Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 917 Today, the king gave you a fortune
Chapter 39 Today, I will give you a fortune
Li Jing was sitting in the carriage, looking at the red clay stove in the carriage, steam was rising from the stove at this moment.Li Jing was very surprised, why did Chen Ying give him the position of Marshal of the Peking University? In terms of prestige, Chen Ying was No. 1 in the army of the Tang Dynasty. In less time, the Western Regions were managed as Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.

If you think about it differently, Li Jing will definitely not give up the position of Marshal Ma, who has been recruited from the north. Although it is said that destroying his country in World War I can make his ministers reach the pinnacle and endanger his own safety, but as long as he can leave his name in history , why cherish this body?
Li Jing couldn't figure out why Chen Ying would give up his position. According to the relationship between Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng, even if the Turks were wiped out, what would Chen Ying do wrong?He will be idle at most, but once there is another war in Tang Dynasty, Chen Ying will definitely be used.

With all kinds of doubts, Li Jing still came to Chenjiabao.However, when he just arrived in Chenjiabao, Li Jing was in a hurry and learned that Chen Yingtian was summoned into the palace by the emperor before dawn.

Li Jing naturally thought that Chen Ying was hiding from him.

However, not long after, a panting servant with his hat tilted crookedly bowed towards Li Jing and said, "General Li, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

Li Jing didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to Chang'an City in a carriage.

Without stopping all the way, Li Jing quickly came to the outside of the Taiji Palace. Under the leadership of the servant, Li Jing walked slowly forward along the corridor of the palace.

It is not the first time for Li Jing to come to Taiji Palace. Looking at the direction led by the servants, it seems to be the polo field in the Royal Inner Garden of Taiji Palace. Li Tangsheng is playing polo. Whether it is Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, they are Polo master.

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, could it be that Li Jiancheng called him over to play polo?
However, turning around Zhaobi, Li Jing suddenly discovered that the polo field, which originally had an area of ​​more than [-] mu, had changed into something else.

There is no trace of any polo field here, but instead it is a huge sand table of mountains, rivers and rivers. A small ditch with a width of one foot winds on the huge polo field, and a huge earth mountain rises from the ground.

Li Jing had just thought that since Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, he had built a large amount of land to renovate the royal inner garden, but looking at the topography of this earthen mountain, Li Jing suddenly realized that this earthen mountain was actually a yin mountain.

That small ditch is the Yellow River.

Sure enough, along the direction of the ditch, there are cities the size of a small courtyard. Without exception, these cities are all three-foot-high walls, watchtowers, parapets, horse faces, enemy buildings, stables, granaries, Barracks and government offices are all available.

Li Jing looked at these cities, which were the size of a private house, and saw the words "Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Shengzhou, Helan Mountain, Yinshan...

Li Jing looked at all this in surprise, dumbfounded.

Under the leadership of Li Jing's servant, he followed the "Yellow River" and crossed the "Yin Mountain". Finally, he saw Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying in a grassland. Ashina Simo beside Chen Ying pointed to the land under Li Jiancheng's feet and said: "Your Majesty, this doesn't look like a Turkic tent, here..."

As he spoke, Ashina Simo walked to the southeast of Li Jiancheng, and stepped on a small tunnel with his feet: "This is called Hua'erhai (Haiji Lake), and Hua'erhai is stationed with attached troops..."

Li Jing looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, how long did it take you to get these things?"

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly and said: "Nine months, since I became emperor, I have been ordering people to renovate Beiyuan to make it what it is now."

Chen Ying and Li Jing looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "Now that this place has been built, I ordered people to closely guard it and strengthen the guards. Even the prime minister cannot enter here, because what is hidden here is our Tang Dynasty, the highest level of military secrets."

Li Jiancheng stood on the "Yin Mountain", overlooking the entire Beiyuan, and said proudly: "I want to be here to make a plan for the destruction of the Turkic wolf species."

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Jing and said, "General Li, can I make my wish come true?"

Li Jing did not answer Li Jiancheng's question directly, but turned to look at Chen Ying and said, "Pharmacist has a doubt, please ask General Chen to clarify it..."

Chen Ying said noncommittally: "General Li would like to ask why this general wants to give up the post of Generalissimo Ma for the Northern Conscript?"

Li Jing nodded.

Chen Ying burst out laughing: "General Li, do you want to hear the truth, or lie?"

Li Jing said: "What about the truth? What about the lie?"

Chen Ying smiled and said: "People value self-knowledge, and those who know themselves know that Chen is a general, not a handsome talent. Not everyone can be the Marquis of Huaiyin, and the same is true for Chen. Chen can be a general, alone Block one side, but have no ability to seek the country!"

Li Jing suddenly realized.

Only then did Li Jing turn to Li Jiancheng and said, "I request that General Chen be the Grand Marshal of the West Route Army, and lead the three towns of Anxi and the four towns of Liangzhou to dispatch troops at the end of the month!"

Li Jiancheng said in surprise, "So fast?"

Li Jing said solemnly: "A decisive battle within the territory can certainly reduce transportation costs. However, once a decisive battle occurs, we will lose countless acres of land and cities in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is better to spend military resources to fight outside the country!"

……

Shang Shusheng, although no one stepped forward, all the officials still surrounded the Shang Shusheng's yamen, unwilling to leave.However, at this moment, an elderly official tremblingly left the crowd and walked up to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng frowned.

Fang Xuanling said: "Who is your last name? Where do you work? What grievances?"

The elder official was suddenly furious. He pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xuancheng, don't you fucking do this!"

Fang Xuanling said in a more emphatic tone: "Who is your surname? Where did you work? What grievances? If you want to get justice, just explain everything clearly. If you don't want to say it, then please go back."

The elder official was trembling with anger, pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xuancheng, old man Wu Shirong, 66 years old, Zhonglang in the East Palace, Hongluqing. What I want to ask is, why did the court dismiss me from office?"

Wei Zheng took out a document, put it in front of Wu Shirong, and said, "Mr. Wu, you are a veteran minister of Taiyuan Yuancong. You have made great contributions. Since you joined the East Palace, you have been conscientious and hardworking. You have never been corrupt, and you have never bent the law for personal gain."

Wu Shirong knocked on the case arrogantly and said: "Then why dismiss the old man?",

Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Duke Wu has been honored and raised in the East Palace since the fifth year of Wude. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Duke Wu became Minister of Honghe. However, from the time he took office to now, Duke Wu has only been to Honghe Temple once. In the early dynasty, Duke Wu also claimed to be sick. The imperial court set up Hongluqing, and the tributes, feasts, gifts, and welcomes of the four barbarians, as well as the country's murderous rituals, the temples of the central capital, and the ban on the removal of Daoist and Buddhist books were all assigned to them. Yu, under his responsibility, I would like to ask Mr. Wu, if Feng Xiangguo passed away a few days ago, should you come forward and issue a consolation edict on behalf of the imperial court?"

Wu Shirong's expression was tense and he couldn't say a word.

Wei Zhengdao: "Where was Duke Wu at that time? There are three provinces and six ministries in the imperial court, and there are serious overstaffing. For one job, there are three or four officials who are really lacking. As an old minister of the Eastern Palace, why can't Duke Wu share the worries of His Majesty? Why can't he set an example? ?”

After Wu Shirong stood there for a long time, he slowly turned and left.

Fang Xuanling raised his voice and said: "Who else wants to seek justice?"

Just as Wu Shirong was leaving, after being hinted by Wei Zheng, a small official hurriedly followed a document, three steps in parallel, and caught up with Wu Shirong.

Wu Shirong looked at the little official angrily and said, "Even you dare to laugh at this old man?"

"Grand Wu forgive me!"

The little official handed the document to Wu Shirong.

Wu Shirong opened it slowly and glanced at it hastily.

Wu Shirong's eyes were already straight.

It says that Wu Shirong's eldest son, Wu Dazhi, and his second son, Wu Dayong, sacrificed their lives for the country. Wu Shirong is a martyr of the dynasty and can enjoy a total of 20 acres of pension land, tax-free for [-] years.After Wu Shirong retires, he can enjoy an annual pension of [-] yuan...

Seeing this scene, Wu Shirong howled and slapped his mouth while weeping bitterly, "Your Majesty, this old minister is not a human being... Your Majesty, this old minister has wrongly blamed you!"

In fact, among the veterans who were dismissed, like Wu Shirong, because of their poor family or disability due to meritorious service, such as Zhao Wenke and others, they all received the imperial pension or pension from the court, although these incomes were not as good as what they paid for. Official salaries, however, for them, are undoubtedly nectar after a long drought.

In Hejian Wangfu, when the lights come on, the sound of silk and bamboo sounds, the singer in light gauze can open her teeth and sing along with the music: "Welcome outside, welcome outside. My stomach is full of desolation, the vegetation is withered, and the tears are clear when I lean on the railing. A gust of golden wind passed by, and the fallen leaves filled the atrium. Thinking about my husband’s departure, I never returned, and drifted outside. Looking forward to the return journey, looking forward to the return journey. The autumn night is hard, and the autumn boudoir is deserted. The autumn moon is hazy, and the autumn insects are like golden bells. Autumn cool window Outside the house, the autumn wind sweeps the window lattice. Thinking of the family leaving, there is always no return journey, wandering outside..."

Li Xiaogong lay comfortably on the soft couch, two maids in the palace gently massaged his legs, and a beautiful woman in palace attire poured wine for Li Xiaogong from a leather cup.

The so-called leather cup is the mouth.The beautiful woman drank the wine into her mouth first, and then mouth to mouth... Well, this tone is a bit heavy, and ordinary people really can't enjoy it.

At this moment, the steward said: "Your Majesty, the King of Yi'an County is here to see you!"

Li Xiaogong said: "No see!"

The steward turned and left, when he reached the door, Li Xiaogong said: "Bring him here!"

Li Xiaogong waved to the beautiful woman beside him, the beautiful woman understood what Li Xiaogong meant, and immediately lay down in Li Xiaogong's arms.

After a while, all the clothes were gone.

When the steward led Li Xiaochang to the hall, there was an indescribably glamorous scene, Li Xiaochang was suddenly embarrassed, he didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to stay.

After a while, Li Xiaogong watched Li Xiaochang, who had been struggling for a long time, still step into the hall, and then waved his hand to signal the beautiful woman to leave.

Li Xiaogong said with a smile all over his face: "What kind of fragrant wind is this that brought the King of Yi'an here?"

Li Xiaochang also said with a smile on his face: "Could it be that the Hejian County King also learned from the Supreme Emperor, listening to Zen, not hearing the fireworks and sufferings in the world, closing the door, and enjoying himself at home?"

Li Xiaogong stretched out his hand to signal Li Xiaochang to sit down, and he said flatly: "The Prince of Yi'an is joking, a certain family has a martial artist, there is not a few drops of ink in his stomach, he has been fighting and killing for half his life, he only wants to be safe and secure, but he ends up dying."

Li Xiaochang pretended to speak earnestly and said: "The King of Hejian has a good idea, but you want to be independent from the world, but the imperial court will not let you do it."

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "Even if the court is chaotic, it is the Li family who are the emperor. I am a clan king, what disaster can I have?"

Li Xiaochang saw that Li Xiaogong was not up to the tricks, so he leaned over to Li Xiaogong's face and said: "You can't say that. People have no foresight, and they must have near worries. If their lips are dead, their teeth will be cold. If they are members of the Li family, they will all be punished by the court." Except, the Duke of Hejian, can he take care of himself alone?"

Li Xiaochang definitely didn't wash his mouth, his tone was very heavy, Li Xiaogong could accept his concubine's bad breath, but he couldn't stand Li Xiaochang's heavy tone, but Li Xiaogong didn't show disgust, instead he laughed and said: "How is this possible? Woolen cloth?"

Li Xiaochang sighed, and said earnestly: "Xiaogong, your King Zhao has become the King of Hejian, don't you care? You destroyed Nanliang and put down the Jianghuai Rebellion."

The smile on Li Xiaogong's face faded away immediately.

When Li Xiaochang saw Li Xiaogong's face changed, he said with joy in his heart: "Recently, not only the clan of the Li family, but also all the nobles and salaries have been demoted. know what's going to happen."

Li Xiaogong stared at his feet and said: "So what? The one sitting on top of the altar is no longer the Supreme Emperor."

Li Xiaochang coughed and said: "Xiaogong, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart, look..."

Li Xiaogong waved his hand to signal the maids, singers, musicians, and stewards beside him to go out.

After there were only two people left in the living room, Li Xiaochang leaned close to Li Xiaogong's ear and whispered softly: "Do you want to invite Your Majesty back?"

Li Xiaogong was surprised suddenly and said: "Which Your Majesty?"

Li Xiaochang immediately looked displeased.

Li Xiaogong suddenly realized: "You mean the Supreme Emperor?"

Li Xiaochang nodded and said: "How is that possible?"

Li Xiaochang asked back: "How is that impossible?"

Li Xiaogong said with a wry smile: "In Chang'an City, all the military power is in the hands of His Majesty. Since the Xuanwu Gate's change last time, His Majesty has been on guard against military power. Now, the General of Zuo Jianmen has been replaced by Li Anyan, All the guards and servants around the Supreme Emperor are His Majesty's people, what's more, Chen Ying is still in Chang'an..."

Li Xiaochang smiled triumphantly and said: "That depends on the people's opinion. Now the aristocratic families all over the city are in panic. How many people from the Guanzhong aristocratic families are in the imperial army? If Dalang wants to seize the military power, he must first ask The Chang'an family, do you agree or not?"

Li Xiaogong frowned cautiously, and said slowly: "How sure are you?"

Li Xiaochang said with a proud face: "If the Prince of Hejian is willing to participate, there is a [-]% certainty."

Li Xiaogong pointed around and said: "What can I do? There are only one hundred and ten people left in the palace guards, so what if I give them all to you?"

Li Xiaochang shook his head and said: "The talents of Xiaogong are not in Chang'an City."

Li Xiaogong said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details."

Li Xiaochang solemnly said: "If Your Majesty regains control of the Great Treasure, people from all walks of life in the world need someone to appease you. You are the old boss of Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and it is up to you to convince Li Jing of this matter. Keeping Li Jing safe is equivalent to keeping most of the army safe. Tell me, is that the truth?"

Li Xiaogong said with difficulty: "Although I say that, it is still unknown whether Li Jing can sell my face."

Li Xiaochang said: "If you welcome the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, you will take over the military power as the general Tiance."

Li Xiaogong fell into deep thought.

Li Xiaochang drank tea in his free time.

Li Xiaogong took a deep breath and said, "How many troops do you have? When will you strike?"

Li Xiaochang said: "There are 1000 elite warriors, [-] slain soldiers, and [-] troops from all the clans in Guanzhong!"

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "With 1000 troops, if you attack suddenly, the chances of winning are still very high."

Li Xiaochang said with a condescending smile: "The Palace of Ganlu usually has only a thousand guards, if Li Anyan can cheat to open the palace gate, even if Li Anyan has the bravery of a million men, he will not escape death."

Li Xiaogong said cautiously: "Rescuing the Supreme Emperor is the key."

Li Xiaochang said: "Naturally, I will personally lead the troops to the Ganlu Palace to welcome His Majesty back."

Li Xiaogong said with a sigh: "What about the time? When will we do it?"

Li Xiaochang said indifferently: "Tonight."

Li Xiaogong was taken aback, looked at Li Xiaochang in disbelief and said, "Tonight?"

Li Xiaochang nodded and said: "Why, Xiaogong, are you scared?"

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "That's not true, who is guarding the Xuanwu Gate today?"

Li Xiaochang said with a smile: "Eldest grandson Anye."

Li Xiaogong looked at Li Xiaochang meaningfully and said: "It seems that the king of Yi'an County has already planned well."

Li Xiaochang cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Thanks for the compliment."

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Then I wish Xiaochang far away, the flag is triumphant, and success will come soon!"

Li Xiaochang left satisfied, looking at Li Xiaochang's back.

The smile on Li Xiaogong's face became colder and colder.

At this moment, the steward quietly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

Li Xiaogong took out a letter talisman, handed it to the steward, and said indifferently: "Have you followed this king for a few years?"

The steward nodded and said: "From the first year of Wude to this year, it has been seven years!"

"That's right...it's been seven years!" Li Xiaogong said: "It's not too long. Today, the king gave you a fortune. You take my life talisman and go to General Chen. Remember, you must Quietly leave the palace, be careful not to be watched by others..."

PS: I drank too much with my friends at noon yesterday, and I am very sorry for the fragmentation. I have to catch the high-speed train back to Beijing tomorrow morning, so go to bed early today, and make up for it yesterday.I hope everyone understands!
