"His Royal Highness, the next official has something unknown, please enlighten me!"
Xue Wanshu knew that his future had been ruined. He was ashamed of what happened at the beginning. Now it is more like letting go of the burden in his heart. The whole person has become calm and there is no worry in his tone, as if everything is seen away.
"But it's okay!" Li Kuan smiled slightly, and Xue Wanshu asked: "Since your Royal Highness knows that it is a strategy, why do you want to follow the boat and do it?"
"In the battle of Xue Yantuo, many soldiers and soldiers of our army were killed and injured, and tens of thousands of people buried their bones and stayed on that land forever." Li Kuan said slowly, "Falling leaves always have to return to their roots, but they can't bring their bones back to their hometowns. , The only way to bury the territories they killed with their lives can be seen by their heroic spirits."
"It's human nature to make my brother Xue Wanche be greedy for utilitarian gains, and make every effort to make further progress. This is human nature. People go to high places and water flows to low places. I don't say much. But you know that your soldiers are in danger, and you don't just ignore them. Hearing nothing, and even falling into trouble, even thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield in vain."
"I didn't report this matter to the Ming court. Do you know why?" Li Kuan looked at Xue Wanshu. Xue Wanshu was also very curious about the reason, and asked, "Why?"
"Because I want to seek justice personally, no matter what position or status I am in, anyone who participates in this matter must be punished." Li Kuan said calmly, "Wu Wang Li Ke is the first one, but what he committed is not the same. It's not heavy, so I left him a way out, and he was taken to Yanrandu Protector by me, the purpose is to make atonement for what he committed."
"As for you, the old accounts are settled together. The old accounts must have passed. For just this matter, you will not escape the court's punishment. Even if you pay off the crime and avoid one death, you will not escape the crime of exile and demotion. As for your brother, he Absolutely apologize with death."
Xue Wanshu was shocked, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Do you want to..."
"Duke Xue is worthy of being a general. I guessed the real purpose so quickly!" Li Kuan admitted frankly and said straightforwardly: "Yes, I want to find the person behind the scenes, and the one who hides behind you and Ling brother That person is the current Wei Wang Li Tai."
"Perhaps Cui Renshi, Wei Ting, Zhang Da'an and others thought they were Li Tai’s right-hand man, but they were all wrong. For Li Tai, he really relied on your brothers. You are the commander and leader of Yingzhou. Xiaoli Dongyi, and his younger brothers are General Wuwei from the right and the Prince of Wu'an County, so that Li Tai can know the affairs of the military without leaving his house."
Xue Wanshu's eyes widened and his mouth opened, dumbfounded like a wooden chicken.
"Li Taiqian shouldn't have arranged for his own people to enter the army, and even put an assassin in it who wanted to kill me, and he joined with him, the king of Shu Li Yan. It's just that Li Yan did it, but it's more secretive. He actually inserted his own people in the people of King Wu, in order to frame Li Ke, and then stay out of the matter, and these things must have been ordered by Li Tai."
When Li Kuan thoroughly investigated the people involved in this matter, he used his hidden power. As expected, several princes were involved, and the forces behind them were also involved, just like the two brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanshu.
"Ling brother violated the command of the General Marshal and did not support me who was besieged. Maybe he thought I would never come back. So when he saw me, he was a little dazed. From his eyes, I could see his confusion and shock. So Shun Shun. After checking down this line, I realized that some of the soldiers were his direct subordinates."
Li Kuan and telling the truth, but he did not explain how he investigated these things. "What surprised me was that my brother was drunk and confided in the saints, and complained that the court was unfair to him, especially every time the coach did. Others, and he thinks he is no weaker than anyone else, he is unwilling to curse the emperor's eyelessness."
Xue Wanshu was in a cold sweat. He really didn't know about this. He was annoyed at Xue Wanche. He was even more alarmed by Li Kuan's ability. It seemed that Li Kuan had completely changed since the battle of Xue Yantuo. It was to lay out everything secretly, and to annihilate it in one fell swoop when the time was right. This method made him seem to have seen Emperor Taizong Li Shimin back then.
"Then King Wei, how would you handle it?" Xue Wanshu's heart was chilled, and the goose bumps were all erected.
"Life is better than death!" Li Kuan said word by word, that monstrous murderous intent made Xue Wanshu even more frightened. He discovered that the man who hid the deepest was actually Chu Wang Li Kuan. In the brief conversation between the two, Li Kuan revealed too much, but he did not dare to disclose a word, because he could be killed, his brother could also be killed, but Xue Wanshu did not dare to use Xue Jiaman to bet on Li. Generous kindness, may I ask any emperor who was enthroned and proclaimed the emperor without blood in his hands
Since he has the determination to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, he can deal with anyone cruelly. Whoever dares to stop the road is the enemy, and he will never show mercy. If Xue Wanshu dared to divulge half a sentence, he believed that Li Kuan’s methods would definitely kill the Xue family, and the four brothers, their children, and collaterals would add up to hundreds of people. If all of them died, they would be family sinners. .
Because of this concern, Li Kuan would say a few more words with him, because Xue Wanshu is expected to not leak it. If it were Xue Wanche, Li Kuan would not talk nonsense with him. From the time he started targeting himself, Li Kuan and Xue Wanche were rivals.
Since then, Li Kuan has laid out all the people hiding in the dark, and he can only take action at an appropriate time to make the other party no longer stand up.
Xue Wanshu knew that Li Kuan was cruel and resourceful. He was completely convinced. From the moment Zhang Jian appeared, he guessed that Xue Wanche had the same people around him, even Li Tai. Suddenly, Xue Wanshu's face changed again, and he looked up and saw the smile on Li Kuan's face.
Suddenly, Xue Wanshu's back became cold, like a stray wind blowing.
Since Li Kuan knew that this was a trap set by Li Tai against him, Li Kuan would use the tricks, and he would never leave it alone while pushing the boat along the river. There must be other tactics. At the same time, Xue Wanshu felt even more frightened when he thought of Li Tai going to the place where the epidemic occurred.
If Li Kuan sets up a trap here, then Li Tai will die forever. Even if he returns to Beijing, he will not be as ambitious and ambitious as usual. He will definitely suffer the most painful blow. The only possibility is that Li Kuan has acted on the epidemic to let people infect Li Tai. Then he will not only get sick. Dangerous, but will return without success, but in the end it will complete Li Kuan, expose his power, and cause the emperor's jealousy, and the final outcome will be doomed.
Thinking of this, Xue Wanshu even more recognized Li Kuan's danger, just like a tiger pretending to sleep. When you are complacent, if there is a flaw, it will give you a fatal blow. This is the real danger. Confrontation on the battlefield involves intelligence, force, and even force. However, in the officialdom there are more conspiracies and tricks, and now it seems that Li Kuan is even better. (End of this chapter)
