Wang Can's words were like a provocation, and those who thought Li Jing had betrayed the Tang Dynasty immediately turned their heads.
This man was quite burly, with a beard like a steel needle under his chin. He said: "Boy, you said that Li Jing was a loyal minister. Do you have any evidence? I have full evidence that Li Jing betrayed the Tang Dynasty."
When Wang Can heard this, he sneered in his heart.
When it comes to understanding Li Jing, there is absolutely no other person in the world except him.
Because he knew that Li Jing did not betray.
Everything outside was just a rumor, but it must be said that Li Shimin was really powerful. He actually made a special statement and completely stabilized Li Jing's heart, making it almost impossible for Wang Can to recruit Li Jing.
Wang Can didn't believe that the other party had evidence. He stood up quickly, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Since you said that Medicine Master Li betrayed, and there is evidence of his betrayal, then take it out and let everyone see it."
The burly man said loudly: "Do you know who I am? My name is Cheng Feixiong, and I am the brother of Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin. Duke Lu personally said that Li Jing betrayed him. How can this matter be false?"
"ha……"
Wang Can sneered.
Cheng Yaojin concluded that Li Jing's surrender was carefully planned by him, and he naturally knew the truth and falsehood.
Wang Can said disdainfully: "You said that Cheng Yaojin knew about Li Jing's betrayal. I also knew about Cheng Yaojin. At that time, he was the only one who escaped and no one withdrew."
"Under such circumstances, Cheng Yaojin kept saying that Li Jing was betraying him. I'm afraid there was an inside story."
"What if Li Jing fights to the death and Cheng Yaojin escapes and retreats alone?"
"Is this possible?"
Wang Can looked around at the people around him. As he and Cheng Feixiong were arguing, there were gradually more people. In Dingxiang Tower, many people had gathered here. Once there was a dispute, countless people gathered to watch the excitement.
.
Seeing more and more people, Wang Can became even more calm and continued: "Cheng Yaojin alone said that Li Jing betrayed the Tang Dynasty. But what is the official statement?"
"The public is like green mountains, and I am like pines and cypresses. The green mountains are always there, and the pines and cypresses will last forever."
"These sixteen words are the emperor's judgment."
"Even the emperor issued an edict that he believed Li Yaoshi did not betray, but you, Cheng Feixiong, kept saying that Cheng Yaojin knew that Li Jing had betrayed. How did he know?"
Wang Can said: "Maybe it's not clear at all. It was because he was a deserter that he deliberately framed Li Jing to gain benefits for himself and establish his image of fighting to the end."
"impossible!"
Cheng Feixiong replied categorically: "It is impossible for my Duke to talk nonsense. What's more, Duke Lu reported this news to the emperor, but the emperor never criticized him and thought it was reasonable."
Wang Can said: "What you said is untenable. Cheng Yaojin said that Li Jing betrayed and the emperor did not deal with it. That is because he did not want to lose another general under his command, so he pretended to be confused and ignored Cheng Yaojin.
Otherwise, Cheng Yaojin would have been jailed long ago."
"You are so slanderous!"
Cheng Feixiong was no match for Wang Can's mouth.
He said loudly: "Who are you?"
Wang Can said: "What, are you going to attack me?"
Cheng Feixiong said: "As a member of Duke Lu's mansion, I am not as mean-spirited as you think. If you tell me your story, I will tell Duke Lu your story and ask him to come and argue with you."
Wang Can said: "Then I'll wait and see."
After a pause, Wang Can said: "My name is Li Duan, also known as Medicine King. Cheng Yaojin should know my name."
Li Yaowang?
Cheng Feixiong murmured twice, but he snorted and said disdainfully: "You are an unknown person. How can Duke Lu know about you? Your name sounds somewhat similar to Li Jing. Could it be that you are from the Li family?"
"Indeed!"
Wang Can said: "Li Jing is my younger brother."
"Ha, they are like a raccoon dog!"
Cheng Feixiong gritted his teeth and said: "You are Li Jing's brother, so you naturally think that Li Jing did not surrender. But who can guarantee that Li Jing did not surrender? Maybe Li Jing had surrendered long ago. You know, Li Jing's family members have all disappeared.
This is an indisputable fact, even if you quibble, it will not help."
Wang Can retorted: "The pharmacist's family did not leave on their own, but were forcibly taken away by people from the Shu Kingdom. If they left on their own, how could only their direct descendants leave, and even their closest servants all stay in Xiangyang.
This is obviously unreasonable."
"Furthermore, there are people from Shu in Xiangyang City."
"As far as I know, people from Shu once attacked Dai Zi from the craftsman's workshop, but they failed in the end."
"This shows that the spies of Shu are very rampant."
Wang Can said: "I can be sure that Li Jing will never surrender. My son of the Li family is proud and loyal, and would rather die than change his ambition. The pharmacist is even more proud and will never surrender."
Cheng Feixiong said disdainfully: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts, who knows?"
Wang Can said: "I just don't agree with your groundless slander. Your so-called empirical evidence and so-called evidence are untenable. As long as the Shu Kingdom allows Li Jing to stand up and speak out, let Li Jing speak out in front of everyone
In front of you, I will admit my surrender. Then, I will admit it. Otherwise, I will never admit it."
"you……"
Cheng Feixiong gritted his teeth.
The Li Duan in front of me is really too persistent. Such a person is really difficult to deal with.
He didn't want to argue anymore.
Cheng Feixiong said: "I won't argue with you anymore. In short, Li Jing has betrayed."
"impossible!"
Wang Can held his head high and said loudly: "I, Li Duan, swear on my life that if Li Jing betrays the Tang Dynasty, the men of my Li family will be slaves for generations, and the women of my Li family will be prostitutes for generations."
brush!
Cheng Feixiong's expression also changed slightly.
This oath is too harsh.
When the people around him looked at Wang Can, their eyes were extremely shocked. They never thought that Wang Can would make such an oath.
The ancients took their oaths very seriously.
Swear that it is the most important contract. To a certain extent, it is more useful than any contract.
Under such circumstances, everyone was a little moved.
This is really hard work.
He actually threw the whole family in for one Li Jing.
"you are vicious!"
Cheng Feixiong did not dare to say any more and left directly.
Wang Can didn't say any more and sat down directly. He knew that the effect had been achieved. The original plan was to let Yanran take action, let Charming and him have a dispute, and even let the people he arranged take action. But in the current situation, these
None of it is needed anymore.
Wang Can can be sure that the news will definitely reach the Ouchi Palace.
Li Shimin will definitely know.
After Wang Can and Yan Ran drank some wine, they didn't stay any longer and went straight to the private room on the second floor.
After Wang Can and Yan Ran left, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. There were still many people talking about Li Jing. But at this time, under the influence of Wang Can, some people began to stand on Li Jing's side.
I thought it was impossible for Li Jing to surrender.
After Wang Can left, the spies in the palace also spread the news.
This news was quickly sent to the palace.
Li Shimin also attached great importance to the news sent back by the spies stationed in Dingxiang Tower. Because in Dingxiang Tower, there was Liu Wushuang, the number one person Dai Zi liked, so he had to pay attention at all times.
Dai Zi is an important weapon of the country.
There can be no room for error.
Otherwise, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Li Shimin read the news and saw the record of a dispute between 'Li Duan' and Cheng Feixiong. When he saw 'Li Duan' appear, there was a look of surprise on his face.
In the previous life, Li Shimin ruled the world, and Li Duan never became an official.
Li Jing has always been an official outside.
As the patriarch of the Li family, Li Duan lived a secluded life. Even Li Shimin himself only knew Li Duan's name and had never met Li Duan. After all, Li Duan was famous and had never been an official.
Li Shimin thought for a while and immediately sent someone to call Changsun Wuji.
After Changsun Wuji entered the palace, he saw Li Shimin. After bowing, he said, "The emperor has summoned me. What important matter is there?"
Li Shimin said: "I just received the news from Dingxiang Tower. Li Duan came forward and argued with Cheng Yaojin's relatives. He believed that Li Jing must have not surrendered. Li Duan even swore that if Li Jing surrendered, he would be killed."
In the Tang Dynasty, among the descendants of the Li family, the men were slaves for generations and the women were prostitutes for generations."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Li Jing should have not surrendered, but was placed under house arrest by Wang Can. Because the spies we sent to Shu Kingdom have returned the news, so far, there is no news about Li Jing, and we have never found out about Li Jing's official position.
There is no information about Li Jing. It can be seen from this that Wang Can took Li Jing’s family members away to force Li Jing to surrender.”
"It's most likely so."
Li Shimin also nodded and said: "Previously, we had deduced that the reason why Cheng Yaojin came back was deliberately arranged by Wang Can to confirm the news of Li Jing's surrender."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin changed the subject and said: "Li Jing's matter will not be dealt with for the time being. What do you think of Li Duan?"
Changsun Wuji turned his eyes and suddenly said: "Is the emperor's idea to recruit this person?"
"yes!"
Li Shimin nodded.
In his heart, he did have such an idea.
Li Jing and Li Duan were equally famous at the same time, but Li Jing once served as an official in the Sui Dynasty and eventually surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Li Duan also served as an official in the Sui Dynasty, but after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Li Duan lived in seclusion and was unwilling to be an official again.
Already.
Now that Li Duan has come out, Li Shimin wants to recruit him.
Li Shimin urgently needs talents.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, since you want to recruit Li Duan, I suggest you go there in person and visit him. On the one hand, it is to reiterate Li Jing's matter and make it clear that the emperor believes in Li Jing and is actively trying to get him.
Rescue Li Jing."
"Then, recruit him again."
Changsun Wuji's eyes were solemn and he said: "Under such a premise, Wei Chen believes that there is still a certain chance to get Li Duan to surrender."
Li Shimin said: "What Wuji said is true."
He also agreed with Changsun Wuji's suggestion and prepared to go there in person (to be continued)
