Chapter 46: Li Shimin summons the eldest grandson Wuji
When Wang De and Governor Shi came to the prison, Li Ke was still chatting with Kong Jingrou. made Kong Jingrou laugh coquettishly.
Wang De hurriedly took two steps forward and said respectfully to Li Ke: "My little ancestor, why did you come here." The emperor has issued a holy decree, and he must see His Royal Highness King Qi before noon. ”
"Princess, why are you here, it seems that you have seen the gold medal of this king. But I can only trouble the prince and the prince to run in vain, and the king really can't get out of this prison door today. Li Ke said to Wang De with a smile.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials are derelict in their duties, and they don't know that Sun Bantou brought the prince back. The prince is a noble person, how can he stay in this cell? Governor Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"It's not your business. It was the eldest grandson who asked Sun Bantou to lock up this king and Kong Yingda, the granddaughter of Master Kong, Kong Jingrou. ”
"The king told him that it is easy to take off the chains, but it is difficult to take them off." Li Ke said to Governor Yongzhou.
Hearing Li Ke's words, Wang De naturally understood Li Ke's intentions. So he said: "A few of you stay here to protect the prince, and the miscellaneous family will go back to the palace to report the matter to the emperor." ”
After Wang De finished speaking, he turned around and left Yongzhou Mansion, and hurriedly went to Taiji Palace. It is necessary to tell Li Shimin about Li Ke's situation.
……
"The emperor doesn't have to be angry, Li Ke is just playful for a while. I'll be back with the prince in a moment. Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin.
"This kid is too disrespectful, and a whole bunch of us are waiting for him here. He slipped away. Li Shimin said angrily.
"Father, this kang is really comfortable to sit on. When the third brother comes back, can you let him go to the East Palace and set up a kang for his sons. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"Brother Huang, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come to you after the third brother comes back. Don't you see that your father is angry now? Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.
"The fourth brother is wrong, although the third brother has made us wait here for a long time. But after all, we didn't greet people in advance, so naturally the third brother is no wonder about this matter. ”
"My father is a wise king, how can he punish the third brother for this trivial matter. Wouldn't that make others laugh at my father and make a big fuss. Li Chengqian said.
This Li Chengqian has been speaking for Li Ke all the time, and the reason is that Li Ke and Li Tai are not in harmony. So Li Chengqian naturally wanted to win over Li Ke.
Perhaps this is the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. As long as Li Ke and Li Tai do it right, it will be beneficial to Li Chengqian. So Li Chengqian will naturally help Li Ke secretly.
Li Tai has always had extravagant hopes for Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince. No matter when, as long as he can catch the handle, he will never forget to sue Li Chengqian in front of Li Shimin.
So this Li Chengqian has long hated Li Tai to the root of his teeth. Now that someone finally dares to be an enemy of Li Tai, Li Chengqian is naturally very happy.
At this time, Wang De hurriedly walked in. first made a great salute to Li Shimin, and before Wang De could speak.
Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked, "Have you found Li Ke's kid, why didn't you bring him back with you?" ”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi is now locked up in the prison of Yongzhou Mansion. That's why I didn't come back with the minions. Wang De opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"Father, it seems that the third brother has committed some crime, and he was arrested by Yongzhou Mansion. It's a shame for our royal family. Li Tai seized the opportunity and said to Li Shimin.
Seeing the anger on Li Shimin's face, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Father, the third brother will definitely not be arrested and imprisoned in Yongzhou Mansion for no reason, I am afraid that there is something else wrong with this matter." ”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. His Royal Highness the King of Shu was not used to seeing Changsun Lian's bullying and domination, so he was locked in the prison of Yongzhou Mansion by Changsun Lian and Yongzhou Mansion Ma Kuaiban. Wang De opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
Hearing that it was the eldest grandson who was bullying and dominating the market, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy. Even the eldest grandson queen on the side didn't look good.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Shimin asked Wang De with a gloomy face.
So Wang De told Li Shimin about what he knew. After all, Wang De was just introduced by passers-by, so he naturally didn't know much about the specific situation.
However, Wang De will interrogate Sun Bantou in Yongzhou Mansion and tell Li Shimin in detail. made Li Shimin so angry that he was furious on the spot.
So he immediately ordered someone to pass on the eldest grandson Wuji and asked him to bring the eldest grandson to the palace to see him. Then he turned around and took Wang De back to the Manna Palace.
……
Not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji took the eldest grandson to the Ganlu Palace, and when he saw Li Shimin's gloomy face, he knew that his second son must have caused trouble again.
As the saying goes, knowing the son is better than the father. What kind of virtue is his second son, the eldest grandson, Wuji, naturally knows it.
The father and son first gave Li Shimin a great courtesy, and then the eldest grandson Wuji said: "I don't know what the emperor has to say when he summons his ministers?" ”
"I heard that your son, the eldest grandson, sent my son Li Ke, the king of Qi, to the prison of Yongzhou Mansion. I wonder if this is true? Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face.
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Eldest Sun Wuji's head immediately buzzed. I almost didn't faint directly.
After calming down a bit, the eldest grandson Wuji asked the eldest grandson in a sharp voice: "You rebel, what have you done and you haven't recruited me from the truth." ”
"Father, the child has not seen His Royal Highness King Qi. How can he be sent to the prison of Yongzhou Mansion. Besides, how can the child have the ability to send the dignified Prince of the Tang Dynasty to prison. The eldest grandson Huan said to the eldest grandson Wuji with an aggrieved face.
"Eldest grandson, have you forgotten the picture of Baishou in Chang'an West City." Wang De opened his mouth and said to the eldest grandson.
Hearing Wang De speak, the eldest grandson Wuji directly raised his eyes and glared at Wang De. I'm afraid that if Li Shimin hadn't been by his side, the eldest grandson Wuji would have already scolded.
This couldn't help but make Wang De very angry in his heart, and scolded the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart many times. Compared with Li Ke's attitude towards himself, he hated this eldest grandson Wuji even more.
However, on the surface, Wang De still obediently lowered his head and did not say anything more. After all, he is just a eunuch, and he has no right to participate in this matter.
But as the saying goes, it's up to the owner to beat a dog. In front of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji did this, which couldn't help but make Li Shimin very unhappy.
Then he opened his mouth and said: "If I hadn't sent Wang De to find Li Ke, I'm afraid Li Ke would have to spend the New Year in the prison of Yongzhou Mansion." ”
"Rebel, do you still want to be a criminal and deceive the king? Don't hurry up and tell me what happened. The eldest grandson Wuji turned around and gave the eldest grandson a slap in the face, and asked angrily.
At this time, a yellow gate official suddenly came to report. said that Kong Yingda had something to ask to see Li Shimin.
