Chapter 34: Unexpected Support from Xiao Yu
Seeing Wang Gui's surprised expression, Li Ke opened his mouth and said, "This king doesn't dare to accept such a valuable gift, so I'll bother you to take it back." ”
After Li Ke finished speaking, he made a gesture to send off the guest. Then he turned around and left the living room with Yue'er, ignoring Wang Gui in the living room.
……
"Your Majesty, Wei Xiang has something to ask to see." Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De walked into the Ganlu Hall and said to Li Shimin.
This manna hall already belongs to the inner palace in the Taiji Palace, and not everyone can enter it casually. And Wei Zheng is one of these very few.
Hearing that Wei Zheng was coming, Li Shimin put down the book in his hand and said, "Xuan." ”
Not long after, Wei Zheng was led by Wang De into the Ganlu Palace. After Wei Zheng entered the Ganlu Palace, he first bowed three times to Li Shimin and bowed to the monarch and ministers.
Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Wei Zheng: "Wei Xiang quickly calmed down, I don't know what is important to come to see me at this time." ”
If nothing major happens, even if Wei Zheng has a gold medal for entering the inner palace. It is rare to come to the Ganlu Hall to see Li Shimin.
Therefore, as long as you come to see Li Shimin in the Ganlu Palace, something important must happen. And it's urgent.
"Your Majesty, this is a twist and turn sent by His Royal Highness the King of Shu who ordered someone to hurry up and whip up. The minister didn't dare to delay, so he personally sent it to the emperor first. Wei Zheng took out Li Ke's recital and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin ordered Wang De to take the fold. When I opened it, I couldn't help but smile on my face. Then he said, "This kid is quite capable. ”
"Your Majesty, now the handle of the Langya Wang's family has been seized by His Royal Highness the King of Shu. It seems that the alliance of the Shandong family will soon be loosened. Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
"Wang De, you prepare, these days for me to go to Qizhou City, to pass on my holy decree to Li Ke. By the way, tell him and let him go back to Chang'an City for the New Year. Li Shimin said to Wang De beside him.
After Wang De snorted, he hurriedly took the blank holy decree. After paving, he began to polish the ink for Li Shimin.
"Wei Xiang, I am ready to remove Li Ke from the post of assassin of Qizhou, change the title of Li Ke as the king of Qi, and give the right to open the palace and the three divisions."
"Give him Deng, Lai, Mi, Qing, Yi, Yan, Qi, and the seven states as fiefs. I wonder if Wei Xiang thinks it's feasible? Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Wei Zheng.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed conducive to His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the Shandong family. But I'm afraid it will also push His Royal Highness the King of Shu to the forefront. Wei Zheng thought about it and said to Li Shimin.
"I understand what Wei Xiang is worried about, but I think Li Ke should be able to handle it." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Wei Zheng.
"Since the emperor has confidence in His Royal Highness the King of Shu. No, it should be called His Royal Highness King Qi now. Nachen supported the emperor's decision. Wei Zheng said.
"But tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be great resistance to me announcing this. This matter still needs Wei Xiang's support. Li Shimin nodded and said to Wei Zheng.
"The emperor can rest assured, tomorrow morning, the courtiers will definitely go all out." Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.
……
Sure enough, as Li Shimin expected, when Li Shimin raised this matter in the Taiji Palace. The first line, headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, resolutely opposed the conferral of Li Ke.
Wei Zheng naturally stood on Li Ke's side and launched a heated debate with the eldest grandson Wuji and others. For a while, the two sides held their own words, and the argument was inseparable.
At this time, the young prince Xiao Yu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister can't know much about the Shandong family. If His Royal Highness the King of Qi does not have absolute power, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with him to the end. ”
Xiao Yu opened his mouth and called Li Ke His Royal Highness the King of Qi, which also showed that he supported Li Shimin's decision. This surprised everyone.
After all, the first thing Li Ke did when he arrived in Qizhou was to remove a county commander from the Xiao family in Lanling. It can be said that there should be a festival with the Lanling Xiao family.
In addition, Xiao Yu is now the young master of the prince, and he can be regarded as the prince of the East Palace. The sudden support for Li Ke was indeed a big surprise.
However, Li Shimin seized this opportunity and said directly: "Since Xiao Aiqing also thinks that it should be like this, this matter is decided." ”
Hearing that Li Shimin had made a decision on this matter, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others actually knelt on the ground again. Tearfully spoke to Li Shimin. said that if this precedent is opened, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.
"There is no need to discuss this matter again, retreat." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got up and left the Taiji Palace, and hung all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the Taiji Palace.
……
"Your Highness, the Langya royal family is here again. This time it seems that it is Wang Tianlai, the head of the Langya Wang family. Yue'er walked into the study and said to Li Ke.
"Since we're here, let's go and see you. Look at how the head of the Langya Wang family is going to deal with this matter. Li Ke got up and said with a smile.
Then Li Ke and Yu'er came to the living room, and Wang Tianlai saw Li Ke walking in. hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Ke.
And said to Li Ke: "Wang Tianlai, the head of the Langya Wang family, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”
"If this king didn't guess wrong, the head of the Wang family is also here for your son Wang Kai, right?" Li Ke opened his mouth and asked Wang Tianlai.
"What the prince said is right, I came for the sake of children's affairs. I hope that the prince can look at the face of the Langya royal family and make this matter a big deal. Wang Tianlai said bluntly.
"Then I don't know what kind of gift the head of the Wang family brought this time? It can't be the golden Buddha from last time, right? Li Ke opened his mouth and asked Wang Tianlai.
It's okay not to mention the golden Buddha, but when the golden Buddha is mentioned, Wang Tianlai's face showed an indescribable expression.
Because after Wang Gui brought the golden Buddha back to Langya's royal family, he found that it had become a real ceramic Buddha statue. If it weren't for Wang Tianlai's trust that Wang Gui wouldn't steal the beams and change the pillars, I'm afraid Wang Gui would really be at a loss for words.
In the end, after Wang Tianlai asked Wang Gui, he felt that this matter was definitely related to Li Ke. As for how Li Ke managed to steal the beam and change the pillar, then Wang Tianlai can't be determined.
So Wang Tianlai said with a wry smile: "I didn't bring any gifts to see the prince this time, but only sincerity." ”
"Then I don't know what is the sincerity of the Wang family master?" Li Ke looked at Wang Tianlai and asked.
"As long as the prince lets the dog go, my Langya Wang family is willing to owe the prince a favor. One day, the prince will use my Langya royal family, and my Langya royal family will never refuse. Wang Tianlai opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.
"This king really has one thing now, I hope the head of the Wang family can help. I wonder if the head of the Wang family can help this king with this little favor? Li Ke looked at Wang Tianlai and asked.
"I don't know if the prince needs the help of my Langya royal family, as long as my Langya royal family can do it. There will be absolutely no excuses. Wang Tianlai opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.
