Chapter 14 Oscar-winning actor
Cui Dunli was lying in dozens of carriages, and Wang Junkuo reluctantly said goodbye.
"Master Cui, it's really not good to recuperate, heal your injuries before leaving?" Wang Junkuo has been lonely and poor since childhood, making a living by selling horses, walking the world, and is the best at changing faces, often playing with people with words and expressions.
In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Junkuo's ambition exploded, intending to persuade his uncle to occupy all the family wealth and become king. However, his uncle was cowardly, so Wang Junkuo left evidence that his uncle had committed adultery with his neighbor and tricked his uncle into killing his neighbor, so that he forced his uncle to fall into the grass with him.
After Wang Junkuo fell into the grass, he did not show the heroism of his king sword, but vividly embodied his two sides and three swords. When fighting against Ding Rong of Hedong County, seeing that Ding Rong was powerful, he pretended to be willing to surrender, and said that Ding Rong was careless, and launched a surprise attack to break Ding Rong.
After killing Ding Rong, Wang Junkuo's power increased a lot, and he attacked Yuxiang with Wei Bao, Deng Bao and others, and met Song Laosheng, a general of the Sui Dynasty, and let him be defeated. Wang Junkuo was forced to retreat to Fangshan, and when he ran out of ammunition and food, he deceived Song Laosheng and talked with him across the stream, praying for pleading. With an Oscar-like performance, Wang Junkuo said that Song Laosheng was moved by compassion, and thus escaped and continued to do evil.
Later, Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui and sent people to recruit Wang Junkuo, Wei Bao, and Deng Bao. Wei Bao and Deng Bao have always agreed to surrender to Li Yuan and lobbied Wang Junkuo to join Li Yuan. Wang Junkuo promised well on the surface, and when the two prepared all their belongings to wait for Wang Junkuo, Wang Junkuo sent troops to loot their belongings, and then defected to Li Mi. A year passed. switched to Li Yuan again.
Wang Junkuo is such a character, but it is undeniable that no matter how much Wang Junkuo has a criminal record, he can mix very well in any environment. The key is that Wang Junkuo, the name of Wang Dadao, is indeed worthy of its name. has the strength of a first-class tiger general, followed by Wang Junkuo is too good at being a man, too good at acting, and acting like anything, so that people forget his previous convictions. thought that he would change his past mistakes and be loyal.
But it's like a wolf traveling thousands of miles to eat meat, and a dog traveling thousands of miles to eat. Don't expect the wolf to know how to repay the favor, let alone the dog not to eat.
Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, treats Wang Junkuo very well and obeys his wishes in everything. And he didn't care about Wang Junkuo's birth, and married his baby daughter to the lord of the Tang Dynasty. But Wang Junkuo is cold by nature, but he only has interests and only future in his eyes, and he only looks at interests and only looks at his own future. Kindness or anything is nonsense in his eyes. There is nothing worth caring about.
Wang Junkuo is very ruthless. But he is also very powerful and far-sighted, although he doesn't read much, his talent in intrigue is extraordinary.
He has served under Li Shimin for many years and has a certain understanding of people like Li Shimin. Li Shimin is a doer, not Li Yuan. Li Yuan is not as generous as Li Shimin, and he is not as bold as Li Shimin in employing people. Although Li Yuan is also a character, most of the marching commanders he appointed and dismissed were Li clan relatives or his most important confidants such as Pei Lian.
So even if Li Yuan's talent is extremely mediocre, he still has a place in Li Yuan's hands. As the commander of the frontier, Mao defended one side.
But as soon as Li Shimin came to power. With his courageous means, it is impossible to let the mediocre guard the frontier. He disdains to deal with such a small role as Li Ying with a personal vendetta, but he will definitely arrange a more competent and capable person to replace Li Jin.
Once this Li Ying was removed by Li Shimin, did he, Li Ming's son-in-law, still have a little status in Youzhou?
Wang Junkuo saw through this very rationally, and realized with foresight that he would not have a good future with Li Jin, and he had to find another way out. But he is a military general, and a military general can only reflect his value on the battlefield and get the opportunity to be promoted. The Tang Dynasty has produced many famous generals, and fierce generals abound. Although Wang Dadao is good, in the face of talents in this period, there are no more, and no less than one. Because he had a bad relationship with Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Biting Jin, he was already on the verge of being forgotten, and he had nothing to do.
In this case, Wang Junkuo looked at Li Jin, who had delusion, and thought of a solution.
There is no opportunity, there is no opportunity, there is no military exploit, there is no meritorious service.
Li Shimin is about to become the emperor under one person and above ten thousand people, if Li Ying rebels at this time, it will be like a slap in the face of Li Shimin, and he will launch a provocation against his newly acquired imperial power.
Li Shimin has a resolute personality and will never condone this incident.
Wang Junkuo used his acting talent, took advantage of Li Jin's trust in him, and took advantage of the good relationship with Li Shimin before, and began to design the layout little by little. Let Li Shimin know that Li Ying may have opposing intentions, and then let Li Ying think that Li Shimin wants to kill him as an example and force Li Ying to rebel. played a clever hand of Infernal Affairs, and turned himself into a hero who calmed the chaos.
Rebellion, Wang Junkuo is very self-aware, he knows that he can't say that he is Li Shimin, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, even if the next few people are Luo Shixin, Li Shiji, and Li Daozong, they are enough to clean him up. From the very beginning, Wang Junkuo's plan was to trample his father-in-law under his feet and stand on his corpse to invite Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an and completely unknown to the situation in the Northeast.
In fact, according to Wang Junkuo's original plan, Li Ying made a fuss, first made a vigorous scene, and then he made a brilliant appearance, so that his credit would be greater. It's just that Li Ying listened to Wang Lishe's decision and gave half of the military power to Wang Xu, so he had to change his mind, lest he fail to be a hero and really become a thief.
Cui Dunli was seriously injured, with a fine needle inserted in his finger, six pieces of skin and flesh on his body were scalded, and he was also subjected to more than 30 whips that had been soaked in salt water for many years.
Rao is like this, Cui Dunli still did not confide a word, he has the iron backbone of a literati.
It's just that a gentleman can be bullied, and there is no one more than him.
Cui Dunli endured many severe pains on his body, and said to Wang Junkuo: "It's okay, although Li Ying was subdued, he has been deployed in Youzhou for many years, and the rest of the party is still there." If they don't get rid of it, they will be a scourge after all. I must rush to Chang'an and make a statement to the sage and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that they can reappoint the governor of Youzhou and a number of important positions to clear the remnants of the party. There is also the ability to quell Li Ming's rebellion without bloodshed, General Wang has made great contributions, and I will truthfully show General Wang's merits. ”
Wang Junkuo said: "No matter what merits I have, it is all the help of the generals that can save me from the military disaster." Alas! This Li Ying treated me well, but I had to kill him with my own hands...... I also ask Master Cui to go back and tell the saint to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping that they can allow me to collect the body and bury Li Ying in order to repay the great kindness. As he spoke, tears fell uncontrollably.
Cui Dunli sighed: "Those who are loyal and filial like generals are rare in ancient times. General rest assured, I will truthfully show upwards and say goodbye! ”
Watching the carriage gradually move away, a sneer hung on the corner of Wang Junkuo's mouth: So this nerd will say all the good things for me!
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has experienced many wars, and it is not an easy thing to get to this day step by step in the flames of troubled times.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty set the Central Plains and broke the Turks in the north, causing all ethnic groups in the north to submit, respecting the Tang Dynasty as the Heavenly Khan, and ordering the grassland tribes, the entire dynasty flourished at a visible speed at a critical time, and suddenly broke out in the case of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, who conspired against him, in this situation, which immediately caused a sensation and triggered discussions everywhere.
Almost everyone was rejoicing, and they were all saying good things about Wang Junkuo.
If it weren't for Wang Junkuo standing up at a critical time, if it weren't for Wang Junkuo turning the tide and killing the traitor Wang Shu with the strength of one person, regardless of the danger of his life, to persuade the generals of Youzhou, rescue the court envoys, and kill the thief leader, there would be another war disaster.
Cui Dunli was a cadre who was seriously injured, but he still did not forget his mission, and came to Chang'an with his sick and injured body to meet Li Shimin, the prince of the prison state.
After Li Shimin learned about a qiē from Cui Dunli's mouth, in the face of Wang Junkuo's miraculous achievements, he personally issued a commendation: Wang Junkuo was appointed as the general of the left leading army, and the governor of Youzhou, and he was crowned Zuo Guanglu doctor, and 1,300 households were sealed.
With the self-directed and self-acted rebellion case, Wang Junkuo became a Li Tang general whose status was second only to Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji.
Regarding Wang Junkuo's reward, everyone had no objections. Under Cui Dunli's narration, Wang Junkuo has become a hero who is loyal and filial, wise and brave, and turns the tide in the crisis.
Luo Shixin has not only heard of Wang Junkuo's actions once, although he has a little doubt about Wang Junkuo's deeds, especially after inexplicably picking up Mrs. Wei's "Famous Ji Post", he is particularly sensitive to Wang Junkuo's affairs: he found an expert afterwards to identify: the "Famous Ji Post" is really genuine, and it is indeed the ink treasure left by Mrs. Wei.
In the calligraphy world, Mrs. Wei is the only woman who is on a par with Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and others, and her calligraphy has a unique charm of women, even if it is a famous calligrapher like Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, there is no such charm. "Famous Ji Post" is another proud work of Mrs. Wei, which can be called a priceless treasure.
Such an important thing is used to give away, and the thing asked for must be not small.
However, Luo Shixin has no evidence, and he can't talk nonsense based on his feelings and preferences, so he can only bury his doubts in his heart.
After this morning, Luo Shixin was suddenly summoned by Li Shimin.
When I came to the council hall of the prince's mansion, I saw that there were already two people in the hall.
The two of them knew each other, and they had intersections, and they had frequent contact when they were in administration, and their relationship was ...... Not friendly.
"I want you to come today to rebel against King Lujiang!" Li Shimin saw that Luo Shixin had arrived, and said resolutely: "King Lujiang died in a hurry, and his remnants have not yet been investigated. The traitors who have been caught are on their way to be escorted, and your three envoys are ready to take over the rebellion, and they will be interrogated together to see if they can find out if they can find out who has slipped through the net. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm working overtime today, but it's Sunday, and I'm back early, so I'll be even more able to write it out. I don't hide it, and I don't have a face to hide.
