"This matter is just a draft discussion in the Political Affairs Hall, and it has not yet been concluded. Your Highness must not speak early, which will ruin people's hearts."

If Li Ke was drunk and his head was not very straightforward and he had occasional nonsense, Li Changsha might not be very worried, but Wang Xuance was not good at drinking. From the beginning to the end of the banquet, Wang Xuance had not drunk a few drinks, and his expression was very clear. Li Ke and Wang Xuance's words were heard, and Li Changsha could only feel a cold wind blowing from his back, trembling, and he immediately woke up.

As a prince, Li Ke was in a high position and power when he was in Chang'an. Li Ke's teacher Cen Wenben was even appointed as the Prime Minister of the Central Secretariat. He could participate in the government affairs. In terms of his eyes, Li Ke naturally came to more places than their relatives and nobles who had lived in Jinyang for a long time. It is reasonable to know that the affairs of the Zhengshi Hall were.

Although Li Changsha listened to Li Ke's words, although he didn't understand his intention, it seemed to be against them. He was worried, so he asked Li Ke: "I don't know what Your Highness is saying? At that time, the Emperor and Your Majesty specially approved our Bohai County Prince's Mansion to be set in Taiyuan. Is there any change now?"

Li Changsha said something, and before Li Ke could return to him, Wang Xuance, who was beside him, interjected and said to Li Changsha: "Your Highness is happy today. He is drunk. Some things have not been determined and he said them through alcohol before he can even tell them seriously. The county magistrate doesn't have to take them seriously."

Li Changsha saw how much wine Li Ke drank. After drinking, Li Ke's mouth relaxed, as if he had said something that was not convenient to say but shouldn't have been said, but Wang Xuance's head was still very clear and repeatedly stopped Li Ke. But the more Wang Xuance did this, the more Li Changsha felt that what Li Ke said was unusual.

Li Changsha asked Wang Xuance: "I don't know what the Grand Governor said, it seems to have a close relationship with me, and I hope the gentleman will tell you."

Wang Xuance said: "What Your Highness said after drinking is just a catch of wind and shadows. I'm afraid it may not be true. If it is spread, it's a bad idea."

The more Wang Xuance did, the more anxious Li Changsha was. Li Changsha hurriedly said: "I hope the Grand Governor will tell the gentleman that Changsha must keep his mouth shut and will never let others know."

Li Changsha asked again and again, Wang Xuance was also in trouble. Wang Xuance asked Li Ke: "Your Highness, this matter has not yet been concluded. The county duke insisted on asking again. I don't know what to do. Please ask Your Highness to make an idea by yourself."

Li Ke waved his hand and said generously: "It's okay, my cousin is not an outsider, so what's the point of saying?"

As he said that, Li Ke closed his hands and signaled Li Changsha to come over.

Seeing this, Li Changsha quickly pressed his ear over, and only heard Li Ke smelling alcohol and said to Li Changsha: "Cousin should know that the princes of the Tang Dynasty were demoted to the title in the first year of Zhenguan."

"That's natural." Li Changsha replied.

During the Wude period, Li Tang won the world in the early days and was granted great titles to the sons of the royal family. After Emperor Jing Li Hu, Li Yuan's brothers and nephews and dozens of children of the royal family. Regardless of their merits, most of them were granted the title of Prince.

In the first year of Zhenguan, because Li Youliang, the prince of Changle, planned to rebel and colluded with the Turks, it caused a stir in the court and the court and the court pushed the court to discuss the surrender without any great contribution. The royal family prince, who was not a blood relative of the emperor, was the county duke and the county duke.

Among the royal princes, except for Huainan King Li Shentong, Hejian King Li Xiaogong, Rencheng King Li Daozong and other several county princes with outstanding meritorious achievements, only Bohai King Li Fengci, and Longxi King Li Boyi, who received the title of Prince. All the rest were demoted.

Li Fengci had a poor reputation among the children of the royal family. When Li Shimin issued a special order to protect Li Fengci's title, it also caused a lot of criticism in the court. Now Li Ke mentioned this matter again in front of Li Changsha, and Li Changsha suddenly felt that it was not good.

Sure enough, Li Ke continued: "There is a lot of noise in the morning, so this matter may be turbulent again."

Li Changsha asked in surprise: "How could this be?"

Li Ke replied: "Not everyone in my family of Li Tang is as respectful and obedient as my uncle and cousin, who acts indiscriminately, and violates laws and regulations. At the beginning of the year, Duke of Xun Guo Li Xiaoxie was too corrupt when he was appointed as the governor of Weizhou. He was investigated by the Censorate and reported to his father. The father was furious and issued a thorough investigation. In addition, foreign wars in the Tang Dynasty are still frequent and natural disasters are encountered. The finances in the court are in a tight position, and there is a possibility that the royal family will be demoted. Moreover, this matter has been brought to the Political Affairs Hall, but I don't know what the father meant."

Before the Li family became a country, they were originally a tycoon of Longyou, which started out due to military service. Li Ke and Li Fengci's Emperor Gaozu Li Hu were among the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. The Li family has been prosperous for a hundred years, with a prosperous descendants and a large number of children of the royal family. Every year, the imperial treasury consumed much money and food for supporting the royal family. Now that the national treasury is in short supply, it is not impossible for the prime minister in the court to take the attention of the royal family.

However, even if the children of the royal family want to be demoted, they will never surrender to Li Ke. Princes like Li Tai are also surrendered to the successor kings, princes, princes, etc., while Li Fengci and Li Changsha are among them.

Others Li Changsha didn't know, but Li Fengci had always had a bad reputation in the court. If this matter was really done, Li Fengci would definitely not be able to escape.

Li Changsha asked worriedly: "The Grand Governor thought how much could this matter be accomplished?"

Li Ke thought for a while and replied, "I can't be sure about this matter. I just mentioned it casually. My uncle had a close relationship with my father. My father might not be able to touch my uncle's prince, and my cousin should not worry."

The more Li Ke said this, Li Changsha became more and more uneasy. If Li Ke really felt that Li Fengci's prince's title was stable, he would not have said anything like that.

Li Changsha said: "Grandmaster, my father and I have no official position, and I am often not in the capital. People are so slight, I am afraid that Your Majesty may not be able to think about us. I hope the Governor will give mercy and help."

Li Ke then drunk and became generous. When Li Changsha said something, Li Ke also responded to Li Changsha, and said to Li Changsha: "It is rare that you and my brothers are so similar in temperament. What's the difficulty? In a few days, I will write a letter in hand and send it to Chang'an to plead for my uncle and cousin."

"If this is the case, the Grand Governor will be the one who will be the chief governor." Li Changsha responded and bowed his hand to thank him.

Li Ke is Li Shimin's beloved son and is now in Taiyuan. If Li Ke is willing to plead with love, Li Shimin will naturally consider it more.

Li Ke threw this out. Li Changsha was thinking about the matter and no longer had the interest to drink again. After chatting with Li Ke for a few more words, he got up and said goodbye and left.

Li Changsha got up and left, and after a while, he left the mansion and headed straight for the Bohai County Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, Li Changsha has left." Seeing Li Changsha leave the mansion, Wang Xuance returned to the side hall and said to Li Ke.

Originally sitting in the side hall, Li Ke, who was intoxicated, felt immediately energetic when he heard Wang Xuance's words, his face disappeared and his eyes regained their spirits.

But I think so, Li Ke is good at drinking, and he can't pour a thousand cups. How could Li Ke get drunk just now? Li Ke's appearance was just for Li Changsha to see.

Wang Xuance stood beside Li Ke and said to Li Ke: "I just heard what Your Highness meant at the banquet, and it seemed that he had no intention of punishing Li Fengci severely."

Li Ke nodded and replied, "I just beat you up a little, and I have no intention of tearing him apart."

Wang Xuance said: "This Bohai Prince is extremely famous in Taiyuan. He is not only extravagant and has a great desire, but also often invades people's land and buys and sells forcibly. The evidence of Li Fengci's crimes is conclusive. It is not difficult for His Highness to touch him."

Li Ke and Li Fengci, one is his beloved son and the other is his cousin who has not been in contact for a long time. Li Shimin is concerned about who is close to him. What's more, what Li Fengci committed is a matter that damages the reputation of the royal family and Li Shimin is taboo. As long as Li Ke is willing, a handwritten letter to Beijing and deprives Li Fengci of his title is not impossible. But what Li Ke meant just now, it was obvious that he did not want to take heavy measures against Li Fengci, and Wang Xuance was quite puzzled.

Li Ke also sighed leisurely when he heard this. Li Ke knew that although Li Fengci and others would not have any major disasters in the country, they would only hurt the people and harm the government and be unfavorable to the court. Li Ke also wanted to touch him, and also wanted to eliminate harm to the people, but sometimes, he also had his helplessness.
