I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 233 Compete!

"Opportunity?" Liu Long looked at Zheng Jian in front of him and tilted his head slightly. He did not reply immediately. Instead, after a while, he spoke slowly under the nervous look of the other party.

"What opportunity do you want?"

"The minister is the last general."

It could be seen that Zheng Jian was really nervous. Now faced with Liu Long's question, he didn't know what to say for a while.

You know, he had already made a lot of preparations before coming back.

But really when he got to this point, everything became a little different.

Looking at Zheng Jian who started to stutter when he spoke, Liu Long felt a little more disappointed in his heart, but now that he dared to come here late at night.

Then Liu Long would not give him this opportunity at all.

"Come on!"

"only!"

"Please step back a little. No one is allowed within fifteen steps of my tent."

"only!"

After the guards outside the tent were ordered to retire, the area around the tent was soon cleared.

Fifteen steps would not allow the sound inside to be transmitted outside, and at the same time it could ensure Liu Long's safety.

Of course, this safety does not include whether Zheng Jian will suddenly assassinate Wang Shajia.

Seeing Liu Long "trusting" him so much, Zheng Jian, the big man's lieutenant general, finally suppressed his nervousness at this time.

Looking at Liu Long in front of him, he knelt down again, and then under Liu Long's frown, he opened his mouth like a barrage of words.

There were a lot of words, and what Zheng Jian said was very messy, but fortunately, although the words this guy said were a bit unclear due to nervousness, they were still understandable.

Simply put, this guy is here to cause trouble.

Of course, they are not here to cause trouble for Liu Long, but to complain to Geng Kui!
According to Zheng Jian, although Geng Kui, the governor of Liaodong, did not dare to say that he did not do any of the ten evil things, he was pretty close to it.

Geng Kui's family history is very simple. Liu Long and others have been talking about his family background before, which is more or less unfair to him. After all, this guy has nothing but family background.

There is another identity, that is Su Yihou!

He did not inherit the title of marquis from the Geng family, but actually earned the title of marquis himself.

At that time, he followed the cavalry general Dou Xian and served as Dou Xian's fake commander. He accompanied the army to attack the Northern Huns and defeated the Northern Huns.

After that, he followed Sima Renshang to attack the Northern Huns again and defeated them again.

Relying on these two meritorious deeds, Geng Kui got the opportunity to become a marquis as he wished.

Of course, it is correct to say that Geng Kui relied on his family background. After all, although he had some merit in these two times, his credit was not too great.

Moreover, Geng Kui was not the only general who participated in both wars. In the end, Geng Kui was granted the title of Marquis, while most of the others still received official positions.

This is more or less due to the Geng family.

But with such a family background, no one can say anything about where he was reincarnated and how he got to where he is now step by step.

And he is not without merit in these years. For example, when he first served as the governor of Liaodong, it was the first year of Yuanxing.

When the Qian people and Gao Gouli invaded, Geng Kui single-handedly defeated them, which was also his credit.

Liu Long still had the impression that a group of people offered him a reward, but his father rejected it.

As for what Geng Kui did in this war, to be honest, it was a bit unjustifiable.

That's why people couldn't help but think of his family background, and until this incident happened, Liu Long couldn't accept it at all.Liu Long knew all this, but now according to Zheng Jian, the lieutenant general, Geng Kui was not like this.

"That Geng Kui seems to be a famous general of my great army, but in fact he did it all with the support of his family and his support to his relative, the Dou family!
Dou Xian was arrogant and domineering back then. Although he had many achievements, after all, this guy almost caused an uproar when he openly sent people to assassinate Liu Chang, the Marquis of Duxiang.

Moreover, the matter between the Dou family and the late emperor was a taboo matter for the Han Dynasty.

In order to seize power, the late emperor had dealt with the Dou family, but he did not want to let go of anyone who had a definite relationship with the Dou family.

And Geng Kui was directly dismissed from office back then. If it weren't for the support of the Geng family behind the scenes, he would be almost the same as his eldest brother now.

At this time, Zheng Jian seemed to be trying to prove something.

Directly describe how Geng Kui tried to please Dou Xian, how he helped the tyrants, and how he was greedy and took credit.

There are many unknown things that were revealed one by one.

Listening to Zheng Jian's words, Liu Long's expression became darker and darker.

Didn't he say that he was a little angry at what Zheng Jian said, but he was completely angry at Geng Kui.

It was because he heard many things from these words.

There are many things that should never be known from the frontier soldiers.

"All right!"

Just when Zheng Jian was talking and his mouth was dry, Liu Long finally interrupted his words, and in an instant, Zheng Jian turned into that cautious look again.

"Your Majesty, what I just said is true. This Geng Kui is extremely domineering and bullies his colleagues repeatedly with his own posture.

With him in the borderland, my borderland will be so chaotic!
The general is brave, I hope your majesty can see clearly the faces of these villains, and give the general, these frontier soldiers and countless people a chance!
General, thank you Your Majesty! "

After Zheng Jian finished speaking, he kowtowed directly to Liu Long again. Listening to the dull voice, Liu Long fell silent.

He didn't answer immediately, but said again that he already knew.

Then let Zheng Jian leave directly.

Zheng Jian seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Liu Long's appearance, he finally did not dare to say anything and could only stand up and say goodbye silently.

But after this guy left, Liu Long couldn't sleep at all.

Everyone became somewhat silent.

The bamboo slip in his hand creaked even more when he held it.

"Come on!"

"only!"

"Go and find Liang Jin, the general from Liao Dynasty.

In addition, go and send Sima Geng Pu and Liu Zhi. That's all, don't call them Geng Pu.

Invite Liu Sima over and say that I have something important to discuss. "

"only!"

In the dead silence, several people summoned by Liu Long quickly came to him.

Looking at Liu Long, who was silent and somewhat gloomy, Liang Jin and others did not dare to say anything.

In the end, Liu Long himself repeated what had just happened, and then slowly raised his head and looked at the people in front of him.

"General Du Liao, Liu Sima, did you hear what I just said?
How much truth do you think these words have, and how much falsehood do you think? "
