Xu Jian concealed the truth within the lies, concealed the truth within the lies, and told what happened on the mountain and down the mountain.
His previous dealings with Li Jun gave him a lot of experience, and he now knew very well that if he wanted to gain the upper hand in a conversation with Li Jun, he couldn't be "honest."
Only true and false, as true as false, can whet Li Jun's appetite and take the initiative.
As expected, Li Jun looked at Feng Danyunqing, but in fact he listened attentively to Xu Jian's rhetoric that confused the truth and falsehood.
Then, he curled up his lips and chuckled.
Li Jun doesn’t believe it?
If it was their first time fighting each other, Xu Jian would probably have such doubts in his heart.
But now he could clearly see that Li Jun was actually thinking, but he didn't want to show his thinking. Instead, he "delayed" time with a smile that didn't mean anything.
Xu Jian smiled back with the same smile, looking more confident than Li Jun.
In this way, Li Jun became more and more uncertain.
Of course he had heard about such a big thing as the lightning strike in the Qianfu.
Li Jun also heard about the "wonderful" scene of how Li Shao differentiated himself in the Jinluan Palace, making all the courtiers unable to get up and down.
During the excitement of the morning court, Li Jun was heard stroking his hands and laughing.
What was he talking about at that time? That idiot Li Shao was actually smart at some point. I don't know who made the move.
Now, Xu Jian has taken that rhetoric a step further.
The late Empress not only reminded Li Shao, but also reminded Li Shao of what happened that night.
This is really...
Even if you don’t believe it, there are still so many things that are believable.
If he wanted to believe that the empress had sent thunder under the ground, he might as well believe that his father would be resurrected from the dead tomorrow.
"You..." Li Jun took a shallow breath and said, "I just lived in Yongji Palace for a long time. There is nothing wrong with my head."
Xu Jian looked at him with a smile: "I thought that you would be more interested in what happened that night than if the late empress mentioned some of the details than if an old friend had a dream."
Li Jun sneered.
Xu Jian asked again: "Do you think the context I just analyzed with you makes sense?"
"It makes sense, of course it makes sense," Li Jun put down the tea cup and leaned against the pillow, "but what does it have to do with me? I've said it before, I didn't arrange the bandit, and I didn't start the fire. He
If Li Yi wants to find a monkey-faced eunuch or someone else, he can look for it on his own. Come to Yongji Palace, I don’t have any monkey-faced ones here."
"How come it has nothing to do with you?" Xu Jian was not worried at all, "His plan caused a huge stir and ended with the Holy Emperor ascending the throne.
Judging from the results, he didn't get much profit himself, but you and Li Mi were deceived by him.
He planned the bandits' attack on the town and launched a mighty nationwide bandit suppression.
Li Mi is a straight-tempered person, and whether he thought up the idea of taking credit for victims of the death row or was instigated by Wang Liuliu, it's hard to say at the moment.
Li Mi took the bait, and the other royal highnesses also joined in in order not to fall behind.
After the plan was laid out, the man anonymously reported to the Holy Emperor, revealing the truth about Baoping Town and targeting His Highness the King.
Your Majesty is not gullible, but you actively attacked King Ding."
Having said this, Xu Jian paused, glanced at Li Jun's indifferent expression, and then continued: "With your ability, you may not really believe it, but you will not miss a good opportunity to drag down King Ding.
.
King Ding was so worried that his already tired body fell ill under the heavy pressure, and finally died.
The late emperor was furious and executed Li Mi and you.
But think about it again, no one was responsible for the death of King Ding back then, but now you know that it was Wang Liu6 who poisoned King Ding.
The man behind the scenes used Baoping Town as an entry point to suppress the bandits and then exposed them, poisoned King Ding, deposed Li Mi, and banned you.
You are his result and also his pawn to poison the king.
What is this called?
If you are sold by him, you have to count the money for him."
As soon as he finished speaking, even though Li Jun had always maintained a calm posture, his face was hardly tense at this moment.
Given his arrogance and pride, this kind of comment is simply a shame and a huge insult.
But he couldn't refute it yet.
Xu Jian didn't seem to care whether Li Jun was angry or annoyed, and said: "Of course, he is also Bai Mi Yi Shu.
Originally, the battle for the throne was one in which there were too many monks and too few rivals. Unexpectedly, the fire at Dingguo Temple burned people's lives and burned the emperor who had no intention of competing for the throne.
You think, if the incident in Baoping Town had not happened, the Holy Emperor would still be an idle sixth prince who was quarreling with the princess.
Later, Li Mi was tricked by King Ding into other ways in the sixth year, but without a clear opportunity to attack King Ding, you probably won't be the vanguard.
It’s hard to say who will win in the end.”
Li Jun raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.
Pictures of the old days flashed through his mind, and he remembered that in the Jinluan Palace back then, people from all walks of life were quarreling and had their own thoughts.
The thrill of biting the other person's throat was still rolling through his body.
Compared with today's calm Yongji Palace, it is a world of difference.
"What?" Li Jun put down the tea cup and asked Xu Jian, "Do you want me to bite someone out for you?"
"How can you say it's a bite?" Xu Jian smiled and refilled Li Jun's tea, "I just want to hear your opinion. Who do you suspect is behind your brothers' backs?"
Li Jun laughed, looked at Xu Jian playfully after laughing, and said word by word: "I can doubt anyone."
"Really?" Xu Jian asked.
Li Jun wanted to regain the initiative, but Xu Jian couldn't let him get his way.
He said calmly: "Then you speak slowly and doubt the past one by one. I am all ears."
Li Jun's smile narrowed slightly.
It is really rare to find people who are so insufferable.
Speaking of which, his status is not as good as before. When he was still the third prince walking in the court, which courtier would dare to do this to him?
Those who have a good temper and those who are timid will be honest and obedient.
There are some who are hot-tempered and courageous, and there are also a few who roll up their sleeves and curse.
But being so neither yin nor yang, seemingly submissive, is actually completely rebellious, which is extremely rare!
Li Jun was angry in his heart, and he would not follow Xu Jian's wishes. His tone was scornful and mocking: "It doesn't matter who I doubt, but I ask you, does Li Yi dare to take action?
The government needs evidence when deciding a case, but the emperor doesn't need to be so particular about killing someone!
If the king wants his minister to die, he will have to die, as long as that king dares to let his minister die.
I said Li Du, will he kill Li Du?
If I say Li Yan, will he kill Li Yan?
He doesn’t know how, he doesn’t dare, he doesn’t even dare to kill me!”
Xu Jian did not accept Li Jun's words, but she still agreed in her heart.
The Holy One is not such an unreasonable person.
Li Jun seemed to be interested and began to talk: "Father just put me under house arrest and kept me alive.
He, Li Yi, wanted to be a decent person, and he would not dare to disobey his father's orders.
I eat and drink well in the Yongji Palace. I burn silver charcoal in the winter and eat ice bowls and soups in the summer.
Even I am still alive. How can he attack Li Du without proof?
At this point, Li Yi and I are two different people, so I won't care so much.
I can kill Li Du if I want to, but what if the censor scolds me?"
When Xu Jian heard this, he pretended to have some understanding and said, "That's why you are even more suspicious of His Majesty the King of Jin."
"You... Hey!" Li Jun laughed, "You're a bit interesting. Yes, I doubted him, but it's useless. It's impossible for me to confront him."
Xu Jian also laughed.
Even though Li Jun seemed to start talking all of a sudden, he was far calmer inside than he showed.
It was not a gaffe when he mentioned Li Du, but as a former chess piece, no matter whether it was right or wrong, he would always reward the winner.
There is no doubt that the Holy Emperor is the winner. The King of Jin who escaped unharmed from the hands of the late emperor is also the winner to Li Jun who was imprisoned.
Li Jun still wants to control this conversation.
Xu Jian saw through it, so he stopped talking about the "Prince of Jin" and turned around to talk about Wang Gouzi.
"You are from Yongji Palace, but His Highness is interested in that dog," Xu Jian said, "You didn't tell the dog to do anything strange, right?"
Li Jun asked back: "For example?"
"Contact people to deliver news and give His Highness various ideas," Xu Jian concluded, "just like what Wang did in his sixth year."
"What? Did you catch that little bitch?" Li Jun sneered, "My eldest nephew is so naive that it makes people laugh or cry. What did he get fooled by?"
Xu Jian didn't answer, and only said his own: "I followed Wang Gouzi's line and pointed at Yongji Palace.
Don't you think this hand looks familiar?
Just like back then, when the fight finally came to assign blame, the leader was either you or Li Mi.
That person has not changed his original intention and still points to you to count the money for him."
"You're all counting on me?" Li Jun seemed to be completely entertained, tapping the armrest of the Grand Master's chair with one hand, as if making time, "Ha! Then I will definitely bite Li Du to death, and I won't count the money for him in second place.
Second-rate.
But can Li Du let me bite him? No way!
Let me analyze with you what Li Du is thinking at this moment.
He would want to kill me, eradicate the roots, and put the blame on Li Yi. Hey, this is what Li Du likes to do.
It's okay to die of illness, just like Li Cang, but who let you find out the cause of Li Cang's death? His skills are not so easy to use now.
However, when it comes to killing people, there are plenty of ways to do it.
And I am in Yongji Palace, which is apparently a forbidden area. If Li Du kills me, Li Yi will bear the responsibility.
I died of illness, hanging, drinking or poisoning, it all depends on which one the censors prefer.
I'm not afraid of the censor, Li Yi really cares about me."
Even though he knew that Li Jun did not play his cards as usual, Xu Jian still had to be on guard against this sudden "inspiration".
"I thought," he looked at Li Jun and said, "you prefer to see the effectiveness of the layout with your own eyes, rather than using yourself as a bait. The Holy Emperor and the King of Jin started fighting, but you couldn't see anything when you closed your eyes.
I feel sorry for you."
Li Jun glanced at Xu Jian meaningfully: "Then who can say for sure, what if I really let Li Du succeed?"
"You must be careful," Xu Jian replied, "Maybe one day, the money that was sold can be recovered, and some interest can be collected."
When Li Jun heard this, he burst into laughter.
This conversation ends with this.
Xu Jian stood up and said goodbye.
Li Jun had someone take him off, and he sat motionless on the Grand Master's chair.
When Xu Jian's footsteps could no longer be heard outside, Li Jun drank a cup of tea and smashed the cup with his hand.
There was a bang.
After a crisp sound, the porcelain fragments flew apart.
Li Jun's face was extremely gloomy.
Although he had always been relaxed and did not let Xu Jian dominate the conversation, he also knew that he did not really control Xu Jian from the beginning to the end.
On the contrary, Xu Jian, even if he did not have the upper hand, still put everything he wanted to say and ask on the table.
From the beginning to the end, it was Li Jun who was trying to flatter himself by saying they were evenly matched.
In fact, he was the loser.
Of course, what makes Li Jun most angry is not Xu Jian's sophistication and calmness, but that he "helped count the money after being sold".
When he thought about the development of that year and the roles he and Li Mi played in the fight for the throne, he became furious.
In fact, for a moment, Li Jun even felt that Li Mi's life was better.
Although Li Mi was demoted to a commoner and would never enter the capital, Li Mi was a fool. He didn't know this from beginning to end, nor did he know the knife stabbed by Wang Liu in the sixth year.
Stupid people are blessed with stupidity. If people are stupid enough, they will have fewer worries.
And he, Li Jun, thought he was smart and outstanding, but in the end he was tricked into a mess.
Trapped in Yongji Palace, I can only watch the old events unfold, the truth is revealed but I can't intervene.
How not to be angry!
Outside, Xu Jian kept walking.
His hearing was amazing, and even though he had walked a little far, he still heard the crisp sound.
Looking at the waiter who was leading the way, he didn't react at all.
Xu Jian pursed her lips, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
No matter how calm Li Jun pretended to be, he was still not shaken at all.
And given Li Jun's character, if he suffered such a big loss of being mute, not only would he not forget it as time goes by, but he would think about it day and night, becoming more and more profound.
If he only bites King Jin today but doesn't give any evidence or clues, it may not happen tomorrow.
As long as he can't swallow this breath, he will speak sooner or later.
After leaving Yongji Palace, Xu Jian entered the imperial study room again.
Eunuch Cao was still guarding the place, and the Holy Master listened to Xu Jian's report.
The Holy Emperor did not comment on Li Jun's remarks about "dare you kill or not", but simply asked: "You mean, he thinks King Jin is behind those things?"
Xu Jian said: "That's what he said."
"You can't believe everything he says," the Holy Emperor paused, and then said, "His temperament is like this. He doesn't care when he goes crazy. He used to fight for power, but now he wants to gain profit. Such a good opportunity to provoke him is given to him.
In front of me, he can tell any nonsense."
Xu Jian was not surprised by His Majesty's reaction.
Firstly, the Holy Spirit has such a character, and secondly, Li Jun has a lot of criminal records, so it is difficult for him to trust the Holy Spirit with his unsubstantiated words.
Just looking at Li Jun's character, Xu Jian had to weigh his words.
However, he and the little princess were already suspicious of King Jin, so Li Jun bit him randomly and bit him on this spot...
Xu Jian pondered for a moment and said to His Majesty: "Just because he went crazy and ignored him, I was worried that he would commit suicide."
Eunuch Cao almost took a breath of air and bit his lip quickly.
The Holy Emperor's face was also dark.
Xu Jian said: "He didn't know who the real murderer was, he just randomly introduced a Jin king.
Today is different from the past. Before you ascended the throne, everyone had a chance. However, you have been sitting on the throne for more than ten years, and the person behind you wants to pull you down. There is no opportunity.
But if the person from Yongji Palace dies in an unknown manner, Your Majesty, you will undoubtedly be criticized by the censors, and the person behind you can use this situation to put pressure on you.
At that time, the victor and the flag-bearer who had retreated faced each other again, and there were constant troubles in the court, which was in line with the wishes of the man from Yongji Palace."
