Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Xiuning held a towel made of cotton cloth, gently dried Chen Ying's body, and slowly put on clothes for Chen Ying.Chen Ying changed into a pajamas made of cotton cloth.

Li Xiuning touched the soft cotton cloth and said: "This cotton is woven into thread and cloth. The effect is not bad. It is smooth and flat, strong and flexible, and it is not easy to get dirty. It breathes well and absorbs sweat. It is cool in summer and warm in winter." .”

Chen Yingdao: "Of course the fabric is good. I hope that all military uniforms will be made of hemp and silk in the future. It's just a pity. For the time being, cotton production is mainly made of bedding."

At this moment, Li Xiuning took out a secret letter, handed it to Chen Ying and said, "Chen Lang, take a look at this."

Chen Ying glanced at it, took it but did not open the secret letter, he sighed and said, "San Niang, are you still worried about Chang'an?"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "The palm of the hand is flesh, the back of the hand is flesh..."

Chen Ying sighed, pointed to the ceiling and said, "The root cause of the conflict between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin is not with them, but with the top. There is no way to reconcile it!"

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said: "I also know, but the confrontation between Erlang and eldest brother is getting more and more serious. Now eldest brother has people impeach Du Yan for embezzling people's land, and the evil servant beats people up. (now Xichang, Sichuan). Erlang also launched a counterattack, dealing with Donggong counseling to join the army, Prince Zhongyun Wanggui... Now the most urgent task is how to explain to the eldest brother and Erlang..."

"Explain?" Chen Ying smiled wryly, "How to explain? How can we calm down the chaos?"

"This..." Li Xiuning was speechless for a moment.

Chen Ying sighed and said, "I'm afraid, this matter will not be so simple!"

In terms of politics, although Chen Ying is a rookie.But after all these years in the officialdom, even stones should be enlightened.What's more, Chen Ying is not stupid.

Chen Ying flipped through the recent secret reports, and slowly found the crux of the problem.Li Jiancheng wrote to Li Yuanyi "Please set up a memorial to the four schools".Li Jiancheng wrote in the memorial: "Self-victorious people are strong. The way of self-improvement lies in the accumulation of talents. To accumulate talents, we must first set up schools and cultivate talents. The way to seek talents is to establish four schools first, and cultivate people. Like a tree, one year later in school, one year later in talent..."

Seeing this, Chen Ying roughly guessed Li Jiancheng's intentions.

The prerequisite for establishing education, especially government schools, is to prepare for the great revitalization of the imperial examination system.However, once the imperial examination system is implemented and the examination system is opened to select scholars, it will mean that the family politics since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties will come to an end.

Of course, the imperial examination system was not created by Li Jiancheng. To be precise, it should have been created by Yang Jian and carried forward by Yang Guang.However, the aristocratic clan saw Yang Sui's determination to eradicate the aristocratic families, so these aristocratic clansmen began to stir up trouble for their own interests.

Under the counterattack of the entire aristocratic class, Yang Guang failed. As the so-called winner and loser, Yang Guang not only died, but was nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

But right now, Li Jiancheng is doing it very cleverly.

He first released a huge smoke screen to intensify the dispute between the crown prince and the King of Qin, thereby attracting the attention of the whole world with the dispute in the East Palace, and prepared to establish the Four Schools in a silent way.In prefectures and counties, the four disciplines of religion, law, medicine, and martial arts were established publicly, and began to cultivate talents from poor families.In this way, after a few years, when the bachelors of the four disciplines have grown up, at this time, Li Jiancheng will be able to win undefeated if he breaks his face with the aristocratic family.

After all, the imperial examination system benefits the interests of scholars all over the world, especially the interests of poor scholars.For their own benefit, these humble scholars will definitely stand on Li Jiancheng's side.

Seeing this, Chen Ying took this memorandum, looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Do you know who is behind the crown prince's plan?"

Chen Ying has knowledge that surpasses the common people for nearly a thousand years, so he naturally knows that the existence of aristocratic clans is already a cancer in the world.However, this malignant tumor has already formed a climate, and Yang Guang wants to change this miserable circle, so he expanded the policy of only 12 candidates in the imperial examination during Yang Jian's period, and developed the imperial examination system on a large scale.

Li Jiancheng himself was born in a powerful family. Standing in Li Jiancheng's position, he would definitely not take the act of knocking down a powerful family rashly.Looking at Li Jiancheng's previous actions in Chang'an or Shoubian, I am afraid that Li Jiancheng should have such a profound insight into the imperial examination system that there should be another expert behind the scenes.

Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's Wei Zheng, Wei Xuancheng..."

"Wei Zheng." Chen Ying smacked his lips lightly. Even those who don't know the history of the early Tang Dynasty should have heard the story of Li Shimin and Wei Zheng. You can remonstrate to Li Jiancheng that the world must be peaceful, and the King of Qin must be killed first. It is conceivable that Wei Zheng is also a person who uses unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.

Not only did Wei Zheng hide this plan from most of the aristocratic families, but he also almost hid it from Chen Ying.

If Chen Ying hadn't stood on the shoulders of a historical giant, he might have been fooled by Wei Zheng's plan to build a plank road and cross Chen Cang secretly.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying complainingly and said, "What time is this, you still read jokes!"

"It's not a joke, but we've all been cheated!" Chen Ying suddenly had an idea when he said this.With Fang Du's ability, he might easily see through Wei Zheng's intentions. After all, Fang Du's judgment is not in vain.However, the status of the two in Li Shimin's heart was finally not as good as that of Changsun Wuji.

In case Li Shimin was seen through by Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui and tried to persuade Li Shimin not to fall for it, Wei Zheng's plan would be difficult to implement.

However, Changsun Wuji is different.He had suffered too much in the Western Regions and was very angry with Chen Ying.

If he is free, Changsun Wuji will definitely persuade Li Shimin to increase the scope of attack, thus escalating the dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng again.

At this time, the more intense the dispute between Li Erlang and Li Dalang, the greater the benefits to Datang. As long as Datang completes the system of shifting from aristocratic politics to imperial examinations, Datang's even greater internal friction can be alleviated.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said: "Sanniang, you said that Changsun Wuji is in the Western Regions, would it be too cruel for Princess Qin?"

Li Xiuning said: "Chen Lang, what are you thinking?"

Chen Yingdao: "I want to let Changsun Wuji go back!"

Li Xiuning's face suddenly changed upon hearing this: "How is this possible?"

The conflict between Changsun Wuji and Chen Ying could no longer be reconciled. Under this circumstance, once Changsun Wuji got out of trouble, he would definitely take revenge on Chen Ying!

But in this situation, Chen Ying was not afraid of revenge from Changsun Wuji.If a general has no enemies, or in another way, no one can check and balance, then this general will be really dangerous.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Man is a very strange animal!" Chen Ying said with a soft smile: "If you stare at him, he will hate you, if you slap him, he will hate you very much, but once you make him worse When you die, when you doubt life, he will be very afraid of you, if I let Changsun Wuji repay the territory, he will never betray me!"

Li Xiuning naturally didn't believe Chen Ying's ridiculous point of view.But in order to save Chen Ying's face, Li Xiuning didn't say anything.Instead, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Are you going to deal with Changsun Wuji? Take his son secretly as a hostage?"

Chen Ying shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "Family relationship can only be bound. Ordinary people like you and me, especially Changsun Wuji, don't care about their offspring. For the sake of profit, he will not hesitate to target You, using the direction of assassinating you, forcing the prince to make concessions, no matter what means you use, how can such a hero care about mere descendants!"

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying more curiously and said, "How can you ensure that Changsun Wuji won't turn back?"

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and asked, "Actually, it's very simple. You know the beasts like falcons, right?"

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "Of course I know, eagles are fierce by nature, wild and unruly!"

"Changsun Wuji is not actually a hero, at best he is just a falcon!" Chen Ying smiled confidently: "Now, we just want to get rid of Changsun Wuji's temperament, as long as his temper is smoothed, he Will be honest and obedient!"

In fact, as the eldest grandson Wuji, Chen Ying had no way to fight him. Once the wounded eldest grandson Wuji appeared in Chang'an, or died, Chen Ying would not be able to explain.Chen Ying had no objection to killing Changsun Wuji, but Chen Ying would not do such a stupid thing as letting Chen Ying be buried with Changsun Wuji.

Human life is always more precious than the life of a dog.

Chen Ying has seen a lot of TV and movies about torture in later generations, and knows that there is a kind of punishment, just like boiling an eagle, which uses mental torture to destroy the suspect's psychological defense.It is also called "boiling the eagle" to make the suspect unable to sleep for several days in a row to achieve the effect of interrogation.Of course, this is an illegal and criminal act of extorting confessions by torture, which has been strictly prohibited by the laws of our country.

However, it is undeniable that this is indeed a very effective means of boiling eagles.

Time is very precious to Chen Ying.Thinking of this, Chen Ying put on his cloak, took Zhou Qing, Ashina Simo and a team of guards, and headed for the Changshi Mansion, the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Mulan City.

It is said to be Changshi's Mansion, but it is actually a small courtyard with two entrances, covering an area of ​​less than one mu. For Changsun Wuji, it is extremely shabby.

Hearing hurried footsteps outside the door, Changsun Wuji and Ye Zhiqiu woke up suddenly.

The two of them didn't even have time to finish dressing. They saw Chen Ying leading a group of brightly armored soldiers and pushing the door open.Changsun Wuji let out a cry of surprise, and shrank back to the bed.

Chen Ying ignored Changsun Wuji's retreat, but looked at Changsun Wuji indifferently and said, "Changsun Wuji, you always want to kill me, isn't it good that we don't cross the river?"

"No... I... General Chen, you misunderstood!" Changsun Wuji explained incoherently while trembling: "I can swear to God, I have absolutely no intention of becoming an enemy of General Chen, and I don't know Which bastard is it... The bastard is secretly slandering and slandering me. General Chen and I are related. A plan to divide..."

Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "Okay, they are all foxes of a thousand years old, don't play Liao Zhai in front of me! Now, we can play a game, as long as you survive ten days, I will let you go back!"

"Do you dare to let me go back alive?" Changsun Wuji looked at Chen Ying with some surprise, he couldn't believe that Chen Ying would make such a stupid move.Although Changsun Wuji thinks he is not a good person, he definitely repays kindness and avenges revenge.What Chen Ying imposed on himself was not only hatred, but also a great shame and humiliation. If he does not avenge this hatred, he vows not to be a human being.
