It has always been Li Zhi's established strategy to suppress and control the forces of Empress Wu and put them in an absolutely safe position to influence and balance the situation.

In recent years, although Wu Meiniang has not been able to expand in the court, Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen, these people, on the other hand, have enhanced Wu Meiniang's strength.

Even so, Li Zhi didn't pay attention to these people at all before.

Why did you choose to do such a thing at this time, with the help of Li Yifu?

The answer is actually in Su Dawei.

Su Dawei, the governor of Xiongjin in the Tang Dynasty, returned to Chang'an with the great victory of Baekje, Goguryeo, and Wa.

And Su Dawei has a deep post-martial chromium mark on his body.

Such a person returning to the dynasty is enough to break the original balance of the court.

A small assassination case, with a few unknown little people, can achieve the goal of suppressing Su Dawei, Helan Minzhi, and Guo Xingzhen.

The one who suffered the most was naturally Empress Wu.

And the one who can only benefit is Emperor Li Zhi.

All of this was figured out by Su Da for himself.

And there is no evidence to prove it.

There are some things that others may never know the truth about except the people involved.

But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Su Dawei has already felt a sense of jealousy revealed from Li Zhi.

Meritorious service is not rewarded, it is a taboo for the lord.

This time Su Dawei came back, except for the knighted founding uncle under the fourth grade, and the honorary lieutenant of the light car, he did not get any real power.

This is obviously not enough for his contribution on the battlefield of Baekje.

Now, the problem is solved.

Su Dawei was reprimanded by Li Zhi and continued to be his bad handsome.

Nothing seems to have changed.

The strength of the Empress Wu has not been enhanced in any way.

This is the best result.

For Su Dawei, all this is not unacceptable.

After only a few days after returning to Chang'an, he was involved in the power whirlpool of Li Yifu, Helan Minzhi, Guo Xingzhen, Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.

He was more tired than any time he had been in Chang'an in the past.

In his heart, he would rather stay away from this whirlpool.

It's just that when Fang Cai came out of the hall, he saw Li Yifu's implicit smug face, and he couldn't hold back after all, and his words revealed ridicule.

Forget it, it doesn't matter what Li Yifu thinks, just ask for a thought.

Those words and emotions will be held in the heart, and people will be suffocated.

At least let Li Yifu understand that he Su Dawei is not easy to mess with.

I want to be a bitch again, and I want to set up an archway, how can there be such a good thing in this world.

Su Dawei walked out of Daming Palace and saw Gao Dahu and Li Bo waiting on the side of the road.

"Why are you here?"

Su Dawei asked in surprise.

Under the sun, the tall tiger, who has always been calm, has a gloomy face, and the fatigue of last night's interrogation and hard work is written on his face.

Li Bo, who was beside him, had a worried face.

"Siqing, what's the result?"

They all relied on Su Dawei's talent to gain a foothold in Chang'an, and if Su Dawei lost, they would also be implicated.

"It's a pass."

"That's good."

When Li Bo heard this, his face showed a look of relief.

This night was not only Su's great exhaustion.

Those of them who followed Su Dawei were also exhausted and had to bear internal and external pressure.

"By the way, Siqing, what is going on, can you tell us about it?"

The relationship between Li Bo and Su Dawei is more like Gu Zhikeqing, who can be regarded as a confidant, so there are some things he can ask.

Although Gao Dahu's attachment relationship is not so strong, he can also be regarded as Su Dawei's henchman, so he does not shy away from saying something.

Su Dawei smiled: "There is nothing left and right, if you want to know, I will talk about it." ”

After thinking about it, he didn't say Li Zhi first, but repeated his previous speculation.

"In this case, last night it was initially suspected that it was Helan Minzhi, and later it was found out that Guo Xingzhen might be to blame, but it was neither."

"Because Li Yifu is inside?" Li Bo asked.

Su Dawei said with some approval: "Li Lang is really smart. ”

"Yesterday, I heard that the stranger who set fire to the dentist's shop and summoned Li Yifu to mention to Helan Minzhi that you want to go back to Chang'an, I had some doubts in my heart, but I never figured out what his purpose was."

Li Bo muttered: "He and Siqing have no intersection before. ”

"Not before."

Su Dawei did not continue to talk about Li Yifu, but said: "Helan Minzhi has a motive to do it, but he is not stupid, he will not do meaningless things, that stranger was secretly bought by Guo Xingzhen, this is undoubtedly discussed." ”

"Yes."

"Li Yifu couldn't find any problems in this case, he just said some 'facts' between Guo Xingzhen and Helan Minzhi."

Su Da focused on the word facts.

"He has insight into people's hearts and has taken advantage of the contradiction between the two."

Li Bodao: "This reminds me of the incident of Wu Qi during the Warring States Period. ”

"Wu Qi who wrote "Wu Zi's Art of War"?"

"Yes."

Li Bo said: "In the fifteenth year of Zhou An's Wang Jijiao, Uncle Wei Xianggong was afraid of Wu Qi's threat to him, so he asked his advisers for advice.

The strategist said that this matter is easy, Wu Qi is indeed capable, but he thinks very highly of himself, he can't stand the grievances, and he is very easy to break.

So the strategist made a plan for the uncle.

Gongsun Acne first invited Wu to the mansion as a guest.

The wife of Gongsun Acne is a princess of Wei State.

Before the banquet, he deliberately showed that his wife was rude.

After that, Gongsun Acne went to tell the King of Wei again that Wu Qi was a sage, and he didn't know if he would stay in Wei for a long time.

The king of Wei then asked what to do.

Gongsun said that it was easy, and asked the king to marry the princess to Wu Qi.

If Wu Qi agreed, it meant that he had the intention to stay in Wei for a long time, and if he refused, it would be a question mark.

As a result, the king of Wei really gave marriage, but Wu Qi refused.

After refusing the marriage of King Wei, Wu Qi reacted.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt that Wei Wuhou had already moved to kill and fled to Chu overnight. ”

Li Bo said slowly: "Li Yifu's actions are quite similar to the taste of Gongsun acne pit Wu Qi back then.

I've been thinking that if Helan Minzhi made a move, there were so many strangers under him, and if he did, it would definitely be a thunderous killing, so that assassination should not have been done by him.

According to this reversal, only Guo Xingzhen is the most suspicious.

Now I know that it was Li Yifu who instigated behind his back.

And even if His Majesty knew, he couldn't find anything wrong.

This is to gain insight into the human heart and to exploit the human heart's own selfish desires.

More clever than Yangmou.

In Tan Daoji's thirty-six strategies, it is pointed out at the beginning: Yin is within the yang, not in the pair of yang, which is exactly what it says. ”

Gao Dahu was silent until this moment before he spoke: "Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen, as well as Li Yifu, they are all people from the Empress of Martial Arts, why is this so?" ”

Su Dawei shook his head: "The new and the old, a bowl of water is always difficult to balance, Guo Xingzhen and Helan Minzhi, as representatives of the old and new forces around the Empress Wu, are not harmonious in private, and it can even be said that water and fire are incompatible."

The key is in the prince. ”

Li Bo was thorough: "Guo Xingzhen and the prince are too close, which brings a great threat to Helan Min. ”

"That's how it should be."

Su Dawei nodded, this time, he was indeed used as a gun by Li Yifu, Guo Xingzhen and Helan Minzhi.

If you take a position and attack either side, it will lead to more serious consequences.

Buckle the pot on Helan Min's head, and there may be a gap with Wu Meiniang.

If you identify Guo Xingzhen, you may offend the prince.

And Li Yifu, he is Li Zhi's white glove, identifying him is crazy.

Gao Dahu couldn't help but say on the side: "No...... I said, what's the point of let's talk about this here. ”

"If you want to say it's meaningless, it still makes some sense."

Su Dawei said with a smile: "At least I understand the situation around Empress Wu, and I won't be a gunman for others in the future, and I will also count the money for others." ”

"Bah, with your mind, I don't believe in this Chang'an, who else can deceive you."

"Not necessarily."

Su Dawei smiled and didn't continue on the topic.

But he thought in his heart that there are more smart people in the world.

If you want to understand everything, perhaps the most important thing is not the brain, but the power.

"By the way, I'm going to be my bad handsome again, here in Ducha Temple, I'm still both."

"How so?"

"This is what Your Majesty meant......"

"Why?"

"Because Li Yifu is actually not a person from the Empress Wu, strictly speaking, he is actually a person from His Majesty."

"Huh?"

"In the hands of Empress Wu, he does not have any effective influence on the court, and the only people who are inclined to him are Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, not so much her people, but His Majesty's people, take refuge in Empress Wu, and take refuge in His Majesty, how do you say normal people will choose?"

"Everyone in the world said that they were the descendants of martial arts."

"It's just a trick, they are His Majesty's 'black gloves', some dirty work, they did it, and Empress Wu was infamous for it, and Empress Wu also understood this in her heart, but she would never refuse."

"This time, in fact, His Majesty has been wary of the power of Guo Xingzhen and Helan and others around Empress Wu that the power is expanding too fast, and he wants to make the two attack each other and damage his own strength, Li Yifu is just carrying out His Majesty's will."

"Is there any evidence for these?"

"No, it's all my guess, but what if there is evidence? Could it be that I can still sue Your Majesty? ”

Su Dawei shook his head and said: "I believe that my guess should be eight or nine or ten, so this kind of ending is already the best."

I took the mistakes down, Helan and Guo Xingzhen were punished, Li Yifu was reprimanded, and only His Majesty was on top.

Quietly, the wings around the Empress Wu were suppressed, and the balance between inside and outside continued to be maintained. ”

"Your Majesty is the real master."

"Don't talk about this, let's think about it, how to be my bad handsome......"

Su Dawei felt that what he said just now was actually a bit excessive.

In fact, you shouldn't say this in front of Li Bo and Gao Dahu.

But there is a bit of spirit in his chest, and he doesn't vomit or feel unhappy.

After all, he was a Tang general who was born and died on the battlefields of Baekje and Goguryeo.

During the battle, he held back his belly and wanted to give advice to Li Zhi and suggest something that was beneficial to the army.

Who knew that he didn't get a chance at all, but was inexplicably involved in this power game.

If it is said that it is uneven, there is indeed some unevenness in the chest.

If you are uneven, you will sing.

He hasn't cultivated yet, the state where the mind is like stopping water.

Even Master Xuanzang, who has been practicing penance all his life, still has things in his heart, not to mention him Su Dawei.

"What I just said is my Meng Lang's words, remember not to mention it in front of anyone."

"We all know this, God knows this, and we will never let anyone else know it again, Siqing rest assured."

Gao Dahu also patted his chest and said: "We are both prosperous and lossy, I will take care of this mouth." ”
