Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 295 Li You returns to Chang'an and joins forces!

Du He has many friends.

Before Du Ruhui died, he had more friends.

But after Du Ruhui's death, many people took the initiative to keep a certain distance from him, which also allowed him to see the true nature of these people.

Most of the people who remain now are people recognized by Du He.

For example, Tang Jiashang.

"I didn't expect that Master Su would come with Brother Du."

"I wonder what Mr. Tang has to tell you?"

It wasn't the first time he and Tang Jiashang met, as they had been attracted to each other several times before.

But when they were drinking and chatting happily, Tang Jiashang came over to talk, which made Su Chen a little curious.

Tang Jiashang smiled, looked around, and said softly, "Young Master Su, be careful."

Su Chen was unmoved, "I wonder what Mr. Tang is referring to?"

Tang Jiashang: "In recent times, Mr. Su's cotton clothing workshop, brick kiln and other series of initiatives have earned enough publicity and money."

"No one wants to interfere with Mr. Su's business when things are going smoothly."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows. He had doubts about this.

Although Li You is not in Chang'an, Li Tai is still in Chang'an City. Apart from making a fuss when Jiang Wuyang's store opened, there has been no movement during this period of time, which is really puzzling.

Listening to Tang Jiashang's words today, it seemed that he knew something about the inside story.

"What does Mr. Tang mean?"

"Recently, many foreign envoys have been invited to visit."

Tang Jiashang smiled slightly.

As an official of the Honglu Temple, he naturally had some understanding of the whereabouts of these foreign envoys.

It is naturally not an easy task to hide it from him.

Su Chen thought thoughtfully, thinking that the person who invited these foreign envoys should be the King of Wei.

But what does it mean for the King of Wei to invite these envoys to be his guests?
Su Chen knocked his head and said with a smile: "Why are you telling me this, Mr. Tang?"

Tang Jiashang smiled and said, "Father followed His Majesty to Jiucheng Palace. I have to keep an eye on the movements in the Honglu Temple."

Su Chen looked at Tang Jiashang with some surprise. He was a smart man.

The fact that Tang Jian followed Li Shimin to Jiucheng Palace was enough to prove Tang Jian's attitude towards the crown prince.

Tang Jiashang is the son of Tang Jian, so even if he wants to take sides, he has to think twice.

and so.

The best way is not to take sides, or to stand in the East Palace's team.

No matter who is the crown prince, he will remind the other party.

In this way, you can be invincible.

"I heard that the King of Wei has been diligently compiling the Comprehensive Geography of the Land recently."

Tang Jiashang said casually, "Compiling a comprehensive geographical record requires a lot of information. If there is no information in Chang'an City, the envoys are naturally the best choice."

"Whether it is compiling the Comprehensive Geography or building an enlightenment school, it is a good thing for the people of our Tang Dynasty. What do you think, Mr. Su?"

"nature."

Su Chen smiled and nodded.

The so-called diligent compilation of the Comprehensive Geographical Records was just an excuse for Li Tai to invite those envoys.

Su Chen believed that King Wei must have other plans.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

"of course……"

Su Chen looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense. After whetting everyone's appetite, he finally said, "It's the beauty."

"Hahaha……"

"If we don't talk about beauties in Nishang Building, then we're going to talk about men?"

"That's not a bad idea."

"..."

……

The sun sets in the west.

After bidding farewell to Du He and others, Su Chen took Sun Qiang and walked leisurely towards the Prince's Residence.

Suddenly, a convoy came from a distance.

"Sir, it's the King of Qi and his men who are back."

Su Chen nodded and recognized the leader, Lu Chengqing, at a glance!

However, Lu Chengqing did not notice Su Chen and passed by with his convoy.

A carriage suddenly opened its curtain and looked towards Su Chen's position. Su Chen seemed to sense something and looked over.

Li You.

However, judging from his complexion, it seems that his injuries have not healed yet!

Li You stared at him expressionlessly until the car left before lowering the curtain.

"Sir, he seemed to be staring at you just now."

"OK."

Su Chen nodded.

During Li You's trip to Fan Yang, not only did he lose a lot of his men, but even Yan Hongxin, one of his right-hand men, was implicated.

It should have been a blow to him, but Su Chen just discovered that there was something wrong with the way he looked at him!

Maybe I'm worrying too much.

Su Chen shook his head. As soon as he returned to the Prince's Residence, Xue Li came to greet him.

"Son."

"Is something wrong?"

"Hedong sent a message that the King of Qi secretly summoned someone on his way back to Chang'an."

Xue Li said in a deep voice, "It's just that we haven't found out in detail who sent the person that the King of Qi summoned."

Su Chen rubbed his temples and said, "It's okay. What has Li Tai done recently?"

Xue Li: "The King of Wei has been compiling a comprehensive geographical record recently, and has not made any unusual moves."

So peaceful.

Su Chen exhaled a breath of alcohol and felt that Tang Jiashang's reminder came more and more immediately.

"Pay attention to the actions of the Prince of Wei's Mansion."

"Yes!"

...Prince Qi’s Palace.

Li You, supported by a maid, came to the study, where Yin Hongzhi and others were already waiting.

Seeing Li You walk in, everyone stood up.

"Your Majesty!"

"Go down."

Li You waved his hand, and the maid who was supporting him retreated and closed the door.

After the maid left, Yan Hongliang couldn't help but tear up and said, "My Lord, you have to make the decision for your brother!"

Yin Hongzhi said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Get up."

Li You raised his hand to interrupt Yin Hongzhi's scolding and said slowly, "He is right!"

Yin Hongzhi frowned and looked over, "Your Majesty, the matter of Yan Hongxin was His Majesty's intention..."

"This king understands!"

Li You said coldly: "If it weren't for Su Chen, how could Yan Hongxin die in Fanyang, and how could this king be seriously injured!?"

Hear the words.

Yin Hongzhi and the other two were stunned.

Su Chen?

What does this have to do with Su Chen?
"Your Majesty, do you mean that you were in trouble in Fanyang, and Su Chen was behind it?"

"good."

Li You said coldly, "To ensure safety, the King of Wei sent someone to see me on the way back to Chang'an."

Yin Hongzhi frowned, and Li You continued: "The King of Wei has already found out that those who conspired with the Lu family and were killed were all arranged by Su Chen."

hiss!
How is this possible?
Yin Hongzhi was shocked. "Has Su Chen's spies reached this level?"

Li You nodded slowly, "It is indeed hard to imagine."

"The King of Wei knows that the situation in the Eastern Palace is already determined. He knows that he is no match for the Crown Prince and hopes to join forces with me!"

Yin Hongzhi frowned, "Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly courting disaster!"

Li You said in a deep voice: "I am already a useless person now, why do I still care about my life?"

"Li Tai just wants to sit in that position. What's wrong with me helping him?"

"But your lord..."

"I want Su Chen to die, I want the prince to die!"

Li You stared at Yin Hongzhi with cold eyes. Yin Hongzhi opened his mouth and nodded helplessly.

Obviously.

This heavy blow was a huge blow to Li You.

He and Li You even directed their attacks directly at the Eastern Palace, and he no longer cared about the throne.

"Li Tai said that he already has definite evidence against the crown prince. As long as my father returns to Chang'an, there will be a storm, and the crown prince will definitely be deposed!"

Ok?
Yin Hongzhi: "Did the King of Wei really say that?"

Li You nodded, "In order to gain my trust, he did not hesitate to expose the true background of the prince."

"What details?"

Yan Hongliang said in a deep voice, "Can you really overthrow the crown prince?"

Li You: "Weapons!"

"The prince secretly hid weapons and was planning a rebellion?"

"It's more than just treason?"

Li You sneered, "This prince is far more unfathomable than we imagined!"

"According to Li Tai, the merchant protection team created by Su Chen is to assist the prince in accomplishing this task!"

"Remember the Chongrenfang explosion?"

"of course I remember."

That kind of earth-shattering power is really scary just thinking about it!
Yan Hongliang exclaimed: "Is that the weapon made by Su Chen?"

Li You nodded slowly, "In addition to this, when Su Chen first entered Chang'an City, he showed another weapon!"

besides?

At this moment, Yin Hongzhi and the other man felt their scalps tingling.

Su Chen actually has so many elite weapons in his hands, and has also built a merchant protection team!

"What weapon?"

"Li Tai didn't say this clearly."

Li You shook his head. "But, I guess its power is definitely not much inferior to that of explosives."

"If not for this, how could Su Chen have survived being surrounded by several people?"

"No wonder the King of Wei has been staying indoors lately..."

Yin Hongzhi couldn't help but feel a surge of turmoil in his heart.

On the surface, the King of Wei has been diligently compiling the Comprehensive Geography recently, but in fact, he has been investigating all the events since Su Chen entered Chang'an City.

This is to find out Su Chen’s weakness from the source and find their lifeline!
Now it seems that King Wei did not waste his energy during this period in vain, as he really found the secret on which Su Chen relied for survival!

"Your Majesty!"

Yan Hongliang suddenly spoke up, "The merchant escort team around Su Chen has already left Chang'an with Wang Xuance and gone to Persia. If we take action against him now, wouldn't it be..."

"No."

Li You and Yin Hongzhi shook their heads at the same time.

Yin Hongzhi: "Su Chen had shown weakness to the enemy before, and used this to lure out the remnants of the Lu family. It is conceivable that he must have a backup plan."

Li You nodded, "This is the first one, the second one is the prince!"

"As long as the prince is still in the East Palace, it will not be easy to kill Su Chen."

"Recently, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have been in close contact with the Crown Prince. In addition, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice have long been close to the Crown Prince. Now, among the six ministries, except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, the Crown Prince has already controlled four of them! This is the most terrifying thing!"

Yin Hongzhi sighed, "Your Highness, you have missed one part. The Minister of Rites, Kong Jijiu, is the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince."

"Although there were some conflicts before, in the two events of Lu's rebellion and the Enlightenment School, Kong Jijiu always remained neutral and did not care."

"When the time comes, the crown prince will want to ascend the throne, and Kong Jijiu will not remain neutral again."

After listening to Li You and Yin Hongzhi's words, Yan Hongliang's eyes dimmed, "Then don't we have any chance?"

"No, there is still a chance!"

Li You said coldly: "The battlefield over there in Persia is an opportunity!"
