Chapter 642 Li Ke’s mind is a little confused. What does this expression of the father mean? (Please subscribe and vote)
The gray-haired elder who spoke suddenly became the focus of the tea shop.
Facing those suspicious and inquiring eyes, he did not feel nervous or uncomfortable for a long time, and continued to drink tea leisurely.
A scholar next to him couldn't help but bow to him. "This elder, is it possible that you have any news that I don't know about you?"
"There are many things you don't know." The elder said with an enigmatic smile.
"For example, many private schools inside and outside Chang'an are teaching the Three Character Classic, but some people are secretly instigating them."
"I even heard that there are still people who are willing to donate books to those private schools, but there must be a condition..."
"The condition is that they must all read and recite the Three Character Classic within a month."
After saying these few words, the old man left the tea shop with an incomprehensible look.
The tea guests who were talking a lot after hearing the news were left behind.
"Could it be that behind those people is the creator of the Three Character Classic?"
"How dare he go to those private schools in such a big way, but why doesn't he dare to show up? Is there something wrong?..."
"Listen to that old gentleman, I'm afraid there's something fishy here..."
Li Ke swayed his horse towards the mansion, holding on to his waist that seemed a little empty, still recalling the gentleness of last night.
When he arrived at Prince Wu's residence, he walked into the house and saw the eunuchs running up to him to salute him.
When he thought about the beautiful young ladies who greeted him the night before, Li Ke hummed and hahaed a few times indifferently and continued to stride forward.
"I was so busy at the bookshop outside the city yesterday that I felt really sleepy. I need to take a nap first. If anything happens, I'll wait until I'm asleep."
After hearing this, all the eunuchs and stewards could only agree in unison, watching this man work heartily and painstakingly all night in the bookstore outside the city.
His Royal Highness the King of Wu, who was so busy that he was covered in the fragrance of makeup and powder, strode forward with his hands on his waist...
When he came to his big soft couch, Li Ke stripped himself naked without hesitation.
Then He Shen threw himself on the couch, and after a short while, he started snoring.
#####
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." A hurried call came closer and closer, so close that it seemed like the breath was blowing on his face.
Li Ke opened his eyes with difficulty, and then his sleepy eyes suddenly widened.
He saw the eunuch who was so anxious that he was sweating and calling him in a low voice, and the hairy-faced guard Zhao Kun standing behind the eunuch.
"General Zhao, why are you here?" Li Ke trembled. He wanted to jump up like a carp, but because he lacked waist strength, he could only struggle to sit up.
"According to your Majesty's instructions, please enter the palace as soon as possible."
Zhao Kun looked at the languid His Highness King Wu, who looked like a frost-beaten eggplant, with the faint smell of powder. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
"I wonder if General Zhao knows what's going on?" After hearing this, Li Ke's heart suddenly became anxious.
"I know a little bit, it should be related to the fact that His Highness King Wu sent people to deal with many private schools in and around Chang'an City."
"..." Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. I knew that, indeed, nothing I did could escape the eyes of my father.
It was right to give in promptly last time, but...Li Ke's suddenly enlightened face slowly began to turn pale in an instant. Damn it!
Doesn't that mean that the news that he went to the "Outside the City Printing House" yesterday and stayed up all night crying and crying would be known to his father?
"Please, Your Highness, please don't delay and follow the general into the palace to see His Majesty as soon as possible."
Seeing Li Ke's ugly look as if he had eaten Xiang, Zhao Kun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then continued to keep a straight face, maintaining the image of a selfless and loyal guard.
Li Ke, who was worried and felt that his life was about to be over, could only follow Zhao Kun in dejection and leave the house directly into the palace.
At this moment, Li Shimin was sitting in the Manna Palace, sipping chrysanthemum tea, yawning and holding on to his somewhat empty waist.
Last night, Li Shimin got up too early, and because of a little insomnia, Li Shimin didn't sleep much in the second half of the night.
I had asked the imperial doctor to prescribe me some supplements before, and I felt okay, but during this time, the feeling of emptiness came again.
However, Li Shimin was a little unconvinced when he thought that his father, who was in his early fifties, could still give birth to a bunch of younger brothers and sisters.
While I was thinking wildly, I finally saw the figures of Zhao Kun and Ke'er appearing at the gate of the palace.
Seeing this kid Ke'er, Li Shimin smiled lightly and waved for him to come over. "No need to be polite, come and sit down."
Li Ke, who had a ghost in his heart, sat upright and respectfully, and assumed a posture of listening attentively.
Li Shimin looked at this kid suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with Li Ke. "I said Ke'er, are you okay?"
"No, no, the baby is fine. He just didn't sleep well last night. Well... he had a bit of insomnia."
When he said this, Li Ke secretly glanced at his father from the corner of his eye.
After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but take another look at Yingguo's son, with a sympathetic expression on his face.
"???" Seeing his father's expression of sigh and emotion, as if he felt the same, Li Ke's mind was a little confused. What did his father's expression mean?
Li Shimin subconsciously supported his waist, pointed with his other hand at the small folds piled in the corner of the desk, which were as thick as a foot high, and gestured towards Li Ke.
"Come, take a look, this is the news that Xiu Yi has collected from all over Chang'an these days..."
Li Ke reached out and took the first portion from it. He only glanced at it a few times, and his face couldn't help but become ugly.
"Father, this is..."
"Also, let's continue reading." Li Shimin ignored Li Ke and picked up a book instead. He admired it with relish and drank tea.
You bunch of bastards, you are secretly causing trouble all day long, which makes me want to wipe your ass at every turn. I have to teach you a lesson to be serious.
Li Ke could only bite the bullet and read through the brochures one after another. These brochures recorded topics discussed in tea shops, wine shops, inns and other places where people gathered in Chang'an City.
And they are all gossip about someone secretly dealing with private schools and using free books as bait to get those private schools to teach the Three Character Classic.
There are various conspiracy theories in it, and some people think that the author of "Three Character Classic" has ulterior motives and other purposes.
Some people think that the Three Character Classic is clearly an evil book, so the author does not dare to show his face.
In short, all kinds of speculations were made in the dust, which made Li Ke's cheeks soaked with sweat and he was speechless.
