Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 886

Chapter 8 General Chen never disappoints me

"Chen Lang, Sanniang is so miserable..." Li Xiuning sobbed, the corners of her mouth were pursed, and tears fell down.

At this moment, the entire small hall was filled with a mournful atmosphere.

Li Daozhen stared at Chen Ying with a serious face, gritted his teeth and shouted: "What did you do to Changsun?"

Chen Ying wanted to cry, but raised his hands and said, "I swear to God, I really didn't do anything!"

"Don't tell me that she undressed her clothes herself!"

Chen Ying explained: "It's really her own solution!"

"Sophistry!" Li Daozhen threw Chen Ying a look of absolute disbelief, and turned his back to ignore Chen Ying.

Li Xiuning didn't speak, and covered her face with sobs.

At this time, He Yueer, Hongxiu, Lvzhu and other girls in the small hall also felt Li Xiuning's sadness.

Chen Ying panicked, hugged Li Xiuning lightly in distress, and comforted her: "Sanniang...don't cry...don't cry, it's really not what you imagined, we don't have anything, Changsun's hair was pulled by herself , she also took off the clothes herself, the purpose is to let me come forward to save Changsun Wuji..."

At this time, the tears in Li Xiuning's eyes had long since disappeared, and the eyes were shining brightly, and she said persistently: "I don't want to see her again, there are really few men who can control her fox eyes, but in case... One... how do you live as a concubine..."

Chen Ying promised: "Sanniang, don't worry, I'll arrange for her to leave Chenjiabao..."

Li Xiuning stomped her feet angrily and said, "But, where can she go after leaving the Chen Mansion? Looking at the entire Chang'an City, who would dare to stop Wei Ting's Donggong guards?"

"Don't worry, Sanniang, I will discuss this matter with His Majesty, and I will see who dares to resist the decree!" Chen Ying hugged Li Xiuning's shoulders and said, "I'm considered Chang'an City! If a person with head and face can't even protect a group of women and children... Sanniang, don't be angry, don't hurt yourself."

"Yeah!" Li Xiuning happily snuggled up to Chen Ying.

Li Daozhen lowered her head, rolled her eyes, and felt that Li Xiuning's skill is too deep, her expression can change as she wants, her tears can flow as she wants, and more importantly, she knows how to grasp Chen Ying's heart!

He remembered what Yang Rong told her a few days ago, making her want to compete with Li Xiuning.But at this moment, I really want to tell myself that I am much worse than Li Xiuning.

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning had a warm chat for a while.

Li Daozhen thought she was a little redundant, so she waved helplessly to signal Hongxiu, Lvzhu and He Yueer to leave.

As everyone left, Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said, "Chen Lang, to be honest, have you thought about how to deal with the Changsun family?"

Chen Ying murmured: "It's all up to Sanniang!"

Li Xiuning said: "It's not a long-term plan for Mrs. Changsun to stay in our mansion!"

Chen Ying nodded again and again, "What Sanniang said is absolutely true!"

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said with a soft smile: "The eldest grandson Wugou is the daughter of Sun Sheng, the former commander of the Right Xiaowei General. She lost her father at the age of eight and was brought up by her uncle Gao Shilian. She is well educated and educated!"

Hearing this, Chen Ying felt something was wrong?

Are ancient women really so virtuous and not jealous at all?But the eldest grandson Wugou is the wife of Qin Wang Li Shimin and Chen Ying's sister-in-law, which is not in accordance with the etiquette.

Li Xiuning seemed to have noticed Chen Ying's strangeness, so she pushed Chen Ying and said, "Where are you going? What I mean is that eldest grandson Wugou has such talents, so it is absolutely impossible to bury her talents. You build a big Tang Academy, as well as Baigong's family, have many children, why not set up a separate girls' school to accept girls, appoint the eldest grandson Wugou as the head of the mountain, so that we can support ourselves!"

When Chen Ying heard this, he suddenly realized.

The talents and learning of the eldest grandson Wugou are not comparable to that of ordinary men.At least she has left many poems in history, as well as the book "Women's Rules", which is known as a model of women's morality.

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Sanniang, it's all right, it's all up to you!"

……

In Chang'an City, just a quarter of an hour before the curfew, a four-wheeled carriage without any signs, with the windows closed, slowly arrived outside Pei Ji's mansion.

Two Yuan followers ran out from behind the carriage, walked to the door of Pei's mansion, and gently pulled up the copper ring of the beast's title.

"Dong dong..."

Following the sound of knocking on the door, the door of Pei Mansion opened immediately, and Si Yan of Pei Mansion leaned out and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Yuan's retinue didn't answer, and reached out to take out a cup of gold-encrusted nameplate.

Si Yan saw the words on the nameplate clearly and hurriedly opened the door.

The carriage walked slowly along the corridor of Pei's mansion, towards the inside.

The Pei Mansion covers an area of ​​about ten acres, with seven or eight courtyards. In addition to the ancestral hall in the backyard, there are also ethnology, nursing home, Anjifang, and Louze Garden in the Pei Mansion.

In the Nuan Pavilion in the front yard, there are four copper lamps with goose feet on both walls. The lamps are shaped like the solitary feet of wild geese, and the legs support the circular lamp panel. There are three lampposts in the lamp panel, and three large candles are lit at the same time, illuminating the Nuan Pavilion brightly. Like day.

Under the light of the bright candle, the brown age spots on the face of the old man in black became more and more obvious.

Pei Ji and his son, lawyer Pei, came in a hurry.

Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei quickly saluted the old man, bowed and said, "Xuan Zhen (Pei Ji's name) pays respects to the leader!"

The old man in black didn't get up, and his body was a little weak, which counted as his return.

The old man in black looked at Pei Ji and said calmly: "Xuanzhen, the Supreme Emperor, how is your body?"

Pei Ji bowed and said: "Reporting to the leader, the Taishang Emperor's body is still good, but his spirit is not as good as before."

The old man in black sighed and said, "Ever since the Supreme Emperor was forced to abdicate, the world in Chang'an...is getting worse day by day.

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said, "Why should the leader worry about these trivial matters?"

The old man in black said solemnly: "If you don't have a country, you don't have a home. The East Palace is up and down, stealing power, doing things arbitrarily, and destroying the government. How can you and I be pure without seeing it?"

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said, "So what? Now in Chang'an City, all the handles of knives are held by the emperor."

The old man in black flicked his sleeves, and said righteously: "Why does justice need to use swords? To show off the power of swords is nothing more than the courage of a man. Now there is a severe drought in the world, famine in Guanzhong, and there are complaints from the government and the people. As long as Xuanzhen you Stand up and raise your arms..."

Pei Ji suddenly stood up with a straight face and said: "President, it's getting late, please come back."

The old man in black looked at Pei Ji in astonishment and murmured: "Xuanzhen, you..."

Pei Ji snorted coldly and said: "What the leader wants to do, I don't want to know, and I don't need to know. Come, see off!"

The old man in black walked away in a huff of sleeves, before walking at the door of the Nuan Pavilion, turned to look at Pei Ji and said, "Pei San, think carefully!"

Pei Ji proudly said: "Pei Ji thinks very clearly!"

The old man in black had a murderous look in his eyes, and he said with a ferocious expression: "Hello, Pei San!"

Saying that, the old man in black turned and left.

Lawyer Pei quietly walked to Pei Ji's side, and said with a worried face: "Father, the president is right, why...

Pei Ji turned around and gave Lawyer Pei a look, and said solemnly: "The emperor is no longer Wuxia Amon, the East Palace counselors are like a cloud, and the generals are like rain. Now, they have incorporated the old Ministry of the King of Qin, and they will be the leader of them. It's easy to think. Head-to-head , there is only one end, death and family extinction."

Lawyer Pei said angrily: "Everyone in the world can't do anything to him?"

Pei Ji sneered and said: "In the blood change of Xuanwu Gate, the King of Qin eradicated the left guard of the Supreme Emperor, and all the kings of the Li clan stood on the opposite side of the Supreme Emperor. Don't you understand? The Supreme Emperor has supported the East Palace and Qin Palace all these years. Fighting each other, losing hearts, this is..."

Pei Ji thought for a while, but in the end, he still didn't say that he would die if he did many injustices.

However, it is true that Li Yuan is now to blame.

Because, Li Shimin fought with Li Jiancheng and was forced to return to Hebei and Jianghuai successively. Because of these two military disasters, hundreds of thousands of people died, millions of people were homeless, and suffered heavy losses.

If there were no two disasters that could have been avoided, how could Chang'an have come to this?
Just like the current food crisis, Chen Ying saw through the market rules of later generations that someone was making trouble in the Guanzhong grain market. Although Pei Ji didn't understand economics, he sensed that someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble from the undercurrent in Chang'an City. .

Pei Ji actually guessed wrong, he thought Li Shimin was standing behind the leader.

Don't look at the undercurrents in Chang'an now, but Pei Ji saw that the entire Emperor Li Tang was on Li Jiancheng's side. At least even if Li Yuan stepped forward, Li Tang's clan would definitely provide a million shi of grain for Li Yuan to use.

Now, Li Shimin has lost righteousness, and his only chance to replace him is to kill all those who oppose Li Shimin with a knife, so that Li Shimin can regain the throne.

However, this is impossible.At the beginning, Chen Ying alone could make hundreds of thousands of guards and soldiers in Qin Wangfu dare not move. With Chen Ying, Li Shimin had no chance, even if he united with the Turks, he still had no chance.

……

The carriage left Pei's mansion and proceeded slowly along the lane.

Yuan's retinue bowed and said: "Pei Ji is too ignorant of flattery, do you want to give him some color..."

The old man in black shook his head and said: "Now, our war has just begun, and it is not yet known who will win the battle. Pei Ji is a smart person, and he will not scatter eagles when he sees a rabbit. As long as he sees that Li Jiancheng's failure is inevitable, he will definitely make a choice!"

The unmarked carriage walked crookedly along the lane, and gradually entered the backyard of Prince Qi's Mansion.

In the backyard of Prince Qi's Mansion, the old man in black just entered.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji rushed up to greet him and said, "Mr. Yuwen, how are you doing?"

Yu Wenhuaji shook his head and said, "Pei San is not confused yet!"

Li Yuanji's face turned down in an instant: "Pei Ji, old man, do you want to court death?

Yu Wenhuaji said with a faint smile: "If we lose this battle, Pei Ji will naturally refuse; if we win, he will definitely have scruples, whether it is for the merits of the dragon or for the benefit of the family, he will Will make a wise choice!"

Li Yuanji nodded suspiciously.

Yu Wenhuaji smiled and said: "Your Highness, if you want to achieve great things, you must rescue the same two people!"

Li Yuanji asked without hesitation: "Who?"

Yu Wenhuaji said: "Changsun Wuji and Du Yan, since Li Jiancheng will pardon Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan, it is also possible to pardon Changsun Wuji and Du Yan!"

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "These two people are not famous, but they also have the ability to govern the country. What's the use of them?"

Yu Wenhuaji said: "An enemy's enemy is a friend. Although Changsun Wuji and Du Yan did not accomplish enough, they did more than fail...Your Highness should tell the two of them that regardless of their past, they will definitely make a decision!"

……

Inside the Lizheng Hall of Taiji Palace, the lights are bright.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with a tired face and said, "Is it the same in Fangzhou and Danzhou?"

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "All of the more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Guanlong are like this. The guard of Tongguan has already closed the city, and all the disaster victims in Guanzhong are blocked in the pass. If we don't find a way quickly, this month, Guanzhong will be killed." Starting to change sons to eat, one hundred thousand people will starve to death under His Majesty's eyes."

Li Jiancheng covered his face with his hands in pain and said, "There is no food in Chang'an's treasury and warehouses."

Li Jiancheng raised his head resentfully and said: "For three years, three years of good harvests, and now even Guanzhong has to run out of grain, and more than 400 million shi grains have disappeared from the account. The officials of the court have hardly done any serious business. Damn."

Wei Zheng looked on coldly and said, "If you want to say damn it, the first one to die is the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in astonishment.

Wei Zheng said with a cold face: "For three years, the Supreme Emperor has encouraged His Majesty to compete with the abolished King of Qin for the reserve position, causing panic among the government and the wild. All officials, civil and military, are busy with party disputes, leading to neglect and slack in political affairs. How could it be that there is no food for disaster relief?"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Fang Xuanling looked anxiously at Jian Jian with a sad face.

Li Jiancheng sat behind the table, flipping through the memorials one by one.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "If we want to solve the hunger of the people in Guanzhong, how much food do we need at least?"

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "That depends on your majesty, how far you want to solve it."

Li Jiancheng said in pain: "Go through this month first, 20 days of food."

Fang Xuanling blurted out, "Chang'an alone needs at least 30 shi."

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Now, go borrow it, let go of my old face, go borrow it!"

Fang Xuanling was stunned and said, "Borrow?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "The Guanzhong family still has grain in their hands. A few years ago, after the great victory in Luoyang, I... I borrowed it once and repaid it once. Let me borrow this grain again now!"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't waste your energy!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with red eyes.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Today is different from the past. The food shortage in Guanzhong this time is three parts natural disaster and seven parts man-made disaster!"

What Wei Zheng said was indeed very normal.Although there has been no rain in Chang'an for three months, people don't even talk about drought resistance, and even drinking water is a problem.

However, the greatest impact of this catastrophe will still be felt after autumn. There will be no harvest this year, and Guanzhong will definitely be crying next year.

But it's only been three months now, and the food crisis is beyond control.

Wei Zheng continued to murmur: "All the grain merchants in Guanzhong are actually the aristocratic families in Guanzhong!"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Wei Zheng continued: "In order to obtain the land in Guanzhong, these aristocratic families in Guanzhong will definitely force the people to sell all their land, and they can buy an acre of good land for the price of a bucket of grain or a liter of grain!"

Li Jiancheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said, "What should I do now? Could it be that I'm going to watch the people in Guanzhong change their sons and eat each other?"

Wei Zheng shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, there is only one way now, wait for General Chen's plan to succeed!"

Li Jiancheng said impatiently, "When will this be?"

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Chen has never disappointed His Majesty, has he?"

Fang Xuanling also said: "General Chen is a unparalleled national soldier! He is known for his loyalty and righteousness. He guards Lingzhou and the Western Regions, and his military strategy is outstanding; he has the ambition of the world and the strategy of helping the people in his heart. The abolition of the King of Qin cannot be used." Therefore, it is defeated; if your Majesty can use it, the world will be ruled, and the world will be safe, and it can be expected!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise.

He did not expect Fang Xuanling to have such a high opinion of Chen Ying.

Li Jiancheng regained some confidence, and murmured: "Yes, yes, Chen Ying has never let me down, and this time he will definitely succeed!"
