Chapter 154: Li Xiuning in Change

Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief. The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is like a child's pitiful self-esteem. If it is touched, it will affect the whole body.

Although Li Yuan did not deal with Li Jiancheng because of the Yang Wengan case, Li Jiancheng became the target of public criticism. The argument of advocating the abolition of the crown prince and replacing the King of Qin also had a big market in the court.

Especially those officials who do not have much sense of existence usually want to use this method to show their presence. Anyway, they are now sitting on the bench, and the worst result is to be dismissal. In this era, few officials have to live on their salary. They all come from wealthy families, and they live with those salary, and the same is true if they don’t have those salary.

Although they have certain risks in doing this, they are sure that Li Jiancheng is not a petty person, which is what is called honest people are easy to bully.

During this period, Pei Ji received no less than twenty letters every day, and the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng took the blame and avoided the throne according to the story, and closed the door to express his gratitude in the Eastern Palace. However, the Tang Dynasty was different from other dynasties. The founding emperors of all dynasties were full of energy and the emperor personally did it. Even if the prince did not handle government affairs, they would not fail to repair government affairs. Now, Li Yuan has always liked to drink and have fun, and government affairs are left to Li Jiancheng to take care of. Li Jiancheng no longer does anything, which made Pei Ji worried.

Although Li Yuan kept these bulletins that impeached Li Jiancheng and did not send them out, these officials became more and more excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. In desperation, Pei Ji had to promote Liu Deyu to the Minister of Dali Temple, and Quan Wanji was transferred to the position of the Censor of the Secretariat.

However, neither of them thanked the East Palace, which made people misunderstood that Liu Deyu and Quan Wanji were promoted because they changed their ranks. People in the officialdom have never lacked hope. Some people impeached the prince's subordinates for illegal crimes, corruption, bribery and various crimes in order to gain the merits of the Dragon.

The prince was impeached and could not be in charge of the director, and Li Yuan had no energy to take care of it. There were too many abandoned government pragmatism, and Pei Ji was in trouble. He knew the nature of this good friend.

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The literati are so gentle, but when they reach the extreme, they become hypocritical. Pei Ji has no choice but to accompany the king like a tiger. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Therefore, although Li Yuan cares about him very much, even the emperor's daughter does not avoid him, and even competes with Pei Ji for male heroism.

However, Pei Ji also knew the duty of being a minister.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Let Pingyang take his eldest son to the Western Regions, that's it! Maybe at this time next year, I can have another grandson!"

Not to mention that Li Xiuning will be in the Western Regions in the Swallow Winter son with his young son, but as long as the news spreads, inside and outside the court, as well as the entire army, no one will think that Li Yuan is skeptical of Chen Ying! All the generals on the front line will be grateful to Li Yuan! And the voices of the deposed prince and reincarnated the King of Qin also disappeared.

Don’t talk about Chen Ying himself as well--even if he really wants to rebel, it’s probably difficult to touch his subordinates!

Pei Ji was slightly moved and excitedly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Yuan sighed and said, "There are rumors in the world that I am suspicious and cannot tolerate the deaths of meritorious ministers, Xue Renguo, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, etc. They are all counted on me. There may be trustworthy people in this world, but it's a pity that I know that it is definitely not them!"

Pei Ji said: "Your Majesty, why bother with these scattered words? Rumors stop at the wise!"

Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji and said solemnly: "Everyone in the world said that being a minister is a taboo for being a minister, but this is nonsense. It is a matter of merit and demerit, and it is false. However, there are only incompetent kings in this world, and no ministers who are a master with a master without merit."

The secret meeting between the monarch and his minister was soon spread through various channels.

...

When the news reached Qin King Li Shimin. In addition to laughing bitterly, Li Shimin was the most angry. Li Shimin sighed and said, "Father still doesn't believe in this palace!"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Your Highness has nothing to do with trust. The emperor uses people to check and balance. People without checks and balances should not be reused. Your Majesty uses your Highness to check and balance the prince, but he will not sit idly by and watch the prince fall!"

"Then my father asked Princess Pingyang to go to the Western Regions without Pingyang checking and balancing Chen Ying. What's the reason?" Li Shimin suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. Princess Pingyang is in Chang'an, and she is far away from Chen Ying, who is far away in the Western Regions. On the contrary, Pingyang can only more effectively balancing Chen Ying when she arrives in the Western Regions!"

Fang Xuanling said: "What Your Highness said is extremely true. Chen Ying dared to learn from Li Mi, kill his wife first, and then rebel. If so, I am afraid that no one will follow his troops to rebel!"

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "This is the most profound power struggle!"

Li Shimin nodded and had to admit that Li Yuan was very tempted by this trick. Li Yuan had a very profound power trick and was the most powerful method. Li Shimin believed that when Li Xiuning brought his son Chen Qian to Chen Ying, even if Li Yuan asked Chen Ying to die, Chen Ying would not have any words. When the news spread throughout the Western Regions, even if Chen Ying really wanted to rebel, he would probably not follow him.

The same news came to Li Jiancheng's ears. What Li Jiancheng saw was a bright and upright Li Yuan. He believed that Li Yuan's trust and care for the frontline soldiers were sincere.

When the news reached Chenjiabao, Li Xiuning said with a roar: "I'll inform you, we'll set off!"

He Yue'er said in embarrassment: "Now?"

"Yes!" Li Xiuning said: "Give you half a day to prepare. We will go to Chang'an at noon today. I will enter the palace to visit my father and the prince's brother. Then we will leave Chang'an and travel west!"

He Yue'er smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, Princess, you don't know. It's already September. Although it's not snowing heavily in Chang'an, you can go out of Guanzhong. I'm afraid it's snowing. We are not afraid of being more bitter, but the little husband..."

Li Xiuning said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? There is a stove in my carriage. The fire is not extinguished along the way, and it is as warm as spring. Besides, as a man, he is afraid of something to suffer. Don't say anything more. Prepare some and prepare more supplies, and let's go to the Western Regions! By the way, let Xu Erniang and Shentian Huayin, let them go together!"

With Li Xiuning's order, the entire Princess's Mansion of Pingyang Mansion and the Duke Liang Mansion began to run rapidly. Xu Erniang and Shentian Huayin, who had not thought that they could follow Princess Pingyang to the Western Regions, were extremely happy, and they quickly packed their luggage.

Outside Li Xiuning's door, the sisters Hongxiu and Luzhu were standing there like pillars.

Li Xiuning looked at the two girls and raised her eyebrows: "You guys have something to do!"

Luzhu pushed her sister Hongxiu and said, "Sister, you said!"

Hongxiu plucked up the courage and said, "Madam Princess, we sisters want to go to the Western Regions!"

Didn’t Li Xiuning guess the two women’s thoughts? So he said with a stern face: “You can’t do it, everyone has left. What should we do if there are so many industries in our mansion?”

Hongxiu was anxious: "Princess...me!"

"You sisters are the people Chen Lang trusts the most!" Li Xiuning said: "Of course, I trust you too. You must manage the property in the mansion!"

At this moment, Gao Wenjin suddenly said, "Your Highness, I will stay. I have some contact with the affairs of all sizes and big things in the mansion. If you can't control it, you can ask Sister Lan'er for advice!"

Li Xiuning's eyes fell on Gao Wenjin. Originally, Gao Wenjin was not only thin, with yellow hair and boring skin due to malnutrition. However, after being nourished, her skin is now tender and shiny, and the temperament cultivated by Gao's mansion is beyond the reach of ordinary maids.

Li Xiuning looked at Gao Wenjin with a smile and said, "Don't you want to see Chen Lang?"

Hearing this, Gao Wenjin was silent. After a while, she said lightly: "There are always people in the mansion that need to take care of you!"

Li Xiuning turned around and looked at Hongxiu and Luzhu and said, "As it happens, you can go and prepare!"

The servants of the Chen Mansion were very efficient. After a short period of time, they prepared the things. In fact, there were not many. Seventy or eighty four-wheeled carriages, these carriages were specially made. Wheels were cast from high manganese steel. Even if they traveled thousands of miles, they didn’t have to worry about replacing the wheels. The only thing that was either good was that there was no rubber, and the vibration was still as strong.

Just a four-wheeled carriage with people needs to have as many as eight vehicles, and the entire fleet of Chen Mansion is half empty!

Looking at Li Xiuning and his party walking west onto the official road, Gao Wenjin's eyes slowly turned red when they stood at the door.

"Why are you doing this?"

A sudden voice came from behind Gao Wenjin. Gao Wenjin did not look back, but knew that the person behind her was her younger brother Gao Huaide.

Gao Wenjin turned around, looked at Gao Huaide with sharp eyes, and said unhappily: "I want you to care!"

Gao Huaide sighed: "Sister, don't be stubborn. Just cry if you want to cry. I know you like General Chen. If our Gao family is a lost phoenix, it is better to be a chicken. I think our grandfather was alive and we wanted to marry Hou Mo Chen, which would be considered as a compliment. The Hou Mo Chen family was not better than us at the beginning, but now they have risen again and have become the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Sister, wait, I will definitely work hard to earn a royal for you!"

Gao Wenjin was in a very depressed mood. When she listened to Gao Huaide's words, she smiled bitterly: "Even if you have made contributions in the future and become an official, only your mother, father, and your children will be the ones who are in charge. How could it be my turn?"

The love of young people is largely part of self-comfort. Under hormone anesthesia, they have a complete plan for their future.

Gao Wenjin soon put his unhappiness behind his head.

But Gao Huaide said, "Sister, don't worry, I am working hard now and become an official in the future. I will definitely find you a good family. We will be a dignified wife and not a concubine!"

...

Li Xiuning entered the palace to bid farewell to Li Yuan, and the father and daughter staged a scene of a kind father and a filial daughter. When Pingyang burst into tears, the drama finally came to an end.

After saying goodbye to Li Yuan, Li Xiuning went straight to the East Palace. But he found that Li Jiancheng was already wearing a robe and holding a war horse and walked to the door.

When Li Jiancheng saw Li Xiuning coming, he hurriedly said, "Sanniang, you are here, come in and sit in!"

"Brother, let's have a walk together!" Li Xiuning said: "Let's brother and sister tell us the intimate words together!"

Ma Sanbao and Yuchi Gong consciously withdrew more than ten steps away. Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning led the war horses along the street and towards the city gate.

Li Xiuning looked at Li Jiancheng's thin face and murmured: "Brother, I can't speak loudly if I don't say anything!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Sanniang just said it's okay!"

Li Xiuning said: "Brother, do you know what the biggest difference between Erlang and you are?"

Li Jiancheng said: "If it is a good idea to be reckless, I am indeed inferior to him!"

Li Xiuning shook his head and said, "In the army, whoever dares to make trouble will dare to draw his sword and chop people!"

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Li Xiuning sighed and said, "Brother, you must remember that charity is not in charge of the army, not to mention that you are not only in the army, but also in the world, and billions of common people. Brother, you must remember it!"
