Zhang Liang rushed to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to suppress the situation before Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials and the army of the Sixteenth Guards to patrol eastward.
Cheng Chubi finally sorted out all his affairs and started packing his bags to return to Chang'an.
Li Ke, who was walking around in the teahouse and slumped in a wheelchair when he left the door, looked at Brother Chu Bi with envy.
"Brother, I really envy you. You have returned to Chang'an again. Little brother, I have to continue to stay in this miserable place. Alas..."
Yes, Zhengjiazhuang is not the prosperous Luoyang City, but a small village on the outskirts of the city. There is nothing here.
As for the Goulan Pavilion, where Li Ke was most happy to hang out, it simply could not exist.
Li Ke, who had been depressed for a long time, naturally envied Cheng Sanlang who could move freely.
"Well, dear brother, I really want you to go back for a walk with me, but I can't.
You and I are in charge of the overall situation of building this palace. If I am not here and you leave, then there will be no one to take charge of the overall situation."
"If there is any trouble, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility."
"What's more, now, the merchants in Bei City have also begun to give in and provide us with various building materials. If we don't hurry up, we will have to wait for more."
While Cheng Chubi was talking, he tied the mace around his waist. This was a weapon that his father had taken from Uncle Qin's house in the middle of the night.
I have always used it very comfortably, and Uncle Qin never asked me for it anyway.
Well, even if he came to ask for it, Cheng Chubi felt that he had to ask his biological father. After all, it was his father who borrowed this thing, not him.
As the saying goes, how can you give something to others when your own father gave it to you? This is certainly not the shamelessness of Cheng Sanlang.
But as a filial son of the Cheng family, Cheng Sanlang would not dare to act recklessly without his father's orders.
After all, this involves the ethics of filial piety and brotherhood, an important matter related to the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and must not be ignored.
"Forget it, since Brother Chu Bi you want to go back, I can only stay here and sit here alone." Li Ke sighed with a helpless expression.
Cheng Chubi raised his head and looked at Li Ke's expression. He couldn't help feeling a little pity for His Highness King Wu who was forced to continue to "recuperate" in Luoyang.
"Otherwise, when I get to Chang'an later, I will go to your house and ask your wife and your second wife to come and take care of you, so as not to..."
"No, no, no, brother Chu Bi, thank you for your kindness. I'm fine staying here alone, little brother."
"Huh?" Cheng Chubi looked at the royal tool man whose expression changed slightly and interrupted him with suspicion.
Li Ke faced Brother Chu Bi's suspicious gaze, his expression looked so serious.
"Brother Chu Bi, think about it, if my two wives come to Luoyang, do you think I can still take charge here?"
"And when they come, there will definitely be a lot of people and it will be easy for them to leak the news that my little brother is pretending to be seriously injured."
"Besides, brother Chu Bi, you'll have to go away for a few months. You won't come back until my sister-in-law has safely given birth to the baby."
"During this period, little brother, I can only support the construction of the palace by myself, so I don't have time to deal with women."
"But if they come over and meet my little brother, I won't have time to accompany them. I might be left behind and complained..."
Listening to Li Ke's well-organized and well-founded reasons, Cheng Chubi had to nod his head and admit that everything this guy said made sense.
But there was one thing. Cheng Chubi always felt that there was something wrong with this kid. After all, this profligate prince always talked the same way, but when it came to doing things, hehe...
Just when Cheng Chubi was muttering, Cheng Jie was already striding over.
"Third Young Master, everything is ready. When should we set off?"
"Well, let's go now. That good brother, I won't go into details. Just be sure you don't let anything slip."
Li Ke patted his chest, then lifted his back and sat down on the wheelchair with a graceful and skillful movement.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu Bi, Li De, please leave me and see Brother Chu Bi off."
Cheng Chubi nodded with satisfaction. At least this guy didn't forget serious matters.
When we came outside the house, at this time, a large convoy of cement transporters was passing by on this widened cement road.
Looking at the trucks of cement, looking at this road that is still so smooth, well, it was not in vain for Li Ke to get into trouble here.
Cheng Chubi turned over and jumped on the horse, saluting Li Ke who was sitting in the wheelchair.
"Okay, dear brother, since you have trouble with your legs and feet, there's no need to send it. I'm just going for my brother. If you have something to do, just ask someone to send you a message."
"Brother, I would like to wish Brother Chubi a safe journey..." Li Ke smiled and held his hands towards Cheng Sanlang while sitting in his wheelchair.
Then I saw Brother Chu Bi leading a group of fat and strong Cheng family members to gallop away on horseback. The hearty and heroic laughter seemed to be lingering over Zhengjiazhuang for a long time.
#####
It wasn't until Brother Bi and the rest of the Cheng family could no longer be seen anywhere that Li Ke let out a breath of relief.
After exhaling all his turbid breath, the whole person who had seemed lazily in the wheelchair suddenly became energetic.
"Your Highness, should we..." Li Min on the side lowered his head impatiently and murmured in a low voice.
The older and more serious Li De couldn't help but glare at his good brother.
"You are so impatient, Your Highness has your own ideas. Come on, if you don't offer me a hand, please carry His Highness back."
Li Ke sat comfortably in the wheelchair, with a smile of freedom on his face. "Don't worry."
"Cheng Sanlang is too smart. Let's take it easy first. Well, let's wait until after dinner before entering the city."
"I have been in Luoyang for several months, and the opportunities to visit Luoyang City are very few. Brother Chu Bi is not here, so I can finally take a good tour of Luoyang City with its beautiful peonies..."
Li Min and Li De, who followed His Highness King Wu to travel around the world, couldn't help but have knowing smiles on their faces.
"What His Highness said is that Luoyang is indeed worth visiting."
The smiles of the three masters and servants all looked quite improper. After pushing His Highness King Wu back to the teahouse unsteadily, the three masters and servants began to eat and drink wildly.
After all, visiting Luoyang City is a very demanding physical activity, especially leg and waist strength.
So if you don’t eat well, how can you have the energy to go shopping?
When the lanterns came on, he had eaten and drank enough, and had already put on a brand new brocade robe. Li Ke decided to take advantage of the beautiful peonies in Luoyang and go to the city to look for and enjoy the flowers.
After arriving at the entrance of the teahouse in a wheelchair, Li Ke was lifted onto the carriage again.
Surrounded by several confidant guards, His Highness the King of Wu, who was praised by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as a heroic figure.
After holding back for several months, I finally embarked on a very serious flower-hunting and flower-appreciating trip to Luoyang. Well, it was a very serious flower-hunting and flower-appreciating trip.
As for whether he wants to do something unseemly after looking for flowers and admiring them, he doesn't want to tell outsiders about it.
