In the dusk of the river, three small boats quickly approached the fishing boat in front.

"Who?"

The spears surrounded the fishing boats, and the cold light was terrifying.

"It's me."

The man in the fishing boat raised his hands and walked out: "Minister Liu Shirang, please see Your Majesty." ”

Ding Zhi raised the lantern forward, confirmed that it was Liu Shirang, and ordered someone to put away the weapon, "Liu Tingshi will come with me." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is blessed."

Li Yuan was surprised when he saw Wang Kangda and Liu Shirang: "Why are you two together?" Liu Shirang, weren't you arrested by Lu Chongmao? ”

Wang Kangda explained first: "Back to Your Majesty, Princess Jinyang met Liu Tingshi on the way to Xia County, and ordered her subordinates to escort Liu Tingshi back to Chang'an.

"As for other things, let Liu Tingshi tell His Majesty."

Liu Shirang took a step forward and said slowly: "Your Majesty, here's how it ......"

Then, Liu Shirang told Li Yuan the news that Tang Jian learned that Dugu Huaien was going to rebel in prison.

"Dugu Huaien also conspired with Liu Wuzhou to attack Yongfeng Cang, wanting to harm the King of Qin." Liu Shirang took out the evidence from his arms and presented it: "This is Yuan Junbao's confession, please look at it." ”

Li Yuan took the evidence and read it, and his face turned green with anger: "Dugu Huaien...... Good...... What a guts......"

How dare you rebel?

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is Dugu Huaien's military camp ahead, and we can't go any further." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan instructed Yue Yu: "Pass my order and return the same way." ”

Yue Yu immediately went to convey the holy order.

Li Yuan helped Liu Shirang up, and his tone was very moving: "Back then, when Xue Ju was conquered, you did not forget the country after you were captured, and secretly sent your younger brother to report the enemy to the King of Qin, and now you are loyal and unchanging, I am very pleased."

"When I execute Dugu Huai'en, I will reward you."

Liu Shirang's attitude became more and more respectful: "It is the duty of the minister to share worries for His Majesty, not to mention that all this is the credit of Deputy Chief Tang of Tang, and the minister does not dare to take credit." ”

Seeing Liu Shirang's modest attitude, Li Yuan looked at him more and more satisfied: "Tang Jian is meritorious, you are also meritorious, I will reward you for your merits." ”

Li Yuan set his eyes on Wang Kangda again: "And you, there are rewards." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Kangda did not shirk and accepted it gladly.

"Go down first."

After Liu Shirang and Wang Kangda were taken away, Li Yuan sank his face and instructed Xiao Yu: "Pass my will, and order Dugu Huaien to come to see me immediately." ”

......

Dugu Huaien received the order, did not feel that there was anything wrong, and happily went to the west bank of the Yellow River.

But he didn't expect that he would be arrested as soon as he landed on the shore, along with his subordinates and close contacts.

"Let me go, why do you want to arrest me?"

Dugu Huaien struggled all the way to Li Yuan's face, and when he saw Li Yuan's face blushing and his expression of wanting to kill, he chuckled in his heart.

"See...... I've seen Your Majesty. Dugu Huaien lay on the ground, not daring to look at Li Yuan.

"How bold are you? How dare you rebel? Li Yuan slammed the evidence in his hand on him.

Hearing the word "rebellion", Dugu Huaien panicked, and when he saw the evidence on the ground, he fell to the ground with a face like ashes.

Oh no, before he could get into action, he was exposed......

Seeing Dugu Huaien's panicked expression after being exposed, Li Yuan's anger in his heart was even stronger, and he asked him: "You are Lone's cousin, and Lonely treats you well."

"You have suffered defeats several times, but Lone has not demoted your official position or cut your title, Lone treats you so well, but you want to oppose Lone?

"Huh? Is your conscience eaten by dogs? How can you think that way? ”

Li Yuan was furious, pointing at Dugu Huaien and scolding.

Dugu Huaien was originally very afraid, but for some reason, when he heard Li Yuan scolding to the back, he was not afraid, and a force surged in his heart.

He stood up abruptly and said confidently: "Yes, you gave me an official title, but every time I lose a battle, you issue an edict to scold me, making me lose face in front of the world, why should I be grateful to you?"

"Besides, why can't I think that way? You said it, it's my turn to be the next emperor. ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment: "When did I say this?" ”

"Why didn't you say that?" Seeing that Li Yuan wanted to repay the debt, Dugu Huaien reminded him: "After the King of Qin pacified Xue Ju, you were in a good mood and invited me into the palace to drink."

"Then you told me that my aunt's sons have become emperors, and it will be my turn to be the next emperor."

Li Yuan frowned slightly, and finally remembered that there was such a thing, but at that time, he drank some wine and said a joke.

I didn't expect that the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, so that Lonely Huaien had such great ambitions.

Dugu Huaien's grandfather, Dugu Xin, had seven daughters and seven sons, as many sons as daughters, but the sons were incapable, and they all relied on their father and sister to get a half-official position.

Dugu Xin's eldest daughter is the queen of Emperor Yu Wenyu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the fourth daughter is the mother of Li Yuan, posthumously named Empress Yuanzhen, and the seventh daughter is the queen of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian.

The three daughters entered the royal family in Zhou, Sui, and Tang, with three queens and three generations as relatives, which is a scene that has never appeared in history.

Therefore, Dugu Huaien had such great ambitions and wanted to be the emperor.

"My Dugu family can still stand after three dynasties, it is the destiny of heaven to protect my Dugu family, even so, my Dugu family should not only be rich and noble, but also men."

The more he talked about the back, the more crazy Dugu Huaien became, he pointed at Li Yuan and said, "Yes, I just want to turn against you, I want to be the emperor myself."

"Haha......"

Seeing that Dugu Huaien had entered a state of madness, Ding Zhi took a weapon to protect Li Yuan and persuaded: "Your Majesty, be careful, he has gone crazy." ”

Crazy indeed.

Li Yuan sighed in his heart, and waved his hand weakly: "Take him down, behead him, and kill all of his henchmen." ”

......

After executing Dugu Huaien, Li Yuan felt that he was immortal this time, and it was the blessing of the mandate of heaven, and he felt that he was the son of the destiny of heaven, and he was born to be the emperor's life.

Then, the unification of the world is none other than him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan was very happy, and named Liu Shirang as the prince of Hongnong County, rewarded a manor, a hundred acres of land, and a million dollars, and rewarded Tang Jian, Wang Yu, Wang Kangda and others differently.

After Li Yuan finished inspecting the military camp and sent someone to take over Puzhou, Wang Kangda followed Li Yuan back to Chang'an and began to do something for Wang Yu.

The commencement of the Childcare examination is scheduled for March 23.

The day before the exam, Wang Yu arrived outside Chang'an City, but the city gate was closed at this time.

"Alas, it's still a step too late." Wang Yu sighed at the closed city gate and said to everyone, "Let's stay outside the city for one night tonight." ”

Daquan couldn't help but count her: "Everyone advised you to go back to Chang'an early, but you didn't listen, it's too late, right?" ”

"Where's late?" Wang Yu went back: "Won't you be able to catch the exam if you go into the city early tomorrow morning?"

"Besides, if I go back to Chang'an early, you will have a few fewer achievements."

Daquan: "......"

Do they care about those few people who have done their best?
