" Conferring the title of King of Shu to the Third Prince, Li Ke, as well as the title of Governor of Yizhou…"
A voice that sounded like the might of the heavens rang out in the hall.
Just as Li Ke regained his senses and was about to bow to thank him, something unexpected happened.
A sudden voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the Third Prince being conferred the title of King of Shu. However, isn't it inappropriate for him to be the Governor of Yizhou?”
Among the officials, the figure of an imperial censor stepped out. Accompanied by a sudden voice, he appeared in the eyes of everyone in the hall.
Li Ke's gaze also turned towards the person who had just come out, dressed in the Imperial Censor's uniform. A strange expression appeared in his eyes, and he stopped his actions of bowing. His pair of star-like eyes did not say anything, but looked at Li Shiming above.
At the same time, because of this unforeseen event, the hall fell into a terrifying silence.
…………
In the end, it was Li Shiming who broke the silence.
"I wonder if the Qing family has any different opinions?”His calm voice made it impossible to hear any emotion.
"Your Majesty, we have no objections to the Third Prince being named King of Shu. However, the position of Governor of Yizhou is too important.”
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the position of Governor is in charge of the military and political affairs of a state. I think that it is difficult for the Third Prince to take on this important task.”
"Is it difficult to take on this heavy responsibility?"
"Ke 'er, do you have anything to say?”
In the main hall, Li Shiming suddenly stopped talking when he heard the words of the censor. He looked at Li Ke, who was standing behind the officials.
Facing Li Shiming's gaze, Li Ke touched his nose speechlessly.'Father, this is a discussion about making your son the Governor of Yizhou. Isn't it a bit too much for you to ask me, the person involved, to speak?'
However, looking at Li Shiming, who was sitting on the dragon throne with some inexplicable anticipation, Li Ke knew that he could not push him away. He slowly came out from behind the ministers.
"Imperial Father, your son has nothing to say. However, I would like to ask this Imperial Censor. How did he know that your son could not take on this important task?”
"Could it be that he knows fortune-telling? If that was the case, then this censor was really versatile!”
With a trace of mockery on his face, Li Ke looked at the censor beside him. At this moment, he did not hide his eyes. In any case, it was his cheap father who asked him to say it. Then, no matter what he said, no one would blame him, right?
Li Ke didn't need to guess to know that his second brother, Li Kuan, was hostile to him. It was nothing more than the throne. Li Ke didn't care much about it. If the historical records were correct, his father hated fighting between brothers. The more Li Kuan was like this, the further away he was from the throne. It was funny that he was still pretending to look at him. He was just a King of Chu. If it was the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, perhaps Li Ke would be more serious.
But now, with the inexplicable hostility in the Imperial Court and the censor stepping forward, Li Ke could not help but feel angry. This was because this appointment was related to his new lottery chance! Although Li Ke had also roughly guessed some of the reasons.
Yes, even though he did not care about the situation in the court, Li Ke was a transmigrator who knew the history of Li Shimin's time. Although this was a fantasy version of the Great Tang, some of the general historical trajectories were still the same.
Li Ke's low profile over the past ten years was also due to this.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Ke understood why the censor had stepped forward.
The biggest reason was that Li Ke was born into a noble family. His father and mother were both descendants of the Sui and Tang royal families. His great-grandmother and great-grandmother were the daughters of one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Great Sima, the Duke of Wei, and the Duke of the Three Dynasties.
Therefore, he was the descendant of Yang Sui, Li Tang, and the Dugu Family. He was also the descendant of two great emperors who were closely related by blood.
Logically speaking, with such a deep background, he should be the most advantageous competitor for the throne.
But in reality, this was not the case. In history, it was impossible for Li Ke to become an emperor. The reason was very simple. He had the bloodline of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
The bloodline of the previous emperor was enough to put an end to his thoughts.
This was also the case in history. After Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, Zhangsun Wuji took over the power and persecuted Li Ke and his half-brother Li. The two were accused of treason and were both killed.
However, that was in history. The current Li Ke, whether it was his identity as a transmigrator or his cheat, had decided that Li Ke would not be like in history.
Isn't it just the throne? It seemed that his low profile in the palace had been underestimated by some people!
At this moment, Li Ke also understood. One had to know that he was a prince. A prince would either become the emperor, or become a skeleton like in history, or be humiliated and placed under house arrest. Other than that, there was no way out.
He had been keeping a low profile in the palace for more than ten years, which made the ministers, perhaps even his father, think that he had given up on the fight for the throne.
Thinking of this, the corners of Li Ke's mouth curled up. Then, he would let them see his different self this time.
" Third Prince, the position of Governor of Yizhou is comparable to that of a Great General. Although the Great Tang Dynasty doesn't have a Great General, every Marquis is a famous existence in the world…"
Although he did not finish his sentence, the officials in the hall could hear it.
Although the princes were of noble status, the Tang Empire was founded on martial arts. The current Emperor, Li Shimin, had an unfathomable cultivation base. His Dragon Fist could suppress the world. This was the foundation of the Tang Empire's rule over the Divine Great Land.
Li Ke was conferred the title of King of Shu, and no one could find fault with him. However, the position of Yizhou's Grand Governor could be discussed.
This was probably another reason why the censor dared to come out, other than Li Ke's bloodline from the previous dynasty.
However, it was a pity that the censor wanted to use this to make things difficult for Li Ke, but he was destined to make a wrong calculation.
Looking at the censor beside him, a smile appeared in Li Ke's eyes.
The Great Tang revered martial arts. Since his status meant that he could not compete for the throne like an ordinary prince, then he would use his martial arts to make a name for himself!
"The censor thinks that my cultivation is insufficient, right? Then, what if my strength is enough to suppress Yizhou?”
