Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 168 Ready
At the second prince's mansion, at the back of the main hall, Li Ke was hiding behind the screen, watching the conversation between Keti and the second prince.

Sneaking into Nivalo secretly was originally a confidential matter, and it involved Nivara's internal affairs. His entire status as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty was really sensitive, so Li Ke did not show up rashly.

At this moment, Nakti has rushed to the main hall. He is hunched, with an ivory cane on his back, coughing from time to time.

This crippled body is very different from the Niddala appearance in Li Ke's imagination.

After all, this was the first time he had seen this mudra figure.

"The second prince called the old minister, what's the matter?"

Keti was the first to ask the question. Although he had been completely defeated in this political struggle, he still maintained an attitude of neither humble nor overbearing at this moment.

The second prince was a little nervous, he also coughed lightly in Keti's rhythm, and then said: "The Prime Minister has been worrying about the funeral of Brother Wang a few days ago, it's really hard work!"

"Humph!"

Keti frowned, waved his hands and said, "There is no need to say such polite words between you and me! The second prince must be very clear about how the eldest prince died!"

Li Ke was frightened when he heard this. This Keti was really not simple. At this time, he had to deceive the second prince.

He was worried that the second prince, in a moment of impatience, would slip up and spoil the whole plan.

Fortunately, the second prince steadied himself at this time. He sat up straight and said leisurely: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this? To be honest, I am not very sad about the death of Brother Wang. But the death of Brother Wang , it was definitely not the hand of this king!"

Keti closed his eyes slightly, making it difficult for people to see clearly what he was thinking.

After a short pause, Keti said again: "The second prince called me over, didn't he call me to express condolences?"

"Not bad!"

The second prince said: "This king invites the Prime Minister to come over to show the Prime Minister a clear path!"

Keti raised his eyebrows slightly, then opened his eyes and looked at the second prince.

Li Ke hid behind the screen and saw his performance in his eyes. Just now Keti seemed to be excited, but his restraint was excellent, and he quickly covered up the excitement past.

"What does the second prince mean by this? The truth has been in charge of the government for many years, why has it ever gone through a dark road?"

Kitty opened his mouth slowly.

The second prince laughed lightly: "Brother Wang is fierce and domineering, he doesn't know how to do things, so naturally he doesn't have a clear way... This point must have been realized by the Prime Minister."

"The Sri Lankan has gone, it's useless to talk more!"

Keti waved his hand, with an indifferent expression on his face.

He was able to hold his breath, and he could still hold his breath at this time, Li Ke secretly said in his heart.

"Could it be...couldn't it be that the prime minister still doesn't know...this king is already the best candidate for the next throne! How can it be beneficial to fight against this king at this time?"

The second prince was a little anxious, he stood up.

"The truth...is old, maybe it won't be able to wait for the next king..."

Keti coughed lightly and said slowly.

His attitude really seemed that he didn't care about the second prince's solicitation at all.

But Li Ke had already guessed that this Keti's posturing was just trying to win more benefits.

If he really didn't care about the affairs behind him, he wouldn't have married his daughter to that fat man.

"Okay! Then how can you... support me?"

The second prince was a little anxious because of his holding back, and he was about to reveal his bottom.

At this time, Nakti smiled leisurely: "Why is the second prince so anxious to recruit old ministers?"

He frowned slightly, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the second prince again, with surprise in his eyes.

But Keti didn't speak, he just frowned again and thought quietly.

Li Ke saw Keti's reaction clearly from behind the screen, and he was startled. Could it be that Keti saw that the second prince was about to launch a coup?
Although the eldest prince is dead, the king is still there. If Keti really has ulterior motives and reveals the news that the second prince is going to launch a coup in advance, I'm afraid it will miss a big deal.

He could no longer shrink back, so he coughed quickly and stood up.

"Second Prince Enze Nipoluo, naturally he is willing to give the Prime Minister a chance. No matter how obsessed the Prime Minister is, I'm afraid it won't be hard to end well!"

Li Ke stood up and spoke threateningly.

Keti was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"

Li Ke smiled indifferently: "I am a counselor under the command of King Shu of the Great Tang Dynasty. I came to Niboluo to help the second prince complete the silk trade..."

This is what Li Ke discussed with the second prince in advance. If the second prince can't persuade Keti, he will naturally stand up in this capacity.

"Tang people?"

Keti frowned: "When will it be the turn of the Tang people to take charge of the affairs of our country, Niboluo?"

"No! Datang and Nibala have a common enemy, so we naturally have a common topic!"

Li Ke said leisurely: "I heard that the prime minister also opposed Tubo, and I think we are fellow travelers, why don't you stand by the second prince's side and implement this policy to the end?"

Li Ke decided in his heart that this Keti was thoughtful and thoughtful, and he should be able to see the threat of Tubo to Nibala.

He supported Tubo before, but because of the king's attitude, as long as he had a choice, he was naturally willing to resist Tubo.

"Tibet……"

Keti chuckled lightly: "There is turmoil in Tubo, are you afraid that it will be difficult to threaten me, Niboluo?"

Li Ke immediately denied: "How heroic is Songtsan Gampo? Sooner or later he will launch an attack on you Nivala! Do you want to watch Nivala fall into war? If the country does not survive, how can the people be attached?"

This intimidation really calmed Keti, he didn't speak again, but just lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he raised his head again and looked at the second prince: "Your Highness...have you made arrangements?"

The second prince was startled and looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke screamed in his heart, he had already guessed that the second prince was going to launch a coup d'état.

At this time, one must not show timidity, Li Ke immediately stood beside the second prince, and said: "Everything is already ready, just wait for the Prime Minister to stabilize the Chao Gang!"

Keti said leisurely: "What if the truth doesn't agree?"

Li Ke snorted softly: "You are not the only one who decides the court. The second prince is just too kind and doesn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately! If you don't agree, then a few more family members will die, so what's the problem?"

Li Ke went out at this time, in order to say some cruel words and calm down this Keti.

The second prince was not sure about this matter, so he naturally lacked the confidence to speak, which made Keti hesitant.

Keti will only be subdued if he speaks hard and hardens his attitude.

With his intelligence, he can naturally see that the second prince is the future of Nivara.

Keti fell into deep thought, but the second prince looked at Li Ke worriedly, and Li Ke gave him a firm look to make him feel relieved.

Li Ke is confident, this Keti is a smart person, he should know what to do is best for him.

Sure enough, not long after, Keti sighed: "What will the second prince do if he wants to show his true face..."
