Chapter 936 Where to Go at the Crossroads
Chapter 58 Where to Go at the Crossroads

Li Jiancheng was circling around the study room irritably, his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists for a while, and then let go in a slumped manner.

Wrapped in a thick mattress, Zheng Guanyin was sitting at Li Jiancheng's desk, writing with a pen. She raised her head and glanced at Li Jiancheng who was like a trapped animal, then lowered her head and continued writing, saying, "Your Majesty, are you impatient?" ?”

Li Jiancheng gasped and said, "I... didn't expect... that Chen Ying and I have such identities, that he needs to imitate the sages and defile himself!"

Zheng Guanyin put down the brush, leaned over and blew the ink on the paper, and said, "Dalang, you have to figure out one thing, not what you think of Chen Ying, but the entire family in Guanzhong. host……"

Li Jiancheng stopped suddenly and stared at Zheng Guanyin.

Zheng Guanyin smiled faintly, and held up the words that had just been written on the table. On the paper were four large ink characters: "Gong Gao Zhenzhu!"

Zheng Guanyin's eyes widened, and he smiled expectantly and said, "Are my handwriting beautiful? Has it improved a lot?"

Li Jiancheng said firmly: "I...wouldn't do this kind of thing. Birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, lackeys are cooking..."

Zheng Guanyin's smile froze, she opened her mouth, but said nothing. She sighed and put down the writing in her hand, walked around the desk, walked towards Li Jiancheng and said, "Of course you can't do such things, but it doesn't mean that others can't." Would not do such a thing, now, you..."

Li Jiancheng looked at Zheng Guanyin who was slowly approaching, Zheng Guanyin stretched out two fingers, and continued: "You have only two ways to go, one is to immediately relieve the civil and military staff of the Duke of Liang, and let Chen Ying be like Uncle Huai'an." , be a happy king."

Li Jiancheng frowned and shook his head intuitively.

Zheng Guanyin smiled gently, and said lightly: "That's easy to say, there is one left, you must fight back."

Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously, "Counterattack?"

Zheng Guanyin's smile was cold, and his voice was even colder: "There is no wind, no waves. These days when Chen Ying went north, he fought Ashinasheer first, and Liang Shidu again. He won two battles in a row at almost no cost of any casualties. 28 counties in Tusan Prefecture. It is rumored that Chen Yinggong defeated the Lord of the Earthquake, so he came here, if you don’t fight back, the rumors will only get stronger and stronger, and three people become tigers, so you can imagine what will happen to Chen Ying."

Li Jiancheng was startled, and after a while he lowered his head under Zheng Guanyin's clear eyes.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Sanniang to clarify."

Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Jiancheng who strode away, slowly faded his smile, and sighed silently.

……

In Chenjiabao, Li Xiuning stared at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xuancheng, remember that I rescued Dou Jiande's family and helped him build a decent tomb..."

Wei Zheng showed embarrassment, nodded and said: "Wei Zheng owes the princess... If the princess has any difficulties in the future, Wei Zheng will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate!"

Li Xiuning shook her head and said, "I don't believe it!"

Wei Zheng was stunned.

Li Xiuning stared at Wei Dao: "You have always been unreliable when you speak."

Wei Zheng quickly said: "This is from the bottom of my heart—"

Li Xiuning said: "Is this what you said?

Wei Zheng froze for a moment, then nodded: "I said it..."

Li Xiuning smiled noncommittally, and pushed a large pile of documents in front of Wei Zheng.

Li Xiuning said: "Okay then, you can help me read these official documents first, and then help me analyze them along the way."

Wei Zheng was stunned and said, "Is that all?"

Li Xiuning said with a displeased face: "What? Can't you do it?"

Wei Zheng said, "These are just official documents, it's too..."

Li Xiuning said: "It's too easy, isn't it, can you do it?"

Wei Zheng's mouth twitched.

Wei Zheng reviewed the official documents one by one, and his originally idle expression gradually became serious.

Li Xiuning stared at Wei Zheng intently from the side, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper and he said, "There is a problem!"

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "The problem is very big. There are a pair of invisible hands in Guanzhong, leading the conspiracy to General Chen!"

Li Xiuning turned to look at He Yue'er and asked, "Is there any change in Sanhu?"

He Yue'er shook her head and said, "No, Li Yuanji's house has formed four polo teams, playing polo all day long..."

Wei Zheng also shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be Li Yuanji, otherwise he wouldn't have failed so easily last time!"

Li Xiuning said in astonishment, "Then who could it be?"

Li Xiuning was taken aback, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuan Cheng, are you scaremongering?"

Wei Zheng said, "Scaremongering?"

Wei Zheng twisted the corners of his mouth, stared at Li Xiuning and said: "Your Highness, this is the impeachment memorial for half a month, a total of 180 five copies, let's take a look, this is the first one, Your Majesty will not release it, and then ten Three bullets are connected, and this is not fired... This is 49 bullets."

Li Xiuning looked embarrassed and ugly.

Wei Zheng said: "Let's not say whether they are right or not, you look at the origin of these people - the Guanlong family!"

Li Xiuning said: "Is there anything wrong?"

Wei Zheng took a deep breath, and said, "Now that the national war with Eastern Turks is about to start, the Guanlong family impeached General Chen, can His Majesty not consider it carefully?"

Li Xiuning said: "Why did this happen, who is behind this scene?"

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "It's hard to say...General Chen has offended too many people!"

There is nothing wrong with Wei Zheng's words, at least the East Turks hate Chen Ying for not dying, and because of the food war, Chen Ying has offended the powerful clans in Guanzhong.

At this moment, Ma Sanbao knocked lightly on the door: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is here!"

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Wei Zheng will leave first!"

"It's too late!" Li Xiuning pointed at the screen and said to Wei Zheng, "Go inside!"

Wei Zheng nodded.

Just as Wei Zheng lay down behind the screen, Li Jiancheng pushed the door open and entered.

Looking at the pile of official documents on the desk.

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Sanniang, do you know everything?"

Li Xiuning said: "How can I not know about such a big matter?"

……

Tiger Yicong came earlier than the official documents of the imperial court. Chen Yingde's political affairs hall of the imperial court unanimously passed a resolution that the 28-year exploitation rights of all resources in the 50 counties of Xiazhou, Yanzhou, and Gyeongju were actually granted by Yang Rong. Bought it for 120 million guan.

In Chen Ying's heart, ten thousand muddy horses roared past.

This is really like buying a locomotive for three cents. It is not considered a purchase, it is almost like a free gift. If the resource prices of later generations are used, the coal and steel resources of the three states are estimated at more than one trillion yuan, and they are still in US dollars.

Within three years of 110 million pennies, Yang Rong can make back her capital, and in five years she can definitely earn half and half. In 50 years, you will earn hundreds or even thousands of times.

Seeing this official document, Chen Ying no longer knew what to say.

At the same time, the official document of Tiger Yicong also pointed out that there is a faint trend in the court, and it mentions the issue of Chen Yinggong's superiority.

Any power must be limited, which Chen Ying agrees with, but a deep fear is revealed in this unspoken political platform.The fear has reached the point of desperation!

Otherwise, these rumors would not have surfaced on the eve of the national decisive battle.

Chen Ying naturally thought of more.

Is it because of the handwriting of enemies inside Datang, or enemies outside Datang?
If it is a foreign enemy, Chen Ying can be relieved instead.

After all, it is understandable for the two countries to use their own means to divide, separate, spread rumors, and slander against the enemy.

However, if it is a political enemy within Datang, it would be terrible.

Once this trend develops, it will not be a military general who only curbs what has become a climate.The safest way is to "prevent the incipient development" and use the power of the system to extinguish the spark of danger at the source.

A strong country comes from a strong general, a strong general comes from a strong soldier, a strong soldier comes from a strong people, and the root of long-term rule lies in a weak people!In the absence of foreign enemies, if the people are weak, the king will be safe.

There is no eternal dynasty in the world.There is no everlasting regime in history. The Han and Song dynasties perished, but in the last years of the disintegrated Han Dynasty, the separatist warlords were able to suppress foreigners with only one corner, while the Song Dynasty, which was still unified, did not fight back against the abuse of foreigners. Power!
Historians commented: Guoheng died with weakness, while Han alone died with strength!

Because even if the man's Han Dynasty is disabled, he is still a man, and even if the woman's Da Song has all hands and feet, she is still a woman!
In fact, the Chinese nation has been spinning in a strange circle.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the princes separated their regimes.After Sima Yan usurped the throne, he immediately repaired the problems of the end of the Han Dynasty. He thought he was smart and dismissed the county soldiers.

The army of the county is a system created in Liu Bang's era. Liu Bang ordered the selection of brave men as the standing soldiers of the county.Those in the plains are called Cheqi (knights); those in mountainous areas are called Caiguan; those in water villages are called Louchuan.Chariots are chariot soldiers and cavalry (after Emperor Wu, mainly cavalry), material officials are infantry, and building boats are water troops.Mostly there are many officials in Bashu, Sanhe, Yingchuan and other counties, there are many knights in Shangjun, Beidi, Longxi and northern counties, and there are many buildings in the Yangtze River Basin and along the coast.The county soldiers take turns to go to the county country "Fan Shang" (service, duty) every year to receive military training. For: Taishou (duwei) - county magistrate (county captain) - township miser (you 徼) and pavilion chief.

However, Sima Yan was afraid that the prefect of the county would rebel, so he dismissed the soldiers of the county, and the reserve military service system handed down from the Han Dynasty suddenly collapsed.Yang Wannian, a Di man, rebelled and killed four generals in 14 years.Hundreds of counties and counties in several states were corrupted, and nearly one million people died.

However, Sima Yan was still stubborn. When he found that there was a problem with his national policy, he did not change it, sowing the root of the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Then came the chaotic times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. After the unification of the Sui Dynasty, it was discovered that the social turmoil was rooted in the aristocratic families. The Sui Dynasty began to weaken the aristocrats and strengthen the imperial power.

In history, after the Tang Dynasty formed a vassal town, the Song Dynasty began to further abolish martial arts, but was rubbed on the ground by the Liao Kingdom.

The news that Chen Ying received was too small, and he didn't know whether the rumor was created by the enemy or was ordered by Li Jiancheng.

After all, people change.

There can be many people who share adversity, but not so many people who share wealth.

It was obvious that Yang Rong's move was a great help to Chen Ying, but at this juncture, there were rumors of Chen Ying's meritorious deeds.

Is it the Guanzhong clan, or a play written and directed by Li Jiancheng?

Chen Ying thought deeply.The more depressed the mood becomes!
At this crossroads, what should I do?
PS: Back home, pain and happiness.Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time get together, Chinese emotions, and drinking is indispensable.A bit decadent, today's task has not been completed, let's do this first, obviously slow down.
