Chapter 12: The Gentleman and the Villain
Wang Junkuo's expression was extremely realistic, with an attitude of forcing Liangshan and having to rebel, his expression was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was loyal to his "father-in-law".
Wang Junkuo's Li Ying trembled in his heart, this fear reached a certain point, but he didn't seem so scared, and said in a deep voice: "Is this fight too good?" β
"If you can't fight, you have to fight!" Wang Junkuo waved his fist and said: "Now there are only two ways to choose in front of my father-in-law, one is a dead end, just like Han Xin, who deceived him into entering the court and fabricated various charges to give Chang'an death." A way to live with a glimmer of life...... How to choose, it is all up to the father-in-law. The son-in-law is willing to follow his father-in-law, and he will never give ......up."
"Okay, good ......" Li Ying said three good words excitedly, and sighed in his heart, he was like this, and all the heirs of the son were entangled in place for a long time, and said through gritted teeth: "Li Shimin's yellow-mouthed child doesn't remember the affection of the clan, and wants to put me to death." I, Li Jin, also want him to know that it is not so easy to want me to die. β
Wang Junkuo bowed deeply, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in the unknown place under his eyes: "The son-in-law will go to Cui Dunli to inquire about the details first, and the father-in-law should be ready." Earlier, my father-in-law was caught off guard and showed a frightened expression. I'm worried that Cui Dunli will use the topic to play and need to be appeased. As a precaution, it is also necessary to strengthen the protection of the post house to prevent Cui Dunli from escaping or sending news. β
Li Ying was in a hurry and hurriedly said: "The virtuous son-in-law will go quickly, for my father, I will invite Wang Lishe, who is a soldier to join the army, and let him plan for us." β
Wang Junkuo heard Li Ying mention Wang Lishe, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Retreated.
Without any hesitation, Wang Junkuo came to Cui Dunli's residence.
"What does Peng Guogong mean by this, is King Lujiang really anti-willing?"
After the parable was conveyed. According to the usual practice, he lived in the post house, thinking about Li Jin's expression when he learned that he was summoned to Beijing, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he kept an eye on the situation of the post house, and saw that Wang Junkuo personally led the troops to strengthen the defense of the post house, and trapped them almost as if they were under house arrest, and his heart sank.
Faced with Wang Junkuo's single entry. Cui Dunli split his head and covered his face, even if it was a set of questions, with a trace of warm anger in his eyes.
Wang Junkuo looked nervous and pulled Cui Dunli to sit down beside him, holding his index finger in front of his mouth. made a silent movement, looked nervously left and right, and said, "Master Cui, you, it's really not the right time to come." This Li Ying was planning to gather his henchmen to discuss when to start an incident. Didn't the arrival of the lord make Li Ying think that the saint knew his rebellion? You see. When you returned to the post house this time, Li Ying immediately arranged for me to lead my troops to watch the adults, for fear that the adults would spread unfavorable news to him. β
Cui Dunli was shocked and said in a low voice: "Li Ying is so bold, he really dares to rebel?" β
"What's not to dare?" Wang Junkuo said: "Li Ying seems to be timid, but his ambition is great. After serving as the governor of Youzhou, he colluded with foreigners and cultivated cronies. Everything comes. I only discovered this some time ago, and then I realized that Li Ying had been secretly arranging it for many years. Repair books with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is to let the prince have a preparation. Lord Cui came today on the orders of His Highness to verify the situation, right? β
Cui Dunli nodded silently, sat down again, and said solemnly: "So, Li Ying is planning to reverse it in the near future?" β
Wang Junkuo looked out of the house nervously again, and said, "Originally, it would take a while to prepare for the reversal, but it was really not a coincidence that the adults came today. It had already aroused Li Jin's suspicions, and he decided to raise the matter in advance. β
Cui Dunli stood up uneasily again, took two steps back and forth, smashed his palm with his fist, and said hurriedly: "I must do my best to inform the saint and His Royal Highness the Prince." My Tang Dynasty has just experienced the Great War of Exterminating the Turks, and all national policies are based on recuperation. If Li Ying rebelled at this time, Datang would be caught off guard. "The new atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty has unfolded, and a rising dynasty has almost entered the eyes of the world.
What achievements and status can be achieved in this new dynasty depends on personal opportunity and ability level, and the centripetal force is full.
Cui Dunli has already regarded the new Datang as his own country, and even if he sacrifices his own life, he must ensure the safety of the country.
Wang Junkuo said: "I am repairing books with His Royal Highness the Prince, but after all, it is my one-sided words. Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes that the imperial court will not react immediately. Could you please ask Master Cui to personally revise a letter to explain the situation here? I sent it to Chang'an, and the letters between the two of us will definitely be able to make Chang'an do its best to take precautions and minimize the danger. β
"That makes sense!" Cui Dunli did not hesitate, walked quickly to the desk, and when he was in a hurry to grind, he suddenly stopped, sat on the desk, glanced at Wang Junkuo suspiciously, and said, "General Wang, as Li Jin's son-in-law, why does he help me like this?" β
Wang Junkuo was anxious and said angrily: "I have never had any relationship with adults, and it is natural for adults to be suspicious. But my Wang Junkuo is loyal to the saint and His Royal Highness the Prince, and this heart can be expressed by the sun and the moon. Although Li Ying is my father-in-law, I must not be complicit in his rebellion. Even if you die, you must repay the kindness of the saint and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He beat his chest with his right fist and struck the "bang" sound, and his righteous and awe-inspiring expression seemed to be as if Su Wu was reborn, brave and loyal.
Cui Dunli is a gentleman, and a gentleman is known for his moral character, that is, a gentleman is a gentleman who is righteous and a villain is profitable. Cui Dunli has the heart of a gentleman, seeing that Wang Junkuo is so upright, he is at ease in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I misunderstood the general." At the moment, there was no doubt about him, and he directly repaired a letter to write down the situation, sealed it tightly with an envelope, and then sealed it with vermilion lacquer and gold mud, and cautiously stamped a seal on it, and cautiously handed it to Wang Junkuo.
Wang Junkuo stretched out his hand to take it, and cautiously stuffed it into his underwear and hid it against the meat.
Seeing that Wang Junkuo was so cautious, Cui Dunli said even more unsuspectingly: "I have asked the general for all of them." β
Wang Junkuo said: "Don't worry, I will definitely send this letter." Don't worry too much, I will try my best to ensure your safety. β
"No!" Cui Dunli said: "The ancients said: Man is inherently dead, and death is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao. I, Cui Dunli, am worthy of the father of heaven and earth, even if I die, what does it matter? The general doesn't have to worry about me and me, so as not to make Li Ying suspect the general. With the dark chess of the great general, I believe that Li Ying will not be able to jump for long. β
Wang Junkuo is righteous and awe-inspiring, and Cui Dunli is not far behind here.
Wang Junkuo acted cautiously, and then said: "Lest Li Ying suspect, I'll go first, take care!" β
"Take care!" Cui Dunli also replied with the word "two", with a feeling of being sluggish and cold.
Wang Junkuo strode out of the room, and when he walked out of the door, his righteous and awe-inspiring face changed like a trick, and he pursed his lips, his face was full of mockery.
Walking out of the courtyard where Cui Dunli was imprisoned, Wang Junkuo came to the next room, took out Cui Dunli's letter, carefully scraped off the vermilion lacquer gold mud, and scraped it clean repeatedly before taking out the letter to read it. Old guy, if you don't rebel, how can I have a bright future. β
He thought about letting his henchmen write a copy of the letter according to the contents of the letter, put the written letter into an envelope, and strode towards the palace of King Lujiang.
At this moment, Li Ying was in doubt.
Bing Cao joined the army, Wang Lishe was analyzing the pros and cons of gains and losses, and dissuaded Li Ying from doing stupid things.
Wang Lishe is Li Ming's henchman who pulled it up, and Li Ying is talentless and cowardly. This man of insight has no reason to serve under his command, and there has been no talent available. Wang Lishe was born in a poor family, read poetry and books, and was quite wise, but five years ago because of his poor family, he had to sell himself to bury his father. Li Jin, who has always ignored the life and death of the people, was in a happy mood that day because she hugged Li Jiancheng's thigh, and she was moved by compassion and helped Wang Li bury his father.
Wang Lishe therefore threw himself under Li Jin's command and gave him advice and handled government affairs.
Li Ying has been in Youzhou for many years and can stabilize the situation, Wen relies on Wang Lishe, and Wu relies on Wang Junkuo and Wang Xu.
For Wang Lishe, Li Ying is extremely trusting, and hearing that he is so opposed to rebellion and indecisive, he is in a dilemma.
"Your Royal Highness, although you have tens of thousands of soldiers and generals like Wang Junkuo and Wang Xu, Datang has hundreds of thousands of strong divisions, as well as generals like Li Jing, Luo Shixin, and Li Shiji. How are they opponents? The strength cannot be compared at all, and it is really unwise to act at this time, please think twice. β
Li Yunuo said: "I also know that it is difficult to be hostile, but what can I do? Li Shimin's yellow-mouthed boy clearly holds a grudge against me, and wants to use me as a chicken and kill me to show the monkey, can he still kill himself? β
Wang Lishe still wanted to speak, but heard the news that Wang Junkuo wanted to see.
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Junkuo didn't look at Wang Lishe, and said, "Father-in-law, it's not good." Just now, I intercepted a secret letter sent by Cui Dunli to Chang'an, which stated that my father-in-law intended to rebel. This Cui Dunli really has bad intentions, he is the ruthless villain of Li Shimin specially sent to blame his father-in-law. β
Li Jin's face turned pale, with a trembling hand, he took the letter handed over, read it word by word, read it out loud, and finally his face was already iron-blue, and before he finished reading it, he was so angry that he crumpled the letter into a paper roll, threw it to the ground, and shouted: "Vertical child, deceive me too much." Virtuous son-in-law, you immediately arrest Cui Dunli, torture him, and find a way to extract some confidential matters from his mouth. Saying that, he took half of the fish talisman from his bosom and said, "From now on, all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou are in charge of you." It's not that I am rebelling, I, Li Jin, will rebel today...... It's not that easy to want me to die. β
This burden has been frightened for many years, but once it broke out, Li Ying's blood surged, he became bold, and his reason was lost.
Wang Lishe's expression changed greatly.
Wang Junkuo's eyes showed a touch of ecstasy, and he took the fish talisman of the transfer of troops in his hand. (To be continued......)
