Chapter 415: Li Ke stays in Beijing
Chapter 415
Wei Hao and Li Lizhen had dinner in Juxian Building, talking about Li Chengqian's affairs now, Wei Hao said that he couldn't help Li Chengqian now, Li Lizhen was also surprised, and then sat there and pondered.
"What do you mean by my father? Doing this, I don't care about the relationship between father and son, my eldest brother can't be the same as my father! Li Lizhi looked up at Wei Hao helplessly and asked.
"But he's also worried that it's not, the emperor is alone, and he has already made a decision, so ah, the matter of the eldest brother, we can only watch it in the future, and we can't help! My father also warned me, not letting me help my eldest brother, saying that he wanted to temper him, temper it, anyway, it's their father and son's business, I don't care, it's too much, it's troublesome! Wei Hao sat there and said with a wry smile.
"Forget it, when the third brother gets married, we will get married next year, and when the time comes, I will hand over all the royal affairs, I don't care, I still take care of our family's own affairs, looking at the royal things, I am upset, and now the princess still thinks that I am authoritarian, and thinks that I don't give it to her, I don't give it to her, give it to her, she won't go, let the people below go to the East Palace to report, like words? What is the East Palace? How could those people be able to appear in the East Palace?
Besides, this is a business, if you don't go by yourself, you can grasp the actual situation of the workshop, the profit in it is amazing, if the people below mess up, how much will you lose? I took her and she said something? And then there are still opinions on me, you look at it, when we get married, I don't care who lets me take care of it! Li Lizhi sat there and complained.
"Is this the case with the crown princess?" Wei Hao heard it and looked at Li Lizhen in surprise.
"It's not, my sister-in-law, is not atmospheric enough, and does things, very unthoughtful, some time ago, let her eldest brother go to the porcelain workshop for that batch of goods, you say take it, I don't have any opinion, after all, it is the crown princess is her own brother, it is right to make some money for him, the result is good, it was sold before it left Chang'an City, and it made less than half of the profit,
Doesn't he know that these porcelains out of Chang'an City, at least one percent of the profits, although three or five hundred miles outside, Li Rui is more than thirty percent, if it is transported to the north, the profits will be doubled, you say, ha, I really don't know what he thinks, wasting such an opportunity! Li Lizhi sat there crying and laughing.
"Maybe her eldest brother doesn't have that much capital and needs a quick turnaround!" Wei Hao smiled and said.
"Hmph, no, the money has already been given to the workshop, just transport it out, and, you know? The second time, he also brought other people to the workshop, saying that he wanted porcelain, I ignored him, such a thing, two people can trade, he also brought people, you let other merchants see, how to look at me, how to see our porcelain workshop,
Later, I guess I went to find my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law didn't dare to come to me, but she definitely had an opinion on me, and the queen mother was also eccentric, so she was biased towards the sister-in-law, and wanted to hand over everything to the sister-in-law, and it was a good thing to hand it over to the sister-in-law. Li Lizhi continued to complain.
"This kind of thing, don't worry about it, don't care about her, I still want you to manage the affairs of the family, after all, our family also has such a workshop, and we have to get a few workshops, but I really don't have that time, when I get married, let's get it!" Wei Hao sat there and said with a wry smile.
"Shen Yong, I'll tell you!" Li Lizhi suddenly whispered to Wei Hao.
"What's wrong!" Wei Hao didn't understand why she was so mysterious.
"I feel that my sister-in-law will do bad things sooner or later, unless she says that she is talented, otherwise sooner or later she will hurt her eldest brother!" Li Lizhen said to Wei Hao.
"Can't you?" Wei Hao heard it and looked at Li Lizhen in shock.
"Definitely, although it looks very atmospheric on the surface, in fact, it is very stingy on the inside! Compared with the queen mother, it is far worse, although the queen mother is sometimes stingy, but to divide people, she may not understand! Li Lizhi continued to say mysteriously.
"Well, I guess it will grow, after all, people have never experienced such a thing before!" Wei Hao thought about it for a moment and spoke.
"I hope so, but if the eldest brother is the emperor and the sister-in-law is the queen, if this is still the case, our life will definitely not be easy!" Li Lizhi said worriedly.
"Eh, no matter what happens to her, who knows what will happen in the future!" Wei Hao waved his hand, not wanting to say this, and then said to Li Liqian: "How do you feel about your third brother?" β
When Li Lizhen heard this, she stared at Wei Hao.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking!" Wei Hao immediately said to Shen Yong.
"Amazing, better than the eldest brother, but, it's a pity that not many people support him, if there are more people who support him, the third brother will definitely be better than the eldest brother, and besides, the father also praises him!" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and said,
Wei Hao heard it, nodded, and was worried in his heart, if this is the case, then I really don't know who will sit in the world in the future, although Li Ke's grandfather is Emperor Yang of Sui, but this is just an excuse, if Li Shimin really wants him to be, these are not problems, and even, the queen's side is not a problem, for the emperor, family affection can never become a stumbling block for them.
"What, my father belongs to the third brother?" Li Lizhi stared at Wei Hao and asked.
"I don't know now, but there must be a meaning to cultivate, and the green finch, well, is not very useful now! The father still looks down on him, of course, the father likes him, but he likes his ability in learning, and other abilities are still not good! Wei Hao shook his head and said, no one knew what Li Shimin was planning.
And at this moment, in the Wu Wangfu, Li Ke sat in the study, and there were two people standing next to him, one Dugu Jiayong, the representative task of the Dugu family in the court, is now a member of the Zhongshu House, and the other is Yang Xuegang, of which Yang Xuegang is the leader of the Yang family, and now serves as a servant of the Ministry of Officials.
"Your Highness, this time you suddenly came back just for the wedding?" Dugu Jiayong looked at Li Ke and asked.
"Well, that's what my father's edict says, however, this king will also wonder why it will be so fast, I originally thought that I would definitely not receive the edict until the ninth month of the lunar calendar, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Li Ke also nodded and said.
"Your Highness, in this way, Your Majesty has ideas! Is it possible for Your Majesty to keep you in Chang'an all the time? It would be good if you could stay in Chang'an, it would be best to hold some positions, Your Highness, now you should seek the position of the court, if you have a position, you will not leave Chang'an City! In this way, Your Highness will also be able to show your talents to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty see your abilities! Dugu Jiayong thought about it for a while and said to Li Ke.
"Hold a position, this, is it appropriate for the prince to hold a position in the court?" When Li Ke heard it, his heart moved, and he immediately asked the two of them.
"Of course it is appropriate, and there is no provision that the prince cannot be held, although the prince wants to be a domain, but if there is a position, he will not be a domain, and, I estimate, the king of Yue will definitely not go to the domain, the king of Yue is deeply loved by His Majesty, and it is the queen's mother, so the willingness of the domain is very low, he is not a domain, then Your Highness, you don't have to go!" Yang Xuegang immediately said to Li Ke.
Li Ke heard it, frowned and said, "But the blue finch is not crowned!" β
"At the end of the year, it will be crowned, sooner or later, Your Highness, this matter, Your Highness can test His Majesty to see if he can serve as an official position in Chang'an Mansion, I heard that the crown prince serves as the palace Yin, and Shaoyin doesn't know who it is now, I think, Your Highness, you can go to serve as Shaoyin!" Yang Xuegang said to Li Ke.
"Yes, Your Highness, you can serve as Shaoyin, as long as you govern Wannian County and Chang'an County well, and now the county order of Wannian County is Wei Hao, Wannian County is now very well governed, and Chang'an County is not bad now, the court has taken a lot of money in the past, in fact, Chang'an Mansion doesn't have to do anything, you can govern the county below, but this is Your Highness, you have a real credit!" Dugu Jiayong also nodded and said to Li Ke.
"This, hehe, I'm afraid not, Shao Yin has already decided, eh, if we find out for two days, we can all take it, but now, we can't take it!" Li Ke heard it, and said with a wry smile, Shao Yin is Wei Hao, he really doesn't dare to snatch Wei Hao's position, although he knows that if he says hello to Wei Hao in advance, maybe Wei Hao won't be angry, but his father will definitely not let him go easily.
"Someone? Who is it? Yang Xuegang looked at Li Ke in surprise and asked.
"I can't tell you who it is now, this is just the result of the negotiation between my father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the young Yin of Chang'an Mansion will definitely not work!" Li Ke shook his head and said.
"Xia Guogong Wei Hao?" Dugu Jiayong looked at Li Ke and asked,
Li Ke immediately turned his head to look at him, not knowing how he guessed.
"It seems that I am right, it is really him, Your Majesty really still attaches great importance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and also attaches importance to Wei Hao, and wants to cultivate the two of them at the same time! However, Shao Yin has two! Dugu Jiayong immediately said to Li Ke.
"Oh, Shao Yin has two?" Li Ke heard it, looked at him in surprise and asked.
"Yes, there are two to be set up! And His Majesty will definitely set up two, do you think, the prince is the palace Yin, it is impossible to manage the affairs of Chang'an Mansion, it is said that it is necessary to set up Shaoyin, and Shaoyin must have two, otherwise, someone will deceive the prince in the future and will not know, although His Majesty has great trust in Wei Hao, but this is a problem of the system, the current Wei Hao is trustworthy, but what about the future Shaoyin, is it worth trusting?
Therefore, Your Majesty will definitely set up two young Yin, Your Highness, you should hurry up and go to Your Majesty and give this matter a conclusion! Dugu Jiayong suggested to Li Ke.
Li Ke heard it, a little hesitant, I don't know if I can do it, after all, I want to stay in the capital and fight with the prince for ideas, I have always been in my heart, I have always been unconvinced by Li Chengqian, it is nothing more than two years better than myself, plus it is the eldest grandson Empress said that he was born, but in terms of bloodline, he Li Chengqian is far worse than himself, and he is the most suitable person to be the emperor,
However, now that Li Shimin is too strong, coupled with the presence of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson queen, he does not dare to come out at all, once he emerges, the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely clean himself up ruthlessly, although he is a prince, but the real influence in the court is not as good as the eldest grandson Wuji.
Li Ke looked at the two of them and asked hesitantly, "Can it really work?" β
"Your Highness, it can be done, whether it works or not, you need to test it, if Your Majesty agrees, it means that Your Majesty has the intention to keep you in Chang'an City, and I hope you will compete with the prince, but whether it is as the whetstone of the prince, or as a potential heir to cultivate, it is not a bad thing for Your Highness, now it is for Your Highness to take the initiative to ask, if Your Majesty does not agree, then forget it, and then think of a way, and I estimate that this time His Highness is very likely to stay!" Dugu Jiayong said to Li Ke.
"Hmm!" Li Ke stood up at this moment.
"If you can stay in the capital, Your Highness, you must have a good relationship with Wei Hao, if you have Wei Hao's support, then there is basically no problem, but it is impossible to get his support now, but once it comes to a critical time, as long as Wei Hao does not oppose you, it will be the greatest support for you!" Dugu Jiayong said to Li Ke, Li Ke nodded, of course he knew this, and he also knew Wei Hao's ability.
"Your Highness, without further ado, while Your Majesty has not yet decided, you'd better go to the Manna Hall and discuss this matter with Your Majesty!" Dugu Jiayong immediately said to Li Ke, and after Li Ke heard it, he nodded.
"In addition, there is one more thing, if I am not mistaken, the academy in Xicheng is now managed by Emperor Taishang and Wei Hao, although the two of them don't go to the academy much, but they are still responsible for specific things, so if you can convince Emperor Taishang to let him give you this position, it will be the best,
At that time, many of those Jinshiju people every year are your protΓ©gΓ©s, in this way, a few years later, those people will rise up, and it will be of great help to Your Highness! Yang Xuegang also suggested to Li Ke.
"Yes, this is a big deal, and there is also a matter of money, find a way to partner with Wei Hao to do something, if you can serve as the young Yin of Chang'an Mansion, then there must be a chance to do things with Wei Hao, that is, don't offend Wei Hao, although many ministers don't like Wei Hao now, but no one dares to deny Wei Hao's ability!" Dugu Jiayong immediately said to Li Ke.
"It's a bit early to say this now, let's wait until the matter of staying in Chang'an is settled, I'll go to the Ganlu Hall in the afternoon and ask my father!" Li Ke said as he stood there with his hands behind his back.
"Your Highness, if you can convince Wei Hao to stand on your side, it is true, the crown prince will be yours sooner or later, but unfortunately, he is married to Li Lizhen! He's definitely on the Prince's side! If the crown prince does something foolish, it will be good if he hurts Wei Hao's heart, and then Your Highness will have a chance. Dugu Jiayong said with emotion, thinking about how many things Li Ke could accomplish when Wei Hao was by Li Ke's side,
In the afternoon, Li Ke came to the Ganlu Hall to ask for a meeting, and after Li Shimin finished meeting the minister, he summoned him in.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.
"Father, son, now, well, how can I say it!" Li Ke stood there, touched his head, and said worriedly.
Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, then looked at Li Ke and said, "Just say something, don't be, when did you become like this?" β
"Yes, father, son-in-law thinks, it has been a lot of time since I got married, and now son-in-law actually has nothing to do, father, you won't let me go to paint the boat, and the son-in-law also feels that he always goes to paint the boat, and he can't do it, so he wants to learn some skills!" Li Ke said to Li Shimin.
"Learn the skill, learn what the skill, do, talk about it!" Li Shimin asked with interest, this kid really likes to go to the painting boat.
"Father, the son thinks that Wei Hao is very good at governing Wannian County, and the son wants to learn from him, and when the son returns to the fief in the future, he will be able to govern the people well, and ask his father for permission!" Li Ke said and bowed his hand to Li Shimin,
Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke, and then said with a smile: "Learn from Shenyong, Wannian County doesn't have any position now!" β
"Father, isn't it going to establish Chang'an Mansion? The prince's brother is the Fu Yin, Wei Hao is the Shao Yin, the son is really not good, and he should be a young Yin, the son believes that if he studies with Wei Hao for five years, he will definitely be able to learn good things! Li Ke deliberately said five years, and of course Li Shimin heard it.
"Well, it's okay to learn, my father is worried that you will take Shen Yong badly, you know, Shen Yong is very simple, but he has never been to the painting boat, you take him to the painting boat when the time comes, Li Zhen blames it, I tell you, she can blow up your Shu Wangfu!" Li Shimin smiled and touched his beard and said to Li Ke,
When Li Ke heard it, there was a play, and he immediately arched his hand to Li Shimin and said: "Father, don't worry, how can there be an uncle who takes his brother-in-law to the painting boat, and it is impossible for Erchen to take him there, but if he goes by himself, it will have nothing to do with Erchen, but Erchen will also try his best to hold him!" β
"Well, okay, just serve as Shaoyin, save you to play everywhere, and learn something!" Li Shimin nodded and said to Li Ke,
When Li Ke heard this, he was very excited, and immediately said to Li Shimin: "Father Xie, my sons must study hard!" β
"Well, the matter of Chang'an Mansion, listen to Shen Yong's advice, you, you still don't have much experience, don't look at Shen Yong and be the county magistrate of Wannian County for a few months. But the current situation in Wannian County, you also know, no one can have the ability to be Shen Yong, take a look at how Shen Yong does things, don't be a few years and learn nothing! Li Shimin said to Li Ke.
"Thank you, father, rest assured, the sons and daughters will not dare to slack off!" Li Ke was very excited and very positive,
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and then said: "Even in the next few days, it will be promulgated, these days, you are not allowed to go there, just in the house, at most, you will go out to eat, dare to go to the painting boat, I will take back the holy decree!" β
"Yes, father, the son remembers!" Li Ke immediately said with his hand, knowing in his heart that he was really going to stay in Beijing this time, and he also had the opportunity to compete with Li Chengqian for that position.
