Chapter 17: Master and Apprentice Heart-to-Heart!
After turning his gaze, Li Ke looked at everyone and said loudly: "Ke Jin was crowned the King of Han and changed the title of King of Shu, since the opening of the Ya and the establishment of the mansion, it is Li Ke's honor to accompany you all the way." β
"Being able to work with all of you, Li Ke feels fortunate to have three lives. Today's dinner is held, firstly, the king has not gathered since he returned from Qizhou. The second is that this king will be in Chang'an recently and even in the future, and today he is very happy in Shuiyunxuan. β
Hearing Li Ke's words, everyone's hearts were hot, and they shouted, "Thank you, Your Highness!" β
Li Ke didn't think too much, the matter had come to this point, and he could only move forward step by step. As soon as he thought of this, Li Ke arched his hand at Cen Wenwen and said, "Everyone, have a banquet." β
"Yes!"
For a while, the prepared banquet began.
β¦β¦
Li Ke looked around, looked at the people who were doing it, raised his wine glass, and said: "The first glass of wine, this king respects the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." After saying that, he drank it all.
Seeing Li Ke like this, Cen Wenwen and the others hurriedly raised their glasses and said, "Respect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." β
This is the slogan that must be shouted at every banquet. Although Li Ke thinks it is just a political slogan, this sentence is still his heart's expectation for this dynasty and this era.
β¦β¦
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Ke also knew the subordinate officials in the palace clearly. It's just that with the acquaintance, Li Ke's heart became colder and colder.
In addition to Cen Wenwen, this peerless talent, in his palace, there are actually a group of officials who have no reputation, at this moment, Li Ke suddenly understood.
understands why Li Ke was defeated in history and lost miserably. It's not that Cen Wenwen is not powerful, but a wolf with a flock of sheep.
In the face of a herd of fierce tigers, a herd of sheep has only one way to die.
β¦β¦
Thinking of this, Li Ke frowned, looked at the eyes of everyone present on his face, and then smiled, and said, "Everyone, gathering here is the fate destined by God, do it!" β
"!"
β¦β¦
After drinking again, Li Ke didn't have any hope for these people. He knew that if he wanted to conspire with him, he had to join in with a peerless talent.
is like the reason why Li Shimin was able to defeat the crown prince Li Jiancheng who was in the middle of the day because of his great military exploits and the people of Tiance Mansion.
Li Ke knows very well that his road to becoming the emperor is almost the same as Li Shimin, and he needs to crush all the general trends of the whole country with strong strength.
Even he is far more difficult than Li Shimin!
Li Shimin held a large army at that time, and was assisted by good generals and strategists, and launched the Xuanwumen coup, which led to today's situation. Li Shimin himself staged a coup d'Γ©tat to ascend to power, and he was extremely sensitive to military power.
For example, today is almost peaceful, and the entire army is in the hands of Li Shimin alone, and if you want a coup d'Γ©tat, there is no room for viability.
The thought flickered in his heart, and Li Ke's heart wanted to find a great talent and reorganize the thoughts of the prince's subordinate officials, at this moment, it was unprecedentedly strong.
β¦β¦
The gathering of everyone was because of Cen Wenwen, but at the banquet, Cen Wenwen did not say a word, and Li Ke, the king of Wei, also smiled and did not speak, and frequently persuaded him to drink.
This made everyone immediately understand that Li Ke didn't want to talk about Shui Yunxuan, or didn't want to talk to them, so after they were full of wine and food, the rest of the people retired one after another.
After a while, in the entire hall, only Li Ke, Cen Wenwen, and Wei Gou were left.
Li Ke waved the wine glass in his hand at the moment, and said, "Little Weizi, stay outside, no one is allowed to approach within three zhang." β
"Yes!"
When Xiao Weizi withdrew, Li Ke bowed solemnly to Cen Wenwen, stretched out his hand, and said, "Teacher, please go into the study for a while." β
"Your Highness, please!"
Both of them are smart people, so they naturally know that they are thinking about the same thing, and because of this, Li Ke hurriedly invited Cen Wenwen into the study.
Today's Shui Yunxuan incident, although Li Ke acted rashly at that time, he knew that this would make him famous in the world, and at the same time, it attracted the fear of all parties and suppressed it heavily.
Therefore, he desperately wanted Cen Wenwen's guidance.
Similarly, in the mansion, after getting the causes and consequences of Li Ke's big trouble with Shui Yunxuan and fighting with the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen immediately couldn't sit still.
The two of them were also keenly aware that after this incident, there must be a crazy blow like a storm, waiting for Li Ke.
The eldest grandson Wuji suffered a big loss and lost face, how could this old man of the court sit still and wait for death and not find a place to return.
Therefore, both of them thought that when the morning dawned, even at this time, the counterattack of the eldest grandson Wuji would split their heads and cover their faces.
Therefore, neither of them dared to slack off in the slightest, and immediately hid in the study to discuss countermeasures.
In this era, no one dares and no one can ignore the powerful influence and sharp means of the eldest grandson Wuji.
β¦β¦
Walking into the study, after the two of them sat down with each other, Cen Wenwen glanced up at Li Ke and said, "Your Highness, what did you find in today's meeting of the royal officials?" β
As Li Ke's teacher, Cen Wenwen went straight to the point, and didn't want to waste time on top of his tongue. Facing Li Ke, he directly and rudely raised the question.
After glancing at each other, Li Ke sighed faintly and said, "The entire royal palace officials, except for the teacher, are all a group of rabble, and there is no one available. β
"And these people, I'm afraid not only in the palace, but also in the East Palace, the Wei Palace, the Chu Palace, and the eyeliner of the major forces."
Seeing that Li Ke realized the seriousness of the problem, Cen Wenwen looked solemn and said, "Since Your Highness is aware of this problem, can you have a good solution?" β
Li Ke knew that this was not only an answer, but also a test. For Cen Wenwen, today's Li Ke is too flamboyant and domineering.
Originally, in Cen Wenwen's calculations, Li Ke should now be dormant in secret, and only sacrifice a must-kill blow at a critical moment to kill everyone in one fell swoop.
However, Li Ke's performance in Qizhou and the high profile in Shui Yunxuan made Cen Wenwen's calculations completely invalid.
"Find good talents from all over the world, expand the palace, and then reorganize the subordinate officials of the palace step by step, and cut off the claws of all parties."
Speaking of this, Li Ke's eyes were murderous: "Restart the battle of Liaodong or the Western Regions, establish military merits, and gain a foothold in the army at the same time." β
"Hoo ......"
With a long sigh, Cen Wenwen's heart was no longer nervous. Obviously, Li Ke has thought about this matter, and such a Li Ke is more suitable for winning the heir.
"Your Highness, in Shui Yunxuan today, you are still too high-profile!" Cen Wenwen sighed helplessly: "The eldest grandson Wuji has too deep roots in the court, and he has the support of the eldest grandson queen. β
"The better Your Highness is, the more pressure you will have from the harem and the court!"
