Chapter forty-eight
Chapter 48: Different Taos and Do Not Make Scheme (One Update)
A banquet made Chen Ying finally see the clues of Cheng Zhijie. Originally, Chen Ying had never wanted to poach the corner of King Li Shimin. After all, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, and Xie Yingdeng were all Li Shimin's troops. Yuchi Gong was because he first defected to Li Jiancheng.
However, Cheng Zhijie never accepted the invitation from Chen Ying to Liangzhou, but drank a lot of wine and ate meat in large quantities. In just over a moment, he drank himself drunk. In order to prove that Cheng Zhijie was really drunk, he even ignored Qin Qiong's obstruction and insisted on appointing Li Jiancheng and making friends with Jinlan.
This made Li Jiancheng laugh and cry.
He is a prince, how could he have made a golden orchid with Cheng Zhijie? If it weren't for Chen Ying's two lifetimes, he might have let Cheng Zhijie get through. Seeing this scene, Chen Ying believed it even more, and the rumors were true.
In history, Cheng Zhijie was a Zhu Bajie-like figure. He was cheaper and he was avoided when he had difficulties. He was not snatching his hands, but he was still a veteran of the three dynasties.
I really couldn't stand the fact that a group of generals were drunk here, so Li Jiancheng drank a few drinks and left first on the excuse that there were important things in the palace.
Li Jiancheng left, and Wei Zheng left too.
When there were six people including Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong at the banquet, Chen Ying gently kicked Cheng Zhijie who was lying under the table and pretended to be dead: "Old Cheng, don't pretend, there are no outsiders now!"
Cheng Zhijie still snored like thunder.
Chen Yingchao Luo Shixin said: "Shixin, let Lao Chengxing sober up!"
Luo Shixin said: "I'll get some sobering soup..."
Chen Ying looked at Cheng Zhijie and said with a smile: "What kind of sobering soup is needed? The water in the autumn river is cold. Go and bring a bucket of river water. General Bao Zhuncheng will wake up immediately!"
Before Chen Ying finished speaking, Cheng Zhijie stood up slowly and picked up a jar of wine: "Drink,...drink, I can drink again..."
Qin Qiong said with a wry smile: "Old Cheng..."
Cheng Zhijie covered his head and said, "General Chen, I, Cheng, can't bear to drink, say goodbye first!"
"Stop pretending, I know you are not drunk!" Chen Ying said seriously: "We are all generals in the army and cannot play with the twists and turns in the court. To be honest, this time I go to Liangzhou, I need to fight with the Turks. General Cheng, General Qin, General Xie, General Niu, you four generals are the generals I respect. We have fought over the years, fighting over the years, and we are all fighting against our own people. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are all companions of the Chinese clan. Now the opportunity is right in front of us. We can fight against the Turks, and even have the opportunity to seal the wolf and the likes of Huo Piqiu."
Luo Shixin was the first to mutter: "Brother Chen, I don't care. I don't want to be the general of Zuo Wuhou. I want to lead the cavalry and kill the Turks."
Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong's eyes met in the air. Although Cheng Zhijie looked like a big and slutty man, in Qin Qiong's eyes, Cheng Zhijie was his dog-headed military advisor. When encountering difficult things, Qin Qiong relied on Cheng Zhijie to make decisions.
After a long time, the turbidity in Cheng Zhijie's eyes became clear.
In fact, Chen Ying hit Cheng Zhijie's weakness.
As a military general, who doesn’t want to be a wolf’s servant? This is the same as a civil servant, who joins the cabinet and is famous in history. This is the highest pursuit of every military general in his life.
Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said, "General Chen, Prince Chen, I, Cheng, have you appreciated your kindness, but I have my mother in the house, so I dare not stay away!"
Hearing this, Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh: "Cheng Zhijie, I really look down on you. What kind of demeanor do you have? I respect you as a man, but I didn't expect you to be a coward who is afraid of death!"
When Cheng Zhijie heard this, he was not as furious as Chen Ying imagined. Instead, Qin Qiong was so angry that his forehead was popping up, and he looked at Chen Ying with a gaze as if he was eating people.
Chen Ying seemed to have not seen Qin Qiong's anger and said to himself: "I understand, Cheng Zhijie, you were not afraid of death before because those who were barefoot were not afraid of wearing shoes. Since you came to Chang'an, you are now a noble person with houses, fields and industries. Your life is expensive, so of course you have to cherish it. It's a different way of doing things and not planning to each other..."
Luo Shixin came up again and he finished the fight. He said to Cheng Zhijie: "Brother Cheng, are you afraid of Luo Shixin? What are you afraid of? Don't worry about following General Chen to fight. You will never be defeated in the war. Don't worry!"
At this time, Cheng Zhijie was very confused.
Of course, he understood Chen Ying's intention, and did not want to make achievements. However, he could not let down the King of Qin's grace for him. King of Qin Li Shimin wooed them, spared no effort, and gave up his favor with the King of Qin. If, at this time, he followed Chen Ying to fight against the Turks, although he would win glory for the country, it would be a pity that he would let Li Shimin down.
Cheng Zhijie's face was gloomy and gloomy. After a long time, he sighed and said, "A real man does something, but he doesn't do anything!"
"Okay, the melon that is forced is not sweet!" Chen Ying sighed and said, "There are different things, don't plan for each other!"
Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie bowed their fists and left, and the banquet ended unhappily.
Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong walked out of Furong Garden, but did not leave. Instead, they stood by the Qujiang River outside Furong Garden. Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong were very confused about whether to make achievements or be loyal to the King of Qin.
Under the same sky, Chenjiabao in the Qinglin, Li Xiuning lazily lay on the soft couch, and she was also struggling at this time. The ones who knelt under Li Xiuning were the three daughters of Shentian Huayin, Xu Erniang, and Gao Wenjin. Li Xiuning was struggling about what kind of woman Chen Ying liked.
Of course, as a woman, I naturally hope that my husband will love him alone. However, as a dignified wife, I should be generous. For example, my mother, Empress Dou was extremely strict in taking Li Yuan during her lifetime. Although Li Yuan did not take a concubine, the relationship between them was not necessarily very good, but was more afraid than love.
Especially after Queen Dou's death, Li Yuan began to become Bengali. He took more than a hundred women in one breath, sang every night, and worked all night long.
Putting himself in his shoes, Li Xiuning was worried that once he learned from his mother, Chen Ying would probably be the second Li Yuan in the future. Of course, it was not that Chen Ying learned from Li Yuan to be the emperor, but that Li Yuan would learn from him without restraint and bring all the women of all people to home after he was a hundred years.
Li Xiuning was also very worried. Should she strictly discipline her or respect her?
She didn't know it before, but now she is very clear that Chen Ying did not like women. On the contrary, his needs were particularly strong and could be called excessive demands. If it weren't for the menstrual period, he would have been conquered almost every day, which made Li Xiuning a little unable to bear it. He Yue'er asked her to sleep on her, but He Yue'er still felt scared.
Now she is pregnant and cannot have sex for a year. If Chen Ying is allowed to restrain herself for a year, she is afraid that Chen Ying will be suffocated. Li Xiuning looked at Xu Erniang who is as gentle as jade, and then looked at the petite and delicate Shentian Huayin. As for Gao Wenjin, she was ignored by Li Xiuning because although Gao Wenjin was taken in by Chen Ying in the mansion, she had never had the reality of being a husband and wife. She is still a virgin now.
Li Xiuning was a female general who had led over 100,000 elite troops. Although she was just lying on the soft couch, she gave the three women a pressure to press the top of the mountain. They did not dare to show off, and looked at Mrs. Liang carefully with a look of hope.
Xu Erniang is Chen Ying's part-time concubine, which is what she knows about. However, Xu Erniang has followed Chen Ying for nearly three years, without a son or a half daughter, and is obviously just a hen who can't lay eggs. Li Xiuning is also very strange, Xu Erniang is very ordinary, only Shentian Huayin, which looks like I feel pity. Does Chen Ying like a woman like Shentian Huayin?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuning looked back at the four concubines around him. The youngest one was Fu Changle. She was originally the only son of Li Xiuning's eldest uncle Li Yanbo. Li Yanbo, who was the permanent attendant of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time, married his daughter to Gao Su, the king of Lanling, as his concubine. Gao Su, met Gao Su, the king of Lanling, and escaped. Gao married Fu Jieru, the son of Zhao County Prime Minister Fu Yan, as his wife, and gave birth to his daughter Fu Changle.
Li Yuan ascended the throne and sent to find the descendants of his elder brother Li Yanbo. Only then did he find Fu Changle, who was only twenty-two years old and unmarried yet. This is the only bloodline left by Li Yanbo in this world. How to arrange Fu Changle made Li Yuan embarrassed. First of all, the Fu family in Zhaojun is not a famous family. In this era when he was proud of his family's bloodline, if Li Yuan arranged Fu Changle as a princess or county lord and married a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be rewarded, but an insult.
However, Li Yuan was sad about marrying a poor family. After thinking about it, he finally decided to use Fu Changle as Li Xiuning's concubine and become Chen Ying's concubine.
But Fu Changle was not interested at all, but a little dull. She had been married to the Duke of Liang for more than three months, and she had never spoken to Chen Ying several times. This also made Li Xiuning feel embarrassed. Not only Fu Changle, but even Shan Rou, who is a dancer in the Jiaofangsi, is as good as her name. Her waist is as soft as a water snake, but Shan Rou did not get Chen Ying's favor.
Just as Li Xiuning was thinking about whether to send Wang Yue'er, one of his concubines, to Chen Yingfang to serve the bed, He Yue'er walked in like a gust of wind and said, "Princess, something big is not good..."
When Li Xiuning heard this, she frowned and waved her hand, signaling the other women to retreat.
When everyone saw this scene, they breathed a sigh of relief, and they all withdrew from the warm house as if they were given a general amnesty.
He Yue'er said: "Princess, I just got the news. The princess asked for an order to lead the army to support Liangzhou."
"Oh!" Li Xiuning was slightly stunned when he heard this: "What's going on in Liangzhou?"
He Yue'er said: "The Western Turkic commander Ye Hu Khan led tens of thousands of elite troops to attack Liangzhou. Liangzhou is now in danger. This move by the prince-consort is a dangerous move."
Just then, Li Xiuning suddenly said, "Cleaning up, let's go back to Chang'an now!"
"Return to Chang'an?" He Yue'er suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, princess enters the palace, please let Your Majesty get his life!"
