Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 561
The suspicion of Yang Gongren and others is not groundless.

But Li Zhiyun decided to let Su Lie go.

One, he believed in Su Lie.Both, he also wanted to see if Su Lie would really let Liu Heita go.

If Su Lie's performance is not good, then Su Lie can basically say goodbye to Tang's foreign wars in the future.

Instead of putting doubts in the future, it is better to test Su Lie now.

Of course, Li Zhiyun felt that Su Lie would not do stupid things.

With the emperor's mind determined, the appointment was issued immediately.

Taking Su Lie as the pacification ambassador of Hebei Province, he led an army of [-] troops to Hebei to suppress the rebellion.

Before leaving, Li Zhiyun summoned Su Lie.

"Ding Fang, although there are many ministers in the court who remind me of your relationship with Liu Heitai, I believe you will not let me down."

Su Lie knelt down on one knee and said emotionally: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if you can't take Liu Heita, you will end up in front of the battle, and you will never embarrass Your Majesty."

Following his allegiance to Datang, the brothers who rebelled together in the past have long since cut off contact with him.Even Dou Jiande, the Duke of Leshou in Chang'an, Su Lie rarely interacts with him on weekdays.

The world has already returned to Tang, and he will find himself unhappy only if his brain is broken.What's more, the emperor is not indifferent to him. He has participated in several foreign wars. Because of the battle of destroying the Turks, he has already worked hard to canonize the king.

To be a traitor instead of being a great hero for the founding of the country?
Su Lie is not evil, he knows what he should do.

"I don't want you to die." Li Zhiyun smiled and helped him up.

Su Lie said: "Your Majesty, Liu Heitai's rebellion should be due to his own rebellion. I hope His Majesty will not blame Le Shougong."

"I know." Li Zhiyun said coldly: "Someone in the court persuaded me to kill Dou Jiande, but I am not a fool who listens to slander. If Dou Jiande dies, it will only fuel Liu Heitai's arrogance!"

Hearing this, Su Lie knew that he was following the right lord, and immediately said: "So, please rest assured, Your Majesty, within three months, the general will definitely wipe out the rebellion, and hold Liu Hei to interrogate the culprit."

"Okay, I believe you."

Not to kill Dou Jiande, of course, not because Li Zhiyun is some benevolent person, but because he knows not to kill.

Once Dou Jiande is killed, those old troops in Hebei who followed Dou Jiande will rise up to respond to Liu Heita.

The reason why he wants to use Su Lie is that Su Lie is familiar with Hebei and Liu Heita.The second is that Su Lie is also a general of Dou Jiande's subordinates. If he is to suppress the rebellion, as long as the micro-management is done well, Liu Heitai will soon become a loner.

Of course, the third point, this is also a test for Su Lie.

The mansion of Duke Le Shou.

Dou Jiande has become a big fat man after eating, drinking and waiting to die in Chang'an for the past few years.He originally thought that he would be killed by Emperor Tang sooner or later, but he did not expect that Emperor Tang would really take care of him, which surprised Dou Jiande and moved him a little.

However, the peaceful and peaceful life was finally broken by the news of Liu Heita's rebellion.

"This bastard, he wants to kill me!" Dou Jiande scolded Gao Yaxian cursingly: "You bastard, don't let me catch you, don't let me skin him!"

"Dou Gong, you don't have this chance." Gao Yaxian said: "Your Majesty has appointed Ding Fang as the peace ambassador of Hebei Province. This time, Liu Heita will definitely die!"

"Su Lie?" Dou Jiande was stunned first, then sighed: "Your Majesty, you really don't need to be suspicious of someone. I heard that he is already a Duke?"

"Yes, after the annihilation of the Turks, His Majesty canonized him as Lord of the Kingdom of Xin." Gao Yaxian replied.

Dou Jiande was silent for a while, and said: "Well, let me write a handwritten letter for you. If you go to Hebei to suppress the rebellion this time and meet old people, maybe I can use my old face to give you some help."

Gao Yaxian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Dou."

After getting Dou Jiande's handwritten letter, Gao Yaxian left Le Shougong's mansion soon.This time, he will go to Hebei with Su Lie to suppress the rebellion.

It was Su Lie's idea to ask for handwriting.However, Su Lie is very sensible, he doesn't want others to make irresponsible remarks, so he always keeps a distance from Dou Jiande.

Especially, after His Majesty ascended the throne, Su Lie was even more careful.

He knew very well that once he had too close contacts with Dou Jiande, he would be framed sooner or later.In this case, it is better to completely cut off contact.

What's more, he has already surrendered to the emperor, so naturally he won't be a second or fifth boy.

While the imperial army was rushing to Hebei, Liu Heita was killing people and setting fire everywhere in Hebei.

This time, not only Su Lie went to Hebei with the intention of killing, but Gao Yaxian also had the mentality of killing.

After returning to the Tang Dynasty, although he was not reused by the emperor, he was doing well anyway, eating and drinking, and was very comfortable.

Now, because of Liu Heita's rebellion, someone in the court secretly pointed out that Gao Yaxian and Su Lie were in contact with the rebels in Hebei.

If Liu Heitai is not killed, his official career will be over, and his life may be at stake.

He is different from that idiot Liu Heitai. As a court general, both he and Su Lie are very aware of the emperor's ability, and even more aware of the emperor's fearfulness.

Whoever treats the emperor as a fool will surely die a miserable death in the end.

Hebei, Beizhou, Wucheng.

When bandits cross the border, not a single tile is left behind.

The mansion of a rich family was robbed cleanly, and until the dead of night, there was a slight movement from inside.

"Don't come out, I'll go find something to eat." Cui Hongdao yelled at the wives and daughters in the cellar, and then sneaked out with a cat on his body.

An hour later, he found some uncooked rice from the stove, and quietly went back to the cellar.

Because during the Daye period, bandits in Hebei were rampant, Cui Hongdao ordered people to secretly dig a cellar at home, and once the bandits crossed the border, they would temporarily hide in it.

Unexpectedly, when the world was unified, he would rely on the cellar to save his life again.

"Yeah, I can't see." The daughter yelled at him.

There were no candles in the cellar, and Cui Hongdao did not dare to light candles in order to prevent being discovered.

"Don't be afraid, Zhen'er, Yeye and your mother are here." Cui Hongdao comforted his daughter.

Cui Zhener ate raw rice with difficulty, choked uncomfortably, coughed several times, and Madam Cui covered her mouth before she stopped.

"Ah Lang, there is no way for us to do this." Mrs. Cui said.

Cui Hongdao whispered: "Be patient for now, I have already corresponded with brother Yixuan, he was appointed by His Majesty as Shangshu Zuosi Langzhong, and when the bandits pass, we will set off to Chang'an to join him."

Mrs. Cui said dissatisfied: "I don't understand, why don't we go to Cui Junzhou and the others, aren't they all Qinghe Cui's family, they are still close."

"Of course you don't understand." Cui Hongdao said in a bad mood: "They are not officials in Chang'an, so they go to them and live under the fence. This time I will go to see Brother Yixuan, if I can get an official position, I will have a living by then. Stay in Bay State all the time."

"Chang'an?" Daughter Cui Zhen'er suddenly called out.

"What's the matter, Zhen'er?" The couple were a little surprised.

Cui Zhen'er whispered: "My daughter heard that it is the capital city, and the soap was shipped from Chang'an to Hebei."

"Yes." Cui Hongdao whispered: "You will know when you go later."

At this moment, there was a noise outside, they hurriedly shut up, and huddled together cautiously.

Outside the mansion was a group of lone thieves and bandits. They searched the mansion and found that they had already been robbed by their own people, so they hurried to rob other places.

After those voices gradually disappeared, Cui Hongdao slowly relaxed.

He silently told himself that he must come out in a disguised appearance, otherwise, he would never return to Beizhou.He didn't want to try this kind of life crisis again.
