Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 159
"Your Highness...Your Highness!"

Gu Wu has always been calm and unflappable, but now he hastily ran from the front yard of the palace, yelling at the gate of the yard.

This palace is divided into two parts, inside and outside. The front yard is spacious and spacious. There are not only courtyards, but also gardens, playgrounds, halls, buildings...

The backyard is much smaller and belongs to the private courtyard of the royal residence.Except for a main building, there is only a veranda courtyard and a small gazebo.In this backyard, Li Ke himself, his wife and servant girls can come in.

And connecting the front and back yards is an arched moon gate, which is guarded by special personnel on weekdays.

Pass through the moon gate, and then walk through the path and veranda to get to the backyard.

Li Ke was setting up a swing for Sun Yan in the backyard at this time, when he heard Gu Wu yelling, he ordered the guards outside to let Gu Wu into the backyard.

"Your Highness, Yan'er stepped back first..."

Seeing outsiders coming in, Changsun Yan got up and begged for orders to avoid them.

Li Ke pulled her back: "It's okay, you are my princess, there are no secrets between my husband and wife."

Changsun Yan's heart warmed up, Li Ke treated her far more than ordinary concubines, and even did not shy away from military affairs.

She hurriedly bowed to accept the order, and stood on one side with the servant girl Hua Rui.

At this time, Gu Wu had already trotted in, with an eager expression on his face, he first bowed to Li Ke, then paused when he saw Chang Sun Yan, and also bowed to salute, but he didn't speak.

Li Ke waved his hand: "If you have something to say, just say it..."

Gu Wu nodded, and moved to Li Ke's side again, saying: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister of Tubo, Shang Nang, led all the officials under his command to attack Songtsen Gampo on Keri today. I heard that they have reported many generals in the army, and some of them have been detained. There are those who pay for the army and fill their pockets. There are also those who harass the people and oppress the good. There is also a general who was accused of using his power to force civilian women to be concubines.

Hearing this, Chang Sunyan was furious. This matter of forcing a commoner girl to be a concubine is poking into the heart of her daughter's family.

At this time, Li Ke nodded and said: "Then... how did Songtsan Gampo deal with it?"

Gu Wu said again: "Songtsan Gampo was naturally furious. He beheaded the general who forced the civilian girls on the spot, and ordered a thorough investigation of the military discipline. He wants to talk about Keri behind closed doors!"

"it is good!"

As soon as she heard that the general was beheaded, Changsun Yan couldn't hold back, she clapped her hands and said hello, she came to her senses again, quickly bowed and apologized.

Li Ke laughed at this moment, patting Sun Yan's forehead fondly, and asked Gu Wu, "What's your reaction on Ke Ri?"

Gu Wu laughed and said, "Of course he was so angry that he was going to die! I heard that as soon as he returned, he ordered his generals to search for evidence of the Shangnang Group's crimes and confront him head-on!"

Li Ke gave a "hmm", then raised his head and said, "This Lun Keri is our business partner. Now that he is in trouble, we naturally have to help him..."

Changsun Yan was shocked when she heard it. She had heard Li Ke say that although Datang and Tubo were peaceful on the surface, they were fighting against each other in secret.If Tubo is allowed to develop and grow, then the land of Shu will have to face the Tubo soldiers.

But when she heard that Li Ke had actually cooperated with the Tubo people, she was very puzzled.

Reminiscing again, the general who forced the civilian girls before was the subordinate of this Lun Keri, and Zhang Sunyan no longer has a good impression of Lun Keri.This time when she heard that Li Ke was going to help Lun Keri, she was even more confused, and she couldn't help pouted, secretly unhappy.

At this time, Gu Wu had already taken the order and left, and Li Ke turned around and walked to Changsun Yan's side.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Li Ke frowned and looked at Chang Sun Yan.

"what……"

Only then did Changsun Yan realize that her expression fell into Li Ke's eyes, she quickly put away her angry face, shrank her neck and said, "No...it's nothing..."

Li Ke still looked at her, smiled slightly and did not speak.

Seen by Li Ke, her heart was shaking, and Changsun Yan knew that she couldn't hide her thoughts from Li Ke, the most intelligent man in the world, so she stuck out her tongue: "Okay... Your Highness, that Yan'er said it directly, don't you dare to hide it!" Happy..."

Li Ke waved his hand, signaling for her to speak quickly.

Changsun Yan bowed and said: "Your Highness, Yan'er thinks...then Lun Keri is really not a thing, conniving at his subordinates to do all kinds of bad things. You...why do you still cooperate with him and help him?"

"Oh?"

Li Ke smiled lightly, not intending to get angry at all, but continued to play with the guy in his hand, and set up a swing for Chang Sunyan.

While he was doing it, he said: "Then I would like to ask you...should we be happy when the Tubo people fight each other?"

"Of course we should be happy..." Zhang Sunyan replied.

Li Ke asked again: "Then should we expect them to fight more intensely, or hope that they will end the fight quickly..."

Changsun Yan thought for a moment: "Of course I hope they fight more intensely and for a longer period of time...then they will suffer even more damage!"

"Ok!"

Li Ke nodded: "But what if the two sides in the fight are not equal in strength? Shall we help the weak and let them fight more fiercely?"

"what?"

Changsun Yan crossed her fingers and counted for a long time before she realized that what Li Ke was talking about was the bag and the day of discussion.

In this way, Li Ke helped Lun Keri to make them fight more fiercely, so as to damage Tubo's strength.

but……

Changsun Yan rubbed her head again and asked doubts in her heart: "Isn't Lun Keri the prince of Tubo? He holds the military power in Tubo, how could he not be able to beat the prime minister?"

Li Ke smiled and said: "If the two of you fight with each other, even ten nobles can't fight against Lun Keri. But now that the two are fighting in the court, how can Lun Keri be a reckless man? What about the scheming businessman?"

"Oh, yes!"

Chang Sun Yan thought again, this Shang Nang is the prime minister, the influence and experience in the court must be stronger than the long-term discussion in the barracks.

At this time, Li Ke helped that Lun Keri find Shang Nang's trouble, not because he wanted them to fight each other harder and last longer.

In this way, these two important ministers will surely turn Tubo's court upside down and greatly weaken Tubo's strength.

After thinking about this, Changsun Yan understood the shrewdness of Li Ke's strategy, and she couldn't help but sigh that Li Ke's strategy was unparalleled.

"Then Your Highness... the quarrel between these two people, you won't be the one who provoked it?" She asked tentatively again.

Li Ke smiled: "It's true... The shortage of wool is because I bought all his wool and made it into wool sweaters and sold it to Lun Keri for Lun Keri's plateau horses. Lun Keri took the woolen sweater, and snatched Shang Nang's wool market, taking away the interests that belonged to Shang Nang. That's why these two people fought..."

"wonderful!"

Changsun Yan couldn't help applauding: "How can there be someone as smart as His Highness in this world?"

With this buying and selling, all the highland horses in Tubo were brought back, and the two important officials in Tubo fought against each other. The little rascal was disturbed, and he moaned and sighed at home all day.
