Chapter 447 After Li Ke entered the harem, he arrived at his mother Yang Fei’s palace. Before he could reach the palace, several eunuchs and palace maids at the door saw him coming.

"His Highness of the King of Wu is back, Empress, His Highness of the King of Wu is back!" Several eunuchs looked at Li Ke and immediately ran in and shouted loudly. At this time, an exquisite middle-aged woman ran out of the palace gate.

Although she looks over forty years old, she has no charm at all. It can be seen that she was a great beauty when she was young.

"Ke'er!" the middle-aged woman shouted excitedly. This person was Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the princess of the previous dynasty. In terms of bloodline, Concubine Yang's bloodline was undoubtedly the noblest of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ke was even more noble. Her great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all emperors.

"I've seen my mother!" Li Ke saw Concubine Yang at the gate of the palace and almost ran over. Before he could climb the steps, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Ke'er, Ke'er, my son, mom finally saw you!" Concubine Yang was very excited. She quickly walked down the stairs and hugged Li Ke. She had been out for four or five years and had not been able to meet her. As a mother, she must have missed her very much. She was surprised and happy to learn that Li Ke was going back to Beijing.

"Mom, the child is unfilial and cannot serve his subordinates!" Li Ke also said in his arms with Concubine Yang choked.

"Well, it's okay, it's okay. On the fiefdom, I'll do my job well for Your Majesty, and I'm also filial to my mother. Get up quickly, the ground is cold, go back to the palace and say, go back to the palace!" Concubine Yang pulled Li Ke and said, Li Ke stood up and followed Concubine Yang into the palace.

"It's so warm. I remember it wasn't that warm before!" Li Ke entered the house and found that it was really warm. It was like this before in Ganlu Hall. Now when I got here, I feel warm.

"This is the stove made by Duke Hu. Now the entire palace is equipped with this stove. It is very warm, and it is also safe to burn firewood. There is no carbon poison. When sitting in the house, sometimes you have to sweat!" Yang Fei held Li Ke's hand and said with a smile.

"Well, I have heard of this Duke Hu, the son of Uncle Qin Qiong and Qin. If you have the chance, you have to meet him." Li Ke nodded with a smile.

"You all go out, let's have a chat." Concubine Yang said and asked the servants to go out, and the servants immediately bowed out.

Then Concubine Yang pulled Li Ke down and looked at the son carefully. She did look very much like Li Shimin.

"Ke'er, why are you coming back at this time? Mom wishes you didn't want to come back. Why are you coming back?" Concubine Yang stared at Li Ke and asked quietly and anxiously.

"Ah, my father wrote a letter saying that my mother missed Ke'er very much and asked Ke'er to return to Beijing to visit her mother!" Li Ke looked at her mother pretending to be surprised.

In fact, he himself knew very well what the purpose of coming to the capital was, and people from those aristocratic families had found him.

"Hey, you shouldn't have come back. Now the capital city, the prince and the King of Wei are all competing for the position of the prince. People from the aristocratic families also want to support their own people. Are people from the aristocratic families looking for you? Tell the truth to Wei Niang!" Concubine Yang stared at Li Ke and asked.

Li Ke heard this and nodded.

"You, you!" Concubine Yang said and hit Li Ke hard a few times, but Li Ke sat there without moving.

"You shouldn't listen to them. The position of the prince is quite stable now. In the past two years, the aristocratic family has been very miserable by His Majesty. They want to pull His Royal Highness down. My mother guessed that they thought Li Tai was not good, so they wanted to pull you into this vortex. Why did you agree?" Yang Fei nodded when she saw him and said anxiously.

"Children, child, child is not convinced, why can't I be the emperor? He is Li Chengqian, child is also OK. In terms of origin, I am nobler than him. I am not inferior to him. My ministers are not inferior to him.

There are so many people who support me now, but I don’t want to fight, but I’m unwilling to accept it. In addition, Changsun Wuji has lost power, and it is not impossible for me to fight for the crown prince. In addition, my father also has this meaning, why don’t I fight?" Li Ke sat there, looking up at Concubine Yang and said.

"Who said Your Majesty has this meaning? Don't you understand what Your Majesty meant? Letting you stand up and fight is to attract the aristocratic family!" Concubine Yang said anxiously to Li Ke, and Li Ke nodded. Of course he understood, but there was a chance like this.

"Mom, don't worry, the child understands!" Li Ke looked at Concubine Yang and said,

Before he came back, Li Shimin wrote him a letter, which he burned after reading. The content of the letter cannot be read to others, so he could only grit his teeth and fight. Of course, he himself hoped to win.

"What do you know? You know? Nowadays, those generals basically agree that they are His Highness the Crown Prince. The proportion of poor officials is getting higher and higher, and they also support His Highness the Crown Prince. Fang Pushe also supports His Highness. How can you fight?

Although the other ministers of the aristocratic families are also valued by His Majesty, they are nothing compared to Fangpushe, let alone Duke Hu. "Concubine Yang looked at Li Ke anxiously and said.

"Duke Hu, Qin Huaidao?" Li Ke said in surprise when he heard Concubine Yang say this.

"Yes, it's Qin Huaidao, who is highly valued and trusted by His Majesty. He also established great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, including papermaking, printing, pig iron, salt, sweet potatoes and potatoes. He made them all. With these, the Tang Dynasty can be passed down for hundreds of years, and no one can shake the royal status." Concubine Yang nodded and said.

"So, I need to get to know someone who is capable, but I need to make friends with you." Li Ke nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.

"Ke'er, you can't win him over. You should know that he married Xian'er. Xian'er is His Highness's real sister. Xian'er must support His Highness. How can you win over?

But I want to tell you that you must not offend Qin Huaidao. Before, the slave of the lord offended Qin Huaidao and had been demoted to the prince and drove out of the capital. If you can't win him over, you must not offend him. Remember!" Yang Fei sat there, reminding Li Ke.

"Well, boy remember." Li Ke nodded and said.

"Wi Niang heard that he supports His Highness the Crown Prince and has helped His Highness many times, but he did not say it clearly, that he just supports His Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty repeatedly wanted Qin Huaidao to work in the Eastern Palace.

He didn't go, and His Highness did not agree. No one knew what he was thinking. However, my mother still wanted to remind you again and again that you must not offend Qin Huaidao. It was because the King of Wei had offended Qin Huaidao and it was useless to come to the door to apologize many times.

Your Majesty also has great trust in Qin Huaidao. Now the Qin Mansion is a Duke of the Three Kingdoms, a Duke of the County, a Marquis, and an Earl. The Qin Mansion now has three males. "Concubine Yang reminded Li Ke again, and Li Ke nodded, he knew the news.

"You can't offend me, but it's impossible to win over me. You just show kindness to him. If the aristocratic family wants you to deal with Qin Huaidao, you must not agree. In your Majesty's heart, you are not as important as Qin Huaidao.

After all, the prince is there, you are an ordinary prince. Your Majesty gives up when he says he gives up. Even the slave is given up by His Majesty. Who else can he not give up?" Concubine Yang warned Li Ke again and said, she knew very well about these things. After all, her father is also the emperor, and she understood how the emperor did things.

"Don't worry, mom, I understand that even if I can't be a friend, I must not be an enemy." Li Ke nodded and said to Yang Fei.

"Well, in addition, Duke Lu, Duke E, Duke Liang, Duke Wei, and Duke Britain will definitely oppose you going up, and you must respect them enough. They oppose it because they are worried that you will liquidate them. After all, they have defeated your grandfather's world." Concubine Yang sat there and spoke.

Li Ke nodded. He understood this worry. He actually had no idea of ​​avenging his grandfather. He was the prince of Li Tang and his surname was Li, but he also knew that he could use this excuse to clean up all the generals. Of course, the premise was that he could be the emperor.

And those generals were also worried about this. Once those generals did not listen to Li Ke, Li Ke would be able to kill them with this excuse, so those generals would never allow themselves to go up.

"The child will talk to the military generals and ministers in the future to reassure them. Even if they don't support me, as long as they don't object to me too much." Li Ke nodded and said.

"Oh, it's very difficult. They are quite afraid of you. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has been doing things very steadily in the past two years. All the ministers in the court have also looked at each other and are very outstanding." Concubine Yang looked at her son worriedly and started talking.

It is not that easy to compete for the throne. If Li Chengqian keeps making mistakes, there is still a chance. But now Li Chengqian has become much more stable and has a good leg fatigue.

Although Changsun Wuji lost his power, with the secret support of those military generals and Qin Huaidao's secret support, the power is much larger than in previous years.

"I know, mom, don't worry!" Li Ke nodded and said.

"Okay, let's have a meal in the palace later. It's getting late. Be careful anyway!" Concubine Yang sighed and said, "There is nothing I can do now. Since they have all come back, they can only fight for it. In fact, she hopes that her son can succeed."

"This, mom, Cheng Chusi and the others have already set up a seat in the Qin Mansion Restaurant and let the child go there. Otherwise, how can the child come to see his mother in two days?" Li Ke asked with a smirk.

"You know how to mess around!" When Concubine Yang heard this, she laughed and blamed her son.
