"Plain County, please!"
"Don't be a criminal!"
Even though Liu Lancheng had committed a heinous crime, he was still one of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty. Li Kuan did not fall into trouble and gave him the respect he deserved. Although Li Kuan had to tell Liu Lancheng's secrets in order to control the situation during the day, now letting go of his prejudices is nothing more than an ordinary conversation.
Li Kuan asked Liu Lancheng to sit down. Liu Lancheng knew that he was a guilty minister and was ashamed of him, so he did not dare to sit down. Li Kuan did not force him to sit down, and continued to kneel on the ground in accordance with Liu Lancheng's intention. Li Kuan poured the wine himself, Liu Lancheng was ashamed and embarrassed: "His Royal Highness!..."
"Today's see-off wine is not finished. This glass of wine is my deeds on behalf of Datang Xiepingyuan County!" Li Kuan held up the wine glass and respectfully toasted a glass of wine. Liu Lancheng smiled bitterly while holding the wine glass. Exhausted; Li Kuan pours the wine again, "This second cup is an apology for my remarks today!"
Liu Lancheng smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness's words are facts and there is nothing wrong with them!"
"No!" Li Kuan said solemnly, "Although Liu Yanming is not the prince of Pingyuan County, but you regard it as your own, this is beyond my reach!"
"..." Liu Lancheng remained silent, only a bitter smile, and he was silent for a moment, and said: "His Royal Highness has not yet solved the doubts today. If possible, the criminal minister would like to know how your Highness knew about this?"
"There is no impermeable wall in the world!" Li Kuan said the same things during the day, and Liu Lancheng understood when he calmed down. At that time, Liu Yanming came into existence after Liu Lancheng accompanied the army on the expedition. Those who knew about this Liu Lancheng didn't stop talking. Even if he repeatedly ordered the relevant personnel to keep it secret, he couldn't stand the inquiries from the sidelines. Liu Lancheng understood.
During the day, Li Kuan said that Liu Lancheng and Liu Zhao and his son excluded Liu Yanming. This is not the case. Liu Yanming’s parents were killed by Liu Lancheng. This is true. After all, anyone who knew about this would be furious, and Liu Lancheng would kill him in anger.
After Liu Lancheng figured it out, he accepted a second glass of wine. Then, Li Kuan filled the third cup and said: "Although Pingyuan County is the founding hero, he violated the national law and committed heinous crimes, the last glass of wine was to see him off for Liu Jun. Soon, the capital will send someone to take over Daizhou. , And you will also be escorted to Beijing."
Winner or loser, Liu Lancheng knew that he was bound to die, so he drank this glass of wine without hesitation. When his secret layout was broken by Li Kuan, Liu Lancheng knew that he had a dead end and there was no way out. Liu Lancheng regretted that he was too greedy and too important to power, or else he would end up like this. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"I'm very curious, how can you rebel against Liu Jungong, and want to stand up as king?" In fact, Li Kuan met Liu Lancheng alone to know his inner thoughts. Now Liu Lancheng is the prefect of the prefecture, with great power and no power. Human supervision can be said that in addition to the current emperor, one person is under ten thousand.
Liu Lancheng remained silent for a long time and sighed softly: "I know something about your Royal Highness. You don't yearn for power in your heart. When I walked out of the dead during the war in the former Sui Dynasty, I knew that power was above everything else. Because of his military exploits, he was named Pingyuan County Lord, and he was appointed as the governor of the prefecture, holding great power. But who doesn't want more power?"
"Is power really important?" Li Kuan couldn't empathize, and said: "Then do you regret it?"
"No!" Liu Lancheng said categorically, "The winner and the loser will remain the same through the ages. If I succeed, I will seize one side, then the real power will be in my hands. Even if I have a different head, I still have no regrets and no regrets. This is me. The pursuit of generations."
Li Kuan regretted that with Liu Lancheng's ability, he might have achieved a higher level, but he went the wrong way. Even if there is a conspiracy, it is not this time. The current emperor is in his prime, and the country is in peace. Who is willing to start a war? If it triggers a large-scale civil war, that person will be the culprit and be stinking for thousands of years. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of Datang Iron Cavalry was simply beyond the ability of a large army to resist, and the final outcome remained unchanged.
"Does Your Highness think that our Daizhou army is not strong?" Liu Lancheng looked at Li Kuan and said confidently: "I am under the jurisdiction of the sixteen prefectures, but as far as the state is concerned, our Daizhou army is absolutely powerful. It’s one of the best, otherwise how would Daizhou's army resist the backbone of foreign enemies, and how would it guard Yanmen Pass, the head of the Jiusai?"
Li Kuan believed that the Daizhou Army was brave and good at fighting, but the strength of the army was very different and it was not comparable at all, but he did not say it. There is no need for Li Kuan to continue arguing about something that is a foregone conclusion. Then, Liu Lancheng thought for a moment, and said, "His Royal Highness, the guilty minister has something to tell you."
Li Kuan replied: "It's okay to say it straight!"
"The king of Qi Li You is going to raise his troops to conspire!" Li Kuan was taken aback, and said, "Is it serious?"
Liu Lancheng nodded solemnly and said, "It is true that Acting Governor Shi Xuxuan was actually sent by King Qi. The main reason why I rebelled was that I value power, and on the other hand, if I raise troops in Daizhou. King Qi will also raise troops in Qizhou when he gets the news, and Xu Xuan is the middleman between King Qi and me."
Li Kuan's eyes were low and his brows furrowed. He didn't expect King Qi to be involved. This matter must be reported to the court as soon as possible. If the king of Qi Li You succeeded in raising his troops, Qizhou would completely become his sphere of influence. Circumstances work.
"Do you know how powerful the king of Qi is?" Li Kuan said with a condensed face, "If what is said is true, I can ask the sage to be exempted from death."
Liu Lancheng shook his head and sighed: "Even if you don't die, you will become a slave. It's better to die than to live. Your Highness's kindness is my heart. I don't know how much Qi Wang's strength is. In terms of Qizhou's strength, it is no less than 30,000. If you add the people of Qizhou, it is estimated that there will be one hundred thousand troops."
"Thank you!" Li Kuan thanked him sincerely, and then said: "I immediately played the court and informed the saint of this matter. In addition, Linglang's death may be incapable of doing anything, but I will do my best to stay for the Pingyuan County Lord What do you think?"
"If your Highness doesn't dislike it, I can help your Highness!" Liu Lancheng said in a deep voice, "As long as Your Highness needs my cooperation, I, Liu Lancheng, will go all out. As for the matter of leaving my blood, please save my infancy. Grandson, I wonder if your Highness can agree?"
"I will go all out to save his life!" Li Kuan agreed and would do it. Although Liu Lan was convicted and unforgivable, the child who was just born was indeed innocent. Even if Liu Lancheng didn't say anything, Li Kuan would not approve that even the child was cut.
Even if it is an official slave, it is better than death, and life is more important than anything else. As for the King Qi's rebellion, Li Kuan decided to go to the court and spread it to the capital to inform the current emperor and let him decide. If the rebellion broke out, the consequences would be disastrous. (End of this chapter)
