Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 730 The Truth I Touched Inadvertently
The first forty-three chapters inadvertently touched the truth

"Third brother-in-law, what about the real one? What about the fake one? The real one may be fake, but the fake one can also become real. The key is whether you need it or not?" Hearing Chen Ying's words, Li Yuanji He smiled rather disapprovingly:

If these words came from Li Shimin's mouth, Chen Ying would not be surprised at all.From Li Jiancheng's mouth, Chen Ying also felt that it should be taken for granted.But only when it came from Li Yuanji's mouth, Chen Ying was quite surprised.

Chen Ying fell silent.He had to admit that even if he was born in an emperor's family, it was not easy for such a brat.In fact, Chen Ying also knew very well that when Li Shimin was assassinated, it didn't matter who the murderer was.

Since ancient times, there have been many loyal ministers who died unjustly and subjugated.

Li Yuanji looked at Chen Ying who was silent, and smiled slightly: "Third brother-in-law, we are also considered family members. I naturally believe in you. If you really want to do something, he will definitely not be safe, let alone Let a few fools do this, but... I believe it is useless, the key is that someone wants to pour this sewage on you!"

Chen Ying was also secretly wondering, it is only five years since Wude, does Li Shimin have to compose, direct and act in such a farce?

In fact, it is very useful to pretend to be miserable and pitiful in this way. The recent court reviews are very unfavorable to Prince Li Jiancheng.Fortunately, Wei Zheng was not an idiot, so he asked the prince not to explain, but to pretend to be sick and stay behind closed doors.

Now Li Tang's court is surprisingly calm, Li Shimin did not seize this opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Li Jiancheng did not fight for it.

On the surface, Chang'an is calm and calm, but a discerning eye can see at a glance that the princelings and Qin Wang's party are already in conflict, and it is difficult to get along with each other.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Man is a knife and I am a fish. What can I do?"

Li Yuanji chuckled and said, "Third brother-in-law, stop joking, how can I not know you?"

At this moment, Chen Ying suddenly asked: "Is the imperial court preparing for war?"

"Preparing for war?" Li Yuanji was slightly taken aback, "Preparing for what kind of battle?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "I have received news that since the beginning of spring, there has not been a drop of rain in Mobei, and drought is bound to cause disasters. The East Turks will inevitably suffer huge losses. There are more than 29 counties in the state, and everywhere will become the target of the Turks!"

Li Yuanji said: "The court has its own calculations on this matter, the key is you, third brother-in-law..."

"What am I?" Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "The court's preparations for war, Liangzhou's preparations, and Lingzhou's preparations are the major events. His Royal Highness King Qin was assassinated in Taiyuan. No matter how dissatisfied His Majesty was with me, it was nothing more than jealousy. This autumn, if Bian There is a problem in the state. At that time, millions of people will be in danger of military disaster. When the time comes, the government and the people will attack each other. Not to mention the official position, whether you can save your life or not is in doubt. Go back and tell the prince that it is useless to think wildly. He really did it, even the gods can't save him; if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't allow others to point the deer at the wrong place. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and will not be confused by others. Do his own errands well, don't go out of his way, and be careful to offend His Majesty If you don’t have the taboo, then even the gods can’t save him!”

Li Yuanji's expression became very strange. He looked at Chen Ying in puzzlement and said, "Third brother-in-law, I don't understand."

Chen Yingdao: "What don't you understand?"

Li Yuanji said indignantly: "The second child is now turning black and white, calling a deer a horse. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart! Are you not worried at all?"

"Worried about His Majesty ordering me to die?"

Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly.If it was in the past, Chen Ying was really an ant under Li Yuan's hands, he could be crushed to death with just a finger movement.But today, Chen Ying has already lived in Xizhou Daoxingtai Shangshu Zuopushe, from the second rank of the Western Regions Protector, and Marshal of the Marching Army. Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible for Li Yuan to be executed without guilt.

As a real feudal official, if Li Yuan wants to get rid of Chen Ying, he must use various reasons to strip Chen Ying of his contact with the army, or let Chen Ying return to the army to report on his duties, or he will be promoted secretly. Chen Ying must be transferred first. Return to Chang'an, or transfer Chen Ying's generals to take control of the Anxi Army.

However, these signs were absent.It also meant that Li Yuan had no intention of touching Chen Ying at all.

Besides, Chen Ying is not a child, he has experienced a lot, and knows that Li Yuanji is a little too anxious.

There is something wrong with being anxious.

Ordinarily, even if Li Jiancheng had countermeasures or counterattack ideas, it would be impossible for Li Yuanji to act as a messenger. After all, Li Yuanji, as a powerful leader of the princeling party, had a big and conspicuous goal. When he left Liangzhou, Li Shimin might have already known the news.

Chen Ying said with a faint smile: "Sanhu, when you come to Xizhou, you just wander around. The scenery here is beautiful, and the food is delicious!"

A look of disappointment flashed in Li Yuanji's eyes, but he concealed it very well, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

However, it was this moment of disappointment that Chen Ying keenly captured.

Seeing Li Yuanji's disappointed eyes, Chen Ying suddenly realized.

It turned out that Li Yuanji still wanted to use himself as a gunman!

Chen Ying seems to have accidentally discovered the truth hidden in a corner of history.

According to the "Old Tang Book", on the first day of June in the ninth year of Tang Wude (626), Prince Li Jiancheng held a night banquet in the East Palace and invited Li Shimin to attend.During the banquet, Li Shimin suddenly vomited blood after drinking a few glasses of wine, and almost died.Just three days later, the "Xuanwumen Incident" broke out, and the direction of history was completely changed.

In this regard, some people think that it is precisely because Li Shimin is destined to be the real dragon emperor that he was lucky enough to escape the fatal night banquet.In fact, there has never been a lack of doubts about this banquet.Many people think that this incident is purely a fiction of Zhenguan Shichen, and it does not exist in history.So, what is the truth?Is this banquet, which is enough to determine the direction of history, a fiction?
In fact, Chen Ying also had great hesitation about this.Before the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng completely suppressed Li Shimin, and planned to split up the generals in the Qin Palace. Under that circumstance, Li Shimin had already lost the chance to compete for the crown prince.

Even if Li Jiancheng wanted to poison Li Shimin to death, he did not dare to let him die at the banquet held by him, because it would be tantamount to blatant murder.At the time when Li Yuan still wanted to level the bowl of water, it was also very detrimental for Li Jiancheng to do so—poisoning his own brother was not a small crime.

Li Jiancheng, who has always had an advantage in the struggle, should not have made such a bad move.Therefore, Li Shimin was poisoned.Because although Li Shimin was poisoned, he did not die.Li Yuan did not believe that Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin, because first, Li Jiancheng was lenient, and second, it was completely unnecessary.Third, this is more like Li Shimin's bitter trick.So Li Yuan didn't deal with Li Jiancheng either.

It seems that this is not like the eldest and the second taking the throne, I am afraid that Li Yuanji is not willing to be lonely.

As one of Li Yuan's three sons, if Li Shimin died of poisoning and Li Jiancheng couldn't get rid of the notoriety of poisoning his younger brother, then the most likely thing is that Li Jiancheng was abolished as the prince and died in seclusion, while Li Yuanji successfully counterattacked. Take the position as the fourth child.

Chen Ying had vaguely guessed, and seeing Li Yuanji impatiently instigate Chen Ying to fight back, it probably wasn't out of his help and loyalty to Li Jiancheng.In this context, Li Jiancheng's best solution is to stop his efforts.

Any disturbance in the wind and grass could trigger the final fight between Prince Qin's Mansion and the East Palace.

If Chen Ying was really treated unfairly, Li Xiuning would definitely not sit idly by, and she would definitely fight back. In that case, the court would probably be even more lively.

Li Yuanji left, and Chen Ying stood in front of the window, writing on a piece of paper.There was no ink on his pen, but there was a bowl of rice soup beside him.

On that piece of paper, the handwriting was everywhere, but there was no writing that should have been left.Zhou Qing stood beside him, frowning, watching seriously.

After Chen Ying finished writing, he put down his pen lightly, picked up the paper, dried it gently, and handed it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing looked up and down the blank paper with no writing on it, and looked at Lin Fu in confusion.

Chen Ying took out a fire knife and flint from his bosom, lit the fire, lit the candles on the table, then stepped aside and waved his hands.

Zhou Qing stepped forward suspiciously, took the paper, and put it on the candle for a while.

Gradually, the handwriting appeared on the paper.

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Ying differently, and said softly, "Is this the way to transmit information in the military?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "It can be used for ordinary news, but for really confidential and important matters, there are even more secretive methods."

After saying that, Chen Ying took another small wooden box from the closet. Chen Ying sat down, looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Take this box with you, take it back to Chang'an City, and give it to A Lang!"

Zhou Qing said: "Is this the way to exchange news in the future?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "Chang'an is about to have a storm, and Madam will use her righteousness at some point. If she gets involved, it may be difficult to get out. You tell Madam, I miss her, and let him bring the young master to the Western Regions." Bar!"

……

On the banks of the Yu River in Chang'an, there is a sparkling river surface and an official road made of asphalt and stones.

On the official road, a carriage was slowly moving forward, and there were sixteen healthy servants on horseback at the front and back of the carriage.

In the bushes in the distance, there are black shadows moving quickly from time to time.Several Tuomu longbows were bent into an arc, and the black triangular arrows shone coldly under the moonlight.

Lights flickered in the direction of Chenjiabao in the distance.

Li Xiuning was flipping through the ledger in the carriage, while He Yue'er held the lamp and sat beside her to illuminate her.

He Yue'er muttered, "Your Highness, the news in Chang'an City is very unfavorable to Lang Jun, but there is no news from the palace yet."

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "There is no news, but it is good news. This shows that Daddy still believes in Chen Lang. You should check it out and find out who the snobs are. You are going to die and practice..."

"You don't need to check the servants to know!" He Yue'er said angrily, "It's that fat man, Changsun Wuji, jumping up and down, wantonly!"

Li Xiuning said indifferently: "Guanyin's maidservant is a virtuous person, but this compatriot is really..."

He Yue'er lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, I'm not worried about Mr. Lang, but you have to be careful with Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Xiuning smiled coldly and said, "What? Does he still dare to rebel?"

He Yue'er approached and said: "I heard that Changsun Wuji provoked many people outside, it's nothing..."

Before the words fell, there was a piercing sound in the night sky.

call out--

Immediately after the sound of "dong", a feathered arrow shot through the wall of the carriage compartment.

Li Xiuning and He Yue'er stared at the triangular arrow piercing through the wooden wall, staring at each other in amazement.

He Yue'er immediately drew out the soft sword at her waist, shielded it in front of Li Xiuning and said, "Master Ma, leave two alive!"

At this moment, the sound of feather arrows piercing the sky sounded one after another in the night sky.

Li Xiuning took his time and pulled down a wrench on the wall of the carriage.There was only a loud click.

At this time, the arrow was nailed to the carriage, making a golden clanging sound.

The guards outside the carriage were hit by arrows from time to time, screaming and falling off the horse.

Ma Sanbao slashed two sharp arrows with his knife, and suddenly there was a messy sound of horseshoes.

Ma Sanbao's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Princess, go quickly, I will stay in the queen!"
