Yankang Fang, Wei Wangfu.

Liu Xuan stood with his head down, and Li Tai's expression on the throne was gloomy and very displeased.

"Failed?"

"Your Highness forgives the sin, everything was going well, and he successfully angered Li Chonghui and Wei Yue and drunk them, and he also went to provoke and tease/tease Xie Du."

Liu Xuan said: "The two families also clashed, if nothing else, it must be the Wei family that wins, and Wei Yue can wantonly bully Xie Du's family and humiliate Xie Yi......"

"But something happened?" Li Tai's expression was gloomy, and he asked rhetorically, quite disappointed.

Liu Xuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice: "Your Highness forgives your sins, I really didn't expect that first Mrs. Zheng stopped it, and then His Royal Highness King Wu took action directly." ”

"Zheng Liwan and the third Li Ke?"

"That's right, I never thought that Mrs. Zheng happened to be in Dongshi, if it was just her, although things might be bigger, they could also succeed."

Liu Xuan said regretfully: "The partial birth of King Wu suddenly returned to Chang'an, and when he saw it, he made a move, King Wu has a noble identity and has always been heroic, so he ......"

Li Tai said indignantly: "The third brother of this king is really ...... I haven't seen you for a long time, and once I go back to Chang'an, I will do a bad thing, is he deliberately targeting this king? ”

"Probably not!" Liu Xuan said in a low voice: "Judging from the situation at that time, King Wu was just an ordinary gentleman who was drunk and causing trouble, and he only scolded a few words, but did not delve into it.

The subordinates also checked, King Wu was ordered by His Majesty to return to Chang'an for the New Year, just arrived in Chang'an, and went to Dongshi to buy gifts for Concubine Yang and the princesses. Our people saw that he had purchased a batch of perfume from An Yixuan. ”

"On the surface, I don't know what it is on the inside?" Li Tai said in a deep voice: "In the past, I mainly focused on the East Palace, but I ignored this third brother a little. ”

Liu Xuan said disappreciatively: "Your Highness is too worried, you are a concubine, and King Wu is a concubine." ”

Li Tai shook his head lightly and said: "Although he is a concubine, he occupies the eldest brother, and the second brother (Li Kuan, the king of Chu) is early." If the East Palace is gone, he will do three and I will do four, he will be the elder, although this king is a descendant, but he is not the eldest son, if you really argue......"

Liu Xuan said: "Even so, but just with Concubine Yang's background, there is no hope for the prince to be in King Wu, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry." ”

"Not necessarily, don't take it for granted." Li Tai said cautiously: "Although he is the grandson of Emperor Sui of the previous dynasty. But he is also Li Tang's prince, as long as he is the son of his father, why is there no possibility of succession?

What's more, he is still the elder, and he is quite heroic, and this king admits that he is far inferior to the third brother in this regard. Although several of our brothers have the title of Grand Governor, only King Wu is the only one who really goes to the post, which is not a deliberate move by my father. ”

Liu Xuan shook his head and said, "With Your Majesty's character, the beloved princes will stay in Chang'an. King Wu's appointment to Anzhou is not necessarily a good thing; What's more, King Wu had trampled on the farmland before, and he had just been reprimanded, and he had also cut down the household, and the courtiers had no praise. ”

"Then you should remember. The first thing the father blamed was the head of the Wu Palace, Shi Quan Wanji, if it weren't for the imperial history's insistence on direct advice, the father might not have surrendered, this protection of the feelings......

This time, his father specially summoned him back to Chang'an for a reunion. Such a grace, I have to guard against it, and I have to be more careful in the future. Li Tai changed his words and said: "But troubled times need to be heroic." The prosperous era needs to be civilized, the emperor is in the country, the father and the emperor are opening the border, the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more flat, and what is needed in the future is the brilliant culture, in this regard, the third brother is far inferior to the king. ”

"What His Highness said is very true, which prince can compare to His Highness?" Liu Xuan bowed in agreement and quietly slapped a sycophant.

Li Taihu asked again: "By the way, you said that Zheng Liwan also spoke out to stop it?" ”

"Yes!"

"What a coincidence!" Li Tai said leisurely: "I haven't heard that Mrs. Zheng is so uneven on weekdays, how can she happen to appear as soon as something happens to the Xie family......

"Your Highness said this, but it is indeed too much of a coincidence."

Li Tai sneered: "Now think about the bloodstains found by Sun Fujia, think about what you said, Zheng Liwan really has no possibility of lying?" ”

Liu Xuan frowned, nodded and said, "Indeed!" ”

"So, this matter is intriguing, and it's still worth digging into, maybe ......" Li Tai smiled coldly, quite expectant.

Liu Xuan said happily: "Yes, the subordinates will be more attentive." ”

"Also, don't put the Wei family's line, and wait and see for a few days to see how all parties react, and then find a suitable opportunity, so ......"

After listening to Li Tai's instructions, Liu Xuan immediately praised: "Your Highness is clever! ”

……

The next day, Li Ke, the king of Wu, entered the palace for an audience.

In the Chengqing Palace, Li Shimin took a closer look at the three sons who were the most heroic and martial arts, and asked a lot about the situation in Anzhou. Although he knows all these and reports them from various channels, he still wants to hear what his son has to say.

Li Ke already had a draft, so naturally he answered it fluently, and when Li Shimin heard about it, he praised it again and again, and boasted about it.

"Ke'er, yes, I have been training in Anzhou for more than a year, and I finally lived up to my expectations."

"Father praised it." Li Ke said in a low voice: "The sons dare not forget the emperor's duties in Anzhou, and they are also afraid of disappointing their father's expectations.

Sometimes, though...... The sons are young, and it is inevitable that they will get a little carried away, make mistakes, and do some wrong things, which will make their father angry. ”

Obviously, what Li Ke was referring to was hunting and trampling on farmland.

Li Shimin understood it in his heart, and said softly: "You are still young, and it is common for you to make mistakes occasionally, not to mention that it is just a small matter, it is not worth mentioning, Ke'er should not care."

If it weren't for Liu Fan's unforgiveness, would I be able to bear to scold my son? Those closed accounts that have been cut off, find an opportunity to add them back to you. ”

"Thank you for your father's love, but your sons and daughters make mistakes and deserve to be punished." Li Ke immediately bowed down and resigned.

"Well, Ke'er is sensible, very good!" Li Shimin nodded in approval, and said leisurely: "Let you go to Anzhou, thousands of miles away, I and your mother are reluctant, but the court needs it, so I can only work hard for you." I also want you to have more experience and become my or the prince's arm in the future. ”

Li Ke moved, and said: "Yes, the son understands that he will live up to his father's hard work." ”

"That's good!" Li Shimin stroked his son's forehead and said with a smile: "Go and see your mother, she misses you very much, you stay a few more days after the New Year, and then leave after your mother's birthday in March." ”

Li Kexi was overjoyed, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Father." ”

Li Shimin added: "In addition, go back to the East Palace, your eldest brother is injured and sick, you should go to visit...... Chang'an has not been peaceful recently, so you should also strengthen your guards and pay attention to safety when you travel. ”

"Yes, thank you father, my son knows." Li Ke's heart moved, and he gladly accepted the order.

Li Shimin looked at his beloved son Li Ke, who was heroic and upright, with steady and powerful steps, his face was calm, but his eyes moved a little, and his emotions seemed to be a little complicated.

However, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, who can understand it? (To be continued......)
