Chapter 28 Xue Wanche
Li Chengqian is living a pretty good life in Qianzhou now. Although he is not as rich as in Chang'an in the past, because of the greetings from Li Ke in the local area, the Qianzhou Governor's Office and the governor's office are very respectful to him. Except for the slight inconvenience in his actions, his life is very free.
Now Li Chengqian does not bear any expectations from anyone, so he takes his wife and children in Qianzhou and is naturally comfortable. But if he knows that Li Yuanchang and Chai Lingwu are planning this matter, he will be furious.
This is true for Li Chengqian, and probably Xue Wanche is the same.
The main reason why Chai Lingwu thought Xue Wanche was useful was the matter of his brother Xue Wanjun.
Therefore, Duke Xue Wanjun of Lu was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. He became famous before Xue Wanche and his reputation was even higher than Xue Wanche, but Xue Wanjun was very frustrated when he died.
In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin visited Furong Garden and used Xue Wanjun as a warning in the garden. However, Xue Wanjun was not good at acting effectively, causing idle people to get involved in the ban. Li Shimin was furious and sentenced Xue Wanjun to prison.
Although Xue Wanjun's actions were a crime, they were a famous general in the country and an old minister of Li Shimin's Tiance Prefecture. Li Shimin only punished him a little and did not mean to take Xue Wanjun's life. However, Xue Wanjun thought he was the founding Yuansu, and felt that this was a humiliating his identity. He was humiliated and died of worries and anger in prison.
Later, although Li Shimin felt that what he did was inappropriate and added more pensions to Xue Wanjun, it was the truth that he could not be resurrected by death. Xue Wanche often complained to others about Li Shimin and the court, which gave Chai Lingwu this feeling and judgment.
Just the day after they secretly discussed the matter, Chai Lingwu invited Xue Wanche into the mansion on the grounds of having a banquet at the mansion.
Xue Wanche has always been rough in his behavior and does not think too much about things. Moreover, it is common for generals in the army to invite each other to have banquets. He heard that Chai Lingwu had no doubt that he would have invited him, so he rode alone.
When Xue Wanche arrived at Chai Mansion, Chai Lingwu did set up a table, but there was no beauty on the table, nor was there a gambling table that Xue Wanche liked. Instead, there was a person that Xue Wanche never thought of - King Li Yuanchang of Han.
Although Xue Wanche acted recklessly and carelessly, he was not a fool to be able to do this step today. Li Yuanchang was the prince who released the country. Even if Huazhou and Yongzhou were adjacent to each other, as long as Li Shimin's imperial edict was not allowed to take Huazhou, Li Yuanchang could not take Huazhou at all. What Li Yuanchang did was definitely a big taboo.
If someone else saw the scene in front of him, he might turn his head and leave, but Xue Wanche and Chai Lingwu had a close relationship. Xue Wanche has always been bold again. He did not leave, but sat down and asked Li Yuanchang, "How could the King of Han be here?"
Li Yuanchang replied with a smile: "I have something important to discuss with the general."
Xue Wanche asked in confusion: "I am not familiar with the King of Han, what important things can I discuss with me?"
Xue Wanche spoke, and there was a bit of arrogance in his words. This arrogance was not something that Xue Wanche was prepared for and deliberately did it, but because Xue Wanche has always been like this.
Xue Wanche is a famous general and has made great achievements in military affairs. At the same time, this person is quite arrogant. Not only does he treat his subordinates, but sometimes he can't help but lose his etiquette when talking to the prime minister and is often impeached.
If you count the details of this world, Xue Wanche was convinced and only four people were willing to be low and small in person. One was Emperor Li Shimin, the other was Crown Prince Li Ke, and the other was Li Jing. The remaining one was the late prime minister Wei Zheng who once said that he had saved his life. Obviously, Li Yuanchang was not among them.
Li Yuanchang was not angry at Xue Wanche's reaction. Li Yuanchang said to Xue Wanche: "I came to see the general to save the general's life. The general is a famous general of the world. Seeing that the general is in trouble, I just couldn't bear it."
"What does King Han mean?" Xue Wanche asked in surprise.
Li Yuanchang said: "Your Majesty is infected in Liaodong, but he has no choice but to know the news that the army is still in the court."
As the general of the Right Martial Guard and a third-rank official in the court, Xue Wanche is naturally well-informed. How could he not know about Li Shimin's infection class?
Xue Wanche said: "What does your majesty's illness teacher have to do with my life? You can't blame me for this."
Li Yuanchang said: "The General is in Chang'an. Your Majesty naturally cannot blame the general for the illness, but what about the prince? Your Majesty was sick and fainted for a while. It must be difficult to manage the government. At that time, the prince will still rule the country. Even Your Majesty may directly pass the throne. It will not be a matter of one or two days if the prince becomes a member of the prince. Once the prince ascends the throne, will there be a foothold of the general in this court?"
Xue Wanche is not a patient person. After listening to Li Yuanchang's words, Xue Wanche felt his scalp numb after thinking for a moment. Li Ke is the prince, and his military achievements are better than him, and his martial arts are probably not inferior to him. He dares not be disrespectful to Li Ke, but Xue Wanche has always been arrogant to others, but he has never had a good relationship with the people in the East Palace, especially Cen Wenben and Su Dingfang.
When Li Ke was in charge of the northern land and destroyed Xue Yantuo, Li Ke took Su Dingfang as the second best, and ranked only below Li Ji, and was above Xue Wanche. However, Xue Wanche relied on his merits and fought with Su Dingfang, and even almost fucked and offended Su Dingfang first.
Later, when discussing merits in the court, Prime Minister Cen Wenben once again ranked Su Dingfang above Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanche blushed with Cen Wenben in public and offended Cen Wenben.
Cen Wenben and Su Dingfang, these two men were the first to join Li Ke’s subordinates, and Cen Wenben was Li Ke’s mentor. Xue Wanche guilty them and convicted the Eastern Palace. Although Li Ke did not make things difficult for him, he would not be able to live in the court in the future.
Xue Wanche said: "Your Majesty is just a disease, it's okay for a while. It's too early to say this."
Li Yuanchang said: "I received the news that Your Majesty suddenly deteriorated on his way back to the capital, and he fainted and did not wake up for several days. However, the prince had ordered Li Ji and Li Daozong to suppress the matter, so everyone did not know that the prince was to take this opportunity to ascend the throne in Luoyang. Once the prince ascends the throne and passes on the world and returns to Chang'an, the general will have to sit and wait for death."
Li Ji was the chief of the Bingzhou Governor's Office who had been for Li Ke for several years. He was the old subordinate of Li Ke. Li Daozong also had a good relationship with Li Ke. If Li Shimin was seriously ill and coma, what Li Yuanchang said was not impossible.
Xue Wanche asked with some concern: "What should I do according to the Han King's intention?"
Li Yuanchang said: "I, General Chai and General Chai are all unwilling tolerate the prince. We want to raise an army to resist in the capital, and we will make Prince Chengqian the new emperor, guard Tongguan, and divide the rule with Li Ke from the east and west. At that time, the general will be a hero of Long and a title of prince. Wouldn't it be a beautiful general?"
Xue Wanche was very smart when he was marching and fighting, but he was usually very confused. Now it was obviously Xue Wanche was confused. Xue Wanche listened to Li Yuanchang's words and believed him and asked with some heartbeat: "Captain Chengqian agrees with this matter?"
