It is really easy to plot. He attacked Ye Chang with no ministerial body as a guide, destroying his reputation in the sects and corrupting his reputation. Ye Chang has suddenly risen now, and has become a favorite minister of the new generation of emperors, second only to Yang Zhao. How can he not attract jealousy? Especially those young and irritable officials, all of whom are ready to step on others and take the lead. After the sects are established, they will inevitably see bloody leeches, stinging Ye Chang tightly.

By then, Ye Chang would not say that he would continue his big plan, even if he wanted to return to Jilizhou for a long time, he would be difficult. Seeing that Jilizhou became a piece of fat, if the powerful and powerful in the capital had the opportunity, how could he not find a way to take advantage of this?

"I don't know who actually made this poisonous plan." Cen Shen concentrated and thought hard: "Shiyilang, if you want to break this plan, only... we also summoned the famous articles in the capital."

If the other party wants to discredit Ye Chang, then he will find someone to advocate for Ye Chang. Although this is just a passive response when dealing with the moves, it will not lose the good way to muddle the water. Ye Chang smiled: "Brother Cen now knows what I want to ask you... Among the scholars of the articles in Beijing, Brother Cen has a very high reputation, so Brother Cen comes to manage this matter for Brother Yu.

He had a different relationship with Cen Shen, and Cen Shen refused to refuse after hearing this: "You should make this happen for your good brother. You are operating the border outside. Are you still wrong in protecting the country and protecting the people?"

"Thank you, Brother Cen, Gao Yi... This is just the first thing today, and there is another thing I want to discuss with Brother Cen. I regained Jilizhou in Liaodong. The previous saint's intention was that Jilizhou would be ordered to be the governor of a prince at most. I would be the governor of Yu's younger brother. How much can Yu'er have the strength of Yu'er brother? Brother Cen has been in Beijing for two years and has no suitable position. Why should I go to Jilizhou with Yu'er brother? What do you think?"

When Ye Chang learned that Cen Shen was not yet in the trap, he had this idea and took Cen Shen to Liaodong.

Although the population of Jili Prefecture is only 80,000, of which the Han people may only be more than 40,000, it is a state after all, with complex affairs and Ye Chang needs a large number of assistants. Qin Qinshou can help him in economic development, but in terms of relations with the court, Qin Qinshou, who has not read much, can't help much.

Therefore, Ye Chang considered Cen Shen, and in fact he wanted to invite Gao Shi from Jiannan.

Cen Shen hesitated for a while. He was still young at this time and was full of ambitions. He did not want to go to Liaodong very much, but hoped to show his performance in the Central Plains.

"Liaodong..."

Ye Chang did not persuade him again, but just asked him to think for himself. At this time, Jilizhou was in trouble. If it really came over, it would have to suffer for a year or two before everything could get on track. If Cen Shen was not willing, it would be meaningless to force him to go.

After a while, Cen Shen raised his eyes: "It's important to be serious, you must be careful. Shiyilang, don't blame me for hesitating. I need to ask you in detail about some things."

"Just ask."

Ye Chang has been busy these days. Although he had met Cen Shen several times, he had never discussed it in detail. He just briefly introduced the love of Liaodong. At that time, Cen Shen began to ask in detail how large the Jili Prefecture he controlled is, how much population, how to solve the financial problems, how to deal with the relationship with the court, and how Ye Chang was prepared to govern. When he heard Ye Chang talk about his two strategies of "equal land order" and "naturalization order", Cen Shen said in surprise: "The 11 Lang's ambition is not small, and this is to regard Liaodong as the original management of Zhongyuan."

"That is, except for the colder winter in Liaodong, the other three seasons of the year, spring, summer and autumn are no different from the Central Plains. Now the Central Plains are densely populated, which is too much... Brother Cen still remembers that we were talking about the replacement of chaos before?"

Cen Shen was moved: "Remember"

When they were together, Gao Shi, Li Bai, Cen Shen and Ye Chang had discussed the reasons for the change of governance and chaos in previous dynasties. Gao, Li and Cen could not escape the old view of the wise and foolish monarchs, but Ye Chang was unique and pointed out that an important reason for governance and chaos was the population. If the population of the Central Plains was too large, then a large population had no land to farm. As long as there was a slight famine, it would become a refugee and shake the foundation of the dynasty.

Ye Chang, especially taking the Han Dynasty as an example, said Gao, Li and Cen had to accept his point of view, that is, the population of the Central Plains will inevitably become one of the causes of chaos.

"Do you think the population of the Central Plains is now... gradually reaching the limit?" Cen Shen asked again.

"Mr. Wu, the capital of Shangdu is now moving between the two capitals, Chang'an and Luoyang. One of the reasons is that Guanzhong's grain money is insufficient for the capital." Ye Chang did not answer positively, but gave an example: "At the beginning of Tianbao, the imperial court rebuilt household registration, and there are 8.4 million households in the world and 48 million households. Chang'an City has more than 2 million mouths, of which more than 1 million in the city and more than 1 million outside the city."

Although these data are not very accurate, they are enough to shake Cen Shen.

Ye Chang said again: "It's a pity that this number is only an initial estimate. With the slaves and hidden households, the population should be more than 60 million, and the land is exhausted."

"I understand, Shiyilang, I'll go to Liaodong with you." Cen Shen finally made up his mind.

"If I have the help of Brother Cen, I will have more arms."

Cen Shen was very impressed by Ye Chang's ability to pick up numbers at will. He secretly decided in his heart that after he went to Liaodong, he must not talk about it on paper. Just like Ye Chang, he must have a reasonable and evidence-based approach.

"Since the Eleven Lang refused to abandon me, I want to recommend several people to the Eleven Lang." Cen Shen looked up and said, "The first person, Eleven Lang, also knew him, and he was Wang Jiangning."

Wang Jiangning was Wang Changling, and was Jiang Ning Cheng at this time. He had a very good relationship with Wang Wei and was just a nodding friend with Ye Chang. Ye Chang laughed and said, "The name of Wang Gong is the best for a while. I have been close to you for a long time, but he now has an official position, so I am afraid he is unwilling to go to Liaodong to surrender."

"Otherwise, Wang Jiangning was poor and poor in his early years and was trapped among the land. He was not confused until he was in his forties. Although he was appointed as the Chief of Jiangning, he was incompatible with Shangguan and his colleagues were often jealous. When he was in office, he was nothing more than a salary to support his relatives. If the Eleventh Lang compiled a letter and attached it to the lower class, Wang Jiangning would definitely come."

Although Wang Changling was famous for his poetry, he was even better than Li Bai at this time, and was far better than Du Fu, but because he was not a purely literati, he did not have much sourness to literati. When Ye Chang heard Cen Shen say this, he immediately said, "Since that's the case, I will write a letter tonight... Who else can I recommend to me by Brother Cen?"

"The second person's surname is Zhang and his name is Hao. He is from Bozhou. This person lives in Chang'an and likes to drink by nature. He is open-minded and does not admire wealth. This person is a disciple of Wu Gong's name Jing. He has the skills of being a leap and manages the frontier. If he gets the help of this person, the eleven men can get a wing."

Ye Chang thought about it and just mentioned that Wang Changling reminded him to remember who Zhang Hao was. In the original history, Wang Changling was jealous and killed by villains, and it was Zhang Hao who avenged him.

"I have heard of Zhang Hao's great name for a long time. I regret that no one recommends him and cannot see him." Ye Chang said: "If Brother Cen knows you, I will invite him for me... No, if I have time tomorrow and the next day, I will visit you with Brother Cen."

"Dare not obeying orders," Cen Shen said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Ye Chang asked who else could recommend it. Cen Shen thought about some characters, but it was not that he had no talent, but most of them were unlikely to go to Liaodong. Therefore, he shook his head and said, "I am in Chang'an and have a lot of friends, but Zhang Hao has the ability to know people. If he is willing to work together in Liaodong, he will definitely be able to recommend a group of people."

"It's true that there is a shortage of people, but it's best to be someone who can do practical things." Ye Chang murmured in his heart, but did not say it out.

"The most important thing now is to deal with the person who spread rumors and flatters. Shiyilang, since you are planning to return to Liaodong, you will not tolerate this person. Otherwise, if you are outside and this person, you will destroy your bones and destroy your mouth and make you rich sooner or later, and the saints will shake the trust of you."

Ye Chang also understood this: "What you said is, I will send someone to investigate. Who said such words?"

"There are people who secretly reveal the news to you. This person seems to be kind. Shiyilang wants to take revenge, but he must be careful not to hurt this person by mistake."

"It should be like this," Ye Chang laughed.

In Chang'an City, Ye Chang's secret influence was definitely not small. It was not just the relationship between the city fox and the club rat left by Jia Maoer. After the transfer of Xiangxuehai, Ye Chang turned light into darkness, making people intentionally make friends with various characters. Therefore, it did not take too long. Just the afternoon of the second day, Ye Chang received news that a literati scolded him during the banquet and criticized him for his unofficial character.

Then some people said that he was arrogant, extravagant and debauchery, and even said that he was Shao Zhengmao.

"He Guan and Fei Zhi mentioned this when they were gathering in Buyun Tower. The scholar was greedy for a cup of wine. He asked him to drink a drink of yellow grind and said everything."

"He Guan... Fei Zhi... Who are these two people?" Ye Chang was a little surprised: "I have never heard of these two people's names. Could it be that they were really infuriated?"

"I also asked about these two people's origins, but they were guests of the former husband Li Shizhi's family."

"Li Shizhi's family's guest...so that's it"

Ye Chang heard this and immediately understood that there was no doubt that this was the action of Li Xiao again. This guy really didn't learn from his lessons丨And after suffering losses, he finally made progress and could come up with such a poisonous plan.

If someone hadn't informed and waited for these people to really start and cause the momentum, Ye Chang would react again, then he would be very passive.

As for now...

"It's really Li Xiao?" Cen Shen asked in surprise after hearing this response.

"70% may be him, but..." If he just made a decision, Ye Chang would be 100% sure, but to convince Cen Shen to help him act, he must also provide more convincing evidence. Therefore, he said: "However, in order to avoid hurting good people by chance, we will confirm it tonight."

“How to prove it?”

"I think Brother Cen has heard of the Jade Butterfly in Chang'an City?"

Cen Shen had heard of this name. Jade Butterfly is a famous prostitute who has risen in Chang'an City in the past two years. However, it was not until he was in the quiet room of the Butterfly Pavilion that he said in a daze: "I have always heard that this place is expensive, and that butterfly girl is a rare person... Shiyilang, is this your arrangement?"

"It's not my arrangement, but it has something to do with me. Do you remember me in the Grand View Garden in Luoyang City? Li Jilan, the heroine in the Grand View Garden, has a relationship with this butterfly girl, Jade Butterfly." Ye Chang replied with a smile.

He did not tell the truth completely that although this butterfly museum was not his property, it was actually under his secret control, which was also one of the hidden threads he stayed in Chang'an City.

They were in the quiet room, separated by a thin board, and the private room outside. They didn't wait long before they heard footsteps coming from the private room outside, followed by a slightly stingy voice: "It turns out to be a butterfly girl... Brother Jin, I'm in love today."

"Brother He and I fell in love with each other. I just don't like those evil people. When I heard Brother He say that I want to get rid of evil, I have no fists, no courage and no wisdom, so I can only pay some money... Haha, don't be abrupt, the beauty, butterfly girl is here." A voice sounded, and Cen Shen heard that it was what Ye Chang had ordered.

Then another woman heard a delicate voice: "I was originally a flower falling in the wind and dust, so how could I be considered a beauty? But I am like Jin Langjun. The most hated thing in my life is evil. Why should I eliminate evil? I wonder if I can talk to Nu in detail?"

Even though he had not seen him, Cen Shen felt very moved when he heard the girl's voice on the wall. He wanted to meet him, and he was even more charming. The bones of He Langjun were almost slim, and he laughed out loud. Two were intentional and one was unintentional. Just a few drinks, He Guan said everything in his stomach.

It's Li Xiao indeed

Cen Shen looked at Ye Chang, but Ye Chang looked calm.

Cen Shen has heard Ye Chang say about the hatred between Li Xiao and Ye Chang, and he is also worthy of Li Shizhi's boss. Although Li Shizhi is not capable enough, he is generally a good person. However, he has a son, but he is both stupid and short-sighted.

Although he is a mediocre person, Ye Chang has forgiven him again and again, but he is staring at Ye Chang in secret like a poisonous snake, and he will spew out venom from time to time. This is a way to die, even if Cen Shen sympathizes with Li Shizhi, he knows that Ye Chang is no wonder.

After He Guan was sent away, the two of them left the Butterfly Hall. Cen Shen asked, "Shiyilang, how are you going to deal with Li Xiao?"

"This person stayed in Chang'an because he caused trouble for Li Shizhi." Ye Chang said calmly: "We must drive him out of Chang'an City and find a way to get us Jilizhou."

When Cen Shen heard "drive out of Chang'an City", he felt something was wrong. This was not Ye Chang's style of behavior. But when he heard "get to Jilizhou", he suddenly realized.

If Li Xiao was brought to Jilizhou, the outcome can be imagined.

"How to act?" Cen Shen asked.

"I will deal with this matter in the court, but we don't need us. I already have a solution to their rumors."

"oh?"

"Please also ask Brother Cen to make me famous."

"Make a name?"

Ye Chang said his plan in succession. After listening to it, Cen Shen pondered for a while, and then smiled and said, "Li Xiao will be enemies with you many times... In this way, he has put in great efforts, but he has only made your reputation, and has also caused him resentment. Li Taibai is not in Chang'an. If he is still in Chang'an, it will be better for him to do this."
