Chapter 504: Smart or Stupid

In the elegant room of Yingchun Teahouse, Li Jie sat opposite Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng, and was drinking tea leisurely. In contrast, the two people on the other side were all full of despair. After all, the arrival of Li Jie means that their plan is completely failed, especially for Huang Zicheng, which means that he may have to lose all his life.

Li Jie tasted the tea, then put down the teacup and looked at Huang Zicheng and smiled, "Shishou, there is actually one thing I want to ask you long ago, do you think you are smart or stupid?"

"Is the prince-consort making fun of Huang?" Huang Zicheng's face turned cold when he heard Li Jie's words. He immediately suppressed his anger and asked, "Soldiers can be killed or humiliated." Although he lost to Li Jie today, he was not willing to let the other party be humiliated like this.

"No, no, no, Mr. Huang, don't misunderstand me. I really don't mean to humiliate you, but some of your practices are really ridiculous. For example, you just now wanted to cause trouble in the capital to distract the court. If I didn't find you today, would you really plan to do this?" Li Jie also showed a curious look at the end of his speech.

Huang Zicheng saw that Li Jie did not seem to really want to humiliate him. But when he said that at the end, his eyes looked at him with a sympathy, which made him angry and immediately said angrily: "Why, is the prince consort afraid that I will do that?"

"Scared?" Li Jie was speechless when he heard this, and then shook his head and explained helplessly, "No, I am not afraid, but I am puzzled by Mr. Huang's actions. If I didn't find you today, it means that I don't know whether Your Highness has escaped from the capital. You should understand this, right?"

"Of course!" Huang Zicheng snorted coldly. He was not a fool, so he could figure it out.

"Very good. If I don't know if Your Highness escaped from the capital, I will definitely be messed up, and then I will send people everywhere to find out your whereabouts. But if you make trouble everywhere in the capital at this time, isn't it clear that your Highness hasn't escaped from the capital at all, so you need to make trouble everywhere to distract us?" Li Jie asked with a smile.

As soon as Li Jie said that, Huang Zicheng was stunned. He didn't consider this. Zhu Yunwen next to him was also stunned. He thought Huang Zicheng's plan was quite good before, but now after Li Jie's analysis, he just didn't ask for help, and he would fall into danger because of this.

Looking at Huang Zicheng who was stunned, Li Jie also smiled secretly. Huang Zicheng is indeed well-known. Whether in history or now, he can only give Zhu Yunwen some bad ideas. However, Zhu Yunwen himself was also stupid and completely believed Huang Zicheng's words, and finally lost his great country.

However, Li Jie did not intend to let the two people on the other side go, but he turned to Zhu Yunwen again and smiled: "Your Highness, you have been hiding in the city for so long, it must be very hard!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Yunwen made a look of unyielding expression, and even turned his head to look at Li Jie.

"Your Highness, you actually had the chance to escape from the capital. If I were yours, you would even be 80% sure to escape from the capital!" Li Jie smiled calmly and said again.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Jie said, Zhu Yunwen immediately turned his head, but then he made a disbelief expression and said, "You are so light. We have worked hard for so long, but we only found the opportunity today, but we were still blocked by you, so how could we escape?"

"That's because your highness is surrounded by people like Huang Shilang. If I had planned it for you from the beginning, the situation would be completely different!" Li Jie smiled again.

"Mr. Concubine, what do you want to say? I admit that I am not as good as you, but you don't have to humiliate me like this, right?" Huang Zicheng couldn't help but say angrily again when he heard this. Li Jie's words just now hit him deeply, but even so, he still refused to believe that Li Jie had a way to let Zhu Yunwen escape from the capital.

"I'm not in the mood to humiliate you, but your performance is indeed too disappointing!" Li Jie shook his head at Huang Zicheng, then looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "In fact, the best time for Your Highness to escape from the capital is the day when the late emperor passed away and His Majesty had just ascended the throne, but Your Highness believed others' words and hid in the capital for so long, giving me time to deal with it calmly. And the longer the time delayed, the less likely your Highness would be to escape."

"Impossible! On the day of the father's death, you blocked the entire city with General Lan early. How could I escape?" Zhu Yunwen said angrily again when he heard this. In fact, if it weren't for Li Jie's words, he might not have to escape at all, but could have been openly fighting with Zhu Yunxi for the throne.

"Your Highness is wrong. Although I blocked the entire city that day, it was also the most chaotic situation in the capital. It was precisely because Your Majesty and I couldn't grasp the situation at that time that we could only take the risk of asking General Lan to mobilize the army and use his troops to intimidate the entire city, so that His Majesty could successfully ascend the throne. If Your Majesty took advantage of the chaos to leave the city, we would not have time to react."

Li Jie finally showed a helpless look. The situation at that time was too chaotic. If Zhu Yunwen was more decisive, he might not have bothered to arrest the other party. Maybe Zhu Yunwen would really escape to Nanjing smoothly, and it would be troublesome at that time.

"The prince-consort is really a hindsight. Tell me, with the situation that day, how can Your Highness leave the city? If there is a way to leave the city, do we still have to take such a big risk to hide Your Highness in the city?" Huang Zicheng also asked with a sneer on his face.

Faced with Huang Zicheng's doubts, Li Jie finally looked at him and smiled: "If I were Minister Huang, after sending His Highness out of the imperial city that day, he would immediately join forces with others, and then attack Your Majesty and me, questioning the will of the crown prince. At that time, not only will the court be in chaos, but even the army and the people will be in chaos because of this."

Li Jie paused for a moment and then said, "For you at that time, the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it is. Only by muddling a pool of water will you be more convenient for you to catch up with troubled waters. In this chaos, sending Your Highness out of the city is actually not a difficult task!"

At the end of his speech, Li Jie looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile. Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Yes, why didn't we expect it at that time?"

"It's not that your highness, you didn't expect it, but that Mr. Huang and others dare not do it at all!" Li Jie smiled and corrected Zhu Yunwen. He had seen through Huang Zicheng and others long ago, so saying so much today is to make the other party lose clearly!
