Chapter 212 The monarch wants the minister to die and the minister has to die

Chapter 212: The king wants his minister to die and his ministers have to die

"Sanniang, we have known each other for six years. You should be the one who knows me the most!" Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said very seriously: "Do you see that I have ambition?"

Li Xiuning asked himself in a ignorant way that Chen Ying was good at leading troops and training elite troops, and he did not do anything except knowing how to tinker with some strange things and farming. As Chen Ying's wife, Li Xiuning could ask about all Chen Ying's financial expenses, and Chen Ying never used his strong capital to buy any courtier.

If Chen Ying is really ambitious, she really can't tell!

"However, you also understand that it doesn't matter whether I have ambition or not!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "What's important is that I have the ability and capital to win the throne."

Li Xiuning was silent. As Li Yuan's daughter, she not only knew Chen Ying, but also knew Li Yuan better. Li Yuan was a person who was very accustomed to threatening and strangling. For example, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were almost captured and sent to Chang'an.

Wang Shichong imposed heavy taxes, killed the throne, eliminated dissidents, and killed all directions, causing disaster to the entire Central Plains. In theory, Wang Shichong deserves to be even more damned, but Li Yuan can forgive Wang Shichong very generously. Dou Jiande was generous and kind, and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and fought with the people. Even two years after Dou Jiande's death, Liu Shishan rebelled in Hebei under his banner. In just three months, Liu Shishan restored the thirty-nine states of Hebei, and two or three million people followed him, which shows how Dou Jiande was so popular.

It is precisely because Dou Jiande was very popular that Li Yuan killed Dou Jiande because Dou Jiande had the strength and ability to threaten the basis of the rule of the Li Tang court.

Li Xiuning stepped forward and hugged Chen Ying's arm and said, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will never let things get out of control!"

"Can you relieve yourself?" Yang Rong looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Although Princess Pingyang is a princess, it is..."

Before Yang Rong finished speaking, Li Xiuning said unhappily: "This is our own business. Wu Yang, don't you feel that you are too busy with your control?"

Yang Rong stood up and said in a tit-for-tat way: "The prince once defended Dou Jiande's case, and even knelt in front of Wude Hall for three days and two nights, but what's the result? Princess Pingyang thought that your ability was greater than that of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning was speechless.

In fact, Chen Ying advised Li Jiancheng at that time: "If Dou Jiande dies, Hebei will rebel!" Li Jiancheng also believed Chen Ying's words and ordered Pei Ji to conspire Dou Jiande to rebel, and tried Dou Jiande for false charges. Li Jiancheng remembered Chen Ying's judgment and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he made great efforts to protect Dou Jiande from rebellion. However, Li Yuan did not take into account Li Jiancheng's idea. Not only did he not agree to pardon Dou Jiande, he denounced Li Jiancheng and resolutely executed Dou Jiande.

This is a fact, and Li Xiuning really has no way to argue.

Yang Rong smiled coldly and said, "My cousin now takes over tens of thousands of elite generals, and will naturally be safe and sound. Now this accident cannot guarantee that no one in the court will want to concoct unjust cases. What else can I do now? Go back to Chang'an to serve as the Grand Situ? I'm afraid that when I go to Chang'an, I will not welcome a famous Grand Situ, but the Chang'an Tianzhu!"

Li Xiuning turned around and looked at Chen Ying who lowered his head and was silent and said, "Chen Lang, what do you think you should do?"

"Report it as it is!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "I will be on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"

Li Xiuning's hand unconsciously clenched Chen Ying's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Chen Lang..."

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's worried look and felt a little confused. Chen Ying was not a selfless saint. He also knew that at this time, if he really rebelled, it would be that the relatives would suffer and the enemy would be happy. However, if Chen Ying did not become Yue Fei, he would not become Yue Fei.

Chen Ying sighed and said, "If the king wants his minister to die, he has to die. If Your Majesty thinks that Chen Ying is guilty, why should Chen Ying cherish this body!"

Chen Ying said very beautifully, but he was even more determined in his heart: "Fuck you, Wang Quan and Fugui. If the King of Hell wants my life, I will also pull him down a few thorns, wanting him to wait for death, but there is no door!"

Li Xiuning is not a fool. It is necessary to weaken local authority and take power back to the central government based on the consideration of the Li family. Otherwise, local separatism will be formed.

In fact, when the Tang Dynasty was established, phenomena like Chen Ying were not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon. Although the tens of thousands of Jianghuai under Du Fuwei's command changed the flag and flag, Du Fuwei's orders were far more effective than Li Yuan's imperial edict. However, if Chen Ying really let go of military power, I am afraid that by that time, the impeachment memorial about Chen Ying would be overwhelmed like snowflakes.

"There is only a dead end to give up military power!" Li Xiuning thought silently. Suddenly she turned around and picked up Li Yuan's imperial edict and placed it on the tea stove. The charcoal in the tea stove slowly ignited the imperial edict.

Chen Ying originally thought that Li Xiuning would stand by the ten thousand years of conscience of Li Yuan and the Li family, and advised him to return to Chang'an to defend himself to Chen Ying, but he did not expect that Li Xiuning would actually burn Li Yuan's imperial edict!

Chen Ying looked at this scene and said in surprise: "Sanniang, you..."

"Don't say anything!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Xiuning's eyes, and he looked at Yang Rong and said word by word: "You have never seen the imperial mission, nor have you ever seen any imperial edict!"

Yang Rong nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course I haven't seen it before!"

"It's good if there isn't!" Li Xiuning looked at Yang Rong and the manager around Yang Rong and said, "You are all smart people, don't do stupid things!"

Chen Ying said laughing and crying: "Sanniang, wouldn't you hide your ears and steal the bell?"

"Let's see what my dad says first!" Li Xiuning reached out to touch his lower abdomen and said with a determined look: "No matter what, I can't let my child lose his dad before he was born!"

Chen Ying was slightly stunned, and then said happily: "Sanniang, what did you say? You have it?"

Li Xiuning nodded.

Yang Rong quietly exited the lobby, leaving the space behind Li Xiuning and Chen Ying!

...

On the Weishui River in Chang'an, a boat quietly sailed on the river. The sound of silk and bamboo floated in the boat, and the singer was singing the soft songs of Wu dialect in the boat. At this moment, another black-sailed boat quietly approached the boat. The two boats were close together, and a pallet appeared on the boat. Changsun Wuji was the first to appear at the hatch, and then flashed and showed Li Shimin behind him.

As the sound of silk and bamboo on the pleasure boat was originally heard, Du Fuwei, who was drunk and hazy in his eyes, looked at Li Shimin and said, "It's you?"

Li Shimin looked up and down at Du Fuwei, smiled slightly and said, "No, it's me!"

Du Fuwei shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have come!"

Li Shimin said, "I have to come!"

Li Shimin said, walked to Du Fuwei and sat down.

Du Fuwei smiled and waved his hand to signal the singers and musicians to retreat. In the big pleasure boat, Du Fuwei, Kan Len, Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were left in an instant.

Du Fuwei pointed to the dish and said, "Heat up the dish."

A group of waiters rushed out from behind the pleasure boat and came over to take away the bowls on the table.

Du Fuwei looked at Li Shimin with a calm face and said, "I wonder what is the important thing about His Highness, the King of Qin, who is condescending to the nobles?"

Li Shimin did not directly answer Du Fuwei's words, but looked at Du Fuwei lightly and said, "Have Brother Du been to Guanzhong before?

Du Fuwei shook his head and said, "No, I have only been to Henan and Shandong before!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Is the climate here in Guanzhong adaptable?"

Du Fuwei wrapped his fur coat tightly and sighed, "I didn't expect that the autumn in Guanzhong is even colder than the winter in Jiangnan. I am not used to Guanzhong, and the climate is too dry..."

Changsun Wuji smiled and did not respond.

Li Shimin said: "Brother Du wants to go back to Jiangnan?"

Du Fuwei smiled bitterly and said, "People leave their hometowns and their hometowns are hard to leave. Who can't think of it? However, in front of His Highness the King of Qin, a certain family can only say that they are happy here and do not think of Chu!"

Li Shimin said: "If Brother Du believes in Shimin, Shimin can help Brother Du return to Jianghuai!"

"Help me return to Jianghuai?" Du Fuwei staggered with drunken eyes, poured a glass of wine for Li Shimin and said, "How do you help me return to Jianghuai?"

Li Shimin's smile froze. After a while, he said embarrassedly: "I am Li Shimin..."

Du Fuwei said carelessly: "Your Highness, today we will only talk about the situation, regardless of state affairs, come and ask for a drink!"

Li Shimin stood up and said with regret: "I thought I would have fallen into this with Brother Du at first sight. If Brother Du is willing to help Shimin, you and I will win again!"

Du Fuwei smiled and said, "Please drink!"

Li Shimin said: "Brother Du, isn't it enough for me to be sincere?"

Du Fuwei said: "Not enough!"

Li Shimin said in confusion: "Why?"

"As long as you are not blind, you can see it, the problem between you and the prince!" Du Fuwei smiled and pointed at Li Shimin and said, "This is the biggest problem in the Tang Dynasty at the moment."

Li Shimin examined Du Fuwei with a suspicious look.

Changsun Wuji looked at Du Fuwei and Li Shimin's performance with interest.

Du Fuwei said while drinking: "Kan Ling, sort out all the land, soldiers, money and grain accounts of our Jianghuai Army. Tomorrow... no, I will hand it over to the King of Qin now!"

Kan Ling bowed and said, "See the adoptive father!"

As he said that, Kan Ling turned around and left.

Du Fuwei looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness, is a certain family sincere enough?"

Li Shimin bowed and said, "The people of Shimin have nothing but this body!"

As he said that, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji winked. Changsun Wuji understood and took out a few incense sticks from his arms, setting up a table of incense directly in the pleasure boat.

Li Shimin said: "Li Shimin is willing to make Jinlan with Du Fuwei, but I don't know what my brother wants?"

Du Fuwei and Li Shimin kowtowed to the sky in front of the incense burner.

Du Fuwei said: "I, Du Fuwei, today I, became a brother of the opposite sex with Li Shimin. I do not ask for birth in the same year and the same month, but I ask for death in the same year and the same month...

Li Shimin said: "I, Li Shimin, today I am a brother of the opposite sex with Du Fuwei. I do not ask for birth in the same year and the same month, but ask for death in the same year and the same month...

The two of them got up after the ceremony.
