Chapter 40: Return to Chang'an City for the New Year
At noon the next day, Wang Tianlai took his son Wang Kai to Qizhou. However, Li Ke did not meet Wang Tianlai in person.
Instead, let Xiao Rui represent himself and arrange for Wang Tianlai to take over as the assassin of Qizhou. But Li Ke took people to find the address of the palace.
After all, Li Ke is no longer the history of Qizhou. Therefore, it is natural to hand over this assassin mansion to the newly appointed assassin history.
In addition, Li Shimin has already expressed his agreement with Li Ke to build a palace in Qizhou City. So Li Ke began to look for the land where he built the Qi Palace.
In the end, after many days, Li Ke finally made a choice. The location is at the foot of Thousand Buddha Mountain, a flat place. Behind here is the cliff of Thousand Buddha Mountain, and the mountain spring water pours down from the Thousand Buddha Mountain.
This place can definitely be called a treasure land of feng shui. And Li Ke stated to the public that the reason for choosing this place is that it is close to Thousand Buddha Mountain, which is convenient for him to hunt and worship Buddha.
However, this palace could not be built in a day or two, so Li Ke bought a mansion in Qizhou City and lived in it for the time being.
Gao Kan led the forbidden army to live in the barracks, after all, Li Ke's new mansion has limited space. It simply could not accommodate these 2000 forbidden troops.
After all this, it is almost the end of the year. It's also time for Li Ke to go to Chang'an City for the New Year. So Li Ke was protected by Gao Kan and embarked on a journey to Chang'an City with Yue'er.
However, Li Ke did not rush to Chang'an empty-handed, he ordered Yue'er to bring a few quilts. There are also several sets of cotton clothes sewn by Yue'er herself.
At the same time, Li Ke also brought a few masons to prepare to go to the palace to build a kang for his mother Yang Shufei. lest his own concubine be disturbed by the cold.
……
"Your Majesty, King Qi has already brought people to the palace, and he is waiting outside the palace gate for the emperor to summon him." The eunuch Wang De came to the Ganlu Hall and said to Li Shimin.
"Let him in when he comes, and I'll keep his original dwelling. Let him live there for the first time. Li Shimin didn't even raise his head, and said to Wang De casually.
After Wang Denuo said a word, he turned around and went to greet Li Ke outside the palace. When Wang De saw Li Ke, he whispered to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the servant feels that the emperor is not in a good mood today. ”
"Thank you for the reminder." Li Ke said to Wang De with a grateful expression. Although it is just a simple sentence, it is not ordinary for Li Ke.
After a short time, Li Ke followed Wang De to the Ganlu Palace, and after entering the Ganlu Palace, Li Ke knelt on the ground and made a great salute to Li Shimin.
Then he said: "The son-in-law Li Ke saw his father, but I don't know that during the time that the son-in-law left, his father's health was good. ”
"Naturally, there is no problem with my body, but recently there are some unclean roots." Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Ke and said.
"I don't know who is nagging in front of my father, is it the imperial history of those rumors?" Li Ke pretended to be puzzled and said.
In fact, Li Ke has already felt it, I'm afraid that the person who makes Li Shimin's ears unclear is himself. And the impeachment of himself against Li Shimin is definitely those damn imperial histories.
"I want to ask you, did I make you the king of Qi by naming you the king of Qi, so that you can hunt and worship the Buddha every day and not do serious things?" Li Shimin's face became more and more cold, and he looked directly at Li Ke and said.
"Father, the purpose of hunting is to train the forbidden army, so as not to lose the combat effectiveness after following the sons for a long time. The purpose of worshipping the Buddha is to ask the Buddha for refuge and let the Buddha bless the health of his father and mother. ”
"Could it be that Erchen is like this, what is wrong? Father, don't listen to those imperial histories and chew the root of your tongue. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"Don't talk to me here, tomorrow you go to the Jinluan Palace and argue with those imperial historians. If the imperial history you can say is speechless, I will naturally not pursue this matter. Li Shimin said to Li Ke.
"Father can rest assured, but the son is standing and reasoning, how can he be afraid of the imperial history chewing the root of his tongue." Li Ke said with an indifferent expression.
"Okay, I'm tired along the way, let's go down and rest first. Take the time to see your mother, she misses you very much during this time. Li Shimin said after waving his hand to Li Ke.
"Father, when the son came, he brought a gift to his father." After Li Ke finished speaking, he asked Yue'er to hand over the quilt and cotton clothes to Wang De.
Then he took Yue'er out of the Ganlu Hall and went to his mother's bedroom to visit Concubine Yang Shu. It doesn't matter what Li Shimin does with these quilts and cotton clothes.
……
"Mother, Ke'er has come back to see you." Li Ke shouted from afar outside Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom.
Hearing that her son was back, Yang Shufei was also very happy. I hurriedly greeted him, and in a hurry, I forgot to wear a warm shirt.
After seeing Li Ke, he hurriedly pulled Li Ke and said: "I want to kill my mother in the past few months, and I don't know how to take care of myself, and I have become thin and dark." ”
Li Ke smiled and said, "Ke'er is becoming stronger than before. So the mother concubine doesn't have to worry about Ke'er, and the mother concubine must take care of her body at that time. ”
"You can't run out without wearing a cold coat like this, what if you really get caught in the cold."
After Li Ke finished speaking, he took a cotton coat from Yue'er's hand. It was draped directly on Yang Shufei's body. Then he pulled Yang Shufei into the dormitory.
Although there were a few pots of charcoal in the dormitory, the room still seemed a little cold. You can only feel warm when you sit around a charcoal fire.
After looking at it, Li Ke said to Yue'er: "Go and say hello to the prince and ask him to bring those craftsmen over." ”
After Yue'er nodded, she turned around to find Wang De. And Li Ke began to talk with Yang Shufei about the parting feelings during this time.
……
"His Royal Highness King Qi, what are you going to do, how did you get these masons to come over. Could it be that two more houses in the palace could not be built? "Look at the masons who came in, and the materials they needed. Wang De asked puzzled.
"Princess, don't worry, when has Your Highness done something ridiculous." Yue'er said to Wang De with a smile.
"That's not what I said, you and I think Your Highness is doing the right thing. However, those imperial histories in the court felt that His Royal Highness was ridiculous, and they did not impeach His Highness in front of the emperor. Wang De said after waving his hand.
The two walked as they talked, and soon brought the craftsman to Concubine Yang's bedroom. After handing them over to Li Ke, Wang De took his leave and left.
And Li Ke didn't care about Yang Shufei's puzzled expression, so he began to arrange for those craftsmen to move.
"Ke'er, what the hell are you going to do. Why did he remove the concubine's bed? How do you let your mother rest at night? Seeing that the craftsman moved away from his bed, Yang Shufei asked Li Ke anxiously.
