Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 903 Do You Think You Didn’t Die Quickly Enough?
Chapter 25 Do you think you didn't die fast enough?

Speaking of this, Pei Ji was even less in the mood to continue.Li Xiaochang is an idiot, if he gets too close to him, he might implicate the whole family.

Regardless of the fact that Li Xiaochang is now the head of the Lizhou Governor's Office, the entire Lizhou has only seven counties under its jurisdiction, and a Shangzhechong Prefecture has six regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total of 500 soldiers.With these troops in Li Xiaochang's hands alone, not to mention that he would not be able to enter Guanzhong at all, even if he could sneak into Guanzhong, he would not even be able to pass Li Anyan's pass.

Li Xiaochang saw the impatience in Pei Ji's eyes, so he didn't say much. After all, Pei Ji was nominally the great Sikong of the dynasty, but this is not the period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, Sikong still had real power. Now Pei Ji is a temple clay Buddha.

After Li Xiaochang left, Pei Ji's son, Lawyer Pei, came out from behind the screen.

Looking at the back of Li Xiaochang going away, Attorney Pei looked at Pei Ji with some puzzlement and said, "Father...you!"

"People, can't you be ignorant of current affairs?" Pei Ji sighed and said, "Since the Xuanwu Gate, there has been increasing discord between His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, between father and son. Is it?"

Lawyer Pei murmured: "Nowadays, the clan kings are full of resentment...if..."

Pei Ji sighed and said, "The clan kings, relying on Li's supernatural powers alone, can't accomplish anything!"

In fact, Pei Ji wants Li Yuan to be reset more than anyone else. After all, once Li Yuan is reset, he can return to the phase, ranking under Li Yuan, the first among all officials, and above the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, this is just a dream.

Because, Li Jiancheng has secured the throne.

The crisis of famine in Guanzhong was the biggest test for Li Jiancheng after he ascended the throne. However, with the help of Chen Ying, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others, Li Jiancheng stabilized the situation in Guanzhong. The construction of this road.

At least [-] families will benefit from the [-] Guanzhong civilian husbands recruited. After all, the labor income of these [-] civilian husbands can support their entire family.

At this time, if the clan wanted to make waves, it was to make enemies of the people in Guanzhong.

The children of Guanzhong are the foundation of the Li and Tang courts.Now Li Jiancheng and his new court have withstood the test, so the people in Guanzhong support Li Jiancheng as the new emperor.

The Li clan wanted to conspire, but without Li Jiancheng's help, the people in Guanzhong would tear them to pieces.Although the people don't care who is the emperor above, they will never watch an emperor who can bring them benefits step down.

……

Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, and Chen Ying sat around in the warm pavilion for dinner.Both Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning fell in love with the taste of chili, and Li Jiancheng was also very hungry. He boiled mutton in a spicy hot pot and sweated profusely.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng looked up at Li Xiuning and said, "Sanniang, can you still get in touch with those Guanzhong rangers?"

Li Xiuning wiped her mouth and said lightly, "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiuning asked in confusion: "Da Lang, if you can get in touch, you can, but what do you want them to do?"

Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "Li Jing wrote the "Strategy to Ping the Turks", which mentioned that three hundred rangers should be used to leave the customs!"

Chen Yingdao: "Your Majesty, you want them to act as secret agents to spy on the Turkic army?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "That's exactly what I mean. After the Turkic envoys return to the north, we know very little about the movements of the Turks... As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy...so..."

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you think too highly of those rangers. If they go north, they will definitely gain nothing except to die!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying suspiciously and said, "No way?"

"Death is certain!" Chen Ying pointed to the outside and said, "Chang'an City is one of the most open cities in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many Turkic people in the city, but the Turkic people will never have access to the core information of our Tang Dynasty. Chang’an rangers, even if they go north, because their appearance is obviously different from that of the Turkic people, so once they leave the customs, they will definitely be included in the key surveillance, and even killed indiscriminately..."

Turkic people and Tang people are completely different in terms of appearance, language, and living habits. If you want to find out that You Xia is a Tang person, you can tell it at a glance.

As long as a spy is discovered, it means death.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Then how can we find out about the movements of the Turkic people?"

"At present, the people who know the Turkic people's movements best must be the Turkic people themselves!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Since the Turkic envoys are sent to the customs, why doesn't your majesty also send envoys to the Turkic people? On the surface, we are friendly with the Turkic people, but in the dark, we are in contact with the Turkic people." Little Khan Li, I guess, Little Khan Tuli Kehan ​​is very happy to communicate with Datang!"

Li Jiancheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. The Northern Expedition to the Turks was an established national policy, and it was also the first major event Li Jiancheng did after he became the throne.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said, "So, do you have anyone who can recommend candidates for the Turkic envoy?"

Chen Ying said without even thinking about it: "Your Majesty can appoint Tang Jian as an envoy to the Turks, and ask the Turks why they have repeatedly violated the frontier. If they are enemies of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty must be called the most competent Turks. enemy!"

Empress Zheng Guanyin walked in slowly with two maids, carrying the freshly cut mutton rolls.

If it is winter, it is very easy to cut mutton rolls. The mutton that is frozen like ice can be cut into thin slices like cicada wings with a knife. You only need to put it in the soup pot with a snap of your fingers, and then you can take it out and eat it again. .

However, the weather is hot now, and there is no more ice in the ice cellar.A dozen or so chefs with superb knife skills in the imperial dining room were so busy that they could satisfy Chen Ying and Li Xiuning for dinner.

Li Xiuning watched Zheng Guanyin busy, so she pulled Zheng Guanyin and said, "Sister-in-law, there are no outsiders today, so don't be so polite!"

Zheng Guanyin smiled and said: "There are still a few dishes, I will arrange them, come as soon as you go!"

Just when Zheng Guanyin had just left the Nuan Pavilion, suddenly a young maid came to report: "Queen, Zheng Rentai, General of the Right Tunwei... send me a message to see you.

Zheng Guanyin sighed and said, "Let him in."

Not long after, Zheng Rentai, dressed in casual clothes, greeted Zheng Guanyin with a flattering smile.

Zheng Guanyin said with a cold face, without concealing his disgust: "You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so come on today, what's the matter?"

Zheng Rentai laughed awkwardly on his face and said: "Queen, what are you talking about. We are all close relatives, and we can't match the word Zheng. It is only natural for the uncle to visit his niece."

Zheng Guanyin looked stunned, thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "Now, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Zheng Rentai nodded again and again and said: "Exactly. To tell the truth, the old uncle has been the General of the Right Tunwei for several years. In the past few years, there has been no chance to move. This time, I heard that His Majesty intends to move the court. , this time, I want the queen to help me to seek the title of General Zuo Tunwei, the third rank."

"Pa..." Zheng Guanyin slapped her hand heavily on the table, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground and fell to pieces. Zheng Guanyin's hand hurt badly, and she gently rubbed her palm with her hand, smiling calmly Dao Dao: "Back then, when my father suggested that the Zheng family in Xingyang should help Datang with all our strength, you were the one who opposed it at that time, right?"

Zheng Rentai smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't the old man confused?"

"You can't write two Zheng characters in one stroke!" Zheng Guanyin gritted his teeth and said, "Back then, Liu Wenjing suggested that the crown prince should be abolished and replaced by the king of Qin and the generals of the twelve guards. But you were the only one who signed it together, right?"

The smile on Zheng Rentai's face suddenly turned into resentful embarrassment, and he explained weakly: "Queen Mingjian, that is the opinion of the clan..."

Before Zheng Rentai finished speaking, Zheng Guanyin got up, although he was still smiling, but looked at Zheng Rentai with a cold and stern look.

Zheng Guanyin said coldly: "You may not know, but I am actually..."

Zheng Rentai looked at Zheng Guanyin puzzled.

Zheng Guanyin smiled brightly for a moment, but there was no emotion in his tone: "I am a person who holds grudges!

Zheng Rentai looked at Zheng Guanyin in astonishment.

Zheng Guanyin's voice became even sharper and said: "If you have nothing else to do, please go back."

……

On Fang Xuanling's mansion in Chang'an City, Yu Zhining, one of the [-] bachelors of Xiri Qin Palace, looked at Fang Xuanling with a smile and said: "When the Supreme Emperor entered the customs, I was the first batch to greet the holy car in Changchun Palace. "

Fang Xuanling listened with a smile on his face.

Yu Zhining said proudly, "Beating Xue Renguo, I was the secretary of the Weibei Road Marshal's Office at the time. The days were so hard, but you remember that I never cried out."

Fang Xuanling nodded repeatedly.

Yu Zhining said again: "This time, His Majesty eliminated the Chang'an officials. This is a great thing. The imperial court should have done this long ago, and wiped out those moths and flatterers."

Fang Xuanling continued to nod.

Yu Zhining smiled wryly and said: "You also know that I am an honest person. I have never liked to associate with relatives and friends, and I do things wholeheartedly for the public. Over the years, I have offended many people. This time I rectify the court, I will put down my old face I'm looking for you. Your Majesty, please ask Xuanling to give me some kind words. If there is any dismissal in the future, Xuanling can speak up. I, Yu Zhining, are definitely not ungrateful."

Fang Xuanling just nodded in agreement.

A waiter came in and reported: "Chu Liang, former writer of Prince Qin's Palace, is asking to see you."

When Yu Zhining heard this, he quickly got up and said, "Oh, Chu Ximing is here, Xuan Cheng, then I won't bother you."

Fang Xuanling got up with a smile on his face to see off the guests.

Chu Liang was also clichéd, and approached Fang Xuanling, implying that he wanted to be an official, and was afraid of being dismissed.

For a while, Fang Xuanling's mansion was full of cars and horses. Su Shichang, Lu Deming, Yao Silian, Kong Yingda, Li Xuandao, Li Shousu, Yu Shinan, Cai Yungong, Yan Xiangshi, Cao Xujing, Xue Yuanjing, Gai Wenda, Su Xu and others came to visit.

Except for Yu Zhining and Chu Liang who left successively, the others did not leave, claiming that they wanted Fang Xuanling to treat them.

While Fang Xuanling asked his wife Lu to arrange a banquet, at this time, the original left three of Qin Wangfu Chongfu Zhechong Du Wei Gongsun Wuda, Qin Wangfu left guard Liu Shili, right guard Li Junchuo, general Dugu Yanyun, general Li Junchuo, etc. Meng Chang and others also rushed in.

These people were more or less involved in the Xuanwumen Incident, but they were not the masterminds, they were just accomplices. They were all like Duan Zhixuan. Conditions, all acquitted.

They brought gifts and came to congratulate Fang Xuanling on his promotion.

The banquet was about to begin, Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, Xie Yingdeng, Zhang Gongjin and other Wagang brothers also rushed into the living room.As soon as Niu Junda entered the door, he yelled loudly: "Fang Canjun, let's see who has come to see you!"

Fang Xuanling looked at the crowd and was extremely excited.

If Li Jiancheng was a narrow-minded person, even if all the old ministers of the Qin Palace were not killed, they would at least be exiled for thousands of miles.However, Li Jiancheng was really generous. He not only pardoned their crimes, but let them stay in their original positions.

Qin Qiong laughed loudly and said: "Today, all our old brothers from the Qin...Wagang Army are here, and it is lively and lively at the husband's room to join the army today!"

Niu Junda directed everyone to set up the tables and take out the dishes and drinks they brought.Distributed to everyone, Qin Qiong's move made Fang Xuanling not so embarrassing, after all, there were too many visitors, and the food and wine stored in Fang Xuanling's home was simply not enough to entertain everyone.

Qin Qiong looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Now that Fang Canjun is in power, if any of you have any difficulties in the future, just ask Fang Canjun for help."

The crowd laughed.

Fang Xuanling's originally smiling expression immediately collapsed.

Fang Xuanling pulled Qin Qiong behind the screen, and said solemnly: "Qin Shubao, do you think you didn't die fast enough?"

Qin Qiong noticed Fang Xuanling's serious face, and immediately put away his smile.

……

After Chen Ying and Li Xiuning came out of Tai Chi Palace, they went to Linhu Hall to meet Li Yuan. At this time, Li Yuan was still pretending to be crazy and stupid. Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuan's appearance and felt very distressed.

In the evening, Chen Ying, as a foreign minister, could not stay in the inner palace, so he returned to Chenjiabao, while Li Xiuning stayed in the inner palace to accompany Li Yuan.

When Chen Ying returned to Chenjiabao, the sky was already full of stars.After Chen Ying took a bath, he went back to the study to deal with some of the accounts. By the time he was done, it was already midnight.

Chen Ying was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, when Guo Luo stepped forward and said, "My lord, the eldest grandson Anye came to see the eldest grandson Wugou today!"

Chen Ying said noncommittally: "Eldest Sun Anye still has the face to ask Elder Sun Wugou to keep his official position?"

Guo Luo nodded.

Chen Ying smiled coldly: "He doesn't know, is it my idea to dismiss him from office? Don't talk about asking grandson Wugou, even if it is His Majesty's decree, I will not hire grandson Anye!"

Just as Chen Ying was about to enter the dormitory, Guo Luo pointed to the balcony in the distance.

With the bright moonlight in the sky, Chen Ying watched his eldest grandson Wugou hugging his knees, staring at the starry sky, dazed.

Chen Ying asked, "How long has she been sitting?"

Guo Luo said: "Since the eldest grandson Anye left, she has been sitting there!"

Chen Ying slowly retracted the hand that pushed the door.Chen Ying hesitated for a while, but pushed the door open, picked up a cloak, and walked towards the terrace.

Chen Ying walked up to Changsun Wugou, put the cloak lightly on her shoulders, and looked outside, pretending not to care, and said, "It's a bit cold!"

The eldest grandson Wugou ignored Chen Ying and continued to look at the starry sky.

Chen Ying lowered his head and smiled, "It's so late, let's take a rest."

The eldest grandson Wugou continued to look at the starry sky with a gloomy expression.

Chen Ying reluctantly sat down next to Changsun Wugou.

The eldest grandson Wugou immediately turned his head and looked in the opposite direction.

Chen Ying frowned, looked at Changsun Wugou for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "I heard that Changsun Anye came to see you today? If you really worry about this brother, I will protect him Official position. Auxiliary machine, I really have no choice, according to what he committed, Dabi (cut in half) is already the lightest punishment, I have tried my best."

The eldest grandson Wugou turned his face away, stared at Chen Ying angrily and said, "I don't care whether the eldest grandson Anye can keep his official position.

Chen Ying let out an "uh" and said in a daze, "Then you are...why?"

The eldest grandson Wugou bit his lip, his aggrieved eyes turned red.

Chen Ying became even more anxious when he saw it, he quickly grabbed Changsun Wugou's hand, and comforted him: "If you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart."

The eldest grandson Wugou's eyes were sparkling, with tears glistening, he choked up and said, "Nu...Nu is so miserable!"

Chen Ying hurriedly patted her arm comfortingly, and her eldest grandson Wugou snuggled into Chen Ying's arms.
