Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 661

The leader of the guards said: "Your Majesty, there are quite a few people. If you get rid of them all, it will be a huge case that must alarm Chang'an. Maybe the Ministry of Punishment will send people down to investigate. Maybe Master Changsun will use this as an excuse to make a big case." Bring some troubles. Of course, you don’t care about troubles, my lord, isn’t it troublesome? We have a lot of troubles now.”

Li Ke thought for a while, and the leader of the guards was right. It is really not easy to make things too big, but he was afraid that things would leak out, and he felt a little regretful. Now I always suspect that others are not strict with their mouths.

But then he thought again, if he didn't tell the story, no one would give him advice, and he didn't have a caring subordinate like Wang Ping'an, so he could only rely on those bastards.

Li Ke asked: "This king wants to invite the crown prince to a banquet, what can you do?"

The leader of the bodyguards swallowed, feeling that this matter is quite difficult, the prince is not willing to answer King Wu at all, he has been away from Beijing for so many days, and he has never met King Wu once, it is not like a brother, but rather Like an enemy, the kind who doesn't get in touch with each other forever.Of course, he is actually an enemy. The king of Wu is planning to assassinate the prince, but he doesn't know if the prince has the same idea.

Seeing that the leader of the guards did not make a sound, Li Ke waved his hand impatiently, cursed inwardly as a waste, and said, "Go and see those two barbarians, and watch them. If there is any abnormal behavior between them, report it to me immediately." Wang knows."

Only then did the leader of the guards heave a sigh of relief, he can't come up with ideas, but it's okay to implement them.He quickly agreed, and escaped from Li Ke's tent as if fleeing for his life.

Li Ke was sitting in the tent, playing with the two small medicine bottles in his hands, but he still couldn't think of a good way to get close to Li Zhi.

After a while, dinner was prepared outside and brought in for Li Ke.Li Ke has no appetite and doesn't want to eat.At this moment, a servant outside said: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is asking to see you."

Li Ke hummed, and thought: "Zhengshilang? A junior official under the eighth rank, what can you do with me?" He was upset, and said loudly: "No, what do you want him to say to his chief?" .”

The servant responded, and said: "I want to invite the prince to the banquet. Today, we hunted a lot of wild game. The officials have lit a bonfire and are roasting. I want to invite the prince to taste it. If the prince doesn't go, the little one will go back soon." them."

Li Ke was taken aback, went to the banquet, lit a bonfire?I don't know if Li Zhi was invited. Logically speaking, it should be invited. I have already invited Li Zhi. Naturally, Li Zhi must be invited first.He said: "Wait a minute, tell them, this king is coming soon."

He casually put the two medicine bottles into his pocket, strode out of the tent, and saw a green-robed official standing outside the tent, who might be the Zheng Shilang who came to invite him.

When Zheng Shilang saw Li Ke coming out, he quickly nodded and bowed to salute.Li Ke put on a smiling face and asked, "What prey did you hunt today?"

Zheng Shilang hurriedly said: "If you go back to the prince, you will get two swans and a big deer. The harvest is quite good, so I ask the prince to move and taste it."

Li Ke said with a smile: "It's nothing unusual to hit a deer, but a swan is a good thing. Ordinary archers can't shoot that high. Is it possible that there are people in our team who are good at shooting?"

Zheng Shilang said with a smile: "No way, I found it in a small lake not far away, and I shot it down directly, and it didn't take much effort."

Li Ke nodded, and said: "Okay, although the roasted swan is a bit of a sight, it is a rare thing after all, and I want to try it. Have you invited the prince?" He asked seemingly casually.

Zheng Shilang hurriedly replied: "Naturally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to go, but the Crown Prince was tired from the journey and had to take a bath before arriving. The officials are all waiting for him!"

Li Ke nodded again, and said: "This king doesn't need to take a bath, no matter how tired he is." He said, and walked to the distant bonfire first.

Zheng Shilang didn't say anything, it's no secret that the king of Wu and the crown prince are at odds, he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, even if he wants to, he will help the crown prince, not the king of Wu.So he just pretended not to hear what Li Ke said.

The officials who followed Li Zhi to Gyeongju this time were all selected by the Ministry of Officials. Although Li Zhi did not have the right to select, but because of the Ministry of Officials controlled by Changsun Wuji, at least [-]% of the officials selected were loyal to Li Zhi. For the remaining [-]%, Li Ke insisted on picking out [-]% who favored him, but they were all officials at the lowest level. Those who don't help, belong to the real people who do things and don't participate in factional struggles. This kind of officials are often the most practical, so they are absolutely indispensable. Even if no one is loyal, they have to use others.

When Li Ke arrived at the bonfire, all the officials stood up and saluted together, asking him to take the second seat, and the chief should reserve it for Li Zhi.

Seeing that the officials close to him were far away from him, Li Ke said with a smile: "This is barbecue game, and it's not a state banquet at the Palace of Ganlu, why are we still arranging seats according to rank. Come on, everyone Find close and close friends, sit casually, don't be reserved."

Of course the officials have to say yes, this is because King Wu "cared" for them, allowing them to eat, drink and have fun, how can they not appreciate it, even if they don't want to move the place, they have to move the place as soon as King Wu said .

The officials who were loyal to Li Ke hurriedly moved over and sat on the lower head of Li Ke, while the officials who did not deal with Li Ke sat on the other side. An honest official who doesn't help anyone.

After Li Ke sat down, the officials who flattered him brought wine bags, but they didn't bring any barbecue. Li Zhi hadn't arrived yet, so others couldn't eat the first piece of meat first.

Li Ke took the wine bag and thought: "Isn't it like the Turkic people, everyone takes turns drinking the bar in the same wine bag? Probably not. Although Li Zhi likes Hu Feng, he doesn't like to drink with others. wine."

He smiled and said: "There is wine to drink, okay, we have to travel hard, drinking some wine can relieve fatigue, it is not a march to fight, there is no need to prohibit alcohol, we are not so particular."

The officials naturally said they were right, waiting for Li Ke to drink, but Li Ke said: "I am very happy to drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat. But although this way of drinking is bold, the prince may not like it. Come on, take me Here comes the drinking utensils."

The servants hurriedly brought jugs and wine glasses and sent them to Li Ke.Li Ke casually put the drinking utensils in front of him, and said: "Have fun, everyone, don't worry about me, what you did before I came here, you can play now."

The officials couldn't really let go, but King Wu let them have fun, even if they couldn't have fun, they had to pretend to be happy. When the officials talked, they stopped staring at Li Ke.

Li Ke thought to himself: "I don't know whether this medicine will work or not. I have not yet verified it, so I came to the banquet. But the opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. Now is the best opportunity. If Li Zhi takes it What's the matter, I can just push it to this barbecue, saying that it's bad because he ate his stomach, so let's hurry up and take the medicine!"

Taking advantage of others not paying attention, he took out the bottle from his arms and wanted to take the medicine, but when he took it out, he immediately became stupid!It turned out that the two medicine bottles were exactly the same, the difference was in the cork, the color of the cork was different, when he was in the tent just now, he could still tell which bottle of medicine was for, but when it came out, I forgot.

Li Ke thought to himself: "Is it the poison in the red plug bottle or the green plug bottle? How could I have forgotten it!" Thinking hard, he thought it was the red plug. "

He didn't pour the medicine into the jug, because he was afraid that after Li Zhi's accident, someone else would test the wine and find out that the wine was poisonous, which would be a big trouble!He held the red-stoppered medicine bottle in his hand, and looked at the officials around him. He saw that none of the officials were looking at him. Although the bonfire was bright, he was a little far away, and there were dark places around him. One side of his body, so that no one will see him when he administers the medicine.

But how can you put the medicine into the wine?
After thinking for a while, he suddenly came up with an idea. He wiped the powder into the wine glass by himself. No matter how careful Li Zhi was, he would only be careful with the wine in the wine pot, not the glass.

Li Ke put a wine glass in front of him into his sleeve, poured out a little of the medicine powder, finished his work in the sleeve, and smeared the medicine powder into the cup.

He also thought that Li Zhi may not be able to drink when others persuade him to drink. He doesn't need to give face to anyone. Only when he persuades him to drink, Li Zhi must drink. Otherwise, everyone will find out if their relationship is not good. up.I poured wine from a wine jug, two glasses of wine, the one I handed him, he might not drink it, but would drink mine instead.Yes, I kept the poisoned wine for myself and gave him the non-poisoned one, and then he asked for a change...that's what he asked for!
Li Ke put the wine glass back on the tray, waiting for Li Zhi to arrive.

After a while, Li Zhi came, with loose hair and casual clothes in a Hu suit, looking very casual, followed by Shi Aiguo.

As soon as the prince arrived, there was a lot of noise around the bonfire, and everyone greeted the prince.Li Ke also got up hypocritically, and said: "His Royal Highness, we brothers have been traveling together for many days, but we haven't met each other, but we are a little unfamiliar. Come, I will toast you a toast!"

As he spoke, he picked up the jug, poured two glasses of wine, held the non-poisonous one in his left hand, and offered it to Li Zhi, while he held the poisonous one in his right hand, and approached him.

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed, Li Ke said it quite bluntly, if he didn't accept his toast, it would be tantamount to proclaiming in public that the relationship between his brothers is not good, this kind of thing can't be done.But when it comes to drinking, my uncle has solemnly told me not to drink the wine Li Ke sent to avoid accidents.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Ke smiled and said: "Why, the prince is afraid that this wine is poisonous? This is the wine poured out of a flagon! No matter, then you drink my glass!" As he said, he poured the poisoned wine Handed over.

Li Zhi was even more embarrassed. He hurriedly said, "It's impossible to trust the third brother. The third brother's joke is so boring." The cup is not poisonous and snatched it!

Li Ke suddenly became stupid!
