Chapter 640 Li Zhan's Mind
Heavy snow in Chang'an
Li Zhan sat in the courtyard of his home, looking at the snowflakes outside. At this time, Old Ying walked over and said, "Your Highness... Your Highness has been looking for you several times. Can you meet me?"
"No see..." Li Zhan waved his hand without hesitation, and said with a smile on his lips: "He must be alone and cannot always rely on me. I will never interfere in the affairs of the China Banking Regulatory Commission. Tell him that everything must depend on him."
"Your Highness is really good for the Crown Prince..." Shadow smiled slightly and bowed and left.
Li Zhan looked at the snowflakes outside the court and showed a faint smile. Li Chengqian had been changed, and the subsequent things depended on Li Chengqian himself. Li Zhan could not participate too much. Let Li Chengqian rely on him, so that would not help Li Chengqian.
"Watch the snow...!"
Li Zhan laughed at the voice and said, "Why are you here...!"
"Take a message for you..." Li Ke walked to Li Zhan and sat down, then picked up a winter date and started eating it.
Now Li Ke and Li Zhan have a good relationship. It can be said that Li Ke has been impressed by his elder brother and attracted by his elder brother's charm. With the fear of other younger brothers, Li Ke's attitude towards Li Zhan is admired.
"I knew to eat my food as soon as I came, and said...what news did you bring to me?" Li Zhan rocked his rocking chair and then felt comfortable.
"hehe...!"
Li Ke smiled and replied, "Didn't I go to the Ministry of Rites recently... I got the news today that at the end of the year, in addition to Tubo, there were also Tianzhu, Dashi, Zhonggesar and King Hall, etc., who also sent envoys, which were originally ordinary worship.
But when they heard that Tubo asked to take the princess of the Tang Dynasty, they also submitted a letter to them, and they also asked to marry the princess."
After Li Ke said that, Li Zhan laughed: "My sister has become a popular guy, but it's a pity... None of these guys want to marry my sister."
"Brother already has a solution." Li Ke looked at Li Zhanke with a smile.
"Well... I didn't think there was a way out for a long time. I can only say that after you came, I suddenly had a fun idea. I want to play with the guys who were asking for marriage."
When Li Zhan said this, Li Ke on the other side came to his spirits and said, "Can you tell me how to play with those messengers?"
"Hehe..." Li Zhan smiled wickedly: "Keep confidential..."
Li Ke was disappointed. At this time, Li Zhan said again: "By the way... I want the person you are recruiting, how are you recruiting?"
"Oh...!" Li Ke said quickly: "It's a bit troublesome... There are too many people who want to join the Hu Ben Army, and most of them are children of some powerful families!"
"Ah..." Li Zhan was surprised: "Why are they all children of the powerful family?"
"This is also impossible. Your Highness, you are now rising. The Hu Ben Army is your guard. Then everyone wants to arrange their children into the Hu Ben Army."
Li Ke's words made Li Zhan stunned: "What's this? I just want to add 10,000 people to the Hu Ben Army. All these playboys want to come in, so I can't finish my Hu Ben Army."
"But the elder brother is all favors... You don't know, the Cheng family, the Qin family... the threshold is about to be trampled, and there are also some old ministers who have charged with the father and the emperor to send their children to the Hu Ben Army.
Don't let the trouble with your father there.
You know, those old ministers who have made contributions, and the father can’t hide his face. Now they are all stuffed to me. At first I thought this was a good thing, but now I know, it’s just a waste of my hand.”
"What's this called... You should have told those people that you have to go to my Hu Ben Camp for three months of military training."
"I said...but those people are still flocking to you, brother... I'll give you an idea. Otherwise, we will find an extra group of people and organize all the dandy people into this camp, so that it will not affect the formation of other groups."
"This is good..." Li Ke's suggestion made Li Zhan nod and said, "I knew you would have a way, let's do it... You will lead the dandy group, and Li You and Li Yan will assist you... You must bring the dandy camp up, I'll take good care of you."
"Clam..." Li Ke showed a surprised expression.
"Stop it... Go and recruit quickly... I want to expand the Hu Ben Army to 10,000 before the end of the year... Our Hu Ben Army still has a mission."
"Task...What mission...Brother, can I take that mission with me?" Li Ke's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that the Hu Ben Army had a mission.
Looking at Li Ke's excited look, Li Zhan smiled and said, "This mission is not simple, you have to run a long distance."
"Long-distance raid..."
If you say that Li Ke is still very good at military attainments, he is Li Shimin's son, so just after Li Zhan talked about the long-distance raid, Li Ke hurriedly said: "Is it... the eldest brother is going to attack Tubo, but the eldest brother... there are more people in Tubo than us?"
After saying that, Li Zhan had not spoken yet. Li Ke immediately said, "No, no... Brother never fights a war that is unsure, ah... I started to ring. Brother has been outside Chang'an for a while and I don't know what to do. That must be the magic weapon for Brother to win Tubo."
"Haha..." Li Zhan laughed and said, "You are really clear!"
"Then brother is saying...I'm right..." Li Ke looked at Li Zhan with some excitement and said, "That brother... can you let me see your winning weapon?"
"Well...!" Li Zhan thought for a while and said, "If you can complete the recruitment of my Hu Ben Army, then I will let you see my winning magic weapon."
"Okay...a word is determined." Li Ke was happy.
Li Zhan nodded in a hell and said, "One word is certain..."
After saying that, Li Ke and Li Zhan hit the palm of their hands and ran out happily. Why did Li Zhan run so fast? Li Ke replied that he was going to recruit the Hu Ben Army.
Looking at Li Ke's happy appearance, Li Zhan's brows frowned slightly.
King Li Ke of Wu, he was actually a miserable prince. Thousands of years later, people still regretted and sighed for him... He was praised by his father Li Shimin as "a heroic fruit like me".
Unfortunately, Li Ke has a bad background and his status is too noble. Because of this, no matter how outstanding Li Ke is, he is destined to be a "match burning" and eat, drink, play and have fun for a lifetime, concentrating the essence of life in just thirty or forty years, and then pursuing rebirth.
Li Ke developed at this pace from the beginning. He was enthroned by his grandfather Li Yuan as the prince of Changsha at the age of one year, and also carried a seal of the governor of Xiangzhou. Li Tang was doing strange things and liked to hang a prince with an empty throne, as if he showed that the descendants of the Li family could not only burn fire.
While eating, Li Ke carried a large seal and changed his title to a long list. It was not until he was seventeen that he was the King of Wu and the Governor of Wen and Mian to restore the military status of the five states and the governor of Anzhou. He took office for the first time.
Shortly after arriving in Anzhou, Li Ke gave his father an eye drop. He used the farmland of the common people as a royal hunting ground and broke the crops. The censor Liu Fan filed a lawsuit against Li Shimin for impeachment.
Li Shimin looked embarrassed. This broken child repeatedly reminded him: You must understand that rice is hard to come by so that you can eat it for a long time; you must know that it is tiring for a horse to ride it safely; you must know that water can carry a boat and overturn it, so that the boat can walk steadily. How can you forget it if you turn around!
Just like all fathers who can't bear to see their son being pointed at, Li Shimin couldn't bear to be faced and did not hesitate to protect his son. He gave in: How could Quan Wanji assist the King of Wu? It's really a crime!
When Liu Fan heard this, what's the point? You are not a murderer who doesn't catch a knife? Fang Xuanling mutters in your ears every day, and can't stop you from riding a horse and wandering around. Why do you ask for power to control the King of Wu?
OK, I originally wanted to cover up my son's embarrassment, but even my face was lit out, and I slapped it five times! Li Shimin was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left.
Thinking about it, if you don’t teach me some lessons, wouldn’t this child really become “cracker”? So Li Shimin issued an order to dismiss Li Ke’s governor of Anzhou and seize 300 households.
After losing three hundred households with one foot, Li Ke deeply experienced the first time that "rice is hard to come by."
From then on, he changed his past and consciously accepted Quan Wanji's strict control, and straightened his distorted body.
At this pace, Li Ke should be able to extend the blessing of having idle meals to sixty or seventy years without any problem, and it is unknown whether it is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty's royal family. However, as a child of the royal family, Li Ke's troubles will soon come.
In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Prince Li Chengqian was deposed and Xiaojiu Li Zhi took over as a substitute. However, the more Li Shimin looked at Xiaojiu, the more he felt worried: Can this little body bear the Tang Dynasty? Don’t die in three lifetimes.
It was late at night and Li Shimin couldn't sleep, so he pulled his sons out to line up. The firewood was firewood! Alas, only the mistress Li Ke, how could he look so much like me?
Li Shimin "causes nothing wrong", and put Li Ke on the sword mountain. He said to Changsun Wuji: Xiaojiu is too cowardly and may not be able to defend the country. Xiaosanying is like me. I want to change him to the crown prince. What do you think?
Changsun Wuji thought, do you really treat Datang as your own private property? He doesn’t even raise his eyelids: It’s not so good!
Li Shimin got angry: Isn’t you saying this because Li Ke is not your nephew?
Changsun Wuji retorted: The prince is kind and filial, and he is the king who is in charge of success. It is just right. How important is the crown prince? How can he change it?
Li Shimin was speechless for a moment. Who made me confused at the beginning? I didn’t have time to think about it carefully. Now that the road is complete, I will break the reconstruction again. It’s heartbreaking to think about it. It’s just that!
Li Shimin took it lightly and stopped mentioning this matter. The only thing he could do was to constantly use his strict fatherly attitude to warn Li Ke that he should take the wise kings in history as an example, restrain himself and cultivate virtue, and be the assistant to the royal family.
Li Ke probably never knew that his father had a motion to make him the crown prince. He only knew that he was a concubine's son, and he would have a chance unless all his brothers were deposed. Therefore, the good baby Li Ke always obeyed his father's orders and lived his life in full swing.
Who would have expected that the father and son of the Li family would forget this episode, but Changsun Wuji would never forget it, and even planted a poisonous seed - Li Ke was a threat to the imperial power and had to be dealt with.
In the fourth year after Li Zhi ascended the throne, the "Fang Yiai's rebellion case" that shocked the Tang Dynasty broke out. This was originally a case of a strife, initiated by Princess Gaoyang. The Fang brothers had nothing to do with Li Ke. However, in order to save himself, Fang Yiai actually randomly stole Li Ke and said that he had also participated in the rebellion.
Before the execution, Li Ke denounced Changsun Wuji: "Changsun Wuji steals authority and harms good deeds. If there is a spirit in the clan, he should see that his clan is destroyed!" After saying that, he was strangled and killed in prison by Bai Ling.
To put it bluntly, Li Ke's death was very unfair. At this time, Li Zhan looked at Li Ke who was running away happily, and Li Ke hanged himself in his mind. He shook his head. Li Zhan whispered: "No one can die. I will definitely change history, sure!"
....................................................
"Brother...!"
Just when Li Zhan was in a daze, another voice calling out to the elder brother sounded. Li Zhan turned around and saw that it was his sister Li Xing holding his daughter Li Yuxi...!
Although it was reported that he wanted to marry him to Tubo, Li Xing has always seemed very calm and did not feel confused about his future, which made Li Zhan give his sister a thumbs up.
If other girls knew they were going to be sent to Tubo, they would be so scared that they screamed. After all, the customs in Tubo were not very good, and it was completely a barbaric place. No girl was willing to leave Chang'an and go anywhere.
But what Li Zhan didn't know was that Li Xing's calmness came from his trust in Li Zhan, because Li Xing always believed that his elder brother would give him the best and would not let him suffer.
The facts are exactly the same as what Li Xing thought. Li Zhan can make grenades for Li Xing.
"What are you calling... Why is my Yuxi in your hands again, and his mother?" Li Zhan looked at his sister with a smile.
After Li Zhan finished speaking, Li Xing frowned and said high, "It seems like he's gone out!"
"Then she has other mothers and grandmas..." Li Zhan was surprised.
"We're busy... Stop talking, come and hold your daughter quickly, my hand is about to break." After saying that, Li Xing put Li Yuxi in Li Zhan's hand and shouted relaxedly: "Oh my god, I really didn't expect that this child could be so heavy. After holding it for a while, my arm was about to break."
"What...!" Li Zhan gently hugged his daughter in his arms and said, "Our family Yuxi is not heavy at all. Our family Yuxi is a princess, how can the princess be heavy?"
"Tsk...!" Li Xing stood beside Li Zhan, and used his little finger to touch Li Yuxi's little nose and said, "What my mother said is nothing wrong. Others prefer boys over girls, but the eldest brother prefers girls over boys.
It's really weird."
"Isn't this good... because my brother valued you too...!"
Li Zhan's words made Li Xing laugh and said, "This is pretty good, but brother... will I really marry to Tubo?"
"Tubo..." Li Zhan laughed haha, and after laughing, Li Zhan said slightly: "Little barbarians, they are not qualified to marry my sister. If you dare to threaten them, then your elder brother, I will cut their claws one by one.
So, please have fun, make fun, and live happily every day. As long as the eldest brother is in one day, no one in this world can control you...!"
"Brother...it's the best..." Li Xing happily hung Li Zhan's neck.
"Ouch...be careful of your niece." Li Zhan was in panic.
