Chapter 101: Bending the waist

At the royal night banquet, Li Xiao's name once again reached the heavens.

And the Wu clan was also interested in a small Tian Shelang for the first time.

A country Tian Shelang, but he can let the dignified right leader of the army will provide him with the secret recipe for frosting sugar decolorization, a country Tian Shelang, can also contact Princess Gaoyang, and even talk about military affairs, especially a Pingliao strategy is still so insightful, not to mention, such a country Tian Shelang can also make a very good poem.

The Wu family is very curious about Li Xiao now, and she even faintly feels in her heart that the change in Gao Yang's attitude towards her may be related to this Li Sanlang.

At today's banquet, it is not Princess Gaoyang, who has always been eye-catching and the focus of everyone, nor is it Li Zhen, the king of Yue, who made trouble at the banquet, and it is not Li Ke, the king of Wu, who was forced by the emperor to answer, but Li Xiao, who has never even shown his face.

In front of the relatives of the full palace, this Li Sanlang, who was humble to the dirt, successfully attracted everyone's attention.

At the end of the banquet, Li Zhi and Wu sat on the bed and talked about this Li Sanlang.

"Does Concubine Ai really believe Gao Yang's words? How can there be such a talent in this world but left behind in the countryside? Still so young? Li Zhi said while enjoying Wu massaging his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, the concubine feels that there is no need for Gao Yang to deceive us. Today she said it in front of everyone, and this kind of thing can't fool anyone, as long as His Majesty summons this Li Sanlang to the front, and summons him right, his bottom will be clear, and he will know whether he has the ability or not. If it's fake, it's going to have to be exposed. Besides, why did Gao Yang lie to His Majesty, and what good would it do her? ”

Wu carefully analyzed for Li Zhi, Gao Yang's change made her like it very much, if Gao Yang can really change her attitude in the future, and even support her, then she is willing to say something good for her.

Li Zhi nodded.

"Now I am really very interested in this Li Xiao, you say, if Li Xiao really has that kind of talent, should I appreciate and reuse him?"

"It is a matter of course to be able to use merit. However, according to what Gao Yang said, this Li Xiao is just a small landowner in the countryside, although he is innocent, but after all, he is from a poor family, and if he is promoted and reused, it is also against the system. Your Majesty might as well find an opportunity, first give him an official and a half position, and then slowly promote and appoint. ”

Li Zhi frowned suddenly.

"How do you say this Li Xiao met Gao Yang? Li Sanlang doesn't seem to be very old, so he can't ······ with him."

Gao Yang's reputation has never been very good, if this Li Xiao is also Gao Yang's minister, then things will not be easy to handle. Although Li Zhi also wants to use his ability, if this Li Xiao is Gao Yang's first lover, then ·······

"Let's check it out first." Wu said beside him.

Gao Yang was in a good mood today, and when she left the palace, the third brother King Wu specially stopped her and thanked her very gratefully. "That Li Xiao is a talent, you can introduce the third brother when you have time. Such a talent can't be buried, and if there is a chance, the third brother is willing to help him. ”

"Thank you today, thank you for helping the third brother. You don't have to play tricks anymore in the future, your bereaved love is about to be released out of Beijing, if you stay in Beijing, take care of yourself more, and don't go out to mess around·······"

Gao Yang's eyes are a little red, although there are many brothers and sisters in the royal family, there are too many intrigues, and the only one who really cares about her may be this third brother.

"Third brother, you also have to pay more attention, if you have the opportunity, you should find a way to get out of Beijing."

Many things, in fact, everyone understands.

The new emperor doesn't like King Wu and King Yue, which everyone understands in their hearts. Especially now that the patriarch is the head of the country, the eldest grandson Wuji, he regards King Wu as a thorn in his side. If you leave Chang'an, you may be able to save it.

Li Ke is tall and heroic, and Emperor Taizong imagined it very much when he was young, and when he was in his thirties, there was already some frost in his eyes, he smiled, "The third brother knows, but even if the third brother wants to go out of Beijing, how easy is it." Since the founding of this dynasty, although there have been princes and princesses who have led the army at the beginning, since the Xuanwu Gate, which clan relatives can really support the army, even if they go out to serve, it is not possible, which is fundamentally different from the time of Yang Sui in the previous dynasty. ”

During the Sui Dynasty, although several princes did not divide the country, they were actually the general managers of one side, with dozens of military states and countless troops. Although they were not divided into feudal domains, in fact, the power of the princes was far stronger than when the Han and Jin dynasties were divided.

In this dynasty, especially after experiencing the Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Taizong's attitude towards the clan was much more cautious.

Although the clan is crowned king, there is no longer a feudal country, and even the mining and feudal households cannot be directly managed, let alone support the army. Even if the imperial court confers official positions, they are basically virtual, whether it is conferred the title of governor or the history of the assassination, they are all remote leaders, and no clan can go out of Beijing to the local government to really take up a position.

Even if Li Ke wanted to go out of Beijing, he wouldn't have a chance.

He is like a bird trapped in a cage, with no freedom at all.

Wei Wangtai, who was once extremely favored, died last year.

And the former crown prince Chengqian died a few years ago.

The imperial court said that Li Tai's death was due to depression and illness. But Li Tai was degraded for more than ten years, he didn't die sooner or later, but he died last year, but he was only thirty-five years old, and Li Ke didn't believe this result.

He prefers to believe a rumor that Li Tai was actually killed by someone sent by the emperor.

Maybe the next one will be you.

This is the sorrow of being a prince, especially now that he is still the imperial brother, a royal brother with high prestige in the hearts of the people of the government and the opposition.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Are you familiar with this Li Xiao?"

Gao Yang chuckled.

"I know what you want to ask, Saburo is indeed my lover."

Li Ke's face was not very good-looking when he heard this.

Gao Yang said again, "Once." With that, she added, "Now I'm about to get him to come back to me." ”

Li Ke shook his head, "I don't know how you met, and I don't want to know, but in the future, I know that you are also depressed, but if you indulge yourself, you can't change anything, what's the use of being cheap in this way." Sometimes I want to learn from those brothers, Pegasus fighting dogs, and live a drunken life of drunkenness, drunkenness, and death, but I can't do it, I can't be like them, whether it's in my nature or just want to defile myself, I can't do it. ”

"Brother, I understand you."

"Seventeen Niang, the third brother also understands you, we are not free. But we can't let that make us indulge. After Li Ke finished speaking, he looked at Chang'an City outside the palace and sighed, "Bring Li Xiao to see me when you have time." ”

"Yes, but Li Sanlang is a little special, he is not keen on power and wealth, although he is a small landlord, but sometimes he is free and easy to make people amazing, even if you are the king of Wu, you can't let him bow down."

Li Ke laughed a few times when he heard it.

"Interesting, really interesting. But the more I did, the more I liked him. He doesn't want to come to see me, so I'll go see him myself. ”
