Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 853

Xianren Palace.

Li Junxian stood in the hall with his head down uneasy.

The emperor dressed in black looked very serious today. Li Junxian had been ordered to come in for half an hour, but the emperor didn't let him say a word or ask him a word during this half hour.

The emperor lowered his head and looked at the folder in his hand.

a long time.

The emperor finally put down the booklet, raised his head, and looked at him.

"I remember your baby name Wu Niangzi?"

Li Junxian didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, and replied cautiously, "When I was born, there were already four older sisters in my family. Because the midwife was dazzled and mistook it as a girl at birth, she reported to my father that it was a girl. My father called me Wu Niangzi, and the midwife later found out that I was a boy, but I kept calling me by my baby name."

"So that's what happened." The emperor nodded, "When I was a lieutenant in Zhangqiu County, you came to join the army. At that time, some of your group were the most outstanding. You also had Zhang Liang, Guo Xiaoke, and Wang Junkuo. Later, the four of you became my personal guards, and you have also been born and died, and you are loyal."

Li Junxian said casually, "I will always remember the time when I first met Your Majesty. At that time, I had made up my mind to always follow His Majesty. Now, Your Majesty has granted me the post of the Founding Duke of Wulian County and the Pro-Army Captain. I am very grateful."

"Fifth lady, you deserve all of these. In fact, you are no worse than Wang Junkuo in terms of martial arts, and better than him in terms of loyalty. It's just that he has a better chance than you. Back then, he instigated Guo Xuan and took down Fan Yang Beiping. He took the post of Jiedu envoy, and when the country was founded, he was conferred the title of meritorious official of Lingyan Pavilion, and conferred the title of duke of the country."

"Wang Shilang's achievements are higher than mine, so he should be granted the title of Duke."

Luo Cheng sighed.

"After Wang Junkuo transferred himself to be the Jiedu envoy, I handed over the military commander's mansion to you to manage, but now Liu Wuzhou defected to the Turks. I have to say that this is the dereliction of duty of the pro-military commander's mansion. It is also your Li Junxian's dereliction of duty, a major dereliction of duty."

Li Junxian lowered his head.

"Your Majesty asks you to punish me, knowing that I have dereliction of duty and is guilty."

Luo Cheng walked out from behind the case and came to Li Junxian, stroking his back and said, "Liu Wuzhou was a good person in the early days. When he was in Liaoxi, he performed very well. I always remember it, otherwise he would not I will not choose him to take over the three counties of Daibei. But I have to say that power is really a kind of poison sometimes, and he will corrupt a person."

"Liu Wuzhou has changed. As the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and the founding father of the country, he wants to rebel just because I dismissed him from the post of Jiedushi."

"Your Majesty, Liu Wuzhou is no longer the same Liu Wuzhou. Since he killed Wang Rengong, he has always regarded the three counties of Daibei as his territory, and even regarded it as his own independent kingdom. The court has not had time to go deep into Daibei for the past two years. , so he trusted him more, but he failed His Majesty's trust and made a speech in Daibei. The officers of the Yiwu Army were all his confidantes, and the two military envoys Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng also married his younger sister. "

Li Junxian said that in fact, the pro-military Duwei's Mansion also found signs of bad things about replacing Liu Wuzhou in the north, and was also taking some actions, but he didn't expect Liu Wuzhou to be so bold and rebellious.

"Let's not talk about that, it's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, that's out of my control. I didn't come here to hold you accountable. If something happened, the responsibility must be held accountable, but the matter must be resolved. After that, now I hope that you can play the true role of the pro-military captain's mansion."

Liu Wuzhou has turned against him, and Li Yuan, Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou have all voted for the Turks, and they all want to use the power of the Turks to compete with Luo Cheng for hegemony.

So this is no longer just a matter of Liu Wuzhou's betrayal, it is a joint counterattack by the Turks and them.

Luo Cheng originally planned to use Siye and Liu Wuzhou to deal with Xieli's southward movement, but now the situation has deteriorated.

"The battle is about to begin. This is the first crucial battle after the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty. I hope you can rush to Daibei immediately. I want to grasp the information on Monan Daibei. If necessary, you can take all necessary means to Liu Wuzhou, Yuan Junzhang and others were assassinated and beheaded."

Jieli, Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, and Liang Shidu, all of them caused wars to spread across the northern border of the Great Qin Dynasty. This will be a big battle. Luo Cheng must have sufficient information to win this battle.

"The Ministry of War has dispatched capable personnel from the Staff Party Division to the north to inquire about intelligence, Weiwei Temple has also dispatched their secret agents, and even the Privy Council has dispatched special agents from the Secret Service Division."

Luo Cheng reminded Li Junxian, "The pro-military Duwei Division has the most intelligence personnel and is also the strongest. I don't want you to end up not even being able to match the intelligence capabilities of the other three."

Li Junxian gritted his teeth.

Still reported one thing to the emperor.

It was also because the Duwei Mansion of the pro-military army was staring at this matter recently that their energy was delayed and they were unable to grasp the matter of Liu Wuzhou's rebellion in the first place.

"Recently, Wang Shilang of the Ministry of War and King Wei have been getting closer. I also heard that King Wei complained to his subordinates on many occasions that His Majesty failed to grant him the power of hereditary succession. He also said that His Majesty's title was not good It’s worth the money, saying that the Jiedushi is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Especially after His Majesty took over the military power of King Wei last time and asked him to reflect in the mansion, he heard that King Wei complained in the mansion all day long, and Wang Junkuo went to visit King Wei more than once.”

In this case, it is very serious if it comes from the mouth of the pro-military captain.

Especially when there was a former Jiedushi rebellion just now.

"You want to say that the fourth child will betray me and conspire against Wang Junkuo?"

"Your Majesty, I know that the king of Wei has made great contributions to Daqin and His Majesty, but there are indeed many bad signs now. I wanted to know more about the exact situation before reporting it, but under the current situation, I dare not hide it anymore. "

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand to caress Li Junxian's back.

"Fifth lady, you are right. Whether he is plotting rebellion or not, I need to know this."

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Don't make any moves yet, just let me keep watching, especially Wang Junkuo, I want to know if he has any relationship with Liu Wuzhou."

Li Junxian was a little surprised.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is no hard evidence, the emperor is very likely to attack Wang Junkuo first if these words come from the mouth of a pro-army captain.

After all, even the most benevolent king would never allow betrayal.

Li Junxian withdrew.

The young emperor frowned in thought.

Li Junxian said that the fourth child might want to rebel, but Luo Cheng didn't believe it. The fourth child's mouth is stinky and he likes to talk nonsense, but he is not a bad person.As for Wang Junkuo, Luo Chengcheng couldn't tell.When he was dismissed from the post of Fan Yang Jiedu envoy, he knew that Wang Junkuo was very dissatisfied and had great complaints.

Wang Junkuo, my hero in Lingyan Pavilion, is he going to betray me like Liu Wuzhou?
