"Sir, the students have been holding a few doubts in their hearts these days, and they can't figure it out. They have long wanted to ask questions in person with their husbands, but they know that the official duties have been very busy these days and have little time, so they have never dared to disturb them." In the palace of the King of Wu, King Li Ke of Wu bowed to the gentleman Cen Wenben who came to pay a visit to him.

"Your Highness the King of Wu is polite. If you have anything to do, you can tell me directly. If I know, I will definitely speak out." Without a look of surprise, I raised my eyes and looked at Li Ke carefully. Cen Wenben bowed and replied, his face calm and quiet.

It is rare that His Highness the King of Wu could endure it until now to ask him. Cen Wenben nodded in his heart. It seems that His Highness the King of Wu's qi cultivation skills were not in vain a few days ago.

"First of all, it is the fifth brother Li You," Li Ke straightened his body and said to Cen Wenben directly: "The fifth brother wanted to rebel, but there were some signs before. In addition, Mr. Quan's accidental death a few days ago, he could not escape the crime of killing his teacher and being ruthless. He would die sooner or later. He would rebel in advance, and the students did not find it strange at all."

Looking at Cen Wenben, Li Ke continued: "What makes the students feel very strange is that the attitude of his father,"

After pausing, Li Ke continued to say bluntly: "After Lao Wu raised the anti-flag and pulled the army to rebel, how could the father tolerate so many days, giving Lao Wu a chance to breathe and develop? With the military strength of our Tang Dynasty, not to mention Li Jing and General Maogong, I would let me put on the battle. As long as my father can give me 30,000 elite troops, I will be able to put Lao Wu down within two days."

"But now, after a few ten days, my father refused to take action, which made people in Chang'an City panic. What is the purpose of this? Could it be that my father and he has returned the father-son relationship with the fifth brother?"

"Your Highness the King of Wu is careful," After hearing Li Ke's words, Cen Wen's expression moved slightly. He looked around cautiously, and then he spoke to Li Ke Yan: "Your Highness can only mention these words in front of me. At other times, you must keep it in your heart and must not spread it everywhere. If the emperor knows, although he will not blame him, he will definitely be a little displeased with Your Highness in his heart."

"The teacher taught me the lesson, and the students are not the kind of people who don't know the importance of the matter. Knowing that the father is doing this must have a profound meaning. Although the students are confused, they dare not make nonsense comments. This is the first time that the student has expressed his doubts in his heart. Please help me solve the doubts for the students!" Li Ke bowed and invited me again. From Cen Wenben's attitude and words just now, Li Ke already knew that his gentleman must have understood the mystery hidden in this matter.

"This sentence is out of my mouth and into Your Highness's ears. Do not pass it on to others." After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Cen Wenben gave a few instructions before he could speak.

"Students know that there are only two kings and gentlemen here, so it's okay for sir to speak out!" Li Ke reached out to invite him, not knowing what his gentleman would have.

"The affairs of the King of Qi are indeed as His Highness said just now," Cen Wenben bowed and returned the salute and said to Li Keyan: "It is not as serious as it seems. As long as the emperor is determined, within half a day, the garrisons near Qi can completely destroy the rebels."

"But……"

"But, the emperor did not do this, why? I really can't bear it, thinking about the relationship between the king, minister, father and son?" Knowing what Li Ke wanted to ask, Cen Wenben interrupted his words in advance, then looked at Li Ke, and said to him in a question and answer, "This is why your highness doesn't understand the emperor's character, so he thinks like this."

"In addition to being a kind father, the emperor is also the monarch of a country. Although the emperor looks very kind on weekdays, no one will be more cold-blooded and ruthless than an emperor when it comes to things." After looking at Li Ke's face quietly, Cen Wenben continued to say: "The emperor has the love between father and son, but he must not touch the bottom line of his emperor."

"If His Highness of the King of Qi does not raise the flag to rebel, no matter how serious the crime he committed. Although the emperor has never been happy with his family affection, he will still be unbearable. In that case, the King of Qi may still have a glimmer of hope. However, His Highness of Qi chose to rebel, which seemed like a way to survive, but he did not know that from the moment he decided to raise an army to rebel, he had cut off his father-son relationship with the emperor and ruined his last hope of survival."

"If Your Highness can't figure it out about the issue of the imperial power and throne, you might as well think about the incident of Prince Yin twelve years ago. Thinking about the fate of Prince Yin and others afterwards, Your Highness will probably have some understanding."

So, it is not to criticize the current saints. In fact, even Cen Wenben himself did not feel that Li Shimin was doing anything wrong. Since ancient times, which king has not been made of countless flesh and blood? The reason why Cen Wenben mentioned this matter to Li Ke was just to make Li Ke understand the meaning of the sentence "The most ruthless imperial family" was just to make Li Ke understand the meaning of the sentence "The most ruthless imperial family."

If you have no idea of ​​anything and do not have the thoughts and attitudes that a superior person should have, Li Ke will suffer a great loss sooner or later in the future, and he will even have his life with you.

"Ke knows all these, but if he hadn't thought about these, why would his father be reluctant to send troops to the ground?" The ruthless and ruthless person of the imperial family, as a prince, Li Ke had a deeper feeling than Cen Wenben. It is precisely because of this that he would be even more confused about Li Shimin's abnormal attitude this time.

"Recently, your highness has heard of some strange things and rumors that happened in Chang'an City?" Asked the question irrelevantly, Cen Wenben took a sip of tea and asked Li Ke a question.

"Sir, Duke Yi, Duke Song, and Grand Secretary Su Bingren and the elders of the Grand Secretary Su Bingren fell ill one after another?" Hearing Cen Wenben mention these, Li Ke immediately thought of the most evil things that had been spread in the past few days: "I have heard of these rumors, but they are just some folk rumors, and they are not trustworthy."

"Besides, there were news in the palace at the time of Chen, saying that Liu Yi of Sanyuan had been invited back from another place by his father, with the genius doctor Liu and he helped to treat the three adults' diseases. These rumors are self-defeating?" Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Yi, Li Ke still admired Mr. Liu's reputation and medical skills. When he heard that Liu Yi had arrived, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

"Rumors are not scary." Cen Wenben said in a deep voice: "What's scary is the people who spread the rumors."

"Who is secretly doing things? Is it related to them that the three important officials of the country seriously ill at the same time? What is their intention? Are they left in Chang'an City, the accomplices of the King of Qi? Will they take the next move later?"

Questions were asked one after another, and Cen Wenben looked at Li Ke and said, "Also, if the emperor hadn't just learned about Liu Yiu's whereabouts, how should the three adults deal with the illness? Should the emperor watch the three ministers die? If so, let's not talk about the losses of the court for the time being, just those rumors that are not present may form a huge river and waves, which makes people unable to defend against."

After hearing this, Li Ke was sweating coldly. While he was scared, he also knew some of the thoughts in his father's mind at this time.

"Sir, the students have received the teachings." Li Ke praised Cen Wenben with great sincerity. He was worthy of being the Zhongshu Ling, who was highly appreciated by his father. His eyesight and insight are indeed beyond ordinary people.

The autumn rain is hazy, and the dampness is filled with a cool feeling. Most passers-by on the street have already put on autumn clothes to resist the coldness of the day. Early this winter, and the cold winter will surely come again at the end of the year.

In the Qin Mansion of Duke Yiguo, in the yard where his family lived in the backyard, a group of people were holding small oil-paper umbrellas, all of whom were nervously looking at a rare giant wooden barrel.

"Brother Yi, it's been an hour now. I wonder if my adoptive father has woken up?" Beside Liu Yi, Feng Xiaoyi, beside Liu Yi, said to Liu Yi with a worried look on his face: "Also, after so long, Uncle Yuchi is afraid that he will not be able to support him anymore. Otherwise, let me go in and give it a try, what?"

"If someone could replace him, at the beginning, I wouldn't have to bother General Yuchi at first." Liu Yi shook his head calmly and said, "It's just fifty kilograms of garlic. According to General Yuchi's skills, it's not a difficult task. Brother Feng is a little restless. If the younger brother expected it, General Yuchi would be able to get out of the bucket in a moment. As for Duke Yi, he would have to stay in it for more hours."

Stop and rest, and work hard for one hour, is the limit for Yuchi Jingde. The fifty kilograms and thousands of garlic should have consumed a lot of money. The fog in the barrel has already been formed, and Yuchi Jingde is almost about to come out.

"Cough cough cough!" As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, under the eager attention of dozens of eyes, with the sound of a violent cough, the only small wooden door facing outwards of the lower corner of the wooden barrel finally moved.

"Cough cough! I'm so suffocating. If I come out later, I will be suffocated to death." With a staggering step, Yuchi Jingde swayed out of the wooden door in one trembling step. His face was red, sweat stains everywhere, and his clothes and hair were all wet. When he spoke, his arms were trembling constantly. It can be seen that he was really tired of the old man in the wooden barrel just now.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Yuchi." Liu Yi took the lead in bowing to the old man.

"It's a loss that it's only fifty kilograms. If it's really five hundred kilograms, I won't think of coming out again today." Yuchi Jingde waved his hand repeatedly, looked at the herbal tea handed over by the servant, stepped forward and snatched the teapot, raised his head and poured it hard.

"Uncle Yuchi, my adopted father, what's going on now?" Feng Xiaoyi came forward and rubbed his shoulders and back to Yuchi Jingde. He asked about the situation of Duke Yi with concern.
