Chang'an Mansion.

Li Ke is really not idle.

As the governor of Chang'an Mansion, Li Ke dare not say that he is the most qualified governor, but he must be the most diligent.

Since taking office as the governor of Chang'an Mansion, Li Ke has come to the government almost every day to handle official business.

In fact, few people like them who are on a temporary job in a government like Li Ke will sit on duty like Li Ke.

Even Li Chengqian, who was at the beginning, rarely came to Chang'an Mansion to sit in the court.

Therefore, Li Ke is so wholesome, and what he really offended is actually Shaoyin of Chang'an Mansion.

And now the Shaoyin of Chang'an Mansion is from Jingzhao Wei.

Although the Jingzhao Wei clan is not comparable to the five surnames and seven wangs, it is also a deep-rooted wang family in the Tang Dynasty, and the Jingzhao Du clan is called Chengnan Weidu, which shows the huge size of its family.

Before Li Ke, the real person in charge of Chang'an Mansion was actually Shaoyin, and as soon as Li Ke did this, Shaoyin of Chang'an Mansion, who was originally fragrant and gluttonous, instantly became a chicken rib, which also made the relationship between him and Shaoyin a little tense.

Of course, this is not to say that Li Ke will not entrap his subordinates, and this is not either.

It's that Li Ke's ruling policy is slightly radical, and there are even faint signs of eroding the rights and interests of the family.

This led to a constant rivalry between the two of them.

At this time, among the yamen of Chang'an Mansion, Li Ke set aside an area in Wannian County to build a fang city with various workshops as the core to discuss with the people of the government office.

He had just put forward this idea, and Wei Shaoyin immediately stood up and said coldly: "Fu Yin is not a little taken for granted, how many dignitaries and dignitaries live in Wannian County, if you want to build a workshop as the core of the city in Wannian County, those people are willing?"

What's more, although Wannian County is not as prosperous as Chang'an County in terms of business, the land price is not cheaper than Chang'an, right?

If you really want to talk about it, in Wannian County, I'm afraid the investment is even greater than Chang'an, right? ”

Although he is only Shaoyin, he is not afraid of Li Ke at all.

Of course, this is also a common problem among the children of the Shi family, not to mention facing Li Ke, even if they are facing Li Er, they are also neck-hanging.

When Li Ke heard this, he also frowned slightly, in the past few years, after he took office as Yin of Chang'an Mansion, he had some prestige.

"According to Wei Shaoyin's words, then my Chang'an Mansion doesn't need to be developed." Li Ke sneered, "After all, my Chang'an Mansion is full of nobles, whether it is Wannian County or Chang'an County, there are various nobles, so in this way, then my Chang'an still needs to develop?" ”

Wei Shaoyin didn't panic at all when he heard this, and immediately went back: "Fu Yin's words are wrong, Chang'an is certainly going to develop, but according to Fu Yin's words, could it be that my lords and nobles in Chang'an have influenced the development of Chang'an?"

If this is what Fu Yin means, then after the officials and the government officials go down today, they will go to the mansions of the nobles to do work, so that they must focus on the development of Chang'an, abandon their families and businesses, and stay away from Chang'an. ”

For Li Ke, Wei Shaoyin was not panicked at all.

The Shi clan is one, as long as he stands in the interests of the Shi clan, no matter how he offends Li Ke, he is not afraid, even if Li Ke makes trouble with Li Er, there will be officials of the Shi clan to protect him.

If not, how could these officials of the Shi clan still dare to speak up for the Shi clan?

This is also the reason why the Shi clan has been able to develop steadily for so many years.

Although Li Ke was so angry when he heard him say this, he still said with a smile: "Why should Wei Shaoyin be angry? Aren't you discussing? In the final analysis, it's all for the development of Chang'an, and today's Chang'an is not bad, but why can't it be better?

Isn't it also what we officials should do to make more work for the common people?

Could it be that there are no ordinary people in Chang'an except for Xungui?

Or is it that the officials of my Chang'an Mansion are only solving problems for the honorable? ”

In the face of Li Ke's repeated questions, Wei Shaoyin was also a little overwhelmed, mainly because Li Ke brought out the people, which made him very uncomfortable.

Although everyone actually understands and understands that the officials of Chang'an Mansion themselves serve the nobles.

But who would dare to say that?

At the moment, Wei Shaoyin also shut up, but even if he shut up, Li Ke's work is not easy to carry out, after all, if you want to touch the rights and interests of the Shi family, where is it so simple.

Li Chengqian just does that, after all, the cake of the people who can move the Shi clan is because they are not in Chang'an, or even in Datang, why do you Li Ke do this?

Until the afternoon, the deliberations of the Chang'an Mansion were inconclusive.

However, Li Ke was not disappointed, he actually knew that such a thing would definitely not come to an end so quickly.

Li Er sometimes had to compromise, let alone him.

Back in the Shu Palace, Li Ke was also furious.

I didn't lose my temper in Chang'an Mansion before, but when I returned to my mansion now, I was also angry.

At this time, the only one who dared to stand next to Li Ke was his staff member Yang De.

I saw Yang De wave his hand and send everyone away, then he smiled and said: "Your Highness, why do you need to be angry, as long as the interests of those scholars are moved, they will dare to contradict Your Majesty, let alone us." ”

"How can this king not understand this truth, but those guys' hands are inevitably too long!" After that, Li Ke suddenly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, has King Zhao had a letter delivered recently?" ”

Speaking of Li Yuanjing, Yang De shook his head and said, "No, the old man always feels that King Zhao's attitude is a little unclear, especially after Da Zhao and Da Ming changed lands this time, we have less and less contact with King Zhao. ”

"This king, this uncle, is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Li Ke also nodded and said, "It's not good this time, what agreement has he reached with the royal brother of this king, but Mr. Huaizhi can go to a letter to find out."

For us, it is still important to have the support of King Zhao.

If you can fight for it, you still have to try to fight for it. ”

Yang De nodded, and said: "By the way, Pei Mo and they have sent a letter recently, and it is reported that since the death of the Emperor Taishang, Pei Mo and their old ministers have been in contact with the old ministers of Yuanmou more and more frequently.

I heard that they even contacted Liu Hongji privately, whether this is too much.

After all, our majesty can't rub sand in his eyes. ”

"It's been a bit." Li Ke also nodded, but said helplessly, "But those guys actually don't listen to the words of this king."

In the final analysis, they are actually still waiting, and the reason why it is so rampant now should be to test the attitude of their father and brother.

Let's leave this alone, it's better to have less contact for the time being, if they really want to play too much, whether it is the father or the royal brother of this king, they will not tolerate them.

By the way, Mr. Huaizhi, if you have time recently, you can get in touch with those nobles. ”

The Wang clan he said is naturally the former Sui old minister, although the dynasty has changed, but the power of these guys is still not small.

One or two may not be able to do anything, but if you get everyone together, it's a big deal.

"Your Highness wants to use them to fight against these wealthy families in Guanzhong?" Yang De shook his head when he heard this, "I'm afraid it's not easy to get it, after all, many of them are wealthy families in Guanzhong, so it's impossible for them to deal with themselves by themselves."

There is a saying that His Royal Highness should understand, the dynasty of flowing water, the family of iron.

On this basis, their position is still very firm. ”

"This king understands." Li Ke smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry about it for the time being, Mr. Huaizhi just needs to contact him, and then the king will have his own arrangements." ”

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, a small servant walked in and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, someone has come to the palace, saying that Concubine Yang invited Her Royal Highness into the palace." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Concubine Yang who called him into the palace, Li Ke immediately said: "Then the king will enter the palace, and the affairs of the palace will be handed over to Mr. Huaizhi." ”

After speaking, Li Ke immediately raised his legs and left.

And watching Li Ke go away, Yang De also frowned slightly, what Li Ke wanted to do, he was naturally clear, and he also supported it, but the current environment was not friendly to Li Ke.

In the palace, Li Ke greeted his mother with a smile on his face.

And Concubine Yang also prepared a table of wine and food early, and said with a smile: "Ke'er hasn't been in the palace for a while to accompany her mother to dinner, right?" ”

"It's all the child's fault." Li Ke immediately got up and said, "I've been really busy lately, but it's not a child." ”

Concubine Yang smiled when she heard this, patted Li Ke's head, and said with a smile: "Ke'er has grown a lot taller, and it should be over." ”

As soon as he heard Concubine Yang's words, Li Ke was directly stunned.

That's it?

"But who put pressure on the mother?" Li Ke immediately asked.

Concubine Yang smiled: "Where is there any pressure, it's just that you are so big now, it stands to reason that it should have been done a long time ago, and it has been delayed for so many years, which is not in accordance with the rules."

Moreover, now Gao Ming is becoming more and more powerful, and his position is becoming more and more stable, and he has no chance of winning. ”

Standing in her position, she really didn't want Li Ke to fight with Li Chengqian.

After all, what status is Li Chengqian now, and what can Li Ke contend with.

"It's up to the child to decide whether it's a fan or not." Li Ke shook his head and said, "All this depends on what my father wants." ”

After all, he was still unwilling, after all, he had just seen a little hope now, and he could give up easily.

Moreover, that position has a fatal allure for everyone.

Concubine Yang shook her head when she heard this: "You should actually understand, although your father has given you a lot of opportunities now, whether it is your father or the officials of the Tang Dynasty, they are more preferred."

Gao Ming's return to Chang'an is of too great significance to Datang.

You don't have any chance of winning from that alone. ”

"Children understand that." Li Ke said, "But now, no matter whether the child fights or not, it is not for the child to decide." ”

When Concubine Yang heard this, she didn't say anything more.

At that moment, after a simple meal between the two mothers and sons, Li Ke left.

Back at the house, Li Ke shook his head and said, "The queen may have put pressure on the mother concubine and wanted this king to die." ”

"That's it?" Yang De was also stunned when he heard this, "But now whether His Royal Highness wants to decide or not is not for Concubine Yang to decide, right?" Judging from the current trend, His Majesty will not allow His Highness to do it now. ”

"That's right." Li Ke said, "Nowadays, many things are not up to us to decide at all, isn't the reason why my father let this king serve as the governor of Chang'an Mansion is to create an opponent for the imperial brother?"

To put it mildly, even if there is no king, there will be other brothers, this is the means of the father, and it is not at all for us to decide. ”

When he said this, Li Ke was also a little helpless.

Although he has a noble status, there are many times when he can't help himself.

Now that the eldest grandson is obviously eyeing him, it is impossible to say that he is not worried.

It's just that he clearly doesn't have a better way.

"Let's toss a little less lately." Li Ke said, "If you really want the queen to catch our sore feet, it is impossible to let us go." ”

After speaking, Li Ke rubbed his head, and he also had a headache.

At the same time, in the palace, Li Er was listening to the old chamberlain of the secret spy department report on the recent news, and said with a smile: "It seems that this Tang Dynasty is really not calm."

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you. ”

When the old chamberlain was about to speak, a small yellow door walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Xuan Guo asks to see you." ”

As soon as he heard that Gong Guo asked to see, Li Er was stunned for a moment, just now they talked about Liu Hongji, and then the person came, Li Er smiled and said: "This person, I still can't stand the chatter." ”

After saying that, Li Er waved his hand and said, "You step back first." ”

After speaking, he nodded to Xiao Huangmen and motioned to Liu Hongji.

After a while, Liu Hongji walked in.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

Li Er smiled and said, "Gong Guo entered the palace today, is there something important?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Liu Hongji also said with a smile, "It's just that Pei Mo and they have repeatedly sent letters to the old minister recently, and the old minister doesn't understand it, so I want to ask Your Majesty, does this Pei Mo have any deep meaning?" ”

Liu Hongji has actually lived very carefully in the past few years.

Because in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Xiaochang rebelled, and he was implicated once, although his old life was left at that time, it was inevitable to seize the official position and dismiss the knight.

It was in the past two years that Li Er recovered again, and he returned to the Tang Dynasty.

This time, Pei Mo and these guys repeatedly contacted him, and he immediately took the initiative to find Li Er.

Because these old courtiers all know that the person Li Er hates the most is Pei Lone.

"After all, how many years have you been old buddies, they contacted you, what's the big deal, what's the matter, what did they make you embarrassed?" Li Er also smiled.

Liu Hongji shook his head and said: "I didn't let the old minister do anything, but he didn't have any contact for many years, and he suddenly sent a letter to the old man to ask for warmth, and the old minister was confused."

Didn't I think of Pei Mo doing something for His Highness in Daming, so I thought of coming to His Majesty and asking, is there anything bad to do on His Highness's side, and what does the minister need to do? ”

He is also a human spirit, and he thought about the reason before he came.

Of course, the reason why he came was actually to express his stance to Li Er, and in fact, it was just one sentence, this time, he would not be in the wrong position.

In fact, he didn't stand in any position now, because he really didn't want to get involved in these things.

"Is it smart?" Li Er smiled, "If Gaoming needs your help with something, you can help, after all, it's not easy for that kid to be alone in Daming." ”

After saying that, Li Er looked at Liu Hongji with a smile.

When Liu Hongji heard this, he didn't understand what Li Er meant, so he immediately smiled and said, "Lao Chen understands." ”

After Liu Hongji left, Li Er also smiled, he knew what Pei Mo meant, but it was just a temptation.

The reason why Liu Hongji was chosen was that Liu Hongji had been in a bad situation over the years.

To say that it is ugly, it is to pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

Sorry, I was deceived on a blind date in the past two days...... I was so angry that I almost lost my body.
