Chapter 157 Entering the palace to clear up doubts
Li Ke had just entered the palace, and the king of Chu, Li Ke, was having fun in a brothel in Pingkangfang, and the rumor that he spent a lot of money became very popular.

There are even rumors that Li Ke, the king of Chu, fell in love with a beautiful brothel, stayed overnight in Pingkang Square, and never returned home all day long. It was not until the emperor's imperial edict came that Li Ke, the king of Chu, met the beauty and cried. Resigned, and entered the palace reluctantly.

As the saying goes: "Young spring shirts are thin, riding a horse leaning on a leaning bridge, full of red sleeves."

It is not a crime for the prince to be romantic.

What's more, there have been stories about talents and beauties since ancient times, and people are tired of listening to them. The stories of princes and beauties are much newer. The news of Li Ke's wandering in brothels and lifangs spread throughout the entire Chang'an city in the shortest possible time.

Li Ke was a diplomatic mission to Turks, and he was kind to the people of Chang'an. Li Ke has always been the darling of Chang'an City. The news about Li Ke became very popular, but within half a day, it became a good topic of conversation among the people of Chang'an after dinner.

But now Li Ke doesn't have the energy to take care of these. What he's thinking about now is to clear up the doubts in Li Shimin's heart.

"My son, Li Ke, pay homage to Father and Mother." After noon, Li Ke went straight to the inner hall of Zhaoqing Hall, and knelt down to worship Li Shimin and Concubine Yang who were sitting in the hall.

Seeing her beloved son worshiping in front of her, Concubine Yang wanted Li Ke to get up because she was afraid that Li Ke would be tired after worshiping for a long time.

Li Shimin also knew what Concubine Yang meant, but Li Shimin snorted softly, and said to Concubine Yang: "Ruyi don't need to feel sorry for him, and let him kneel down, so as to improve his memory."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Concubine Yang knew that Li Shimin must be angry with Li Ke, but the rumors of Li Ke's prostitution had spread outside the palace, but had not yet spread to the deep palace. Asked: "But why did Tiger Head annoy His Majesty, His Majesty is so angry?"

Li Shimin pointed at Li Ke, and said to Concubine Yang, "Ask him yourself."

Concubine Yang looked down at Li Ke upon hearing this, and Li Ke also looked up at Concubine Yang, but she blushed and did not speak.

Concubine Yang looked at Li Ke's appearance, thinking that Li Ke had committed some serious crime, and she dared not speak up, so she hurriedly pleaded with Li Shimin: "Ke'er is young, and I may be out of proportion in doing things for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

After listening to Concubine Yang's words, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's appearance again, patted his legs, and said to Li Ke: "You still know how to be embarrassed, how come you are not embarrassed when you are in the brothel?"

Concubine Yang was surprised when she heard that Li Ke went to the brothel as a prostitute. She looked at Li Ke and said in surprise, "You are so brave at such a young age, how dare you go to those places."

Hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly explained: "I didn't arrest a prostitute, but I just heard that the girl from Pingkangfang sang well, so I went to listen to the song, nothing else."

What kind of place is Pingkangfang, where you just listen to the music when you go there?

Li Shimin couldn't believe Li Ke's words, and said to Li Ke: "If you just want to listen to the music, you can go to the Jiaofang Division. There are many people who can sing the music well there, so you have to go to those dirty places." ?"

Li Ke replied: "Ke'er has listened to the music of the Jiaofang Division in the palace a lot, and I'm a little tired, so I want to listen to it for a different taste."

Li Shimin said: "That's true. Jiaofangsi's tunes are dignified and grand, not like those Yingying Yanyans in brothels. You and I listen to it very well."

Li Kesheng was afraid that Li Shimin would be really angry, so he hurriedly said: "Father calm down, Ke'er is just a new idea for a while, so I dare not go again."

At Li Ke's age, it would not be an unforgivable sin to go to a brothel to listen to a ditty. Li Shimin saw that Li Ke had admitted his mistake, so he said to Li Ke: "I allow you to go out and start a mansion, so that you can consult with your husband at any time. Don't be rigid The rules in the palace are not to indulge you, but to do whatever you want."

Li Ke listened to Li Shimin's lesson, nodded and said: "Father taught me, I know my mistake."

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, seemed to think of something again, and then asked: "Before you asked me for orders to practice martial arts with Shubao, and I agreed to your request. Have you ever been there?"

Li Ke said: "A few days ago, Ke'er was busy with other things, and I haven't had time to formally ask the general for advice on martial arts."

Li Shimin said: "In this case, you can go tomorrow. You are young and energetic, so you can spend more time practicing martial arts. It is not good to go to those places with fireworks, not to mention that you are still an elder brother. If you are an example, you will be poor." , Miner will learn from you in the future."

Li Ke bowed his head and replied: "My father taught me, I will keep it in my heart."

Seeing that Li Ke knew his mistake, Li Shimin raised his hand and said to Li Ke: "You came in a hurry, you must have not eaten yet, get up quickly, and eat with us."

"Thank you dad." Li Ke got Li Shimin's words and stood up.

Li Ke got up and sat down at the table, and then Li Shimin ordered to pass on the meal.

Li Shimin has always advocated simplicity and simplicity, so he also eats a simple lunch. A plate of stewed bamboo shoots, white fungus and ginkgo soup, fried shrimp, and a few plates of meat is Li Shimin's regular lunch, which is not much better than ordinary wealthy people.

However, Li Ke has always had a good appetite, so he didn't pick anything. He also downed three bowls of corn and rice in front of Li Shimin to fill his stomach.

After the meal was full, Concubine Yang hugged Li Ke's younger sister, Princess Gaoyang Li Fangling, and coaxed her to take a lunch break, while Li Ke sat next to Li Shimin at the table.

Li Shimin suddenly took out a memorial from his sleeve, and asked Li Ke as if chatting: "This is the memorial for me on the Yushitai, just take a look."

Li Ke looked at the notebook on the table and knew in his heart that this was probably the highlight of Li Shimin's introduction to the palace today.

Li Ke picked up the leaflet on the table, just glanced at it briefly, his face sank, and he argued himself: "I want to report to my father, my son and minister have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the court without authorization. What this leaflet says is really true." If you slander your sons and ministers, you still hope that the emperor will see clearly."

As Li Ke spoke, his face was full of anxiety and grievance. He even changed his address to Li Shimin unconsciously, obviously because he was frightened by the words of impeachment in the memorial.

Li Ke's reaction fell into Li Shimin's eyes, and Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Ke's excited reaction.

Li Shimin actually asked very suddenly. If Li Ke seemed too indifferent, it would be abnormal. If Li Ke seemed guilty, it would only deepen Li Shimin's suspicion of Li Ke, but Li Ke's reaction was very excited. The appearance of being wronged is exactly what Li Shimin wants to see.

Li Shimin said to Li Ke: "Don't worry, my son, I also think the content of this booklet is too false, and I have already refuted it."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Ke's expression became much lighter, and he said to Li Shimin, "I thank my father for his trust."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "you and my father and son, what are you talking about, but Ke'er needs to be more careful in his actions in the future, so as not to let these officials find a way to talk about it, and they will be impeached."

Li Ke knew Li Shimin's meaning, and said: "I know what my father means, so I should be cautious in the future."
