Chapter 107 The hermit has his own ingenious plan

After Li Chengqian said this, Zhao Jie finally reacted. With the style of the nobles, even if they wanted to pull down the prince Li Chengqian, there was no need to use such extreme means.

Now the relationship between the prince and the nobles has not reached the point of a life-and-death struggle, so there is no need for such desperate means.

If it is not the nobles, who else could it be? In other words, what benefits would it bring to the person behind the prince by getting rid of him?

Zhao Jie is not stupid, but with the current way of thinking of Zhao Jie and others, they did not think about it in this direction.

"Your Highness! Now that the clues are broken, it is probably difficult to find the person behind the scenes. Your Highness should be more careful in the future and increase the protection of guards." Du He said.

Du He was worried that the person behind this would make another move, which would be bad for the prince. It is easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. It would not be wrong to strengthen security.

"That's not necessary. I know who is behind this!" Li Chengqian said.

"Who is it?" Du He asked.

"Since Your Highness knows this person, why don't you take her down?" Zhao Jie said.

"Without solid evidence, you can't touch her. She is the concubine of my father, Wu Cairen." Li Chengqian said.

"What? How is this possible?" Zhao Jie said. He and Du He were very surprised.

"Is Your Highness mistaken? Why did Wu Cairen want to assassinate Your Highness? What good would it do for her?" Du He asked in confusion.

They both didn't understand why a concubine of the emperor would harm the prince, and what good would it do for her.

"Tell me, if I am assassinated, who is most qualified to become the crown prince? Enter the East Palace." Li Chengqian said. "

Of course it is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin! Both the Prince of Jin and His Royal Highness are the sons of the eldest grandson, Empress Wen. Now that the Prince of Wei has been deposed and exiled to Taizhou, if Your Royal Highness is assassinated, the position of crown prince will undoubtedly belong to the Prince of Jin." Du He said.

Now they are even more confused. A prince and a concubine, who have nothing to do with each other, how can they be linked together?

Moreover, what good will this do to Wu Cairen?

They never thought that Wu Cairen would have an affair with the Prince of Jin, Li Zhi.

Although the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and men and women could have casual relationships and male favorites, Wu Cairen was nominally the stepmother of King Jin, and if they had an affair, it would be incest.

This is not allowed morally, and will be despised and condemned by thousands of people.

It was because Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had an improper relationship that later Yang Shidao's son and his aunt committed incest, and Wu Zetian's mother Lady Yang and her grandson He Lanmin committed incest.

It was because Wu Zetian and Li Zhi started it that so many people broke through the shackles of morality and let themselves go.

If Li Chengqian was not a time traveler, he might not have thought about it in this way, but the fact is that Wu Zetian and Li Zhi had an affair, which is an indisputable fact.

Li Chengqian was just not sure whether Wu Zetian had hooked up with Li Zhi.

"I heard that Wu Cairen and the King of Jin had an affair and did something shameful behind my father's back! I think Wu Cairen did this so that the King of Jin could become the crown prince and ascend to the throne." Li Chengqian said.

Du He and Zhao Jie opened their mouths wide in shock after hearing this heavy news, so big that an egg could fit in them.

"Your Highness, do you have evidence to prove that Wu Cairen and the King of Jin had an affair?" Du He said.

"No." Li Chengqian shook his head. Where could he find evidence to prove that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had an affair.

"Your Highness! Don't say such things in the future. If Your Highness doesn't have evidence and someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous. This will be extremely disadvantageous to Your Highness." Du He said.

"I also think what Du He said makes sense." Zhao Jie agreed.

"You also have a point. I will be more careful, but I can't sleep or eat well if I don't get rid of Wu Cairen.

Before Wu Weiliang and others committed suicide, Wu Cairen had secretly visited them. Not long after she left, these people were poisoned to death. If

you say that Wu Cairen has nothing to do with it, I will never believe it. In order to get rid of Wu Cairen once and for all, I must get rid of Wu Cairen." Li Chengqian said.

This time, Li Chengqian was determined to kill Wu Zetian.

"Your Highness, do you have any way to deal with Wu Cairen? If not, I think it's better not to act rashly for the time being." Du He said.

"Then do you have any strategy to help me deal with Wu Cairen?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian had already thought about it. He would first spread the news of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi having an affair in Luoyang. After Li Er knew about it, Li Chengqian would take the opportunity to find an excuse to go to Luoyang.

After arriving in Luoyang, he would instigate Li Er to kill Wu Zetian. In this way, the hidden danger of Wu Zetian would be solved.

"I think we can send someone to secretly investigate Wu Cairen. Once there is solid evidence that proves that Wu Cairen is the mastermind behind the scenes, we will report to His Majesty and let His Majesty execute Wu Cairen at any time." Zhao Jie said.

This is the most reliable way, but this is not what Li Chengqian wants.

Li Chengqian looked at Du He. He wanted to see if Du He had a better idea.

"I agree with what Zhao Jie said. This is the most reliable and safest way at present. As long as we can keep a close eye on Wu Cairen, she will do whatever she wants." Du He said.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Your method is too slow for me. No one can predict whether Wu Cairen will take this opportunity to strengthen herself and attack me at the same time."

"Then your highness, do you have any good ideas?" Du He asked.

"Tell me, if the emperor knew that my brother had an affair with his concubine in the harem, what would he think?" Li Chengqian said.

What else can he think? He will definitely be furious and separate Prince Jin and Wu Cairen, or even execute Wu Cairen directly.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, there is evidence to prove that they have an affair, otherwise he will be suspected by His Majesty Li II.

"But, Your Highness! If you go to His Majesty and accuse Wu Cairen of having an affair with Prince Jin without evidence, Wu Cairen will then turn the tables and it will be bad for Your Highness." Du He said. "

Of course, we can't go directly to the emperor to accuse them of both of them, but we can spread the news. When the emperor knows about it, he will definitely be suspicious of Wu Cairen, and then our plan will be half successful." Li Chengqian said. "

Your Highness! Even if the rumor is spread, it will only cause suspicion at most. With Wu Cairen's ability, he can still turn the danger into safety." Du He said.

"I've thought about this too. If you want to get rid of Wu Cairen, I must give my father another push. Let's see if she survives this time.

I've already sent people to spread the news in Luoyang. I think Your Majesty should have received the news by now." Li Chengqian said.

How could Li Chengqian let Wu Zetian go? Fortunately, just in case, he specially sent people to Luoyang to spread the news.
