Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Wei Zhengwei is asking to see you."

"Oh? Tell him to come in."

"Here."

Wei Zheng walked in hurriedly: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Jiancheng was enjoying the singing and dancing, and waved his hands: "There is no need to be polite, someone here will give Mr. Wei a seat."

"His Royal Highness, I am here today because I have something important to report to Your Highness. Recently, I found that there are many rumors circulating in the market place."

"Why should Mr. Wei take the gossip of the market people seriously? Come, come, enjoy singing and dancing with Gu."

"His Royal Highness, these chats cannot be taken lightly."

"Hey, tell me, what are the rumors?"

"I don't know who made it into a song and dance drama about your Highness's poisoning attempt to kill the King of Qin. The constant performances in the market place have already aroused the dissatisfaction of many scholars."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"How dare I deceive Your Highness, this matter is indeed true. Now it has spread in the market, and everyone is saying that Your Highness, you are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and you don't have the courage of a king."

"Who is so bold, dare to slander Gu?"

"Who did it, I can't find out, but the King of Qin can't escape the responsibility."

"Wang Gui, do you have any plans?"

It was Crown Prince Zhongyun, he thought for a while and said: "I think that the king of Qin should have been alerted and tried to strike first."

"So, we should cut off King Qin's wings next, and then capture him in one fell swoop."

"It's not that Gu hasn't tried it, but it's a pity that the people in the Cefu were all smelly and tough that day, and it was useless at all."

"Prince, I think you can do both. On the one hand, you can bribe the generals under the King of Qin with money, and on the other hand, you can go forward and slander your Majesty."

"Well, this is a good idea. Come here and change clothes for Gu, Gu is going to enter the palace now."

……

Wei Zheng's guess was right. The rumors circulating in the market recently that the crown prince was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and attempted to poison the King of Qin were spread by Li Wenbin's order.

It didn't take much effort to let Yu Chigong select some smart and capable soldiers from the army, and then let them eat and drink in the various restaurants in Chang'an City, make friends with those people in the market, and take the opportunity to spread these rumors .

Li Wenbin knew the allusion of three people becoming a tiger, and he also knew what the rumor would turn into after being passed on several times.

Even if the two women were hit by a car at the intersection of the street, after being passed on [-] times, they would be crushed to death by a dinosaur falling from the sky.

What's more, the common people don't have much entertainment now, so they can only use these things as a topic of conversation after dinner. In just a few days, the news of the prince's attempt to murder the King of Qin has spread throughout Chang'an——

Recently, it has even begun to spread towards Luoyang.

Under the guidance of someone with a heart, Li Jiancheng was described as a waste who was useless and knew nothing but flattery; while Li Shimin was described as a living saint who endured humiliation for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and kept forbearing.

Almost without any hesitation, the hearts of the people were all on Li Shimin's side. According to them, Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji had become a pair of villains.

As for the lofty ancestor Li Yuan, he also became an old fool who didn't know people.

For Li Wenbin, who has experienced the baptism of the information explosion in later generations, it is not difficult to do this at all, and he still has many more sinister tricks that have not been used.

For example, Concubine Yin Defei's father, Yin Ashu, used his power to bully others and beat Du Ruhui up, even breaking his fingers, but in the end he bit back and framed Du Ruhui, so that the matter was finally settled.

If according to Li Wenbin's method, rumors are spread in the market that Li Jiancheng and Concubine Yin De are having an affair, and even want to add Li Yuanji into it-if this trick is really successful, no matter whether Li Yuan is willing or not, Li Jiancheng will not be allowed to enter easily in the future. palace.

But Li Shimin considered it again and again, and still rejected Li Wenbin's proposal. In his words: This king does things openly and aboveboard, and it is not uncommon for him to use this kind of conspiracy.

Li Wenbin originally thought he was pedantic, but he felt that when Li Shimin said this, he couldn't help showing a kind of kingly style, and he couldn't help but admire him.

He knew that what Li Shimin wanted to do was the sword of the Son of Heaven, which was an upright conspiracy; although the conspiracy and tricks could succeed for a while, in front of the conspiracy, it was nothing more than a mantis' arm.

However, even without using such insidious methods, Li Wenbin managed to control the public opinion on Li Shimin's side in a short period of time.

Cheng Yaojin has been sent back to Kangzhou to be his governor, and before leaving, he expressed his incomprehension to Li Wenbin—in the thinking of this living bandit, public opinion is simply a dispensable thing.

In his old Cheng's words: If the time comes to make a real remonstrance, these rumors will not be more useful than a sergeant.

But Li Wenbin just smiled and said nothing, just let Cheng Yaojin wait for the good news in Kangzhou - because he knew that being wronged and being criticized by the people is the eternal pain in Li Shimin's life, and it is also the heart that he can't let go of Knot.

It seems useless to control public opinion, but it can make Li Shimin have the hearts of the people to the greatest extent, which will be of great help to the implementation of government orders during the Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin was also faintly aware of this, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed: "My son is quite the legacy of Zhang Liang, the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty."

At this time, Li Wenbin was sitting on the second floor of Linxian Building by the street, drinking some wine and admiring his masterpiece.

Seeing the setting sun, he stood up and told the Gao Chief brothers: "Okay, it's time to go back home."

There is still a beautiful girl waiting in the small courtyard. If you go back early, you can be tender for a while. Li Wenbin's heart burns when he thinks of the very shy sword slave who is trying to please him.

The high chief threw down a string of copper coins, and guarded his master with his masters—this was specially ordered by the eldest grandson Wugou, telling them to be more careful and protect Li Wenbin's safety.

He also told them that if Li Wenbin was fine, even if the two of them died in battle, the Qin Palace would support their family members; but if something happened to Li Wenbin, no matter how hard they worked, they would kill their entire family.

In this regard, Gao Chief and Gaoshou brothers have no objection.

Wandering the streets of Chang'an, Li Wenbin hummed a ditty like a real playboy, and whistled while looking at the bulging breasts of the young girls on the street under their calico shirts.

Just as he was about to leave the West Market, a Taoist priest passing by in a hurry attracted Li Wenbin's attention.
