They were so engrossed in their own excitement that they had forgotten about this.
Seeing that Zhang Feng was guessing, Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Hey! You're talking about this! I won't let Qian 'er take the lead in this matter. After all, you know how much I want the credit for last night's incident, and so does Qian' er. However, this matter was entrusted to the Crown Prince by His Majesty. Naturally, Qian 'er has to tell the Crown Prince everything he knows. That's why he's acting this way. Although this is a great achievement, we can't do something like overshadowing the Crown Prince! "
Realization dawned on Zhang Feng when he heard this.
Li Qian and the Crown Prince's names only differed by one character. This was already considered a taboo. The reason why the Emperor wanted the Crown Prince to do this was to see what the Crown Prince could come up with.
However, based on the historical descriptions of the Crown Prince, as well as Zhang Feng's own speculation, the Crown Prince was a complete coward. How could he have done what he did last night?
Therefore, many people in the imperial court would be unhappy with him.
He needed a more dignified matter to boost morale. The Emperor had met Li Qian last night, so the matter was clear. Whoever stepped in now would have the same result.
The reason why Lao Li was so agitated at this time was because …
Zhang Feng also understood.
It was nothing more than last night's great gain.
When he thought about Li Shimin's current behavior, Zhang Feng instantly understood. Could it be that this guy was impatient to let Li Shimin go first because he had obtained the trade rights of Qiuci?
At this thought, Zhang Feng could not help but smile.
He was indeed a singer and merchant.
This kind of thinking was really something that would not rise early if there were no benefits!
"Lao Li."
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Li Qian can take on this big responsibility. I'll get him a protective gear later. Just wait and see."
Hearing this, Li Shimin cupped his fists and said happily, "That's great, that's great!"
When Yu Shinan and the others saw this, they were a little anxious. However, it was not the right time to say anything, so they could only silently endure it.
From the beginning to the end, the old scholar was like a wooden man, not saying a word.
It was as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
However, he was looking at Zhang Feng with a smile on his face.
It was as if he was admiring an extremely precious piece of art.
Zhang Feng seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Since you're here today, Lao Li, you must be here with a mission, right?"
Li Shimin awkwardly chuckled. "That's right. Although Hou Junji jumped into the river, His Majesty has always been brooding over this remaining evil. Moreover, with Hou Junji's death, His Majesty is worried that something might happen on the border, so he sent me to ask if there should be a thorough investigation."
Li Shimin was tormented to death by this matter. It was like a stone pressing down on his heart. If it was not removed, he would never feel comfortable.
This was why Li Shimin was so cautious this time and wanted to ask again.
Although Zhang Feng had said that this was the end of the matter, Li Shimin was still worried.
Zhang Feng, on the other hand, was a little confused by Li Shimin's words.
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin for a long time before saying, "I think you want to see the Tang Dynasty fall into internal strife, right?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
He hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Feng waved his hand. "Come, come, come. I'll tell you about it."
As he spoke, Zhang Feng pulled Li Shimin to a sand table in the corner of the room and said, "Look, this is Chang 'an City, this is Tubo, this is the Turks, this is Qiuci, and this, this, this, this is the Five Surnames and Seven Clans. For Hou Junji to cause such chaos on the border, what does this mean?
"If there is even the slightest movement on the border of Chang 'an, there will be a chain reaction. Hou Junji's death has caused these people to be suspicious and worried. If His Majesty moves at this time, then … Lao Li, we have to make preparations right now."
Li Shimin was taken aback.
"What preparations?"
"Preparations to run! If the Five Surnames and Seven Clans move out at the same time, it will definitely involve the border and the military. If we don't run, are we just waiting for death? "
Li Shimin's lips twitched.
"Aren't I just asking? It's not like I'm really going to do anything. Let's just let this matter pass. Right, that thing outside, I heard that it's going to be sent to the phosphate fertilizer factory?"
Li Shimin hurriedly stopped talking.
Although he knew that there was a problem with this matter, he still wanted to ask Zhang Feng if he had a way out of this situation. After all, it was very awkward to be in such a passive position all the time.
But he hadn't expected Zhang Feng to say the same thing twice.
And if he added the last time, it would be three times.
It was very rare for him to say the same thing three times.
After all, whenever he asked more than two times, Zhang Feng would always give a solution. But this time was an exception. Three times, Zhang Feng had chosen the same answer.
What did this mean?
This meant that not even Zhang Feng had a way out of this situation!
