"Sanlang seems to be quite worried about Hou Junji?" After Wu Shun and Helan Yueshi left, Wu Meiniang and Li Ke were still in the hall, and Wu Meiniang asked Li Ke.

Li Ke nodded and replied, "Yes, Hou Junji is rebellious and arrogant, and he is in conflict with me. I am worried that he will take revenge on the opportunity."

Wu Meiniang said in confusion: "Hou Junji is also a member of the army. With Sanlang's reputation in the army today, will he dare to do anything wrong?"

Li Ke said: "He was the Yuanming of Xuanwu Sect in the past. He has made great efforts from beginning to end in the Xuanwu Sect, so he was extremely trusted by his father. In this world, he did not even see the Medicine Master, let alone this king, in the eyes of his Hou Junji, I am just a prince."

Wu Meiniang said worriedly: "Will that brother be difficult for this trip?"

Li Ke replied: "Although Hou Junji is incompatible with me, I am the prince after all. He dares not do anything wrong on his face on the surface. He just hopes that his brother can be more cautious."

Wu Meiniang said: "The matter of the Western Expedition is not under Sanlang's jurisdiction, and Sanlang is indeed not convenient to investigate."

As long as Helan Yueshi did not leave Chang'an, Li Ke could still protect him, but he followed the army to the Western Regions. The so-called generals were not allowed to be ordered by the outside king. Gaochang State was four thousand miles away from Chang'an, and Li Ke was also out of reach.

Helan Yueshi and Wu Shun left, Li Ke and Wu Meiniang were still talking about the Western Expedition. Just a moment later, a disciple of the royal palace came to report that someone outside the gate called himself Liu Rengui and asked for a meeting outside the gate with the order of the King of Chu.

When Li Ke heard Liu Rengui asking for a meeting outside the door, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. After waiting for these days, Liu Rengui finally arrived. Li Ke ordered someone to lead Liu Rengui to the study room, and walked towards the study room by himself.

Officials often have confidential objects in their study, which is also extremely sensitive. Ordinary people must not be able to enter without permission. Li Ke specially ordered people to bring Liu Rengui into the study and speak, so naturally he would use it as a confidant.

Liu Rengui comes from the Liu family of the Central Plains. Although the Liu family is a wealthy family in the Central Plains and is also among the famous families, Liu Rengui is a concubine's son next to the Liu family. Although he has a blank name for a child of aristocratic family, he is not much better than the children of a farmer. His family is poor and he is also a poor family.

Liu Rengui was born in the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty. He was respectful and studious when he was young. He did not spend time studying in farming. He became famous in the countryside for his literary talent. However, although he was famous for his talent, his career has always been unhappy. Now he is almost a magistrate of Xianyang County.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the politics was clear and clear, and Li Shimin was even more eager to seek talented people. Most talented people could have some responsibilities, but Liu Rengui was special. Liu Rengui's career was bumpy, which was not entirely due to Liu Rengui's own reasons.

Liu Rengui entered the officialdom, and began to be promoted by Ren Gui, Duke Guanguo. At the beginning of the Wude year, Ren Gui, who was the ambassador of Henan Province, appreciated Liu Rengui's talent and recommended him to join the army in Xizhou. Liu Rengui began to enter the official career.

Ren Gui served Li Yuan very early and was also a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Rengui was highly appreciated by Ren Gui and should have helped him by noble people. He was young and promising, and his career was smooth. However, Ren Gui and Prince Yin Li Jiancheng had a good deal. Everyone in the court knew that Ren Gui was liquidated after Xuanwu Gate and transferred from the center. Liu Rengui was naturally the same as Ren Gui's subordinate.

In fact, Li Shimin's attitude towards Li Jiancheng's old subordinates was quite generous and peaceful. People like the famous Wei Zheng and Wang Gui were all entrusted with important tasks. However, even a small role like Liu Rengui was not attracted to Li Shimin's eyes, and local officials dared not use it lightly. This has only been wasted more than ten years and no improvement has been made.

If it were not for Li Ke's kindness, Liu Rengui's official fortune would be a successor in Zhenguan. It would be a matter of Gaozong's reign. Liu Rengui also knew his situation, so when he learned that Li Ke wanted to call him, he was extremely excited and puzzled.

The name of King Li Ke of Chu was well-known for Liu Rengui. From the initial Cen Wenben, Wang Xuance, to later Ma Zhou and Xi Junmai, all of them were famous. Liu Rengui naturally cherished and cautious about this opportunity.

"Subordinate Liu Rengui, pay homage to the Grand Governor." Liu Rengui followed his disciples into the study and said to Li Ke carefully.

Liu Rengui worked hard before he came to see Li Ke. Li Ke never liked to call him His Highness, but wanted to call him the Grand Commander General. The Sima of the Bingzhou Grand Commander Office, who was transferred by Liu Rengui, was a Chinese military official, so he naturally needed to call Li Ke and call him the Grand Commander General.

"Zhengsu (Liu Rengui's name) But I'm so waiting for me. I'm calling you before the New Year. You're just coming in spring, so it's too late." Li Ke had no airs and was different from what Liu Rengui had imagined. He came up and joked at Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui replied: "Although the subordinates were ordered by the Grand Commander, the affairs of Xianyang should not be abolished. The subordinates also came to the mansion to pay homage after clarifying the old things. I hope the Grand Commander will not blame him."

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's a good thing to do things right."

Liu Renguidao: "Thank you for your understanding."

Li Ke pointed to the seat in front of him and said to Liu Rengui: "It's all the hard way, let's sit first."

"No." Liu Rengui got the order and sat down in front of Li Ke as he said.

After Liu Rengui sat down, Li Ke continued to ask: "Can you know why I want to invite you to the mansion?"

Liu Rengui replied: "I don't know, so please let the Grand Governor make a clear statement."

Li Ke said: "I was appointed as the Grand Governor of Bingzhou and should have served in Hedong, but my mother and queen are new and my father lacks energy. Many things in the court, inside and outside the court, the father still needs my help, so I issued a special order to stay in Beijing. Although I can take care of all the affairs in the capital, the military affairs in Hedong will inevitably be inadequate, so I want you to come."

Liu Rengui listened to Li Ke's words and asked in confusion: "The Grand Governor is the prince's honor and commander of the Grand Governor of Bingzhou. He is ordered to govern the affairs of Hedong Bian. If he wants to hire people, there are countless people in the world who are willing to serve the Grand Governor. Why did the Grand Governor choose his subordinates?"

Li Ke was newly appointed as the legitimate son and had a high reputation. As long as he issued an order to entrust an imperial edict, there were many scholars in the world who were willing to serve him. Among these people, Liu Rengui was not outstanding. Why did Li Ke choose him? This is exactly what Liu Rengui has always been extremely puzzled.

Liu Rengui's ability Li Ke is very clear about who Liu Rengui is. More than ten years later, he will be in Liaodong, defeat Baekje, beat Goguryeo, defeat Silla, and use both of them to fight against the water. He is truly a latecomer. Of course, Li Ke needs to use such a person, but Li Ke cannot tell Liu Rengui like this.

Li Ke said: "Because I am appointed as the Grand Governor of Bingzhou, my Sima is to take charge of Taiyuan on behalf of me and the British Duke. However, Taiyuan is mixed with fish and snakes, royal families, noble families, powerful people, and all kinds of people in the Hu clan. I need someone with ability and strength to go there. It is true that my intention is to be with my king. I just don't know if you are willing to be my king's strength order?"

The strong order mentioned by Li Ke was that Dong Xuan, the Luoyang ruling who dared to block the princess's car frame during the Guangwu period of Han Dynasty and executed the princess's slaves. Dong Xuan was upright and did not fear the powerful. It was quite similar to what Liu Rengui did when he killed the commander of the Zhechong Duke Lu Ning in the past, so Li Ke said this.

Liu Rengui wasted more than ten years, so how could he not seize the opportunity at the moment? And Li Ke said it very clearly that he was assisting Li Ji in Hedong on behalf of Li Ke. Isn’t this the next Ma Zhou?

Liu Rengui immediately said: "For the great governor, he is willing to die for the great governor."
