Pei Min not only analyzed this, but also obtained confirmation from Gao Lishi.

Although Gao Lishi did not answer him directly, the implication was enough to express his meaning.

Li Longji does have his own source of information.

Now it is almost certain that Qinglong is in Li Longji's hand.

But just like the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei aimed at controlling illegal ministers, and was almost the same as the things the Censorate did, and the starting point was good. However, because the Jinyiwei's power was too heavy, the Jinyiwei commanders and commanders of all dynasties had more autocratic and treacherous people...

Although Li Longji did not give Qinglong too much power, he did not even reveal any news.

But the supervisory officials are very serious and Li Longji gave him many privileges.

This privilege is in hand and it is natural to have a bad idea.

Regarding the candidate, Pei Min had already locked up a group of people before coming and said to the Gongsun sister: "Our Majesty has always been good-looking. If the spread of intelligence is harmful to his employer, he will not doubt the name of doubting others. He will only hand over Qinglong to the group of people he trusts the most, but he does not ask about his talent. The closer he is, the greater the suspicion."

Pei Min knew that Li Longji's personality was good at using people.

Just like the famous prime ministers Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Su Feng, Zhang Jiazhen. In the early years of Kaiyuan, the country needed to rectify the situation. Li Longji used Yao Chong, who was resourceful and good at making decisions. After the country gradually got on the right track, he had to rule the country with law. He cracked down on political enemies, recruited power and bribes, and organized a small group. Yao Chong immediately stepped down, and replaced him with Song Jing, who was upright and had principles as Wei Zheng.

However, Song Jing was too conservative, and Su Feng and Zhang Jiazhen promoted Li Longji to assist him.

Zhang Shuo, who is both civil and military, has gradually improved his status and has a faint attitude of replacing Song Jing.

In terms of employment, Li Longji is impeccable.

But he has a fatal flaw, which is to employ nepotism.

Whoever gets his trust will be reused, regardless of the other party's skill.

They are like people like Wang Maozhong and Yang Guozhong.

Wang Maozhong was responsible for growing vegetables and grass in the palace, but he could recruit a kind of gangster who held military power, and led Ge Fushun, Tang Diwen, Li Shoude, and Wang Jingyao to his command, became a military leader in Chang'an, controlling half of the military power in the palace.

Yang Guozhong was even more stupid and incompetent, but he held more than 40 positions and was in a terminal state of chaos.

To be honest, if it weren't for the emergence of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Pugu Huaien, Zhang Xun, Li Mi, Yan Zhenqing, and Yan Gaoqing, it would be possible that An Lushan would be pushed flat.

"Gao Lishi, Wang Maozhong, Wang Ju, Jiang Jiao, Li Lingwen, Wang Shouyi, Li Shoude, Cui Cheng..."

Pei Min reported the eight people whom Li Longji is most favored. These eight are the so-called heroes of the Tang Yuan, that is, the group of people who made great contributions to the innate coup with Li Longji in the Tanglong coup.

Only these people who share the hardships are the most trusted and respected by Li Longji.

Gongsun You pondered: "Except for Gao Lishi, there are only seven. These are all well-known figures. They are afraid of surveillance and reconnaissance one by one."

Pei Min said confidently: "There are not so many, we can use the exclusion method, there are eight people..."

He compared an eight-handed gesture with one hand and continued: "Gao Lishi first removed it, followed by Wang Maozhong and Wang Ju. Although Wang Maozhong disdained it, he held heavy troops in the imperial city and was responsible for the safety of the imperial city. He could not take into account other matters. The same is true for Wang Ju. After the innate coup, he participated in the great power of Henan, became the Minister of Yin Qing Guanglu, the Minister of Revenue, and was promoted to Duke Zhao. He was called the inner prime minister and was responsible for the Tang Dynasty's money treasury. He was busy with everything and could not take into account the matters of Qinglong."

"Apart from these three people, there are five more!" Pei Min's fingers also changed from eight to five with his words.

Gongsun You said: "Wang Shouyi can also be removed. Mr. Pei is in Liangzhou. As the relationship between Your Majesty and Queen Wang becomes increasingly cold, Wang Shouyi, the uncle of the son-in-law, has become increasingly awkward and no longer has the favor he was back then. If it were him, he would not be able to protect himself now, so how could he have the energy to be enemies with us?"

Pei Min accepted his thumbs up and there were four more candidates.

"Li Shoude can also be removed!" Gongsun Xi kept thinking hard and said with some excitement: "I know this person. He is a gambling person. Three years ago, he lost all his gambling in Beijing, owing all his debts. He hid at his friend's house and did not dare to go home. His family members could not see him. Due to his reputation, he paid off his debts. I think this saint is not bad, so he would not let such a cowardly person control Qinglong."

"It makes sense!" Pei Min smiled and closed another finger and said, "Now there are only three left!"

Gongsun Xi was quite proud, smiled at Pei Min, then lowered his face and looked aside.

Pei Min smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang Jiao, Li Ling asked, Cui Cheng, these three people are indeed the most suspicious! Jiang Jiao was His Majesty's earliest playmate. When His Majesty had King Linzi left, they rode together to fight eagles. This matter was a bit mysterious. One day, a witch came to Jiang Jiao's house and said that the emperor would come to his house to patrol him. As a result, on that day, the King Linzi left him to hunt him. Jiang Jiao has always responded to Li Longji's request. He gave money and horses, and never stingy. Now His Majesty repaid his love, treated Jiang Jiao very much, and was appointed as the chief of the palace, and was granted the title of Duke of Chu."

"Li Lingwen is also similar. They are close to Your Majesty and are very close to you. Therefore, they participated in the innate coup and rose up. To be honest, the innate coup they took up a single position, and then they were Duke of Song and Zuo Sanqi. They knew that they were still in the food and not too free."

"Cui Cheng is different from the previous two, and this person is very talented. When His Majesty was left with King Linzi, he lived in the same lantern with His Majesty and was closely related. He had a brother named Cui Shi, who was one of the five prime ministers controlled by Princess Taiping in the past. It was not an exaggeration to call him the right-hand man. The poisonous plan that poisoned Li Longji was designed by him..."

Speaking of this, Pei Min suddenly laughed and said, "But I remember what happened in Jicheng, Youzhou. The wealthy merchant Jiang Bo asked for poison from the Northeast and accidentally obtained it for Miss Xi, and then he made a fate."

Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi also recalled the events of the past and showed nostalgia.

Gongsun Xi suddenly shouted, "I remember it. Jiang Bo seemed to have said the three words "Prince Cui" at the beginning, and it seemed that Cui Xi was his boss."

Pei Min's heart moved and said, "This is natural. No matter how heroic Jiang Bo is, he is just a merchant. How brave Princess Taiping is? How could he be with him? I think if it weren't for the great things, even Cui Xi would not bother with Jiang Bo."

Jiang Bo's identity was superior to them back then, but now it has long disappeared from their eyes.

"wrong……"

Pei Min took advantage of the situation and thought of the Yuan girl, who was the palace maid who had been lurking beside Li Longji and was responsible for Li Longji's medicinal diet.

The Yuan girl is hidden very deeply and is one of the eunuchs whom Li Longji trusts the most. The two have had a super friendly relationship, but they have not been properly promoted.

Every day, Li Longji takes the red arrow powder from the female supporting actress Yuan to strengthen her body.

Now it seems that this Yuan girl is likely to be a member of Qinglong.

To this end, Pei Min proposed an idea: "Will Qinglong be controlled by Cui Xi at the beginning?"

He patted his thighs and asked himself, "I think it's not impossible. You think, just like Your Majesty, what kind of person is Princess Taiping? How could she personally control this irrelevant thing? At best, she is a false name and someone manages this matter for him. And I remember that Cui Shi is very capable. He was originally the Prime Minister Huan Yanfan, but when Wu Sansi saw that Wu Sansi was powerful, he betrayed Huan Yanfan and attached to Wu Sansi. Later, Shangguan Wan'er devoted himself to internal affairs, and she turned to Shangguan Wan'er. After the Tanglong coup, Cui Shi became Princess Taiping directly. He was the first to fall to Princess Taiping's party..."

Speaking of this, Pei Min coughed twice, "Cough cough" and said, "This Cui Xi has another skill. Because she was born in a famous Cui family, she is talented and handsome, and is good at coaxing women. He is so popular with Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping by selling her beauty."

Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi heard this, his pretty face flushed, like Pei Min, pretending to be calm.

Pei Min continued: "It is worth mentioning that Shangguan Wan'er was one of the leaders of the inner guards during the Wu Zetian period. I believe that Cui Xi had a lot of relationship with her. After Princess Taiping, it is very likely that she was responsible for this matter. It is very likely that Princess Taiping could inherit the inner guards to the greatest extent because of Cui Xi."

Gongsun Xi said curiously: "Even Cui Xi wants to poison the saint, but the saint has not implicated Cui Cheng?"

Pei Min shook his head and said, "Not only did he be highly valued by Li Longji, but he even reached the point where he reunited with the kings and refused to give up his seat."

The ancients attached great importance to seating.

There was something happened in history. Li Shimin held a party. When the fierce general Yuchi Gong saw someone's seat above him, he was furious. Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng who was sitting under Yuchi Gong, said a few words of comfort. Yuchi Gong directly beat Li Daozong, and his eyes were almost blinded.

It can be seen how much the ancients attached to seating.

Cui Cheng and Li Longji got together with his brothers, and they were so intimate that they didn’t care about etiquette. You sat on the head and I sat on the head, and I didn’t care at all.

This shows how close their relationship is.

"Although Cui Cheng and Cui Shi are two people, they are brothers. Some things are easier to interact with. I remember that Cui Shi was not immediately liquidated, but was exiled to Lingnan until afterwards. As the general of Princess Taiping, Cui Shi was the only one who settled the matter afterwards?" Pei Min revealed little by little the secrets of the palace and the exchanges between many court officials.

Gongsun Xi couldn't help but say, "There are so many masters who have gone to this place, just like the aunt on the street, knowing everything."

Pei Min couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Do you think the master has today's status dependent on His Majesty's trust? If you are in the officialdom, you have to see more and say less. Many things are seen, heard, and remembered in your heart. You will be able to use them for a day. Just like now..."

Gongsun You also responded with respect and said, "In this way, Cui Cheng is the most suspected!"

Pei Min didn't hide it and said directly: "Before coming, I suspected that Jiang Jiao. He was the most favored of the three, and the most leisurely one. I suspected that His Majesty knew that Jiang Jiao controlled Qinglong and deliberately did not give him real power. Seeing you, you even talked about this, thinking about what happened back then, and then suddenly realized that Cui Cheng was more suspicious than Jiang Jiao..."

He paused and said, "If you can confirm that Princess Taiping handed Qinglong to Cui Xi in charge, you will be 80% sure that Cui Cheng is the person in charge of Qinglong now. Your Majesty has always been a kind of reward for merit. I defeated the Jiuqu land of Hexi, so I am the governor of Longyou. I have pacified the chaos in Liangzhou, so he appointed me as the governor of Hexi. If Qinglong was obtained by Cui Cheng from his brother Cui Xi, Your Majesty would probably follow the situation and hand over Qinglong to Cui Cheng and let him take responsibility."

Gongsun You said: "I'll make sure of this. Uncle Zhan should know something. As long as we share each other's news, I believe that we can find the culprit from Jiang Jiao, Li Lingwen and Cui Cheng. Uncle Zhan gave me the contact information and should be able to contact me."

************

Chang'an Cui Mansion!

Cui Cheng returned from drinking with Li Chengqi, Li Chengyi, Li Longfan and Li Longye.

When he walked into the hall, he saw his son Cui Hong drinking tea in the hall and shouted: "Hong'er!"

Cui Hong was thinking about his thoughts and came back to his senses. He hurriedly went up to worship and said, "Sir, Father!" He smelled the strong smell of wine, and he had always been obsessed with cleanliness, and could not help frowning. If it weren't for the person coming, he would have been far away.

Cui Cheng walked to the main seat and sat down, asking, "What's going on lately?"

Cui Hong smiled and said, "Zhan Peng has captured us. This old guy deserves to be the commander of the inner guard in the past, cunning and deceitful. He has seen through many methods one by one. If they hadn't bought his brothers back then, he would have done nothing."

Cui Cheng said: "It's great, but finally got over it. I just don't know what he found, what he knew, and who told him. Although His Majesty is different from being like Taizong, Gaozong, and the Queen of Demons, he doesn't want us to rise again. Once His Majesty knows that we will divide the Qinglong into two, part of us will serve him, part of us will be under the banner of revenge for Princess Taiping, and revitalizing the family business, which is not tolerated by him. We are no longer the same as before, but once the incident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Cui Hongdi raised his head and said, "Don't worry, father, the child has tortured himself. Although Zhan Peng said nothing, the child could see that he did not want to continue the hatred. It is certain that he did not tell anyone, nor did he have any accomplices. Even his son, daughter and apprentice were involved, which is enough to illustrate this."

Cui Cheng nodded and smiled, "Hong'er will be relieved for her father." He paused for a moment and said, "I just heard that you have been very close to the children of the Lu family recently?"

Cui Hong nodded and said, "Some dealings!"

Cui Cheng said solemnly: "Don't contact him anymore. That little bastard is a bad embryo. He is a little scared to face him for his father."

Cui Hong bowed and said, "Yes!"
