Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

When the four of them came to the study, Li Ke said solemnly, "What do you think about Hou Ruoyi's betrothal to the prince this time?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Ma Zhou and the others were still wondering whether Li Ke had really recovered from the Hou Ruoyi incident.Therefore, they did not understand what Li Ke meant at this time.

"Changsun Wuji is so deliberate and wants to put this king to death, can this king just sit and wait to be slaughtered?" Li Ke's tone was stern and his expression was gloomy. He had recovered from the blow of this incident, and he had seen Clear the current form.So, he doesn't want to keep silent anymore, he doesn't want to tolerate anymore, he wants to fight back.

"Your Highness, the marriage between Hou Ruoyi and the crown prince can be planned so carefully in such a short period of time, it can be seen that Changsun Wuji had already planned it when His Highness and Hou Ruoyi knew each other." Ma Zhou looked at Li Ke and said to himself During the marriage between Hou Ruoyi and the prince, Li Ke's face did not change, and there was no expression of pain or anger. He believed that Li Ke had really recovered from the blow of this incident, so he said unabashedly, "And the court There are probably not a few Chinese ministers who support him, otherwise it would not be difficult to handle this matter with his ability, but it is not easy to calmly handle the matter of the prince's wedding in just one month. So "Ma Zhou After analyzing this point, Li Ke knew what he wanted to say, "So, this matter was planned by Changsun Wuji, but there were many people involved in it. Empress Changsun, who is the birth mother of the prince, must have participated in it, and Hou Jun Ji is Hou Ruoyi's biological father, how can he get away with it now?"

"What King Bin said makes sense," Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Ke, and continued to add to Ma Zhou's analysis, "Hou Ruoyi met His Highness, Hou Junji himself not only did not object when he knew about this matter, but supported Hou Ruoyi Associating with His Highness, and wanting to form an alliance with His Highness, although he is Hou Ruoyi's biological father, it cannot be ruled out that he has other plans. Then what is his purpose? If he wants to marry Changsun Wuji, how can he Hou Ruoyi was betrothed to the crown prince after His Highness met Hou Ruoyi, how could he marry Changsun Wuji after His Highness knew Hou Ruoyi?"

"What does the Zhaoyan family mean?" Li Ke's eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought, and there must be secrets or conspiracy behind it that he didn't know.

"The crown prince's position today is due to the elder grandson Wuji. It is because Hou Junji wanted to join his son through marriage. His position in the crown prince's heart will never be comparable to that of the eldest grandson Wuji. No matter how great his contribution is, he can't take the place of Changsun Wuji. Therefore, if he doesn't want to betroth Hou Ruoyi to the crown prince, even if the emperor decrees, he can wait ten days and a half months for His Highness to come back. How can this be the case? He readily agreed to the prince's marriage, accepted the dowry in such a short period of time, and set a date for the big wedding? Therefore, Weichen thinks that the reason why Hou Junji agreed to the marriage so simply must have nothing to do with his eldest grandson. Do not have a certain aspect of the transaction."

"The Yan family's analysis is good. Hou Junji is quite resourceful, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary generals. Since he deliberately wanted to form an alliance with His Highness, it can be seen that he is quite ambitious, and he is definitely not a generation who is willing to be inferior. So You can also imagine what the Yan family said about Hou Junji just now, that is, no matter how much credit he makes to the prince in the future, he will not be able to replace Changsun Wuji's position. Therefore, the relationship between him and Changsun Wuji is due to Hou Ruoyi The deal reached with the prince's marriage may reveal clues in his and Changsun Wuji's future official careers. The two of them form an alliance based on their own interests, but such an alliance will be based on the differences between the two interests. The balance was broken," Ma Zhou continued, "Since Your Highness wants to take action, why not wait until the alliance between them is broken?"

"Well, what King Bin said makes sense." Liu Rengui who hadn't spoken for a while said suddenly, "Your Highness, the last general also agrees with King Bin's point of view."

After listening to the analysis of Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong, Li Ke understood the key point.Indeed, as analyzed by Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong, both Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji are people who are unwilling to be inferior to others. They form an alliance at this time because of their own interests. If friction occurs, there will definitely be cracks in the alliance. At that time, if you take action yourself, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.However, Li Ke was insulted and tortured by Changsun Wuji for using the woman he liked as a pawn in his strategy. He could not tolerate Changsun Wuji's unscrupulous use of conspiracy methods against him.Therefore, it was somewhat difficult for him to accept Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui's persuasion, so he turned his attention to Xu Jingzong to see his opinion, "What does the Yan family mean?"

"Your Highness, if you can't bear it for a little bit, you can make big plans," Xu Jingzong advised, "It is very difficult to hit Changsun Wuji's arrogance severely with our current strength. If it is just a small fight, It will not shake the foundation of Changsun Wuji at all, but he will be on guard against him, making it even more difficult for us to think about it in the future. Therefore, what I mean is that Your Highness, why don't you learn from Goujian, the king of Yue, and wait for the opportunity with a weak eye Woolen cloth?"

After listening to Xu Jingzong's words, Li Ke remained silent.Ma Zhou is a famous minister of Zhenguan, with profound talents and knowledge. He has a unique vision when he sees problems, and analyzes the problems to the point. He told Li Ke that Sun Wuji and Hou Junji would have a rift because of their interests. Li Ke definitely believed it.And Xu Jingzong is very talented. In history, he joined hands with ceremonial clothes and moved to Changsun Wuji, so Li Ke had to listen to his analysis of Changsun Wuji.Li Ke is not a person who insists on going his own way. After hearing the advice of the two think tanks around him and Liu Rengui, he adopted their suggestions, but at the same time he was very conflicted in his heart. He also wanted not to affect the overall situation that Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong had planned with him because of his actions.

Although Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong appeared calm, they were very nervous, for fear that Li Ke would not listen to their advice and go his own way.And Liu Rengui understood from the analysis of Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong what kind of consequences Li Ke would have on him in the future if he took action against Changsun Wuji at this moment, so he also had no unnecessary changes on his face, but he was also very nervous.

"Hey, that's the end of this matter." Li Ke sighed, "Since all three of you said that, then this king will hold back for the time being."

"Your Highness is wise," the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after Li Ke finished speaking, and at the same time, Ma Zhou flattered Li Ke appropriately.

"But" as soon as Ma Zhou's flattery was finished, he heard Li Ke showing a majestic look on the road, and said in a firm tone that could not be refuted, "There is one thing I must do, that is, you stop me, me It won’t stop there either.”

The three of them listened to what Li Ke said was so serious, and their expressions became very serious after they relaxed. It was Ma Zhou who calmed down his mind first and asked, "I don't know what His Highness is talking about?"

Seeing the serious reactions of the three, Li Ke knew that they were frightened by the tone of what he just said.He restrained his domineering slightly, smiled, and slowly said what he wanted to do.After listening to Li Ke's statement, Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong, and Liu Rengui took a look at each of them and then fell silent. They knew that since Li Ke had said just now, they would not stop even if they stopped them.Therefore, they knew that dissuading Li Ke on this matter would definitely have no effect, so why not come up with a proper solution for him instead of dissuading him?All three of them fell into deep thought because they had such thoughts.

After a while, when Li Ke opened the "Analects of Confucius" on the desk, Ma Zhou seemed to have a plan. He coughed, and then told Li Ke exactly what his plan was.After Ma Zhou finished speaking, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui put forward some supplementary opinions of their own, and Li Ke couldn't help but nodded.When Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, and Xu Jingzong planned the matter carefully, a smile finally appeared on Li Ke's face.

When Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, and Xu Jingzong saw Li Ke's weird smile in the study room under the afterglow of the setting sun, they felt that Li Ke had already made up their minds, and their thinking and strategies were just to test the teachings. Just a few people.

Changsun Bingning, who returned to Changsun's mansion, was still thinking about what Li Ke said to her at the gate of the city, "I'll wait for you at Hanwang's mansion." At that time, when Li Ke said this, although his tone was mixed with Dissatisfied with her hesitation, but she can see from Li Ke's expression when he said this to her that Li Ke has made up his mind when dealing with her and her feelings.Then, she thought of what Li Ke said to her on the bridge, "The spark in your eyes once made me ecstasy, but your sincerity now makes me no longer hesitate for love. Bing Ning, if you believe me, I will definitely use the accumulated feelings to turn into the affectionate gaze at that moment, and I will always hide you in my heart, and will not let anyone hurt you again."

Li Ke's affectionate confession was like a sharp knife piercing her chest, digging out her heart, and then putting his heart on her.After Li Ke finished that sentence, she only had him in her heart.

"Bing Ning once left and traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River. However, since I met you, I found that you are the warmest dawn in my life for more than ten years. Even if you will be gray-haired in a few years, I would also like to follow you, turn into the sunset together, and never leave." Changsun Bingning thought of Li Ke's confession to her on the bridge, and at the same time softly recited her own confession to Li Ke on the bridge.The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the window, and then reflected on the bright and clean face of Changsun Bingning. When she softly recited her confession to Li Ke, her eyes became hot, as if Li Ke was right in front of her eyes Same.

In a few moments, her gaze changed from hot to cold, and then hardened, and finally her eyes showed a firm look, and she secretly said, "Your Highness, Bing Ning said that she would never leave you, and would follow you for the rest of her life." I." After saying this, Changsun Bingning left his room and left the Changsun's mansion.
