The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 606: A series of tricks

"According to what you said, they are even talking about you, so there must be someone behind the scenes deliberately spreading and fanning the flames. Needless to say, it is most likely done by someone in the Shu Palace. It may not be the Shu King himself, but most likely someone around him, and the Shu King is also happy to see it happen."

Zhang Sun Wuji frowned and analyzed: "The King of Shu has three subordinates around him. Cheng Huailiang is busy taking over the Zuotun Guards during this period, so he is definitely not able to take care of them. And Chai Zhewei is a warrior. He can kill people with a knife, but he doesn't have the brains to do this kind of delicate work."

"In the end, only Quan Wanji is left. He used to follow Feng Deyi. After old man Feng passed away, he followed the King of Shu. He is known as Zhuge's equal. He is a character who waves a goose feather fan. Quan Wanji is now the sixth-rank Honglu Cheng in the court. It is an idle job. He has nothing to do every day and hangs around Li Ke. I think this is probably a trick by him."

As expected of an old fox, he figured out so much inside information in a short time, and even found the main target. Li Yan secretly praised him, and then asked: "The wind direction has changed a bit now. If they just want to praise the King of Shu and win some people's hearts, I don't care, but I can't let them ruin my reputation like this, right?"

"What do you want?"

Zhang Sun Wuji shook his head helplessly: "These rumors are spread among the people, but they are not a serious crime. There are many people involved. We can't arrest people in the name of the government, right?"

"Besides, it's not a big deal if people discuss the achievements of the King of Shu and just mention you a little bit. If it spreads to the court, the emperor and the officials will think you are narrow-minded and can't stand your brother doing well. Maybe the King of Shu is waiting for you to do this?"

"Of course not."

Li Yan smiled slightly: "Even if you want to do this, I will stop you."

Under Changsun Wuji's puzzled eyes, Li Yan took two sips from the cup and said, "Wang Xuance beside me gave me an idea. It is better to spread rumors than to block them. If others can spread rumors, we can do the same. Fight poison with poison."

"Oh, what do you want to do? Tell me." Changsun Wuji asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Li Yan lowered his voice and said, "Xuan Ce told me that since my third brother wants to be in the limelight, a gentleman should help others to achieve their goals, so why don't we help him? We can also send a group of people to spread rumors in various markets. Aren't they praising the King of Shu?"

"We also flatter them. They say that the King of Shu is a wise and powerful man, famous and capable of accomplishing great things. We say that the King of Shu has the appearance of a true dragon and will be the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, supporting the country and the people."

"There are also rumors that when the King of Shu was born, Concubine Yang dreamed of a golden dragon that hovered in the sky for a long time, then fell from the sky and pierced her belly. After the King of Shu was born, Ningxin Palace was shone with golden light, and many eunuchs and palace maids saw it with their own eyes."

Li Yan had a treacherous smile on his face: "What do you mean the King of Shu is the Purple Star descended to earth? When the King of Shu sleeps at night, the whole palace emits a faint purple light."

"When the King of Shu was on a diplomatic mission to the grassland, a cloud covered his head, escorting him all the way and blessing him with safety. It did not dissipate until he returned to Chang'an. Then some Hu people were sent to spread the news in Chang'an, saying that the person most admired by the Hu people in the grassland was the King of Shu, and that the King of Shu was the only man in the Tang Dynasty who had defeated Jie Li."

"."

"hiss"

At first, Changsun Wuji didn't care much, but as Li Yan spoke, Changsun Wuji's expression became more and more solemn, and there was more and more brilliance in his eyes when he said that the King of Shu was the only man in the Tang Dynasty who had defeated Jie.

Changsun Wuji was shocked, with his mouth open, looking at Li Yan in disbelief.

"Wang Xuance?"

Changsun Wuji's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped, and he murmured in amazement: "It's that young man with a slightly lively personality. I really misjudged him. He actually has such strategy and wisdom. He is really a hero in his youth. It seems that your tutors are not just a bunch of decorations?"

"What are you talking about?"

Li Yan immediately said indignantly: "My people are all talented, okay? Who is gossiping outside and ruining my wise men like this?"

"Hey hey hey"

Changsun Wuji smiled disdainfully and shook his head: "It was I who spread it."

"What, you old man."

Seeing Li Yan glaring, Changsun Laoer said with a fox-like smile: "Why are you so anxious? Didn't you always say that you should keep a low profile? If such rumors spread, no one will pay attention to you anymore. This is good for you. No matter how many tutors you recruit, you won't attract attention."

"That's true."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, and stopped caring: "Uncle, you know me, I'm honest, dull, and not good at speaking. I can't handle these conspiracies and tricks. Whether Xuan Ce's idea is feasible, I need your advice." "Uncle, you are mature and resourceful. Even my father often consults you on state affairs. The ideas of those young people are all wild and unrestrained. Whether they are feasible or not, I have to rely on important ministers like uncle to check it. Only in this way can I, your nephew, feel at ease!"

When Changsun Wuji first heard Li Yan's evaluation of him, he rolled his eyes and glanced at Li Yan with contempt. After hearing the flattery, he smiled and nodded, stroking his beard and exclaimed: "What you said later is quite reasonable."

"But don't underestimate yourself. I think the idea you came up with this time is very good. It takes advantage of the situation and sets off a fire. It's a very vicious strategy! Once this move is used, especially the last sentence, Li Ke will be the only man in the Tang Dynasty who has defeated Jie."

"I can't help but applaud. I didn't expect Wang Xuance to be so sinister. He usually looks sunny and bright. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect that he could come up with such a clever trick."

If Xuan Ce was present, he would probably cry and explain: "Master Changsun, please don't misunderstand me. I am not vicious. You are wrongly accusing me, Prince. I only suggested that we add more fire and roast the King of Shu on it."

"Prince, you should have poured two barrels of oil and set off a huge fire, burning the King of Shu to pieces. You are lifting a rock and dropping it on your own feet, why are you blaming me?"

Li Yan touched his nose with a sullen look on his face and glanced at the old man Changsun unhappily. This is called wisdom and strategy, okay? How about viciousness? Do you know how to use words?

But what he said was: "Who said it wasn't true? This prince also misjudged him before, thinking that he had a pure heart. I didn't expect that this boy had such bad intentions."

Changsun Wuji ignored Li Yan's awkwardness and said excitedly, "Once this rumor spreads, it will not only push the entire court and the people of the Tang Dynasty to the opposite side of Li Ke. I believe that even the emperor will be angry and dislike him."

"Li Ke is useless. He won't be able to compete with you again in the next ten years. Just spreading some rumors can achieve such an effect. It's really worthwhile."

Li Yan then said, "Uncle, you know that I usually only know how to read books and practice martial arts. I don't know how to do these dirty jobs, and I don't have any capable people under me. If I do it, if I don't keep it secret and get caught, it will be bad."

"And my uncle is mature and steady, and he handles things prudently. He is also very familiar with Chang'an. There is nothing in the streets of Chang'an that you are not familiar with. I will leave all the instructions for how to proceed with this matter to my uncle."

"That's natural!"

Chang Sun Wuji did not care about Li Yan's inappropriate words. With a gleam in his eyes, he stood up excitedly and walked around, patting his chest and said, "Leave this little thing to me. Doesn't Li Ke want to be in the limelight?"

"This time I will send him a strong wind to blow him up to the sky. I just don't know if he can still jump around when he falls down."

"That's right, uncle!"

A thought flashed through Li Yan's mind, his eyes rolled, and he finally reminded: "That Xuan Ce also said that the navy sent out..."

"Uh"

"It's the person who spread the rumors. It's best to use someone who looks like Quan Wanji, with a similar figure, height, beard, and voice. It would be best if those who were bribed could secretly see that this person was behind the scenes directing the matter. That would be best."

Ok?
Chang Sun Wuji's excited expression froze, his pupils shrank, his body stiffened, his mind quickly turned, and his face suddenly showed shock: "Hu Wang Xuance even guessed about Quan Wanji, this is incredible, isn't it?"

Li Yan looked puzzled and said in a pretentious manner, "I don't know why he proposed this. He just said that he had a trick up his sleeve. I don't understand. Could my uncle have guessed his thoughts?"

"If I am not mistaken, this person must have some conspiracy behind the scenes."

Changsun Wuji frowned and paced back and forth in the hall with a serious look on his face. His expression was stern and his eyes kept flashing. Li Yan was sipping tea on the side as if no one was around, feeling a little bored.

"Oh, I figured it out."

After a long while, Changsun Wuji paused, clenched his right fist into his left palm, and approached Li Yan with a look of surprise. His eyes were full of excitement, and he said excitedly: "If I am not wrong, Wang Xuance will definitely have a follow-up move. When the matter becomes a big deal, the emperor will be furious and will definitely send people to find out who spread the rumor."

"At this time, the storytellers, singers, gossipers, and the Hu people in the West Market will draw a picture of the person behind the scenes, and they will naturally find Quan Wanji. With so many people accusing him together, Quan Wanji will not be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River. In the end, the shit will naturally be put on the King of Shu himself, and he will shoot himself in the foot, which will increase the emperor's disgust for him."

"This is a plan within a plan, a trap within a trap, the King of Shu is doomed this time!"
