Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Li Zhi didn't understand why Li Shimin did this suddenly.

Since the Liaodong War, Li Shimin has always favored him, how could he suddenly let Li Tai go to Sujiazhuang again.

Allowing the prince to go to Sujiazhuang means tacitly having a relationship with Su Yula.

This is not good for Li Zhi.

After changing into a military overcoat and hat, Li Zhi went out alone.

He didn't take anyone with him, but walked to Yongyangfang by himself.

The snow on the street has been swept away and it is not difficult to walk.

When we arrived at Yongyangfang, it was still lively.

In particular, hot pot restaurants are full of business, and the steaming hot pot is perfect in snowy weather.

Li Zhi went directly to the Star Picking Tower, the guards recognized Li Zhi and let him go up.

Enter the glass room on the top floor, this is Lao Chen's place.

Li Zhi didn't knock on the door, he knew Lao Chen very well.

Pushing the door open, I saw Lao Chen and Di Renjie eating hot pot.

A mandarin duck pot, a large plate of beef and mutton, and wine.

Seeing Li Zhi coming in, Old Chen laughed and said, "Prince Jin, why are you here?"

"It's better to come at a good time than to come at a good time. Sit down."

They were not polite to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took off his hat and hung his military coat on the rack.

"I am a person who has a good taste, so I guess you will have delicious food."

Li Zhi sat down with a smile, took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Take a piece of beef and rinse it, dip it in the sauce and eat it in your mouth, it is extra delicious.

"Why is Jin Wang here to eat hot pot when he is free today?"

Di Renjie asked with a smile.

Li Zhi usually studies and practices martial arts in the mansion, and usually doesn't go out when he has nothing to do.

He was worried that the prince's people would find his little pigtail.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "A workaholic like Mr. Di can come over to eat hot pot, why can't I come."

Di Renjie's dedication is well-known in the court.

Di Renjie said with a smile: "The case has been judged, and it's rare for me to take a break, so I came here to eat hot pot."

Old Chen smiled and said, "King Jin will not represent the emperor for a private visit on Weibo, so ask us to investigate."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "That's right, it was the father who asked me to come and check the post."

"When I return to the palace, I must report in detail how you left your post without permission."

The three of them laughed.

Old Chen said: "I'm in Yongyang Fang, so it's not considered AWOL, he counts."

Lao Chen pointed to Di Renjie and said.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Old Chen, you are not being righteous."

Picking up the cups, the three drank a cup.

Old Chen looked at the white Chang'an City, and remembered what happened more than ten years ago.

"It was also snowing so heavily at that time. The Empress and Dayun entered Sujiazhuang at that time, and we were arrested as thieves."

"And then there are a lot of things that are happening now."

Old Chen recalled with a smile.

Li Zhi said, "I've heard rumors that you were the one who arrested the queen mother at that time."

There are many versions of Su Yu's arrest of Empress Changsun in Chang'an City.

Old Chen smiled and said, "That's right, but I can't say arrest, please."

At that time, Lao Chen really respectfully invited her in.

The empress has an extraordinary appearance and a noble face, so Lao Chen didn't use violence.

Li Zhi drank a cup and sighed: "The people of Tang Dynasty would like to thank you. If you hadn't invited your mother into the Sujiazhuang and met your brother-in-law, how could the Tang Dynasty be so powerful today."

Li Zhi attributed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to Su Yu.

And if Lao Chen doesn't catch the queen, I'm afraid Su Yu is still in the state of Qianlong, and no one will know.

After all, Su Yu is a salted fish. If no one fishes him out to dry, he will probably sink underwater forever.

Old Chen said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the young master, it has nothing to do with me."

Old Chen is very self-aware, he has benefited from Su Yu's honor to become what he is today.

Seeing that Li Zhi was absent-minded, Di Renjie asked, "Prince Jin has something on his mind?"

Li Zhi forced a smile and said, "It is said that you observe meticulously, but you really can't escape your eyes."

"To tell you the truth, I came here today to ask for advice."

Seeing that Li Zhi suddenly became serious, Lao Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Zhi said: "I just heard that the father promised to let King Wei go to Sujiazhuang to study medicine with brother-in-law."

"You know, if you get close to your brother-in-law, you have the hope of becoming a prince."

Li Zhi said this because he had absolute trust in Lao Chen and Di Renjie.

Otherwise, such words must not be said.

"I don't understand why my father did this. Could it be that I did something wrong?"

Li Zhi asked.

He looked at Di Renjie, wanting an answer.

Apart from Su Yu, this is Datang's smartest brain.

Di Renjie took a sip of beer and said slowly, "Tell me carefully."

Li Zhi explained the cause and effect of the matter.

After listening to Lao Chen, he also felt very strange.

"Wei Wang and the young master have never had much contact with each other, and he doesn't seem to be the emperor's favorite candidate. Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"

"Xiaoying, what do you say?"

Old Chen said.

Di Renjie thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Prince Jin is worrying too much, this matter doesn't matter."

"As an emperor, the most important thing is to hold power in your own hands."

"Prince Jin and the son are too close, and all the ministers in the court think that you will succeed the crown prince, so many ministers attach themselves to you."

"The emperor didn't want the ministers to form cliques, so he sent King Wei to Sujiazhuang, so as to confuse the ministers and not know where the Sacred Heart is going."

"This is just a type of imperial technique, not a change in the Sacred Heart."

"You can just do your own thing and don't need to think about these things."

Di Renjie was very smart and immediately understood why.

After hearing this, Li Zhi thought it made sense.

After returning from Liaodong, Li Zhi often saw Su Yu in Yongyang Square, and the two got very close. Both the court and the central ministers reported that Su Yu supported Li Zhi.

They all expressed their willingness to support Li Zhi.

As the emperor, Li Shimin couldn't possibly be ignorant of these things.

Doing so can be regarded as restraining Li Zhi and appeasing Li Chengqian and other princes.

"You're still smart, and you've got it right."

Li Zhi admired.

After unraveling the doubts in his heart, Li Zhi felt that the stone in his heart was gone.

"Come on, let me toast you."

Li Zhi picked up the wine glass, and the three of them had a drink.

Old Chen smiled and said: "Don't think too much, the young master told me that you will be the emperor in the future, and you will not be wrong."

When Su Yu was chatting, he said that Li Zhi would be Tang Gaozong in the future, and Lao Chen remembered it.

When Di Renjie heard what Lao Chen had said about Lao Di, he yelled in his heart that something was wrong.

Su Yu didn't say anything about this matter publicly, why did Old Chen miss it.

Di Renjie stepped on Old Chen from below.

Lao Chen immediately shut up.

Li Zhi could understand it, and asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law really said that? Don't lie to me."

Old Chen smiled awkwardly, and said: "At that time... I drank with the young master, I don't remember too clearly."

Old Chen knew he was too quick to speak, so he shouldn't have said that.

Di Renjie drank and ate hot pot without talking.

Li Zhi knew it was inconvenient to say that, so he stopped asking.

Just know it in your heart.

"Come on, let's not get drunk today."

Li Zhi was in a good mood and poured wine for Lao Chen and Di Renjie himself.

This winter's snow, Li Zhi felt very good.
