Man Tanghong

Chapter 165 Pleading?

"Yuanji, Wang Junkuo also made an unintentional mistake. Luo Shixin has already ignored it, so why do you hold on to it?"

Li Yuanji had just returned to the place where he was staying, reeking of alcohol, and was about to take a rest, but Li Xiuning followed closely behind, and began to excuse Wang Junkuo as soon as they met.

Li Yuanji rubbed his swollen temples, and smiled at Li Xiuning: "My sister doesn't seem to have any friendship with Wang Junkuo, why do you want to plead for Wang Junkuo?"

Li Xiuning looked embarrassed.

Naturally, she has no friendship with Wang Junkuo, and it can even be said that she has not met a few times.

The reason why she interceded for Wang Junkuo was also entrusted by Li Shimin.

"Did my second brother invite you to come forward?"

Li Yuanji asked with a smile.

Li Xiuning said a little dumbfounded: "You still ask if you know?"

The smile on Li Yuanji's face narrowed slightly, "In this way, Wang Junkuo should have taken refuge in my second brother, otherwise my second brother would not be able to help him so hard."

Wang Junkuo is the general of Youwuwei in the sixteen guards of Chang'an. Although he followed Li Shimin many times to fight, he is Li Yuan's man.

Coupled with the fact that he has done too many dirty things, his reputation is not very good.

Under normal circumstances, Li Shimin would definitely not help him.

Only when he surrenders to Li Shimin, will Li Shimin help him out.

Li Xiuning didn't know what to say, after all, it wasn't a decent thing for her younger brother to poach her father's corner, and it didn't sound good to say it.

The reason why Li Xiuning approached Li Yuanji was Li Shimin's repeated entrustment, and it was difficult for her to refuse.

"Yuanji..."

Li Xiuning spoke with some embarrassment, hoping that Li Yuanji would give Wang Junkuo a break for her sake.

Li Yuanji didn't wait for Li Xiuning to finish speaking, and smiled without hesitation: "Sister, you don't need to persuade me, if Wang Junkuo made a mistake unintentionally, I won't bother with him either.

But he wasn't, he was careless, he was guilty of negligence.

My second brother wanted to recruit him, so he didn't bother with him.

But that doesn't mean I'll let him go. "

Li Xiuning smiled wryly and said, "Isn't Luo Shixin all right? Why are you so aggressive? If you hurt Wang Junkuo, if you don't follow, you will have a bad relationship with Erlang. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to my father."

Li Yuanji put away the smile on his face, looked at Li Xiuning, and said seriously: "Luo Shixin is fine, but almost all of Luo Shixin's trilogy were killed or injured.

Half of the soldiers of the Left Second Military Mansion under my command were also lost in Mingshui City.

Now, their wives, children, and parents are repairing the tombs for their sons, husbands, and fathers outside Luoyang City.

If I let Wang Junkuo go, how can I face their wives, children and parents? "

"But Luo Shixin doesn't care about this anymore. If you feel sorry for the families of the soldiers outside the city, you can ask Wang Junkuo for some compensation."

Li Xiuning said anxiously.

Li Xiuning didn't care about Wang Junkuo's safety either, she simply didn't want Li Yuanji to break up with Li Shimin for a Wang Junkuo, nor did she want Li Yuanji to be punished by Li Yuan for a Wang Junkuo.

Wang Junkuo is a Duke of the state and a general of the Sixteen Guards.

It would be fine if Li Yuanji hurt Wang Junkuo, but if he accidentally killed Wang Junkuo, the generals of the sixteen guards would definitely ask Li Yuan for an explanation.

Li Yuan had to deal with Li Yuanji anyway, and give an explanation to the generals of the sixteen guards.

"Luo Shixin didn't care about this matter because my second brother came forward to speak out, and it was said in front of all civil and military personnel, Luo Shixin had no way to refuse.

But I can.

As for compensation...

What I have is money and land, to support the families of the soldiers who died in battle, and I don't like Wang Junkuo's three melons and two dates. "

Li Yuanji was firm.

Li Xiuning hurriedly said: "Then how do you deal with father's punishment? If the generals of the Sixteenth Guards get into trouble because of this, father will punish you severely no matter how much he loves you."

Li Yuanji stared at Li Xiuning, and said firmly: "If father wants to punish, let father punish. I have made up my mind, so there is no need to persuade sister."

Li Xiuning looked anxious and wanted to speak, but Li Yuanji said again: "If my sister persuades me again, it will easily hurt our sister and brother's affection."

Li Xiuning opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a single word of persuasion, but just let out a long sigh.

"It's getting late, sister, let's go back to rest earlier. If sister has free time tomorrow, she can go to the school grounds in the city to watch the battle."

Li Yuanji saw that Li Xiuning stopped persuading him and had no intention of keeping him, so he immediately issued an order to expel the guest.

Li Xiuning sighed again, said nothing, and left Li Yuanji's place in a hurry.

After Li Xiuning left, Li Yuanji narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling faintly, "For my sister's pleading for you, tomorrow I will hit you with [-]% strength..."

Li Yuanji has to argue with Wang Junkuo.

What Wang Junkuo did in Mingshui City was too much.

Just because of his negligence, nearly two thousand brave people were killed.

Qu Tutong replaced Li Shimin, and only punished him slightly, without any substantial punishment at all.

Li Yuanji felt unhappy if Wang Junkuo was not dealt with.

Especially when I entered the city today, after seeing those old and weak women and children crying secretly, I felt even more unhappy.

If those brave men were defeated and died in battle because they encountered a strong enemy, then Li Yuanji would have nothing to say.

But because of Wang Junkuo's negligence, those brave men had to give up the soldiers and horses led by Li Quhuo in Mingshui City, and died fighting alone, then Li Yuanji had something to say.

In the past, Li Yuanji didn't care about this matter because this big battle happened before.

During the war, internal strife within Datang was not a good thing.

That's why Li Yuanji kept silent.

Now that the war has been settled, Li Yuanji must ask Wang Junkuo to get back the debt.

As for offending Li Shimin and angering Li Yuan, Li Yuanji also had considerations.

Li Yuanji's soldiers and horses have already reached a certain scale, and they cannot be hidden. It will definitely arouse the attention and fear of some people, and some people will even suspect that he has ulterior motives.

Therefore, Li Yuanji had to find someone to show his prestige, and let everyone know that he was not easy to provoke, and don't provoke him. He would be violent if provoked urgently.

He also had to find someone to show his prestige, so that people like Gao Yaxian who have two hearts and Li Sixing who are clearly working in his house but are loyal to others can see that if he wants to deal with someone, he will never care about the other person. Identity, and don't care about the consequences.

……

Just when Li Yuanji was feeling that he had to use [-]% of his strength to 'lightly' hit Wang Junkuo.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others are holding a 'secret meeting' together.

Li Shimin lay sideways on the couch, and said slightly drunk: "Today, I saw the soldiers and horses of Youzhou among the soldiers and horses under Yuan Ji's command.

Tell me, when did Yuan Ji and Li Yi get together?

When he and Li Yi came together, what did he want to do? "

Compared with Li Yuanji's appointment to fight Wang Junkuo in public today, Li Shimin was more concerned about the extra soldiers and horses under Li Yuanji's command, the origin of those soldiers and horses, and the purpose of Li Yuanji's so many soldiers and horses.

Compared with Wang Junkuo, Li Yuanji suddenly has more than 10,000 Youzhou bravery, which is obviously more worthy of attention.

Changsun Wuji and the others look at me, look at me, no one can guess what Li Yuanji is thinking, let alone when Li Yuanji and Li Yi got together, so they dare not speak nonsense.

When Li Shimin was about to frown, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to say under the 'recommendation' of others: "Although I don't know when His Royal Highness Qi Wang came together with Li Yi, I don't know that King Qi What is the purpose of His Highness and Li Yi coming together?

But I know that His Royal Highness King Qi is bringing trouble to himself by coming together with Li Yi at this time. "

When Li Yuan made it clear that he wanted to deal with Du Fuwei, they and Li Yuanji should avoid Du Fuwei, and they should also avoid Li Yi, who is similar to Du Fuwei, so as not to be caught by Du Fuwei. Wei and Li Yi were implicated.

Li Yuanji was asking for trouble if he got together with Li Yi at this time.

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, sighed and said: "You should understand my father's temperament. Even if Yuan Ji and Li Yi get together at this time, at most he will only be scolded by my father, and he will never do it again." There are other punishments."

Changsun Wuji pondered and said: "If Li Yi does anything wrong, even if the sage loves His Royal Highness King Qi, he will inevitably take His Royal Highness Qi's title."

It is a taboo to rebel, especially if a son rebels against Lao Tzu.

If Li Yi rebelled in the name of supporting Li Yuanji, no matter how much Li Yuan loved Li Yuanji, he would lose Li Yuanji's title and lose all of Li Yuanji's official positions.

Li Shimin took a deep look at Changsun Wuji, and said angrily, "Li Yi is not so stupid."

Li Yi knew the generals of the Tang Dynasty quite well.

Li Yi knew exactly what kind of situation he would face after the rebellion.

So until the end of the day, Li Yi can't do anything wrong.

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth, but did not speak.

He actually wanted to say, if Li Yi has done nothing wrong, we can help him.

But considering that Li Shimin's biggest opponent is not Li Yuanji, there is no need to push Li Yuanji and Li Yi to a dead end and give them a dead end.

With the soldiers and horses that Li Yuanji and Li Yi currently have in their hands, if they really want to make trouble, it will cause a lot of trouble.

If they wanted to get rid of Li Yuanji and Li Yi, they would have to pay a huge price.

In that case, it would only be cheaper for Li Jiancheng.

"So... none of you know when Yuan Ji and Li Yi got together? Doesn't any of you know the purpose of Yuan Ji and Li Yi getting together?"

Li Shimin stared at Changsun Wuji and others and questioned them.

"His Royal Highness King Qi and Li Yi don't seem to have many purposes for walking together..."

Someone said something in a low voice.

Li Shimin and others frowned together.

That position seemed to be the only thing worth plotting together by Li Yuanji and Li Yi.
