Chapter 718
Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Hall, Study Room.

In the study room of Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was sitting in front of the case, burying his head in dealing with the high piles of memorials piled up on the case.

"Your Majesty, the prince seeks an audience." Li Shimin was looking at the memorial when Chang Tu came in and told Li Shimin.

Hearing this, Li Shimin slowly put down the memorial in his hand, and said: "I think he came to the palace to see me because of something rumored outside the palace, let him come in."

"No." Chang Tu replied, and went down to lead the person.

After a while, Li Ke walked into the study. As soon as he entered the study, Li Ke saw the scene just now, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Although Li Shimin seeks the way to prolong his life, he is by no means a foolish king. Li Shimin has just recovered from a serious illness, and he has been busy dealing with the affairs of the court and China all day long, and he has never slacked off for a while. Li Ke asked himself that he could not do this.

"My son pays homage to my father." Li Ke walked to the case and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Ke'er, don't be too polite, just sit down." Li Shimin waved his hand and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke thanked him, and stood up. Li Ke looked at Li Shimin's seemingly mental state, but his cheeks were very red, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. Li Ke knew that Li Shimin had taken the elixir after all.

Li Ke asked: "Father has already started taking pills?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's concerned face, opened his hands, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the third day of taking the pill for my father, and I feel refreshed and light, which is better than before. Nothing less than that, even if you rest less than the previous few days, you still don’t feel tired.”

Li Shimin's state seems to be energetic, but there is a trace of sickness in his eyes and cheeks. Li Ke probably knows the reason for this, but it is inconvenient to say more. After all, Li Shimin is currently in a state of excitement, and Li Shimin can't listen to him if he talks too much , will only annoy Li Shimin, and has no other purpose.

Li Ke had no choice but to say: "Father's appearance is indeed much more energetic than when he was sick, but although my son doesn't know anything about elixir, he thinks that elixir is also medicine. Although he has seen the effect of the medicine, father can't rely on it." In short, the amount of daily meals is indispensable, and it is also indispensable when going to bed."

In the past few days, Li Shimin has often attracted the officials of the DPRK to remonstrate because of taking the elixir. Most of the words of these officials are fierce and straightforward. Li Ke's words are much better than those of the officials in the DPRK. , and because Li Ke himself did not understand the theory of elixir, he did not stop Li Shimin from taking the medicine in essence, but only told him to pay attention to diet and rest, without any other intention.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and said, "I have written down what Ke'er said for my father, and I will definitely do it."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he asked Li Ke again: "Ke'er made a special trip to the palace, isn't it for this purpose?"

When Li Ke heard this, he knew that Li Shimin had also guessed his intention of entering the palace, so he knelt down and said: "I have acted indiscriminately and brought shame to my father and the clan. My son is here to plead guilty to my father."

Li Ke's crime is not pleasant to hear, and it will be bad for his reputation if it is spread out, but what you love and what I want is not a big crime.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke who was kneeling in front of him, pointed to Li Ke and said, "You, it was like this when you were young. You dared to visit brothels at a young age, but at that time you were a prince, and you were not mentioned as a father." , but you are the crown prince now, the crown prince of the country, and you will inherit the throne in the future, how can you be so coquettish."

Li Ke said: "I didn't do this on purpose, but I suddenly fell in love, and my son couldn't control himself, which led to today's situation. I hope my father will forgive me."

Li Shimin said: "Father also knows about the situation in your inner palace. Your inner palace is not prosperous, and neither father nor mother object to your taking concubines and concubines. It doesn't matter. We all hope that you will have more children. The sons and heirs are prosperous, but Wu Shun is your sister-in-law, how dare you get involved, and even if you get involved, you should be more careful, otherwise, it will cause troubles that are known to everyone today."

As Li Shimin said, he wanted to teach Li Ke a few more words, but soon he didn't want to say any more. First, Li Kexiang was known as a romantic man, and he was a frequent visitor to brothels when he was young. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin has always had very low expectations of Li Ke in this regard, and Li Shimin is easy to accept Li Ke's doing these things.

Second, Li Shimin himself did not do well in this aspect. In Li Shimin's harem, Wei Gui, the biological mother of King Ji Li Shen and the new imperial concubine after Empress Yang, was the son of Li Min, the son of Li Zixiong, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Sui Dynasty. Wife, Wei Gui gave birth to a daughter with Li Min before marrying Li Shimin, and was canonized by Li Shimin as the county head.

Li Shimin's fourteenth son Cao Wang Li Ming's biological mother, Yuan Shi, was the old concubine Chaoci, and the Chaoci King was Li Shimin's compatriot brother, who was beheaded by Li Shimin at Xuanwumen Li Yuanji.

Compared with Li Ke's actions, Li Shimin is really worse than Li Shimin. With Li Shimin's pearls and jades in front of him, Li Ke's incident, whether it is Li Shimin or the officials in the court, at most they will say in their hearts, "The upper beam is not right. Liang crooked", there is nothing else to criticize, after all, accusing Li Ke is accusing Li Shimin, who would take such a risk for Li Ke's personal affairs.

Li Shimin looked at his beloved son Li Ke in front of him, wanted to be angry, but couldn't.

Among Li Shimin's sons, Li Ke is the most virtuous and talented, both civil and military. Li Shimin still resembles him very much, but now Li Shimin may not be able to say this sentence.

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin and stopped talking, then slowly knelt up straight, and said to Li Shimin: "This is the fault of my son and minister, and I hope that the father will not be angry. If you get angry, you will be a son." Your minister's great crime."

Li Shimin didn't bother to get angry with Li Ke anymore, he waved his hand to signal Li Ke to get up, and asked, "What do you plan to do about this matter? You must give an explanation to the Crown Princess."

Li Shimin didn't know that Wu Shun was actually sent to Li Ke by Wu Meiniang, and he only thought that Wu Shun was provoked by Li Ke himself, so he said this.

Naturally, Li Ke would not explain to Li Shimin exactly what happened. Now that Li Shimin had said so, Li Ke also continued: "Of course the Crown Princess' explanation is necessary."

Li Shimin asked, "What about Wushun?"

Li Ke bit the bullet and replied, "My minister Wu Shun wants it too."

Li Shimin listened to Li Ke's words, saw Li Ke's boastful appearance, picked up the memorial in his hand and almost threw it at Li Ke.

Li Shimin was amused by Li Ke, pointed at Li Ke and said: "You are so bold, you don't think too much, what do courtiers and outsiders think of you doing this?"

Li Ke said: "This matter is regarded as my son's family matter. My son should try to deal with this matter properly. If it fails, I will ask my father for advice."

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and said: "You are the prince, this is your family matter, and it is even more of a state matter. Being a father is the head of a family and the head of a country. Since you want both, then this matter is for you as a father." How about doing it according to what you want as a father?"

When Li Ke heard the words, he immediately responded, "I am willing to obey what my father said."
