Du He reached out to take the box and bought it heavy. It was a rare steel box made of pure steel. Even with the sharpness of the Panlong Sword, it could not be broken. It was obviously a box used to store precious things... At the edge of the steel box, there were traces of being pried. The padlock in front had broken, and the broken lock was unknown where it was left and could be opened at any time.

He lifted the tightly sealed lid, and put a secret letter that was already a little yellow, and half a box of dried fruits was pressed under the envelope. It looked strange and I don’t know what it was.

At this time, Changsun Wuji spoke, "At first, I thought this fruit was a poisonous thing... King Wei and Cui Zhongping and others discussed something shameful about it. They secretly asked someone to take a dried fruit and go to the doctor to see what it was. As a result, no doctor knew him and made people eat it with ruthlessness. He did not get any useful information."

Du He hesitated for a moment and finally took out the secret letter. Perhaps this might be the plan of Changsun Wuji. But when curiosity kills the cat, Du He is naturally full of curiosity about strange things. At this moment, he is thinking about it. Even if there is a tiger in front of him, he will still kill the tiger.

The secret letter was written by Li Tai to Cui Zhongping. Du He is proficient in calligraphy and has great experience in calligraphy. Li Tai is also a figure with outstanding literary talent. He has a high level of calligraphy and his own style.

Du He only knew at a glance that it was Li Tai's handwriting, which was in Li Tai's style, and it should not be a forged one.

There was no secret in the letter, just talking about something that had been discussed. Li Tai asked Cui Zhongping to find Xue Rongguo as soon as possible. As for what to do with Xue Rongguo, all the questions in the letter were not clearly stated.

Du He looked at it calmly. But a huge wave was stirring in his heart. He remembered something deep in his memory. It had been several years since he went to Du Ruhui's fiefdom to recruit guards. On the way, he met Wu Meiniang and a group of strange people. Because of this group of strange people, strange things were triggered, and in the end, it involved the unknown Your Highness and Empress Changsun.

At that time, because there was no evidence, there was no way to investigate, and the matter was almost incomplete.

Unexpectedly, after many years, things surfaced again.

He had suspected Li Tai at the beginning because Li Tai was the most suspicious. Apart from Empress Changsun, only Li Tai and Li Ke were the ones who benefited, and they were the most likely to become the next crown prince and were Li Chengqian's strongest opponents. But Li Ke and Li Tai were a little different from Li Tai? Li Tai was deeply loved by Li Shimin and was in Chang'an. As the saying goes, the moon was the first to get close to the water. { } When Li Chengqian fell, the possibility of his successor as the second son was far better than Li Ke, which was a great disadvantage for Li Ke. Li Chengqian only received the support of Empress Changsun, but Li Tai was spoiled by Li Shimin. The real decision of the crown prince lies in Li Shimin. Once Li Tai was given this opportunity, Li Ke's chance was minimal. On the contrary, Li Chengqian, the more powerful Li Tai was, the more defeated both sides were, Li Ke's chance was greater. Therefore, whether Empress Changsun lived in this world did not have much significance for Li Ke.

Li Tai is different. Because of Du He's existence and the premature exposure of Li Chengqian's many bad deeds directly led to Li Shimin's extremely disappointed with Li Chengqian's future crown prince. He had already had the intention of making a vacant crown prince, but because of Empress Changsun, he had not taken action.

As soon as Empress Changsun died, it was imperative to take advantage of the situation back then. Li Tai got much more profit than Li Ke. Of course, Li Ke was not without this possibility. The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty was Li Chengqian one day, and Li Ke had no chance. Li Chengqian stepped down, and even if Li Tai had a chance than Li Ke, Li Ke was not without a chance.

Who doesn’t want to sit on the throne of the emperor above ten thousand people? Even if there is only a slight chance, countless people will flock to fight for it. What’s more, Li Ke is also a prince praised by Li Shimin and has the hope of reaching the top.

Du He did not dare to determine the person behind the scenes at that time, but Changsun Wuji's letter undoubtedly announced the real murderer.

Du He put the letter into the envelope, then put it back into the steel box as it is, sealed and covered it, and said casually: "I read the letter, but I don't understand. This is just an ordinary letter, worthy of being so cautious by Lord Changsun?" He could not believe a fox, and he would not be intimidated with this fox, even if he had thousands of questions in his heart, he did not ask.

Changsun Wuji said: "This is definitely not an ordinary trust. I can guarantee all the Changsun family. Ten years ago, I sent my most trusted confidant to sneak into the Cui family. He spent eight years to gain the trust of the Cui family. A year ago, he exchanged his life for me to give me this box without reason to doubt the importance of this box. I have always felt that if I remove those two methods, if I want to break the monopoly of the aristocratic clans at the lowest cost, I must rise up and find another way. And this box is the rising alien. Today, I will give this box to Lord Xiao Du, just treat it as an apology from my Changsun family."

Du He was a little moved. He knew that Changsun Wuji was right. This box was indeed a treasure, but he couldn't imagine that Changsun Wuji would give him such a big gift. Li Shimin was worried about the affairs of the aristocratic clans. Anyone who helped him with his help at this critical moment would have great benefits.

Du He smiled and said, "According to Lord Changsun's words, this will be a huge contribution. Lord Changsun is really willing to give this contribution to me?"

"To be honest, one hundred people don't want to..." Changsun Wuji did not hide it, and said truthfully: "I have said that I love to win. I have such a contribution that even if I force me, I am not willing to give it to others. But I have no choice but to do anything... I am not afraid of Lord Xiao Du's joke. Over the past year, I have used all my skills to read thousands of ancient books, investigated in depth, and racked my brains to find out the secret hidden in this letter. I don't know what this Xue Rongguo is."

Du He nodded secretly. Changsun Wuji was telling the truth. This letter was really useless. Even if Changsun Wuji was so powerful, he would not have the ability of the unpredictable prophet. However, it would be of great use to cooperate with what he got back then.

Changsun Wuji continued: "Now I have decided to stay away from the court and go back to my hometown Luoyang. This box is useless to me. It should be left to someone who is suitable for it. Wei Zheng is too rigid. Lord Fang, your father has great wisdom, but he is not as good as me for some small plots. I can't understand it, and they can't do it either. Well, after thinking about it, Lord Xiao Du is the most suitable. Your ability to judge with insightful fire will not be able to find a second one even in the entire Tang Dynasty."

Du He hurriedly said, "Mr. Changsun is so proud of me."

Changsun Wuji strengthened his tone and emphasized: "What I am talking about is the fact. It is no longer a secret that Lord Du's ability is. Leave the box to you, and I hope you can ignore past grudges and not add your hostility to the Changsun family."

Du He couldn't expect Changsun Wuji to do this, and he couldn't help but feel respect for this former "strong enemy". After Wu Meiniang's guidance, he had already gained a certain understanding of Changsun Wuji's thoughts.

This time, Changsun Wuji really fell. Faced with the death set up by Wu Meiniang, Changsun Wuji lost Li Shimin's trust and was unable to make the world come true. In order to prevent the Changsun family from being implicated because of him, he decisively chose to resign. He was worried that people in Chang'an would still not avoid those who had offended before and were hostile to him, so he chose to leave Chang'an.

Before leaving, Changsun Wuji used this method to resolve his grudges. His head of the family really did his duty and responsibility to the Changsun family.

But is it really necessary to do this?

Du He looked at Changsun Wuji deeply and said in a deep voice: "Is Lord Changsun doing what he is today just a si-heart? I don't believe it..."

Changsun Wuji was shocked, and his eyes as wise as a fox looked at Du He's eyes. He understood what he meant. He suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that there is another person in the world who can understand me, Changsun Wuji... This life is worth it."

Changsun Wuji was not a good person. He did all the bad things for the Changsun family and to shine the lintel. But one thing is beyond doubt, that is his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and to Li Shimin. It is also because of this that when Changsun Shunde expressed his desire to punish Du He at the cost of the Tang Dynasty, his reaction was so extreme, which directly led to the current tragedy.

Changsun Wuji was leaving, but he knew that he was holding the key physical evidence that could overthrow the aristocratic families. Out of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, he chose to take out the physical evidence and give it to Du He, a person who has always regarded as an enemy.

He knew how someone could unlock this secret in the Tang Dynasty, and that person must be Du He who had a divine thinking like a detective.

Du He didn't like Changsun Wuji, and could even be said to be disgusted. Even so, he never doubted the other party's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. This time, he picked up the box without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, Lord Changsun, I, Du He, will do my best to solve this mystery, not for the sake of this, but for the Tang Dynasty to eliminate this bad policy and go further."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I believe..."

Did Du He and Changsun Wuji reconcile?

This answer is yes.

No, the conflicts and grudges between them cannot be reconciled.

Their thoughts are two extremes and they can only become opponents. Even if Changsun Wuji is defeated and leaves the court, they will never become friends.

There is only one thing they are the same: they all hope that the Tang Dynasty can go further after their love for the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this purpose, the hostile mutual reached a consensus.

Du He walked out of the Duke of Zhao's Mansion with the box, looked at the afterglow of the fallen west, and took his own steps in the Duke of Zhao's Mansion with no more glory.

Changsun Wuji is like this afterglow, and he is just the opposite, the thriving sun...
