"Mother, the child is also strong, isn't it!"

Li Keqiang held back his tears, smiled, and said, "Mother, why didn't the sixth brother see anyone today?" ”

"Since Su'er moved out of the palace and opened the mansion, the whole person has not been the same!" Concubine Yang was aware of her embarrassing situation, and she was even more worried about the situation of her two sons: "Ke'er, the mother concubine only hopes that you two brothers will live a safe life......

"The mother concubine is not worried about the child, he is mediocre ...... intelligence"

Although Concubine Yang didn't finish speaking, the meaning revealed was already obvious. That is, she didn't want Li Ke to participate in the succession, because she knew that it was impossible.

And her status in the harem is very low, not to mention the queen, there are four side concubines in front of her!

Li Ke looked around, shook his head, and said: "The mother's words are wrong, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty treat me like a jackal, tiger and leopard, and I can't wait to kill it soon." ”

"My father is here, and he has suppressed it. You, my mother and son may still be able to survive, but once our father dies, we will definitely die! ”

At this moment, Li Ke's expression was extremely solemn, this was the first time he confided in his heart: "So this time to win the heir, the child will definitely participate, and regardless of the cost and consequences, he must win!" ”

"Ke'er ......"

Taking a deep look at Concubine Yang, Li Ke took out three jade bottles from his sleeve robe: "Mother, this is a gift from the child!" ”

Taking it from Li Ke's hand, Concubine Yang had a hint of joy on her sad face: "Ke'er, what is this?" ”

This was the first time Li Ke had given her a gift, and the ill-fated imperial daughter Concubine Yang's eyes turned red all of a sudden. This gift represents that the son has grown up and knows that he loves his mother.

Naturally, I was delighted!

Li Ke opened the jade bottle and poured out a little: "Mother, this is a shampoo from the Western Great Food, which can only be used by the Great Food Royal Family. ”

"After washing your hair, the hair will be scented and refreshed!"

"Ke'er, what is the name of this thing, the mother concubine ......accepted it" Hearing Li Ke's words, Concubine Yang was naturally overjoyed.

"Mother, the name of this thing is Piaorou!" Li Ke explained, and then saluted: "Mother, the child is leaving——! ”

"Ke'er, why are you in such a hurry, it's not too late to eat at the concubine's place and leave!" The look on Concubine Yang's face was extremely obvious.

"Mother!" Li Ke's pace slowed down: "Child, I still have to meet the teacher, and it's not too late to have dinner with my mother and concubine in the future!" ”

At this time, Li Ke had to go. At this time, Concubine Yang's excitement about seeing her son at the beginning had subsided, and if she continued to stay, Concubine Yang would notice her difference.

Li Ke knows that it is a long-term thing to get Concubine Yang used to her current self, which requires subtle influence in order to replace Li Ke in Concubine Yang's mind.

Concubine Yang's eyes were full of reluctance, and she looked at Li Ke: "Ke'er, no matter what you decide, the mother concubine will support you!" ”

At this moment, Li Ke was greatly moved in his heart, this is the great mother's love, even if the status is embarrassing, it is nothing in the harem, and in the face of his son's heart to win the heir, he still chose to support.

At this moment, Concubine Yang, in Li Ke's eyes, is the same as the mother of the world, without any scheming and calculation, only a mother's love.

"Mother, I want you to become the most respected woman in Datang, you must!"

Walking out of the Qianqiu Palace, Li Ke made an oath to himself. That is to wait until the eldest grandson queen dies, wait until her power grows, and strongly push Concubine Yang to the throne.

……

"Your Highness, it's not early!" Wei Gou looked respectful: "Do you still want to leave the house?" ”

"Go!"

Nodding, Li Ke: "I must visit the teacher's mansion today, you hurry up and prepare ......"

"Yes!"

……

The carriage rumbled forward, Li Ke looked at the most prosperous West Market in Chang'an City through the window, the prosperity in front of him can be described as extreme, the streets are lined with shops, and from time to time there are Hu merchants from the Western Regions who come out to shout.

The white tea horse gangs walking on the streets, the men and women in Chang'an City, the leisurely overseas strangers, and the employers who bargain with various accents.

Seeing this scene, Li Ke really felt that the description of Chang'an City in history was indeed true, and it was the most open and inclusive city in Chinese history.

It's just that at this time, Li Ke was thinking about something else in his heart. He clearly wanted to be made the crown prince, and finally sat on the dragon chair. There are two necessary conditions: one is to be approved by the emperor, and the other is the support of the minister of civil and military affairs.

However, in addition to these two necessary conditions in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was also a condition, that is, to get the support of the family.

The invincible Yang Guang was pushed down by the family, and now Li Ke is too weak for the family, and if he wants to ascend the throne, he must rely on their strength.

Li Ke knew that the Li Tang Dynasty was established by three forces: one was the Guanlong group, the other was the Shandong group, and the other was the Jiangnan scribes.

Among them, the Guanlong group was a military group composed of Xianbei nobles in the Northern Wei Dynasty, including the Han people of Huhua and the Hu people of the Western Regions.

Today's Guanlong Group, most of them are relatives and nobles of the Li family, as well as people who have established military exploits in the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Shandong Group includes two parts: Shandong Shizu and Shandong Haojie.

Shandong Shi has a long history, strong economic strength, and has a strong clan township foundation, which produces huge political energy, can control the government when entering, and can control the countryside when retreating.

This is a force so huge that Li Shimin is afraid of it, and Li Ke does not want to be contaminated unless it is absolutely necessary. This is a pack of hungry wolves, and if you are not careful, you will be gnawed and there are no bones left.

Shandong Haojie is a group of poor landlords who rose under the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, that is, a local Haoqiang that rose rapidly in the great turmoil in the last years of the Sui Dynasty.

In other words, the so-called Shandong Haojie uses violence to enhance social status, and to put it bluntly, it is a black society.

These people are headed by Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others, this is the imperial party that is absolutely loyal to Li Shimin, even if he Li Ke performs well, these people will not support him.

In the real sense, only the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty can become his confidants and be unswerving.

As for the Jiangnan scribes, they were a great family that existed before the Sui Dynasty unified the south, and they participated in the formulation of the Tang Dynasty's political system and rules on the one hand, and continued to exert influence in the Jiangnan region on the other hand.

These three forces played a great role in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and the recovery and growth of national strength in the early stage. Li Ke knew that if he wanted to surpass Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others, he had to rely on them.

……

Li Ke never overestimates others, but he will never underestimate others, because he knows that this underestimation is sometimes fatal.
