Chapter 20 The Empress of Finance?
Du He looked at the secret letter he had translated, his expression was cloudy, and the development of the matter was much more serious than he imagined.
What a big deal in ancient times to plot to assassinate the queen, but the person who plotted was still the prince, and his status was not low.
Although the person behind the scenes did not directly state his identity, it is not difficult to guess who is the mastermind behind the scenes!
First of all, this man must be someone who has a hope of inheriting the throne; Secondly, the person has a certain strength; Again, who is the most harmful to the eldest grandson queen alive; In the end, who benefited the most from the death of Empress Changsun.
With such associations, the answer is already coming.
Li Shimin has many sons, but only three people really have the strength to take the throne: the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wu Li Ke and the king of Wei Li Tai.
The crown prince Li Chengqian can be given up, and the rest are only Li Ke and Li Tai.
As far as he knows, Li Ke is both civil and military, has a general amount of elegance, and has the style of Li Shimin, so he is deeply liked by Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson and queen also treat him like a parent. And Li Tai is brilliant, and he is doted on by Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson queen is his biological mother.
On the surface, neither of them is motivated, but in reality they are not.
Li Chengqian was too hypocritical and pretentious, and he did not practice kinghood, and his actions have already caused Li Shimin's great displeasure. But because of the existence of Empress Changsun, it has not been revealed.
Empress Changsun is the first person to resolutely support the crown prince, and what she does is not as selfish as Changsun Wuji, but because she has experienced the changes in Xuanwumen and is afraid that history will repeat itself.
As a mother, it would be a great pain for her children to fight each other like fire and water.
Therefore, Empress Changsun tried her best to avoid this from happening.
It goes without saying what status Empress Changsun has in Li Shimin's heart. If she doesn't change her will, Li Shimin will avoid talking about it even if he has the intention of abolishing it.
As long as Empress Changsun is dead, Li Shimin will naturally not care about anything else, and the will to abolish the crown prince has lost the biggest obstacle.
Therefore, Li Ke and Li Tai are both possible.
They have the possibility of ascending the throne and have a certain strength, and the life of Empress Changsun also has a certain threat to them, if Empress Changsun dies, they can also benefit from each other.
But at a low level of selfishness, Du He thought that Li Tai, the king of Wei, might have a bigger surname.
Because he is the most liked by Li Shimin, and he is the eldest sister-in-law except Li Chengqian. As long as Empress Changsun dies, he will be the only favor of their "family".
It's just that Li Tai is the biological son of Empress Changsun, and the son murdered his mother, which ......
Du He shook his head and sighed, thinking of the gentle and amiable Empress Eldest Sun, and faintly felt a little sad for her, maybe this is the biggest sorrow in the royal family!
"What should I do about this?" Du He asked himself, feeling that his head was a little too big.
Just on the basis of such a letter, there is neither a signature, nor does it say who wrote it, and all the key words are also discarded, only the word "abolished" arouses suspicion. This is not ironclad evidence, it is really impossible to convict anyone, not to mention that Li Ke is not without suspicion, he can't deal with the two princes together because of this secret letter!
The most important thing is that the means of taking it away are not bright, and if you make it public, it will be even more detrimental to yourself.
"Forget it! Don't think about it! After Du He collected the two things, he planned to hand them over to Du Ruhui after returning to Chang'an, and let him have a headache.
Du Ruhui has been the prime minister for many years, and his political methods are extraordinary, far from being compared to Du Heneng today, and it is undoubtedly the most correct decision to hand it over to him.
Du He freshened up, glanced at the sleeping martial arts photos, and flipped up "The Art of War".
I have watched a lot of TV series about Duhe's war, and I have also read "The Art of War", but I have never understood it because I can't use it.
Tubo was about to invade, and Du He had the intention to make meritorious contributions, so he took "The Art of War" with him all the time and read it from time to time.
After reading for about an hour, Du He couldn't bear to fall asleep and fell asleep on the table.
In the early morning, Wu Zhao opened his eyes dimly, but when he saw that he was in an unfamiliar environment, he couldn't help but be shocked. Turning his head, he saw Du He lying on the desk sleeping, and his mood suddenly turned calm.
She remembered what had happened last night, remembered that she had fallen asleep in the other person's arms, and two red clouds floated on her face again.
"This must be the inn where Du Gongzi lives!" Wu Zhao thought with a sweet smile on his face.
Although she is in a different place, although Du He has not been with him for a long time, she is full of trust in Du He in her heart.
Du He was already handsome, and his sleeping appearance added a bit of childishness, and he looked particularly cute, and Wu Zhao was stunned for a while.
Du He gradually woke up, and just opened his eyes, but saw Wu Zhao looking at him in a daze, revealing a charming smile, "Wake up!" ”
Wu Zhao came back to his senses, closed his eyes as if he was stealing a bell, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Du He stretched his waist, snorted a haha, and asked with a smile: "How is it, Young Master Ben's sleeping posture is quite handsome, I am fascinated!" Looking at the shy Wu Zhao, remembering her status in history, I couldn't help but flirt.
Wu Zhao covered his head with a quilt and directly made a turtle with a shrunken head.
Thinking that he had molested Wu Zetian, Du He's heart was extraordinarily happy, he laughed three times, and asked, "Okay, don't laugh, let's get down to business, how did you let them arrest him?" ”
Wu Zhao quietly drilled out his head, his face was so red that he could almost drip blood, and when he saw that Du He really didn't laugh at her, he also made up his mind and said: "Last night, I was serving my good mother and was washing clothes by the well, when the gang suddenly rushed up and held me down, sealed my mouth, and covered it with a sack. By the way......" She was in a hurry and hurriedly said: "I have been missing all night, my mother and little sister must be in a hurry, I have to go back." ”
Du He stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, I have been missing all night, don't be in a hurry, listen to me after I finish speaking." First of all, I have to apologize to you, those guys are here for me, and you just suffered for no reason. Sorry! ”
Wu Zhao is a quick-witted figure, and what Du He did last night has already confirmed this. She had already secretly guessed it, and she was not surprised to hear him at this moment, but was a little happy, feeling that Du He trusted her and did not treat her as an outsider, so she immediately shook her head and said: "I have not suffered any damage, so I don't have to mind." ”
Du He said: "And I hope that last night's incident, don't let anyone know." It's a lot more serious than you and I think, and I won't say what is going on for your good. I'm still afraid of this matter, if you let the other party notice your existence, you should expect what the consequences will be. ”
Wu Zhao nodded solemnly.
They are all smart people in each other, Du He can understand what Wu Zhao said, and he knows that he has no power and no power, and if he falls into it, he will only hurt himself and his family.
So, he blinked and said with a smile: "The little woman has been weak since she was a child, and she went out to buy needlework last night, but she fainted and was rescued by her son on the side of the road, and she didn't know anything else. ”
Du He nodded with satisfaction, but Wu Zhao had a delicate heart.
Du He took out a bag of money and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you plan to go to Chang'an to do some business?" I have here two hundred loaves of silver, and I have the right to support them. I contribute money, you contribute wisdom, the business becomes bigger, and what you earn, you and I share dividends, what do you think? ”
"This ......" Wu Zhao looked at Du He suspiciously.
Du He smiled: "I'm not buying, although we have been together for a short time, but I found that your intelligence is not inferior to that of men, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things." If you are in business, you may become the richest businessman in Datang. ”
Du He smiled and moved his crooked thoughts, he didn't want another female emperor to appear in history. Wu Zetian's existence has no practical benefit to Datang, and while killing her to become the female emperor, she supports her in business, and with her intelligence, she may be able to become the financial empress of Datang.
