.Li Ke was the last to leave Tai Chi Hall. He slowly walked down the steps of Tai Chi Hall, and he still had doubts in his heart. 1 (1) Li Shimin gave himself such great power, even if he did not have the ability to command all the troops of the Northern Palace, including Youzhou, Tongzhou, Bingzhou, Daizhou, and Yingzhou, there were more than 200,000 troops and more than 200,000 border guards. What a powerful force, wouldn't Li Shimin think that Li Ke would be the biggest threat to Li Chengqian's throne in the future? Since his throne can only be obtained through his brother Xiao Qiang, wouldn't he be afraid that he would do this?

However, Li Ke immediately thought about the whole story of the Xuanwu Gate coup, and felt that he was too worried. As for the story of the Xuanwu Gate coup, Li Shimin won the victory at that time. It was a coincidence that he took advantage of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to take the opportunity to kill him at Xuanwu Gate and ask him to really set off his position with Li Jiancheng to seize the position of prince, which was probably impossible, because this was too obvious and Li Yuan would not agree.

If Li Jiancheng really ascended the throne, even if Li Shimin has strong power, he would not have a chance. After all, if he competed for the throne with Li Jiancheng again, it would be a rebellion. The nature would be different at that time, and he would definitely not get the support of the people and the gentry.

Therefore, after Li Ke's analysis, I felt that I was overly worried. As long as Li Shimin is in power for one day, would he dare to challenge Li Chengqian's position as crown prince? I definitely won't. If I really challenge, it would be a search for death. Li Shimin had to reasonably arrange for Li Chengqian to ascend the throne. Li Chengqian was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally he did not dare to openly rebel and lose the people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Li Ke suddenly felt that he suspected that the Xuanwu Gate coup might have other reasons. Now, when he thought about it, he really felt that this was the case. According to the situation before the Xuanwu Gate coup, Li Jiancheng was useless, but there were many people supporting him. Even if Li Shimin's family dominated, Li Jiancheng still had a lot of power, and the Sixth Route in the East Palace was a strong soldier. But why did he think of such a stupid strategy to kill Li Shimin? How could such a confidential plan be leaked and let Li Shimin learn about it?

So, Li Ke must have a secret!

"Your Highness, the Emperor asked you to go to the Imperial Study Room to reply!"

Li Ke walked on the imperial road from Tai Chi Hall to Qianqiu Hall, thinking about the real reason for the Xuanwu Gate coup, and heard Wang De's voice coming from his ears.

"Father is looking for me?" Li Ke stopped and asked Wang De in front of him.

"Yes, besides the emperor, there is also the prince of Beiping!" Wang De gave Li Ke a prompt.

"Well, then it's a blessing for Eunuch Wang!" Li Ke said politely to Wang De. When he heard that there was a sudden victory, Li Ke knew that Li Shimin must have found him for the purpose of marrying Ashinayun.

Taking back his thoughts, Li Ke followed Wang De to the imperial study room of Ganquan Palace.

After kneeling down to Li Shimin, he bowed to Tu Li.

After the ceremony, he heard Li Shimin say, "Do you have any arrangements for your marriage?"

Royal weddings are usually handled by the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple, so Li Shimin asked Li Ke privately here, but in fact he wanted to ask Li Ke if he had any other requirements. This is another manifestation of his favor.

"My son respectfully follows the arrangements of his father and has no suggestions!" Li Ke said respectfully.

"Well---Some time ago, I talked to Li Jing about the war between Mobei and the Turks in detail. He suggested that I start to streamline the troops and establish a powerful army to fight in all directions and guard the Tang Dynasty. All parts of the country can just throw a small number of troops except for important border towns. What do you think about this?" Li Shimin wanted to ask Li Ke.

Li Ke naturally knew Li Jing's suggestion. This suggestion was what he suggested to Li Jing when he was in Mobei. It was to reform the military system to the right of the professional army. At that time, Li Jing said that he would advise Li Shimin when he returned to Chang'an. He did not expect that his work efficiency would be so high, so he gave Li Shimin advice. Li Ke knew in his heart that Li Jing might mention him when he advised Li Shimin, so Li Shimin would ask him.

"Father, my son think General Li's advice is very good!" Li Ke replied simply.

"Then who do you think is suitable for commander and forming this army?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

When Li Shimin spoke this sentence, Li Ke immediately understood his doubts. Why did Li Shimin boldly hand over all the power of the north to himself? If he wanted to implement elite troops and simplify government, the soldiers and horses of many states and counties in the north would be cut off, so that the number of troops in his hands would not be large. Moreover, today Li Shimin asked him about the candidates for the commander of the army and horse. The meaning was very obvious, that is, to prevent him from interfering in this matter. In this case, the commander of the army and horses would definitely not be himself. As long as the court had such an elite army, could he still dare to hold troops and respect himself?

Sure enough, Li Shimin is worthy of being a talented and stubborn emperor! His seemingly simple appointments actually have a backup plan.

Li Ke relieved his doubts and said to Li Shimin, "My son thinks General Li is the most suitable!"

The Tang Dynasty's military now has no suitable person besides Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and Li Ji! Hou Junji is also fine, but Li Ke thought of Hou Junji's restlessness in history, and he was afraid that he would recommend Hou Junji now. If Hou Junji really wanted to rebel, Li Shimin might blame him for the reason. However, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong did not dare to mention it. Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were two famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, one of them served as the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, and the other served as the Minister of Rites. This is enough to show Li Shimin's thoughts. As for Li Ji, he has become an enemy of him now, and Li Ke naturally would not selflessly suggest that he holds this position. He may be the one who suffers. Therefore, Li Ke suggested that Li Jing, even though Li Jing is old now, even if Li Jing has decided to retire now.

"Well" Li Shimin saw that Li Ke recommended Li Jing, he just nodded slightly and did not express his opinion. The sudden attack on the side couldn't figure out what Li Shimin and Li Ke were talking about, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Then you go down! You will return to Bingzhou until the wedding is completed. You must be more at peace during this period!" Li Shimin said lightly.

"Oh, I'm going to leave!" Li Ke said. He was shocked now. He didn't know what the last sentence in Li Shimin's words meant. Could it be that he was warning himself, but what was he warning himself?

Therefore, after exiting the imperial study, Li Ke hurried to Qianqiu Palace. After paying respects to Concubine Yang, he did not stop for a long time, but went back to the house directly. He felt that the last sentence Li Shimin said would not be aimless, and there must be a reason. He wanted to figure out what Li Shimin was warning himself.

Also, Li Ke felt that there was a historical issue that he had to figure out, which was related to his future, and that was the real reason for the Xuanwu Gate coup.
