In Li Chuan's letter, he had already written clearly about the current situation in Youzhou and also provided a solution.
As long as Li Er followed Li Chuan's arrangements, he would be able to easily control Youzhou.
That was why Li Er sighed at Li Chuan.
After the Youzhou rebellion came to an end.
Li Er listened to Li Chuan's suggestion and sent a confidant to govern Youzhou.
Wang Junkuo followed Li Chuan to Chang 'an to report on his work.
Outside Youzhou City, Li Chuan and Wang Junkuo rode out of the city gate side by side. Behind them were more than five hundred light cavalry.
"Congratulations, State Duke Peng! He had made a great contribution this time. After entering the capital, His Highness would definitely give him a promotion.”Li Chuan tilted his head and said to Wang Junkuo, whose face was dark.
However, Wang Junkuo was depressed, but he had no choice but to lower his head.
Originally, he thought that he would be the new Governor of Youzhou, but he did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would summon him to the capital to report on his work, which added many variables.
Perhaps many people were proud of entering the capital to report on their work. After all, only by entering Chang 'an could they be considered to have entered the power center of the Tang Empire.
However, Wang Junkuo knew very well that it was not as comfortable as being a border official in the outside world.
The sky was high and the emperor was far away. Wasn't it all up to him to decide?
Now that his dream was shattered, it would be strange if he could be happy.
"My lord! Didn't you say that His Highness would let me manage Youzhou Province?”
Then, Wang Junkuo couldn't help but smile bitterly as he asked Li Chuan.
"State Duke Peng, the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne. Do you want to stay in Youzhou, a war-torn place, and be a local king, or go to Chang 'an and be a hero?”
Li Chuan revealed a displeased expression as if he was doing this for his own good.
This guy was ambitious and was not a good person at all.
According to the records, in the first year of Zhenguan, this fellow was arrogant and despotic in Youzhou. After his defeat, he fled to the Turks and was killed by the border people.
This time in the capital, under the feet of the emperor, even if this fellow was a dragon, he had to obediently coil up. Even if he was a tiger, he had to obediently lie down. Otherwise, he would be bringing disaster upon himself.
In the letter to Li Er, he had told Li Er about Wang Junkuo's capriciousness and fierce personality. It was also his opinion to call this guy into the capital.
On the surface, he had indeed promoted this guy to a higher position, but he had taken away his real power. A tiger without claws and teeth would be at the mercy of others.
Hearing this, Wang Junkuo's eyes lit up, and he finally made a decision. His dark face immediately squeezed out a bright smile, and he said to Li Chuan obsequiously,"Daren is young and deeply favored by His Highness the Crown Prince. He is not talented and is willing to follow Daren's footsteps. I hope Daren can give me more advice.”
Li Chuan was stunned. Was this guy trying to hug his thigh?
But he was the one who had tricked him…
However, this guy was also considered a smooth talker. His eyes were quite sharp. He knew that what was done was done and he had no way out. He might as well think about how to obtain more benefits in the future.
" State Duke…" Li Chuan was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"If Daren doesn't mind, you can call me Junkuo.”
Wang Junkuo might not be the most powerful figure in the Great Tang, but he was definitely in the second echelon.
Compared to Li Chuan, who only had the title of Wind Observer, he was also a big shot. However, he did not underestimate Li Chuan because of this. Instead, he placed his status very low.
Li Chuan wasn't a rash person. After thinking for a while, he smiled at Wang Junkuo and said,"Brother Wang, where is Chang 'an? They were both rich and glorious, but they were also in danger.”
Wang Junkuo was touched when he saw Li Chuan calling him brother. When he heard Li Chuan's words, he felt a chill in his heart. That was indeed a place where people would eat their bones.
Thinking about it again, he felt a chill down his spine.
"Sir, please teach me." He immediately cupped his hands at Li Chuan with a sincere expression.
At this time, he did not want to die in Chang 'an.
" Pleading for forgiveness, turning over a new leaf, loyal to the emperor and loving the Tang Dynasty, and determined to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps, there will be a place for you in Chang 'an.”
Li Chuan's unfathomable expression stunned Wang Junkuo.
Wang Junkuo pondered for a long time and said uncertainly,""Sir, are you referring to…"
"That's all I have to say. I don't want to continue spouting nonsense, so please don't make things difficult for me.”
Li Chuan knew when to stop. He glanced at the 500 light cavalry guards behind him. These people were Li Er's trusted bodyguards. Whatever he said would undoubtedly reach Li Er's ears.
He had already said a lot today. What he shouldn't say was definitely not nonsense. Disaster came from the mouth, so he had to guard against it.
Since ancient times, accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger…
It was now the ninth year of Wude, and half of the sixth month had passed. There was still more than a month before Li Er would ascend the throne. He should also make good plans for the future.
After all, he knew that his wings had not fully grown yet, and he still had to rely on Little Changle to complete missions. He still had to be wary of Li Er.
……
It took nearly ten days for the group of hundreds of people to arrive in Chang 'an from Youzhou. When they arrived in Chang' an, Li Er and his confidants welcomed them outside the city.
Li Chuan looked at Li Er and the others at the city gate, and his eyelids twitched. This time, the lineup seemed to be a little big.
"Your Highness, how can you personally welcome me?”So he got off his horse and bowed.""Greetings, Your Highness."
However, Li Chuan bent down and cupped his fists. Before he could bow, he was quickly lifted up by Li Er.
"No, sir, no!" Li Er's face was full of smiles. He pulled Li Chuan's hand and got into his carriage. Then, under the support of everyone, they returned to the Eastern Palace.
" Your Highness..." Wang Junkuo was left standing outside Chang 'an City in a daze.
Damn it, I'm the biggest contributor to the chaos in Youzhou Province!
However, he soon felt relieved. It was obvious that he did not cling to a powerful person. No matter how much credit he made, there was no one above him. He was destined to miss out on him.
If he was His Highness 'trusted aide, who would be able to take away his credit?
Wang Junkuo sighed deeply in his heart. He couldn't help but think of Li Chuan's warning to him. He had already begun to think about when he should implement it.
It wasn't too late to cling onto His Highness's thigh now. Otherwise, after His Highness ascended the throne, he might not even be able to eat sh * t.
(A new day's update has begun…I'm having a headache now. I've already read more than 80,000 words, and I don't seem to have enough favorites. I don't know if I should slow down and wait for the new strong recommendations, because if I maintain this speed, I'll have enough words very soon. But that's because I don't have any recommendations. I'm afraid that the readers will suffer.)
The main thing was that there weren't many stats for the flower evaluation votes. Therefore, I hope that the brothers who are still reading can vote for the flowers and the evaluation votes. It's also fine to post a comment to support them and give them some confidence!）
