Chapter 557

After the meeting broke up today, Li Shimin summoned Li Ke to the harem for a separate meeting.

Just now, Li Shimin threw a folding book in front of Li Ke, "what do you say?"

Li Ke looked down and saw that there was a two word "resignation" written on the fold, which surprised him a little. When I opened it, I felt confused, "this What a surprise

The father and son had already tacitly understood that only when Qin mubai led his army to return to the court would li ke be canonized as the crown prince. Although Chang sun Wuji hasn't made a clear statement yet, both father and son know that Chang sun Wuji still reserves his opinion even if he is stubborn. As long as he has the strong support of the military, Li Ke won't have much resistance to be the crown prince.

Although civil servants are the mouthpiece of the imperial court, in the final analysis, no matter how stupid or stubborn Chang sun Wuji is, he will not be so stupid as to use his own strength to turn the tide. Besides, the king of Wei is dead. Chang sun Wuji also couldn't tear down his old face, and turned his head to support Li Zhi, king of Jin. In his hands, without any prince to do the backing, in addition to default Li Ke into the East Palace, what can he do?

As for the old clich é s about "lineage" and "Di Shu", in the face of absolute strength, it is just a ridiculous excuse, not enough to control the overall situation.

But now. Qin mubai suddenly handed in his resignation, and Li Ke wanted to go to the top, without the most powerful help. This variable caught Li Shimin and his son by surprise.

At the moment, Li Ke is pondering, why does Mu Bai suddenly want to retire? I didn't hear a word about it in advance. From the experience of getting along with him in the past, mubai is tough and ambitious. The tragic news of his father's death in the war did not make him any decadent. This time What's the matter?

Seeing that Li Ke was silent, Li Shimin knocked on the ground with his crutch, "what's your opinion?"

"For a while, I can't think of any way." Li Ke shook his head in embarrassment, "my son knows mubai. He doesn't make any decisions easily. However, once a decision is made, it will not be changed easily. "

Li Shimin frowned. "Do you know what Qin mubai means to you, to the present court and to the future of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I know..." Li Ke nodded his head and said: just as his father said, the status and position of Qin mubai is very important now! I need his support to stabilize the eastern palace; the civil and military factions in the imperial court need his strength to maintain balance; in the future, the military and national affairs of the Tang Dynasty need him to preside over. Apart from other things, no one can guarantee that it will be able to live in the western regions alone.

"Now that you know it, do you have a way to remedy it?" Li Shimin said.

Li Ke's brow was deeply wrinkled and speechless for a long time. Xindao: I think my understanding of mubai is that he is not selfish and does not care about the overall situation. At such a critical moment, he suddenly handed in his resignation. It must be because of some important reasons, or he was disappointed with the imperial court What's the reason for that?

Li Ke can't help but think of the emperor. Because, with Qin mubai's current status and fame, it is estimated that only the emperor can make such a huge change!

If Qin mubai resigned because he lost confidence in the imperial court and the emperor, then it would be really difficult!

Thinking about this, Li Ke said to Li Shimin, "I don't know what the" remedy "that father Huang said means?"

Li Shimin said, "I'm asking you."

Li Ke grinned in embarrassment, so he had to harden his head and reply: "at this time, there are only two ways. One is to reject Qin mubai's resignation and invite him to Chang'an to persuade him to stay and continue to serve the Tang Dynasty; the other is Find a replacement for Qin mubai. "

"Then try both." Li Shimin seemed to have expected that Li Ke would reply like this, saying, "didn't you mention earlier that you wanted to marry Qin Shuanger, the maid of Qin family and Qin mubai's sister? Now I'm sure. Tomorrow, I will send Chu suiliang and the Minister of Zongzheng temple to Chang'an to offer you a grand engagement. I will marry you and officially appoint the daughter of Qin as Princess Wu

Li Ke knelt down on the spot and said, "thank you for your father's help!"

Today's Princess Wu will be the crown princess in a short time It is estimated that she is the queen of the mother of a country!

"That's not necessarily the case!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "even if you marry Qin's daughter as a concubine, Qin mubai still refuses to go back to court, which is futile. Therefore, we have to send a lobbyist to Lanzhou to persuade Qin mubai. Ke'er, who do you want to send

"This..." Li Ke hesitated for a moment, bowing his hand and saying, "the Royal sister of Gaoyang is still in Chang'an. If you can persuade her to go and lobby, it's probably feasible. "

"Confused." Li Shimin wrung his brow, "this girl. Girls are extroverted. They have long been lovers without parents. Sending her to lobby Qin mubai is no different from beating dogs with steamed stuffed buns. "

Li Ke couldn't help laughing, and then said, "father, in fact, my son has thought of this layer. But If Gao Yang can't persuade him, how can he persuade Qin mubai? "

Li Shimin wrung his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "it's reasonable. But this girl has not listened to me now. You have to persuade her first. I think you are the only one who can show up in person. ""The son minister leads the decree." Li Ke accepted the promise.

With a sigh, Li Shimin took another copy from his side and handed it to Li Ke, saying, "things are unpredictable. If Qin mubai insists on not coming back, can't he be tied up? As you said, we need to make two preparations. Look at this first. "

Li Ke took a look and raised his eyebrows. He was surprised and said, "in the civil strife in Koguryo, don't leave Zhiquan to kill the king?"

"Yes! Quangai Suwen, an ambitious maniac, has always wanted to conquer Baiji and Xinluo, and then compete with Datang. " Li Shimin said, "a few years ago, the scuffle among the Three Kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula was planned by him, the ambitious Minister of Koguryo. At that time, I sent you to mediate. Fortunately, you fulfilled your mission and calmed down the war of the Three Kingdoms. Now, Quan Gai Suwen finally couldn't help it. He killed the rongliu king of Koguryo and left him in the wild. He didn't even hold a funeral. At the same time, he also killed more than 100 ministers. then. He made Gao Zang, the nephew of rongliu king, a puppet king, and called himself "Da Mo Li Zhi.". Now that he is in charge of all the military and political power in gaoliguo, I believe it will not be long before he will set up troops to invade Silla and achieve his ambition for many years. "

"These unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous people must be exterminated!" Li Ke angrily said, "if you just sit by and watch him swallow up Silla and Baiji and grow stronger. In the future, it will be the trouble of Tang Dynasty

"Therefore, the Tang Dynasty must make early preparations for the expedition to Koguryo." As soon as Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, there was a touch of light in his eyes. "I had a heart to fight for Korea many years ago. For future generations, I got rid of this trouble. Later, because of frequent wars in the west, I was delayed. Now the West has decided that it is time to use troops in Korea. It's a pity that my health is no longer good. So, I'm going to let you head for the battle! "

Li Ke was shocked and accepted with emotion. "My son is willing to lead the army, and I will not return!"

"Of course, this battle is only allowed to win, but at the same time..." Li Shimin's voice was a little helpless, "if Qin mubai is determined not to return to Korea, you will use this war to find a person who can replace Qin mubai. Or, you can do it yourself - instead of Qin mubai! "

Li Ke was stunned. Silent did not make a sound of nodded, the heart way: or father emperor far sighted. No matter what he does, he always thinks about the whole situation in his heart. In fact, at the moment, Datang is not suitable for launching another war. However, for the sake of the stability of the court and the balance of the political situation, we have to make such a bad policy. It seems that there is no way to do it. If Qin mubai was willing to come back, the political situation would be stable, and the expedition to Korea would not be in such a hurry. and. Qin mubai's 300000 Guanxi Iron Army is invincible and invincible. Why worry about the injustice in Koguryo But the 300000 troops may not be so effective when they are in the hands of others or me!

"Xue yantuo has calmed down, and the situation in Mobei has gradually stabilized. I'm going to order Li Ji to return to the court. " Li Shimin said, "Ke'er. Do you know what to do? "

"I understand..."

"I do all this for you and for the future of Datang." Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows again and said leisurely, "there is no way to perfect everything. If anyone has any misunderstanding or prejudice about me, I I have to admit it

Li Ke nodded, a guess in his heart was confirmed: it seems. There is a big gap between mubai and my father

"Let's go and try to persuade your sister." Li Shimin said, "you are better than me. This girl I have nothing to do with her now! "

"Yes, I'll go now."

Soon after, Li Ke went to the back palace to find Princess Gaoyang. Before he could speak, Princess Gaoyang said, "you're here to be a lobbyist for your father, aren't you?"

Li Ke was stunned at first, then he laughed, "it seems that you all know?"

"What I don't know!" Gaoyang Princess straight mouth, "last night, my father told me, let me try to persuade back to mubai. But I didn't promise! "

Li Ke asked: "why don't you agree?"

"Because..." Princess Gaoyang's eyes turned straight, but she didn't spit out other words for a long time.

Li Ke laughed and said, "forget it, Gao Yang. You don't have to be careful in front of me. In fact, I'm here today as a lobbyist. In fact, I want to let you go back and reunite with mubai! "

"Really?" As soon as Princess Gaoyang's eyes brightened, she hugged Li Ke, "I knew you would always be my good third brother! Over the years. I didn't hurt you in vain! "

"How do you talk?" Li Ke was so angry and funny that he pushed Princess Gaoyang away. "You're old and big, and you're a mother. You're still as ridiculous as before!"

"Hey, hey! No matter how old I am, I will always be a little sister in front of you Princess Gaoyang was so happy that she burst into tears and whispered. "Third brother, are you really going to do this?"

"Ah..." Li Ke sighed helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "I don't understand Mu Bai's personality? Since it was his decision, there was no change. Instead of this, I'd better go back to my own way. At least it can save my friendship with him. "

"Third brother is still so wise..." Princess Gaoyang nodded and sighed, "in fact, I don't want mubai to come back to Chang'an and reunite with my family? In this way, not only the justice of the monarch and his ministers can be fulfilled, but also the friendship between husband and wife and you can be fulfilled. But I'm not sure I can convince him of what he has decided. And from what I know of him, he has never been the kind of ungrateful and selfish person. So he decided. There must be a reason for him. I I can only support himLi Ke gazed at Princess Gaoyang, nodded and said, "Gaoyang, in fact, you are the most intelligent person."

"Do you have one?" Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "am I smart with you and your father?"

"Yes." Li Ke said with a smile, "you can't go back. You always insist on your trust in mubai. That's great wisdom like a fool."

Princess Gaoyang was so angry that she said, "I still look stupid!"

Li Ke laughed and said, "it's Yuxiong who used the wrong words! ——Gao Yang, there are few people in the world who can consistently achieve the word "persistence". You will be happy in the future, with your consistent trust in mubai! "

Gaoyang princess's face rippling proud and gratified smile, nodded, "thank you, third brother!"

Li Ke breathed a sigh and held Princess Gaoyang's hand. "I will repay my father and say that you have promised to go to Lanzhou as a lobbyist. Get ready and set off at any time! "

"Third brother, you are deceiving me for personal gain..."

"It's OK, just go. Other things. I'll take care of it myself. "

Gaoyang Princess tightly holding Li Ke's hand, eyes a little red, whispered: "third brother, we will meet again?"

Li Ke said with a smile, "I'm afraid only that guy knows the answer to this question."

"In fact, third brother, you also want to persuade mubai back?" Said Princess Gaoyang. "It's just that you're playing hard to get?"

Li Ke said with a frank smile: "I admit that I have such an idea. However, if mubai insists on not coming back, I will really be "vertical."

"Do you really Would you rather Princess Gaoyang asked carefully.

Li Ke sighed and said, "mubai has done enough for me and for Datang. If he is really tired and wants to have a rest, I can't be selfish. Gao Yang, please take a message to mubai and say that no matter what happens in the future, Qin mubai and Li Ke will always be best friends

"If one day you become a prince, or even an emperor?" Princess Gaoyang asked deliberately.

Li Ke smiles, "forever, don't you understand?"

"Forever, how far is it?"

Li Ke suddenly Leng a Leng, don't know how to answer.

Princess Gaoyang wiped the tears on her eyelids and said in a soft voice, "third brother, I'll tell mubai what to say. But I think that if you become the prince and the emperor one day, you will regret saying such words. "

"Do you think I will..."

Gaoyang Princess apricot eyes bending at Li Ke, smile but not language.

The brother and sister's eyes intersect, but actually they know it by heart.

At the moment, Princess Gaoyang thought: we were all born in the emperor's family. Can we not understand that the emperor does not deserve to have too many personal feelings? Why is there no such reason for mubai's resignation? Because he doesn't want to one day, and three elder brother you love cut off righteousness, so between two people only cold monarch minister relationship! Third brother, you are also wise. I know that the reason why you are willing to let me go today is that you know that you can't persuade mubai back, and you don't want to persuade mubai back. So you go back to the second place, and you want to give the friendship between you two Let's make a living!
