Chapter 88: win the trust of the people
Taking advantage of the night, Li Yin took the secret music to the side door of the palace. There was a loose stone here. After he settled in the Shu palace, he asked Jin Daqian to make this shadow box. As long as he took it away, he could see a slot inside. Li Yin Put the secret letter inside and go back. This secret letter was sent directly to Li Ke by Li Min. According to the normal procedure, the secret letter will first go to the Ministry of Education, and then transferred to Li Shimin by the Ministry of Education, but these In the department, Li Yin has no one trustworthy.
Back to the South Courtyard, Li Yin saw that Cui Yingying was still sitting there, with a look of worry on his face, Li Yin felt guilty and said: "I made you suffer, and I came to this place with me, and now I put you in danger again."
"Your Highness was joking. Yingying is not worried about herself but is worried about His Highness. First she suffered such injustice and was relegated to Sichuan, but now she is still not safe here, and she is always in fear."
Li Yin took her into his arms and comforted her: "Fortune is where misfortune lies, and misfortune is where blessings rest. In Chang'an, I lived a life of leisure, so this disaster is imminent. Although I am facing difficulties in Yizhou , but not necessarily a good thing.”
Cui Yingying looked up at Li Yin: "His Royal Highness really sees it, how can this be a good thing?"
"At first, I still had a headache about how to firmly control this Yizhou in my own hands. Hasn't the high authority just given me such an opportunity?"
"But the forces of these five prominent families are intertwined. Even if the high power is removed, it is just like a big tree with its branches and leaves cut off.
Li Yin did not speak, thinking that to deal with these landlords and riches, he had to rely on the strength of the common people.
The next morning, Li Yin opened the secret slot of the side door, and the secret music inside was gone, but there was an extra piece of paper. Li Yin opened it to look, and the color immediately changed. It recorded the conversation between Gao Quan and Gao Yuanzhi last night. , bribed the barbarians to attack Yizhou, and took the opportunity to kill Li Yin's plan.
"Md, you are ruthless!" Li Yin swears, and his lungs explode at this sight. It turns out that the barbarian riots two years ago were all a scene directed by a high-powered director.
Li Yin stopped eating, so he sent someone to call Shangguanyi and Qin Huaiyu and show them the letter.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, Your Highness, I will return to Zhechong Mansion to gather the soldiers and rush into the Governor's Mansion to fetch you the dog's head of high authority!" After taking office as the captain of Zhechong, Qin Huaiyu moved out of the Shu Palace and ate with the soldiers every day. Live together, regard the soldiers as brothers, and quickly won the trust of the soldiers.
"Captain Qin, don't worry, this high authority is just planning in this way, and he doesn't want to take the risk of introducing those barbarians into Yizhou City. What if he can't control these barbarians? What he cares most about now is His Highness's attitude." Shangguanyi persuaded, and then he turned to Li Yin: "His Royal Highness, we should pretend to show our favor to the high authority now, let him relax his vigilance, secretly we step up to collect his criminal evidence, and unite with the local prominent families. After all, the high authority is easy to deal with, but these If the prominent families unite to cause chaos, Zhechong Mansion's troops will not be enough!"
Li Yin thought so deeply, and said, "But how should I show my kindness?"
Shangguanyi hesitated for a while and said: "Now we can only make Wang Yinlong feel wronged?"
"how do I say this?"
"The minister put Wang Yinlong in jail for defaming officials. One is to let the high authority think that we are showing weakness, and the other is to protect Wang Yinlong. After all, the high authority has already suspected Wang Yinlong, and it may be against him."
Li Yin nodded, "Let's do it this way. It will take at least half a month to wait until the soldier talisman is in hand. During this half month, everything will remain the same. You should also pay a visit to the famous families in the place. Even if they can't help us at that time, I hope they will help us." Don't help Gao Quan."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Yin walked up to Qin Huaiyu and said: "I'm afraid you will have to work hard these days. The Zhechong Mansion must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and wait for the signal from the Wang Mansion at any time. If something goes wrong, it will be up to you!"
Qin Huaiyu Zheng nodded.
Shangguanyi left the palace and did not go to the governor's mansion immediately, but disguised himself and went to Wang Yinlong's house. At this time, Wang Yinlong was forcing Wang Yinlong to vote for the king of Shu.
"What!" After Shangguanyi told Wang Yinlong that Gao Quan had suspected that he was secretly colluding with the Shu Palace, Wang Yinlong almost gritted his steel teeth.
"Master Shangguan, Lord Shangguan, you killed me. If I had known this, I should have shut you out. Hey..."
Shangguanyi said angrily: "Wang Yinlong, why are you still so obsessed with obsession? Under the authority of high power, you will never have a bright future. His Highness has already promised that if you join him, you will be a county magistrate at least in the future. This time you will be taken into custody." , also to protect you!"
Yinlong misses the transfer, and now he has offended the high authority, he has no way out and can only rely on Li Yin, he said: "Okay, I am willing to work for the king of Shu!"
Shangguanyi was overjoyed: "But I have to wrong you for a while first!"
"I hope you keep your word with the king of Shu. I, Wang Yinlong, will take it for this grievance!" After finishing speaking, Wang Yinlong whispered a word into Shangguanyi's ear. Shangguanyi was surprised, and then became ecstatic.
At the Assassin’s Office, Shangguanyi put the document to arrest Wang Yinlong in front of Gao Quan. Gao Quan glanced at the evidence of Wang Yinlong’s crime listed on it, and was overjoyed. It seemed that the King of Shu was still a smart man.
Shangguanyi exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Gao Quan said to Cheng Jian: "Go to the inner treasury to get 10,000 taels of gold and send it to the Shu Palace, and say it is a gift from me to the Shu King."
Cheng Jian opened his mouth, wanting to ask if this was Li Yin's plan to delay the attack, but up to now, no one from the palace had left the city gate, so he didn't mention it after thinking about it.
Shangguanyi attacked everywhere, and Li Yin was not idle either. He and Jin Daqian went to Nanshi and posted the notice of conscription of labor. After wandering around the village for a day yesterday, Li Yin realized that the surnames did not trust the imperial court very much. He just sneered at him. In order to improve the situation, he had to learn the method of winning the trust of the people during Shang Yang's reform.
The notice was posted, and after a while, many people gathered around, pointing at the content of the notice, a scholar squeezed in, shook his head and began to read: "The Palace of the King of Shu recruited four thousand laborers to build the underground pipeline of Yizhou City, You can sign up here from now on, and those who sign up will get three copper coins for daily work, and the palace will provide food in the morning, noon and evening."
After the scholar finished reading, the people around immediately exploded, "It's true, I heard it right, three pennies a day!"
"It must be lying to us ordinary people again. We were asked to bring the tools when we were conscripted. How could we return the money!"
"Who is this King of Shu? I haven't heard of it!"
"yes!"
"..." There were more and more people around, Li Yin gave Jin Daqian a glance, Jin Daqian understood, and walked to the notice.
