The eldest grandson Shunde was dressed in a light cloth robe, coupled with that cautious attitude, he could not show that he was from the Guanlong clan at all, and he was trusted by Li Yuan before and held the important position of commanding the army. And just secretly defected to Chen Kefu, and immediately made a great achievement. He cautiously took a step behind Chen Kefu, bent down slightly, and didn't dare to get too close to him. "King Chen killed the criminal minister, the criminal minister defected late, and almost put King Chen in danger, and the minister was still afraid when he wanted to come. Sinners only have faults, how dare they take credit. ”

"Uncle Cong, don't say that, if it weren't for your reminder today, it would be more than one Wang Shichong who fell at the dinner, and those who went out sideways would have to add me Chen Kefu." Chen Kefu held the hand of the eldest grandson Shunde, and did not call him an official position, but directly called him uncle according to the relationship of innocence. "Uncle Cong not only saved my life, but also thwarted the conspiracy of Li Yuan's father and son, and helped to relieve a crisis. This kind of merit is seen by all, and no one can fail to appreciate it. ”

"The criminal only hates the previous hesitation and the late defection, and he does not dare to take credit for this." The eldest grandson Shunde repeated it urgently, without the slightest look of joy on his face.

The Secret Service Division once made a detailed investigation of many civil ministers and military generals under Li Yuan in Hedong, and then made a summary and sent it to Chen Kefu. Among Li Tang's ministers, Pei Lian, who was born in a big family in Hedong, still has a relationship with Li Yuan and has always supported Li Yuan, so he naturally ranks first. And the second is Liu Wenjing. In addition to the two top strategists, the rest are the eldest grandson Shunde, Tang Jian, Dou Wei brothers, Wen Daya brothers, Chen Shuda and others. The eldest grandson, Shunde, is among these people. And it is also very trusted by Li Yuan.

The eldest grandson Shunde was born in the Guanlong aristocracy, his ancestors were officials for generations, and he himself received a lot of good education since he was a child, and he was able to write and martial arts. Although he is not as good as Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing, he is not as good as Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others. But those who can do both, there are few people in Li Tang's army who are out of the right. And Chen Kefu knows better than others. The eldest grandson, Shunde, is indeed a capable person, ranking fifteenth among the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Although Li Tang's top civil and military generals at the end of the Sui Dynasty were only a part of the entire world at that time. Those top civil and military generals in other forces have not been able to leave their names in history. Not worse than them, just didn't become the final winner. But time has also tested these capable ministers of Li Tang, they are indeed the heroes of the world.

Chen Kefu stepped forward with him, and smiled at Zhang Zhongjian and the others, "This king is here to introduce to you, this is Zhang Zhongjian, the marshal of my sailor, and this is General Guo Xiaoke, who commands the heavy cavalry." This is General Lu Shishen, an old subordinate of this king. And these people here are also the young and brave generation in our army. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde hurriedly stepped forward to greet the generals, "The prestige of the generals has been heard of in the morning, and when I saw it today, it is really a blessing for three lives, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

Everyone also smiled and got up to salute back, "Fortunately, fortunately." ”

After seeing the ceremony, Chen Kefu walked directly to the top with his eldest grandson Shunde's hand. Have them sit on their bottom left.

Such a courtesy made the eldest grandson Shunde both excited and slightly uneasy.

Chen Kefu looked at him and secretly said satisfied in his heart. He treated Changsun Shunde like this, not just because he was the uncle of Changsun Wuji, nor was it all because of his secret letter report tonight. Those are only secondary, the real reason is the current position of the eldest grandson Shunde.

Although the eldest grandson Shunde fell to his side. But everything was still carried out in secret, and no one on Li Yuan's father and son's side found out. In two days, Li Yuan's father and son will die, and the plan to plan Hedong will go further. As soon as Li Yuan's father and son died, only a few concubines of Li Yuan in Taiyuan and Shangdang were left in the entire Li Tang. There are also some members of the Li family. He had to make sure that they all ended up coming to him, and not that they were all subjugated to others. …,

Li Tang's heavyweights, except for Li Shentong, Li Daozong and other Li clan generals who are still in Taiyuan, the others have all been here. Once Li Yuan's father and son died, it was impossible for him to let Pei Lian, Tang Jian and others return to Hedong. At that time, if the eldest Sun Shunde is sent back to Hedong, it will be important to control the remnants of the Li family and seize Hedong.

Chen Kefu took out a handscroll from several and handed it to the eldest grandson Shunde with a smile.

The eldest grandson took it with some confusion and opened it, and then there was surprise, and even more uneasiness.

That handscroll was Chen Kefu's reward for him, and he was immediately appointed as the Huangmen Shilang of Menxia Province, and was promoted to the title of Marquis of Taiyuan County, with 3,000 stones of actual food and 5,000 acres of land. and gave his mother and wife a first-grade order, and Yin's two sons and seven-rank military attaches, and transferred to the Imperial Forest Iron Guard on duty.

What a glory it is to seal a wife and a son, to be an official and a knight, and to reward Tian Jialu. The eldest grandson Shunde knew what he was doing, although he reminded Chen Kefu, but he believed that even without his reminder, Chen Kefu would have been prepared. But for such a thing, he was crowned a county marquis. He knows the title of Hebei, and he can't be knighted unless he has made great contributions, and there are many titles in Hebei, and under his county marquis, there are a full seven levels of knighthood. As soon as he came, he was promoted straight to the eighth level of the county marquis, and this honor was too high.

Even if he is Princess Chen's uncle, he can't afford such a reward. The more rewards you give, the more troublesome things may be.

Holding the handscroll, he knelt down in fear and asked for his resignation, "The minister has no merit, and he really doesn't dare to accept such a reward from King Chen." Merit rewards have always been strictly fixed. The minister is a newcomer, and he is a member of the princess's clan, so he does not dare to set this precedent. ”

Seeing him so cautious, Chen Kefu became more and more satisfied, and helped him get up with a smile. "Lord Eldest Sun really doesn't need to be too much, this time the reward is indeed more generous than usual. However, this is not just to reward you for your previous achievements, but the court has an important task entrusted to you to do, so this king simply sealed the reward of that task first. After the task is completed, the king will not be sealed again. Hearing this, the eldest grandson Shunde was both relieved and a little worried, he could take the county marquis as a rewarding task, but I was afraid that it would not be easy. However, since he has chosen to belong to Hebei, he can only take one step at a time.

"But I don't know what King Chen commands, and the minister will not give up."

Nodding, Chen Kefu said, "Here's the thing, in a few days, there will be some changes here, and Li Yuan's father and son will not be alive again." Therefore, this king has been thinking for a long time, and plans to let you take some of Li Tang's civil and military subordinates here to transport the coffins of Li Yuan's father and son back to Hedong. Go to the party first, and then go to Taiyuan. not only helps to take care of the aftermath, but also is responsible for the communication between the imperial court and the disabled forces of the Li family. ”

"In a few days, the Li family's father and son will die?" The eldest grandson, Shunde, was shocked inexplicably.

Guo Xiaoke said loudly, "At today's banquet, Li Shimin wanted to poison and murder King Chen, but he never imagined that at the banquet, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had already drunk the three-day poisoned wine he used to murder King Chen. After today, there are still two days left, and Li Yuan's father and son will die. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look at Chen Kefu.

Chen Kefu nodded, "That's the way it is, if he is unkind, I will be unjust." As soon as Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng died, his four sons were also gone. Next, only the fifth son, Li Zhiyun, the Duke of Chu, will be the elder. However, Li Zhiyun is only twelve years old, so this king hopes that you can return to Hedong and support Li Zhiyun as the new head of the Li family, so that he can inherit the title of Tang King. Remember, the Li family must not be allowed to regain their own independence or switch to others. It's a very difficult thing, but that's the only way to do it for now. In a few days, I will leave Pei Lin and other subordinates loyal to Li Tang behind, and the rest can only rely on you. ”

"As soon as Li Yuan's father and son die, the Li family now only has Li Shentong and Li Daozong with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to control it at that time." The eldest grandson Shunde said worriedly. …,

"As long as you stabilize the situation in Hedong for about half a year, the imperial court will be able to draw troops and horses west into Hedong. Until then, it's all up to you. When you arrive in Hedong, you can contact Wang Rengong and ask him to cooperate with you if necessary. Chen Kefu said lightly, but his words were non-negotiable.

"Yes, the minister." The eldest grandson Shunde responded. He already understood that this was his only way out. After the matter is done, he is the Marquis of Taiyuan, the descendant of the princess, and the future is promising. If things go wrong this time, it is estimated that there will be no future.

Chen Kefu got up with a smile, "This time I wronged my uncle, and when the matter is completed, this king will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for my uncle and hold a banquet to celebrate his achievements." But before that, I have to be wronged that you are not allowed to reveal your identity for the time being, and continue to return to the Li family. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde nodded, saluted Chen Kefu again, and retreated out of the cabin.

"Your Highness, isn't it a bit risky to entrust him with such an important matter?" Lu Shishen looked at the somewhat heavy background of the eldest grandson Shunde and said.

"We have already taken ninety-nine steps in the matter of Hedong, and we must not make another mistake at the last step. The eldest grandson, Shunde, is capable, and he has won Li Yuan's trust in the past, so it is appropriate to send him back. What's more, he is still an innocent uncle, and now that he has belonged to us, there is already a golden light in front of him, is it possible that at this time, he will turn back and sit on the half-sunken broken ship of the Li family? Chen Kefu said lightly.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a guard whispered a few words to Chen Lei at the cabin door.

"Your Highness, the person who interrogated Fang Xuanzao came to report, he couldn't hold it anymore. He had a message sent to His Highness, and he was willing to surrender. Chen Lei stepped forward to report.

"Hahaha!" Lu Shishen and the others laughed when they heard this, Fang Xuanzao surrendered so easily, which made them more and more disdainful of this person. Chen Kefu, holding a wine glass and smiling without saying a word, as early as when he caught Fang Xuanzao, he had already seen that Fang Xuanzao was just a literati who was afraid of death. Now he is willing to surrender honestly, which is what he wants, and he is still using it to his place.
