Princess Nanyang did not ask Li Ke what the oracle bone inscriptions on these two sheepskins were and why they were so important. Because Princess Nanyang knows that there are some things that are best not asked by herself.

So Princess Nanyang spoke: "It seems that this matter can only be up to you, if you have the opportunity to meet someone who is proficient in oracle bones." I'll introduce him to you again. ”

After Li Ke nodded, he said to Princess Nanyang: "Then Aunt Lao will pay attention to her nephew." ”

……

At noon the next day, Gao Kan led the Blood Wolf Forbidden Army to Dengzhou City on time. And took over the city defense of Dengzhou City for the first time.

Then together with Xiao Rui and Kong Huiyuan, he went to the Assassin's Mansion to meet Li Ke. And Li Ke had already been waiting for the three of them in the Assassin's Mansion.

After the three of them saw Li Ke, they naturally inevitably saluted Li Ke. Then he stood beside Li Ke in a proper manner, waiting for Li Ke's orders.

Li Ke opened his mouth and said: "Gao Kan, you personally take 1,000 blood wolf forbidden troops and escort Yu Buqun's family to Chang'an City." and sent someone to expedite 800 li to present the king's recital to his father. ”

After Gao Kan snorted, he turned around and left the Assassin's Mansion. led 1,000 blood wolf forbidden troops to escort Yu Buqun's family and embarked on the road to Chang'an City.

After Gao Kan left, Li Ke said to Kong Huiyuan: "Brother, this king will hand over this Dengzhou to you." This place is close to the sea, and it will be of great use to this king in the future. Therefore, the elder brother must guard this Dengzhou city for this king. ”

"The prince can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely guard Dengzhou for the prince." Kong Huiyuan said to Li Ke.

"And the officials of Dengzhou, I'm afraid they can't be used. It's best to take this opportunity to replace them all. However, the replacement of these officials has to be figured out by the elder brother himself. Li Ke said to Kong Huiyuan with a smile.

"It's not a problem, Confucian students are all over the world. As long as the subordinates release the news, there are naturally people who are willing to help the subordinates. Kong Huiyuan said with a nonchalant expression.

Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Xiao Rui: "Brother-in-law, my brother has been studying with Wang Tianlai for so long. Naturally, they already have an understanding of how to govern the people. ”

"But this Dengzhou is not as good as Qizhou, and the family is deeply rooted. In the absence of this king, they may not be so stable. ”

"So this king thinks that his brother-in-law should stay in Dengzhou for a while. After helping my brother stabilize Dengzhou, it's not too late to return to Qizhou. ”

"It's really right for the prince to say that this Dengzhou is not as good as Qizhou. The five surnames and seven sects all have their power here, although the prince pulled out the Zheng family in Xingyang, but the other families were not harmed in the slightest. Xiao Rui nodded and said.

"That's why this king asked his brother-in-law to stay and deal with these big families with his brother. And this king will also secretly pressure them to withdraw their forces from Dengzhou. Li Ke nodded and said.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Kong Huiyuan asked: "Then I don't know how the prince is going to put pressure on them, I'm afraid they may not be worried about what the prince can do to them." ”

"If this king makes them officials in Dengzhou, do you think they will agree?" Li Ke asked Kong Huiyuan with a smile.

"The Shandong clan is headed by five surnames and seven sects, and the five surnames and seven sects will naturally not take the lead in breaking the covenant of the Shandong clan not to become officials."

"But their power in Dengzhou is not a force within their family. Rather, they are attached to some of their small families, just like the Dengzhou Yu family who is not in the rain is attached to the Zheng family in Xingyang. ”

"So this method may not be effective. Because they don't care about the situation of those small families. They will definitely be forced to refuse the prince. Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"That means that these little families will be caught in the cracks. If at this time, the king has the evidence of their guilt. How do you think they will choose in the face of the survival of the family? Li Ke said.

"The subordinates that the prince said naturally understand, but how easy is it to find the evidence of their crimes?" Kong Huiyuan opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"This king has ordered King Qin Guang to enter Dengzhou, and there is evidence of their guilt thoroughly investigated. Is there anything else for my brother to worry about? Li Ke asked Kong Huiyuan with a smile.

"Brother Xiao, just as you said on the road when you came. If the prince does not move, he will definitely follow up in an all-round way, and will not leave any opponent a chance to breathe. Kong Huiyuan said to Xiao Rui with a smile.

"It turns out that my brother-in-law has long known about this king's plan. It seems that you should put some burden on your brother-in-law. Li Ke said to Xiao Rui with a wicked smile.

Xiao Rui sighed helplessly, and then said to Kong Huiyuan: "Brother Kong, I was miserable by you this time. ”

……

After the matter in Dengzhou was dealt with, Li Ke temporarily left the Blood Wolf Forbidden Army in Dengzhou to be responsible for the city defense. Then he returned to Qizhou with Princess Nanyang.

At the same time, Li Ke's 800 miles were also sent to Chang'an City. When Wang De handed over Li Ke's recital to Li Shimin.

couldn't help but make Li Shimin angry, and directly ordered to wait for Yu Buqun to escort him into Beijing. and beheaded his entire family.

At this time, Li Tai, who was not long-sighted, opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, any case should be verified before being convicted. At the very least, the father should also give the Yu family a chance to defend themselves. ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, not only Li Shimin was gloomy. Even the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but sigh secretly and shook his head. And Li Chengqian couldn't be happier in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

Before Li Shimin could get angry, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, there is no need to retry the assassination of His Royal Highness King Qi. There is no need to even escort them to the capital, just ask them to be beheaded on the spot. ”

"Let those who try to assassinate the royal family know. The emperor will never tolerate such rebellious ministers and thieves. ”

At the same time, the eldest grandson Wuji also glared at Li Tai fiercely, which couldn't help but let Li Tai know that he had said the wrong thing. So he lowered his head and said nothing.

In fact, the reason why Li Tai was so impulsive was because he felt that Li Ke had leaned towards Li Chengqian. Suppressing Li Ke is equivalent to suppressing Li Chengqian.

But he ignored the fact that the person who was assassinated was Li Shimin's son. is also his Li Tai's own brother.

Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, the expression on Li Shimin's face eased somewhat. Then he said: "In the opinion of the eldest grandson, there is no need for me to see such rebellious ministers and thieves. ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter to kill Yu Buqun's family halfway. He also asked the emperor to send the eunuchs to follow the last general to deliver the decree. ”

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then said to Wang De: "Choose a eunuch who is clever in handling affairs, take my holy decree, and go with Lu Guogong." ”

After Wang De sighed, he stood behind Li Shimin again in a proper manner. At the same time, Wang De's heart was so happy that his apprentice's revenge had finally been avenged.
