"Your Highness, are you really going to send those two people to Chang'an City?" Yue'er asked Li Ke while grinding ink for Li Ke.

"What, is there anything Yue'er worried about?" Li Ke raised his head and looked at Yue'er, and asked curiously.

"Your Highness, those old ministers in the court are eager for the prince to make a fool of himself. If the prince really offended the Langya royal family, they didn't know how to be happy. Yue'er said angrily.

"Don't worry, those old guys can't help this king. And it is impossible for the Langya royal family to watch this king send Wang Kai to Chang'an City. Li Ke said with a smile.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Yue'er nodded obediently, and began to sharpen ink for Li Ke seriously. didn't say anything to Li Ke again.

Li Ke picked up the wolf brush, praised the ink, and then brushed and wrote. Soon a letter was written.

After writing it, Li Ke ordered Yue'er to call Gao Kan over, handed Gao Kan the fold and said: "You rode a fast horse to Chang'an City overnight today, and you must hand over this fold to Wei Xiang in person." ”

After Gao Kan took the fold, he turned around and left Li Ke's study. I went to the stable and picked up a good horse, and then got up overnight and rushed to Chang'an City.

……

"Your Highness, the Langya royal family is here. Now he is waiting for His Highness in the guest room. Yue'er came to Li Ke's study and said to Li Ke.

"It's about the same time as the king predicted, and since he's here, the king will go and see him." Li Ke said with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, he has brought a large box of gifts. I'm afraid that he was preparing to bribe His Highness and let His Highness raise his noble hand and let Wang Kai go. Yue'er said to Li Ke seriously.

"They did not come to see the king this time, but they did not come to show favor to the king, let alone bow their heads to the king. but came to dig a pit for the king. ”

"If this king is a little careless, I'm afraid he will be led away by the Langya royal family in the future." Li Ke said with a helpless smile.

After a while, Li Ke came to the living room, and Wang Gui in the living room saw Li Ke coming, so he hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Ke.

After Li Ke sat on the main seat, he opened his mouth and said to Wang Gui: "I don't know who you are, what is the intention of coming to see this king?" ”

Li Ke asked Wang Gui who was kneeling on the ground with a serious expression. And did not let Wang Gui stand up.

Of course, Wang Gui understands that this is Li Ke's preparation to give himself a dismount. So he knelt on the ground and said, "The grass people are the kings of the Langya family. ”

"I came to see the prince today, for the matter of the third son of the Langya royal family. This is a small gift from the head of the family, and the prince is invited to smile. ”

"If this king does not understand correctly, this is the Langya royal family openly bribing this king. In order to achieve the goal of rescuing Wang Kai. ”

"This king will receive your congratulatory gifts today, and tomorrow those royal histories who have heard the wind and performed will visit this king in front of his father. When the time comes, I am afraid that this king will not be able to protect himself. Li Ke said

"The prince was too worried, and the head of the family heard that the prince likes to visit Zen and worship the Buddha, so he specially found someone to make a Buddha statue. Let the grass people give him to the prince. ”

"It's just an ordinary Buddha statue, how can it be called a bribe to the prince." Wang Gui opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

After Wang Gui finished speaking, he stood up and opened the wooden box himself. I saw that there was a Buddha statue in the wooden box. The height is about three feet.

However, Wang Gui did not take it out of the wooden box, but only pointed to the Buddha statue in the wooden box at Li Ke. This means that there is no silver or gold in the box.

If it is simply a Buddha statue, it naturally cannot constitute the crime of bribing Li Ke. But if you want to exchange him for Wang Kai, I'm afraid the weight is too light.

This inevitably made Li Ke suspicious, so he stepped forward and took a closer look at this Buddha statue. I want to see if this Buddha statue is an ancient Buddha.

If it is an ancient Buddha, it is more precious than giving a box of gold and silver treasures. It's not just about taking bribes.

This is also a common trick used by the Shandong clan to win over the military and political dignitaries of various state capitals in Shandong. After all, as long as the other party accepts their bribes, it is equivalent to having a handle in their hands.

Therefore, he had to obey the Shandong clan, which is why Li Shimin has been in business for more than ten years and has not been able to make the Shandong clan bow his head.

(The Shandong referred to here is not the current Shandong Province, but the area east of the Kushan or Huashan Mountains.) ）

And these officials who took office may not all be greedy for money, so the Shandong clan will rack their brains to do what they like. Often, as long as there is a slight weakness, it will be infinitely magnified by them.

However, what made Li Ke feel strange was that the Buddha statue in the wooden box was not an ancient Buddha.

And it is obvious that it was cast in a short period of time. Even the craftsmanship seems to be so crude.

Even if this Buddha statue is brought to the market, I am afraid that no one will care about it. It can be said that it is definitely a genuine defective product.

Just when Li Ke was puzzled, the sin base prompt in his mind sounded, "A large amount of gold has been found within the reach of the host." ”

"Please choose whether to top it up in the Plane Shop and keep it for future purchases of items in the Plane Shop."

"If the host chooses to recharge, place their hands on the gold, and the Sin Base will automatically ingest the gold inside it to complete the recharge,"

The prompt sound of the sin base made Li Ke finally understand what was going on. I didn't expect that the defective Buddha statue in front of me turned out to be inside.

If he really accepted him as an ordinary Buddha statue, then I am afraid that he really won't be able to stay in this Qizhou.

So Li Ke chose to exchange without hesitation. He reached out and pressed directly on the Buddha statue, and closed his eyes slightly as if he was sensing something.

The process of ingesting gold from the Sin Base took only ten seconds to complete. And this is the balance on the plane shop that shows that it has 1,600 taels of gold. This was completely beyond Li Ke's expectations.

I didn't expect the golden Buddha (hollow) in front of me to weigh 100 catties. Using 100 catties of gold to build a golden Buddha statue is really big enough.

"The Langya royal family is really generous, I don't know how much this three-foot-tall golden Buddha is worth?" After Li Ke took his hand back from the Buddha statue, he asked Wang Gui with a smile.

This couldn't help but surprise Wang Gui's heart, because what Li Ke said was not wrong. The Buddha statue in the wooden box is a golden Buddha, and then a layer of ceramics is fired on the outside.

But Wang Gui couldn't understand why Li Ke just touched this Buddha statue with his hand. You can conclude that there is a golden Buddha in front of you.
