The cold winter is coming, and more than half a year has passed since the rebellion of the crown prince Li Chengqian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past half a year, a lot has happened in Chang'an, the capital.

After some reforms in Tang Zhou, the treasury of the imperial court was full, and the imperial court became rich, so it could be very willful to provide disaster relief to the victims, or it could be very willful to wage war.

Then there is Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who did not have much power, and he has become a prince on a par with Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Today's Jin King Li Zhi has gathered a large number of people, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Cheng Yanjin, etc., and of course Tang Zhou.

The existence of these people makes Li Zhi, the king of Jin, fully capable of competing for the crown prince, while the king of Wei, although still unspeakably expensive, has not grown substantially in comparison.

In the past, Li Shimin also said that he would pass on the crown prince to him, but now Li Shimin seems to have forgotten about it and does not mention it at all.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, saw that the power of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was getting bigger and bigger, and he was very anxious, so after finding Du Gou and some other people, he discussed it, and they defeated the prince, but now there is another king of Jin, isn't this forcing him?

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think the king should do in this situation?"

"Lord, why don't we have no prince tomorrow morning, and the situation is unstable, so ask the Holy Lord to canonize the crown prince."

They should have done this a long time ago, but because Li Shimin had promised before, they felt that it would be the king of Wei sooner or later, so they didn't have time to mention it, and now that the king of Jin Li Zhi is rising, they are afraid that if they don't mention it again, they will have no chance at all.

After these people raised this matter, Li Tai, the king of Wei, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Now that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, has risen, if he is really canonized as the crown prince, can you be sure that this king will be pushed to the position of the crown prince?" ”

"Judging from the current situation, the prince is only fifty percent sure, but if you can get one person's help, you are seventy percent sure that you will become the crown prince."

After Du Wei pondered for a moment, he said such a sentence, and when this sentence came out, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Who helps?" ”

"Wu Wang Li Ke."

"Him?" Li Tai, the king of Wei, was stunned, but he didn't expect that the person Du Wei said was him.

And Du Wei nodded: "That's right, Wu Wang Li Ke's power is not weak now, although he is not in the capital, but there are many people in the capital who have taken refuge in him, if he can get his help, the prince's chances of victory will be greater." ”

"Yes...... But Li Ke, the king of Wu, is also an ambitious person, is he willing to help this king? ”

"It is precisely because of the ambition of Li Ke, the king of Wu, that he will help His Royal Highness, if the prince can trust his subordinates, his subordinates are willing to be lobbyists and take a trip for the prince."

Li Tai, the king of Wei, thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll bother Mr. Du." ”

After everyone said this, Du Wei set off for several days and rushed to the fief of Li Ke, the king of Wu.

After running around for several days, Du Wei came to the door of King Wu's mansion.

At this time, it was snowing heavily, Du Gou's body was shivering, his hands were frozen, he looked up at the gate of King Wu's mansion, and then sent the name post.

And at this time, Li Ke, the king of Wu, was dancing his sword in the snow, and when he heard that the strategist of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was coming, he frowned slightly, thinking to himself what the strategist of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was looking for him?

"Let him in."

After a short time, Du Wei came to the courtyard where it was still snowing, but his body bones could not be compared with Li Ke, the king of Wu, after the two stood there, the contrast was very stark.

Wu Wang Li Ke glanced at Du Wei, and then was a little surprised, and said, "You are the son of Old Prime Minister Du?" ”

Du Gou said: "Back to the prince's words, under Du Gou." ”

Wu Wang Li Ke nodded: "You turned out to be the advisor of Li Tai, the king of Wei, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"Oh, I don't know what the prince is sorry for?"

"Your family is good, but you have taken refuge in King Wei, and it is difficult to get ahead."

As soon as the two met, Li Ke, the king of Wu, first gave Du Gou a dismount, but Du Gou was not in a hurry, and said: "I don't agree with this point of view of the prince, the king of Wei is from the eldest grandson of the queen, it is orthodox, and the king of Wei is now very favored, if you talk about the way out, I am afraid that there are few princes who can compare, follow the king of Wei, not to mention that there is meat to eat, it is definitely okay to drink some soup." ”

Seeing Du Gou's clever tongue, Li Ke put away the sword in his hand and strolled towards the living room, Du Gou hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.

The two walked one after the other, and when they were about to reach the living room, Wu Wang Li Ke suddenly asked: "Since you have a promising future with Li Tai, the king of Wei, why did you come to my Wu Palace?" ”

Du Wei smiled: "Come and show His Royal Highness King Wu a clear way." ”

Wu Wang Li Ke frowned, and then snorted: "Show this king a clear way?" Now that the King of Wei is being suppressed by the King of Jin everywhere, he said that he pointed out a clear path to the king, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

When Du Wei heard this, he knew that Li Ke, the king of Wu, still had the heart for the throne, and after understanding this, he felt that it would be easier for him to succeed.

"That's right, I'm really here today to show the prince a clear way, since Tang Zhou cut the domain, the prince's strength is not as good as before, right? Now the Jin King Li Zhi is more and more favored, and he is about to become the prince, the Jin King Li Zhi is not the original Li Chengqian, if he becomes the prince, the saint will not abolish him, and he will be able to ascend the throne smoothly with the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Tang Zhou and others, if the King of Jin ascends the throne, His Royal Highness the King of Wu can think of his own way out? ”

Wu King Li Ke's heart tightened, if Li Zhi, the king of Jin, ascended the throne, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to compete for the throne in this life, that Li Zhi was different from Li Chengqian, and the people around him were by no means comparable to those mediocre talents around Li Chengqian, Li Zhi ascended the throne, he would never have a chance again, and he was likely to die in his fiefdom.

However, Wu King Li Kecheng's mansion is extremely deep, even if he understands this, he will not show it: "So what? ”

"If His Royal Highness the King of Wei ascends the throne, it will be different, if His Royal Highness the King of Wei ascends the throne, he promises to give His Royal Highness the King of Wu a large fief, and even let you set up your own king, instead of being a festival envoy here, why not choose a piece of your own land to be crowned king?"

This is the condition put forward by Li Tai, the king of Wei, although he knows that Li Ke, the king of Wu, is ambitious, but it is impossible for him to divide half of the entire Tang Dynasty to Li Ke, the king of Wu, but it is still okay for him to be the king.

The Tang Dynasty is constantly expanding its territory, and there will be more and more territories, and they can't manage so many territories, in this case, it is better to let Li Ke, the king of Wu, be the emperor of the soil, as long as he recognizes Li Tai, the king of Wei, as the orthodox emperor.

After Du Wei said this, Li Ke, the king of Wu, first despised in his heart, and asked him to support Li Tai, the king of Wei, as the emperor, which was really a joke, but soon, Li Ke, the king of Wu, thought that this might be the best result for him.

Rather than being an envoy in a small state, it is better to be crowned king in a picturesque land, and in his own land, he can gather his strength in order to become the ruler of the Central Plains in the future.

"Okay, you go back and tell King Wei, let him remember what he said today, and the king will help him with his affairs."
