Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Li Shimin handed over the full authority of the case to Li Ke, and asked Wei Zheng and Dali Temple to assist him. This order obviously caught many people by surprise, especially Prince Li Chengqian and Qi Wang Li You couldn't believe that Li Shimin would make such a decision. The three people like Liu Zhenghui, Li Xiaogong and Wang were also puzzled. They were all wondering why Wei Zheng and Dali Temple were allowed to assist Li Ke and not the three of them.

It's just that compared to Li You's panic and uneasiness, Li Chengqian is much calmer. At least he still has a deal with Li Ke. As long as he doesn't violate the deal, he thinks that Li Ke won't cause any trouble to him. !.Therefore, when he heard of Li Shimin's appointment, he immediately ordered the crown princess Su Juan to contact Li Ke, express his attitude to Li Ke, and definitely let Li Shimin resolve the marriage contract between him and Hou Ruoyi.

In the Palace of the King of Han, Li Ke was also taken aback when he heard Li Shimin's appointment. He himself did not expect that Li Shimin would give him such an appointment.

Could it be that there is another deep meaning in this?Li Ke took the edict sent by Wang De, glanced at the appointment, and lowered his head in thought.

"Your Highness, the old slave will take his leave first!" Seeing Li Ke bowing his head in thought, Wang De knew it was inconvenient to disturb him at this time, so he bowed and said.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, please do yourself, Eunuch Wang!" Li Ke said politely as it was inconvenient for him to get too close to Wang De at this time.

Wang De left, Li Ke returned to the room, and Yang En went forward and said, "Your Highness, this old slave is here to congratulate His Highness. Not only has His Highness been cleared of the crime, but he has also been appointed by the Emperor to be the presiding judge of this case. This is His Highness's great show." It's time for skill!"

"Old Yang, the matter is not as simple as you think!" Li Ke did not hide his doubts, and retorted, "There seems to be nothing wrong with the imperial father's decree, but there must be another mystery in it."

"En!" Yang En nodded in agreement, "This old slave also thinks that the emperor's will is a bit strange, and after hearing what His Highness said, this old slave must have other intentions, but I don't know what the Emperor wants to tell His Highness. ?”

Li Ke didn't answer Yang En's words, but read the appointment edict again, and Yang En didn't speak, but bowed out of the room.After a while, Yang En brought a pot of tea to Li Ke. Li Ke took a sip of the tea and said to Yang En with a smile on his face, "I don't know how much Elder Yang knows about Father?"

"Why does Your Highness ask such a question?" Yang En didn't understand why Li Ke suddenly asked this question, and he didn't dare to ask it seriously.

"Father appointed me to be in charge of this case, obviously to show his love for me, but on another level, I just want to test me." Li Ke said, "Mr. Yang must know that my father asked Wei Zheng and others about this case. People have spoken, he said he wants the result rather than the process."

"Old slave remembers!" Yang En replied.

"This king realized his true intentions for this king's will from what he said. Wei Zheng and others are officials of the Tang Dynasty. His father asked them to investigate the case. He really wants to know the result and doesn't want to care about the process. But," Li Ke continued after a pause, "as the son of the emperor, will he still use the standard of Wei Zheng and others to measure this king? Will he only value the final result of the case? No The reason he appointed me to be in charge of this case is just to watch the process, and to test my king's mind through handling this case."

"Your Highness means that the Emperor wants to test you by asking you to find out the case?" Yang En asked puzzled, it was the first time he heard Li Ke say such a serious matter.

"That's right! That's what my father meant. You think that this king has been framed and wronged by others from the beginning to the end of this case, and the case has been developed until today and the charges have finally been cleared. So what will this king think? Isn't it true? Resentment, is there no anger? Just imagine letting this king take over this case at this time, what will happen?" Li Ke said here, paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "That's why the emperor appointed I am in charge of this case. For him, the result of the case is not important. What is important is that he wants to test whether the king will avenge his private revenge publicly through this case, and whether he will punish others for committing brotherly murder when it is beneficial to him. .”

After Li Ke finished speaking, Yang En gasped.Just now when Li Ke asked him how much he knew about Li Shimin, he felt very strange, wondering why Li Ke would suddenly ask him this question.Now after Li Ke's analysis, he finally understood why he asked him this question just now, because Li Shimin was too scary and courageous, in order to test Li Ke, he did not hesitate to use such a major case as the object of testing Li Ke , if Li Ke really wants to use this case to do something, it is not impossible.But at the same time, it also illustrates a problem, that is, Li Shimin's high hopes for Li Ke. As the saying goes, love is deep and hate is deep. Li Shimin means that the more he expects from Li Ke, the more he wants to test him in all aspects.

And just when Li Ke and Yang En were silent in the room, there was a report from the Yingwei outside the door, saying that the waiter Cen Wenwen and the secret Lang Chu Suiliang sent letters.Li Ke ordered Yingwei to bring the letter into the room, and took the letters from Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang from Yingwei. Li Ke quickly opened the two letters. To describe it in one word, both of their letters only wrote one word "tolerance".

Li Ke silently stared at the two characters "forbearance" in front of him, admiring the talents of Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang in his heart.The "forbearance" in their letters is very consistent with the test they think Li Shimin puts on him.Both of them thought that Li Shimin wanted to test themselves, so they used this word to tell themselves the meaning.

"Mr. Yang, should you see the meaning of Mr. and Teacher?" Li Ke said indifferently, "Many unrivaled heroes have not learned the word 'forbearance' so that they will fall to the point where their families are ruined and their wives and children are separated. Mr. and Teacher's The meaning is to let the king endure this bad breath this time, and don't attack anyone, and what they really want to say is what I just said, the father will use this to test the king."

"Since this is the case, has His Highness already thought of a countermeasure?" Yang En pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Emperor has appointed His Highness to be in charge of this case, if His Highness does not find out something, it will be difficult to explain in front of the Emperor, but this investigation Many problems will definitely be found out, and many people will be involved!"

"Old Yang is right. This is the crux of the problem. The emperor wants to test the king's mind, but why not test the king's way of doing things and his ability to do things?" Li Ke said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Li Ke said again, "Old Yang, tell Chen Qi to prepare a car, the king is going to Dali Temple!"

"No!" Yang En didn't dare to neglect, and bowed to accept the order!
