Chapter 813: Asking Questions (Part II)
With no bright future and a dead end behind him, Li Zhi's mood at the moment is really complicated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He is only sixteen years old this year, but he already deeply feels the malice from the whole world, it turns out that the world of adults is so complicated, even if it is a brother of the same father and mother, he is ruthless.
I have to say that Li Su and Li Zhi were both caught off guard, Li Su knew very well that the battle for the crown had begun, how the two sides planned and how to act, and roughly had an understanding, what he didn't expect was that Li Tai's actions were so fast, it can be said that from the second day of the banquet in Dongyang, Li Tai may have begun to implement the action, the purpose is to suppress Li Zhi and squeeze him out.
Li Su now realizes that he has underestimated the enemy, and he has always had a sense of superiority, feeling that he can predict the general trend, so he is not in a hurry, and always feels that he is like a god overlooking living beings, and everything is in full view.
However, he didn't expect that reality would teach him a hard lesson.
In any case, he is just a mortal, and it is impossible for mortals to be the first to anticipate everything, their reaction speed and far-reaching planning, Li Su is indeed one step less in this matter.
What we have to do now is naturally to make amends, as long as we are alive, we will always have hope of turning the tables.
Compared with Li Su's calmness, Li Zhi obviously couldn't bear such a huge blow, he found that he was not the material to be the prince, and he was plotted by someone in a daze, this is just a brother's plot, if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will have to face thousands of old foxes who are very deep in the city, with his simple temperament, I am afraid that it is not enough to die a hundred times.
"Brother Zizheng, is there really any hope?" Li Zhi looked at Li Su pitifully.
Li Suzheng said: "No matter what kind of desperate situation you are in, you must have hope, it is because of hope that people have a taste of life, never give up, even if you are on a cliff, you have to make one last effort......"
Li Zhi was moved, and looked at him with burning eyes: "Brother Zizheng is reasonable, Zhi has been taught, although Zhi is in a desperate situation now, I will not give up my efforts!" ”
Li Su was relieved: "The son can be taught, only after working hard, you will know what despair is, and then smile and Jiuquan will be ......blind to death."
Li Zhi: "............"
This chicken soup is poisonous!
"Okay, the delicious chicken soup has been drunk, let's get down to business......" Li Su turned his head to look at the failed plate of steamed fish, and decided to despair of it.
Invite Li Zhi to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard, the maid offers tea and snacks, and the two of them listen to the wind by the railing, and tea is elegant.
"Don't be in a hurry, you are already at a disadvantage, if you can't be calm and calm, just panic and anxious, you have lost ninety percent of this battle for storage."
Li Zhi took a deep breath, finally regained his composure, his expression was calm and calm, and he sat very upright and took a sip of tea before he said, "Please also ask Brother Zizheng for guidance." ”
Li Su glanced at him appreciatively and said with a smile: "To put it mildly, as long as your father is still alive, your life should be worry-free, even if we are unlucky, the worst is that King Wei becomes the crown prince, but so what?" The crown prince is not the emperor, the person who decides the candidate for the crown prince is the emperor, even if he is already the prince, the emperor can abolish him if he says that he can be abolished, so don't worry, it is undeniable that King Wei has taken a step ahead of us, but it is only one step, let's take a bigger step, and we can surpass him within three or two steps. ”
Li Zhi nodded, and said with a smile: "Actually, I was really anxious before I came to your house, and the whole person was like being suddenly pushed off the cliff from behind, but after seeing you, I suddenly stopped worrying, because I knew that you would definitely be able to figure out a way to help me overcome this adversity." ”
Li Su's face froze, and when he looked at Li Zhi again, he saw a sly smile quickly flashing in his eyes, Li Su suddenly became angry in his heart, this little bastard became more and more cunning, and he knew that he would turn his head and hug the fat thighs of the dead fat man, at least he was ugly and characteristic, and stood together to highlight his handsomeness.
"First of all, you have to be calm, remember to hide your emotions, you must not show dissatisfaction in front of anyone, especially in front of your father, you must be cautious in your words, you must behave very happily and obediently, you will do whatever your father says, so that you can teach your father to feel at ease, and at the same time, you can confuse King Wei, so that he can not understand your intentions, so that he doubts himself or even messes ......" Li Su said slowly.
Li Zhi nodded.
"Secondly, in front of the whole Chang'an people, swaggering to visit my uncle General Li Ji, he is the governor of the state and the governor of the state, you are only the governor of the state, in fact, the power of the governor of the state is in the hands of General Li Ji, you go to visit him, you are making a gesture, so that the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an know that you have no resistance to the place where you are going, but take the initiative to ask the customs and military affairs of the state, so that your father is more satisfied with your performance."
Li Zhi was a little uneasy: "I am gladly obedient again, and I take the initiative to ask for advice, according to the meaning of Brother Zizheng, do I really want to go to Bingzhou to become the governor?" ”
Li Su snorted: "What's the hurry? These two things that you want to do are just for outsiders to see, in short, you have to give people an honest and obedient image, this image is very important to you, even after you become the crown prince, you must maintain this image, and when you become the emperor one day, then you can run as much as you want like a husky that has escaped......"
"Brother Zizheng, what is a 'husky'?"
"Don't care about these details, sit up straight and listen to me carefully......" Li Su pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Next, it's what I should do, this dead end must be broken!" ”
Li Zhi looked at him adoringly: "Have you thought of a way?" ”
"Nope." Li Su said honestly: "You can think of a way so quickly, are you insulting your Brother Wei Wang's IQ?" ”
************************************************************
Although there was no evidence or signs at all, Li Su just felt that this matter was related to the eldest grandson Wuji.
There is no reason, just intuition.
This yin idea is not thought of by ordinary people, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is indeed smart, but his Taoism is not enough to come up with such a damaging idea, only the eldest grandson Wuji has the strength to destroy people tirelessly.
Li Su can't get the way to break the situation for the time being, or rather, he is not completely sure that he can reverse this disadvantage, the holy decree has been issued, and there is no change, it is really difficult to leave Li Zhi in Chang'an, although it is also the identity of the son-in-law, but in Li Shimin's "fair" mentality, the identity of the son-in-law is not of much help to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi left satisfied, although he did not get a solution to the problem, he was no longer worried, because the matter was handed over to Li Su to take over.
I don't know where the inexplicable confidence came out, Li Zhi even has a kind of blind trust in Li Su, he always thinks that Li Su is omnipotent, and any incurable disease can always turn evil into good fortune when it comes to Li Su's hands.
…………
In the evening, Wang Zhi rushed back to Taiping Village from Chang'an City.
He was summoned back by Li Su.
Before coming up with a way to break the game, Li Su felt that it was necessary to investigate the ins and outs of the whole thing, learn more about the real insider, and have a better chance of winning.
When night fell, Li Su and Wang Zhi sat in the pavilion in the backyard, three small dishes in front of them, a pot of spirits, accompanied by the insects and frogs in the summer night, and a bright moon on their heads.
Syllable!
Li Su shot at lightning and killed a mosquito that was perched on his arm to suck blood.
"Ya" is for outsiders to see, and it is yourself who suffers.
Raising his head and drinking a glass of wine, Li Su looked at the bright moon in the sky and muttered: "I'm wondering if I'm crazy, there are so many places to drink, why do we have to sit here and feed mosquitoes?" ”
Wang Zhi nodded with a bitter face: "I wanted to say it a long time ago, but I was afraid of destroying your Yaxing, and I thought you liked to tune in, to be honest, sitting here for half an hour, I was bitten by mosquitoes all over my body, at most in half an hour, I am afraid that I will have died of blood......"
Li Su immediately decided: "Let's go, change places." ”
Under the moonlight of the elegant and picturesque pond, the two got up in a hurry, hurriedly left the pavilion, and found a random wing room in the backyard to enter, and a maid behind them moved them to the wing room with wine and food.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Su grinned and said, "How have your subordinates been recently?" ”
Wang Zhi lowered his voice and said, "After you said it last time, I secretly paid attention, first of all, I excluded the people around me one by one, and found that there were really two people who were not quite right......"
Li Su's eyes froze: "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
"These two people defected to me the year before last, saying that they committed an accident in Yuezhou, and fled to Chang'an to avoid being pursued by the government, the two are cousins, and they are very neat in life and work, at first they followed one of my henchmen, and then they had more contact, I thought they were good, so they were transferred to my side, these two people really have the ability, those scoundrels in Chang'an City were governed by them to be obedient, and gradually had a high prestige in the market, these two people are more loyal, and I am also happy to let go of power......"
When Li Su heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that Wang Zhi was telling a tragic story, at least in the future, which was likely to develop into a tragedy. Two people who are too perfect to find their faults, where can't they get out of the way? It is unreasonable to condescend to Wang Zhi's subordinates, but also full of loyalty and courage, help him take care of his affairs properly, and look like a decent man and a gentleman willing to retire in the den of thieves.
Wang Zhi looked bitter, and continued: "Originally, I always believed in these two people, until you told me that my subordinates may have been sent in by His Majesty, I paid attention, but all my henchmen and subordinates I quietly sent someone to check the old bottom, and when I found the two brothers, the people who went to Yuezhou came back and told me that what they said they committed in Yuezhou was not at all, and the whereabouts of the two were strange, there was always one or two days a month when no one was found, and I didn't know where to go, and most importantly, when I became suspicious of them, I can always smell them......"
Li Su said curiously: "What taste?" ”
Wang Zhiding looked at him fixedly, and said word by word: "The taste of the army, looking at their walking, talking, acting, etc., must be from the government soldiers, because I believed in them before, I didn't think about it, but now once I pay attention, these two people are strange everywhere, I am sure that there is a problem with their origins." ”
