Chapter 364 Wei Wang Li Tai
To be honest, in Li Ke's eyes, his biggest enemy was never Wei Wang Li Tai, nor did he take Li Tai too seriously, but what he learned about Liu Ji today reminded Li Ke.

Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince is already unstable. Li Shimin's sons, aside from the six-year-old Jin Wang Li Zhi, Li Ke seems to have become Li Tai's biggest opponent. Li Ke did not regard Li Tai as a great enemy, but Li Tai Tai has already secretly planned to deal with Li Ke.

Li Ke is also very aware of Liu Ji, although he has the talent of a prime minister, he can still be worshiped as a prime minister after more than ten years. Therefore, he was not valued, so he joined Li Tai's command.

Li Ke asked Wang Xuance: "Sir, since you know Liu Ji well, how can you know what he is like?"

Wang Xuance thought for a while and replied truthfully: "In terms of talent and strategy, Si Dao (Liu Ji's characters) is out of its class and is outstanding, perhaps not inferior to the text. In terms of temperament, it is as firm as jade, upright and capable The portrait of Wei Shizhong can be called a national scholar."

Although Wang Xuance and Liu Ji belong to two parties, you are the masters, but when mentioning Liu Ji, there are many praiseworthy words, which shows that Wang Xuance is magnanimous, and also shows Liu Ji's ability.

When Li Ke heard this, he said indifferently: "Stiff is easy to break, but strong is humiliating. Serving the emperor with sincerity, although straightforwardness is not bad, but it is always not a good thing."

Wang Xuance nodded and agreed: "What your highness said is very true, it is the cardinal's hair, and the tongue is too short. With the upright temperament of thinking, among the princes, only your highness can use thinking. In the case of King Wei His temper, after a long time, may not be able to tolerate him."

Wang Xuance is good at the way of vertical and horizontal, and indeed has the ability to match people, but in just a few words, he can tell Liu Ji's right and wrong.

Li Ke sighed: "Liu Jizhi can be called a scholar of the country, but with such a nature, it may be difficult to get good results in the end."

Hearing this, Wang Xuance thought that Li Ke was a talent who sympathized with Liu Ji, but it was a pity that he could not be included under his command, so he said: "This is also a helpless move, with a high mind, and there is absolutely no possibility of casting him under His Highness's command."

In fact, Li Ke didn't care much about Liu Ji, but after listening to Wang Xuance's words, Li Ke became interested, and Li Ke asked, "Oh? Why is that?"

Wang Xuance replied with a smile: "The text comes from the Cen family in Nanyang, and the Liu family in Nanyang. They are both descendants of the Shannan family. Effectiveness, the text is in Zhongshu, and Sidao is under the door, and the two are Xiao Xian's think tanks.

However, following the defeat of Xiao Xian, the two descended to the Tang Dynasty one after another. After thirteen years, the text has been re-entered in Zhongshu and worshiped as Zaifu, while Sidao was newly appointed as the official secretary and censor at the end of last year. It can be said that there is a world of difference, with Si Dao's temperament, how can he be willing to enter His Highness's sect. "

When Li Ke heard the words, he immediately understood.

Liu Ji and Cen Wenwen are both descendants of the Nanyang family. After they became officials, they also served in the Xiao Xian Dynasty. They were divided into Zhongshu Shilang and Huangmen Shilang. , the official served as Jingzhou Biejia and Xingtai Kaogong Langzhong, and Liu Ji was the governor of Nankang Prefecture. At this time, the two of them were still evenly matched.

But everything has changed since Cen Wenwen entered Beijing in the ninth year of Wude.

Nine years ago, when Cen Wenwen entered Beijing, he was originally recommended by Li Xiaogong to serve as the secretary of the secretary province. Although the secretary was in Beijing and was a Beijing official, he was only in charge of books and classics, which was also a idle job.

But who would have thought that such a Cen Wenwen, who was not well-known at the time, would have won the favor of the third prince Li Ke. When he became a pilgrim teacher, Cen Wenwen would also become the chief history of the Fourth Rank Shu Prince's Palace, and Cen Wenwen would also become a senior official because of this. Into Li Shimin's eyes.

Since then, Cen Wenwen has been going smoothly all the way, from Secretary Lang to Zhongshu Sheren, and then to Zhongshu Sheren to Zhongshu Shilang, he was granted the title of Jiangling County Bo, and he was actually in the palm of the book. It was only seven years, and at this time, Liu Ji, who was originally on the same level as him, was just a fifth-rank secretary and censor. It is strange that Liu Ji was convinced.

Cen Wenwen is Li Ke's mentor and Li Ke's mastermind, and Li Ke can only have one mastermind. If Liu Ji voted under Li Ke's command, no matter how well he did, he would still be under Cen Wenwen. In order to go further, he voted under Li Tai's command last year, and was cited by Li Tai as his confidant.

Hearing this, Li Ke smiled and said, "In this way, Liu Ji is quite interesting."

------------

Chang'an, Shengyefang, Wei Wangfu.

Wei Wang Li Tai has never thought that one day, he will be so close to the crown prince since he became the heart of seizing the crown prince.

In the past, what Li Tai had to deal with were Li Chengqian and Li Ke. One of them was the eldest son of the father and emperor, and the justifiable prince, while the other was the king of Chu who had won the favor and made great contributions. Each of them was enough to overwhelm him.

But now it's different, the prince lost his virtue and lost his way, and his prestige in the court was greatly damaged. The helpless official Yangzhou is beyond his reach, and he doesn't care about Chang'an.That is to say, as long as he deposed the crown prince when Li Ke left the capital, the East Palace would be his for sure.

"Liu Yushi, the third brother has already gone south?" In Wei Wang's mansion, Li Tai sat at the head, looked at Liu Ji who was sitting on the left, and asked softly.

Liu Jiwen is extremely talented and has a lot of ideas. Although he has only been under Li Tai's command for half a year, he has already surpassed too many old people under Li Tai's command.

Liu Jie replied: "Just now, the people in the mansion who went to watch outside heard the news that the king of Chu has passed Baqiao and is heading south."

Li Tai then asked: "Is there anything unusual about it?"

Liu Jie replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the King of Chu only saw the young lady of the Wu family in Baqiao, and then went south without anyone else."

Hearing this, Li Tai was a little relieved, and said: "The third brother is the most cunning in his actions. He was trying to protect the crown prince in the palace before, and he had already tripped up the king before he left. His going south this time is just the right thing to do. It’s time for this king to show his grand plans.”

Liu Ji said: "Although the King of Chu is not in Beijing, Yangzhou is only three or four days away from Chang'an at the shortest time. Your Highness should not be careless when doing things in Beijing."

Hearing this, Li Tai waved his hand, and replied to Liu Ji: "It's okay, Liu Yushi is too worried, this king has his own way to make the third brother busy with state affairs and have no time to go north."

Then, Li Tai turned his head again, and asked Yu Fu who was standing behind Wei Wangwei leading the Dian army: "Is everything in Suzhou arranged?"

Yu Fu replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, the arrangement has been made in Suzhou, and the King of Chu will never be left alone."
