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

Chapter 673 The Comfortable Traitor

Hearing the suggestion of his chief think tank Quan Wanji, Li Ke's eyes lit up and he immediately said with appreciation: "Not bad, this idea hits the nail on the head for me, you are worthy of being called Zhuge Liang."

After his worries left his mind, Li Ke noticed the injuries on Quan Wanji's face and asked with concern: "Wanji, how are your injuries? It's because you worked for me that you suffered this misfortune. I'll give you two days off, go back and have a good rest."

"Yes, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will go back now."

Quan Wanji, who was about to turn around, seemed to suddenly think of something and said quickly, "By the way, Your Majesty, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time and I want to discuss it with you."

"Whatever it is, just tell me."

"Your Highness, now that the grain transport is open, the Crown Prince is still in charge of transporting grain and grass from the border to Chang'an. It seems that this job will be a long-term job. When the war in the north begins, the Crown Prince will naturally become the general dispatcher of grain and grass for the three armies."

Quan Wanji said with a worried look on his face: "In charge of the logistics and food for the three armies, the generals of the Northern Expedition will all run to the East Palace. When the war is over, the power of the East Palace will become stronger. As a result, the power of the prince will become weaker, right?"

When Quan Wanji mentioned this, Li Ke's mood darkened again, and he said irritably: "Then what do you want me to do? I was originally involved, but then a series of accidents happened, and now I'm kicked out. Otherwise, I can at least be a deputy dispatcher and win the hearts of the people, right?"

Quan Wanji said confidently, "Your Highness, don't forget that Cheng Yaojin has thrown himself into the arms of the Eastern Palace. Even if half of the heroes of the Dingxiang Battle have entered the Eastern Palace, will the emperor still trust the prince to manage the transportation of grain and grass alone?"

"The Eastern Palace has both soldiers and food, so even the court officials will not agree. If the prince intervenes at this time, I am afraid that the emperor will appropriately weaken the Eastern Palace, and take advantage of the prince's previous contribution to the canal construction, and let the prince's power in, which will also be a restraint on the prince."

"Moreover, this prince has always been hypocritical. Every time in front of the emperor and the court officials, he always pretends to be caring for you brothers. If you take the initiative to share your worries and the prince refuses, it will be equivalent to telling others that his previous attitudes were all fake."

At this point, Quan Wanji winked and said with a sinister look on his face: "Hehehe, if he agrees, then wouldn't it be a natural thing for you to extend your hand into the job of grain transportation? As long as you get in, with your power of recruiting, are you afraid that you won't be able to squeeze the East Palace to death?"

"Hahaha"

Li Ke's eyes brightened as he listened, and he said excitedly, "Yes, Wanji, you are indeed smart. I was just worrying about how to open up the situation! Your words reminded me that this mission was originally assigned to us by the emperor. Now that it has been clarified that it was a misunderstanding, you should let me go back."

"Next time I go to court, I will volunteer to see how that hypocrite responds."

Quan Wanji echoed the words, and then whispered with anticipation: "That, Your Majesty, I was demoted several levels due to the rumors I heard last time. I became a laughing stock in the temple and was bullied everywhere. Besides, the Honglu Temple is a quiet place. Even when I was the Honglu Cheng, I was very relaxed."

"If you send someone to manage grain this time, could you consider transferring me to the Sinong Temple? I want to change the environment and start from scratch. What do you think?"

Li Ke was startled. He looked at Quan Wanji, whose face was bruised and swollen and who was carefully flattering him, and thought about his current situation. He used to be a subordinate, but now he has become a superior and needs to be served carefully and laughed at by everyone. He ended up in this situation because of doing things for him. He should have thought of it earlier.

"Wanji, it's all my fault!"

Li Ke felt ashamed and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry. Even if I have to sacrifice my reputation, I will transfer you to Taicang and find you a good job so that you can live comfortably for two years."

'Well, it's done!'

Quan Wanji was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best to protect Your Highness. As long as I go there, I will monitor the East Palace for Your Highness, manage the food and grass, and win over the soldiers on the front line to make them appreciate Your Highness' kindness."

"Hahaha, Wanji, you are my think tank. I am always at ease when you do things." Li Ke nodded with satisfaction.

Quan Wanji suddenly had a strange feeling. Except for being a little uncomfortable in the beginning, after a period of adjustment, he found that he seemed to have a talent for being a traitor, and he was getting more and more adept at it.

This position has both the present and the future. If you do something that is beneficial to Li Ke, you can get rewards from Li Ke; if you do something that is detrimental to Li Ke, you can ask for credit from the crown prince. It can be said that there are benefits in every way. And with the information provided by the crown prince, your source of information will be more informed. Over time, your status will continue to rise, and Li Ke will value you more.

Revealing Li Ke's information to the prince could also gain his appreciation, and there was no need to worry too much. The prince's plans were generally long-term, and the strategies he made also concealed some of the information, which would not bring doubts to his identity.

Because the prince's intention was not to kill the King of Shu. Sometimes he would even deliberately help the King of Shu through himself.

This made Quan Wanji, a man of great talent who made a living with his wisdom, sincerely admire the prince's long-term vision. Keeping Li Ke as his goal could not only protect the Eastern Palace, but also use him to deal with the King of Wei and the King of Qi. He was really far-sighted!
Moreover, with the resources from both sides, Quan Wanji followed the plans and strategies given by the prince, and every time he proposed a plan to the King of Shu, he basically got the cooperation of the prince.

For example, this time, it was the prince's idea to get the King of Shu to participate in the grain and grass transportation. After Quan Wanji proposed it, the King of Shu was still thinking about how to make it happen, but Quan Wanji already knew that no matter what, it would succeed, so he made another contribution.

According to the prince's instructions, he was sent to Taicang by the King of Shu. Not only did he get rid of his current situation, but he also gained more attention and appreciation from the King of Shu.

Not to mention that the King of Shu wants to promote me, the Crown Prince will also support me to a more important position in order to let me play a greater role here and have more inside information. With such good luck and support from both sides, is there any need to worry about the future?
Quan Wanji secretly sighed in his heart, since he became a traitor, he was like a tiger entering the mountains and a fish returning to the sea, and felt that he had found the meaning of life. He was born to do this, why didn't he realize that being a traitor had so many benefits? If he had discovered it earlier, he would have done it a long time ago, and there would be no need for others to force him.
"Hey hey hey"

The two of them changed their previous sullen expressions and laughed with their eyes wide open. Seeing the King of Shu smiling like a child with a smug look on his face, Quan Wanji's smile became even more cheerful. And Quan Wanji's panda eyes and half of his face were bruised, and he laughed so hard that Li Ke couldn't help laughing and laughed even more happily.
Even the frogs on the lotus leaves on the pond seemed to feel the joyful atmosphere. They croaked twice, kicked their hind legs, and dived into the water with a splash, creating ripples.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Not long after Chang Sheng started his shift today, he was called to Chongren Hall and met Li Yan who was drinking tea.

The Yongtong Canal project had been completed a few days ago, and the Tongguan Pass had also been resolved and restored to its original state. Li Yan reported to Li Shimin, and then withdrew all the officials of the Prince's Palace who were sent to the construction site and Tongguan.

Thinking that the missions on both sides had been completed, and that he had won a great victory in the battle with Li Ke, subdued Quan Wanji and Cheng Yaojin, and won the position of commander-in-chief of the Dingxiang Road, Xue Rengui also followed Cheng Yaojin to Dingxiang yesterday.

The case of Cheng Huailiang was settled, and the court did not find any clues. Wu Qing, who mysteriously disappeared at the Yongtong Canal construction site a month ago, was found hiding in Changsheng's mansion in Pingkangfang by Wang Xuance, who was secretly monitoring him.

It's really dark under the lamp!

The most dangerous place is the safest. Hiding under the eyes of everyone in the imperial city and lurking in the bustling city, it is no wonder that Wu Qing was not found in the arrest warrants all over the world.

Li Yan felt that it was time to deal with Chang Sheng's affairs, so he took advantage of the free day and sent someone to call Chang Sheng over.

Chang Sheng was wearing his duty armor and looked listless as usual. He looked even more worried than when he had just returned from the clouds. After paying his respects to Li Yan, he stood there expressionlessly waiting for orders.

Chang Sheng felt that things had been very unlucky recently, as if he was being targeted by bad luck. Nothing he did went well. First, Sun Da died unexpectedly, and then he lost his post as Zuotunwei. Except for killing Cheng Huailiang, which was relatively smooth, he did not expect to hide it from the court and was exposed by Cheng Yaojin who returned to Beijing.

In a hurry, Wu Qing had no choice but to leave first to divert Cheng Yaojin's attention. But who knew that the emperor was so concerned about the matter of Prince Yin that he directly sent people to control the Zuotun Guard without any evidence, and then took them to Beiyuan for a major purge.

Not only were the old subordinates that Wu Qing secretly recruited arrested, but even those who had previously left the old East Palace were dismissed and sent back home. A thousand people were transferred from Jingzhou to disrupt the reorganization, and now all the hidden agents who had been lurking for three years were screened out.

Even if there are some individual fish that have escaped the net, it is meaningless. The vacant position of General of the Left Guard has been occupied by Chai Zhewei. For a while, I am afraid that I will have to sit on the sidelines in the East Palace.

Changsheng was confused about what to do in the future.
