"Shi Yu, this storm seems to be about to pass. I haven't heard too much movement outside in the past two days."

In the Eastern Palace, Li Zhi and Yu Zhining talked secretly in the study as usual.

Since Yu Zhining pointed out the significance of the competition between the Changsun family and the Chu Prince's Mansion last time, Li Zhi's attitude has changed a lot.

"The incident of "Jin Ping Mei" has been in a turbulent manner for almost a month. Judging from the past, no matter what the hot thing is, after a month of tossing, the people's interest naturally declines. In addition, there are various other news every day, and the intentional or unintentional downplay of the Changsun family and the Gao family, the current situation is almost an inevitable result."

Yu Zhining was quite open-minded, and he was not anxious because the struggle between the Changsun family and the Chu Prince's Mansion became less intense.

In fact, he still has some means to use.

He proposed these methods in combination with Li Zhi's changes.

Obviously, Li Zhi took the initiative to talk to him about the "Jin Ping Mei" incident, and the information revealed in his words made Yu Zhining more confident.

This is the thinking that a crown prince should have.

What are the uncles and second brothers? They have to be ranked behind the throne.

"The Changsun family and Gao family suffered a huge loss this time. Could it be that my uncle recognized him like this? Based on my understanding of him, he does not seem to be such a generous person."

"What if it doesn't happen? It's useless to use the same method on the Chu Palace, because they can't make a book comparable to "Jin Ping Mei"; even because of similar means, His Highness of the Chu King will throw out a book comparable to "Jin Ping Mei" again. At that time, the Changsun family and the Gao family will probably suffer even more, and they will even be laughed at by the nobles in Chang'an City."

Yu Zhining assumed that he was Changsun Wuji and was thinking about how to deal with the Chu Prince's Mansion.

"The Chu Palace is now a big family and a big business. It is actually very easy for my uncle to find some attacks, but the effect is not very great. It seems that this time he is really ready to lurk for a while and look for new opportunities."

A disappointment was revealed in Li Zhi's tone.

How great it would be if they continued to fight and continued to fight.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, actually, has a suggestion that the people from the Changsun family and the Chu Prince's Mansion can further confront each other, so that this struggle that was a bit extinguished will become fierce again. However, the means are a bit risky."

Yu Zhining narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Zhi's face, trying to bring his reaction to his eyes.

"Mr. Yu has any good suggestions, let's talk about it?"

After Li Zhi was silent for a moment, he still expressed his opinions.

His father's health is not as good as before. Although nothing will happen in a short period of time, he also has to start planning for his future.

After all, in the court, Li Zhi has almost no influence now.

Except for the ministers who were arranged by Li Shimin to assist him, there are not many ministers who are taking the initiative to move closer to him.

After suffering the losses of the struggle between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, many ministers learned to be smart and became the imperial party obediently.

Who is the emperor who supports whom, don’t think so much about the others, just bury your head and become an ostrich.

Whether it is the jade processing or the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials he proposed, it is considered very novel attention.

The most important thing is to be highly feasible.

"A jade workshop can be built. If you plant Chinese medicinal materials, the demand is very broad. However, if you want to plant them, I ask the students from Guanshishan Academy Agricultural College to come and investigate before making a decision, so as not to affect the enthusiasm of the people at the same time."

Di Renjie immediately affirmed Li Yuanfang's proposal.

Of course, he is still very cautious when he should be cautious.

"There is a jade mine next to the village in front, so we can go there to take a look."

Li Yuanfang obviously did her homework too.

He has to investigate the places where Di Renjie wants to go every day, what villages there are, how many villagers there, what landforms are nearby, and whether there are any dangers.

"Okay, then let's go and have a look!"

Di Renjie is also an action faction.

Since we are already preparing to build a jade workshop, we naturally have to learn about the situation of the jade mineral deposits in Lantian County, so as not to make jokes later, or choose the wrong construction location of the workshop and waste time out of thin air.

Soon, the group rode their horses and ran towards the front.

"Huh? Why is there a pile of wood on the wooden bridge in front? Who is so unethical and throwing the wood directly on the bridge?"

When Di Renjie and his group approached the front, they stopped in front of a wooden bridge.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

Just as Di Renjie and his friends stopped, several sharp arrows flew out of the woods next to them and shot directly at Di Renjie.

"Bang!"

Li Yuanfang was quick-eyed and quickly, and he rushed and knocked down an arrow.

At the same time, Di Renjie was thrown off the carriage.

After several other guards found that the situation was wrong, they immediately took out their crossbows and shot fiercely in the direction of the arrows.

Although this aimless shooting did not achieve direct results, it also scared the other party and effectively prevented their subsequent shooting.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the other party did not hide in the bushes anymore, but rushed out directly.

The five masked men in black all targeted Di Renjie in front of him, trying to kill him.

Where would Li Yuanfang let them succeed?

He took out a flying knife from his arms and threw it directly at the masked man.

"ah!"

The flying knife hit a masked man's chest. At such a close range, he directly destroyed 80% of his combat power.

Afterwards, before Li Yuanfang took action, several other guards also fought with the masked man with big swords.

As Di Renjie's escort, the most important person is to ensure Di Renjie's safety.

At this time, Li Yuanfang did not join the battle, but grabbed Di Renjie's arm and protected him behind him, ready to deal with the assassin's attack at any time.

"ah!"

"ah!"

The guards Li Kuan arranged for Di Renjie were all elites from the Chu Prince's Mansion.

These assassins obviously did not expect that there would be so many masters around a county magistrate, and even had crossbows that only used in the army.

The failure of the first raid actually means failure.

However, as dead soldiers, if the mission is not completed, they will not retreat easily.

Otherwise, their fate will be even more miserable.

"Commander Li, there are five assassins on the other side, all of which are dead. I originally wanted to capture one of the injured ones alive, but the other party bit his tongue and committed suicide."

It took only a few minutes and the battle was over.

"If you die, you will die. If these people enter Lantian County, they will always leave some clues."

Li Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this is not the time to care about these things.

"Yuan Fang, what do you think about today's incident?"

Di Renjie remained calm from beginning to end.

The students of Guanshishan Academy not only learn cultural knowledge, but also have no shortage of military training that they should have.
