Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 186 Calculating Liu Wenjing

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng, but saw that Li Jiancheng was not smiling, and he was noncommittal.Wang Gui and Li Yuan exchanged glances, but they didn't know what kind of conspiracy they were plotting.

Feng Li, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the show, with a relaxed expression on his face.

As for Wei Ting, he changed his face.His face was white for a while, red for a while, and turned purple for a while...

Looking at the people present, Chen Ying felt endless sadness and helplessness in his heart.Who are the people in the small imperial court of the Eastern Palace?Li Jiancheng's character weakness can be seen from the employment of people. All the subordinates in the East Palace, except Wei Chen and Chen Ying, almost all of them have extremely close personal relationships with Li Jiancheng.However, Li Jiancheng's subordinates are much worse than the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace in terms of vision and structure.

In the pre-Sui period, Yang Guang established a political faction spanning both civil and military classes by virtue of his great military achievements in expelling the Turks in the north and destroying Chen in the south, thus defeating Yang Yong and seizing the throne.As the so-called teacher who never forgets the past, Li Yuan will never repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty.

In fact, Li Yuan's thoughts were not difficult to guess, he just didn't want to hand over the emperor's rights so early, so a powerful prince was not what Li Yuan wanted to see at all.Of course, a Li Shimin who can completely defeat Li Jiancheng and has countless military exploits makes Li Yuan worry that Li Shimin will be another Yang Guang.

In fact, even if Li Shimin bribed Li Jiancheng's confidant Donggong Zuowei to lead Yang Wenqian, Li Jiancheng was charged with treason, but in that case, Li Yuan still had no intention of abolishing the prince and replacing him with the king of Qin.

In fact, without Li Shimin, Li Yuan would also carry other princes.During the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, Li Yuan was a referee, and when he saw who was weak, he would sidestep the fight.

Last time because the Turks threatened Li Yuan, Li Yuan planned to use Chen Ying as an abandoned son to calm the anger of the Turks. Li Jiancheng mobilized the officials of the East Palace faction to break the bowl with Li Yuan.Although Li Yuan failed to succeed in the end, a estrangement between Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's father and son arose.

The disheartened Li Jiancheng got a heart disease and pushed away all the big and small things in the court. In this case, Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to rise in the court.Naturally, Li Yuan wouldn't mind having Li Shimin divide Li Jiancheng's power. It was Li Yuan's original intention to use King Qin to check and balance Li Jiancheng.

However, out of Li Yuan's instinct, he absolutely didn't want Li Jiancheng to be suppressed just now, and then a political force stronger than Li Jiancheng rose up here.

Liu Wenjing was so confused that it was a god-sent opportunity at this time, but seeing the attitudes of Li Jiancheng and the officials in the East Palace, Chen Ying was nothing but disappointed.

Chen Ying frowned. It was obviously not a wise move to part ways with Li Jiancheng at this time. Although Li Jiancheng's East Palace was sluggish, and Li Jiancheng's enemy was the wise and wise Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng had a righteous name after all, and There is no shortage of capable ministers and officials in the East Palace.

At least before the Xuanwu Gate, Wei Zheng had repeatedly responded to Li Jiancheng that if he wanted the world to have long-term peace and stability, he must first kill King Qin.It is a pity that Li Jiancheng did not adopt Wei Zheng's opinion. If Li Jiancheng could make good use of these people, he might be able to reverse the decline.Li Gang, Wei Zheng, and Wang Gui are all national scholars, and Xue Wanche and Feng Li are also generals.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying still decided to treat himself as a living horse doctor, and quietly tried to ask: "His Royal Highness, I don't know if I should say something or not!"

"When did you become timid in front of me and dare not speak?" Li Jiancheng asked strangely.

Chen Ying cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty named the eldest son of King Qin Chengqian. As long as the news spreads, there will be many traitors in the court, and they will flock to him. At this time, fighting with King Qin is afraid of delaying the common people's society. Therefore, I advise the prince to avoid the sharp edge for now!"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered, and he looked at Wang Gui.Youyou said with a smile: "I also know this truth, so why not let Liu Wenjing turn black and white, pointing at a deer as a horse?"

"How do you know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse?" Chen Yingdao: "I heard that there is a six-foot alley in Feng County, and it was a good story for a while!"

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Six Foot Alley, why is this?"

"It is said that the former Suizhou prefect Zhu Seng Ning's mansion was adjacent to Zhang Zheng's ancestral house in Feng County. There was a gap between Zhu's family and it was always used as a passageway. Later, Zhang Zheng wanted to build a house and wanted to occupy it across the border. Zhu's family refused to accept it. Both sides When a dispute occurred, they sued the county government. Because the two families were both prominent and distinguished families, the county magistrate was in a dilemma and could not decide for a long time. Zhu Sengning's family saw that there was no reason to dispute, so they sent a letter to Zhu Sengning to tell Zhu Sengning about the matter. After Zhu Sengning read it, he thought the matter was simple, so he picked up his pen and ink, and wrote four poems on his family letter: "A piece of paper is only for the wall, so it doesn't matter if it is three feet.The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen. "

The Zhu family felt deeply guilty when they got the poem, and they gave up the three-foot foundation without hesitation. Seeing this, the Zhang family felt that the Zhu family was powerful and powerful, but did not bully others. .A six-foot-wide alleyway was formed, which was named "Six Foot Alley".The comity of the two families has also been passed down as a good talk. "

Li Jiancheng stepped forward and pointed at Chen Ying, laughing loudly: "I have heard about Zhu Sengning, and he is a shepherd, and he is honest, but I have never heard of it. This Zhu Sengning has such a poetic talent... "

"Also... Who is this guy, but I have never heard of it." Wang Gui stepped forward to make up the knife without hesitation.

When Chen Ying heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.The rumor of Six Foot Alley may have existed in history, but I vaguely remember that it should be a story from the Qing Dynasty.Chen Ying painted a ladle according to the gourd, but he didn't expect to be exposed on the spot.

Li Jiancheng walked up to Chen Ying and said, "Mencius said: When a ruler treats his ministers like brothers and feet, he will treat him like his heart; if he treats his ministers like dogs and horses, he will treat him like a countryman; The minister regards the king as an enemy. If you and I are a king and a minister, can't Chen Qing open his heart?"

When Chen Ying saw that Wei Zheng's eyes were cramping, he suddenly realized that Li Jiancheng pretended to be like this on purpose, especially Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Feng Li, and Li Yuan were all cooperating with Li Jiancheng in acting, the purpose was just to test his own experience.

Chen Ying wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and realized that Li Jiancheng had already seen this situation, not because he couldn't see it.

Wang Gui smiled slightly and said: "General Chen is quick-witted and decisive, and has extraordinary insight, which can be of great use!"

Li Yuan cupped his hands and said to Li Jiancheng: "Liu Wenjing presents such a great gift, if His Highness refuses to accept it, it would be unreasonable!"

Especially the four words "unreasonable" are murderous.

However, Chen Ying also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, unknowingly, he actually entered the list of the heart of the East Palace.

Li Jiancheng sighed softly and said, "People have no intention of hurting others, but tigers have the intention of hurting others."

While Chen Ying was stunned, all the officials of the Eastern Palace discussed a way to cheat Liu Wenjing.

Chen Ying secretly thought that Liu Wenjing might be dreaming of supporting Li Shimin as the crown prince at this time, but he didn't know that disaster was imminent.
