Smugly fighting for the crown prince, Li Ke, who had exhausted his calculations, ended up making a wedding dress for others. Even though he was unwilling but powerless, complaining that Tianyouren could not be seen in Li Ke, he only hated that he was not strong enough, and he could not turn things around with his own power.
The struggling Li Ke stared at Li Kuan, who was calm and relaxed. After a long time, he finally let go of his obsession. Li Ke, who had no desire for power and profit, looked at Li Kuan again and couldn't help but admire him. Both princes and two born in the same year have completely different destinies.
As a noble blood flowing through his body, Li Ke has attracted much attention after he was born. Compared with the unwelcome Li Kuan, it can be said that the two are incomparable. When they became adults, Li Kuan's achievements made him look up to him, but he also made some achievements himself, and he looked like fireflies and bright moons in front of Li Kuan.
"His Royal Highness, would you like to have a few drinks with me?"
With a frank look, Li Ke sincerely invited Li Kuan to drink water and wine with him, and Li Kuan nodded and agreed. After a while, the tea set in front of him was replaced with a wine set and the tea was replaced with a drink. Li Ke made a toast to Li Kuan sincerely for the first time, and Li Kuan drank it politely.
"Cough cough!" Seeing Li Kuan drank it, Li Ke had to bite the bullet and drink, but Li Ke, who doesn't drink often, was a little uncomfortable because of the stimulation of the drink. With a flushed face, he slowed down for a while and respected one after another. For two cups, Li Kuan was always willing to come.
After the three cups, Li Ke smiled indifferently: "Although I am not familiar with you, it is your temperament to have revenge. Presumably your original intention should be to let me accept sanctions from the court!"
Li Kuan held the wine, squinted his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"
Li Ke nodded and replied, "Want to know why you changed your mind?"
"You are half right!" Li Kuan drank the wine in the cup, poured himself a glass, and said: "It is not for you to accept sanctions from the court, but to accept my sanctions. I will take one of everything you have. Take it away and seek justice for the dead brothers in the cruelest way!"
Li Ke's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and his bitter heart could only drink the contents of the glass again, and stared at Li Kuan intently while holding the wine glass, and said, "Then why change your mind?"
"Although you have made mistakes, your wife and children will not be miserable. They are all descendants of the Li family anyway!"
Li Kuan explained that Li Ke was stunned, and he realized that it was the eldest daughter Ruolan who saved everyone in the Wu Palace. Li Kuan indeed changed his original intentions when he saw the innocent Ruolan, otherwise he would be thunderous. The method cuts off Li Ke's remaining hungry forces and completely drives him out of the capital.
"I know you have the heart to fight for position!" Li Ke did not say any words of thanks, but changed the subject and continued: "In my opinion, your ending is almost the same as mine. Although there are important ministers in the DPRK standing by you By the way, but you have never been a direct son, and your body is similar to my bloodline, they will not approve of you as a prince and succeeding to the throne of Tang Dynasty."
"My life is up to me!" Li Kuan smiled indifferently, staring straight at Li Ke with a firm gaze, and said: "No matter who wants to control my destiny, it is impossible for me to control my future. No one can be my master. What if the people in North Korea and China oppose it? What fear do I have!"
Li Ke was shocked by Li Kuan's words. He didn't understand where Li Kuan had the courage to say such words
Now Li Kuan has a firm foothold in the DPRK, but he is not the prince of the current dynasty, nor is he a prince. This is an unchangeable fact. No matter how hard Li Kuan works, it is impossible to stop other people’s opposition, especially today. The emperor's mind is hard to guess, he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart, if one day he is unhappy and depriving Li Kuan of everything is just an edict, and he has no power to resist.
But Li Ke heard a strong confidence from Li Kuan’s words, and even the current emperor couldn’t decide everything about him. This made Li Ke have doubts and he knew that even if he asked Li Kuan, he wouldn’t be able to tell him clearly. In the end, Li Ke calmed his mind, held up the wine glass and offered Li Kuan a glass of wine again, and said, "Then I will wait and see!"
"You will see it someday!" Li Kuan's confident smile made Li Ke startled, and said in secret, "I don't know when I can see it!"
Li Kuan, who is full of confidence in Li Ke's eyes, is completely arrogant. Do you think he was so arrogant at the beginning? Facts have proved that his arrogance is because of his blood, not because of his power in the DPRK, he was caught off guard under the illusion of appearance, and he sadly withdrew from the prince dispute.
"If you are conscientious in the Yanran Protectorate, and make great deeds to the court within five years, I will let you come back!"
Li Kuan still couldn't deal with Li Ke cruelly. No matter how they were brothers, they were still brothers if they didn’t have deep feelings. Moreover, Li Ke did have real skills. If he really got rid of him, it would be a disadvantage. Stance.
"Since I'm gone, I won't come back again!"
Li Ke seemed to want to open, no longer nostalgic for this prosperous capital. The implication was that he could go anywhere, but the capital was reluctant to come. At this moment, he thought of his daughter, and his eyes revealed Deep love.
"After this farewell, maybe there will be no one to see each other again!" Suddenly Li Ke was a little bit lost. He and Li Kuan had the upper hand in a clash with his parents. Since Li Kuan returned to Beijing, he was not an opponent at all. , His face solemnly reminded: "I will send you a word before parting: beware of the old nine!"
Li Kuan frowned suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
"Everyone lives under a mask, and different people wear different masks. One day the disguised mask will be taken off to reveal your true face, just like you back then." Li Ke did not explain, but said meaningfully. After a paragraph, "I have been tired all these years, so it's time to leave and rest!"
Li Kuan thought: "Isn't Li Zhi as weak as he seems to be? Is this his way of protecting himself? Or is he thinking of fighting for position from the beginning? He put on a mask for us to act on purpose? Li Ke, in the end? What do you know, why doesn't he say it directly?"
Li Kuan was puzzled. He raised his head and looked at Li Ke, who was looking into the distance. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing that he had indeed let go. Then, the two of them didn’t talk much and were invited by Li Ke to leave the palace, because Li Ke agreed to leave Beijing to go to Yanran’s Protector House. Li Kuan was not interested in knowing what he had talked about. In short, all he was thinking about was the sentence left by Li Ke: "Beware of the old nine!"
"Don't underestimate him?"
Li Kuan muttered to himself that he didn't know much about Li Zhi, but Li Kuan still took it to heart when Li Ke reminded him. Besides, he still has accounts to settle with Li Zhi, but the time is not ripe right now, and he has to collect the accounts when the time is ripe. (End of this chapter)
