Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"what?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at his own Li Ke in disbelief, and even Guo Ye looked at Li Ke in confusion.

Everyone present was even more uproarious, and Chai Shao and Concubine Yang murmured in a daze: "How is this possible? Impossible, impossible..."

His Majesty Li Er didn't say a word, he rushed behind Li Ke to untie his quiver, and after counting the details, he was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Ke'er, tell Father, why are there arrows in your quiver? All of them are there, not one is missing? Could it be that you went out hunting today and didn’t even shoot a single arrow?”

Li Ke, who heard His Majesty Li Er's question, shook his head silently, and did not speak, as if he was suffering.

Guo Ye was also confused by His Majesty Li Er's question. In his opinion, although Li Ke's riding and shooting skills are not as good as his own, it is impossible that he can't even shoot a prey. Even Fang Yizhi can Knocking a pheasant to death with a wooden stick, how could Li Ke return empty-handed?

Puzzled, very puzzled!

Not only Guo Ye, but everyone present was puzzled, and looked at the silent Li Ke with unbelievable eyes.

Chapter 900

Returning empty-handed, the quiver was full, and no arrow was fired.

Everyone is wondering, what the hell is Li Ke, king of Shu, doing?

Only Guo Ye seemed to realize that he had discovered something, and a trace of panic flashed inexplicably in his heart. Li Ke took advantage of it.

Doubts are doubtful, but Guo Ye is still puzzled by the specific weirdness and strangeness.

Suddenly, Li Ke fell on his knees and put his hands on the ground, pleading guilty to His Majesty Li Er: "Father, I have let you down because I found nothing in hunting."

His Majesty Li Er looked sternly at Li Ke, who was prostrating himself and pleading guilty, and was unable to say a word for a long time. Although he knew that his son was definitely not Guo Ye's opponent in riding and shooting, how could he even kill a prey? Can't even shoot?Even Fang Yizhi, a powerless scholar, can't compare to him.

If you are angry with Li Ke, that's out of the question.

But if you want to say that you are disappointed with Li Ke, that's for sure.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang, who was standing not far behind His Majesty Li Er, couldn't care less about being a pity for her son, she ran forward to His Majesty Li Er without saying a word, took her husband's arm, and pleaded for Li Ke : "Your Majesty, Ke'er has studied the Four Books and Five Classics from the famous Confucianists since he was a child. He is not good at swords, guns, swords, halberds, and riding and shooting. This hunting has not yielded anything, and Ke'er is also..."

"Shut up!"

His Majesty Li Er stopped drinking, his stern face suddenly sank, he glared at Concubine Yang fiercely, and reprimanded: "A loving mother is a failure!"

Concubine Yang didn't expect that her pleading for her son would become fuel to the fire, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Li Ke, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked for no reason, couldn't help complaining about his mother's stupidity, and then hurriedly raised his head to stop him: "Mother and concubine, don't beg for favors, this time I hunted my son and came back empty-handed, it is true that the emperor is angry." usually."

His Majesty Li Er noticed that his son was a little different today. From the answer he gave before the hunting trip, to the extraordinary calmness and calmness after returning empty-handed, it was obvious that he was a different person from before.

So, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he looked at Li Ke suspiciously and asked, "Ke'er, tell my father why your quiver is full and you haven't fired an arrow yet? Did you meet?"

Li Ke didn't reply with a word, just shook his head.

His Majesty Li Er asked again: "Could it be that something happened on the road?"

Li Ke still shook his head and remained silent.

Now His Majesty Li Er couldn't calm down anymore, and cursed: "This is neither that nor that, so why did you come back empty-handed without firing a shot? I have been wandering with your grandfather since I was a child, and the great Tang Empire depends entirely on The ancestors fought in the rain of guns and arrows in the southern and northern wars, and our Li family of the Tang Dynasty even won the world on horseback. As a descendant of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, you are so ignorant of martial arts? Such a waste, so mediocre, What do I need you for?"

"Father!"

After cursing angrily, Li Ke finally spoke, and he choked up and cried bitterly: "Father, the reason why I didn't shoot an arrow and returned empty-handed is not because I didn't encounter prey on the way, but also It's not that I'm incompetent and good at shooting and hunting. Rather, it's because I can't bear it."

"Well?"

His Majesty Li Er was also interested, and asked strangely: "You get up first, and you tell me, where did you say that?"

Li Ke got up from the ground respectfully, before he even had time to pat the dust and grass leaves on his body, he cupped his hands and said, "Father, it's the time when the cubs in the mountains are waiting to be fed. And breastfeeding the cub, who is going to feed the cub again? Erchen wanted to draw the bow and set up the arrow several times to shoot it, but every time he couldn't bear it at the end and put down the bow and crossbow again .My son honors the benevolence of a woman, and I hope my father will punish me."

"what?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at his son in astonishment, his face was full of emotion, thinking of what he had said angrily scolded Li Ke just now, His Majesty Li Er felt ashamed.

I saw him standing there in a daze, muttering to himself: "Now it's the feeding time in the mountains. If you shoot the mother beast, you will cut off the life of the cub. Oh, why didn't I think of this joint? I Your benevolence and righteousness are far superior to your father's. Ke'er, Ke'er..."

Speaking of the moving part, His Majesty Li Er actually walked up to Li Ke in person, gently raised his hand and patted off the dust and grass that he had just knelt on the ground, his face suddenly turned into a warm spring breeze, and he praised with a smile Said: "Ke'er, you are right. You are not a woman's benevolence. On the contrary, my son has a heart of compassion. This is a modest gentleman, the style of the ancients. Ke'er, you are right, even though you are empty-handed And return, but the father is more satisfied. This is the kindness and benevolence that a king of a country should have."

What should a king of a country have?

Li Ke's heart was as sweet as honey, and he secretly rejoiced, it seems that this king's plan is perfect from the beginning to the end, and my father has really greatly changed my opinion of me.

Looking at the scene of His Majesty Li Er and Shu King Li Ke's father being kind and filial to his son, everyone present was dumbfounded. In a short while, the situation suddenly changed.

Concubine Yang looked at her son and husband with satisfaction, her face was full of satisfaction and complacency.

Princess Wencheng showed a strange face, and she took a special look at Li Ke, the king of Shu who was uncharacteristically.

The three brothers and sisters Chai Lingwen, Chai Xiuxiu, and Chai Hehe didn't think so much, at least the king of Shu didn't win this competition, and they were secretly happy.

Chai Shao, on the other hand, seems to have noticed something, and now he finally came back to it, cursing sourly in his heart, what a king of Shu, you actually took advantage of my Chai family's hunting to choose a son-in-law, and exposed yourself in front of the emperor. Such a face is really sinister.

Only Guo Ye is the calmest, because he finally knows the real intention of Li Ke, King of Shu. It is true that the hunting and blind date is fake, but it is true to regain the emperor's heart and holy family.

From Shu Wang Li Ke's invitation to His Majesty Li Er and Concubine Yang to watch the battle, to the decent response before the hunting expedition, to the hypocrisy and hypocrisy of pretending to be compassionate.

Tsk tsk, Guo Ye admired him from the bottom of his heart, this kid has deep thoughts, why didn't he realize that he is such a deep-rooted person before?

wrong!

Guo Ye was suddenly alerted that this was definitely not something Li Ke, the King of Shu, could play, because Guo Ye was too familiar with Li Ke's virtues, not to mention eager for quick success, and the city was definitely not so deep.

Then there is only one conclusion, and Guo Ye has already guessed that there must be an expert behind this kid.

Fuck it, what kind of a master is able to use this Chai Mansion's hunting to choose a son-in-law to create such a good opportunity for Li Ke, King of Shu?

Guo Ye couldn't think of the real name of this expert standing behind Li Ke, King of Shu.

While he was in a daze, His Majesty Li Er had already announced that no one would win the Chai family's hunt for a son-in-law, and none of the four candidates could meet the requirements of the Chai family, and none of them could embrace the beauty.

Of course, this has become unimportant. The real big winner is Li Ke, who came here with joy and returned with satisfaction.

Afterwards, His Majesty Li Er officially ordered to withdraw the camp and return to the city, preparing to return to the palace.

All of a sudden, people moved, horses and flags flew, and the camp led by dragons and phoenixes slowly began to withdraw from the royal hunting ground.

When Long Yu passed by Guo Ye's side, His Majesty Li Er issued an order: "Guo Qing, don't rush back to the residence, walk with the Imperial Forest Army, follow me back to the palace, I really have something to discuss with you."

Guo Ye let out a cry, then went to Xiuxiu and Chai Hehe to say goodbye, then rode his horse to catch up with the large troops of the Imperial Forest Army, escorted the dragon and the phoenix back to the city, and entered the palace.

As soon as they entered the palace, His Majesty Li Er asked Guo Ye to follow him, but they did not go to the Ganlu Palace of Empress Changsun, nor the Sufeng Palace of Concubine Yang, but Wangbei, who usually reviewed memorials and dealt with government affairs and discussed state affairs. in the pavilion.

After entering the Wangbei Pavilion, His Majesty Li Er issued an order to screen out all the maids inside, and even ordered all the eunuchs outside the Wangbei Pavilion to retreat, and it is strictly forbidden for idlers to approach within a hundred steps.
