Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 424
Historically, Ren Gui's selection of officials was quite personal, and his wife Liu Shi was jealous and rude, so Ren Gui never dared to speak loudly to Liu Shi.

After the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin easily manipulated Ren Gui, and he didn't dare to say a word of complaint.

Now, it still is.

Worried is indeed worried, helpless is indeed helpless, he dare not rebel.

Hearing Ren Gui's words, Liu Rengui was worried, but there was nothing he could do. He spoke lightly, and he was just a little ant, how could he compete with the King of Chu.

dormitory.

Xuzhou Biejia Zhang Gongjin carefully served the imperial envoys Li Junxian, Cen Wenwen and others.

Zhang Gongjin once served Wang Shichong, and when Wang Shichong was destroyed in the later Tang Dynasty, Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu surrendered to Ren Gui.Because of his ability to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, Ren Gui kept him by his side and appointed him as Xuzhou Biejia.

He also knew a thing or two about the abolition of the crown prince, and he also knew the identities of Li Junxian and Cen Wenwen in front of him.No matter what their reasons for coming here, Zhang Gongjin did not dare to treat them slowly, after all, they belonged to the King of Chu.

As for the current status of that Chu king, anyone with a brain knows.

"Zhang Biejia, when can I see Director Ren?" Li Junxian asked directly as soon as he sat down.

He came here this time, but with the mission of the king.At present, among the generals in Shence Mansion, he is the only one who is the governor of Yizhou, so he attaches great importance to this task.If it fails, it will definitely affect His Highness's opinion of him.

Now that the big event has been decided, His Highness will ascend the throne sooner or later, and he must work hard all the time to earn a substantial family business and benefit his children and grandchildren.

"Director Ren asked the subordinates to receive General Li first, and he will pay a personal visit afterwards."

"I hope the sooner the better." Li Junxian said.

"Yes." Zhang Gongjin nodded.

Cen Wenwen said: "This time we are here, with the will of the sage, Zhang Biejia might as well go and urge Ren to be the manager. If the time is delayed, we will not be able to explain to the court."

Hearing this, Zhang Gongjin didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "I'll go now, I'll go to the general manager."

After Zhang Gongjin left, Li Junxian looked at Cen Wenwen and said, "Our people have sneaked into Xuzhou. If there is any change in Ren Gui, we can send the news back to Chang'an as soon as possible."

"General Li did his job properly."

"Small matters are all for the sake of His Highness's great cause." Li Junxian said with emotion: "If we can win Xuzhou this time, I hope Mr. Cen will give you more advice in the future. You also know that I am a warrior and have no experience in governing places. Cen Don't hide your secrets, sir."

The civil and military forces of the Shence Mansion are in the same boat, and they all know each other's strengths.Except for one or two free eaters, the others are basically talented.

Li Junxian naturally knew of Cen Wenwen's ability. This time when he came to Xuzhou, His Highness sent Cen Wenwen to assist him, which naturally gave him confidence.

"Definitely." Cen Wenwen said with a smile.

Not long after, Ren Gui came in person.

After Li Junxian read the imperial decree, he handed it over to Ren Gui.

"Congratulations, Chief Manager, this time back to Chang'an, you must be promoted to a noble." Li Junxian said with a smile.

Ren Gui rolled his eyes, are you sure it wasn't murder but a promotion?
He asked: "Dare to ask General Li, does His Highness King Chu have any other explanations?"

"No." Li Junxian said: "His Royal Highness told me to tell you that he will not treat any courtier who is loyal to Datang badly."

Hearing this, Ren Gui thanked her with complicated emotions.

He knew that he had no way out.

The Xuzhou matter was handed over smoothly. Within a few days, Ren Gui packed her luggage and took her family to Chang'an.

Zhang Gongjin stood under the city gate, watching the chariots and horses gradually going away, feeling slightly melancholy.From today onwards, he will serve other superiors, and he doesn't know if the new Xuzhou Chief is a good talker.

On the way, Ren Gui looked at Liu Rengui, "You shouldn't be with me."

"Don't need to say too much, Uncle, this is something I have already decided."

In the carriage next to Ren Gui, a woman lifted the curtain and said, "You are not willing to let you go to Chang'an to enjoy happiness?"

Ren Gui didn't bother to explain to her.

Liu Rengui looked at his aunt and explained, "Uncle is concerned about the safety of Xuzhou."

"A joke." Mrs. Liu said, "Could it be possible that without you, Ren Gui, Xuzhou would not be able to do it. I see you, you are just working hard, and you don't want to go to Chang'an, but you prefer to stay in Xuzhou. You are really stupid."

The more Ren Gui listened, the more annoying she became, and she really wanted to yell at her; only women and villains are hard to raise!
But he dared not.

At this time, Deng Hao, who was far away in Yingzhou, also received an imperial edict of commendation from the imperial court. After reading it, he thanked the envoy and said that he would guard Yingzhou well.

The Xuanzhi official said in a low voice: "Director Deng, don't worry, His Highness said that he doesn't care about the past and only looks at the future."

Hearing this, Deng Hao suddenly understood, clasped his fists and said, "Please tell His Highness the King of Chu, the general will swear allegiance to the death."

"Good to say."

In this world, not all are the kind of people who have no way out.Most people, in fact, live very carefully.There is a chance to live, no one wants to seek death and rebel.

After half a month's trek, Wei Siqi finally arrived in Suizhou and met Wei Yunqi.

"Uncle, long time no see." He greeted Wei Yunqi with a smile.

Wei Yunqi already knew about the prince, so he was wary of this nephew who was loyal to the King of Chu, but also kind of close.

"What are you doing in Suizhou?"

Wei Siqi took out the imperial decree and handed it to Wei Yunqi.

After reading the imperial decree, Wei Yunqi asked directly: "Is the king of Chu going to kill me?"

"Why did uncle say that?" Wei Siqi picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

Wei Yunqi snorted and said, "I'm the prince's man, doesn't the king of Chu want to get rid of it quickly?"

Wei Siqi shook his head and said, "Uncle is wrong."

"Am I wrong?"

"That's right, what does the crown prince's rebellion have to do with uncle?"

Hearing this, Wei Yunqi asked tentatively, "What does King Chu mean?"

Wei Siqi said sternly: "Now the general situation is set, it is not too late for uncle to turn around now, the King of Chu did not intend to kill uncle, otherwise His Highness would not let me come here to recall uncle. Sister Gui is now the side concubine of King Chu, and in the future When the king ascends the throne, she is the imperial concubine. At that time, our Wei family will surely rise again.

Si Qi is well aware of his lack of talent and learning, and if he wants to revitalize Webster, his uncle must always remind him, and he also asks his uncle not to do anything wrong again. "

Wei Yunqi was silent for a while, then asked again: "The king of Chu really didn't intend to kill me?"

"Don't worry, uncle. With my nephew and sister Gui here, my uncle is safe."

Hearing this, Wei Yunqi pursed his lips.

At this moment, Wei Yunqi's cousin Wei Qingjian walked in.

"Brother, I heard that the King of Chu sent someone here."

After finishing speaking, he saw Wei Siqi get up and salute, "I've seen uncle."

"You are Si Qi, why are you here?"

"Nephew is the envoy sent by King Chu." Wei Siqi explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Wei Qingjian's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me honestly, does the King of Chu want to kill us?"

Wei Siqi sighed, and said, "If His Highness the King of Chu wanted to kill you, why would I come here? Could it be that my nephew is that kind of heartless person in the eyes of the two uncles?"

"Then why are you here?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to call his uncle back to court."

"Cheat back to Chang'an and kill us again?" Wei Qingjian said suspiciously.

Wei Siqi was speechless, but still said: "Your Highness has never said that."

"Since he didn't want to kill us, why did he call us back to Chang'an?" Wei Qingjian then asked Wei Siqi.

Speaking of this, Wei Siqi took a deep breath, and said: "Uncles, if you disrespect the edict this time, there will be no way out from now on."
