Chapter 675
When Li Shimin decided to hand over Li You's life and death to the imperial court, Li You had already been sentenced to death. Regardless of whether he was a prince or not, treason is a capital crime. If Li Chengqian hadn't been protected by Li Shimin and Li Ke, his soul would have returned I am a foreign land, how can I enjoy the happiness in Qianzhou like now.

It is not difficult for Li Shimin to make such a decision. It is not difficult for Li Ke to understand. When Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Shimin spared his life. If the same is true for Li You's rebellion this time, does it mean that the prince can still survive the rebellion? No more peace.

When it comes to holy favors, Li You and Li Chengqian are not the same, not to mention that Li You is planning a rebellion and causing chaos in Shandong. Compared with the impact of Li Chengqian's assassination, Li Shimin did not spare his life. This is what it should be.

Li Shimin ordered Li Ke to be right, but he just wanted to know Li Ke's meaning on this matter. Since Li Ke thought the same as him, Li Shimin became more and more sure of his own approach.

Li Shimin wanted to see Li Ke specifically for this purpose. As for the fight against the rebellion, Li Ke had nothing to do with it. A small rebellion by Li You was not worth acting as a crown prince, and it was not even necessary to mobilize the imperial army.

Li Shimin decreed that Li Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, be in command, and Liu Dewei, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as his deputy, sent the troops of Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu and other Kyushu prefectures to suppress the rebellion.

Li You's rebellion, with no soldiers, no generals, and no support from the people, must be a disaster. No one in the court will regard this as a serious problem. In the world, there was one thing that caught Li Ke's attention. This was Li You's call to arms in every state.

East Palace, Guangtian Palace, Study Room.

"Hahaha"

Li Ke was sitting in the study, holding in his hand a large piece of Li You's call for rebellion sent by him, with a smile on his face, and he even laughed out loud from time to time.

Sitting beside Li Ke, Wu Meiniang watched Li Ke looking at Li You's rebellion with relish, and asked with a smile: "The whole article is full of treasonous words, and most of them are still unsavory. How can Sanlang still see it?" So focused."

Li Ke held the proclamation in one hand, pointed to a sentence in the proclamation with the other, and smiled at Wu Meiniang: "'There are no ministers in the court, and there are villains in the court, so soldiers must be trained to punish them, and the evil on the side of the Qing emperor. Now there is a false prince, Ke, who is not a direct descendant. Feichang, who came from a side concubine, was able to confuse the father and emperor, made him the heir of the palace, and used his own power to spread his influence in the court and the public, and brought disaster to Zhongliang, who can be punished." Isn't this sentence very well written?"

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke's appearance and asked curiously: "This sentence is scolding you, but you praised him instead, don't you think you won't be angry?"

Li Ke shook his head and said: "Li You is just a dying person, I'm afraid he won't live for more than a month, why should I be angry with him?"

Li You is mediocre, not familiar with military affairs, and the generals under his command are only brave and ruthless, and cannot be reused. Li Ji, the counter-insurgency coach, is a famous general of the country. Shangshu doesn't have to do it.

Li Ke said, and then said to Wu Meiniang: "Look at what Li You said, it seems to be insulting me, but in fact it helped me a lot."

Based on Wu Meiniang's understanding of Li Ke, how could she not know what Li Ke was thinking? As soon as Li Ke's words came out, Wu Meiniang guessed what Li Ke meant.

Wu Meiniang said: "Sanlang is talking about pushing his mother and concubine to be the empress?"

Li Ke nodded and said with a smile: "Mother and concubine, everything is ready and I owe Dongfeng. Although Li You's letter made me feel comfortable, isn't it also sending Dongfeng?"

The sons of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian exiled, Li Tai's official, Li Zhi has become Li Ke's little tail, often following behind Li Ke, Li Ke has become the only suitable candidate to succeed the emperor, Li Ke's crown prince will never be Will be half shaken because of these rebellious words.

On the contrary, Li Ke's position as prince is solid, and the government and the public are convinced that even Li Shimin has begun to pave the way for Li Ke's succession as he grows older and has no more energy than before.

In the early years, Li Shimin took Cen Wenwen, Li Ke's mentor, as the order of Zhongshu. In the past two years, he transferred Ma Zhou as the servant of the Huangmen, and entered the province. General Wei; Xue Rengui was also transferred from the East Palace to serve as the inspector You Xiaowei General, in command of Li Ke's former imperial army, and Chang Sun Chong was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Rites to worship Guangluqing, a step further.
Li Shimin has already begun to make some preparations for Li Ke's succession, and has installed necessary cronies for Li Ke in the court and the army to ensure a safe and smooth transfer of power. back bit.Concubine Yang is Li Ke's biological mother, and she is even more concerned about Li Ke. If there is a chance, Li Ke will definitely push Concubine Yang to be the queen.

Li Ke wants to push Concubine Yang to be the Empress, but the empress is a major matter in the country. There is no good opportunity for Li Ke to act rashly. However, this time Li You rebelled, and the proclamation circulated is the best opportunity and statement.

Due to the undetermined posthumous position, the clan was uneasy, and there were a lot of rhetoric and criticisms about the title of Prince Li Ke, which led to military disasters. To solve this problem, the best way is to make Concubine Yang the queen. The position is impeccable, the clan can be peaceful, and the prince has calmed down.

Wu Meiniang asked: "Sanlang is going to raise this matter first with the eldest grandson's family?"

Li Ke replied: "Yes, Changsun Wuji is the elder brother of the old empress. If the eldest grandson's family initiates this matter, the chances must be higher. Changsun Wuji is a smart person. Whether the mother concubine is conferred has nothing to do with the reserve position. He I know what to do, not to mention that he promised me this matter early in the morning."

When Li Ke returned to Beijing from Liangzhou, Changsun Wuji had met Li Ke and proposed the condition that Li Ke keep the Changsun family, and the price was that the Changsun family would help Li Ke to push Concubine Yang to be the empress. Now Li Ke agreed. It is already being done, and the only thing left is for Changsun Wuji to fulfill his promise.

Wu Meiniang thought for a while, and said to Li Ke: "Actually, after the mother concubine was conferred, Sanlang thought about the court, but he ignored one point."

Li Ke asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"

Wu Meiniang replied: "The Changsun family can help San Lang, and Changsun Wuji is not the only one who pushed his mother and concubine to the throne. Could it be that there is another person that San Lang has forgotten? This person's influence on the father is not weaker than Changsun Wuji."

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Ke felt strange at first. Is there anyone in the Changsun family who is more convincing to Li Shimin than Changsun Wuji?Immediately afterwards, Li Ke thought for a while, and suddenly remembered a person.

Li Ke said to Wu Meiniang: "You mean Changle?"

Wu Meiniang said: "That's right, it's Chang Le. The Empress Dowager is not only a state matter, but also a family matter. Chang Le is the eldest daughter favored by my father. Her words are more important than anyone else's in front of my father."

After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Ke suddenly realized that he almost missed something.Li Ke put almost all his eyes on the court, and wanted to promote this matter through the court meeting.But Li Ke forgot that setting up a queen is a state matter as well as a family matter. Li Shimin is a person who attaches great importance to personal affairs, and in terms of personal affairs at home, Princess Changle's words can undoubtedly play a decisive role.

Although Wu Meiniang is not as good as Li Ke in the essay on military strategy, Wu Meiniang is more transparent than Li Ke when it comes to the matter of becoming a queen. Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, the women who have ascended to the next position, you must know that behind these two people are two top-notch tycoons from the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Xiao family of Lanling.

Li Ke took Wu Meiniang's hand, and said to Wu Meiniang: "If Meiniang hadn't reminded me earlier, I would almost have missed a major event."
