Not only Yang Anning, but also several sentimental women began to cry in low voices.
"You guys should have a good rest today and think about what I said. If you don't want to continue the show, it doesn't matter. His Highness will arrange for you to do some behind-the-scenes work. You will still be released into good households after one year." Li Ke said calmly. He nodded.
"His Royal Highness is true to his word. Okay, that's it. You guys have a rest today. I'm back. Shopkeeper Liu, come out with me and arrange for someone to remove the plaque from Huiyue Tower." Li Ke turned around and walked outside. go.
"yes!"
After coming out of Huiyue Tower, shopkeeper Liu had arranged for the handymen to start taking off all the plaques on it.
"Send someone here to keep an eye on me today. If any guests come, tell Huiyue Building to be permanently closed and no longer open for business. If there is any problem, ask them to come to me. You stay here." Li Ke said to the man waiting outside the door One of the guards said.
"Yes!" the guard immediately bowed and clasped his fists.
"I'm back." After the explanation, Li Ke turned around and left.
Looking at Li Ke's leaving figure and the guards who stayed behind, Shopkeeper Liu was filled with emotion. She had never seen anyone like Li Ke in the entire Tang Dynasty. Putting aside the character of His Highness the King of Shu, everyone in Chang'an City knew him.
But there are very few people like His Highness the King of Shu who are willing to stand up for a group of geishas without seeking anything.
If nothing else, based on today's behavior, if His Highness the King of Shu stayed, Yang Anning and the others would be willing to sleep with him, but His Highness the King of Shu did not.
It is widely rumored that His Highness the King of Shu does not like women, but likes Long Yang Zhi, but Shopkeeper Liu knows that this is not the case. Several times His Highness the King of Shu looked at Yang Anning and the others, just like a man looking at a woman. Shopkeeper Liu took it for granted. She has been the shopkeeper of Huiyue Tower for many years, and she was also a brothel singer when she was young. How can we not be able to tell the difference?
Having desires but being able to control his desires, His Highness the King of Shu is stronger than all the princes rumored to be!
…
In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin, who had finished handling state affairs for the day, had just rubbed his forehead and was about to go back to rest, when the guards outside announced that he had something to report.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin frowned and asked as he looked at the guards who came in.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu got into another fight with someone in Huiyue Tower!" The guard immediately reported in a low voice.
"Oh, that's it? With whom?" Li Shimin didn't have any trouble. He has heard too much for so many years, and you would be numb. If he didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't be Li Ke.
"Follow His Highness King Lu," the guard replied.
"What?! This bastard! Did you rebel against him?!" Li Shimin was instantly angry! He slapped the table and stood up. It's okay for Li Ke to fight, whether it's with Changsun Chong or with his brothers, it's all between equals.
But King Lu is his uncle! Dear uncle! Beating your uncle is unreasonable! Can Li Shimin not be angry? !
However, Li Shimin was not actually angry because King Lu was beaten. He actually didn't have much affection for those brothers. What's more, these were all born after Li Yuan became emperor, so he had no affection at all. At that time, Li Shimin was still abroad. Fighting everywhere, I basically met these brothers once or twice.
Then came the Xuanwu Gate Incident. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, these brothers were even more afraid of Li Shimin and met less often.
What Li Shimin was angry about was that he was afraid that Li Ke would be accused of being unfilial. In ancient times, being unfilial was a very serious crime. At least it gave those ministers several more names to attack Li Ke.
"What's the situation? Tell me in detail." Li Shimin said quickly.
"Yes!" The guard quickly reported to Li Shimin what happened next.
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard that Li Ke got himself "drunk" first and then fought with Li Yuanchang. This... what on earth was this bastard thinking in his head? Why was his thinking different from that of a normal person?
For a moment, Li Shimin's face was a little distorted, part of him was angry, and part of him wanted to laugh because of Li Ke's coquettish operation.
"Okay, let's go down." After the guards left, Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry, "Chang Lin, tell me what the hell is this bastard thinking."
When Chang Lin heard Li Ke's behavior just now, he looked shocked and almost laughed. After all, normal people couldn't do this.
"This...His Royal Highness the King of Shu's behavior is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Chang Lin thought for a while before holding back these words.
"You can say that he is not sensible. He also knows that fighting with his uncle is not a good reputation, and he also knows how to get himself drunk and act out while drunk. You can say that he is sensible. He has to do things that he knows he cannot do. "Li Shimin was a little helpless.
"Your Highness, perhaps this is also an alternative consideration of His Highness the King of Shu. After all, people like His Highness King Lu want to cause trouble for him a lot. With this conflict, I am afraid that other princes will have to think twice when facing His Highness the King of Shu in the future. Fan, after all... there is currently no prince who can beat His Highness the King of Shu. This conflict with His Highness the King of Shu, and being beaten inexplicably, all princes have to think about it." Chang Lin thought for a while, and then said .
"He can think of this?" Li Shimin was a little stunned.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are a fan of the authorities. Everything that His Highness the King of Shu has done in the past few years is traceable to me. At least you don't think that you dare to provoke His Highness the King of Shu in the past few years. Are there fewer people? Even if Sun Sikong, the Duke of Qi, had a conflict with His Highness the King of Shu in private, he would give in most of the time." Chang Lin said.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked back at Chang Lin. This was a surprising comment.
After carefully recalling what Chang Lin said, Li Shimin felt that what he said was true. After a pause, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing; "This is really... this guy is right, he didn't read the military book in vain. "
"Then how do you think I should respond to this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I don't think you will respond. If His Highness King Lu doesn't impeach you, you can just pretend not to know about it." Chang Lin quickly bent down and said.
Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, then I will wait and see what happens. Okay, let's rest today."
Seeing that Li Shimin's anger had dissipated, Chang Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. He murmured in his heart, Your Highness the King of Shu, Wei Chen has tried his best to say good things to you, but you must not cause trouble. It’s not easy to praise you with all your heart. Fortunately, Your Majesty believed it. I praised you so much that I didn’t even believe it.
If Li Ke hadn't always communicated with him casually and normally, and didn't look at him with abnormal eyes, but treated him as an equal from the heart, Chang Lin wouldn't have tried hard to find a way to excuse Li Ke.
Following Li Shimin for so many years, Chang Lin has met too many officials and princes of all kinds. Almost everyone respects him, but that is all because of His Majesty. In fact, they still look down on him as an eunuch. Eggy.
Only His Highness the King of Shu communicated with him, and he was never deliberately respectful, and his conversations were no different from ordinary people. This seemed to be the most ordinary thing, but it was indeed the most extravagant thing for Chang Lin.
