My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 164 God of Plague
Shangguan Jie was born into a good family and served as a palace official for many years. He was well aware of some of the hidden rules in the palace.

However, due to his official position, he could not see the situation at the higher level clearly.

Li Guangli was a lucky promotion. Thanks to Madam Li, the Li family was able to access the most top-level information. However, he lacked background and had only a superficial understanding of the common sense of officialdom.

Coincidentally not.

The two complement each other and it is beneficial for both of them to work together, which is why they were able to get closer so quickly.

at the moment.

The question that Shangguan Jie asked requires a clear assessment of the situation.

After the news of "the prince being crowned king" in the Xuanshi Hall spread, the people who were most concerned and nervous were not the civil and military officials, but the nobles in the palace.

A noble person related to the prince.

While on duty in the palace in the afternoon, the third prince found Shangguan Jie and said he wanted to fight him. But when the two were fighting, Liu Dan whispered:
"My mother said that she doesn't want me to be crowned as a king and sent away. Please help me. I will reward you handsomely in the future. But I want to be crowned as a king."

"If you don't help, I will reward you handsomely!"

Ok.

The young prince was young and inexperienced, so Shangguan Jie automatically ignored the second half of the sentence. As for the first half, Li Ji's "generous reward", to be honest, Shangguan Jie was a little moved.

Although Li Ji's own situation is not very good, she is still a noble lady, and she has the favors of a noble lady and the benefit of being on good terms with the prince.

It seems that I can agree to it.

The key point is that, from Shangguan Jie's point of view, this matter is easy to handle and the risk is not great. All he needs to do is find an opportunity to be alone with His Majesty and mention it a few words...

No need to say it directly, just hint at it.

If it can arouse your Majesty's love and care a little, and if you are soft-hearted, wouldn't you not have the heart to send the young prince to a remote country?
Shangguan Jie had a nice idea, but...

"I haven't heard of what Brother Shangguan just said about the prince being made a king!" On the opposite side, Li Guangli shook his head firmly.

He put down his wine cup and said seriously, "I can't give an opinion on this matter. As for the nobleman that Brother Shangguan mentioned, I don't know who he is."

"Don't tell me, I don't want to ask."

Li Guangli was now completely lying with his eyes open. Regarding the prince being made king, his second brother Li Yannian had already sent out information from the palace in the morning.

Now that you know the prince was crowned king, how can you not guess which noble person it was?
Madam Wang, the biological mother of the second prince, has passed away. The only person left who can make a promise to Shangguan Jie is the biological mother of the third prince - Li Ji of Changning Palace!

Shangguan Jie may not know.

He just thought that Li Ji's situation was not very good, but Li Guangli knew that the one in Changning Palace was not in a good situation at all. She was like a clay Buddha crossing the river and could not even save herself, so who could she make a promise to?
After entering the palace, Madam Li went to the Pepper Palace to inquire about the situation in the Changning Palace. After all, there was such a big black hole in the harem.

After staying in the harem for a long time, it’s hard not to notice it.

Wei Zifu was a kind queen. When the concubines asked about it, she, as the one in charge of the harem, just gave a suggestion:

"I have often heard that there is disorder in the palaces of the princes, and Your Majesty is not pleased."

These soft and gentle words sent a chill down Madam Li's spine. She knew, and Li Guangli knew too.

And then.

He looked at Shangguan Jie tonight as if he was looking at the god of plague!
You are a palace attendant, tall and strong, and you have received Li Ji's promise. Li Ji! Are you afraid that your life is too long?

So Li Guangli refused decisively. Shangguan Jie could sense it and his face changed immediately. He said nervously: "Brother Li..."

"Eh."

Li Guangli waved his hand to interrupt, "Brother Shangguan, there is no need to say more. Since you have come to the mansion today, you must think highly of me and I will definitely give you the advice you deserve."

"However, the conversation between the two of us after that can be regarded as just a slip of the tongue after drinking. I just said it casually and you just listened to it. How about it?" Seeing this scene.

How could Shangguan Jie not know that he had touched something dangerous? The other party was willing to remind him, so he quickly sat up straight and bowed solemnly: "Brother Li, please teach me!"

"I don't deserve it." Li Guangli said politely, and then said calmly: "From what Brother Shangguan said before, you want to participate in some palace affairs."

"I don't think it's appropriate."

"The affairs of the palace are the affairs of the royal family. How can we, as outsiders, interfere? If we are not careful, we will be doomed!"

Shangguan Jie licked his lips when he heard this, and Li Guangli said, "Besides, some things may seem to please Your Majesty, but they will definitely offend the Crown Prince!"

Besides, whether I can please His Majesty is still uncertain...

Li Guangli did not say the latter part of this sentence, just as he reminded Shangguan Jie but did not mention the most taboo Li Ji at all.

first.

Some things are too sensitive and Li Guangli dare not mention them.

Secondly, his relationship with Shangguan Jie was not to the point where they could talk about anything.

Li Guangli has said everything that can be said. If the other party still refuses to change his mind, there is nothing he can do.

However, Shangguan Jie was more aware of the current situation than he thought. As soon as the word "Crown Prince" fell, Shangguan Jie's eyes widened and he suddenly woke up, thinking:

‘Damn it! ’

"I've been going too smoothly lately, and I've been blinded by a series of good things!"

Yes, yes.

I would like to speak to Your Majesty. Even if no one knows about it when it happens, there is no guarantee that no one will know about it afterwards.

The people around your Majesty, such as Shang Shu Pushe Huo Guang and Shang Shu Ling Zhang Anshi, are all related to the Crown Prince's Palace. Who knows if there are any spies for the Crown Prince among the eunuchs in the palace?
Once the Crown Prince finds out that it was Shangguan Jie who instigated His Majesty, the Crown Prince will regard himself as a thorn in his side as long as the princes stay in Chang'an!

hiss!
At this moment, the color on Shangguan Jie's face quickly faded and he took a breath of cold air.

He knew his own capabilities very well. If he was hated by the prince, it would be wishful thinking to climb the career ladder, and it would even be a question whether he could survive!
Hu~
Shangguan Jie let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his temples, and hurriedly bowed to Li Guangli across from him and said, "Brother Li, your words woke me up from my dream. Thank you very much!"

See this.

A strange look flashed in Li Guangli's eyes, and his evaluation of Shangguan Jie slightly improved. He was able to make clear decisions and knew when to take risks and when to stop. He was still worthy of being a close friend...

"Brother Shangguan, there is no need to be like this. I just said some drunken words."

"Yes Yes."

Shangguan Jie responded repeatedly, raised his wine cup, and said sincerely: "I offer a toast to Brother Li, please!"

"please."

After finishing a glass of wine, Li Guangli looked at Shangguan Jie, who seemed to have survived a disaster, and smiled, "Brother Shangguan, don't worry too much. The promises of the nobles in the palace cannot be violated."

"But we can still try to take advantage of the kindness of a prince."

Ok?
Shangguan Jie showed doubts when he heard this. Before he could ask any questions, Li Guangli smiled meaningfully and said, "Oh, it's the royal family's affairs that we, as outsiders, cannot touch."

"If we want to interrupt, it has to be the royal family members..."

As soon as the word "royal relatives" came out, Shangguan Jie immediately thought of the princes from all over the country who were still in Chang'an. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.
