Bu Liu Guli heard the words and asked, "I don't know who Gong Li thinks can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

Li Shun said: "If the prince doesn't suspect that the minister is not learning, the minister will recommend himself to Chang'an to lobby the leopard!" ”

Buliu Guli was overjoyed, but hesitated and said: "With Li Gong out of the horse, this king naturally believes that Li Gong can succeed immediately, but when Li Gong goes, there will be no one around this king to give advice and counsel for military and political affairs, how can this be good?" ”

Li Shun touched his long beard, thought for a while and said: "Lord Wang, although this old thing Dou Luluyuan is a little selfish, but it is an old treacherous and cunning, the prince is not afraid to listen to his opinions on weekdays, but he just wants to send someone to keep an eye on him, in case he is bought for some yellow and white things!" ”

Buliu Guli nodded: "Li Gong's words are remembered by this king, I don't know when Li Gong plans to set off?" ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better, the minister went out this time not only to see the leopard, the minister plans to go west to Huaishuo Town to see Daqian, and then go to Bogulu Town to see Xi Huan, and then go to Chang'an to see the leopard!"

Bu Liuguli's eyes lit up, her spirit was shocked, and she asked, "Is it possible that Duke Li is sure to accept them and respect the imperial court?" ”

Li Gong said: "I don't dare to say that I am completely sure, I will only know after I go!" ”

"In this way, this king will prepare more gold and silver for Duke Li!"

Two days later, Li Shun and his entourage of dozens of people marched westward under the escort of two hundred cavalry, and Buliu Guli and his officials were sent outside the city gate, and did not return until Li Shun was far away.

Six days later, Li Shun and his entourage arrived in Huaishuo Town.

Lai Daqian was not very interested in Li Shun's arrival, Li Shun's official position was Situ, and he was also an envoy of the emperor of the imperial court, he did not go out of the city to greet him, but sat in the hall of the town general's mansion and waited for Li Shun's arrival.

Li Shun was not surprised by this attitude towards Daqian, who came to Daqian is an old minister of several dynasties, his ancestors have glory, and he is still a general in a border town with heavy troops, with the embarrassing position of the imperial court now, it is already very polite to come to Daqian not to turn him away.

Li Shun's subordinates were all blocked out of the lobby, and he was the only one who was allowed to enter the lobby, he looked at Lai Daqian with his hands behind his back, and Lai Daqian also stared at him with wide eyes, and the two of them didn't speak for a while, and whoever spoke first would have a weakened momentum.

The second son of Daqian was impatient, and scolded Li Shun: "Old man, why don't you pay a big salute when you see my grandfather?" ”

"Hahaha······" Li Shun laughed.

Lai Ti was a little annoyed and furious: "Damn bad old man is so rude, isn't it bad to deceive me with a knife in my hand?" ”

Li Shun smiled and was not afraid, his face was straight, he stared at Lai Daqian and asked: "Come to Daqian, let me ask you, are you still a minister of Great Wei?" ”

If he says that he is not a minister of Dawei, it means that he has betrayed Dawei, and he has been loyal to his family for two generations, and he doesn't want to come to his house to bear the name of a traitor in his hands.

"Lai is naturally a minister of Great Wei, it is a bit redundant for Li Gong to ask this!" Lai Daqian said in a deep voice.

Li Shun said: "The old man thinks it is not redundant at all, the old man is the emperor's Situ, and this trip is on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor to send envoys to various towns, come to Daqian, you admit that you are still a minister of the Great Wei, why don't you visit this Situ?" Don't you disrespect the emperor and the court? Or do you already have a disobedient heart, so you don't take this Situ seriously? ”

Lai Daqian was a little overwhelmed, beads of sweat faintly appeared on his forehead, he never thought of betraying the court, nor did he have a heart of disobedience, this notoriety is not comfortable on his back, he regretted taking the shelf too big at this time, but he wanted him to be soft in front of Li Shun and a little unable to pull his face.

"It's just nonsense, how could Ben have disrespected the court? Ben just didn't want to honor a puppet little emperor who was supported by traitors! Lai Daqian has some retorts that lack confidence.

Li Shun snorted coldly: "The puppet little emperor who was supported by the traitors? Do you think the regent is a traitor? The regent's army is just the side of the Qing monarch! ”

"Hahaha······ Qingjun side? This is just a nice thing to say, and it is just that the kid who is Buliu Guli himself is looking for a legal and reasonable excuse for his rebellious behavior! ”

Li Shun suddenly sighed: "Okay, whatever you think about this matter when you come to Daqian, but it doesn't matter, what matters is who the emperor who is being proclaimed!" He is Tuoba Huang, the son of Emperor Taiwu, and he is eleven years old this year! Come to Daqian, your father came to Chuzhen to follow Emperor Daowu all his life, made military exploits, became a general, was knighted Marquis Wuyuan, and glorified his life! And you not only served Emperor Ming Yuan, but also was promoted and reused when Emperor Taiwu was made, and repeatedly made military exploits, Emperor Taiwu when you are an elder uncle, let you wait day and night, it can be said that you trust you very much, and now his son is supported as the emperor, do you want to object? If you don't repay Emperor Taiwu's trust and kindness, you still want to oppose his son as emperor, what are your intentions? You still say that you don't have a heart of disobedience? ”

"What? Is it true that the little emperor is the son of Emperor Taiwu? He's not dead? "Lai Daqian was surprised.

Li Shun said: "After the surrender of Yuyang City, His Majesty was not killed, but was isolated from the outside world!" ”

Lai Daqian immediately got up and walked out from behind the desk, hugged his fists and said: "Situ forgive the sin, the last general doesn't know the reason, so that there is such a misunderstanding, please sit down!" ”

Li Shun said angrily: "I don't dare to sit in your position, you better find me another stool!" ”

Lai Daqian had to order someone to bring a stool, and Li Shun sat down.

After coming to Daqian and returning to the desk, he said to Li Shun: "Li Gong, I am afraid that you came to Huaishuo Town this time not because of His Majesty's intentions, but because of Buliu Guli's intentions, right?" After all, His Majesty is only eleven years old, and he is supported by Buliu Guli, but I am afraid that His Majesty will not be in charge of military and political affairs in the DPRK and China! ”

Li Shun said: "The general is an understanding person, and the old man is not hiding it, the old man is indeed here on the orders of the regent, but does it matter?" Whether it is the regent or His Majesty asking the old man to come to see the general, the starting point is for the sake of the Great Wei and the subjects of this world! At the beginning, the two towns of Woye and Huaishuo were attacked by the Rouran people, and the imperial court also sent a small number of troops to reinforce for the safety of these two towns. Now that the imperial court is in trouble, His Majesty's throne is unstable, shouldn't the general and the soldiers of the two towns be loyal to the court and the emperor? ”

Lai Daqian was silent for a while, and finally asked Li Shun's intention: "Li Gong was ordered to come to Huaishuo Town to do what Ben will do?" ”

Li Shundao: "Respect the emperor, respect the court, accept the will of the court at the critical moment and send troops to crusade against the Qianguo!" This world is the world of the Great Wei, and now the Qianguo is bullying the master with slaves, and it has forced the imperial court to have little room for it, and it can no longer be allowed to sit big, otherwise the world is only afraid that it will really be occupied by the Qianguo! ”

Lai Daqian frowned: "This Zhao Junsheng has acted many times, and it makes people unable to grasp the handle, but after all, he shows his disobedience!" It's just ······ Let Liuguli always be in charge of the government and military affairs, and I will not accept it! ”

It's no wonder that Lai Daqian is an old minister of several dynasties, with outstanding military achievements and a high status in the military, and now he is being climbed to the head by a junior in Buliu Guli, how can he be convinced? If Buliu Guli achieves his current position with merit, he has nothing to say about Daqian, but he relied on the despicable means of the Qing monarch to force the emperor to death and kill the minister to the throne, and Daqian is not only ashamed of Buliu Guli's behavior, but also hateful, where is he willing to listen to the mercy of Buliu Guli?

Li Shun looked left and right, "General, the old man has something to say to the general alone."

Li Shun is alone in this lobby, and he is an old man, who came to Daqian to be a military general, known for his courage and strength, naturally he is not afraid of Li Shunxing's assassination, he waved his hand to the people in the lobby: "Go down!" ”

After everyone was gone, Li Shun said: "The general's mood, the old man can actually understand it!" Dare to ask the general, did Emperor Taiwu ascend the throne as a teenager? ”

Lai Daqian thought about it and said, "It should be fifteen years old!" ”

"Yes, Emperor Taiwu gave birth to Princess Nan'an at the age of fourteen, ascended the throne as emperor at the age of fifteen, and led the army to conquer Rouran at the age of sixteen, killing thousands and capturing countless people······ Even if His Majesty's talent is not as good as Emperor Taiwu, as long as His Majesty's talent is half that of Emperor Taiwu, can he not assist His Majesty in eradicating treachery, purging the dynasty, and pacifying the world with the presence of old ministers such as generals? ”

Lai Daqian's face was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes flashed, a smile appeared on his face, he seemed to be quite excited, and turned his head to shout outside: "Come on, prepare a banquet for Situ to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”

Two days later, Li Shun and his retinue, escorted by 200 cavalry, continued westward and arrived at Woye Town after walking for several days.

Li Shun and his entourage took the warrant to Daqian and were warmly welcomed by the guards in Woye Town, and after resting for a day and replenishing some materials, they crossed the Yellow River and went south along the Yellow River.

After walking for eight days, Li Shun and his entourage came to Bogulu Town, which is the place of Xi Juan's governance.

Xi Guanguan worships General Zhennan, knighted Nanyang Gong, he can be described as a real old minister, veteran, from the time of Emperor Daowu began to serve as a general, young military talent, outstanding achievements.

Xi Juan's town guarded this thin bone law town, it is not a small town, but a military town, and Huaishuo Town's status is equivalent, its name in the later Tang Dynasty is called Lingwu, is the Shuofang Jiedu envoy station, Tang Suzong Li Heng is in Lingwu enthroned as the emperor.

I heard that the imperial court sent Situ Li Shun to come, and knew that this Li Shun was Li Shun, one of the ministers around Emperor Taiwu, so he personally went to the city gate to greet him.

After the two met, Xi asked "Why did Situ come here?" ”

Li Shun said: "The son of Emperor Taiwu ascended the throne as the emperor, and the throne of Great Wei returned to Zhengshuo, for the sake of the court and the world, the old man had to come!" ”

Xi Yan's expression was serious when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and said, "Please!" ”
