Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu?"

Guo Ye had already seen who was coming, it was Li Ke, King of Shu, who was wearing a bright yellow python robe.

He couldn't help but wondered: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

When Yu Kui saw Li Ke appearing suddenly, he was secretly startled. Could it be that he heard what I said to Guo Ye just now?

Feeling guilty, he immediately clasped his fists in greeting and said, "The last general, Yu Kui, has met His Royal Highness the King of Shu, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

"Captain Yu, you don't have to be polite!"

Li Ke interrupted Yu Kui's greeting again by raising his hand, looked at him with squinted eyes, and said, "Captain Yu, what you said just now, this king has already heard everything outside the door."

hiss……

Yu Kui and Guo Ye took a breath in surprise one after another. After all, Li Ke is the heir of the royal family, a majestic prince. How could Yu Kui not feel guilty when he heard such outrageous things?

But Guo Ye was surprised in his heart, and cursed secretly, didn't he let Liu Zhenxuan keep an eye on Li Ke for me?How did he get to where I was, and let him go upstairs without me being notified?

He glanced behind Li Ke for a while, only a few personal guards, and did not find Liu Zhenxuan's figure.

It seems that Li Ke came here this time to avoid Liu Zhenxuan on purpose.

Suddenly, Guo Ye had a new evaluation of Li Ke in his mind, that is, in just a few short days, Li Ke has matured a bit, and his mind has also improved a bit. After all, he is Li Shimin's kind, and he is not an ordinary character. ah.

Now that Li Ke said that he heard the conversation with Yu Kui clearly, Guo Ye didn't bother to hide any more, but analyzed softly: "Your Highness, this matter must not be mixed up. If you bring this matter to the emperor, you can only It will cause unnecessary trouble and will not benefit you in the future."

Li Ke shook his head, but did not respond positively to Guo Ye's persuasion.

Instead, he said to Yu Kuilang: "Captain Yu, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. This king promises you, as long as you will do your best to assist this king, you will be able to defeat Liang Shidao, Xiao Yu and the others secretly planning this project in Shuzhou." The matter is made public and presented to the emperor. Then, I will not blame you for doing these bad things with Liang Shidao. And as long as the father severely punishes and investigates this matter, this king will use the blood of the king of Tang Shu and the royal family I assure you that you are not only innocent, but also have made great contributions. At that time, I will recommend you to be the general of the guards of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, in charge of all the gates of the outer gates, the three gates of the imperial city, and the three gates of the imperial city. The duty of guarding the gate is of the fourth rank."

When Yu Kui heard this, his complexion suddenly changed, his eyes were full of greed, and he asked excitedly: "Your Highness, you, are you serious? Are you trying to deceive the general?"

Zhechong Duwei's Mansion in the first mansion was suddenly promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, the general who commanded the left and right guards, and was still guarding the imperial capital Chang'an City.

To Yu Kui, this is tantamount to a carp jumping through the dragon's gate, and the world is falling apart.

Listening to Yu Kui's doubts, Li Ke shook off the wide sleeves of the python robe, with a coercion that did not match his age on his young and immature cheeks, and shouted in a cold voice: "This king takes the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, who is of the royal blood. I assure you of my identity, do you think this king is joking with you? Once upon a time, the heirs of the Tang Tian family will be reduced to the point where they have no credit at all? My father is a golden man, and you have no jokes. As his son, Yu Does the captain think that what the king said will be random?"

Yu Kui felt dizzy after hearing this, and said happily in his heart, oh my god, not only is he innocent, but he can also be promoted.

The opportunity for the carp to jump the dragon gate is right in front of you, how can you miss the opportunity in vain?

slap~

Yu Kui didn't even think about it, he decided to make a decision, and agreed decisively: "Okay, from now on, Yu will do his best for His Highness."

After expressing his position, Yu Kui didn't stay longer, and said to Li Ke again: "Your Highness, I can't stay here longer, otherwise it will inevitably arouse suspicion when people from Liang Shidao see it. In this way, when Your Highness needs the service of the last general , you only need to send someone to secretly send a message. The end general will take his leave first."

Li Ke's eyebrows were also raised, as if everything was under control, and he waved his big hand and said loudly: "Okay, Yu Duwei is waiting for the letter from the king, you can go back first. By the way, keep a close eye on Liang for the king." Shidao is a dog thief, this king will cut this dog into pieces to vent his hatred."

While speaking, Li Ke's immature face was already distorted and hideous.

Yu Kui's heart trembled, after all, he was a nobleman of the Tian family, a little anger would be powerful, and it would shock the hearts of others.

Immediately, he whispered a word of obedience, and hurriedly left the private room.When he passed by Guo Ye, he didn't even look at him. Obviously, he felt that he had already hugged Li Ke's thigh, so he didn't need to pay any attention to Guo Ye.

As soon as Yu Kui left, Guo Ye immediately pushed back the personal guards behind Li Ke, and then hastily closed the door of the private room.

Immediately afterwards, he came to Li Ke's side, and remonstrated again earnestly: "Your Highness, listen to Guo's persuasion, this matter cannot be mixed up. You must not rashly come forward and stab this matter to Your Majesty. Think about it, one is your grandfather, the other is your father, and you will bring this matter to Chang'an. How will the civil and military of the Manchu court treat you? How will the emperor treat you?"

"Hehe." Li Ke sneered, and said, "Guo Changshi, you are worrying too much. In the eyes of my father, my grandfather's existence is a constraint. Now, this king will clear the obstacles for my father, so that He flexes his muscles and is free from the constraints of others. Guo Changshi, don’t you think this is a godsend opportunity? Maybe through this incident, my father will treat me differently. When the time comes, hehe Hmph, the Prince's brother and Wei Wang's brother can be pampered by the emperor, why can't I?"

When Guo Ye heard this, he knew something bad was going to happen. This kid obviously still didn't understand his father, and he just wanted to compete with Prince Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai for a while.

Immediately, he persuaded again earnestly: "Your Highness, you are wrong. The matter is not as simple as you think. You don't understand the emperor. In the emperor's heart, he doesn't think so at all. For the old man, the emperor, the emperor will only..."

"Guo Changshi!"

Li Ke didn't allow Guo Ye to finish speaking, and refused in a blunt voice: "You don't need to say more, and you don't need to persuade. This king has made up his mind, and no one can change it. The opportunity is right in front of this king. Miss it so easily?"

Guo Ye still didn't give up, this unlucky kid is really a bear, this is about to enter the magic barrier.

Then, he raised his voice and shouted: "Your Highness, if you do this, you will definitely regret it! I absolutely do not agree with you!"

"presumptuous!!"

Li Ke yelled sharply: "Guo Changshi, don't confuse our identities. This king is the governor of Shu Prefecture appointed by the emperor, and you? It's just a senior secretary in my governor's mansion." .In the eyes of this king, you are just a servant, a servant, and a servant. Do you understand? Hmph, you broke the rules!!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around with a gloomy face, opened the door of the private room full of displeasure, and left in a huff.

servant?servant?

Your grandma, want to make meritorious deeds, are you crazy?Loyalty is harsh to the ear, but he still abused Lao Tzu so badly?You little wolf cub is still a complete white-eyed wolf cub.

Guo Ye was filled with indignation and deep disappointment, completely disappointed in Li Ke, King of Shu.

Standing alone in the private room, he was dazed for a long time, and soon, he had another idea in his heart...

Chapter 667 An Unhealable Crack

In the next few days, Li Ke, King of Shu's personality changed drastically, becoming strange to Guo Ye, and even a little paranoid and frightening.

Where is the current Li Ke still the meek and courteous Li Ke back then?There is an unprecedented confidence in every gesture, and even more decisive and ruthless strikes when speaking.

What on earth could have made such a teenager so fast and so scary?In the final analysis, Guo Ye can only understand that desire is at work, and it is the rapidly expanding desire in Li Ke's heart that is at work.

In just a few days, Li Ke disregarded his duties and authority as the governor of Shuzhou, pretending that the royal family and princes were not allowed to interfere in local government affairs.Not only did he order Yu Kui to control and surround the arsenal hidden under Manglong Mountain, but he also captured all the stolen goods.

Moreover, he also used this as an excuse to send hundreds of his own soldiers to break into the governor's mansion of Shuzhou directly wearing armor and sabers, and took Liang Shidao into the dungeon.At the same time, it was announced that he would take over the military administration of Shuzhou and concurrently serve as the governor of Shuzhou.

As soon as this news came out, the other eight surrounding state capitals were shocked, and the five Zhechong captains who secretly colluded with Liang Shidao were in a state of panic all day long, for fear that this matter would affect themselves.

When Li Ke heard about it, he immediately asked Yu Kui to come forward and go to various state capitals to appease the captain Zhechong in other prefectures to contact him.He asked Yu Kui to convey his intentions. As long as several other people swear allegiance and come forward to expose and testify to Liang Shidao and Xiao Yu's terrifying conspiracy, Li Ke will not only let the past go, but also promise them to make contributions.

The reason why Li Ke was lenient and even reused the six captains involved in the case was not because Li Ke was merciful.On the contrary, it is because Li Ke really has no one available, and he urgently needs to recruit and recruit people to serve him.

Besides, for him, it was meaningless to kill the six Zhechong captains including Yu Kui.He clearly believed that what he wanted to bring down was Liang Shidao, Xiao Yu, and even his grandfather Li Yuan.Only by defeating these big tigers would it be enough for him to crow as a young eagle in front of his father and steal the limelight.As for whether to fight the little flies, it is already optional.

This series of things are being operated in his hands in an orderly manner, without any messiness.It can be seen that although Li Ke is young, his artifice and tricks are well known from his father, His Majesty Li Er.

It can be said that he has changed from passive to active, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain. In just a few days, he has controlled the military affairs of Kyushu, and even completely controlled the military affairs of Shuzhou.

Just for this series of big moves, Guo Ye couldn't help admiring that although this kid is crazy, his ability is indeed better than Prince Li Chengqian's by many times.

It's a pity, it's a pity that in Guo Ye's eyes, this kid is playing with fire, playing with fire and setting himself on fire.

These days, he didn't get involved in Li Ke's actions at all. He deliberately avoided or even stayed away from this whirlpool of right and wrong.
