Especially Zhangsun Wuji, Li Chengqian was his nephew and was already the future crown prince. If Li Shimin made an exception and made Li Ke the crown prince because Li Ke sent people to save the emperor today, he would be the crown prince.
It seemed that he still had to do a few more operations. He needed to pay more attention to this "silkpants" Li Ke.
Zhangsun Wuji made up his mind.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others also began to take Li Ke seriously because of this matter. It was too much of a coincidence. Was Li Ke doing this on purpose or was it a coincidence?
Li Ke's reputation was not limited to Li Shiming Group, but also the entire Chang 'an City!
He was young and romantic. He did not care about the views of the secular world. He was "cynical" and was not an ordinary imperial family member. Li Ke did not put on airs. He could drink with the common people and communicate with merchants.
In ancient times, how many scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants would be willing to make friends with merchants regardless of their status?
Li Ke was different. He did not look down on merchants from the bottom of his heart and was even willing to make friends with them.
However, everyone in Li Shiming's group knew that Li Shiming didn't deliberately teach Li Ke, he just let Li Ke do whatever he wanted.
Although it was a kind of pampering on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Shimin did not put his mind on Li Ke at all.
Therefore, Li Ke had almost no support in Li Shimin's group. Even if he did, he was an old official from the Sui Dynasty.
After today's incident, Li Ke would definitely be noticed by Li Shiming. Since Lu Jianxing had saved Li Shiming's life, Li Shiming would definitely not be stingy with his rewards. Li Ke might even be able to compete with Li Chengqian for the position of Crown Prince!
Although the possibility of this was extremely low, it was not impossible. Therefore, the people of Li Shiming Group silently took Li Ke to heart.
There was another person who cared more about Li Ke than Zhangsun Wuji, and that was…Hou Junji!
Lu Jianxing first knocked him down in a few moves, causing him to lose face in front of his subordinates, and then caused him to be reprimanded by the King of Qin. This debt could only be credited to Li Ke!
Including Li Shimin, everyone in Li Shimin Group had their own thoughts.
"Haha, Mister Lu first saved this king's life and protected this king from sneak attacks. You can be called this king's savior. Calling this benefactor Mister is to express this king's gratitude towards this benefactor's life-saving grace. When this matter is over, this king will definitely reward you handsomely."
The people from Li Shiming Group were even more shocked.
It seemed that Li Ke's position in Li Shiming's heart was almost equal to Li Jiancheng's!
But did Li Shimin really think so? How could a subordinate so easily see through the thoughts of an emperor who was proficient in the art of emperors?
Li Shiming's eyes were full of sincerity as he looked at Lu Jianxing.
"Thank you for your kindness, but... Lu Mou did not dare to be greedy for credit. He had been taken care of by the Third Young Master all these years. Today, he was able to save His Highness. First, it was God's will in the King of Qin. Second, the Third Young Master ordered me to come in time. Third, it was my duty. His Highness was a lucky person. Even if Lu Mou did not arrive in time, His Highness would be fine.”
Lu Jian Xing's words were sincere, as if he was willing to die for his confidant. He pushed away all the credit and praised Li Shi Min, which made Li Shi Min very happy.
Looking at Li Shiming's smile, Lu Jianxing's admiration for his master was like a surging river.
"Li Shi Min is a man of great achievements. After you save him, you only need to flatter him and then deny your achievements. Although I can't guarantee you the title of king or marquis, I can still make you a third rank official.”
"Lu Jian Xing doesn't want to be conferred the title of king or marquis, he only wants to serve under master.”
"You don't have to think too much about it. This matter is beneficial to both of us. Don't be careless when you interact with Li Shiming. It's best if you don't interact with anyone in Li Shiming's group.”
Seeing that his master did not seem to be joking, although he did not understand what his master meant, Lu Jianxing still nodded.
Lu Jian Xing, who was loyal to Li Ke, did everything according to Li Ke's orders today.
Otherwise, Lu Jianxing wouldn't have offended Hou Junji and caused trouble for his master.
"Oh right, what is Third Brother doing? Why did the Guanyin maid come to the third courtyard?”
uh
Lu Jianxing almost didn't react.
Then, he looked at Li Shiming, who was beaming with joy.。。... uh... His gaze was a little strange.
Li Shi Min was baffled.
Fortunately, Lu Jian Xing quickly gave Li Shi Min an answer.
"According to the Jinyiwei's report, yesterday, because they were unhappy that Third Young Master could leave the residence freely, Eldest Young Master and Fourth Young Master each led a team of guards to block Third Young Master in the residence. They wanted to teach Third Young Master a lesson, but they were beaten black and blue by Third Young Master. Today, the princess went to look for Third Young Master to ask for an explanation. The princess let slip, so Third Young Master sent subordinates to protect the king. At this moment, Third Young Master should be having a heart-to-heart talk with the princess!”
"Hmph, nonsense! I was wondering why there were so few guards today. It seems like I haven't disciplined Chengqian and Vermillion Bird enough. If only Third Brother could let me worry less, but fortunately, you're here.”
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Lu Jianxing grinned.
