Chapter 185

Kaimingfang Kaimingfang in the Tang Dynasty was roughly equivalent to the vicinity of the financial campus of Xi’an Jiaotong University in later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, it was a civilian area, or a pariah area. The people living here were either poor or miserable, and the environment was poor. , and there are large wild bamboo forests.

Walking into Kaimingfang, Chen Ying's brows unconsciously frowned.There is a strong smell of dung in the air, and animal feces and garbage can be seen on the road from time to time. It is already March, and if the weather gets hotter, the place may already be so smelly that no one can enter.

Chen Ying still wanted to follow Xu Erniang inside, but the guards of honor in Marquis Wugong's mansion quit.They did not eat with Chen Ying, but were hired temporarily, also known as temporary workers.These people have bought new clothes and shoes for the sake of dignity. If they stepped on a pile of rotten shit, it would not be easy to wash off the smell from the clothes in the era without washing powder. Once the smell cannot be removed, they It will be difficult to take over.

Seeing Lao Zhou being dragged by the guards of honor, Chen Ying also felt angry.Chen Ying found that it was an absolute mistake for him to use a group of temporary workers as the guard of honor for Marquis Wugong.

Glancing at Lao Zhou fiercely, Chen Ying said in displeasure, "Check out with them and tell them to leave."

Old Zhou froze in place, while Chen Ying blushed and smiled apologetically at Erniang Xu.

This is really pretending to be forced and being fucked.

Fortunately, Xu Erniang didn't care about Chen Ying's embarrassment, and went straight to Yizhushe.

Chen Ying looked at this simple bamboo house in surprise, and asked in disbelief: "Xu Jingzong lives here?"

Xu Erniang nodded and said: "My family doesn't actually have a house, let the clan brother live in the shop, the clan brother is not willing..."

"What the hell is going on!"

Chen Ying looked at this bamboo hut with air leaks from all sides. I am afraid that the broken tent of a Turkic herdsman is better than this bamboo hut in terms of cold and warmth. It has survived and it is already March, but the late spring cold at night is also uncomfortable.

Within ten steps of Chen Yingzhu's house, he smelled a sour smell that made people want to vomit.Pushing open the door, I found Xu Jingzong lying on the wooden bed with disheveled hair and dirty face, sleeping soundly.

Chen Ying shook his head and sighed, and asked Lao Zhou to rent a car to take Xu Jingzong back to Chen's residence.

However, to Chen Ying's disappointment, in the poor place of Kaimingfang, you can't even rent a horse-drawn carriage, and if you have money, you have nowhere to use it. It is a unicycle, the vehicle is narrow and can only accommodate a deer, of course, if it is carrying people, it is barely enough.

One of the eighteen scholars of the dignified Prince Qin's Mansion, Xu Jingzong, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was pulled from Kaimingfang to Wugong Hou's Mansion in Duji Lane, Yanfufang like a dead pig.

Seeing that Chen Ying pulled back Xu Jingzong, who was very disheveled and dirty, and before he had time to bathe and change Xu Jingzong, Si Yan reported to Chen Ying: "His Royal Highness, please!"

Chen Ying hurriedly let Lao Zhou get into Chen Ying's carriage and headed towards the East Palace.

When he came to the East Palace, Chen Ying finally realized that something was wrong. Not only the prince Li Jiancheng was there, but also Li Jiancheng's core confidants were counseling Wang Gui to join the army. The prime minister, at the same time Wang Gui is also the No.1 official of the East Palace.

Next is Li Yuan. Li Yuan is Li Jiancheng's cousin and Li Yuan's nephew. He is also the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Although Li Yuan does not have an official position in the Eastern Palace, he has a very good relationship with Li Jiancheng.When Li Jiancheng tried to murder Li Shimin, he asked him for help.After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin called him into the capital. He thought the matter had been exposed, so he discussed rebellion with his colleague and in-law Wang Junkuo, but was strangled to death by Wang Junkuo and passed on to the capital.

The third one is Wei Ting. Wei Ting also has a close personal relationship with Li Jiancheng. At this time, he is an official residence in the Eastern Palace Left Guard Hussar, which is equivalent to the Secretary of the Ministry of War in the small imperial court of the Eastern Palace.

The fourth is Feng Li, General Donggong Yiwei Chariot and Cavalry.

The fifth one was actually Chen Ying's acquaintance, Wei Zheng.According to the original history, Wei Zheng entered the Mudong Palace in the fourth year of Wude to wash horses for the prince.However, because of Chen Ying's appearance, Wei Zheng, as Li Mi's special envoy, went to Chang'an to discuss surrender matters for Li Mi.

The most brilliant thing about Wei Zheng is that the admiral of the Palace of Ganlu was speechless in the debate on the civil and military affairs of the Tang and Manchu dynasties.Wei Zheng opened his mouth to Li Yuan and said, "Wei Zheng, the clerk under Wei Gong's account, pays his respects to the Lord of the Tang Kingdom!" It is a big country in the world, and you are honored by Li Mi, but it is only the ear of the princes who ruled the place; even if Li Mi came to visit His Majesty in person, he still had to pay respects to the monarch and his ministers, not to mention that you are a minister of a small country, and you still entrust yourself to the big, what is the reason?"

Wei Zheng immediately quoted chapters and references, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Northern Wei Dynasty, claiming that Li Yuan and Li Mi came from one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, and they should be treated equally, even Li Yuan had no choice.Of course, this debate did not change anything, but Wei Zheng's sharp eloquence won the favor of Li Jiancheng.

At this time, the East Palace still had Zuo Wei leading Yang Wengan. Seeing this scam, Chen Ying immediately wanted to kill him for Li Jiancheng, but Chen Ying saw Li Jiancheng's gloomy face.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Ying looked at the faces of the crowd, and asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder what is the important thing for His Highness to call you?"

Wei Ting was very dissatisfied with Chen Ying, the courtiers of the Eastern Palace sitting here were very important, neither rich nor noble, even Wei Zheng, the newcomer to the Eastern Palace, was from Shandong aristocrats.Only Chen Ying came from a humble background, which annoyed Wei Ting very much.

Wei Ting said impatiently: "Prince Qin's eldest son was born, His Majesty bestowed the name Chengqian!"

Seeing Chen Ying didn't feel strange, Wei Ting thought that Chen Ying didn't understand the meaning of these two words.In fact, it's not that Chen Ying doesn't understand, but understands too well.Li Chengqian is very famous in later generations, because Li Chengqian fought with Li Tai, and finally took advantage of the little Jin Wang Li Zhi.If Li Shimin's eldest son was not Li Chengqian, Chen Ying would feel strange.

Wang Gui, who consulted and joined the army, said: "Inheriting the imperial career and leading the universe, His Majesty's heart is clearly revealed."

Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "The right servant of Shangshu shot Liu Gong Wenjing, and he wanted to unite with Chaozhong Guang Luqing, Xing Guogong Li Mi, Minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong, Secretary Supervisor, Consort Duwei Feng Lun and other ministers to jointly write a letter to His Majesty. Prince, change to King Qin."

Hearing this, Chen Ying laughed loudly and said: "Liu Wenjing is old and confused, he doesn't distinguish between the inside and the outside! He doesn't unite with the ministers to own the King of Qin. Whether the King of Qin will be the crown prince is unknown, but he can help His Royal Highness is doing a great favor..."

"Zhuzi is not a conspiracy, it's just nonsense!" Wei Tingdang retorted: "Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with His Highness for a long time, and now there is an opportunity missing. If Liu Wenjing writes a letter, it will hit His Majesty's arms, you..."

Chen Yingli also ignored Wei Ting, and directly interrupted Wei Ting arrogantly: "You have lived like a dog all these years!"

"You..." Wei Ting was furious, his beard trembling with anger.

Even Li Jiancheng's face changed drastically: "Chen Ying, you are too reckless. I think you are young and ignorant, and you don't have the same knowledge as you. Hurry up and apologize to Wei Huanqi!"

Chen Yingdao said unceremoniously: "Your Highness, I just want to wake him up. If you are stupid and ruthless, how can you help Your Highness achieve great things?"

Wei Ting had bulging veins on his forehead, pointed at Chen Yinglian and said, "You, you..." He didn't say a word for a long time.

However, Chen Ying said solemnly: "The matter is already obvious. How can His Majesty be someone who can be easily influenced by others? Besides, Liu Wenjing was originally the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, and his status in the court was second only to Pei Ji, but he In the middle of the court, the wings are full, and the disciples and old officials are all over the court and the public. Chang'an's family and officials know it well. This Lu Guogong is very important. However, it is good that he does not contact Li Mi, Qu Tutong, Feng Lun and others. Once he unites All the ministers jointly wrote the letter, not only will the king of Qin have no chance with Dabao, but even he himself will die, and the disaster will not be far away..."
