Chapter 138: How to choose the road to Japan

"Your Highness, I heard some of Cen Shilang's words!" Chai Lingwu is very sincere and outspoken.

As for whether it was overheard or deliberately eavesdropped, it was not explicitly said, and it is difficult to say.

Li Ke was noncommittal, as if he didn't care about the matter of "the wall has ears", but asked softly: "Ling Wu, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"This ......"

"He came so suddenly that the king couldn't react for a while." Li Ke got up and walked to the window and sighed softly.

Chai Lingwu said in a low voice: "However, what Cen Wenwen said is not completely unreasonable, if this matter is completed, it will be beneficial to His Highness." ”

"Benefits?! There are indeed some. Li Ke's tone was vaguely joking.

"Cen Wenwen has been in the Chinese book for a long time, and he understands the holy will best, maybe His Majesty has this intention and is inconvenient to say it clearly, and Cen Wenwen figured it out, and then came to His Highness."

Chai Lingwu guessed: "After all, Cen Wenwen has no motive to harm His Highness, according to what he said, if this move can win the Sacred Heart, His Highness should seize the opportunity." ”

"Opportunity?" Li Ke seemed to ask and sighed, his expression was a little leisurely, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yes, didn't Your Highness ever think about it?" Chai Lingwu uttered a very inflammatory word.

"Huh?" Li Ke was startled lightly, shook his head lightly and said, "You know the identity of the concubine, I can only ...... in this life."

"Your Royal Highness, it's wrong, you have the blood of the nobles of the imperial family of the Sui and Tang dynasties, you have the most noble background and the most qualified ......" Chai Lingwu said: "The prince's talent is not as good as His Royal Highness, not to mention that he has broken a leg now, if there is no East Palace, His Royal Highness will be the eldest among the princes." ”

"Since ancient times, concubines have given priority, in addition to the crown prince, there are also the kings of Wei and Jin."

Chai Lingwu said: "Your Highness, he occupies the heir, and you occupy the elder." None of them are the eldest sons, each has its own reason, and it is time to choose the meritocracy.

Can King Wei be compared to His Royal Highness? Cen Wenwen is right, in the matter of Xie Yi, the East Palace and the King of Wei have made mistakes, if His Royal Highness relieves the worries of the monarch's father, and is favored by His Majesty, he may be able to suppress them in the future. ”

"Is this a recital that will offend people?"

"That's right, it's going to offend Li Xiaogong, so what?" Chai Lingwu said disapprenousively: "All these years. The king of Hejian County is leading the troops outside, and he is used to flying and domineering, but he is afraid that His Majesty will have the heart to beat him.

What's more, he only has the East Palace and the Wei Palace's Mansion in his eyes, how can he ever look at His Royal Highness? If the Hejian Mansion collapses, it will actually be a good thing for His Highness. ”

Li Ke said leisurely: "Good to me?" How so? ”

"The Tang Dynasty uses military force to determine the country, and the generals are brave, in order to check and balance, there must be a clan to control part of the military power; In the past, Li Xiaogong was the first person in the clan army, if he fell. Who will take over? ”

Chai Lingwu said: "From the perspective of proximity and long-term planning, His Highness has no intention of being the most suitable candidate. ”

Li Ke shook his head categorically and said, "No, when have you seen the prince with heavy troops in his hands?" If Li Xiaogong is unlucky, then Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, will be reused by his father. ”

"That's right...... But it doesn't hurt His Highness. ”

Chai Lingwu said: "The key is that His Highness can also get a lot from this move." Just like Cen Wenwen said, the hearts of the people in the south and the support of the southern scholars, he Cen Wenwen also owes His Highness a favor. Xie Yi will be even more grateful to His Royal Highness. ”

"Xie Yi ......"

"Yes, this son is young and excelling. Donggong and the eldest grandson Wuji competed for each other, and his father was sure that this son was a talent with an unlimited future, and he didn't want to do this. ”

Chai Lingwu said: "But if His Highness comes forward and protects him, it will be completely different." Your Highness, do you remember that Cen Wenwen deliberately emphasized a sentence just now? ”

Li Ke said softly: "Talented, the same age as the princes. ”

Cen Wen's implication is that Xie Yi is a talent left by His Majesty for future generations...... If His Royal Highness sends charcoal in the snow now, he will be gracious to him, and he will ...... in the future" Chai Lingwu did not continue, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

Li Ke smiled and said: "According to what you say, the ninth brother should be the most favored by the father, don't forget, Xie Yi is the chief of the Jin Palace." ”

"King Jin? How can it be? Chai Lingwu immediately shook his head and said, "King Jin is ten years old, what can he see?" Xie Yi's long history is not like that. ”

"This matter ......"

"Your Highness, you can't miss the opportunity, what a rare opportunity, a letter in exchange for many benefits." Chai Lingwu said: "In the future, Baling (Princess) and I will fully support His Royal Highness, and on my father's side, I will try my best to fight for it." ”

"But don't forget, Cen Wenwen specially told this king to abide by his duty." Li Ke said leisurely: "This is what the mother concubine also means, so this king ......"

"Your Highness, this is not a conflict, now you are acting for the sake of the country, if the East Palace is stable, Your Highness will abide by your duty and be a good prince."

Chai Lingwu said: "If there is a change, today's actions will be rewarded in the future, why not?" Your Highness, think about it! ”

……

Cen Wenwen walked out of the courtyard, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

Wu Wang Li Ke is indeed the most suitable person, this letter is the most weighty, while maintaining Xie Yi, he will also throw a big stone in the court, which will inevitably cause an uproar.

What's worse is that it inadvertently touched Li Ke's sensitive mind, and Cen Wenwen couldn't predict whether this heroic third prince had a firm heart?

If because of his own words, he is ready to move, has thoughts of non-separation, and even has non-trivial actions, causing him to fall into the whirlpool of seizing the heir, and even harming him, then ......

Cen Wenwen couldn't help but feel a little guilty, his own approach was inevitably a little inappropriate, but the current situation was like this, and he had to do it as a last resort, it was really ......

I hope so!

I hope that he can listen to those two words of his advice and try his best to abide by his duty. If he really has that blessing in the future, it will be really crooked.

I have done everything I need to do, and I have also explained to Du Ruo's master, so it is really difficult to predict what will happen next.

It is still unknown whether Li Ke will listen to such an abrupt advice, and Cen Wenwen, who has always been steady, does not feel that he is completely sure.

Everything is left to fate, let Xie Yi decide for himself! I've never met, and I've never had a word-to-word conversation, so helping him is already worthy of him.

As for the favor he promised, he still had to repay it himself after all......

……

Zheng Liwan went to Dali Temple again, this time with a lot of low profile.

The last time there was a storm in the city, she has always been very strange, I don't know who is spreading rumors behind her back, wanting to harm people invisibly.

Fortunately, Emperor Shengming did not become angry because of this, but it was necessary to keep a low profile.

Still like last time, Zheng Liwan and Xie Yi talked privately for a long time, and outsiders didn't know what they talked about.

I only knew that Zheng Liwan had a cheerful expression and relaxed steps, and hurriedly walked out of Dali Temple and went straight to the Qianjin Medicine House on Leyou Yuan.

And after Sun Shenxian heard a few whispers from Zheng Liwan, he went even more crazy, looking for a cow infected with smallpox everywhere......
