Chapter 162 Changsun Wuji's Dilemma

Chen Ying's physical and energy condition is always on the verge of breaking through the limit but not breaking down. In fact, Chen Ying is also very clear that in this case, his own qualities will be broken.

However, this is not the result that Chen Ying wants. What he wants is harmony between wives and concubines, harmonious family, and a family can live happily.

Ideals are all beautiful, but what Chen Ying is most afraid of is that Li Xiuning and Li Daozhen are fighting each other and both suffer losses, leaving behind two sons and losing their mothers. In this way, will his two sons hate him to death in the future?

It's just a pity that Chen Ying was wrong.

He never thought that in this era, people's understanding and positioning of friendship and loyalty. Chen Ying gave Li Daozhen a large number of people who could use, including the Eighteen Generals of Lingwu, Chen Jinyong, Shan Xiongxin, etc. The respect for Li Daozhen comes from the kindness of Chen Ying. However, in the hearts of these people, Li Xiuning can represent Chen Ying's person. If Chen Ying has an accident in the future, Li Xiuning can legitimately accept all Chen Ying's inheritance. After all, Li Xiuning is the mistress, and Li Xiuning's son Chen Qian is the young master of the Chen family.

Therefore, Li Xiuning used her identity to directly remove the firewood from the cauldron and brought all the people under Li Daozhen, except Xiaotao. Without Chen Ying's support, Li Daozhen was a county lord in Baicheng who had a title of county lord. She was alone, and Li Daozhen was naturally not Li Xiuning's opponent.

This is the power of fame and righteousness. Although this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious, it is a tangible force. Even if it is like Cao Cao, he dare not betray the rebellion against the Han Dynasty and at most be a powerful minister. Zhuge Liang is also a powerful minister. If he usurped the throne, no one could stop him in Shu Han, but righteousness and reputation bound his hands.

Nothing that Chen Ying was worried about now happened, and Li Daozhen and Li Xiuning's two daughters were not only not beaten to death, but were respectful and harmonious.

Li Xiuning's generous and luxurious carriage had no way to move forward in the snow and ice. However, after removing the wheels and loading the sled, the four-wheeled carriage turned into a snow boat. He was pulled by four strong horses, and the carriage was moving forward in a more stable way.

There were various accounting books piled up in Li Xiuning's carriage, with mountains of accounting books and files, but they did not seem messy at all. There was also a celadon vase next to the desk, which was filled with three plum blossoms. The fragrance and elegance added a little charming vitality and aura to the carriage.

Li Xiuning looked at Li Daozhen sitting next to him, sighed leisurely and said, "Mr. I am really biased. You are a nameless concubine, but you have a net worth of billions... It seems that your position in Mr. I am really extraordinary..."

Listening to this, Li Daozhen was panicked: "Sister said that these industries and money are just for the time being. Isn't it that Li has finished his life now?"

Li Xiuning waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just talking casually. It's not easy for you to take care of your children alone over the years. You have to continue to manage these industries. Now Chang'an is in a mess. If our family doesn't go to this mess, it will be the main thing to put your heart into the Western Regions in the future!"

It’s not that Li Xiuning doesn’t understand politics. She also knows that the temptation of the throne is that of the crown prince. Father and son turn against each other and get married. There are many things that can cause damage to each other. Her simple and crude method in Chang'an is just to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

The most important thing is that the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was not rooted in the two of them, but in her father Li Yuan. It was precisely because of Li Yuan's encouragement that Li Shimin was very ambitious.

Li Jiancheng is too capable, and Li Yuan is worried.

Li Xiuning understood even more that no one could control Li Yuan's will.

Li Daozhen lowered her head and said, "Sister dare not!"

"I ask you to take care of it, you can take care of it!" Li Xiuning looked at Xu Erniang again and said, "And you, Sister Xu, you used to take care of the Chen Mansion's industries. Now you have to transfer the Chen Mansion's industries to the Western Regions..."

Xu Erniang said timidly: "Madam, will this make the court unhappy?"

Chen Ying is now a rank-level official, and the Western Regions are alone. The influence of the imperial court on the Western Regions is too low. If the Western Regions are developed into a commercial center, with money, food, and all the soldiers of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, I am afraid the imperial court will be even more afraid of Chen Ying.

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "My sister Xu's concerns are reasonable. Let's do this. After you arrive in the Western Regions, find a Hu merchant in the Western Regions as a cover and entrust Hu merchant to the front of the stage. You live in seclusion behind the scenes and take control in secret!"

...

Changsun Wuji, who was in Gaochang City, had a gray face and slapped the table heavily. The hard tabletop was nothing, but the teacup on the table fell to the ground and fell into countless pieces. At this moment, Changsun Wuji's eyes were almost spitting out of fire, and he cursed angrily: "Damn bastard, waste, you can't even see a woman. I have to peel off your skin if you cause such a big disaster!"

After being intimidated by Chen Ying for a while, Changsun Wuji had no choice. The Western Regions were Chen Ying's home court. As the saying goes, an arm could not twist its thighs, not to mention that Chen Ying's arm was thicker than the waist of the world. I was so anxious that Chen Ying had a way to deal with him. When Wang Shichong was killed by Dugu Xiude, Li Yuan did not deal with Dugu Xiude, because avenging his father was allowed by the etiquette and law of this era.

Changsun Wuji has many enemies. As long as Chen Ying is looking for it with his heart, he can at least find a strengthening group. At that time, he can just instruct his own Xiri to kill him, and lied that he had a mortal hatred with him. At worst, he would have to fight for his own life, and he would still not be involved in Chen Ying.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji became an ostrich honestly.

However, at this moment, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly arrived in Gaochang City and reported a major event to Changsun Wuji. Yuwen Zhaoyi ran away.

Ye Zhiqiu was originally from Haozhou and was born as a commoner landlord. In the late years of Daye, there was a chaos in Haozhou. Ye Zhiqiu took his parents and younger brother to be killed by Sui soldiers on the way to exile. He also had a young sister who starved to death halfway through the way. He was naturally full of hatred for the Sui soldiers who were even more cruel than the bandits, so he brazenly joined the rebel army under Li Shimin. However, Ye Zhiqiu was unable to get promoted due to his background.

Later, Li Shimin established the Hundred Cavalry Division, and Changsun Wuji took charge of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and Ye Zhiqiu was transferred to the Hundred Cavalry Division Chief Secretariat.

Ye Zhiqiu said: "Changsun Dujian, the most important thing now is how to deal with the aftermath!"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was poured on his head like a basin of cold water, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Using Yuwen Zhaoyi to force Yang Wengan to rebel was Changsun Wuji's idea, but this matter was a bit bad. After Yang Wengan rebelled, he should have secretly executed Yuwen Zhaoyi first, but considering the principle that it can be used for waste, Changsun Wuji did not kill Yuwen Zhaoyi to silence him. After all, Yuwen Zhaoyi was the sister of Yuwen Shiji, the former General of the Left Guard of Sui, Yuwen Shu, with a noble status and a good appearance. The dead soldiers he kept in captivity required a lot of money. Of course, letting Yuwen Zhaoyi act as a camp prostitute for these dead soldiers to play with him can make them follow Li Shimin wholeheartedly.

After all, women who play the emperor, as long as the matter is exposed, this is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. They will never dare to betray them, let alone save some money and food.

However, there is a problem now. Yuwen Zhaoyi escaped, not to mention that if Yang Wengan's rebellion was exposed, Li Shimin would have lost the opportunity to fight for the throne. Moreover, Yuwen Zhaoyi is also the hope of the Yuwen family. Now Changsun Wuji can be said to have destroyed Yuwen Zhaoyi's possibility of continuing to be with Li Yuan. In this way, he offended the Yuwen family to death.

The Yuwen family is much worse than before, but Yuwen Shihe is the Minister of the Tang Dynasty and one of the core figures who can participate in the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, Yuwen Shihe was also one of the neutral factions, but because of Yuwen Zhaoyi's affairs, he would definitely turn to the East Palace and become one of the pioneers of the overthrow of Qin.

Changsun Wuji was like falling from an ice cellar, sweating coldly: "Don't let Yuwen Zhaoyi return to Chang'an alive. Those who use our people along the way must kill Yuwen Zhaoyi outside Chang'an City no matter how much the price is spent!"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "These commands have been issued, but Changsun Dujian, don't have too much hope. She will escape from that place, which is definitely not an ordinary person. And I suspect that she has encountered help from someone else, otherwise she will not be able to escape from that place at all!"

"Don't worry!" Changsun Wuji said: "You'll leave immediately and tell His Highness the King of Qin to prepare early, otherwise we'll be all done!"

Ye Zhiqiu naturally knew that things were extraordinary.

When Ye Zhiqiu packed up his greetings and walked to the gate with enough dry food and water, facing dozens of crossbow arrows with cold light, the guard outside the door shouted with a fright, "No order, you must not go out without authorization, otherwise you will be killed!"

Ye Zhiqiu turned around helplessly. Although his martial arts skills were not weak, he could also rank in the top 20 in the Qin Palace, but he was alone and wanted to break through the numerous encirclements. It was no different from dying!

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly returned, and Changsun Wuji said in surprise: "How dare they do this?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "Now Chen Ying is the heaven of the Western Regions, what is he afraid to do?"

Changsun Wuji's face turned pale, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

The defenders who stayed in front of Changsun Wuji's mansion were all Hu soldiers except for the commander of the army. They were speechless and had no choice but to bribe them.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the helpless Changsun Wuji and whispered: "How about you, I will try again until evening?"

Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "It's useless!"

"It's useless?" Ye Zhiqiu asked in surprise: "How come it's useless?"

Changsun Wuji said: "We cannot pass through various cities along the way without faith. Now the ice and snow are everywhere in the sky, which is enough to seal everything out of the Western Regions!"
