Luoyang.

Dali Temple Prison, commonly known as Tianzhu.

The prisons detained here are criminal officials of the central court's departments and important criminals in the capital. As the Dali Temple, which was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was the highest judicial organ of the court and was in charge of the trial.

It is equivalent to the Supreme Court today, which is in charge of the trial of criminal cases. Serious criminal cases in various places must be handed over to Dali Temple for review in the end.

Dali Temple tried and judged the case, and the Ministry of Justice approved the case. When encountering major cases, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate were held for trial.

"Wang Junkuo, do you regret it?"

In the prison, the emperor wearing the sword of the emperor was looking at the disheveled Wang Junguo in front of him.

Wang Junkuo was not injured, but he was imprisoned in the prison for many days and was a serious crime of treason. He was not even allowed to visit his family. In fact, until now, Wang Junkuo's wife and children still don't know that something happened to him, and he was missing.

But staying in the dark prison, he could not eat well, drink well, sleep well, and his mental state was extremely poor. In this summer, he had not even taken a shower for many days and his body was sour and smelly.

Seeing the emperor, I could only smile bitterly.

These days, Wang Junkuo has actually regretted it more than once. He regretted it so much that he regretted it. But what's the use? At that time, he was so determined to revenge the emperor for taking his position as the commander of the clan. The fire had nowhere to be released, and it became stronger and stronger.

But I never thought about the outcome after the failure.

Now I understand, but it's too late.

"I regret it, but it's too late, right? When will I be executed, I just want to see my family, wife and children again."

His parents died when he was a child. His uncle raised him. Later, he went to sell horses and later joined Luo Cheng's army. He has come step by step to this day. These days, I suddenly feel that I am really too inflated as I recall the memories of the journey.

What else can you be satisfied with a poor orphan who can become a hero of the Lingyan Pavilion?

But I was fascinated by the moment.

"Is there any wine?" Wang Junguo asked the emperor.

"Get the wine and get the best wine." Luo Cheng waved, "Get a few more dishes."

The wine and food are delivered.

Luo Cheng personally poured Wang Junkuo a cup, "I'll have two drinks with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Junguo said bitterly.

"You and I have known each other for eight years, have you and my ministers?"

"Um."

Wang Junguo picked up the wine glass and drank it all. For eight years, after only following Luo Cheng for eight years, he eventually became a hero of Lingyan Pavilion and was awarded the title of Duke of Peng State.

"Eight years, but in the blink of an eye, it's also very long. In the past eight years, many brothers who have followed me have fallen on the road, and have not been able to see me ascend to the throne and sit on the throne of the emperor, nor have I enjoyed the joy of the heroes of the successful founding of the country."

"Compared with them, Wang Junkuo, your luck is good. It's really good. At that time, your group of thousands of people joined me, but among them, you, Li Junxian, Zhang Liang and Guo Xiaoke, are the most valued by me. They have developed the best in recent years, and you are far the highest official title than the three of them."

"You should be satisfied."

Wang Junguo smiled bitterly, and a line of tears couldn't help but slip.

"Yes, I should have been satisfied." Tears slid down my face into the corner of my mouth, very bitter.

After drinking a pot of wine, Luo Cheng called another pot, and both the king and his ministers were drunk.

Wang Junguo finally knelt in front of the emperor. He did not ask the emperor for forgiveness. He said he deserved to die. He just hoped that the emperor could forgive his youngest child.

"Please leave a seed for me, Wang Junguo. The child is not one year old. Please forgive him."

"What about you and other wives, concubines and children?" Luo Cheng asked with red eyes.

"I know I deserve to die, so I dare not ask for more."

Luo Cheng kicked him over and kicked him over.

"Bastard, I only remember these words at this time? You followed me to charge and die. There should be more than 10 or 20 scars on your body? You almost died in battle more than once. Now that I have achieved success, I have won this glory and wealth, but I don't know how to cherish them. Who are you going to give up? Is it difficult for you to fight for your own hard work?"

Wang Junkuo, a big man, was crying with tears in his face.

"I'm dead!"

"If you die in battle, your son can inherit the title of Duke Peng, and your wives, concubines and other children will be best taken care of. I will not forget them, and Daqin will not forget them, but now you are treasoned and die, who are you right?"

"Your Majesty, don't say anything more. Please give me another glass of poisonous wine, and I will apologize."

"A bastard, is it dead? Impossible!"

The emperor looked at this brother with red eyes and a little regretful. Luo Cheng was not the kind of person who enjoyed the country. This country was fought with countless brothers like Wang Junkuo. Everyone fought side by side and fought hard together, and shared their lives together for many times.

People have feelings, even if they study in the same dormitory for three or two years, they can become brothers. What's more, they are comrades who have fought side by side for eight years.

"Wang Junkuo, you made me rebellious. I felt so heartbroken when I heard it. I wanted to pick up the knife and chop you up. But then I thought about it, forget it, it's not worth killing you."

"Your Majesty, please kill me."

At this time, Luo Cheng had already stood up, "Wang Junkuo, I tell you that I will not kill you, and your rebellion will not be made public, and you and your accomplices will not be made public. I will decide to give you another chance. You will be stripped of the Duke of Peng State, and your portrait will be removed from Lingyan Pavilion. I will demote you to a seventh-rank lieutenant and sent you to Xu Shiji, the command of Andong Road, to make meritorious contributions. As for your wives, concubines and children, I will not make things difficult for them. Let them go with you and cherish this opportunity. This is what you have fought for me for eight years, but this is only one chance. If you have any thoughts you shouldn't have when you arrive at the guide, then there will be no chance."

Wang Junguo was shocked.

"His Majesty?"

"It's better to take care of yourself. Here we will lead five thousand miles, across the mountains and seas. Maybe we will never see you and my king and minister in this life."

"Your Majesty, I will die." Wang Junguo was already hoarse.

"Daifang County, five thousand miles away, just take it as a new start. The seventh-rank lieutenant started, and it has not yet been pacified. With your courage and ability, you will have the opportunity to make achievements. Perhaps in ten or twenty years, you may become the prefect of the Taifang."

Wang Junguo knelt on the ground, knocking his head again and again on the prison ground, his head covered in blood.

Luo Cheng couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned his head to leave.

People are not plants and trees. Even if they raise a dog themselves, they will feel deeply when they have been raised for eight years, not to mention that their monarch and ministers are comrades who have fought side by side for eight years.

Fortunately, Wang Junkuo had rebelled, but fortunately, he had not caused any bad results, so the emperor gave him another chance. He did not want Wang Junkuo to be the first founding hero who was killed by the Emperor of Qin himself.

Walk out of the prison.

The emperor went directly to the Privy Council and dealt with Wang Junkuo. Now he had to deal with another hero of Lingyan Pavilion Liu Wuzhou, but Luo Cheng did not intend to forgive Liu Wuzhou.

"Your Majesty should not forgive him so much. Wang Junkuo rebelled and the law should be killed. Your Majesty is so heavy that he is interfering with the legal system."

"Cao, this matter is over, don't mention it anymore." Luo Cheng interrupted Wei Zheng impatiently and walked forward with his head down. Wei Zheng had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, just for nothing.

As soon as the king and his minister entered the Privy Council, they saw the Privy Councilor Zhang Xutuo tell him some bad news with a serious expression.

"Gao Tansheng, a monk from Huairong County, Zhuo County, used the name of Maitreya Buddhism to deceive the people into chaos, seized Huairong County, built a Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom, called himself the Mahayana Emperor, and established a nun Jingxuan as the Queen of the Evil Losing, and made chaos everywhere in Zhuo County."

"The surrendered general Gao Kaidao caused rebellion in Shanggu County, proclaiming himself the King of Yan, and his reign was in Shixing. Now many Shanggu Kings must pull out their old horse thieves to respond."

"There are also the old subordinates of Dugu in the Northern Plain who also took the opportunity to make trouble."

The north was completely in chaos. From Jiuyuan to Peiping, the northern border was more than a thousand miles long, and the beacon was everywhere. Yundingxing surrendered and rebelled again. Guo Zihe, the general of the Liang army, rebelled again. Liu Wuzhou rebelled, Dou Jiande surrendered to the Turks. Now Gao Tansheng, Gao Kaidao and others came again.

"It seems that the world is really hard to be peaceful."

"Your Majesty, Dingxiang is in danger. Li Yuan sent Chai Shao to lead 100,000 Tang troops to Jiuyuan. After Gao Kaidao and Gao Tansheng rebelled, they both surrendered to the Turks, which allowed Dou Jiande to use the road to cross Taihang and to Dingxiang to encircle General Siye."
