Chapter 662 Harmful to others and harm yourself

The head of the guard said, "Your Majesty, there are many people. If you are all except, it will be a huge case. You must alarm Chang'an. Maybe the Ministry of Justice will send someone to investigate. Lord Changsun might use this as an excuse to cause some trouble. Of course, you don't care about the trouble, but isn't it too troublesome? We have a lot of trouble now."

Li Ke thought about it and said that the guard leader was right. It was indeed not easy to make things too big, but he was afraid that the news would leak out, and he felt a little regretful. He shouldn't let his subordinates know everything, which made him always suspect that others were not strict.

But then he thought again, if he didn't tell the matter, no one would give him any advice. He would not have as caring subordinates as Wang Ping'an, so he could only rely on those trash.

Li Ke asked, "I want to invite the prince to the banquet, I wonder what you can do?"

The head of the guard swallowed his mouth and felt that this was quite difficult. The prince was unwilling to answer the King of Wu at all. He had been away from Beijing for so many days and had never met King of Wu once. He was not like a brother, but a bit like an enemy and never interacted with each other. Of course, it was actually an enemy. The King of Wu was planning to assassinate the prince, but I wonder if the other side of the prince had the same idea.

Seeing that the guard leader was silent, Li Ke waved his hand impatiently, cursed the waste, and said, "Go and see the two Hu people and watch them. If they have any abnormal behavior, report it to me quickly."

The guard leader then breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't make any suggestions, but he could do it. He quickly agreed and escaped from Li Ke's tent like he was escaping his life.

Li Ke sat in the tent, playing with two small medicine bottles in his hands, but he could not think of a good idea and could not get close to Li Zhi.

After a while, the dinner was prepared and brought it to Li Ke. Li Ke had no appetite and didn't want to eat it. At this moment, a servant outside said, "Prince, the Minister of Personnel is asking for a visit."

Li Ke nodded and thought to himself: "Zhengshilang? A small official under the eighth rank, what can I do to find me?" He was upset and said loudly: "I don't see you, what do you want him to talk to his superiors."

The servant responded and said, "I want to invite the prince to the banquet. Today I have brought a lot of wild game. The officials have raised a bonfire and are roasting it. I want to invite the prince to taste it. If the prince doesn't go, the young man will go back to them now."

Li Ke was stunned and went to the banquet and raised a bonfire. I wonder if Li Zhi had invited him. Logically speaking, he should have invited him. He had invited him to me. Naturally, Li Zhi had to be invited first. He said, "Wait, tell them, I will come now."

He put two medicine bottles into his arms and strode out of the tent. He saw a small green robe standing outside the tent, perhaps the conscript who came to invite him.

When the Conqueror saw Li Ke coming out, he nodded and bowed. Li Ke put on a smile and asked, "What prey did you hit today?"

The conscript hurriedly said, "When the prince said, I will kill two swans and a big deer, and the harvest is quite good. Then I asked the prince to move and taste it."

Li Ke smiled and said, "It's nothing strange to hit the deer. That swan is a good thing. Ordinary archers can't shoot that high. Could it be that there are people in our team who are good at shooting?"

The Congshilang smiled and said, "No, it was found in a small lake not far away. He shot it directly, and it didn't take much effort."

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

The Conqueror hurriedly replied: "Of course I have a welcome. His Highness the Crown Prince agreed to go, but the Crown Prince was tired from traveling and had to take a shower before he could arrive. The officials were waiting for him!"

Li Ke nodded again and said, "I don't need to take a shower, and I'm not afraid of being tired." As he said that, he walked to the bonfire far away.

The Conqueror said nothing. It was no secret that the King of Wu and the Prince were in disagreement. He was unwilling to get involved in this. Even if he wanted to get involved, he would help the prince and would not help the King of Wu. So he pretended not to hear anything Li Ke said.

The officials who followed Li Zhi to Qingzhou this time were all selected by the Ministry of Personnel. Although Li Zhi did not get the power to select, because the Ministry of Personnel controlled by Changsun Wuji, at least 70% of the officials selected were loyal to Li Zhi, and the remaining 30% of Li Ke forced 10% to favor him. However, they were all grassroots officials, officials of higher ranks were not in the mood to burn Li Ke's cold stove. The last 20% were not helped by anyone. They were real people and did not participate in factional struggles. Such officials are often the most practical things, so they are indispensable. Even if no one is loyal, they have to use others.

When Li Ke arrived at the bonfire, officials from all over the world stood up and saluted, and asked him to sit in the next seat. The chief wanted to keep it for Li Zhi.

Seeing that the officials close to him were far away from him, Li Ke smiled and said, "We are barbecue game, not a state banquet for Ganlu Hall, why should we rank according to the grade? Come on, everyone find close friends, sit casually, don't be restrained."

Of course, the officials had to agree that the King of Wu "considered" them and allowed them to eat, drink, and have fun. How could they not appreciate it? Even if they didn't want to move the place, they would have to move the place as soon as the King of Wu said it.

The officials who were loyal to Li Ke quickly came over and sat down at Li Ke's lower head. The officials who were not in dealing with Li Ke sat on the other side. The water of the Jingshui River was clearly divided, and the buffer zone was the honest officials who did not help anyone.

After Li Ke sat down, the officials who flattered him gave him a bag of wine, but they didn't send the barbecue. Li Zhi hadn't arrived yet, so no one could eat the first piece of meat first.

Li Ke took the wine bag and thought to himself: "It's not like the Turkic people, everyone takes turns drinking the wine bag? I guess it can't be. Although Li Zhi likes Hu Feng, he doesn't like drinking the wine bag with others."

He smiled and said, "It's OK to have wine to drink. We have to work hard to get on the road. Drinking some wine can relieve fatigue. It's not a marching and fighting. There is no need to ban wine. We don't have that much attention."

The officials were naturally right, waiting for Li Ke to drink, but Li Ke said: "I am very happy to drink a lot of wine and eat meat in large pieces. But although this way of drinking is generous, the prince may not like it. Come and bring wine utensils."

The servants hurriedly brought the wine pot and the wine glass and sent it to Li Ke. Li Ke casually placed the wine utensils in front of him and said, "Everyone, don't worry about me. How you play before I come, and how you play now."

The officials could not really let go, but the King of Wu asked them to have fun. Even if they couldn't get up, they had to pretend to be happy. When the officials spoke, they stopped staring at Li Ke.

Li Ke thought to himself: "I don't know whether this medicine is good or not. I have not finished verifying it, so I came to the banquet. But the opportunity must not be lost, and I will never come again. Now it is a great opportunity. If something happened to Li Zhi, I could just push it to this barbecue and say that he had a bad stomach, so it was bad. I'd better put the medicine quickly!"

He took out the bottle from his arms while others were not paying attention and wanted to take medicine, but as soon as he took it out, he was stunned! It turned out that the two medicine bottles were exactly the same. The difference was that the color of the cork was different. When he was in the tent just now, he could tell which bottle of medicine was used for what, but when he came out, he forgot.

Li Ke thought to himself: "Is it the poison contained in the red medicine jar bottle, or the poison in the green medicine jar bottle? Why did I forget it?" I thought it was the red medicine jar."

He did not pour the medicine into the wine pot, for fear that after Li Zhi had an accident, others would find out that the wine was poisonous. That would be a big trouble! He held the red-stopped medicine bottle in his hand and looked at the officials around him. Seeing that the officials did not look at him, the bonfire was bright, but he was a little far away, and there was darkness around him. Just put one side of his body and no one would see him.

But how can I put the medicine into the wine? This is a technical job. Changsun Wuji must have repeatedly told Li Zhi that he should be careful of his diet. The usual poisoning methods will definitely not work!

After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea and rubbed the powder into the wine glass himself. That's all. No matter how careful Li Zhi was, he would only be careful about the wine in the wine pot and would not care about the cup.

Li Ke put a wine glass in front of him into his sleeve, poured out a little powder, got things done on the sleeve, and applied the powder into the cup.

He thought again, Li Zhi may not be able to drink when others persuade him to drink, and he doesn't have to give anyone any face. Only by persuading him to drink, Li Zhi must drink. Otherwise, their relationship is not good and everyone will find out, although everyone probably has discovered it long ago. I poured out wine from a wine pot, two glasses of wine, and the glass I handed him to him, he may not drink it, but instead drink this glass. With that, I left the poisoned wine for myself, gave him the non-toxic ones, and then he asked to change the wine... That was what he asked for!

Li Ke put the wine glass back on the tray and waited for Li Zhi's arrival.

After a while, Li Zhi came. He was wearing a casual look with his hair loose, looking very casual, followed by Shi Aiguo.

As soon as the prince arrived, there was a noise around the bonfire and they greeted the prince one after another. Li Ke also stood up hypocritically and said, "Your Highness, our brothers have been together for many days, but we haven't met each other, but we are a little unfamiliar. Come on, I'll give you a cup to you!"

As he said that, he picked up the wine pot and poured two glasses of wine. He held the non-toxic one in his left hand and gave it to Li Zhi, while holding the poisonous one in his right hand and approached him.

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed. Li Ke was very rude. If he didn't accept his toast, it would be like he made it clear in public that his brothers had a bad relationship and such a thing could not be done. But if you want to drink, your uncle solemnly told him not to drink the wine sent by Li Ke, so as to avoid accidents.

Seeing him hesitating, Li Ke smiled and said, "Why, the prince is afraid that the wine will be poisonous? This is the wine poured out of a wine pot! Well, then drink my glass!" As he said that, he handed over the poisoned wine.

Li Zhi was even more embarrassed. He hurriedly said, "How could he not trust the third brother? The third brother's joke is boring." In order to show his trust in Li Ke, he did not accept the poisonous wine he handed over, but snatched the previous glass of non-toxic ones!

Li Ke was stunned!
