Chapter 101
At the royal night banquet, Li Xiao's name once again came to the sky.
It was the first time that Wu's family became interested in a small field man.
A country housekeeper can ask the right-leading general to present a secret recipe for frosting and sugar decolorization. A country housekeeper can also contact Princess Gaoyang and even talk about military and national affairs. Especially the strategy of pacifying Liao is so insightful, let alone, such a country housekeeper can also write a very good poem.
Wu is very curious about Li Xiao now. She even vaguely feels that Gao Yang's change in attitude towards her may be related to this Li Sanlang.
At today's banquet, the one who showed off the limelight was not Princess Gaoyang, who was always eye-catching and focused on everyone, nor was Prince Li Zhen of Yue who was attacked at the banquet, nor was Prince Li Ke of Wu who was forced by the emperor to be unable to answer, but Li Xiao, who had never even been exposed.
In front of the royal relatives of the Mandian Emperor, Li Sanlang, who was humble to the soil, successfully attracted everyone's attention.
After the banquet, Li Zhi and Wu sat on the bed and talked about Li Sanlang.
"Does my beloved concubine really believe Gao Yang's words? There are such talents in this world but they are left in the countryside? But they are still so young?" Li Zhi said while enjoying Wu's massage on his shoulders.
"Your Majesty, I think there is no need for Gao Yang to deceive us. Today she said it in front of everyone, and this kind of thing can't deceive anyone. As long as Your Majesty summons Li Sanlang to the front and summons him to the right, he will know clearly whether he has the ability or not. If it is fake, he will definitely have to reveal his strength. Besides, why did Gao Yang deceive Your Majesty, and what good is this for her?"
Wu carefully analyzed for Li Zhi that Gao Yang's change made her like her very much. If Gao Yang really changed his attitude and even supported her in the future, she would be willing to say something good for her.
Li Zhi nodded.
"Now I am really interested in this Li Xiao. You said, if Li Xiao really has that talent, should I appreciate and use him?"
"It is of course to use the virtuous and appoint capable people. However, according to Gao Yang, Li Xiao is just a small landlord in the countryside. Although he is innocent, he is from a poor family. If he is rashly promoted and reused, it will violate the system. Your Majesty might as well find an opportunity, give him a half position first, and then slowly promote him to apply for it."
Li Zhi suddenly frowned.
"How do you think Li Xiao knows Gao Yang? Li Sanlang seems to be not old, so Gao Yang and him..."
Gao Yang's reputation has never been very good. If Li Xiao is also Gao Yang's subordinate, then things would be difficult to deal with. Although Li Zhi also wanted to appoint talents, if Li Xiao was Gao Yang's lover, then...
"Let me check it first." Wu said next to him.
Gao Yang was in a good mood today. When he left the palace, the third brother, King Wu, called her and said thank you very much. "That Li Xiao is a talent. If you have time, you can recommend it to the third brother. Such talents cannot be buried. If you have the chance, the third brother is willing to help him."
"Thank you today. Thank you for helping your third brother. Don't be too tempted in the future. You love will be released from Beijing soon. If you stay in Beijing, take care of yourself and don't go out to make trouble..."
Gao Yang's eyes were a little red. Although there were many brothers and sisters in the royal family, there were too many intrigues. Perhaps the only one who really cared about her might be this third brother.
"Brother Third, you should also pay more attention. If you have the chance, you should find a way to leave Beijing."
Everyone understands many things.
Everyone knows that the new emperor does not like King Wu and King Yue. Especially now, the senator led by Changsun Wuji in the current dynasty is the thorn in his eyes. Leaving Chang'an, he may be able to protect it.
Li Ke was tall and heroic, and he imagined it very much when Emperor Taizong was young. In his thirties, he had a little frost in his eyes. He smiled, "The third brother knows, it's not easy for the third brother to leave the capital. Since the founding of this dynasty, although there have been princes and princesses who have commanded the army at the beginning, since the Xuanwu Gate, which clan can really support troops? Even if he goes out to serve, it is impossible. This is completely different from the time of Yang Sui in the previous dynasty."
During the Sui Dynasty, although several princes did not divide the feudal state into the country, they were actually the chief generals of one side, each commanding dozens of military states and holding countless troops. Although they did not divide the feudal state into the feudal state, the princes' power was actually far stronger than that of the Han and Jin dynasties.
When he arrived in this dynasty, especially after experiencing Xuanwu Gate, Emperor Taizong became much more cautious about the royal family.
Although the royal family was granted a title of king, there were no more vassals, and even fiefs and households could not be directly managed, let alone military officials. Even if the imperial court granted official positions, it was basically empty. Whether it was granted a title of governor or a title of governor, they were all remote leaders. No royal family could go out of the capital to truly serve in the local area.
Even if Li Ke wants to leave Beijing, he will not have a chance.
He is like a bird trapped in a cage, and in fact he has no freedom at all.
The once extremely favored King Tai of Wei died last year.
The former crown prince Chengqian died several years ago.
The court said that Li Tai's death was due to depression and illness. However, Li Tai was deposed for more than ten years, and he died sooner or later. He died last year, but he was only thirty-five years old. Li Ke did not believe this result.
He would rather believe a rumor that Li Tai was actually killed by the emperor.
Maybe the next one is up to me.
This is the sorrow of being a prince, especially now that I am still the emperor's brother, an emperor who has a high prestige in the hearts of the people of the court and the people.
He smiled and shook his head.
"Are you very familiar with this Li Xiao?"
Gao Yang burst into laughter.
"I know what you want to ask, Saburo is indeed my lover."
Li Ke's expression was not very good when he heard this.
Gao Yang said again, "Once upon a time." After saying that, she added, "Now I'm about to let him return to me."
Li Ke shook his head, "I don't know how you met you, and I don't want to know anymore. But let's calm down in the future. I know you are also very depressed, but no matter how indulging yourself, you can't change anything. What's the use of being a slutty person like this? Sometimes I also want to learn from those brothers, Pegasus, and from then on, I live a life of luxury and life and dreaming of death, but I can't do it, I can't do it like them. Whether it's true of nature or just want to be self-deprecating, I can't do it."
"Brother, I understand you."
"Seventeenth Lady, the third brother understands you, we are not free. But we cannot indulge ourselves because of this." After Li Ke finished speaking, he looked at Chang'an City outside the palace and sighed, "I have time to bring Li Xiao to see me."
"Yes, but Li Sanlang is a little special. He is not keen on power and wealth. Although he is a small landlord, he is sometimes so free and easy that it is amazing. Even if you are the King of Wu, you can't let him bow down."
Li Ke laughed a few times after hearing this.
