Chapter 153
Facing Li Chu's horrified expression, Li Mi was still calm. He nodded gently and stopped talking.
Li Chu took a breath and said with a panic look: "This... this is really a killer move! No wonder the gentleman warned us not to act rashly. Once this matter is exposed, we...we will be completely finished!"
"Don't worry, your highness, they will not use this move unless it is absolutely necessary. Your Highness knows this, so he did not act in a hurry like your Highness." Li Mi smiled slightly, looking calm and gentle.
"It seems that I've been acting hastily, but I've caused trouble for my father." Li Chu smiled mockingly, and then asked: "Sir, please forgive the stupidity of the little king. Xiao Wang is puzzled. Since they have such a killer weapon, why don't they use it?"
Li Mi laughed: "I'm sorry, I'm really a bit stupid to ask this."
This was a bit rude, but Li Chu's face did not show any displeasure, but instead seemed even more respectful.
So Li Mi continued, "Your Highness, think about it, if you were the one who is today, what would you do if they had shaken things out now?"
"Of course I will destroy my father!" Li Chu said without hesitation.
"What then?" Li Mi asked with a smile.
"Then..." Li Chu thought for a moment, frowned and replied, "Of course I'm going to choose another crown prince!"
"Then will you choose 6 young masters?" Li Mi continued to ask.
Li Chu thought for a long time, then shook his head firmly: "No, if I were Your Majesty, even if I knew that the deposed prince was provoked by Concubine Wu Hui, on the one hand, it was difficult to take back the golden words. On the other hand, I was not familiar with the emperor's grandson Liu Yu, and I didn't know his talents, nor could I get close to him, so naturally I wouldn't choose him!"
"That's right!" Li Mi slapped his palms and said slowly: "What Your Highness said makes sense, so if they say this now, it will be of no help to achieve their goals. On the contrary, when Your Majesty becomes the crown prince again, he will definitely be influenced by the power of the Yang family, which is the power of the Concubine. At that time, the newly established crown prince is stable, and it will be even more difficult for them to achieve their goals."
"But they will use this trick in the end, right?"
"That's right!" Li Mi nodded: "But before that, they will first shake the Yang family's status, and let the 6th Prince get the recognition of His Majesty, and establish a deep enough relationship with His Majesty. Only then will they make the 6th Prince's life experience public with this matter. In this way, their plan will be done!"
Listening to Li Mi's analysis, a trace of helplessness gradually appeared on Li Chu's face: "Is there any way to stop such a plan? We can't help the Yang family, right?"
Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "Of course we can't help the Yang family. If the 6th son succeeded, he might even spare our lives to show tolerance. But if the Yang family succeeded, we would not be able to escape and die."
"What should I do?" Li Chu reached out and pressed his forehead, blocking his bitterness on his face.
"Your Highness, there is only one way. The official has told you, so don't hesitate anymore." Li Mi said slowly.
"But that's a strategy to drive a tiger and swallow a wolf! If it's not done well..." Li Chu raised his head and frowned.
"No! Your Highness!" Li Mi interrupted him: "This is not driving a tiger to swallow a wolf, it is taking advantage of the situation on the 6th Prince to create chaos and then take the opportunity to accomplish things. But he must be wiped out at the beginning of the uprising of An Lushan, otherwise, once he gains power, his evil tiger will eat all of us to the point of not even leaving any scum!"
Li Chu was terrified when he heard this sentence: "This... this method is really a bit risky, we..."
"But your Highness, there is no other way." Li Mi interrupted him again.
Li Chu was silent for a long time, and finally he gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard: "Okay! Then listen to Mr. An Lushan's people arrived in Chang'an, Xiao Wang would contact him immediately!"
"No, no!" Li Mi waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Highness should not contact An Lushan's people. Your Highness should contact An Lushan's second son, An Qingxu's people!"
"What's the difference?"
"An Qingzong, who stayed in Chang'an, is An Lushan's eldest son. No matter how cruel An Lushan is, he will be scruples. But An Qingxu is different. If his elder brother is gone, he should be happy, right?" Li Mi stroked his beard that was about a long time and said to the old god.
"Okay! Just as the sir said!" Li Chu said with conviction. Then he raised the teacup in front of him and whispered: "Today we will use tea instead of wine and have a drink for our great things!"
Li Mi also raised the teacup, and the two of them touched the cups in the air and drank them all in one go.
The white porcelain cup was placed on the table and a crisp "ding" sound was made. Han Yan's voice was inserted at this time: "After talking for so long, what is the killer weapon you are talking about that can destroy the entire erotic palace?"
Li Chu reached out and touched her soft black, and smiled docilely: "Yan'er, do you want to know? Then you have to give me some reward!"
Han Yan pouted, looking very cute: "Hmph! If you don't tell me, forget it! I'm too lazy to care about all your brain-burning things!" As she said that, she stood up as angry and ran out with her arms shaking.
"Yan'er! Yan'er!" Li Chu shouted twice at Han Yan's back, but the other party did not stop, but raised his hand to block his ears and ran away faster.
Li Chu had to turn his head and smiled at Li Mi awkwardly: "Yan'er is all good, she always likes to play tricks. Just go back and coax it!"
Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "This is the prince's family matter, there is no need to explain it to his subordinates." As he said that, his expression became serious: "But is Your Highness really going to inform the princess of this matter?"
"I don't plan to say it, after all, there is no need for her participation in this matter. But if she insists on asking, I'm afraid I'll tell her." Li Chu smiled helplessly, and the person with a little bit of eyes could see that his smile was full of doting for Han Yan.
"Your Highness must not!" Li Mi said decisively: "If the princess knows this kind of big thing, it will probably cause twists and turns, and even make us lose all our efforts!"
"Ah?" Li Chu looked in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
"His highness forgot what the emperor said, the princess's past?" Li Mi said in a deep voice.
A gloomy look appeared on Li Chu's face, and he said with some displeasure: "I know that Yan'er used to have some friendship with 6 Yu. But since she married me, she must have been disappointed with him. Besides, she took the initiative to attract 6 Yu to take the bait and participated in the ambush in person. How could she not be from our side?"
"Your Highness is right!" Li Mi stared at Li Chu with his eyes burningly: "But the princess hatred for the 6th Prince is born out of love. If the princess really lost love for the 6th Prince in her heart, how could she have such a strong hatred?"
Li Chu was silent for a moment, then said with a dark face: "What I heard from Mr. I will never mention anything about designing great things in the future. But in the future, I don't want to hear people mention this matter anymore."
"It was natural then." Li Mi responded naturally.
"After that being said, what purpose did the sir go past his father and contact me directly?" As he said that, Li Chu's eyes flashed at Li Mi.
Li Mi's expression was still calm. He smiled and said, "Your Highness is suspicious of his subordinates, right?"
"That's right, since the princess can be suspected, why can't sir?" Li Chu said bluntly.
"Then I will give you a solid conclusion to Your Highness: In the current situation, all forces will one day fight to the death. The following officials' opinions, the aftermath of this battle may last for many years, so the officials want to keep a low profile during that period and wait for a more appropriate opportunity."
"Oh!" Li Chu suddenly realized: "No wonder your father wanted to be promoted to your official position several times, but you refused. It turned out that it was because of this! But you just made friends with me so blatantly, aren't you worried about your father's suspicion?"
Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness the Crown Prince seems honest and smart. My purpose will not affect him at all. How could he be suspicious? Besides——" As he said that, he sighed, "Your Highness is well versed in medical affairs. Your Highness the Crown Prince is innately deficient, and he is probably not a long-lived person. He himself knows very well. So, why did he think about what happened so many years later?"
"Yeah!" Li Chu nodded deeply: "I also heard that my father was almost strangled to his mother's womb before he was born. He had many menstrual changes when he was young, so his health was not very good."
"So, does Your Highness still doubt the officials now?" Li Mi looked at Li Chu with a smile.
"Since the words have been explained, how could I have doubts? I would like to ask you to help me with all my help in the future!" As he said that, Li Chu stood up and bowed to Li Mi.
"Your Highness is so serious." Li Mi stood up, held Li Chu's arm and helped him up, and said with a burning look: "The official must do his best in this matter, only success, no failure!"
The night is already deep, like the bright moon hanging high in the air, sprinkling bright light on the earth.
On the wall paved with square bricks, several torches were inserted on the battlements, burning silently, scattering orange light.
Here is Tongguan City, known as the "Gui Nei Jian" and the "Hundred and Two Passes". Nearly a month ago, Gao Lishi issued an order to kill 6 birds to the Bianxiu through a carrier pigeon.
At this time, the city wall was very deserted. If you don’t look at its height, it is no different from other pass cities in the Tang Dynasty.
The soldiers gathered in groups of three or three in the city tower, stumbled around the fire while whispering, without any warning.
But it’s no wonder that they are. After all, the Tang Dynasty has strong national strength and is powerful. Even if there is war, it is limited to the frontier. The peaceful days in the Central Plains have passed for decades. In this way, the soldiers guarding Tongguan naturally have no reason to be nervous.
They didn't even show up. Outside the city tower separated from them, someone was sitting there leaning against the wall, hiding his body in the shadow of the city wall, holding a wine pot and pouring wine into his mouth, sip after sip.
Beside him was a long sword half a foot wide lying, and the appearance alone made people feel its heaviness.
The ancient sword Juque is on the stage again!
