Chapter 14 Li Erlang What are you going to do? (two more)

"Because we have too many scruples, and the steel resources in our hands will only make His Majesty jealous!" Chen Ying was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Steel in our hands can't play its due role at all. For hundreds of years, The price of steel remains high, I can lower the price, but it will inevitably be used by people with ulterior motives, saying that we are inviting people to buy."

Li Xiuning nodded, as if she had accepted Chen Ying's reason.However, Li Xiuning is not easy to be fooled, she asked again: "Is there any other reason?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's true, steel, I let everyone in the world use it cheaply!"

Looking at Li Xiuning's puzzled look, Chen Ying explained: "Steel is a country's strategic resource, but smelting steel is another business, and this business involves too much, especially in the future, when Datang will build buildings all over the states." The chi roads in the county will cost hundreds of millions of steel. If the imperial court wants to build chi roads, the cost issue must be considered. "

After hearing what Chen Ying said, Li Xiuning not only did not understand, but was even more puzzled.

Chen Ying sighed, got up and went to the window, looking at the sky outside the window.

"We Huaxia people are not afraid of hardships or burdens, but we are like fish on the pallet, and have always been slaughtered!" Chen Ying sighed and said: "The Great Tang established the country with military force, and all the people are soldiers, but except for the sixteenth in Chang'an City Except for the army of Wei, including the frontier army and the government soldiers, how about all the soldiers and horses? They are still using the horizontal knife that cuts three copper coins, and they are using Tuomu to put them in the fire. Burning, it’s as simple as wooden spears, once they encounter invasion, they don’t even have a steel knife, they don’t even have a steel knife, and they use crude weapons, or even bare hands, to fight the Turks, Tubo, and Liao people. Every time I think of this situation, I His heart is like a knife. This is a benevolent government that can benefit all people in the world. It is the duty of His Majesty, and it cannot be replaced by ministers."

Li Xiuning didn't expect Chen Ying to think so, and she was moved immediately, because Datang also poured her infinite efforts into it, no one could love this Datang more than Li Xiuning.Chen Ying actually made such a big sacrifice in order to make the Tang Dynasty permanent and the country continue.

Li Xiuning's eyes were filled with mist, and she choked up and said, "Chen Lang, I misunderstood you!"

Chen Ying heard the voice and felt something was wrong.

Turning around suddenly, she found that Li Xiuning's eyes were glistening with tears, and the tears were falling down.Chen Ying's heart tightened, he took Li Xiuning's hand with both hands, and said tenderly: "San Niang, what's wrong with you, why are you still crying?"

"Our Li family owes you too much!" Li Xiuning said emotionally, "In the next life, San Niang will be considered..."

Before Li Xiuning could say it, Chen Ying kissed Li Xiuning's red lips affectionately.

"Boom!" Li Xiuning's mind went blank for an instant.

She struggled feebly, and Chen Ying's big hands moved unscrupulously around Li Xiuning's body.

Facing Chen Ying's attack, Li Xiuning was quickly defeated and repeatedly begged for mercy.But when Chen Ying was about to go further, Li Xiuning stopped straight away: "No, no intercourse during the daytime!"

Chen Ying had no choice but to stop.

Seeing Chen Ying's disappointed look, Li Xiuning felt soft, pointed at the sky and said, "I'll give it to you when it gets dark!"

Chen Ying sighed and said, "I miss it so much that it gets dark!"

……

In the Ganlu Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Yuan lay comfortably on the throne, and Concubine Yin De fed him cherries mouth to mouth.Since Concubine Yin De gave birth to her eighth son, Li Yuanxiang, her figure has become more plump, especially her breasts, which are extremely spectacular.

Li Yuan and Concubine Yin De were eating cherries, and unknowingly rolled down on the throne, and the two of them couldn't help but be confused for a while.The Zhongchang servant Chen Qi walked into the Ganlu Hall with small steps, and he was used to seeing this scene.He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is asking Pei Xiangguo to see you!"

Unlike Chen Ying, who is easy to get up and down, Li Yuan seems to be able to send and receive freely in this respect. He gently pushed Concubine Yin De away, and said flatly: "I will love you again at night!"

Concubine Yin De looked at Chen Qi resentfully.

Chen Qi lowered his eyebrows and winked, not daring to look at Concubine Yin De squarely.

Concubine Yin De pouted, and changed Li Yuan's clothes. When Li Yuan packed his clothes, Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji came hand in hand.

"Greetings to my father, my majesty!"

Li Yuan was in a good mood, and Chen Ying gave him a big gift. The court could earn an extra one million guan in a year. Great convenience.Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "How's the discussion on Chen Ying going?"

Li Jiancheng murmured: "Reporting to my father, I have discussed with Pei Xiangguo. Chen Ying himself knows the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat, but the court is not good enough to really treat him poorly, and let the princes of the world say that the father treats meritorious officials poorly."

Li Yuan nodded approvingly and said, "Well... yes, I am not a mean and unkind person, so... what should I say in the end?"

Chen Ying defeated Wang Shichong first, then took Luoyang, and finally rescued Li Shimin from the fire and water. It can be said that Chen Ying turned the tide with his own strength in the battle of Luoyang.The Battle of Hebei was almost the sole effort of Chen Ying to fight against the entire Hebei Dou Jiande.

Capturing his queen and princess, and destroying his country, such credits, it is not too much to be named a king.However, Li Yuan also knew that it was not so easy to be a king with a different surname in Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Ying's grandfather, Hou Mo Chen Chong, was enshrined as Liang Guogong, Da Sikong, and Zhu Guogong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now that the father has granted Liang Guogong to Chen Ying, he must be very happy..., Zhu In the country, my son thought that this honorary officer was too low. Cao Guogong Li Shiji brought twelve prefectures to surrender, and his father gave him the state of Shangzhu, so Chen Ying should also be a state of Zhu at this time."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Then give him the first-class Liang Guogong, the founder of the country, with eight thousand households in the city. What about the ministry?"

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly and said: "Father, as for the job... There is no vacancy for the six ministers at the moment, and the rank of the servant is too low. What Pei Xiangguo means is to give Li Mi a job in Jiuqing... "

Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Pei Ji: "Find someone from Jiuqing? Is it Taichang Temple or Honglu Temple?"

Pei Ji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's Guanglu Temple..."

Li Yuan nodded: "Guang Luqing...not bad...very good...noble...leisure...very suitable..."

Then Li Yuan suddenly remembered that Li Xiuning had asked him to marry Cui Yingying for Luo Shixin, and then he asked again: "That Luo Shixin, how did you arrange it?"

Pei Ji took out a folded piece of paper from his bosom, and Chen Yingzheng, the servant of the Central Committee, was about to take it from Pei Zhong and pass it to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan stretched out his hand to take it without waiting for Chen Qi to step forward, and unfolded it: " Luo Shixin, Zuo Wuhou General, Cong Sanpin. Zhang Huaiwei, Shanzhou Military and Horse Chief - Cong Sanpin, Zhang Shigui Right Wuhou General - Cong Sanpin, Duan Zhigan Xiangzhou Military and Horse Chief... Cong Sanpin."

Li Yuan's face was neither happy nor angry, and Gu Bo was not surprised.

Pei Ji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is Cong Sanpin high?"

"Too high? Oh...not high, not high!" Li Yuan said with a smile, "I'm not a stingy person. From the rank of three officials, they can still afford it."

Only Li Jiancheng felt dissatisfied.Not to mention the several generals under Chen Ying's command, they were all promoted to rank three generals one by one.

However, Datang's regulation is like this.The third-rank and fourth-rank martial arts are a serious watershed.Below the fourth rank, these are actual military positions, and above the third rank, they are empty positions, and there will be no actual assignment. Once they are not on the expedition, they will have nothing to do.

Pei Ji played this move very smoothly.

Pei Ji smiled faintly, but said nothing.

Li Yuan pondered and said: "Since Pei Xiangguo has no objection, let's go to the middle door to draft an order!"

"Wait a minute!" Li Jiancheng said urgently: "Father, should we discuss Chen Ying's errand again?"

Although the Minister of Guanglu Temple belongs to the third-rank official system, this official position is an idle job, which is equivalent to the CPPCC of later generations.

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Master Guanglu Temple, isn't it good?"

Li Jiancheng murmured: "I think that putting Chen Ying in the position of Minister of Guanglu Temple is a waste of talents!"

"Look, what a mess!" Li Yuan pointed to Jindun beside Li Jiancheng and said, "What's there to say, I'm still waiting to hug the emperor's grandson as soon as possible, tell Chen Ying that he won't let me hug the emperor's grandson before , he is staying at Guanglu Temple, but Guanglu Temple does not have any errands, how about this, give Chen Yingjia the general of the town army!"

The General of the Zhenjun is the second-rank Wu San official in the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, from now on, Chen should enjoy the treatment of a second-rank military officer, and he will be the same as Shangshu Zuopushe, Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, Prince Shaobao, and Shifu. The general of the six guards, the governor of the capital, and the level of the protection of the capital.

At this point, Li Jiancheng is also very helpless. It is too powerful for Li Yuan to find this reason.

Of course, this is also because the balance between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin has been broken. Now Li Shimin has fallen to the bottom, while Li Jiancheng is the same for a while.

Just when Li Jiancheng was about to persuade him again, Chen Qi appeared in front of Li Yuan again, and said with a low eyebrow, "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Qin please see me!"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Xuan!"

Li Jiancheng said with a disappointed expression: "Father, my son and minister will resign!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Don't be busy, you and Erlang are brothers, why are you so tense?"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he immediately felt a toothache, and thought to himself: "Our brothers are like this, isn't it all because of you?"

Li Shimin first greeted Li Yuan, and then met Li Jiancheng with a pleasant face, as if the two of them were brothers and sisters.

However, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were just acting, and their acting was too fake, not to mention Pei Ji, even Li Yuan couldn't stand it anymore.

"Erlang, what's the important thing for you to enter the palace today?"

Li Shimin bowed and said: "Father, I have learned from the pain, after much deliberation, I finally realized my own shortcomings. My son is too impetuous, and his use of troops is too immature. As the saying goes, one general is incompetent, and the entire army is exhausted. My son-in-law decided to learn the art of war from the third sister, and I begged the emperor for mercy, and ordered the third sister-in-law to accept my son-in-law as a disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng became anxious immediately, and he said bluntly: "Erlang, what are you doing?"

"Brother Prince, my younger brother is really not messing around!" Li Shimin said with an unusually serious attitude: "My younger brother is not knowledgeable enough, and his leadership skills are not satisfactory. As the saying goes, people will fall behind if they don't learn, and their knives will rust if they don't sharpen them. Learn the art of war from my third brother-in-law!"

Li Yuan looked at the distraught Li Jiancheng with a half-smile, then at the serious Li Shimin, and said indifferently, "Be courageous after knowing your shame, and forge ahead knowing your insufficiency. You are very good, and I am very relieved."

Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan was getting sidetracked again.

Pei Ji lamented helplessly, Your Majesty, can you calm down for a while, this Turk is still in Dingxiang, and I don't know when it will come down.
