Li Zhi's established strategy to suppress and control the forces of the Empress Wu, put them in an absolutely safe position, and to balance the situation with both sides and balance.

Although Wu Meiniang has not been able to expand in the court in recent years, Helan Minzhi, Guo Xingzhen, and other people have strengthened Wu Meiniang's strength on the other hand.

Even so, Li Zhi didn't take these people seriously before.

Why did you choose to do such a thing by borrowing the hands of Li Yifu at this time?

The answer is actually Su Dawei.

Su Dawei, the governor of Xiongjin of the Tang Dynasty, returned to Chang'an with the victory of pacifying Baekje, Goguryeo, and Japan.

Su Dawei had a profound chrome seal on Queen Wu.

Such a person returning to the court is enough to break the original balance of the court.

A small assassination case, using a few unknown little people, can achieve the goal of suppressing Su Dawei, Helan Minzhi, and Guo Xingzhen.

The one who suffered the most was naturally Empress Wu.

The only one who benefits is Emperor Li Zhi.

All of this was thought out by Su Dawei himself.

There is no evidence to prove it.

Some things may never be able to know the truth except those involved.

But this doesn't matter.

What’s important is that Su Dawei already felt the feeling of fear that was exposed from Li Zhi.

If you don’t reward your achievements, it is a taboo for the lord.

This time when Su Dawei returned, he did not get any real power except for the founding founding prince who was under the fourth rank and the award-winning commander of the light chariot.

This is obviously not enough for his contribution to the Baekje battlefield.

Now, the problem is solved.

Su Dawei was scolded by Li Zhi and continued to be his bad coach.

Everything seems to have changed.

The strength of the Martial Arts Empress has not been enhanced at all.

This is the best result.

For Su Dawei, all this is not unacceptable.

After returning to Chang'an for a few days, he was involved in the power whirlpool of Li Yi's mansion, Helan Minzhi, Guo Xingzhen, Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.

It is even more tired than any time he was in Chang'an in the past.

In his heart, he would rather stay away from this vortex.

However, when I left the hall just now, I couldn't help but see the implicit smug face of Li Yi Mansion, and my words were ridiculed.

Forget it, no matter how Li Yifu thinks, he only wants to understand his thoughts.

Only by keeping those words and emotions in my heart can you get sick.

At least let Li Yifu understand that Su Dawei is not easy to mess with.

I want to be a bitch and have to set up a archway. How can such a good thing happen in the world?

Su Dawei walked out of the Daming Palace and saw Gao Dahu and Li Bo waiting next to the road.

"Why are you here?"

Su Dawei asked in surprise.

In the sunshine, the tall tiger, who had always been calm, had a dark face. The interrogation and hard work and fatigue of the night were written on his face.

Li Bo, who was beside him, had a worried look on his face.

"Shi Gong, what's the result?"

They all rely on Su Dawei to gain a foothold in Chang'an. If Su Dawei makes mistakes, they will also be implicated.

"It's considered passing."

"That's good."

When Li Bo heard this, he looked relieved on his face.

This night, not only Su Dawei was exhausted.

Those who follow Su Dawei are also exhausted and have to bear internal and external pressure.

"By the way, Shigong, what's going on? Can you tell us?"

The relationship between Li Bo and Su Dawei is more like a guest official in ancient times, and he is considered a confidant, so he can ask some questions.

Although Gao Dahu's dependence relationship is not that strong, he can also be regarded as Su Dawei's gangster, so he does not shy away from some words.

Su Dawei smiled and said, "There is nothing to do with you. If you want to know, I will talk about it."

After thinking about it, he did not talk about Li Zhi first, but instead said his previous speculation.

"This case was initially suspected to be Helan Minzhi last night, but later it was found out that it might be Guo Xingzhen's fault, but it was not actually."

"Because Li Yi's Mansion is inside?" Li Bo asked.

Su Dawei said with some approval: "Li Lang is indeed smart."

"I heard the strange man who set fire to the dentist shop yesterday and recruited Li Yifu and mentioned to Helan Minzhi that you were going back to Chang'an. I was suspicious in my heart, but I didn't understand what his purpose was."

Li Bo pondered: "He had no intersection with the temple minister before."

“Not before.”

Su Dawei did not continue to talk about Li Yifu, but said: "Helan Minzhi has a motive to do something, but he is not stupid and will not do meaningless things. The strange man was secretly bribed by Guo Xingzhen. There is no doubt about this."

"yes."

"Li Yifu can't find any problem in this case. He just told some 'facts' between Guo Xingzhen and Helanmin."

Su Dawei focused on the word "fact".

"He is aware of people's hearts and takes advantage of the contradiction between the two."

Li Bo said: "This reminds me of the incident of Wu Qi during the Warring States Period."

"Wu Qi, who wrote "The Art of War in Wu Zi"?"

"yes."

Li Bo said: "In the fifteenth year of King An of Zhou, Wei Xianggong Shuzhu was afraid of Wu Qi's threat to him, so he asked his advisers for advice.

The strategist said that this matter was easy. Wu Qi was indeed capable, but he had a high opinion of himself and could not stand the grievances. It was easy to break the toughness.

So the strategist made a plan for Gongshu Zhuo.

Gongsun Zhuo first invited Wu Qi to visit the mansion.

Gongsun Zhuo’s wife is a princess in the Wei State.

Before the seat, he deliberately showed his wife's arrogant and rudeness.

After that, Gongsun Zhuo went to tell the King of Wei again that Wu Qi was a wise man and I wonder if he would stay in Wei for a long time.

The King of Wei then asked what to do.

Gongsun Zhuo said this was easy, so he asked the king to marry the princess to Wu Qi.

If Wu Qi agreed, it would be willing to stay in Wei for a long time. If he refused, he would have to put a question mark.

As a result, the King of Wei gave him a marriage, but Wu Qi refused.

After refusing the King of Wei to give him marriage, Wu Qi realized.

The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid. He felt that Wei Wuhou had already become murderous and fled to Chu State overnight."

Li Bo said slowly: "Li Yifu's actions this time have a lot of the smell of Gongsun Zhuo's harm to Wu Qi back then.

I kept thinking that if Helan Minzhi took action, there would be so many strangers under him. If he did, it would be a thunderous killing game, so that assassination was not done by him.

If you refer to this, only Guo Xingzhen is the most suspicious.

Now I know that it was Li Yifu who was instigating him behind his back.

And even if His Majesty knows, he can't find any mistakes.

This is to understand people's hearts and use people's hearts to their own selfish desires.

More clever than open plot.

Among Tan Daoji's thirty-six strategies, the beginning of the article points out: Yin is within Yang, not the opposite of Yang, which is exactly this."

Gao Dahu remained silent until now, and said, "Helan Minzhi, Guo Xingzhen, and Li Yi's Mansion, they are all from Empress Wu, why is this so?"

Su Dawei shook his head: "The new and old people are always difficult to settle a bowl of water. Guo Xingzhen and Helan Minzhi, as representatives of the two major forces of the new and old forces around Empress Wu, are not harmonious in private, and can even be said to be incompatible with water and fire.

The key lies in the prince.”
