First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 117 Chu Suiliang's Voting Certificate

...

Chu Suiliang looked sure to win, seeing his father worried, he waved his hands and said: "Aye, don't worry, Li Ziwei has no military power now, but his prestige is still there, and he transports luggage every day. Bijiu's department is still fighting fiercely, as long as I make a little provocation, things will surely happen."

Hearing this, Chu Liang suddenly felt dizzy and worried, but he couldn't refute it. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only sigh: "My son is more resourceful than a father. Now that you have made up your mind, let it go!" Shi Wei, it's just that you don't want to attack and kill Xue Ju, Xue Ju's [-] elite are no small matter."

Chu Suiliang shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Aye, how could I be so reckless? Part of the reason why Li Shimin hesitated to patrol was because he was worried that Xue Ju would jump over the wall and slaughter the city, which would ruin his reputation. The more important reason was that these [-] elites, if To annihilate these [-] elites, the Tang army must suffer heavy casualties, and Li Shimin cannot afford this loss."

Seeing that Chu Suiliang was very thoughtful, Chu Liang didn't say much anymore, feeling a little drunk, he turned and went back to his room.

In the temporary post house, Tang Jian was not drunk, closed the doors and windows, and said with an excited face: "You and I should have made two major contributions to this trip."

Li Anyuan on the opposite side was very puzzled when he heard the words, Tang Jian said straightly: "The success of the negotiation is the first, and the instigating against Chu Liang is the second."

"Chu Liang will vote for the King of Tang?" Li Anyuan also asked in surprise. After all, Chu Liang was an important figure in the Western Qin civil service, with a high position and great influence.

"Chu Liang is good at literature and has a gentle temper. He may not dare to oppose Xue Ju, but his son Chu Suiliang is by no means a simple person. With Chu Suiliang around, I am not afraid that Chu Liang will not understand the situation. Today I have shown my tone and tried, and Chu Suiliang There is no intention of conflict, and I expect him to make some moves." Tang Jian looked excited and felt very happy.

Li Anyuan was also very happy when he heard the words. If he could instigate Chu Liang, he would definitely be the deputy envoy. He immediately asked, "What should I do now?"

Tang Jian shook his head, "You don't need to do anything, just promote the negotiation. Then Chu Suiliang is a smart person, and he must know the importance."

Li Anyuan had a smile on his face when he heard this, and he didn't need to do anything. The credit he picked up was really comforting. Seeing that King Tang is about to ascend the throne, if he accumulates more meritorious service, then he will have more qualifications. No one can refuse this point. The same is true for Tang Jian, who is open-minded and straightforward.

At the same time, a fierce quarrel broke out in the West Qin Palace, that is, in the Liyuan County Yali.

Xue Ju was furious, and the wine and meat on the desk were spilled everywhere, "Too much bullying, too much bullying, Li Er, do you think it's bad for me to have a horse in my hand?"

Hao Yuan on the side was expressionless. He should have expected this scene a long time ago. It would be strange if he learned that Li Shimin didn't get angry after he opened his mouth like a lion with Xue Ju's temper.

Xue Rengao gritted his teeth, panted heavily, and crushed the wine glass in his hand with a loud bang, "Aye, I'm going to attack the camp tonight, and I will definitely kill Li Erxiao'er without leaving any behind."

Xue Ju raised his white eyebrows when he heard the words, but was actually a little moved.

"The Tang army is no less than [-], and the camp is strong, and the deer camps are densely covered, how to attack the camp," Hao Yuan said lightly.

Hearing this, Xue Rengao's menacing momentum faltered, and he remembered the fact that he was attacked outside Yongxian County, because he didn't set up camps or deer villages, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

"After Tang Jian left the palace, he went straight to Chu Ximing's mansion. Maybe he could call Chu Ximing to ask what happened and see if he had any ideas."

After hesitating for a long time, Hao Yuan finally said.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xue Ju raised his eyebrows, "Did you meet Chu Liang in private?"

"It must be that Chu Liang has a second heart and wants to vote for Li Yuan," Xue Rengao was furious, "I'm going to tie him up now."

"Wait a minute".

"Slow down".

Hao Yuan and Xue Ju spoke together.

"Gao'er, don't be reckless. Now that the morale of the army is unstable, don't use excessive methods," Xue Ju said after some consideration.

Hao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Chu Liang is weak by nature, and he would never dare to betray. If he wronged a loyal minister, wouldn't it be reconciled to him."

"Loyal minister...", Xue Ju was noncommittal, and immediately ordered someone to summon Chu Liang.

Poor Chu Liang, nearly [-] years old, fell asleep after drinking with Tang Jian, but was summoned by Xue Ju. Seeing this, Chu Suiliang hurriedly fetched a basin of cold water to refresh Chu Liang, "Aye, remember, if Xue Ju When I asked Tang Jian if he had tried to persuade him to surrender, you simply said yes, and you must remember that it cannot be denied."

Hearing this, Chu Liang was startled, and immediately sobered up, "This...why is this? If we are to be honest, Xue Ju is cruel, wouldn't he seek...death".

Chu Suiliang was very anxious, and said to Chu Liang very seriously: "Aye Lord, everyone knows that it would be strange if Tang Jian didn't persuade you to surrender here. Remember not to lie, remember to remember."

Chu Liang went in a daze.

Chu Suiliang thought for a long time, got up awkwardly, and ordered his cronies, "Take the box of gold and silver beside my bed, and come out with me." He didn't ride a horse either, and went straight to the camp in the south of the city.

"Did Tang Jian persuade you to surrender?"

As soon as Chu Liang came, Xue Ju got up, walked straight to Chu Liang, stared at Chu Liang with bloodthirsty eyes and asked, without giving Chu Liang a chance to breathe.

Hao Yuan couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard this, and looked at his former friend quite nervously.

Chu Liang was a little dizzy by the immediate questioning, and in a panic, he burped, and hurriedly apologized: "I am guilty. Tang Jian did persuade me to surrender to Tang, but I dare not agree."

"Then how do you answer?"

"I was demoted to Xihai in the ninth year of Daye. I was destitute. Fortunately, Brother Hao helped me. After that, I recommended my minister to His Majesty and stole a high position. I only feel grateful in my heart. How dare I have the heart to turn my back?" To be honest, Chu Liang is I was really frightened by Xue Ju, he is an elegant literati, but Xue Ju is a murderer, if he doesn't agree with each other, he will take his heart out, how can Chu Liang not be afraid.

Hearing this, Hao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and his gaze towards Chu Liang eased.

Xue Ju was silent for a long time when he heard the words, then he looked up to the sky and laughed, and patted Chu Liang on the shoulder, "I knew that Ximing would not let me down. Geng Geng", after he finished speaking, he ordered, "Pass down the decree, and enfeoff Chu Shilang as the Duke of Henan County, with [-] households in the city."

Chu Liang is a native of Henan County, and it is normal to be enshrined because of his native place, but this food city is undoubtedly non-existent. After all, Wang Shichong and Li Mi are fighting fiercely in Henan County at this time.

Chu Liang was stunned for a while, busy paying respects and thanking him, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.
