bastard seizes tang

Chapter 696
Li Ke only told Cen Wenwen that in the future Datang would pay attention to culture and education and rest with the people, but he did not tell Wei Zheng when to do so. When Kedi's eldest son Li Yan succeeded to the throne.

What Li Ke said now is more comforting than real, and more of it is to let Wei Zheng rest in peace and go there with peace of mind, and seeing Wei Zheng's reaction, Li Ke's goal has obviously been achieved.

Li Ke still had important matters to attend to, so it was impossible to keep looking at Wei Zheng like this. After Wei Zheng passed out, Li Ke stayed in Wei's mansion for a while, then got up and left.

When Li Ke left, Wei Shuyu, the eldest son of Wei Zheng, brought a group of brothers to see him off in person, but when Li Ke got on his horse and rode Dingbei to go back to the East Palace, someone rushed up from behind.

"The prince stays, the prince stays." Li Ke's voice was followed by a woman's call.

Hearing this voice, Li Ke could guess who was chasing him without turning his head back. In the whole Wei manor, there was only one person who could call Li Ke to stop in front of others, and that was Princess Huo, Wei Zhengchang. Female Wei Ru.

Li Yuangui is the No. 17 son of the great ancestor Li Yuan, that is, Li Ke's seventeenth emperor's uncle. Princess Huo Wei Ru is naturally Li Ke's aunt and Li Ke's elder.

Hearing Wei Ru calling him, Li Ke stopped his horse quickly, turned around and asked, "Why did Auntie call me?"

Wei Ru looked up at Li Ke, but was not in a hurry to speak. Li Ke knew Wei Ru's meaning, waved his hand, and turned away.

After Li Ke retreated to one side, Wei Ru said again: "Just now, father gave the prince a memorial, please pass it on to His Majesty."

I was in the inner room of the Wei Mansion just now, and since Li Ke came here in person, I was afraid that he would have a meeting with Wei Zheng about important government affairs, so no one from the top and bottom of the Wei Mansion had ever entered, and Wei Ru didn't know whether Wei Zheng had handed the letter to Li Ke, but Wei Ru looked at it. The memorial was no longer at Wei Zheng's bedside, so he caught up and asked.

Li Ke asked: "Auntie also knows about this memorial?"

Wei Ru replied: "This is written by Father himself this morning, or the ink I researched for Father, it must be handed over to His Majesty."

Li Ke nodded and said: "That's right, Prime Minister Wei did give me this memorial and asked me to forward it to my father after he returns to Beijing."

Wei Ru asked, "Can the crown prince tell you what is written in this letter?"

In terms of Wei Zheng's temperament, it is not difficult to guess what is written in this letter, otherwise Wei Ru would not have caught up with him to inquire. Li Ke replied truthfully: "Admonish the Battle of Liaodong."

"As expected." Wei Ru listened to Li Ke's words and sighed faintly, apparently also mentally prepared for Li Ke's words.

Li Ke said: "Wei Xiang has an upright temperament. Although he died nine times without regret, he is really comparable to others. I also admire him very much."

Wei Zheng's temperament has always been like this, he would do this, neither Li Ke nor Wei Ru was surprised, but Wei Ru worried: "If Father is still alive, the Wei family will naturally be able to bear such admonition. But now that my father is critically ill, I don't know how much time is left, such a remonstrance at this time will definitely anger His Majesty, if His Majesty commits a crime, what should we do?"

Wei Ru's worry is not unreasonable, as long as Wei Zhengjian is here, the Wei family still has this pillar, no matter how Wei Zheng admonishes Li Shimin, Li Shimin will not criticize the Wei family too much no matter whether he cares about affection or face. But if Wei Zheng is not there, once Li Shimin angers the Wei family, who can get rid of Li Shimin's anger.

Moreover, Li Shimin has already set out to fight. Under such circumstances, Wei Zheng still insists on this matter. It is inevitable that Li Shimin will be angry. When the time comes to anger the Wei family, who can take the responsibility?

Li Ke said: "Father's temper is like this, and Wei Xiang's temper is also like this. What my aunt said is not impossible."

The current Li Shimin is no longer the Li Shimin in the early years of Zhenguan. Although the current Li Shimin is still sage and can listen to loyal advice, he is not as obedient as before, and gradually becomes a little more stubborn. However, if Wei Zheng's memorial offended Li Shimin, and Li Shimin got angry, the Wei family would naturally be overwhelmed.

Wei Ru asked Li Ke, "What does the crown prince plan to do with this memorial?"

As soon as Li Ke heard Wei Ru's words, she guessed what Wei Ru meant, and she made a special trip to catch up with him to talk about it. Most of her meaning was that she wanted Li Ke to withhold the memorial and not hand it over to Li Shimin.

The matter Wei Ru mentioned is related to the Wei family, but it has nothing to do with Li Ke. If someone else mentioned this matter to Li Ke, Li Ke can flatly refuse it, but since Wei Ru said it, Li Ke has to give more It's kind of sympathetic.

In terms of seniority, although Huo Wang Li Yuangui is Li Ke's uncle, Li Yuangui is younger than Li Ke, but only three years younger, and roughly the same age.

Li Yuangui acted meticulously, knew etiquette, and had a good relationship with Li Ke. In the clan, Li Yuangui often helped Li Ke speak.

Li Ke had quite a few uncles, and many of them were of the same age as him. In the future, when Li Ke succeeded to the throne, Li Yuangui would be required to help him mediate and balance.

Li Ke paused and said, "Auntie should know that this is a deception."

Li Ke did not agree to this matter, but first explained the seriousness of it to Wei Ru. After all, secretly withholding the memorial that the prime minister handed over to the emperor at the end of his life is no different from deceiving the emperor.

How could Wei Ru not know the difficulty, Wei Ru said: "Prince, don't worry, no one else will know about this matter, as long as the crown prince doesn't say anything, and this memorial is withheld, no one will know. Dad is seriously ill, and time is running out. I also hope that the prince will take pity on his wife and children and allow this matter."

Although Wei Zheng is old, but because he got his sons at an old age, all the sons are not very old, and the eldest son Wei Shuyu is only in his early twenties. If Li Shimin commits a crime because of this, they will not be able to bear it, and they will suffer more than that. It's the Wei family, and Li Yuangui is likely to be involved.

Li Ke listened to Wei Ru's words with a look of embarrassment on his face. He was obviously hesitating about this matter. Wei Ru looked at Li Ke's reaction and knew that Li Ke had been shaken. After the incident, the whole family of King Huo's Mansion and Wei Manor will be grateful for the Prince's kindness."

The favor of Prince Wei's Mansion did not move Li Ke much, but the favor of Prince Huo's Mansion helped Li Ke a lot. Li Ke was a little moved after weighing it several times.

Li Ke said: "It wouldn't be right if I didn't say anything about this matter at all, but I have a compromise, would Auntie listen to it?"

"I would like to hear the details." Wei Ru said to Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "If the father wins and returns to Beijing, he will naturally be in a good mood. Even if there is a memorial from Minister Wei, it will be no problem. I will present this memorial to the father and explain it to the Wei family from the side. The father will probably not Difficult. But if I fail to win, I will take the risk and withhold this memorandum, so as not to make my father fall on the Wei family."

What Li Ke said is true. If Li Shimin wins a big victory and his sacred heart is happy, then what Wei Zheng said is just the opinion of ordinary scholars. Li Shimin will not be too embarrassed, and most of them will laugh it off. Withholding this memorial will not harm the Wei family.

Wei Ru immediately said: "That's how I thank the prince."
