The fifth one was actually Chen Ying's acquaintance, Wei Zheng.According to the original history, Wei Zheng entered the Mudong Palace in the fourth year of Wude to wash horses for the prince.However, because of Chen Ying's appearance, Wei Zheng, as Li Mi's special envoy, went to Chang'an to discuss surrender matters for Li Mi.

The most brilliant thing about Wei Zheng is that the admiral of the Palace of Ganlu was speechless in the debate on the civil and military affairs of the Tang and Manchu dynasties.Wei Zheng opened his mouth to Li Yuan and said, "Wei Zheng, the clerk under Wei Gong's account, pays his respects to the Lord of the Tang Kingdom!" It is a big country in the world, and you are honored by Li Mi, but it is only the ear of the princes who ruled the place; even if Li Mi came to visit His Majesty in person, he still had to pay respects to the monarch and his ministers, not to mention that you are a minister of a small country, and you still entrust yourself to the big, what is the reason?"

Wei Zheng immediately quoted chapters and references, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Northern Wei Dynasty, claiming that Li Yuan and Li Mi came from one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, and they should be treated equally, even Li Yuan had no choice.Of course, this debate did not change anything, but Wei Zheng's sharp eloquence won the favor of Li Jiancheng.

At this time, the East Palace still had Zuo Wei leading Yang Wengan. Seeing this scam, Chen Ying immediately wanted to kill him for Li Jiancheng, but Chen Ying saw Li Jiancheng's gloomy face.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Ying looked at the faces of the crowd, and asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder what is the important thing for His Highness to call you?"

Wei Ting was very dissatisfied with Chen Ying, the courtiers of the Eastern Palace sitting here were very important, neither rich nor noble, even Wei Zheng, the newcomer to the Eastern Palace, was from Shandong aristocrats.Only Chen Ying came from a humble background, which annoyed Wei Ting very much.

Wei Ting said impatiently: "Prince Qin's eldest son was born, His Majesty bestowed the name Chengqian!"

Seeing Chen Ying didn't feel strange, Wei Ting thought that Chen Ying didn't understand the meaning of these two words.In fact, it's not that Chen Ying doesn't understand, but understands too well.Li Chengqian is very famous in later generations, because Li Chengqian fought with Li Tai, and finally took advantage of the little Jin Wang Li Zhi.If Li Shimin's eldest son was not Li Chengqian, Chen Ying would feel strange.

Wang Gui, who consulted and joined the army, said: "Inheriting the imperial career and leading the universe, His Majesty's heart is clearly revealed."

Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "The right servant of Shangshu shot Liu Gong Wenjing, and he wanted to unite with Chaozhong Guang Luqing, Xing Guogong Li Mi, Minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong, Secretary Supervisor, Consort Duwei Feng Lun and other ministers to jointly write a letter to His Majesty. Prince, change to King Qin."

Hearing this, Chen Ying laughed loudly and said: "Liu Wenjing is old and confused, he doesn't distinguish between the inside and the outside! He doesn't unite with the ministers to own the King of Qin. Whether the King of Qin will be the crown prince is unknown, but he can help His Royal Highness is doing a great favor..."

"Zhuzi is not a conspiracy, it's just nonsense!" Wei Tingdang retorted: "Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with His Highness for a long time, and now there is an opportunity missing. If Liu Wenjing writes a letter, it will hit His Majesty's arms, you..."

Chen Yingli also ignored Wei Ting, and directly interrupted Wei Ting arrogantly: "You have lived like a dog all these years!"

"You..." Wei Ting was furious, his beard trembling with anger.

Even Li Jiancheng's face changed drastically: "Chen Ying, you are too reckless. I think you are young and ignorant, and you don't have the same knowledge as you. Hurry up and apologize to Wei Huanqi!"

Chen Yingdao said unceremoniously: "Your Highness, I just want to wake him up. If you are stupid and ruthless, how can you help Your Highness achieve great things?"

Wei Ting had bulging veins on his forehead, pointed at Chen Yinglian and said, "You, you..." He didn't say a word for a long time.

However, Chen Ying said solemnly: "The matter is already obvious. How can His Majesty be someone who can be easily influenced by others? Besides, Liu Wenjing was originally the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, and his status in the court was second only to Pei Ji, but he In the middle of the court, the wings are full, and the disciples and old officials are all over the court and the public. Chang'an's family and officials know it well. This Lu Guogong is very important. However, it is good that he does not contact Li Mi, Qu Tutong, Feng Lun and others. Once he unites All the ministers jointly wrote the letter, not only will the king of Qin have no chance with Dabao, but even he himself will die, and the disaster will not be far away..."

Chapter 85 Calculating Liu Wenjing

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng, but saw that Li Jiancheng was not smiling, and he was noncommittal.Wang Gui and Li Yuan exchanged glances, but they didn't know what kind of conspiracy they were plotting.

Feng Li, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the show, with a relaxed expression on his face.

As for Wei Ting, he changed his face.His face was white for a while, red for a while, and turned purple for a while...

Looking at the people present, Chen Ying felt endless sadness and helplessness in his heart.Who are the people in the small imperial court of the Eastern Palace?Li Jiancheng's character weakness can be seen from the employment of people. All the subordinates in the East Palace, except Wei Chen and Chen Ying, almost all of them have extremely close personal relationships with Li Jiancheng.However, Li Jiancheng's subordinates are much worse than the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace in terms of vision and structure.

In the pre-Sui period, Yang Guang established a political faction spanning both civil and military classes by virtue of his great military achievements in expelling the Turks in the north and destroying Chen in the south, thus defeating Yang Yong and seizing the throne.As the so-called teacher who never forgets the past, Li Yuan will never repeat the mistakes of the previous Sui Dynasty.

In fact, Li Yuan's thoughts were not difficult to guess, he just didn't want to hand over the emperor's rights so early, so a powerful prince was not what Li Yuan wanted to see at all.Of course, a Li Shimin who can completely defeat Li Jiancheng and has countless military exploits makes Li Yuan worry that Li Shimin will be another Yang Guang.

In fact, even if Li Shimin bribed Li Jiancheng's confidant Donggong Zuowei to lead Yang Wenqian, Li Jiancheng was charged with treason, but in that case, Li Yuan still had no intention of abolishing the prince and replacing him with the king of Qin.

In fact, without Li Shimin, Li Yuan would also carry other princes.During the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, Li Yuan was a referee, and when he saw who was weak, he would sidestep the fight.

Last time, because the Turks threatened Li Yuan, Li Yuan planned to use Chen Ying as an abandoned son to calm the anger of the Turks. Li Jiancheng mobilized the officials of the Eastern Palace faction to break the bowl with Li Yuan.Although Li Yuan failed in the end, the estrangement between Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's father and son arose.

The disheartened Li Jiancheng got a heart disease and pushed away all the big and small things in the court. In this case, Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to rise in the court.Naturally, Li Yuan wouldn't mind having Li Shimin divide Li Jiancheng's power. It was Li Yuan's original intention to use King Qin to check and balance Li Jiancheng.

However, out of Li Yuan's instinct, he absolutely didn't want Li Jiancheng to be suppressed just now, and then a political force stronger than Li Jiancheng rose up here.

Liu Wenjing was so confused that it was a god-sent opportunity at this time, but seeing the attitudes of Li Jiancheng and the officials in the East Palace, Chen Ying was nothing but disappointed.

Chen Ying frowned. It was obviously not a wise move to part ways with Li Jiancheng at this time. Although Li Jiancheng's East Palace was sluggish, and Li Jiancheng's enemy was the wise and wise Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng had a righteous name after all, and There is no shortage of capable ministers and officials in the East Palace.

At least before the Xuanwu Gate, Wei Zheng had repeatedly responded to Li Jiancheng that if he wanted the world to have long-term peace and stability, he must first kill King Qin.It is a pity that Li Jiancheng did not adopt Wei Zheng's opinion. If Li Jiancheng could make good use of these people, he might be able to reverse the decline.Li Gang, Wei Zheng, and Wang Gui are all national scholars, and Xue Wanche and Feng Li are also generals.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying still decided to treat himself as a living horse doctor, and quietly tried to ask: "His Royal Highness, I don't know if I should say something or not!"

"When did you become timid in front of me and dare not speak?" Li Jiancheng asked strangely.

Chen Ying cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty named the eldest son of King Qin Chengqian. As long as the news spreads, there will be many traitors in the court, and they will flock to him. At this time, fighting with King Qin is afraid of delaying the common people's society. Therefore, I advise the prince to avoid the sharp edge for now!"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered, and he looked at Wang Gui.Youyou said with a smile: "I also know this truth, so why not let Liu Wenjing turn black and white, pointing at a deer as a horse?"

"How do you know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse?" Chen Yingdao: "I heard that there is a six-foot alley in Feng County, and it was a good story for a while!"

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Six Foot Alley, why is this?"

"It is said that the former Suizhou prefect Zhu Seng Ning's mansion was adjacent to Zhang Zheng's ancestral house in Feng County. There was a gap between Zhu's family and it was always used as a passageway. Later, Zhang Zheng wanted to build a house and wanted to occupy it across the border. Zhu's family refused to accept it. Both sides When a dispute occurred, they sued the county government. Because the two families were both prominent and distinguished families, the county magistrate was in a dilemma and could not decide for a long time. Zhu Sengning's family saw that there was no reason to dispute, so they sent a letter to Zhu Sengning to tell Zhu Sengning about the matter. After Zhu Sengning read it, he thought the matter was simple, so he picked up his pen and ink, and wrote four poems on his family letter: "A piece of paper is only for the wall, so it doesn't matter if it is three feet.The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen. "

The Zhu family felt deeply guilty when they got the poem, and they gave up the three-foot foundation without hesitation. Seeing this, the Zhang family felt that the Zhu family was powerful and powerful, but did not bully others. .A six-foot-wide alleyway was formed, which was named "Six Foot Alley".The comity of the two families has also been passed down as a good talk. "

Li Jiancheng stepped forward and pointed at Chen Ying, laughing loudly: "I have heard about Zhu Sengning, and he is a shepherd, and he is honest, but I have never heard of it. This Zhu Sengning has such a poetic talent... "

"Also... Who is this guy, but I have never heard of it." Wang Gui stepped forward to make up the knife without hesitation.

When Chen Ying heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.The rumor of Six Foot Alley may have existed in history, but I vaguely remember that it should be a story from the Qing Dynasty.Chen Ying painted a ladle according to the gourd, but he didn't expect to be exposed on the spot.

Li Jiancheng walked up to Chen Ying and said, "Mencius said: When a ruler treats his ministers like brothers and feet, he will treat him like his heart; if he treats his ministers like dogs and horses, he will treat him like a countryman; The minister regards the king as an enemy. If you and I are a king and a minister, can't Chen Qing open his heart?"

When Chen Ying saw that Wei Zheng's eyes were cramping, he suddenly realized that Li Jiancheng pretended to be like this on purpose, especially Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Feng Li, and Li Yuan were all cooperating with Li Jiancheng in acting, the purpose was just to test his own experience.

Chen Ying wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and realized that Li Jiancheng had already seen this situation, not because he couldn't see it.

Wang Gui smiled slightly and said: "General Chen is quick-witted and decisive, and has extraordinary insight, which can be of great use!"

Li Yuan cupped his hands and said to Li Jiancheng: "Liu Wenjing presents such a great gift, if His Highness refuses to accept it, it would be unreasonable!"

Especially the four words "unreasonable" are murderous.

However, Chen Ying also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, unknowingly, he actually entered the list of the heart of the East Palace.

Li Jiancheng sighed softly and said, "People have no intention of hurting others, but tigers have the intention of hurting others."

While Chen Ying was stunned, all the officials of the Eastern Palace discussed a way to cheat Liu Wenjing.

Chen Ying secretly thought that Liu Wenjing might be dreaming of supporting Li Shimin as the crown prince at this time, but he didn't know that disaster was imminent.

Chapter 86 Poetry in Four Steps Chen Wugong

Li Jiancheng lowered his tone, and someone else will naturally do the rest.At this time, Chen Ying became an outsider instead.Li Jiancheng is going to use his own way to repay him.Mobilize all the personnel, either overt or covert, except for some key members of the Eastern Palace's direct lineage, and prepare to discuss Liu Wenjing's abolition of the crown prince and the replacement of the king of Qin.

Chen Ying already understood at this time that as long as Liu Wenjing dismissed Li Yuan as the crown prince, more than [-]% of the court officials from the fifth rank and above would second the proposal.

With Li Yuan's suspicious nature, he naturally thought that Li Shimin's power had surpassed that of Li Jiancheng. At this time, Li Yuan would definitely be biased, and it might not be too much to suppress the Qin Palace. The family property is gone, and the family is wiped out.

For Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Feng Li, Li Yuan and others, whether it is Wei Zheng or Chen Ying, they are always "outsiders". Chen Ying also does not have the habit of sticking his face to others' cold ass. Chen Ying looks at Wei Zheng. He walked over with an embarrassed face, and said in a embarrassed manner: "Wei Xima, you are not very kind, we are acquaintances after all, you just watch Chen fall into the pit they set up and remain indifferent? Couldn't you... "

"Shut up!" Wei Zheng was suddenly furious, pointed at Chen Ying and said, "Although you and I know each other, we have some friendship, Wei Xuancheng is first and foremost an upright scholar, how can you let Yu Xuancheng be injustice?"
