Chapter 653: Li Ke Takes Credit

Before Li Ke saw this letter, he first learned roughly from the letters of He Lu's two staff members that Wang Ping'an might have raised an outer room, but He Lu's staff did not find out at that time, but only guessed. And now he saw Wu Meiniang's letter, there is no indication that Wang Ping'an has an outer room, just on the surface, it is just an ordinary family letter, how the wife misses her husband, that's all.

can be preconceived, Li Ke had the idea of Wang Ping'an's outer room in his heart, and after reading Wu Meiniang's letter, he naturally thought that this was the truth, and it was a fact that had been verified, he had already released the news and maliciously slandered Wang Ping'an's character, and now that he got the evidence, he naturally refused to let go, of course, he had to toss it a lot.

Li Ke took the letter into his arms, asked someone to prepare the horse, and he went to the palace in person to ask to see his mother, Concubine Yang. He couldn't see his father, but it was not too difficult to see his mother, so he just found a reason to enter the palace.

When he came to Concubine Yang's palace, Li Ke took out the letter, let Concubine Yang read it, and told Concubine Yang the news he heard from Gyeongju. But he didn't say that it was conjecture, but directly told his mother that this was a fact, and he sent Qianniu to find out, and Wang Ping'an was sorry for the ironclad evidence of the royal family.

Concubine Yang read the letter, was noncommittal, did not immediately express her opinion, but sat in front of the Buddha statue and read the Buddhist scriptures softly.

Li Ke waited for a while, a little impatient, and asked, "Mother, this is a great time to bring down Wang Ping'an, and my son doesn't want to let it go." Do you think I will show this letter to Yiren first, and then ask her to go to her father and cry? ”

Concubine Yang opened her eyes and said slowly: "It's useless, it may be useful for you to find others, but it must be useless to find Yiren." On the contrary, not only will she not go to your father to cry, but she will be suspicious of you, and even go to her brother and uncle, saying that you deliberately sow discord, and if others don't say it at that time, it is the eldest grandson Wuji, how will he deal with you, you should think about it yourself. ”

Li Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?" The son didn't understand. Could it be that the Iraqi people can endure such a thing? Wang Ping'an didn't be a concubine, so he dared to do nonsense, and after the Yiren passed the door, she didn't know how many grievances she had to suffer, how could she not resent Wang Ping'an? ”

Concubine Yang looked at her son, sighed softly, and said, "Why, because my mother is also a woman, how can I not know a woman's mind?" Yiren has already abolished a colt before, if another one is abolished, for you, at most, I think this sister is quite unlucky, and she has met people unladylike every time, but for her, this is a fatal thing, maybe she can't stand the blow, and she will hang herself. You say, will she hide this from your father? Others can say this, but she can't say it! ”

Li Ke snorted and thought: "It's really hard to guess a woman's mind, and what the mother concubine said seems to be this truth." He said, "Then Yiren can swallow this breath, she doesn't seem to be a person who can stand this kind of grievance!" ”

Concubine Yang shook her head and said, "What can she do if she can't bear it?" Besides, she doesn't need to endure it, as long as she gets married and becomes the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, let alone clean up an outer room, even Wang Ping'an can clean it up. Besides, she didn't need to make a move, as long as she hinted, there would be countless people rushing to clean up the outer room for her. Don't say that she, even her mother is in the palace, but if she wants to do anything, do you need to do it herself? ”

Li Ke sighed, about Gong Dou, he really has no experience, not only is he not clear about the means of women fighting women, but he is not in the mood to study them, but when the mother concubine said this, he thought of his family's affairs, as if his princess wanted to clean up his little wife, it was indeed very easy, and he could clean it up quietly, and he often found out afterwards.

He asked, "So, who should my son go to see this letter?" ”

Concubine Yang looked at her son, beckoned him to sit beside her, patted the back of his hand gently, and said, "Ke'er, you are still not sophisticated enough, and those staff members in your house are too useless, and they can't even give you a good idea for this kind of thing." ”

Li Ke said angrily: "The mother concubine is too right, those staff members are more than one waste, except for the bad lord's accident, no other ideas will come up, if there is a person like Wang Ping'an by my side, he will not be able to do things, and he will be constrained everywhere, and now it is difficult to even see the face of his father!" ”

Concubine Yang said: "It is impossible for Wang Ping'an to take refuge in you, you must be clear about this, but it is not difficult to get benefits from him." In the palace and in the court, if you want people to listen to you and do things for you, it is nothing more than two things, either let people ask for you or be jealous. ”

"This son is clear, but how to make Wang Ping'an ask for something, this is too difficult, and he can only be taboo, so his son wants to make some articles on this letter." Li Ke agreed with his mother's statement, but he didn't know how to use this letter.

Concubine Yang said: "If you want to make a fuss about this letter, the best article is not to write a word, a blank piece of paper, others have no feeling when they read this blank paper, but Wang Ping'an read it, make sure he is shocked!" ”

Li Ke tilted his head and said, "A blank piece of paper? Why is this, my son doesn't understand! ”

Concubine Yang put the letter into the envelope, stretched out her hand and stuffed it into Li Ke's arms, and said: "Don't mention this matter again, and don't let people spread it, as if there is no such thing, it won't be long before you know the result, Wang Ping'an will definitely be soft, will take the initiative to contact you, and give you soft, and you remember one thing, no matter how he hints, you are pretending to be confused." The more you don't mention it, the more scared he becomes. Also, withdraw all the people who were sent, let the wind calm and let the waves be quiet! ”

Li Ke touched the letter in his arms, but still didn't understand why his mother said this, he said: "Please also ask your mother to make it clear, why do you do this?" ”

Concubine Yang smiled and said: "Ke'er, you should really read the history books, if you don't know which one to read, then just read the Book of Sui, the authors of this book are all important ministers of this dynasty, not only to write about the Sui Dynasty, but also to put it in our Tang Dynasty, it is also useful!" ”

She thought of her life experience, and felt a little sad in her heart, as a princess of the Sui Dynasty, it was also very difficult for her son to read about his grandfather's cruel deeds.

Li Ke reads everything, but he doesn't like to read the Book of Sui, he is the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji wrote about Emperor Yang of Sui, how can there be good words, he naturally doesn't like to read that book.

Concubine Yang said: "If you want Wang Ping'an to be afraid of you, you don't need to do anything, he will know how to deal with it as soon as you do it, but if you don't do it, he will have to ponder all day and night, thinking about what you will do, if he can't eat well and sleep, until he is tortured to the point that he can't stand it anymore, he will give in to you." Although the wind is calm and the waves are calm, who knows what kind of situation will be under the water? ”

Li Ke suddenly realized and said: "The more I don't know, the more scared I am, and if I know, I'm not afraid." Yes, mother, you are so right, this is a very clever method of deterrence! ”

Concubine Yang waved her hand and said, "Ke'er go back, read the Book of Sui well, especially the biography about Yuwenshu!" ”

Li Ke saluted, left Concubine Yang's palace, and returned to his palace, he put away Wu Meiniang's letter, according to his mother's words, he really didn't toss anymore, but sent someone to recall Qianniu to prepare himself, and his subordinates were not allowed to spread rumors anymore, and no longer said bad things about Wang Ping'an.

He took out the Book of Sui from the study, flipped to the part of Yuwenshu, and looked at it carefully. Of course he knew who Yuwenshu was, but Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji had never read how they wrote Yuwenshu, even if his father had tested the content of the book before, he was perfunctory and didn't really understand.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it! Only then did Li Ke understand why his mother let him read Yuwenshu's biography, and the lack of virtue between Emperor Wen of Sui and the former prince Yang Yong was done by Yuwenshu, and it was he who paved the way for Emperor Yang of Sui to ascend to the throne, and the book said that Yuwenshu was greedy and despicable. But it was precisely such a person who actually killed a prince and set up an emperor!

Li Ke was amazed, if only he had a henchman like Yu Wenshu, kill Li Zhi for himself, wouldn't he be able to become the prince and thus ascend the throne!

It's useless to just think about it, you have to really have such a person, Li Ke sighed again, he has nothing to do, it just so happened that his father and emperor were studying behind closed doors, so he also took the opportunity to read the "Book of Sui".

A few days later, the Qianniu preparers sent to Gyeongju came back first, and they all wanted to hurry up and push off the task, and after they came back, they reported something inconsequential to Li Ke so-so, and then they went back to the Wei Mansion and never went to Li Ke's door again.

After a few days, Li Ke has been quite quiet, so that he himself doesn't care about Wang Ping'an's outer room. Suddenly, on this day, the housekeeper came and told him that someone from Gyeongju had come, and it was a messenger sent by Wang Ping'an!

Li Ke was surprised and delighted, surprised that the words of the concubine were really fulfilled, he tossed and tossed before, and he didn't toss Wang Ping'an, but he suffered losses one after another.

Li Ke asked the housekeeper, "How many people are here?" Say what you're here for? ”

The housekeeper said: "There is only one on the surface, and I don't know if there is an escort in the secret." When I asked him what was the matter, he only said that there was a secret letter sent and it had to be presented to the prince in person! ”

Li Ke thought to himself: "Secret letter, present it to me in person?" That is to say, there is something important, could it be that Wang Ping'an is really convinced? He asked the butler to call the messenger into the main hall of the palace, and he wanted to receive the messenger openly, since he decided to let the wind calm and let the waves be quiet from now on, then why should he be sneaky and arouse suspicion!

It was Ouyang Yi who came to deliver the letter, he and Ouyang Shuang entered Beijing together, and they had already arrived, but just in case, they didn't come to see Li Ke immediately. He came to see Li Ke in the open, and Ouyang Shuang was in the dark, if an accident happened, someone would be able to report back to Gyeongju.

Ouyang Yi was introduced into the main hall, and he wondered in his heart, how could this Li Ke be so bright, knowing that I was the master's messenger, but he didn't ask me to enter the study, but met him in the main hall, he was afraid that I would be assassinated? This is too high to look down on me, even if you want his life, you can't run to his house in broad daylight!

After waiting for a while, Li Ke came out, Ouyang Yi hurriedly saluted, Li Ke did not ask him to sit down, but said, "What is the matter with Wang Ping'an calling you?" Quickly speaking, this king is busy and doesn't have time to talk to you more. ”

Ouyang Yi was a little embarrassed, before he came, he and Ouyang Shuang had discussed what Li Ke's reaction would be when he met him, and the scene he expected was nothing more than vigorous wooing, or angry scolding, but he didn't expect this indifferent attitude, as if he was an insignificant person.

Li Ke doesn't take himself seriously, but Ouyang Yi has to take himself seriously, he said: "Lord Wang, my master has a secret letter sent here, and I ask you to retreat, and I will show it to you." ”

Li Ke snorted, waved his hand, and said: "This king has nothing to do, he has never liked secret letter wax pills, if your family has any dirty things to ask this king, please let him not open his mouth, this king will not listen." Come on, send off the guest, read his hard work in Beijing, and reward ten copper coins! ”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, ignoring Wang Ping'an's messenger without any face.

Ouyang Yi thought to himself: "Ten copper coins, look at what you picked!" He hurriedly said: "Don't be, the prince stays." The last general said the wrong thing, and asked the prince not to be surprised, my master's letter is here, and please read it, repair a book, and the last general will take it back. He took the letter from his bosom and presented it respectfully.

Li Ke stopped, took the letter, sat back at the table, opened it and read it. He only took a cursory glance, and his heart was beating wildly, the tricks taught by his mother were really effective, and the effect was amazing, it seems that he really has to read the "Book of Sui" in the future, that is really called long learning!

The letter clearly stated that Wang Ping'an relented, groveled to surrender to himself, and also offered credit, and even sent the drawings of the big waterwheel as a stepping stone!

Li Ke was happy in his heart, read the letter carefully from head to end, and when he raised his head, his face was full of disdain, he waved the letter, and said, "Your master wants to be the king's lackey?" Go back and tell your host ......."

He suddenly thought, if this matter was put on Emperor Yang of Sui, what should he do? Do you push it away, or do you take it? Emperor Yang of Sui should not have trusted Yang Su at the beginning, but after Yuwenshu won Yang Su for him, he still trusted him, so that Yang Su became his lackey and worked for him, and now it is Wang Ping'an's turn!

He immediately changed his expression, disdainfully retreated, replaced it with a smiling face, and said with a smile: "It's too bad for your master to say that, this king has always treated him as a brother, don't let him belittle himself anymore in the future, that would be too sad." ”

Ouyang Yi knelt on the ground and said: "In the last tense, the master once said, please have mercy on the prince, accept this letter, in the future, the prince will be sent, and my master will go to the soup and die!" ”

Li Ke hummed, took the letter, looked at it again, and said, "What else did you say?" ”

Ou Yanyi hurriedly said: "My master said, fortunately, the prince invented this kind of waterwheel, so that he can use it in Gyeongju, and now the waterwheel has been built, and I also ask the prince to show this matter to the emperor, celebrate for the emperor, and celebrate for the people of the world!" ”

The muscles on Li Ke's face twitched, and he said, "Really? Is that what your master said? ”

In front of his eyes, a picture had already appeared, standing on the court, praised by his father and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty...... This kind of treatment was previously only enjoyed by Li Zhi, and I don't want to be my turn soon!
