all of this?" Zhao Jie said.

"Of course I haven't forgotten. I think about it and I think this time the planning of something big is a little too hasty and the preparations are not sufficient. We'd better not act rashly during this period of time." Li Chengqian said.

Since Li Chengqian was not going to take the path of rebellion again, he must appease these people under his command. Otherwise, no one knows what will happen.

Will the news leak out? If Li Er finds out something, he will be exposed once he investigates.

Therefore, Li Chengqian must eliminate this unstable factor, that is, let them suspend their rebellion for the time being.

This is also an important reason why he called Zhao Jie over. He hopes to convey it to others through Zhao Jie.

The reason why Li Chengqian didn't call them all over was that he was afraid that too many people would talk too much and it would easily attract other people's attention.

"Your Highness! Why is this? We have been preparing for the rebellion for a long time. In the palace, we have Li Anyan, the General of the Left Tunwei, as an internal response, and outside the palace, we have the Minister of Personnel and Duke of Chen, Hou Junji, as external aid."

"With the two of them here, plus our loyalty to Your Highness, Your Highness can attack the palace with just one order and imitate the emperor of that year. We can accomplish great things." Zhao Jie said.

Zhao Jie didn't understand why the prince became timid at this critical moment.

Because Li Chengqian had experienced the previous life, he understood many things more clearly than them. Rebellion was not the only way out. It was only when it was absolutely necessary that they had to do it.

But even if they succeeded in the rebellion, what would happen? Li Anyan and Hou Junji alone could not control the situation.

The current situation was different from the situation when Li Yuan was in power.

Li Chengqian's current strength could not be compared with that of Li Er at that time. Even the hidden prince Li Jiancheng was stronger than Li Chengqian now.

What's more, Li Er now was much stronger than Li Yuan at that time, and his ability to control the situation was far better than Li Yuan.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is not to think about how to rebel, but how to strengthen oneself.

"The current situation is completely incomparable to the time when my father was the King of Qin. After all, our strength is still too weak. If we force it, we will only be crushed to pieces. Therefore, we can only take it slowly." Li Chengqian said.

"But Your Highness! Even if we can wait, can the King of Wei and others wait? The King of Wei wants to replace Your Highness all the time!" Zhao Jie said.

Li Chengqian knew this very well in his heart without Zhao Jie's reminder.

The conflict between him and Li Tai has reached an irreconcilable point. Li Er should bear a great responsibility for this situation.

Li Tai is talented and intelligent, and is deeply favored by Li Er. This makes Li Tai have ideas about the throne and the heart to seize the throne.

This made Li Chengqian jealous, so he sent Hegan Chengji to assassinate Li Tai.

Who knew that Hegan Chengji failed to do his job well, failed to kill Li Tai, and almost gave himself up.

From then on, the two brothers became a deadlock.

"I know all this, you don't need to remind me, you don't have to worry about the King of Wei! I have my own way to deal with it. The most important thing now is not King Tai of Wei."

"Remember this! I want you to contact Hou Junji and others, and make sure they burn all the letters they exchanged with me without leaving any trace. You must do this properly." Li Chengqian said decisively.

He would not allow Zhao Jie to have any doubts, otherwise it would be detrimental to his next plan.

"I understand!" Zhao Jie nodded in response, seeing that Li Chengqian didn't seem to be joking.

"I want you to understand that this is for our future, so that we can rest assured! From now on, you will be in charge of contacting Hou Junji, Li Anyan and others."

"In the future, if it is not necessary, I'd better not meet them easily, so as not to waste our previous efforts." Li Chengqian said. Zhao

Jie nodded. Since the prince said so, he couldn't say much. Since the prince was not anxious, why should he be anxious.

"By the way, Zhao Jie, do you still remember the Grand Princess of Tong'an?" Li Chengqian asked suddenly.

"I remember, this lady is very powerful! When I was young, I was taught a lesson by her many times. Every time I mentioned her, I was terrified! Why did His Highness suddenly mention this lady?" Zhao Jie said with lingering fear.

I really don't understand what's wrong with the crown prince today. First he stopped the big thing of rebellion, and now he suddenly mentioned this powerful aunt.

Princess Tong'an is Li Yuan's sister from the same mother, and in terms of seniority, she is Li Chengqian's grandmother.

"That was because you always made him angry when you were young. If he doesn't punish you, who else should he punish?"

"My aunt gave my grandson a name called Wang Fangyi, did you know that?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It seems that there is such a person, but he and his mother seemed to be driven out of the house by my aunt, and now no one knows where they are. How did the prince think of this person?" Zhao Jie asked curiously.

Wang Fangyi, whose courtesy name was Zhongxiang, was from Qi, Bingzhou. He was a famous general during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He lost his father at an early age. At that time, because Princess Tongan was powerful and rejected his mother Li, Wang Fangyi and his mother moved to Fengquan Villa.

It was not until Princess Tongan died that Wang Fangyi returned to Chang'an.
