Chapter 51 Shadow

Looking at the sky covered with cloudy wind outside the window, He Zhiqiu felt that his heart was colder than the weather outside the room. So what could it be? Don’t say that there is no evidence to prove that Li Wufeng has a ill-thinking intention, so what if he has it? I’m afraid that Your Majesty would not believe it at all. How many ministers in the court are willing to offend him who is as strong as the top in this situation?

Thinking of this, He Zhiqiu suddenly had an idea in his mind and turned around, "Wenfu, where did you come from? Is there anyone else who knows?"

Lu Wenfu, who had been thinking about He Zhiqiu's words, saw that the military minister who had always been calm suddenly became a little anxious, and was a little surprised why he was interested in this issue. However, seeing an urgent look in his eyes, he immediately replied: "This news was obtained by my people from Luo Beiren under an accidental situation. It is said that Luo Beiren's opinions on reaching a compromise with Li Wufeng, but the faction that favors reaching a compromise currently has the upper hand. Some people disagree to say this matter on a specific occasion, but it seems that ordinary people do not know the specific content of the matter."

"So your news was not obtained from the Imperial Intelligence Department. It seems that many people don't know about this news." He Zhiqiu nodded, and his face became a little normal, but he became hesitant in his heart. He had already made up his mind and felt that he had taken measures that seemed a bit despicable. This was rare in his career as an official, but instead of thinking, he did this from the overall situation and for the benefit of the empire, so he became much more calm and made up his mind.

Lu Wenfu found that the frown of the military minister in front of him was sometimes stretched and sometimes squeezed, as if he was making an important decision. After several considerations, he seemed to finally make up his mind.

"Old He, you seem to have any countermeasures. Since you have it, let me tell me. We must not let Li Wufeng go. This guy's power has expanded too quickly and his ambitions have begun to be revealed. He should be restrained, otherwise the threat to the empire will be difficult to estimate in the future." Lu Wenfu's tone was still full of worries. Obviously, he did not think that He Zhiqiu's countermeasures would have a good effect. After all, Li Wufeng is on the rise and even His Majesty the Emperor admires him very much. It is not easy to find a way to restrain him immediately.

"Wenfu, think about it, who in the court is most dissatisfied with Li Wufeng's Runhong now?" He Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes and gently stroked the gray goat beard under his jaw.

Lu Wenfu's eyes flashed. He was also a first-rank official in the imperialist court who had been in trouble for a long time. He had always had good friends with He Zhiqiu. He knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string song. "Are you talking about Ning Yuanwang and Sidon? No, although they could speak in the court, they dare not stop what His Majesty the Emperor decided, so they could only pause the words ", but they looked at He Zhiqiu. Seeing the other party nodding slightly, they knew that they were right, and nodded thoughtfully.

He slowly turned his back and his voice became a little low: "You also know that I was the most disgusted with these cliques, but the situation is now severe, and Li Wufeng's ambition has to arouse our alertness. However, His Majesty the Emperor may not listen to these words at all, let alone someone blowing the pillow wind next to him, so we have to make this bad decision. Now, it is probably only his power that can make Li Wufeng have some concerns, and he will definitely not tolerate the power of Li Wufeng. As long as we cooperate with him in the court, I think that if Li Wufeng's power wants to overcome the Partridge Trap (point 1) is a delusion."

After silently analyzing He Zhiqiu's words, Lu Wenfu had to admit that this is the best solution at present. Although there are many subtle points in the middle, the general direction can only be like this. Although Ning Yuanwang and Xidun's party have a great influence in the court, on the one hand, Li Wufeng became a military and political governor of the Northwest County, the important position of Li Wufeng as a military and political governor was a fact. Secondly, they generally did not dare to rebel against the emperor's wishes, and on the thirdly, there was no conflict of fundamental interests with Li Wufeng, so they could not expect them to do anything. And that person is different. He has long looked at the Northwest for a long time, and Li Wufeng now seems to be very close to someone, which is something he can't tolerate. This contradiction is definitely not easy to resolve. It seems that He Zhiqiu's gaze is not a generalized and vicious one.

"Well, although there are still many places that you have to consider, I still agree with it. I just have to think carefully about the specific operation. Don't let Your Majesty think that we are supporting one party, that will be difficult to deal with. Also, although Ning Yuanwang and Sidon dare not disobey Your Majesty's opinions, they will definitely not want Li Wufeng to do this in their hearts. As long as we cooperate secretly, they will cause a lot of trouble for Li Wufeng." After a slight sigh, Lu Wenfu's voice also lowered, "I have been in vain for him in the past, but I didn't expect that he was ambition. It seems that it is hard to know the person and the face are hard to know! In the future, don't want to get the support of my internal affairs department, and we must also strengthen monitoring of the changes in the situation in the northwest."

"Although the Northwest County is vast and has a vast territory, a sparse population, poor economic foundation, and local forces are intricate. There is also the hot potato of Yinchuan Prefecture. Even if Li Wufeng has great skills, as long as we firmly tie him to the northwest, he will not want to make trouble. Wenfu, the opinion you just said is very important to strengthen the monitoring of the northwest. We not only need to strengthen the monitoring of the local northwest, but also to strengthen the monitoring of Li Wufeng's subordinate departments' activities, especially in the imperial capital. This is particularly important."

Lu Wenfu nodded understandingly, "I will arrange for someone to do it. I think he will have many activities in the imperial capital. Maybe we can seize any more opportunities."

But can He Zhiqiu and Lu Wenfu's ideas be implemented smoothly as they wished?

Note 1: Queqiao Pass is an extremely important pass between Bonan Prefecture and Longdong Prefecture. It is located in Longdong Prefecture and is the first pass on the important passage from the northwest to the Guanxi area and even the Central Plains.

Situ Tai, who was lying on the wide free-spirited chair on his back, has been quite annoyed recently. He closed his eyes silently, but the distracting things in his mind came one after another, and he could not calm down at all. Li Wufeng was always unexpected. He always kept his true feelings of being close and separated, but not only how could he get along with Lao Liu? Could it be that he didn't see who is more powerful? What is Situ Biao? He has no foundation and no arm help. How could Li Wufeng be with him? This made him puzzled.

"Your Highness, Mr. Leng is here." The attendant's words interrupted Situ Tai's contemplation, and waved his hand to signal the maid who was serving him to retreat, "Oh, please come in."

Leng Qian still looked like a man of ancient Jingbu. He walked into the room, bowed to Situ Tai and sat in a seat next to him, "Your Highness is here to come, but what's the important thing?"

Situ Tai had already straightened his body, "Oh, there was nothing important, I just felt bored and wanted to talk to the gentleman."

Leng Qian's eyes passed Situ Tai's face. Situ Tai seemed to be very worried. He knew his master too much. It should be said that Situ Tai was considered a shrewd master, but being too smart would seem a bit taboo. Moreover, he was too savvy. Although those who accomplish great things do not care about minorities, if they rely too much on these methods, it would be a disaster, not a blessing.

He knew what was worried about his master now, but he did not point it out. "Your Highness, you seem to have something to worry about."

"Oh, it's nothing. Maybe it's the weather. It's snowing and raining all day long, so it's really hard to make people feel better." Situ Tai casually said perfunctorily.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Your Highness should be happy. If you have a few more snows, the empire will be a good harvest next year." Leng Qian's mouth twitched slightly, and a smile appeared, which was fleeting.

"Well, this, yes, yes, this is indeed a good thing, but I'm stuck at home all day and can't go out, so I feel depressed." Situ Tai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly covered up.

"Oh, then your highness can hold a family dance and invite some friends to come and have fun. It can not only strengthen emotional connections, but also liven up the atmosphere."

Situ Tai hesitated for a moment, "Oh, I'm not in much mood to hold these dance parties now."

"Oh? Then it seems that your highness has encountered some trouble. If it were because of that Li Wufeng, then your highness would not have to be so worried." Leng Qian stopped going around the circle and went straight to the point. He knew that his master was already upset.

"Oh? I hope you can teach me." Situ Tai's eyes suddenly appeared, and his spirit was like an addict suddenly sucking enough tobacco leaves, and suddenly became alive.

"I secretly investigated the interaction between Li Wufeng and His Highness Six. According to the information we have, before Li Wufeng went to the northwest, the two of them had no relationship at all. It can be said that His Highness Six did not know Li Wufeng at all. During his tenure as the city guard in the northwest, Li Wufeng only returned to the imperial capital once and stayed for not long. I focused on his interactions during this period. He had only once contacted His Highness Six, even in the Zhaixing Tower in the imperial capital, which lasted only three or four hours. Moreover, during Li Wufeng's stay in the imperial capital, he had a wide range of interactions and had nothing special about His Highness Six." Leng Qian analyzed slowly.

"So is it possible that they will make a follow-up of their future relationship after that contact and finally form a "`````?" Situ Tai's heart had begun to calm down and asked this question.

"It shouldn't be. Who would be heartbroken when they first met? Li Wufeng is not a fool, and the situation at the Sixth Prince was not an outstanding person at that time. Later, they did not contact each other directly. Even if there were such a big event, the main characters on both sides had never met, and it would be impossible to make the decision just by relying on the people below." Leng Qian's words were unquestionable.

"Then why did Lao Liu support Li Wufeng at the court meeting and make him get such a big advantage?" Situ Tai still had questions in his mind.

"Your Highness, think about it carefully. Although Your Highness Six has the will to stand out, it can be said that there is no power at the moment. Changes in the situation in the northwest will not have much impact on him. Anyone who enters the northwest will not benefit him much. If you or several other Your Highness control, it will be harmful to him or not. To be honest, Li Wufeng was indeed the best candidate at that time. Your Highness Six strongly recommended Li Wufeng not only can win the appreciation of His Majesty, but also give the ministers in the court a refreshing feeling. The most important thing is to take this opportunity to win over Li Wufeng. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least Li Wufeng owes him a love, why not do it?" Leng Qian's words could be said to the point.

After rubbing the temples that were slightly swelling and painful, Situ Tai asked, "In your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

"Respond to changes with the same change. Li Wufeng will not hang himself on a tree. Even if he wants to hang himself, he will choose the thickest tree. The power of the Sixth Prince is too far away and not enough. I think he will contact us."

"But at the court meeting, I clearly expressed my opposition to his position as the military and political governor of Northwest County. Will he hold a grudge against us for this?"

After interrupting Situ Tai's words, Leng Qian shook his head: "Absolutely, the situation of anything changes anytime and anywhere, and his attitude towards it will change accordingly. Friends and enemies are not eternal. I believe Li Wufeng should know this better than us. If he can't even do this, I think he will not be worried."
