Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 799

Chapter Two One and Two

"Sanniang, we've known each other for six years. You should be the one who knows me best!" Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said very seriously, "Do you see that I have ambitions?"

Li Xiuning asked himself, apart from Chen Ying being good at leading troops to fight and training elite troops, he didn't do much other than know how to tinker with some weird things and farm the land.As Chen Ying's wife, Li Xiuning could intervene in all of Chen Ying's financial expenditures. Chen Ying never used his abundant capital to bribe any courtiers.

If Chen Ying is really ambitious, she really can't see it!

"However, you also understand that it doesn't really matter whether I have ambition or not!" Chen Ying said with a wry smile, "The important thing is that I have the ability and capital to aspire to the throne."

Li Xiuning was silent. As Li Yuan's daughter, she not only knew Chen Ying, but at the same time, she knew Li Yuan better.Li Yuan is a person who is very used to killing threats in the cradle.For example, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were captured almost one after another and sent to Chang'an.

Wang Shichong extorted violently, killed the king and usurped the throne, eradicated dissidents, killed all directions, and caused disasters in the entire Central Plains. It is said that Wang Shichong deserved to die, but Li Yuan pardoned Wang Shichong very generously.Dou Jiande is generous and benevolent, he shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and struggled with the people. Even now, two years after Dou Jiande's death, Liu Shishan used his banner to rebel in Hebei. In just three months, Liu Shishan restored Hebei's 39 prefectures There are 300 million followers, which shows how popular Dou Jiande is.

It was precisely because Dou Jiande was so popular that Li Yuan killed Dou Jiande, because Dou Jiande had the strength and ability to threaten the ruling foundation of the Li Tang court.

Li Xiuning stepped forward and hugged Chen Ying's arm and said, "I know what you are worried about, don't worry, I will never let things get out of control!"

"Can you rest assured?" Yang Rong looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Although Her Highness Princess Pingyang is a princess, but..."

Li Xiuning didn't wait for Yang Rong to finish, and said with a displeased face: "This is our own family's business, Mrs. Wu Yang, don't you feel that you are too lenient?"

Yang Rong got up and said tit for tat: "At the beginning of Dou Jiande's case, the crown prince tried to protect Dou Jiande, and even knelt in front of Wude Hall for three days and two nights, but what happened? Princess Pingyang thought that your ability is better than the crown prince's." big?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning was speechless.

In fact, Chen Ying advised Li Jiande at that time: "If Dou Jiande dies, Hebei will rebel!"Li Jiancheng remembered Chen Ying's judgment, and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he tried his best to protect Dou Jiande from rebellion, but Li Yuan did not take into account Li Jiancheng's thoughts. Not only did he not agree to pardon Dou Jiande, but instead he denounced Li Jiancheng and resolutely executed Dou Jiande.

This is a fact, and Li Xiuning really has no way to refute it.

Yang Rong said with a cold smile: "Little cousin now has tens of thousands of elite generals in his hands, so he will be safe and sound. Now that this accident, there is no guarantee that no one in the court will take care of him and concoct an injustice. Little cousin can still do it now." How to do it? Go back to Chang'an and take the post of Great Situ? I'm afraid that when you arrive in Chang'an, you will not meet a nameless Great Situ, but the Chang'an Sky Prison!"

Li Xiuning turned around and looked at Chen Ying who bowed his head silently and said, "Chen Lang, what do you think should be done?"

"Report it truthfully!" Chen Ying said with a wry smile, "I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

Li Xiuning's hand unconsciously clenched Chen Ying's hand, and tremblingly said: "Chen Lang..."

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's worried face, and felt tangled in his heart.Chen Ying is not a selfless saint, and he also knows that at this time, if there is a real rebellion, it will be hurt by relatives and quick by enemies. However, Chen Ying will not be Yue Fei, and he will not become Yue Fei.

Chen Ying sighed and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If your majesty thinks that Chen Ying is guilty, why should Chen Ying cherish this body!"

Chen Ying's words were very beautiful, but he was more determined in his heart: "Fuck the royal power and wealth, if the Lord of the Underworld wants to kill me, I want to pluck a few of his beards down, and I want him to hang his hands and wait for death. No!"

Li Xiuning is not a fool. From the perspective of the Li family, it is necessary to weaken the local authority and bring the power back to the central government, otherwise it will form a local separatist regime.

In fact, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a phenomenon like Chen Ying was not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon. Although Jianghuai Du Fuwei’s tens of thousands of Jianghuai changed flags, Du Fuwei’s order was far more effective than Li Yuan’s imperial decree , But if Chen Ying is really asked to let go of his military power, I am afraid that at that time, the impeachment memorials about Chen Ying will be overwhelming like snowflakes.

"Giving up the military power will only lead to death!" Li Xiuning thought silently, suddenly she turned around and picked up Li Yuan's imperial edict, and put it on the tea stove, the charcoal in the tea stove slowly ignited the imperial edict.

Chen Ying originally thought that Li Xiuning would stand in the consideration of Li Yuan and the Li family for thousands of years, and persuade him to go back to Chang'an to defend himself to Chen Ying, but he did not expect that Li Xiuning would actually burn Li Yuan's imperial decree!
Chen Ying looked at this scene and said in surprise: "Sanniang, you..."

"Don't say anything!" Li Xiuning's eyes flashed fiercely, and she looked at Yang Rong and said, "You haven't seen the imperial mission, nor have you seen any imperial decrees!"

Yang Rong nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course I haven't seen it before!"

"It's fine if you don't have one!" Li Xiuning looked at Yang Rong and the steward beside Yang Rong and said, "You are all smart people, don't do stupid things!"

Chen Ying said dumbfoundedly: "San Niang, are you trying to deceive yourself by doing this?"

"Let's see what Dad has to say!" Li Xiuning stretched out her hand to touch her lower abdomen, and said with a determined face, "No matter what, I can't let my child lose his father before he is born!"

Chen Ying was slightly taken aback, and then said happily: "San Niang, what did you say? You have it?"

Li Xiuning nodded.

Yang Rong quietly exited the lobby, leaving the space for Li Xiuning and Chen Ying!

……

On the Weishui River in Chang'an, a painting boat was quietly rowing on the river.The sound of silk and bamboo floated in the boat, and the singer also sang Wu Nong's soft language ballads in the boat.At this moment, another awning boat approached the painting boat quietly.The two boats were approaching, a plank protruded from the boat, Changsun Wuji was the first to appear at the hatch, and then he dodged to reveal Li Shimin behind him.

Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo on the original painting boat, the drunk-eyed Du Fuwei looked at Li Shimin and said, "It's you?"

Li Shimin looked Du Fuwei up and down, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's me!"

Du Fuwei shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have come!"

But Li Shimin said: "I have to come!"

Li Shimin said, walked up to Du Fuwei and sat down.

Du Fuwei smiled, and waved his hand to signal all the singers and musicians to step down. If there was a big boat, Du Fuwei, Kan Leng, Changsun Wuji, and Li Shimin were left in an instant.

Du Fuwei pointed to the dishes and said, "Reheat the dishes."

A group of waiters poured out from behind the painting boat, and filed over to take away the bowls on the table.

Du Fuwei looked at Li Shimin with a calm face and said, "I don't know what's the important thing for His Royal Highness King Qin to condescend to you?"

Li Shimin didn't answer Du Fuwei's words directly, but looked at Du Fuwei lightly and said: "Brother Du, have you ever been to Guanzhong before?
Du Fuwei shook his head and said: "No, I have only been to Henan and Shandong before!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Is the climate here in Guanzhong suitable?"

Du Fuwei wrapped his fur clothes tightly around his body, sighed and said: "I didn't expect the autumn in Guanzhong to be colder than the winter in Jiangnan. I'm not used to Guan, the climate is too dry..."

Changsun Wuji smiled and didn't answer.

Li Shimin said: "Brother Du wants to go back to Jiangnan?"

Du Fuwei smiled wryly and said: "It's hard for people to leave their hometown, and it's hard to leave their hometown. Who would not want to? However, in front of His Royal Highness Qin Wang, a certain family can only say, happy here, don't think about Chu!"

Li Shimin said: "If Brother Du believes in Shimin, Shimin can help Brother Du return to Jianghuai!"

"Help me back to Jianghuai?" Du Fuwei staggered to his feet with drunken eyes, poured Li Shimin a glass of wine crookedly and said, "How can you help me go back to Jianghuai?"

Li Shimin's smile froze, and after a while, he said awkwardly: "I think I, Li Shimin..."

Du Fuwei said carelessly: "His Royal Highness, today we only talk about the situation, regardless of state affairs, come and invite wine!"

Li Shimin stood up, and said with regret: "I thought I hit it off with Brother Du, if Brother Du is willing to help Shimin, you and I win again!"

Du Fuwei smiled and said, "Please drink!"

Li Shimin said: "Brother Du, is my sincerity not enough?"

Du Fuwei said: "Not enough!"

Li Shimin asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

"As long as you are not blind, you can see the problem between you and the prince!" Du Fuwei smiled, pointed to Li Shimin and said: "This matter is the biggest problem in Datang... question."

Li Shimin looked at Du Fuwei suspiciously.

Changsun Wuji watched Du Fuwei and Li Shimin's performance with great interest.

Du Fuwei said while drinking: "Kan Leng, sort out all the money and food accounts of our Jianghuai army, land soldiers, tomorrow... no, give it to King Qin now!"

Kan Leng bowed and said, "Obey the foster father!"

With that said, Kan Leng turned and left.

Du Fuwei looked at Li Shimin and said: "His Royal Highness, is the sincerity of a certain family enough?"

Li Shimin bowed and said, "Shimin has nothing but this body!"

With that said, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji winked.Changsun Wuji understood, took out a few sticks of incense from his bosom, and set up an incense table directly in the painting boat.

Li Shimin said: "Li Shimin is willing to marry Du Fuwei to Jinlan. I don't know what brother wants?"

Du Fuwei and Li Shimin kowtow to the sky in front of the incense burner.

Du Fuwei said: "I, Du Fuwei, become brothers of the opposite sex with Li Shimin today. I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month...

Li Shimin said: "I, Li Shimin, become brothers of the opposite sex with Du Fuwei today. I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month...

The two stood up after saluting.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "A few days ago, I thought that I no longer have an elder brother... Now that I have another elder brother so soon, God really treats me well..."
