Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 682

There is only one most direct channel for promotion in the official career. For most people who have no background or do not fit in with others, this is a shortcut to the end. Wealth and glory often lie in sacrificing one's life.And the East Palace has an unwritten rule that anyone who has made special meritorious service will be rewarded by the court. On the one hand, the crown prince will also award him a heavy reward to encourage him to make new achievements.

Therefore, for most officials of the East Palace, making meritorious service can not only make them famous, but also bring their lives to a higher level, so everyone strives to be the first.As for the danger and so on, it is not in the scope of consideration. Why is there no danger? You may choke to death when you eat!
On the official road leading to Luoyang, there is a heavily guarded marching team. The leader of this team is the prince Zuo Shuzi-Xu Jingzong. His task is very simple. .

When it comes to the method of arresting Liu Shu, Xu Jingzong took great pains. He was an official in the former Sui Dynasty, and he had heard of Liu Shu's deeds to some extent. If you catch this old fox before, how can you do it without spending a lot of money.

Immediately, taking advantage of the opportunity that Li Daoxing and Shan Daoxin had already been exposed, Laiji and Laizheng led the guards to ask for punishment in the name of unfavorable business affairs and long-term lack of merit. The local government soldiers tried their best to encircle and suppress the bandits.

Eager to make meritorious deeds, "Marshal Xu" dreamed of becoming the reincarnated Kong Ming, and went to the front line to command in person, intending to wipe out the banditry in one fell swoop and get a reward from the court.Under his underestimation of the enemy, not only did he not succeed in suppressing the bandits, he even lost two county towns, and people surrounded him in a small village. The situation was at stake.

Just when everyone thought that the favorite of the East Palace should commit suicide, this guy surrendered without bones, and beheaded Laiji himself, and came to punish the two brothers, beheading them as his own Jin Dynasty. Body gift.

Xu Jingzong is a person with a criminal record. During the turmoil in Jiangdu during the Daye period, he betrayed his own father just to survive. Now it is not surprising that he came out of the East Palace to survive, so Liu Shu accepted Xu Jingzong's surrender with suspicion. sincerity.

In order to confirm his sincerity, he asked some questions about the East Palace, and Xu Jingzong's answers to these questions made him very satisfied, which was consistent with some known inside information, which made him slightly dispel the doubts in his heart. It's useless to let someone kill this spineless guy.

Now that the matter of Shenzhou has been won, there is no need to spend it here anymore. Before getting up and turning around, he specially ordered his subordinates to take the opportunity to take down Shenzhou and give a big gift to Li Shimin who is going to hold a birthday banquet. After he knew the situation of Shenzhou's fall in front of Wan Guo, he wondered if he could drink that cup of birthday wine.

Liu Shu knew very well in his heart that even if he won Shenzhou, he would not be able to defend it, but if it could add trouble to Li Shimin and make him lose face, it would still be worth the cost, wouldn't it?
Just when he received the news that Shenzhou City was already on the verge of collapse, when he was full of ambitions and held a celebration banquet in a deep mountain in Tangzhou, Xu Jingzong slipped away while he was relaxing his vigilance. It was a large number of Tang troops who appeared at the foot of the mountain.

After careful investigation, it turned out that it was General Huaihua-Qin Huaiyu who led the left guard and [-] troops to surround him to death, and the vanguard turned out to be Lai Ji and Lai Zheng brothers.Liu Shu, the god of recovery, yelled at Xu Jingzong as a bastard on the mountain, ruining his decades of business management.

Of course, what he didn't know was that on the second day after he was surrounded, the bandits in Shenzhou were attacked by a large number of Tang troops, and the commander in charge was General Zuo Xiaowei - Su Dingfang.

In just three days, Qin Huaiyu led his army to break through the stronghold, captured Liu Shu alive, and Xu Jingzong, who was a villain, showed his power in front of him, tossing those backbones under him desperately, and managed him for decades The relationship network was dug clean at one time.

Alas, at this time, the gray-haired Liu Shu felt remorseful. He really should have cut off the snake's head immediately, otherwise how could he end up as a prisoner?

Hearing Liu Shu say that he is a poisonous snake, Xu Jingzong not only didn't get angry, but even laughed, and then told him an allusion that the crown prince told him - the farmer and the snake, which made Liu Shu, who was satisfied with swear words, speechless.

To lose is to lose, the king loses, the loser has no right to make too many excuses, there are not so many ifs in this world, and there is no place to buy regret medicine. .
The journey was boring, so Liu Shu asked Xu Jingzong about the prince. He was more interested in the prince than the emperor. After all, he lost at the hands of such a young man, how could the mature Liu Shu be reconciled.

Moreover, he doesn't know his opponent so well, and the things he knows about the East Palace are even more trivial. He is not afraid of losing his head at his age, but he doesn't want to be a fool!
After a while, after pouring two mouthfuls of water with a water bag, Liu Shu, who was leaning in the prison car, said lightly: "This Li Chengqian is really a strange person. As a prince, he doesn't study the way of governing the country with peace of mind in the palace, but he likes it. Li Shimin doesn't know how to discipline him if he is with the dog-butchers? Such a person is probably less reliable than Yang Guang when he becomes an emperor in the future. Why do you, Tang Dynasty, want to follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty?"

Hehe, after a few dry laughs, Xu Jingzong replied with a smile: "My Highness said that there are more people who slaughter dogs in righteousness, and more scholars who are ungrateful. After being together for a long time, he was afraid that he would degenerate. However, it seems that there is no need to worry about what the seniors are worried about. Not to mention His Highness's deep support and friendship with the lieutenant generals, it is said that he is very happy with simple meals and simple meals. For several years, just to remind himself to cherish people's power, Yang Guang can't do this!
There is a picture hanging in His Highness's study room, the lower official thinks it is very reasonable, a porridge and a meal should be hard-won, half a thread, half a thread, and the constant memory is struggling. .”

Well, Liu Shu stroked his gray beard, squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, there is a unicorn in the family, Li Shimin doesn't look very good, but he is really blessed, if the Yang family can have such descendants, how can the second generation die? Death, even a national player like him has no power to recover.

"Xu Yanzu, the old man was very interested in that little thing at first, but now he is even more interested after hearing what you said. Hey, you have been told that the old man really wants to meet him in Luoyang soon, It can be regarded as living up to the agreement with him.”

"Don't worry, senior, my Highness will not disappoint you. He is far more interesting than you imagined, or what the officials said." After finishing speaking, Xu Jingzong gave Liu Shu a meaningful look, and Xu Jingzong called The horse goes away. .
