The black man was Li Fuguo, who rushed to Chengdu from the capital. In fact, he arrived in Chengdu two days ago, but he never showed up, lived in Chengdu for two days, and pretended to be an ordinary person in the market to find out what Wang Yuan did in Chengdu. Li Fuguo was a little surprised by Wang Yuan's prestige in Chengdu. This young envoy seems to be at home in Jiannan Province.

Wang Yuan looked at Li Fuguo's potholed and ugly face under the light, and sighed in his heart, what should come is always coming. After Wang Zhonghei fell, he expected such a day, and now it really came, and it was Li Fuguo who came in person.

"It was actually Li Neishi, which really surprised me. Please sit down, I'm rude, I'm not dressed and I'm here to entertain you, and I'm guilty. Wang Yuan smiled and said with a smile.

Li Fuguo smiled and said: "It's not Wang Jiedu who is rude, but our family's rudeness." The third watch came to disturb me in the middle of the night, but it was mine. I don't want to do that, but you can see why I'm doing it, because I don't want to make a big deal out of it. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and smiled: "Understand, please sit down and talk." ”

Li Fuguo said politely, picked up the big man and sat by the desk, the servant served the tea, and Wang Yuan immediately waved away everyone and asked them to close the hall door.

Only Wang Yuan and Li Fuguo were left sitting opposite each other in the hall, and there was silence all around. Li Fuguo's voice of sluggling tea was very loud, and Wang Yuan's brows furrowed. From a person's mannerisms and movements, we can gain insight into their heart. Li Fuguo drank tea loudly in front of him, which was uncourteous, and it could be seen that in his heart, he had no respect for himself. Maybe in his opinion, he is still a subordinate of his Luo Yimen, so he doesn't need to respect himself.

Li Fuguo drank a few sips of tea, put down the teacup with a slug of his mouth, and squinted at Wang Yuandao: "Wang Jiedu is very moisturized in Jiannan Road, and he is unrestrained here, which is really a hundred times better than in the capital." No wonder some people say that it is better to be an official in Beijing than to be an official outside, and it really makes sense. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Li Nei has said it, there is such an exaggeration as you said. No matter where they are, they are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all loyal to the imperial court. The capital has its own difficulties, and foreign officials have their own hardships. I am in Jiannan, shouldering the responsibility of defending border towns, and I often fight with the enemy, and life and death are impermanent. If it's comfortable, it's much more comfortable in the capital. ”

Li Fuguo smiled and said, "That's what I said." Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Li Neizhi must have something important to come to Chengdu." But I don't know what it is, I have to work for Li Nei to come. Thousands of miles away, Shu Road is difficult to travel, and Li Neishou is afraid that he will be hard along the way. ”

Li Fuguo arched his hand to the sky and said: "Those of us who are courtiers only share the worries of the Lord, but the road is difficult and dangerous. Of course, I didn't come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to meet the envoy of the king on the order of the prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a few thoughtful words for our family to inform the envoy of the king's festival. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I see, I don't think Li Neishou will leave the capital and come to Chengdu for no reason." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has anything to tell me, please let me know. ”

Li Fuguo squinted at Wang Yuan and said, "Envoy Wang Jiedu, before conveying the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, let's talk about something else." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The guest is as he pleases, what does Li Neishou want to talk about?" ”

Li Fuguo put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "What is the opinion of Envoy Wang Jiedu on the defeat and debasement of Wang Zhonghe's army? ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Are you talking about this?" Hey, it's really a pity, I didn't expect Wang Zhongsi to be defeated in Shibao City and fall so easily. This matter is really tricky, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to sleep at night. Wang Zhonghei is not angry, wouldn't he let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cultivate him in vain. When I returned to the capital a few years ago, I also reminded His Royal Highness to tell Wang Zhongsi to pay attention to the villain behind him. Although I respect Wang Zhonghei, but in this matter I want to scold him for being too careless, isn't it a bad situation? ”

Li Fuguo said in a deep voice: "Envoy Wang Jiedu, did you know about the insidious deeds behind Li Linfu's affairs in advance, but you didn't tell the prince and me everything. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said coldly: "What does Li Neishi mean by this?" Could it be that you have suspected me? Let me say something you don't like to hear, as a person close to the crown prince, I have already reminded you when I returned to Beijing a year ago, and you Li Neishou was also present at that time. But it seems that you have not done your duty either. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't think about it, you should think about it for him. Well, now that things have come to such a point that you don't reflect on your own mistakes, but you come and pour dirty water on me? Could it be that Your Highness has sent you here to ask me if I am hiding this from him? ”

Li Fuguo was stunned, and said in a soothing tone: "Wang Jiedu envoy must not be angry, this is just my personal question, and I also want Wang Jiedu to clarify this matter, it is definitely not what the prince thinks." ”

Wang Yuan shouted: "If you have a question in your heart, then you are a little stupid. You don't want to think about it, Wang Zhonghe's matter was completely planned by Li Linfu, and even Yang Guozhong doesn't know the whole picture, how can I know? Do you think that Li Linfu and I can't have a secret relationship? It's a joke. ”

Li Fuguo was scolded stupidly by Wang Yuan in front of him, and he wanted to be angry but couldn't be angry. In fact, this is Wang Yuan's true reflection, if Wang Yuan is not angry at all and desperately explains, Li Fuguo really suspects that he has something to hide.

"That's it, even if I'm cranky, I'll accompany you. It's just because this matter is so big that I can't help but think about it with anxiety. Do you know how bad the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't sleep all night, everyone lost weight, and they were terrified every day, can we people get by by looking at it? We can't share the worries of the Lord, we are not divided into people. Li Fuguo sighed.

Wang Yuan's face was slightly gentle, and he frowned: "Do you still need to say this?" I can guess the anxiety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince right now. Wang Zhonghei is the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside the court, and the situation is very good, but as soon as he has such an accident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be helpless. Li Linfu has been clamoring for another prince, and in the current situation, I am afraid that he will be even more unscrupulous. After that, he will make more troubles, as long as there is one thing that involves the prince, I am afraid that he will bite and hold on, and he will not stop pulling His Royal Highness the prince off the horse. ”

Li Fuguo was surprised: "So you know this so well? I'm going to have to talk a lot. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "Could it be that Li Neishou thinks that I, Wang Yuan, can sit in the position of the envoy of the festival degree by relying on shit luck?" I can't see through this, how can I get a foothold? ”

Li Fuguo nodded and said: "You can see it clearly, you also know the crisis, the prince is helpless, and he is bored and worried every day." At this time, do you need to contribute to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Before that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't let you do anything in order to protect you. But now, as a member of Luo Yimen, it's time for you to come out and share the prince's worries. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Is this what you are here for?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to say these things to me, right? ”

Li Fuguo said in a deep voice: "Exactly." Wang Yuan, let's talk from the heart, our family has always been suspicious of you. I don't have complete trust in you. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "I can see that Li Neishou doesn't want to see me, I know in my heart." ”

Li Fuguo said: "It's not that I'm prejudiced against you, but some of your behaviors make our family feel that you are not fully loyal to the prince." But these are irrelevant, what we want to tell you is that as long as anyone enters my Luoyimen, he needs to be loyal to the prince for the rest of his life, and he should not think half-heartedly until he dies, because Luoyimen will not see the light of day, if this person wants to get out of Luoyimen, then he has only a dead end. I'm not threatening the envoy of Wang Jiedu, but just reminding the envoy of Wang Jiedu to understand what kind of place Luo Yimen is. Once Luo Yimen is exposed, all the people in the gate will not be able to live, so for those who intend to betray Luo Yimen, even if he is a high-ranking official and prince, Xiangguo Shangshu, or even an envoy of the military festival, Luo Yimen will not let him go. As a last resort, the jade will be burned, and he will never let him take advantage of Luo Yimen's momentum but not do anything for Luo Yimen, and finally think about stepping on two boats. I don't know if the king understands what I mean. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "I understand, what Li Neishou said couldn't be clearer." It's just that you don't trust me, you want to remind me not to forget that I am a person from Luo Yimen, and if my identity is exposed, I will die without a place to be buried. ”

"You are an understanding person, our family can only say things here. But we're just reminding you. Under the current situation, I need you to stand up for the prince and prove your loyalty to the prince and Luo Yimen, which is the purpose of my trip. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "But I don't know how I can prove my loyalty?" Do you want me to play Your Majesty tomorrow and tell Your Majesty that if Your Majesty takes the throne of the crown prince, I will rebel and go to the capital? ”

Li Fuguo was taken aback, Wang Yuan was open-mouthed, and he said such things so casually.

"Of course not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never ask you to do such a thing. His Royal Highness's request is that you are now by Yang Guozhong's side, and you need to try your best to persuade Yang Guozhong to protect the crown prince and stop colluding with Li Linfu. Tell Yang Guozhong that as long as he is willing to protect the prince, the prince will be crowned a great treasure in the future, and the honor of his Yang family will still be there, and he Yang Guozhong will be reused by the prince. You have to tell Yang Guozhong that once the crown prince is seized, after the new prince ascends the throne, his Yang family will not have any benefits. You have to convince Yang Guozhong to keep the crown prince in the court, and that's what you have to do. ”

Wang Yuan suddenly realized that the original purpose was here, and Li Fuguo had come all the way to instigate Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu to fight against each other. With Yang Guozhong's influence in the court to contain Li Linfu, if Li Linfu does not get Yang Guozhong's support, all his actions against the crown prince are afraid that it will be very difficult to succeed. This is called saving the country with a curve, and it is used to fight with strength. Let Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu fight, so as to achieve the goal of easing the situation of the prince.

Wang Yuan looked at Li Fuguo and smiled, and Li Fuguo's heart was furious when he smiled.

"What? Don't you want to do it? It seems that you really don't want to be loyal to the crown prince. Li Fuguo frowned.

Wang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Li Neishou misunderstood, this method is very good, I am admiring Li Neizhi's scheming." ”

Li Fuguo frowned and said: "You don't have to be sarcastic about me, there is no other way to make the prince break the situation at the moment, so you can only try it." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I said that this is a clever plan, if it can be successful, the prince can breathe a sigh of relief." Left and right fight each other, Prince Yu has a hundred benefits and no harm. But Li Neishou forgot one thing, you overestimate my status in Yang Guozhong's heart. ”

Li Fuguo said: "How is it possible? Doesn't Yang Guozhong rely on you very much? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head with a smile and said: "That's on the surface, in fact, I have offended him many times, and he is very dissatisfied with me." You must not believe it, but it is true. A few years ago, Yang Guozhong transported a large pile of tattered equipment and bladed weapons from the warehouse of the military department to Jiannan to humiliate me, you must have heard about it. If he is dependent on me, how can he humiliate me so much? The year before last, he sent me to be the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, which was a disregard for my life or death. ”

Li Fuguo's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he was puzzled: "How can this be?" You have relieved him of the danger of Nanzhao, and he also personally recommended you to be the envoy of Jiannanjie? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You don't understand, that's the quid pro quo I proposed, I will bring back the battle situation of Nanzhao for him, and in return he must recommend me as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu." We both wrote the agreement in black and white. I was fighting against the Xi people in Hebei Province, and he saw that I had a way of fighting, and at that time he was nepotistic, and the court and the central government were full of voices against him, and he found me when no one was available. ”

Li Fuguo pondered for a long time and said: "But no matter what, you are also the person he relies on now, and there is no reason for him not to pay attention to your words." ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. But there may be another way to go. ”

Li Fuguo hurriedly said: "What other way?" I would like to hear about it. ”
