Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

"Your Royal Highness, you also know that I only had four thousand soldiers at the time, and it was very difficult to resist the Turkic army of more than two hundred thousand. What's more, the merit of killing the Turkic Khan is too great, and I have selfishness. I just let it go and acquiesced. This matter!" Chen Yingdao: "I didn't even mention this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and asked Her Royal Highness to cover up one or two things for Ying, and Chen Ying should act like a horse to repay the princess for her great efforts!"

Chen Ying dared to tell Li Xiuning like this, so he was naturally not afraid of Li Xiuning and Li Yuan going to verify it.Including Ashina Simo, they all swear allegiance to Chen Ying, and there is no problem at all for them to give a false testimony.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying suspiciously and said, "But... what does this have to do with whether you go to Jinzhou or not?"

"Problem? It's a big problem!" Chen Ying's voice suddenly rose an octave: "I...in fact, I also have selfish intentions. I had a relationship with Qi Lifu in private. As long as I don't expose his plot to kill his brother and usurp the throne, he Promise to Chen that he will not attack Lingzhou. Now the one who is preparing to attack Jinzhou is Ashina Doubi, his younger brother Ashina. Aggressively attacking the ministers at all costs, not only will Jinzhou be in danger, it will not be relieved, and it will also exhaust the army and lose troops!"

When Li Xiuning heard this, she fell silent immediately.As long as Chen Ying is dead, Li Fushe will naturally not keep his promise to a dead person. As long as he storms Lingzhou, not only Jinzhou will be dangerous, but Lingzhou will definitely not be able to keep.

Chen Ying naturally knew that Li Yuanji, relying on his identity as the fourth son of the emperor, was doing something wrong in Jinyang, which caused great anger and hatred among others.Even if he is killed, he is not willing to go into this muddy water.

No matter what happened to this Li Yuanji, he was also the younger brother of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and his relationship was inseparable. Not to mention that even if Chen Ying was replaced by Pei Ji, he would have nothing to do with Li Yuanji.In case Li Yuanji's donkey temper came up and he was forced to go one-on-one with Turkic Ashina, Li Yuanji was really capable of doing this.

Moreover, Li Yuanji lost Jinyang because Liu Wuzhou led [-] cavalry to Huangsheling, and Li Yuanji sent chariot and cavalry general Zhang Da to lead [-] infantry to test first.Zhang Da thought there were too few people, so he insisted not to go.Li Yuanji dispatched them by force, but they were killed as soon as they arrived at Huangsheling.Zhang Da was angry and angry, so he served as Liu Wuzhou's guide and conquered Yuci County, advancing on Bingzhou.

General Cheqi was the second rank of generals in the Western Han Dynasty, second to Taiwei and General, and the second person in the real power army.Although when it came to the Tang Dynasty, the chariot general was only a standing general of the fourth rank, but Li Yuanji forced a general at the rank of the army to lead a hundred soldiers to be the commander of the reconnaissance company, which is definitely not human.

Li Xiuning fell silent, frowning.

Chen Ying stepped forward and said cautiously: "Actually, the danger of Jinyang seems to be dangerous, but it is actually nothing to worry about!"

"Oh!" Li Xiuning asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

"Without him!" Chen Yingdao: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the general manager of Jinyang, is too young to be convincing to the masses. If an old minister with heavy burdens goes to control the army, with Jinyang's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, dozens The food accumulated by Wanshi, and the popular support of Datang in Jinyang, will surely keep Jinyang as solid as gold."

……

At the same time, in the Ganlu Hall, an old eunuch with white temples but no beard carefully lit sandalwood for Li Yuan.This eunuch is called Ma Shaohong, and now he lives in the official residence and serves as a servant in the province.Recently, Li Yuan's sleep quality is not good, and he often wakes up in nightmares.Ma Shaohong was anxious to see it, so he asked the imperial doctor to prepare a new type of sandalwood, and specially added a little medicine to calm the nerves and refresh the mind in the sandalwood.

About half an hour later, Li Yuan was drowsy.Ma Shaohong walked up to Li Yuan and was trying to persuade Li Yuan to rest, but he found that Li Yuan's eyes were shining brightly.

Ma Shaohong was slightly surprised, opened his mouth, but finally closed it.However, Ma Shaohong's every move can be seen by Li Yuan.Li Yuan said: "You old bastard, speak up when you have something to say, and let go of farts if you have to!"

It was the 13th year when Ma Shaohong entered the palace, and it is almost 30 years now. After four emperors, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Yang You, and Li Yuan, Ma Shaohong is not the only favorite of the holy family, but he is also the emperor. Heart.

Seeing Li Yuan getting angry, Ma Shaohong said: "Nowadays there is a rumor suddenly appearing in Chang'an City, and the words are so eloquent. Ao Nu thinks that His Majesty still needs to know!"

"Oh!" A trace of surprise flashed between Li Yuan's brows. He used the left prison guard to monitor Chang'an. He should have known about any rumors, but he let an insider know in advance.Li Yuan said: "What rumor?"

Ma Shaohong bowed and said, "It's about Chen, the general manager of Lingzhou!"

In fact, Li Yuan had heard of these so-called rumors.The general meaning is that Chen Ying, the new general manager of Lingzhou, was originally the No. 20 son of Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, whose real name was Chen Chuo.Yang Jian destroyed Chen, and Chen Shubao was captured and imprisoned in Luoyang.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he gradually relaxed his vigilance against Chen Shubao. Even Chen Qian, the fifth son of Chen Shubao, the king of the South China Sea, was appointed by Yang Guang as Zhuoling.The sixth son, Xinyi Wang Chen Zhi, is the master of the great cause.The seventh son, Chen Jing, King of Shaoling, is in the midst of a great cause, and he is the son of the state and the prime minister.The eighth son, Kuaiji King Chenzhuang, is in the midst of a great cause and is the order of Changlong.The nine sons, Dongyang Wang Chen Yun, are in the great cause and are Tong Yilang.The tenth son, Chen Fan, king of Wujun, is in the midst of a great cause and is the magistrate of Rencheng.

The twentieth son, Chen Chuo, finally escaped from Luoyang, where Chen Shubao was detained, under the support of Chen Shubao's half-brother Chen Shuda. Finally, Chen Chuo escaped from birth under the protection of his trusted family members and soldiers, and fled to Chang'an, where he took refuge in Suzhou. In the guard house, he grew up under the cover of being a domestic slave.

This statement is very decent. From the perspective of age, Chen Shubao died in the fourth year of Renshou (AD 604). Yang Jian died of illness in this year. Before and after this, Yang Guang's main energy was on winning the throne.And Chen Ying looks sixteen or seventeen years old this year, but according to the exact information from Su Hu’s mansion, Chen Ying was born in the first year of Renshou (AD 601), that is to say, Chen Ying’s real age is eighteen years old now. It just looks smaller because of fair skin.It is indeed possible to say that Chen Ying is Chen Chuo, the son of Empress Chen.

Coupled with the fact that Chen Ying had the power to organize the army in Jingyang, Jingwu, and his ability to quell the chaos in neighboring enterprises and assist Lingzhou, these are definitely not things that an ordinary servant can do, so this rumor Although it has only recently emerged, as time goes by, it has already spread a lot.

If this news was in Yang Guang's time, Yang Guang wouldn't take it to heart at all.Now in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan is even less of a concern. In person, if Chen Ying is really Chen Shubao's son, he can take advantage of it. In the future, Datang will recover Jiangnan, let Chen Ying go out in command, or accompany the army to comfort the people in Jiangnan.

"It's nonsense, don't pay attention to it!" Li Yuan sneered: "Chen has been dead for 30 years, even if Chen Shubao is alive, what effect can it play?"

Ma Shaohong smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave is just a joke. In fact, it is not worth checking these things. Now this Chen Shuda is in Chang'an, serving as the servant of the Huangmen. He is the person involved. You can tell if the matter is true or not. .”

Li Yuan nodded: "It's night, let's rest!"

Just then, footsteps sounded.A young eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Guangning County is here to see you!"

The king of Guangning County is the title of Li Daoxing. Like Li Daozong, he is the grandson of Li Yuan's fourth uncle Li Zhang.He can also be regarded as Li Yuan's cousin.

Li Yuan naturally knew what Li Daoxing wanted to do, so he said without a doubt: "No see!"

The little eunuch said again: "The King of Guangning said that if His Majesty doesn't see him, he will kneel and die outside the palace!"

"Hmph, if you want to kneel, let him kneel!" Li Yuan said with a flick of his sleeves, "Get up and go to Concubine Yin De."

Chapter 74 Behind the Scenes

Li Yuan was in good physical condition, his treasured sword was not yet in use, and he went through several conquests overnight, until the sky became light, and Li Yuan fell into a deep sleep.Fortunately, Datang didn't have to go to court every day, and Li Yuan slept until he woke up naturally. When Li Yuan woke up from his sleep, the sun had already begun to set to the west.

Concubine Yin De, who had been nourished overnight by Li Yuan, looked even more charming.

Looking at Concubine Yin De's delicate and smooth skin, which seemed to be broken by a finger, Li Yuan's heart fluttered for a while.Fortunately, Li Yuan knows very well that young people can reboot from sex, but old people can reboot.Although beautiful women are good, don't be too greedy.Forcibly suppressing the evil fire in his body, Li Yuan, under the service of Concubine Yin De, slowly put on the narrow robe, which is the casual clothes that the emperor usually wears when he sits and watches things.When Concubine Yin De put on the Tianping crown for Li Yuan, Li Yuan still looked at the camera happily, deliberately posing a majestic posture.

The crown of the sky is flat, the front is low and the rear is high, which symbolizes the supreme emperor's downward ambition; the crown has a hanging sill to conceal the light, which means that the king does not see evil or wrong.The pearls and jade on both sides indicate that they are used to fill ears, symbolizing the emperor's disobedience to slander.In short, it is hoped that the emperor will not respect the great, not see evil, not listen to slander, and seek good things such as virtue.

Originally, Li Yuan was going to meet courtiers to discuss how to deal with Jinzhou's encounter.However, when Li Yuan walked to the Ganlu Hall in a big driving jade, he suddenly found a person kneeling outside the hall, and this person was already drowsy.Li Yuan took a closer look and realized that this person was none other than his cousin Li Daoxing from Guangning county.

Li Yuan ordered Yuren to stop, then stepped on the pedal and walked to Li Daoxing's side.

Just when Li Daoxing was in a daze, he suddenly found a pair of black boots in front of him, with grass dragon patterns embroidered on them. As a child of the royal family, Li Daoxing naturally knew that in this palace, only the Two people, Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan.But Li Jiancheng is different. Li Jiancheng's feet are thinner and longer than Li Yuan's, but Li Yuan's feet are fat. There is an obvious difference between the two.

Li Daoxing looked up along the boots, and sure enough, he saw Li Yuan's face covered with gullies, and Li Yuan's gray beard fluttering in the wind.

Li Daoxing was really stubborn, when he saw Li Yuan opened his mouth, he said: "Your Majesty, please uphold justice for my minister!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Daoxing calmly and said indifferently: "Have you kneeled enough?"

Li Daoxing continued: "Your Majesty, please uphold justice for the minister!"

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Get up, come in and talk!"

Li Daoxing struggled to get up, but his lower body and legs were already numb, and he couldn't listen to him at all.Li Daoxing's brain exerted strength, but his body didn't listen to him at all, his legs gave way, and his body fell forward, almost falling into the mud.But Ma Shaohong has quick eyesight and quick hands, he doesn't look like an old eunuch at all, dragging Li Daoxing up with his body.

Ma Shaohong almost carried Li Daoxing slowly into the Ganlu Hall, Li Yuan's face became more and more gloomy, and Li Daoxing, who was sitting on the lower brocade pier, couldn't guess what Li Yuan was thinking.

Li Yuan said: "What are you going to do, the royal family will lose all face!"

Li Daoxing said cleanly: "Your Majesty, please uphold justice for the minister and punish the murderer who assassinated my brother!"

At this moment, Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin joined hands.It's just that Li Jiancheng was still seriously ill and his face was extremely pale, while Li Shimin's face was full of red.

Li Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "Murderer, who is the murderer?"

Li Daoxing replied without thinking: "I have already investigated it. The assassin who assassinated my brother used the arrow made by the Datang Army Supervision, and the person who received the batch number was Chen Ying, the chief of Lingzhou."

Li Jiancheng did not defend Chen Ying. In fact, he was also a suspect involved in the incident.

But the young and energetic Li Shimin didn't have as many worries as Li Jiancheng: "My dear brother Daoxing, you are really confused and can't make sense."

"What's unreasonable!" Li Daoxing saw that Li Shimin was also shielding Chen Ying, his face was very ugly, and he didn't show any face to Li Shimin, saying: "My brother was ordered to watch the army in Lingzhou, and Chen Ying was worried that the matter would be leaked, so he killed his brother in Gaoping. This is the motive. , the arrow led by Chen Ying was left at the scene, which is the physical evidence. The plateau is far away from Lingzhou, and Chen Ying stabbed at the high level, which can just remove his suspicion, and the surviving guards heard that when the assassin assassinated, the dialect used was the beginning. State dialect, if you look at Guanzhong, the soldiers from Shizhou, only the right guard led the second mansion and the first mansion, and the motivation, physical evidence, and personal evidence are all there, what is there to say?"

Li Shimin's face was warm and angry, and he said displeasedly: "Just based on Shizhou's accent, do you dare to conclude that the assassin came from the army led by Youwei?"

Li Daoxing said: "This is natural."
