Datang all-rounder

Chapter 161

After working for countless days, until the last guest left and went out, Wang Ke slumped on his seat. He didn't know where Li Ke got such energy, and almost invited all the ministers, big and small, from the court.

I remembered that when the three people discussed before, they decided on the main people, such as Comrade Li Er, Empress Changsun, and Nanping's mother-in-law Shugui Concubine.

For ordinary people, Wang Ke’s opinion is that if you can’t invite them, you can’t invite them, but Wang Si is very interested, and he told Li Ke to invite anyone who can, and the result is that the people who came made the whole palace busy for five days. Come get ready.Wang Ke has been wondering whether his family bought all the vegetables in Chang'an City.

But it was really hard for Wang Ke to speak to Li Ke, because he had seen it too. For this matter, Li Ke ran back and forth, but he never stopped. So many people came today, and he was the one who made a fuss.

Even when Comrade Li Er brought Empress Changsun and Nanping's mother-in-law Concubine Shu over, he half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Wang Si: "I'm more familiar with running your family than running in the palace. If you don't know, you really think It's Wang Qing, your son!"

Of course, Wang Si, an old fox, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he immediately praised Li Ke, which made Comrade Li Er smile so much that he probably forgot what he said just now.

Now that he is done with work, Wang Ke can be regarded as heaving a sigh of relief. He only feels tired now, and he doesn't want to do anything. He just wants to lie on the bed and have a good rest, but Li Ke will not give this small request. his!
Seeing Li Ke walking in front of him with a notebook in his hand, Wang Ke knew without asking that this must be the gift money record with the name of the gift-giving official written on it.

I only heard Li Ke say to himself: "I said, Brother Wang, do you know how many ministers of the court came to support you? You have enough face, except for two of the invitations, the others did not come. Everyone has come, and many people who have not sent invitations have come. I took a general look, and I don’t know the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty. The capitals of the ten cities have come, and there are quite a lot of people in this thick book!"

Wang Ke slumped on the chair, waved his right hand up feebly and said: "It's not because of your highness, King Wu, who dares not come if you come out to treat guests."

Li Ke shook his head and said: "Brother Wang's words are wrong. If it's all for my face, then those who didn't invite came on their own initiative, so what's the matter? Besides, it's not that there are still some people who invited Didn't come?"

In fact, Wang Ke was not interested in how many people came or who came, and he didn't want to remember these names.One is that there are too many people and I can’t remember; the other is that many people, not to mention myself, even my father, Wang Si, said that they have never met.For such a person, how do you tell Wang Ke to remember? Zhu Wang Ke has already thought about it. As long as anyone invites him to a banquet in the future, he will use this account as a reference. If there is a name on it, he will go by himself. No matter how big an official is, I don't like him.

But Wang Ke sent invitations to himself, but those who didn't come were very interested.

Sitting upright, Wang Ke looked up at Li Ke and asked, "Who is it, who didn't come after sending the post? Even the emperor came, and he dared not come, who is so bold!"

Li Ke said with a wicked smile: "You really didn't think of it?"

Wang Ke is too tired to sit still now, how could he have the heart to play poor with Li Ke, frowned and said: "Just tell me, I am so tired that I can hardly get up now, how can I have the time to go to bed?" Guess who didn't come!"

Li Ke laughed a few times before saying, "Who else is there, Prince! Last time you scolded him, you had a problem with you in your heart; later you recommended him to patrol the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the father, come back It’s okay to drop your voice, can he not put all these accounts on your head? Of course he won’t come if you treat him this time.”

Wang Ke thought about it carefully, he did not see the prince at the banquet, but because there were too many people and he supported him everywhere, he didn't care, and this is indeed the case when he thinks about it.

Wang Ke forced himself to sit upright, pointed at Li Jinben and asked, "You read it, is there anything from the crown prince here?"

What Wang Ke thought was that as long as the crown prince gave him something, he would stop thinking about it, and his attitude towards the crown prince would just go with the flow, and after Comrade Li Er abolished him, he would help Li Ke go. Compete with Li Zhi for the crown prince.

Li Ke didn't know what Wang Ke was thinking, but Li Ke was very uncomfortable because of the prince's attitude towards them in the past. Last time he saw Wang Ke clean up the prince, he felt that he, his highnesses and princesses had given him a sigh of relief. , So this is why I also want to provoke the relationship, so that Wang Ke can clean up the prince again when he has the opportunity in the future, and relieve himself and his brothers and sisters again.

Li Ke raised the gift book in his hand and said: "Just think of good things. The crown prince wants to send congratulatory gifts, but others don't know. Father and emperor are here. If he only sends congratulatory gifts, isn't he afraid that his father will scold him?" ?”

Wang Ke thinks about it too. When the congratulatory gift is delivered, it is necessary to sing. If the prince does not come, the congratulatory gift is delivered. Comrade Li Er heard the singing. If Comrade Li Er thinks that the prince is coming, he must call Wouldn't it be troublesome to talk to him?If this person does not come, there will be no congratulatory gifts, and a lot of trouble will be saved.If Comrade Li Er thinks about it again after the matter is over, he will say that he has forgotten it and add another gift, that's it, and there will be no danger of being scolded.

After Wang Ke figured this out, he asked again: "Who is the other one?"

"Left Guard Commander Hou Junji Hou Shuai." Li Ke didn't hold back this time, and said it directly.

Wang Ke was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect it to be this person, and it is said that he has no problem with him.

Wang Ke couldn't figure it out, so she had to ask, "Why? Why didn't he come?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "He's still here. You've done him a disservice, can he still come?"

Wang Ke was surprised, he didn't know where Li Ke started to say this, and why he told him to make Hou Junji miserable!

Wang Ke asked with a puzzled look: "When did I ever hurt him! Why don't I have any impression?"

Li Ke laughed loudly, and said after laughing: "Brother Wang forgot, the last time Father came to your house, there was no left guard outside the door, right?"

Wang Ke said blankly: "Remember, didn't you ask clearly about that matter? It was the officer on duty of the left guard that day passed the order privately, and Hou Shuai didn't know about it? That officer has already dealt with it. Why do you want me to harm Hou Shuai?" Well. You were there at the time, didn’t I say something nice for him?”

Li Ke shook his head and said with regret: "Brother Wang, you only know one thing, not the other. That's right, what you said is true, but you don't know that after the matter is settled, the father will Did you just call Hou Shuai to the Imperial Study Room and talk about it? Father and Emperor scolded him for not being strict with the army, and there was an incident of privately passing on military orders, so he should reflect on himself!"

Wang Ke still didn't understand, and continued: "What does this have to do with me? It's because he doesn't manage the army strictly. Why is it on me again!"

Li Ke still shook his head and said: "Brother Wang, brother Wang, why are you so confused today? Where did your usual cleverness go? Didn't Hou Shuai know what happened at that time? The left guard was killed by you Didn't you reprimand those soldiers and tell him what happened at that time?"

Li Ke's series of questions made Wang Ke's mind clear up in an instant.Hou Junji thought that he was playing tricks on him, which caused him to be scolded by Comrade Li Er, so he held a grudge.

Wang Ke asked Li Ke for confirmation of the results of his analysis, and Li Ke nodded and said: "That's it, now you have offended the prince, and you have offended a marshal of my Tang Dynasty, brother Wang, you will have a hard time in the future .”

Li Ke's words made Wang Ke feel cold. It would be very bad for the prince to offend him, but I have always thought of going against him, so I have never been afraid; but this Hou Junji also I offended myself for no reason, I was a little wronged when I thought about it, but now I have to stand on the opposite side with myself, it really makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Wang Ke felt a little indignant, she treated him with good intentions, but Hou Junji listened to one side's words, indiscriminately wanted to confront him.Hmph, if you don't let me hang around, then I will make you unable to hang out.Fight me without looking at who I am!

Thinking of this, Wang Ke felt a surge of pride in his heart, sat up straight at once, and said to Li Ke: "What's wrong, fight if you want, who am I afraid of? Let's see who can laugh and say the last !"

In fact, what Li Ke said just now was also a joke, but unexpectedly, it caused such a big reaction from Wang Ke, which made Li Ke secretly a little surprised.

But looking back, it was the same thing. Wang Ke even dared to say that the crown prince was just one more Hou Junji, so there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, Wang Ke was backed by Li Jing and the others.

Li Ke secretly decided that no matter what happens to Wang Ke in the future, he will stand by Wang Ke's side and help him, just like Wang Ke did for him before, because they are best friends!

Li Ke made up his mind, but he was still a little worried about Wang Ke.He didn't know what Wang Ke would do, although he wouldn't be afraid of Hou Junji, he could just ignore the prince.But this is because he and Wang Ke have different identities. When dealing with Hou Junji, he can use his status as a prince to suppress Hou Junji. But it is not enough.

And although Wang Ke is a son-in-law, there are quite a few consorts in the court. With Wang Ke's current status in the army, he is not at the same level as Hou Junji. With Wang Ke's support, it would be quite difficult to escape from the hands of the prince and Hou Junji without the support of Comrade Li Er.

Li Ke told Wang Ke about his worries, but Wang Ke smiled slightly and said, "I've thought about this issue a long time ago. If Hou Junji wants to make enemies with me, he must have already thought about it before. He won't refuse." Knowing the relationship between me and other commanders, he must find a backer. Who knows the relationship between me and the prince, I believe, he has already discussed it with the prince, this is just the first time they have joined forces That's all!"

When Li Ke heard Wang Ke's words, he couldn't help feeling even more anxious, because Wang Ke only knew that others had joined hands.Now if there is a real fight, Wang Ke has already lost one move.

Wang Ke still smiled and patted Li Ke on the shoulder to reassure him, saying that he would naturally have a way to deal with it, so Li Ke didn't have to worry.

Li Ke's confidence in Wang Ke was already very strong, and he was really tired today, so he didn't say much. After leaving Wang Ke, he wanted to go to his own house.But I still have time to think about it, so I must come.
