Chapter 405 Rumors
.The next day, Li Ke asked Wang Zhong to prepare horses, and he wanted to go out to hunt.
It’s not that Li Ke is really willing to go out to hunt in the middle of winter. He is not sick and will not be so cruel. It’s just that he listened to what Li Shimin said to him in the imperial study room, so that he would not run around and cultivate in the mansion well. Li Ke is very clear that with Li Shimin’s identity, he would not say too clearly, so Li Ke needs to guess. The result of Li Ke’s guess is that Li Shimin’s meaning is when discussing the rewards of the Northern Expedition Army. He does not want to get involved in this right and wrong by himself.
Therefore, after another analysis, Li Ke believed that Li Shimin had another meaning, which was to let him use cultivation as an excuse to not meet ministers in the court. After all, Li Ke is not the same now, and many opportunistic ministers would curry favor with him and want to use his power to give himself the opportunity to get promotion.
Therefore, with Li Shimin's warning, Li Ke did not dare to disobey Li Shimin's wishes, but he was worried that many people would come to visit him, which might make him unable to refuse, so he decided to go out of the city to hunt so that no one would bother him anymore.
It is December weather in the morning, and there are faint snowflakes falling in the sky.
Li Ke, Wang Zhongchang, Su Dingfang, Chen Qi, Li Mengchang and Sun Erlang and other generals of the Bingzhou Governor's Office came out of the Han Palace and rode a horse toward Mingde Gate under the escort of two hundred eagle guards.
Because it is very cold in Chang'an, and there are not many people on Zhuque Street in the early morning.
Therefore, Li Ke and his group galloped quickly and soon arrived at Mingde Gate.
The guards of Mingde Gate immediately informed their superiors when they saw the black-armored cavalry representing the Han Palace.
When Li Ke and his group arrived at Mingde Gate, a young school came towards him.
When the school saw Li Ke, he gave a slight salute, "I am humble, Fang Yi has met His Highness the King of Han!"
The performance of the primary school is neither humble nor arrogant, which greatly improves Li Ke's influence on him.
"No need to be polite, open the door! I want to go out of the city to hunt!" Li Ke said lightly. He didn't need to be so polite to a small school as a person, but Fang Yi had a good influence on him, so he said this to Fang Yi.
"No" Fang Yi agreed and waved to the gate tower, and the door of Mingde Gate opened.
Li Ke and his party ignored Fang Yi's Mingde Gate Guards' envy, jealousy and hatred, and rushed out of the city one after another. The black-clad guards who left the city were like tigers leaving the cage, running wildly on the spacious pipeline. The generals around Li Ke were all longings on the battlefield, and liked the feeling of galloping on the back of the horse. Because Li Ke did not limit everyone's speed, everyone let go of their hands and feet to urge the horses and run towards the destination of this hunt.
Seeing Li Ke and others disappear, Fang Yi came to his senses, but he murmured to himself, "As sooner or later, I will join this cavalry!"
Li Ke and his group arrived at the west mountain outside Chang'an City where they had been hunting in the past, and began to dabble in groups.
Because Li Ke knew that there were new army camps in this generation. Although the new army participated in the military operation of the northern expedition to the Turks, the remaining more than 30,000 people were guarding Dingxiang City. However, since it was the new army camp, there would naturally be military guards. Therefore, Li Ke did not dare to make trouble, so he told everyone not to go deep into the west mountain too deep to avoid unhappiness with the defenders inside.
Moreover, in order to avoid visitors, Li Ke decided to camp in Xishan and rest and prepare to hunt here for three days.
Because of this purpose, when Li Ke and others returned home with a lot of loads, Wang Zhongchang had already started camping and preparing to cook the food they had hunted today.
At night, the bonfire shone on the west mountain and laughed loudly. This is Li Ke and his confidant generals!
Li Ke stayed in Xishan for three days, hunting and drinking for the past three days, and he lived a very comfortable life, but he was so anxious that he was the other person, and that person was naturally Ashinayun.
Li Ke promised Ashinayun to take her to play after returning to Chang'an.
So the next day, Asunayun went to the Han Palace to find Li Ke, but Yang En, the general manager of the Han Palace, told Asunayun that Han Palace Li Ke had left the city early in the morning to hunt.
Ashinayun could only return to the inn without success, waiting for Li Ke's return. But at night, he did not see Li Ke return. The next day, she went to the Han Palace to find Li Ke. Yang En, the chief supervisor of the Han Palace, told him that Li Ke had not returned overnight and had not come back yet. In this way, Ashinayun returned without success.
In the past few days, there are legends in the market that King Li Ke of Han defeated the Turks and made meritorious contributions. The emperor was preparing to reward him heavily, and he wanted to marry the daughter of Tuli Khan as his wife, so that the Tang and the Turks would always be in love with each other. Some people said that King Li Ke of Han made great contributions and Li Chengqian's position as crown prince might not be guaranteed. Therefore, Changsun Wuji proposed a plan to marry the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, with the purpose of letting Li Ke get married to Ashinayun and causing him to lose the opportunity to be crown prince. Some people said that Li Ke would enter the center... Anyway, there are everything.
And this is the real reason why Ashi Nayun was anxious. At first, she looked for Li Ke just for what Li Ke promised her to take her to play.
However, when Tuli proposed to Li Shimin, Li Shimin did not agree to Tuli at that time. Tuli felt that Li Shimin was not very enthusiastic about the marriage between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he told Ashinayun tactfully about this matter, hoping that Ashinayun would be mentally prepared.
When Ashinayun heard Tuli's warning, when she went to Li Ke on the first day, she also thought about asking Li Ke about his own thoughts and whether he would marry him.
Because Ashi Nayun felt that she had really fallen in love with Li Ke after coming to Chang'an. At this time, she realized that her love for Li Ke was so steadfast and unyielding. Moreover, for some reason, she was very eager to marry Li Ke.
However, after two days of rumors, she heard some rumors about Li Ke, and she knew what Li Ke would lose after marrying Li Ke, and she knew more about what Li Ke's ambition was. Therefore, she was rushing to find Li Ke and wanted to ask Li Ke for his opinion in person. If Li Ke was willing, for Li Ke, she could make a rejection request to Li Shimin, and she could marry someone else.
Therefore, Li Ke would not have thought about what kind of gossip was circulating in Chang'an City these three days.
Therefore, he walked leisurely on the way back to the Han Palace, and was more happy to chat with Su Dingfang, Li Mengchang, Sun Erlang and others around him.
However, when Li Ke returned to the Han Palace and Yang En told him the message in Chang'an City, Li Ke suddenly felt something was wrong. He seemed to have noticed a trace of danger. But this was just his instinctive feeling. He just had a premonition, and he really didn't know what would happen.
"Old Yang, please let Zhu Tong come to the study room!" Li Ke said lightly.
"No" Yang En bowed and left.
Soon, Zhu Tong came to the study.
"Did you hear the gossip in Chang'an?" Li Ke asked coldly.
"I heard it!" Zhu Tong replied. Years of intelligence work have made him unsuspecting and unstoppable.
"This may be the first step of the enemy's conspiracy! You must investigate and deal with the person who left a message on the walk and ask who is instructing him?" Li Ke ordered in a stern tone.
"No" Zhu Tong took the order and left the study room.
