The two drank for a while, and after watching the wine and food for more than half of the time, Wang Ke knew that it was time to get to the point.

So he put down the wine in his hand and said to Li Ke solemnly: "Your Highness, the emperor is about to crown you king, I want to know what you think in your heart." It's been a few days since I returned to Datang, but if you want to count it, only you and Brother Cheng are closer. You and I are even more confidant, and we haven't hidden anything from each other on weekdays, and I hope Your Highness can tell the truth today. Ke can carefully weigh the gains and losses for His Highness. ”

Li Ke saw that Wang Ke had already mentioned the topic, and said solemnly: "Brother Wang's heart is keen, and Brother Wang can only bring up the problem, Ke knows that Brother Wang is for Ke's sake, and Ke will never hide anything." ”

Wang Ke nodded and said: "Your Highness, I am not qualified to comment on royal affairs, if it were someone else, I would definitely look at it coldly, and I would never ask a word." How can Naike and His Royal Highness have a friendship, quite a sense of seeing each other and hating each other, Ke dares to regard His Royal Highness as Ke's friend. For his friend Ke, I am willing to stick a knife in my ribs, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not know about today's affairs with a third party, otherwise it will definitely bring death to my Wang family. After all, it is a felony to form a party with the prince, and His Royal Highness should also know a thing or two about the background of my Wang family. ”

Li Ke smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "How can I not know the origin of your Wang family, although I was born in the emperor's family, I am actually very similar to your family, which may be one of the reasons why you and I can intersect." ”

Li Ke's origin, Wang Ke has long known it clearly from history books. Li Ke, the third son of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, his mother Yang, Li Shimin's concubine, and the princess of the former dynasty (Sui). It is precisely for this reason that Li Shimin loves and hates himself as a capable, knowledgeable, generous and strict person, and most like his son.

Needless to say, his own son is capable and strong, and he is like a mold carved out of himself in all aspects, no other prince can compare with him, and no one will dislike such a son. But precisely because Li Ke has the blood of the emperor of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin is really afraid, afraid that after a hundred years, this son with outstanding ability will change the dynasty and change the country he has worked so hard to return to the Great Sui.

He himself was snatched from his brother, and this shadow has been with him all his life. If the Tang Dynasty really turns back into the Great Sui in the hands of his son, how can he have the face to meet his ancestors.

Wang Ke habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and then said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, to be honest, what do you think about the Tang Dynasty?" If the emperor crowns you king, you have to leave the capital to go to your fiefdom, are you really willing to leave? ”

Li Ke saw that Wang Ke asked this question directly without any concealment, and replied solemnly: "Although my grandfather is said to be the emperor of the Great Sui, and my mother is the princess of the Great Sui, but I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this is a decisive needless to say, although I don't care about the talents of my imperial brother His Royal Highness the Prince, but my father has made him the crown prince, and I will never have the heart to peep." I know my shortcomings, and I know my father's thoughts, and I just want to be free to go on and go out with my friends, to have fun, to drink, and to play. I don't have the heart to fight for power, and I don't have that mind. In fact, I should have been crowned king a long time ago, but it was only because I had something trouble before I was crowned king, and my father was angry and only named me a county king, so I was able to stay in the capital until now. Now that I'm going to be crowned king again, it seems that I can't hide from it. ”

Wang Ke heard Li Ke's words and understood his mood at this time, and the truth of history involuntarily rushed out of his mouth: "Your imperial brother, the crown prince, will not be deposed sooner or later, and your father will make Li Zhi the crown prince." Speaking of which, Wang Ke suddenly came to his senses, this kind of thing can't be said.

Sure enough, Li Ke asked strangely: "Why did Brother Wang say this, how did you know about it, how is this possible?" ”

Wang Ke's words had already been spoken, and he had to find a basis for his mutual words, so he said slowly: "Now the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ministers of the court and the central government is not harmonious, although it is not said that the behavior is perverse, but it is also a little arrogant, which has annoyed a lot of ministers, and you should also know about this." With your imperial brother's character, something will definitely happen if this continues, and once your father can't bear it anymore at that time, it's hard to say whether he can keep his position as the crown prince. ”

Li Ke also felt some truth when he heard Wang Ke say this, and couldn't help but ask again: "Then why did you establish governance as the crown prince, aren't there so many brothers in governance?" ”

Wang Ke also knew that this question was very acute, so he had to use the historical knowledge he knew plus his own foolish kung fu and said: "Let's see, the queen has three boys and one woman so far, namely the crown prince Chengqian, the fourth highness Taihe, and now only two years old; The daughter is Princess Changle. The princess doesn't have to think about it, she has no chance of becoming the prince, so once the prince is deposed, the most promising one is only one in Taihezhi. Tai's scheming is deeper than the prince, and he is more ruthless in doing things, but his talent is not stronger than the prince, I think the emperor must know this, and he will not make him the prince; Then there is only the rule left, and now the treatment is still small, but it has been raised by the queen mother herself, and the mother's talent is known to everyone in the world. Under the teachings of Niangniang, who can predict what kind of person he will grow into in the future. Coupled with the fact that Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the central court, is now an important minister, it is impossible for him not to help his own nephew. Therefore, I dare to conclude that if the crown prince is deposed, the emperor will definitely be the new crown prince. ”

Li Ke nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable, but I don't want to worry about these things now, I just think about how I can not leave Chang'an." Brother Wang, you have to help me find a way. ”

Wang Ke shook his head, sighed and said, "There's no way, you have to leave sooner or later, it's just a matter of when to leave." There's only a little I can do for you right now, but you'll have to decide for yourself in the end. ”

Li Ke heard Wang Ke say this and knew that there was not much hope, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart, but Wang Ke's last sentence still gave him a glimmer of hope, he knew that even if there was a glimmer of hope now, he couldn't give up, even if it was a little more time, it was a good thing, so he urged Wang Ke to quickly say what he wanted to do.

Wang Ke looked at Li Ke for a long time, and asked without giving up, "Don't you really want to sit in that position?" ”

Li Ke knew what Wang Ke meant, and said with a miserable smile: "Born as a prince, who can not be tempted by that position?" But there are some things that you and I can't control, and my biggest hope now is to live safely, and not to cause trouble for my mother and make her old man sad. ”

Wang Ke knew Li Ke's fate, but he couldn't say it, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Forget it, take one step at a time." We will only talk about the present now, and I will decide what will happen in the future. ”

As he spoke, he took a hard breath and continued: "Now what you have to do is to find a way to pretend to be sick in the past few days, the more serious the pretend, the better, but it can't be unconscious or something, it is better to say that it is a headache, and the imperial doctor has no way to check out this disease." On weekdays, you can be a strong voice and a horse, and the bigger the movement, the better, even if your father knows, he will only change your temperament when you are sick. Every now and then you have a headache again, and it makes people feel like you're going to die, so that your father won't blame you. Let's see if we can delay it. If you really want to leave, as long as the emperor says that he wants to leave in the new year, you don't want to leave immediately, stay in the fiefdom for a few months and then ask to come back to recuperate, I think your father will not refuse. ”

Wang Ke changed his tone and continued: "Also, you must have a good relationship with the ladies and princesses in the palace during the time you are not gone, if they can come out to help you talk when your father wants you to leave, then you will have more hope left." That's all I can think of now, and it's up to His Highness to decide whether to do it or not. Keyan is all here, and it will depend on His Highness himself in the future. ”

Li Ke thought for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Wang Ke and said, "What Brother Wang said is extremely true, and Brother Wang will definitely act according to what Brother Wang said." However, there is something I don't know, and I hope that Brother Wang will solve my doubts. ”

Wang Ke said: "Your Highness, please speak, Ke knows everything today, and his words are endless. ”

Li Ke thought slowly and said: "Brother Wang asked me to have a good relationship with the ladies in the palace and several princesses, and Ke deeply thinks so. And what about my brothers, don't I use them? ”

"Never." Wang Ke hurriedly stopped: "How does Your Highness get along with them on weekdays, and how do you get along with them now, if you deliberately cater to them now, it will be unfavorable to you, and it will make them think that you have some intentions, but it is not good." So don't do anything like that. ”

Li Ke stood up, bowed deeply to Wang Ke and said: "Brother Wang is worthy of being my good brother and good friend, today he has thought so carefully about my affairs, Ke Da is not grateful, if Brother Wang feels guilty in the future, Ke will do his best and will never shirk." ”

Seeing that Li Ke was like this, how dare he still sit still, so he quickly stood up, took Li Ke's hand and said, "Your Highness is serious, Ke can't afford it." ”

The two shook hands and smiled at each other.
