Chapter 252
Li Ke smiled suddenly, and said: "No disease, speak from the heart. Ever since I first saw you, I felt that we hit it off, and I can't explain why. I just look at you kindly, and treat you as my younger brother, or Like a nephew. Don't you think it's weird!"

Wang Pingan thought for a while, and said solemnly: "It may be that in the previous life, His Highness and Pingan rubbed shoulders on the street [-] times, and this is in exchange for this life. Your Highness's love for Ping'an!"

Li Ke was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said, "Could it be that we just pass by each other on the street like strangers? Maybe we were partners in the same boat crossing the river once!"

But Wang Pingan didn't take his word for it, and pretended to be in deep thought, and said to himself: "Could it be a couple? Oh, I really need to find a fortune teller for this, and do the math!"

Suddenly, he said loudly: "Your Highness, how about you tell Ping An the horoscope of your birthday, and Ping An go to the temple to ask for a lottery for you, what do you think?"

Li Ke stopped laughing a bit, seeing that Wang Ping was stupid and pretended not to understand what he said, but he couldn't help it.He also said similar things to other people who seemed to be "promising". After hearing these people, they were either flattered or shocked. Anyway, they were all shocked. There is no panic!

However, Wang Pingan was not frightened at all. Instead, he insisted on researching in a serious manner, what was the reason for their previous life to have a good relationship in this life!

Li Ke's hearty smile was helplessly put away, replaced by a frown.He thought to himself: "This kid can do it, the brain is not in vain, it seems that the future is not just a doctor's order!"

He didn't answer Wang Ping'an's words, but said: "This is not far from the palace gate, and I'm going to enter the palace right away. I'm not sick, so you should go back to the Imperial Medical Office earlier. Although it's just an agent, the new official can't afford it. There are three fires, if you burn two, it’s still okay!” Then, he knocked his stirrups, accelerated the horse, and galloped towards a small square in front of him!

Wang Ping'an clasped his fists on the horse and said loudly: "Respectfully send off Your Highness, Your Highness, go slowly!" The guards of the Wu Palace galloped past him, raising a cloud of dust.

Waving his hand to disperse the flying dust, Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's easy to understand that he wooed me. But it's fine, why did he explain next year's scientific examination questions? Could it be that the court is discussing this matter now?"

Standing on the street, I thought for a while.Shaking his head, forget it, I should know, I can know without guessing, I shouldn't know, even if I want to break my head, I can't guess.Why waste this brain, it is really unnecessary.

He rode his horse and turned onto the main road. This time he decided to be honest and forget about going to Changsun Wuji's mansion. Just wait. I am a small person, and I am going to meet the first official of the dynasty. Maybe I don't want to wait. Let the people of the eldest grandson's family invite themselves in directly?
Ganlu Temple.

Sitting behind the case, Li Shimin tapped the Longshu case with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Let's decide on the Turkic matter first, so we don't need to worry too much. I guess once the news spreads to the grassland, the group of Turkic Big and small Khan, I have to mess up first!"

"That would save us a lot of trouble!" Changsun Wuji laughed.

There are more than a dozen ministers sitting in the hall, both civil and military, and Changsun Wuji sits first.

The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had long discussed a strategy, which was not fundamentally changed from the previous national policy against the Turks.It is a good thing that the Turks have civil strife, but this civil strife must develop according to their wishes, and the Turks cannot be tossed about by themselves.

Ashina Qiboer, in Li Shimin's eyes, is a bereaved dog who has lost his pasture, but as long as he is given the title of Little Khan and various supplies, then he is the best support object.It can be said that he will bite whoever you ask him to bite!

If Ashina Qiboer's power grows irresistibly in the future, and he will not listen to the master of Tang Dynasty, that's okay, isn't there still the proton sent by the Turkic Khan? Put him back and give him support. Let him bite too...

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Our Tang Dynasty will officially send troops to the grassland, at least until next spring when the flowers bloom, but seeing that little prince is so anxious, the emperor actually agreed to let him go back, and even subsidized him with a large amount of supplies. It seems like taking a risk and letting him out of control, but it is actually a good move!"

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's natural, let him go back to build an army first, and then disturb the grassland so that he can't live in peace all winter. Although he must not be able to defeat the Dayan tribe, it will also make Dayan Yanbu has suffered a heavy loss!"

Chu Suiliang patted his thigh, shook his head and said: "When the little prince was defeated, he ran back to beg us again, and at that time, spring came, and our army was assembled. Let him guide the way, even if it is the grassland. Great, the Dayan tribe is also doomed to be destroyed, our Chao army will definitely destroy them with one blow!"

Li Shimin also said proudly: "The most important thing is that the other Turkic tribes on the grassland will not join forces to resist because of my army's entry, and maybe they will come to help and get some benefits by the way!"

"They have a good idea!" The monarchs and ministers in the palace laughed loudly together.

Suddenly, Shi Zhongchen entered the main hall and said: "Report to the emperor, the king of Wu is asking for a face-to-face, and now he is waiting outside the hall."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Let him wait a while!"

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what did you call him for?"

Li Shimin said: "That's what happened. Wasn't it at the poetry meeting yesterday that the scholars were asked to compose poems and discuss strategies. Ke'er thought of the topic of next year's scientific examination from this, and said that he could consider how to dredge the Grand Canal. This kid has a good idea and coincides with me, but I only mentioned it a little bit yesterday, so today I want him to come and explain it in detail, you can listen to it too, this kid is quite knowledgeable!"

As soon as the emperor praised Li Ke, Changsun Wuji immediately narrowed his eyes.Although Li Zhi and Li Ke were both sons of the emperor's brother-in-law, Li Zhi was his nephew, while Li Ke had nothing to do with him.So the emperor's brother-in-law, the more he praised Li Ke, the more unhappy he would be!
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the subject of the scientific examination is a child's play, and the examination of the dredging of the Grand Canal will remind people of whether my Tang Dynasty will use troops against Goguryeo again. Next year, I will use troops against Turks. Taking the Grand Canal as the topic will make the people all over the world say that your majesty is a military force, and maybe they will compare you with Emperor Sui Yang!"

Li Shimin frowned, this is what Changsun Wuji said, if someone else compares him with Emperor Sui Yang, he will be furious immediately.

He said: "Didn't I want to do all the things that should be done for Zhi'er, so that he can be a peaceful and secure king. It is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world. What I can do for him , while you can still do it now, let's do it together!"

But Changsun Wuji said: "But there is no need to set the exam questions for next year as being about the Grand Canal. There are many things about the livelihood of the people in the world. Why do you have to choose this topic!"

The other ministers lowered their heads together, thinking in their hearts: "You don't hate this topic, but you hate Li Ke. As long as it is proposed by him, you have to oppose it!"

Everyone is like a bright mirror in their hearts, but no one dares to say it out, because they can't offend Changsun Wuji!
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Then, what do you think should be tested?" If you say this is not good, then you can say something good!

Changsun Wuji couldn't say anything better. He looked at his colleagues around him, but found that everyone lowered their heads and no one said anything.He snorted and said: "In a hurry, I still can't think of it for a while, why don't I think about it after returning home, and report back to the emperor in a few days."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Success, then you should think about it."

Changsun Wuji felt a little embarrassed when he saw the emperor's compromise. This is the emperor's brother-in-law, who saves face for himself. If you are reprimanded, you will never laugh at yourself!
The topic turned back to the Turkic issue, Li Shimin ordered the little eunuch to hang up a huge map, and began to discuss where to gather the army!

Li Ke waited outside the hall for a long time, and then saw the ministers in the hall come out, he thought to himself: "Finally the talk is over, it's time for me to go in!" He straightened his clothes and got ready .

In order to show his heroic side in front of his father, Li Ke came here wearing a hunting suit. If his father wanted to ask, he would say that he was going out of the city to hunt, and practice riding and shooting by the way. Naturally, he wants to continue the prestige of his father and grandparents, and his father likes himself like this very much!
Changsun Wuji went out of the hall first, followed by the ministers.Seeing him coming out, Li Ke hurried forward to salute, and called out, "Uncle!"

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji looked at him with a dark face, and said: "Why don't you wear the royal clothes when you enter the palace? You are wearing hunting clothes. Could it be that you want to go hunting again?"

Li Ke thought to himself: "If I don't wear a hunting suit, you won't even look up to me, and you will be scolded with a black face!" He bit the bullet and said, "If you go back to uncle, I am trying on a new suit. I heard that my father was summoned, so I hurried over, but I didn't have time to change it, so I didn't want to go hunting!"

Changsun Wuji snorted, ignored his explanation, and still reprimanded: "Playing with things and losing one's ambition!"

Chu Suiliang stabbed the eldest grandson Wuji in the back, smoothed things over with a smile, and said, "Mr. Wuji, the emperor asked you to think about next year's scientific examination questions, why are you still dawdling here, why don't you hurry back to the Yamen, think about it carefully! "

Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves and strode out of Ganlu Hall.Li Ke looked at his background and gritted his teeth, but in the end he had no choice but to lower his head and enter the hall to see his father.

Changsun Wuji walked out of the palace, and walked towards Shangshu Province with Fang Xuanling, Chu Suiliang and others. The morning was a little early today, and he planned to sit in the yamen for a while and then go home.

Changsun Wuji said: "You explain next year's Jinshi department, what kind of questions should be given?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Wu Wang got the inspiration from yesterday's poetry meeting, thinking that dredging the Grand Canal can win the emperor's favor. But he didn't expect that he would not win the favor of your uncle. In fact, I also got an inspiration from the poetry meeting, and I thought of a topic, which is about Wang Ping'an!"

He looked at the two old friends and said, "Do you remember that the Xuzhou governor sent a memorial about the new law for disaster relief?"
