Man Tanghong

Chapter 166 Can Wang Junkuo hold on?
"No matter what the purpose of His Royal Highness King Qi and Li Yi are, we can only win him over now."

Seeing that everyone was starting to think about the bad side, Yu Zhining hurriedly spoke up.

He must remind everyone that the scoring is clear.

Even if Li Yuanji had some purpose, he was not their biggest opponent. Their biggest opponent was only Li Jiancheng.

Even if they try their best to move Li Yuanji here, it won't do them any good.

Maybe there will be some harm.

For example, Li Yuan may think that Li Shimin is unkind because of Li Shimin's attack on his younger brother, and completely hate Li Shimin.

It would be completely impossible for Li Shimin to obtain the crown prince from Li Yuan in a logical manner.

Changsun Wuji looked at Yu Zhining, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness tried to test him with the position of Governor of Hebei Province, but he refused. This shows that he is unwilling to be drawn by His Highness."

Yu Zhining said without hesitation: "But after he rejected the post of Inspector of the two prefectures of Hebei Province, he asked His Highness for the iron armor. This shows that he is unwilling to fight against His Highness.

Otherwise, he might as well want nothing.

In his capacity, if he really wanted to, wouldn't he still be able to get the iron armor? "

Han Liang nodded approvingly, "The sage intends to support His Highness King Qi, if His Highness asks the sage for iron armor, the sage will definitely open the door for His Highness Qi.

But His Royal Highness Qi Wang did not speak to the saint, but to His Highness.

This shows that His Royal Highness King Qi is not willing to obey the arrangement of the saint, nor is he willing to fight against His Royal Highness. "

Although Han Liang didn't say something clearly, everyone present knew it well.

Li Yuan supported Li Yuanji just to let Li Yuanji check and balance Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji didn't follow Li Yuan's mind, which showed his attitude.

Changsun Wuji stared at Yu Zhining and Han Liang and asked, "Then he was in the main hall of Luoyang Palace just now, regardless of His Highness's agreement, and insisted on making an appointment with Wang Junkuo, how can he explain it?"

Yu Chigong personally verified Li Yuanji's force, and everyone present also had a general understanding of Li Yuanji's force through Yu Chigong's injury.

In addition, those who went to Weize Pass to inquire about the news also reported back about Li Yuanji throwing giant logs at Weize Pass.

Although they didn't witness it with their own eyes, they all knew that with Li Yuanji's current force, he wanted to fight Wang Junkuo unilaterally.

Li Shimin came down to make peace in person, but Li Yuanji didn't show any face.

That means that Li Yuanji is not afraid of making enemies with Li Shimin.

Yu Zhining said with a sullen face: "I don't think His Royal Highness Qi is to blame for this matter. It is Wang Junkuo who has gone too far. His Royal Highness Qi couldn't swallow this breath, so he insisted on finding trouble with Wang Junkuo."

Han Liang agreed: "If it wasn't for Wang Junkuo asking His Highness for protection, I would definitely impeach Wang Junkuo for his mistakes in Mingshui City after his class teacher returns to court."

The rest of the people also nodded.

What Wang Junkuo made in Mingshui City was a low-level mistake.

It's so low-level that people can't bear to look directly at it.

So it's no wonder that others chased after him.

"But even so, His Highness came forward to make peace in person, wouldn't His Highness King Qi even give His Highness this bit of face?"

Changsun Wuji asked loudly.

Yu Zhining said unceremoniously: "Where do you put Luo Shixin's face? Where do you put the face of those soldiers who died in Mingshui City because of Wang Junkuo's fault?"

Changsun Wuji stared, wanting to refute.

I heard Yu Zhining say loudly again: "Luo Shixin was in danger in Mingshui City. We didn't find out in time, and we couldn't save him in time. We didn't help Luo Shixin to denounce the culprit afterwards..."

There are still some words behind, which Yu Zhining didn't say.

But everyone present knew it clearly.

It was because they did not help Luo Shixin to denounce the culprit after the incident, that Luo Shixin was chilled and left Qin Palace.

He failed to rescue him in time, and he could use the excuse of changeable weather to explain.

But if he failed to help Luo Shixin denounce the culprit together, there would be no excuse to explain.

"enough……"

Li Shimin drank in a low voice, Yu Zhining slowly closed his mouth, Changsun Wuji also died down, and did not speak again.

Li Shimin said in a dull voice: "This matter is my fault, and has nothing to do with others. If you want to blame, blame me."

Li Shimin took everything on himself.

In fact, after Qu Tutong replaced Li Yuanji to warn him, he was wrong because he misjudged the weather and failed to send someone to rescue Luo Shixin in time.

But he didn't make any big mistakes in dealing with Wang Junkuo afterwards.

He didn't know about the mistakes Wang Junkuo made in Mingshui City until he accepted Wang Junkuo.

At that time, he was busy dealing with Liu Heita, so he didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

Qu Tutong didn't tell him about Wang Junkuo's handling.

Wang Junkuo ran to the front of the battle alone and said he would follow him.

After he accepted Wang Junkuo, he learned of the mistakes Wang Junkuo made in Mingshui City.

At that time, he was still thinking that after Liu Heita was completely calmed down, he would find an opportunity to make peace with Luo Shixin and Wang Junkuo.

But before he could speak, Luo Shixin became a member of Li Yuanji's residence.

Yu Zhining got up slowly, clasped his fists to Li Shimin and said, "I dare not complain about Your Highness, I just feel that I can't turn against His Highness King Qi just because of Wang Junkuo."

It's also not possible to chill the hearts of all the soldiers because of Wang Junkuo's bad guy.

This was Yu Zhining's heart, and Yu Zhining didn't say it out loud.

Soldiers in the army are used to obeying military laws and regulations, so they fully recognize the principle of rewards for meritorious deeds and punishment for demerits.

For a rotten person like Wang Junkuo, Li Shimin did things against the principles recognized by the soldiers, and the gain outweighed the gain.

Li Shimin heard the deep meaning in Yu Zhining's words, and secretly sighed in his heart.

He also didn't want to chill the hearts of all the soldiers because of that rotten man Wang Junkuo.

But that guy Wang Junkuo is too much of a thief, he joined his sect before he knew what happened in Mingshui City.

He has already accepted the person, and it is impossible to drive him out again.

Moreover, Luo Shixin had already run away with Li Yuanji, even if he killed Wang Junkuo, he would not be able to get Luo Shixin back.

"Since none of you can guess why Yuan Ji and Li Yi came together, you can send someone to check the auxiliary machine."

Li Shimin didn't want to talk deeply about Luo Shixin's issue. Seeing that all the counselors couldn't guess when Li Yuanji and Li Yi got together, he ordered his eldest grandson Wuji to investigate.

After giving instructions to Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin said again: "There is some truth in Zhong Mi's words, before we figure out the purpose of Yuan Ji and Li Yi, we still mainly win over Yuan Ji.

But... Yuanji seems to be reluctant to be drawn in by me. Do you have any good suggestions? "

Han Liang and the others thought about it.

Someone subconsciously said: "Naturally, it's what you like."

The eyes of Li Shimin, Han Liang and others all fell on him.

Do what you like?
Li Yuanji is the best in iron armor now, should we give him more iron armor?
Let him become stronger, so as to threaten Qin Palace?
Seeing this, the person who spoke immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly lowered his head.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Liang slowly said: "Since His Highness Prince Qi is walking with Li Yi, and we don't know their purpose, why don't we wait and see?

After all, there is no need to rush this matter. "

Li Shimin and others nodded silently.

There is really no way to rush things like attracting people.

"Then wait and see first."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

After saying this, Li Shimin sighed again: "I really can't see what Yuan Ji is doing now, as well as Yuan Ji's thoughts."

Yu Zhining and the others nodded approvingly.

Although Li Shimin had said this in front of them before, they still agreed with Li Shimin when he mentioned it again.

At this time, a guard hurried into the hall, saluted Li Shimin silently, and then whispered in Li Shimin's ear.

Li Shimin's face suddenly became ugly.

Seeing this, Yu Zhining and others all looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Just now my elder sister sent someone to send news that she didn't persuade Yuan Ji, and Yuan Ji insisted on fighting Wang Junkuo."

Yu Zhining sighed, and said: "From this point of view, His Royal Highness Qi Wang approached Wang Junkuo, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as wanting to teach Wang Junkuo a lesson."

From Yu Zhining's point of view, Li Xiuning and Li Yuanji seem to have a good friendship.

If Li Yuanji just wanted to teach Wang Junkuo a lesson, Li Xiuning should be able to persuade him.

But now that Li Xiuning didn't persuade him, it meant that Li Yuanji came to Wang Junkuo for another purpose.

"Is he trying to shock people's hearts, or is he trying to use it to gain power?"

Han Liang asked thoughtfully.

If Li Yuanji insisted on taking Wang Junkuo's knife, it would have two purposes.

Yu Zhining said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid there are both."

Han Liang sighed, "Then Wang Junkuo is going to be in trouble..."

If Li Yuanji wanted to intimidate people's hearts and establish a prestige, he would definitely hit hard.

As for why Li Yuanji wanted to frighten people's hearts and use it to establish his prestige, they all had their own guesses.

Li Shimin sighed: "Since we can't be kind, we can only ask Tan Douba and Kai Shan to act at the critical moment."

Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao all had friendship with Li Yuanji.

If they try to stop it, Li Yuanji should stop.

Although Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with Wang Junkuo playing tricks in front of him, he still wanted to protect him.

No matter how you say it, Wang Junkuo is the general of Youwuwei among the sixteen guards, and he is in charge of the palace and forbidden guards.

This identity is very useful.

It can play a big role at critical times.

"I'm afraid that Wang Junkuo will be defeated before Qu Tugong and Yin Gong take action."

Han Liang said with a wry smile.

As strong as Yu Chigong, he is not the enemy of Li Yuanji.

If Wang Junkuo is matched, I am afraid that he will lose even faster.

"Jing De underestimated the enemy, and was caught off guard by His Royal Highness Qi Wang. Wang Junkuo definitely did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he should be able to hold on."

Yu Zhining pondered and said.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
