Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 839
Chapter [-]: The Pawn Crossing the River Tops the Cart

There is a saying that although the weight is small, it can weigh a thousand catties.Bibu doctor Xu Jingzong is such a weight. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, don’t look at him as a fifth-rank doctor. The key is that except for the three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, other officials, whether civil servants or generals, whether central or Every place has the right to investigate.

However, how many of these officials in Datang could stand the investigation?

A sharp sword in Chen Ying's hand.

In the evening, Xu Jingzong was invited to the Furong Garden in the south of Chang'an City.At this time, Fanglin Garden in Furong Garden has been changed into the residence of Chen Ying and Li Xiuning.

Xu Jingzong was a smart man, when Chen Ying invited him here, he knew that Chen Ying needed him now.Although he has become a weight to weigh thousands of catties, Xu Jingzong is very clear that his official position has always been a favorite among various forces. Without the support of Chen Ying and Li Xiushi, he would not be able to secure his position as Bibu Langzhong.

On the way here, Xu Jingzong sat in the carriage and opened the residence newspaper from time to time, and listening to Xu Zhong's report on what happened in Chang'an City, Xu Jing said to Xu Jingzong: "Ah Lang, just this morning, the head of the Dali Temple Guan Ziqing, the prison official, was killed at home by a group of thugs, and he was chopped up on the spot!"

Xu Jingzong suddenly asked: "A few days ago, General Chen was imprisoned by His Majesty, is this Guan Ziqing under the jurisdiction?"

Xu Zhong nodded and said, "Yes!"

Hearing this, Xu Jingzong took a deep breath.

In this world, the most unbelievable thing is a coincidence.But Xu Jingzong can be sure that this is definitely not a coincidence. It must be that Guan Ziqing has been instructed by some big figures to deal with Chen Ying secretly in the sky prison.

Xu Jingzong's guess was very accurate, almost identical to the truth.

When Xu Jingzong came to Fanglin Garden, Chen Ying, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Li Siye, Chen Qian and others sat around the big round table to eat.Li Siye and Chen Qian each held a huge bowl and competed to drink porridge.

Looking at Xu Jingzong's arrival, Chen Ying pointed to an empty seat at the bottom and said, "Yanzu, have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat!"

Xu Jingzong pulled a Jindun and sat down gently.It is said to be sitting, but in fact the buttocks are just a little bit next to each other.

A maid brought the dishes and tableware to Xu Jingzong.Xu Jingzong was also flattered.

Chen Ying's dinner is mainly light, although it is not rich, but the taste is very good, even the most common dried radish, Xu Jingzong eats it very sweet.

Watching Li Siye finish the porridge in the bowl, Chen Ying winked at Li Daozhen, and Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang and the others led Li Siye and Chen Qian out.

The diligent servants cleaned up the leftovers on the dining table, and then served tea.

Chen Ying picked up the tea, blowing it gently, and asked casually: "Yanzu, do you know what I'm looking for you for?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "Know a thing or two!"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "This general thinks that I am just a spectator, but some people don't think so and insist on killing me. This encounter in the prison also sounded the alarm for me. This general disdains me. fight, but not be afraid to fight!"

Xu Jingzong nodded.

He knew exactly what kind of person Chen Ying was.He grew up step by step from a penniless soldier to the current Liang Guogong, and his official residence is from the second rank.To say that Chen Ying was kind, I'm afraid he had already been swallowed until there was not even a bone left.

Li Xiuning said: "The civil servants gathered in the Tiance Mansion are all staff members and do not hold real power. Even if they have real power, they are only insignificant officials. The military officials of the Tiance Mansion can be divided into three factions, one is from Taiyuan , just follow the old background of King Qin, such as Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, etc. These people are the best friends of King Qin, and they are closely related to King Qin's mansion; After the Duke died, he returned to the King of Qin's command, more for self-protection, but after fighting side by side in the battlefields, the original Wagang Army no longer exists, and has become the direct subordinate of the King of Qin..."

Chen Ying touched his nose in displeasure, and said with a wry smile: "Wagang generals, Qin Cheng Niu Xie, their loyalty cannot be underestimated..."

Li Xiuning frowned, showing a helpless expression and said: "There is a third faction, which is some generals who have neither foundation nor backing in the Tang Dynasty. The typical character is Yuchi Jingde. In the Tang Dynasty, apart from King Qin, none of them can rely on them, and they don't have their own backing background, so these people can only choose to rely on King Qin."

Xu Jingzong interjected, "According to the princess' analysis, which faction should we start with first?"

Chen Ying put away his smile, tapped lightly on the table with his hands, and suddenly said: Logically speaking, the first thing to deal with is Yuchi Jingde and other generals.However, I think it is the best policy to start with the old Wagang general first. "

Li Xiuning asked suspiciously: "How can you see it?
Chen Ying said with a smile: "The old Wagang generals do not refer to Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Niu Junda, and Xie Yingdeng. When Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, there were [-] to [-] Wagang soldiers. With the passage of time, these Wagang soldiers are now all over the twelve. The guards are also the most important backbone of the Xuanjia Army, and they directly lead the guards during the war, if you want to capture the army, you can't avoid these soldiers, this is one of them."

Li Xiuning nodded repeatedly.

Chen Yingdao: "Secondly, the surrendered generals of Tiance Mansion, such as Qin Qiong, Cheng, Xie, and Niu, are all from the third rank in their current official positions, and they have come from behind, and their military merit rewards are even more impressive. With such treatment, Yuan Cong and surrendered generals are not as good. Aren’t they jealous? Even if the General Department has no idea, what about those old people in Taiyuan Yuancong?”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "According to what the general said... who should be investigated first?"

Chen Yingdao: "Whose evidence do you hold?"

Xu Jingzong smiled shyly and said: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the general. The subordinates now have evidence of Cheng Zhijie. In the past three months, there has been no war under Cheng Zhijie's command, but the alcohol consumption has increased by [-]% compared to usual. He stole a full six thousand catties!"

"What six thousand catties?" Chen Ying was also taken aback when he heard this, and said, "How come there are so many?"

Chen Ying knew that Cheng Zhijie was fond of wine. He wanted to get Cheng Zhijie up to three hundred and five catties, but he didn't expect to get six thousand catties of alcohol, which was too scary.Alcohol is very expensive. After all, the production of wine in this era is not as clear as that of later generations. Even if Datang is fully producing, the output in a year is only 10,000+ catties.Six thousand catties of alcohol is enough to be sentenced.

Li Xiuning said: "It must be what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers. Cheng Zhijie is good at wine and often drinks medical alcohol as wine. How can his generals follow suit?"

"That's it, let's check Cheng Zhijie first!" Chen Yingdao: "Give Tiance Mansion a warning, don't mess with me if you have nothing to do!"

……

In Changsun's mansion, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji sit facing each other and drink.

The eldest grandson Wuji was in a happy mood. Although he did not get rid of Chen Ying this time, the prince continued to complain of illness, and the king of Qin was in charge of Zhongshu province as a minister.In this way, the daily operations of major affairs in the imperial court are in charge of the Minister of State, and the province of Zhongshu is responsible for major edicts and decisions.

In other words, Li Jiancheng, the prince of Jian Guo, has only one title left.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Du Bingcao, how will the outcome of this game be?

Du Yan said calmly, "As a master, the most worrying thing is that the subordinates are connected with each other, and if the ministers are united, the king will not be able to sleep."

Zhangsun Wuji nodded.

Du Yan continued: "Therefore, the King of Qin is powerful and the Crown Prince is weak, so His Majesty will help the Crown Prince and suppress the King of Qin; once the situation is reversed, and the Crown Prince is strong and the King of Qin is weak, His Majesty will appease the King of Qin and restrain the Crown Prince. This is the most common thing. The emperor's mind. Therefore, King Qin only needs to abide by two rules, and this time he will be victorious and undefeated."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked: "Which two?"

Du Yan said solemnly: "Let Your Majesty know that the relationship between King Qin and the Crown Prince is like water and fire; let Your Majesty understand that without His Majesty's protection, King Qin is definitely no match for the Crown Prince..."

Speaking of this, there was a sudden miserable scream...

"what……"

Changsun Wuji was startled, and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Come on, why are you coming back!"

After a short time, a servant came over and said, "Ah Lang, something has happened, please come and have a look..."

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to neglect, when he and Du Yan came to the front hall, they suddenly found blood dripping from the beam in the front hall.

Changsun Wuji was startled, pointed to an attendant and said, "Bring the ladder over here, go up and see what's going on!"

The servant did not dare to neglect, so he had to bite the bullet and look for the ladder. The servant brought the ladder and found a huge cloth bag on it. It flowed down the beam.

Seeing that the cloth bag was full of pieces of meat, the attendant was frightened out of his wits, screaming and rolling down the ladder.

At this time, it fell into Changsun Wuji's bag, although it was full of minced meat, but both Changsun Wuji and Du Yan were hard-hearted people, they were not afraid, especially Du Yan, who used his hands to chop the meat Pulling in the middle, Du Yan analyzed to Changsun Wuji while pulling the pieces of meat: "In this weather, the corpse will freeze outside within a quarter of an hour. According to the temperature in the hall, it will take at least half an hour." to melt!"

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji's eyes fell on a hand in the corpse's shredded flesh. This hand was different because it had six fingers.

Changsun Wuji said angrily with a livid face, "I know who the dead person is now. The Tiangao of Dali Temple led the prison history Guan Ziqing, known as Guan Liuzhi!"

Du Yan sighed: "What a good pawn, it's a pity, the pawn who crosses the river can support the big cart at the critical moment!"

Changsun Wuji's face was cloudy and uncertain, his eyes shot out with hatred, and gradually his eyes became a little dazed.

Du Yan washed his bloody hands in the sink, and said, "Find someone to bury it quickly!"

However, for a short time.Changsun Wuji didn't respond at all.

Du Yan stepped forward and pushed Changsun Wuji and said, "Changsun joins the army, are you okay!"

"No...it's okay!" Changsun Wuji trembled, obviously betraying his heart.

In fact, he was not only worried, but afraid.

Only he knew very well that this was done by Chen Ying. Since Chen Ying was able to throw Guan Ziqing's body on the beam of his hall, and it was in broad daylight, no one would notice it.Apparently, Chen Ying had the strength to get rid of him without anyone noticing.

The aristocratic clan kept a large number of dead men in captivity, and used the dead men to solve some dirty things that could not see the sun.After all, the Changsun family's family background and background are still a little bit worse.

Du Yan looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Changsun joins the army and wants to get back this place?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Du Yan in surprise and said, "Do you have a solution?"

"Yes..." Du Yan said: "Chen Ying has an old department named You Ziying, who is currently promoted to be the captain of the Anhuamen city gate. The door is easy to enter and exit, I can dispose of You Ziying at any time, and send the body to Chen Ying!"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji broke out in a cold sweat instead, and he lost his voice: "No...forget it, if we talk about dead men, our Qin Palace combined doesn't have as many dead men as Chen Ying alone. Chen Ying's man, it's no wonder he doesn't go crazy, since then, it will cause a decisive battle, and the crown prince can reap the benefits of the fisherman instead!"

……

Foreign officials like Cheng Zhijie, under normal circumstances, are corrupted, and no one will control them.After all, Cheng Zhijie is not only the deputy in charge of the soldiers and horses of Hedong, but also the commander of Tiance Admiral's Fuzuo Yima Army. The celebrities around Qin Wang Li Shimin, as long as Li Jiancheng is not ready to move Cheng Zhijie, they will never dare to touch him.

However, the bullets of Xu Jingzong, a doctor in Bibu, are now on the desk of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Liu Zhenghui, as one of the elders of Li Yuan, never intervened in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but right now, Li Jiancheng took the lead in attacking, and he also There is no way.

Liu Zhenghui was in a dilemma, and he dealt with Cheng Zhijie, offending the Qin Palace.If he didn't deal with it, he would offend Donggong. Both the left and right were great gods, and he couldn't afford to offend either one.

So, when Liu Zhenghui got up, he accidentally broke his leg and asked for sick leave.

Although Liu Zhenghui was sick, the Ministry of Punishments of the imperial court needed to continue to operate. From the Ministry of Punishments, Shangshu Taizhang was sent to Shangshu Province according to the procedure.Pei Ji looked at the memorial of the impeachment of Cheng Zhijie with a troubled expression on his face.

However, he didn't dare to hide this bullet. Once it was concealed, it would be tantamount to offending Donggong and Li Yuan.

The impeachment memorial was placed in front of Li Yuan, and Li Yuan immediately became angry.

Six thousand catties of alcohol, this alcohol can be blended into fine wine, Li Yuan is not ignorant of the fact that he wanted to use more in the palace, but was beaten back by the former Minister of the Ministry of War, the reason is very strong, life-saving things will be wasted?

Li Yuan had no choice but to reduce the use of the palace.In fact, the amount of alcohol that Li Yuan can receive in a year is only [-] catties, but thinking that Cheng Zhijie embezzled [-] catties in three months, Li Yuan turned pale with anger.

Li Yuan roared: "Come here, draw up an imperial edict!"

The officials in charge of making the imperial edict rushed in.

Li Yuandao: "I will pass on my order to transfer Cheng Zhijie, the first horse army on the left side of the Qin Palace, to be the governor of Kangzhou. From the date of receiving the order, I will take up the post within ten days."

Kangzhou is not Kangding. Datang established the Kangzhou General Administration Office in Jinkang County, western Guangdong (in today's Deqing County) in the fifth year of Wude, to take charge of the military affairs of the six states in western Guangdong.

According to later generations, from the Deputy Chief of Hedong to the Chief of Kangzhou is regarded as a promotion. After all, the area of ​​​​Hedong and Shanxi is incomparable with Guangdong in terms of population and economy.But in the Tang Dynasty, Kangzhou was still a barren area, and Cheng Zhijie came out of the river east to be the governor of Kangzhou. He was exiled, and it was still a very serious exile!
