Cen Wenwen drove lightly from the house, and was very low-key all the way.

All the way forward, came to a courtyard in the east of the city, the owner of which is the son of the eldest princess of Pingyang, the princess of Baling, Chai Lingwu.

However, the purpose of Cen Wenwen's trip was a guest here, Li Ke, the king of Wu.

Li Ke had a good personal relationship with Chai Lingwu in private, often drinking and having fun here, watching sumo wrestling fights, and sometimes personally going down to the field to compare two handfuls.

Not long after Li Ke arrived here today, a guard came to report: "Your Highness, the Chinese scholar Lang Cen Wenwen asks to see you!" ”

"Who's going to see whom?" Li Ke was suddenly a little surprised.

The guard said: "Cen Shilang said that he was asking to see His Highness!" ”

Li Ke couldn't help but smile: "It's interesting, this king is here as a guest, but someone comes to the door to ask to see him, which makes Wu Mo weird!" ”

"Your Highness, go down and see you, my master doesn't mind." Chai Lingwu said with a smile: "What's more, it's the Zhongshu squire who came, how could His Highness not see it?" ”

"Okay, I'll go back as soon as I go." Li Ke got up and went to a flower hall to receive Cen Wenwen.

"See His Royal Highness King Wu!" When Cen Wenwen saw Li Ke, he bowed and saluted, which was very thoughtful.

"Mr. Cen, hurry up and excuse me!" Li Ke hurriedly said: "In the past, when Ke was the king of Changsha County, Mr. traveled to Changsha after leaving Jingzhou, and once pointed out the king's knowledge, Li Ke still remembers it vividly, how dare he accept a big gift from Mr.?" ”

Cen Wenwen hurriedly said: "Where? In the past, in Changsha, it was the honor of the minister to explain the knowledge to His Royal Highness together with the history of the minister, and the minister and His Royal Highness did not have the status of teacher and student; What's more, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and etiquette cannot be abolished. ”

"I don't know what happened to my husband's visit today?" Li Ke is very smart, Cen Wenwen only pointed out that he had read a few articles back then, but after all, he had an old friendship with teaching, so this relationship should be carefully maintained.

After all, Cen Wenwen is a Chinese scholar, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and his identity is important and sensitive; This point is also where Li Ke is puzzled, for so many years. Cen Wenwen had never taken the initiative to make friends with him, and it was a little abrupt to come today, so he went straight to the point and asked.

"Has Your Highness ever heard that Uncle Huaiyang was imprisoned?"

When Cen Wenwen asked, Li Ke was a little confused, what does this have to do with himself?

"I heard!"

"Has Your Highness ever heard that Xie Yi asked for a review of Du Fuwei's conspiracy case?"

"I've heard of it."

"What does Your Highness think?"

"Uh......" Li Ke hesitated, "Mr. Cen, what do you mean?" Forgive Li Ke for being dull and difficult to understand. ”

Cen Wenwen said leisurely: "Your Highness, the minister has been paying attention to all the performances in Zhongshu Province recently, and there are many impeachers, but there are few who are on the top to protect Xie Yi. ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Shum? Do you want this king to protect Xie Yi? Li Ke felt that his thinking was a little unable to keep up. The jump was a bit too big.

"Your Highness, you only need a note stating the importance of Xie Yi and the necessity of retrying Du Fuwei's case; Both the court and His Majesty need it. ”

Li Ke frowned and asked, "In that case, why doesn't Mr. go to the slack?" but to find the king, not others. ”

Cen Wenwen said: "The minister is in the Chinese book, so it is inconvenient to say more; As for the others, none of His Highness is qualified to write this note. ”

"Why?"

Cen Wenwen said in a deep voice: "Because His Royal Highness was the king of Changsha in the past, the king of Shu, and today he is the king of Wu." He is the Metropolitan Governor of Anju. ”

"This ......" Li Ke was a little confused, what does this have to do with his knighthood?

Cen Wenwen said in a deep voice: "Because His Highness's fiefs and jurisdictions are in the south!" ”

"South?" Li Ke is also an extremely intelligent person, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly remembered some of Yu Shinan's resignation and Xie Yi's remarks after taking office; Du Fuwei crisscrossed the Jianghuai River in the past years. Also in the South......

Cen Wenwen said: "Judging from the investigation of Dali Temple so far, Kan Leng's crime is unforgivable, but there is no evidence to conclude that Xie Yi is guilty; But there are people who do not give up, so that His Majesty is embarrassed.

Presumably His Highness knows that too. Because of Master Xie's position as the governor of the Jin Dynasty, this person is already important, and now he is associated with Du Fuwei. To put it seriously, it is already about the tranquility of the entire south. ”

"Cen Shilang is alarmist, isn't he?"

Cen Wenwen shook his head and said: "Your Highness has ever thought that when you went to Sui Hou Jun to gather a military general with troops, he suddenly went to Chenzhou to do the assassination; Why is it Your Highness that went to Anzhou to be the governor of the capital, your most heroic prince? ”

"Uh, what do you mean?" Li Ke was suddenly startled again.

"Your Majesty Shengming, employing people has always been profound, Your Highness has been in Anzhou for a year, you should understand the holy will."

Li Ke's heart was shocked, his father didn't say, he didn't ask, he never thought about it, he just thought it was intentional to let himself experience, and he never thought that there was such a deep meaning......

"Even so, why do you have to be the king?"

"Because His Highness's fiefdom is all in the south, and the Jingxiang stationed in it is also in the south, he knows the thoughts and forms of the southerners best, and His Highness has the most say in the problems related to the south; The people of the south also want His Highness to speak for them the most. ”

Cen Wenwen said: "The most important thing is that the court and His Majesty also hope to have such a recital, an opportunity as a step. ”

"Mr. Cen has been in the Chinese book for a long time, and he must be unmatched to realize the holy will, this king believes it."

Li Ke said leisurely: "It's just that this matter must be risky, not to mention that there is no way to make a profit, what is the benefit of this king?" ”

"Of course, there are benefits!" Cen Wenwen said softly: "Hunting and trampling on farmland under His Royal Highness last year, it is somewhat of a fault in the hearts of His Majesty and the courtiers, but now His Highness has done the right thing, isn't it good to change his impression?"

His Majesty has always taken into account the overall situation, and His Royal Highness knows it, but this time the attitude of the East Palace and the Wei Palace's ...... His Royal Highness's performance is to observe the holy will, take into account the overall situation, and relieve the sorrows of the monarch's father, and His Majesty will have more favor and praise for His Royal Highness. ”

Li Ke coughed lightly, obviously intended.

Cen Wenwen continued: "If Your Highness's move makes the south peaceful, it will be due to the community, and the people of the south will have more reverence and gratitude for Your Highness;

And Huaiyang County Bo himself will also be grateful to His Royal Highness for his help; Xie Yi is young, the same age as the princes, and has outstanding learning ability, so he will repay his favor to His Royal Highness in the future. However, please remember that this move is for the sake of the community and for Your Majesty, and Your Highness should abide by his duty. ”

Li Ke nodded secretly, and then asked, "Is Mr. Cen familiar with Xie Yi?" ”

Cen Wenwen's heart was shocked, but his expression was inconspicuous: "I don't know each other, and I even talked in private; In private, the ministers also came from the south; Yu Gong, a minister, should be the court, and relieve the worries of the monarch's father. ”

"Hmm!" Li Ke nodded lightly and asked, "That gentleman came today, is it a personal act, or is it the emperor's order?" ”

"It's the minister's personal behavior, but His Majesty will definitely know about it later." Cen replied.

Li Ke said softly: "Okay, what Mr. said, this king will seriously consider it." ”

"Your Highness Lao, the minister is leaving!" Cen Wenwen didn't say anything more, got up and said goodbye and left.

Li Ke, who stayed in place, fell silent and remained silent for a long time. Things came too suddenly, but what Cen Wenwen said was reasonable, in the end, it was none of his business, and it was better to hang high?

Or do you actively admonish, stir up right and wrong, and gain some benefits? For a while, Li Ke was a little difficult.

At this moment, Chai Lingwu pushed the side door and entered......
