I Have Awakened The Deduction System

208 Chapter 208, The Mysterious Bronze Fragment

At this moment, He Chuan had already returned to his residence. He waved his hand to set up a barrier and then played with the bronze fragment in his hand.

The fragment was as big as a basin, but it weighed 500 kilograms in his hand.

Ordinary people couldn’t take it out at all, so it was obviously not an ordinary item.

The words “Yangzhou” were carved on it in ancient Chinese characters!

Yangzhou? i????????re????????. ????????m

He Chuan couldn’t figure out what it was for a while, but it should be related to some treasure he was looking for.

This fragment was obviously only a small part of it. He would probably have to collect all the fragments to figure out what it was.

Now that one of them had fallen into his hands, no matter what the other party was plotting, they would have to go through him first.

Otherwise, it would be not easy to achieve.

He carefully kept the fragment.

Knock knock knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

He picked up the “Taixuan Scripture” to read and removed the enchantment.

After getting his permission, Lia pushed the door open.

“Master, I feel that the Eldest Princess and the First Prince must have some unspeakable secret. They’re both very mysterious!” Lia sat beside He Chuan obediently and massaged his shoulders.

“Oh!” He Chuan was obviously not interested in the secret between the Eldest Princess and the First Prince.

And now, he had a rough idea of their purpose.

“Master, aren’t you interested in their secrets? What if it’s a treasure that’s as rich as a country’s or a supreme-grade cultivation manual? We’ll suffer a great loss if we don’t get involved.” Lia’s eyes darted around. Although she could not figure out the other party’s plan, she felt that everything would be fine if He Chuan were involved.

“I’m not interested. It’s more interesting to watch the rich man’s concubine quarrel next door.” He Chuan’s eyes were fixed on the Taixuan Scripture, and his tone did not fluctuate at all.

However, what he said was true. He had just released his divine sense, and when he passed by a luxurious mansion not far away, he happened to hear the quarrel of two concubines of the wealthy merchant.

The two of them were cursing so badly that even the palace fighting dramas on TV were inferior.

He even listened to it for a long time.

“Ah!” Lia was dumbfounded. She did not expect that her Master, who was usually indifferent to everything, liked to listen to concubines quarrel and was not even interested in treasures or cultivation manuals.

She had a trick up her sleeve but had no place to use it.

She didn’t know how to pique He Chuan’s interest. The Eldest Princess and the First Prince were both on the move, so wouldn’t she fall behind?

“Then what about me becoming the female King?” Anyway, Lia knew that He Chuan supported her in becoming a female King, so she did not try to hide it.

“Fighting is fighting, not fighting is fighting!” He Chuan said as he knocked Lia’s head.

This made Lia even more dumbfounded. The culture of the Central Plains was extensive and profound, and she could not react in time.

What is fighting is fighting?

“Although you desire to fight, you can’t let anyone know about it, and you can’t let your desire drive you to action. The last sentence, ‘not fighting is fighting’, means that you have hidden your desire to fight, but you have to take action to create a favorable environment so that you can get what you want without fighting for it.”

He Chuan’s words implied that Lia was still not shrewd enough. It would be fine if she just sat and watched the Eldest Princess and the First Prince fight.

Tetumtan was not dead yet.

It was useless to act so anxiously. The more anxious you were, the more likely you would make mistakes. By then, you would leave a bad impression on Tetumtan.

It was not beneficial to the battle for the position of the khan.

Next, he told Lia the story of Zhou Shimin’s fight for the throne, letting her understand how Zhou Shimin, who was not an optimistic Fifth Prince, eventually became the Emperor.

At that time, Zhou Shimin was a man who did not do any proper work. He had nothing to do all day. Other than reciting poems, he would go to the library to read.

As a result, the other brothers looked down on Zhou Shimin, thinking he didn’t even have the right to compete for the throne.

At the same time, it also made everyone lower their guard.

The Late Emperor naturally saw all of this, but he did not say anything.

The previous nine Princes’ battles for the throne had given the Late Emperor a huge headache. The back of his hand and the palm of his hand were both flesh. They were all his children, so how could he not feel heartache?

However, the royal family was like this. In the end, there was only one person who could sit on the throne.

The Late Emperor wanted to observe this group of sons while he was still alive.

Although Zhou Shimin wasn’t cut out to be an Emperor, he was still well-liked by the Late Emperor. Because he didn’t compete for anything, he naturally gave the Late Emperor less of a headache.

He was cautious in everything and was good at reading people’s expressions. Sometimes, he would even put in a good word for the Crown Prince, thus winning the good reputation of “to be highly principled.”

In front of everyone, he did not reveal his sharp edge and deeply hid his thoughts about fighting for the throne. However, he secretly sent his hangers-on to lobby everywhere, widely making friends with ministers and famous people, and was ready to seize power.

Ultimately, he stood out from his nine brothers and finally won the throne.

Lia’s mouth was agape, her eyes filled with adoration. Although the Xiongnu Tribe was hostile to the Zhou Dynasty, it did not stop her from adoring Zhou Shimin.

“While your King Father is still alive, everything is unknown. You need to play the role of a caring little daughter! “He Chuan picked up the fragrant tea beside him and took a sip.

He was actually very impressed with Zhou Shimin.

To seize the throne under such difficult circumstances was not something anyone could do.

“What if my King Father doesn’t pass the throne to me in the end?” Lia asked after some thought.

Because she felt that the competition on the grassland was different from that of the Central Plains. Her father still preferred the wolf’s nature.

If she continued to play the role of a naive girl, she might eventually lose the right to inherit the throne.

“Haha, you can’t possibly think that the throne was actually passed to him in the end, right?” He Chuan asked, amused.

“He’s working so hard. Why doesn’t he pass it to him?” Lia was shocked once again. She felt it was only suitable to pass it on to Zhou Shimin.

Could it be that things were not as she thought?

“I see that your little head is very smart, and your strength is not bad. Why don’t you have confidence?” He Chuan asked.

The smart Lia immediately understood the logic behind this. Zhou Shimin was indeed outstanding, but other brothers were even more outstanding.

However, the person the Late Emperor was least guarded against was Zhou Shimin. Moreover, no matter whether the Imperial Edict was real or fake, everyone would think it was real because the Late Emperor deeply loved Zhou Shimin.

The truth was Zhou Shimin had colluded with Fang Yuanqing and Qin Yuntian to falsify the Edict and ascend to the throne.

If Lia became the favorite Princess of Tetumtan, it would be reasonable to win over Tetumtan’s most trusted subjects.

In the end, because of the side they were on, no matter who took over the position, they would find a way to change it to Lia.

“I understand, Master. Thank you for your help.” Lia said happily.

The best decision she had ever made in her life was to take He Chuan as her Master.

“It’s good that you understand. From tomorrow onwards, you have to study more. You have to learn the four arts!” He Chuan continued to study the supreme mystery sutra.

When she heard that she had to study, as well as learn the four arts, Lia’s little head immediately felt a headache.

“Master, can you change the condition? I want to practice martial arts!” She quickly acted coquettishly.

“No! The more books you read, the more you will understand.” He Chuan wouldn’t change his mind just because she was acting coquettishly.
