Chapter 12
At noon, the banquet in the Guangtian Palace was over, and Changsun Wuji walked out of the palace from the Chongjiao Gate through the Jiade Palace. Changsun Wuji recalled what happened in the hall just now, but still felt in a fog.

"Looking at the frown of the eldest grandson, it seems that you have something on your mind?" Walking beside the eldest grandson Wuji, Prince Sheren Chu Liang looked at the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji and asked in puzzlement.

Today, Changsun Wuji's relatives and sisters were proclaimed queens, and his nephew was conferred the title of crown prince. He himself is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the civil service of all officials. This should be a time of prosperity, but suddenly he looks sad. Naturally, Chu Liang feel puzzled.

How did Chu Liang know what Changsun Wuji was worried about? He looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he asked, "What do Ximing (Chu Liang's characters) think of the King of Shu?"

Chu Liang and Changsun Wuji have always been on good terms, and now they are giving up for Li Chengqian's prince. Changsun Wuji naturally trusts him, so he tells him his worries.

Today's Li Ke is only an eight-year-old boy, and he has never even been out of Chang'an. How can he talk about being a man? Chu Liang didn't expect Changsun Wuji to ask such a question suddenly. He paused first, and then replied: "King of Shu Although he is young, but according to today's actions, he is considered young and intelligent, and he knows the etiquette and integrity. Given time, he may also be a virtuous king."

After hearing Chu Liang's words, Changsun Wuji not only did not relax, but became more worried.

Idle king?Is it really just the idle king?

Chu Liang is the prince's servant and a minister of the Eastern Palace. If he treats Li Ke like this, let alone someone else?Today's banquet played right, Li Ke has earned enough reputation in the court and the favor of all officials.

Changsun Wuji sighed: "Although the King of Shu is young, I can't see through him at all. Just now in the hall, I even think that the King of Shu is more difficult to deal with than the old Wang Shujie."

Changsun Wuji said that Wang Shujie was Prince Yin Li Jiancheng's confidant Wang Gui.

Wang Gui used to be the crown prince Zhongyun and Li Jiancheng's think tank, which caused headaches for the entire Tiance Mansion. If Wang Gui and Wude hadn't been affected by Yang Wengan's mutiny in the seventh year and were exiled to Xunzhou, whether the Xuanwumen incident would be successful or not is another matter.Therefore, Changsun Wuji compared Li Ke to Wang Yu, which was regarded as extremely important.

Chu Liang asked puzzledly: "At today's banquet, His Majesty asked the king of Shu to choose a teacher. The king of Shu did not choose a minister of the court with a rank above three, but chose a secretary who had no position and no power. This shows that the king of Shu has no ambitions." , the temperament can be regarded as dun Confucianism, I am afraid that the eldest grandson is too worried?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Chu Liang, with a trace of worry on his face, and sighed: "Although I have not negotiated much with the King of Shu, today I always feel that the King of Shu is not simple."

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Chu Liang laughed softly: "There is only an eight-year-old child around, no matter how scheming he is, I'm afraid it won't be to this extent."

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Chu Liang asked, "What does Master Changsun mean?"

Changsun Wuji replied, "Haven't Ximing heard of Wang Mang's art?"

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, but Wang Mang was courteous and modest.

Hearing the word Wang Mang, Chu Liang gasped. No matter what, Chu Liang couldn't associate the alert and calm young man in the Cai Temple with a treacherous person like Wang Mang.

Chu Liang said: "At the current age of the King of Shu, is the eldest grandson too worried?"

Listening to Chu Liang's words, Changsun Wuji felt a little uncertain in his heart.

Most of Changsun Wuji's guesses about Li Ke came from his own intuition. If Li Ke was an adult, Changsun Wuji would definitely believe in his guesses. But Li Ke is only eight years old, can he really have such a deep scheming?

"Li Ke's trip today did not exceed the rules, maybe I really thought too much?" Changsun Wuji was not a mean person at all, he asked himself in his heart.

Chu Liang walked beside Changsun Wuji, and saw that Changsun Wuji still had hesitation on his face, so he said: "Cen Wenwen is just a scholar, and his official position is low, so it is nothing to worry about. If Mr. Changsun is worried about the king of Shu, why don't you beat him?" King Shu. If he understands, he should restrain himself. If he doesn't understand, then you and I are worrying too much."

Changsun Wuji has always acted cautiously. Although he is the prince's uncle, he doesn't want to get too involved in the dispute between the prince and the prince, lest he arouse Li Shimin's dissatisfaction and lose his heart. It would be good to beat him up secretly.

Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, then said: "It's all right to beat him up, I'll send someone into the palace tomorrow."

What happened in Guangtian Temple soon spread to the officialdom.

In the south of Chang'an City, Chongyefang, Xuandu Temple.

Li Shimin named Cen Wenwen as the governor of Shu Wangfu, and the imperial decree to teach on behalf of him has been sent to Xuandu Temple where Cen Wenwen lives as a guest, and has been handed over to Cen Wenwen.

"Although the governor of Shu Palace is a senior official of the fourth rank, I'm afraid it's not easy to do it."

After the palace officials who announced the decree left, Cen Wenwen looked at the imperial decree in his hand, as if looking at a cup of hot tea, no matter how thirsty he was, he did not dare to drink it lightly.

He had a very good impression of Li Ke. Leaving aside the gossip, Li Ke was young and alert, with a calm and decent demeanor, which was extremely rare even among the clan's children, but Cen Wenwen's only embarrassment was Li Ke's identity.

Li Ke is the third son of the emperor, and his age is only a few months behind the eldest son Li Chengqian. Such a prince will naturally be involved in the struggle for the throne.

Moreover, Li Shimin is not yet in his thirties, he is in the prime of life, and the throne will not change for at least 20 years. When the princes grow up, the battle for fame and secrets between the throne will become more intense.

It would be fine if Li Ke was a mediocre talent without ambition, but judging by Li Ke's performance, Li Ke was not. With Li Ke's talent and temperament, even if Li Ke had no ambition, the people around the prince would not trust him.And from Cen Wenwen's point of view, I'm afraid Li Ke himself is not in charge of his duties.

If Cen Wenwen is Li Ke's teacher, he will be completely bound to Li Ke, and in the future he will be an enemy of the East Palace forces headed by the Changsun family. The danger is self-evident.

Beside Cen Wenwen, Yuan Tiangang looked at Cen Wenwen's hesitation, and said: "The imperial decree has been issued, and you are allowed to be the governor of the Shu Palace and teach the Shu King's lessons. Is it possible that you can still resist the decree?"

Cen Wenwen looked at Yuan Tiangang's relaxed look, and smiled wryly, "If I hadn't been invited here by you, how could I be in this situation."

Yuan Tiangang said: "The sign of Taiwei's change of master is by no means accidental. From my point of view, the King of Shu has a very noble appearance. There may be a chance to be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. Your Majesty worships you as the long history of the King of Shu, so why are you happy?" Why not?"

The matter of astrology is very mysterious, even Yuan Tiangang himself can't be sure, let alone Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen sighed: "It is easy to say that the change of master is too small, but the danger is beyond the reach of others. I am a foreign minister and have no foundation in the court. If I enter the Shu Palace this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to do so." Turning back."

Yuan Tiangang asked: "So, are you going to play the refusal?"

Cen Wenwen shook his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Let's not be in a hurry. I'll make a decision when I meet the King of Shu tomorrow. I can't just waste what I've learned in the secretary department."
