Chapter 19: Seeking Justice

Shamelessness is not scary, what is scary is that you have nothing to do with this shameless person.

Recognizing the enemy's plans, protecting the eastern capital, and seizing the granary, these things brought great prestige to the Xingyang Army and Li Xuanba, which was enough for Li Xuanba to dare to have nothing to fear in the court. Moreover, what Li Xuanba said was in line with the laws of the Great Sui, which made it impossible to refute.

Of course, if Li Xuanba doesn't say the last sentence, others will think that he is a loyal and upright minister, but everyone has suffered from it, and you just want them to make up for their mistakes, which inevitably seems to be a bit fooling King Yue.

The face has been lost, Wang Long and the three of them have left one after another on the grounds that they are injured and should not drink, as for how many teapots and bowls they will break when they return to the mansion, it is unknown.

The good feast was dissolved, Li Xuanba looked at the departing courtiers one by one, and kept stuffing food into his mouth, excluding the factor of embarrassment, the taste of food in the palace was indeed much better than the big pot of rice in the barracks.

Li Xuanba offended Wang Long and others, and by the way, he also offended King Yue, and the courtiers only regarded him as not having him in the palace, and glanced in the other direction, three by two, while chatting, he hurried out of the hall. Only before Yuan Wendu left, he went to Li Xuanba to talk for a few words, and secretly gave a thumbs up to show his admiration.

People went to the building before it was empty, King Yue squinted, with a smile, looked at Li Xuanba with great interest, Li Xuanba ate for a while, felt King Yue's gaze, wiped his mouth embarrassedly, got up and prepared to leave, King Yue shook his head and motioned for him to sit down.

"What does Your Highness command? Wechen will never give up. Li Xuanba sat down and arched his hand and said, his attitude was very respectful, so that people couldn't find the slightest fault.

"Although my father did not say it explicitly in the edict, the relationship between you and your aunt is known to the whole world. Now that the eastern capital has temporarily settled down, and Zhongyongwei has made great contributions, my father will marry my aunt to you at any time. King Yue's face was immature, but his speech was extremely old, and he didn't seem to be unhappy at all because of what happened before, and he said very calmly: "Maybe it won't be long." You will become the elder of this king, so this king does not understand, why do you have to embarrass the three generals and give this king a problem? ”

"Wei Chen doesn't understand what His Royal Highness King Yue means." Li Xuanba looked confused, and said strangely: "When did Weichen give His Highness a problem?" ”

"The first time you met the three generals, you didn't have a grudge before, but now in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, humiliating them fiercely, isn't it embarrassing for this king?" King Yue said with a smile: "But." The three of them really deserve this board. ”

"Your Highness thinks too much." Li Xuanba saluted again and replied: "Weichen just wants to seek justice for the soldiers who died in the battle, and for the people of the Eastern Capital." His Royal Highness should understand that if Meng Rang really occupied Houzaimun at that time, and then led the army of Wagang thieves into the city, what would become of the Eastern Capital. ”

Luoyang Waiguo has not had time to repair, and the ruins and broken walls everywhere are shockingly placed there, how can King Yue not know?

"That's all?" King Yue frowned slightly. questioned: "Just to relieve your anger for a while, you offended the three of them at the same time?" It's for you. What are the benefits? ”

"As His Highness said, Weichen was relieved for a while." Li Xuanba replied honestly: "For His Highness, Weichen's actions seem idiotic and unnecessary, but for Weichen, this matter is very meaningful. If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were still useful to the imperial court, Weichen would like His Royal Highness King Yue to kill them with a rod. ”

King Yue's brows furrowed even deeper, staring at Li Xuanba seriously, Li Xuanba had no fear, and calmly faced King Yue's gaze. After a long time. King Yue sighed and said: "When the Wagang thieves invaded the Eastern Capital, you were unmoved in Xingyang, this king thought that you were greedy for life and afraid of death, but now it seems that this king is wrong." ”

"What His Highness said is not wrong, Weichen is indeed afraid of death." Li Xuanba replied with a smile, without the slightest hint of shame.

King Yue smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "You have changed too much, my aunt should be very disappointed when she sees you now, right?" ”

"Afraid of death, it shows that Weichen has a sense of reverence for life, and the princess is reasonable, how can she be disappointed in Weichen because of this?" Li Xuanba bowed his head and replied: "Weichen came to Luoyang with the Xingyang army, and he has left behind the people of Xingyang, if he can no longer protect the residents of Luoyang, then what is the point of Weichen coming to the Eastern Capital?" So Weichen couldn't stand General Wang's actions. ”

"Anyway, what you did today can be regarded as a breath of resentment for this king." King Yue arched his hand and said: "This king is the eastern capital to stay, it is the king's duty to protect the people of Luoyang, every reinforcement is very important to the king, and please be loyal and brave in the future." ”

"Wechen do his best." Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment and returned a salute.

"I will let my aunt supervise Uncle Huang's studies well." King Yue left a sentence and walked out of the main hall, Li Xuanba smirked, ate a few more pieces of meat, and then reluctantly left.

When they learned that Wang Long and others were afraid of the power of the Wagang thieves, they hid in the distance during the war, showing shame and anger, which made Wang Long and others dare not go out for several days.

In the next few days, reinforcements arrived one after another, and when the king of Yue set up a banquet again, he did not invite the ministers in a very low-key manner, Li Xuanba of course understood what the king of Yue meant, and did not take this matter to heart, and went to the country every day to ask the question of the teaching profession, so that those doctors who did not know the truth were full of emotion: Zhongyongwei was in a high position, and he was so studious, it was really rare!

What happened in this month made Li Xuanba's heart very confused, and he went to Guozijian and did not harass Yang Ling, but just looked at her from a distance. Looking at the person he liked, Li Xuanba's heart was easy to calm down.

It is easy to destroy and difficult to build, Luoyang has been attacked by Wagang thieves several times, and it is impossible to restore the original prosperous scene, so I can only look at the devastated Waiguo with a lot of emotion, and then move the grain back to Luocang to Luoyang in silence.

The Wagang thieves lost more than 40,000 troops, and they also needed time to rest, and besides, the reinforcements of the imperial court kept rushing to the eastern capital, and it was not wise to attack Luoyang, so they stayed quietly in Luokou.

Time unconsciously entered August, Wang Shichong, the commander of the crusade against the Wagang thieves, led the Jianghuai army to finally arrive in Luoyang, the king of Yue led a hundred officials to greet outside the city, Li Xuanba, as a member of the three grades, was also honored and unhappy to wait outside the city.

Wang Long and the others stood not far behind Li Xuanba, staring at Li Xuanba's back with unkind eyes, Li Xuanba seemed to feel something, glanced back, showed two rows of neat teeth, and smiled in a friendly manner. Wang Long and the others snorted coldly, their eyes turned away, Li Xuanba pursed his lips and shrugged helplessly.

Soon after, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and 30,000 Jianghuai elites arrived. (To be continued.) )
