Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 482 Secret Discussion

Li Ke rode out of the palace on a white-hoofed crow, shocking countless people.

This news might not cause much shock in Chang'an City, but to the civil and military officials, the shock was really not small.

But all the officials who heard it were stunned in shock. What is the deep meaning behind His Majesty's move?

The white-hoofed crow has always been His Majesty's favorite BMW, how could it be given to Li Ke?

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian quietly listened to the guard's report, his expression became very ugly.

His hands that were hidden in his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Clap!

Li Chengqian got up suddenly, and swept all the objects on the table to the ground!

All the exquisite Bixi inkstone paperweights fell to the ground, and the guards and eunuchs beside them felt distressed.

"Why did the father give the white-hoofed crow to King Wu? Why!" Li Chengqian asked.

However, no one answered, and no one dared to answer.

Li Chengqian's chest heaved violently, and his face was particularly ugly.

He has always been on guard against King Wei, his dear brother from the same mother, and he has always felt that only King Wei can threaten his heir apparent.

In fact, it was true. He and King Wei were the two most beloved sons of the father, and they were the two of the most generous rewards at any time.

And he also knew that King Wei had been eyeing the reserve position all the time, and the two had been competing in secret. As for the other princes, he didn't pay attention to them at all.

Because he is the eldest son of the emperor, his status is extraordinary, because his mother is a queen, and he is very affectionate with his father.

So, how could the other princes be regarded by him?

However, what he never expected was that the king of Wu, Li Ke, unexpectedly appeared halfway!

He was very resentful, and it was fine for King Wei to fight with him. After all, he was born of a single mother and had a noble status. What kind of thing are you, King Wu Li Ke?

Is it because your mother and concubine are former Sui princesses?

The former Sui Dynasty had already entered the soil!If it sounds good, it's called a princess, but if it doesn't sound good, don't you just call it a prisoner?

If it wasn't for appeasing the old ministers of the former Sui Dynasty, the father would not accept the former princess of the Sui Dynasty as his concubine!

Li Chengqian took two steps anxiously, and shouted: "Go, call them all to me!"

The little lady listened and went in a hurry. Although His Highness didn't say who to look for, they knew it in their hearts.

Chang Sun Chong, Du He, He Lan Chushi and others all rushed to the East Palace.

"Have you heard? Your Majesty rewarded King Wu with the white-hoofed crow! King Wu rode a white-hoofed crow and left the palace grandly!" Li Chengqian said in a deep voice with an ugly expression.

"White-hoofed crow, has accompanied His Majesty on battles and has always been loved by His Majesty. Although His Majesty has six steeds, the other horses are old. Only the White-hoofed Crow and Qing Zou are still in their prime. Now His Majesty is taking the White-hoofed Crow It was given to King Wu, why is that?"

Helan Chushi cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient. I feel that a horse doesn't mean anything. Even if it is His Majesty's favorite horse, His Highness is the eldest prince, and he is the crown prince. His status is unshakable!"

However, Li Chengqian's expression didn't look much better after hearing this, and he turned around and asked, "Du He, what do you think?"

Du He pondered and said: "This matter is really strange. The King of Wu has never shown the mountains and the water, and there was no sign of the grace of the holy family before, but His Majesty suddenly rewarded the King of Wu with the white-hoofed crow. This is really puzzling!"

Chang Sun Chong laughed and said, "I think His Highness is thinking too much. The King of Wu should go to the horse race, so His Majesty rewarded him with the white-hoofed crow just so that he would not hurt the face of the royal family."

Helan Chushi pondered and said: "If it's for a horse race, doesn't it mean that His Majesty wants King Wu to show off in the horse race? After all, this is not a simple horse race. Even His Majesty will go to watch it in person, let alone how many courts there will be." The ministers went to watch, King Wu rode His Majesty's white-hoofed crow, making a big splash in the horse race, this..."

While talking, Helan Chushi didn't say any more, and frowned deeply.

Li Chengqian's face became even uglier, riding a white-hoofed crow to show off in front of all the officials, shouldn't this be what a prince should do?

Changsun Chong couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this. In fact, he has not been deeply involved in the competition between the crown prince and the king of Wei all this time, because no matter which of them becomes emperor in the future, it will be the same for the Changsun family.

But if Wu Wang Li Ke becomes the emperor in the future, it will be very different for their eldest grandson's family, and this kind of thing is definitely not what their eldest grandson's family wants to see.

Chang Sun Chong pondered seriously: "Your Highness, there is no need to panic. Even if His Majesty values ​​King Wu for some reason, King Wu will not surpass His Highness. Even if King Wu can pass His Majesty's test, he can pass the Queen's empress's test." ?"

In fact, Changsun Chong still didn't say a word, can King Wu pass the test of their Changsun's family?Can you pass the level of the Guanlong family?

After hearing this, Li Chengqian calmed down a lot. Yes, if he was fighting with King Wei, it would be difficult for his mother to intervene if the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh.

But if Wu Wang Li Ke coveted the position of prince, how could the queen mother stand by and watch?

Even if he has no confidence in himself, he should have confidence in his mother. How could Wu Wang Li Ke pass the test of his mother?

In the dispute between His Majesty and Crown Prince Yin back then, the Queen Mother was able to mediate in the palace, which greatly reduced the pressure on Your Majesty. Now these can only be regarded as small scenes for the Queen Mother.

Du He groaned after hearing this: "I'm afraid this is His Majesty taking the opportunity to beat His Highness!"

Li Chengqian's face changed again when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that Du He's inference was more reasonable, because Wu Wang Li Ke had no sign of the Holy Family Enlong before.

Chang Sun Chong couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and he had to admit that what Du He said was reasonable, but his heart had already calmed down.

If His Majesty just takes the opportunity to beat His Highness the Crown Prince, then it will be fine. Even if the Crown Prince is abolished, then the king of Wei must be in charge. It doesn’t matter if they are cousins ​​anyway.

It's shameless to think so, but it's true.

Li Chengqian pondered with an ugly face: "But why did the emperor beat me? I have followed the rules these days and have never done anything out of the ordinary!"

Helan Chushi pondered: "Yes, when Su Cheng got married, His Majesty was very happy and even praised His Highness. What major events have happened recently?"

Du He pondered and said: "The biggest thing that happened recently is the imperial court's dispatch of troops to Gaochang Kingdom, but this matter has nothing to do with His Highness?"

Li Chengqian thought about it, and suddenly his expression changed: "Could it be because of Su Cheng?"

Du He asked in surprise: "Su Cheng? What's wrong with Su Cheng? Has King Wu had any contact with Su Cheng recently?"

Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "Impossible, Su Cheng has been staying in Sujiazhuang recently!"

While talking, Chang Sun Chong still felt a dull pain in his heart. Why did Su Cheng stay in Sujiazhuang and didn't come out?
