Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Yu Yanzhang said: "The Yuan family has [-] private soldiers in [-] farms outside Chang'an, and none of them went out, and the [-] Yuan's followers in Chang'an did not leave Chang'an either!"

Li Yuan said: "Is this impossible? Besides the Yuan family, who else has this strength?"

Yu Yanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized.

Politics is as simple as that. If you say you do it, you do it, and if you don't.If you say you didn't do it, then you didn't do it, yes and no!

Chapter 69 Repaying Him in Your Own Way

"His Royal Highness, don't you feel that this matter is strange?"

"What's wrong?" Although Li Jiancheng has only just turned [-], his beard and hair are covered with hoarfrost due to working day and night. Even if he told others that he was forty, most people would believe him.Li Jiancheng's thick eyebrows gradually frowned, looking at Chen Ying under the candle, he asked worriedly, "What's so strange?"

"As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Although Chen Ying is humble, there is nothing to worry about!" Chen Ying said sadly: "However, Chen Ying is a disciple of His Royal Highness. The Yuan family framed Chen Ying and offended him. The crown prince of the country, I am afraid that the gain outweighs the loss, and the county magistrate who ransacked the family and exterminated the family, this is not a joke."

Li Jiancheng approached and asked in a low voice, "Are you suspicious of King Qin?"

"You must guard against it," Chen Ying said: "The soldiers in charge of Lingzhou under my sect are all elite. Although they are not as strong as [-]% of the troops of the Tang Dynasty, this is a very bad start. There are so many officials, and they have released their military power, I am afraid that some people will be anxious."

"Speaking of this matter, I didn't expect you to be able to see the strangeness keenly." Li Jiancheng sighed softly, "The King of Qin is simple in nature, but the Palace of the King of Qin, especially Changsun Wuji, is not a peaceful person. The strength of the position, but the Sacred Heart is unpredictable..."

When Chen Ying heard that it was the Yuan clan who wanted to recapture the iron and salt mines belonging to the Yuan clan, he immediately decided to fight back.However, Chen Ying had no power at all in the court, and there was no possibility of success if he wanted to fight back against the Yuan clan.But if you take advantage of the power of Prince Li Jiancheng, then it will definitely be different.

Although the Yuan family is one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Guanlong Nobility Group, any of the Guanlong Eight Pillar Kingdoms is a colossus. The Guanlong nobles married each other and formed a deep-rooted alliance of interests. All lost.Even if Li Jiancheng really wanted to deal with the Yuan family, he would have to think twice before acting.

It is actually not easy to take advantage of Li Jiancheng's momentum.Originally, Li Jiancheng was not someone who could be easily fooled. He knew who was beneficial to him and who was useful to him.

But Li Jiancheng also has Ni Lin in his heart, that is the reserve of the country.Although Li Jiancheng didn't want to bear the notoriety of killing his younger brother, Li Jiancheng didn't have the slightest burden in his heart to deal with Li Shimin's minions.When Li Jiancheng heard Chen Ying's words, the doubts in his heart were immediately resolved.

Although Lingzhou produces iron, of course it also produces salt.However, due to limitations in technology and productivity, the output of salt and iron in Lingzhou is not too high. One hundred thousand catties of iron is only fifty tons, which is the weight that a heavy truck can pull away.This should be Yuanshi's accumulation over the years.Is it worth it to offend him for such a mere tens of thousands of dollars?Li Jiancheng also thought about this problem.Now I finally understand that the Yuan family framed Chen Ying, ostensibly for the salt and iron of Lingzhou, but secretly it was an attack on Li Jiancheng's military power.

As for Chen Ying's ambition, Li Jiancheng hadn't thought about it.As an upstart in the East Palace, Chen Yingtao had ambitions, and his biggest ambition was to become a famous minister of ZTE.

He didn't worry about Chen Ying becoming a vassal on the separatist side, as long as anyone with a little brain could see it.The Tang Dynasty has pacified the Northwest and Bashu, and is sitting in the east and the middle of the Guanzhong. More than [-] armored soldiers will march eastward and go out to conquer Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. It will be a matter of time;

After all, if Chen Ying wants to grow up in this system, he needs to accumulate qualifications and popularity for a long time. If Chen Ying can become a town commander in decades, Li Jiancheng even thinks that both the monarch and his ministers can leave their names in history. Brilliant story.

This is the advantage of being young. Chen Ying's age makes it easy for people to overlook his ambition.Although Lingzhou's strategic location is very important, it is the place of the Fourth World War. Without the support of money and food from Guanzhong, Lingzhou would not be able to support itself.

Seeing Li Jiancheng's dignified expression, Chen Ying said: "A hundred years ago, the Yuan clan was still huge, but now they are..."

Li Jiancheng said: "But what?"

"A big fat pig!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "The Yuan family has accumulated money and food for a hundred years, which can be piled up like a mountain. They have people, food, and fields. As long as they slaughter the Yuan family, they can fatten the court. Destroy the county magistrate and destroy the family." Ling Yin, if you get rid of the Yuan clan, you can get more than one million grain and money."

"That's what it says, and it's also true!"

But Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "You can just say this here in this palace, and when you go out, just control your own mouth, otherwise you will definitely be killed!"

"There is something that I don't know whether to say or not to say!"

"What, what else can you say to me?" Li Jiancheng asked with a smile.

Chen Ying said with a suppressed voice, "Today, the Right Guard was reorganized into the Dingyuan Army, out of suspicion."

Li Jiancheng frowned suddenly, nodded: "That's true."

Chen Ying said again: "If my subordinates are successfully falsely accused by the Yuan family, then who is most likely to take over as the head of Lingzhou?"

Li Jiancheng said: "This..."

At this moment, Chen Ying said coldly: "Your Highness, why don't you treat yourself like a man?"

"You mean?"

Having said that, Chen Ying stopped talking.

After talking about five points, let Li Jiancheng consider the rest.

For Li Jiancheng, the biggest focus right now is actually the struggle with King Qin.Li Jiancheng was naturally not reconciled to failure. As the crown prince and heir apparent of a country, Li Jiancheng knew very well that if he failed, Yang Yong's fate would be his fate.

Li Shimin not only has the strength to compete for the position of the East Palace, but also has the ambition to compete for the position of the East Palace.He had already taken actions to compete for the position of the Eastern Palace, and it was quite effective.

It is not without reason that the Yuan family framed Chen Ying. At least it seems that the current emperor also intends to use King Qin to balance the power of the East Palace. Chen Ying's release is just a temptation.

For the common people, the emperor is supreme, and no one dares to resist. In fact, there is no absolute supremacy in this world.At least on the issue of establishing a reserve, today's holy majesty can't let his temper go.If King Qin is forcibly pushed to the position of the East Palace, even if the princelings and other factions in the court may not dare to collectively strike, but obstructing one or two secretly will be enough to make the situation worse, and may even prevent the government from even leaving the imperial city. Not to mention the situation in the world is in the hands of one person.

Li Jiancheng's thinking was deliberately misunderstood by Chen Ying.The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

"Enough of this matter, you must not tell anyone!" Li Jiancheng said sternly: "You have to remember, if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your body."

Chen Ying knew that Li Jiancheng was tempted, but it was not easy to trap the Yuan family, but if he failed to steal the chicken and the matter was revealed, it would be a catastrophe.

After Chen Ying left, Li Jiancheng was worried and discussed countermeasures with Zheng Guanyin.

There is a saying that cannibals are soft-mouthed and short-handed.Zheng Guanyin just won Chen Ying and offered a big gift, at least 30 yuan per year, which is enough to drive anyone crazy.Zheng Guanyin said: "What Chen Langjun said is right, it is better to act first, and then to suffer disaster. If Chen Langjun suffers today, and His Highness does not help, in time, who will be willing to work hard for His Highness under the gate of the East Palace?"

Chapter 70 Silence speaks louder here

Li Jiancheng remained silent, with no expression on his face.Zheng Guanyin was very anxious. Zheng Guanyin was worried that Chen Ying was not because of the affair between men and women, but because of huge interests.

It is said that Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the seven sects and five wangs of the Kanto, and a little money would not be able to impress her at all.But Chen Ying didn't make a move. Once he made a move, it was impossible to refuse.Taking the output of Lingzhou as an example, 18% of the members only have an annual income of at least 20 guan from iron ore. Adding salt and coal, the annual income will be at least [-] guan.

We must know that the value of copper coins in the Tang Dynasty is extremely high, if the copper coins are not too intuitive.If converted into the price of future generations, it must be frighteningly high.During the Zhenguan period, a bucket of rice was only sold for five renminbi, which was usually equivalent to a thousand copper coins. That is to say, you could buy two hundred buckets of rice. Generally, the price of rice is calculated at two yuan and five catties, which is equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 59, and 20 guan is equivalent to RMB 11 billion.

With a wealth of 11 billion yuan, it is estimated that few people will not be tempted. If they earn so much money every year, I am afraid that even the saint will become a slut in an instant.

Li Jiancheng didn't seem to see the anxiety in Zheng Guanyin's eyes. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "Guanyin, you come from a powerful family, so you naturally know the power of a powerful family!"

Zheng Guanyin sighed slightly: "It is precisely because I know that I feel a pity!"

"What a pity?" Li Jiancheng felt a little inexplicable, looked at Zheng Guanyin suspiciously and said, "What a pity!"

Zheng Guanyin reluctantly handed the three share contracts with body temperature to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng did not open them, but looked at Zheng Guanyin and said, "What are these?"

"Your Highness, if you open it and have a look, you will know?"

Zheng Guanyin was born in a powerful family and knew more about the horrors of the powerful.After Yang Guang's death, Emperor Yang Tong posthumously posthumously named Yang Guang as Emperor Ming, with the temple name Shizu, Xia Wang Dou Jiande posthumously posthumously named Emperor Min, and Li Yuan posthumously posthumously named Emperor Yang Guang.According to the Posthumous Posthumous Law, "If you are good at home and far away, you are called Yang Yang; if you go far away from the courtesy, you are called Yang Yang; if you go against the sky and abuse the people, you are called Yang Yang;

In other words, Yang Guang's infamy of "abusing the people against the sky, being heartless and ungrateful, leaving Germany and the country, being too big to govern, and being far away from the public" can no longer be escaped.

In fact, what kind of person is Yang Guang?Both Zheng Guanyin and Li Jiancheng knew very well that Yang Guang was not such a person in fact. First of all, he was a wise and promising monarch who reformed politics, strengthened imperial power, abolished the hereditary system of the nine ranks of Zhongzheng, and opened up courses to recruit scholars.

At the same time, Yang Guang was also a benevolent monarch. He made more criminal laws and abolished torture.There are five grades of criminal law, the first is death penalty, the second is exile, the third is imprisonment, the fourth is rod punishment, and the fifth is flogging.Other criminal laws such as abandonment of the city and castration are all abolished.He also promulgated the system of land equalization, implemented the system of transfer of nationality, and enriched the people and strengthened the army.

However, in fact, the Sui Dynasty died in the hands of Yang Guang II. This is an indisputable issue.No matter how much notoriety and criticism is added to Yang Guang, it is actually because of political needs.Yang Guang's most intuitive problem is that he offended the powerful people in the world, so the powerful people in the world turned against each other in groups. The 36th Road rebelled against the king, and the 72nd Road Dust and Smoke, almost all of them supported secretly, or directly threw their arms aside and went directly. .

The Sui Dynasty, which had millions of soldiers and spanned thousands of miles, collapsed overnight. This is not to say that the power of the clan is too great.
