A few days later.

Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

After Emperor Yu Li Qian ended the early dynasty, he retreated left and right, and only took Gonggong Hong, through the imperial garden, and into an unknown palace.

This palace has no palace, not even a palace building, just an ordinary courtyard, a vegetable garden, and a thatched house.

If you don't look up and see Weiyang Palace, I'm afraid that people who come here won't realize that this is the Imperial Palace.

Such a special courtyard will naturally not be raised by ordinary people, but it is where Sun Mingshan, the military master of Yu Guo, lives.

Emperor Yu Li Gan specially built a nursing home for him.

In this world, except for him Sun Mingshan, I am afraid that there will not be a second person who can enjoy such treatment.

"Not there? Hurry, hurry, he'll find out later. Li Qiandong looked around and saw that there was no one.

led Father-in-law Hong to trot into the vegetable garden, the radish in winter is the sweetest, and he wants to get another duck......

Duck?

"You pluck the turnips, I'll catch the ducks."

Li Qian turned to the chicken and duck coop, aimed at a fat and fat one, and pressed it hard, but this also alarmed the chicken and duck.

Quack.

"Your Majesty, you can't help it, that's a duck that lays eggs!" Sun Mingshan hurriedly ran out, and knew that it was Li Gan without looking.

Others don't dare to come here.

Click!

Li Gan deliberately twisted hard, pinched the duck's neck, and licked his smiling face, "Mingshan, don't blame me, it's too fragile, it's all dead anyway, let's stew." ”

What can Sun Mingshan do, he has already strangled to death, this is going to be thrown away, and it is indeed a pity.

"Let's stew."

"I'll leave it to you, old thing." Li Qian was as happy as a child, threw the duck to Grandpa Hong, and waited to eat it.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Sun Mingshan invited Li Qian into the house, and there was no furniture inside, no different from ordinary people.

He is not poor.

Li Qian once asked him, "What do you want, why are you obsessed with this thatched hut?" ”

Sun Mingshan said, "Your Majesty will give me whatever I want, why can't you ask for a thatched hut?" ”

As a matter of fact.

Li Qian knew in his heart that Sun Mingshan had killed too many people and didn't dare to enjoy wealth and wealth, so he drew the ground as a prison and trapped himself in this square inch.

Sun Mingshan made a pot of tea and said casually: "Your Majesty is here this time, is there something wrong, for the emperor's grandson?" ”

"I am not the only emperor and grandson, how can you be sure that it is Li Huai?" Li Qian asked rhetorically.

Sun Mingshan smiled, "I didn't say that it was Li Huai, Your Majesty said it yourself." ”

"I'm fooled by you again!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Gan continued: "It's about the same as you, Li Huai was ambushed on the Weishui River, and Wang Chunyang rescued him. ”

Sun Mingshan shook his head, "It's just using Li Huai as bait, this trick is too risky, if he really has an accident, this ...... Alas, it's okay. ”

Li Gan disagreed, and said proudly: "If he doesn't experience some winds and waves, how can he grow." ”

"Your Majesty, if there is such a thing next time, can you discuss it with me before making a decision, we have weighed a lot on him." Sun Mingshan said earnestly.

Li Qian waved his hand impatiently, "You made the decision to press the treasure, I didn't agree at the beginning, and now I regret it in a hurry." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Forget it, don't talk about him." Li Gan didn't want to spend too much effort and waste it on Li Huai. Especially after the death of the crown prince, he almost did not allow anyone to face Li Huai in front of him.

"Although Wang Chunyang stirred up the nest, my people have finally been inserted, do you think you can catch them all this time?" Li Qian asked.

Sun Mingshan shook his head, "Can't!" ”

"You're not going to say anything nice." Li Gan glanced at him.

Sun Mingshan still insisted, "Their power cannot be underestimated, and they must be killed inexhaustibly, I dare to suggest that Your Majesty should figure out why they want to kill Emperor Sun." ”

Syllable!

Li Gan slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "They killed my crown prince, and I avenged my son, can't this work?" ”

"Okay!"

Sun Mingshan nodded, "But to find out, who killed the prince, Your Majesty has evidence to prove that they killed the prince?" ”

"You ......"

Li Gan pointed at Sun Mingshan angrily, "The entire imperial court, civil and military officials, are all added together, and none of you Sun Mingshan is bold, you dare to question me." ”

Sun Mingshan did not shy away from it, raised his head and said: "I'm just telling the truth, if Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it, then I can't help it." ”

"You're still petty, you're not naïve."

Li Gan really didn't have anything to do with him, but his layout had been completed, and it was too late to stop now.

Sun Mingshan sighed, "I'm afraid that the emperor is in danger again." ”

"How can this be related to him?" Li Qian didn't understand very well, shouldn't he be safer except for these assassins?

Sun Mingshan explained: "Your Majesty can't kill the thieves, the thieves will definitely retaliate, they don't dare to come to Luoyang, don't they dare to go to Liangzhou?" ”

"That's why you stopped me, all your plans from beginning to end were to protect him, can you tell me why you are so optimistic about him?"

"Couldn't the rest of my sons compare to him?"

Li Gan's question seemed to be just asking about Li Huai's merits, and the last sentence he added revealed his thoughts.

He is testing Sun Mingshan, who is the most suitable to be the prince.

Sun Mingshan silently lowered his head, pondered for a while, raised his head and looked directly into Li Gan's eyes, and said: "When the prince dies, the younger brother is superior, and the younger brother is disrespectful, he should be the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's grandson deserves this position!" ”

"Bastard!"

Li Gan is really going crazy, if the prince didn't die, Sun Mingshan said that it was okay, his position was originally occupied by the prince.

The crown prince succeeded to the throne, and Li Huai was the new crown prince.

The question is what his uncles will think if the crown prince dies and insists on making Li Huai the prince.

Li Gan didn't think that Li Huai had this strength.

"I am only willing to listen to this kind of thing once, Sun Mingshan, I hope you will do it yourself. Change someone as soon as possible, as long as it is your choice, I will consider it. ”

Li Gan's meaning is that he can only choose from his remaining sons, and must not engage in intergenerational inheritance.

It is too dangerous to inherit from generation to generation, and if you are not careful, it will be cannibalism among the same clan, and the world will be in chaos!

Sun Mingshan stopped talking, and silence was his answer.

"The duck is stewed!"

Gonggong Hong came in with a steaming duck, and feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he took a step back.

"What are you running, killing people's ducks, and still don't give people a bite to eat, is this like words? Put it here, and bring another jug of wine. ”

"Yes!"

Father-in-law Hong put down the duck and went to get the wine.

Li Gan took off half of his dragon robe, saw Sun Mingshan's bitter gourd face, and raised his chopsticks, "Didn't I just speak a little louder, what are you sulking?" Don't mention it, eat duck, it's not delicious when it's cold. ”

Sun Mingshan didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks and grabbed them, and said while grabbing, "If I win, I hope Your Majesty will promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Gan asked tentatively.

"Let's talk about it when we win."

"You're fooling, I didn't even say it started."

……

Father-in-law Hong came in with wine, and saw that the two of them seemed to be crazy, directly scooping up duck meat with their hands and stuffing it into their mouths frantically.

Like a whirlwind, a duck quickly wiped out, and then began to count the duck bones.

"One, two, three...... Seventeen! ”

"Two, four, six...... Eighteen! ”

The winner is decided!

Li Gan crossed his hands on his hips, "Say, what do you want me to promise you?" ”

Plop!

Sun Mingshan landed on his knees, slammed his head on the ground, and said in a solemn voice: "I beg Your Majesty to give King Liang an axe!" ”

Li Qian knew that he would definitely make an excessive request, but he didn't expect it to be so excessive.

The axe does not refer to the axe and the axe, but a right, and the axe is a symbol of military power and domination.

If Li Gan agreed to his request, then no one could take care of Li Huai except the emperor.

Everything in Liangzhou is up to Li Huai himself, including recruiting soldiers, governing the army, levying injustice, and punishing, all of which are his rights.

Liangzhou can be regarded as a small country!

"We gave him a lance and allowed him to use military force and punishment. You don't have to haggle anymore either. Li Gan immediately made a decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Mingshan gladly accepted.

Li Gan had a feeling of being deceived, "Okay, you are a Sun Mingshan, you deliberately made a request that I couldn't agree to, but in fact, you begged for him, and I fell for your plan." ”

Sun Mingshan raised his head and said unabashedly: "I ask for a lance, and Your Majesty is afraid that he will only give the whip." ”

The whip only has the power of punishment, and it makes no difference to a prince with or without it.

The lance is different, if you use soldiers abroad, you have to have soldiers. As long as Li Huai is not stupid, he can take advantage of this and raise 180,000 soldiers and horses without any problems.

Before Li Gan left, he turned around and asked him, "Liangzhou is barren, do you think he has the money to raise soldiers?" ”

Sun Mingshan shook his head, "No! ”

"So what's the point of you doing this?"

"If he can govern Liangzhou well, subdue Beidi County, and manage it properly, Liangzhou will be full of soldiers and horses."

"You expect too much from him!"

"I believed in Him, and I have believed in Him for seventeen years, and I will continue to believe in Him!"
