Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 887

Chapter 9 In the middle of the pass, hunger is everywhere, this prosperous world is as you wish

In the end, Li Jiancheng did not decide to wait for Chen Ying's plan to be implemented. He asked Fang Xuanling to send invitations to the patriarchs or leaders of the aristocratic clans in Guanzhong one by one in the name of Shang Shusheng.

Fang Xuanling copied dozens of invitations and distributed them to Yuan Sui's imperial guards.

Li Jiancheng looked at the servants of the forbidden army and said in a deep voice: "This is an invitation issued in the name of Shangshu Province. Everyone must send the invitation to each house and meet the guests on the invitation. Whether the patriarchs of these Guanzhong families come or not Come on, everyone must discuss an accurate word face to face..."

Zhong Yuan bowed with the guards of the Imperial Army and said: "Observe the order!"

Saying that, Zhong Yuan turned and left with the servants of the forbidden army.

The guards of Yuan Sui's imperial army are all the guards in the film and television dramas.The curfew is beyond their control.

Soon Yuan arrived at Wenxi Pei's main residence with the guards of the Imperial Army, and waited for a full hour before being summoned by the Pei family's head.

Yuan followed the attendant and handed the invitation to Patriarch Pei respectfully.

The Patriarch of the Pei family has a very high seniority, and even Pei Ji is called his uncle Pei Yang.

Although Pei Yang is nearly eighty years old, his body is very strong. He opened the invitation and glanced at it expressionlessly, then stared at Yuan Sui's guards and said, "Go back and tell Feng Pushe that the old man is not feeling well these days. The banquet... ...will not participate."

Yuan Sui's imperial guard clearly saw Pei Yang, his complexion was ruddy, his eyes were shining brightly, he didn't look like he was ill at all.

However, this was clearly Pei Yang's excuse, and he couldn't expose it, so he had to turn around and leave Pei's ancestral house to return to his command.

The mansion of the Xue family in the east of Chang'an City.

At this time, the family of the Xue family in Hedong was Xue Daoshi, the minister of internal history in the Sui Dynasty (equivalent to the minister of Zhongshu in the Tang Dynasty), Xue Daoshi, the younger brother of Xue Daoheng, the third division of Kaifu Yitong, and the doctor of Sili.

Xue Daoshi is also nearly [-] years old, and it seems that he is at the end of his life.

Xue Daoshi looked at Yuan Sui's guards and said: "The old man is old and has trouble moving. Please seal the servant and show your understanding. I will not participate in this party."

Yuan followed the guards of the imperial army and left Xue's mansion helplessly.

In fact, not only the Pei and Xue families in Guanzhong, but also the Jingzhao-Wei family, the Hedong Liu family, the Dou family, including the Yuan family and the Dugu family all hit a wall.

Li Jiancheng sat withered all night, the corners of his mouth covered with blisters, looking at the dozens of guards from the Yuan Sui Imperial Army who came to return to their orders.

Li Jiancheng was furious and said, "The whole family didn't come?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and was speechless, Zhong Yuan followed the guards of the Imperial Army and bowed their heads in silence.

Wei Zheng watched Li Jiancheng narrow his eyes angrily, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Wei Zheng waved his hand, and all the Yuan followed the guards of the Imperial Army and slowly exited the Lizheng Hall.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "When Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were attacked, Luoyang was defeated and suffered heavy losses. We also had no food and soldiers. It was I who came forward to ask the big families to help. They not only provided 50 young and strong, but also more than [-] horses. War horses, [-] shi of grain, and now, aren't they afraid of angering me?"

Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty was like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Besides, your Majesty promised the benefits of Luoyang's fields, and the Guanlong nobles generously donated their money. But now, what they want, His Majesty cannot give They, even if His Majesty has ascended the throne, would not have the guts to ask them to rebel, but if His Majesty is in trouble, they will definitely stand on the sidelines."

Li Jiancheng roared angrily: "They are not afraid, and I ransacked their homes?"

Wei Zheng stared helplessly at Li Jiancheng and said, "What's your reason? Collaboration with the enemy or corruption?"

Li Jiancheng was startled, pinched his temples with a headache and said, "Xuanling, Xuancheng, where can I get life-saving food now?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng blankly.

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "Chen..."

At this moment, the drum of the third watch outside sounded.

An attendant of the Imperial Guard suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, General Chen has sent an urgent letter!"

Li Jiancheng hastily accepted the urgent letter.

Wei Zheng frowned slightly at the side and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about everything, governing the world requires collective wisdom and efforts!"

Li Jiancheng's hand holding the urgent letter trembled unconsciously.

Wei Zheng quickly glanced at the urgent letter, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, God bless Datang!"

Li Jiancheng, who was in poor spirits, wore the crown and climbed to Danchi.

All the officials and ministers were cautious.

Li Jiancheng cleared his throat and said, "Your family, the natural disaster in Guanzhong, but it lingers on. Now in Guanzhong, more than a dozen states and counties are starving and dying. I can't sleep or eat because of this. You are all highly intelligent people. Can you Come up with a feasible strategy?"

Li Jiancheng's eyes were fixed on the prime ministers standing in the forefront.

Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and these veteran officials looked at each other, but no one came out to speak.

Li Jiancheng cast his eyes on Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others in the back row.

Wei Zheng came out, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, for the present plan, I'm afraid we can only reduce the imperial army and frontier army, and transfer the food stored by the army to relieve disasters."

Wang Gui came out and said bravely, "Your Majesty, you can send people to counties and counties that have not been affected by the disaster to buy food, even if it is twice as expensive as in previous years, you will not hesitate."

Fang Xuanling also said: "The minister is willing to set an example and donate half of the food stored in the family to the imperial court."

Li Jiancheng looked at the ministers.

Yang Gongren said in anticipation of Ai Ai: "I am also willing to donate half of the food in the family to the imperial court!"

……

All the ministers expressed their willingness to donate half of the stored grain. However, most of these stored grains were hundreds of shi, and the few were dozens of shi. All the civil and military officials together could barely scrape together more than [-] shi of grain.

Compared with the food crisis in Guanzhong, these grains are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Looking at the ministers, Li Jiancheng suddenly raised his voice an octave, and asked coldly, "What about the people? What about the people in Guanzhong?"

Xiao Yu came out and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court should send people to appease the people in Guanzhong. They must not be allowed to go out of Tongguan to beg in Hedong, Henan. Otherwise, the counties and counties in the world will be terrified if they don't know the inside story of Guanzhong."

Feng Deyi also came out and said: "If millions of hungry people go out to beg, what's the face of the court? What's the face of Your Majesty?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng sighed: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Xiangguo said is very true, now, the hungry people must not be allowed to leave the customs, otherwise, it will shake the place at least, and lead to rebellion at worst.

All the ministers also echoed and agreed.

Li Jiancheng frowned.

……

In Prince Qi's Mansion, several wine jars were poured on the table.Li Yuanji smiled unscrupulously while drinking: "Boss, now I'm so worried that my hair is falling out, haha..."

Xie Shufang tried to snatch the wine jar from Li Yuanji's hand, while persuading him, "Your Highness, you drank too much!"

While breaking free from Xie Shufang's hand, Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I'd like to see how long the boss can be complacent. In the end, I still want this king to come out and clean up the mess!"

Xie Shufang looked at Li Yuanji's drunken madness, and laughed wildly: "If you don't pick up the green and yellow, if you can't get food, the army will soon run out of food. Without food, the army's morale will be unstable, and the army's morale will be unstable. They will stew us soldiers in a big pot!"

Xie Shufang and Yu Wenhua took a deep breath.

After all, what Li Yuanji said was true. The soldiers and horses were not moved, and the food and grass went first. If there was no food, the army with the best equipment would lose morale. Without morale, how would we fight this battle?
What's more, the Eastern Turks are eyeing it like a tiger, and it's not easy to deal with it...

At this moment, Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenhua and said, "Sir, the official warehouse should be bottoming out soon, right?"

"Within ten days!" Yu Wenhuaji said, "The cheap food in the Guancang has already risen to [-] cents per bucket of rice!"

Li Yuanji said: "It's not that there are tens of thousands of dollars of rice in Guanzhong. At that time, the grain will be ours. We will sell it for [-] dollars a fight. If we don't eat it, we will starve to death!"

Yu Wenhuaji nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do!"

……

Under the same sky, in the east hall of the front yard of the Chen Family Fort.

Luo Shixin was dressed in mourning, and toasted Zhang Xutuo's spiritual tablet respectfully.

Wei Zheng murmured: "Scholars are buried in March, and they cry in the moon; officials are buried in March, and they cry in May; princes are buried in May, and they cry in July. After the death of Chief Executive Zhang, he was buried in a barren tomb. Among them, talking about the funeral, there is not even a stele for offering sacrifices. This is the case with Chief Zhang, the same is true for Mi Gong, and the same is true for King Xia..."

With a long sigh, Wei Zheng drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Luo Shixin drank, his eyes became redder and redder.

Looking at Luo Shixin, Wei Zheng thought of Zhang Xutuo, his father and boss, who was on the verge of breaking out.

Luo Shixin looked at Wei Zheng in a bad mood and shouted: "Get out, don't cry like cats and rats and pretend to be merciful here."

Wei Zheng smiled wryly and said, "The deceased is dead, so the letter must be blamed on Mi Gong? General Zhang's matter, this matter can't be blamed on Mi Gong, let alone Wei Zheng, Zhang Dazong committed suicide!"

Luo Shixin's eyes were red, he grabbed Wei Zheng's hand and shouted: "You guys forced that too!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly explained: "I have no personal grievances with Manager Zhang, it's just that the way is opposite, so I don't agree with him."

Luo Shixin suddenly raised his fist and was about to punch Wei Zheng in the face.

At this moment, Luo Shixin found that his fist seemed to be clamped by a pair of iron pliers, and he could not move.

Luo Shixin turned his head and found that at some point, Qin Qiong appeared behind him and clamped his hand forcefully.

Luo Shixin shouted: "Let go!"

Qin Qiong said embarrassingly: "In front of Director Zhang, don't be presumptuous!"

Luo Shixin angrily let go.

Chen Ying then smiled and said: "It's rare for old friends to gather together, and I won't return tonight if I don't get drunk."

Luo Shixin was drinking with Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng, and Chen Ying, but everyone had something on their minds.Before I knew it, the four jars of wine had bottomed out.

Qin Qiong suddenly picked up a wine jar and poured it vigorously.

Chen emergency said: "Qin Shubao, you can't drink any more!"

Qin Qiong ignored Chen Ying's persuasion and continued to drink. The more he drank, the whiter his face became, as white as paper.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and kicked Qin Qiong's wine jar to the ground.

"Qin Shubao, you are enough!"

Qin Qiong staggered to his feet and grabbed Wei Zheng.

There was no way, although Wei Zheng had a sharp tongue, his skills were not enough for Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong.

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "Stop, I have something to say!"

Qin Qiong grabbed Wei Zheng's collar and asked, "Why? Why did you do this?"

Wei Zheng roared: "Qin Shubao, I knew you...you are not convinced, do you think you can win by abolishing the King of Qin when you are in Chang'an? Let me tell you, Your Majesty is thinking all of the time... only wishing that the world will be peaceful. , Chang'an in the world."

Qin Qiong roared: "Is King Qin worse than today?"

Wei Zheng stood up excitedly, waved his sleeves unsteadily and roared, "Li Shimin was thinking about... how to achieve... an imperial career that surpassed the ages,... the direction of the Tao is the opposite. Li Shimin, he... can't do it." ...Leave aside the selfish thoughts in my heart...He is exactly the same as Yang Guang...everything he does is for himself, so...we can never be fellow travelers...As the saying goes, different ways do not seek each other !"

Qin Qiong said with a sneer: "Now Guanzhong is full of famine, starving all over the country, this prosperous world is as you wish?"

Luo Shixin stood up suddenly and said: "Qin Shubao, what is your ability to bully Master, if you have the ability, I will fight you!"

Qin Qiong left Wei Zheng behind, and rushed to Luo Shidao: "Hit, hit, who is afraid of whom!"

Luo Shixin stepped forward and raised his fist, Qin Qiong turned around, took Luo Shixin's arm with his shoulder, and threw Luo Shixin to the ground.

The fall was so heavy that Luo Shixin didn't get up for a long time.

Luo Shixin struggled, shouting while crawling: "Come again!"

Before Luo Shi could believe it, Ashina Simo rushed over and kicked Qin Qiong in the waist.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Qiong would have reacted extremely quickly, and Ashina Simo would have been unable to sneak attack him at all.The key is that Qin Qiong drank too much, and his reaction was a bit slow.

As a result, Ashina Simo kicked him in the waist and fell to the ground.

Luo Shixin pushed Ashina Simo away and roared, "Don't worry about my affairs!"

Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong fought together, the two sides hardly used any moves, it was completely a gangster fight, you punched, I kicked, the fight was vigorous.

Chen Ying smiled wryly: "It's all right now, it's lively!"

Wei Zheng said: "It's okay, they're used to it, they're all angry, just let it out!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Wei Zheng said: "General Chen, let's rest first, our battle will be even more exciting tomorrow!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Starting tomorrow, the price of grain in Guanzhong will plunge. The first batch of grain from Henan Province, totaling 20 shi, will enter Guanzhong from Tongguan along Chidao.

At that time, those grain dealers who sit in the manor will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Chen Ying once calculated that the grain in the hands of grain merchants in Guanzhong has exceeded 250 million shi, and may even approach the 300 million shi mark.The average price of these grains they get is 150 yuan per bucket.It also means that they have paid nearly [-] million Guan in order to short Guan Zhongliang.

We must know that Li Tang's court traded with the Shandong Family Group and obtained 170 million property, which was half of the country.

They will not be vigilant when the first batch of 20 shi of grain enters the customs, and they will even think that it is the grain reserve that Hongnong Yang's family helped Li Jiancheng to rescue. They will not allow Li Jiancheng to suppress the price of grain, even if Chen Ying offers a price of [-] yuan per bucket They will also eat their best.

Chen Ying left the front yard and went to the bedroom in the back yard.However, the area of ​​Chenjiabao was too large, Chen Ying was blown by the wind, and his alcoholism surged.

Entering the backyard, Chen Ying's consciousness became confused, and he didn't notice the eldest grandson Wugou standing next to him at all.

Changsun Wugou was shocked when he saw Chen Ying, he quickly lowered his head and eyes, and bowed in salute.

However, Chen Ying pressed his head and walked inside. While taking off his coat, he cheered up and shouted: "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky, and it will never return to the sea. If you don't see it, Gaotang Mingjing's sad white hair , the morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow. Life must be full of happiness, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone..."

The eldest grandson Wugou hesitated for a moment, and hurried to catch up, trying to help Chen Ying take off his coat.

Chen Ying entered the bedroom and threw off his coat directly.

The coat didn't land on the ground, it fell directly into the hands of Changsun Wugou.

Chen Ying didn't turn his head back. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he said guiltily: "San Niang, I drank too much today, you go to bed first..."

Then at this moment, Li Xiuning came out of the bedroom, and the moment his eyes collided with Chen Ying, Chen Ying's voice suddenly stopped.

At this time, Changsun Wugou was taking off Chen Ying's coat.

Chen Ying sensed that something was wrong, turned her head suddenly, looked at her eldest grandson Wugou, subconsciously raised her hand, and knocked her away.

Changsun Wugou screamed and fell to the ground, Chen Ying's coat was put on her head.

Chen Yingning frowned angrily: "Who?"

Chen Ying saw the face of the eldest grandson Wugou clearly, and for a moment, his face turned pale with shock. He hurriedly looked at Li Xiuning

Li Xiuning came up to him and said, "Chen Lang..."

Before Li Xiuning realized what was going on, Chen Ying had already rushed in front of her.He hugged Li Xiuning tightly and guarded behind him nervously and carefully, then turned to Changsun Wugou again, with sharp and fierce eyes.

Chen Ying's voice was cold, and he said murderously, "How did you get in?"

The eldest grandson Wugou sat on the ground in horror, looking at Chen Ying and the bewildered Li Xiuning in bewilderment.

Chen Ying's face changed slightly, and he shouted sharply: "Quickly tell me, what do you want to do by sneaking into the backyard?"

Li Xiuning came back to her senses, looked at Chen Ying clutching her big hand, and said dumbfoundedly for a while: "Chen Lang, she is...!"

Before Li Xiuning finished speaking, Chen Ying was already very angry. He strode up to Changsun Wugou, picked her up, grabbed her by the neck, and said sternly, "I told you, I hate the most Others forced me, you are courting death..."

The eldest grandson Wugou couldn't even scream, his face turned from white to blue in an instant, and he struggled dejectedly.
