The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 693 Wang Xuance's Ambition
"Hmph! These people entered the East Palace with ulterior motives in the first place, and it is understandable that they are disrupting the Flying Tiger Army at this time. They are afraid that my Flying Tiger Army is not chaotic enough, and they are even more afraid that my father will investigate and find that the charges against me, the crown prince, are too light." Li Yan complained indignantly.

If human nature is not restrained, greed will indeed be endless.

These people were like wild boars that entered a cage to eat corn. They were cautious at first, but later, when they saw others making money unscrupulously and that they, the Flying Tiger General, did not care, they naturally started to commit suicide with confidence.

At this point, Wang Xuance seemed a little surprised and said, "It's just that, Your Highness, Liu Rengui, who was recommended by the Prince of Lu, did not take any money. He honestly recruited soldiers according to the method you stipulated, and the military ranks of various ranks did not exceed the standards. Everything was carried out according to the regulations of the court."

"Ok?"

Li Yan frowned: "Are you sure he didn't sell any official positions?"

"I can confirm that the people responsible for recruiting soldiers for the Flying Tiger Army of the Zhonglang Generals were all sent by me."

"Liu Rengui's rear guard of 2,000 men is strong and powerful, and the leading officers are veterans of the Sixteen Guards. The officers under them previously held the same positions in the Sixteen Guards, but only their ranks were demoted, and none of them were promoted. It is clear at a glance that this is in full compliance with the regulations."

At this point, Wang Xuance smiled and said, "In my opinion, even if the other four guards were to unite, they would probably not be a match for the 2,000-man rear guard."

Li Yan also showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that Li Yuanchang was so selfish and greedy. The person recommended this time was actually a general who could abide by his duties and was down-to-earth.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sold the General of the Guard to Uncle Seven. Can't I charge less now?"

Li Yan smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful in his heart: "Xuan Ce, calculate it together, how much money can the other four guards collect in total?"

Wang Xuance's eyebrows twitched slightly and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Your Highness, you don't want money at all.
You want both money and life. Liu Rengui either saw the danger or is a general with integrity.

Wang Xuance flipped through the records in his hand and said, "Your Highness, according to my records, the average amount of money received by each of the four guards was more than one million strings of cash. The total amount was more than six million strings of cash."

hiss.
Li Yan was shocked when he heard this. He originally thought that these people were greedy, but he didn't expect that they would go to such an extent. A guard with only 2,000 people dared to amass more than one million yuan. They not only recovered the capital they spent on buying the General of the Central Army, but also made a profit.

This is obviously due to the fact that several of his brothers are fanning the flames behind the scenes. Are they afraid that their fall is not big enough?
"If that's the case, then it's time to close the net. If we delay for too long, it will be bad if the dirty money is diverted and squandered."

Li Yan smiled slightly and ordered: "Xuan Ce, contact Quan Wanji and ask him to start the action!"

"Okay, Your Highness, I will arrange it right away. I guarantee that the King of Shu will take action within three days." Wang Xuance also smiled knowingly, secretly admiring the Crown Prince's cleverness ever since he had taken Quan Wanji into his pocket.

It is so convenient for Donggong to do whatever he wants.

He also needs to speed up his pace with the King of Wei and the King of Qi. If the other princes and even the civil and military ministers in the court have their own people under them, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the emperor in the dark night, who can control the situation at any time and even indirectly influence the situation in the court.

Since joining the Jinyiwei, Wang Xuance's horizons have been completely opened. The open competition is led by the emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not dare to expand his strength easily due to the emperor's majesty; but in secret, it is a blank, and His Royal Highness can completely grab land on a large scale and expand his influence to the whole world bit by bit.

This filled Wang Xuance with great ambition. He and the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, which he secretly led, were going to become a crucial force in deciding the fate of the world. After truly understanding the structure of the Jinyiwei, Wang Xuance believed in his heart that the Zhenfu Division was the real core soul of the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei, who was responsible for external supervision, was just a cover-up for the Zhenfusi. The existence of the Jinyiwei was only to cover up the real power of the Zhenfusi.

When the day comes when Jinweiyi's information network for monitoring the world is truly mature, Your Highness, sitting in the East Palace, will be able to know what is happening anywhere in the world and the true thoughts of any force. Even if the Emperor wants to shake the Crown Prince's position, it may not be so easy, right?
From that day on, Wang Xuance put all his energy and thoughts into expanding the power of the Zhenfu Division and created a dense information network for Li Yan to control the world in the future. The Jinyiwei of the later Ming Dynasty began to commit violence and plunder more than 700 years ago, showing its unique charm.

That afternoon, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the scorching sun was shining on the entire city. The early summer sun was very comfortable. Quan Wanji mentioned the northern Hu Shangyun who he had met last time when selling horses in front of Li Ke. Li Ke became interested and took Quan Wanji to the West Market. While looking for the familiar figure, he asked the Hu people who sold northern horses.

After looking around, Li Ke found out that Young Master Yun had not come to the horse market in the past one or two months. He felt a little regretful. The last time they met, Li Ke discovered that this Young Master Yun was a beautiful woman dressed as a man, but he was in a playful mood and did not expose her.

I thought I could take advantage of the situation and tease this free-spirited young lady, but I never saw her again after that.

Since he couldn't find Master Yun, Li Ke and Quan Wanji wandered around the horse market. Occasionally, Li Ke would come to the horse market to look around, and if he came across a top-quality horse, he would take it into his mansion. This was also one of Li Ke's great interests.

At the horse market in the West Market of Chang'an, horse merchants from Dayuan and Tulun brought a large number of fine horses from the Western Regions, and there were also Hu merchants from various Turkic tribes in the north who secretly sold war horses that were transported to the Central Plains without the knowledge of Jie Li, and they were all top-quality war horses.

Of course, if you travel a long way and avoid many checkpoints to transport only some inferior horses, then it is not necessary and you can't sell them at a good price. Since the risks are the same, it is better to transport some horses of better quality so that you can sell them at a high price.

There is no shortage of good horses on the grassland, and there is no shortage of money in Chang'an!
"Sir, horse selection is a profound subject!"

"First, look at its teeth to tell its age. Second, look at its pedigree. Third, look at whether its muscles are well-proportioned and strong, especially its leg tendons. Fourth, look at whether it is docile and has a good character. Finally, look at how fast it runs, how it can stamina and how it can jump."

Li Ke looked at the herds of horses everywhere with great interest, while showing off his talent in horse appraisal.

Seeing that Quan Wanji was listening attentively, Li Ke pointed at a tall horse from the Western Regions with great interest and commented casually: "Look, this Western Region horse is taller and wider than the northern horses. It has a slender body, a strong and powerful posture, strong explosive power, and fast speed. When it gallops, people feel like they are galloping at lightning speed, just like riding on clouds."

Then he pointed at the northern Hu horses and said with shining eyes: "The war horses of the northern desert are slightly smaller in size and not very fast, but their biggest advantage is their strong endurance and they are easy to take care of. Just a little food will allow them to carry you for long distances."

"Although the horses from the Western Regions are fast, they are too arrogant and picky about food. They need to be fed with fine feed and can only run for an hour or two at most. They must rest and replenish their energy. But the horses from the North are different. They are very resilient and can eat anything they want. They are easy to handle and will not feel tired even if they run for a whole day."

"The most important thing is that even in the face of extremely bad weather such as strong winds, heavy rains, severe cold and scorching heat, its combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected. If we really want to arm cavalry on a large scale, the Hu Wan in the north is better."

At the end, seeing that Quan Wanji was listening attentively and looked shocked by him, Li Ke showed a slightly smug look on his face and concluded: "So these two types of horses have their own advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on how you use them."

"Your Highness is indeed well-versed in the classics. This is the first time Wan Ji has heard of all these things."

Quan Wanji exclaimed with a slightly respectful expression: "Otherwise, why would I always be willing to stay with you? The book says that when three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher! Every time I travel with Your Highness, it is a good opportunity to increase my talents and accumulate knowledge."

"Hahaha, sir, stop praising me all the time!"

Li Ke was obviously very benefited: "Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. We all have strengths and weaknesses that are worse than others. We learn from each other and improve together. This is the only way for us to continue to grow and surpass others."

Li Ke smiled and shook his head. Quan Wanji was a civil servant who was good at scheming and was not very interested in military affairs. It was obvious that he was trying to please him.

such a pity!
Cheng Huailiang was unexpectedly awarded a title, and Chai Zhewei took over the Zuotunwei Army. He was in the military camp all day and night and had no time to accompany the emperor. Therefore, Li Ke usually had only Quan Wanji to accompany him, although Quan Wanji was not good at military strategy.

But he is good at planning and can cater to Li Ke's wishes. Unlike Cen Wenben, who is always self-righteous, condescending and indifferent to his teachings. In this respect, Quan Wanji is more to Li Ke's liking.

Quan Wanji nodded in approval and sighed again in his heart, if only Yu could be born, why would Liang be born?
If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the King of Shu's talent, courage and learning would have been outstanding among all the princes. The reason why he suffered repeated setbacks was, after all, that his opponents were too powerful. The important officials in the court who supported the Crown Prince were all talented people who followed the Emperor in his campaigns to conquer the entire Tang Dynasty.

The King of Shu is young and can be compared with other princes of the same age, but compared with them, he is not good enough.
