Chapter 98 The Shepherd Boy
Li Ke is no stranger to Yang Zhengdao, but Yang Zhengdao knows little about Li Ke.

The only thing Yang Zhengdao knew about Li Ke was what Li Ke had done in the Turkic court, but because Yang Zhengdao knew about Li Ke's affairs in the court, he became more and more curious about Li Ke.

Why would a prince who was pampered and pampered in the royal family since childhood look like Li Ke?

"Why did you come to Turkic?" Yang Zhengdao looked at Li Ke beside him, and asked suddenly.

Li Ke didn't expect Yang Zhengdao to ask such a question suddenly, and he didn't know the purpose of Yang Zhengdao's question, but he still replied: "The Turkic soldiers are approaching the Weishui River, and they want me to send hostages from the Tang Dynasty to the north. I am the third son of the Tang Emperor, so I came naturally." .”

Yang Zhengdao laughed softly: "With your intelligence, if you don't want to come, you have a way to not come."

Yang Zhengdao's tone was very firm, as if he was sure that Li Ke would go north for the sake of quality, and it must be his own willingness.

Li Ke didn't know why Yang Zhengdao was so determined, but he still replied cautiously: "The prince of the country, for the country and the people, why don't I come?"

"For the country and the people, my cousin is very brave, but for so many, isn't it for yourself?" Yang Zhengdao asked with raised eyebrows after hearing Li Ke's answer.

Li Ke vaguely guessed the intention of Yang Zhengdao's question, but he pretended to be ignorant and asked back: "For myself? What can I figure out when I am in Turkic?"

Yang Zhengdao replied: "Fame, credit, favor, seniority, although you are in Turkic, you can get too much. The other princes are still studying in Chang'an, but you are already so much ahead of them."

At this time, Li Shimin's princes were still young, even Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were a little older, were still at the age of school, and they had nothing to do but study in the palace all day long, but now Li Ke has gone north to Turkic. , I have saved a lot of credit and fame for myself, which even the prince Li Chengqian has never done.

Hearing Yang Zhengdao's words, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that at Yang Zhengdao's age, why would he think so much? Could it be that the blood of Emperor Sui Yang has such talent?
Li Tang's world was won from Yang Sui, Yang Zhengdao was the emperor of the later Sui Dynasty, and Li Ke was the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty. The relationship was not so harmonious. Li Ke was naturally wary of Yang Zhengdao in front of him.

Li Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "Cousin is thinking too much, why do I want these things as a young man?"

Yang Zhengdao said: "Why, cousin, you must know better than me. If you are only willing to be an idle king, why come to Turkic? Even if you came to Turkic, why should you be reduced to such a situation?"

It was the first time for Li Ke to go north to Turkic, and it was the first time someone said these words to him, and this time it happened to be a boy around his age.

Li Ke didn't know the purpose of Yang Zhengdao's words, so he said: "Cousin is a smart person, and it is taboo to be acquainted with shallow words. Although you and I are cousins, this is the first time we meet today, so you tell me these things , it might be too early."

After hearing Li Ke's words, Yang Zhengdao also knew what Li Ke meant. Li Ke felt that Yang Zhengdao's words were too abrupt given the current relationship between the two of them.

Yang Zhengdao said: "Since my cousin thinks I'm being abrupt, then I won't ask any more. But I have absolutely no malice, I'm just curious, what's so good about this throne that can make so many people flock to it? "

Li Ke did not expect that these words would come from Yang Zhengdao's mouth.

Who is Yang Zhengdao, the former King of the Sui Dynasty, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty who was supported by the former Sui elders in the north, shouldn't such a person have an incomparable thirst for power?But why did he say these words? What kind of person is this young man in front of him? He can have such contradictory identities and words.

Now, it was Li Ke's turn to be curious.

"This doesn't seem to be what you said." Li Ke said to Yang Zhengdao.

Yang Zhengdao laughed at himself and said: "I was brought to Turkic when I was a child, and Ke Dun single-handedly pushed me to the position of Emperor Sui. I will do whatever she wants me to do. I never dare to do it in front of her." Too much to say. If you have been imprisoned to be the emperor for a long time, you must be the same as me."

Looking at Yang Zhengdao's appearance, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a wave of turmoil in his heart.

Is the emperor still being imprisoned?But think about it too.

Princess Yicheng is determined to restore the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Zhengdao is the only candidate. The nominal emperor Yang Zhengdao naturally has to do what he does, and he has to do what he doesn’t do, but how can such an emperor have any fun in doing it? .

Li Ke asked Yang Zhengdao: "Why did you tell me these things when you came here today?"

Yang Zhengdao turned his head to look at the guards who were still some distance away from him, and whispered to Li Ke: "Because I'm tired of being an emperor, and I'm tired."

Although Yang Zhengdao's voice was small, when his voice reached Li Ke's ears, Li Ke's heart was stirred up. Why did Yang Zhengdao say such words suddenly.

Li Ke asked, "What do you mean?"

Yang Zhengdao replied: "The Great Sui Dynasty has already died, and it is completely dead in the hearts of the people in the world. What is not dead is only Ke Dun's obsession. The Great Sui court in Dingxiang is just a play of self-deception, but with the Now that the Turkic situation is taking a turn for the worse, this play in Dingxiang may not be sung for long. Instead of waiting for the stage to collapse and be crushed to death together, why don't I get out of the stage earlier and stay out of it."

Li Ke was stunned when he heard Yang Zhengdao's words.

The Turks and the Tang Dynasty have reversed the situation. Today's Turks are suffering from internal and external troubles, and they are struggling. Yang Zhengdao can naturally see it.

As the saying goes, there are no eggs under the cover of the nest. The later Sui court in Dingxiang was originally a chick under the Turkic wings. As Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Zheng Dao would probably lose his life in this defeat.

Yang Zhengdao came to look for Li Ke today in order to save his life.

Yang Zhengdao is a smart person, and Li Ke was not surprised to have such considerations and worries, but Li Ke never expected that Yang Zhengdao would find him.

Li Ke asked: "Why did you come looking for me? I am in Turkic now, but even self-protection is a problem."

Yang Zhengdao looked into Li Ke's eyes and replied, "Because I believe in you, you must have a way to survive."

Li Ke then asked: "Well, even if I can survive, why should I help you?"

"Because of the Chuanguo Yuxi, I can let you return to Tang with the Chuanguo Yuxi." Yang Zhengdao said to Li Ke.

Since the death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the disputes among the heroes, the Chuanguo Yuxi was carried by Empress Xiao and brought it all the way to Turkic. After that, he stayed away from power disputes and lived in seclusion. The national jade seal is in the hands of Yang Zhengdao.

Although the Chuanguo Yuxi is only a piece of jade, it is related to the so-called orthodoxy and the so-called destiny, which is what Li Shimin lacks most at the moment.

Welcoming the Jade Seal of the Kingdom back to Beijing is a great achievement!

　This chapter has come to an end, starting tomorrow, the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, our third prince is preparing to return to Beijing.
