Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 312 Fish out the person behind the scenes?

Chapter 312 Fishing out the person behind the scenes?

Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

Did he make a mistake in judgment?
In fact, the emperor doesn’t have that much trust in King Youzhou?
Is the emperor suspicious of King Youzhou now?

So he also suspected the Changsun family?
Changsun Wuji was about to say something subconsciously, but his eyes touched Li Shimin's eyes, and he swallowed back what he was about to say.

He decided to gamble again!
Changsun Wuji lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, my unfilial eldest son has sent me several letters, saying that he had met the King of Youzhou in Youzhou."

"The king of Youzhou lives in seclusion in Youzhou. Apart from helping revive the local economy, he has almost no contact with the local families. Those local powerful families have some opinions on the king of Youzhou, and even sent people to burn the granary..."

When he said this, he paused, and found that he was not stopped, so he knew that he had made the right bet this time.

Changsun Wuji continued: "Your Majesty, the King of Youzhou has no disobedience towards you and the Tang Dynasty. If he had, he would not offer cement, gunpowder, waterwheels, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other fetishes. Give it to the court, and ask the emperor to check it out."

Li Shimin sat there, listening quietly.

It wasn't until Changsun Wuji finished speaking that he said: "Wuji, in the morning tomorrow, if someone criticizes King Youzhou, you must remember what you just said."

This is to remind Zhangsun Wuji, when the time comes, you will remember what you will say and say it again in the court.

Of course Li Shimin himself can say it, but Changsun Wuji's words are more effective.

After all, everyone knows that Changsun Wuji once had a grudge against King Youzhou!
And the hatred is not shallow!

The King of Youzhou ruined the futures of Changsun Wuji's two sons and took away most of the money Changsun Wuji had accumulated over half his life. This hatred was as deep as the sea.

So they never expected that Changsun Wuji would swallow this hatred and digest it himself for the sake of his eldest son's future future!

Changsun Wuji knew what the emperor meant without even thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, do you want to... catch the person behind the scenes?"

Li Shimin said with a sneer: "I want to see who is so bold."

It's also because he seldom used a knife these years, so those people mistakenly think that he is soft-hearted and won't kill people!

When he was young, he led the veterans of the Tang Dynasty to fight the country immediately!
Most of the Tang Dynasty's lands and mountains were brought down by him in those years!
He is not his father, he is really soft-hearted, but he is really good-looking!

He just didn't want the power in the court to be wasted in unnecessary fights, so most of the time, he was trying to achieve the optimal solution and maximize his benefits.

As long as he can maximize the benefits, even if he suffers a little loss on the surface, he will admit it.

But this is all for Datang!

For his Li family's country!

Also for himself!
Now someone has sent assassins to intercept the assassination, even if the real purpose is to entrap the king of Youzhou and the Qin family!
But this obviously touched Li Shimin's rebellious scales!

Even though Li Shimin was originally a good-tempered person, he was about to get angry.What's more, he is not a good-tempered master!Naturally, this thunderous fury must be washed away with the blood of those people!
Li Shimin, who was thinking this way, already showed murderous intent.

Changsun Wuji faced Li Shimin's outburst of murderous intent, and when he left the hall, his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw a palace man hurriedly approaching and stopped him.

"My lord, the empress is here to invite you."

Avalokitesvara servant?
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then he knew why his sister wanted to see him.

He smiled wryly. It seems that even his younger sister thought he did this, in order to plant the blame on King Youzhou, right?It can be seen from this that in the eyes of outsiders, how deep is the hatred between him and King Youzhou!
He nodded, thinking something in his mind but not showing it on his face, and said, "Lead the way."

When they arrived at Queen Changsun's palace, as soon as Queen Changsun saw her brother coming in, she asked people to leave. There were only two brothers and sisters in this side hall.

Empress Changsun asked uneasily: "Brother, did you do that?"

"You mean to send someone to assassinate the emperor and throw dirty water on King Youzhou? Sister, why do you think I'm stupid enough to do such a thing?"

Changsun Wuji said helplessly.

"Furthermore, Chong'er is in Youzhou now. You should have heard Li Zhi mention this, right? How do you know how I treat Chong'er? Although I have more than a dozen sons, the one I like and value the most is He is the eldest son."

"A dozen sons together are not as important to me as Chong'er alone."

"Since I let him go to Youzhou, how could he do such a thing and form a deep hatred with the king of Youzhou?"

Hearing what her brother said, Queen Changsun breathed a sigh of relief.

She is not stupid, she is also very smart, and she can read words and expressions, so she can naturally see that her brother is very sincere when he says these words.

Regardless of why my brother gave up and continued to fight with Youzhou King, whether he wants to turn his fight with Youzhou King into friendship in the future, at least the assassination of the emperor was not done by his brother, so Empress Changsun can rest assured.

"It's fine if it's not my brother." She sighed, "My brother must also be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and don't act recklessly, otherwise, the collapse of the family will only happen in an instant."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Why didn't Changsun Wuji know this?
He was blinded by lard before, but when he realized how arrogant the families of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes were, and how even he, the Taiwei, dared to look down upon him, he realized that the people without the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes would be exterminated. Not far away.

No emperor would tolerate the existence of such a group of people. If these people can be honest, they will not be in great trouble.

But they are extremely arrogant, he is a captain, even the emperor would not despise him so much, but he is very low in their eyes and can be teased at will.

How much respect can such a group of people treat the emperor?
It's nothing more than the fact that the situation is stronger than people, so he is currently enduring humiliation and being a courtier.

With such an attitude, such self-reliance and humiliation, how could there be any good fruit in Li Shimin's eyes?
And this also alerted Changsun Wuji.

It was also at that time that he realized that if a person stands blindly at a high place and does not look down, he will easily reach the edge of the cliff.

He didn't want to bring his eldest grandson's family to die together, so he kept a low profile.

He also saw that King Youzhou was not ambitious, at least not for the throne.

That's why he sent the eldest son to Youzhou, in order to let the eldest son and the king of Youzhou turn the fight into a jade silk, and this has now been achieved!
He had received a letter from his eldest son before, and when he saw what his eldest son said in the letter, he was not only excited but also regretful.

If I realized earlier what I had done wrong and taken the wrong path, wouldn’t a dozen sons be able to become talents?
