Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Prince
Hurriedly came to the palace, Wang Ke followed the eunuch who brought him in, went all the way, and finally met the three of them in Nanping.
I saw a large group of people standing in front of the 'door' of a house, Comrade Li Er was standing at the front, and beside him there was a young man who was nearly 20 years old, dressed differently from other His Highnesses, but somewhat similar to Comrade Li Er's attire.
There is no need to ask, Wang Ke also knows that this is the current crown prince, Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Comrade Li Er, in four years, he will rise up to rebel against his Lao Tzu because he was abolished as the crown prince by Comrade Li Er, and he was exiled to the wild land in the south after being suppressed by his Lao Tzu, and let his brother Li Zhi pick up a big bargain.
No, with Wang Ke here, there will be nothing to do with Li Zhi, it should be Li Ke who is here to pick up this big bargain!
Wang Ke thought of this, and looked around, wanting to see where Li Ke was standing at the moment.
Nanping gently pulled Wang Ke's clothes and asked in a low voice, "What is the general looking at?" ”
Wang Ke replied, "I'll see where your third brother is." ”
Nanping pointed to the corner of the wall, Wang Ke turned his head and saw that the place where Li Ke was standing was a place where the lights couldn't shine, no wonder he didn't see where Li Ke was standing just now.
Wang Ke asked puzzledly, "Why is your third brother standing there?" ”
Nanping shook his head and said, "The concubine doesn't understand either. The third brother is always like this, as soon as he returns to the palace, when everyone is there, he runs to a corner and stays. ”
Wang Ke understood that this was completely Li Ke's psychology. In the past, because of his special identity, he deliberately hid himself in an unobtrusive corner so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble. But now, Wang Ke wants to put Li Ke on the throne, and if he does this again, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to compete with others.
Wang Ke couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, he squeezed Nanping's hand and said in a low voice: "I'll go find your third brother." After speaking, he walked towards Li Ke.
Coming to Li Ke, Wang Ke pretended to be unhappy and said: "Why did you run here and here, when you saw me coming, you didn't come to say hello, I thought you ran somewhere." ”
Li Ke smiled and said: "It's quiet here, it's 'good' to stay here." I saw you and Sister Nanping talking, so I didn't go over, didn't you come over anyway! ”
When Wang Ke saw Li Ke say this, he saw that he was still in front of these people and had not established self-confidence, so he couldn't help but say: "You are now a major general officer of the Tang Dynasty Army and the director of the Gunpowder Manufacturing Bureau. Also unique among your brothers, what else do you have to fear? You're no worse than any of them, you're only better than them. You should be the one who stands up and stands at the front. Look what you look like now, hiding in a dark corner, you are disgraced by your mother's face! ”
Wang Ke's words were a little heavy, and Li Ke's face was a little hot, but he knew that Wang Ke was for his good, and hoped that he could stand up straight, so that Comrade Li Er could see that he was the best of his group of sons, and his body was flowing with the blood of the royal families of the two dynasties.
was said by Wang Ke, Li Ke also figured out that he was no worse than others, and he should stand up and let Comrade Li Er see that although his grandfather was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, his surname was Li, and he was the son of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he also wanted to serve the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke looked at Wang Ke with a firm gaze and said word by word: "Brother Wang, thank you." What you said today really made Ke figure it out. I know what I'm supposed to do! ”
Wang Ke laughed and said, "Okay, if you know how to do it, you can do it." As long as you know, as long as it's your business, I will support you behind you and give you ideas! ”
Wang Ke walked back to Nanping's side, and looked at Li Ke secretly to see what he would do. I saw Li Ke tidy up his clothes, walked out of the corner, and came to stand behind Comrade Li Er.
At this time, perhaps hearing Li Ke's footsteps, the prince turned his head and saw that it was Li Ke who stepped forward, and his eyes showed a surprised expression.
It seems that they all know that on such occasions, Li Ke will hide alone, and will never stand in the crowd like today, let alone stand behind Comrade Li Er.
The prince turned his head, and after a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and say something to Li Ke in a low voice, and Li Ke also replied to him gently, and the prince's face immediately became a little ugly.
Wang Ke couldn't hear what the two of them said because he was standing a little far away from them, so he could only guess that the prince said something ugly to Li Ke, and today's Li Ke did not retreat as in the past, but pushed the prince back, which made the prince a little annoyed.
Wang Ke wanted to hear what the two brothers were talking about, so he pulled Nanping and rushed forward.
Nanping grabbed Wang Ke and asked in a low voice, "Where is the general going?" ”
Wang Ke said puzzledly: "Go ahead, what's the matter, can't you?" ”
Nanping is angry and funny, his husband, I don't know if I really don't understand or fake I don't understand, in this palace, who stands in what position is particular (of course, where Li Ke stood at the beginning, just because he was willing to stand there, it doesn't mean that the position where he should have stood was there), how can he stand wherever he wants? Nanping endured the 'sex' and explained it to Wang Ke.
After finishing speaking, Wang Ke realized that the place where he stood was where the princesses stood (he was a colt and could only stand with the princess. Originally, he couldn't come in, if it wasn't for Nanping to beg Comrade Li Er, he could only stay at home), in front of which was a place where a large group of His Royal Highnesses could stand, Comrade Li Er and the prince stood at the front, and the concubines and concubines of each palace couldn't come, so they could only send a little girl or eunuch to stand outside the courtyard 'door' and listen to the news, and they didn't even have the qualifications to enter the hospital.
Wang Ke was embarrassed, in this way, he wanted to go forward and listen to what Li Ke and the prince said, but it was impossible, and his face couldn't help but show a little disappointment.
The careful Nanping immediately caught Wang Ke's changes, although she didn't understand what Wang Ke wanted to go forward for, but she knew that her husband must have his deep meaning in doing this.
Nanping thought about it for a long time, but didn't come up with any ideas, so he had to whisper to Wang Ke: "General, if you really want to go forward, pretend to go forward to salute your father." However, the concubine body can't guarantee that the general will be able to stand there after the salute. After finishing speaking, Nanping covered his mouth and laughed.
In her opinion, after Wang Ke stepped forward to salute, he would definitely be brought back, and there was no chance to stand there for a while.
Wang Ke didn't care so much, and immediately ran to Comrade Li Er's side. came behind Comrade Li Er and said in a deep voice: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the queen will be fine." It is estimated that the time has not yet come, as long as the time comes, the princess will be born smoothly. ”
"Princess?" Comrade Li Er was puzzled when he heard this, and asked Wang Ke: "How do you know that the queen will give birth to a princess?" ”
Wang Ke Khan, as soon as he was not careful, he told the result. This is a lot of words that must be lost, it is really a wise saying!
Wang Ke hurriedly replied: "When the minister got married, he saw the appearance of the mother, and from the posture of the mother at that time, the minister estimated that the mother would give birth to a beautiful princess. ”
Now Comrade Li Er became interested, and asked Wang Ke to tell him how to see it.
Wang Ke originally wanted to come forward to listen to what the prince and Li Ke said, but as soon as he came up, they didn't say a word again, but they all listened attentively to what they were talking about. Now Comrade Li Er wants to talk about it himself, how can he know? If he hadn't known this from the history books, how would he know whether Empress Changsun was born a man or a 'woman'.
But there's no way, who calls himself too much? I had to tell all the so-called experiences of how to judge a pregnant woman to give birth to a boy or a girl from hearsay in the later life, and the people next to me listened to it with relish.
After Wang Ke finished speaking, the prince said on the side: "I don't see it, Lord Wang will still use these ninth-rate methods, I don't know if Lord Wang will still play tricks?" ”
As soon as Wang Ke heard it, he knew that this short-lived prince was dissatisfied with his daily relationship with Li Ke and never had any 'intersection' with him, and now he saw that he said this, and in their eyes, he couldn't get on the stage, so he took the opportunity to sarcastically mock himself.
Wang Ke is no one else, he originally wanted to help Li Ke ascend to the throne, and the prince in front of him is the biggest obstacle to Li Ke's ascendancy. Originally, Wang Ke hadn't come up with any way to deal with him yet, but he just wanted to wait for himself, according to the development of history, to fall naturally. Now that he is provoking himself first, how can Wang Ke let him go so easily.
Wang Ke squinted at the prince with his eyes and retorted: "His Royal Highness the Prince's words are the same, everyone lives in the world and has the value of his existence, and we can't look down on him because of how lowly his profession is." This is not a 'heart' to be a king. As a monarch, you must have a 'mind' that looks at the world and embraces the world, and people with narrow temperament are not competent. ”
After Wang Ke finished speaking, he peeked at Comrade Li Er and found that Comrade Li Er was falling into deep thought. But the prince's face turned purple, obviously he was already angry.
The crown prince Li Chengqian originally wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Wang Ke. If you want him to know that no matter how close you get to Li Ke, it is useless to give Li Ke much effort, you can only rely on him, the prince, and have his big tree, so that he can enjoy the shade very comfortably.
Unexpectedly, he said a few words casually, and he was taught a lesson by this Wang Ke, and looking at Comrade Li Er's appearance, he actually agreed with his opinion, and Li Chengqian began to be indignant in his heart. Originally, his temper was not good, but now he was counted down by Wang Ke in front of his father and many younger brothers, and he was even more angry, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he opened his mouth and scolded Wang Ke.
Wang Ke didn't say a word, listening to him scold himself, this is what he wanted.
He wanted Comrade Li Er to see how the successor personally selected by Comrade Li Er was uneducated and how he treated the opinions of others.
Comrade Li Er's daily life, if there is a slight mistake, Wei Zheng will say something good to him for a while, and call it a direct admonition, some words are much more ugly than what he said today, Comrade Li Er heard it in his ears, he didn't even dare to put a fart, at most, after returning to the harem, he told the eldest grandson queen about his suffering, and he didn't scold like Li Chengqian.
Sure enough, Comrade Li Er's brows furrowed after hearing Li Chengqian's foul language, obviously because he was a little dissatisfied with him, and Li Chengqian was especially unconscious, and he kept scolding there.
Comrade Li Er finally couldn't help it, and scolded Li Chengqian: "Okay! As the crown prince, you are so frivolous, and you can't check yourself for your subordinates' direct advice, but you scold yourself. I have been teaching you in vain. What a disappointment for me. ”
Wang Ke wasted no time in saying: "Your Majesty, it is really the sins of the ministers, and you should not argue with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which annoys His Royal Highness the Prince." After speaking, he bowed to Li Chengqian to the end and kept making amends.
It's good that Wang Ke doesn't speak, doing this is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, but it makes Comrade Li Er even more annoyed, looking at the prince with two eyes, as if he is about to burst into flames.
