The distance from the Ganlu Hall to the Eastern Palace was not far. After leaving the Ganlu Hall, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji quickly returned to the Eastern Palace. Once they returned to the study, Li Jiancheng could not suppress the anger in his heart. He cursed and scolded continuously before his anger subsided slightly.
Li Yuanji sat below with a gloomy expression.
He was also very unhappy.
Du Qi, this brat, was really lucky.
Li Yuanji was rather calm and said, "Big Brother, things have already happened. No matter how angry we are, it won't help. The most important thing now is to discuss how we should deal with it. This is the most important thing. "
Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement. He immediately sent someone to invite Wei Zheng.
After all, Wei Zheng was the mastermind.
After entering, Wei Zheng bowed and sat down.
Li Jiancheng concisely described the situation of the great victory at Yanmen Pass, as well as some overview of Du Qi's diplomatic mission to the Turks. When Wei Zheng heard this, his expression was one of disbelief as well.
One must know that the Turks were wreaking havoc at the border of Daizhou in the north. The situation was extremely dangerous. Now, Li Daen had swept the Turks and obtained a great victory. Moreover, he had completely weakened the Turks, making it impossible for them to recover within a few years.
Although Li Daen had deployed troops, all of this was actually Du Qi's plan. If not for Du Qi, even if Li Daen had elite troops, he would not have been able to obtain victory.
The most important thing was still Du Qi.
After thinking for a while, Wei Zheng said in a deep voice, "When His Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace, His Majesty must have finalized the reward for Li Daen of Dingxiang. Then, did His Majesty mention the reward for Du Qi? "
"No!"
Li Jiancheng shook his head and replied.
He was also stunned for a moment before he reacted. Li Jiancheng was very clear that his Imperial Father Li Yuan greatly appreciated Du Qi. Since Du Qi had made a great contribution, it was impossible for Du Qi not to be rewarded.
Wei Zheng said, "His Majesty did not mention the reward for Du Qi. It seems that His Majesty is not prepared to discuss this matter and will directly arrange it. He only hoped that Du Qi would not interfere with the Imperial Court for now. If Du Qi really interferes with the Imperial Court, it will be even more disadvantageous for us. "
Li Yuanji said, "Du Qi probably won't get involved in the Imperial Court for the time being. After all, he's still young."
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how young Du Qi is, he has already affected and even threatened us. Last time, we arranged for an assassination in Puzhou, but we didn't expect that our men would be completely wiped out. We don't know how the assassination failed. Now that Du Qi is back, it's even worse for us. "
Li Jiancheng paused for a moment, and then he looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuan Cheng, how should we deal with Du Qi?"
Wei Zheng listened helplessly.
Why was it related to Du Qi again? Even if Du Qi was powerful, even if Du Qi was not simple, he was still a child.
It wouldn't affect Li Jiancheng much.
Especially since the Emperor was already old. As long as he was patient, it would be easy to deal with Du Qi when Li Jiancheng ascended the throne a few years later.
Taking action now would only increase his troubles.
It would also make Li Yuan angry.
Wei Zheng wanted to say these words, but he still suppressed it. He couldn't speak so directly, so he was silent for a long time before he said, "Your Highness, Du Qi has made arrangements in Yanmen Pass. He can be said to be a great hero of the Tang dynasty now."
"At this time, this humble one thinks that it's not suitable to have friction with Du Qi."
"Du Qi's position in His Majesty's heart is already extraordinary. Now that Du Qi has returned with a great victory, His Majesty thinks highly of him even more. So, this humble one thinks that it's better not to take action for the time being. "
"For the time being, let's wait and see."
Wei Zheng said, "Sometimes it's also a strategy to wait and see. Because once Du Qi shows a flaw, we will have a chance to win. "
Li Jiancheng was tired of hearing this. He didn't like this kind of discouraging words. He said in a deep voice, "Xuancheng, are you afraid of Du Qi?"
Wei Zheng sighed inwardly.
Li Jiancheng was also a wise master, but once it was related to Du Qi, his brain seemed to be stuffed with dozens of pounds of tofu dregs, and he couldn't even think a little bit.
Wei Zheng said seriously, "Your Highness, I'm really not afraid of Du Qi. But Du Qi has nothing to lose. He's just a boy, but Your Highness wants to get involved with Du Qi. Once this matter is brought to His Majesty, it will be extremely unfavorable to Your Highness. "
These words were a bit harsh.
Li Jiancheng's cheeks twitched. He looked at Li Yuanji and asked, "Fourth, what do you think?"
Li Yuanji thought carefully.
He didn't answer immediately.
In the current situation, Du Qi was getting stronger and stronger. The problem was that if they didn't suppress Du Qi, Li Yuanji didn't think the situation would be good. But how to suppress him was something that needed to be paid attention to.
"I have an idea."
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji came up with a plan, and he looked more confident.
He thought the plan would work.
Li Jiancheng's face broke into a bright smile. He asked, "Fourth, tell me, what's your plan?"
At this moment, Li Jiancheng was already overjoyed. If he didn't kill Du Qi, he wouldn't feel at ease. This was something that Li Jiancheng couldn't swallow.
Seeing this, Wei Zheng shook his head inwardly.
His heart was tired!
It was really frustrating to have such a master.
In particular, he didn't think that it would be useful to deal with Du Qi again. After all, Du Qi was getting stronger and stronger as he fought. A large part of what happened now was that the East Palace was targeting Du Qi, which led to the current Du Qi.
To a certain extent, it was the East Palace that created Du Qi.
However, Wei Zheng didn't say it out loud. He wanted to hear what Li Yuanji's plan was. What if Li Yuanji's plan was also feasible?
Li Yuanji said, "Big Brother, do you still remember the woman Du Qi took away from the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion, the woman named Qianxue?"
"Yes!"
Li Jiancheng said, "If I remember correctly, Xuancheng's son, Wei Shuyu, also participated in the fight. It was just that Du Qi, this kid, came out of nowhere. With a poem, an essay, and a parallel essay, he defeated Wei Shuyu and won. "
"Later, I heard that Qianxue became the helmswoman of Du Qi's tea shop, and Qianxue lived in the Du family. A person from a prostitute family entered the Du family. This woman isn't a simple character either. "
After a pause, Li Jiancheng said, "Fourth Brother, you mentioned Qianxue. Are you preparing to make a move on her?"
"Of course not!"
Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "The people in my residence went to inquire about Qianxue's situation. After Du Qi left, there were people protecting Qianxue every day. The people protecting her were all veterans who retired from the army. Although these old soldiers were somewhat injured, each and every one of them dared to fight and kill. To deal with Qianxue is extremely difficult. "
Li Jiancheng said, "Then what are your considerations?"
Li Yuanji said with a smile, "I think that Du Qi is willing to redeem Qianxue's freedom. It proves that although Du Qi is young, he also has tender feelings for women. Or rather, Du Qi is cunning. "
"This time, my plan is to use a woman as a breakthrough point. And this breakthrough point must be a woman Qianxue knows. At that time, let Qianxue come forward to beg Du Qi. Once she is by Du Qi's side, it will be easier to deal with Du Qi. "
"Not to mention killing Du Qi, it will be enough to make Du Qi lose his reputation."
Li Yuanji said, "Of course, what I am thinking now is only a general direction. As for what we are going to do, we can still discuss and adjust it. In short, this is the general direction. "
Li Jiancheng said, "Since Fourth Brother said so, there is a certain chance of success." After that, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, you arrange this matter."
Wei Zheng felt bitter.
Why was it him again?
This matter was not easy, but Li Jiancheng had arranged it. Even if Wei Zheng was unwilling, he could only agree and promise to do his best to operate this matter well.
After all, with the support of Prince Qi Li Yuanji and the Crown Prince's residence in the Eastern Palace, there was still a certain chance.
