Uncle, I didn't mean to tease you

The sixth prince, Li Mian, secretly stationed troops to conspire against the case, and the trial soon started. The presiding judge of the criminal department was personally appointed by the emperor, and he sent his cronies to join the trial as a symbol.

As the head coach of the Northern Army who settled the matter this time, Liu Jing naturally couldn't be absent.

But Liu Jing wasn't under any pressure. He had already received the emperor's order earlier, knowing that Li Mian's encounter would be safe and sound, the emperor probably didn't plan to deal with him.

Liu Jing dressed up and left the commander's residence early in the morning. Although Liu An still lived in the same courtyard with him, he deliberately avoided him, and he didn't go out until Liu Jing left the commander's residence.

But Liu An did not expect that as soon as Liu Jing left, a visitor came to the Shuai's residence.Liu An took a look at the door post handed over by the soldiers, and found that the visitor was Pan Wenjie, the Prince Shaobao.

Liu An led Pan Wenjie to the front hall, and changed into his military uniform before going to see him.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but Pan Wenjie hasn't changed much, probably because he's getting older, but his whole person is more calm than when Qiu Lie first saw him.

"General Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't come here without any problems." Pan Wenjie originally looked like Zhou Zheng, and he was born with a bit of extravagance. Now he has a just right smile on his face, which looks quite a bit Seductive.

But Liu An is not a person who cares about other people's appearance, he just glanced at Pan Wenjie and said with a bit of alienation: "Today is the trial day of the case of the sixth prince, Pan Shaobao should know, right?"

Pan Wenjie said: "To tell you the truth, General Yang, I deliberately avoided Liu Jing and came to you. It's just because the opportunity is rare, so I don't want to miss it."

Liu An felt a little displeased when he heard the words. First, the other party talked about General Yang, repeatedly emphasizing that he knew Liu An's background, and second, the other party avoided Liu Jing and came to him. The illusion of being with people.

"Pan Shaobao, if you have something to say, please speak directly, without beating around the bush." ​​Liu An said.

Pan Wenjie didn't get Liu An's good face, but he wasn't annoyed, he still smiled and said calmly: "That year Qiu Lie, I used you without saying hello, it was indeed extremely abrupt. But you should know my purpose by now Now, since we have a common goal, why not join hands?"

"I don't quite understand what Pan Shaobao said about the common goal," Liu An said.

Pan Wenjie restrained his smile, went to close the door, and then lowered his voice: "You want to avenge the Yang family, but now you already know who your enemy is. And I am not afraid to tell you my purpose, now The Liang family is powerful, and Grand Master Liang has always been at odds with my father, if things go on like this, if we don't do something to the Liang family, the Liang family will definitely do something to us."

Liu An sneered when he heard the words: "You mean that we have reached the same goal by different routes?"

Pan Wenjie: "Isn't it?"

There is indeed some truth to this different route to the same goal.Pan Wenjie's method at the beginning was to use himself to stimulate the emperor and let the emperor take action to solve the Liang family, but he did not expect that the emperor would not waver.

Now that Liu An was no longer that unidentified soldier, it was reasonable for Pan Wenjie to come to him to show his affection.

"I have no contacts in the court, and I didn't even dare to show my face before. Even though it is better than before, I don't need to worry all day long, but I can join hands with you... Hehe, could it be that you want me to shake His Majesty? Thoughts?" Liu An said.

Seeing Liu An's sarcasm, Pan Wenjie hurriedly said: "General Yang, I was really abrupt about the autumn hunting that day, please bear with me. But today, I absolutely dare not have the idea of ​​being abrupt about General Yang."

Moreover, although the emperor was tolerant towards Liu An, he did not lose his sense of proportion because of this face similar to Yang Minxing's. It can be seen that Pan Wenjie's previous method was not feasible at all.

"Then tell me, what do I have for you to cooperate with me?" Liu An asked.

Pan Wenjie said: "Grand Master Liang's son, Liang Guangwen, served as the governor of Yuzhou for four consecutive years, and held the military power in Yuzhou. It's a pity that he is not as responsible as his father. In the past four years, the handle left in Yuzhou is enough for him to drink a cup of wine." jug."

"What does this have to do with me?" Liu An asked.

"The hornet's nest is already hanging there, as long as someone pokes the hornet's nest, everything will be fine. But the person who stabs the hornet's nest needs to be not only a general, but also a clean outsider." Pan Wenjie said.

Liu An smiled and said, "You want me to go?"

Pan Wenjie said: "In the jurisdiction of Yuzhou, there is a lack of a prefect. The central government will send someone there soon, and this prefect needs a captain to take up the post. The post of captain is not very important, and the Ministry of War can decide on its own. Although you are currently enlisting in the Northern Army, you can leave at any time if you wish."

"You want me to leave the Northern Conscript Army and go to be a captain in Yuzhou?" Liu An laughed and said, "Even if the appointment and removal of a captain does not need to go through His Majesty, he will always know about it. have all the nails pulled out?"

Pan Wenjie was not nervous when he heard the words, on the contrary, his expression was very calm.Liu An's thoughts changed sharply. Even if he was a little surprised, Pan Wenjie was able to bring him in. Does it mean that he was expected to get the emperor's tacit approval?

Could it be that the emperor himself plans to move the Liang family?

If this is the case, it can explain why the emperor cooperated with Liu Jing to help him solve the matter of the Canghai League, and then he did not hide his identity, and even gave him the old house of the Yang family.

"Aren't you afraid that once the Liang family falls, the Pan family will follow?" Liu An asked.

Pan Wenjie smiled and said, "We don't have any other options, do we?"

In the game, how can anyone get out of the game?

"I also want to bring down the Liang family with my own hands, but I can't do anything for it. The Northern Army is very important to me, and I can't leave easily." Liu An said.

Just because you can't leave easily doesn't mean you can't leave.Pan Wenjie was not in a hurry when he heard the words, he just said: "It's okay, I can wait for you, take your time."

Pan Wenjie knew that Liu An didn't like him very much, and he didn't intend to stay after speaking, so he left in a hurry.

Liu An stayed alone in the front hall for a long time, feeling that his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of anything.

For so long, he had dreamed of killing the culprit of the disaster in the Yang family, but now that he knew all the truth and had a chance to take revenge, he didn't feel the slightest pleasure of getting his wish.

The disaster of the Yang family was led by Grand Master Liang alone, but if one wants to get to the bottom of it, the emperor also has an inescapable responsibility.Even if he could kill Liang Taishi's family, he couldn't kill the emperor, right?

Now Pan Wenjie gave him the opportunity to take revenge, but this opportunity cannot be pursued without the emperor's order.

Only now did Liu An realize that his desire for revenge might have been an impossible goal from the very beginning.

When Li Qin met him at the hunting ground, he neither executed him secretly to avoid future troubles, nor aroused guilt towards Yang Minxing because of him, and then moved the Liang family, which shows that Li Qin had expected this day long ago.

When facing the truth, Liu An actually became more powerless.

Liu An now somewhat belatedly understood that Yang Minxing's decision to leave the capital was probably to avoid Li Qin, but how much of it was due to boredom of officialdom?

A royal throne caused Li Qin and his brothers to fight each other. In the end, they got that seat, but they became lonely.

Master Liang married his daughter to the emperor and became the head of the country, but the queen was not favored by the emperor, and stayed alone in the empty room all day long. I am afraid that she would be wasted among the four red walls until she died.

In a power struggle, there is never a winner, everyone loses.

The case of the Sixth Prince embracing troops and rebellion soon came to fruition.Just like what the emperor said to Liu Jing that day, the sixth prince was taken advantage of by Muli in a moment of confusion, and that's why he did something wrong.

Fortunately, the sixth prince was loyal to the emperor and did not do anything substantive. He just chanted the slogan of rebellion. The Chizhou soldiers did not formally conflict with the Northern Zheng army.

After the chief judge of the Ministry of Punishment presented the result, the emperor made a heartbroken look, but in the end he only lightly sentenced the Sixth Prince to house arrest for one year.Then he ordered the 5000 troops in Chizhou to be confiscated, and after being disrupted, they were incorporated into part of the Chizhou army, and the rest were incorporated into the local army in Beijiang to defend the north.

The Sixth Prince was punished symbolically, and naturally Liu Jing and the Northern Army should be rewarded.

Muli has often caused chaos in the northern defense these years. Although there are few people, the energy of pointing out where to fight is very annoying. The emperor has hated him for a long time. Now that he has been completely wiped out by the northern army, it has made the entire Dayu Dynasty There was a feeling of elation.

That day, Liu An, who was the vanguard, and another general were promoted two ranks in a row, and Yang Zheng, who was the main force, was also promoted two ranks, becoming a full-fledged general who could lead an army by himself.

And Liu Jing, as the commander of the North Army, commanded well, and was directly promoted to the second-rank General Zhenbei.Judging from Liu Jing's qualifications and age, the military generals of the current dynasty can be said to be unmatched.

Naturally, no one would object to the emperor's decision.

However, what Liu Jing is most concerned about now, the emperor has not mentioned a word, that is, whether Liu Jing will take over the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army?This matter has been pressing on Liu Jing's head like a big unresolved rock. As long as it doesn't fall down for a day, Liu Jing will not dare to relax in his tone.

However, since the emperor didn't mention it, it was impossible for him to ask, so the matter could only continue to be shelved.Until the emperor was willing to let him take over the post of Liu Hengyuan's coach, or find a more suitable candidate to replace Liu Hengyuan.

However, it is clear that there is no more suitable candidate in the DPRK.

And the emperor's refusal to mention this matter meant that he did not trust Liu Jing that much.

Liu Jing returned to the commander-in-chief's mansion, along with the servants from the palace who came to announce the decree.Liu An came out to receive the imperial decree and received the reward, but after sending the person away, he was still a little absent-minded.

He had been entangled in what Pan Wenjie mentioned in his heart, so he didn't notice Liu Jing's strangeness, but Liu Jing saw that he was a little disturbed first, so he couldn't help but ask a few words.

Liu An didn't have time to think about it, Liu Jing asked him casually: "If I want to leave the North Army, according to the usual practice, where should my military registration be? Is it the Ministry of War?"

Liu Jing was startled when he heard the words, and immediately frowned, and said, "What do you mean? Why did you leave Zhengbei Army? Where did you leave Zhengbei Army?"

"I haven't decided yet, I just ask you first." Liu An said.

Liu Jing frowned even more when he heard this, he didn't make a decision, that is to say, he had already started to think about it.

Liu An actually wanted to leave Zhengbei Army!
