Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 54

Only now did Li Zhiyun realize that he underestimated these 'ancient people'.Whether it was Xue Shou or Du Ruhui, he completely changed his views on the 'ancient people'.

Under Du Ruhui's gaze, Li Zhiyun sighed, "I did notice it, but I just wanted to protect myself."

"Just for self-protection?" Du Ruhui revealed a 'malicious' smile.

"Ke Ming, why are you doing this?" Li Zhiyun seemed a little helpless to Du Ruhui's inquiries.

Hearing this, Du Ruhui already had the answer in his heart, and he smiled slightly, "I think too much about my humble job, please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."

Li Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the soft cushion, and asked, "Then what should I do now?"

Du Ruhui came to sit beside him, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Wang Xie must be handed over, but Wang Gui cannot be handed over to the crown prince, he has to be replaced."

"Who?"

"Wang Tong."

"Chang Shi?" Li Zhiyun said incredulously: "Ke Ming, you are not kidding me. With Chang Shi's temperament, if he knew about this matter, he would definitely let me hand him over to the emperor."

When he greeted Wang Tong that day, he mentioned Yang Xiu's matter, not without the intention of alerting Li Zhiyun.

Du Ruhui explained: "Your Majesty, we can do a two-pronged approach. While asking Xue Canjun to inform Wang Gui, we accidentally disclose the news to Wang Tong. In this way, His Highness can get out of the business. Besides, Wang Tong is the long history of the palace. He has the responsibility of His Highness Kuangzheng's words and deeds, and it is reasonable and reasonable for him to do this, and no one can fault it. Moreover, with the relationship between Wang Tong and Wang Gui, the East Palace can't say anything."

"At most, I can only blame His Royal Highness for letting the king know about this matter."

Grass!
Old Du, why are you so heartless?

Du Ruhui followed closely and said, "Just doing this will spoil His Highness's plan."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun's eyes tightened.

"Keming, you are really sharp."

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to deliberately ask the Prince to confront the Dugu Clan, because someone has already done it for His Highness."

"Who?"

Du Ruhui didn't speak, just pointed upwards.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun was silent for half a stick of incense, then he recovered and laughed out loud.

After laughing, he looked at Du Ruhui, "Ke Ming, I'm really lucky to have met you. Otherwise, I'd be afraid that I would have been targeted long ago."

Du Ruhui said humbly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, if it wasn't for someone close to Your Highness, if you didn't pay attention to His Highness, or if you weren't a first-class wise person, you wouldn't be able to see the clue."

"Are you boasting?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.

Du Ruhui smiled and scratched his head, looking a little simple and honest.In fact, he was right, only these types of people could see the clues.Because he had been with the King of Chu for a long time, and because of the King of Chu's trust, he could see the King of Chu's plan.

Immediately, Li Zhiyun straightened his waist and bowed solemnly towards Du Ruhui.

"Your Highness, this is you?" Du Ruhui hurried to help.

Li Zhiyun raised his head and cupped his hands to face him, "In the future, please, sir, give more advice to Zhiyun."

Saying goodbye again.

Seeing this, Du Ruhui cupped his hands, "Du Ruhui, I will do my best and do my best to assist Your Highness!"

Bend over, bow down.

The hall was silent, only the two of them bowed to each other.

Li Zhiyun was really happy to have Du Ruhui's help, but Du Ruhui's analysis made him horrified.

He thought he was not in the game, but in fact he was already in the game.

"Keming, how do you think I should treat Xue Canjun?"

Du Ruhui thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness, Xue Canjun has no bad intentions, he is just doing what he thinks is right. Moreover, his original intention should not be to murder Your Highness. I think that he was born in the Xue family in Hedong. In the future, he will become the arm of His Highness and should not be neglected. Moreover, Xue Shou is known for his talents, and His Highness cannot let it go."

"But his mind is not with me." Li Zhiyun sighed.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Your Highness, relax, Xue Shou's side will be handed over to the humble post."

"Well, Xue Shou will ask you."

"It will be for Your Highness to share the worries."

Du Ruhui left, and Li Zhiyun looked at his back and fell into contemplation.

He remembered that Du Ruhui seemed to be from the Jingzhao Du family.

South of the city, Wedu, go to Tianchiwu.

Li Zhiyun understands that if he wants to succeed, he cannot do without these people.

"Aqiang."

Li Qiang walked in from outside, "Your Highness."

"Du Canjun has been the king's confidant from now on. You can send someone to protect him secretly. By the way, let's see who wants to attack him."

"As ordered."

As Li Qiang went down, Li Zhiyun sat on the cushion and was speechless for a long time.

He felt that he was becoming less and less trusting of others.

In other words, the loneliness is getting deeper and deeper.

That road may be the so-called loneliness.

However, the cliff is steep, and if you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

"Ugh."

A sigh echoed in the house for a long time.

The Xue clan of Hedong had no personal grudge against the Dugu clan of Guanlong, only a hostile position.The struggle between them does not involve hatred either, only a conflict of interests.

Looking at the Six Elements of the Tang Dynasty today, there is not a single person from the Shandong nobility, which is enough to make them dissatisfied.

No one in the Xue family has the opportunity to approach the position of Xiangguo, but this does not prevent him from helping other Shandong people approach that position.If Guanlong had always been in power, he would have known how miserable the Shandong gentry would have been.

The same Shandong gentry, to help others, is to help yourself.

From his heart, Xue Shou did not intend to design Li Zhiyun. He just hoped that the King of Chu could be more closely connected with the Shandong gentry.

Under the ingenious design of Xue Shou, Wang Gui, the prince of the East Palace, learned the news.

East Palace.

"What you said is true?" Li Jiancheng stared at Wang Gui.

"It's absolutely true." Wang Gui said: "Yesterday Xue Shou went to visit Wang Tong, and his subordinate happened to be there. During the banquet, he drank too much and had no intention of revealing the news."

Li Jiancheng walked back and forth and said, "Unintentional? Did he deliberately reveal the news to you, or is this what the King of Chu meant?"

Wang Gui said: "His Royal Highness, whether it is the intention of the King of Chu or not, this is our perfect opportunity. Now the saints hate the Dugu clan deeply. If His Highness presents this evidence, the Sacred Heart will be delighted."

"Then why didn't the King of Chu do this?" Li Jiancheng asked rhetorically.

Wang Gui thought for a while and said, "Your Highness means that the King of Chu wants to use us?"

"Otherwise?" Li Jiancheng said, "The King of Chu also knew that his father was dissatisfied with the Dugu clan. Why would he give such credit to others? If he really has the same heart as Gu Daoming, why didn't he come directly to Gu Daoming's situation?"

Wang Gui said: "Xue Shou said, the King of Chu is hesitant, and he doesn't know if he should hand over the person."

This made Li Jiancheng startled, and he suddenly remembered that the fifth child is not the second child, so he should not have so many hearts.

Recently, Li Shimin wanted to exclude Li Jiancheng's people from the army in order to conquer Xue Ju, which made him very tired and suspicious.

At this moment, Feng Li, the general of the chariot and cavalry of the Youyiwei Guard in the East Palace, came to report in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness, the saint has summoned you to enter the palace immediately."

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't say anything, just let you enter the palace immediately."

"I know."

Li Yuan suddenly summoned, and Li Jiancheng could only put the matter aside temporarily and tidy up and enter the palace.
