But now Li Shimin has to change his mind. It was even agreed that Li Ke would be in control of the military and political power in the fiefdom within a year.

Because Li Shimin felt a hint of crisis, and his consciousness came from the crisis brought about by the Guanlong Family Group. With the lessons of the Sui Dynasty there, Li Shimin had to be very nervous.

Because Li Shimin already vaguely felt that the Guan Long family was eager to try. Although the Guan Long family is not like the Shandong family, they resolutely do not become officials.

But they were ready to play the same game of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, playing with the imperial power in applause. This is something that no monarch wants to see, let alone Ming Jun Li Shimin.

Therefore, Li Shimin decided to let Li Ke cultivate strong strength as soon as possible. In order to contain the Guanlong clan. The best way is for Li Ke to incorporate the Shandong clan, so that he can exert the greatest restraint on the Guan Long clan.

After Li Ke read it, he put the secret letter on the candle flame and lit it. Then it slowly turned to ashes. After all, if this secret letter is inadvertently revealed, I am afraid it will bring endless trouble to Li Shimin.

Seeing that Li Ke burned the secret letter, Wang De said: "Does the prince understand the emperor's intentions?" Now the emperor is deliberately cultivating the prince, hoping that the prince will not live up to the emperor's expectations. ”

In fact, Wang De's loyalty to Li Shimin is absolutely undoubted. Even the loyalty has exceeded 90%.

Even if Li Ke used compulsory reinforcement on Wang De, it did not make Wang De's loyalty to Li Shimin decrease. It's just that at the same time, Li Ke also has a high loyalty of 80%.

"The king naturally understands the intention of the father, but if the king really does that. I'm afraid that in the end, my father will be even more troubled. Li Ke said with a sigh.

"Say something that a slave shouldn't say, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like a virtuous person now. In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very narrow-minded, and he is almost the same as his uncle Eldest Sun Wuji. Therefore, if he inherits the Tang Dynasty, it may not be a good thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

And it is very likely to become the puppet of the Guan Long family and the spokesperson of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court. Even if Li Tai, the king of Yue, replaces the crown prince, I am afraid that the ending will not change in the slightest. Wang De thought about it and said to Li Ke.

Because of Wang De's identity, he is Li Shimin's personal eunuch, and it is a capital crime to discuss the affairs of the court. If it weren't for Wang De's loyalty to Li Ke and Li Shimin, he would not have said such a thing anyway.

After hearing this, Li Ke smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherited the Tang Dynasty, and it is indeed possible that this situation will occur. But it's definitely better than this king becoming the crown prince of the dynasty. ”

The prince's worries were understood. The prince is worried that because of the special status of the prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the important ministers of the court to accept it. At that time, not only will the Guanlong Group vigorously oppose it, but I am afraid that even the Military General Group may not want to see it. ”

"This is also the reason why the emperor let the prince hoard power. However, the emperor still has a sentence for the old slave to tell the prince, that is, the Shandong family can not be raised. Wang De said.

Li Ke couldn't help but nodded, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that his cheap father, His Majesty Li Er, is really a person who thinks of danger in times of peace." With this foresight alone, he deserves to be a wise man through the ages. ”

Because with Li Ke's understanding of history, he naturally knows what happened after Li Zhi ascended the throne. At that time, the eldest grandson Wuji had almost dominated the dynasty, if it weren't for Wu Zetian's execution of the eldest grandson Wuji's entire family, I'm afraid no one knows what the final outcome would be.

And the consequence of Wu Zetian's doing this is that he can no longer gain a foothold in Chang'an. Therefore, in desperation, he chose to move the capital to Luoyang, and won the support of the Shandong family.

But Li Shimin's intention is not just to boycott the Guanlong group. Instead, together with the Shandong Shizu group, they must all be in control of the hands of the imperial court. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be stormy, and even every time a new monarch ascends the throne, he will be swayed by the family.

And Li Shimin didn't think wrong, Datang really embarked on this bloody road. Before each generation of emperors ascended the throne, they must first show their iron wrists, otherwise they will not want to sit on the throne.

Seeing Li Ke's contemplative expression, Wang De continued to speak: "The emperor has given the prince a difficult task, although I don't know what the final result will be. But the slave hopes that the prince can work hard according to the emperor's expectations. ”

"The prince went back and told his father, and said that the king would do his best. In the end, whether it can be reversed depends on the will of God. Li Ke nodded and said to Wang De.

This couldn't help but make Wang De's face smile. To put it bluntly, Wang De was really a little worried that Li Ke would refuse. After all, Li Ke gives the world the impression that he is a gentleman who does not do his job.

……

Early the next morning, Li Ke led Wang Tianlai to wait for the civil and military officials of Qizhou, and came to wait quietly outside the city gate. Waiting for the person who deserves to go out of the city to greet him.

But when it was almost noon, Li Ke didn't see that person appear. This couldn't help but make Wang Tianlai and the others very angry.

After all, in their hearts, Li Ke is the most noble. Let the most noble king in their hearts greet them personally, which already made them very dissatisfied in their hearts.

Now after waiting for most of the day, I didn't see the shadow of that person. This made Wang Tianlai and others even more angry.

And said directly to Li Ke: "Lord Wang, although my subordinates don't know who this person is. But this act of unfaith alone is not worthy of such attention from the prince. ”

Not only did Wang Tianlai say this to Li Ke, but even Sun Wei, the governor of Qizhou, nodded yes. I feel that what Wang Tianlai said is true.

But Li Ke said with a smile on his face: "Since ancient times, how strange people have been, how can we look at them with normal thinking." It's not very hard to wait here, so why complain here? ”

Hearing Li Ke say this, everyone naturally closed their mouths. But his heart is very unhappy, and he is even ready to find trouble with someone.

At this time, Yue'er hurried to the city gate. And said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, there is a Taoist from the palace. said that he had something important to ask to see the prince, and now he is waiting in the living room. ”

Hearing Yue'er say that a Taoist came to the palace, Li Ke couldn't help but feel in his heart. I'm afraid this person is the one I have to wait for.

At the same time, a name also appeared in Li Ke's mind, which couldn't help but make Li Ke look forward to it very much. If this person is really the person he thinks, then his cheap father Li Er's Majesty is definitely a charcoal in the snow.

And at this time, Wang De, who was beside Li Ke, said with a smile: "It seems that it is really a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and the prince leads Qizhou Wenwu to wait here." He actually ran to the prince's palace alone. ”
