Chapter 1113 This is a smart person
"Mr. Zhang, you are wrong to say that." Zhang Nan was just about to start threatening when Li Yifu turned against him first: "It was you who just threw a sweeping kick and knocked the Duke of Zhao down like a turtle. Why are you denying it now?"
"Huh?" Zhang Nan didn't expect that Li Yifu would behave like this.
"What do you mean?" Changsun Wuji was also confused: he had seen many sinister and cunning young people in his life, but one as sinister as this...
It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
"Duke Zhao, please let me help you up first." Li Yifu did not respond to Zhangsun Wuji's questioning. He just helped Zhangsun Wuji up from the ground and said, "Don't worry, even if it comes to your majesty later, I will insist on telling the truth - Duke Zhao, you have been worrying about the country and the people recently, and you have been thinking too much, so much that you even walk carelessly -"
"Boy, can you have some shame?" Changsun Wuji couldn't tell what he was feeling. He just pushed Li Yifu away and said coldly, "You are as good at lying as your bastard master."
"What are you saying, Duke Zhao..." Upon hearing this, Li Yifu bowed and said, "It's far from it... It's far from it..."
"..."At this moment, Changsun Wuji even had the thought that Li Yifu was "my destined enemy."
This boy... is so shameless and ruthless... He can even say such words...
"Duke Zhao, I came here today for something important, not just to humiliate you." After a long while, Li Yifu finally got to the point: "Duke Dou said that you should no longer have any dealings with the Prince of Chu's Palace. For the sake of the Empress and your son, Chang Sun Chong, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will not bother too much with a filthy villain like you.
Of course, the premise is that you don't provoke His Royal Highness Prince Chu's brothers and sisters."
"I wrote to him before, asking for peace!" Zhang Sun Wuji took a deep breath and said, "And he treated me like this?"
"Duke Zhao, you just like to deceive yourself." After Zhangsun Wuji said such high-sounding words, Li Yifu suddenly understood why Lord Dou asked him to take action: "You wrote a letter to Qiongzhou, is that asking for peace from His Royal Highness the King of Chu?
Although I don't know the content of the letter, I can guess: it is most likely words of surrender, and there may even be a few lines like "Remembering the deep affection between uncle and nephew in the past, I wish to rekindle our friendship today" - nonsense that is so heartfelt and heartfelt that even you don't believe it.
Duke Zhao, what did His Royal Highness the King of Chu do wrong? "Li Yifu said this and suddenly sighed, "I actually heard General Qibi Heli say that His Royal Highness the King of Chu seemed to have warned you about something in Mount Li, but you didn't seem to listen at all."
"I am his uncle!" Zhang Sun Wuji seemed to be provoked by Li Yifu: "How could he——"
"Why can't His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu kill you?" Li Yifu thought that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was good in every way except that he was too kind-hearted: "To be honest, it's only because His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is so powerful that he left you as a scourge. If it were someone else, he would have died eight hundred times ago..."
"Who said it wasn't..." In fact, Zhang Nan has always kept his distance from the young man Li Yifu. This thought was deepened by the speed at which the other party changed his expression just now. But to be honest - as long as one is a retainer of the Dou family, he will have such thoughts.
“You guys…” Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Changsun Wuji could not help but wave his sleeves angrily: “Get out of here!”
"Duke Zhao, we haven't finished talking yet." Seeing that the other party was still pretending, Li Yifu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You wrote a letter to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, are you really asking for peace?
You surrendered to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu only because you saw that His Majesty seemed to have changed his attitude towards His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, so you intended to increase His Majesty's sense of crisis.
You think that you are the most trusted minister of His Majesty, so your withdrawal will make His Majesty feel that he is completely alone.
As the emperor becomes a lonely and helpless person, he will become even more suspicious.
There are countless examples of this throughout history, right?"
"..." Li Yifu's words made Changsun Wuji stunned on the spot, but then he said with a gloomy face: "These are just your conjectures! How can I be framed by you!"
“No, no, no,” Li Yifu shook his head after hearing this: “It’s a false accusation… With my current status, at most I can take advantage of you a little with the help of Mr. Zhang, just like I did just now.
But... Duke Zhao, one really shouldn't be like you, calculating everything.
From the moment you wrote the letter to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, you have had no good intentions.
No matter how His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu replies, you will take the letter to Your Majesty.
Your action is not intended to enhance His Majesty's trust in you. You just want to make His Majesty angry again because of His Majesty's arrogance when his doubts about His Majesty's Royal Highness the Prince of Chu deepen.
Everyone knows who His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is.
If you write to him and he replies with good words, I, Li Yifu, can tear my head off and play Cuju with you!"
"..." After Li Yifu finished speaking, Changsun Wuji pursed his lips, and then said: "I am not as bad as you think. I am just dissatisfied that he actually let a little kid like Ruchu reply to the letter."
"What else?" Li Yifu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Duke Zhao, it's really good that His Highness can reply to your letter.
And do you think that His Majesty is completely unaware of what you are thinking? You really underestimate our wise emperor!"
"What do you want to say?" Changsun Wuji has been tortured to the point of going crazy recently. The Five Surnames and Seven Families are no longer so devoted to him. The officials in the court have also begun to distance themselves from him because Fang Xuanling is competing with him...
Now... even His Majesty...
At this moment, Changsun Wuji finally had a glimmer of enlightenment in his mind, but he did not dare to think about it any further.
"Your Majesty's thoughts are not something we, the ministers, can try to guess." Facing Zhangsun Wuji, Li Yifu's attitude switched between "sincerity" and "hypocrisy" very smoothly: "I just want to remind Duke Zhao not to stare at the Prince of Chu's Palace all day long.
If His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu wants to take revenge someday, it will probably be useless even if you ask His Majesty for help.
On the contrary, since His Royal Highness the King of Chu is too lazy to pay attention to you now, you might as well think about where you went wrong to cause the current situation.
If you think clearly, change it. If you don't, you can only wait for death." After Li Yifu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Nan beside him and said, "Mr. Zhang, when you arrive in Qiongzhou, please tell Mr. Dou for me: After I persuaded him with both emotion and force, Mr. Zhao finally understood his bad situation and decided not to cause trouble for the head of the family. In this case, we in the Dou family don't have to treat Mr. Zhao as an enemy. After all, we are a loving family!"
"..." Zhang Nan didn't know what kind of thick-skinned person Li Yifu had to be able to say such shameless words in front of Zhangsun Wuji.
But...he still nodded.
"Duke Zhao, what do you think?"
"..." Changsun Wuji, who was named by Li Yifu, took a deep look at Li Yifu, then turned his head to look at the Taiji Hall in the distance, and finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "The royal family is ruthless, it has been like this since ancient times. It is not my fault that Li Kuan insisted on making trouble for me.
But... Li Yifu, since you are willing to speak so openly today, I promise you...
From now on... the King of Chu and I will not interfere with each other."
"Duke Zhao, you just need to make sure that your 'well water' does not interfere with other people's water." Li Yifu smiled when he heard this: "As for His Royal Highness the King of Chu... How can we, as retainers, guarantee this on behalf of the master? Besides, even if we can, we have to be at the level of the old Taoist priest and Lord Dou..."
"..." After Changsun Wuji said these words to Li Yifu, he was stunned for a moment, then pushed Li Yifu and walked out of the palace.
Li Yifu said nothing upon seeing this, but just stood there and watched the other party leave with Zhang Nan.
After a long while, Zhang Sun Wuji's words came from afar: "This old man...will keep his promise..."
"Alas..." Li Yifu finally clapped his hands and sighed after hearing this: "This is a smart person... my... Duke Zhao!"
