Outsiders can see the subtle things, but insiders can't see through them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Outsiders know that no matter how the position of the prince of the East Palace is contested, it is impossible for Li Ke to take his turn, first of all, Li Ke is not a descendant, and secondly, Li Ke has the blood of Sui Yang, based on these two points alone, Li Shimin and many courtiers will never consider him, this is obvious.

"Standing up or not establishing a concubine" is an ironclad rule, which cannot be changed, unless Li Shimin's sons-in-law are all dead, as for the birth bloodline, it is more sensitive, the monarchs and ministers have worked so hard to overthrow Sui Yang, if another prince with Sui Yang blood is set up as the prince, then why did so many founding monarchs and ministers who overthrew the Sui Dynasty decades ago for? What is the difference between this and the restoration of the Sui Dynasty?

Outsiders can see things clearly, but Li Ke can't see them clearly.

Just because Li Shimin once said the words "King Wu is like himself", this sentence brought him endless hope.

For the sake of this sentence, he is willing to fight for the one in 10,000 chance.

Li Shimin is a very failed father, not only did he not fulfill his father's responsibility, but because of his casual words and deeds caused hostility between the prince's brothers, when he smiled and said a sentence "King Wu is like himself", have you ever thought about how many pairs of hateful eyes stared at Li Ke after this sentence was said? And Li Ke withstood this sentence, in addition to fighting for the position that did not belong to him, how should he deal with himself?

Looking at Li Ke who was radiant in front of him, Li Su suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart, because of these princes.

Peeling off that layer of glamorous and noble identity, they are just chess pieces, firmly nailed to a certain position on the chessboard and unable to move, only the person who plays chess can decide where the chess piece should fall, so they will fall where, sometimes even complacent, perhaps just because their chess piece was put in a seemingly important position by the chess player, but they never dared to imagine that they could become the person who played chess.

There are also unwilling, unconvinced, trying to resist, trying to change roles, wanting to become a chess player, unwilling to be held in the hands of others, and not being able to do it with their fathers. A long time ago, Li Chengqian did this, and then he failed, so the other chess pieces became more and more silent, resigned to their fate that they were just a chess piece, and no one had the courage to resist.

patted Li Ke's shoulder, Li Su smiled and said: "Your Highness is so interested, I won't participate, my body is too thin, hunting is such a physical thing, I will never do it, if there are good things such as wind and snow, snow and moon delicacies and beautiful colors in the future, remember to call me, I am very interested in this." ”

Li Ke laughed: "I have heard that Jingyang County is lazy, he can lie down and never sit, the safari is too hard, I definitely won't call you, fortunately, you like the wind and snow, I also like it, and I will set up a banquet in the house another day, and I will invite you to get drunk." ”

Saying that, Li Ke raised his eyebrows at him, and said mysteriously: "I just returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday, and I bought ten orchids in Dongshi yesterday, all of them are yellow-haired and green-eyed, demonic, but they have a different exotic flavor, it is said that the joy of the bed is also more open than that of Guanzhong women, but unfortunately the singing and dancing are a little bad, and I don't know what to sing." Brother Xian just come, these ten orchids, our brothers are divided in half, rise up bravely, attack the city, and discipline them to know the majesty of my Tang Dynasty man......"

Li Su's eyelids twitched a few times.

It's kind to tell you "Wind and Snow", are you really on the Wind and Snow? Aren't you afraid of being squeezed into scum? And it's still an orchid, shelved in the afterlife, it's a world-class scum.

"Well, Your Highness has received it with great gratitude, I'm not very good at this bite, ten orchids or His Royal Highness should enjoy it, this ...... The way of bed conquest should be fine, not too much, Your Highness take care of your body. ”

Li Ke suddenly showed a look of disappointment: "A few years have passed, and the virtuous brother has not changed at all, so he really only guards Mrs. Zun and my imperial sister to spend this life in peace?" It's too boring. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Zhongding mountains and forests, each has its own nature, Your Highness eats something like honey, maybe others think you are eating, and you have eaten a lot......"

Li Ke: "............"

*********************************************************************

While Li Su was busy dealing with the princes and magnates, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was also wandering around the Taoist temple.

Tonight's banquet in Dongyang, in fact, the biggest protagonist is Li Zhi, but this fact is not known to anyone other than Li Su and Dongyang, including Li Zhi himself.

Li Zhi is not very old, and his hobby of wine is not very big, and he has a young heart, and he likes curiosity and freshness, but the color of wine does not enter his eyes, so Li Zhi felt a little boring after sitting at the banquet for a while, and the hypocritical greetings and politeness of those powerful people and imperial brothers and brothers made him even more disgusted, so he found an excuse to leave the table, first watched a burst of singing, dancing and silk bamboo music at the high platform, and then walked around the atrium and walked around in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

Li Zhi and Dongyang are not very familiar, Li Shisheng has too many children, Dongyang is just the daughter of the palace maid, with her temperament, naturally she will not take the initiative to climb Li Zhi who is the son-in-law, and Li Zhi is young, and he doesn't know anything about human affairs, and he didn't think about taking the initiative to know this legendary imperial sister, except for formal occasions over the years, the two basically have no intersection in private, until the relationship between Li Su and Dongyang gradually became clear, Li Zhi began to face this imperial sister.

Li Zhi has always admired Li Su very much, and even has a little admiration, he has always felt that Li Su has a kind of fairy-like temperament, and his ability is also extraordinary, such a capable and tranquil person, can take a fancy to his imperial sister, and at the risk of cutting off his head to defend the relationship between the two, Li Zhi finally had some curiosity about this imperial sister, his logic is very simple, a woman who can be favored by people like Li Su must have something extraordinary about her.

Therefore, after Li Zhi received Dongyang's invitation, he agreed to the banquet without hesitation, and prepared a heavy gift very solemnly, and arrived at the Taoist temple two hours in advance as the emperor's younger brother.

Although the banquet was boring, the scenery in the Taoist temple was really good, Li Zhi wandered alone for half an hour, and after seeing the scenery in the Taoist temple thoroughly, he remembered to look for Li Su.

For some reason, I always feel that it is interesting to get along with Li Su, and the feast is full, so it is better to drink turbid wine with my confidant.

I was about to go back to the banquet to find someone, but as soon as I turned around, I saw a group of people walking slowly by the bamboo forest not far away, several people dressed as eunuchs holding yellow lanterns in front, followed by a huge ...... Spherical objects?

Li Zhi blinked quickly, and it wasn't until the group of people approached that he realized that the spherical object was his imperial brother, Li Tai, the king of Wei.

The bamboo forest path, the road is no more than a foot wide, and the huge ball is already very reluctant to roll over, so Li Zhi hurriedly avoided the side, and when the crowd approached, Li Zhi bowed to Li Tai.

"The pheasant slave has seen the imperial brother."

The ball stopped rolling, stood in front of Li Zhi and looked at him, his tone a little cold.

"It turned out to be a pheasant slave, what are you doing here alone at such a late hour?"

Li Zhi said with a smile: "The pheasant slave is not strong enough to drink, come out to breathe, and besides, the Taoist scenery of the imperial sister is really good, and it is worth the trip tonight." ”

A smile appeared on Li Tai's fat face: "It's really worth the trip, but I'm not talking about ......the scenery, Pheasant Slave, although you and my brother are both in the Chang'an Imperial City, we haven't been in touch for many years, right?" The last time I saw you was at the Shangyuan Night Banquet in the palace, I remember that a few years ago, you were still the child who liked to cry, and he cried in front of his father and emperor to ask for his mother. ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "The pheasant slave is young and ignorant, the pope brother laughed at it, and now the thunder pheasant slave is no longer afraid, but has made some progress." ”

Li Tai laughed, and there was undisguised ridicule in his laughter, Li Zhi was indeed not the scheming little kid back then, listening to Li Tai's laughter, the smile on his face suddenly gradually rose.

After Li Tai laughed a few times, he shook his head and said, "It's really grown, but it's ...... Not enough growth. ”

Li Zhi smiled again, but this time the smile was a little reluctant.

"Brother Pope, where is the pheasant slave not enough, please also ask the royal brother to point one or two."

Li Tai looked up at the bright moon in the sky, was silent for a long time, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "The father and the emperor have seventeen sons, but there are only three of them, the eldest brother Cheng Qian was demoted for rebellion, this life is considered to be wasted, and the remaining sons are only you and me, and the position of the prince of the East Palace has not been established for a long time. ”

Li Zhi's eyelids jumped suddenly.

That's a bit of a red thing. Naked, without any pretense of concealment, tonight, at this time, here, in the face of the most threatening opponent, Li Taiming tore the remaining fragile layer of hypocrisy with a knife, and his words were directed at the bull's-eye, which really caught Li Zhi off guard.

Li Zhi looked at him dumbfounded, unable to figure out why the imperial brother was so unsophisticated, and straightforwardly put this heart-wrenching topic on the table.

Seeing Li Zhi's stunned appearance, Li Tai couldn't help but sneer a few times and said, "Pheasant slave, don't you think that no one knows your mind?" There are only two of my father's sons-in-law, I don't believe that you haven't been moved by the position of the East Palace, there are only you and me here today, I might as well tell you honestly, you ...... You are not qualified to be my opponent, in terms of knowledge, in terms of contacts between the DPRK and China, on the etiquette system, on the ranking of the elders and young, you are not as good as me, what do you use to compete with me? Just one Li Su? ”

Li Zhiru was killed by thunder, and his face turned pale.

Li Tai sneered: "Think it's a surprise? Do you think you did it unknowingly to bring Li Su to your side? When I personally came to recruit Li Su but was refused, I had suspicions, only you and I are qualified to compete for the position of prince, Li Su chose to reject me, naturally he is more optimistic about you, otherwise he will be too long, dare to refuse the future Tang Emperor? ”

Looking Li Zhi up and down provocatively, Li Tai shook his head with a smile: "But forgive me for my clumsiness, I really can't see what kind of virtue and ability you have, you have been favored by Li Su, a person who can be scared to cry when there is a thunder in the sky, what is worthy of the assistance of a talented person like Li Su?" If you don't hide deep enough, then Li Su is blind, Li Su is smart, and he has fallen at the most important juncture, but it's a pity ......"

Li Zhi was silent all the time, and finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Huang can ridicule me to his heart's content, but Li Su is my friend, and he talks about right and wrong by others, don't you feel that you have lost your gentlemanly demeanor?" ”

Li Tai laughed: "Everyone in the world calls me a famous man of the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect the pheasant slave to be more like a gentleman than me, count the days, you should have a pheasant slave this year...... Sixteen, right? ”

Li Zhi's face became cold: "So what?" ”

Li Tai sighed: "Sixteen years old, not young, you should be able to recognize the gains and losses, why don't you fight for the things you can't get?" Isn't it good to be honest and be your free prince? If I am the emperor, you are my dearest brother, from now on brocade clothes and jade food, rich and noble, huge rivers and mountains, you only enjoy peace under me alone, chanting the wind and reciting the moon, dancing and writing, living in a dream, such a day is not good? Why do you do those unwise things that take your head to win power? ”

Looking at Li Zhi's face seriously, under the bright moonlight, Li Zhi's delicate face was as white as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

"Pheasant slave, you are still the ignorant imperial brother in my eyes, I will still treat you as before in my lifetime, as long as you give up this unrealistic idea, you can't compete with me, the situation I have laid over the years, the contacts I have accumulated, the cronies installed in the three provinces and six departments, and the favor of my father...... You can't compare to me, for many years, I have secretly wooed the courtiers, the palace advisers have carefully arranged for me, I have been studying hard in the study until I reach Dan, when I am doing these things, you are still crying to the queen mother, absentmindedly coping with the father and the emperor to check their studies, or secretly go out of the palace to play, not mentioning the status of the elder and young, only say that you and I pay separately, I am more diligent than you I don't know how many times, so among the princes, my father loves me the most, if the position of the East Palace is not my turn, it is too unreasonable......"

Li Tai looked a little excited, the pain he had worked silently for all these years had been buried deep in his heart, not to say or feel, when he said it, even he felt wronged.

“…… Look at you, pheasant, in turn, touch your chest and say, What have you done? The prince of the East Palace is not a piece of dim sum you like, not an object you like, as long as you grin and cry a few times, your father will be distressed, and he will be sent into your arms immediately. It is the life and death of trillions of Li people! Do you think that your father is confused, and as long as you cry a few times, he will give it to you? ”

Li Tai's face gradually became distorted, and he hissed: "The battle of the prince is not a game you usually play, and those who lose will lose their lives!" You ask yourself, what preparations have you made for the battle for the prince? Do you have countless counsellors in your royal palace who have laid out the plan for you? Do you have enough weight in the court to support the courtiers and magnates? In the eyes of your father, have you really grown up? You have nothing! Except for one Li Su! Just a Li Su, what can he do for you? What are you fighting with me! It's ridiculous! ”

Li Zhi's face was pale, looking at Li Tai's distorted face, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes, and when he was afraid to speak, a smiling voice suddenly came from behind the two.

"The legend of the rivers and lakes, whoever wins Li Su wins the world, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, you have to remember this sentence, otherwise it will be easy to fall behind......"
