288. Chapter 288: Cooperation with the East Palace
Dusk is approaching. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Smoke burned in the sky above Chang'an City, and it was as beautiful as a painting.
After Su Wuwei left the East Palace, he rushed straight to his home.
Although he is a strategist of the East Palace, he does not live in the East Palace, of course, his home is not the address he said when he recruited Du He before, his home is in a very secluded place, there are few pedestrians on weekdays, and there are not even a few neighbors.
Before the prince's great cause was accomplished, it was not easy for a strategist like him to show his face, so although the prince treated him well, his life on weekdays was still very plain and low-key.
If it had been before, he would have returned home like this, and then he would take a sip of his treasured wine, and occasionally read a book for a while, before going to sleep.
Most of the days of not being a strategist are so leisurely.
And he doesn't have any friends, and he doesn't usually have anyone to visit him.
But when he returned to the house today, he found that there was a carriage parked in front of his house, the carriage was very luxurious, but Su Wuwei didn't know this carriage, he was a little strange, but then he suddenly had an idea, he needed to move again.
Under normal circumstances, if someone comes to him in particular, it means that his identity has been exposed, and since it has been exposed, he needs to change places.
However, although a carriage was parked in front of his house, he did not mean to go over to say hello, and strolled towards his house, he was ready to ignore the carriage.
But just as he walked past the carriage, a voice suddenly came from inside the car: "Doesn't Mr. Su want to invite Ben Hou to come in and sit down?" ”
The voice fell, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a teenager walked out of it, Su Wuwei saw this teenager, and was stunned for a moment: "Tang ...... Little Marquis? ”
Tang Zhou smiled: "Since Mr. Su knows Ben Hou, then Ben Hou is not wrong." ”
Su Wuwei has always been steady, but when he suddenly saw Tang Zhou at the door of his house, he was still stunned for a moment, so that he lost his temper a little, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: "The little marquis is famous in Chang'an City, and even a rural villager like me knows it." ”
Tang Zhou saw that Su Wuwei claimed to be a country villager, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If even the advisors of His Royal Highness the Prince have become country villagers, then my Tang Dynasty will have no talent, how can I get what the prince wants?" ”
"I don't understand what the little marquis is talking about, if there's nothing going on, I'm going home to rest."
Su Wuwei didn't understand what Tang Zhou meant, but he couldn't tell Tang Zhou anymore, exposing himself might ruin the prince's career, and it was extremely unsafe for him.
If King Wei and the others knew that the crown prince had a strategist like him, they would definitely find a way to kill themselves.
But just as Su Wuwei was about to go home, Tang Zhou suddenly said: "If I have a way to help the prince save the situation, Mr. Su won't invite me to go home and sit down?" ”
The hand that opened the door suddenly stopped, Su Wuwei hesitated, he was thinking about whether Tang Zhou's words were credible, but he didn't hesitate for too long, first, Tang Zhou was too famous, and second, he had always been a very decisive person.
"Please."
Tang Zhou saw that Su Wuwei had changed his attention, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then Su Wuwei entered the courtyard.
Su Wuwei's home is not big, there is only one courtyard and a few houses, but there is also a backyard at the back, where some seasonal vegetables are grown.
After entering, the two sat upright in the living room, Su Wuwei had no intention of making tea, because making tea requires boiling water, which is too wasteful of time.
"If the little marquis has anything to say, just say it."
Tang Zhou nodded: "Now that the prince is troubled by public opinion, you must be very uneasy as a strategist." ”
Su Wuwei frowned slightly, and did not answer Tang Zhou's words, Tang Zhou didn't care, and continued: "There is only one way to solve the prince's crisis, and that is to prove that Ouyang Tong is not the real murderer. ”
Hearing this, Su Wuwei was not particularly surprised, he had already thought about it like this, but there were many witnesses in this case, and he didn't think it would be an unjust, false or wrongful case, so he didn't mention it.
"I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Ben Hou is here, so it is naturally possible."
Su Wuwei's heart suddenly moved, but he still forced himself to calm down, and said, "Oh, I want to hear about it." ”
"The dead were poisoned."
When Su Wuwei heard this, he couldn't believe it, and asked, "Is it conclusive that he died of poisoning?" ”
Tang Zhou bowed his head: "Ben Hou personally went to investigate, naturally there will be no problem, Mr. Su only needs to tell the prince the news, with the power of the prince, there is no problem at all to overturn the case, as long as Ouyang Tong is proven innocent, the prince's bad reputation for self-abolition will naturally be self-defeating, and he will also get a discerning reputation because of this, do you say okay?" ”
Su Wuwei's heart was pounding, he knew that Tang Zhou wanted to save Ouyang Tong, but he also knew that it was impossible for a person like Tang Zhou to say that the deceased was poisoned for no reason, if what Tang Zhou said was true, it would definitely be a great thing for the prince.
However, Su Wuwei was very cautious, so he was not in a hurry to believe this matter.
"Since what the little marquis said is true, why don't you tell the emperor in person, why do you want to tell me?"
Tang Zhou shook his head: "Mr. Su is the prince's advisor, Ben Hou has always thought that you are a smart person, but I never thought that I overestimated you, this matter has now become a battlefield between the prince and the king of Wei, Ben Hou is suddenly caught in, isn't he looking for death?" Telling you is tantamount to telling the prince that the prince has the strength to fight with King Wei, not to mention that the prince must do the same now, right? ”
was ridiculed by Tang Zhou, Su Wuwei didn't feel embarrassed, he felt that what Tang Zhou said was very reasonable, a smart person is the most beneficial to himself to do this, borrow a knife to save people, and stay out of the matter, why not?
"If it's true, I'll tell His Royal Highness the Prince." After Su Wuwei finished saying this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The little marquis is a smart man, if you are willing to take refuge in the prince, his achievements will be limitless." ”
Tang Zhou couldn't help but smile when he saw that Su Wuwei wanted to win him over for the prince: "Mr. Su is also a smart person, you should know that this is impossible." ”
"If it is because of the contradiction between the prince and you before, then I can guarantee that the prince is definitely not the kind of person who holds grudges, as long as you are willing to take refuge, he will definitely reuse you."
Tang Zhou shook his head, got up and said, "The matter has been said, and it's time for Ben Hou to leave." ”
Saying this, Tang Zhou suddenly paused again and said, "Mr. Su is a smart person, he should know what kind of person the prince is, is he really suitable to be the king?" I don't think anyone knows this better than you, so if one day you don't have a place to go, you can go to Benhou. ”
After speaking, Tang Zhou turned around and left, Su Wuwei frowned deeply, secretly thinking how could Tang Zhou think that the prince was not suitable to be the king?
He didn't think about it for long, though, because he needed to go to the East Palace again.
