Changsun Wuji was also caught off guard by Li Ke's words, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
Everyone knows this truth, but it’s pointless to say it out loud. Who do you think will talk about these issues? ! The problem is that Changsun Wuji is really not easy to refute, because... the person sitting in the above position, Li Shimin, worked hard at the beginning and had a strong influence in the Tang army, and finally the Xuanwu Sect happened.
When Li Ke says this now, how do you ask Changsun Wuji to refute?
This, he also has a headache, this guy is not playing according to common sense!
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no tolerance for others, and His Majesty has no tolerance for others?" Changsun Wuji was a little confused for a moment. The material thrown away by this reckless man Li Ke It was so violent that his brain couldn't react, so he could only find an excuse.
"What are you doing with my eldest brother? I dare to say that I am not afraid of my eldest brother misunderstanding. Don't talk about my eldest brother's position as prince. Even if my father abdicates and gives me the throne, I don't want that throne." Li Ke's expression remained unchanged. He jumped up and opened his mouth, highlighting his courage when speaking.
Li Ke's words made everyone in the court break out in cold sweat... His Highness the King of Shu... doesn't want to live anymore? It's just that... everyone felt that it was impossible for His Majesty to punish His Royal Highness the King of Shu to death for just a few words.
Li Chengqian was also covered in cold sweat. He was originally a little uncomfortable with Li Ke pulling on him, but after the words he said, he instantly felt... OK, third brother, you can say whatever you want, and the eldest brother will never reply. You are still the best.
Changsun Wuji was also confused by Li Ke... What the hell... How do you ask him to answer this? Li Ke can say this because there is a father-son relationship, but he can't get involved in this. It's inappropriate for him to say it left or right, and there will be problems with everything he says.
As an old yin... no, as a far-sighted person, whatever Changsun Wuji says must be carefully considered by his own brain, but Li Ke's words cannot be accepted.
Fortunately, Li Shimin, who was sitting on it, couldn't bear it anymore.
"Li Ke!" Li Shimin roared angrily. If he didn't speak, he didn't know what this bastard would say. It would be a joke!
"My son is here. Father, please calm down. I am not quick to talk for a moment. Besides, what I say is also from the heart. I really don't know what you people are afraid of. Is there anything you can't say? For the sake of the country Choosing an heir is a normal thing. Can someone with a personality like mine be an emperor? Obviously not!"
"Even if you choose me to be me, I am not worthy of it. Only people like my eldest brother are serious candidates for the emperor, so I will just be a free prince. Dad, don't be angry. What's wrong with you in choosing a successor? Since ancient times, In all the dynasties since then, no one has chosen a successor." Li Ke said with a serious face.
Li Shimin: "..."
You are really a genius. You can say anything? !
Ministers: "..."
Don't, don't mention us, this is an issue for you and your son, we don't dare, oh, no! No other prince dared to say this, only you, His Highness the King of Shu! Only you can say it.
"Then let's not talk about this, right? Duke Qi, I know why you are targeting me. Isn't it because the request I made yesterday made you feel unhappy? Do you think I, Li Ke, underestimated your Changsun Mansion? Today, all the Dukes , all the ministers are here to bear witness, yesterday the Changsun Mansion asked my father to marry my sister Changle."
Li Ke continued directly without giving everyone a chance to react.
"Qi Guogong has always suspected that I bullied Changsun Chong. Everyone knows that I have always been opposed to Changsun Chong's proposal to marry my sister Changle. Yesterday they came again and I couldn't keep objecting, so I made a request. If the Changsun family can’t do it, both parties will terminate the engagement!”
"Let me tell you this request. Is it too much? My request is very simple. It is within one year. At this time next year, the betrothal gift offered by the Changsun Mansion to marry my sister cannot be greater than what I, Li Ke, gave to my sister. The dowry is low, and if their betrothal gift doesn’t even include me, Li Kegao, then the engagement will be terminated.”
"The dowry is given by me, Li Ke, and not by my father. Do you think this is too much?"
As Li Ke spoke, he bowed his hands to the ministers around him.
"It's not too much, Duke of Qi, your eldest son's house won't be able to get even this small amount of betrothal gift!" Cheng Yaojin and the others have always been at odds with eldest grandson Wuji. After hearing what Li Ke said, Cheng Yaojin immediately gloated. 's mouth said.
"That's right, eldest grandson Sikong, you won't even dare to agree to this, right?? It's right that your eldest grandson's house's betrothal gift can't compare with your majesty's dowry. If it can't even compare with a prince who has not yet reached the crown, it won't Are you so stingy?" Yu Chigong also said loudly.
"Who said that? I agreed to this! If the betrothal gift given by my Changsun Mansion is not even comparable to the dowry of His Highness the King of Shu, Your Majesty should terminate the engagement with us, otherwise I will not be able to propose to marry His Highness the Princess." Changsun Wuji's face turned dark and he spoke directly.
He had to accept this matter. After all, if he disagreed, it would be really embarrassing. A prince who had not yet opened a palace usually relied on the royal monthly regulations. Even if Li Shimin was rewarded, it would not be much.
Although the eldest son's family is not a big family, his eldest son Wuji can be said to be the number one minister of the Tang Dynasty. It would be really embarrassing if he couldn't get even this small amount of betrothal gift.
"Okay, the Duke of Qi is really happy! In this case, the real man has said what he said, and it is hard to chase him. I hope that the Duke of Qi will not break his promise." Li Ke just slapped his hands and finalized it. In fact, Li Shimin said this, and he also said He didn't have this identity, but wasn't Li Ke afraid of Li Shimin's hesitation?
Anyway, he said everything, so it doesn't matter.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on it, had a stiff expression on his face. Of course, he couldn't agree directly. He must have wanted to be humble and appease Changsun Wuji. However, this bastard killed him without waiting for him to speak. Now Li Shimin didn't either. Fa spoke casually.
If he continues to say that what Li Ke said is wrong, won't it mean that his daughter, Li Shimin, cannot get married? So he could only stare at Li Ke with his eyes! Let him get out of here quickly.
"Don't worry, my eldest grandson's family keeps their word. If the betrothal gift we give is not enough, we will naturally be embarrassed to ask to marry the princess." eldest grandson Wuji said with a sneer.
"In this case, I will retire. This is the court, and it is a place to discuss national affairs. How can we interfere with the proceedings of the court because of such a trivial matter." After Li Ke finished speaking, he walked directly to his seat. Sat down.
"Okay! The court meeting will continue. This matter has come to an end. Who has anything else to report next?" Li Shimin spoke directly.
Changsun Wuji could only bend down and resign at this moment. At this time, he suddenly realized that he was beaten by Li Ke again, and his impeachment just turned into a big deal and a trivial matter.
