"I heard that you and Yan Shigu are close friends?"

"yes!"

After Xue Wanche, who was struck by pig manure, was carried back, Li Hongru burned his hands with the Southern Ming Dinghuo, removed the stench on his hands, and then stepped back to the palace.

In the Tai Chi Hall, he once again had a royal private banquet.

However, compared with the previous Emperor Tang, the emperor and empress, the crown prince and the crown prince, the only private banquets at this time were Emperor Tang and the new crown prince.

The new prince seemed a little restrained, but he only ate small bites of ingredients that were not very large.

Emperor Tang held the chopsticks and looked at Li Hongru, who was specializing in picking good dishes, knocked the other party's hand with the chopsticks, and then asked a question.

"Yan Shigu died of illness on the way!"

"yes!"

"Do you hate me for summoning him to the Kingdom of Juli?"

Halfway through the meal, Emperor Tang asked a question.

This made Li Hongru swallow the food in his mouth.

"People always die, it's just a matter of time. It's great that they can sacrifice their lives for the country," Li Hongru and Tao.

"It seems you have some hatred in your heart!"

Emperor Tang put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed deeply.

"I am old, and the people who follow me are old, and some of them have left!"

It was normal for Emperor Tang to recruit Yan Shigu and others more than ten years ago.

Yan Shigu's age is only ten years older than Emperor Tang.

This age difference is normal in the Legion.

Emperor Tang was old, and Yan Shigu and others were even older.

This was a conquest launched by a group of elderly people, and the sixty-year-old Yuchi Gong also went there.

If you change your age, it would be extremely normal to recruit Yan Shigu.

"I have hung twenty-four paintings in Lingyan Pavilion. If you need it, you can also go and see those old guys I used to!"

Emperor Tang casually said something.

This emperor likes to keep an eye on him in advance.

If it weren't for using the twenty-four pictures in advance from Yan Liben, Li Hongru would not have known the importance of the twenty-four paintings of Lingyan Pavilion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is an important reward.

Emperor Tang's tone seemed too light, as if it was really just nostalgic. If the person who didn't know about it would really think he would go to see some paintings.

He immediately responded solemnly.

"My people are old," said Emperor Tang: "One old people are slowly leaving me, and the same is true for Shigu."

Emperor Tang looked at Li Hongru and looked at the other party's extremely clear eyes.

"He read a lot of books, but he never reads people. Once I promoted him, he made mistakes because of his own personality."

"I have been promoted repeatedly, Shi Gu has been removed from office, and his official position has become lower and lower."

"But Shigu never hated me, he only remembers what I gave him!"

He was able to annotate the "Book of Han" and contributed classics in the library and the library secretary's pavilion. In addition to his lower position, Yan Shigu's real talents were not inferior to the front line of the court.

"It was his repeated volunteering to go to Juli that I promised him to go!"

Compared to Wuwang's speculation, the personal narrative of Emperor Tang is obviously the most true, and there is no need to deceive him.

This made Li Hongru bow his head slightly.

Compared with the concepts of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, his bondage to the court is more like a trade-off.

In fact, this is also the nature of most people.

If the emotions accumulated over the years, how many people are willing to go through fire and water for others.

In the court, there are more discipline and rules, not too many emotions.

It was as if he and the prince, Yan Shigu and Emperor Tang had the same feelings.

"The Juli Kingdom is located at the head of Dongtu, while the Tang Dynasty is in it. That small area is like a chicken's head. If someone has an idea on the chicken's head, his body will inevitably be harmed!"

Seeing that the subtle expression on Li Hongru's face faded, Emperor Tang then spoke.

"I have ascended Mount Tai, and when the soul travels to the world, I notice that the fortune of the earth in the east is constantly stolen by this chicken head."

"This is like Emperor Wen of Sui lives in the underground imperial tomb of Luoyang and survives. It is a cancer!"

"I have to wear armor and get on a horse, and I have to conquer Juli."

"But my speed is slower after all, and I'm older, so it's hard to destroy the Juli Kingdom in one battle."

"Emperor Yang conquered Juli three times and cut off the seven-inch land they had stolen from, leaving too many corpses."

"These corpses and souls have not been asleep for a long time. They have awakened during the war and were temporarily controlled by the Juli people, which has caused me too much trouble and even had to stop at Anshi City."

"Shi Gu is good at the Bing Fire of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It is because of the carelessness of rescuing the dead souls, which makes it difficult to save the disease!"

"This is not only your pain, but also my pain!"

Gongsun Ju once suggested that Li Hongru find the war supervisor at that time, which would have a high probability of knowing the truth about Yan Shigu's death.

But there is a story about Emperor Tang that this is the best war supervisor, and it is even more reliable than Li Chunfeng's story.

With the constant remarks, Li Hongru has already learned the cause of Yan Shigu's death.

No one can blame this kind of thing.

It is impossible not to die in war.

The great victory of the Tang Dynasty corresponded to the Juli Kingdom's deaths, and the Tang Dynasty also suffered damage.

In the past, Li Hongru didn't feel much in his heart when he was on the side of the war, but he just felt that he was moving forward step by step by step with the war, and he could not have any thoughts.

But in fact, war has never been a good thing.

It's just that sometimes I have to fight.

This is true whether it is to resist foreign enemies, resist invasion, or cut off such sneaky operations.

"You can go and see the hundreds of miles of deserted places in Anshi City, which is where Shigu fell," said Emperor Tang: "Now you are the post of Honglu Temple, and I will not force you to transfer you. If you have time, go over and see if you can do something!"

"yes!"

Emperor Tang gave a task, but it was not a mandatory task.

Li Hongru wanted to travel west to get the fortune of Nibora, but his itinerary turned east.

This is a completely different path.

He couldn't refuse, so he could only respond.

Compared to the donkey that had been riding Zhang Guozi to Fuyu Kingdom before, his journey is indeed extremely relaxed now.

Seeing that Li Hongru had no refusal to take the task, Emperor Tang couldn't help but nod.

A court master who is good at lasting and flying, and a master who practices the Southern Ming Dinghuo and swordsmanship. Li Hongru is extremely capable and has the ability to come and go freely.

"But don't go to the King of Juli City," said Emperor Tang: "Mo Lizhiyuan Gaisuwen of Juli Country is good at flying blades. It is difficult for him to escape after you are investigated. Moreover, their royal city has a large formation, which is full of dangers to target!"

"Mo Li Zhiyuan Gaisuwen, isn't he the Lord of Juli?" Li Hongru said strangely.

"How can a mere person who kills the master sit in the royal court openly?" Emperor Tang shook his head and said, "Mo Lizhi is a new position opened in their country. It is similar to the real power king. The king of Juli belongs to the puppet king and still occupies some names!"

Compared with the foreign information Li Hongru received before, what Emperor Tang said was more detailed. Even Emperor Tang knew Yuan Gaisuwen's methods and also knew some of the formation constructions of the Juli King City.

Yuan Gaisuwen is authoritative and has extremely high strength and is difficult to kill. She is a little stronger than the older Yuchi Gong.

"With your ability, as long as you don't encounter Yuan Gaisuwen, you should be able to return freely in the territory of Juli," said Emperor Tang.

There are many great practitioners who are good at flying, but there are very few levels of flying to Li Hongru.

Among those who are physically leaping, there are not many people who are more capable than Li Hongru.

Emperor Tang didn't need Li Hongru to assassinate Yuan Gaisuwen.

Li Hongru did not participate in the Juli War. If he went to take a look and became familiar with it, it would be convenient for him to go to the army to fight.

After he had made the explanation, Emperor Tang picked up the chopsticks again and picked up the food that seemed a little cold.

"how?"

After Li Hongru finished his meal and surrendered from the Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Tang asked the young prince.

"When I was young, I heard that Mr. Wang told a story, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang to become the person in the story!"

The prince bowed and looked up.

Most of the children of the royal family are familiar with Li Hongru.

This originated from the monster story told by the other party more than ten years ago in Lingyan Pavilion.

For them who were young at that time, these stories of Li Hongru were fresh and terrifying, and they imprinted their memories deep in their minds.
