Datang all-rounder

Chapter 103

After Wang Ke finished her messy affairs, she finally remembered that she should go to Comrade Li Er to ask where she belonged, and whether she was still in the right guard.

It was past noon that day, and Wang Ke lazily got up, intending to find Comrade Li Er after dinner, but before he finished his meal, Comrade Li Er had already sent someone to look for him.

Wang Ke hastily squeezed a few bites into his mouth, then got up and ran to the palace. He didn't know why Comrade Li Er remembered to look for him today.

When he came to the imperial study room, Wang Ke saw Comrade Li Er alone, sitting at the table looking at what, Wang Ke hurried forward to salute.

Comrade Li Er pointed to the chair next to him, and said to Wang Ke: "Sit down. I have nothing to do today. I want to talk to you."

Wang Ke didn't know what Comrade Li Er's plan was, but looking at the situation in front of him, nothing happened, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He sat down obediently, but he was not as steady as before. He just put half of his butt on the chair Just go up.

Comrade Li Er didn't pay attention to Wang Ke's appearance, put away all the things spread in front of him, and then said slowly: "Boy of the Wang family, how are my two princesses at your house?"

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Comrade Li Er asked the princess, and thought to himself: "Isn't he running to the palace every day? Why are you still asking me?"

He hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, it's okay."

Comrade Li Er nodded and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that Comrade Li Er was very different today than usual, Wang Ke couldn't help but feel nervous, so he had no choice but to look at Comrade Li Er and dare not say a word.

Comrade Li Er sighed and said: "Boy of the Wang family, put aside the relationship between our monarch and minister, you are my son-in-law, you should not oppose me!"

Hearing what Comrade Li Er said, Wang Ke slipped out of the chair in fright, knelt on the ground and said, "What did the emperor say, the boy has never thought of going against the emperor, and I don't dare to have such a heart. "

Seeing Wang Ke like this, Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said, "Sit up and talk, I'm just talking like this, I don't mean to blame you."

Wang Ke wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said in his heart: "You talk about it casually, but it scares me a lot."

After Wang Ke sat back on the chair, Comrade Li Er said again: "Today we will put aside the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, and close the door as a family without talking about the two families. If you have anything to say, don't have any worries. You see How about it?"

It was only then that Wang Ke realized that Comrade Li Er wanted to take his own words, and those remarks just now were all to give him a blow.

Wang Ke's courage came up again, and he said to Comrade Li Er's words: "Just say what the emperor has, and the boy must say what you have, and there will never be a trace of concealment."

Comrade Li Er nodded in satisfaction, looked at Wang Ke and asked, "Okay, today I will open the door and chat with you to see if you are really just thinking about me, rather than having any small plans of your own."

Wang Ke understood that this should come sooner or later, and it was better to come sooner than later, and now this moment has finally come.

But what Wang Ke didn't know was that Comrade Li Er wanted to know something from him, and he couldn't explain some things clearly.

Wang Ke quietly looked at Comrade Li Er to see what he was about to ask.

Comrade Li Er thought for a while and said, "Boy, there are a few questions that I don't understand, so please talk to me first."

Wang Ke stood up, cupped his fists on his chest and said, "If there is anything the emperor doesn't understand, just ask."

Comrade Li Er nodded and said: "I still remember, boy, in the article on the reform of the military system, there is an item saying that I should call all the vassal kings who have been entrusted in various places back to Chang'an to live in. I don't know why this is the case."

As soon as Wang Ke recalled it, he also remembered that Comrade Li Er had already done all the things written in his statement except this one, but this one had not been implemented for a long time.I didn't pay attention to this matter on weekdays, and if Comrade Li Er didn't bring it up today, I really forgot about it.

Wang Ke straightened his thoughts and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I just made this suggestion when I thought about it. The reason is very simple, it is to allow the court to have more land for tax collection."

"Is it really that simple?" Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke suspiciously and asked.

Wang Ke was heartbroken, and said: "Your Majesty, if you say it's just that simple, it's really not. This is just a little measure that I will take first in the future."

Comrade Li Er became a little curious. He leaned on the imperial case, looked at Wang Ke and asked, "My boy, be careful. Let me hear what you think."

Anyway, Wang Ke was willing to go all out, and anyway, he had already spoken, so he just said it cleanly, so as not to worry about it in the future.

Wang Ke stood up again, went to the middle and knelt down on the ground, and said: "If you say something that makes the emperor unhappy, please don't blame the minister, let alone chop off the minister's head, so as not to make the princess sad."

Wang Ke gave Comrade Li Er an injection first, and carried the princess out, lest what he said would annoy Comrade Li Er and kill him.

Comrade Li Er said impatiently: "Just talk about it, I have already said it, today we are just chatting."

Wang Ke then said: "Your majesty, your wisdom can make all the officials of the imperial court and the vassal princes in various places surrender, and only you can let them do what they do, and they don't dare to have any ideas. Now I The establishment of the dynasty is still short, and the vassal king's power is not yet strong. With the emperor suppressing him, no one dares to do anything. I think. And at that time, the power of the vassal kings has also become stronger, and it is not impossible for a situation like the Han Dynasty to reappear."

Comrade Li Er began to hear Wang Ke's words, and he was a little leisurely, but after hearing it, his face also became serious.

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "The emperor once said that with copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. This history cannot be repeated."

Comrade Li Er was stunned, and said blankly: "Did I say this? Why don't I remember!"

Wang Ke choked. He only knew that Comrade Li Er said this, but he didn't know when he said it. Now that he had said it, of course he had to bite his tongue and say what he said.

Wang Ke said solemnly: "Of course the emperor said it, how could it be false!"

Of course, Comrade Li Er would not mind saying that he said it. Seeing that Wang Ke was so sure, he stopped asking.

Thinking about what Wang Ke said just now, Comrade Li Er said: "You are right. No one can tell the heart of this person. It is better to be prepared early. But I have to think about it. This matter cannot be decided lightly, and it has to be discussed in the long run. .”

Wang Ke quickly agreed: "The emperor is wise, everything is under the emperor's control."

Comrade Li Er waved his hand and said: "Don't flatter me, I know you are not a fuel-efficient lamp. You argued with the prince that day, do you think I didn't understand? You deliberately provoked the prince to get angry. There were so many people at that time, I didn't want to be there Nanping and Lanling refuted your face. Tell me, why did you do this?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ke thought, "It's bad, I've done too much, and I've been seen."

Wang Ke knelt down again, and said repeatedly: "The emperor has wronged me as a minister. I really don't have any other intentions, but seeing His Royal Highness say such words, I can't help but feel a little bit aggrieved, so I didn't think about it carefully. You made the prince anxious. Please punish the emperor!"

After speaking, he sneaked a look at Comrade Li Er's reaction. He wanted to see if Comrade Li Er was still suspicious of what he said, because he couldn't tell his true intentions.

Seeing that Comrade Li Er's face softened, Wang Ke understood in his heart what he said, and Comrade Li Er had already expected to believe it, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I just felt that in the eyes of the crown prince, he looked down on ordinary people very much. It also goes against the emperor's thoughts all along, all..."

Comrade Li Er asked strangely: "Is it against my thinking? What did I say again?"

When Wang Ke heard it, she said inwardly, "Okay, I'll take what I know, a few famous sayings you said, and shake them out today."

Wang Ke stood up, put his hands behind his back and said: "That day, the emperor chatted with his ministers. The emperor once said that the people are water; the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The prince will Those who inherit the great line cannot have the mind of an emperor, so all the ministers couldn't hold back for a moment and said those words."

After Wang Ke finished speaking, she pretended to be regretful, and stood there with her head down, but her eyes rolled around, watching Comrade Li Er's reaction.

Comrade Li Er was really stunned now, he really couldn't remember when he said such a thing.But these words did make him sound like his own tone, but he didn't have the slightest impression.Comrade Li Er stared blankly at Wang Ke, not knowing why he had said so many things like this to him.

Seeing Comrade Li Er's expression, Wang Ke knew that Comrade Li Er's famous saying he said was not what he said now, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, you take care of everything every day, and what you said I can’t remember, it’s a very normal thing. In your heart, you pretend to be people’s livelihood. Of course, you will forget if you say this. But the minister is different. What the emperor said is very inspiring to the minister, so I just I remember it clearly."

Comrade Li Er found this explanation very reasonable, nodded and said: "Yes, I am busy with affairs in the court, so I can't remember this much. Fortunately, you remember, very good!"

Seeing that Comrade Li Er believed his words, Wang Ke felt relieved and went back to his seat to sit down. This time he sat down very firmly and leaned his back on the back of the chair.

Comrade Li Er was told by Wang Ke just now, he also forgot what he wanted to ask Wang Ke, and he didn't think about it after thinking about it, so he had to stop thinking about it, and decided when he would think about it in the future, and then asked Wang Ke to ask that is.

So he said to Wang Ke: "Boy, you are my son-in-law, and I still believe that you are thinking of the court and me. If you want to talk about anything in the future, just come and talk to me. I still count on you Come up with some good ideas."

Wang Ke didn't know Comrade Li Er's intentions. Seeing Comrade Li Er say this to himself, he thought that Comrade Li Er no longer had any opinions on him. Do your best to serve the court."

Speaking of this, Wang Ke suddenly remembered that he still had something to ask Comrade Li Er, so he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, I heard from Uncle Li Jing that he was going to transfer me to the staff department. .Is that minister still in the right guard?"

Comrade Li Er replied: "That's right, I deleted your name. I haven't figured it out yet. In the end, where is the best place to put you. After I have figured it out, I can arrange you. As for the right guard There, you are just a name, so let's hang on first."

Seeing that Comrade Li Er had said this, Wang Ke had no choice but to nod in agreement and dare not say anything more.
