"Just a vassal?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai without speaking, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
Was he being attacked by the King of Shu, or was he envious of the King of Shu?
"You are young……"
"Father, my son is not young. He is fifteen this year, just a few months younger than the third brother." Li Tai immediately bowed and interrupted Li Shimin.
Then, he raised his head and said seriously: "Father, my third brother has already married and established a career. Now he has gone to serve the country and be loyal and filial. He has done everything in his life."
"My son has accomplished nothing..."
Li Shimin finally understood that this boy wanted to develop in the fiefdom. In Chang'an City, with the prince and the already full-fledged King of Shu, it would be difficult for him to develop in the cracks.
If in normal times, Li Tai wanted to join the feudal clan, although he and the queen would be a little reluctant to give up, they would agree. After all, what's the point of living in the palace all the time when their son is older?
But what time is it now? The queen is about to give birth, the emperor is not in good health, and he wants to play a big game.
Li Tai's fiefdom is in Jiangdong Wu, and he oversees six coastal states. In this big game, Jiangdong Wu and the entire Jiangnan area are Li Shimin's rear area, and they must be foolproof.
Li Tai has been staying in the palace, unaware of the dangers outside. If someone takes advantage of him, Li Shimin will be very passive...
"Hahaha……"
"Qingque, you have fallen in love with that girl. I will marry you. This is a happy event. As the old saying goes, you must first start a family and then start a career..." Li Shimin suddenly laughed and asked.
Li Tai: "..."
Li Tai is feeling tired. He has said so much. Father, are you pretending to be confused?
Li Tai was still unhurried and said with cupped hands: "Father, marriage is a major event in life. Parents do not dare to make the decision without permission."
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Tai's answer and couldn't help but smile and nod.
"However, I think that when you meet a good person, you first get married, and when you meet a noble person, you first start a career. Now that I have not met a good person, my father is the most noble person in the world, so I want to start a career first."
A red lightning flashed proudly in Li Tai's eyes.
Li Shimin: "???"
Li Shimin really had nothing to say. This traitor kept saying that he would flatter him severely. This was a sign that he was determined to join the feudal clan.
Does he have to refuse mercilessly and decisively?
Sooner or later I will be pissed to death by these traitors.
"Ahem, my dears, what do you think?" Li Shimin coughed and looked at Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were bowing their heads in silence.
Damn it...
The two of them were suddenly shocked, and they quickly cursed "f*ck". They were eating the melon well, but they didn't expect it to happen to them.
What do they say? The prince is the vassal. They have the right to make suggestions, but His Majesty has just made it very clear that Jiangdong is the rear area of this plan. No one else can get involved, not even the King of Yue. It must be the local area. The leader has the final say. biquge.biz
Your Majesty wants them to persuade the King of Yue to give up and become a vassal!
They are sure to be the bad guy today.
But how to face the King of Yue in the future, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Especially Changsun Wuji knew better that this boy was a wolf in sheep's clothing, even more hateful than that Li Ke.
Li Ke does things openly and honestly, but this kid likes to hide in the dark and do evil things.
Changsun Wuji took the lead and said with seriousness and sincerity: "Mr. "
Fang Xuanling: "..."
Fang Xuanling cursed the old bastard in her heart, but she was not idle at all: "Mr. Zhao, the royal family's selfless matter is a bit too much. You are the uncle of the King of Yue, so you should talk about it first!"
Li Shimin also secretly scolded the two old foxes for not being responsible at all.
If only Lao Wei were here, he would start spraying right away, no matter who you are!
It's a pity that Wei Zheng cannot be informed about this matter.
"Auxiliary engine, I want to hear your opinion."
Changsun Wuji wailed in his heart, why can't His Majesty always let him go?
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to step forward, looked at Li Tai, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, King Yue, you are still young..."
"Uncle, I am not young anymore. My father married my mother when he was fourteen. He rode a war horse at the age of fifteen and followed Aweng to guard Yanmen Pass. He was fighting on the battlefield at the age of sixteen..." Li Tai started immediately. Take Li Shimin as an example.
Good guy, Changsun Wuji was so reviled that he was speechless.
"Your Highness, your mother is about to give birth. You must be a filial child!"
"As for the feudal issue, can we wait until your mother has passed her confinement?"
Li Tai stopped talking. Looking at his father's appearance today, he didn't want him to become a vassal at all.
If he says something treacherous now, Fan Geng will be gone.
But at this moment, his uncle Changsun Wuji gave him a chance to become a vassal, but he only had to wait a few months. He could still afford to wait a few months.
And he couldn't let others see that his purpose in joining the vassal was to develop his own power in the fiefdom.
So he immediately borrowed the donkey from Poxia and bowed and said: "Father, my son has not thought it through properly. Then I will wait until my mother recovers after giving birth, and then I will go to the fiefdom to share my father's worries and solve his problems, and dedicate my life to the Tang Dynasty." The power of Weibo.”
"So good!"
"Qingque, come and have dinner with me tonight..."
Li Tai bowed calmly and said, "Yes, Father."
In fact, he was very excited at the moment. After his mother gave birth to a younger brother or younger sister, he could go and join the feudal clan.
After Li Tai left, Li Shimin glared at the two ministers, making Fang Xuanling extremely embarrassed.
"As your right servant, you must be responsible in the future."
Li Shimin said something incomprehensible, turned around and left.
Fang Xuanling sighed. Today he went too far in cheating and cheating. It seemed that His Majesty was very dissatisfied with him.
In fact, Changsun Wuji was very satisfied with the result. He supported the prince, especially since the prince had no bad intentions. Even if he was in power, he would listen to his advice, but Qingque would not. He had his own concerns.
Therefore, it is the best choice for the king of Yue to become a vassal.
"Old Fang, I don't want to back down from now on. You are Zuopushe."
"Haha, Mr. Zhao is right!"
In fact, Fang Xuanling felt miserable. It was not good to offend anyone. He would rather offend His Majesty than Li Tai.
If he offended His Majesty, the most serious thing would be that he didn't take responsibility for his few words, but if he offended Li Tai, he wouldn't have to wear these shoes in the future.
Among the sons your Majesty has given birth to, the prince is the only one who has something to say to the public. He is like the "Living King of Hell" being attacked from both sides by the dark side and the bright side. And this King of Yue is just a smiling tiger who stabs you in the back.
I wonder what kind of trouble the living King of Hell will cause when he goes to Longxi. He might even have to wipe his butt as a servant.
…
Three days later.
Li Ke and his party traveled day and night, sleeping in the open air, and finally passed Longshan at dusk and entered Qinzhou (Tianshui) in Longxi.
Longxi generally refers to the geographical location in ancient times. It is customary to call the area west of Longshan Longxi. In fact, it is most of the area in Gansu today.
The Li family in Longxi mainly lived in Didao County, Longxi County (today's Longxi County). Later, they moved eastward and added another county, Chengji County (Qin'an County) in Longxi. However, Didao County was still the main county. Some of the descendants of the main family live in Didao County.
"Your Highness, Qinzhou City is just ahead of us. After passing Qinzhou City, we can reach Jicheng County in the northwest. If we go quickly, we can reach Didao County in five or six hours. If we go west, we can reach Didao County in two days."
Li Ke was also worshiped as the military commander of the four states of Qin Cheng, Weiwu, and the governor of Qinzhou, but he did not take up the post at that time.
He knew something about Qinzhou, so he asked, "Who is the governor of Qinzhou?"
Fu An said: "The Cui family in Qinghe is called Cui Shanwei."
"Then we will stay in Qinzhou tonight and continue our journey tomorrow, directly to Didao County."
