Chapter 54 The more you go, the more lonely you are
Now, Li Zhiyun realized that he had underestimated these 'ancients'. Whether it was Xue Shou or Du Ruhui, they completely changed his mind about the 'ancients'.
Under Du Ruhui's gaze, Li Zhiyun sighed: "I did notice something, but I just wanted to protect myself."
"Just to protect yourself?" Du Ruhui showed a 'malicious' smile.
"Keming, why are you doing this?" Li Zhiyun looked helpless at Du Ruhui's probing questions, knowing that it would be pointless to just say it out loud.
Hearing this, Du Ruhui already had the answer in his mind. He smiled slightly and said, "It's because of my humble position that I overthink it. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."
Li Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the cushion, and asked, "Then what should I do now?"
Du Ruhui came to sit next to him, leaned forward, and whispered: "Your Highness, Wang Xie must be handed over, but Wang Gui cannot be handed over to the prince. He must be replaced by someone else."
"Who should I replace?"
"Wang Tong."
"Chang Shi?" Li Zhiyun said in disbelief: "Keming, are you kidding me? With Chang Shi's temperament, if he knew about this matter, he would definitely ask me to hand him over to my father."
When Wang Tong was greeted that day, he mentioned Yang Xiu's incident, which was not without the intention of alerting Li Zhiyun.
Du Ruhui explained: "Your Majesty, we can totally adopt a two-pronged approach, asking Xue Canjun to inform Wang Gui while accidentally leaking the news to Wang Tong. In this way, His Highness can stay out of the affair. Furthermore, Wang
Tong Nai is the chief historian of the palace, and he has the responsibility to correct His Highness's words and deeds. It is reasonable and reasonable for him to do this, and no one can find fault. Moreover, given the relationship between Wang Tong and Wang Gui, the East Palace can't say anything.
"
"At most, I can only blame His Highness for letting the prince know about this."
Grass!
Lao Du, why are you so thoughtful?
Du Ruhui followed closely and said, "Just like this, His Highness's plan will be ruined."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun's eyes tightened.
"Keming, you are really sharp."
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Actually, Your Highness does not need to deliberately ask the Crown Prince to confront the Dugu clan, because someone has already done it for Your Highness."
"who?"
Du Ruhui said nothing, but pointed upward.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun was silent for half a stick of incense, then came to his senses and laughed loudly.
After laughing, he looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Keming, I'm so lucky to have met you. Otherwise, I might have become the target of public criticism."
Du Ruhui said humbly: "Your Highness, don't worry. If you are not close to Your Highness, if you are not paying attention to Your Highness, if you are not a first-class smart person, you will never see the clues."
"Are you bragging?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.
Du Ruhui smiled and scratched his head, looking a little honest. In fact, he was right, only these kinds of people could tell the clues. Because he had been with King Chu for a long time, and because of King Chu's trust, he could see King Chu's
Plan.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun straightened his back and bowed solemnly to Du Ruhui.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Du Ruhui hurriedly went to help him.
Li Zhiyun raised his head, cupped his hands and looked at her, "In the future, sir, please give me some advice on Zhiyun."
After saying this, he bowed again.
Seeing this, Du Ruhui held up his hands and said, "Du Ruhui will do his best to assist His Highness!"
Bow down and bow down.
There was silence in the hall, except for two people worshiping each other.
Li Zhiyun was indeed very happy to receive Du Ruhui's help, but Du Ruhui's analysis made his hair stand on end.
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: "Your Highness, Xue Canjun actually 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 thought that he was from the Xue family in Hedong.
He will become His Highness’s arm in the future and cannot be abandoned lightly. Moreover, Xue Shou is very talented and His Highness cannot let him go.”
"But his thoughts are not with me." Li Zhiyun sighed.
Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Your Highness, please relax. Xue Shou will just leave it to a humble position."
"Well, I'll leave it to you, Xue Shou."
"I will share your worries with His Highness."
Du Ruhui said goodbye and left, and Li Zhiyun looked at his back and fell into deep thought.
He remembered that Du Ruhui seemed to be from Jingzhao Du family.
From Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu.
Li Zhiyun understood that if he wanted to succeed, he could not do without these people.
"Aqiang."
Li Qiang walked in from outside and said, "Your Highness."
"Du Canjun is my king's confidant from now on. You can send someone to protect him secretly, and also see who wants to attack him."
"As commanded."
As Li Qiang went down, Li Zhiyun sat on the soft cushion and was speechless for a long time.
He feels that he trusts others less and less.
In other words, the feeling of loneliness is getting deeper and deeper.
That road may be the so-called solitary person.
However, the cliff is steep and if you take one wrong step, you will be in danger.
"well."
A sigh echoed in the room and lingered for a long time.
The Xue family in Hedong has no personal enmity against the Dugu family in Guanlong, but only has a hostile stance. The struggle between them does not involve hatred, but only a struggle for interests.
Looking at the Six Prime Ministers of the Tang Dynasty today, there is not a single person from Shandong noble family, which is enough to make them dissatisfied.
No one in the Xue family has the opportunity to get close to the position of Prime Minister, but this does not prevent him from helping other Shandong people get close to that position. If Guan Long had been in power, I would have known how miserable the Shandong nobles would be.
As fellow Shandong nobles, helping others is helping yourself.
Xue Shou had no intention of plotting against Li Zhiyun. He just hoped that the King of Chu could have closer ties with the Shandong nobles.
Under Xue Shou's ingenious design, Wang Gui, the prince of the East Palace and a member of the family, learned the news.
East Palace.
"Are you telling the truth?" 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 present. During the dinner, he drank too much and had no intention of revealing the news."
Li Jiancheng walked back and forth and said, "Unintentional? Did he reveal the news to you on purpose, or was this the intention of King Chu?"
Wang Gui said: "Your Highness, whether it is King Chu's intention or not, this is an excellent opportunity for us. Nowadays, the Saint deeply hates the Dugu family. If Your Highness presents this evidence, the Sacred Heart will definitely be very happy."
"Then why didn't King Chu do this?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Wang Gui thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you mean that the King of Chu wants to take advantage of us?"
"Otherwise?" Li Jiancheng said: "The King of Chu also knows that his father is dissatisfied with the Dugu family. Why would he give such credit to others? If he is really united with Gu Daoming, why doesn't he come directly to find out the situation of Gu Daoming?"
Wang Gui said: "Xue Shou said that the King of Chu was very hesitant and didn't know whether he should hand him over or not."
This made Li Jiancheng startled. He suddenly remembered that the fifth child was not the second child, so he probably didn't have so many thoughts.
Recently, Li Shimin was expelling 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 cavalry general of the East Palace Youyi Guard, hurriedly came to report.
"Your Highness, the saint summons you to enter the palace immediately."
"Did something happen?"
"I didn't tell you what I was going to do. I just asked you to enter the palace immediately."
"I know."
Li Yuan suddenly summoned him, so Li Jiancheng could only put the matter aside temporarily and organize himself before entering the palace.
