Chapter 74: Behind the Scenes

Li Yuan had good physical fitness, and had not had a knife. He went through several battles overnight until the sky was dawn. Li Yuan fell asleep deeply. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty did not have to go to court every day, so Li Yuan slept until he woke up naturally. When Li Yuan woke up from his sleep, the sun had already begun to go west.

Concubine Yin De, who was nourished overnight, looked even more charming and charming.

Looking at Yin Defei's delicate and smooth skin, Li Yuan's heart was rippling. Fortunately, Li Yuan knew that young people were rude and elderly people were rude. Although beauties were good, they should not be greedy. They suppressed the evil fire in their bodies. Under the service of Yin Defei, Li Yuan slowly wore a narrow robe. The narrow robe was the casual clothes that the emperor usually did when he sat and watched things. When Yin Defei put a flat crown on Li Yuan, Li Yuan happily looked at the camera and deliberately posed a majestic posture.

The flat crown is a high front and a high back, which symbolizes the highest and supreme emperor's ambition; the crown has a hang to cover it up, which means that the king does not regard evil or wrong. The pearls and jade on both sides indicate that it is used to fill the ears, which symbolizes the emperor's intention to not listen to slander. In short, it is hoped that the emperor will not respect the greatness, do not regard evil or slander, and seek great virtue.

Originally, Li Yuan was preparing to meet the court officials and discuss the countermeasures in Jinzhou. However, when Li Yuan walked to Ganlu Hall with a big chariot, he suddenly found that there was a person kneeling outside the hall. At this time, the man was already drowsy. Li Yuan looked at it and found that this person was no one else, but his cousin Li Daoxing, Guangning County.

Li Yuan ordered Yulu to stop, then walked to Li Daoxing on the pedal.

Just when Li Daoxing was confused, he suddenly found a pair of black boots in front of him, with grass dragon patterns embroidered on them. As a royal family, Li Daoxing naturally knew that in this palace, there were only two people qualified to wear such standard boots, Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan. However, Li Jiancheng was different. Li Jiancheng's feet were thinner than Li Yuan, while Li Yuan's feet were fat. There was a clear difference between the two.

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

Li Daoxing was really tough. When he saw Li Yuan, he opened his mouth and said, "Please be fair to me!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Daoxing calmly and said lightly: "Have you knelt enough?"

Li Daoxing continued: "Please uphold justice for your ministers!"

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

Li Daoxing struggled, but his lower body and legs were already numb and he was not obedient at all. Li Daoxing's brain used force, but his body did not obey his orders at all. His legs became weak, and his body fell forward, almost falling a dog to bite the mud. However, Ma Shaohong was quick-eyed and his hands were fast, not like an elderly eunuch, who dragged Li Daoxing up with his body.

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

Li Yuan said: "Whatever you want to do, the royal family has lost all the face!"

Li Daoxing said cleanly and neatly: "Please be fair to me and kill the murderer who assassinated my brother!"

At this moment, Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin joined forces. However, Li Jiancheng's serious illness had not been cured, his face looked extremely pale, while Li Shimin's face was full of redness.

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

Li Daoxing replied without thinking: "I have investigated. The assassin who assassined his brother used arrows to make the Tang army weapon prison, and the number of people who took over the batch was Chen Ying, the general manager of Lingzhou."

Li Jiancheng did not defend Chen Ying. In fact, he was also the suspect involved. It would be fine if he didn't defend himself. As long as he spoke, he would definitely be a bad debt.

But the young and energetic Li Shimin did not have as many concerns as Li Jiancheng: "Brother Daoxing, you are really confused and can't make sense."

"What does it mean to be inconsiderate!" Li Daoxing saw that Li Shimin also covered Chen Ying, his face looked very ugly, and he did not give Li Shimin any face: "My brother was ordered to observe the army in Lingzhou. Chen Ying was worried that the matter would be leaked, so he killed his brother in Gaoping. This is the motive. The arrows led by Chen Ying were left on the scene. This is physical evidence. The plateau was far away from Lingzhou. Chen Ying was assassinated in Gaoping, which was just enough to clear his suspicion. Moreover, when the surviving guards heard that when the assassin was assassinated, the dialect used in Shizhou was Shizhou dialect. Looking at Guanzhong, only the right guards were established, and the two prefectures and one prefecture were established. The motives, physical evidence, and human evidence were there. What was there to make sense?"

Li Shimin looked gentle and angry, and said unhappy: "Just with Shizhou accent, do you dare to conclude that the assassin came from the right guard and led the army?"

Li Daoxing said: "This is natural."

Li Shimin said: "The person who has a Shizhou accent may not be the one who is led by the Right Guard"

Li Daoxing's face turned red and shouted in a low voice: "What benefits does Chen Ying give you? Do you speak for him everywhere?"

"You are confused and can you blame others? As the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, you can do nothing, make friends with dogs, be unprofitable, and be slutty. The only thing is that you cannot be stupid enough to be a gunman for others!" Li Shimin shouted sternly: "General Chen is extremely strict in his military governance. Looking at the twelve guards, no army can be stricter than the right guard's leadership. Do you have to admit this?"

Li Daoxing twisted his head and said, "What is this?"

"Of course not count!" Li Shimin continued: "General Chen Ying is known as strict in governing the army. The combat effectiveness of the army's soldiers is so strong that even the Turks retreat. Moreover, there are more than 50 assassins this time. When they deal with an unprepared guard, they actually left more than twenty corpses when they were equally large. This combat power is too weak, right? These assassins Kong Wu may have said that they are powerful, but they cannot cooperate in the process and lose their ability to advance and retreat. General Chen defeated the Turks for four consecutive battles and killed Shibi Khan. Is this kind of army that he relied on?

Li Daoxing coughed lightly and said: Where is there a black sheep? Chen Yingzhi's army is strict, but there are one or two cunning people in the army of thousands. It is not surprising that there are casual people?

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "That would be even more unreasonable. Assassinating the founding Duke of the Tang Dynasty. Such a big deal is that he is not an elite army and a close confidant. He must be beaten with one blow. He is as quiet as a virgin and as if he is moving as a rabbit. General Chen sent more than fifty wastes. Brother Daoxing, who can believe this after saying this?"

Li Yuan smiled faintly: "If I really deal with Chen Ying, the person who is most happy is not you, but the mastermind behind the scenes."

Li Yuan paused, looked at Li Shimin and said, "Erlang, then come to see you, what kind of god is behind the scenes?"

Li Shimin said: "Chen Ying is in charge of the military affairs of the six states. Who is the most uneasy?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Li Daoxing said: "Natural Turkic people?"

At this moment, Yu Yanzhang, the general of the right prison guard, suddenly handed a secret letter to Li Yuan. In fact, Li Yuan did not think too much about Chen Ying, but when he saw the secret report, he was furious.

Chen Ying secretly entered Chang'an. He went to the prince's mansion to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible. Even if Li Daozong was assassinated, he wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Yuan family's forces. However, Chen Ying actually secretly came to Chang'an City.

If Chen Ying is not guilty, then he doesn't have to come to Chang'an secretly. Coming to Chang'an means Chen Ying is guilty. A guilty general is somewhat tricky. Now the confidant general of Prince Li Jiancheng has stolen back to Chang'an from the border, and Li Yuan has to make the worst plan.

Looking at Li Shimin, Li Yuan suddenly said, "Erlang, if Dingyuan Army rebelled in Lingzhou, how sure are you to win?"

Li Shimin was shocked. He had carefully analyzed the detailed information about Chen Yingsi fighting against the Turks, and deduced it on the sand table. Finally, he found that Chen Ying was a general who was very good at grasping the fighter. Whether it was Ashin Ilvalifer or Ashin Ilva, they were not unfair to defeat them.

Even Master Liang wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to attack Lingzhou, but Chen Ying was plotted against him. Even on days like New Year's Eve, Chen Ying would not relax his vigilance, which shows Chen Ying's prudence and meticulousness. It is best not to be hostile to such people, otherwise it would be very difficult to deal with.

At this time, Li Shimin was confused. Chen Ying was now defeated by the Turks, and Li Yuan was not reluctant to reward him. The most important thing was that he directly refused to recruit Liang Shidu and scolded the Minister of Liang Shidu to death. It can be said that Chen Ying had blocked the road between the Turks and Liang Shidu at this time. Now he rebelled, he was simply seeking death.
