Chapter 159 The conversation between four people

The four of them came to the study room, and Li Ke said with a serious expression, "What do you think about Hou Ruoyi's betrothal prince this time?"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Ma Zhou and others were still wondering whether Li Ke had really recovered from the Hou Ruoyi incident. Therefore, they did not understand what Li Ke meant at this time.

"Changsun Wuji is so determined to kill me. Can I just sit still and wait for death and be slaughtered?" Li Ke's tone was stern and his expression was gloomy. He had recovered from the blow of this matter and had seen the current form clearly. Therefore, he did not want to remain silent anymore, he did not want to tolerate it anymore, he wanted to fight back.

"Your Highness, the marriage between Hou Ruoyi and the Crown Prince can be planned so carefully in a short period of time. It can be seen that Changsun Wuji had planned it as early as when His Highness and Hou Ruoyi met." Ma Zhou glanced at Li Ke and saw that Li Ke's face had not changed when he talked about Hou Ruoyi and the Crown Prince's marriage, and did not show any pain or anger. He believed that Li Ke had really recovered from the blow of this matter, so he said without any concealment, "And the ministers in the court supported his fears

I'm afraid there are many, otherwise it would be not difficult to handle this matter with his ability, but it is not easy to handle the prince's wedding calmly in just one month. So, "Ma Zhou analyzed this, and Li Ke knew what he wanted to say, "So, this matter was planned by Changsun Wuji, but there were many people involved. Empress Changsun, who became the prince's biological mother, would definitely be involved in it, and Hou Junji, as Hou Ruoyi's biological father, could he be related to this matter?"

"What Bin Wang said makes sense," Xu Jingzong looked at Li Ke and continued to add to Ma Zhou's analysis. "Wu Ruoyi met His Highness. When Hou Junji knew about this, he did not object, but supported Hou Ruoyi's relationship with His Highness and wanted to use this to form an alliance with His Highness. Although he is Hou Ruoyi's biological father, he cannot rule out that he has other intentions. Then what is his purpose? If he wants to marry Changsun Wuji, how could he be betrothed Hou Ruoyi to the crown prince after his highness and Hou Ruoyi know each other? How could he marry Changsun Wuji after his highness and Hou Ruoyi know each other?"

"What about the Zhaoyan clan's meaning?" Li Ke's eyes flashed. He suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought. There must be secrets or conspiracies behind it that he did not know.

"The crown prince has the status of today, Changsun Wuji is extremely rewarding. Hou Junji wants to join his son by marriage. His position in the prince's heart will never be as good as Changsun Wuji. Even if he makes great contributions to the prince's work in the future, he will not be able to replace Changsun Wuji's position. Therefore, if he does not want to betroth Hou Ruoyi to the crown prince, even if the emperor issues an imperial edict, he can wait for His Highness to come back for ten days and half a month. How could he agree to the prince's marriage so happily, accept the betrothal gift and make the date of the wedding in such a short time? Therefore, the minister believes that the reason why Hou Junji agreed to this marriage so simply must have a deal with Changsun Wuji."

"The Yan clan's analysis is good. Hou Junji is quite wise and is definitely not comparable to ordinary generals. Since he deliberately wanted to form an alliance with His Highness, he could see that he is quite ambitious and is definitely not willing to be a inferior person. Therefore, the Hou Junji mentioned by the Yan clan just now can also think that even if he made great contributions to the prince in the future, he would not be able to replace Changsun Wuji's position. Therefore, the transaction between him and Changsun Wuji due to the marriage between Hou Ruoyi and the prince may reveal his future career. The two of them all form their alliance based on their respective interests, but such an alliance will be broken with the imbalance of interests between the two," Ma Zhou continued, "Since your highness wants to take action, why not wait until the alliance between them is destroyed?"

"Well, what Binwang said makes sense." Liu Rengui, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly said, "Your Highness, the last general also agrees with Binwang's point of view."

After listening to the analysis of Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong, Li Ke understood the key. Indeed, just as Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong analyzed, Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji were both unwilling to be inferior to others. They formed an alliance at this time for their own interests. If there was a long time, friction would definitely occur, and cracks would definitely appear in the alliance. At that time, if he took action, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, Li Ke could not tolerate Changsun Wuji's unscrupulous use of conspiracy methods to him by using Changsun Wuji's favorite woman as a chess piece to make him suffer. Therefore, he was somewhat unacceptable to the dissuasion of Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui, so he turned his attention to Xu Jingzong to see his opinion, "What does the Yan clan mean?"

"Your Highness, if you can't bear it, you will be in trouble," Xu Jingzong advised, "It will be difficult to hit Changsun Wuji's arrogance with our current strength. If you just make a small fight, you will not shake Changsun Wuji's foundation at all, and instead you will be guarded by him, making it even more difficult for us to try again in the future. Therefore, what I mean is that Your Highness should not learn from King Goujian of Yue, look down on him and wait for the opportunity?"

After hearing Xu Jingzong's words, Li Ke remained silent. Ma Zhou was a famous minister in Zhenguan. He was knowledgeable and had a unique vision when he saw the problem. He analyzed the problem and pointed it directly at the key points. He told Li Ke that Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji would have cracks due to interests. Li Ke must believe it. Xu Jingzong's talent was good. In history, he and the etiquette costumes jointly brought down Changsun Wuji, so Li Ke had to listen to his analysis of Changsun Wuji. Li Ke was not a person who was determined to act alone. After hearing the advice of two think tanks around him and Liu Rengui, he adopted their suggestions, but at the same time he was very conflicted. He thought of his anger in his heart, but he thought that he would not affect the overall situation of Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong's plan with him just now because of his actions.

Although Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong were very calm, they were very nervous, fearing that Li Ke would not listen to their advice and act on his own. Liu Rengui understood from the analysis of Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong what consequences would have for him in the future if Li Ke took action against Changsun Wuji at this moment, so he also had no unnecessary changes on his face, but he was also very nervous.

"Hey, let's stop this matter." Li Ke sighed, "Since you three say that, then I will hold back this tone for the time being."

"Your Highness is wise." The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after Li Ke finished speaking. At the same time, Ma Zhou flattered Li Ke in an appropriate manner.

"But." As soon as Ma Zhou's flattery was finished, he saw a majestic look on Li Ke's face, and his tone was firm and unrefutable, "There is something I must do. Even if you stop me, I will not stop."

When the three of them heard what Li Ke said so seriously, their expressions became very serious when they just relaxed. It was Ma Zhou who calmed down and asked, "I wonder what this is said about His Highness?"

When Li Ke saw the solemn reaction of the three of them, he knew that they were frightened by the tone of what he said just now. He slightly restrained his domineering aura, smiled slightly, and slowly said what he wanted to do. Ma Zhou, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui all took a look after Li Ke's words and stopped talking. They knew that since Li Ke had just said that he would not stop even if he stopped him. So, they knew that the words to persuade Li Ke on this matter would definitely not have any effect. Instead of dissuading him, why not come up with a proper way for him? Because of this, the three of them were all in deep thought.

After a while, just as Li Ke opened the "Analects of Confucius" on the desk, Ma Zhou seemed to have made a decision. He coughed and then told Li Ke his plan out. After Ma Zhou finished speaking, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui raised some of their own supplementary opinions, and Li Ke nodded involuntarily. When Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong planned the matter carefully, a smile finally appeared on Li Ke's face.

Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong couldn't help but feel a sudden sudden feeling when they saw Li Ke's strange smile in the study room under the setting sun. They felt that Li Ke had already made a plan in his heart, and their thinking was just to teach a few people.

Changsun Bingning, who returned to Changsun Mansion, was still thinking about what Li Ke said to her at the city gate, "I'm waiting for you in the Han Palace." Although Li Ke was saying this, he was mixed with dissatisfaction with her hesitation, she could see from the expression when Li Ke said this to her that Li Ke had made a decision when treating her and her feelings. Then, she thought of what Li Ke said to her on the bridge, "The sparks in your eyes once made me fascinated, and your heart now made me no longer confused about love. Bingning, if you believe me, I will definitely use the accumulated feelings to turn into that moment of affectionate gaze, hiding you forever in your heart, and not letting anyone hurt you."

Li Ke's affectionate confession was like a sharp knife breaking her chest, poaching her heart, and then putting her heart on her. After Li Ke finished saying that, he was the only one in her heart.

"Bing Ning once left and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River. However, since I met you, I found that you are the warmest dawn in my life in more than ten years. Even if you will be gray in a few years, I am willing to follow you and turn into the sunset together, and never leave you." Changsun Bing Ning thought of Li Ke's confession to her on the bridge and gently chanted his confession to Li Ke on the bridge.

After a while, her eyes became cold from the heat just now, and then became harder. Finally, a firm look appeared in her eyes. She said in secret, "Your Highness, Bing Ning said that she would not leave you, and she would follow you for the rest of her life." After saying this, Changsun Bing Ning came out of her room and left Changsun's mansion.
