Chapter 40: Malice

"In the last case, I thought about it for a long time, and then I realized that it was not someone who wanted to kill me, but my existence, which destroyed a tacit understanding of a certain balance."

"Balance?"

Li Bo chewed on the word.

"Today, I have watched since I ascended the throne, I have begun to be overtaken by my eldest grandson, and I have regained power step by step, and many things have ......"

Su Dawei pondered the words for a while, and said in an affirmative tone: "Everyone else underestimated Your Majesty. ”

Many things were not clear at the time, but Su Dawei, as a first-hand witness, could figure out some things in retrospect.

Over the years, even if he is a novice in politics, he has gradually gained a bit of spirituality.

Take the simplest thing as an example, in Chang'an back then, whether it was the aliens of Goguryeo, or the Japanese people, the spies of Baekje, the countries of the Western Regions and even the Turks, it seemed that the enemies of the whole world were gathered in Chang'an, and they were all secretly peeping.

And the Tang Emperor Li Zhi seemed to be unaware.

What about the aliens of Datang?

Taishi Bureau?

It was as if he was dead.

It wasn't until Su Dawei made a statement to Li Zhi and established the Ducha Temple, that Li Chunfeng re-made an alliance with the lord of 100,000 weird things, the Glowing Star Monarch.

The environment in Chang'an has stabilized.

Those foreign spies worked carefully, so that they could not continue to run rampant.

In the past, Su Dawei thought that it was the credit of himself and Ducha Temple.

But in recent years, he has felt more and more ......

The Tang Dynasty, which was full of leaks and was easily infiltrated by outsiders and spies, was afraid that Li Zhi did it intentionally.

The so-called can but show what cannot.

At that time, Li Zhi was struggling under the huge pressure of the eldest grandson Wuji.

The only thing that is completely under Li Zhi's control is an alien organization like the Taishi Bureau.

According to Su Dawei's understanding of Li Chunfeng and the Taishi Bureau, they are fully capable of expelling those aliens from outside and purging the enemies who infiltrated Chang'an with evil intentions.

But it didn't turn out to be that way.

Now that I think about it, there is only one reason, that is, to create trouble for the eldest grandson Wuji and increase the unease for the Tang Dynasty under the control of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Only by muddying the waters can Li Zhi have a chance to regain the power that belongs to him.

To allow external forces to infiltrate is to use this force to achieve a certain goal.

All this, although it was just Su Dawei's brain supplement afterwards.

But he believes that the truth is already eight or nine years away.

Looking at it now, when were those fine works and lurking aliens in Chang'an cleared?

Judging from the timeline, it is basically after Li Zhi personally took power, especially with the eldest grandson Wuji completely losing power and being deprived of his post and demoted, which is a watershed.

Today's Chang'an, commerce and trade are prosperous, and all countries are coming to court.

Have you ever heard of any Turkic wolf guards, and what half-demons are weird and weird?

Li Zhi's forbearance.

Li Zhi's plan is very human.

This is a male lord who has truly inherited the genes of Taizong Li Shimin.

His sensitivity and grasp of power is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Li Ke tried to get his hands on that position, so Li Zhi borrowed the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji to remove it.

The eldest grandson Wuji tried to seize power, and then the eldest grandson Wuji completely lost power and was purged from the court.

Of course, Li Zhi also borrowed Wu Meiniang as his white gloves, pushed Wu Mei to the front of the stage, and did something that was inconvenient for him to do.

Originally, the balance between the inner and outer dynasties was handled like a work of art by Li Zhi.

But Su Dawei's return broke all this.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Zhi must not want Su Dawei to return to Chang'an and disturb the pond.

But he had to urgently summon Su Dawei back.

With Su Dawei tossing outside, if in a few years, he will conquer the Wa Islands, stabilize the Baekje Xiongjin Governor's Office, and help Li Tao break through Goguryeo's exploits, I am afraid that he will really become a tail.

According to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, generals who have made military achievements abroad must be transferred back to Chang'an in time, and they should be ordered to guard the place.

If there is a war, he will be transferred from Chang'an to another place for appointment.

Eliminate all possibilities that can make generals sit in the place.

So Li Zhi had to transfer Su Dawei back.

Su Dawei must also be transferred back.

However, in this way, it will lead to a series of subsequent problems.

First of all, Wu Meiniang, who has been secretly suppressed by Li Zhi, finally has an actual force in her hands, a threatening force.

Before Wu Mei's hands belonged to the forces in the court, the only two were Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu.

Even if these two people are more loyal to Li Zhi or Wu Meiniang, it is self-evident.

Therefore, Wu Meiniang is actually incapable of going to the court.

But when Su Dawei came back, it was different.

With his merits, real power must be granted.

And Su Dawei's loyalty to Wu Meiniang is beyond doubt.

This time, Li Zhi's painstaking efforts to suppress Wu Meiniang were all broken.

"Put yourself in your shoes, if I were Your Majesty, I would definitely find a way to suppress it and not let this possibility rise."

"So, you mean that Princess Gaoyang's affairs are also ......?"

"I didn't say that."

Su Dawei shook his head, "I haven't seen this case clearly, but it stands to reason that Your Majesty will press me back to the position of a bad handsome, it is enough, there is no need to do such a thing again, not to mention that in terms of time, the recall of Princess Gaoyang from Bazhou is also before me, Your Majesty should not count the later things." ”

After a pause, Su Dawei said: "But I have to guard against it, even if this case is not used by His Majesty to clean me up, but once it is settled, His Majesty will not take advantage of the topic." ”

After all, as long as Su Dawei exists, it will be a hidden threat to the balance of the imperial court power structure designed by Li Zhi.

It is easiest to get rid of him.

For an emperor, it's just a gesture.

The tall tiger frowned and pondered on the side.

He vaguely sensed some kind of danger, but he didn't understand the joint for a while, so he didn't dare to speak easily.

Li Bo squirmed in his Adam's apple: "Has the matter really come to this point?" ”

"Maybe not, but I can't help but plan ahead."

Li Zhi is both useful and defensive against Wu Meiniang.

As long as the relationship between the two does not reach the day of the table, then Li Zhi will not really use such a cruel means to cut off Wu Meiniang's wings.

However, Li Zhi didn't think so, it doesn't mean that the people around him don't think so either.

For example, Li Yifu.

Su Dawei has seen more than one time from him, a glimpse of deep malice towards himself.

In addition to Li Yifu, beside Wu Mei, Helan Minzhi and Guo Xingzhen, who one of them didn't have malicious intentions towards him?

Su Dawei can only use "not being jealous of others is a talent" to make fun of himself.

But in my heart, how can there be no depression?

"Ami, what do you want to do?"

Gao Dahu said slowly: "No matter what you do, my eldest brother and I will support you." ”

Li Bo also nodded and said: "We are a relationship of both prosperity and loss, what do we need to do?" ”

"You don't have to be so nervous, I'm just guessing, and the truth may not be so serious."

Su Dawei tapped his finger twice on the table: "At the moment, first of all, we must ensure that there are no mistakes or omissions, and we can't leave any handle for others, even Your Majesty can't punish me without guilt."

In addition, some people want to secretly trap me, how can I, Su Dawei, be slaughtered by others?

If necessary, it must also be returned with color. ”

"Ami, what are you talking about?"

As soon as Gao Dahu spoke, he heard a sound outside the door.

The three of them shut up in time.

Turning his head to look, he saw Nie Su coming over, holding two sets of dry clothes in his hands.

"Brother, I brought my clothes."

After Nie Su left, Su Dawei renegotiated with Li Bo and them.

In the end, there are several conclusions.

The first is to try not to show flaws and handles to people.

This is what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: first be invincible, and then wait for the enemy to be victorious.

I will not be victorious, but I will be victorious against the enemy.

If you don't show your flaws, the enemy will have no gaps.

The main defense is not Li Zhi, but villains like Li Yifu.

If Li Zhi really wants to punish the crime, no matter how Su Dawei tosses, there is only a dead end.

But people like Li Yifu are different.

As long as Su Dawei doesn't show his handle, these people can't do anything about Su Dawei.

When he has the opportunity, Su Dawei will not care about any face, and will try to get rid of Li Yifu and Helan Minzhi.

Sometimes, people in the rivers and lakes are indeed involuntarily.

If he doesn't get rid of others, they will preempt him.

The previous assassination case, as well as the case of Princess Gaoyang this time, has already illustrated this point.

When it comes to politics and power, only you live or die, and there is no room for any luck.

Su Dawei has gone through several wars, and his mind has long been different.

With the sword is like affection.

Use affection as soldiers.

Now that the enemy is closing in.

It can only be dealt with with in the art of war.

"Let's make these regulations for the time being, Ducha Temple, you have to hold on to it for me, as for other aspects, I will deal with it, remember, Ducha Temple is our lifeblood, it is the root, and we must not lose it."

"Ami, don't worry, with us, there will be no problems in Ducha Temple."

Gao Dahu said confidently.

Li Bo also nodded solemnly: "Those few people who may have come in with sand, we have quietly stared at them, as long as you nod, you can ...... at any time."

"Don't worry, since you know it's sand, it's more useful to keep it than to get rid of it."

"That's right."

"There are many storms in the future, all of you work together, and after the storms, it will be a flat river."

"Haha, as said, that's a great blessing."

Li Bo smiled, a flash of worry in his eyes.

Ruo Su Dawei is really because he is Wu Meiniang's person, and he has hated His Majesty today.

That future......

As a time-traveler in later generations, Su Dawei's vision naturally far surpasses that of Li Bo and others.

But he also knew that although Li Zhi's body was not very good, he could still last for more than ten years.

During this period of time, I only hope that there will be no major contradictions between the emperor and the queen, otherwise people like him who follow Dingwu Meiniang are afraid that the first one will be eliminated by Li Zhi to sacrifice the flag.

What is this called?

Su Dawei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, at first, he just wanted to be a bad handsome man with peace of mind.

Who would have thought it would come to this point.

Li Zhi can live for more than ten years......

What are you going to do in the past ten years?

You can't expect Li Zhi and Wu Mei to have a good relationship.

That's impossible.

Or do you want to cut the relationship with Wu Meiniang appropriately?

Well, if it's really cut, don't say whether Li Zhi believes it or not.

Even if you really believe it, after surviving Li Zhichao for more than ten years, Wu Meiniang will be in power later, what will you do?
