Chapter 210 Chess Pieces Change Chess Players
In fact, even without Chen Shuda's appearance, Li Yuan would still attack Dou, because Dou Wei and Dou Kang are too eye-catching in the political affairs hall.

What really shocked Li Zhiyun was the planning of this matter, which actually started two months ago, because the warrior Xun was able to install people in the Dou family's grain storage, and it was definitely not something that could be done overnight.Lao Li's forbearance and scheming once again refreshed Li Zhiyun's view of him.

Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, this matter is not necessarily aimed at Dou Wei, it may also be Dou Kang, but no matter what, Dou's family will lose one person this time. If you say something disrespectful, King Qin's military achievements will be inferior to you." He needs the king of Qin to check and balance the prince, but why not need the prince to balance the king of Qin. Now that things have developed to this point, the prince's situation is precarious, and there is only one Liu Wenjing in the political hall as his tongue , the sage will definitely change all of this.”

"Winning a Dou Xiangguo can not only suppress Guan Long, but also suppress King Qin, and balance the government again, killing two birds with one stone."

Li Zhiyun nodded, and said: "You are right, this matter may really be planned by the father behind the scenes. But I don't understand, once the final thing is completed, will the Dou family not be divorced from the father?"

"will not."

"why?"

"Your Highness must have forgotten. This time Dali Temple Minister Zheng Shanguo is cooperating with the case. If he is told that Dou's private possession of bows and crossbows is revealed, do you think Donggong will give up such a good opportunity?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun instantly understood everything.

In this matter, Lao Li completed [-]% of the progress bar, but Lao Li handed over the last one percent, the knife of the killer, to the prince.

Once the prince knows that Dou's private possession of bows and crossbows, he may guess that the matter is not simple, but he will not give up the opportunity to suppress Dou's.

When the time comes, the prince who jumps on to bite someone will offend the Dou family.

As for Lao Li, he stayed out of the matter and watched the fire from the other side.

Let the prince do the things that offend others, and he will collect the fruits of victory behind his back.

Well-meaning!
Even King Qin and Dou's would suspect that this matter was planned by the prince from the beginning to the end!

After all, their relationship with the prince couldn't be worse.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun remembered that in history, Old Li had been constantly balancing the power of the Prince and the King of Qin.At the end of the development, it evolved into the prince in charge and the king of Qin in charge of the army.

Now, King Qin is powerful and has a close relationship with the Guanlong family, which has already aroused Lao Li's fear.

The move of suppression was expected.

"If it is found out that Dou's private possession of bows and crossbows is finally found out, the prince will take the opportunity to advise and take down Dou Wei or Dou Kang. As one of the officials handling this case, won't this king be involved and even be hated by King Qin and Dou's family?" ?” Li Zhiyun had a gloomy face.

What he was more worried about was that once this matter developed in a logical way, Li Shimin would think that he had leaned towards the prince.

He obviously didn't do anything, yet he was involved in such a disturbance.

Wrong!

Du Ruhui thought for a while and asked, "Then what should His Highness do?"

"This king wants to get out of the matter immediately."

"Wrong." Du Ruhui shook his head.

"Wrong?" Li Zhiyun asked, "Where is the mistake?"

Du Ruhui analyzed: "Now the situation is very clear. The warrior Xun will definitely be able to solve the case in the end. If His Highness withdraws from the matter at this time, what will the sage, the crown prince, and the King of Qin think afterwards?"

Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me, sir."

"Your Highness, don't do this. It is your duty to share your worries with His Highness." Du Ruhui hastily replied, and then analyzed: "Let's start with the saint. This matter is led by the saint. In the eyes of the saint, your highness is just a pawn. According to the saint's plan, His Highness should be a witness for the whole process this time, and not participate in the specific planning. If His Highness withdraws from the matter at this time, will the Saint feel that His Highness has noticed something?"

Li Zhiyun's heart tightened. He is now a political idiot in Lao Li's mind. Once he behaved abnormally in this incident, he might immediately arouse Lao Li's vigilance.

"anything else?"

Du Ruhui continued: "Once the crown prince took the opportunity to attack and managed to make one of Dou Wei and Dou Kangzhong leave the political affairs hall, it would be strange to find out that His Highness had withdrawn strangely during this incident. The same is true for King Qin."

Li Zhiyun felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched, and argued: "In their eyes, this king has always kept his duty. It is understandable to ask the father to be punished lightly because of the fact that he cannot solve the case."

"No." Du Ruhui shook his head, "Your Highness, you are wrong again."

"wrong again?"

"That's right, Your Highness, please think about it. There are countless people who made mistakes in the clan and ministers, but how many people were punished in the end? There was King Qi before, King Yong'an, and King Changping later. Your Highness just didn't find out the thief who had stolen the weapons. Isn't it strange why you are so afraid of directly pleading guilty?"

Li Zhiyun's brow was sweating, and he finally realized that he was thinking too naively.

Li Yuanji was defeated and insulted the prime minister's daughter-in-law, but nothing happened in the end.As the emperor's son, he couldn't solve the case. This trivial matter was nothing at all.Besides, in the eyes of the ministers, even if the case cannot be solved in the end, it is the samurai Xun who is responsible for it. He is just a servant of the Ministry of Industry, and it is not his turn to take the main responsibility.

What is he afraid of?
If he pleaded guilty halfway and got out of the matter, in the end the crown prince and King Qin would definitely suspect that he had noticed something, and then leave halfway.

Not to mention Li Yuan's side, they will definitely be suspected.

Li Zhiyun took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "I was indeed wrong, thank you sir for reminding me."

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to do anything now, just continue to investigate the case. As long as His Highness doesn't find out that the bow and crossbow are hidden in Dou's manor, this matter has nothing to do with His Highness."

Li Zhiyun nodded, "You are right, I will remember it."

After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "It's just that it's really aggrieved to be a pawn this time."

Although the chess player is Lao Li, it doesn't mean that Li Zhiyun is willing to be a pawn to be manipulated.

"Before His Highness didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, His Highness was a pawn, but now His Highness is not." Du Ruhui said meaningfully.

"what for?"

"Your Highness, this time the sage did not hesitate to end himself and plan to deal with the Dou family. This shows that one of Dou Wei and Dou Kang will leave the Zhengshitang in the future. As a result, the Zhengshitang will lack a prime minister."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun's thoughts raced rapidly.

"Whether it's Dou Wei leaving or Dou Kang leaving, the next prime minister, father and emperor will definitely not let people from Guanlong enter the political affairs hall. On the side of the crown prince, I'm afraid that the old matter will be brought up again, so try to find a way to re-insert Li Gang into the political affairs hall." The king of Qin will definitely not agree to this great loss, and will definitely try his best to prevent the prince's people from entering the political affairs hall. And the father does not want to see the prince overpowering the king of Qin at this time, let alone let the power of the king of Qin be supplemented in the political affairs hall .”

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun's eyes flashed, "This is my king's chance!"

"That's right, it's the King's opportunity." Du Ruhui analyzed: "In the hands of the crown prince, the person who is suitable to be elected as prime minister is Li Gang. On the side of the King of Qin, it is likely to be Dou Jing, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. But these two people, Your Majesty will not agree. The former has a chance, but the latter is Dou Kang's younger brother, how could Your Majesty want to see another member of the Dou family enter the picture?"

No matter from which point of view, one of Dou Wei and Dou Kang was dismounted this time, and the vacant position of Xiangguo, Lao Li was definitely unwilling to hand it over to the prince or King Qin to enter the political affairs hall.

Because, the matter of Chen Shuda becoming a prime minister is a lesson from the past.

At the beginning, Lao Li drove away Dugu Zhen to attack Guan Long's forces, but he didn't expect that Chen Shuda, who was promoted, was actually a member of the King of Qin.

This is simply doing a useless thing.

Li Zhiyun calmed down and thought carefully.

"Both the Prince's and the King of Qin's people can't be photographed, so who is the most likely to be photographed?"

Now, he knows how things are going, and he can justifiably transform from a chess piece to a chess player, but how to place the pieces is open to discussion.
