After returning to the palace, Li Ke ordered someone to burn a sumptuous feast. For the crown prince Li Chengqian and Lu Guogongcheng, bite the gold to catch the wind and wash the dust.

After the banquet, Li Chengqian and Cheng Yanjin naturally stayed in the palace of King Qi. And Li Chengqian had already asked about Li Ke's assassination as an excuse, and asked Li Ke to his room alone.

"Third brother, this palace didn't think of it anyway. The maid who was given to you that day turned out to be Shan Xiongxin's daughter. Li Chengqian said to Li Ke with a sighing expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to blame himself, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know Shan Ailian's identity. Otherwise, how could he give her to his brother? Li Ke said with an indifferent expression.

Having said that, the third brother was in danger of suffering because of this. The palace can't stay out of the matter no matter what, and if the third brother wants to report the matter to his father, the palace is willing to accept his father's disposal. Li Chengqian said to Li Ke with a sincere expression.

"Whatever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, let the past pass, so why bother my father. Besides, isn't the younger brother unharmed? Li Ke said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"I didn't expect the third brother to be so magnanimous, and this kindness is remembered in my heart. One day, it will definitely be returned to the third brother. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"Brother Huang, there is no need to mention Shan Ailian's matter. However, the younger brother has a person to introduce to the imperial brother. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel puzzled. I don't know who Li Ke wants to introduce to him. So he asked Li Ke: "I don't know who the third brother recommended?" ”

"Ordinary ministers naturally can't introduce him to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This person's identity is not ordinary, he is Cui Yongjian, the grandson of Qinghe Cui's family. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

The person who heard that Li Ke was going to introduce him turned out to be the eldest grandson of the Qinghe Cui family. This couldn't help but make Li Chengqian's eyes light up.

After all, the Qinghe Cui family had to let Li Chengqian pay attention. If Li Chengqian can really get the support of the Qinghe Cui family, then his status in the DPRK and China will be greatly improved.

It also means that his position as the crown prince will be more stable. At that time, even if Li Tai has the heart to win the heir, I am afraid that he may not have that ability.

However, Li Chengqian felt strange again, after all, Li Ke's mission when he came to Qizhou was to make the Shandong clan an official.

If Cui Yongjian is willing to become an official, it will be too late for Li Ke to be happy. Naturally, you want to stay by your side and entrust you with important tasks, so why introduce yourself to yourself?

So Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Third brother, now you are the king of Qi who owns the fiefdom of the seven states. Naturally, you need someone to assist you, so how can this palace win people's love? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know anything, although his father gave his younger brother a fief in seven states. But to be honest, my brother really doesn't want to take on this drudgery. ”

"Besides, even if the younger brother wants to rule the seven states, I'm afraid he doesn't have that ability. Therefore, it is useless for this Qinghe Cui family grandson to stay with his younger brother. ”

"The point is that the eldest grandson of the Qinghe Cui family has been expelled from the Qinghe Cui family because he is unwilling to accept the family marriage."

"If the younger brother keeps him by his side, it will anger the Qinghe Cui family. In this way, it will be more difficult for the younger brother to complete the task assigned by his father. Li Ke said to Li Chengqian without concealment.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Since he has become the abandoned son of the Qinghe Cui family, he naturally has nothing to do with the Qinghe Cui family. Why did the third brother need to introduce him to the palace? ”

"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know Yan Tingming?" Li Ke opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian.

Hearing Yan Tingming, Li Chengqian was naturally no stranger. After all, since Yan Tingming was appointed by Li Shimin as the imperial historian of the Imperial History Terrace, he has already thrown himself into Li Tai.

Whether it's above the court, or in peacetime. This Yan Tingming will try his best to defend Li Tai, even at the expense of being his enemy.

Therefore, Li Chengqian can be regarded as hating this Yan Tingming. I can't wait to find an opportunity to get rid of this Yan Tingming.

So Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "This Yan Tingming Palace knows that I heard that he and his third brother still have some festivals. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the reason why Yan Tingming went to Chang'an City to become an official is because his brother killed his son."

"He was worried that the Langya Yan family would be implicated, so in order to protect the Langya Yan family, Yan Tingming became an official." Li Ke nodded and said.

"No wonder this Yan Tingming often plays right and wrong in front of his father after he arrives in Chaozhong. Participate in the daily hunting of the third brother and worship the Buddha, and don't care about things like fiefdoms at all. Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"There is nothing strange about this, after all, the younger brother killed his son. But does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know why his brother killed his son? Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"This palace has heard about this, it was Yan Tingming's son Yan Feng who molested his younger siblings first, and he also wanted to assassinate the third brother. That's why the third brother will put him to death. Li Chengqian said.

"But the imperial brother knows why the younger brother has a conflict with this Yan Feng. Then why did Yan Feng flirt with his brother's princess? Li Ke asked Li Chengqian again.

This couldn't help but make Li Chengqian shake his head, after all, Li Chengqian didn't know what the specific course of the matter was.

Seeing Li Chengqian shaking his head, Li Ke continued: "All this was designed by Cui Yongjian, the eldest grandson of the Qinghe Cui family. He did so that he could get close to his brothers. ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be taken aback. And said: "Third brother, since Cui Yongjian is calculating the third brother. Why didn't the third brother let this Cui Yongjian pay the price? ”

Although this Cui Yongjian is the abandoned son of the Qinghe Cui family, in the final analysis, he is also the eldest grandson of the Qinghe Cui family. If the younger brother really dealt with him, I'm afraid the Qinghe Cui family would not give up. ”

But the younger brother really couldn't swallow this breath, so he was ready to introduce this Cui Yongjian to His Royal Highness the Prince. In order to get out of the sulking in the hearts of the ministers. Li Ke said to Li Chengqian in a low voice.

"What does the third brother mean, do you want to borrow the hand of this palace to dispose of this Cui Yongjian?" Li Chengqian asked Li Ke with a straight face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will mistake the meaning of the younger brother, and the younger brother is Cui Yongjian who wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to reuse. and let out the wind, saying that Cui Yongjian was benefited by the head of the Cui family, so he would go to the East Palace to become an official. ”

In this way, the Qinghe Cui family will naturally be condemned by the Shandong clan. It is even possible that the Qinghe Cui family will begin to be crowded. This can be regarded as making the younger brother out of this evil breath. Li Ke waved his hand and said to Li Chengqian.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Chengqian's eyes couldn't help but light up. Because he felt that if it was really as Li Ke said. In the end, it is really possible for him to get the support of the Qinghe Cui family.

Because once the Qinghe Cui family is excluded by the Shandong family, they will inevitably seek a way to protect themselves. When the time comes, the best choice is to throw yourself into it.

So he said happily: "It turns out that the third brother means this." This is just a gesture, and the palace promised the third brother. ”
