Chapter 35 Section five

Back at General Li's mansion, Shentujia fell into deep confusion.There may not be anyone at the table who asked him to assassinate, but why did General Li encourage himself to fight?Maybe he hates that guy named Dou Huaizhen?But definitely not to kill him.Because it is too easy to kill him, there is no need to spend twelve years training an assassin. When I hit the pumpkin, General Lee was so excited, it seemed that he was very satisfied with himself.But it would be too dangerous and not worth it to expose yourself in this way.Once the assassination is successful, the identities of the mastermind and the perpetrator will be as obvious as flies on cheese, because there is no other person in the world who will use such a cumbersome weapon.

However, the benefactor's intention may be to ask him to sacrifice his life for righteousness like Nie Zheng, if so, then it is Shentu Jia's obligation and cannot be shirked.do it! "Master Shentu, the general asked you to go up and bring your chopping board." The guard who came to pass the message had probably heard about what happened in Qujiang today, so he changed his usual haughty expression into a flattering smile. Li Chonghuan was still very excited when he returned to his mansion.This Shentu Jia gave him a pleasant surprise.From Shentu Jiazhui hitting the pumpkin, it can be seen that this person has unexpected skills in that stupid guy who can laugh to death.

What was particularly surprising was that this person seemed to be connected with him. He was so delicate in his movements before the banquet, and he made enough face for himself without leaving any traces in the eyes of outsiders.Especially the burning passion in his eyes, which is the most rare thing. Li Chonghuan came to a very smug conclusion: Shentu Jia is a warrior with a true temperament and can be used to great advantage. He told this conclusion to Wang Ju, the Minister of Zhongshu who had been waiting at his house to hear the news. Wang Ju was about the same age as Li Chonghuan, and he was a commoner acquaintance with the current emperor Li Longji when he returned to Beijing from Luzhou Biejia.Although this person came from a low family background, he was outstanding, he was big talker, and had amazing tricks. If he was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he must have been a figure of Su Qin and Zhang Li.Therefore, when talking with Li Longji, who has soaring ambitions, it feels like it's too late to meet each other.When Li Longji was canonized as the prince, he called Wang Ju into the prince's mansion to be the prince's middle servant in a hurry.Li Longji's kindness to Wang Ju is not unreasonable, and Wang Ju also takes it as his duty to preserve the Li family.Because Wang Ju was born in commoner clothes, he didn't have the habit of respecting the self-esteem of the children of the aristocratic family like Wei Zhigu, so he spared no effort to contact and advise the emperor.

"Li Wu, in your opinion, is this person reliable?" Wang Ju couldn't get rid of the habit of his humble background.He was called by the rank of Li Chonghuan's brother, which was a very rude expression in the Tang Dynasty, and such a title would only appear among friends of the same generation who had been close for many years.In Wang Ju's habit of coming from the lower class, this may just be an expression of intimacy, but Li Chonghuan sounds a little harsh.However, this commoner servant was already well-known in Chang'an for his rude remarks, so Li Chonghuan couldn't care less about it.

"This Shentu Jia has only been here for three or two days, and I still don't know him well." Li Chonghuan intentionally corrected Wang Ju's vulgar Chang'an slang with correct Mandarin and a gentle and noble attitude to show himself dissatisfaction. "However, judging from his performance today, this person may be very useful. I just don't know if he will be of use to us. Especially when there is such an opportunity again, Princess Taiping asked me for this person." Li Chonghuan deliberately paused here, seeing Wang Ju's great interest, and then said: "This kid impressed Princess Taiping very deeply, maybe she also sees that he is a useful person."

Wang Ju twisted his black nails around his withered mustache, turned his eyes to the lush garden, thought for a while, and asked, "Does Princess Taiping know what he was doing?" This vulgar upstart is a shrewd character, and his question is on point.Li Chonghuan couldn't help nodding secretly, and replied: "He used to be a famous cook in Songhe Tower, and Songhe Tower is Dou Huaizhen's property. You think, even if I don't tell this matter, Dou Huaizhen will tell Princess Taiping about it." "At present, the emperor is the eyes and ears of Princess Taiping, but we have no one with Princess Taiping. This is an opportunity, we must not miss it." Wang Ju said.

Li Chonghuan kept in his heart the news that Wang Ju had just accidentally revealed.The emperor has not placed anyone beside Princess Taiping, and the emperor has already lost a trick at this point.If the emperor makes a few more mistakes, this country will most likely have the surname Wu again. In the current chaotic political situation, Li Chonghuan has a certain degree of popularity on both sides of the emperor and Princess Taiping, which also gave him a fluke mentality, and he wanted to walk a high rope between the two sides like a charlatan.He wants to take a look at the situation, participate in some schemes, and fall to the winning side at the safest moment.If he can succeed, the day when Li Chonghuan will be crowned king and prime minister will not be far away.

"However, how can we make him sacrifice his life for us?" Li Chonghuan posed a small problem to this think tank who was praised by the emperor.He also wanted to test whether Wang Ju was really resourceful, because this person's words in front of the emperor were very important, if this person was really capable, Li Chonghuan's trust in the emperor would be increased a bit. On the other hand, Li Chonghuan really didn't know how to deal with this matter.If it was just a cook, Li Chonghuan would be happy to take the opportunity to please Princess Taiping.But if a spy is sent to Princess Taiping's mansion, Li Chonghuan himself will have to bear the danger of turning around first, so he must be cautious, because he believes in a theory that has been circulating for many years, and he does not know where this theory originated from. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, which one of these two figures, but people seem to believe that the appearance of the Wu family is to recover the debts of the previous life from the Li family.Especially in the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, people are more convinced of this statement because of Empress Wu's persecution of the Li family, especially when she forced her own son to death.

Wang Ju may indeed have a great talent. He whispered a set of unexpected plans in Li Chonghuan's ear.
