Chapter 661

Li Ke and Wu Meiniang were discussing Li Tai's matters, when suddenly someone from the door reported that Chang Sun rushed to see him.

Changsun Chong was under Li Ke's sect, and when Li Ke returned to Beijing, it was reasonable for Changsun Chong to come to the East Palace to meet him as an old ministry, but Li Ke had only returned to the palace for more than an hour before Changsun Chong arrived, which seemed a bit rushed.

Changsun Chong has always been the most respectful of etiquette, without breaking the rules. He must be looking at the situation in the East Palace in such a hurry to see him, and he must have something important to report. Even if Li Kedang ordered someone to take his grandson to Guangtian temple.

"Minister Sun Chong pays homage to the crown prince." After a while, when Li Ke arrived at the Guangtian Hall, Chang Sun Chong was already waiting in the hall. Chang Sun Chong saw Li Ke enter and greeted him.

Li Ke lifted his eldest grandson up and said with a smile, "Zijing please get up quickly."

Changsun Chong responded, stood up slowly, cupped his hands to Li Ke and said: "The prince just arrived in Beijing, and the minister came to disturb him. I hope the prince will not blame you."

Li Ke said: "My own people, why are you talking about being strange, but I don't know why Zijing came to see me in such a hurry?"

Changsun Chong said: "Actually, I came to see the prince today because of a private matter."

Changsun Chong knows the priorities and can distinguish between public and private. Changsun Chong rarely bothers Li Ke because of his private affairs. What's more, in such an urgent situation, what Changsun Chong said makes Li Ke more and more interested.

Li Ke said: "I don't know what it is, Zijing just talks about it."

Changsun Chong said: "The Changsun's residence will host a banquet for the Crown Prince at the Lexian Tower in the north of the city tomorrow, and I hope that the Crown Prince will spare no time to attend the banquet."

Changsun Chong was a disciple of Li Ke, and drinking at the same table with Li Ke and listening to music for fun are common things, and they are all commonplace. Li Ke didn't think much about it at first, and immediately responded: "What's the matter, since Zijing invited me, Bengong must go. What is Bengong going to do? If it’s just a feast, why does Zijing need to come here and send someone?”

Li Ke was talking, and at first he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but as he talked, he felt something strange. Just as Li Ke himself said, Chang Sun Chong and Li Ke have a very close relationship. It would be good to send someone to deliver the post, why bother to go there in person, and, if Li Ke heard correctly, Changsun Chong was talking about the Changsun Mansion, not himself.

Although Changsun Chong is the eldest son of the Changsun family, he is also married, has opened another mansion, and even holds an important position in the court, but he is far from qualified to represent the Changsun family. Now the entire Changsun family can only represent the Changsun family. Ji, so tomorrow's banquet is not invited by Changsun Chong, but by Changsun Wuji.

Inviting a banquet for his father, it's no wonder that the eldest Sun Chong would come to the door in person, so solemn.

Li Ke asked: "Is this what Sikong meant?"

The eldest grandson rushed back and said: "It's exactly what my father meant. I wonder if the crown prince can appreciate it."

Recently, the situation of Li Ke in the court does not look good. It can be said that there is a crowd instead of a group. It seems to be Li Ke's most embarrassing situation since he entered the East Palace. But at this time, Changsun Wuji unexpectedly Li Ke was a little surprised to take the initiative to see Li Ke.

But Li Ke thought about it carefully, and seemed to understand a little more. The current situation in the court is not good for Li Ke. To stabilize his position as the prince, could it be that the old fox smelled something and became alert?

If it was put on the past, on someone else, Li Kexing might have hesitated for a moment, but these words came from the mouth of Chang Sun Chong, and Li Ke also needed to take Chang Sun Chong's feelings into consideration.

What's more, being in an embarrassment with Changsun Wuji has been harmful to Li Ke, and it is Li Shimin's intention to ease the relationship between Li Ke and Changsun Wuji.

Li Ke said: "Zijing has a heart, and Zijing will bring me a message to Sikong. Tomorrow's banquet, my palace will definitely come."

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

The next day, Li Ke had already returned to Beijing and met Li Shimin, but a whole day had passed, and Li Shimin had not issued any orders or made any statement regarding Li Ke's private opening of the granary, as if The matter has been forgotten.

It is true that Li Shimin pities his son, but he is not a person who can't distinguish between serious and serious. It is impossible for Li Shimin to ignore such a big matter as opening Wuwei warehouse privately and being good at adjusting military rations.Even if Li Shimin did not punish Li Ke severely out of extenuating circumstances, it is still necessary to save face, but Li Shimin did not make any movement, and the palace was strangely quiet, as if Li Shimin had already forgotten about it.

In fact, Li Shimin would never forget it. Even if Li Shimin forgot, there were still so many ministers and censors in the court. The only possibility is that Li Shimin believed that Li Ke was innocent, and let the matter go.

Li Tai smelled something abnormal in it, and his heart became more and more uneasy, so he immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter.

Chang'an City, Shengyefang, Wei Wangfu.

"Minister Qin Kun pays homage to Your Highness." Qin Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood in the side hall of Wei Wang's mansion and bowed to Li Tai.

Seeing Qin Kun standing in front of him, Li Tai didn't even think too much about being polite, and asked directly: "How about the investigation that my king ordered you to investigate a few days ago?"

Qin Kun replied: "The head of the Ministry of War just sent back the news back to Beijing that the grain grains in Wuwei warehouse have not been touched. It turns out that the prince has never touched the grain in Wuwei warehouse from the beginning to the end."

Hearing this, Li Tai frowned, and then asked, "Is it because the particles are still small or the particles haven't moved?"

Although the difference between these two words is only one word, they are indeed very different. If it is not missing, it may be that Li Ke embezzled military rations and then made up in time. This is still hard to hide, but if Li Ke has never moved Grain, that's another story.

Qin Kun naturally understood Li Tai's meaning, and Qin Kun replied with an ugly face: "It hasn't been touched at all, even the seal from last year's grain inspection is there, there is no way it has been tampered with."

Qin Kun's words fell into his ears, and Li Tai seemed to fall directly into the abyss with his heart. Li Tai knew what Qin Kun's words meant. If Li Ke had never embezzled the military rations in Wuwei Warehouse, then the whole thing would have been ruined. Li Ke played a game of chess. He, Li Tai, and the Guanlongmen Clan were all designed by Li Ke.

As Li Tai thought about it, he felt more and more ridiculous. It was ridiculous that he was still speaking righteously in front of Li Shimin. It turned out that he was just a joke in Li Ke's eyes.

Qin Kun looked at Li Tai's livid face and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Li Tai smiled wryly, and replied, "Do you think the king has any choice under the current situation?"

The reason why the Wuwei Warehouse was opened privately was Li Ke's bureau from beginning to end. Li Ke's original intention of doing this bureau was to deal with the Guanlongmen faction, but it was a pity that Li Taitai was too impatient, so she got involved and jumped with the Guanlongmen faction He fell into Li Ke's trap.

For a while, Li Tai also understood why Changsun Wuji would help Li Ke to speak in the court that day. I am afraid that at that time, Changsun Wuji had already noticed Li Ke's intentions.
