Li Jiancheng now saw Mu Qi as a close friend and believed that Mu Qi had pointed him in the right direction. Most importantly, during this period of time, Li Jiancheng had not been having a good time. He had been having a hard time and was being suppressed everywhere. Under such circumstances, Mu Qi's words made a lot of sense.
Li Shentong's objection made Li Jiancheng unhappy. He said in a low voice, "Duke Huai An, how is Mister Mu harboring ill intentions? He said that the Duke of Qin's Mansion is in a bad situation, but the Duke of Qin's Mansion is already established. This Heavenly Plan Mansion is independent and Li Shimin is the General of Heavenly Plan. How can they suppress him? "
Li Shentong said, "But even so, they shouldn't leave Li Shimin alone. If they left him alone, the Hebei war wouldn't be like this. Li Shimin would've taken down Liu Heita long ago. "
Li Jiancheng said, "Duke Huai An, you're wrong."
Li Shentong said, "What's wrong?"
Li Jiancheng said, "Mister Mu said that letting Li Shimin do as he pleases doesn't mean letting him develop. If I want to develop my strength, I'll do it in a low-key manner. Just like this time, dealing with Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin was done in secret. His Majesty doesn't know about this. It's possible to make a move at this level. "
Li Shentong's face twitched.
He felt that something was wrong.
Mu Qi had ulterior motives.
Li Shentong looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xima, what do you think of Mu Qi's analysis?"
Wei Zheng said, "Duke Huai An, I think that Mu Qi's analysis is reasonable. Under the current circumstances, it's extremely difficult for the Eastern Palace to suppress the Duke of Qin's Mansion. We can only rely on His Majesty's pressure to suppress the Duke of Qin's Mansion. As long as His Majesty says the word, the Duke of Qin's Mansion will be suppressed. "
"You …"
Li Shentong was infuriated when he heard that.
Bastard!
Even Wei Zheng agreed with Mu Qi's analysis. It was unforgivable.
Li Shentong took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said, "Crown Prince, I'll say it again. You must be careful. If Mu Qi is Li Shimin's man and purposely submitted to you, it won't be worth it in the end. In short, it's always good to be more thoughtful. "
Li Yuanji said, "Big Brother, I think we should trust Mu Qi. After all, his analysis is reasonable. Of course, Duke Huai An's words made sense. One must always be on guard against others. It's better to be more careful. "
Li Jiancheng said, "This Crown Prince has always believed that if you use someone, don't doubt them. If you doubt someone, don't use them. Since we've recruited Mu Qi, we naturally trust him. There's no reason to doubt him. "
Li Shentong was instantly speechless.
He glanced at Li Jiancheng and shook his head inwardly.
Li Jiancheng was too soft-hearted.
In the struggle for the throne, he actually allowed Li Shimin to grow, and even entrusted everything to the Emperor. In Li Shentong's eyes, such a choice was no different from cutting off an arm.
Li Shentong's eyes turned, and he suddenly had a plan. He smiled and said, "Crown Prince is right, it was me who spoke nonsense."
Li Jiancheng had already been bewitched.
There was no way to persuade him otherwise.
Even if he continued to persuade him, it would be useless. He might as well give up. As for Mu Qi, he would deal with him. Whether it was out of consideration for Li Jiancheng or for himself, he had to get rid of Mu Qi.
This Mu Qi was a stumbling block.
This was Li Shentong's view.
Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Li Shentong's understanding. He said, "It's good that Duke Huai An can understand. You have to understand that we have nailed a nail by the Duke of Qin's side. That way, we can always find out news. But if you are too suspicious and don't trust Mr. Mu, then there will be nothing. In short, no matter what, this is worth it. "
Li Shentong's heart ached.
What bullshit worth it.
Your brain is full of tofu dregs to believe Mu Qi's nonsense. Especially when Wei Zheng and Li Yuanji agreed with him. You must be out of your mind to not understand things.
Li Shentong ridiculed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Crown Prince is wise!"
Li Jiancheng's joyful mood was now shared. His heart was completely at ease, and he felt extremely proud. He did not have any more thoughts to say. He waved his hand and said, "It's late, go and rest."
"Yes!"
Wei Zheng, Li Shentong, and Li Yuanji replied in unison.
The three stood up and took their leave.
After exiting the tent, Wei Zheng left first. Li Shentong called out to Li Yuanji. "Duke of Qi, do you really believe Mu Qi's words?"
Li Yuanji said, "I should."
"This old man does not."
Li Shentong's eyes were sharp as he spoke coldly. He waved his sleeve and said, "Duke of Qi, Li Shimin's military skills and methods of controlling his subordinates are extremely powerful. Li Shimin's strategists will not easily submit. Have you forgotten the civil and military officers of the Duke of Qin's residence who were transferred away? The Crown Prince has tried to recruit them, but none of them succeeded. So this old man believes that there is a problem. "
Li Yuanji said, "Duke Huai An, why didn't you explain this to the Crown Prince earlier?"
Li Shentong said, "The Crown Prince has clearly been bewitched. The more we say, the more mistakes we will make. Rather than making the Crown Prince sick of it, it is better not to say anything. Whether it is Duke of Qi or this old man, we all wish for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible. We all stand on the Crown Prince's side. So, you and I will not harm the Crown Prince. I believe that there is nothing wrong with having one more thought. "
Li Yuanji said, "Royal Uncle, if you think about it, there should be no problem with Mu Qi submitting. Think about it, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are Li Shimin's most trusted aides. They are irreplaceable. "
After a pause, Li Yuanji continued, "As for the Duke of Qin's Heavenly Planning Residence and many others, they are all a young lad like Mu Qi who is temporarily irreplaceable. The Crown Prince has given him a chance and a platform to display his talents. So, it is normal for Mu Qi to submit. "
At this time, Li Yuanji called Li Shentong "Royal Uncle" in order to get closer to him.
After all, this was not a formal occasion.
"You …"
Li Shentong was speechless again.
He felt that a summer worm could not talk about ice. It was like playing the lute to a cow. He spoke with good intentions, but this was the result.
Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Royal Uncle, don't be angry."
Li Shentong said angrily, "I am not doing this for myself. This is for the Crown Prince's great cause."
Li Yuanji said, "Royal Uncle, in my opinion, this matter is very simple. The Crown Prince can only trust Mu Qi. The reason is simple. The Crown Prince is the ruler, but he has doubts about Mu Qi. I'm afraid Mu Qi will not serve the Crown Prince. If Royal Uncle has doubts, why don't you test him? "
After hearing this, Li Shentong's eyes lit up. He looked at Li Yuanji as if he was meeting him for the first time. He said, "King Qi, you really can't judge a book by its cover. King Qi's words have enlightened this old man. "
Li Yuanji said, "Royal Uncle praises me too much. Actually, this is a trivial matter. It is not worth mentioning. Whether it is me or Royal Uncle, we all hope that the Crown Prince can ascend the throne as soon as possible. This way, it will be easy to deal with the Duke of Qin. "
"That makes sense."
Li Shentong hurriedly nodded.
It was not convenient for Li Jiancheng to appear, but Li Shentong could. If he exposed Mu Qi's scheme, then Li Jiancheng would not suffer any losses. Even if he found nothing wrong with Mu Qi, it would not affect him. In any case, it would not be wrong.
Li Yuanji said, "Royal Uncle, rest early. It is already late."
With that, Li Jiancheng hurriedly left.
At this moment, Li Shentong's worries were all gone and he was no longer worried. He walked briskly to his own tent to rest.
