Chapter 870 Once the emperor and the courtiers want to use it, use their own people

Chapter [-] Once the emperor and the courtiers want to use it, use their own people

Chen Ying unexpectedly discovered that there was a large scar on Zhang Zhongjian's back, which looked shocking.Chen Ying was secretly surprised. Zhang Zhongjian's kung fu was very high. In this era, he belonged to the pinnacle of existence. No one should be able to hurt Zhang Zhongjian.

Zhang Zhongjian noticed that Chen Ying was staring at his back, and said with a calm smile, "This injury is nothing!"

Chen Ying asked suspiciously: "The scar of the knife looks like it was stabbed by a not-so-sharp sharp object. In this world, there are still experts who can hurt you?"

"In front of the sky, human beings are nothing but ants!" Then, Zhang Zhongjian told Chen Ying about his two-year long-sea experience.With the excellent equipment provided by Chen Ying, Zhang Zhongjian led thousands of experts to attack Chikuzi Island, and discovered a huge silver mine on Chikuzi Island with an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

In this situation, Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but believe Chen Ying's words. He believed that on the Fusang Continent, [-] miles away from Chikuzi Island, there was a golden mountain made of gold, and there were also seeds that could produce tens of shi of grain per mu, as well as countless pearls and pearls. gem.

In order to be able to successfully reach the legendary Fusang Continent, Zhang Zhongjian was well prepared. He used years of accumulation to piece together eleven large ships with thousands of materials, and organized more than a thousand excellent sailors to prepare enough for thousands of people. Two years of food and water for food, began to board this expedition.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhongjian went very smoothly. He successfully arrived at Chamorro Island (Guam), and found what Chen Ying said about Chamorro Island bougainvilleas, ifer trees and fruit pigeons. Said Jinshan more and more confident.

However, after passing Chamorro Island, Zhang Zhongjian began to have bad luck. First, they encountered a violent gale. The mast with a diameter of one foot and six inches was directly blown off by the strong wind, and the mast with a diameter of two feet was blown off. Yu Yu's rudder was smashed by the huge waves. Coincidentally, the distance between the two out-of-control large ships was relatively close, which made the two large ships unable to control the direction. As a result, they collided with each other. One of the ships was knocked out with a big hole. It sank, and only a small part of the crew on board was rescued. The other ship was lucky. Although it was damaged, it could still persist after repairing it afterwards.

After the loss of a ship, Zhang Zhongjian's bad luck had just begun. They also encountered a thunderstorm at sea. The sea was covered with dark clouds. Countless thick thunderbolts rolled in the clouds, and thunderbolts fell on the sea from time to time. , This frightened the bearded man and hurriedly ordered the fleet to turn around, even deviated from the original course, but the thundercloud moved too fast, and finally the fleet was still wiped aside by the thundercloud, and a ship He was struck by lightning and caught fire, and several sailors were struck to death on the spot by lightning.

Although it was rescued in time, the ship lost its rescue value because it was struck by lightning and fell silent by itself.Although the phenomena of storms and lightning are rare, they are still within Zhang Zhongjian's acceptance, because these storms and lightning are only larger in scale than before, and it is not unheard of.

However, what happened later almost made Zhang Zhongjian doubt his life.Half a month after he lost two ships, accidents started to happen to the third Wanliao ship, which was hit and sunk by a huge fish. You must know that this is a huge ship.

Since ancient China did not have the concept of displacement or load capacity, people used customary materials to describe the size of ships. A piece of wood can float the weight of three adults in the water, which is equivalent to more than 300 catties, while 300 pieces of wood can float the weight of three adults in the water. For a large ship, it is equivalent to more than [-] million catties, or about [-] tons.

Such a big ship was like a giant in ancient times, but it was a pity that it was hit by a giant fish, causing the deck to leak and unfortunately sank.

Hearing this, Chen Ying guessed that Zhang Zhongjian might have encountered a blue whale that went out to sea for a breath. The blue whale is already the largest whale in the world, weighing more than [-] tons. It is indeed possible for a heavy sea ship to crash Hai Tongren's ship.

Faced with these setbacks, Zhang Zhongjian was not discouraged, but then a more terrifying situation began to appear. The fresh water at sea was far from enough.Such water quality cannot be directly drunk. Most of the sailors under Zhang Zhongjian's department were lost because they drank the deteriorated water, and then contracted diarrhea and malaria.In addition to diarrhea and malaria, most of the sailors also suffered from sepsis, and died one after another.

Hearing this, Chen Ying blamed himself deeply. Canned food and sealed water can be stored for a long time, at least half a year. Of course, Chen Ying is also very clear that the crew suffered from sepsis due to lack of vitamins, and vitamins can only be obtained from fresh vegetables. obtained from.This problem can be solved as long as there is a can.

Chen Ying fell into deep self-blame.

But Zhang Zhongjian fell into a deep sleep, maybe at this moment, he can really sleep peacefully.

Chen Ying came out of the bathroom and changed into light clothes.At this time, Chen Ying discovered that Zhang Zhongjian did not come alone, but led hundreds of people, dozens of huge carriages, loaded with countless sacks.

One of the carriages was loaded with a strong sour smell. Chen Ying opened the sack with a dagger and saw that they were all pineapples. Unfortunately, most of them had gone bad. Chen Ying didn't think much about these rotten pineapples. Unfortunately, after all, pineapple is only a kind of fruit, and it is only a subtropical fruit. There is no way to grow it in Guanzhong and the north.

In the second carriage, Chen Ying found that it was actually golden corn. Although these corns were not high-yield crops, they could barely be compared with Champa rice.However, corn stalks are still good feed, which will be a rich feed for as many as 70 war horses. The rods are broken and stirred, put into the cellar, and undergo natural fermentation, which will give a great impetus to Datang's animal husbandry.

Chen Ying counted them carefully. There are a lot of corn seeds. There are more than 20 vehicles and thousands of stones. Can be scaled.

Zhang Zhongjian brought many seeds, such as sweet potato, jicama, potato, cassava, pumpkin, peanut, sunflower, pepper, tomato, kidney bean, apple, pineapple, custard apple, guava, avocado, cashew nut, cocoa, American ginseng, tomato, etc. Papaya, upland cotton...

Especially chili peppers. The moment Chen Ying saw red chili peppers, he had the urge to cry. It has been more than six years, and he has not recognized the taste of spicy food for more than six years.

Chen Ying knew that when peppers were planted, only the seeds were needed. Except for the seeds, other parts could be eaten directly. Chen Ying cut the peppers with scissors while sifting out the peppers.

Chen Ying already has peppercorns, and now that there are peppers, it is completely possible to create the spicy hot pot of later generations, such as the spicy series of dishes, all of which can be made.

Chen Ying asked someone to freeze a whole sheep outside, and waited until the whole sheep was frozen into an ice sculpture before taking it back to the house and entering into slices.Frozen mutton can be cut into slices as thin as cicada wings.

……

Just when Chen Ying put all his energy into the spicy hot pot, all the civil and military officials of the Eastern Palace gathered in the main hall of Xiande Hall.

Li Jiancheng looked at the crowd solemnly, and said deeply: "Since the army started in Taiyuan, the princes have come to the East Palace one after another to assist in the construction. Over the years, we have worked hard, and finally we have what we see today. Thanks to the great love of the father, Jianjian presided over the political affairs hall, concurrently took charge of state affairs, served His Majesty, and governed the counties and counties of the world. You followed the completion of the construction, how much hardship you endured, how much tiredness you suffered, and even those who lost their positions and gave up their lives. You will remember each one of them in your heart .”

Xu Shimo bowed and said: "His Royal Highness, the ministers and others are duty-bound to assist Mingjun, and now the disaster of Xiaoqiang in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows that we are unequal and almost killed His Royal Highness. How can we take credit for it?"

Seeing Xu Shimo expressing his loyalty to Li Jiancheng, other ministers also stood up to express their loyalty to Li Jiancheng. Wei Zheng stood at the outermost side of the crowd, watching Li Jiancheng scolding Fang Qiu intently.

Li Jiancheng continued: "Currently, the crisis in Chang'an has been resolved, but the crisis in Datang has not been resolved, and may worsen at any time..."

Xu Shimo said excitedly: "Xu Shimo is willing to listen to His Highness's dismissal!"

Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement and said: "From now on, the Donggong Guards will mobilize all the troops and divide them into two parts. One part will seal off the Guanzhong. Before the King of Qin can escape from the Guanzhong, he must keep the King of Qin in the Guanzhong. Please remember that the King of Qin belongs to the palace." Younger brother, you can only capture them alive, not kill them; the other part monitors the movements of the soldiers in Prince Qi's residence, and if there is any abnormality, kill them immediately."

Xu Shimo bowed and said, "His Royal Highness, in the change of Linhu Palace, it is very obvious that Li Shentong is on the side of King Qin..."

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Uncle Huaian Wang must not move lightly before Qin Wang is captured alive!"

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but didn't speak yet.

"Although Uncle Wang of Huai'an can't move, but..." Li Jiancheng mused, "Shang Shuxing's left and right servants, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Zhongshu Ling of Zhongshu Province, Feng Lun, Yang Gongren, servants of Menxia Province, Chen Shuda, Yu Wen Scholars and ministers. Shangshu, Zhongshu, and the three provinces under the door are responsible for the government affairs of the world. They must be young, vigorous, loyal, diligent and prudent. It goes without saying that his Shangshu Zuo Servant will issue an edict today Removal, Wei Zheng, take this seat. Shangshu Youpu shoots, Wang Gui, you do it, Yang Gongren is also half of his own family, so you can stay still. Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Yuwenshi and... all have to be replaced Change positions. Three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and twelve guards, all must be replaced with reliable people..."

Li Jiancheng never thought of replacing his own people on top of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons. In fact, none of the six prime ministers was Li Jiancheng's own people.The incident this time sounded the alarm for Li Jiancheng, and the six prime ministers were simply unreliable.

If it weren't for Chen Ying to turn the tide, I am afraid that the six prime ministers would definitely fall to Li Shimin.This made Li Jiancheng very worried.

……

Dai Zhou walked into the lobby in full uniform, and carefully examined all kinds of objects and evidence used in the case on the case table.

Wei Ting and Xu Shimo strode into the lobby.

Dai Zhou immediately lowered his face, and shouted in a cold voice: "I am about to try the case, if you two have other business affairs, please stay away."

Wei Ting raised the Prince's order in Yang's hand, threw the order on the table in front of Dai Zhou and said: "A certain family was ordered by the Prince to interrogate the case of Fang Xuanling's treason with Dai Shaoqing."

Xu Shimo looked at Wei Ting silently, without saying a word.

Dai Zhou waved to the yamen servants on both sides with a blank expression: "Come here, let these two officials take a seat."

Not long after, Fang Xuanling walked into the lobby in prison clothes.

Wei Ting clapped the table, startled Xu Shinuo and Dai Zhou beside him, Wei Ting had the urge to laugh, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said with a smile: "Criminal Fang Xuanling, see you!" My officer, why don't you kneel?"

Fang Xuanling glanced at Wei Ting, then turned his gaze to Dai Zhou and said, "When did Dali Temple become the prince's private prison?"

The corners of Dai Zhou's mouth twitched twice, he gritted his teeth and said: "Wei Ting, today is my presiding judge, if you don't have my permission, you'd better not open your mouth.

Wei Ting glared at Dai Zhou.

Without fear, Dai Zhou returned Wei Ting with sharp eyes.

Xu Shimo coughed and said, "Let's ask Mr. Dai to start the trial."

Dai Zhou looked down at the documents on the case table, then looked up at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Xuanling, are you guilty?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Fang is not guilty."

Dai Zhou shouted in a cold voice: "You coerced Li Shimin, bought Taishi Ling Fu Yi, lied about the sky, framed the current Crown Prince, secretly mobilized armored soldiers, and tried to kill the king...

Fang Xuanling interrupted Dai Zhou, and said slowly: "You arrested the wrong person and tried the wrong case!"

Dai Zhou frowned and said, "How?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "In the past few days, in this Chang'an city, there were indeed people who privately mobilized armored soldiers, and there were indeed people who murdered the king and usurped the throne. Chang'an people...as long as they are not blind and deaf, they will You should know who is mobilizing armored soldiers privately, who is killing the king and usurping the throne. The person who did this treasonous thing is not Fang Xuanling, he is Li Jiancheng!"

Wei Ting clapped the table and roared: "Fang Xuanling, you are so brave!"

Dai Zhou gave Wei Ting a hard look.

Xu Shimo kicked Wei Ting under the table.

Wei Ting opened his mouth and swallowed the words on his lips.

Fang Xuanling said coldly: "Is this the Huanghuang Judiciary of the Tang Dynasty, or the lynching place of the East Palace?

Dai Zhou nodded and said, "Dali Temple is the court's jurisprudence."

Fang Xuanling said calmly and calmly: "Since I am the judicial officer of the imperial court, then I will sue the Prince of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng, for six major crimes!"

Dai Zhou's complexion changed, and he said solemnly: "Say it——!"

Fang Xuanling said generously: "Killing younger brother - immorality - Ling father - bullying the king - forcing the palace - disrupting the country -!"

The clerk responsible for recording the trial was so frightened that his hands trembled.

Wei Ting's facial muscles twitched, and he roared through gritted teeth: "This man is insane, turning black and white, why do you need to ask again? Just pull him out and chop him up."

Dai Zhou suppressed his anger and said: "Wei joined the army, whether he will be tried or not, how to try, is a matter of Dali Temple. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the East Palace and ask the prince to dismiss me as the head of the judiciary first.

Wei Ting suddenly overturned the case.

Xu Shimo was startled, and then rolled his eyes helplessly.

Wei Tingji pointed at Dai Zhou and shouted: "You protect Fang Xuanling, you are abolishing the Qin King's accomplices!"

Dai Zhou didn't look at Wei Ting, and directed the officials on both sides of the yamen: "General Wei is ill today, send him back to the residence."
