The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1353 Dragon Trapped in the Shoal
After Li Zhi was brought back to Chang'an, His Majesty ordered the Dali Temple and the Shenhou Mansion to jointly try the case. All the officials who were around Li Zhi were investigated and dealt with. As for Li Zhi himself, he was only locked up in the Dali Temple. It was also a hasty end. Li Zhi was sent to the Sixteenth Palace by His Majesty, and he was not allowed to enter or leave at will without His Majesty's will.

This is tantamount to imprisoning Li Zhi, neither endangering his life nor being distributed. Although the title has been deprived and demoted to a commoner, although life is uncomfortable in the sixteen king's house, he can eat, clothe and warm without being distributed. The suffering caused by running around.

This shows that His Majesty still has a bit of father-son friendship towards Li Zhi.

Zhang Liang's understanding of Li Zhi is limited to this, but the alchemist from Zhu said that his nobleman is the Ninth Prince, which is not wrong. Could it be that the Ninth Prince will have other opportunities in the future?
The words of the Tianzhu alchemist gave Zhang Liang unlimited reverie, and it depends on whether Zhang Liang himself can make the determination to take this risk in order to make further progress.

And Zhang Liang himself was also thinking, according to the current situation in the court, I am afraid that if he watches the court for the rest of his life, it will be difficult for him to have any chance to make meritorious service and become an official. Should he go or not go for this heresy way?
After all, Li Zhi is the prince, or the direct son of His Majesty and the Empress, if he just helps Li Zhi escape from the Sixteenth King's House, it is always possible, right?Even if Li Zhi gains power in the future, it will be a kindness to him, and if this is the case, His Majesty will not blame him
In this way, Zhang Liang decided that he could try this way, but he couldn't go all the way to the dark. His bottom line was just to help Li Zhi get out of the Sixteenth King's house, and after that, just It depends on Li Zhi's own good fortune, and whether Li Zhi is worthy of his help
He believed the alchemist's words, but it didn't mean that Zhang Liang would bet on the alchemist's words with his whole family's life. For so many years, if he was an official to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, if he didn't have two brushes, he would have been squeezed out of the court, so Zhang Liang is not stupid.

What is in front of us now is how to get in touch with Li Zhi. This is the problem. You can't just tell Li Zhi that I want to help you get out of the Sixteenth Palace. Will the other party believe it?
Forget it, let's ask the master.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang got up and went to the courtyard where the alchemist of Tianzhu was. When he entered the courtyard, he saw that the alchemist was sitting in the gazebo, meditating, and there was a smoker in front of him. taste.

"Master." Zhang Liang walked into the gazebo and called softly.

"Mr. Yun Guo came to see the poor monk, but he had doubts in his heart." Before Zhang Liang could speak, the alchemist said Zhang Liang's purpose for coming to see him.

The Tianzhu alchemist's "pretending to be a ghost" made Zhang Liang believe even more that this alchemist is a capable person and can always guess his mind.

Zhang Liang's mind, as long as the alchemist carefully observes Zhang Liang's face, he will not guess wrong. In front of these alchemists and warlocks, Zhang Liang's cover is always so weak, but now, Zhang Liang stands on the alchemist's face with a worried face. In front of him, unless the alchemist is blind, how can he not see that Zhang Liang has something on his mind.

Zhang Liang lifted his clothes and sat down on the couch opposite the alchemist. There was only a desk and a smoker between the two of them.

"I do have doubts in my heart." Zhang Liang said: "I have heard about the Ninth Princes that the master said. Previously, the Ninth Princes were sent to the Sixteenth King's House by His Majesty because of their involvement in conspiracy to rebel. There was no order from His Majesty." , not to leave, and even the title of King Jin was deprived. Although he lives in the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion, he has no title and is just a commoner. The master said that the Ninth Prince is a nobleman of this official, which makes this official really puzzled ah."

"Dragon Trapped Shoal, Dragon Trapped Shoal." The alchemist sighed.

The so-called "dragon" today also refers to something else. The words of the alchemist are in Zhang Liang's ears. He said that Li Zhi, the ninth prince, has the potential to become a "dragon".

In other words, if Li Zhi came out of the sixteen palaces, he might have a chance to aspire to the throne of the Ninth Five Lord.

It's no wonder that Li Zhi is a noble person. If I really help Li Zhi, and Li Zhi ascends to the throne in the future, I will be a minister of the dragon, and it is not impossible to take a step forward.

Zhang Liang fell into deep thought, but the alchemist still looked indifferent, sitting there cross-legged and meditating motionless, but occasionally glanced at Zhang Liang who was in deep thought without a trace.

It seems that the Duke of the country has been shaken in his heart. In this case, it is necessary to find the right opportunity and add more fire.

"Master, tell me, this Ninth Prince may leave the shallows in the future." Zhang Liang asked.

The alchemist opened his eyes and uttered a Buddha's name: "The dragon is trapped in the shoal. The situation is over. If there is no one to help, he will be a minority and disappear from the crowd. As for this opportunity, should the Duke grasp it or give it up? It's up to the Duke himself."

"If I seize this opportunity, what is the chance of success?" Zhang Liang asked.

The alchemist looked at Zhang Liang and smiled: "Every major event has a number of days and a definite number. For ordinary people, since it is to spy on the way of heaven, there are gains and losses, safety and danger. The poor monk has to Let me tell the Duke, although it is an opportunity, there is also danger in it."

The so-called danger and opportunity coexist. Zhang Liang understands this truth. There are risks in achieving great things, just like the rebellion and defection to Wagangzhai, and then descending to Tang. These are all risks. Common people, where did all the power, status and wealth come from?

"What the master said, I know, but the situation of the Ninth Prince is really special, and I have no idea." Zhang Liang said.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Liang has no confidence in Li Zhi. A commoner prince, who is restricted by His Majesty, doesn't seem like a person who can accomplish anything?
How to do it?Is it possible to wait in the sixteenth prince's mansion, and wait for the few princes outside to earn a lot of money and be exiled from Chang'an City by His Majesty, and then reap the benefits of being a fisherman?
It is obviously impossible, not to mention that Lunbu got him in turn, the one in the East Palace now, and there is no sign of fighting with the other princes.

Ambitious princes, such as Li You and Li Yin, have already been bestowed to death by His Majesty
Thinking of the prince who was given to death because of his involvement in the rebellion, Zhang Liang seemed to understand a little bit in his heart. The other princes were given to death for rebellion, but Li Zhi was only deprived of his title and sent to the Sixteenth Prince's Palace.
