Li Chengqian almost drank more than half of the promised Jie Feng wine, and Li Ke could only drink along with it, but some people became more and more drunk and talked nonsense.
"If only I were not the prince, there wouldn't be so many things!"
"Brother, I'm sorry for you as the elder brother. Can you forgive me? If you can't, just kill me. If I die, there won't be so many things!"
This drink was quite uncomfortable. In addition to not being able to get any clues, I also had to listen to Li Chengqian's wine talk. He hated the feeling of being controlled by others, but there was nothing he could do. Jie Feng Jiu was just an excuse for a hangover.
"Drink, drink..."
The drinking conversation never stopped, and even Li Ke, who was invited, found it very annoying. He had eaten a few large pieces of pancakes before drinking, so he didn't drink anymore. He was just helplessly entangled by an alcoholic, and now he is basically Can't break free either.
The Crown Princess personally led everyone to carry the drunkard Prince away. It was not comfortable here at all. Now it is better to go back as soon as possible to find a place to rest. But without Chen Shou's help, she had no idea which palace to rest in. If she accidentally broke into which concubine's Gongmen, Changsun Wuji had a reason to have a seizure, so he basically couldn't drink during this period and had to stay sober.
When others came to carry the sedan, another prince came and was also the nephew of the eldest grandson family. King Li Tai of Wei, who was known as the literati prince. He was tall and tall, not like a scholar, but more like a strong man riding a horse to fight. His eldest brother Li Chengqian is just the opposite. He is a perfect example of appearance and character.
"Second brother heard that he came from Qizhou. I didn't know that it was so late and he didn't go back to rest. The East Palace is not a place to stay."
The words sounded very uncomfortable, but they made sense. Li Ke was now a vassal king in another place, and there were many restrictions on his return after leaving the palace. Li Tai was just reminding him. Only when the light of the lantern shone on his face did he realize that it was A person who loves reading.
The eye sockets are very deep. Wearing glasses will only worsen my myopia. I don’t know why Li Shimin prefers this scholar son. Is it because he is easier to control?
"Third brother, I don't know anything. I'm lost. I can only wait for someone to take me back to rest. Qizhou is quite far away from Chang'an City. I really don't know what has changed in the palace. Can you tell me a little bit? .”
Speaking of taking the initiative to get closer, Li Ke just grabbed Li Tai and asked. Now he can only collect useful information like a detective.
"Is it possible that you are lost because you are walking too fast? Something unexpected may appear around the corner, or someone may be scaring you somewhere."
"Second brother, you always do things openly, so it is inevitable that you will offend people. Maybe it would be better to bow your head and admit your mistakes."
Li Tai understood everything and knew that there was something in what he just said, so he made suggestions for Li Ke's situation. Both parties were related to him by blood and did not want to see each other harm each other.
"But sometimes it's hard to guard against it. I don't have to give in. That's it. If you don't want to lead me away, I can only go around in circles. What I do is not to highlight my talents, but to warn those with bad intentions. I’m not someone who’s easy to bully.”
Turning around and staring into the darkness where the lantern could not shine, the old fox must have sent someone to monitor him. If Li Ke had not traveled through time, he would have been killed in his previous life. With too little experience and a arrogant person, it is indeed easy to be framed. The only way to avoid repeating the same mistakes is Tighten your temper a bit.
But that doesn't mean he has to give in. The battle with Changsun Wuji has just begun.
"Well, Chen Shou, did you raise a woman here? You actually left me as your master and disappeared for a whole day!"
Chen Shou appeared first in the sedan chair, but he looked too tired.
"Your Highness, don't make fun of your slaves. You are just walking around. This time you are urgently ordered to enter the capital. Things are unusual!"
Chen Shou also noticed this this time, so he went to some contacts in Li Ke's previous life to help him, but he was met with disappointment. Maybe he refused to help because he was afraid of bringing trouble to himself.
The sedan appears repeatedly between light and darkness, which is very similar to a person's life. Only after dawn can he walk the rest of the way safely. Some people may not be able to walk out in their lifetime.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, was still patrolling the country, and then he arrived in Henan, which was still far away from Chang'an City. On the way, he was still appeasing the people and strictly inspecting the officials. People around him reminded him from time to time to go back to the palace to deal with important matters this morning.
"Of course I know what you want to imply. No matter whether they are in public or private, their brothers must give an explanation to the world. It cannot be calmed down by my edict and let them stand up and behave better."
"Okay, just do what the mother of the country should do, and stop causing trouble for yourself!"
Li Shimin coaxed Empress Changsun to go give alms. There were too many people in the Buddhist temple, and they had heard that the emperor was inspecting the world, and they had already surrounded the place.
However, he turned around and went to find Fang Xuanling. Political matters were not discussed with women, only with professionals. The two sons were likely to go to court. In addition to hurting the brotherhood, he was also afraid that someone would interfere with it.
"Your Majesty, now that the King of Shu has arrived at the court, Yuchi Gong has made full preparations and will only wait five days for the results. I have just found out something. Don't you know what to say?"
Fang Xuanling was very good at guessing Li Shimin's thoughts. Everything he did was done with the permission of the emperor. Now that the King of Shu was urgently ordered to come to Beijing, there was a lot of commotion on Changsun Wuji's side, and their relationship quickly evolved. A fight.
"Why does it take so long?"
Li Shimin sensed something strange. Li Ke had already arrived in the imperial city and was still delaying the interrogation. He was afraid that his uncle would do something else. Just the fact that he was currently suing the King of Shu for his excessive levies and extortion made it very difficult for him.
"My people have heard about it and asked merchants from Qizhou and people from the four major families to come to the capital. I'm afraid it will be used to interrogate the king of Shu. It may be unfair at that time. How about..."
After a deliberate pause, Fang Xuanling carefully observed the emperor's words and deeds. He could not make the decision at all.
Li Shimin clenched his fists. This scene seemed familiar. It also happened between brothers. Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the conflicts between him, his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and his third brother Li Yuanji were accumulated and instigated. Finally, It caused a catastrophe, so he vowed to become the Mingjun Holy Master, but now it's not good at all.
"Inform Wei Zheng for me and let him know everything clearly. I will still patrol Henan!"
After receiving these words, Fang Xuanling released the homing pigeon and went straight to Wei Zheng's house.
Wei Zheng was an old minister of the former crown prince Li Jiancheng, and now he also had some status in the court. Unlike the ministers of the original Tiance Mansion, he always enforced the law impartially, and was only too strict with the emperor Li Shimin, so he couldn't get along with Changsun Wuji and others. , now it is the person Li Ke wants to win over.
At this time, Li Ke was outside Wei Zheng's official residence.
