After listening to Luo Shixin's narration, Li Jiancheng sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being a loyal minister who stands out for the palace, but in terms of this national integrity, it is much more noble than those traitors in later generations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shixin! You said that those two people just now are your eldest brother's two wives and brothers, what's the matter? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiyu, after my eldest brother returned to Hebei, presided over by the old general Xue Shixiong, and married the eldest lady of the Xue family to my eldest brother, and then the old general Xue Shixiong was seriously ill, in front of the sickbed, the old general Xue Shixiong found my eldest brother and the generals in the army, hoping that my eldest brother would take over, my eldest brother has been refusing, the old general Xue Shixiong just refused, forced the generals to swear, obey the eldest brother, and handed over the seal letter and the order flag and token in the army to my eldest brother."

"Oh! That's it! ”

"In addition, the eldest brother sent me here this time to ask Li Tang for instructions, our Youzhou is willing to submit to Li Tang, and ask Li Tang to accept us." After Li Jiancheng listened to Luo Shixin's words, he asked Luo Shixin to rest. After Luo Shixin left, Li Jiancheng found Xu Jingzong and Wei Zheng:

"Jingzong, do we have a secret stake in Youzhou?"

"Your Highness, there is! Through the relationship between the Zhang family in Wuzhong, we have already placed a dark pile in the area of Youzhou, is there anything His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to know? ”

"Immediately mobilize the information of Luo Yi and Xue Shixiong and several sons of the Xue family, what is the relationship between them? The more detailed, the better! Also, send a lot of people to monitor the three of them, so as to prevent others from paying attention to the three of them. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, Bechen understands! Bechen went to do it immediately. Xu Jingzong left immediately. Li Jiancheng came to Wei Zheng:

"Xuancheng! You also saw it today, that Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche seem to be talented, but this palace doesn't seem to be very convinced by them, do you think if this palace wants to recruit them, do you think it might be successful? Li Jiancheng asked Wei Zheng:

"Your Highness, Beichen wants to know the details of the Xue family's sons first, as well as the relationship with Luo Yi." Li Jiancheng appreciated Wei Zheng's caution very much. Nodding. Soon, Xu Jingzong returned:

"Your Highness, the information of Xue Shixiong, his sons, and Luo Yi is here." Li Jiancheng took it and took a look: Luo Yi, a native of Xiangyang, Xiangzhou, his father Luo Rong, served as the general of the Sui Dynasty, brave in attack and good at shooting. In the middle of the great cause, because he followed Xue Shixiong and repeatedly made meritorious military achievements, he became a tiger general. And married Xue Shixiong's only daughter Xue Wanjuan as his wife, who was righteous and faithful, won the support of the generals in the army, when Xue Shixiong was seriously ill, he took over the post of governor of Youzhou, and when Xue Shixiong died, Luo Yi fasted and kept filial piety for three months. Li Jiancheng looked at it and nodded. When turning to the information of Xue Shixiong's sons, Li Jiancheng became even more interested:

Xue Shixiong has a total of five sons and one daughter, Xue Wanjun, the third son of the former Sui famous general Xue Shixiong, Xue Wanche, the fourth son of the former Sui famous general Xue Shixiong, both of them have the courage to be unstoppable, especially Xue Wanche, when Youzhou built the White Pagoda Temple, the host of the White Pagoda Temple once ordered two stone lions weighing more than 400 catties each, but the rope was broken halfway, a stone lion fell halfway, Xue Wanche just passed, picked up the stone lion with his hand, and walked all the way to the gate of the White Pagoda Temple to put down. And he is not panting and his face is not red. Xu Jingzong added:

"Your Royal Highness, according to the secret report, these two people were seriously ill in Xue Shixiong, when they handed over the flag seal letter to Luo Yi, they once expressed their dissatisfaction in person, and later under Xue Shixiong's strong suppression, there was no trouble, and later after Xue Shixiong's death, he also looked for Luo Yi to compete, and was stopped by Xue Shixiong's second son Xue Wanshu and eldest sister Xue Wanjuan, but the martial arts character of these two people is still good, whether it is the harassment of the Turkic Khan or the invasion of Dou Jiande, these two are the first soldiers, Youzhou has not fallen into the hands of the Turks and Dou Jiande at this time, these two people have made a lot of contributions. Moreover, Dou Jiande also secretly sent people to recruit the two of them, and sent them a lot of jewelry and money, but they were all rejected by the two of them. ”

"Hmmm! Not bad. ”

"Your Royal Highness, if in terms of character, the most outstanding should be Xue Wanbei, the youngest son of the Xue family, Xue Shixiong and his three elder brothers often go on expeditions, and the elder sister is a daughter's family, when Xue Shixiong's wife died of illness, it was Xue Wanbei who presided over the house, and built a grass house in front of his mother's spirit, and kept filial piety for three years." Li Jiancheng handed the information to Wei Zheng:

"Xuancheng, you can also take a look." Wei Zheng took the information and looked at it.

"Your Highness, judging from the information, the four sons of the Xue family are all usable talents, and His Highness seems to value Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche the most." Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Xuancheng! It is not the palace that values Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche the most. It's just that this palace is thirsty for talent! Besides, now there are only two people in front of the palace, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, the palace wants to throw bricks and attract jade, recruit the two of them first, and after getting Youzhou, the other two sons of the Xue family, the palace will also be decided. And this palace feels that this time Luo Yi sent these two sons of the Xue family, and judging from Luo Shixin's tone, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche did not agree with Luo Yi's approach, but the situation was pressing, so I wanted Xuan Cheng to think of a way, and this palace was not willing to use force, after all, they are all talents! Wei Zheng smiled:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cherishes talents, and the humble ministers understand. In fact, at the banquet, Beichen also observed it carefully, coupled with the information collected by Lord Xu, Weichen concluded that these two people were arrogant people, and only by suppressing the arrogance of the two of them could they exchange for the loyalty of the two of them. ”

"Yes! It's just a pity that the majestic sea and Kan Ling around the palace are not around, and it is good to leave Wang Xiong Dan at the beginning, just to suppress the arrogance of these two people. so that they can know that there is a heaven outside the sky, and there is a truth outside the people. When Wei Zheng and Xu Jingzong heard this, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, understanding the nickname Seeing Xu Jingzong and Wei Zheng laughing, they asked puzzledly:

"Jingzong, Xuancheng, what are you laughing at?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, why is it limited to the majestic sea and Kan Leng, as well as Wang Xiongtan and others? Isn't that new guard commander next to you, Lord Feng Li, a Guanzhong wrestler? ”

"But is Feng Li alone a little thin?"

"Your Highness, don't you still have General Xue Li?" Li Jiancheng was puzzled.

"Xuancheng! This Xue Li is a general in the army, and you let him compete with Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, is this some? Wei Zheng patted his chest and promised:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen guarantees that when the time comes, General Xue Rengui will not only not have any damage, but will also recruit two fierce generals for His Royal Highness the Prince." Wei Zheng patted his chest and said confidently to Li Jiancheng:

Two days later, Li Jiancheng invited Luo Shixin, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche to the school field of the East Palace of the Prince to watch the drill of the junior guard camp. On the school field, Luo Shixin watched the sound of the young guard camp shaking the sky, constantly changing the formation, Luo Shixin was excited and kept applauding, only Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche ignored the drill of the youth guard camp, especially Xue Wanche, hearing Luo Shixin's applause, he said secretly:

"Humph! Showy but impractical skill! Li Jiancheng had long been paying attention to the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, and when he saw Xue Wanche's mouth shape, he immediately understood what Xue Wanche meant:

"It seems that General Xue Wanche is not convinced!" Xue Wanjun secretly pulled Xue Wanche.

"Fourth brother, you forgot that my sister told us when we came, don't make trouble." laughed in front of Li Jiancheng again:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives your sins! The fourth brother is too young, and he likes to fight bravely, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled when he saw it. Xue Wanche was pulled by Xue Wanjun, and remembered what his sister said to him before leaving:

"Wan Jun, Wan Che, my sister understands that your brother-in-law wants to surrender to Li Tang, and your hearts are very unconvinced, thinking that this Youzhou is the foundation left by your father, so you give it to others, a little unwilling, but you have also seen that now in the Central Plains, the heroes stand side by side, and it is not easy for your brother-in-law to maintain in such a chaotic situation, besides, over the years, we have fought with the Turks and Dou Jiande, and the people and the generals and soldiers under the original command of Daddy have suffered heavy casualties, How many more orphans and widows are added to this Youzhou city every year, don't you remember what your father said when he passed on the position of commander to your brother-in-law? Daddy said that this seal letter and Lingqi token are actually a responsibility, no matter who takes over the position, we must ensure that the people of Youzhou can be blessed and healthy, and Youzhou is the Youzhou of the imperial court after all! ”

"But sister! Is Li Tang really a good choice? They are so far away from us, with Liu Wuzhou and Wang Shichong in between, and they have taken refuge in Li Tang, I am afraid that far water will not quench the thirst of the near! Xue Wanche was still a little reluctant.

"Wan Che, although far water can't quench the thirst of the near, but now Youzhou can protect itself for the time being, besides, with Li Tang's containment, Liu Wuzhou and Wang Shichong will not dare to join forces with Dou Jiande to attack us, besides, Li Jiancheng's name sister has also heard about it, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Fu Gongtuo and Dou Jiande, the salt famine in Guanzhong created by the four separatist forces together can be easily resolved by him, perhaps, Li Jiancheng is really the designated heir valued by Taishang Laojun, if the will of heaven is like this, we can't go against the will of heaven, besides, Your brother-in-law and Luo Shixin have both crossed paths with Li Jiancheng, and once Li Tang rules the world in the future, it can also guarantee the wealth of our Xue family. Thinking of this, Xue Wanche hesitated, Feng Li, who was training the young guards below, had already received Wei Zheng's orders, so he made a provocative statement:

"Since General Xue Wanche thinks that all the exercises under him are flower fists and embroidered legs, why don't you come down and compete with the next one!?" Xue Wanche couldn't be excited, and was about to go down to compete with Feng Li, but Xue Wanjun held Xue Wanche to the death.

"General Feng, the fourth brother is young, besides, this sword has no eyes, forget it!" Li Jiancheng interjected:

"Since General Xue Wanjun is afraid of the sword and has no eyes, why don't we compare it to 'hook'!" (The hook is now the tug-of-war). As soon as he heard that Li Jiancheng had let him and Feng Libi hook up, he immediately became excited.

"Okay, it's better than a hook, I, Xue Wanche, don't believe that you can be stronger than me." As he spoke, he ignored Xue Wanjun's obstruction and jumped off the stage directly. A look of grinding fists and palms. Xue Wanjun had no choice but to shake his head.
