Chang'an Han Palace

"Sir, I've been there these past few days, why haven't I seen you?" "Oh, it's really rare for Your Highness to still remember this old minister."

"Your Highness, you are very proud. You keep having banquets every day, and you are cheering and cheering. You are really envious of others." Cen Wenwen said to Li Ke in a sinister tone.

Li Ke didn't understand that the teacher should be happy that the errand was done so well. But he also knew that Cen Wenwen was sincerely doing good for him, and he quickly stood up and asked the teacher to sit down.

Seeing Li Ke's attentiveness, Cen Wenwen sighed and could not continue to lecture Li Ke with a cold face.

"Your Majesty gave you so much money and food, why did you do that? Aren't you afraid that Jieli will harm you? And what should you do if Tuli betrays you?"

"The student is backed by Mr.'s good plan and Chai Shao's tens of thousands of troops. When he makes a move, he is seventy percent sure. The greater the risk, the greater the return, isn't it?"

Li Ke's relief did not make Cen Wenwen happy. In Cen Wenwen's view, Li Ke actually did not get much benefit this time, but instead helped others.

"Your Highness thinks his contribution is great, right? How about compared to Han Xin and Peng Yue? Their contribution in assisting Han Emperor Gaozu to pacify the world is not insignificant, but why were they all killed so early?"

"Please sir, teach me." Seeing Cen Wenwen's unkind expression, Li Ke quickly changed his attitude and asked for advice.

“If a minister is seen to be more capable than the emperor, has performed more meritorious service than the emperor, and has more fiefdoms than the emperor, then his death is not far away.

The same is true for being a prince. Your Highness is just a prince. If people see that he is more capable than the prince, has more merit than the prince, and has about the same amount of food as the prince. Then those who are close to the prince will regard you as a thorn in the flesh.

If you want to get rid of it quickly.

Your Majesty is in the prime of his life and will not allow that prince to surpass him in the national policy of the Northern Expedition. Then he will turn around and deal with you. What will you do then?

After all, His Majesty appointed the Crown Prince himself, do you think he will vacillate the throne when there is a national war because of your ability and merits?"

Cen Wenwen saw Li Ke thinking about what he said and continued: "Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is a nostalgic person, but what about you, Your Highness?

On the day of returning to the city, many civil and military personnel went to greet His Highness, but have you noticed the civil and military personnel from the Prince of Qin's Palace? His Highness may not have been able to care about it. Not far from you, they all went to see off Luo Yi.

The prince personally supported the spirit and laid stones for Luo Yi, which really made the East Palace favorably favored by many important ministers. How do you think His Majesty will compare you and the prince?"

After hearing what Cen Wenwen said, he realized that he had forgotten Luo Yi, who died because of him, and left the impression of being unkind and unkind.

In the eyes of those important ministers in the court, a capable prince is far inferior to a nostalgic one. However, Li Chengqian did not care about old sins, disregarded the prince's dignity, and supported the soul of a former sinner, which fully demonstrated the demeanor of a prince of a great country and his respect for national heroes.

, and more importantly, he won the heart of his father.

Cen Wenwen knew that Li Ke had been oppressed by the East Palace for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would get carried away by doing such a good job.

However, the ending was not good and Dong Gong got a big advantage. This also shows that Li Ke's mind is far from mature as Li Chengqian.

"Fortunately, His Highness's errand was done well. Not only did it win face for His Majesty, but it also improved His Highness's reputation among the people. This will be of great benefit to His Highness in the future."

"Sir taught you a lesson, but what should you do now?"

"His Royal Highness is still young, and it is inevitable that he will not be thorough in doing things. No matter what crimes Luo Yi has committed for the Northern Expedition, just because he died fighting against the Turks to protect the prince, then he is a hero, and he must be a hero. Therefore, the court can unite

The human heart, so no amount of sorrow or glory is an exaggeration.

The person in the East Palace is really not a simple person. He judged the matter so accurately and so quickly. We did not lose unjustly. I have already submitted a memorial to Your Majesty in the name of His Highness, please pursue Jin Luo Yi as the Duke of Ji.

General of the country, although it is a little late, it is better than nothing, as for the matter of this fiefdom, His Highness still needs to think carefully, and cannot lose the big for the small."

To be honest, Li Ke regretted it, blaming himself for being so short-sighted. It was easy to be arrogant. He blinded himself with the praise and benefits in front of him, and gave Donggong a good reputation in vain.

"According to what Mr. Xi said, these five hundred households' fiefdoms are really hot. The student will go to the palace to ask for his resignation."

"Ke'er, you should be rewarded for doing a good job this time. Why do you have to resign?" Li Shimin said to Li Ke with a smile.

Li Ke knelt down and sat down, bowed his upper body slightly and replied respectfully: "Back to my father, I can exchange for these people this time. Firstly, I rely on my father's power of heaven, and secondly, I am intimidated by hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border.

Jie Li dare not act rashly, and sons and ministers dare not be greedy for merit."

"Besides, I have caused General Luo Yi to die for his country. I feel really bad about it. I don't know what my father's intention is regarding the memorial to honor General Luo."

After hearing Li Ke talk about Luo Yi, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile. His son finally realized that Datang needed to set an example of fighting against the Turks to inspire people.

Li Ke didn't mention anything about Luo Yi after he came back from Dingxiang, but Li Chengqian did the opposite and gave Luo Yi great honor. Although the ministers didn't say anything openly, no one felt it in their hearts.

As for the title, Li Ke must have figured out the form before writing the memorial.

"The heroism of Luo Yi's death is a model for our generals in the Tang Dynasty. I have read the memorials of you and the prince, and have already given the decree to His Highness Hongwen. Don't take this matter too seriously. To him, dying in battle is a big deal.

The best place to stay.

Since you don't want the fiefdom of these five hundred households, I will promote you to the king of Shu, which can be regarded as a reward for your mission." After saying this, Li Ke quickly kowtowed to his father to thank him, and Li Shimin raised his hand to help him.

He gave Li Ke a look and signaled him not to be too polite.

"What do you think about sudden gains?"

"Father, I thought I could give it a try. After his sudden death, Tuli did not get the throne that should have been his, so it was inevitable that he would feel resentful.

But Jieli did not relax his vigilance against him for a moment. If it were not for the protection of the elders, he would have been dealt with by Jieli like the leaders who opposed Jieli.

As for the reason why he asked his father to go to the border negotiations in person because Jieli was very powerful in the grassland and he brought tens of thousands of elders with him. If he was not absolutely sure, he would not risk being exterminated and form an alliance with our country. From then on, he

A cautious attitude is enough to make people feel safe to cooperate with them.
