bastard seizes tang

Chapter 321
Li Shimin's mention of Li Tai's marriage was just a casual mention, but in Li Ke's ears, Li Shimin's words had other flavors.

Li Taijue, the King of Wei, was granted the title of Henan Province, the governor of Luozhou, and his official position is even higher than that of Henan Mu. He is the real chief official of Luoyang, the eastern capital. Luoyang then became Li Tai's foundation.

Li Tai is intelligent and good at learning, and he is well-known among the clan's children. Even Kong Yingda, the always strict Hongwenguan University Bachelor and Guozi Siye, highly respects Li Tai.

Just like the above, Li Tai is very close to the Shandong family who have always emphasized literature and despised martial arts. Among the seven clans and five surnames, Qinghe Cui and Xingyang Zheng, the two crowned Guandong clans, have a good relationship with him.

Li Ke originally thought that Li Tai might register the daughter of the Guandong family as Princess Wei in order to win over the Guandong family, but the Tianshui Yan family from the master master Yan Lide was not from the Guandong family, but a fake replacement of the Longyou clan. The two are not a family .

The moment Li Ke heard the news, he thought of a possibility in his mind, that is, Li Chengqian lost power, and Li Tai's desire for power had soared. Win over the clan of Longyou and aspire for the position of crown prince.

Li Tai is really smart. If he hastily married a powerful family in Guanlong like the Li family in Longxi, or a powerful family like the Zhao family in Nan'an, I am afraid that the Guandong family would overreact, but the Yan family is just the one who can be called the best in Guandong. There is no other reason for accepting the Kansai aristocratic family, it is because of Yan Lide and Yan Liben brothers who are at the helm of the Yan family.

The general master Yan Lide and the servant of the Ministry of Justice Yan Liben, both of them are civil servants, and they are also rare masters of calligraphy and painting in the world. It kills two birds with one stone.

Li Shimin just mentioned it casually, but he didn't know that in this short moment, Li Ke had already thought so much in his heart.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's appearance, thinking that Li Ke was also thinking about Concubine Ce, so he said: "Hutou has a girl he likes in his heart, if you have one, you can tell her, Dad will also decide for you. Declare the marriage in person."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Ke smiled blushingly, scratched his head and said, "Your minister is still young, and he is busy with important local military and political affairs every day, so he hasn't had time to think about these things."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said with a serious face: "This is not possible. Although the local military affairs are urgent, the matter of your concubine registration has to be serious. You should be more careful. If you don't have someone you like, you will be a father." The empress and imperial concubine have found girls of the right age from various families in Beijing for you."

As Li Shimin said, he seemed to think of something again, and he told Chang Tu who was behind him: "There are still a lot of mouth cream and face medicine given to the officials in the court today, you go and get some from the King of Chu."

"No." Chang Tu responded, and hurried down, and after a while, he came over with a few small porcelain vases inlaid with silver.

Li Shimin pointed to the porcelain vases that Chang Tu held in his arms, and said to Li Ke: "You were in Saibei when you were young, and when you returned to Beijing, you were in charge of the Right Xiaowei. They are all the top grades of tribute from the state. Not only is the cream congealed and snowy, but the liquid is fragrant, but also the merits can cure diseases and never be rid of blemishes; My daughter is also good, I ordered someone to send it to your house for my father, so you can keep it."

Li Ke looked at the exquisite porcelain bottles that Chang Tu was holding, and listened to Li Shimin's words, Li Ke was a little stunned. Li Ke never thought that Li Shimin had such a side under his seemingly majestic appearance.

Li Ke had no choice but to thank: "Thank you dad."

----------

After the dinner, we left the Ganlu Hall, and the night was already dark.

Li Ke and Concubine Yang walked side by side on the palace road outside the Ganlu Hall, and finally asked the question that had been settled in their hearts for a long time.

Li Ke asked Concubine Yang: "Why did A Niang mention the matter of Concubine Erce in the palace just now?"

Concubine Yang is so smart, and she is extremely cautious in her actions. In front of Li Shimin, every word she said must have been carefully thought out. and.

Concubine Yang said: "Ever since His Majesty recruited you to Beijing, there have been rumors inside and outside the palace. Even the matter your Majesty mentioned to me last night is quite unfavorable to you."

Li Ke asked, "What's the matter?"

Concubine Yang said: "Someone in the palace said that you have made great achievements in governing the Huaihe River, and that you have won the love of all the people in the southeast. I advise your majesty to register you as a concubine as soon as possible, marry a wife and have children, open up branches and leaves for the Chu Palace, and seal it in Yangzhou. The Chu Palace will last forever." Huainan."

Sealed in Yangzhou, Yongzhen Huainan!
When Li Ke heard these eight words from Concubine Yang's mouth, his heart was shocked, and he felt that his back was inadvertently wet with cold sweat.

Li Chengqian lost his virtue, and his reputation in the court plummeted. Afterwards, Li Shimin called Li Ke back to the capital ahead of schedule. Today's affairs in the court may make some people feel uneasy, but they came up with such a way to deal with Li Ke.

Huainan is rich and rich, and Yangzhou has been a rich land since ancient times. If an ordinary prince receives this grace, Yangzhou is a fiefdom, and Huainan will be township forever for generations, it will be a great joy, but for Li Ke, this is not the case.

Li Kezhi is on the throne, compared with the entire Tang Dynasty, a mere Yangzhou is nothing, not to mention that the Yongzhen Huainan is just a measure of rights and interests. If Li Ke is only a prince, when Li Shimin dies in the future, the new emperor ascends the throne , There are a hundred ways to abolish Li Ke again.

Li Ke was Li Shimin's beloved son, and he was favored by him. If he dealt with Li Ke in the open, he would naturally make Li Shimin suspicious, but this trick of "going up to the house and pulling the ladder" was used on the key point.

Li Ke is a concubine who has made great contributions to the country, so he is bestowed with the title of Yangzhou and the permanent town of Huainan. This sounds like a great kindness to Li Ke. Li Shimin loves his son dearly, so it is naturally possible to agree.

As long as Li Shimin complies with this matter, Li Ke marries a wife, and then releases Yangzhou to Huainan for generations, then Li Ke will be completely out of touch with the throne.

Li Ke asked: "It's such a deep thought, can A Niang know who's idea of ​​this matter?"

Concubine Yang said: "What Mother said today was only to test His Majesty's intentions. In such a huge harem, who else can make Mother act so cautiously?"

Concubine Yang is a noble concubine. In the harem, one person descends and ten thousand people go up. Naturally, there is only one person who can call Concubine Yang so cautious, and that is Empress Changsun, the master of the harem.

Asking for the seal for the concubine, the eldest grandson queen killed two birds with one stone, even though Li Ke went out of Beijing, protected the eldest son's position as the crown prince, and earned a good reputation in front of Li Shimin, which was a deep calculation.

Empress Changsun has always been known as a virtuous and virtuous woman, she has always acted fairly, and she has many assistant ministers to Li Shimin, but this time for her beloved son, she finally made a move.

Remarks:

The content about the "mouth fat noodle medicine" given by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the ministers on the twelfth lunar month is not a fabrication, but a fact. Du Fu's poem said: "If you want to get drunk at a good night, you will return to the family at the beginning of the Zichen Dynasty. The mouth cream and face medicine follow the grace, and the emerald tube and silver will go down to the sky." This can be regarded as a cosmetic bestowed by the emperor.
