Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Ma Mengming went on to say: "Know people, face, but not heart, at this time, the Lord must be more careful!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Alright!"

……

In front of Ningyin Pavilion in Chang'an and Taiji Halls.Li Yuan took a hammer and tapped the ice in the lotus pond with great interest.Pei Ji said worriedly on the side: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Li Yuan knocked open a piece of ice, and not long after, the fish in the lotus pond poked their heads out.

Li Yuan pointed at the fish sticking out of the water and said with a smile: "I scolded Xiao Yu in the court hall, just like going to the ice surface of a lotus pond in a calm sea, just open a gap, it will be very lively!"

Pei Ji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yu has such a temper. Back then, he was demoted by Yang Guang to be the governor of Hechi because he didn't say anything against his will. What Xiao Yu said in the court yesterday was not bad. No remorse, his main force has indeed been cleaned up by the crown prince. He is now a loner, can he expect the five hundred pieces around him to be able to rebel? Really think our Tang court is a piece of paper!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Pei San, you still have the heart of the prime minister. To Li Yi, I believe in his loyalty, so I just beat him up. After more than two months of imprisonment, I think he should know the seriousness, so let the prince accept it." This favor."

Seeing Li Yuan's indifferent look, Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuan's murder of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong's death was also blamed on Li Yuan.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that without Li Yuan's acquiescence, the Dugu family would never dare to kill Wang Shichong, and would not be able to kill Wang Shichong.

If Luo Yi dies again, I'm afraid Du Fuwei won't be able to sit still.Du Fuwei was not the deadliest, but Chen Ying, the governor of the Western Regions, was the deadliest.

Li Yuan took out a silk book, handed it to Pei Ji, and said with a smile, "Pei San, come take a look at this first!"

Pei Ji looked at it, and said slightly surprised: "Chen Ying's badge?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Pei Ji read it carefully.

Li Yuan explained: "Chen Ying's plan is that the Western Regions are vast and boundless. It is inconvenient for the Western Regions to be governed by the Western Regions. town."

Pei Ji watched and praised: "This strategy is very good, it is a countermeasure to solve the Western Regions."

Li Yuan pondered and said: "I plan to use this to try the prince!"

Pei Ji laughed.

……

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng finished watching Chen Ying's playbook, closed the playbook, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then handed over the playbook to Wei Zheng, sighed and said, "Xuan Cheng, what do you think?"

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "I don't think it's important. Has His Highness the Crown Prince ever asked His Majesty's opinion on this matter?"

Li Jiancheng said in surprise: "Xuancheng, do you think His Majesty will disagree with the matter of the Western Regions?"

Wei Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "Exactly, His Majesty may not agree, or so, His Royal Highness must tell General Chen in secret, never return to Chang'an."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously and said, "Why?

Wei Zheng said: "If His Majesty directly agrees to this matter, it means that although he is wary of General Chen, the matter is not irreversible. If His Majesty rejects this proposal, something will happen to General Chen."

Li Jiancheng said anxiously: "Then why are you still standing there, send someone to notify Chen Ying!"

Wei Zheng turned to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, think about the predicament in front of you first. Since General Chen surrendered himself and asked to return to Chang'an, His Majesty will never deal with General Chen in Chang'an, otherwise Chang'an will become a den of dragons and tigers, and the border will be sealed off from now on." Senior official, who dares to return to Chang'an?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's right, it's just..."

Wei Zheng said anxiously: "His Royal Highness, there are two difficult things now. The New Year is approaching. Your Majesty and the King of Qin have the same mother and compatriots. Your Highness should write to His Majesty, requesting that the King of Qin return to Chang'an for the New Year!"

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this necessary?"

"Yes, very much!" Wei Zheng explained: "No matter how fiercely His Highness fought with the King of Qin, at least on the surface, he also showed a brotherly humility, even if it was only on the surface, he should maintain it. You can get His Majesty's support!"

Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you heard some rumors?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "What rumors can there be? It's just repeating the same old tune. King Qin is in the east of the river, and it's the time when the wind is booming. At this time, it's better to transfer the king of Qin back to Chang'an than to put him in the east of the river!"

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized: "Could it be that...Erlang...is really fighting...planning to separatize Hedong? Otherwise, he should submit a request to return to Beijing!"

"He will come back, but not now!" Wei Zheng said: "If the foundation is stable, he will definitely ask to come back. It's just that the time in Hedong is not ripe, so we can't let King Qin wish."

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "No matter what, he is still my second brother!"

"Since ancient times, the royal family has no family ties!" Wei Zheng said urgently: "His Royal Highness, don't forget that you are not alone. In the East Palace, thousands of lives are completely dependent on you alone!"

PS: I don't have enough energy today, so be it!

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

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

"General Chen's strategy is feasible!" Li Jiancheng reported to Li Yuan that Chen should split up the Imperial Guard of the Western Regions and set up the Imperial Guard of Anxi.Under the jurisdiction of the three towns of Tingzhou, Qiuci and Shule.

Li Yuan was a little surprised. It is said that Chen Ying is Li Jiancheng's disciple, and Li Jiancheng should raise objections to splitting Chen Ying's military power.Unexpectedly, until Li Jiancheng agreed, Li Yuan asked again: "The prince has no objection?"

Li Jiancheng bowed and said, "I do have some ideas, but they are not within this strategy.

Li Yuan asked curiously, "What's your opinion?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Your Majesty immediately ordered to remind Chen Ying to be vigilant against the Tubo people."

Li Yuan asked back: "Tuban?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "That's right, the Tubo people have been hostile to us for many years. Divide the Protectorate of the Western Regions into three towns, if the three towns are not affiliated with each other and do not help each other, it is easy to be defeated by the Tubo people..."

Li Yuan nodded.

Li Jiancheng said: "Although there is a melee in Tubo, there are more than two million Tubo people, divided into five "Ru". In a different place, the Hebei rebellion has been put down. The Turkic people can't steal chickens and lose money. According to their nature, they must reverse the situation somewhere. Although they may not dare to attack Hedong and Longxi immediately, they may definitely attack Youzhou. The knife was used as revenge, so in the next period of time, our military center of gravity in the Tang Dynasty will move northward, especially when the army of Jiannan Road is transferred to the north, it is very likely that the Tubo people will take advantage of the opportunity to enter!"

Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and Feng Deyi who were discussing at the side of the court became serious.

Feng Deyi looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness means..."

Li Jiancheng said: "Now the initiative is in the hands of the Tibetans and the Turks, and our Tang Dynasty is very passive!"

Having said that, Li Jiancheng turned around and gave Li Yuan a deep quiz, saying, "A thousand days of guarding against thieves will eventually lead to a failure. Therefore, I believe that our Tang Dynasty should take the initiative to solve the East Turkic issue once and for all!"

Li Yuan nodded, but did not comment.Turning to look at Xiao Yu, he said, "Xiao Xiangguo, how much surplus will our treasury have next year? Can it support the supply of 20 horses next year?"

Fighting the Turks was a national war, and the Tang Dynasty needed to dispatch at least three marching commanders, half of the elites of the Tang Dynasty, plus civilian husbands, and 20 horses and horses to prepare food, which is actually less.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd. He said: "Your Majesty, the Shangyuan Festival is approaching. Officials at all levels need rewards. The army of twelve guards, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, where is there any money left in the treasury?" What a surplus!"

There is no money in the treasury, so there is no way to fight this battle. Li Yuan sighed and said, "We will discuss this matter later!"

Li Jiancheng said again: "Your Majesty, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and the Qin army leader is out of the town at the east of the river, and cannot serve His Majesty. My son, I request that Your Majesty allow the King of Qin to return to Beijing!"

Now, Li Yuan was even more surprised.When Li Shimin left the town of Hedong, he was trapped in Hedong, and he did not pose any threat to Li Jiancheng's crown prince. No matter how unwilling Li Shimin was, he could only accept his fate.You can't control the court situation.But as long as you return to Beijing, it will be different.
