Jin State, Taiyuan. Lan
In the dead of night, in a dark room somewhere in Tongwen Hall.
"So, he has broken through to the Great Heavenly Throne..."
The hoarse voice first chuckled, and then said in a low and emotionless voice: "I am alone as a bait, but I have a bit of the spirit of Taizong who rode alone to defeat the Turks..."
The man kneeling in the audience pondered for a moment and then said:
"Without the help of the commander-in-chief, the emperor would not have been able to do so smoothly..."
The figure on the stage finally revealed some features in the dim candlelight, but it was a blue-black iron face with only black eyes exposed. There are terrifying lines carved on the iron surface, making people afraid to look at them for a long time.
"Hmph... Li Keyong has been running the Three Jin Dynasties for a long time, and he has become a big leader. He also has connections with the foreign tribes in Mobei. If I don't work hard, I might become the second Anlu Mountain." Lan
He casually lifted the hem of his clothes, sat behind the long desk, played with the tea cup on the desk with one hand, and was silent for a moment.
The people in the audience did not dare to make a sound. The room was quiet for a while, but the atmosphere seemed solid.
"How do you evaluate him..."
After a long time, the hoarse voice finally sounded on the stage, but it caused cold sweat to break out on the forehead of the person kneeling on the ground, and he subconsciously straightened his back.
"Subordinate... Although I have met the Emperor a few times, I only saw him from a distance. I only know that his martial arts skills are extraordinary and his talent is extremely high... As for the rest, I don't know anything about it..."
He didn't know what the unscrupulous commander on the stage was thinking, and the commander had always acted arbitrarily. He had never asked others for their opinions, and he didn't dare to judge, so he could only speak vaguely.
But immediately I heard a hoarse voice: Lan
"His martial arts skills are quite good. His centrality is not as good as Taizong's. The love between children is taken too seriously."
The people in the audience lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
These words seemed to be addressed to him, but rather they were asked and answered by the people on the stage.
As noble as the emperor, apart from the commander-in-chief, no one else can evaluate him.
"That's all... where are the artifacts developed by Li Cunxu now."
This question was easy to answer. The people in the audience quietly breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "All the firearms shipped from Zhengzhou were personally intercepted by my subordinates and stored at the helm in the city, waiting for the commander's order."
"Destroy them all." Lan
The figure on the stage stood up and put his hands behind his back.
"Destroyed...destroyed?"
The man was very surprised. Firearms are all sacred weapons and are not much weaker than ordinary heavenly masters in war. Why not keep them among bad people...
"Such a divine weapon is far beyond the reach of armor and swords. If it is leaked, it will be a sharp weapon that can severely damage the country. Not to mention that if it spreads to foreigners, it may not be a blessing to the Tang Dynasty."
The people in the audience raised their heads, opened their mouths, and finally lowered their heads.
"As commanded."
After a while, the people in the audience retreated, leaving only the figure in green clothes in the room. Lan
"Tokiya Mingya...did I really make a mistake..."

Within the Taiyuan Royal City, the entire main hall fell into a quiet atmosphere.
There were a few candles in the hall, but they couldn't cover the darkness in the corner. The shadows of the stone pillars in the hall stretched diagonally to Li Siyuan's feet.
His face no longer had the usual calm look. Although his clothes had been changed, there were a few strands of messy hair hanging down. At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, nodding to the ground, full of sorrow. Voice.
"Although I advised the prince to temporarily retreat to Luzhou, he still tried his best to surround the false emperor with his entire army... The sixth brother, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother were to protect the prince's safety, but were trapped by the Tang army and could not escape... I managed to escape by luck. The siege was heavy, but the Tang army was so powerful that it was difficult to turn back to rescue the prince...
Tens of thousands of men were lost, and Tongwenguan's vitality was severely damaged... I can't escape the death penalty, so I ask my adoptive father to grant me a death! "Lan
The figure in the wheelchair above had half of his hair gray. After listening to Li Siyuan's passionate cry, he finally pushed the wheelchair and emerged from the shadows.
It was Jin Wang Li Ke who used it.
His face was expressionless, his eyes under his thick sword-shaped eyebrows
He looked emotionlessly at Li Siyuan, who was still kowtowing below, and remained silent.
The originally stable situation was overturned. There was no foundation south of the Yellow River, and most of his elite troops were damaged. I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer the south again in my lifetime.
The most important thing is that his only son died in the south.
Of his twelve adopted sons, five were captured by Li Jing. It is really absurd to remove six of the thirteen Taibao!
With this thought in his mind, his face began to become darker and darker, veins popped out in the hands that were gripping the armrests of the wheelchair, and he became more and more angry at this righteous son who didn't know whether his words were true or false. Lan
He had been very wary of Li Siyuan before. This adopted son was ambitious in everything, and he must have been very disrespectful towards Li Siyuan as his adopted father. He had already noticed the little moves he made. He is also already looking for opportunities to completely suppress Li Siyuan and regain control of Tongwen Hall.
Unexpectedly, such a shocking change occurred unexpectedly. I dare not make a conclusion as to whether the Jin State Security Bureau can be saved. There is no time to attack Li Siyuan.
Moreover, the talent of Jin State is withering now. If you really want to kill him, you have to wait until later.
Many generals in the army were captured, and Li Keyong was even considering whether he needed to come out again and lead the army in person.
After thinking about this a lot, Li Keyong managed to calm down the anger in his heart, and then said in a deep voice to Li Siyuan, who was still kowtowing:
"The matter has come to this, and it will be difficult to save Cunxu and the others... As the eldest brother, you should not say these depressing words at this time. The Jin country is surrounded by crises now, and it is the time to employ people... Don't hide the masters of Tongwen Guanzhi. Yes, if you can make adjustments, make adjustments, and everything should be done with the overall situation in mind.”
After he finished speaking, Li Siyuan, who was sobbing sadly underneath, reluctantly raised his head, and saw that his face was covered with tears and snot, and he was so affectionate. Lan
"I will remember my adoptive father's orders. When the situation is settled, I will commit suicide and plead guilty!"
Li Keyong closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said no more.
Li Siyuan was trembling all over, but he kowtowed again, got up in embarrassment, and staggered out.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, his expression changed instantly. Then he raised his wrist, wiped his face with his long sleeve, and finally left the Jin Prince's Mansion with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth.
————
Li Keyong in the hall looked a little defeated. He held himself on the armrest of his wheelchair and remained silent for a while before finally speaking in a low voice.
"Come out." Lan
As a chuckle sounded, a woman wearing a purple mink coat and a snow-white mink hat, with a gentle and elegant temperament and a charming look on her face walked out from the shadows.
"It seems that King Jin's subordinates are not united..."
Although this woman was dressed in Khitan attire, she still spoke fluent Chinese. While talking and laughing, she walked to the long table on one side of the hall and sat down, quite casually.
Li Keyong frowned slightly in disgust, but just said in a deep voice: "Now that the situation in the Central Plains has changed, I am not afraid of the Queen's jokes... But I also want the Queen to know that if she still wants to get involved at this time, it may not be good. Got away."
The Khitan woman covered her mouth and smiled, then waved her hand, with a smile still on her face.
"Prince Jin has forgotten that my Khitan co-master is still imprisoned by Li Jing..."
