Chapter 24: Two Old Foxes, One Big and One Small!

Lizheng Palace!

This is the sleeping palace of the eldest grandson queen, and Li Shimin set up a banquet here to characterize the contradiction between Li Ke and the eldest grandson Wuji as a family dispute, rather than a political enemy.

In doing so, there are considerations of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. Because of this, Li Shimin is unwilling to magnify the contradiction between Li Ke and his eldest grandson Wuji.

Because he knows that once this contradiction is magnified, Li Ke will definitely be struggling.

Moreover, as a member of the Li Tang royal family, once defined as a political enemy, Li Ke and Li Chengqian will inevitably be hostile.

Walking into the main hall, Li Ke bowed solemnly to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen: "Sons and daughters see father and queen mother!" Then he said to Li Chengqian: "My brother has seen the prince!" ”

"Ke'er doesn't have to be restrained here!" Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly, and led her hand: "Sit downβ€”β€”! ”

"Son-in-law thanks to his mother!"

Nodding, Li Ke stood up straight, and then turned to the eldest grandson Wuji and smiled, like a friend who hadn't seen him for a long time: "Lord eldest grandson, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Fourth brother!"

……

"Third Brother ......"

"Third Brother ......"

When the voices of the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai sounded, the eldest grandson Wuji also smiled and said to Li Ke: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" ”

Two people, smiling brightly. But in the smiles of the two people, they didn't feel a little warmth at all, but when it was cold, there was no warmth.

Hiding a knife in a smile, two old foxes, one big and one small, just in the main hall, began to hand each other.

"Qingque, tell Father-in-law Han to have a banquet β€”β€”!" Li Shimin didn't seem to see this very happy conversation, and at a glance, people could see the hypocritical greetings.

"Yes!"

……

After a while, the small banquet was ready, and under Li Shimin's signal, everyone began to eat.

At the banquet, everyone just meant it, and they stopped after tasting it. Only Li Ke, the king of Shu, feasted alone, and even disregarded the etiquette of the prince, and escaped a starving ghost alive.

"Third brother, my father's monthly salary is not missing from your Shu Palace, ...... you?" Seeing Li Ke like this, Li Chengqian frowned and said.

"Oh!"

Li Ke swallowed the food and took a sip of tea: "The younger brother's Shu Wangfu is naturally not conducive to the eldest brother's East Palace, and with such a big table, wouldn't it be a waste not to eat it." ”

A simple sentence blocked Li Chengqian's follow-up attack, and for a while, Li Chengqian's face turned red and a little ugly.

At this moment, Li Tai watched from the wall, and the eldest grandson Wuji frowned and did not speak.

"Ke'er, today I have a banquet in the Lizheng Palace, just to resolve the contradiction between you and the auxiliary machine!" Li Shimin didn't care about the rivalry between Li Ke and Li Chengqian: "You are all my right-hand men, people in the Tang royal family, fighting in the same room, doesn't it make people all over the world laugh, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hearing this, Li Ke glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "What the father said is very true, he collided with the eldest grandson that day, and after the son returned to the house, he thought about it and thought that he was ashamed of his father's teaching, and he was ashamed of his mother's mention, and he couldn't sleep at night." ”

"If you can resolve your grievances with your eldest grandson today, your sons will be very happy!"

After that, Li Ke picked up the teacup on the long case and raised his head to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Today, this king replaces wine with tea, and here he has made amends to the eldest grandson!" ”

"I also hope that the eldest grandson will not remember the villain's mistakes, ignore the past suspicions, and forget the impulse to be the king of Japanβ€”β€”!"

Li Ke's words simply surprised everyone. This change of attitude is simply a big turn, which is unacceptable to everyone for a while.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji was stunned!

It was only a moment later that he saw the answer in Li Ke's eyes. At this time, Li Ke's eyes were calm, even indifferent, without the slightest change.

Obviously, Li Ke is acting coyly!

The thought flashed in his heart, and the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly raised his glass and said to Li Ke: "The fault of the day was the old man, today he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and replaced wine with tea to make amends to the King of Shu." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji and Li Ke both knew that this matter was interfered by Li Shimin and Empress Eldest Sun, which meant that they had to reconcile in face.

This is unquestionable and cannot be changed!

Therefore, the two of them chose to laugh at the first time. But they all knew that this was just a show for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Their relationship can only be mortal enemies forever!

Especially Li Ke knew that in the original history, he was sent to the guillotine by the eldest grandson Wuji. Now that he has taken his place, he naturally guards against the eldest grandson Wuji as soon as possible.

Moreover, as long as he wants to be on the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji is the first roadblock.

In any case, it must be removed!

"Good!"

Seeing this scene, the hypocritical performance, Li Shimin didn't care. This is Li Shimin's strong self-confidence, because he believes that as long as he is there, nothing will happen under his nose.

"Today, it is a great joy for Ke'er to solve the contradiction with the auxiliary machine!" Li Shimin raised his glass and said, "Float a big white β€”β€”! ”

At this moment, Li Shimin was happy. He knew that since Li Ke and the eldest grandson Wuji said so, there would be no life-and-death fight.

From the very beginning, Li Shimin did not expect the two to get along in harmony.

Today's banquet is, fundamentally, a point of raising. Warning Li Ke and the eldest grandson Wuji not to go too far, that's all.

"Your Majesty, it has been more than half a month since the King of Shu returned from Qizhou!" The eldest grandson Wuji had a smile in his eyes, and said to Li Shimin: "The king of Shu has great talents, how can he be idle at home!" ”

"Oh?"

Li Shimin was surprised, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with some interest, smiled faintly, and said, "What official position should the auxiliary machine think Ke'er should hold?" ”

With Li Shimin's words, the entire Lizheng Hall fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes fell on the eldest grandson Wuji.

They knew that the eldest grandson Wuji at this time could change Li Ke's future with a single word.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flashed. As an old man of officialdom, he naturally knows that these words contain Li Shimin's temptation.

It's just that before he speaks, he's ready. As soon as he thought of this, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly bowed his hand to Li Shimin and said.

"Your Majesty, under the Ministry of Works, the young government supervisor has been vacant! The old minister thought that with the power of the King of Shu, it would inevitably make the Tang Dynasty more and more prosperous! ”

This time, the eldest grandson Wuji made Li Ke the young superintendent. Because the Shaofu Eunuch is only an official position from the fourth grade, in this way, Li Ke's status above the court will decline indefinitely, and he will be below Li Chengqian and Li Tai and others.

Moreover, the Shaofu supervisor is in charge of hundreds of workers in the world, so Li Ke lacks the opportunity to cultivate minions.

This time, the eldest grandson Wuji seems to be for Li Ke, but in fact, he is still trying to stop Li Ke from taking the throne.
