If it were someone else, that would be fine, at this time.
This second emperor brother's face will be given to him no matter what.
He is also the legitimate son of Li Shimin and the daughter of Empress Changsun.
His power in the court has also reached a terrifying level.
Compared with him, Li Chengqian only took advantage of his status.
Looking at Li Tai's vigorous pace, Li Ke felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" records that Wei King Li Tai was as fat as a pig and had trouble walking, sitting and lying down.
Whenever traveling, the chariot must be carried by four powerful eunuchs.
Even holiday celebrations are like this.
But in Li Ke's view, this is completely exaggerated.
An adult man of normal height weighs less than 200 pounds.
No matter how you look at it, you can't call him fat as a pig.
The reason is probably that Li Tai's younger brother, the future Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi, really didn't like him.
That's why he was smeared in the history books of later generations.
But Li Zhi may not have thought that it would be decades after his death.
The great Tang Dynasty gave birth to a great beauty who "looked back and smiled with all her beauty, and the sixth palace of pink and white has no color".
This beauty is less than 1.6 meters tall and weighs over 140.
If placed in future generations, she would be a proper fat girl.
However, his grandson, the famous Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was fascinated by her, and was dubbed one of the four beauties by future generations.
The drama of history is evident.
"By the way, Brother Huang, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been here?"
As if remembering something, Li Ke asked.
"Brother, I think he is still copying books at the moment."
When talking about this topic, Li Tai did not hide the smile on his face.
"It is said that yesterday he returned to the East Palace and was so angry that he smashed all the Jin Dynasty color kiln vases on the desk."
"I'm so ashamed."
"What are you ashamed of?" Li Tai said calmly, "As a prince, he cannot even understand Confucian classics such as Mencius. It is natural for my father to punish him."
Li Ke shook his head and did not answer.
Everyone knows that Li Tai and Li Chengqian don't get along.
So when he saw Li Chengqian deflated, he was naturally very happy.
But Li Ke couldn't follow him, because people in the court were too arrogant.
If someone sees you, report it to Li Chengqian.
The latter might think that the two of them would join forces, when the time comes.
The full-fledged Li Tai will not have any influence, but he, the little King of Wu, will suffer.
He didn't have the capital to compete with Li Chengqian in the first place. If the excitement got too much and he jumped over the wall, then he, the King of Wu, would have to log off early.
"Third brother, we are here."
While talking, the two walked into a towering pavilion.
In the pavilion, three women in palace clothes were sitting upright.
It was Queen Changsun, Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang, the mother of Li Ke.
Beside them, several girls wearing various long skirts were standing at their desks, writing something unknown.
"My son has met his mother."
"I've met the Queen."
The two walked to the court and bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite, get up quickly."
Empress Changsun was as gentle and virtuous as recorded in history.
Seeing the two of them standing, she said to Li Ke with a gentle smile on her face.
"This is Ke'er. I haven't seen you since you moved into Prince Wu's Mansion. Unexpectedly, you have now become an upright man."
"The Queen is so impressed."
Li Ke paused after hearing this.
"We are all family, just call me aunt."
Queen Changsun said with a smile.
"yes."
Li Ke nodded.
As a person of two generations, he can still hear the casual remarks and polite remarks.
He was sure that if he really followed Empress Changsun's advice and called her aunt.
Tomorrow Li Shimin's case will be filled with memorials from Zhongshu Province impeaching him for not knowing etiquette.
As for the charges, there must be at least twenty.
"Are you Li Ke?"
A girl suddenly raised her head and walked up to Li Ke.
"I heard that you have a lot of knowledge and a lot of talent? We just happen to be holding a poetry meeting today, so how about you write a poem with the theme of 'Ode to the Moon'?"
"Gao Yang, don't be rude."
Queen Changsun said angrily.
Damn it!
Li Ke's expression remained unchanged, but the alarm bell in his heart was ringing crazily.
When he was a history teacher in his previous life, he did a project.
If we traveled back to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, who would not be easily provoked?
Obviously, this girl is among them, and her name is high.
She had an affair with Master Xuanzang's disciple Bian Ji, and joined forces with Xue Wanche and others to rebel... She was able to connect with famous major events in the early Tang Dynasty.
Even if Li Ke was unjustly killed in history, this person's reasons were also involved.
If Empress Changsun hadn't been watching from above, Li Ke felt that he might have run away without shame.
"Sister Gao Yang... I have little talent and little knowledge, so it's hard for me to obey my orders."
Li Ke decided to give in. This was indeed not the time for a head-on confrontation.
"Why, you were so heroic at your father's birthday party, and now you have turned into a bear here?"
Princess Gao Yang frowned, looking very dissatisfied.
Li Ke didn't quite understand why she was so hostile to him. Is her aunt here?
"Since Master Xiao was punished last time, Master Wang also received a reminder and doubled his coursework."
Li Tai leaned next to Li Ke's ear and whispered.
"Gao Yang has always disliked schoolwork, and secretly he probably puts all the blame on you."
"..."
Li Ke was speechless and choked suddenly.
Is this what the legend says, being shot while lying down?
"How about...Ke'er, just compose one."
Beside Queen Changsun, Concubine Yang said hesitantly.
Li Ke looked up and saw a woman whose appearance was gradually fading and her temples were already a bit gray.
She was bowing slightly and looking at him with an extremely hopeful look.
As a Hu girl, her years in court have never been very comfortable.
It is said that Li Er is a good emperor, there is no doubt about this, but he has never been a good pillow person.
Unlike other noble concubines, Concubine Yang could contact officials in the DPRK and China to establish her own power.
He could only devote all his energy to Li Ke.
It is said that mother is more valuable than son. Li Ke's strong argument yesterday gave Concubine Yang a good time, so she also had some expectations for Li Ke today.
Seeing Concubine Yang's gaze, Li Ke felt a little shaken in his heart.
Perhaps, since I have become Li Ke, I should also be responsible for my identity and make my mother and concubine who really care about me happy.
So, Li Ke stepped forward and said calmly: "Since the Queen Mother wants to see it, then Ke will show his shame."
Li Ke smiled and came to a table.
"Sister, can you lend me your Four Treasures of the Study?"
"Jinyang, be good, come to the queen's side."
Queen Changsun above clapped her hands.
