Among the three huge groups, the Shandong Shi clan is too powerful, and Shandong Haoqiang is mostly important ministers of the court and the backbone of the army, and these people have nothing to do with him.

Because he only has hatred and no connection with the Shandong Shi clan, and Shandong Haoqiang is even more so.

Although he has some heroic complexes for Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others, Li Ke knows in his heart that these people don't look down on him at all.

Even the crown prince Li Chengqian can't look down on him, let alone him.

……

The nobles of Guanlong, all gathered around Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, and Li Tai was the worst, and Li Zhi could choose.

As for Li Ke, who his grandmother doesn't love and his uncle doesn't love, the only choice is Jiangnan scribes.

And the original owner chose Jiangnan scribes, and they had the same ideas with each other.

His teacher, Cen Wenwen, was the first scribe in Jiangnan and led the entire group of scribes in Jiangnan in the later period of Zhenguan. Moreover, he himself is a son of the Jiangnan family.

Today's Li Ke has the support of Cen Wenwen, which is almost equal to the support of Jiangnan scribes and families.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Ke's mouth rose slightly. The bloody history made him understand a truth, the prince who has no power and no power is a powerful minister who can't fight and has no real power.

Therefore, whether he is fighting for the throne with Li Chengqian, or with Li Tai and Li Zhi, he must have rights.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Li Ke now knows that what he needs is a clique loyal to himself, a civilian clique and a military clique loyal to him.

Only with such a force can he have the ability to compete with them for the throne and be qualified to embark on the road of hegemony.

"Teacher, the master of scheming who is described like a demon in the long song of Zhenguan, I hope not to disappoint this king......"

Cen text.

This is described as a demon-like top scheming master in "Zhenguan Long Song".

A top strategist must first be a talent, technology to make you stand still, and life to make you take a step. And Cen Wenwen is such a talent, he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin.

And as Li Ke's teacher, he worked hard for Li Ke to enter the East Palace all his life, which can be described as exhausting, and finally lost to the eldest grandson Wuji and died with hatred.

This can't be said that Cen Wenwen's resourcefulness is not good, but Li Ke's performance is too strong and too public, which makes Cen Wenwen fall short in the end.

Li Ke remembers clearly that in the Zhenguan Dynasty, because Li Shimin served as Shangshuling when he was the king of Qin, this position was vacant for more than ten years, and in the end, the official title of the head of the prime minister was awarded to Cen Wenwen.

And Cen Wenwen was the first person he stepped onto the throne!

……

"Your Highness, the Cen Shilang Mansion has arrived......" Just as Li Ke's thoughts were flying, Wei Gou's voice came, interrupting his thoughts.

"Xiao Weizi, park the carriage and horses in the carriage and horse farm, and this king will go to see the teacher in person!" With a command, Li Ke got out of the car and walked in.

……

Yongxingfang, in the Cen Mansion, Cen Wenwen is reading a book in the study. As a reader, it is the habit of Cen to read books every day.

Because he knows this, reading is wise and can pass the time of boredom.

"Master, His Royal Highness the King of Shu came to visit ......"

At this time, he heard a report from his subordinates that Li Ke, the king of Shu, had come to visit.

Cen Wenwen hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and brought the housekeeper to greet him and salute: "Chen Cen Wenwen greets His Highness." ”

Looking at the man in his thirties in front of him, dressed as a scholar, Li Ke secretly sighed at his talent and loyalty. Seeing Cen Wenwen giving himself a gift, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and returned the salute and said, "The teacher is so gifted, how can Ke afford it." ”

When Cen Wenwen heard Li Ke's words, his expression changed slightly, and at this moment, he noticed Li Ke's change. There were many doubts in his heart, and he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please ——。 ”

"Teacher, please ——!" At the same time, Li Ke made the same move.

Now Cen Wenwen is not only a minister of the imperial court, but also Li Ke's teacher, and Li Ke's action is very necessary.

Seeing that Li Ke respected him so much, Cen Wenwen was moved in his heart and took half a step back, just like that, Li Ke was in front, and Cen Wenwen followed him half a step into Cen Mansion.

……

When he came to the living room, the maid withdrew after serving tea, and Wei Gou also stood outside the door with interest.

Li Ke explained first: "Ke was injured in the assassination, and he has only recovered so far, and he only visited the teacher today, and I hope the teacher will forgive me." ”

After that, Li Ke took a sip of tea and continued: "In the past year, the teacher has always been good? ”

After going to Qizhou for a year, Li Ke had a lot of confusion about the current situation in Chang'an, and when he saw Cen Wenwen today, he was naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

So while expressing his visit, he was eager to get the answer from Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen smiled slightly, arched his hand at Li Ke, and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the text is very grateful." This year, the wind is calm, everything is as usual! ”

At this moment, Cen Wenwen and Li Ke asked and answered, which seemed to be talking about one topic, but revealing another topic.

Both of them are smart people, so they naturally saw through what the other party wanted to express at a glance, so they got the news they wanted.

After drinking a cup of tea, Li Ke smiled slightly and said, "Mr. was awarded the Zhongshu Shilang by his father, and he was a full-time Zhongshu introspective, and Ke congratulated Mr. ”

Li Ke knew that Zhongshu Province was the highest institution that adhered to the will of the monarch and was in charge of confidential information, issuing imperial edicts and central decrees.

Zhongshu Shilang is a high-ranking and powerful person in the imperial court. At this moment, it is normal for Li Ke to congratulate.

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen was humble and said: "The text is well deserved, thanks to the support of His Majesty and the recommendation of Lord Feng Li Jing. ”

……

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Ke decided to get straight to the point. Greeting a reader like Cen Wenwen, he was able to say a perfunctory sentence without repeating a word all day long.

This is the ability of a scholar, not to mention that Cen Wenwen is the first person among the Jiangnan scribes, and in this way, he is absolutely at the peak.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Ke hurriedly bowed his hand to Cen Wenwen and said: "Teacher, Ke went out to Qizhou for a year, and he is not very familiar with the political situation in Chang'an, and I hope the teacher can give him some advice." ”

Cen Wenwen took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and then whispered: "Your Highness, this time to return to Chang'an, Your Majesty has any arrangements?" ”

Although he is a master of planning, all this is based on Li Shimin's attitude. Otherwise, any strategy will be in the air.

Hearing this, Li Ke's expression moved slightly, and said: "This time when I entered the palace, my father didn't say much, but he praised King Ben for some things in Qizhou!" ”

"Then let the king rest for half a month, saying that there will be a new appointment! This king, Simou, there should be no other meaning in these words, right? ”
