"Li Ke, you and other brothers, although they were not born to the same mother. But it also has the blood of the Tang royal family. So in the future, we must support each other and don't do anything that makes people laugh at it. Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Ke with a loving face.

This didn't sound wrong, but Li Ke found a hint of the eldest grandson's innocent reminder from it. That is to tell Li Ke that you are not the concubine of the current emperor.

And the so-called mutual support, I'm afraid it's just Li Ke supporting others. Who made himself just a concubine prince?

"The queen can rest assured that her sons know what to do. In the future, I will naturally try my best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Li Ke said respectfully to Empress Changsun.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Empress Eldest Sun nodded with satisfaction. Then he took people out of the Inner Servant Province and went back to the palace and the political hall.

However, Li Ke saw a trace of anger from Li Tai's face. The reason is Li Ke's sentence to assist the crown prince Li Chengqian.

But now Li Ke is not in the mood to care, and the two brothers are fighting in a nest. It's about saving your hard-won life.

Now Li Ke can preliminarily conclude that it was definitely not this Li Tai who pushed him into the pond of the Imperial Garden that day, but someone else.

No matter who started that day, Li Ke had to be more careful. lest the same thing happen again. Li Ke didn't want to die like Li Kuan.

……

Li Ke combed through his memories of this era, and wanted to find someone who could support him. After all, Li Ke still understands the truth that it is difficult to support a lonely tree.

So Li Ke asked Yue'er to bring the four treasures of the study, and then wrote a personal name on the paper. The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Wei Chigong, Li Tao (Xu Maogong) and other veterans of Zhenguan.

Li Ke knew very well in his heart that none of these people would be used for himself. Not even standing on the opposite side of oneself is already the best outcome.

The reason is that these people are the main force that overthrew the Great Sui, but Li Ke's life experience is inextricably linked with the Sui Dynasty. This is also the reason why he is looked down upon in the palace.

In other words, who has a bastard grandfather who is cruel and unkind, bullying his mother and playing with his sister, and killing his brother and father. I feel like I can't lift my head.

Even the original Li Ke thought so, otherwise he wouldn't have swallowed his anger all the time. But today's Li Ke doesn't think so, he is like some people in the 21st century.

In their hearts, they have always believed that the King of Shang and Emperor Yang of Sui are by no means as recorded in the history books. It may even be a generation of Mingjun.

It's just that what they did touched the bottom line of the big families and princes. So they eventually became the tyrants recorded in the history books.

However, even if Li Ke thinks so, it can't change the impression of people in the world. In the final analysis, Li Ke's grandfather, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, is an out-and-out scum of the faint monarch.

Just when Li Ke was thinking wildly, Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De came. After respectfully bowing to Li Keshen, he said, "Your Highness, the emperor asked you to go to the Manna Palace. ”

"Princess, I don't know what the emperor has called this king to do so late?" Li Ke asked Wang De with a worried expression.

Wang De looked back and saw that there was no one else around him, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Ke: "The queen came to the Lizheng Palace just now, and as for what she said to the emperor, the slave doesn't know. ”

However, the servant looked at the emperor's expression and did not mean to be angry at all. So Your Highness doesn't have anything to worry about. ”

After Li Ke nodded, he said to Wang De: "Then please ask the prince to lead the way, and this king will go with the prince to see his father." ”

……

Li Ke walked towards the Ganlu Palace, and kept thinking to himself in his heart. Li Shimin is looking for what is going on with him. Empress Eldest Sun said something to Li Shimin just now.

Not long after, Li Ke was led by Wang De to the outside of the Ganlu Palace. Wang De said to Li Ke: "Your Highness will wait here for a while, and the slave will go in and report to the emperor." ”

Li Ke nodded and said to Wang De: "Then there is Prince Lao." ”

From beginning to end, Li Ke spoke to Wang De with such politeness. This is something that Wang De has never felt, so he is even more grateful to Li Ke.

After a while, Wang De walked out again and said to Li Ke: "The emperor let His Highness in." ”

Immediately took Li Ke into the Manna Palace, and Li Ke respectfully bowed to Li Shimin three times and bowed nine times. Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "I don't know what my father and emperor have to explain when he summoned his sons?" ”

"I have called you today because I have something to ask, and I hope you will answer me truthfully." Li Shimin put down the wolf pen in his hand and said to Li Ke.

"I don't know what my father wants to ask my son, as long as my son knows, he must know everything." Li Ke said in a proper manner.

"What do you think of this palace, how comfortable it is?" Li Shimin asked Li Ke expressionlessly.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ke's heart couldn't help but tighten. It seems to be just as I guessed. What he did during the day today may have been told to Li Shimin by Empress Changsun.

Now that the matter has come to this, Li Ke naturally has no need to hide anything. So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, if there is no father and mother in this palace, the sons and daughters don't want to stay for a day." ”

"Why do you feel that? I'm eager to hear from you. Li Shimin was also interested, and his expression was not as serious as just now.

"Father, you don't know anything, because of the family background of the son's mother and concubine. As a result, the princes and princesses in the palace did not want to see their sons. ”

"Even those small princes often say that their sons are remnants of the previous dynasty. If it weren't for the emperor's favor of the mother, I'm afraid that the three of us would have been kicked out of the palace long ago. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Today, you had a dispute with Eldest Sun Jun and Eldest Sun Yan, is it because of this matter?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.

"What my father said is right, they are speaking foul language to their sons in front of their sons today. In the end, the sons couldn't bear it anymore, so they would be punished with a big punishment. Then Li Ke told Li Shimin what happened.

"You have indeed suffered a lot of grievances during this time. I thought that keeping you by my side would be a kind of protection for you. It seems that I was really wrong. ”

"Since you no longer have any sense of belonging in this palace, I don't know if you can be the official of the fief." Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.

"The sons and daughters obey their father's father in everything, as long as it is what his father decides. Erchen will not hesitate to do it. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Shimin naturally understood that Li Ke was unwilling to stay in the palace. Then he spoke: "Then tomorrow I will announce on the Jinluan Palace, let you go to the official of the fiefdom." lest they remain any longer in the land of right and wrong. ”
