Li Ke is also a well-informed person. When Li Chengqian heard the news of the Three Laws of Justice came out, Li Ke had already received the news.

As the saying goes, although he does not hold real power, he has the responsibility of supervision. The Crown Prince Li Chengqian supervised not the Sixth Ministry or the Ninth Bureau, but the Three Laws that Li Ke just posted a post.

However, Li Shimin did not completely ignore Li Ke's feelings. Li Shimin told Li Ke this way, but in order to take care of Li Ke, he still issued an order to reward Li Ke with a thousand pieces of brocade and a hundred taels of gold, which has commended Li Ke for protecting the people.

Li Shimin's meaning was no longer obvious. Li Ke might have done something wrong, but the prince of the Tang Dynasty was not something that those court officials could criticize at will. In his opinion, Li Shimin, his child did it right. Not only was he wrong, but he also had to give an order to commend him for his contributions.

The people from the Three Laws felt that Li Ke had stretched his hands too long and was quite inappropriate, so they wrote a letter to impeach Li Ke, and then Li Shimin gave them an explanation. He ordered the prince to sue the Three Laws in justification, and Li Ke made contributions to protecting the people and deserved to be commended.

Tian Khan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was also very domineering when protecting his calf.

But Li Ke in the Chu Palace here did not feel any thanks for Li Shimin's favoritism, but was full of anxiety.

Li Ke knew Li Shimin's nature very well. He ascended the throne by killing his brother and ascending the throne. Naturally, he did not want his princes to have the same things, so he would never want to see Li Ke having ambitions for the throne.

"This time they were doing a trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron. It was really tricky to directly use the hands of his father to show it to me." Li Ke sat in the front hall of the Chu Prince's Mansion, looking at the Shu brocade piled in the hall, his face looked quite ugly.

In Li Ke's eyes, these Shu brocades were not rewarded by the emperor. They were clearly a warning, warning Li Ke to be loyal to his duties and not have too many unreasonable thoughts.

Cen Wenben looked up at Li Ke and asked Li Ke: "Your Highness is smart, I believe Your Highness must know what Your Majesty wants."

Li Ke said: "Yes, although my father did not punish me, the meaning behind my father's actions is obvious."

Cen Wenben asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"

Li Ke naturally knew what Cen Wenben meant when he listened to Cen Wenben's words. Cen Wenben was worried that he was young and had a weak mind. He was frightened by Li Shimin's imperial edict and wanted to retreat.

So Li Ke said: "The father's meaning is just what the father means now. The father is young and strong, and the spring and autumn are in full swing. Who can tell the future exactly? Although the father's favorite is the emperor's brother, the throne cannot be decided by momentary preferences. The future is difficult, and the disciples have already made preparations to overcome all obstacles."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Cen Wenben finally showed a smile on his face.

In the court, what is the momentary victory or defeat? Cen Wenben was never worried about this short-term victory or defeat, otherwise he would not have been the main focus of Li Ke. He was worried that Li Ke's mentality would be setbacks after Li Shimin's attitude and lost his previous aura. However, now it seems that Li Ke's ambitions are still there and there is no slightest wavering. He was worried too much.

Cen Wenben said to Li Ke: "In my opinion, whether it is your highness who suffered a secret loss this time or the crown prince’s lawsuit, these are irrelevant. The most important thing is Your Majesty’s attitude towards Your Highness."

Li Ke said: "Sir, are you worried that your father will be cautious about me?"

Cen Wenben said: "Your Majesty's throne came from Xuanwu Gate, so Your Majesty never hopes that the princes will repeat the same mistakes. He was appointed as the crown prince as soon as he ascended the throne, in order to eliminate the prince's desire to compete for the throne. His Majesty has speculated about the recent incident. In the long run, it may be unfavorable to Your Highness."

Li Ke nodded and said, "Yes, my father is concerned about me. If this continues, my King of Chu's mansion will be bound to be left and right, and it will be difficult to move forward."

Cen Wenben said: "The most urgent task at the moment is to dispel His Majesty's concerns about His Highness."

Now that the princes are young, if Li Ke is the first to jump out, the resistance will be too great, but if the princes grow up and everyone's ambitions are gradually revealed, it will be Li Ke's chance to take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, Li Ke never hopes that Li Shimin will be cautious about him too early.

Li Ke asked, "Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

Cen Wenben said: "There is a way, but you will feel wronged."

Li Ke said without hesitation: "As long as I can dispel my father's concerns, it's okay if I suffer some flesh and blood."

Cen Wenben said: "There is no need for the pain of flesh and blood, but your highness is going to suffer."

Chang'an City, Sikong Changsun Mansion.

It was already summer and the climate was hot. When you were in Chang'an City, ordinary people didn't have to move too much. They just had to sit and sweat hotly, not to mention Changsun Wuji, who was already fat.

However, although the weather was hot at this time, Changsun Wuji was in a very comfortable mood.

"Famous killing people, Ximing's move is much better than Yan Xiangshi. I admire him, admire him." Changsun Wuji listened to the news brought by Chu Liang from his palace and said with satisfaction.

Chu Liang said: "It is both a reputation and a borrowed knife. The swords of the Three Dharma Offices are more flexible than Chu thought."

Changsun Wuji said: "The sword of the Three Laws is sharp, and the sword of Your Majesty is sharper. This matter is probably uneasy when Li Ke is in the mansion."

Chu Liang said: "It's a pity that Your Majesty is too fond of the King of Chu. Your Majesty is just alert to the King of Chu. He did not move the King of Chu at all and failed to achieve success in one fell swoop."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "This is enough. Your Majesty has a gap with the King of Chu. Over time, the gap has become bigger and bigger, and Li Ke naturally loses his favor. The prince loses his favor and no longer threatens the prince. Therefore, you must not be too hasty to deal with Li Ke."

Chu Liang bowed and said, "What Lord Sikong said is very true."

Changsun Wuji looked at Chu Liang and suddenly asked, "Lingzi has been in the position of Ju Lang for some time."

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Chu Liang didn't know what Changsun Wuji meant, and immediately said excitedly: "The son of the zodiac son has been a living man since the first year of Zhenguan, and now he has been four years."

Changsun Wuji said, "Four years, the time is not short. You can move it, what do Ximing thinks?"

Chu Liang said: "I am willing to listen to Lord Sikong's orders."

Changsun Wuji said: "Yu Shinan from Hongwenguan is old and has not had enough energy recently. Your Majesty is kind. In order to divide his position, he wants to add a servant in Hongwenguan to draft an imperial edict. I heard that the man's handwriting is very good. If he doesn't think that servant is a free job, he will do it."

When Chu Suiliang was young, his father Chu Liang was on duty at Hongwenguan, and he dealt with miscellaneous items in Hongwenguan, and everyone nicknamed him "the owner".

Chu Suiliang had a lot of contacts with great scholars at that time since he was a child. He was very knowledgeable and even more rare was his good calligraphy practiced. Even Yu Shinan, a master of regular script at that time, praised him. It was appropriate to have him serve as a servant.

Although the servant is not of high rank, he is with Li Shimin every day. He is a close confidant, so how could Chu Liang not be willing?

Chu Liang hurriedly said, "Mr. Sikong Bole's kindness, the lower-ranking official thanked him for his son."

Changsun Wuji was still rewarding Chu Liang's son in the mansion, but at this moment, Changsun Wuji's eldest son Changsun Chong suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Dad, news comes from the Chu Prince's Mansion." Changsun Chong said to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji asked, "What's the matter?"
