Chapter 668: A Game Within a Game

"Their ambitions are well known, but unfortunately my father is not a cowardly and incompetent Emperor Wei. Li Ke sneered.

"Your father is afraid that he started to deal with the Xiao family a long time ago. Jiang Chengzi said.

"My grandfather had already set out to deal with the so-called noble clan. On that occasion, the nobles did everything they could to discredit my grandfather, and then rebelled. Before my grandfather knew the limit, he had a codex and a letter to my father. That codex was the twenty ways to cut down the family of the family drawn up by my grandfather. And tell my father: The children of the Yang family are weak and unbearable in the world, and I hope that my son-in-law will rule the world and treat my daughter well. As for the scholars, slowly figure it out. Li Ke took a sip of broth and told what she knew about history that had never happened.

"What? Your grandfather once wrote such a new to your father?" Jiang Chengzi was so surprised that his chopsticks fell.

Li Ke glanced at her and said, "It's true." ”

"It's, it's, it's really peculiar. Jiang Chengzi couldn't find any words to describe it, he just felt that his father had studied the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties for so many years, and he would definitely not have thought that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would have such a coquettish operation.

"No one in the world would have thought of it. Li Ke also smiled and said, "My grandfather and grandmother are not ordinary people, and what they see and think is not what ordinary people can think of." ”

"Your father was not a mortal man. Jiang Chengzi said.

"I don't know. Li Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I've never seen him clearly." ”

"Maybe it's because of the proximity. Jiang Chengzi bit the crunchy pickled radish and comforted the depressed Li Ke.

"Perhaps. Li Ke didn't want to say much about Li Shimin, so he only lowered his head and ate seriously.

Jiang Chengzi also ate seriously, and when he finished eating, the two drank tea and chatted. Li Kecai said: "The matter of the orphan shelter has been reported to the imperial court. However, the other two sides have not moved, and my people are closely monitoring, waiting for the opportunity, and then taking it in one fell swoop, so as to ensure that Xiao Shi will not be able to turn over. ”

"There must be a lot of things of this nature in the country, right?" Jiang Chengzi felt very uncomfortable when he thought of those pickled things. After all, the men who were playing in the Qinglou or the palace were adults, but the orphan shelter was still a child. Those people were mad.

"Those who know me, Ah Zhi. Li Ke laughed.

"Did you send someone to investigate?" Jiang Chengzi asked directly.

"Heaven must not be divulged. Li Ke leaned over and whispered.

As he approached, a fresh fragrance spread around. Jiang Chengzi only felt flustered, and hurriedly excused himself to say that it was windy, and got up to close the window, which could be regarded as calming a flustered heart. She secretly scolded herself for being really unproductive, and she wanted to be a female pervert more and more.

"Ah Zhi, there is another unexpected catch this time. Li Ke said suddenly.

Jiang Chengzi hurriedly turned to look at him and asked, "What kind of surprise?"

"I met an acquaintance at the small house. Li Ke said proudly.

"Ahh

"You're thinking too much. Li Ke glanced at her.

"Then how can you be an acquaintance again?" Jiang Chengzi just finished asking, and immediately thought of a possibility, couldn't help covering his mouth, and asked, "Could it be that the prince or the minister of the DPRK and the Central Government has this hobby and works in the small pavilion." ”

Jiang Chengzi thought about it, and at the same time made up the scene of the acquaintance Li Ke met in the small pavilion.

"You, don't be cranky. I met acquaintances from my previous life. Li Ke whispered.

"An acquaintance in a previous life?" Jiang Chengzi immediately sat down.

"Yes. Li Ke nodded, "That person's name is Xiangxin." ”

"Satisfied?" Jiang Chengzi felt that this name was really familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

Li Ke reminded: "Cheng Qian's male favorite, his father killed him, and the gap between Cheng Qian and his father is deepening. ”

Jiang Chengzi was reminded by Li Ke, and suddenly realized, remembering this secret history about Li Chengqian, he said that Li Chengqian is a good man, and he loves men and pets. was later exposed by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin was furious and gave death to his heart. Li Chengqian held a grudge because of this. And because Li Tai was quite favored and often provoked, Li Chengqian was afraid that the crown prince's position would not be guaranteed, so he quietly prepared to rebel. Later, the fifth prince Li You, who was "not enough to succeed and more than to lose", rebelled, and then involved the prince's rebellion.

Subsequently, Li Chengqian was exiled. Everyone who participated in the rebellion in the East Palace was killed.

"I remember that Arino Shi said that Xiangxin was originally a little maid in Princess Gaoyang's mansion. The prince looked at Shu Tan, and then asked to go. I don't want such a chilling thing to happen to my parents later. Jiang Chengzi said.

"In my previous life, I didn't have much friendship with Cheng Qian. He is also wary of me everywhere, but he is most wary of Li Tai. I know a thing or two about satisfying my heart. At first, it was indeed a small servant in Princess Gaoyang's mansion. As for the originβ€”β€”, I haven't delved into it. However, when I saw it this time, I naturally took a closer look. This is really thought-provoking. "Li Ke deliberately sold Guanzi.

Jiang Chengzi was listening energetically, but he didn't say anything. She pouted and complained, "Don't hang your appetite like this." ”

"If you call your husband, I'll tell you. Li Ke suddenly had the idea of teasing her.

Jiang Chengzi pursed her lips, Li Ke thought she was going to say something to refute, but he didn't want her to purse his lips and shouted: "Husband." ”

This cry was lingering and compassionate, and Li Ke suddenly looked at her like a lightning strike.

Jiang Chengzi was uncomfortable, lowered his head, and said coquettishly: "You let you call, I called you, and you didn't say it." It's not trustworthy. ”

"Ah Zi. Li Ke chuckled and sighed.

"Do you want to say it?" Jiang Chengzi screamed, he had already felt flustered, where did he dare to continue this topic, so he didn't follow him and said the following, so as not to continue to discuss "husband" or something.

Li Ke also took advantage of the situation to continue the previous topic, saying: "This satisfied father was originally a descendant of Prince Yin's old department. ”

"Huh, is that little pavilion actually the handiwork of Prince Yin? not the Xiao family?" Jiang Chengzi was full of questions.

Li Ke said: "The small pavilion, the green building, and the ** institute are all the handiwork of the Xiao family. However, after the Xuanwu Gate, these traitors saw the ambitions of the Xiao family. It is also hidden in it, so as to do the business of 'praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind'. The Shaw paved the way for them to deal with my father and my brothers, and at this time, the Hidden Prince and his party exposed the Shaw. That Xiao will definitely die. My grandfather is still alive, and the heirs to the throne must be the descendants of the Li family, not to mention that they still hold the handle of the ministers in their hands. Oh, this descendant of the Li family is not in our vein. This is really not an ordinary sinister intention. This time, if I hadn't seen this satisfaction, I wouldn't have been able to dig out the deeds of this hidden prince's old department. ”

"Didn't you say that all the five sons of Jiancheng were executed, and Li Yuanji's descendants were also killed by the Xuanwu Sect?

"It is true that the five sons of Jiancheng were punished, but they still have the sons of concubines. Li Yuanji has a son, and Li Jiancheng also has several sons who are on the run. This matter is a state secret, and very few people know about it. Even my grandfather didn't know. Li Ke replied.

Jiang Chengzi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, why do you tell me." ”

"I spoil my daughter-in-law. Li Ke said righteously.

"Haha, after getting married, I want the whole Chang'an to know, you are afraid of guilt. Jiang Chengzi smiled proudly.

"Don't go to Chang'an, you have to know all over the world. Li Ke laughed.

"You're being abused. Jiang Chengzi's eyes were shining and smiling.

Li Ke looked at her, and only felt that under the candle flame, her smile and smile made people's hearts flutter and move stupidly. He wondered when his self-control had become so bad.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chengzi didn't know why, but when he saw him frowning slightly, he stepped forward and asked softly.

Li Ke only felt that the air moved, and where his clothes were flying, he secretly wanted to float. He couldn't help but step back and whispered, "Ah Zi, I-"

His voice was hoarse, and Jiang Chengzi immediately heard the meaning of lust, and he was too ashamed to do it, so he only lowered his head.

The atmosphere was awkward, and there was a moment of silence. Jiang Chengzi said to change a pot of water and make tea again. Li Ke said that the house was too stuffy, so he opened a window. In this way, the two of them each made an excuse and finally calmed down.

When I sat down again, there was a pot of black tea, and the tea mist was swirling in the room. Li Ke leaned against the window on the soft couch and looked at Jiang Chengzi, who was seriously making tea, and thought, "It would be nice if time passed like this." ”

However, the most ruthless thing in the world is time, and the most domineering thing is time. It never does what people want.

Before they finished their cup of tea, Chai Lingwu came to visit. Chai Lingwu was dressed in white, and his gestures were less ruffian, and he turned out to be the appearance of a noble son.

"Tsk, it's different. Li Ke also teased him.

Chai Lingwu, who was holding a cup of tea, glanced at Li Ke: "I'm not me yet?"

"No. Once upon a time, you came to drink tea, and you sat down with no etiquette at all. Today, it's much more dignified. Li Ke laughed.

Chai Lingwu didn't care about Li Ke's teasing, and said very seriously: "People always have to grow up. ”

"Hahaha, one of the four sons of Chang'an, the second son of Chai, you actually told me this. Li Ke laughed.

Chai Lingwu ignored him and said directly to Jiang Chengzi: "At dusk today, Your Majesty summoned me and rewarded me. ”

"You are not allowed an official position?" Jiang Chengzi hurriedly asked.

"Alas, yes. Chai Lingwu sighed.

"Okay, you're still sighing, what's the matter? The official position is not as good as you expected?" Jiang Chengzi asked as he refilled his glass.

Chai Lingwu drank a cup of tea in one gulp before he said with little interest: "I'm not interested in being an official, my good sister." ”

"But you want to marry Changle. Jiang Chengzi pointed out this reality.

"Alas. Chai Lingwu sighed shortly.

"Come on, if you don't want to marry, you can go and resign from Your Majesty's office. Li Ke fell into the well.

"You are only allowed to be paired with Ah Zhi, and I am not allowed to be happy? Li Laosan, you are too boring. Chai Lingwu glanced at it.

"You can't have both, don't say it's useless. Li Ke pouted.

Chai Lingwu glanced at Li Ke, no longer paying attention to him, but approached Jiang Chengzi and asked with a smile: "Ah Zi, you have a good brain, help me think about what official position is suitable for me." ”

"This β€”β€”, doesn't seem to have one. Jiang Chengzi was very embarrassed to answer.

Chai Lingwu began to sigh again, Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke looked at each other, crying and laughing. Fortunately, Chai Lingwu sighed for a while, and said that there were Dugumou, Changsun Jun, Fang Zhizhi and Fang Yiai brothers who went to be enshrined together today.

"You four sons of Chang'an have finally done a good thing. Li Ke quipped.

"Well, it was my brother who took the lead and made a bet with them. They're here. Chai Lingwu said proudly.

"You can't lose this hand, you can't lose it alone. Li Ke admired in surprise.

Chai Lingwu nodded proudly and said, "Of course, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high." A single loss is not as good as a many. ”

"Then they also promised to be officials?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Chai Lingwu talked about the situation in the court at that time. Fang Zhizhi directly resigned from the reward, and only said that it should be. However, I have to study for another two years, and I want to work in the Ministry of Engineering or the Academy of Things. Fang Yiai only said that he still had to train in the army for a few more years, and his current strength was not enough to hold any position. However, Fang Yiai asked to follow Cheng Huailiang.

"Huh, this kid actually wants to follow Cheng Huailiang and not follow Cheng Chumo?" Li Ke was very surprised.

"Yes. Cheng Huailiang is known for his rigorous management of the army and his rigidity. It's not the same way as General Cheng. Fang Yiai is under his hands, and he has to take off his skin a few times. Chai Lingwu also said.

"Why didn't you ask?" Li Ke asked.

"Asked. He said that people always have to grow up. Chai Lingwu said very seriously.

Li Ke squirted out with a sip of water: "Dare to love you, what Fang Yiai said." ”

"I think so too, okay?" Chai Lingwu said very seriously.

"Okay, okay, you have a high consciousness. What about Dugu Mou and Changsun Jun?" Li Ke continued to ask.

"Dugu Mou is not rewarded, and when he talks about his duties, he knows that he wants to experience a few years. As for the eldest grandson, because he went to the Turks with you, he has now made meritorious contributions, made a general, and asked His Majesty to go to Xiazhou to defend the town. In a few days, it is estimated that the journey will be. This eldest grandson's request was really surprising, and I was surprised when I looked at Uncle Guo. Chai Lingwu said.

"He is a sharp sword of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he actually went to Xiazhou. Jiang Chengzi was also surprised.

Li Ke knew that the eldest grandson finally chose his own path. When he leaves, he basically doesn't care about family affairs. After that, he earned all the merits for the future.

"He's got the courage. Li Ke said slowly.

"Yes. This is the best way for him. Chai Lingwu said.

"The current style of the eldest grandson is simply dead. As soon as he left like this, he made meritorious contributions, and only then did he really protect the Changsun family. Li Ke said.

Chai Lingwu nodded, and then said slowly: "After these few days, I may have to deal with the eldest grandson clan." ”

"Don't act rashly. After two days, I will see Cheng Qian. Li Ke stopped.

"Hmm. Chai Lingwu nodded, and then, he solemnly said to Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi, "I don't want to accept His Majesty's Xu Guan now, I still want to do my own industry." But I have come to you today because I have one thing to ask for. ”
