It has been a few months since Xue Chongxun left Beijing, and the situation in Chang'an is still in a delicate balance, as if two formations are in a circle, but because of bad weather and other reasons, both sides do not want to intensify the contradictions, and each maintains restraint, which is both calm and crisis-ridden. What Xue Chongxun was doing outside, the people on Li Longji's side didn't pay much attention to it.

There are not only reasons for Xue Chongxun's lack of strength, but also reasons why Li Longji originally despised him. wanted to overthrow the coup d'état of Empress Wei last year, Princess Taiping's other three sons had more or less credit, so the three sons were crowned kings, but Xue Chongxun didn't have any credit at all, and only mixed up with the title of Duke of Weiguo.

How capable can a person who can't even grasp a great opportunity have?

However, Li Longji is not fighting alone, there is someone around him who finally smells the fishy smell, and this person is Wang Ju. At the beginning of the year, he went to the prince's mansion, saying that he wanted to thank him, and Prince Xie fished him up from the rivers and lakes as a nine-grade sesame official, but he pretended to be in the prince's mansion, threatening that everyone in the world only knew Princess Taiping, but did not know that there was a prince.

He didn't mean to offend Li Longji, in fact, it was a disguised self-recommendation, which means that the prince needs a resourceful person now, and he is a resourceful person.

Wang Ju is very good at self-recommendation, and when Tang Zhongzong was in power two years ago, he did the same, and won the appreciation of Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Sansi. Once when he saw Wu Sansi, he immediately burst into tears, and after crying, he laughed again...... This person was crying and laughing, Wu Sansi was very puzzled, so he asked the reason. Wang Ju said: I cry for you, you are going to be in trouble; Laughing is laughing for you, and now that you are about to get a counselor like me, you will be able to avoid disaster, and I am glad for you......

Unfortunately, Wu Sansi was killed in a coup d'état, and later the political situation was turbulent, and Wang Ju was squeezed out of the temple and exiled to the rivers and lakes. After Li Longji became the crown prince, he accidentally thought of this person, so he got him up to be a nine-rank official. Wang Ju saw that there was a play, and he made a show in front of Li Longji, was promoted again, and mixed into the staff of the East Palace to help Li Longji deal with government affairs.

Wang Ju found a message from a pile of official newspapers that recorded the eunuch Yu Liben's visit to Youzhou, and when he thought about it, he felt very strange...... It was not uncommon for the imperial court to send an interview envoy to inspect the place, but what did this eunuch do with him?

He took the message to the prince's case and expressed his doubts. Li Longji pondered for a moment and said: "It's indeed a little inconsistent with the usual practice, but you don't have to care about such a trivial matter." ”

Wang Ju said: "Your Highness should pay more attention to the subsections when you do big things." ”

"Oh?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that this sentence was a bit interesting, because what the world likes to say is that big husbands are not informal, but Wang Ju said the opposite.

After Wang Ju took refuge in him, Li Longji actually liked this quick-thinking little man more and more, Wang Ju really had a little ink in his stomach, but he was not as tall as other scholars, he wanted to be motivated, and he didn't hide it at all. Li Longji likes people with true temperament.

"Your Highness, what others want to do, if the news is kept secret, we will not have any rumors at all, only to judge through various subsections. You said that if you want to do big things, can you not pay attention to small details? Wang Ju said unhurriedly.

Li Longji tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, as if thinking about something, and said casually: "If you have anything to say, just say it, and the speaker is not guilty." ”

Wang Ju lowered his head and frowned, and only after a moment did he say in a deep voice: "Today, I stumbled upon the message about the official eunuch Yu Liben going to Youzhou, and I suddenly woke up to the fact that we had all forgotten a very important person before...... King Fen! ”

Li Longji raised his head, looked at Wang Ju's face, paused, and remained silent: "I have dealings with King Fen before, and I don't think there is any need to guard against him." ”

This sound good at first glance, but it is actually an extreme contempt for Fen Ge Li Shouli. Wang Ju's brows were still not stretched, and he said softly: "I'm afraid that I will be used by the people over there in Taiping." ”

Li Longji was silent by default, as if he was thinking carefully about the joints.

Wang Ju continued to persuade: "After Princess Taiping's son Xue Chongxun left Beijing, the latest news about his whereabouts was to go south along the Guangji Canal. But in case he secretly crossed Chen Cang and sneaked into Youzhou...... Xue Chongxun is the son of Princess Taiping, if he goes to Youzhou in person, most of the Fen kings will take refuge in the past. ”

Li Longji shook his head and said: "If it was Xue Erlang who went to Beijing this time, I was really worried that he would make such a play, but Xue Chongxun is different, he has always acted like a person who can do such a thing." ”

Last year, the two alliances of Li Dan's family and Princess Taiping's family were preparing to engage Empress Wei, and it was Xue Erlang who came to Li Longji's side unknowingly to take charge of the alliance. So Li Longji felt that Xue Erlang was better at doing such things...... And before Xue Chongxun got the memory of later generations, he was a Ma Daha, muscular and simple-minded.

Whether it is Li Shouli, the king of Fen, or Xue Chongxun and Xue Erlang, they are all Li Longji's cousins, what kind of people have they known since they were young, how could Li Longji not know?

Despite this, but listening to what Wang Ju said, Li Longji still thought about it a few times, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "The affairs of Youzhou, you don't have to take care of it, you can't manage it, even if we suspect it, before we have real evidence, how can we take King Fen?" Doing too much is bad for your reputation. However, more than 10,000 soldiers were newly recruited on the canal, which is really worrying, and I am afraid that Princess Taiping's people will control all this force of people and horses! We've got to put some people in there, and we can't make them monolithic. ”

Wang Ju insisted: "Your Highness, I still think that Youzhou is the key, even if we can't do anything now, we can't take it lightly." ”

Li Longji said kindly: "I know the reason for your worry, but don't act rashly. If we let the people around King Fen know that we have a heart of prevention, not only will it not help, but it will strengthen their minds to join Princess Taiping, understand? ”

Wang Ju hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I don't mean to deal with King Fen, but to find out the truth of this matter!" Think about it, if Xue Chongxun really went to Youzhou to find King Fen, what would Princess Taiping want to do? ”

At this time, Li Longji's face suddenly turned cold and became solemn...... Yes, what is Li Shouli capable of? What does he do in the Taiping Princess Alliance? Of course, he values Li Shouli's identity: Prince Zhang Huai's heir!

Then Princess Taiping wants to rebel and coup d'état?

Li Longji pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said, "But in the current situation, she (Taiping) doesn't need to do this at all!" Then he showed a smile again, "Wang Ju, it's because you're too nervous, your reasoning is completely based on speculation, and the starting point is that there is no shadow." ”

Wang Ju said: "If it's not just guessing and predicting, but the credentials have been found, what else does Your Highness use your ministers for?" ”

Wang Ju's speculation is indeed full of novelty, but Li Longji is not a person who listens to a few words casually. Li Longji said very confidently: "There is some truth in your idea, but it is not yet that step, what we have to do is to stabilize and wait for an opportunity." ”

……

But Li Longji didn't expect that Xue Chongxun really did what Xue Erlang had done at the beginning, he had only been in Youzhou for a few days, and he had already contacted Li Shouli, the king of Fen, and the two sides reached an alliance. Li Shouli personally wrote a letter to his aunt, Princess Taiping, and handed it to Xue Chongxun.

After Xue Chongxun received the letter, the big thing had been accomplished, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he didn't stay too long at the moment and quietly went out of Youzhou. Before leaving, he saw Pan Dabeard and told the ins and outs of the horse's "fish eye", which turned out to be stolen by the people of the Xishi Inn.

When Xue Chongxun and Pan Haoli were talking, they deliberately showed indignation, which meant to make Pan Haoli angry...... That inn doesn't have a good background, and if Xue Chongxun said a bad word and provoked the government, I'm afraid that the business will be affected somewhat in the future.

Thinking about the troubles that the inn was going to encounter, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but feel a little more relieved.

Before leaving, Xue Chongxun secretly gave Yu Liben another breath, the matter had been completed, so he didn't want to stay in Youzhou for too long, for fear of being suspected.

The group continued to pretend to be vendors, bought a few dogskins and sheepskins, and then left Youzhou, and went all the way south non-stop, chasing the official ship that went south along the Guangji Canal.

Youzhou is getting farther and farther away, and when Xue Chongxun looks back, it is really unimaginable that such a remote and desolate place, near Youzhou, will be the capital of several dynasties hundreds of years later!

Either way, he was relieved for the time being. It's a terrible feeling to engage in this conspiracy, just like being a thief, you have to sneak around at any time, lest others know about it...... But it's finally done. He said to the guards beside him: "I have to thank everyone for their duties and cooperation, and I will definitely not treat you badly when I go back." ”

Fang Yuzhong and the others were very happy when they heard it, but he wanted to pretend to be modest and said: "It's all up to Lang Jun for big things, we just do our duty, and we don't dare to take credit." ”

Xue Chongxun sighed: "It's good that everyone does their best." It's like a temple event, my mother stands on the highest place, in such a general situation, isn't my position similar to yours? It's just a matter of doing what you can...... There is a limit to what one person can do. ”

Almost no one could understand Xue Chongxun's exclamation and mood, and Xue Chongxun didn't care, anyway, he got used to it.

At this time, everyone was in a good mood, and they only heard the horse idiot rummaging through the things on the shelves and cars, while joking: "Let's pretend to be vendors, we should really buy a few good wool pieces and sell them in the south, and make a few bucks." Look what the old party is doing, this is a dogskin...... No, can this be sold for money, it's actually a dirt dog skin! ”G
