"Sixth brother, shut up."
Li Ke saw Li Yin repeatedly provoking Cen Wen Wen and scolded him.
Li Ni looked aggrieved as he looked at Li Ke."Third brother, you actually scolded me for an outsider?”
"Your Highness, it's all my fault."
Cen Wen Wen smiled bitterly. As a minister of the Sui Dynasty, he was in an awkward situation.
As the saying goes, sending charcoal in the snow shows true feelings. When the Li family rebelled, Cen Wen was still under Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Now that the Li family was stable, he had come over. Under such circumstances, he naturally had no sense of existence in the court.
Cen Wen Wen had real abilities, so he was naturally unwilling to live an ordinary life. Therefore, he tried his best to make his presence known in front of Li Shi Min, and even set his sights on the prince.
What made people helpless was that there were many talents around the Crown Prince, and he couldn't squeeze in. The King of Wei was arrogant and didn't like him. Just as Cen Wen Wen was racking his brains to think of a solution, Li Shimin's words to Li Ke gave him a glimmer of hope.
In all fairness, among the princes, Li Ke's talent was definitely one of the top few. Moreover, he had the bloodline of two dynasties and had a noble status. It was not impossible for him to sit on the throne.
It was also because of this that Cen Wen Wen began to get close to Li Ke, but he was a cautious person and never expressed his position easily, so as not to get into trouble in the future.
"Sir, please don't blame me. Can you tell me about the conflict between the Crown Prince and the Wang family and give me some pointers?”
Li Ke cupped his hands at Cen Wen Wen, sincerely asking for advice.
Before Cen Benwen came, he had already guessed Li Ke's purpose and had already made a corresponding plan in his heart. When he heard this, he said,"Your Highness is too polite. This matter is just a very normal matter. What is unexpected is that the Crown Prince has stepped down, which triggered a series of subsequent events.”
When Li Ke heard Cen Wen Wen's words, he frowned as he thought about the entire situation, if Ye Feng did not make a move, it would really be a very ordinary matter.
It was very normal for the sons of powerful families to fight with each other. It happened every few days in Chang 'an. Generally speaking, once the five surnames and the seven Wangs entered the battlefield, the people who were beaten would choose to swallow their anger and even take the initiative to apologize.
"Sir is right."
Li Ke nodded and looked at Cen Wenwen, asking,""Sir, what do you think of this matter?”
Cen Wen Wen saw that Li Ke was very respectful to him and couldn't help but feel a little touched. He thought for a moment and said,"Your Highness, this time, the Crown Prince stood up for the Wu family and offended the Wang family of Taiyuan. It is not wise. Your Highness just needs to wait patiently.”
"Thank you for your guidance, Mister."
Li Ke understood the meaning behind Cen Wen's words and cupped his hands at him.
Cen Wen was worried that he would be labeled as Li Ke and did not dare to stay in the palace for long. He said,"If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first.”
"Sir, take care."
Li Ke bowed. It wasn't that he didn't want to send Cen Wen, but Cen Wen didn't want him to.
When Li Yin saw Cen Wen Wen leave, he pursed his lips and said unhappily,""Third brother, why do you value him so much? I think what he said is all nonsense. There's nothing useful.”
"Haha!"
Li Ke laughed softly, his eyes flashing with a bright light. He shook his head and said,""Sixth Brother, I've told you long ago that Mr. Cen is very talented. What he said just now was not nonsense at all.”
"I hate this kind of person the most. He speaks in a fog and makes people unable to understand him at all.”
Li Yin scratched his head with a depressed expression.
Li Ke patted Li Yin's shoulder and smiled.""Alright, don't be depressed. I'll get someone to prepare some wine and dishes later.”
"Hehe, this is possible."
Li Yin's eyes lit up, and he became interested.
.......
On the official road!
"The matter of Wu Meiniang becoming the Crown Princess was bestowed by His Majesty. This matter…"
Cen Wen Wen frowned as he pondered, he knew his situation, if he wanted to gain power, he had to seize every opportunity, he was trying to figure out if Li Shi Min was behind Ye Feng and the Wang family.
With hesitation in his heart, Cen Wen Wen returned home and locked himself in his study. He had to think carefully about what the Emperor meant by this matter. He had to comply with the Emperor's will.
.......
Dew Palace!
Li Shi Min's face turned red, he was obviously drunk, he grabbed Ye Feng's shoulder and complained: ""Crown Prince, you've beaten the green sparrow too badly. Next time, can you be gentler?”
"Next time?"
Ye Feng was stunned, he smiled and nodded: ""Father, I will try my best."
"Burp!"
Li Shiming burped and said with a smile,"That's right. You and Green Sparrow are of the same mother. After all, he's your biological brother. If you hit him too hard, it won't be easy for me to deal with him.”
"Father, your son understands."
The corner of Ye Feng's lips curled up as he thought: ""Since Imperial Father has said so, should I find an opportunity to beat Li Tai up again? Otherwise, wouldn't he be letting down his father's good intentions in vain?”
At the side.
Zhangsun Wugou heard the conversation between Li Shi Min and Ye Feng, he frowned: ""Crown Prince, you and Green Sparrow fought again?”
"Mother, your son is doing this for the good of the green sparrow.”
Ye Feng nodded and said softly.
"Sigh…"
Zhangsun Wugou felt helpless. Her palms and hands were all fleshy. In the end, she turned her gaze to Li Shimin and complained,"Your Majesty, it's all your fault for spoiling the green sparrow.”
