Chapter 109 Wang Junkuo and the Turks

When Luo Yan arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Shimin was busy with a lot of government affairs.Although Li Shimin has not yet officially ascended to the position of prince, let alone Li Shimin is a prince, even if someone says he is an emperor at this time, it is worthy of the name.

On the other hand, Luo Yan can be said to be very idle these days.Anyway, Li Shimin didn't arrange any position for him before, and now that the matter of Xuanwumen is over, it is the former pen official, Luo Yan wants to do it, and Li Shimin feels embarrassed.But at this time, Piansheng didn't know what position to assign to Luo Yan, so he kept procrastinating like this.

Seeing that Luo Yan came in with a notification like this, Li Shimin also finished processing a memorial at hand, then looked up at Luo Yan, and asked: "Jinzhi has been leisurely these days, why don't you come and help me with some matters tomorrow? "It's clearly making fun of Luo Yan's idleness these days.

Under Li Shimin's command, the civil servants who rely more on him are busy these days.The handover of power, the preparation of the grand ceremony, and appeasing the people, and so on, Li Shimin sometimes felt that his subordinates were exhausted.Fortunately, there is a virtuous housemate like Changsun Wugou, if he ordered the family to make some nourishing dishes and soup, and sent them to these people, it would make these people more loyal.

"If His Highness orders you, I will certainly die. However, I did not come here today for these matters."

Luo Yan's character has always been to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Li Shimin has already gotten used to this lazy boy who has just been regarded as his core staff.So now the interest came, and he asked: "Then why are you here today? If it's a trivial matter, you can continue to follow Master Li to handle the paperwork tomorrow."

Li Shimin's words didn't scare Luo Yan, he looked around, Li Shimin understood, and sent him back.

After sitting down, Luo Yan said: "Your Highness must be delighted by Fu Zhu, the King of Lujiang?"

Li Shimin was confused when he said this sentence, he had never heard of any relationship between Li Yuan and Luo Yan, and suddenly he said this, and his tone was very serious, so Li Shimin didn't say anything at the moment, just looked at Luo Yan like this , waiting for Luo Yan to continue talking.In Li Shimin's heart, Luo Yan's unexpected words many times ended up with profound meanings, so at this time Li Shimin knew that there was something strange about this matter.

"Wang Junkuo is not trustworthy, Your Highness needs to be on guard."

At this time, Wang Junkuo was still a general that Li Shimin relied heavily on, so when Luo Yan said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but defend him: "Is there some misunderstanding in Jinzhi? How can it be unbelievable?"

"How much does Your Highness know about the King of Lujiang?" Luo Yan didn't answer Li Shimin's question directly, but suddenly asked Li Shimin how much he knew Li Yuan.

"Well, this person is younger than me. He has a cowardly personality. If he is not a civil servant, he will be a mediocre person." Although Li Shimin and Li Yuan do not have a deep friendship, Li Yuan's clan is actually There are not many people, so they still have some understanding of each other.

"Since this is the case, why did Li Yuan rebel when Wang Junkuo was in charge of military affairs?" Luo Yan asked after Li Shimin had finished speaking.

But Li Shimin still didn't understand what Luo Yan said, and continued: "Perhaps because he was afraid that he would be recalled to Chang'an and his life was in danger, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was out of town and had a large number of troops in his hands, so he wanted to take the opportunity to turn around."

"It's fine if it's someone else, but the King of Lujiang will not know who Wang Junkuo is. During this period of time, the military affairs of Youzhou are under the control of Wang Junkuo. If Wang Junkuo has the heart, he will directly capture King Lujiang and send him to Chang'an , the sage and His Highness will ask the crime, when will it be his turn to do such things. It wasn't at the Xuanwu Gate back then, either you died or I died."

Li Shimin was silent.It's not that he doesn't know what it means, it's just that he can't believe it for a while.After all, this is about a Duke, and it is a Duke who holds real power, so Li Shimin can't help but hesitate.After thinking about it, Li Shimin still said to Luo Yan: "I know about this matter. But remember, don't tell anyone about it. Those who already know, remember to keep silent."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, only four people know about this matter, and I have already greeted the other two, so don't worry about leaking it." Luo Yan was full of confidence.As for Cui Dunli and Cui Ying, even though they belonged to the Cui clan of Boling, they still knew what to say and what not to say in official circles.

Seeing Luo Yan's promise, Li Shimin put down Xinlai, and then said to Luo Yan: "Tomorrow, I will go to Master Li's place. The number of affairs in the royal residence has increased rapidly these days, and Master Li is really too busy." Luo Yan was a little confused when he said a word, and it was not a trivial matter that he agreed, so he didn't need to go to Li Xuandao's place.

Sure enough, Li Shimin had no bottom line.

In desperation, Luo Yan continued to be his unranked writer, but this time, no one in the palace looked down upon this seemingly frail scholar.

I found Li Xuandao the next day, and before I had a good chat, I was thrown over by a large pile of documents.As for the writers, there are two more Li Xuandao here. Of course, Qiu Xuan and another old man must still be there.

Seeing Luo Yan holding the document with resentment on his face at this moment, Qiu Xuan came over to strike up a conversation: "I already knew about the fact that Xiaoshu Luo showed great power at Xuanwumen, and I didn't expect to see Xiaoshu Luo today." Come, it's really a happy event." Qiu Xuan came here, naturally to curry favor with Luo Yan.

Since Luo Yan came, the two of them started hugging their thighs. Unexpectedly, after these few days, Luo Yan would be able to mix up to the same level as Li Xuandao.This made the two of them a little happy, secretly thinking that the thigh was not wrong.So at this time, chatting up a conversation is naturally extraordinarily attentive.

"Okay, no matter how much you show off your supernatural powers, you still have to be ordered by Master Li. You should hurry up and run errands. If you are free in a few days, you might as well go out for a glass of wine together. Now, you should do things obediently, otherwise Master Li If you get angry, you can't afford to wait." Luo Yan also couldn't live up to his kindness, so at this time, he naturally promised to befriend him appropriately in the future.

Seeing that Luo Yan had already promised, Qiu Xuan was overjoyed. Since Luo Yan had agreed to go out for a drink together, it meant that his flattery these days was definitely not in vain, and he happily went back to deal with the matter at hand.

The two newcomers, seeing Qiu Xuan so happy, also came over and asked: "Brother Qiu, is that really Luo Yan who killed King Qi outside the Xuanwu Gate that day?"

"That's not true. Secretary Luo has worked with me for several months, and we naturally pay attention to his every word and deed. I knew the news that he was going to Xuanwumen on the same day." Qiu Xuan and another person met I'm a little proud to say it.Who told them to follow Luo Yan in the first place, seeing Luo Yan make fun of Zhao Jian, and Li Shimin called him and Li Xuandao many times to discuss things together.

"School Luo is simply a role model for me and other scholars. It's nothing more than a good knowledge, and his martial arts are not bad, and his courage is even more extraordinary. That's King Qi, think about it, killing a prince, this kind of courage is in our hands. It is the only one among the scholars." The newcomer admired Luo Yan and said with emotion.

"That's right, although I and other scholars say that there are many soldiers who join the army, when killing people on the battlefield, most of them are enemy soldiers, so they will be killed. But Xiaoshu Luo killed the prince of the current dynasty, this is..." Qiu Xuan didn't dare to go Next say.

Anyway, Li Yuanji was also a prince, so he was slaughtered by Luo Yan. In fact, Shilin also criticized Luo Yan a lot at this time.

But Luo Yan at this time is not in the mood to care what Shilin thinks of him.Since the rain of guns and arrows before Xuanwu Gate, it is considered pretty good to be able to come back alive by chance. Now that the winner has been beaten, why bother with others.

However, at this time Luo Yan encountered a document that made him frown.No, it should be more than one, but several, but they all said the same thing-the Turks stationed troops outside the pass.

This is not good news.It's only July, but it's almost time for the autumn harvest.In previous years, when the Turkic harvest was not good, they always chose to come out here to plunder, regardless that it was only at this time that they would slowly gather their troops, and then go south in August and September to take the opportunity to plunder supplies.

But at this time, they had already stationed troops outside the pass, and the Turkic people wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the DPRK and China to blackmail them.

After collecting similar documents that he had read, and finding Li Xuandao, Luo Yan said: "Master, something big may happen."

Usually, Luo Yan looked lazy, or he was calm and calm, and didn't seem to care about anything, but today he suddenly looked so panic-stricken, Li Xuandao naturally couldn't take it lightly, and asked about the current affairs: "Such a panic, but something happened."

"Turks going south this autumn, I'm afraid something big will happen." Luo Yan said.

Matters concerning the Turks should never be regarded as small matters. Now Luo Yan is emphasizing that something big will happen, so Li Xuandao also pays more attention to it: "Tell me in detail."

"In the past, the Turks went south, or in late autumn, they plundered various parts of the country. Or in the early spring, when the food and grass were not enough, they would gather people to go south. Now there are reports from all over the country, saying that the various Turkic tribes have a tendency to gather, or that a certain place has already stationed troops. Outside the pass, they are defending instead of attacking. To act like this, there must be a big conspiracy." After taking a breath, Luo Yan continued: "What's more, the current court is in turmoil, and there are chaos everywhere. If we don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will be me. It’s going to be a tough fight again.”

This is not Luo Yan's alarmist talk.If the Turks were to make matters worse, Li Shimin would not only have to fight the Turks, but also face the chaos in various places. Even if he could secure the throne by then, it would take another ten years to regain stability.
