Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 935 Men Conquer the World and Women Conquer Men
Chapter 57 Men Conquer the World Women Conquer Men

On December [-], the first year of Li Jiancheng's Kaiyuan, Chen Ying's battle report spread to Chang'an.

During the battle, Chen Ying annihilated Liang Shidu's troops, captured Liang Shidu, his pseudo-shangshu Liu Sheng, and his servant Gao Xu.

Liang Jun totaled more than [-] soldiers, all of whom laid down their weapons and surrendered unconditionally.

There are more than 28 households in [-] counties in Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Gyeongju, with a population of more than [-] people brought under the rule of Datang.

In this battle, Chen Ying cleared the last obstacle between him and the East Turks.

Winning the battle is certainly a joy, but Li Jiancheng has a headache about how to award the Duke of Liang who has made great achievements in the world.

The battle was finally over, and more than [-] Liang soldiers died and fell, and they were wiped out in a day. This kind of great achievement is like a myth.

However, from Li Jiancheng's point of view, defeating Master Liang is certainly expected.After all, Liang Shidu lacked food and grass, and it was no big deal to defeat Liang Shidu without all the armored equipment. They had expected such a result before the war.

However, what surprised Li Jiancheng the most was that the number of Tang soldiers killed and casualties was less than a hundred, and most of the injuries were due to the cold weather, mostly frostbite.

Of course, Li Jiancheng's headache is not limited to how to reward Chen Ying, but how to resettle these 30 people. They are the most troublesome.

Although there are enough grain reserves in Guanzhong, and enough farms and factories to absorb the 30 people, if 30 people flood in all of a sudden, there will definitely be troubles, and we must plan in the long run.

……

Wang Gui walked into the Secretary's Office, followed by a Lang Guan holding a stack of documents.

Secretary Cheng, Secretary Lang and other officials of the Secretary Province got up one after another.

Secretary Cheng Chu Suiliang said: "Congratulations Wang Shangshu, you have been promoted to Xiangguo."

Everyone followed suit and congratulated Fang Xuanling in unison.

Wang Gui smiled and nodded to everyone.

Wang Gui pointed to the account book in the hand of the accompanying Lang Guan and said: "The accounts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs this year will be sent to the Secretary for archiving. Please register and sign for receipt."

Secretary Cheng hurriedly went through the formalities.

Wang Gui turned the corner and walked to Shangshusheng, but saw Fang Xuanling sitting in a corner, still concentrating on his official duties.

Wang Gui nodded, leaned forward and said, "Xuanling, I heard from Your Majesty that you recommended me to be a political advisor?"

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Wang Gui checks with Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly turned sideways and said: "Shu Jie doesn't have to be like this. Xuanling recommended Shu Jie just because Shu Jie is the most qualified for this position, not because Shu Jie has the best relationship with Xuanling."

Wang Gui pointed at Fang Xuanling and burst out laughing.

Fang Xuanling also had a smile on his face.

Wang Gui smiled bitterly and said, "I, Wang, how can I be the most suitable candidate? If Your Majesty has done something wrong, my choice is probably to try my best to make up for it, not to correct it in person. If it weren't for His Majesty who knows his mistakes and can correct them Man, with my temperament, I will not end well!"

Fang Xuanling said: "What Shu Jie said is both right and wrong."

Wang Gui looked at Fang Xuanling with interest.

Fang Xuanling smiled softly: "Uncle Jie's temperament is not like mine, everything must be divided into black and white, if the civil and military affairs of the court are all like Fang, then the court will definitely mess up."

Wang Gui nodded appreciatively.

Fang Xuanling said: "To be a chancellor, one must have a generous heart. Although your majesty is not the best emperor, he has the heart of the best emperor. Shu Jie came to serve as a political adviser and entered the political affairs hall to serve your majesty. It’s really just right to pick up what’s left and fill in the gaps.”

Wang Jie pondered, nodded and said: "Xuanling, the most troublesome thing for His Majesty now is how to award the Hussar General Chen Ying. This matter depends on Xuanling..."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "It's simple!"

Wang Gui said with all his thoughts: "Xuanling means... to be crowned king?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "Nowadays in the Tang Dynasty, there are only two kings with different surnames, Li Yi, king of Yan County, and Du Fuwei, king of Wu. Now the two kings with different surnames are far away from the center and don't care about political affairs!"

Wang Gui nodded and said: "That's right, the Tang Dynasty still cannot do without General Chen, but one must be rewarded for meritorious service, and now General Chen's merit... How should I be rewarded?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Let the Zhongshu draw up an edict to make his son and bastard Li Siye the Duke of Lueyang County, his eldest son Chen Qian the Duke of Liang, and his eldest daughter Li Ruoxi the Lord of Lantian County!"

Wang Gui said: "That's it?"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "General Chen must be the same as King Yan and King Wu to be crowned king, and stay away from the center, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public...Now the Great Tang cannot do without General Chen!"

……

The servants and maids of honor hurried in and out of the bedroom.

Li Jiancheng paced back and forth outside the bedroom restlessly.

A loud cry of a baby came from the bedroom.

Li Jing's wife, Zhang Chuchen, a red girl and Li Xiuning came out hand in hand.

Zhang Chuchen said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the empress has given birth to a boy, and the mother and child are safe.

Li Jiancheng was immediately relieved and smiled.

Zhang Chuchen said: "The little prince is ranked seventh, the empress please give your majesty a name for the little prince."

Li Jiancheng couldn't help rubbing his hands together and said, "This... let me think about it carefully, let's choose a baby name for now... let's call it... let's call it Li Sheng!"

"Pfft..."

When Li Xiuning heard this, she immediately bent over with a smile.

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't it good...Xiao Qi was born, and the news of General Chen's success came. If not, I will be called Li Jie..."

Li Xiuning said: "Poor Xiao Qi..."

Li Jiancheng murmured, "Sanniang, what's your name?"

Li Xiuning said: "Xiao Liu's name is Cheng Yi, and Xiao Qi's name is Cheng Ren!"

……

Shangshu Province, the former Liangshi capital of Tongwancheng, has now been changed to Xiazhou Governor's Office of Datang.

In the backyard of the yamen, Yang Rong beat up angrily with an abacus.

Yang Ze came to the door and knocked lightly on the door.

Yang Rong threw down her abacus and said, "Come in!"

Watching Yang Ze come in, Yang Rong said happily, "When did the elder brother come to Xiazhou?"

"It's just been an hour!" Yang Ze looked at Yang Rong with a tired face and said, "I heard that you had a bad fight with your little cousin?"

Yang Rong nodded and said, "No, it's just that we haven't settled the deal, it's not unpleasant!"

Yang Ze casually found a Jindun and sat down and said, "Rong Niang, I'm not talking about you, you've made a lot of money over the years, so why worry about it..."

Yang Rong shook her head and said, "Brother, you don't understand!"

Yang Ze said angrily: "Don't play petty temper and make things difficult for others, or your relatives will become enemies, that's not good!"

"Brother, just put 1 hearts on my shoulders, I have my own measure!" Yang Rong said disapprovingly, "Don't worry, my little cousin will definitely promise me!"

Yang Ze is not a woman, although he is Yang Rong's elder brother.However, he did not understand this sister.

Yang Rong is a person with a higher heart than the sky. She would rather stay at home for more than 40 years, and she is not willing to settle down.

In the beginning, she was forced to marry a samurai Xun as his successor. In fact, there were two considerations.

Li Yuan is bullying Hongnong Yang's family and humiliating Yang's family in this way.

Yang Rong is proud, she is naturally unwilling to accept her fate.

She finally has a girlhood dream in her heart, to marry a hero if she wants to marry.Even if it is not a hero's wife, I would rather be a hero's concubine.

Samurai Xun is not good enough for her.

In fact, in Yang Rong's heart, except for Chen Ying who fits her aesthetic point of view, no other man can get into her eyes.

After Yang Rong's growth over the years, especially the mastery of Wu's firm, under the influence of Chen Ying, her vision has broadened a lot, and she knows it very well.

In the future Datang, resources will be the mainstream.

Whoever controls the resources controls everything.

Don't look at Chen Ying's great reputation now, and he is deeply trusted by Li Jiancheng.

But how long can this trust last?
Although Li Xiuning is Chen Ying's wife, Li Xiuning is really not a suitable wife, and Li Daozhen is not a suitable lover either.

If Chen Ying would support her like she supported Li Daozhen, she would be fully capable of making Xiazhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou into Yang Rong's kingdom.

The imperial edicts of the emperors of these three states are not as effective as a word from her.

Master Liang is an idiot, and even the biggest idiot in the world.

Sitting on Baoshan, but can't use it.

Otherwise, just relying on the resources of the 28 counties in the three states, they could become a helpless existence in Datang.

Yang Rong believes in one sentence very much, men conquer the world, women conquer men.

Chen Ying can conquer the world, and Yang Rong can conquer Chen Ying.

Yang Rong believes that in this world, Chen Ying is the most suitable lover.

Chen Ying is very young, and has a heavy army in his hands, and manages countless people and land, so he is simply the best lover.

Yang Rong believes that she will not only become Chen Ying's partner in life, but also a good partner in his career. She and I will definitely make Chen Ying's wealth increase at an alarming rate.

With Yang's background, Yang's contacts and resources, plus the wealth she can control.

Chen should be able to own people, wealth and troops.

Holding people, wealth and army in hand, my heart is the emperor.

That night……

Yang Rong dressed up to go out, this time she did not go to find Chen Ying.

Instead, he went to find Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian.

As the deputy marshal of the Northern Expedition, Li Xiaogong actually had almost the same power as Chen Ying.

You can't get approval from Chen Ying, but you can definitely get it from Li Xiaogong.

Most importantly, Li Xiaogong is much easier to fool than Chen Ying.

When Li Xiaogong faced Yang Rong, Yang Rong had become a royal sister and queen.

Just like the diplomats of the two countries, start business negotiations very formally.

Yang Rong went straight to the point and told Li Xiaogong bluntly that she wanted the mining rights of Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Gyeongju, and that she could resettle more than 120 people in the three states on the spot, ensuring that everyone has clothes and clothes, and everyone If you have food, you can get [-] million yuan in money and food without spending a penny more from the court.

Li Xiaogong was tempted at that time.

The lack of money in the Tang court was more serious than the lack of blood.

Of course, adding these more than 30 mouths was also a huge burden for the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty.

The land of three states in Xinna, with 28 counties and a population of more than 30, is a very heavy burden for Datang.

If you can throw this burden to Yang Rong.

Might as well be a good thing.

Trading is easier than Yang Rong imagined.

Li Xiaogong sent an application to Li Jiancheng in Chang'an by riding fast for eight hundred miles.

After Li Jiancheng of Chang'an City received the memorial, he hardly thought about it and took it to the Political Affairs Hall for discussion.

The six prime ministers in the political affairs hall had a brief discussion.

Including Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Yu Wenshi and four votes in favor, Yang Gongren abstained and passed directly.

Li Jiancheng immediately agreed to Yang Rong's request.
