The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 638: Subjugating Quan Wanji (Part )
"I know you will say that he will put the Li family first, that's for sure."

Li Yan smiled slightly, then shook his head: "But don't hope for the best. Concubine Yang of Ningxin Palace is the blood of Emperor Yang, and bears the pain of national hatred and family hatred. If Li Ke inherits the throne, Concubine Yang will be the high and mighty empress dowager, more honorable than the emperor."

"Can those who are hated by the Queen Mother be assured?"

hiss.
Quan Wanji took a deep breath. Yes, the logic here is obvious. Concubine Yang does not have the blood of the Li family. She must hate the Li family who replaced the Sui Dynasty. And how could she forget those old ministers of the Sui Dynasty who betrayed Yang Guang?

If her son were to take the throne, she would definitely take revenge on the Sui officials who had betrayed Yang Guang. Even if you say you won't, those with a guilty conscience won't believe you.

How could I have forgotten this? Even if there was no Changsun lineage, Li Ke's background was doomed. It would be extremely difficult for him to ascend to that position.

Thinking that he actually had to support such a person, and that the prince, whom he had met up close for the first time tonight, was not as gentle and kind, or dull-witted as rumored, after several conversations, Quan Wanji felt that the other party was clearly a scheming, cunning and treacherous little fox.

Thinking about the prince who always appeared mediocre and had a hidden talent, and then thinking about Li Ke who was straightforward and showed everything on his face, Quan Wanji shook his head.

She kept feeling lucky in her heart. Fortunately, this accident gave her a chance to make a new choice. No matter what, she must firmly grasp this opportunity to change her destiny and cling to the prince tightly.

Thinking of this, Quan Wanji no longer had any doubts and played the biggest card he knew to win the trust of the prince: "Your Highness, you don't know that Li Ke actually wanted to kill you and replace you."

"Oh?"

Li Yan knew that he was almost at the core, so he pretended to be shocked and said in disbelief, "There is such a thing, Wanji, tell me about it."

"Back then, Feng Deyi failed to assassinate the crown prince, so he came up with another plan."

Quan Wanji lowered his voice and said, "He took the opportunity to negotiate with Luo Yi and hinted that Luo Yi could take His Highness as a hostage to facilitate the negotiations between the two sides. In fact, he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let the ruthless Luo Yi get rid of His Highness."

"Later, somehow, Zhangsun Wuji got in touch with Yang Ji of the Yan Liao army and secretly planned to get rid of Luo Yi. Feng Deyi seemed to have noticed it at the time and was afraid that the night would be too long and there would be more trouble, so he went to the Shu King's Mansion overnight. I don't know what they talked about."

"Later, the King of Shu summoned Cheng Huailiang and had a secret talk with him for a while."

"Then Cheng Huailiang went to Jingzhou. At that time, Cheng Yaojin was leading a large army to monitor Luo Yi. Later, a grain robbery incident occurred, which almost angered Luo Yi and threatened the safety of His Highness. If Yang Jiji had not turned against him and eliminated Luo Yi, His Highness would most likely have died in that conflict."

"What? Li Ke is so cruel and crazy. He is worse than a beast. I thought he was my brother, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel and want to kill me!"

Li Yan was immediately furious. He kept pacing around in the cell, panting. He was obviously very angry. After cursing for a while, he said, "Fortunately, Li Ke was so heartless and abandoned you, so Cheng Qian had the opportunity to get a great talent like you, and to know that there were so many inside stories. If it weren't for you, Cheng Qian would have died in the hands of Li Ke, the villain, who knows when."

"Sir, you have saved my life!"

Li Yan shamelessly attributed the great favor of saving the emperor to Quan Wanji without hesitation, as if Quan Wanji had saved his life before he even came to him.

From a psychological perspective, this is also to increase the other party's loyalty to you. Since the other party has saved you, you just need to cherish it and continue to be loyal. When the day comes for rewards, you will naturally receive extra rewards and be regarded as a confidant by the other party.

Because it is common sense that people will undoubtedly be grateful to those who have saved them, and it is easier to establish a solid relationship of trust between people with this special relationship.

As expected, as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Quan Wanji's eyebrows lit up and he said modestly: "Your Highness really praised Wanji. Wanji will follow Your Highness wholeheartedly in the future, make new contributions, and swear to support Your Highness until his death, so that he can succeed to the throne smoothly and become a wise and holy ruler."

"Ok!"

Li Yan nodded, and said with a determined look: "I promise to God as the crown prince that as long as you don't let me down, I will not let you down."

After getting Li Yan's guarantee, Quan Wanji felt relieved. When he was about to say something, Li Yan suddenly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the table next to him. He poured some cold water from the teapot on the inkstone and ground it skillfully with his hands and feet.

"Sir, these things are very important. I have a bad memory and will forget them after a long time. I would like to trouble you to write them down, so that we can have some evidence?"

Quan Wanji was stunned for a moment. When he heard that it would be written in black and white on paper, he was a little scared and shuddered, muttering, "Don't you believe me, Your Highness?" "How can you say that?"

Li Yan kept moving, but his face was serious as he said, "Sir, you even told Cheng Qian such a secret thing, how can Cheng Qian not trust you?"

"Don't worry, sir. I won't hand these things over to His Majesty. Li Ke is a dead dog after tonight. It's up to me to decide when to get rid of him. But besides Li Ke, I have other brothers. If I get rid of one Li Ke, another one will pop up."

"So, from the beginning, I never thought of defeating him completely. Instead, I wanted to keep him and suppress the other brothers for me. And sir, your main direction of effort in the future is to help me direct Li Ke's attention to Li Tai, Li You, Li Zhi and others, delay their growth, and at the critical moment, you can drag them to destruction together."

Li Yan's words made Quan Wanji's eyes widen, his heart was in turmoil, and an expression of uncontrollable horror appeared on his face.

Damn, that’s so sinister. Who was it before?

They were so blind that they thought such a scheming, cunning, despicable and shameless prince was dull, simple-minded, stupid and gullible. If anyone mentioned it again, Quan Wanji would tear his mouth off. If he had known that the prince was so vicious, he would never dare to go against such a person.

The reason why he had acted so unscrupulously against the crown prince in the past was that he felt that the crown prince was too honest. Li Jiancheng was not as cunning as the current emperor, which was why he missed the throne.

As the saying goes, the devil is always one step ahead of the righteous. Quan Wanji looked at the man with a righteous face, speaking high-sounding words and arranging such matters calmly with an embarrassed look on his face.

In just a short while, he came up with such a sinister and vicious idea. He is simply a born villain, and the worst of all villains. I feel inferior to him.

At this point, as if afraid of scaring Quan Wanji, Li Yan smiled slightly, revealing a harmless smile on his face, and said with a sunny face: "Besides, this is also one of your achievements. Li Ke likes to take risks. Didn't he lose Cheng Huailiang this time?"

"If you are ever misled by Li Ke and something goes wrong, with these things, I will remember your loyalty to me and take care of your family to comfort you for your loyalty."

When Quan Wanji heard this, he felt completely disheartened.

So that's how it is. By now, he has figured it all out and understood all the prince's intentions and plans.

But at the same time, he was deeply in awe of Li Yan. The prince was young, but he was so secretive and experienced. Words were not enough. He was a spy lurking in the enemy camp. If things went on for a long time, he might not betray them. Even after he got over this hurdle, he might regret his actions tonight.

Therefore, the prince had to leave a letter of surrender, so that he could hold the lifeblood of both himself and Li Ke in his hands, so that he could employ himself with confidence without fear that he would betray him like he betrayed Li Ke.

Why.
Quan Wanji sighed dejectedly in his heart. Compared with the prince, Li Ke was still too young. The prince grasped the timing just right.

Take advantage of the situation when you are in the most dangerous and unstable situation.

He gave himself the opportunity to have the best of both worlds, but he was greedy and wanted to have the best of both worlds. As a result, he walked step by step into the other party's trap. At first, he laughed at the other party's young age and ignorance, but after he said something half-truthful, the other party really believed it.

It turned out that it was not that the other party was stupid, but that I was too foolish. The other party went with the flow, pretended to believe me, and pushed me step by step into the position of a loyal and filial son. In my carelessness, I revealed too many secrets bit by bit.

After the other party gets the things here, they will reveal their plan without any concealment, which is to let you sneak into Li Ke's side, draw Li Ke's attention to other princes on their behalf, and use Li Ke to eliminate future competitors.

Now that things have been discussed, if someone asks you to write down what you said, can you refuse?
If I regret it, I am afraid that according to the other party's scheming and ruthless means, I will commit suicide tonight. The other party can walk to my side when I am sleeping without paying attention to others, and naturally kill me silently in my sleep.

The most important thing is that his current situation is quite favorable, and it is reasonable for him to hang himself. Neither the ministers in the court nor the Shu King's family will have any suspicion, and they will not even conduct an investigation and will bury him.

Quan Wanji unconsciously glanced at the beam above his head, his heart trembled, he swallowed with a dry throat, and his heart was pounding.

Li Yan lowered his head and studied, but Quan Wanji's flickering and changing expression did not escape his observation. He said gently, "Sir, you are familiar with official documents. You should know that the monarch will not use you if he does not show favor, and will not be at ease if he does not have evidence against you."
