Chapter 175 My name is Qisha

"I am resigned from the Prime Minister, Xiao Xiang has no clear relationship with us. We will struggle in the court in the future!" Li Ke sighed, "Bin Wang, you will serve in the Censorate in the future. What do you think about this?"

"Your Highness, according to the analysis of the empress, Changsun Wuji will not pose any targeted threat to us in a short period of time." Ma Zhou said affirmatively.

"Oh." Li Ke was surprised and puzzled, "Tell me what you think?"

"Your Highness, although Changsun Wuji entered the center of the Shangshu Province, he was in charge of the three ministries of military, punishment and engineering. However, he could not decide the matters in the court alone, including Xiao Xiang, Fang Zhongshu, Huangmen Shishou, Secretary Wei Zheng and others. Among them, Wang Gui is a member of King Yue, how could he sit idly by and let Changsun Wuji deliberately suppress our forces? If we fall, then Changsun Wuji's second target would be King Yue. King Yue's goal is very clear now, which is to hope that we will fight Changsun Wuji to lose both sides so that he can benefit from it. Therefore, Changsun Wuji will not have much threat to us in the short term. If one day he can form a new force dominated by him in the court, it is enough to compete with King Yue, and that is the time for him to take action."

Li Ke felt that Ma Zhou's analysis was very correct. At least in the early Zhenguan period, Changsun Wuji's performance in history was still average. Because at that time, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who were not inferior to him, were restraining him. It was not until later that Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng died of illness one after another. Changsun Wuji began to become a powerful minister with great power. How powerful was Changsun Wuji in the late Zhenguan period? It can be seen from a conversation between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji. The "Biography of Emperor Taizong's Son" records that the emperor initially regarded the King of Jin as the crown prince, and wanted to establish Ke, but Changsun Wuji was fighting. The emperor said, "Why is the prince of his nephew? And his son is like me. If he protects his uncle, it is unknown." Wuji said, "The king of Jin is kind and kind, and he is good at guarding the literature, and if he is undecided, he will be defeated, let alone the throne?" The emperor stopped.

So, after listening to Ma Zhou's analysis, Li Ke felt much more at ease, and asked, "What kind of relationship does King Bin think King Li Tai and I have now exist?"

Ma Zhou did not continue to answer Li Ke's words, but looked at Xu Jingzong, meaning that he would give the right to speak. Xu Jingzong understood what Ma Zhou meant and said with a smile, "Your Highness, King Yue Li Ke wants us to fight with Taizong. When we fight both sides are in a loss, he can benefit. Therefore, our relationship with King Yue is very peaceful on the surface, without any fighting, but they are all restraining each other and do not want one side to develop too strong. I believe that now, the prince and King Yue are in the situation of the three countries. The emperor is looking for a balance of power in our three parties, and we are playing games with the emperor's hands, and we are looking at who will win in the end."

Li Ke agreed with Xu Jingzong's words, but Xu Jingzong did not know that Li Zhi was born in June of the second year of Zhenguan. Li Zhi was his biggest threat after Li Chengqian fell. Therefore, Li Ke believed that now is Li Tai, King of Yue, and he himself had Changsun Wuji in the game. Li Chengqian would be abandoned by Changsun Wuji sooner or later, so he did not need to regard him as his key target for future attacks.

"I agree with the analysis of both of you, but Changsun Wuji is not an ordinary person. Everything in the court may happen, and you should pay attention in the future." Li Ke said, and then he glanced at Liu Rengui, who had not spoken for a long time, and said, "Regularly, the appointment of your Qianniu Guard will not be issued in a few days. You will rest more in the mansion in the past few days. But there is one thing you should remember, that is, during this period when I am not in Chang'an, you should not participate in any matters against me. Your current goal is good.

Fortunately, Qianniuwei is enough to serve in the border area and strive to serve at the border as soon as possible." Li Ke's purpose for Liu Rengui was to hope that he would not participate in any struggles about himself, and to leave a good image for Li Shimin and let him work at the border as soon as possible. Military generals cannot be allowed to be on the border. Without a war, you will not be respected by others even if you are promoted. In a few days, the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and he has absolute confidence in this battle and can be able to make a contribution. Therefore, he does not want Liu Rengui to miss this battle and miss the good opportunity for promotion.

"Don't worry, your highness, I will understand your highness's meaning. I will never let your Highness down during the Qianniuwei term." Liu Rengui said seriously. He didn't know the meaning of leaving the border, and did he understand Li Ke's meaning.

"Yeah." Li Ke looked at Ma Zhou and continued, "Bin Wang, the Censor of the Censorate is small and powerful. When encountering things, you need to think carefully before acting. You must not be reckless and impulsive to avoid causing trouble." Li Ke said this to target Changsun Wuji. After all, Ma Zhou is Li Ke's confidant. Although Changsun Wuji will not make any big moves to him, he can still do it against people like Ma Zhou who are confidant.

"Don't worry, your highness, I understand." Ma Zhou also knew that Li Ke was worried, but he was absolutely confident that he could deal with Changsun Wuji's attack on him, so he said firmly, "I will definitely not let Changsun Wuji's conspiracy succeed."

"Yeah." Li Ke nodded slightly and smiled, "I am very relieved about King Bin and King Zhengze!" Then, he said to Xu Jingzong beside him, "Yan tribe, this time I went to Bingzhou, my father asked me to lead the remaining three thousand iron cavalry after the battle between Dingfang and the Turks and the 5,000 heavy cavalry under him. The army's itinerary and the money and grain on the road must be allocated. You can deal with this matter in the next few days."

"I understand!" Xu Jingzong bowed and said. Although the court did not give him specific positions, Li Ke was the Grand Governor of Bingzhou, and his position in the Governor's Office would definitely not be very low.

"If you have nothing else, go back," said Li Ke. "I should go and see Qian Ning. I think I should watch him in the past few days, and I think he should figure it out."

"That me and I will take my leave!" Ma Zhou said first. They knew that Li Ke's purpose in meeting Qian Ning must be for the Seven Kills in Black.

After Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui and Xu Jingzong left, Li Ke came to the singular courtyard where Qian Ning lived in the backyard of the royal palace with Yang En. Because of Li Ke's instructions, the black clothes that monitored Qian Ning in the singular courtyard had been evacuated. Therefore, in the dark night, the singular courtyard seemed lonely and lonely, just like the loneliness deep in Qian Ning's heart. There was also light in the house, and it was obviously Qian Ning who had not yet rested. The Eagle Guard stepped forward and knocked on the door. After Qian Ning opened the door, he found that it was Li Ke and hurriedly gave Li Ke a gift. Li Ke stopped Qian Ning and said, "Qian Ning, don't be too polite, let's talk in the house."

"No." Qian Ning's attitude changed more and more as he stayed in the Han Palace. Li Ke could feel that Qian Ning himself knew it, but both of them were tacit.

"Qian Ning, I will go to Bingzhou in a few days. I wonder what your plans are?" Li Ke said first after sitting down.

Qian Ning had known that Li Ke was going to Bingzhou for a long time, but Li Ke said it in person and suddenly felt a little desolate. During this period of time he lived in the Han Palace, he spent a long time with the people in the palace to find that everyone was willing to follow Li Ke not because of some kind of interests, but because Li Ke did things to reassure them. Li Ke’s trust in them is worth their work for him. More importantly, Li Ke treats everyone like his relatives. This is Qian Ning’s lack of friends.

The people who were caring for friends and family were the most moved. So, he paused for a moment and said, "Qian Ning was a lonely person. After His Highness left, Qian Ning should return to the place he should go." He seemed very desolate when he said this. When he was with the people of the Han Palace, he really hoped that he would be one of them, and that everyone could drink and eat meat happily, laugh and sing happily. However, now he found that he was not one of them, and he was still just a lonely wanderer.

"Qian Ning, I am not talking to you tonight to make you leave," Li Ke said word by word, "but I want you to stay."

"Your Highness." Qian Ning whispered, but before he finished speaking, Li Ke stopped him. "You don't have to say anything, I will decide whether to stay or not." Li Ke said, "Your identity is very special, your goal is also clear. What I want to stay is the same. This is the same thing that I worry about the most. Don't understand that I am afraid that your identity will be known to the court and blamed me, but I am afraid that the desire for hatred in your heart will not be eliminated. You are still thinking about avenging Li Jiancheng. Through the past two years of understanding

You should also know the current living conditions of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and you should also know whether your father is qualified to be this emperor. What I want to tell you today is that I want you to stay by my side and walk through the Turkic Republic with me, eliminate Jie Li, who caused trouble to the people in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, and then walk on Tuyuhun to expedition to the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty, and establish unparalleled merits for the Tang Dynasty. However, I also want you to give up the hatred in your heart and make you a real Tang Dynasty soldier instead of an Avenger."

Li Ke paused for a moment when he saw Qian Ning wanting to speak, so he stopped him from continuing, "I mean that you want you to serve as the commander of the Black-clothed Guard Qi Sha to eradicate the power of the old subordinates built by Prince Yin in Changsun Wuji." Li Ke said this, and glanced at Qian Ning, and saw that his expression had not changed, he continued, "After the establishment of the remnants of the party, the task of Qi Sha to assassinate capable ministers and officials from various countries. Therefore, after hearing the king's meaning of Qi Sha's existence, you should know what it mainly does. I tell you that these are hopes to give you more choices, and I don't want you to regret your choice."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he stopped talking. He turned his eyes out the window and waited for Qian Ning's reply. However, what disappointed Li Ke was that about half an hour passed Qian Ning was still silent. Li Ke sighed slightly, and he already knew Qian Ning's thoughts. "Qian Ning, if you want to leave, tell me if you want to leave, so I can prepare some clothes and money and food for you." After that, he walked outside the house without looking back.
