Seeing that Li Tai was frightened, Wei Ting said in a gentle tone: "Your Highness, you should not provoke the Marquis."
"It is said among the people that the one who wins the championship will win the world. Although no one in the court dares to mention this statement, it is the acquiescence of everyone."
"Although the Marquis is the prince's teacher and has long promised to only support the prince in this life, Your Highness is also a prince after all. If you get close to the prince, you may not get any benefits. It's a pity, whether you know it or not. , now I have offended the Marquis. So..."
"You'd better stop worrying about other things and be a royal prince with peace of mind. Although it is idle, it may not be a bad thing."
The idle prince? Whoever wins the championship will win the world?
Li Tai recalled everything over the years, and it seemed that he got along well with his brother-in-law. Although he often made fun of me for my fat body, my brother-in-law gave me a very special feeling. He was not like a servant or a minister. He's not like an elder in the family, he's like a generous brother, respectful and caring...
This feeling has only been felt by my brother-in-law since childhood. Others regard me as the prince or the king of Wei, but only he regards me as Li Tai, an ordinary person.
As he thought about it, Li Tai couldn't help but shed tears, as if he regretted that he had missed a big opportunity.
"Sir, I really don't know anything about my brother-in-law."
"The Jingxiang navy can be used to plot the silence of Prime Minister Wei. His Highness must know about it." Wei Ting named the key point, "Prime Minister Wei is a close relative of the Marquis. Who doesn't know that the Marquis is the most protective of his shortcomings?"
"Besides, let's not talk about the relationship between the Marquis and the Marquis. Even if you are here with your Majesty, you will not be able to get away with it. If you plot to murder a prime minister, your Majesty will not tolerate such a great evil."
Li Tai said sadly: "Sir, Tai really knows that he was wrong. Can I go and apologize to my brother-in-law sincerely?"
this……
Wei Ting said regretfully: "On the way here, I received a piece of news. It was said that Xu Datong, who was originally a death row inmate of the Yi tribe, was taken away by the Marquis. But the Marquis did not kill this person, but took him away." He kept his strength and kept him as a domestic slave."
oh? Is this happening?
Li Tai was puzzled: "Then it's not an exaggeration to say that Datong will die a thousand times, so why would my brother-in-law keep his life?"
Wei Ting stared at Li Tai and asked as if taking a test, "Your Highness really doesn't understand?"
clear? Understand what?
Wei Ting reminded: "Xu Datong is the commander of the Jingxiang Navy. He is a subordinate of His Highness. He does everything for His Highness. After the incident, I killed Xu Datong to take the blame for Your Highness. According to the rules, Your Highness should treat you favorably." of his family.”
Li Tai nodded: "Yes, I originally had high hopes for this person, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a waste."
Wei Ting said: "Your Highness, the master, fled, and Xu Datong was left as a scapegoat. It would be fine if he died, but the Marquis gave him a way to live. So should he hate the Marquis? Or should he be grateful? Lord Marquis?"
Li Tai thought for a while, "There is no doubt that it is better to die than to live. Of course he will be grateful to his brother-in-law."
Wei Ting: "What about you, Your Highness? You abandoned him without hesitation."
"That must be..." Li Tai blurted out, "Hiss..."
Thinking of this, Li Tai couldn't help but gasped, "Damn it! Dog slave! How dare he? Is it possible that he dares to seek revenge from me?"
Wei Ting shook his head and said with emotion: "This is the brilliance of the Marquis."
"Suppose one day, His Highness appears on the streets of Chang'an, and the guards are not tight, and a killer suddenly appears on the street and assassinates you, Lord Marquis? Are you unjust?"
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You mean, you mean... He, he wants to use Xu Datong as a dead assassin?"
"Haha, that's right! Xu Datong hates you to the core, and you are a person who has died before. Why would he use his life for revenge? And with the support of the Marquis, his family will definitely be fine. On the contrary, Your Highness, you will never Dare to show up in Chang'an."
"I have to say that the Marquis is worthy of his reputation as a vengeful man!"
A flash of anger flashed in Li Tai's heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up helplessly. He didn't even have a chance to resist. Maybe Wei Ting was right, he should never, never, ever mess with the champion Hou Xiaorui.
"He is so ruthless. He has made up his mind not to let me return to Chang'an in this life? Why does he want to help his eldest brother? Why not help me? Then my father and mother..."
Wei Ting thought for a moment and said: "Unless Your Highness is willing to take a gamble and boldly go to the Marquis Mansion to apologize, he will either kill you for revenge or forgive you for exposing it. Otherwise, the hatred between you will be forged. There will be no other way." He can resolve it."
After saying this, Wei Ting regretted it. Although this analysis is true, it seems to be giving Li Tai some ideas. If the Marquis finds out about it, and he helps King Wei make suggestions, alas... I am afraid he will offend the Marquis.
I never thought that Li Tai was a cowardless person. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to bet. What if that God of Killing kills me without any reason? Who should I ask to reason with? I'd better write a letter to my father and mother to let them know." They helped me get rid of this hidden danger. Even if I were asked to kowtow to Wei Zheng and apologize."
Wei Ting breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Li Tai would choose the first option.
"Now that His Highness has figured it out, I won't say much. You are studying hard and making progress here. I believe that Your Majesty and Your Majesty are also concerned about it, and they will actively help."
Li Tai cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kind words, sir. By the way, I offended you just now. I hope you can forgive me. How about I trouble you to come and tell Tai some history books tomorrow?"
"I obey my orders!"
…
Not long after, the news of next year's imperial examination spread all over the world, and Li Tai's eyes lit up, "Yes, they confine me, Li Tai, to this remote territory, but I can go out under a pseudonym, in the name of participating in the imperial examination, and as a scholar in the imperial examination." If you sign up to go to Chang'an with your identity, you won't be discovered, right?"
"Several letters sent to Chang'an have all come to nothing. Obviously, the emperor and the empress cannot do anything about it. Then I will use the name of the imperial examination to beg the emperor and the empress in person."
"Even if it doesn't work out, I can still meet my mother."
Thinking of this, Li Tai invited Wei Ting to help him create a false identity, and then signed up to take the imperial examination.
Li Tai was originally very disgusted and resistant to Wei Ting, a long-time historian and gentleman, but through contact he discovered that this person was a very talented person. Instead of having a mediocre person to be monitored by his father, it would be better to keep Wei Ting and maybe let him help with advice occasionally. It wouldn't be a loss no matter what.
Perhaps, my father sent such a talent here just to give me advice.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and hope ignited in Li Tai's heart again.
It's a pity. I don't know if it was intentional or not. It was Emperor Li Er's partiality and connivance that fueled Li Tai's pride and ambition. If Li Er only favors the prince, who of the other princes can have any illusions?
Because of the news about the imperial examination, Cui Shouzhen of the Cui clan in Qinghe also encountered a headache: his beloved daughter Cui Ning'er also wanted to sign up for the imperial examination? How is this possible? I have never heard of a woman taking the scientific examination to become an official!
However, this daughter is unusual. She has been extremely smart since she was a child, and she is already the default crown princess. She has been doted on since she was a child, and Cui Shouzhen cannot bear to criticize her harshly.
In addition, he also had some selfish motives, so he was in trouble. After thinking about it, he simply sent a letter to Xiao Rui again and asked him what the examiner's opinion was.
