The person who knows a person the best in the world has never been the closest person around you, or even himself, but his biggest opponent.

If you ask Li Ke himself, Li Ke probably wouldn't say with a shameless face that he is a gentleman, let alone a wise king. Speaking of Li Ke, the one who knows the most profound knowledge of Li Ke's purpose and means is the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Ke is respectful to the wise and humble, bringing people generous, and serving the country and the people. This is Li Ke, but he is unrestrained, ambitious, and even quite sinister. This is also Li Ke. Li Chengqian said nothing wrong, but these words can only be complained privately by himself and could not be said.

Li Chengqian couldn't say these words, and it was uncomfortable to hold them in his heart. So he wanted to find a way to relieve them and went to Xieyulou.

The next day, the three of them were sitting in the private room on the second floor of Xieyu Building. The prince Li Chengqian, the Han King Li Yuanchang, and the Xiangyang County Duke Chai Lingwu were sitting in the private room.

At dusk and the sky is getting dark and it is not dark. The lights in Chang'an City are just on the bride and brothels. The private room where Li Chengqian is located is the best. You can see the center of the lobby on the first floor, and there is a spacious square platform there.

This prescription table is placed here all year round, and it has no other use. It is just a place to offer the women in the building to perform their daily work. It is to attract regular customers and give new recruits a chance to show their faces.

In order to facilitate the sight of singing and dancing in the lobby, the doors of the second floor of the private room are mostly open, and the same is true for Li Chengqian's Tianzi Jia. However, just opposite Li Chengqian's door, the door is hidden in a void and different from others. After wrapping this private room, the person who is different from others is King Li Ke of Chu.

"Your Highness, the prince has arrived. Now he is sitting in the room with a name number A." As soon as Li Ke entered the court from behind, Xiao Yuexian, the owner of the Yulou, also entered the house and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke asked, "But are you all ready?"

Xiao Yuexian said: "Don't worry, your highness, the downstairs have been arranged, and today I will definitely ask the prince to see the five secrets and eight ways."

Li Ke said: "The prince is not a rural minority. He has been in the palace for a long time and is a regular visitor to Xieyulou. He is used to seeing beauties, so he can't just ask him to care about it by finding someone easily."

Xiao Yuexian smiled and said, "If it were ordinary, it was true, but today your Highness is here, everything will be sure."

Li Ke asked, "Oh? Why is this? What does this have to do with me?"

Xiao Yuexian said: "Who doesn't know that your highness and the prince are the biggest rivals? As long as your highness wants, the prince will fight."

"Hahaha..."

When Li Ke heard this, he immediately understood what Xiao Yuexian meant. Li Ke smiled and said, "You hope that I will fight with the prince, take advantage of the prince's mentality that he is unwilling to lose from me to inspire the prince to get into the trap."

Xiao Yuexian said: "That's true."

Li Ke said: "The crown prince and the King of Chu in the dynasty could not fight for a priest in Xieyulou. If this matter spreads, the face of the royal family will be one of them. I am afraid that your Xieyulou will become famous in the future and your business will be even better than the past."

Xiao Yuexian smiled and said, "Xieyu Building is originally the business of Your Highness. The business ofXieyu Building is lively and you can make money every day. Isn't it a good thing for Your Highness?"

Li Ke said: "Xian'er said that, so I killed two birds with one stone."

Xiao Yuexian said: "That's natural. Your Highness's deal is sure to make a profit."

——————————————

In the local room, Li Ke and Xiao Yuexian also talked about Li Chengqian. At the same time, Li Chengqian, who was in the room of Emperor A, was still completely unaware that he was already in the pit.

"The prince has always been busy, why did he suddenly have free time today? I invite me to come here to meet?" In the elegant room, Chai Lingwu held a beautiful girl in his arms, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and asked Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was like Chai Lingwu, holding Meiji in his arms with one hand, and wandering around Meiji's knees with the other hand, replying: "What's the matter with me? I'm just sitting in the palace every day. What my father asked me to learn to decide is just some unpainful criminal prosecutions. Most of these are just obedient and do not directly determine the case, so I can busy where to go."

Although Li Chengqian's words did not mention his dissatisfaction with Li Shimin, there was no lack of complaints inside and outside. Li Chengqian was the prince and the future monarch, but Li Shimin was unwilling to delegate power to him. He only let him take charge of criminal prosecution in the court, assisting in the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, but did not enter the provincial and provincial platforms, or even in the power government offices such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue.

In terms of power, the Ministry of Justice and Marble govern the people, but do not directly govern officials. Compared with the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War is much worse. Li Shimin's original idea was to hope that Li Chengqian could use the criminal prosecution of matters, and to make decisions on matters for a long time, thinking that succession to the throne in the future lays the foundation for the king, but Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin did not trust his abilities enough, so he did so.

Chai Lingwu, who was standing by, didn't know whether Li Chengqian's implied meaning, but said to Li Chengqian: "The prince is only nineteen years old, so he is in charge of the criminal prosecution of the Tang Dynasty. How great is it? Who in the world can compare with him? I really admire him."

Chai Lingwu's words were originally a bit flattering, but Chai Lingwu didn't know that his words were hitting Li Chengqian's pain.

Li Chengqian said: "What's the use of in charge of criminal prosecution? This palace is about the same age as the King of Chu. The King of Chu has left the northern land to destroy the country and win great merits to return to the court. But I can only look at the pile of boring documents every day and watch others become famous."

If what Li Chengqian said just now was a bit obscure, then now, Li Chengqian's meaning will be revealed.

This is not a place to talk. Li Yuanchang had suffered such a loss and hurriedly said, "The prince is eager to be a country, this is a good thing, but this is not a place to talk about state affairs. You know, we are here to be happy."

When Chai Lingwu heard this, he also said, "What the King of Han said is that in this place of romance, it is better for us to talk about romance and moon."

As Chai Lingwu said, he asked the maid who was serving in the house, "What's new about you Xieyulou recently? If the fresh people are always those in the past, they will be bored."

The maid who served in the house heard this and replied with a smile: "Young master is joking. Are there any other things in our Xieyu Tower, and will we still lack beauty? A beautiful woman will appear on the stage to perform later. The man's famous work is the most popular one in our Xieyu Tower recently, but the boss bought it from Zhongyuan for a lot of money."

When Chai Lingwu heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "The brothels in Chang'an City are the most beauties in your Xieyulou. What kind of woman can sit as the leader of your Xieyulou?"

The maid said, "What else is there to say now? The young masters on both sides have always been short of money. Why not invite her to play a solo and drink it together."
