"Okay! Then I'll say it!" Qin Mubai said, "Although the emperor is wise and powerful and a wise king through the ages, he also has the character of an ordinary person. For example, he also wants to be a good father, so he especially hopes that his children can
Healthy, happy, and living in harmony with each other. On this point, your highness, do you agree with me?"
"That's right." Li Ke nodded, "Ever since I was very young, I have always felt that although my father had many things to do, he would always find time to spend time with his family. We have many brothers and sisters, but he likes them all. And more than that.
He taught us once and for all that we should respect each other, love each other and live in harmony. Therefore, when he saw the prince and the king of Wei fighting for the throne, he was very angry and helpless. This is why, I don’t
The reason why I dare to report this matter so easily. That would make my father think that I am also intentionally attacking the prince and coveting the East Palace. That would violate his taboo!"
"Your Highness is indeed wise! It seems that what I said to you is not in vain." Qin Mubai said, "Forgive me for saying something that is disrespectful to the world. Ever since the Xuanwu Gate incident, there has been a shadow in His Majesty's heart.
. He is afraid that his sons will fight each other endlessly and eventually cause a murder. He is also afraid that one day he will be like Emperor Gaozu and be forced to give up his throne and be detained in the harem... Your Highness, these words are enough to get me killed.
It's over. But tell the truth, what I said...is that right?"
Li Ke took a long breath and nodded heavily: "I don't deny that what you said is probably right. When we were young, if there were disputes and fights between our brothers, our father would always reprimand us very severely. He
It’s what he resents and even hates the most!”
"So, you must not report the Jiangzhou case to the emperor personally!" Qin Mubai said categorically, "On the surface, you are loyal to your duties and selfless, but in fact, you will leave a very important mark in the emperor's mind.
A bad impression. Now in the emperor's mind, there is no crime more serious than his sons attacking each other and killing each other! In comparison, although the Jiangzhou case can also be described as 'shocking', to you, King Wu,
It’s actually a small thing.”
"Well said. But, do I really condone these evil officials in Jiangzhou, let these wronged souls get their blood, and let the wealth of the Tang Dynasty flow endlessly into their pockets?" Li
Ke was a little angry.
"Of course not. Your Highness, do you think that I, Mr. Qin, have no sense of justice and am no better than a pig or a dog? I wish I could chop off the heads of these beasts with my own hands!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be impatient. This matter may not necessarily require you to report it in person in order for the Emperor to know about it."
"What?" Li Ke was suddenly startled, then his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he suddenly smiled knowingly, "Mu Bai, you are a very smart man!"
"It seems that Your Highness understands." Qin Mubai chuckled.
"Of course, we understand each other tacitly!" Li Ke laughed heartily, "In a few days, Quan Wanji will come back from Jiangzhou. At that time, if you investigate the case thoroughly with him, I will
I shouldn’t ask him in front of me. Then, I hid it from the emperor and refused to report it. With my powerful character, I will definitely not agree. He will report it to the emperor without my asking!"
"Your Highness is wise." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "In this way, you will be guilty of 'covering and conniving' on the surface. The emperor may punish you, but he will definitely appreciate you in his heart. At that time, the emperor will think that you are guilty of something.
He didn't want to betray the prince out of brotherly love, or he didn't dare to report it because he was too sensitive and was afraid of getting into trouble. No matter what, it was a good thing. It was always better than fighting over each other with sharp edges. In fact, he had such a heart.
Ming Jing, since I have long thought that the Jiangzhou case may be related to the prince, and I have sent you here, it may be that I intend to investigate you. Your Highness, you must be careful when passing this level!"
"Mu Bai, you are really my wise man!" Li Ke grabbed Qin Mubai's hand with excitement and smiled gratefully, "The one who knows me is Mu Bai! The one who helps me is Mu Bai! I have Mu...
