Chapter 23: Li Shimin's Worries!
Li Shimin was disturbed by Li Ke, and no longer had the idea of continuing to review the chapters, so he was distraught, threw away the pieces in his hand, and walked towards the harem.
Li Ke gave him a problem, and this also made him see a serious consequence, that is, some people have too much power.
Among the princes, only the crown prince Li Chengqian still has a trace of power, and the others are all bare-bones commanders.
The thought flickered in his heart, and Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Hall after a while.
"Slaves and maids meet Your Majesty......" The maids immediately saluted Li Shimin's blessing.
"What about the Queen?"
In a bad mood, Li Shimin was too lazy to take care of these people.
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty, what's the matter? But something went wrong in the Datang states? Empress Eldest Sun walked out of the bedroom, saw Li Shimin's irritated face, smiled lightly, and said.
"It's not that there is a problem with the Datang states!" Li Shimin shook his head and waved the maid outside the door away, then looked at the eldest grandson queen, smiled bitterly, and said: "Guanyin, just now Li Ke came to look for me, saying that he wanted to go to the Western Regions and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire ......"
"Poof......
As soon as the word pension came out, even the eldest grandson queen laughed out loud all of a sudden. How old is Li Kecai, he actually wanted to go to the Western Regions to retire when Li Shimin was consciously in the prime of life.
Besides, the territory of the Tang Empire is vast, why did you choose the Western Regions for retirement?
After pondering for a while, Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "The concubine is rude, how old is Ke'er, so she will consider providing for the elderly, how can this be!" β
"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the son of Erlang, Ke'er is talented, and the poems in Shui Yunxuan are even more magnificent, how can he retire at a young age."
"If you are born in the Li Tang royal family, you should set an example for the people of the world!"
β¦β¦
After saying for a while, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but look at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, did Ke'er say why she went to the Western Regions to retire?" β
Li Ke's request was so strange that even if he was the mother of a country, he was greatly surprised. On his graceful and luxurious face, there was a deep incomprehension in his expression.
Looking at the eldest grandson Empress with a puzzled expression, Li Shimin shook his head, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, and said, "It's not what happened in Shui Yunxuan!" β
Li Ke was worried that the auxiliary would take revenge, and said to me that a prince without power could not fight a powerful minister at all. Rather than stay in Chang'an City and be afraid, it is better to go to the Western Regions for the rest of your life......"
At this moment, Empress Eldest Sun frowned slightly, and she felt a trace of surprise in her heart.
She didn't expect that Li Ke would have such an accurate understanding of the character of the eldest grandson Wuji. According to what she knows about the eldest grandson Wuji, the elder brother, revenge is certain.
In particular, she knew that Tang, the intelligence organization of the Tang Empire, was in the hands of Changsun Wuji, and when she thought of this, Empress Changsun's heart was cold.
Stimulated in her heart, Empress Eldest Sun said, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" β
It's a tricky thing!
One is the King of Wei of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is an important minister of the dynasty, the brother of the queen, the uncle of the prince, and his left and right arms.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!
At this time, it was unbearable to reprimand anyone, or suppress anyone, and for a while, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were a little difficult.
"I plan to hold a banquet with Guanyin in the palace, and convene the auxiliary machine with Li Ke, turning the conflict into a jade silk!" Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he said, "I don't know what Guanyin thinks?" β
Empress Eldest Sun knew that Eldest Sun Wuji was extremely jealous of Li Ke, coupled with Shui Yunxuan's unpleasant trouble, she wanted to get rid of him quickly, and Li Ke was the one with the most similar personality to Li Shimin among the princes.
Such two people are like the tip of a needle against Maimang, even if they really sit together, I am afraid they may not be able to turn hostility into friendship.
"Hoo ......"
Thinking of this, Empress Changsun sighed lightly and said, "If you can really turn war into jade silk, it would be the bestββ! β
β¦β¦
Leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Ke turned around and returned to the palace of King Wei.
Today's Li Ke knows that in the entire Chang'an City, as long as there is any wind and grass, it will reach the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Before Li Shimin made a move, Li Ke didn't want to confront the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, he was alone at this time, and he was undoubtedly looking for death for the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Your Highness, the princess is ......"
Li Ke glanced at Wei Gou, shook his head, and said: "Persuade her to go back, this king has no time to take care of her now, if she is idle and bored, let her learn to be a female celebrity." β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
Li Ke didn't have a good sense of this Concubine Yang. Whether it is what he has heard about in the recent period of time, or the records in history, Li Ke has stayed away from this person.
Sometimes Li Ke thinks that even if Li Shimin is dissatisfied with the original owner, there is no need to harm his son like this.
Because in the records of history, this Li Ke's princess cannot have children. Historically, Li Ke did not have his first son until about 20 years of Zhenguan.
And this son came from the later Xiao family!
β¦β¦
"This palace is like a prison, imprisoning this king here!" Li Ke looked at the palace with birds singing and flowers, rockeries and flowing water, and said: "If this king stays for one more day, Datang will lose a little more." β
Li Ke was full of ideas to make a fortune, but in this desert where business was so scarce, he was stopped by the four words of the Tang royal family.
As a descendant of his duty, Li Ke is extremely yearning for the throne, but when the throne cannot be obtained immediately, what he desires most is rolling money.
He wants to be the first rich businessman in the Tang Dynasty, and he wants to be the first person in the Tang Dynasty to ascend to the throne because of money.
β¦β¦
"Your Highness, Gonggong Han is here and has brought His Majesty's ......!" Xiao Weizi hurried over, looking anxious.
"Open the middle door and welcome the ......"
β¦β¦
"Father-in-law Han, it's my father's ...... here" Li Ke smiled and glanced at Wei Gou, who quickly loaded the prepared silver into Father-in-law Han's cuffs.
Han Gonggong shook his robe, and the furrow above the old face suddenly stretched out, like a daisy blooming in August and September, which had a unique flavor.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Your Majesty has set up a banquet to establish a political hall...... "Han Gonggong chuckled lightly and revealed the news that Li Ke wanted to know.
And this is Li Shimin's request, and Han Gonggong is not a crime, a small transaction, both benefits to each other.
This is an indescribable rule in the palace, because they all know that such unspoken rules cannot be broken or extinct.
This is like the dark side of man, you can only adapt to it, but you can't completely destroy it.
β¦β¦
Hearing this, Li Ke's expression changed slightly, and he casually turned his head to look at Father-in-law Han, and said, "Father-in-law is tired of leading the way, and this king will go ......!" β
