King Wu Li Ke, who came from Lizhou to pay homage to Li Shimin, planned to leave the capital and return to Lizhou with Concubine Yang, who had been promoted to concubine, before the imperial examination.
Changsun Wuji wrote a memorial, bringing the matter of Li Ke taking in the aging Cen Wenwen to the court. He asked Li Chengqian to ask the three ministers to interrogate and ask the King of Wu Li Ke's intentions, so as not to leave it to Jiangshan Sheji.
Hidden dangers.
As Changsun Wuji wished, Li Ke was invited to Dali Temple, and the person responsible for supervising the trial was not Changsun Wuji who recommended himself, but Fang Yiai and Li Zhi selected by Li Chengqian.
Although Changsun Wuji did not express any objection to Li Chengqian's decision, after going to court, he came to Fang Yiai and Li Zhi and said, "I also ask the King of Jin and Marquis An Ding to put the stability of the country first!"
"What does Changsun Sikong mean by this?" Li Zhi asked in confusion as he looked at Changsun Wuji's retreating figure.
Changsun Wuji's intention was simply to let Li Chengqian kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and to deter those who might have different intentions. The person he chose as the "chicken" to kill was King Wu Li Ke!
Since the death of the former Princess Wu Yang, and Princess Noya being promoted as the Princess of Wu, Li Ke's reputation has become much better than before, and his backyard and heirs are also in good shape.
Lizhou is far from Tuyuhun, whether it is close or far.
If they are intentional, it will naturally happen if the two want to communicate secretly.
Changsun Wuji's worry was simply that he was afraid that Wu King Li Ke would use his wife's relationship and the convenience of his territory to secretly communicate with Tuyuhun.
Then in the mountainous land of Lizhou, another King of Han will be raised!
Unlike Han King Li Yuanjing, who was forbearing, cunning and unable to control the overall situation, King Wu Li Ke was taught by a famous master since childhood. The person who taught him at an early age was Cen Wenwen, who even made the eldest grandson Wuji fearful.
Changsun Wuji, who had known Li Shimin since childhood, also knew that Li Ke, the king of Wu, who was evaluated by Li Shimin as "a hero similar to me", not only resembled Li Shimin in appearance. He also had many similarities in his temperament when he was young.
Changsun Wuji also knew that in the early years of Zhenguan, he looked at the prince Li Chengqian, who had not seen his father much since he was born. He looked a bit vindictive in front of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin once had the idea of changing the crown prince. The first choice at that time was not
The Li Tai whom Li Shimin and Empress Chang Sun loved was the King of Wu, Li Ke!
If he hadn't strongly opposed it at that time and brought out the Yang family who were unwilling to be destroyed by the previous dynasty, Changsun Wuji felt that according to Li Shimin's mood at the time, Li Chengqian's crown prince position would most likely fall to Wu King Li Ke.
Don't forget, at that time, Cen Wenwen was also considered a close minister of the emperor and an eloquent master.
Of course, this matter was only mentioned by Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji when they were chatting privately. It was not made public, and neither Cen Wenwen nor Li Ke knew about it.
If word of this incident had spread, given the strength of the Yang family at that time, it is hard to say how things would have developed later.
Although Li Chengqian successfully succeeded to the throne and took control of the court smoothly, Changsun Wuji was still worried about his wife, Wu Wang Li Ke, whose family was powerful.
In his opinion, the best and most reassuring way for the stability of the country and the safety of the people is to completely eliminate all possible unstable factors before they occur!
Undoubtedly, the death of King Wu Li Ke is the best solution in his opinion!
Even though the two sons of King Nuohebo of Tuyuhun have been raised to death.
Fang Yiai could understand Changsun Wuji's thoughts, but the results he sought from Li Ke were a bit too harsh.
Not to mention that Li Ke had given up fighting for the throne early on. The couple had no ambitions for power. Even if he had intentions, as long as Li Chengqian worked hard to govern, he might not be able to be intimidated...
Therefore, Changsun Wuji's intention to obliterate Li Ke's existence early is undoubtedly a manifestation of his lack of confidence in Li Chengqian.
The new emperor Li Chengqian is not the good old emperor Li Zhi who calmed down troubles in history. Therefore, even if he understands Changsun Wuji's thoughts, he is still dissatisfied with his arrangements. Otherwise, why would the lazy and troubled Fang Yiai and Li Zhi be left behind?
Supervisory review?
The smart Changsun Wuji understood this, so he did not return to Taiji Hall to ask for Li Chengqian after going to court, but instead reminded Fang Yiai and Li Zhi.
Although Changsun Wuji didn't agree with Li Chengqian's handling, he didn't want to give up his original plan. Therefore, without severing the relationship with Li Chengqian because of this matter, he could only make peace with Fang Yiai and Li Zhi.
People come to carry out the task of killing chickens to scare monkeys.
"Lizhou and Tuyuhun are too close, that's what it means." Fang Yiai said softly, looked back at Li Zhi, and walked out of the empty court.
Li Zhi was suddenly enlightened and quickly caught up with Fang Yiai, touched his nose, shook his head and said, "Brother Huang may not agree."
"If the emperor agrees with Lord Sikong's idea, the people who come to inspect the case in Dali Temple will not be you and me." Fang Yiai rolled his eyes at Li Zhi and said.
"Changsun Sikong, you may not be able to compromise easily on this kind of matter. Even if you compromise on the surface, privately..." Li Zhi said and sighed.
"That will be a headache for the Emperor and the Queen Mother." Fang Yiai shrugged his shoulders and said as if it had nothing to do with him.
"I hope he can listen to what the Queen Mother said." Li Zhi said.
"Let's go." Fang Yiai looked at the sky and said to Li Zhi, who was a little stunned.
"Where to go?" Li Zhi asked, walking side by side with Fang Yiai.
"The people from Dali Temple have probably gone to Prince Wu's Mansion to invite people by now. Of course we are going to Dali Temple to relax and wait for work. Since we have accepted the errand, we have to make a trip." Fang Yiai said.
Even if it is a common plain brocade white robe, Li Ke can still wear it with an elegance that cannot be ignored.
After spending several years leisurely among the mountains and rivers of Lizhou, I also gained a sense of leisure.
I have to say that after not seeing each other for so many years, Li Ke's eyes looked much more indifferent than when he left Beijing. His clear eyes were filled with wisdom and understanding that was used to seeing things in the world.
Looking at the polite attitude of the official who was brought in, and looking at Li Ke's neat appearance, Fang Yiai and Li Zhi looked at each other, and understood in their hearts that it must be the King of Wu and Li Ke who followed him obediently, and there was not much on either side.
A waste of words.
How could such a person have the intention to rebel? Fang Yiai and Li Zhi both had question marks in their hearts.
Is it true that Lizhou and Tuyuhun are too close to each other? Thinking of Fang Yiai's previous words, Li Zhi was filled with emotion.
Fang Yiai and Li Zhi greeted Li Ke in a friendly manner and asked why Cen Wenwen appeared at Prince Wu's Mansion in Lizhou.
After Cen Wenwen was demoted to a commoner and ordered never to be hired by Li Shimin, he wanted to return to his hometown with his family.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving Beijing, my wife fell ill because of the sadness of the death of her son, and passed away soon after.
The daughter-in-law was pregnant at the time, and she was tired enough to bear the news of her son's death. Then Mrs. Cen fell ill and passed away. Due to the sadness and fatigue, the daughter-in-law started the pregnancy in advance, which resulted in dystocia, and ended up with one body and two lives.
The son and daughter-in-law left behind two living grandsons and granddaughters. The teenage grandson couldn't bear the strange looks from others. After the funeral of the daughter-in-law, he disappeared.
The successive blows made Cen Wenwen almost collapse. If it weren't for the fact that he had a young granddaughter who had just become a director, Cen Wenwen might have gone with his wife at that time.
Cen Wenwen and his granddaughter depended on each other for life. After a long journey, they returned to their hometown. The old family had already received the letter and opened the ancestral hall that day, expelling Cen Wenwen and his family from the clan...
In anger, Cen Wenwen left his hometown with his young granddaughter. He wanted to go to the south, but he didn't want to. After several twists and turns, Cen Wenwen fell ill on the road.
Over the past few years, as the little granddaughter grew older, she also opened up a lot and developed into a little beautiful embryo.
For women who are unable to protect themselves, beauty is a fatal source of disaster!
The bullies in the small county bullied his grandfather and grandson into living alone. They threatened Cen Wenwen's life and raped his little granddaughter who had no ability to resist.
Not only did Cen Wenwen not pity Rouru's little granddaughter, he scolded her for losing her virginity. In despair, the little granddaughter threw herself into a well and died.
Cen Wenwen was so sad that he almost died of illness on the roadside.
Fortunately, someone close to Li Ke who knew Cen Wenwen passed by the place and overheard Cen Wenwen, who had a fever on the roadside, talking nonsense in his illness, and then recognized him.
Fortunately, I saved Cen Wenwen's life. I originally wanted to leave Cen Wenwen, who had caused trouble to the King of Wu, to the King of Wu until he returned to Lizhou.
Facing Cen Wenwen, who was waiting like a useless person, and thinking of his teachings back then, Li Ke sighed with emotion, and had Cen Wenwen sent to his village near Lizhou to help him take care of him in his old age.
, but I never saw him again.
"He has selfish motives and mistakes. Even if he has harmed me, I cannot deny his teachings. I cannot deny the fact that the Lord of Heaven and Earth is my teacher. I call him my teacher." After talking about Cen Wenwen's story, Li
Ke faced Fang Yiai and Li Zhi calmly and said, "For someone to support him, as far as I am concerned, even if I repay him for his teachings, it is also a good deed."
Fang Yiai nodded and said nothing. Li Zhi sat beside him indifferently.
After briefly asking some questions about Li Ke's daily habits, Fang Yiai and Li Zhi said goodbye to Li Ke.
Although Li Zhi and Li Ke were brothers, their friendship was just plain. After saying goodbye, they walked out without looking back.
"Actually, even if I hadn't asked someone to take Cen Wenwen in and the new emperor ascended the throne, I might not have been able to avoid prison." When Fang Yiai turned around, Li Ke said in a low voice.
Fang Yiai paused and looked back at Li Ke with a smile on his face, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.
Carrying Li Shimin's comment that "English and fruit are like me", regardless of whether he argued with him earlier or not, as long as the new emperor is not Li Ke, he will be scrutinized. The only difference is whether he can get out alive.
"Brother Huang is a good emperor." Li Ke smiled calmly and said to Fang Yiai. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is mine
