Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 872 The real reason for not supporting Li Shimin

Chapter [-] The real reason for not supporting Li Shimin
The spicy hot pot whetted Li Xiuning's appetite.Unfortunately, no matter what Chen Ying tried to persuade, Li Daozhen, He Yue'er, Xu Erniang, and Fukada Hanain were unwilling to accept Chen Ying's kindness and refused to eat spicy shabu-shabu.

Chen Ying could only shake his head and sigh bitterly, despising Li Daozhen's delicacy and not knowing how to appreciate it.

What surprised Li Daozhen the most was that her sons Li Siye and Chen Qian tried to eat a little chili pepper, sweating profusely, and still shouted loudly: "More...More!"

However, because there were too many vegetables and meat in the spicy soup pot, Chen Ying and Li Xiuning couldn't eat any more.

Just then, footsteps sounded.

Chen Yingxun looked at him, and saw Zhang Zhongjian, who was so sleepy that his eyes were full of feces and didn't have time to clearly understand, striding forward.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't come, but his voice came first.

"Brother Chen, don't wait for me if you cook something delicious!"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "God knows how long brother Zhang will sleep, disturbing people's dreams is the most abominable thing, Chen doesn't want to be this villain!"

Zhang Zhongjian entered the hall, and suddenly saw the women's family and children in the hall, he was very surprised, especially Kanon Fukada was also qualified to sit down.

Aristocratic families pay attention to etiquette and dignity. How can a concubine like Fukada Kanon sit at the same table with her master?

However, Chen Ying doted on Shen Tian Hanyin, Zhang Zhongjian had nothing to say, the habit of giving maidservants to each other was very common in this era, he took a fancy to the red sleeves and green beads in Chen Ying's mansion, but he hasn't asked for them yet!
Zhang Zhongjian greeted Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning returned the salute.

However, seeing Zhang Zhongjian as an outsider, Li Xiuning got up and said, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down for a while, I'm sorry!"

After Li Xiuning left.

Chen Ying invited Zhang Zhongjian and said: "Brother Zhang, if you don't stir up the fire, sit down and eat something. If...Chen has someone to prepare the food immediately!"

Zhang Zhongjian sat down, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, and cooked it familiarly. Zhang Zhongjian was bold, and immediately sat down and picked up the chopsticks to eat, but when the mutton was in his mouth, he couldn't help being choked by the spicy taste The blush has a thick neck.

In fact, Zhang Zhongjian had just smelled something wrong with the hot pot, it was so spicy.Although Zhang Zhongjian was a little caught off guard by the spicy food, he used to like to eat spicy flavors such as cornel sauce, so he has a relatively strong adaptability to chili peppers. After chewing a few times, he suddenly swallowed the mutton, and then let out a loud cry Said: "Happy, how can such a delicious food be without wine!"

As he said that, he picked up a few more chopsticks for himself and started to eat the mutton.

Chen Ying clapped his hands and asked someone to bring the wine.Fine wine, of course, can't be said to be, it can be said that it is definitely brewed from pure grain, and it has been stored in the basement of the Chen Mansion for more than two years, with a strong taste.

Zhang Zhongjian talked boldly to himself, and watched Chen apply the wine jug into the wine jug first, and then slowly poured wine for him with the wine jug, Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile: "Are you afraid that Zhang will become drunk and go crazy? Don't worry, Zhang is a good person, and the wine tastes even better!"

Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but snatch the wine jar from Chen Ying's hand, and then took a big bowl of rice, this bowl weighed almost a catty.

After pouring a bowl full of white wine, Zhang Zhongjian raised his head and drank it into his stomach, but just as the wine entered his throat, it was hard to swallow like a red-hot iron.Zhang Zhongjian blushed, if he spit it out at this time, he would be ashamed.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Zhongjian still swallowed it into his stomach.

Chen Ying picked up the small wine glass and took a small sip.

"puff……"

Chen Ying immediately vomited it out, why the hell is it so hot.

Chen Ying picked up the wine jar again, and looked at the words on it, it was actually 42.He was a little puzzled, 42% liquor definitely didn't taste like this, even if Chen Ying spit it on the ground, it evaporated to dryness in a short while.

Chen Ying's face turned pale with fright, he took off the sticky note on it, and saw that the scale on the jar was actually 72 degrees, which belonged to Chen Ying's current highest degree after four steamings, although not as good as alcohol, but this degree is definitely not for ordinary people acceptable.

Chen Ying looked at the maidservant who came to deliver the wine and said, "What's going on?"

The maid squeaked for a long time and didn't say a reason.

Chen Ying knew it without asking. Except for Ma Sanbao, no one else in the cellar had a key at all. Ma Sanbao probably stole it himself.

However, Zhang Zhongjian was able to accept chili peppers, Chen Ying was also very surprised, and immediately put the dipping sauce with chili peppers in front of him. As a result, Shimin shouted again after eating, sweating profusely but still couldn't stop .

However, Zhang Zhongjian also fell in love with the 72-degree high-alcohol wine, drank several sips, and said with a big smile: "This is the delicacy that men should enjoy!"

Chen Ying looked at Baijiu, feeling a little apprehensive.

Zhang Zhongjian sighed regretfully and said, "It's a pity for Li Erlang!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "No way, no way, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin shouldn't have been born in this emperor's family!"

Zhang Zhongjian looked at Chen Ying in astonishment and said: "Yes, brotherhood, after all, is not worth the welfare of the community. The world has been in chaos for a long time. The people's heart is for peace, and the common people pray for life."

Chen Yingdao: "The Great Tang urgently needs a wise monarch to help the society and tidy up the universe..."

Zhang Zhongjian sat up straight and frowned slightly.

Chen Yingdao: "King Qin has a dark heart and a thick face, and his hands are even more ruthless. For the Li family, it is a blessing, but for the common people in the world, it is a disaster. If the crown prince can't manage the government alone, he will be restrained and coerced by His Royal Highness everywhere. In this way, Although the world is unified, it is difficult to rule it.”

Chen Ying shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Zhongjian was stunned for a while, looked Chen Ying up and down and said, "How do you know that the crown prince is a generation of Mingjun?"

Chen Ying laughed again and said: "Brother Zhang, why don't you directly ask Your Majesty why His Majesty has always refused to make King Qin the crown prince?"

Zhang Zhongjian pondered and said: "The order of seniority, and what happened in the previous Sui Dynasty?

Chen Ying closed his eyes helplessly, shaking his head and sighing.

Zhang Zhongjian frowned.

Chen Ying said in a brisk tone: "Although what brother Zhang said is good, it is incomplete. A historical record, 200 years before the Han Dynasty, what truth does it want to tell the world? The emperor's posthumous title in ancient times, the founder's posthumous posthumous title 'Wu' , the posthumous posthumous title 'Wen' of the Conservative Monarch, what is the reason for this?"

Zhang Zhongjian exhaled lightly, pacing back and forth with an attitude of listening attentively.

Chen Ying's eyes followed Zhang Zhongjian unconsciously, and he said calmly: "Gaifan, who started a new dynasty in troubled times, established his country with martial arts. The so-called winning the world immediately is just what it means. However, winning the world immediately is not possible. Rule it out immediately. Swords and arrows can bring down mountains and rivers, but they cannot keep the common people warm and the treasury full, let alone make the politics clear and the country prosperous, creating a generation of peace and prosperity..."

Zhang Zhongjian paused, staring at the ground in front of him, lost in thought.

Chen Ying continued to talk eloquently: "Warriors take over the world, while civil officials rule the world. Since ancient times, it has been the foundation of politics in all dynasties. Great martial arts, although dazzling, are also the root cause of the loss of life and the emptiness of the national treasury. Naturally, there is nothing to worry about. However, what Your Majesty needs is a candidate who can rest with the people and bring about peace in the world, so the bloodthirsty and warlike King Qin happens to be the root cause of losing the qualification to compete for the Great Treasure."

Zhang Zhongjian showed a mocking look, turned his face to stare at Chen Yingdao: "Just because of this mere rotten Confucianism, you can conclude that if King Chunqin ascends the throne, he must be a foolish king?"

Chen Yingdao: "How many political affairs has the King of Qin really dealt with in these years? Speaking in court, although he can speak clearly and logically, he is mostly talking on paper. What? I don’t even know the intricacies and details of governance, so if you take it for granted to rule the world, can the world not be chaotic?”

When Chen Ying said this, he felt a little against his will.After all, Li Shimin has done a good job in history.In terms of military affairs, Li Shimin used troops abroad many times, and successively pacified Turks, Xueyantuo, Huihe, Gaochang, Yanqi, Kucha, Tuyuhun, etc., so the reputation of the Tang Dynasty spread far and wide, and the Quartet was convinced.After 23 years of hard work by Li Shimin's monarch and ministers, the society has stabilized, the economy has recovered and developed steadily, and his foreign martial arts are outstanding.Li Shimin's meritorious deeds will last forever, and his brilliance will last through the ages. He became one of the four famous kings of Tang Zong and Song Zu after Qin Huang and Han Wu.

However, what Chen Ying is most dissatisfied with Li Shimin is that he has lost the backbone of the Tang Dynasty by marrying his relatives, and also supported the rise of Tubo.

Princess Wencheng's dowry was very rich, carrying a large amount of gold and silver treasures, as well as many books on agricultural production and literary works, and even skilled craftsmen brought from the Central Plains.

So how did the real Princess Wencheng live in history?In fact, from the Dunhuang murals, we found that the life of Princess Wencheng was not as happy and happy as recorded in the Central Plains.Since Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she has been childless for many years. Compared with the magnificent and high-ranking empress in the palace, her life is simply very different.She has been married to Tubo for 40 years, but she has been neglected for 31 years. Facing the white snow, she lives like a year, and her youth is gone.

This Songtsan Gampo was always romantic, and he didn't have the etiquette restrictions of the Central Plains. He had countless wives and concubines. To him, one more princess was just a face, so how could he really care for him.Moreover, in order to marry the Nepalese princess, Songtsan Gampo did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money on the preparation of the Jokhang Temple, and placed the dowry statue of Sakyamuni in it.Back when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, Songtsan Gampo only used Ramoche Temple to house the Buddha statue brought by Princess Wencheng.

The point is that the indescribable (sensitive vocabulary) policy dealt with by Li Shimin failed, and it also laid the root of disaster for the demise of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he affected not only the Li family, but the entire China.During the period of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Shatuo people established four regimes: Later Tang (First Dynasty of Shatuo), Later Jin (Second Dynasty of Shatuo), Later Han (Third Dynasty of Shatuo), and Northern Han (Fourth Dynasty of Shatuo). .

The son emperor Shi Jingtang cannot be a traitor, because he is not Han at all.

Chen Ying's faint smile gradually disappeared.Chen Yingdao: "Chen and the King of Qin have been through the battlefield for a long time, and they command hundreds of thousands of troops. They have long been accustomed to monopolizing power. Unfortunately, the imperial court is not a battlefield, and it does not need a single husband. It relies on brainstorming, and each performs his own duties. Qin Shi Huang Tianzong He was a talented person, but he died in the second generation. Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty spread his power all over the world, but in his later years, the government collapsed, the people were in poverty, and he had to issue an edict to sin against himself. Speaking from the heart, do the people of the world need such an emperor?"

……

Li Xiuning, who was behind the screen, heard what Chen Ying said, with a serious look on his face.

After hearing this, she couldn't listen anymore.

Li Xiuning walked out of the back hall, her footsteps became faster and faster, He Yueer said worriedly: "Your Highness Princess...you!"

Li Xiuning suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wugou kneeling in the snowdrift in the garden. At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou and Qin Wang's son Li Chengqian, mother and son, were shivering from the cold.

The eldest grandson Wugou was trembling, not daring to raise his head, not daring to speak.

Li Xiuning raised her head and turned her face, looking at He Yue'er and Ma Sanbao who were standing on her left and right, her face was full of disbelief and bewilderment.

Under Li Xiuning's gaze, Ma Sanbao, a tall and thick man, bowed his waist and shrunk his neck, trembling with fear.

Li Xiuning shook her finger, pointed at Changsun Wugou and said, "Who can... explain what's going on?"

He Yueer looked at Ma Sanbao.Ma Sanbao lowered his head, not daring to speak. .

He Yue'er was helpless, and said with a smile: "Princess, this is... Princess Abandoned of Qin..."

Li Xiuning roared with a look of anger: "You don't need to introduce me, I know you!"

He Yue'er shut up resentfully, poked Ma Sanbao secretly, and gave him a self-seeking look.

Ma Sanbao cleared his throat, and with an unscrupulous posture, he poked his neck and said, "Your Highness, back then Chai Shao hated the princess for not forgiving him and wanted to kill the lowly official. This woman once scolded Chai Shao and asked the King of Qin to come forward and save her." The humble job...she is also..."

The more Ma Sanbao spoke, his voice became softer, but in the end he still didn't dare to look at Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning nodded thoughtfully, and said, "So, she is kind to you?"

Ma Sanbao nodded quickly.

Li Xiuning smiled and said: "Not only is there kindness to you, but also to me... If you hadn't rescued me with all your might, would I have survived to this day!"

He Yueer and Ma Sanbao looked at each other and smiled.

Li Xiuning took a step forward, bent down and took Changsun Wugou's hand, helped her to stand up and said, "Siblings, get up first, we are not outsiders.

The eldest grandson Wugou said timidly: "Thank you princess...for the grace of not killing..."

The corner of Li Xiuning's mouth twitched and said: "What happens between men has nothing to do with us women.

Only then did Changsun Wugou stand up tremblingly, his face was pale, his eyes were red, he glanced at Li Xiuning's smiling face in fear, and quickly lowered his head.

Ma Sanbao said: "The lower ranks are all vulgar people, this yam is really hot, please ask the princess to make a suggestion..."

Li Xiuning sized up his eldest grandson Wugou, couldn't help but frowned, and sighed slightly: "You...you really know how to pick people..."

Li Xiuning glared at Ma Sanbao, Ma Sanbao smiled foolishly and said, "Your Highness, the left guard of the Eastern Palace and Wei Ting are still waiting outside the door to pick up the criminals!"

Li Xiuning's face changed slightly, and he roared angrily: "What is Wei Yizhi, let him go!"

……

Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng went hand in hand, and Li Jiancheng came to Dali Temple again, full of emotions.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Fang Xuanling is a well-known man in the world, and the talent of Wang Zuo. If His Royal Highness can get his help, he will be like a tiger with wings!"

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Fang Xuanling is loyal to Erlang, how could he betray him?"

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Fang Xuanling is the same as Wei Zheng. What he has learned in his life is neither Confucianism nor Taoism, but the real emperor's art. Those who practice this art will rank among the three princes, be famous in the court, or lose their reputation. Death, disaster and destruction of the nine clans are all very common things. King Qin's power is gone, he doesn't want to waste his life's achievements, so why care about personal honor and disgrace?"

As he said that, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you want to subdue Fang Xuanling, you must do this..."

Wei Zheng leaned into Li Jiancheng's ear and whispered softly.

Li Jiancheng was stunned when he heard Wei Zheng's words.

Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng arrived at the main office of Dali Temple, and Dai Zhou, the Minister of Dali Temple, saluted Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng waved his hands and said, "Xuanling who takes the house!"

After a while, Fang Xuanling, who was in shackles, came slowly to the main office of Dali Temple under the escort of the jailer.

Fang Xuanling's hair was in a messy bun, a shackle weighing tens of catties was worn around his neck, and heavy shackles were placed on his hands and feet, but he still stood upright.

Li Jiancheng was deliberately serious, and said in a stern tone: "Fang Xuanling, are you convicted?"

Fang Xuanling pushed back without showing any weakness, "What's the crime?"

Li Jiancheng wandered around the Yamen with his hands behind his back, turned around and shouted at Fang Xuanling: "You have repeatedly provoked our brotherhood, and you have attached yourself to the common people, planning to murder the current prince. Isn't this a crime?"

Fang Xuanling burst out laughing when he heard the words, and after a while, Fang Xuanling laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up, and said: "What a big joke. If it weren't for the pre-Qin king who was too benevolent and didn't listen to Fang's advice , Chen Ying is absolutely not allowed to return to Chang'an, how can His Highness survive the bloody massacre at the palace gate until now?"

PS: Two updates, nine thousand and four, Lao Cheng is exhausted, new week, ask for votes, support, rewards, all kinds of requests!Regardless of whether the plot satisfies everyone, Lao Cheng's version of Chu Tang is definitely different from the taste of the mainstream public.
