"What happened before Li Yin?"

The man was obviously caught off guard, but under Li Zhi's eyes, he still said obediently:

"To be honest, we didn't expect the king of Shu to come out of Beijing at that time."

"Oh?" Li Zhi was puzzled, looking at him with disbelief in his eyes, the man naturally knew it, and then explained:
"We thought it was just Taizong's test of the King of Shu, so we didn't have the guts to cause trouble."

"After all, the power in the Ganlong area was in the hands of Changsun Wu, so it's not our turn."

Li Zhi nodded, agreeing in his heart, this is also true.

The headquarters of their northwest family was in the Ganlong area, and at that time the power in the Ganlong area was in the hands of one person, so the emperor was naturally worried, so he would keep an eye on everything.

"Go on..." Li Zhi gestured.

The man nodded and continued:
"Because Emperor Taizong paid too much attention to the Ganlong area, we dare not take any action."

"It was only later that God gave us an opportunity."

"Oh? What is the opportunity?"

The man looked a little nostalgic, but also a little crazy, "That was an opportunity to expand our ambitions, enough to make us make a big mistake!"

"At that time, Emperor Taizong demoted the king of Shu to a commoner, and we didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, we are not the ones who can be contaminated."

"It's just that later, the eldest grandson Wuji, who held the power in the Ganlong area, was too arrogant and was retaliated against. The target of revenge was his son, so the civil strife in the court followed, as well as the Black Dragon Army commander and the eldest grandson. Unbridled confrontation."

"We, trembling in the corner, can only watch. Our incomparable desire also has such great power, but we only have money but no power. This is something we cannot allow."

"After Changsun Wuji was defeated later, our opportunity came, so we will secretly make a second move, the King of Shu who was rescued by us, can make a name for himself."

Li Zhi frowned and interrupted him, "Wait, didn't you say that you dare not touch him, why did your next behavior contradict him?"

"It's natural, we naturally dare not contact him in public." The man said:

"But we let some affiliated forces help in secret, and it's not considered a use. Besides, even if they were found out, they would not be able to find us. They are all clean."

"And!" The man was startled again, and said with a smile:

"At that time, someone dared to assassinate the king of Shu, which shocked us."

"From then on, we understood that Emperor Taizong didn't want to train the King of Shu, but really gave up on him."

"It just so happened that the power in the Ganlong area fell, so our opportunity came. If we didn't seize the opportunity at that time, then we really would have no chance in the future."

After a pause, he continued:
"Later, we intentionally cultivated the King of Shu, constantly magnified his hatred for other brothers, and created opportunities for him to deal with you."

"It turned out to be really useful!"

"So, on the surface, we have an extra speaker, and he is still a member of the royal family. It is better for us to have room to operate behind the scenes."

Li Zhi took the conversation and thought about it:
"So after that, you obeyed Emperor Taizong on the surface, and then continued to embezzle the power of the Ganlong region secretly, and even cultivated a puppet like Li Yin?"

"That's right!" The man nodded, "Your Majesty's guess is almost inseparable, but I didn't expect that puppet to have such a great effect later, and even made several His Highnesses turn against each other."

"Especially that king of Chu, who has always been stupider than a puppet. Li Yin reacted after being confused at the beginning, so when he was against you, he was also against us."

"But at that time we had already grown up and had already taken root in the Ganlong area. It was far beyond what he, a puppet, could handle."

After such a connection, Li Zhi also understood that all this was caused by the Northwest family, and he never expected such an ending anyway.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cry. At the beginning, his father wanted to maintain the balance of the Ganlong region, but he ended up like this. The Ganlong region was still taken by their northwest family.

But, suddenly, Li Zhi had doubts again.

"How did you bring the power of the Ganlong region under your command?"

He couldn't figure this out very clearly, who was Taizong, and what others could deal with could be dealt with.

In fact, Li Shimin was very suspicious in the late stage. He was worried that something similar to the Xuanwu Gate would happen to his descendants. That's why he valued power so much in order to cultivate a good successor in the late stage.

In the end, he did not expect that Li Zhi, who ascended to the throne with the help of the Black Dragon Army coach Chen Qiao, picked the peaches.

The man was bitter and said:
"At the beginning, we naturally didn't dare to be greedy for power, but do you know, Your Majesty?"

"Our northwest family is not one family but a collection of several families. For example, the Liu family is good at salt and iron, the Ma family is good at population, and the Zhu family is good at..."

Listening to his list of items, Li Zhi's complexion did not change badly, only worsened. It turned out that they were involved in taboos such as salt, iron and population, and there were more dirty transactions besides. Even charges of treason were covered.

Sighing, Li Zhi was silent, he was thinking about how to deal with the charges, after all they violated too many laws of Tang Dynasty.

After entanglement and entanglement, he was relieved, anyway, it was a capital offense, and he would write a letter to the Black Dragon Army later, believing that his nephew Brother Han knew how to deal with it.

"Are you finished?"

"Yes!" said the man:
"Almost finished, we have paralyzed Taizong with this attitude of pretending to confront each other. After all, Taizong in the late period has decayed, and it is time for us to rise."

After speaking frantically, the man said dejectedly:

"It's just that I didn't expect that it would be the Black Dragon Army that ruined our affairs in the end!"

Li Zhi was silent. Indeed, if there was no Black Dragon Army, he would have died long ago.

Even if he is alive, he is just an idle prince, and he has no chance to be the Ninth Five Lord. Thinking of this, he feels lucky.

At this time, in the Taiji Hall, one was bitter and desperate, and the other was grateful and full of hope. There was a sharp contrast between the two.

Finally, the man turned his head and said to Li Zhi:

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows he deserves to die, and he doesn't expect His Majesty to exonerate the guilty minister from the crime. I just ask the emperor not to implicate the criminal minister's family for the sake of the guilty minister's final confession!"
