Li Ke never expected that Kong Zhixuan would send his son to his subordinates. With the eldest grandson of the Confucian family in Qufu by his side, Li Ke will inevitably become the object of Confucian support.

However, Li Ke was not only not happy, but had some worries. After all, his current obscene development is the last word. If you look extraordinarily high-profile, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for yourself.

Seeing Li Ke frowning, Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Does King Qi think that I am not qualified enough to seek an official position under King Qi?" ”

Hearing Kong Huiyuan's words, Li Ke knew that Kong Huiyuan would be wrong. So he said, "What did my brother say, if my brother came to help me, I was too late to be happy." ”

"It's a pity that my identity is very special, if it seems very high-profile. I am afraid that not only the ministers of the court will be dissatisfied, but even my father and emperor are afraid that they will be wary. ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Kong Zhixuan couldn't help but nodded. Then he said: "What King Qi said is right, after all, the civil and military generals in the court today are all rich and noble in exchange for overthrowing the Great Sui. ”

"The last thing they want is for the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty to take power. Even those remnants of the Sui Dynasty in the current court are often suppressed by them. ”

"And the King of Qi has the blood of the Sui Dynasty royal family, which makes them feel even more jealous. I'm afraid that people are being sent to keep an eye on King Qi all the time. ”

"My father-in-law is right, but now I don't know that Qizhou is full of eyeliner. Even in my palace, there are many important ministers in the court. Li Ke nodded and said.

"Father, if you just said that, the situation of His Royal Highness King Qi should be very dangerous. If you are not careful, I am afraid that it will be doomed. Kong Huiyuan said worriedly.

Kong Zhixuan nodded, and then asked Li Ke, "Then I don't know how King Qi is going to deal with this incomprehensible situation?" ”

"From the ancient road boat to the bridge, it is naturally straight, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. As long as I don't do anything excessive, even if the eldest grandson Wuji wants to sue my father, my father won't do anything to me. Li Ke said.

"Now that the emperor is in power, it is naturally easy to say, after all, the emperor is a famous favorite child. But if you wait for the emperor to be a hundred years later, when the new monarch ascends the throne. I'm afraid it's not that simple. Kong Huiyuan said with a tense face.

Kong Huiyuan is right, the ending of Li Ke in history is exactly like this. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to kill Li Ke.

Li Ke didn't expect that Kong Huiyuan would see things so clearly. This couldn't help but make Li Kegao glance at Kong Huiyuan.

So he said, "So I have to give myself the ability to protect myself." Otherwise, as my brother said, once my father controls Bintian, then my death time will come. ”

"Then I don't know how you are going to protect yourself, you can't raise a private army privately, right? If that's the case, I'm afraid that before the new emperor ascends the throne, the emperor will no longer be able to tolerate King Qi. Kong Zhixuan said.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, now whether it's my father or the emperor, or His Royal Highness the crown prince. They still need me, because I am the only one who can make the Shandong clan an official. ”

"So even if they cross the river and tear down the bridge, the rabbit and the dead dog cook, it will not be done until they cross the river and hit the prey."

"And that's enough time for me to gather my strength. So I think my brother rushed to Qizhou to help me, so naturally there is no problem. But Confucian students must not be allowed to come to Qizhou. ”

"In any case, now our Qufu Kong family has become grasshoppers on the same rope with King Qi. As for what should be done in the future, King Qi only needs to inform him. Kong Zhixuan said.

"When I return to Qizhou, maybe things will seem ridiculous, and then my father-in-law will know it." Li Ke said to Kong Zhixuan with a smile.

"Ming Xiu plank road is dark Chen Cang, and great wisdom and foolishness are the real wise people. The truth of shooting a bird in the head is not something that everyone can really understand. Kong Zhixuan nodded and said.

……

For the next few days, Li Ke stayed at Kong's house. If you have nothing to do, you can chat with Kong Zhixuan and Kong Huiyuan, and also exchange two cans of Tieguanyin from the plane shop.

This Tieguanyin is not the tea that appeared in the Tang Dynasty. So as soon as he took it out, it naturally made Kong Zhixuan love it.

In the Tang Dynasty, tea was not something that the people could drink. That's a high-end product that only scholars are eligible to enjoy.

Although Kong Zhixuan often drinks some tea, the quality cannot be compared with the Tieguanyin taken out by Li Ke. So naturally, I can't put it down because of this Tieguanyin.

Kong Zhixuan drank Tieguanyin while opening his mouth and said to Li Ke: "This Li merchant is really not as simple as an ordinary businessman. The goods he took out alone were not available to any businessman. ”

"If you can take this Li Shang for your own use, then King Qi will not worry about running out of money to spend. And as long as King Qi has money in his hands, there are many things that are much easier to do. ”

"My father-in-law is right, although money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. As long as I have money in my hands, even my father will bow to me. Li Ke nodded and said.

"Having said that, it is definitely not an easy task for King Qi to take Li Shang for his own use. After all, such a person is not so easy to subdue. Kong Zhixuan opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"Everything is man-made, as long as I can make conditions that the other party can't refuse. Naturally, there is a way to make him work for me. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Kong Zhixuan.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Kong Zhixuan couldn't help but nodded. Then he said to Kong Huiyuan beside him: "After you arrive in Qizhou, you have to learn from the King of Qi well." ”

"Although you are proficient in the Four Books and the Five Classics, you are very lacking in the way of dealing with people. If you can't learn and put it into practice, you will end up like your father and your grandfather. ”

When Kong Huiyuan heard Kong Zhixuan's words, he immediately knelt in front of Kong Zhixuan and said, "Please rest assured, father, after the child arrives in Qizhou, he will study hard with the King of Qi." ”

"In the future, the Confucian family will definitely be carried forward. I will never let the people of the world say that we are the Confucian family in Qufu, but we just live under the aura of the ancestor Confucius. ”

The words of the father and son made Li Ke feel invigorated. Li Ke never expected that Kong Zhixuan's father and son were not proud of being the descendants of Confucius.

On the contrary, he also wants to push his family to a higher level. This couldn't help but make Li Ke look at the father and son even more.

So Li Ke opened his mouth and said: "Father-in-law, although I don't dare to guarantee what will happen to the Qufu Kong family in the future. But what I can guarantee is that when my brother is by my side, he will definitely become a person who is both civil and military. ”

"Hahaha, from ancient times to the present, my Confucian family will only produce students. Even if he is an official in the court, he is just revising books and writing history. ”

"If you can produce a Confucian general who can lead the army, it can be regarded as better than the blue." Kong Zhixuan said with a laugh.
