At this time, Princess Xiangcheng walked out of the mansion. smiled and said, "Don Ma, why don't you let the third brother go to the mansion to talk." This is not the place to talk. ”

Seeing Princess Xiangcheng walk out, Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The eldest sister has always been good, but I haven't seen the eldest sister for a few years. ”

"I'm afraid that the younger brothers and sisters in the palace, you are the only one who can think of the eldest sister. But you're enough. Princess Xiangcheng said to Li Ke with a smile.

……

That night, it was inevitable to wash the dust for Li Ke. On top of the banquet, Princess Xiangcheng said: "Third brother, what difficulties do you have when you come to Qizhou this time. ”

"If you have any difficulties, just tell your brother-in-law. After all, he is a famous family in the land of Qilu, and he can help you somewhat. ”

"Eldest sister, you're really right, although I've only been in Qizhou City for two days. However, a lot of resistance has been felt. ”

"There are many famous families in this Qilu land, and I am afraid it will not be so easy for me to gain a foothold here. That's why I came to see my brother-in-law in person, hoping to get the support of the Xiao family. ”

"After his father ascended the throne, the Shandong family has publicly announced that he will not become an official. If they don't take their father and emperor in their eyes, how can they give you a prince's face. Xiao Rui said with a sigh.

Li Ke nodded and said: "Now among the four families in Shandong, except for the Lanling Xiao family, only the Qufu Kong family is an official. The other families have become the heart disease of the father. ”

"When I came to Qizhou to serve as the assassin this time, I had to find a way to suppress their arrogance. Otherwise, they will always regard themselves as high, and they will not put Datang or their father in their eyes. ”

"I didn't expect your kid's ambition to be not small, why didn't I see it before, eldest sister." Princess Xiangcheng said to Li Ke with a smile.

"My Lanling Xiao family supports the third brother, so naturally it's not a problem. But with my Lanling Xiao family, I'm afraid I may not be able to let the third brother show his strength. ”

"If the third brother wants to really do something in Qizhou, he must at least get the support of several other families. Otherwise, the third brother wouldn't be able to stay in Qizhou for long. Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

In front of people, Xiao Rui naturally called Li Ke His Royal Highness, but now only the three of them were present. So naturally, it's a little casual.

"If I want to be able to get the support of the Confucius family in Qufu, I don't know if my brother-in-law thinks it will allow me to gain a firm foothold in this Qilu land." Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Xiao Rui.

"If you can really get the support of the Qufu Kong family, even if the other families are unwilling in their hearts, they will not dare to openly make enemies of you. After all, the prestige of Confucianism is not something they dare to trample on at will. ”

"But if you want to get the support of the Qufu Kong family, it's not that simple. Although Kong Yingda is now an official in the court, he is also in some idle positions. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's not that he is sincerely doing things for the court, it's just that Confucianism needs him to stand above the court." Xiao Rui said.

"When I first arrived in Qizhou City, I met a woman dressed as a man......" Then Li Ke told Xiao Rui about meeting Kong Jingrou.

"If you can get this Kong Jingrou's heart, presumably even if Kong Yingda is unwilling to support you. I'm afraid that other families will also feel that you have the support of the Qufu Kong family. Xiao Rui said happily.

"Do you need to go to Qufu with my eldest sister and find Kong Zhixuan to propose marriage to you?" Princess Xiangcheng said to Li Ke with a smile.

"I'll wait in advance, after all, I'm going to the Kong family to propose marriage at this time. will make Kong Jingrou feel that I am ready to get the support of the Kong family through her. Li Ke said after waving his hand.

"I didn't expect our third brother to be an amorous seed. Before I could do anything, I first cared about Miss Kong's feelings. Princess Xiangcheng said with a smile.

"Whether you can get the support of the Kong family or not, my Lanling Xiao family will definitely support you to the end. Since you're here in Lanling County, bring something back when you go back tomorrow. Xiao Rui thought about it and said.

In fact, Xiao Rui really didn't dare to decide whether to support Li Ke. After all, once he chose to support Li Ke, it was equivalent to becoming the political enemy of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

After all, any prince may threaten Li Chengqian's crown prince. Who made Li Shimin in the prime of life now.

And the reason why Xiao Rui said this was that at the same time that Li Ke came to Qizhou as an official, Xiao Rui received a letter from his father Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu clearly pointed out in the letter that Xiao Rui should help Li Ke as much as possible. As for other things, Xiao Rui doesn't have to worry about it.

This is also the reason why Xiao Rui decided to support Li Ke, after all, Xiao Rui can't have a good relationship with Li Ke because of his wife. will block the fate of the entire family.

When Li Ke received Xiao Rui's clear answer, he heard a prompt sound in his head: "The host has initially established its own forces, and the new functions of the Sin Base system have met the requirements for opening." Please check with the host. ”

Li Ke has always been unable to understand what kind of conditions are required for the function of the sin base system to be activated. Today, Li Ke finally understood that it was based on the power he had to reach the opening qualification.

However, Li Ke didn't have time to check this new feature at this time, but got up and hugged Xiao Rui and said, "With your strong support today, brother-in-law, Li Ke and I will never forget this kindness." If Li Ke and I have the ability in the future, he will definitely make the Lanling Xiao family comparable to the five surnames and seven sects. ”

"When you are in the palace, no one can afford to look down on a princess. Even those eunuchs and palace maids often gave the princess a look. The reason is because the princess's mother's status is low. ”

"But you are the only one who treats the princess as a sister, and you also let the princess get a touch of home warmth in the palace. Ever since I married the princess, I've heard her talk about it a lot. ”

"Now that you have come to Qizhou alone, how can I ignore my brother-in-law. Don't worry, although the strength of my Lanling Xiao family is not as good as the five surnames and seven sects. ”

"But it's definitely not difficult to send some protégés and former officials to help you take care of Qizhou." Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"Brother-in-law, it's not time for me to take over Qizhou. After all, my prestige and connections in Qizhou are still far from being there. ”

"If you want to take over the whole of Qizhou now, I'm afraid it will backfire. So I think it's better to take it step by step, after all, no one can eat a fat person in one bite. Li Ke said to Xiao Rui.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Xiao Rui finally understood why his father let him support Li Ke to the best of his ability.

And Xiao Rui did not understand wrongly, the reason why Xiao Yu asked Xiao Rui to support Li Ke. Just because of Li Ke's performance in the Taiji Palace.

How can a person who can face so many opposing voices and argue with reason without fear be a general.

In addition, Xiao Yu learned that Li Ke chose the method of 2000 forbidden troops in the Beiya Forbidden Army. I feel even more that Li Ke is not a thing in the pool.
