Chapter 238 The hardest to see clearly is yourself

Du Chuke is an interesting person. From saints and priests to scholars and people, there seems not many people who have never heard of his name, but if they say what he has done in detail, most people can't answer it.

When everyone talks about Du Chuke, they will always involuntarily follow, "Oh, I know, do I know, Du Xiang's younger brother?"

Most of the time, Du Chuke is the shadow of Du Ruhui, so that when Du Ruhui dies, most people don’t know where Du Chuke should be placed.

Du Chuke didn't like this feeling. He thought he was also talented, and even his ability might not be much worse than Du Ruhui. Why did his elder brother become the prime minister of the empire? Isn't it because he hugged the King of Qin early on? Today's King of Yue may not be much inferior to the King of Qin back then, and he may not have no chance to surpass his brother.

In his heart, Li Tai is his god, his life, and everything about him. Now that someone has a trap for Li Tai, Du Chuke immediately became angry.

On the contrary, Li Tai was extremely complicated at this moment. Du Chuke's silent questioning made him feel a little guilty after all, which made him feel very ashamed. Did he really have no interest in that supreme position? Haha, let alone him, which prince has never fantasized about becoming the lord of the world?

The question is, do they have a chance? It is not clear whether other princes have Li Tai, but he at least knows that he has it himself.

Humans are really a strange creature. Even if you think about it, you will only yell in your mind when you can't sleep in the middle of the night. When it's time for the day, you laugh as if nothing has happened. But if you really have the conditions, the thought that was just yy in your mind will linger you tightly, making you unable to stop.

It’s like every man will have a little distortion when he sees a cool-dressed beauty passing by you on the street, but this does not mean that you want to come to her. But when this beauty frequently appears by you? When this beauty pushes you against the wall? When this beauty pushes you against the wall in a single room and takes off her clothes? Maybe you won’t do it in the end, but I’m afraid that it’s just an individual who can’t do it.

At this time, Li Tai was almost the stage when the beauty frequently appeared around him and was occasionally discharged. Although he did not take any practical actions, he would sometimes think about it.

Similarly, he certainly knew that what Du Chuke was right, he, Li Chengqian, Qin Hao, of course, it's your good luck now, and I'm good luck to everyone, but once he and Li Chengqian are in opposition, there is almost no need to consider it. Qin Hao will definitely stand beside Li Chengqian.

"If it is true as you said, there is no need for Qin Langzhong to send me to Yangzhou. After all, that place is going to be developed in large quantities. It won't take long for these to be political achievements. In this way, wouldn't Qin Langzhong shoot himself in the foot?"

Du Chuke sneered and said, "Your Highness, this is Qin Hao's sinister place. It seems that this is a good thing for you, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that it is cunning. It is true that there are political achievements in that place. But now the princes of the court, even the princes of the Li family can't help but reach out to Yangzhou. What is he going to pull you over at this time? Shield, at that time, the money will be earned by his Qing Gang, and all the offending things will depend on you. In this way, even if you get some achievements, what can you do? If you offend the civil and military officials of the court for no reason, even if you can get temporary benefits, you will still lose the long-term."

Li Tai frowned again, but did not speak, and then heard Du Chuke continue, "Not only that, you left the capital and went to Yangzhou, which is equivalent to leaving the center. No one can say when you will be back. Invisibly, your vague competition with the prince will be greatly reduced. The officials in the court will naturally gather at the prince's side. When the prince returns to Beijing in the future, he will undoubtedly lose the first move. The court politics is most taboo to change the party, and it will be even more difficult to gain the upper hand."

"Also, although you can make political achievements this time, you are undoubtedly far from the saint. The biggest bargaining chip you fight with the prince is the holy favor. If you go there for a few years, the holy favor will definitely be greatly reduced when you come back. With the previous two points, you may no longer be the prince's opponent."

If Qin Hao heard Du Chuke's high arguments here at this time, he would definitely give him a thumbs up. This old boy learned about his brother's ability to govern. However, this private strategy is 80% like Du Ruhui. Basically, Qin Hao thought about him and he had already thought about it. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, there are almost no one who can understand Qin Hao's 30% arrangements.

After hearing Du Chuke say that, Li Tai was still frowning and lowering his head for a long time, his face stiffened like a wooden board. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, Li Tai said, "What does what you said have to do with me? I just want to be a wealthy and idle person, and I will be with poetry, wine, calligraphy and painting for life. The position of the country is not the aspiration of my king. Du Changshi, please go back."

"Your Highness!!"

"Go back."

Seeing Li Tai's expression was firm, Du Chuke had to sigh helplessly and left lonely, but he knew that the seeds had been planted, and as long as he was careful to take care of them, they would always take root and sprout.

Li Tai sat blankly on the table after Du Chuke left for a long time, until dinner time, and he had no intention of getting up. He said to himself: "Brother Zhenheng, do you mean this? Did Du Changshi seize your gentleman's ambition with a villain's heart, or... Is this king too simple?"

At the same time, Qin Hao was actually asking himself this question. Li Xin and Xiaodie set up the bowls and chopsticks in the canteen and lit candlelights, but they had to wait quietly for him to come for dinner. Some servants wanted to call, but Li Xin stopped them.

She knew that Qin Hao must be thinking of a very important question.

To be honest, Qin Hao himself didn't know if he was as sinister as Du Chuke said. He invited Li Tai to Yangzhou. The starting point was really just to help him block the knife, but it was undeniable that he thought of all the things Du Chuke thought of, and even Du Chuke didn't expect that he had dozens of plans.

Could it be that he would not do the plan he thought of? Haha, after all, he is still Li Chengqian's person. After all, Li Tai is still the most vigilant opponent in his heart. If he has the chance to strangle the throne to death in the cradle, he will try it no matter what, even if this will hurt Li Tai.

Is he accusing his friends? Although Li Tai's strife for the throne in history did not succeed, he was implicated by almost all his friends around him because of the so-called Fang Yiai's rebellion case during the Gaozong Dynasty. He could only end up in depression. If he was based on the result, he would definitely be helping him.

But...Isn't this really a scheming? Qin Hao can't figure it out.

It seems that he is no longer the little civil servant in his previous life. The more he moves forward, the more he seems to be unable to see himself clearly.
