Chapter 154

Li Ke is also a well-informed person. When the news of Li Chengqian's hearing of the three courts came out, Li Ke had already got the news within a short time.

The so-called hearing of lawsuits, although not in control of real power, has the responsibility of supervision, and the prince Li Chengqian supervises not the Six Departments, not the Nine Supervisors, but the Third Judicial Department that Li Ke has just posted.

However, Li Shimin did not completely ignore Li Ke's feelings. Li Shimin explained the truth to Li Ke in this way, but in order to take care of Li Ke, he still ordered to reward Li Ke with a thousand pieces of Shu brocade and a hundred taels of gold. The merit of protecting the people.

Li Shimin's meaning can no longer be more obvious. Li Kexing may have done something inappropriate, but the prince of the Tang Dynasty is not something that courtiers can criticize at will. In his opinion, his child did the right thing, not Wrong, and meritorious service, he will issue a decree to reward.

The people in the Sanfa Division felt that it was inappropriate for Li Ke to extend his hand too long, and they wrote a letter to impeach Li Ke, and Li Shimin would give them an explanation.He ordered the prince to listen to the three courts in a legitimate manner, while Li Ke has made great contributions in protecting the people and deserves to be rewarded.

Tian Khan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is also very domineering when he protects the calf.

But here, Li Ke in the Prince Chu's mansion did not feel lucky because of Li Shimin's favoritism, but was full of uneasiness instead.

Li Ke is very aware of Li Shimin's temperament. He himself ascended the throne by murdering his brothers and brothers. He naturally does not want the same thing to happen to his princes, so he will never want to see Li Ke have ambitions for the throne. .

"This time they are taking the bottom line. It is really tricky to directly use the hand of the father to express it to me." Li Ke sat in the front hall of the Chu Palace, looking at the Shu brocades piled up in the hall, with a rather ugly expression. .

In Li Ke's eyes, these Shu brocades were not rewards from the emperor. They were clearly a warning, admonishing Li Ke to abide by his duties and not to have any extravagant thoughts.

Cen Wenwen looked up at Li Ke, and asked Li Ke: "Your Highness is smart, and His Highness must know what His Majesty means."

Li Ke said: "That's right, although my father didn't punish me, the meaning behind his actions has been clearly revealed."

Cen Wenwen asked, "Then what does His Highness mean?"

Listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Li Ke naturally knew what Cen Wenwen meant. Cen Wenwen was worried that he was young and weak-minded, and was frightened by Li Shimin's imperial decree, so he wanted to quit.

So Li Ke said: "My father's meaning is only what my father means now. My father is in the prime of life, and the spring and autumn are in full swing. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future. Although my father's favorite is the emperor's brother, how can the throne be based on a moment?" You can decide what you like, but the road ahead is difficult, and the disciples have already made preparations to overcome obstacles."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Cen Wenwen finally showed a smile on his face.

Above the imperial court, temporary victory or defeat is nothing. What Cen Wenwen was worried about was never the short-term victory or defeat, otherwise he would not worship Li Ke as the main one. What he worried about was Li Ke's mentality, worried about Li Ke's After this incident, Li Shimin's attitude was frustrated, and he lost his previous vigor, but now it seems that Li Ke's ambition is still the same, and he has not wavered in the slightest, but he has worried too much.

Cen Wenwen said to Li Ke: "In Yichen's opinion, it doesn't matter whether His Highness has suffered a secret loss this time, or whether the crown prince is hearing the lawsuit from the three courts. The most important thing is His Majesty's attitude towards His Highness."

Li Ke said: "Sir, are you worried that my father will take precautions against me?"

Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty's throne originally came from Xuanwu Gate, so His Majesty never wants the princes to repeat the same mistakes, so he appointed a prince as soon as he ascended the throne, in order to prevent the princes from competing for the throne. What happened recently , Your Majesty has guessed about His Highness's ambitions, and in the long run, I'm afraid it will not be good for His Highness."

Li Ke nodded and said: "That's right, my father has scruples about me. If things go on like this, the whole Chu Palace will be bound by the left and right, and it will be difficult for me to move forward."

Cen Wenwen said: "The most urgent task right now is to dispel His Majesty's scruples about His Highness."

Now that the princes are young, if Li Ke is the first to jump out, there will be too much resistance, but if the princes grow up and everyone's ambitions are gradually revealed, then it will be Li Ke's opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

So Li Ke never wanted Li Shimin to take precautions against him prematurely.

Li Ke asked: "Do you have a good plan, sir?"

Cen Wenwen said: "There is a way, but His Highness will be wronged."

Li Ke said without hesitation: "As long as father's concerns can be dispelled, it's fine for me to suffer some flesh and blood."

Cen Wenwen said: "The pain of flesh and blood is unnecessary, but His Highness's reputation will suffer."

Chang'an City, Sikong Changsun Mansion.

It was summer, and the weather was hot. In Chang'an City, ordinary people didn't have to move too much, just sat and sweated hotly, not to mention the already fat eldest grandson Wuji.

However, although the weather was hot at this time, Changsun Wuji was in a very comfortable mood.

"Fame kills, Ximing's move is much better than Yan Xiangshi's, I admire, admire." Changsun Wuji listened to the news that Chu Liang brought out from the palace, and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Chu Liang said: "It's not only fame, but also a borrowed sword. Sanfasi's sword is sharper than what Chu thought."

Changsun Wuji said: "The saber of the Sanfa Division is sharper, and His Majesty's is even sharper. This matter must make Li Kezhuzi feel uncomfortable in the mansion."

Chu Liang said: "It's a pity that Your Majesty loves the King of Chu too much. Your Majesty was only vigilant against the King of Chu, and he didn't touch the King of Chu in the slightest. He failed to make meritorious deeds in one fell swoop."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "That's enough. Your Majesty has a gap in his heart with the King of Chu. As time goes by, the gap becomes bigger and bigger. Li Ke will naturally lose his favor. The prince lost his favor. There is no longer any threat, so we must not act too hastily when dealing with Li Ke."

Chu Liang cupped his hands and said: "What Sir Sikong said is very true."

Changsun Wuji looked at Chu Liang, and suddenly asked, "Lingzi has been in the position of living man for some time, right?"

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Chu Liang didn't know what Changsun Wuji meant, and immediately said excitedly: "Quizi has been the living man for four years since the first year of Zhenguan."

Changsun Wuji said: "Four years, the time is not short, you can move it, what does Ximing think?"

Chu Liang said: "My minister is willing to listen to Lord Sikong's orders."

Changsun Wuji said: "Yu Shinan in Hongwenguan is old, and his energy is not enough recently. Your majesty is benevolent. In order to divide his duties, he wants to add a servant in Hongwenguan to draft edicts. I heard that it was written by your son. Excellent, if you don't think serving books is an idle job, let him do it."

When Chu Suiliang was young, although his father Chu Liang was on duty in Hongwen Museum, he dealt with the sundries of Hongwen Museum, and everyone jokingly called him "the owner of the library".

Chu Suiliang had a lot of contacts with the great Confucianists at that time since he was a child, and he had a good literary talent. What's more, he practiced a good handwriting. Even Yu Shinan, a master of regular script at that time, was full of praise for him.It is appropriate for him to take up the post of secretary.

Although the rank of the servant is not high, but he attends Li Shimin's side every day, he can be called a confidant, there is no reason why Chu Liang is unwilling.

Chu Liang hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Sikong, Bole's kindness, I thank you on behalf of the dog."

Changsun Wuji was still in the mansion to reward Chu Liang's son for his achievements, but at this moment, Changsun Wuji's eldest son, eldest grandson Chong, suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Father, there is news from Chu Palace." Changsun Chong said to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji asked, "What's the matter?"

Chang Sun Chong said: "After His Majesty's reward arrived at the Chu Palace, the Chu King went out to Pingkang Square."
