"You are so rude. This is the King of Shu in our court. How dare Wei Zheng be so disrespectful to our prince? Believe it or not, he actually participated in the performance of your Lord Wei in the court hall!"
Chen Shou slapped the solid wooden door and shouted, Wei Zheng's official residence just didn't want anyone to come to receive the two of them. They originally lowered themselves and wanted to come for help, but as soon as they arrived, they were met with a cold face.
Li Ke also guessed Wei Zheng's thoughts, maybe he was unwilling to intervene in the interrogation, because everything seemed very reasonable, and the vassal king had to explain the overcharged taxes. Even Li Shimin did not dare to do anything after being criticized. , this person is indeed a tough guy.
But now I really can’t find anyone else to help. The interrogation is not the decision of Changsun Wuji alone. Especially if you want to interrogate the prince, at least four important ministers are needed. The people confirmed so far are Prince Li Chengqian and Old Fox. With Yuchi Gong, Wei Zheng can go or not.
Li Ke does not ask Wei Zheng to fully support him, but at least he can say some fair words. It seems that there is no chance.
If there is one more vacancy in the interrogation, and there are more people from the prime minister in the court, Li Chengqian seems to have no idea. If there is a one-sided situation, regardless of whether Li Ke can escape unscathed, he is likely to die on the spot, or be imprisoned directly. Changsun Wuji is afraid of anyone who is stronger than the blood of his eldest grandson's family.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi were all born to Empress Changsun. In addition to the achievements that the Changsun family made in establishing the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is that the crown prince is a person of their family's blood. As the saying goes, 'one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven', and this is It would be great if the powerful Tang Dynasty could continue to occupy the real power of the imperial court.
Li Ke originally thought that it would be more comfortable to become a prince in Qizhou, but he didn't expect that because of his nosy, he started to rectify Qizhou and promote local development. Instead, he was regarded by the old fox as a potential threat. If he had known that he was really there It would be better for Qizhou to be a dandy, and he could even have better relations with the four major families.
Is it true that only the treacherous can survive in this world? Later generations were not very happy because they were too involved. I didn’t expect that those who were too good in the Tang Dynasty would be targeted, and this attack was very cruel from the beginning. The punch was very strong, which was a bit too much. .
"Chen Shou, wait no more, let's go shopping around. It doesn't matter whether we die or not, it's better to be happy!"
Since life or death is uncertain, it is better to indulge this once. Chang'an City is an international metropolis. Li Ke's life was really frustrating before, but now he is doing well. He took one last look at the closed door of the official residence and went there without looking back. Went to Dongshi.
Although the foreigners coming and going in Chang'an at this time were mainly from the Middle East, this is why the Tang Dynasty was considered a great dynasty for thousands of years and was indeed tolerant in the true sense. Not so anymore.
The things that Chang'an City sells to foreigners are silk, porcelain and other things. Li Ke had also thought about doing this kind of business in Qizhou's market before, but he was busy regulating the local customs. Now he also found that Qizhou Licheng has no location advantage.
The city of Chang'an can be so prosperous. In addition to being the capital of the country, it is also close to the famous Silk Road. Most of the people traveling to and from the capital are tribes on this trade route. Nowadays, the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty has made trade more prosperous. Unfortunately, it has been very long in later generations. It is difficult to do this because the waters of international trade are too deep.
Chang'an City is so prosperous that people don't know how to travel well. Everyone is looking for every place where they can do business on the streets. Compared with the cold imperial city, this place is more humane.
After eating and drinking all the way, they came to the brothels that are full of the Western Regions. Although it was said that they were prostitutes rather than prostitutes, it was just a cover. Li Ke took Chen Shou inside, and the master and servant visited the brothels together during the day.
Fortunately, the women in the Western Regions can all speak Chinese. When they heard that a wealthy young man asked for his waist, they half-pushed and half-pushed down to show it to him.
"My lord, these are all vulgar fans, do you need to look at them so carefully?"
Chen Shou thought they were having fun. After all, he had never been to these places and couldn't stand these blond and brown-haired women with good figures and really good-looking waists.
Li Ke ignored it and recalled the red snake tattoo he saw on Yasha that day. The Western Region is so big, someone must have heard of this kind of thing. Until now, he still doesn’t know why Yasha appeared in Qizhou. .
It seems possible to kill himself. Maybe there are other tasks. He can only know some things through conversation.
"Assassin?!"
This name is very familiar. This famous killer organization in the Western Region can actually take orders remotely. The red snake tattoo is a symbol, so we can only start with the mysterious organization Assassin.
Li Ke thought for a while, and it seemed that there was really no conflict with Assassin. Even if he was too unruly in his previous life, he would not be hunted down by foreigners. Moreover, the cost of this killer organization was very high, and the king of Shu was very expensive.
It took me so long to get some clues, so I had no choice but to go home.
Wei Zheng himself stayed at home and stayed at home. Knowing about the interrogation, he only agreed with the rules and regulations. There would not be too many private goods in it, and the behavior of the King of Shu was also very suspicious. Until Fei Ge from Henan sent a letter, Now I have to step forward.
Fang Xuanling wrote this letter on behalf of the emperor, mainly to ask Wei Zheng to attend the interrogation. He did not need to stand up for Li Ke, as long as he presented the report truthfully. The emperor was still patrolling outside, and it seemed that he could not refuse it now.
"Where is the King of Shu now? Let me meet him and see. If he really has some benevolence and morality, maybe there are some misunderstandings."
Before Wei Zheng went out, he met his subordinates who came to inquire about the news. In the morning, he deliberately refused to let the King of Shu enter the mansion in order not to bend the law for personal gain, and he knew very little about Li Ke.
"Sir, the King of Shu is currently in a brothel, talking and laughing with a group of women from the Western Regions. Maybe..."
Impression points were deducted this time. Wei Zheng thought that the person who could rectify Qizhou would be an upright person, but he was just pretending. Now there seems to be no reason to help the King of Shu.
When the emperor Li Shimin even played with birds, he was said to be "losing one's ambition with playthings." Now the king of Shu is too generous in the brothel in Chang'an City, and is not afraid of things getting in trouble for him.
Wei Zheng stamped his feet but got on the sedan and headed towards Dongshi where the brothel was located. He wanted to give an explanation to the emperor, so Li Ke's fate was manipulated.
Crazy brothel is not a shady thing, but I am afraid that the princes will be too addicted. There are already some people in the palace who are too addicted to women. This unhealthy atmosphere may need to be rectified.
