"Your Majesty, since we've been friends for so long, you naturally know my temperament. Let's not waste words. If you want to kill me, do as you please. I won't say a word."
"How many brothers did you have at Tong Pass?"
"But what about you?"
"You know that there were less than twenty thousand soldiers stationed at Tong Pass. But what did we face? Tens of thousands of Turkic elites! Back then, Brother Shan's son personally sent a letter, but … he was cut up right in front of me! "
"Also, all of Wagang's brothers died one by one!"
"Back then, you promised your brothers that you didn't ask for great wealth, but to live a carefree life. But after the Wei River Alliance, what did you do?"
"You didn't say a word about the deaths of our brothers, and you even issued an edict to question …"
"Fifty thousand soldiers against less than twenty thousand, and Tong Pass was completely surrounded. Even if we had wings, we couldn't fly out!"
"How many brothers died in vain to deliver the letter? Do you know? "
"That's enough!"
Qin Qiong's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Wang Junke! Do you know what His Majesty faced back then? It was the impeachment of all the civil and military officials! "
"More than fifty officials demanded your execution, but what did His Majesty say? His Majesty used his head as a guarantee to suppress the protests of the court officials! "
"You say that His Majesty doesn't care about old ties, but have you seen Wagang? His Majesty has already ordered those brothers who died tragically to be sent back to Wagang for a grand funeral. What else do you want? "
"Is this the reason for your disobedience and rebellion?"
Qin Qiong was furious.
He couldn't wait to kill him. He even had the urge to do so.
Even now, you're still so stubborn, and you still want to infuriate His Majesty.
How can I save you?
My brothers?
Li Shimin sighed deeply.
He slumped down on the steps and leaned against the cold table. He said, "I haven't forgotten any of my brothers from back then, and I don't dare to forget. You may not know, but I'm most afraid of nighttime."
"I'm afraid that as soon as I close my eyes, my brothers from back then will come looking for me. So, I've been desperately trying to build the Tang Dynasty that my brothers imagined when they drank and chatted merrily … but …"
"I'm tired too!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. We only need one sentence. Who is the person behind you?"
Wang Junke's eyes trembled slightly.
But he quickly covered it up.
He took a deep breath and said, "I admit that I did something wrong. But I, Wang Jun, am not a person who goes back on his words. So … Your Highness, please don't ask anymore."
"Wang Junke, this is your last chance. His Majesty has said that he will ensure your safety … Why are you so obsessed?"
Qin Qiong was so anxious that he wanted to beat Wang Junke up.
It was just a name.
Moreover, this place was filled with their own people. No one would leak this information out.
Why are you still holding on here?
Don't you know how serious the crime of treason is?
Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still at this time. He hurriedly advised, "Junke, you know the outcome of this matter. What are you holding on to? Do you think that person really wants to give you an explanation? That person is just using you! "
"His purpose is to usurp the throne. Do you understand?"
Wang Junke smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't understand at the beginning. But when he asked me to build this underground palace and design it according to the layout of the Political Announcement Palace, I understood. I hesitated at the beginning, but he said that a man, a warrior, is born to be suitable. But the place is only the battlefield. A soldier who doesn't go to the battlefield is like an old horse. He has nothing but revenge, but …"
"I'm not suitable for such a comfortable environment. As Qin Qiong just said, I'm afraid that when I'm free, those brothers will come to me in my dreams!"
"So, if you want to kill me, do whatever you want. I won't tell you what you want!"
Fang Xuanling heard this and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
No more words.
The entire Imperial Study was filled with sighs at this time.
Li Shimin's chest was violently heaving and his face was unnaturally red. Xiao Guizi was so frightened that he hurriedly went forward to wipe Li Shimin's chest.
Li Shimin slapped Xiao Guizi's hand away and stared at Xiao Guizi. He stared into Wang Junke's eyes with the same blood-red eyes. The distance between the two of them was only seven inches.
After a while, Li Shimin angrily waved his hand and said, "Guards!"
"Here!"
Qin Qiong's eyes flashed with despair, but he still knelt on one knee. ,
Li Shimin said slowly, "Take Wang Junke away. Before the morning court tomorrow, ask for that person's name!"
"Yes … Sir …"
Without waiting for Qin Qiong to finish, Li Shimin closed his eyes and said lightly, "At all costs!"
Qin Qiong's heart trembled.
Wang Junke didn't hand it over to the Ministry of Justice or the Supreme Court. Instead, he handed it over to him. This meant that the Emperor didn't trust others. What could he ask?
Perhaps the Emperor was giving Wang Junke one last chance …
Thinking of this, Qin Qiong hurriedly said, "Yes, sir!"
"…"
