Songzhou is located on the canal and is the key to the waterways in the Central Plains after Luoyang.
King Li Ke of Wu served as the governor of Songzhou and had been stationed here for some time.
It is natural that Li Shimin arranged for a son to be stationed here. The former land of Northern Qi was not long after returning, and the people were strong. The rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty first broke out here.
This Qizhou rebellion was another obvious signal, and the east was still unstable. If there was no timely response to a soldier in Songzhou, it would be unknown how wide the rebellion would have expanded, which further confirmed the necessity of His Majesty's arrangement and the wise and wise warriors.
In addition, the canal passed by, Chang'an and Luoyang were all reliant on the supply of food in the south, and the entire Tang Dynasty was supported by taxes in the south, so it became increasingly necessary for Songzhou to capture troops.
King Li Ke of Wu was the most heroic among the princes, and he was the person Li Shimin trusted the most, so he also had the meaning of training here.
In the past, not many people paid too much attention to Songzhou, but in recent times, more and more people have been in the city of Songzhou, many of which are related to ministers and even aristocratic families, and their target is naturally King Li Ke of Wu.
Some of them were observing, some were on guard, and some were trying to enter the Songzhou Governor's Office.
Everything was caused by chaos in Chang'an. The original prince Li Chengqian was deposed. Now the Eastern Palace is in vain and there is no new candidate yet.
King Li Ke of Wu is the best among the princes, and he is extremely heroic and has made many contributions. He has always been loved by His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, the crown prince was deposed and the second prince Li Kuan died young, and Li Ke was the de facto eldest son.
Although he was not a legitimate child, he was also very likely to succeed the throne.
Especially now that the situation is unclear, as a popular candidate for the throne competition, King Li Ke of Wu naturally attracted special attention.
Some people come to Songzhou to observe. Perhaps the master behind this wants to choose Li Ke as his supporter; some people are wary of it because they do not want Li Ke to compete for the position. Some people hope to get to know His Highness the King of Wu now, reach an alliance as soon as possible, or play in front of the battlefield.
But unexpectedly, the Songzhou Governor's Office was extremely calm, and King Li Ke of Wu did not do anything extraordinary.
Logically speaking, it is not surprising that he rushed back to Chang'an District to fight for the position of prince. At least he should have some means of fighting for it, but there was nothing, as if Li Ke himself didn't care about these things at all.
Is this really the case?
Everyone was very curious. Could it be that His Highness of the King of Wu really had no desires and no desires? He had no idea about the position of crown prince?
This makes no sense. Which prince doesn't want to become the crown prince and sit on the throne? And he is also a capable and capable prince.
Moreover, Li Ke has a very high background. He is not only the son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the grandson of the former Emperor of Sui, and has the bloodline of emperors of two dynasties. To put it carefully, he is most qualified to ascend the throne. If he has no idea about this, most of them do not believe it.
But why was there no movement in the Songzhou Governor's Office? Could it be that His Highness the King of Wu was making some arrangements in secret? Many people had huge questions. For this reason, they gathered in Songzhou City to observe and inquire in all aspects, hoping to get a little bit of information and analyze and explore His Highness the King of Wu's intentions.
But for a long time, no one knew what the King of Wu was selling? I wonder what he planned?
Li Ke would never be without desires. Du Chuke, the Minister of Works, who came to supervise the renovation of the canal, was very sure of this. His men were the ones who monitored Li Ke in Songzhou City.
As the chief of the Wei Prince's Mansion, he had already taken all his wealth to Li Tai.
Since Du Ruhui's death, the situation of Du Shi in Jingzhao has been much worse than before. His nephew Du He followed Li Chengqian to rebel a few days ago, which was another huge blow to the Du family.
For Du Ruhui's sake, and with the deep foundation of the Du family in Jingzhao, and His Majesty the Emperor must be concerned about it, Du Chuke himself was not affected much.
But things obviously cannot be forgotten like this, and the Du family has also suffered a significant blow. Although they will not be in a slump, they are not as good as before.
In order for the Du family to rise again and gain a place, we must grasp the Li Tai line. As long as Li Tai is pushed to the position of emperor, the benefits of his confidant, the chief historical minister are naturally indispensable. The future of the Du family in Jingzhao can be fully expected.
Although people are not in Chang'an and cannot help Li Tai, since they are close to Songzhou, it is necessary to focus on Li Ke, a competitor.
In Du Chuke's mind, Li Ke's threat was more than Li Zhi. Relatively speaking, Li Zhi was relatively young, and Youdao was the eldest son of the country. Usually, he would never bypass the eldest son to establish a young son.
Relatively speaking, Li Ke was more steady and heroic, and he made the most contributions among the princes and the most like the emperor among the princes.
Li Shimin has said more than once that I am not shy about Li Ke's favor. What does this mean? Moreover, Li Ke has a noble bloodline and a high ranking.
It is not appropriate to bypass Li Tai and establish Li Zhi, but this problem does not exist in the establishment of the older Li Ke. If you have to be serious about the issue of legitimate and illegitimate, the emperor could have made Concubine Yang a powerful empress.
In order to establish the tenth son of Emperor Jing of Han, the method he adopted was to enthrone the beautiful Wang as the queen, and Liu Che naturally became the queen.
Concubine Yang was born with a noble family and was fully qualified to become the queen. As for her identity as a princess in the previous dynasty, it was not worth mentioning in the face of the general principles of inheritance of the country. As long as His Majesty the Emperor was willing, there were no obstacles at all.
Li Zhi himself does not have so many advantages. His background is exactly the same as Li Tai, and his talent level is not necessarily higher than Li Tai.
However, Li Ke is proficient in all kinds of civil and military skills, and he also holds military power. Many veterans in the army support him, which is the truly terrible enemy.
Therefore, we must pay close attention to Li Ke's every move, especially at this critical moment. Du Chuke simply does not believe that Li Ke can be calm. The more calm he looks on the surface, there will be some shameful things behind him.
Everyone can use the means. How can Li Tai play Li Chengqian behind the scenes? How can Li Ke be completely innocent? Who knows what kind of actions will be behind this?
But after observing for a long time, he really didn't find anything. This made Du Chuke very surprised, and he kept muttering in his heart what the hell was doing in the King of Wu's Mansion?
Songzhou is too peaceful, and peace is often a precursor to the arrival of a storm. What kind of sudden changes in the wind and rain will occur in Songzhou?
At the same time, Du Chuke was also a little worried about the situation in Chang'an. He was not here, and I wonder if all the actions of His Highness King Wei were going well?
...
It was at this time that Kan Ling came to Songzhou. The Xie family's huge source of information came in handy at this time. They did not notice any actions of King Li Ke of Wu, but found other abnormalities in Songzhou.
But Du Chuke knew nothing about this and did not know that the most serious hidden dangers in the Wei Palace appeared here, let alone any precautions.
After a long time, it was related to Wang Jundu's remnant. Xie Yi was really amused when he heard this news. People often say that the centipede worm will die without being stiff. He didn't have any experience before, but this time he really saw it.
Wang Shichong was wiped out and Wang Jundu was left with such a disaster. Unexpectedly, after taking Wang Jundu in one fell swoop, there were still remnants of evil, causing trouble.
This made Xie Yi very unhappy and felt a little crisis.
After all, it was himself who wiped out Wang Jundu in Qizhou. As a result, he left behind a remnant. It was a crime of being lighter, but if it was serious, he still didn't know what it would be said.
Now is an important moment. Never be caught in these issues and criticized easily, otherwise there will be no doubt that there will be endless disasters.
What's even more terrifying is that it was said to be a deliberate act of joining forces with Li Ke, and even said that it was his indulgence or instructing Wang Jundu to remnants.
Because he and Li Ke joined forces at that time, and now they are both involved in the storm of establishing the crown prince. If this problem was discovered by Li Tai and others, they would never miss this thousand-year-old opportunity to attack the King of Wu and King of Jin at the same time.
This kind of thing that benefits the Wei Palace is naturally impossible to do!
Therefore, we must naturally completely eliminate this hidden danger. Xie Yi was not convenient to leave Chang'an, so Kan Leung came to Songzhou unscrupulously to help Xie Yi solve this problem.
The commercial shops in Songzhou City are naturally the eyes and ears of the Xie family in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are many hidden stakes. After all, Songzhou is a key place. There is also Li Ke here.
In Xie Yi's information strategic classification, it belongs to the first level and is the most important region.
Now all the light and dark whistles are being mobilized here, and countless news has been collected for Kan Ling. Although we found information about Wang Jundu's remnants, we lost our traces for no reason.
It seemed as if these people suddenly disappeared from Songzhou, and they felt like they were evaporated from the world. What was going on? Kan Ling suddenly became a little nervous.
Could it be that someone noticed their existence and actions? It’s unreasonable that the Xie family’s actions are quite secret and will definitely not be easily discovered.
This group of people appeared in Songzhou, and it is very likely that they planned to do anything to King Li Ke of Wu. They should not leave until they succeed.
But where are they hiding now? If they cannot catch them in time, if these remnants are trying to do something and are completely out of control, it is definitely not a good thing to be far from the overall situation of Xie Yi's hope.
This is not other ordinary business, nor is it a house-making event, but a major event that concerns your wealth, life and future. You must never be careless.
So Kan Ling did not dare to delay and acted immediately, hoping to get the remnants out in time. Then when he had no progress, someone came to the door.
A man suddenly appeared in the Xie family's business in Songzhou, asking him to see Mr. Kan.
This is a very surprising thing. First of all, I noticed the information system of the Xie family, at least I found the contact station, and clearly knew that Kan Ling was in Songzhou.
How many people in the world can do this? You must know that Kan Ling’s whereabouts are almost top secret. No one knows them except Xie Yi and a few high-level stakes in Songzhou.
How could the news be leaked? Kan Ling originally planned to strictly investigate the information system and find loopholes, the mysterious guest came back again and told him that he didn't have to be nervous, but it was just an old friend who talked about the past.
Old friend? Who would it be? Kan Ling suddenly became interested.
Since the other party is so sincere, what's wrong with seeing it? This kind of enemy is in the dark and my feelings are really bad in the light.
So after making some arrangements, Kan Ling went to the appointment openly. Unexpectedly, he was stunned when he saw the guest for the first time.
When the purple long skirt and veil appeared, he was stunned and understood in an instant what was going on.
If you have to ask who knows her best in the world, it is definitely not Xie Yi or Du Xijun, but the person in front of you. With her understanding and talent and means of her, it is not difficult to detect things that others are not easy to detect, and it is not surprising to know her whereabouts.
"Yuexian, is it you?" Kan Ling lost her mind for a moment, then she was stunned and asked Xiao Yuexian, the person she was thinking about day and night. Her surprise was beyond words.
"Why, Mr. Kan is also at a loss?" After the veil, Xiao Yuexian's teasing came, and there seemed to be a hint of smile.
Smile...
I haven't felt this way for many years. Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, the cold frost seemed to have melted away. Did he change his temperament? Suddenly, Kan Len felt a little excited, and an uncontrollable excitement began to rise to his heart.
Loss of composure!
Yes, Kan Ling is always serious and steady, and she is indeed a little out of her compulsion today. It seems that a man loses his compulsion in front of a woman is enough to explain the problem.
And she was a woman who was thinking day and night but was far away from the mountains and could not get close to each other. Kan Ling had even made plans to never meet again in this life and had been lonely for a lifetime. Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared and took the initiative to find herself.
How can you not be excited about this situation? What does a little loss of composure mean?
"Yuexian, are you okay?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Yuexian did not answer directly, but the question with a smile was very telling, unlike the cold and cold attitude in the past.
This made Kan Ling very happy. This was probably the scene he wanted to see the most.
"Yuexian, you are here in Songzhou..."
"I will do whatever you come." Before Kan Ling finished speaking, Xiao Yuexian rushed to answer.
"You..." An answer pulled Kan Len back from excitement. He was here to find Wang Jun to save the remnants. Is Xiao Yuexian the same?
What did she do for these people? Could it be that she still didn't give up? Or was she planning to be far away from herself...? For a moment, Kan Ling couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuexian giggled and said, "Look, I've scared you. I've figured it out. After doing this last vote, I'll let go... But, I have an idea. If this last vote joins hands with you and then deposed Li Shimin's son, my family's great revenge will be considered revenge.
Then I... From then on, as you wish, as long as you don't dislike it... I don't know what you mean?"
