Chapter 432 Li Changsha

In terms of family seniority, Li Fengci is Li Shimin's cousin, so he is Li Ke's uncle. Li Fengci naturally does not need to greet him personally, but the royal family is different from ordinary people. As the king of Chu, Li Ke is among the princes and among the four nobles. Compared with Li Fengci I don't know how expensive a Bohai County king is.

Moreover, Li Ke was ordered to supervise the border, and he returned in triumph. No matter whether he was a family member in the city or an important member of the state department, it was the right intention to go out of the city to greet him.In the past, even the Hejian King Li Xiaogong and the Rencheng King Li Daozong, who had the most outstanding military achievements and the most prestige among the clan's children, even showed great respect to Li Ke.

There are two reasons for Li Fengci's failure to go out of the city to greet him: one is because of his seniority, he did not take Li Ke's nephew seriously, so he did not welcome him;

But whether it was Li Fengci's contempt or embarrassment, he had already offended Li Ke.Li Ke was young, and Li Ke was not of high seniority in the clan, if Li Ke turned a blind eye to Li Fengci's contempt this time, spread the word in the future, and others followed suit, then how could he convince the public.

Li Ke rode his horse to the foot of Jinyang city, and just got off his horse, Liu Dewei, governor of Bingzhou, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Liu Dewei, the last general, pays homage to the governor."

Liu Dewei was the governor of Bingzhou, originally a civil servant, but Liu Dewei became an official with martial arts. He used to be the general of Zuowu Houwei, and then served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for a year, and then transferred to the governor of Bingzhou. Therefore, Liu Dewei called himself the last general in front of Li Ke. .

Liu Dewei is also Li Shimin's former subordinate. He once served as a congregation of Wang Shichong and Liu Wuzhou. Li Shimin trusted him a lot, so he entrusted him with Bingzhou.

Li Ke raised his hand to support Liu Dewei, and said with a smile to Liu Dewei: "It's been more than a year since we saw each other. I never thought that this king would meet Liu Governor again in Bingzhou. It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land."

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Keguan worshiped General Youxiaowei. At that time, Liu Dewei was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. The government office of Dali Temple and Youxiaowei's government office were adjacent to Hanguang Street, and they were very close to the ground. Therefore, Li Ke was also familiar with Liu Dewei. , Only then did this remark.

Liu Dewei also laughed and said: "When I was in Chang'an, the last general was close to the governor, and now in Bingzhou, it's the same. It's also the fate of the last general and the governor."

Li Ke said: "In the future, when the king is in Bingzhou, I'm afraid there will still be many things that need the help of Governor Liu. At that time, Governor Liu will have to work hard."

Bingzhou is originally a border state, and the army is bigger than the government, not to mention that Li Ke is still in charge of the army. Liu Dewei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the governor, but if it is useful to be a general, just order it."

Li Ke and Liu Dewei are also old acquaintances, and they are the military and political officials of Bingzhou. When they met, they inevitably exchanged a few more words. After Li Ke and Liu Dewei finished their greetings, a young man who seemed to be in his early twenties and looked good also stepped forward. Stepped forward and walked to Li Ke's side.

"My minister, Li Changsha, pays homage to the governor." The man called himself Li Changsha, walked up to Li Ke, and bowed down to pay homage.

Li Ke didn't even have the slightest impression of the name Li Changsha and the face in front of him, but this time Li Ke had just arrived in Jinyang, which was unusual. Since the man dared to step forward this year, he naturally had a very high status.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't answer immediately, Liu Dewei who was on the side knew that Li Ke probably didn't know the person in front of him, so he quickly explained: "The governor, this is the eldest son of King Bohai, Li Changsha, Duke of Yangxin County."

When Li Ke heard this, he immediately understood that this young man was Li Fengci's eldest son.

Li Ke also cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Haha, it turns out that my cousins ​​are face to face. This king has never been to Jinyang, and I have never met your cousins, so I didn't get to know each other today."

Li Changsha hurriedly said: "The governor's meritorious service is mostly in Sheji, and the young man is an official outside. How can he live in Jinyang for a long time like idlers like me?"

Li Changsha was in his twenties, if he was a child of an ordinary clan, at this age he would have been an official even if he was not an official in Beijing, but Li Changsha is still in Jinyang now, it is indeed rare.

Li Ke said: "my cousin is too modest. If my cousin asks for an official, it's not easy. It only needs to be informed by my uncle and the official department. I'm afraid my cousin is pure filial piety and doesn't want to leave his relatives for a long time."

In fact, Li Ke just said it casually, but it happened that what he said entered Li Changsha's heart. Li Changsha still didn't work as an official at an old age, and he only hung up the official rank of a doctor. He really thought about it.

Although Li Fengci was ridiculous and even despised by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, his son Li Changsha was quite famous among the clan's children.

Relying on his childhood personal friendship with Li Shimin, Li Fengci acted in a public manner, and often did not abide by the law. Even Li Shimin and Li Yuan let him go, and there was nothing he could do about it. In Jinyang, Li Fengci can be more controlled.

Li Changsha said: "Father is weak. He suffered from cold ailments a few years ago. Recently, he often feels unwell, and sometimes even finds it difficult to go to the ground. Today the governor is here, and Father wanted to go out of the city to welcome him, but this morning he fell ill again. , it is not suitable to go out, so I was specially ordered to meet the governor, and I hope the governor will not blame you."

Li Changsha's words seem to be pleading guilty, but in fact he is defending Li Fengci, but as Li Ji said before, Li Fengci is greedy for pleasure, sensual and sensual every day. strength?
But Li Changsha's words have already reached this point. Li Fengci is still the elder of Li Ke, so how can Li Ke be offended in front of everyone? Elder, it should be the king who comes to visit him, how dare he ask uncle to come out to meet him, not to mention, uncle is weak, it is better to rest more in the mansion."

Hearing this, Li Changsha hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your understanding, Li Changsha."

Li Ke patted Li Changsha's shoulder lightly and said: "What do you say in the family? My uncle is sick. As a nephew, I should have visited him. It's just that I have just arrived in Jinyang recently, and there are many The mansion has important matters to deal with, and in the day after tomorrow, this king will finish handling the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion, and will definitely visit the door in person. There is also Cousin Lao who sent a message to Uncle, asking Uncle to take care of himself."

Li Changsha said: "I will definitely bring the words of the governor, and then in the day after tomorrow, all the people in the mansion will sweep the door and wait for the governor to drive."

"Definitely." Li Ke nodded and smiled.

Li Changsha was filial and made amends on behalf of his father. Li Ke was also generous and didn't think it was strange. Instead, he told Li Fengci to pay more attention to his body. After approval, Li Ji on the side saw Li Ke's reaction in his eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The children of the royal family, brothers and sisters fought openly and secretly, not to mention that Li Ke, Li Fengci, and Li Changsha were separated by a layer. Today, when Li Ke first arrived in Jinyang, Li Fengci's contempt gave Li Ke a chance to stand up.If that's all for Li Ke, what else will he use to suppress these noble clansmen in Jinyang City in the future?
At this time, the closer Li Ke was to Li Changsha, the more it meant that Li Ke's heart was agitated. In the future, the Prince's Mansion of Bohai County will probably be lively.

However, in Li Ji's view, Li Ke is quite a man of the city. Li Fengci is already so contemptuous, but Li Ke can hold back his temper and smile at each other. He is not as young and vigorous as Li Ji thought.
