Chapter 176: Confrontation
Everything is as Wang Ke expected, when the news of Wang Ke's closed 'door' at home came out, more people stepped on the 'door' threshold of the Wang family, remembering that there was no such thing before, there were only a few people who came to the Wang family, but now it is several times a day, sometimes it is simply this group just sent away, and that group of people walked in again.
Li Jing and others must come every day, of course, to the outside world, they are talking to Wang Si to beg for wine, in fact, everyone knows, this is just an excuse, the purpose is to let people know that they have a good relationship with Wang Ke, and if Wang Ke has anything, they are all going to support him behind his back.
Prince, Li Ke is the only one who comes, after all, he can talk to Wang Ke, and he is the only one who has a good relationship, but there are many princesses, a large group of them every day, and there are a lot of carriages and horses from morning to night in front of Wang Ke's 'door'.
No matter who asks the outside world, everyone has a unified voice: the ministers of civil and military affairs are looking for Wang Si, the princesses are looking for Nanping and Lanling, only Li Ke publicly said that he was looking for Wang Ke, but there is still a reason, saying that it is for firearms.
After all, because of the identity of the prince, everyone still has some scruples, and Li Ke is looking for Wang Ke for the important affairs of the court, and the prince can't say anything, after all, these things can only be solved by Wang Ke, and there is really no way for other people.
The Wang family sees so many court officials coming and going at home every day, and they are also used to Wang Ke having to do something like this from time to time.
Now the only one who is still worried about this matter is Wang Ke, for this matter, now Wang Ke only thinks that Comrade Li Er can come up with a result earlier, if you want to do it yourself, then you can only accept your fate, after all, others are two fathers and sons, if you want to take advantage of yourself, you can't say the slightest complaint, if Comrade Li Er doesn't do it yourself, even if you don't do anything to the prince, you have to start doing it, even if you can't do anything to the prince now, at least you have to repair Hou Junji, let him understand, If you want to **** yourself to the ground, as long as you leave yourself a breath, then he doesn't want to be good.
But what made Wang Ke anxious was that Comrade Li Er didn't move at all, Wang Ke wanted to ask, it was not good to go into the palace to ask, no matter what, this closed 'door' thank you was also said by herself, if you run around, it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future.
On this day, Wang Ke finally couldn't help it, but because he couldn't go out, he thought of a way to let Wang Si go to Comrade Li Er to pretend to be pitiful and ask him what was going on.
After Wang Si left, he found Nanping and Lanling, and so on, let them go to the palace to see the queen's mother, and then ask Comrade Li Er, but the special 'door' told him not to intercede, he could only ask when Comrade Li Er had an explanation on this matter, as for how to say that Wang Ke could only rely on Nanping and themselves, as long as they did not intercede, everything else was left to Nanping and they played at will.
Seeing off these two groups of people, Wang Ke walked slowly back to the study and sat down, quietly waiting for news.
It wasn't until the evening that the two groups of people came back with black faces, and Wang Ke found out when he asked that Comrade Li Er did not express his opinion at all, but just told them (her) not to worry, and he would definitely handle the matter impartially. Wang Ke's heart is more than half cold now, in his opinion, Comrade Li Er is hesitating now, and now Comrade Li Er is also very clear that it is impossible to turn big things into small things, and it is impossible to turn small things into small things, and now it depends on who will be the big wrongdoer. However, on one side is the prince, and on the other side is the concubine, which is really difficult for Comrade Li Er, but Wang Ke has already thought about it, and he is probably the one who is wronged.
As for Wang Ke's heart, it is because he still hopes that Comrade Li Er, a wise gentleman, can look at this matter rationally and will not be biased to the side of the prince because of the disparity in the identities of the two sides.
Another day passed, early in the morning, before Wang Ke got up 'bed', he heard a report from his subordinates, and someone from the palace was looking for Wang Ke. Wang Ke understood that this was asking himself to pass through the hall, so he got up and dressed in an orderly manner before going downstairs, but found that the person who came was actually Gonggong Yang.
Wang Ke immediately stepped forward very enthusiastically, pulled Yang Gonggong and said, "Father-in-law hasn't come to my Wang family for a long time, I don't know why the emperor sent you here today." ”
Gonggong Yang said with a smile: "Lord Xiao Wang, the emperor called our family to call you early this morning, Lord Xiao Wang should hurry up and enter the palace with our family, don't let the emperor wait for a long time." ”
Wang Ke walked out with Gonggong Yang and asked, "Does Gonggong know what the emperor called me?" ”
Although Wang Ke knew in his heart what Comrade Li Er called himself, he still wanted to get some inside information from Gonggong Yang first, so he asked like this.
Yang Gonggong lowered his voice and said, "It's the prince's excerpt." In the morning, when the emperor called our family to call the adults, I heard that the emperor called someone to the East Palace to call the prince, I am afraid that you should be confronted. ”
As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, from what Yang Gonggong said, Wang Ke had already heard it, and Yang Gonggong only guessed, and he didn't know anything about the specific things, and it was in vain to ask himself. It's better not to ask, and act when the time comes!
Wang Ke has now figured it out, even if he wants his own life today, he will bite off a piece of 'meat' from the prince before he dies, so he has to help Li Ke make the last effort, let the prince make a fool of himself in front of Comrade Li Er, and let the prince's impression in Comrade Li Er's mind be lowered.
When he came to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, Wang Ke saw that the prince was already sitting under Comrade Li Er, with a smug look on his face, and it seemed that he was very sure of today's 'confrontation'! Seeing Wang Ke come in, the prince's eyes showed a trace of contempt for the river's provocation, and the meaning was obvious: Sample, fight with me. Don't forget that I'm the Prince!
Wang Ke ignored the prince's gaze, and after saluting Comrade Li Er, he saluted the prince and the group of civil and military ministers present one by one.
Today, Wang Ke is really serious about saluting this group of people, not a little perfunctory as usual, after all, in Wang Ke's opinion, today is the last time he salutes these old guys, and in the future, maybe it will be the two heavens of 'yin' and yang, and there will be no goodbye.
In addition to the crown prince, the others also stood up and saluted Wang Ke one after another, and at this time, they probably had the same psychology as Wang Ke in their hearts, and all of them seemed very sincere.
No one noticed that Comrade Li Er on the side frowned unconsciously when he saw Wang Ke saluting the prince, and the prince was disdainful and didn't even want to raise his hand, and his eyes 'revealed' a trace of disgust for the prince.

Wang Ke did not sit down after saluting everyone, but stood straight in place, looked at Comrade Li Er and said: "The emperor summoned his ministers to come and I don't know what is going on, please ask the emperor to show me!" ”
Wang Ke has not said the word "criminal minister" once so far, this is also what Wang Ke thought, he must not say this word from his own mouth, otherwise he will admit that he is guilty, and it will increase the arrogance of the prince.
Probably because the crown prince thought that he had won the battle, and shouted in a high-profile manner: "Bold Wang Ke, are you talking to the emperor like this?" did not bow his head and confess his guilt, but asked the emperor if he was dying! ”
Wang Ke was just about to speak, but he heard Comrade Li Er say coldly: "Presumptuous, I haven't convicted the Wang family kid yet, what crime do you ask him to bow his head and confess?" I didn't say anything, it's your turn to speak! ”
As soon as Wang Ke heard Comrade Li Er speak like this, his heart immediately let go of half of it, because listening to Comrade Li Er's tone, it seemed that he would not do anything to himself, but he also knew that this emperor was moody, and this will be fine does not mean that he will be fine for a while, maybe as soon as he says a few words, he will ask someone to pull him out and take his head off and play with it as a ball, which is also very possible.
Since Comrade Li Er had spoken, Wang Ke stopped talking, but just looked at Comrade Li Er with his eyes to see what he would do next.
Comrade Li Er handed the fold to Gonggong Yang, motioned for him to take it to Wang Ke, and then said to this Wang Ke: "Wang family boy, you have also seen the prince's folds, I have a lot of them these days, and Zhong Aiqing has no free time, and all of them have been delayed until today." Now that I have summoned the Crown Prince, in front of me, the Prince, and all of my Aiqing, tell me a few things that the Crown Prince has accused you of. Don't worry, I'm watching in my eyes, as long as what you say is the truth, I will never wronged you! ”
Comrade Li Er's words can be said to have reassured Wang Ke, he knows that Comrade Li Er has given himself a chance to defend himself in this matter, and he can get rid of what he says, and he doesn't care about what will happen to the prince afterwards. Anyway, as long as you're fine, the days ahead will be long, and there will be time and prince fighting, and it won't be bad for a while.
Wang Ke took the fold from Yang Gonggong's hand and opened it, and began to refute them one by one.
First of all, needless to say, it must be clear that he opened a shop and workshop first, anyway, Comrade Li Er knows about it. As for the matter of uniting Li Ke and several princesses, it is better to do it, the restaurant that he and Li Ke opened together is not called Li Ke by himself, but Li Ke pestered himself to become a shareholder, after Li Ke became a shareholder, Li Ke did not take care of it for a day, but only shared proportionally at the end of each year.
As for the fashion workshop, Wang Ke put himself aside at once, Wang Ke did a great job at the beginning, neither he nor Li Ke participated, they all asked Nanping and them to come forward, and now they are talking to Wang Ke about this, Wang Ke just pushed it all to Nanping and them in a few words. If the prince had to talk about this, he could only go to Nanping and them.
As for the latter ones, Wang Ke didn't waste any tongues. has a close relationship with Li Ke, Wang Ke explained that at the beginning, it was just because he had just come back and didn't know anyone, and Li Ke happened to be idle, so he could take him around to take a look, and everything was very familiar. Later, Li Ke entered the court to manage affairs, and the two of them also wanted to manage the things that Li Ke managed, and there were places where Wang Ke needed to come forward, which was a very normal relationship, and the two did not get together all day long to do anything against anyone, and it could not be said that Wang Ke was 'befriending' the prince with bad intentions.
Wang Ke also said half-jokingly: "How can I say it, the minister is also a concubine, and he and His Royal Highness the Prince are also relatives, how can it be said that this is to 'befriend' the prince, with bad intentions." ”
Wang Ke's words amused Comrade Li Er and all the ministers, only the crown prince sat there motionless with a blue face, but there seemed to be more hatred in his eyes.
Wang Ke then began to refute the prince's claim that he was clinging to the powerful, Wang Ke pointed to several civil and military ministers present and said: "Your Majesty, after all, there are many adults who usually interact with the ministers here, the emperor can ask them, whether I, Wang Ke, have invited them to eat and drink if they are fine, or if it is not for the affairs of the court, the ministers have not sat with them and chatted." Of course, the adults and the minister's father chatted together, and the minister had no choice, it was their 'friendship' of the previous generation, and I was not qualified to be a junior. ”
Among the ministers present, except for the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone nodded yes, indicating that Wang Ke was not wrong.
Wang Ke also knew that this eldest grandson Wuji was very embarrassed, no matter what, this prince was his own nephew, even if he didn't help the prince speak, he couldn't help Wang Ke.
The crown prince couldn't take much care of it at this time, stood up and said, "Then what do the ministers of the court say when they come to your house for dinner?" ”
Wang Ke asked lightly: "The emperor and the queen mother have also come to my house for dinner, what should the minister say?" ”
Now the prince was a little dumbfounded. It's true, this Comrade Li Er also took Empress Changsun to Wang Ke's house for dinner, and Comrade Li Er went by himself, and there was no invitation from Wang Ke, and everyone in the court knew about it.
Seeing that the prince had nothing to say, Comrade Li Er slowly spoke: "Wang family boy, have you finished explaining?" ”
Wang Ke clenched his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, everything the minister wants to say has been finished, please ask the emperor to judge!" ”
Comrade Li Er turned his head to look at the prince again and said, "Is there anything else Cheng Qian said?" ”
The prince sat there, and he had nothing to say.
Seeing that the prince didn't speak for a long time, Comrade Li Er slapped his hand on the imperial case and said: "Cheng Qian, as the crown prince, you don't learn how to govern the country, but calculate the courtiers all day long. Do you know how the boy of the Wang family shared his worries and served the court during this time! I saw it in my eyes, and I didn't say that you were already saving face for you. But you are teaming up with the little people to abolish my right-hand man, do you want my Tang Dynasty to only pass on the second generation like the previous dynasty? ”
Comrade Li Er's words were so heavy that all the ministers did not dare to excuse the crown prince. The prince was even more said by Comrade Li Er, and his face was blue for a while and purple for a while.
Wang Ke definitely won't say anything at this time, anyway, he has already torn his face now, he only hopes that Comrade Li Er will say as much as possible.
Comrade Li Er stopped after talking for a long time, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he said again: "Okay, that's all for today, tomorrow I will make a decision on this matter, and I will disperse today." ”
As soon as the prince heard this, he stood up and turned to leave, so angry that Comrade Li Er pointed at his back and shook his head, but he couldn't say a word.
After the ministers saluted Comrade Li Er, they withdrew, and then they congratulated Wang Ke one after another, and Wang Ke hurriedly saluted one by one to thank him for his support.
The group walked out of the palace with a smile and a smile, broke up and went home, Wang Ke also hurried home, he had to tell his family what happened today at the first time, so that they could rest assured.
