The Crown Prince's Intelligence, Li Ke Prophecy of a Great Disaster!
After Li Ke scolded Yi Jun, he directly left.
From the beginning to the end, he had never forgotten his goal. Helping the people deal with those beasts was one thing, and letting Xue Rengui lead the reinforcements was another.
Thus, when he saw that the time was right, Li Ke directly let go of the responsibility and handed the army to Xue Rengui to handle.
On one hand, it was to make it easier for Xue Rengui to take charge of the reinforcements. On the other hand, it was to test Xue Rengui's methods and see if he could clean up this mess.
After leaving the camp, he didn't stay any longer and returned to the Governor's Office.
After a round trip to the military camp, it was already late when he returned. The sun had set and night had fallen.
After Li Ke finished his dinner, He Chenglin came to report that Chu Suiliang wanted to see him.
Before Li Ke left this morning, he had someone pass some tasks to Chu Suiliang. Chu Suiliang was probably here to report to him, so he said,"Please come in, sir!"
Chu Suiliang quickly walked into the side hall. The moment he saw Li Ke, he immediately bowed."Greetings, Your Highness!"
Li Ke smiled and said," Sir, please get up. In the future, when there is no one else, you don't have to be so polite. How is the matter that I asked you to do?"”
Chu Suiliang nodded and said,""After receiving Your Highness's order, I ordered people to send word to all the counties and villages in Yizhou. I told the village chiefs to come to the Governor's Office tomorrow afternoon to pay their respects to Your Highness.”
"Thank you, sir!" Li Ke nodded.
Chu Suiliang hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't help but say,""Your Highness, there is actually something that I do not understand. I do not know why Your Highness summoned these village chiefs. The power that we have accumulated does not seem to have much to do with these villages, right?”
When Li Ke heard this, he smiled meaningfully and said,"Mr. Chu, you're wrong about that. Our big matter has a lot to do with them!”
"Moreover, they will become the most important foundation for our great plan. Without them, it will be difficult to achieve our great plan!”
"Oh?"
When Chu Suiliang heard Li Ke's words, he could not help but frown. He thought about it for a long time, but he could not figure out how these villagers would be of any use to them.
"Forgive me for my stupidity, but I really don't understand the key.”Chu Suiliang said.
Li Ke laughed and said,"Sir, let this king keep you in suspense. Everything will wait until the autumn harvest in September. At that time, Sir will understand everything!"”
Chu Suiliang was a qualified strategist. He knew when to stop, so seeing that Li Ke was unwilling to say anything, he did not ask further.
"Your Highness, I have something to report!”At this moment, Chu Suiliang suddenly took out a letter from his pocket.
"This is?" Li Ke asked doubtfully.
"Your Highness, this is some information from my shops," said Chu Suiliang.”
Shua!
Hearing Chu Suiliang's words, Li Ke's eyes lit up.
He knew that the shop Chu Suiliang was talking about was actually the intelligence network that covered the entire Great Tang.
"Hurry up and present it!"
Chu Suiliang hurriedly sent it over. Li Ke opened it and saw that it contained the major events that had happened in various parts of the Great Tang in the past month.
There were promotions and appointments of important local officials.
There were some matters regarding the four kingdoms!
There were problems facing the Great Tang.
There was also…news of Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
Li Ke looked over and saw that the report said,"" After the King of Shu, Li Ke, left Chang 'an for Yizhou, the Crown Prince, Li Gaoming, took the initiative to write a letter to Yangzhou. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he got along well with the officials of Yangzhou and was praised by them. The officials of Yangzhou also wrote a letter to Chang' an to report the Crown Prince's talents to the Emperor. The Emperor was very happy and gave out rewards many times.”
When Li Ke saw this, his eyes subconsciously narrowed, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a cold smile and said,"That Eldest Imperial Brother of mine really put on a good show!”
"I originally thought that it would be fine if he pushed this king to this desolate Yizhou. I didn't expect that in order to show this king's incompetence, he volunteered to go to Yangzhou.”
Li Ke placed the information on the candlestick. The paper was lit by the candle and instantly burned.
" Yangzhou is such a good place," Li Ke said in a strange tone." Not only are there many great clans in Jiangnan, but the annual grain harvest is also the highest in the country. The people have ample food and clothing. Look…what a good political achievement!"”
"But what about Yizhou? The officials were corrupt, the people were destitute, and the army was trash. How could such a place compare to Yangzhou? When he returns to the capital at the end of the year to report on his work, won't father compare the two places and show how incompetent this king is?”
Li Ke was extremely intelligent. He had more than a thousand years of wisdom than this era, and he had read countless historical books. If he could not distinguish these things, he would be too stupid.
When Chu Suiliang heard Li Ke's words, he only smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Li Ke glanced at the restless Chu Suiliang and said self-mockingly,""Mr. Chu, please don't mind me. I was just angered by my sinister Eldest Brother.”
"But…"
Li Ke's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of mockery. He raised his horn and said,"However, the heavens are on my side, so…he's definitely going to lose!”
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
Chu Suiliang was very good at reading people. He could tell that Li Ke was not joking. He was very confident.
Moreover, he even said that the heavens were on his side. What logic was that?
Li Ke glanced at Chu Suiliang and said indifferently,""Mr. Chu, if I tell you that I observed the weather at night and discovered that some places in the Great Tang are about to face a great disaster, would you believe me?”
Chu Suiliang was speechless.
"If this king told you that the ancestor came to this king in a dream last night and said that Yangzhou was going to suffer a disaster, would you believe it?”
Chu Suiliang was speechless.
" It seems like you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter. Very soon…you'll know if this king's prophecy is true or not…"
Li Ke narrowed his eyes as a bright light flashed in them.
He clearly remembered that in the summer of the eighth year of Zhenguan, there was a great flood in Shandong, Henan, Yangzhou, Huai, and Hai. Crops were submerged, and there was a famine among the people, causing countless deaths and injuries.
And this year was the eighth year of Zhenguan!
Time was…summer!
