Chapter 84: Abolish the Prince and Replace the King of Qin
Kaimingfang Kaimingfang during the Tang Dynasty was approximately the same as the financial and economic campus of Xi'an Jiaotong University in later generations. During the Tang Dynasty, it was a civilian area, or a untouchable area. People living here were either poor or poor, and the environment was poor. There were also large areas of wild bamboo forests.
When he walked into Kaimingfang, Chen Ying frowned unconsciously. The air was filled with a strong smell of feces. From time to time, he saw animal feces and garbage on the road. It was already March. If the weather was hotter, it would be so smelly that it would not be possible to enter.
Chen Ying also wanted to follow Xu Erniang in, but the ceremonial guards of the Marquis of Wugong were quit. They did not follow Chen Ying to have dinner, but were temporarily hired, commonly known as temporary workers. For the sake of decent, these people bought new clothes and shoes. If they stepped on a pile of rotten dog shit, it would not be easy to wash off the odor on the clothes in the era without laundry detergent. Once the odor was full of stench and could not be removed, it would be difficult for them to take on the job.
Seeing Lao Zhou being pulled by the guards of honor, Chen Ying also felt angry. Chen Ying found that it was an absolute mistake to use a group of temporary workers as the guards of Wugong Hou.
He glared at Lao Zhou fiercely, and Chen Ying said unhappily: "Check the bill with them and let them all get out."
Old Zhou stood there embarrassedly, and Chen Yingze blushed and held an apologetic smile at Xu Erniang.
This is really a pretentious person who is fucked instead.
Fortunately, Xu Erniang didn't care about Chen Ying's embarrassment and went straight to Yizhushe.
Chen Ying looked at the simple bamboo house in surprise and asked incrediblely: "Happy Jingzong lives here?"
Xu Erniang nodded and said, "I actually don't have a house in my family. I let my clan brother live in the store, but my clan brother doesn't want to..."
"Why are you really having trouble!"
Chen Ying looked at the bamboo house with air leakage on all sides. I am afraid that a Turkic herdsman's broken tent would be better than this bamboo house to keep warm. It is already March now, but the late spring cold at night is also uncomfortable.
Chen Yingzhu took more than ten steps and smelled a sour smell that made people vomit. He opened the door and found Xu Jingzong lying on the wooden bed with his disheveled head and dirty face, sleeping soundly.
Chen Ying shook his head and sighed, asking Lao Zhou to rent a car and take Xu Jingzong back to Chen's mansion.
However, what disappointed Chen Ying was that in a poor place in Kaimingfang, there was no place to rent a cart, and he had no place to use money. In desperation, Lao Zhou only rented a deer cart. The so-called deer cart is actually a wheelbarrow. The car face is narrow and only accommodates a deer. Of course, if you carry a man, it is barely enough.
One of the eighteen scholars of the Qin King's Mansion, Xu Jingzong, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was pulled from Kaimingfang to Wugong Hou Mansion from Bojixiang, Yanfufang like a dead pig.
Seeing Chen Ying pulling Xu Jingzong back with a disheveled head and dirty face, before he had time to bathe and change his clothes for Xu Jingzong, Si Yan reported to Chen Ying: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please invite him!"
Chen Ying quickly asked Lao Zhou to put on Chen Ying's carriage and headed towards the East Palace.
When he arrived at the East Palace, Chen Ying finally found something was wrong. Not only was there the crown prince Li Jiancheng, but Li Jiancheng's core confidant, Wang Gui, consulting and joining the army. If the East Palace is compared to a small court, consulting and joining the army is equivalent to the prime minister. At the same time, Wang Gui is also the first official in the East Palace.
The second is Li Yuan. Li Yuan is Li Jiancheng's cousin, Li Yuan's cousin, and the minister of the Ministry of Justice. Although Li Yuan does not have a minister under the Eastern Palace, he has a very good relationship with Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng asked him to help when he planned to kill Li Shimin. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin summoned him to the capital. He thought the matter was exposed, so he discussed rebellion with his colleague and relative Wang Junkuo, and was strangled to death by Wang Junkuo.
The third one is Wei Ting, who also had close personal relationships with Li Jiancheng. At this time, he was appointed as the Cavalry of the Left Guard of the Eastern Palace, equivalent to the Minister of War of the Small Court of the Eastern Palace.
The fourth one is Feng Li, General of the Eastern Palace's Yiwei.
The fifth one is actually Chen Ying's acquaintance, Wei Zheng. According to the original history, Wei Zheng entered the Mudong Palace in the fourth year of Wude and washed his horse 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 for Li Mi.
Wei Zheng's most outstanding thing was that the Tang Dynasty debated the civil and military officials in the Ganlu Palace speechlessly. Wei Zheng said to Li Yuan: "Wei Zheng, the account room of Wei Gong, paid a visit to the lord of the Tang Kingdom!" Xiao Yu and Xiao Shiwen said, "The envoy is rude, the king of a small country, and the minister of a big country, this is the system of Spring and Autumn. The Tang Dynasty is a great country in the world, and the noble Li Mi, but only a prince in the separatist area. Even if Li Mi comes in person to pay his respects to Your Majesty, he will still perform great rituals, let alone the minister of a small country, and he still entrusted himself with great power. Why?"
Wei Zheng immediately quoted Zhang from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Northern Wei Dynasty, claiming that Li Yuan and Li Mi went out to one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty together, and that even Li Yuan could do nothing. Of course, this debate did not change anything, but Wei Zheng's sharp eloquence won the love of Li Jiancheng.
At this time, the Zuo Wei of the East Palace led Yang Wengan. Seeing this cheating product, Chen Ying instantly wanted to kill Li Jiancheng for him, but Chen Ying saw that Li Jiancheng looked gloomy.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince," Chen Ying looked at everyone frowning and asked with confusion: "I wonder what is important to summon your highness to summon him?"
Wei Ting was very dissatisfied with Chen Ying. The Eastern Palace was in a high position, not rich or noble. Even the new Xima Weizheng who entered the Eastern Palace was also from a noble family in Shandong. Only Chen Ying was born in a humble family, which made Wei Ting very angry.
Wei Ting said impatiently: "The eldest son of the King of Qin was born, and Your Majesty gave him the name Chengqian!"
Seeing Chen Ying didn't feel strange, Wei Ting thought Chen Ying didn't understand the meaning of these two words. In fact, Chen Ying didn't understand, but he understood too much. Li Chengqian was very famous in later generations because Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought against him, and finally got the advantage of Li Jin King Li Zhi. If Li Shimin's eldest son was not Li Chengqian, Chen Ying would feel strange.
Wang Gui, the consultant, said: "Inheriting the imperial career and leading the world, Your Majesty's heart is obvious."
Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "The Minister of the Shang Dynasty, Liu Gongwenjing, wants to join forces with Guangluqing, Duke Xing, Li Mi, Minister of War, Duke Jiang, Duke Qu Tutong, Secretary-General, Duke Feng Lun and other ministers jointly wrote a letter to His Majesty, deposed the crown prince and changed the King of Qin."
Hearing this, Chen Ying laughed and said, "Liu Wenjing is so confused that she is not divided between inside and outside! He does not unite with all the ministers to have the King of Qin. It is still unknown whether the King of Qin can be the crown prince, but if he does this, he can help the crown prince a great favor..."
"It's not enough to make a fool of yourself, it's simply nonsense!" Wei Tingdang retorted: "Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the history of your highness, and now you are missing an opportunity. If Liu Wenjing writes a letter and hits your Majesty's thoughts, you..."
Chen Yingli ignored Wei Ting and interrupted Wei Ting directly and arrogantly said, "You have lived to be a dog over the years!"
"You..." Wei Ting was furious, his beard shook with anger.
Even Li Jiancheng's face changed drastically: "Chen Ying, you are too reckless. I think you are young and ignorant and don't have the same knowledge as you, so why don't you apologize to Wei Piqi!"
Chen Yingdao said bluntly: "Your Highness, I just want to scold him. If you are foolish and corrupt scholars, how can you assist Your Highness in achieving great achievements?"
Wei Ting's forehead raised blue veins and pointed at Chen Yinglian and said, "You, you..." He didn't say a word for a long time.
