bastard seizes tang

Chapter 677 Issued in the Court Council
In fact, no matter whether it is Changsun Wuji who speaks up or Li Lizhi agrees, in the end it is Prince Li Ke who is most concerned about this matter. Li Ke will not be surprised if Li Shimin wants to see Li Ke.

The East Palace was not far from the Lizheng Hall. Li Shimin summoned him, but Li Ke arrived within a short time.

"My son, Li Ke, pays homage to my father." Li Ke hurried to the Lizheng Hall, and paid homage to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin raised his hand, watched Li Ke get up, and then asked Li Ke: "Do you know why your father sent you here urgently?"

Li Shimin's words reached Li Ke's ears, Li Ke looked at Li Lizhi standing beside Li Shimin, and didn't know what was going on.

For such a big matter, without Li Ke's impetus behind it, it would be impossible for the Changsun family to spare no effort to push Concubine Yang to be the queen. The reason is not difficult to figure out, and Li Shimin will not be unaware.

Li Ke replied: "But is it what the grandson Sikong said?"

Li Shimin was noncommittal to Li Ke's answer, but continued to ask: "Did you really instigate this matter?"

Li Shimin's expression showed no joy or anger, and Li Ke had no way of knowing what he was thinking. The answers before Li Ke were nothing more than two, either flatly denying it, or accepting the matter.

If Li Ke denied it flatly, there would be less trouble, but would Li Shimin really believe what Li Ke said?Li Shimin probably already had his own judgment on this matter. Once a person like Li Shimin made his own judgment, he would firmly believe in it.

Even if Li Ke denies it, Li Shimin will not change his point of view unless he can provide sufficient evidence. On the contrary, it will make Li Shimin feel dissatisfied with Li Ke, which is really not worth it.

But if Li Ke agrees to this matter, if Li Shimin gets angry because of this, it will be disadvantageous for Li Ke. After all, Li Ke is the prince, and Changsun Wuji is the most important minister in the court.

Li Shimin asked a question, and when Li Ke replied, there was only a short moment before and after. Li Ke had already made several balances, and finally said: "My son is about to enter the palace to ask to see my father, and if I don't want my father, I summoned him."

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's reaction and asked, "So you admit it?"

Li Ke stood in front of the case, bowed his head and said: "This matter is indeed what I did, and I am willing to do what I want, and I will never deny it."

Li Ke did not deny Li Shimin's accusation, instead he agreed and said that he was about to enter the palace to meet Li Shimin and report the matter. This not only made him more responsible, but also showed that he had no intention of hiding Li Shimin.

Li Shimin listened to Li Ke's words, and the nervous expression on his face was obviously relaxed. In fact, although Li Ke understood Li Shimin's temper, he was not Li Shimin after all. China, the pride and confidence of an emperor through the ages.

Li Shimin has absolute confidence in both himself and Li Ke. He never worried that Li Ke would threaten him if he took power. The eldest son of the family of the senior officials and above must go to the East Palace to support Li Ke.

What Li Shimin was worried about was never that Li Ke colluded with Changsun Wuji. Li Shimin was too familiar with Changsun Wuji. If he said that Changsun Wuji would collude with Li Ke and oppose Li Shimin, Li Shimin himself would not believe it. What Li Shimin was worried about was Li Ke. Li Shimin would never want to lie to him, but luckily Li Ke didn't do that.

Li Shimin sighed, and said with seven points of love and three points of regret: "Ke'er, you, you are too serious about your children's personal relationship, how can this be done by the emperor."

Li Shimin's answer was beyond Li Ke's expectation. Li Ke looked up at Li Shimin and asked, "I don't know what my father wants?"

Li Shimin said: "You put in so much effort to push your mother and concubine to the throne, will it help you?"

Li Ke is already the crown prince, and Li Ke's position as crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai. Whether Concubine Yang is the queen or not, it has no effect on Li Ke's position as crown prince, nor can it be said to be of real benefit. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see Come out, Li Ke will not be unaware.Li Ke's move to promote Concubine Yang as queen was not for himself, so naturally it was for Concubine Yang.

Li Ke replied: "I wish my mother and concubine to be queen, not for myself."

Li Shimin said: "Father knows this, but you are not afraid that if you collude with important ministers and interfere in palace affairs like this, your father will be displeased and it will be detrimental to your position as the reserve?"

Li Ke paused first, and then replied: "My son didn't think about it so much."

Li Shimin said: "You, it's just too much personal affection. It's the same for protecting brothers, and it's the same for your mother and concubine this time. If you are talking about the emperor's heart, you owe a lot of heat. You will be the emperor in the future. carefulness."

In Li Shimin's view, when Li Chengqian conspired against Li Chengqian, Li Ke used his wealth and life to protect Li Chengqian and the life of the former prince, which naturally left a hidden danger for himself in the future. The lord of the main palace has the status of a main wife, but he still took such a risk to act.

The emperor's disposition, the most important thing is to put the overall situation first and give up personal relationships. Li Ke cares so much about his mother, concubine and siblings, which is naturally unqualified in the eyes of others.

Li Ke listened to Li Shimin's words, thought for a while, and replied: "Father also often says that sons and ministers are similar to father, and father loves his son and loves him deeply. Doesn't he also care about personal affection? Father is like this, so then He is a good emperor who is praised all over the world, and his ministers are not worried about himself."

"Hahaha"

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, and Li Shimin burst out laughing immediately, which relieved the tense atmosphere in the hall a lot.

Although what Li Ke said is straightforward, they are all true. When it comes to pity, I am afraid that there are few emperors who can compare with Li Shimin in the ages. ?
Li Shimin said: "In this case, it is still the father's fault, isn't it?"

Li Ke hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, I just think that there is nothing wrong with the warmth of the Tian family."

Li Shimin said: "What you did today was out of pure filial piety, which is understandable. Moreover, you never reported this matter to the court, but privately played it to your father, which is considered thorough."

If Li Ke wants to promote Concubine Yang's success, there are only two ways. One is to report the matter in private like now, and the other is to report the matter to the court and use the power of all officials to put pressure on Li Shimin. This would make it difficult for Li Shimin to do so.

Li Ke chose the method of making Li Shimin easy to do, but his own confidence was lower. In Li Shimin's view, he naturally took into account his father.

Li Ke said: "My son is just doing his best and obeying the destiny."

Li Ke's so-called doing his best is what he did. As for the sky, as far as the Tang Dynasty was concerned, the emperor was the sky, and Li Shimin was the sky, so what Li Ke saw was Li Shimin's meaning.

Li Shimin said: "Actually, before the empress died, she entrusted me that your mother and concubine are virtuous, and can take the throne after her death, but as a father, I have never been able to overcome this hurdle."

Li Shimin and his wife, Empress Changsun, have a deep love and harmony. When Empress Changsun died of illness, Li Shimin once abolished the court for nearly a month, and forgot to eat water and rice. It is not difficult for Li Shimin to have this hurdle in his heart.

Li Ke heard the words, and asked cautiously: "Then I don't know what the father means?"

Li Shimin was depressed for a while, and replied: "Send this matter to the court, and then make a decision."

It is not appropriate to have no queen in the court, and Concubine Yang has been in charge of the harem for many years, and she is the birth mother of the prince. It is her duty to be a queen. Li Shimin's bringing this matter to the court is tantamount to agreeing to it.

"No." Li Ke replied with a smile when he heard the words.
