Li Ke rode out of the palace on a white hoof, shocked I don't know how many people, this news may not cause much shock in Chang'an City, but for the civil and military officials, the shock is really not small, but all the officials who heard it were stunned, what is the deep meaning behind the emperor's move? The white hoof has always been the emperor's favorite BMW, how could it be given to Li Ke? In the East Palace, Li Chengqian quietly listened to the guard's report, his face had become very ugly, his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly, and with a bang, Li Chengqian got up suddenly, swept all the objects on the table to the ground, and the exquisite blue inkstone paperweight all fell to the ground, and the guards and little eunuchs next to him felt distressed.

"Why did my father give the white hoof to King Wu? Why? ”

Li Chengqian asked angrily, but no one answered, and no one dared to answer, Li Chengqian's chest rose and fell violently, and his face was particularly ugly, he had always been on guard against King Wei, his dear half-brother, he had always felt that only King Wei could threaten his position as prince, in fact, it was true, he and King Wei were the two most favored sons of their father, and whenever the reward was the most generous for the two of them, and he also knew that King Wei had been eyeing the throne, and the two had been fighting in secret, As for the other princes, they were not taken into his eyes at all, because he was the eldest son of the emperor and had an extraordinary status, because his mother was the queen and was very affectionate with his father, so how could other princes be taken into his eyes? However, what he never expected was that Li Ke, the king of Wu, was killed halfway, he was very resentful, and the king of Wei and him just competed, after all, it was a noble identity from a mother, what kind of thing are you Li Ke, the king of Wu? Because your mother is a former Sui princess? The former Sui had already entered the earth, saying that it sounded like a princess, and if it didn't sound good, wouldn't he be a special captive? If it weren't for the purpose of appeasing the former Sui ministers, his father would not have accepted the former Sui princess as a concubine, Li Chengqian took two steps anxiously and shouted.

"Go, call them all to me."

The little eunuch listened and went, although His Highness did not say who to look for, but they understood it in their hearts.

Eldest Sun Chong, Hou Selei, Helan Chushi and others rushed to the East Palace.

"Have you heard? The father gave the white hoof black to the king of Wu, the king of Wu rode the white hoof black and left the palace in a grand manner, the white hoof black, accompanied the father to fight, has always been loved by the father, although the father has six horses, but the other horses are old, only the white hoof and the green horse are still in the prime of life, and now the father has given the white hoof to the king of Wu, why is this? ”

Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice with an ugly face, and after listening to what Li Chengqian said, Helan Chushi replied with his hand.

"Your Highness is a little restless, the minister feels that a horse can't say anything, even if it is a saint's favorite horse, His Royal Highness is the eldest prince, and he is the crown prince, and his status is unshakable."

However, Li Chengqian's face didn't look much better after hearing this, and he turned his head and asked.

"What do you say, Hussere?"

Hussere replied with a deep groan.

"This thing is really strange, King Wu has not been inconspicuous, there was no sign of the Holy Grace before, but the saint suddenly gave the white hoof to the King of Wu, which is really puzzling."

Changsun Chong sneered.

"I think His Royal Highness is thinking too much, King Wu should go to participate in the horse race, so the saint rewarded him with the white hoof, just so that he would not lose the royal face."

Helan Chushi thought for a while and groaned.

"If it's for horse racing, doesn't that mean that the sage wants King Wu to be in the limelight in horse racing? After all, this is not a simple horse race, even the saints went to watch it in person, not to mention how many ministers of the court and the central government will go to watch, King Wu rode His Majesty's white hoof and made a big show in the horse race, this is ......"

As he spoke, Helan Chushi didn't say any more, his brows furrowed deeply, Li Chengqian's face became even more ugly, and he rode the white hoof to show off in front of the hundred officials, shouldn't this be what he, the prince, should do? Changsun Chong couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this, in fact, he has always been not deeply involved in the competition between the crown prince and the king of Wei, because no matter which of the two of them becomes the emperor in the future, it will be the same for the eldest grandson family, but if it is Li Ke, the king of Wu, will become the emperor in the future, it will be very different for their eldest grandson family, and this kind of thing is definitely not what their eldest grandson family wants to see, Changsun Chong said with a serious face.

"Your Highness doesn't need to panic, even if the saint values King Wu more because of something, King Wu can't go beyond His Highness, even if King Wu can pass the saint's level, can he pass the queen's mother's level?"

In fact, Changsun Chong still hasn't said a word, can King Wu pass the pass of their eldest grandson's family? Can you pass the level of the Long family? Li Chengqian calmed down a lot when he heard this, yes, if he and King Wei were fighting, it would be difficult for the queen mother to have meat on the palms and backs of his hands, but if it was King Wu Li Ke who coveted the position of the crown prince, how could the queen mother stand by and watch? Even if he doesn't have confidence in himself, he should have confidence in his mother, how can Li Ke, the king of Wu, pass the level of the queen mother? Back then, the dispute between the father and the hidden prince, the queen mother was able to mediate in the palace, which greatly reduced the pressure on the father, and now these can only be regarded as small scenes for the queen mother, Hou Selei listened to Shen Yin and said.

"I'm afraid that this is a saint taking the opportunity to knock His Highness."

Li Chengqian's face changed again when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that Hou Sailei's inference was more reasonable, because Wu King Li Ke did not have any signs of the Holy Grace before him, and Changsun Chong couldn't help but nod when he heard it, he also had to admit that what Hou Sailei said was reasonable, but his heart had calmed down, if the emperor just took the opportunity to knock His Royal Highness the Prince, it would be fine, even if the crown prince was deposed, then the one on the throne must be the King of Wei, anyway, they are all cousins The same is for him, although it is a bit shameless to think so, but the truth is true, Li Chengqian said contemplatively with an ugly face.

"But why did my father knock on the palace? This palace has been following the rules these days, and has not acted out of the ordinary. ”

Helan Chushi said contemplatively.

"Yes, some time ago, the saint was very happy and praised His Highness, what happened recently?"

Hussere groaned.

"The biggest thing that has happened recently is that the imperial court sent troops to Gaochang Kingdom, but this matter has nothing to do with His Highness?"

Li Chengqian thought about it, and suddenly his face changed.

"Could it be because of Li Yong?"

Hussere asked in surprise.

"Li Yong? What happened to Li Yong? Has King Wu had any dealings with Li Yong recently? ”

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said.

"Impossible, Li Yong has been shrinking in the nest recently and hasn't come out!"

While speaking, Changsun Chong still felt a faint pain in his heart, why did Li Yong keep shrinking outside Chang'an and didn't come out? After the newlywed, Li Yong and Princess Changle are like glue, so they stay in Xishan Courtyard most of the time, although there are not many people who know Xishan Courtyard, and his eldest grandson Chong doesn't know, only knows that Li Yong has not gone out much, this is known to everyone, Li Chengqian frowned and sighed.

"Do you still remember the big money that was in the uproar at that time?"

How is this possible to forget? Not to mention that this incident has only passed recently, even if it has been ten or twenty years, I will not forget it, Li Chengqian continued.

"At that time, the government and the opposition were talking about Li Yong being too extravagant, and the palace had said it more than once, and it was quite heavy, but I didn't expect it to break out later, and the reason why Li Yong offered a heavy reward for white stacked flowers was for the country and the people."

As soon as he talked about this, Li Chengqian was a little aggrieved, at that time he did publicly criticize Li Yong more than once for being too extravagant, which brought bad to the atmosphere of Chang'an, not because he had a grudge against Li Yong, but because he wanted to show himself, in front of his father and the emperor, and in front of the civil and military forces, he advocated frugality, which was a good opportunity for him, the prince of a country, to take the opportunity to establish influence and enhance his favor in front of his father and hundreds of officials, especially civil officials, who ate this set the most, but what he never expected was that this matter would be reversed in two days, Bai Diehua turned out to be of great use to the country and the people, not to mention the praise of the government and the opposition, and even the father and emperor directly sent troops to Gaochang Kingdom for Bai Diehua, so far I think about it, Li Chengqian still can't forget the taste in his heart at the beginning, Bai Diehua is so useful, you said it earlier! Isn't this a pit man? But he never expected that the impact would be so great, and even let his father beat him because of this? Changsun Chong and the others couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, the original reversal was really amazing, especially the taste in Changsun Chong's heart was also very complicated, because he didn't gossip much at the beginning, Hou Sailei muttered.

"It's not that this possibility is impossible, I heard that Lord Wei went directly into the palace to impeach Li Yong, and was reprimanded by the sage, Li Yong carried the broken jacket into the palace, and I heard that the sage was very excited!"

At this moment, Li Chengqian regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have done it against Li Yong, Li Yong was evil, Changsun Chong suddenly calmed down after hearing it, although Li Chengqian was beaten by the emperor for reprimanding Li Yong, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, did not reprimand Li Yong, now think about this guy chicken thief, not only Changsun Chong thought of Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li Chengqian also thought of Li Tai, after all, his biggest competitor has always been Li Tai, so he was always thinking about Li Tai, Li Tai did not reprimand Li Yong everywhere at that time, quietly, At that time, he was still laughing at Li Tai's timidity in private, such a good opportunity did not do anything in the slightest, it was wasted, at this time he simply had the urge to rush to the Wei Wangfu to strangle Li Tai to death, at this time Li Tai must also know the news, maybe how to laugh, Li Tai, who was thinking about Li Chengqian, also received the news that Li Ke rode a white hoof from the palace at this time, and several strategists around him couldn't help but change their faces slightly when they heard it.

"Your Highness, it's not good! Why did you kill a King Wu halfway! ”

"Yes, King Wu's holy family has always been not very good, how can he be rewarded by the saint with a white-hoofed black horse?"

"Yes, you must know that the white hoof crow is very cherished by the saints, and even His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have never touched it!"

"How could the saint suddenly give the White Hoof Wu a reward to King Wu? The saint must have another deep meaning, Your Highness must not be on guard? ”

Li Tai listened to the discussion of these strategists, but the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, and even his two eyes were smiling so that only a slit remained, and several strategists looked at each other, why did His Royal Highness King Wei look quite happy?

"Your Highness, aren't you worried?"

Faced with the questions of the strategists, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh, not because Li Ke was rewarded with white hoof, but because of this strategist, although these strategists can't be regarded as straw bags, but they can only make a few sour words, which are useless after all, Li Tai smiled.

"If you want to worry, it's also the king's good big brother to worry about, what is the king's heart? Not only is this king not worried, on the contrary, this king is very happy, this king is sincerely happy, this king's third brother can be rewarded by his father and the emperor, this is a good thing! What a good thing! ”

Several strategists were blinded, and they even doubted that His Royal Highness King Wei would not be angry and stupid, right? As we all know, one of the princes most valued by the emperor today is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the next is King Wei, and now there is another King Wu, doesn't King Wei mean that there is another competitor? In fact, Li Tai said what he said from his heart, he was really happy, because he felt that the more chaotic the situation, the better, if Li Ke, the king of Wu, also got the holy favor, then would he also covet the crown prince? In that case, he and Li Ke, the king of Wu, have the same purpose, to pull the prince off the horse first, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend! Once the crown prince is pulled off the horse by the two of them, will Li Ke, the king of Wu, be his opponent? Dealing with Wu Wang Li Ke is much easier than dealing with the crown prince, he is the prince of Wu, Wu Wang Li Ke is not only the prince but also the mother is sensitive, the battle between him and the prince is not easy to interfere with either the queen mother or the eldest grandson's family, because the palms and backs of the hands are meat, but what if he and Wu Wang Li Ke fight in the end? Whether it is the queen mother or the eldest grandson, they will stand on his side without reservation, what kind of huge force is this? Not only the queen mother and the eldest grandson's family, but also Li Yong, when the time comes, Li Yong will also stand firmly on his side, because Changle and he are from the same mother, Changle will definitely support him, the half-brother, the support of the queen mother plus the support of the eldest grandson's family plus Li Yong's support, who else in the court can compete? To put it mildly, he thinks that the coup can be successful, of course, the premise is that he and Li Ke, the king of Wu, can join forces to pull the prince off the horse, no matter what, it is much stronger than him fighting alone, so Li Tai will only be happy when he hears the news, and he will only feel that the holy family of Li Ke, the king of Wu, is not enough, he looks forward to Li Ke's holy family being deeper, of course, he also has a trace of doubt, why did Li Ke suddenly become favored without any warning?

"I really don't understand why His Highness is so happy?"

One of the strategists asked, confused.

Li Tai asked with a smile.

"What do you think the prince is doing now? This king thinks that my prince brother must have a headache and depression at the moment, isn't this enough for this king to be happy? In the future, the thorn in the prince's eye will not only be this king. ”

Although Li Tai said it implicitly, after his reminder, several strategists were also a little surprised, and they also understood something.

"In this way, it is really a good thing for His Highness!"

"Yes, in the future, there will be King Wu to share the rain of arrows from the East Palace."
