Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Above the sea of ​​people with swords, guns and iron armor, the white clouds are unpredictable in the vast sky. Guo Shao said, "Duke Founder, I still feel that I have outlived you."

Li Chuyun's body suddenly became shorter again, and he couldn't see his whole face and eyes, but he looked really terrified. But after all, he is the Duke of the state, Li Chuyun did not lose his composure, but was speechless, maybe he is weaker than Guo Shao now.

At this time, Guo Shao said again: "The Liao people are besieging Liaoxi Fort in the northeast. In comparison, the Liao Kingdom deserves more attention from our court. After Li Gong stepped down as the commander of the Hexi Army, he took command again as the commander of the Liaoxi Army. He led troops to rescue Zhang Jiankui, and took the opportunity to wipe out the Khitan forces in the Liaoxi Corridor..."

"Ah!" Li Chuyun was so startled that he didn't lose his composure when he fell into extreme fear just now, but now the accident made him interrupt Guo Shao's words, "Your Majesty, do you want to re-grant the military power to the old minister?"

Guo Shao didn't answer his question, now that all the civil and military personnel are present at Xuande Gate, the emperor can't just talk nonsense and have fun?

"Minister..." Li Chuyun raised his head and looked at Guo Shao in a daze.

During the long silence just now, Guo Shao had already thought about many things. Although the centralized monarchy system has been in operation for countless centuries, the culture has not been completely emasculated at this time. If you want to keep a group of brave warriors to maintain a strong force, there will inevitably be some side effects, such as sometimes not very obedient... just like lively and energetic boys, they are usually more mischievous and disobedient to discipline. It is obviously more difficult to make the soldiers look like obedient and loyal servants, and at the same time make them brave.

Guo Shao still remembers the mutiny in Tokyo that year, and Li Chuyun and others followed him with the whole family in their hands. He is a person who remembers well, and he has shared joys and sorrows for so many years, so we can't punish Li Chuyun to death just because Li Chuyun didn't behave so obediently in a special period, right?

As long as he is still sitting here, Li Chuyun is not a threat.

Guo Shao still did not change his previous view: In this world, if only sincere, noble and selfless friends are used, then there are almost no talents available; tens of thousands of officials from hundreds of states from the central to local governments, can you ask everyone to be loyal to themselves?

In contrast, these old brothers may not be absolutely loyal, at least they are more reliable than ordinary people. Guo Shao is unwilling to do the stupid thing of reducing his wings.

He also weighed, after this incident, Li Chuyun's loyalty to him will be even more than before... It's like Yang Biao threatened him to stab him in the back, but Guo Shao saved Yang Biao on the battlefield. Will Yang Biao feel that he is weak and bully?

And Li Yuan'er, that woman foolishly waited for him for so many years, and gave birth to him a son. Guo Shao really didn't want to disappoint everyone.

Guo Shao reached into his bosom, took out a tattered piece of paper, and handed it to the eunuch next to him. The eunuch transferred the paper to Li Chuyun.

Guo Shaodao: "I don't care what you think, but what you do. I believe in Li Gong's heart, just like I believe in brothers who live and die together."

"Your Majesty!" Li Chuyun suddenly thumped his head on the floor tiles, holding the torn piece of paper in both hands, Ao Tao burst into tears. It's kind of funny for a big bearded man to cry like this.

Guo Shao waved his hand, "After gathering the Liaoxi Army, I ordered you to clean up those messy people in the country first!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence around, only Li Chuyun's whimpering sound remained. Guo Shao looked sideways, seeing that Fan Zhi's face had become bloodless. Guo Shao didn't say a word for a while, but felt that his energy was really low, so he called the eunuchs to come up and carried him away from Xuande Gate, ignoring other matters.

... Li Chuyun knelt on the Xuande Gate for a long time, and when Wei Renpu and others got up and left bored, he was still in a daze.

After a long time, he lowered his head and wiped his face with his sleeves, got up from the ground alone, and walked down the city. The guards on duty on the city wall quietly looked at him with sideways glances.

Li Chuyun left the imperial city and rode back home.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, his wife, concubine and four children all came over, and went up to ask if he was happy. Seeing them, Li Chuyun gradually felt better, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Sometimes when people reach a certain position, they seek to make progress not for greater desires, but for safety, so that there are fewer people who have the ability to control their own destiny. The emperor was so tolerant to his own people, so that no matter what happened, what else could threaten the status of the Li family? Li Chuyun felt very at ease, and even felt that as long as Guo Shao's position is safe today, everything about him will be safe!

Li Chuyun relaxed, feeling very tired, his head was in a mess due to the ups and downs of emotions, so he said: "Old man, please be quiet." Then he went to the study.

After sitting for a while, he took out the glued paper from his pocket. This paper was a letter from the Khitan people at that time. Li Chuyun tore it up, glued it back and sent it to Tokyo. He put it on the table, looking at it and thinking about it.

The emperor certainly didn't doubt that he would treason | the country, Li Chuyun went crazy to collude with the Liao country.

Li Chuyun speculated from the time of this letter that he was worried that the emperor's illness was related to the conspiracy of the Liao Kingdom, and after hesitating, he sent it back to Tokyo to remind the court...

And Guo Shao handed it back to Li Chuyun on the Xuande Gate, and said those words again, showing that the emperor understood Li Chuyun's heart... After all, he still hopes for the emperor's well-being, and he doesn't want to see the emperor being murdered. That's what it means.

Li Chuyun thought for a while, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and let out a long breath: Finally, he did something right!

He let out a long breath, and gradually became happier.

At this time, he heard a voice outside the door saying: "Leave it to the old man, don't bother you if you have nothing to do, the old man has something to discuss with Li Gong." It was Zhongli's voice.

Then a woman's voice said: "Yes."

Li Chuyun waited for a while, and sure enough, Zhongli came in with a teacup. Li Chuyun frowned and looked at him, feeling very dissatisfied in his heart, thinking that the level of this staff is also the same... I thought it was quite sophisticated before, but this time, it is far worse than Wei Renpu's gang of bureaucrats!

Zhongli put the teacup on the desk, and conveniently put the wooden tray on the back of the chair. He bowed and said, "Li Gong met the official family. What happened?"

Li Chuyun looked at Zhongli with displeasure: "Fortunately, the officials treat the old man kindly."

Zhongli nodded and said: "I guessed it, otherwise how could Mr. Li come back safely so quickly?"

Li Chuyun sighed and said, "Thinking about it now, I'm really ashamed, I just feel ashamed!"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "Mr. Li is not defending the official family, but the Fu family."

After hearing this, Li Chuyun remained silent, frowning in deep thought, as if he had settled down. Just as Zhongli said, what he was wary of was not the emperor, everyone came here together, Li Chuyun had no idea of ​​challenging the imperial power at all, but the Fu family... If the emperor is gone, he is really worried about the Fu family's power, even if he wants to be a loyal minister, he wants to take the initiative to do it himself, instead of entrusting the ups and downs of life and death to his opponent.

After a long time, he said: "Anyway, we did not do the right thing. Wei Renpu went through a storm and nothing happened. On the contrary, he gained a little more trust in the hearts of the officials."

Zhongli said: "The Fu family will not regard a civil servant as an opponent."

Li Chuyun was noncommittal, he always felt that he was careless in this matter, and there must be a more sophisticated approach. While thinking hard, he picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. He only felt that the tea had an unpleasant smell, so he put the teacup on the table and looked at it with a frown.

At this moment, Li Chuyun suddenly felt as if his throat was being bitten by many ants, and it was tingling and numb. He suddenly widened his eyes, turned his head to look at the teacup on the table, and pointed at Zhongli with his finger, but he was speechless! What the eyes saw also quickly turned black!

In the blurred vision, I saw Zhongli blushing, mad and sneering, laughing like crying.

Li Chuyun felt only strange and puzzled, the hand pointing at Zhongli was stiff, and his body gradually crooked...

... Li Chuyun's eyes, nose, corners of his mouth, and ears were bleeding black. His eyes are wide open, his eyes are bright, and he looks like he is dying, and he doesn't know why Zhongli hurt him until he dies!

Zhongli also stared at Li Chuyun in a daze, his old tears gradually flowed down, and coughed a few times patiently: "I can't wait for the day of revenge."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which it was written: You are ordered to get rid of Li Chuyun, make up for your mistakes, and seek peace for your relatives and friends.

He thought about it for a while, and he wanted to cover up the thing on his body, so he crumpled it up and swallowed it raw. It was not easy, Zhongli stretched his neck, and choked on tears.

At this moment, a voice from outside the door said: "Ah Lang, Ah Lang, there is someone posting a note to see you."

After a while, the people outside the door did not hear any response, so they went to the door to have a look. It was a servant in Tsing Yi, and when he saw Li Chuyun, the Duke of the State, lying on the ground, his seven orifices were like clouds! The servant was so startled that his eyes fell out!

"Help... help! Come, kill, kill!" The servant shouted in a crying voice, turning around and running away.

Zhongli glanced at the teacup on the table, brought it over, took a sip from the cup, and swallowed the paper ball hard. Not long after, he also had heart palpitations, his throat was uncomfortable, and he fell to the ground. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into pieces.

After a while, people came in one after another, first the servants with sticks. Everyone saw that the dignified founding father died like this! Everyone was terrified.

Then the eldest lady came with people, and when the lady saw Li Chuyun on the ground, she closed her eyes and fell straight to the ground. "Madam! Madam..." There was a mess in the study, some people went to help Li Chuyun's body, and some helped Madam.

Someone shouted: "Go and call the doctor!"

The entire Li Mansion was in chaos, with shouts and cries.
