Chapter two hundred and ten
"Mo'er has been in contact with Wu Sansi, and now he is rashly going to contact Wu Yanxiu. I think he may not believe Wu Yanxiu's cunning."
"Besides, Mo'er is mostly active in the East Palace and basically doesn't go out. He asked her to deal with Wu Yanxiu. I'm afraid she will show off her skills, and she will break the plan."
"Your worries are all right, but Kutao is crazy now and can't meet Wu Yanxiu anymore. But according to normal habits, once I return to Chang'an with my father, he will definitely find an opportunity to meet Kutao. How can a madman go out to meet someone?"
"At that time, everything will be exposed, and he will no longer use Kutao's move."
"What Your Highness means is that in the future, will Kutao still be a target that can be used?"
"At least, before Wu Yanxiu made a move, Kutao is still useful."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything more, I'm determined."
After Yao Kui thought about it halfway, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
Li Jun called Acheng and asked him to summon Mo'er.
Since the little maid recognized Wu Sansi's true face, she has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge. Now that the opportunity has finally come, how can she not work hard?
After receiving the task, he hurried out.
I didn't take a carriage, but only walked to Daodefang.
Fortunately, Wu Yanxiu's residence is next to Wu Sansi's house, and she is familiar with the route. When she comes out, she must be careful to avoid the prince's people and not let them discover her behavior.
After seeing Mo'er off, Yao Kui also relaxed.
For some reason, the prince did not have an attack on the spot and questioned him.
He couldn't take much care of it. Anyway, this matter would definitely make both sides unhappy. If the prince didn't mention it, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb and continue to pretend to behave.
But such disguise will inevitably not last for too long.
Li Jun was still on fire here, but he just didn't want to ask Yao Kui for his crime.
Under the leadership of Li Jun, the two of them came to the side hall on the side of the courtyard, where Xue Qing and Acheng had been waiting for a long time.
The two walked and chatted, and Yao Kui was careful to avoid topics related to the unknown restaurant.
Under the clear moonlight, Li Jun smiled and said, "Yao Kui, when did you know about the Linzi King?"
Yao Kui paused, and what should come will come in the end.
He said miserably: "I heard about it later. At that time, I had introduced them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I couldn't say anything if I wanted to explain it."
"I'm in a difficult position, too!"
"Later, I felt better when I saw that they were assisting Your Highness and had indeed cut off their relationship with the King of Linzi. In fact, I always felt sorry for Your Highness in this matter, but I don't know where to start."
"It seems that you were deceived by them," Li Jun responded lightly. In fact, he couldn't understand Yao Kui's mood.
"It can't be considered a deception. Because of their identities after the crime, they have been living a difficult life. If they want to achieve something, they are unable to enter the official career due to their status."
"So, are you sympathizing with them?"
"It's not all," Yao Kui said frankly: "It's mainly because he is afraid that he can't explain to His Highness."
"Okay, now I know everything, you don't have to worry anymore."
"As far as you know, when did they come into contact with the King of Linzi?"
"The earliest, also after His Majesty ascended the throne."
Yao Kui couldn't guess how Li Jun knew about this, so he could only deal with it carefully.
He secretly blamed Wumingzi and others for their threats to block both ends and develop multiple lines, which made him difficult for him to work in front of the prince.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince knows that they were imprisoned because they offended the Martial Emperor. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, they did not dare to approach the imperial city at all."
"So, at the beginning, they were not interested in me, but the King of Linzi." Li Jun stared into his eyes and deliberately teased.
Yao Kui's face turned pale: "Your Highness doesn't know that this is not the case!"
Li Jun seemed to be willing to hear the details. Yao Kui wiped his sweat and continued: "For them, only by seeking over to the Li Tang royal family can there be a way out. Ministers in the court would not choose the Wei and Wu families, but the old ministers might not dare to provide them with shelter. After all, the old ministers had to live with His Majesty's face. Moreover, from the situation at that time, the old ministers were all at a disadvantage in the struggle with Wu Sansi, so how could they protect Wumingzi and the others?"
"So, choosing a young and promising Li Tang royal family is their goal. Your Highness also knows that in recent years, the King of Linzi has been very popular, and he is outstanding in terms of character and ability..." When he said this, he suddenly remembered that he was talking to the prince, how could he praise Linzi in front of him?
Li Jun smiled and said, "You are right. I also think that the King of Linzi is outstanding in his ability and is a talent who can be entrusted."
Although Li Jun had a good face and was not angry at all, Yao Kui didn't dare to continue the topic anymore.
He was dull and wanted to change the topic. Sometimes he looked at Li Jun's face and sometimes he looked at the road ahead. He didn't know when he would be able to reach the side hall.
Unfortunately, Li Jun will not let him carry out his next activity before he answered Li Jun's question.
This was also the price of his concealment at the beginning.
"How does the King of Linzi view this matter?"
"The King of Linzi seems to have reservations. According to Wumingzi, the King of Linzi does not seem to believe in outsiders very much. He should have his own connections and does not take the talented and strangers who have defected to him very much."
My own person?
I'm afraid it's Yao Chong and Song Jing. These people are experienced in the court and are loyal to Li Longji. With their support, Li Longji really doesn't need to take risks to develop other connections.
It seems that Li Jun is pitiful. He was delayed by Wu Chongxun and others in the early stage. He only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, and has not saved up a few useful talents.
When you want to rise up now, you have to start building up your network first and then seeking other things.
However, according to the current situation, the key is to let Li Xian live for a few more years and hold the throne so that Li Jun can have room for activity.
It seems that on the way back to Chang'an, he would contact Sun Fulu again, so that he would keep an eye on Li Xian's diet and daily life, and not let this confused father be plotted against by a traitor.
Those who achieve great things do not care about minor matters.
Since Li Longji has never joined forces with them, Li Jun doesn't plan to care about this matter anymore.
Although he deliberately slowed down his travel, the side hall still arrived.
Acheng warmly greeted him, and Xue Qing served hot tea.
Li Jun rubbed his palms, drank the tea to warm his stomach.
Acheng Xueqing worked together to bring a charcoal brazier and put it at the feet of the two.
Just as Ah Cheng was about to retreat aside, Li Jun shouted: "Come here too, and roast the fire together."
