Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Recruiting members for the spy team is an extremely troublesome task. In addition to ensuring the loyalty of these people, they are also required to have the corresponding abilities.

Du He thought for a moment and said, "Qinglongtang will recruit 50 people. The more people we can recruit, the better."

"White Tiger Hall and Suzaku Hall each have a recruitment target of 200 people, and Suzaku Hall has a recruitment target of 500 people."

“When recruiting people, loyalty is the first consideration, followed by ability.”

Now is just the starting stage, and it is impossible to expand the team to such a large size all at once. However, with the support of the big tree of Donggong, it is not a difficult thing.

Then Du He discussed with the five of them for more than two hours, going over all the issues, big and small.

After discussing the expansion of the spies, Du He also talked about recent important matters.

"I have received a secret report from others that the King of Wei, the King of Han, and the King of Teng will make unusual moves in the near future, and we need to send someone to keep an eye on them!"

"Deputy Commander Pei, this matter is left to you to arrange. As for the manpower, select the best from the current spies first."

"We must also find a way to incite the core members of these three palaces to rebel and find out the core information."

Now Du He is just assigning the task, and the specific implementation arrangements require in-depth thinking and discussion.

This detailed method of action needs to be discussed by Pei Xingjian and the four small commanders, and finally submitted to him for review and decision.

Otherwise, if he had to give advice on such trivial matters, the East Palace's spy team would be useless.

Du He continued, "Prince Teng will go to his fiefdom next month. This is the best time to place someone there."

"Your primary task in the next two days is to discuss how to place people around Prince Teng."

Then Du He introduced to the five of them how Prince Teng liked to make money, build pavilions, and pursue beauties.

In fact, Prince Teng is the easiest person to deal with, because he is very clear about what he likes, and his hobbies are also his weaknesses, which are the best breakthrough points to infiltrate him.

The most difficult opponent to deal with is the King of Wei, who does not have many weaknesses and is surrounded by a large group of think tanks.

Pei Xingjian replied with a serious expression: "Yes, sir!"

Du He stood up and said, "In order to avoid being exposed, you don't have to come to the East Palace to report in the future. You can just set up a contact point in Chang'an City."

"Deputy Commander Pei, these tasks are left to you to complete. Tell me how much silver it will cost."

"Today's discussion ends here. Everyone please leave."

The palace is full of Li Shimin's spies, especially in sensitive places like the East Palace, where all forces are eyeing.

However, Li Chengqian gathered several spy leaders in the Eastern Palace, which was no different from taking off pants to fart.

There is still a long way to go if we want to build a team of spies that are elusive and can gather information first-classly.

Pei Xingjian and four small commanders stood up together, they bowed respectfully to Du He and said.

"As ordered!"

After they finished their ceremony, they quickly left the side hall.

Du He took out the list and looked at it for a while before putting it into his wide sleeves and walking out of the hall shaking his head.

Not far outside the main hall.

When one of the prince's personal guards saw Du He coming out, he hurriedly came forward to report, "Prince Consort Du, the prince has feelings for you."

Forehead...

Du He's expression paused.

I didn't expect that Li Chengqian has so many things to do. I just asked him to take over the spy business, and now he has something else to do.

Du He waved his hand and said, "Take me there."

"promise!"

Led by the prince's personal guards, Du He came to a secluded garden in the East Palace.

As she walked in, Du He discovered that all the maids inside had been sent away, and in the huge garden, only Li Chengqian was walking slowly with a cane.

Du He walked over and said, "Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

Li Chengqian said as he walked: "Du He, last night the emperor talked to me for a while. The emperor asked which generals in the court could take over the position of the Right Guard General."

"I recommended Su Dingfang and Xi Junmai to the emperor at that time, but the emperor did not give a clear response."

"Du He, who do you think the emperor will promote?"

The reason why he recommended his own people to be the General of the Right Guard was that he always kept in mind what Du He had told him.

He must cultivate his own military power in order to consolidate his position as crown prince.

When Du He heard what Li Chengqian said, his expression froze instantly, and he looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

Good guy!

Is Li Chengqian worried that his father won't be afraid of him?

You know, Li Shimin is only 45 years old now, and is at an energetic age, but Li Chengqian intends to insert his hands into the military. What a dirty trick!

Although General Su Dingfang of the Right Tunwei had some military achievements, his seniority among the generals under Li Shimin was not even ranked at the moment.

And Xi Junmai, who had just been promoted to General of the Right Guard, was obviously even less likely to do so.

Du He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, didn't you find that there was something wrong with the official position Xi Jun bought?"

Li Chengqian was stunned: "Du He, what do you mean by this?"

As the General of the Right Guard, is there anything wrong with him?

Du He said softly, "Your Highness, what is Xue Wanche's current official position?"

Li Chengqian blurted out: "Right Guard General."

Forehead...

As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly became frozen.

According to the military ranks of the Tang Dynasty, each of the Sixteen Guards had a Grand General and a General.

Now there are two people holding the position of Right Guard General at the same time, which is obviously unreasonable.

Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Du He, do you mean that the emperor wants to promote Xue Wanche to the position of Right Guard General?"

"But before this, there was no sign that Li Daliang was in trouble?"

"Father, you can't be the prophet for me, or take action against Li Daliang, right?"

When Du He heard Li Chengqian's last words, a row of black lines instantly appeared on his forehead.

This unfortunate kid is really good at making blind guesses.

Du He said unhappily, "Your Highness, the post of General of the Left Guard has been vacant since the death of Qin Shubao of the Hu Kingdom."

"All matters of the Zuowuwei are now in the charge of General Li Junxian of the Zuowuwei."

"Your Majesty probably wants to wait for the right time to promote Xue Wanche to the rank of General of the Left Guard."

In addition to serving as the General of the Left Wuwei Guard, Li Junxian also served as the General of the Left Qianniu Guard. He usually led the Left Qianniu Guard to protect Li Shimin.

Therefore, Li Shimin would not promote him to the position of General of the Left Guard, and Xue Wanche, who had made great military achievements, was the only candidate.

If Xue Wanche could rush over quickly and destroy the main force of Xueyantuo in the battle to lift the siege of Youzhou, then he would definitely be the General of the Left Guard.

Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "Du He, since my father already has a candidate in mind, why did he ask me?"

It was a pity that he had been very serious in introducing the abilities of each general to his father, but it was all in vain.

Du He held his forehead helplessly and said, "Your Highness, is it possible that His Majesty is testing you?"
