Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

"It's such an important matter for a woman to give birth, just say that you have a stomachache that is unbearable!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Won't this be a lie?"

At this moment, He Yue'er bowed and said: "A middle-ranking official outside the mansion came to issue the decree!"

Chen Ying asked suspiciously: "It shouldn't be, now the crown prince's enthronement ceremony must not end so soon!"

He Yue'er said: "It seems to be the eunuch of Ganlu Palace!"

Chen Yingdao: "Please come in!"

Not long after, an eunuch came to the inner hall, coughed and said, "Princess Pingyang accepts the order!"

Li Xiuning and Chen Ying quickly stood up.

The little eunuch said in a melodious manner: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: Since ancient times, the emperor has established the pole and governed the Huan area, and must establish the Yuan Chu and Maolong state foundation, so that the Mianzong society will be boundless. Respectful. Look up to the ancestor Mo Lie and Zhao Chuan. The entrustment is the most important. Cheng Yanqing, Duanzai Yuanliang. The first daughter Xiuning, Ribiao Yingqi, beautiful in talent, pure in nature, and obedient to public opinion. I would like to tell the world and the ancestral temple , Sheji. On the [-]th day of the first month of the seventh year of Wude, Xiuning was awarded the golden book of life treasure, and she was established as the empress dowager. She was in the West Palace, commanded the three provinces with the order of the minister, and commanded the army and horses of the world with the help of the general. All over the world, conquer those who are not ministers..."

Hearing this, Li Xiuning and Chen Ying's expressions changed drastically.

After Chen Ying pushed Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning finally reacted.

Li Xiuning held the imperial decree, looked at Li Yuan's familiar handwriting, and murmured, "Chen Lang, what should I do?"

Chen Yingdao: "Follow the imperial edict!"

After the little eunuch left, Li Xiuning fell down on the bed with tears in her eyes.

When Li Xiuning saw this, how could he not know that Li Yuan still didn't want to delegate power? He used this method to replace Li Shimin with Li Xiuning to balance Li Jiancheng.

Li Xiuning got up angrily, walked to the candlestick with the imperial decree, and was about to light it.

Chen Ying stepped forward and grabbed the imperial decree.

Li Xiuning said angrily: "Do you really want me to be the empress dowager?"

"Whether it's appropriate or not is one thing, but this imperial decree must be kept!" Chen Ying said solemnly: "Keep it in case of emergencies!"

"But... just in case!" It's not that Li Xiuning doesn't understand politics, once Li Jiancheng learns of the existence of such an imperial decree, she and Chen Ying will be thorns in Li Jiancheng's eyes and flesh!

Chen Ying hurriedly explained: "It must be kept!"

There are some words that Chen Ying has no way to explain to Li Xiuning.

In the history of the Xuanwumen Incident in the ninth year of Wude, when the blood was still wet, the East Turkic Jieli Khan led more than [-] cavalry soldiers all the way into Guanzhong and killed Chang'an City, forcing Li Shimin to sign the Weishui alliance.This was also the first unequal treaty signed by Li Shimin that humiliated the country, but four years later, Li Shimin wiped out the Eastern Turks.

However, looking through the history books, it is not difficult to see that there are actually certain objective factors that caused the first shame of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Wude, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the tax in Guanzhong was only [-]% of the usual.Wude was even worse in eight years, only receiving less than [-]%.In the ninth year of Wude, until June, there was no rain in Guanzhong, not to mention tax collection, even the common people needed state relief.

Food supply has always been the lifeblood of farming peoples during their expeditions beyond the Great Wall. Most of the frontiers are barren lands. The food produced is not enough for the local people, let alone provide for the army. Every grain of rice and every piece of cloth needed by the army , have to be transported within the customs.

From the mainland to the frontier, it is more than a thousand miles away. The manpower required to transport grain for thousands of miles is unimaginable, and the consumption halfway is also unimaginable. The treasury allocates 50 shi of grain, and finally transports 40 to the border. Thank God for Shi, where did the other [-] Shi go?All eaten on the way!In addition, officials at all levels are greedy for ink, and the consumption is even more astonishing. Therefore, when an army of [-] goes out for an expedition, hundreds of thousands of civilians are often required to transport food, water, and weapons behind, otherwise the battle will be impossible to fight. It is also doomed that every expedition cannot last.

Historically, even though there are still 10,000+ fierce elites at the border, there is still no way to stop the torrent of Eastern Turkic cavalry. If there is no food, the army that can fight is also for nothing.

Li Shimin was able to force Li Yuan to abdicate, in fact, part of the reason was that Li Yuan made Guan Zhongmin's life difficult, and the people had a fresh sense of expectation for Li Shimin's change of emperor.

However, although Chen Ying knew about the imminent crisis in Tang Dynasty, he didn't know whether Li Jiancheng could survive it.

Will Li Jiancheng listen to Chen Ying's opinion? After all, Wei Zheng also persuaded Li Jiancheng to kill the King of Qin in history, but Li Jiancheng did not kill him, but fell short.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying's resolute attitude, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

Chen Ying explained with a smile: "This is a thought of His Majesty, and it is also the confidence to live. Do you want to disappoint His Majesty?"

Li Xiuning said anxiously, "But..."

At this moment, Li Xiuning's face changed drastically, she stretched out her hands to cover her stomach and shouted, "It hurts...it hurts, I'm about to give birth!"

Chen Ying immediately shouted: "Come on, please be steady!"

……

The convoy moved forward slowly, and Li Shimin, who was dressed as a bodyguard, ran to the side of the road suddenly, reaching out to dig into the ground that was frozen as hard as iron. After a while, Li Shimin's hands were dripping with blood, and finally Li Shimin took out a piece of hard soil and put it in his arms.

Looking in the direction of Chang'an City in the distance, he shouted towards the wilderness: "I... Li... Shi... Min... will come back!"

"Get out of the way... get out of the way!" Xu Erniang rushed towards the delivery room with a basin of hot water in her hands.

Chen Ying was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Li Jiancheng was also in a hurry to get angry, and the princess and Zheng Guanyin, who had just been promoted to empress, were fidgeting together.

"Chen Lang...Chen Lang" Hearing Li Xiuning's miserable screams in the delivery room, Chen Ying couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the delivery room.

But before running two steps, Li Jiancheng grabbed Chen Ying tightly, and Chen Ying struggled desperately, but he didn't realize that Li Jiancheng's strength was stronger than he imagined.

No matter how hard he tried, Chen Ying couldn't break free.Chen Ying was very anxious. The last time Li Xiuning had a difficult labor, it was thanks to Sun Simiao who performed cesarean section on her in an emergency.

However, at this time Sun Simiao was not in Chang'an, nor in Guanzhong. It is said that he went to Shuzhong to meet an old friend half a month ago, but he couldn't be found for a while.

Without Sun Simao present, Chen Ying would have no idea.

Zheng Guanyin looked at Chen Ying and said, "This is not the place you men should go to, you should go to my palace! In terms of childbirth experience, those stable women are really not as good as my palace!"

Zheng Guanyin gave birth to six children to Li Jiancheng, all of whom were born smoothly, which is rare luck in this era.

Zheng Guanyin entered the delivery room, and Li Jiancheng pulled Chen Ying, afraid that he would rush into the delivery room if he could not see him at a glance.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said, "Don't worry, Sanniangji people have their own aura!"

Chen Ying couldn't listen to Li Jiancheng's words at all, and looked in the direction of the delivery room without blinking.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said, "I heard that the Changsun family and Li Chengqian are in your house!"

"I didn't hear that!" Chen Ying said solemnly: "Your Majesty, they are at my mansion. From that night on, not only the Princess Qin, but also the Crown Princess and Princess Qi were all at my mansion. Your Majesty, do you know what it is?" Is there a reason?"

Wei Ting said: "Chen Concubine, although you are a relative of the emperor, you can't ignore the laws of the country. The abolition of King Qin conspired against him, and now he has disappeared without a trace. According to the regulations, the abolition of Princess Qin and Li Chengqian must obey the law..."

Before Wei Ting could finish speaking, Chen Ying shouted coldly: "Shut up, it's none of your business here!"

"You..." Chen Ying was in a bad mood, seeing Wei Ting pointing his finger at him, Chen Ying casually grabbed Wei Ting's finger and broke it hard.There was a muffled click, and Wei Ting's face twitched in pain.

Wei Ting was about to open his mouth to scream, Chen Ying pulled out the horizontal knife and prepared Wei Ting's mouth.
