Chapter 252: The pawn crossing the river heads over the big chariot

It is said that although the weight is small, it can weigh a thousand pounds. Xu Jingzong, the doctor of the Bi tribe, is such a weight. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, even though he is only a fifth-rank doctor, the key is that except for the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons, other officials, whether civil officials or military generals, whether they are centers or local governments, have the right to investigate.

However, how many of these officials in the Tang Dynasty could withstand the investigation?

A sharp sword in Chen Ying's hand.

In the evening, Xu Jingzong was invited to Furong Garden in the south of Chang'an City. At this time, the Fanglin Garden in Furong Garden had been changed to the place where Chen Ying and Li Xiuning lived.

Xu Jingzong was a smart man. Chen Ying invited him to come. He just understood that Chen Ying needed to use him now. Although he had become a weight that weighed thousands of pounds, Xu Jingzong knew very well that his official position had always been a hot commodity for all forces. Without Chen Ying and Li Xiushi's support, he would not be able to sit firmly at the position of doctor in the army.

On the way, Xu Jingzong sat in the carriage and opened the newspaper from time to time. As Xu Zhong reported what happened in Chang'an City, Xu Jing told Xu Jingzong: "Alang, just this morning, the Dali Temple leader Shi Guan Ziqing was killed at home by a group of thugs and was undone on the spot!"

Xu Jingzong suddenly asked, "A few days ago, General Chen was imprisoned by His Majesty. Is this the governor of Ziqing?"

Xu Zhong nodded and said, "Yes!"

Hearing this, Xu Jingzong took a deep breath.

In this world, the most trustworthy thing is coincidence. But Xu Jingzong was sure that this was definitely not a coincidence. It must be that Guan Ziqing was instructed by some great figures to secretly deal with Chen Ying in the Heavenly Prison.

Xu Jingzong's guess was very accurate, almost the same as the truth.

When Xu Jingzong came to Fanglinyuan, Chen Ying, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Li Siye, Chen Qian and others sat around the big round table to have dinner. Li Siye and Chen Qian each held a huge bowl and competed to drink porridge.

Chen Ying looked at Xu Jingzong's arrival and pointed to a vacant seat in the lower head and said, "Yan clan, have you eaten? If you don't eat, sit down and eat something!"

Xu Jingzong pulled a Jindun and sat down gently. He said he was sitting, but in fact his butt was just a little bit next to the edge.

A maid brought dishes and tableware to Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong was also flattered.

Chen Ying's supper is mainly light. Although it is not rich, it tastes very good. Even the most ordinary dried radish, Xu Jingzong ate it very sweetly.

Seeing Li Siye drinking all the porridge in the bowl, Chen Ying winked at Li Daozhen, and Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang and others led Li Siye, Chen Qian and others out.

The diligent servant packed the remaining roasted soup on the dining table, and then served fragrant tea.

Chen Ying picked up the tea, blew it gently, and asked casually: "Yan clan, do you know what I'm asking for you!"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "I know a little bit!"

Chen Ying sighed and said, "I think I am just a spectator, but some people don't think so and insist on killing me. This experience in the Heavenly Prison also sounded the alarm for me. I disdain to fight, but I am not afraid of fighting!"

Xu Jingzong nodded.

He knew very well what kind of person Chen Ying was. He grew from a silent soldier step by step to the current Duke of Liang, and was a second-rank official. If Chen Ying was kind, he was probably swallowed up by someone so much that he had no bones left.

Li Xiuning said: "The civil officials gathered in Tiance Prefecture all served as staff members and did not possess real power. Even if they had real power, they were only trivial minor officials. The military officials of Tiance Prefecture can be divided into three factions. One was to follow the old foundation of the Qin King from Taiyuan, such as Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, etc. These people were the best friends of the Qin King and were closely related to the Qin King's Mansion; the second was the generals of the Wagang faction, such as Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, etc. After the death of the Migong, they returned to the Qin King's command, more to protect themselves. However, after fighting side by side in the battle, the original Wagang army no longer existed and became the direct subordinate of the Qin King..."

Chen Ying touched his nose with displeasure and smiled bitterly: "The generals of Wagang, Qin Cheng Niu Xie, their loyalty cannot be underestimated..."

Li Xiuning frowned and showed a helpless expression and said, "There is a third faction, some surrendered generals who have no foundation or backing in the Tang Dynasty. The typical figure is Yuchi Jingde. In the Tang Dynasty, no one of them can rely on except the King of Qin, nor their own backing background. Therefore, these people can only choose to rely on the King of Qin."

Xu Jingzong interrupted, "According to the princess' analysis, which faction should we start with?"

Chen Ying put away his smile and gently tapped the table with his hand, and suddenly said: In theory, the first thing we should start to solve is surrendered generals like Yuchi Jingde. However, I think it is best to start with the old generals of Wagang first."

Li Xiuning said in confusion: "How can I see it?

Chen Ying smiled and said, "The old generals of Wagang do not refer to Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Niu Junda, Xie Yingden and others. When Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, 20,000 to 30,000 Wagang troops. As time goes by, these Wagang soldiers are now spread all over the twelve guards, and are also the main backbone forces in the Xuanjia army. They directly lead the guards during the war. If they want to capture the army, they cannot avoid these soldiers. This is one of them."

Li Xiuning nodded repeatedly.

Chen Ying said: "Secondly, the surrendered generals in Tiance Mansion, such as Qin Qiong, Cheng, Xie, Niu, are now all third-rank officials, and have come from the top. The rewards for military merits are even more considerable. Such treatment is not the case with Yuan Cong and surrendered generals. Are they not jealous? Even if the surrendered generals have no idea, what about those old people in Yuan Cong in Taiyuan?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "Then according to the general's meaning,... who should I check first?"

Chen Ying said: "Whose evidence do you have in your hands?"

Xu Jingzong smiled embarrassedly and said, "As long as it is impossible to hide anything from the general. The subordinates now have evidence of Cheng Zhijie. In the past three months, Cheng Zhijie has not had any war under his command, but the alcohol consumption is 30% higher than usual, and he has taken over a full six thousand kilograms!"

"What six thousand jin?" Chen Ying was shocked when he heard this: "How come there are so many?"

Cheng Zhijie likes alcohol as much as his life, which Chen Ying knew. He thought that Cheng Zhijie could receive up to 35 kilograms of at most, but he did not expect to receive 6,000 kilograms of alcohol. This is too scary. Alcohol is very expensive. After all, the production of alcohol in this era is not as good as that of later generations. Even if the Tang Dynasty produces it with all its strength, the output per year will be only more than 100,000 kilograms. Six thousand kilograms of alcohol is enough to be sentenced.

Li Xiuning said: "What kind of general is definitely what kind of soldiers he brings. Cheng Zhijie is good at drinking and often drinks medical alcohol as wine. How can his generals and schools under his command follow suit?"

"It's decided, so let's check Cheng Zhijie first!" Chen Ying said: "Give Tiance Mansion a little warning, don't mess with me if you're okay!"

...

In Changsun Mansion, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji sat opposite each other and drank.

Changsun Wuji was in a happy mood. Although Chen Ying was not removed this time, the prince was asked to continue to complain, and the King of Qin was in charge of the Secretariat as the Secretariat. Since then, the daily operations of major events in the court were the Secretariat, and the major edicts and decisions were also the Secretariat.

In other words, Li Jiancheng, the Crown Prince of the State, has only one name left.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Du Bingcao, what is the outcome of this game?

Du Yan said with a calm look on his face: "What the masters are most worried about is that their subordinates are connected with each other and have the same spirit. When the ministers are united, the king will not be able to sleep."

Changsun Wuji nodded.

Du Yan continued: "Therefore, the Qin King is powerful and the crown prince is weak. Your Majesty will support the crown prince and suppress the Qin King. Once the situation is reversed, the crown prince is strong and the Qin King is single, Your Majesty will appease the Qin King and suppress the crown prince. This is the most common emperor's mind. Therefore, the Qin King only needs to keep two things in mind, and this time there will be victory but no defeat."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked, "Which two?"

Du Yan said seriously: "Your Majesty must know that the power between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince is like water and fire; you must also let Your Majesty understand that if you do not have His Majesty's protection, the King of Qin will definitely not be the opponent of the Crown Prince..."

Speaking of this, a miserable scream suddenly came...

"ah……"

Changsun Wuji was shocked and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Come here, why are you back!"

Not long after, a servant came over and reported, "Alang, something happened, come and take a look..."

Changsun Wuji dared not neglect. When he and Du Yan came to the front hall, they suddenly found that blood was dripping from the beam of the front hall.

Changsun Wuji was shocked and pointed at a servant and said, "Come on, move the ladder and go up and see what's going on!"

The attendant did not dare to be negligent, so he had to bite the bullet and look for the ladder. The attendant brought the ladder and found a huge cloth bag on it. The cloth bag was already frozen, but a stove was raised in the hall, and the frozen corpse pieces slowly melted, and blood flowed down the beams of the room.

Seeing that the cloth bag was covered with minced meat, the attendant was so scared that he was so scared that he rolled down from the ladder in screaming.

At this time, he fell into Changsun Wuji's cloth bag. Although it was full of minced meat, Changsun Wuji and Du Yan were both people with hard hearts. They were not afraid, especially Du Yan, but instead pulled the minced meat with his hands. Du Yan analyzed to Changsun Wuji while pulling the minced meat: "In the current weather, the body will freeze for a quarter of an hour outside. According to the temperature in the hall, it will take at least half an hour to melt!"

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji's eyes fell on one of the hand among the flesh of the corpse. This hand was unique because it had six fingers.

Changsun Wuji said angrily with a pale face: "I know who the dead is. The Heavenly Prison Palm of Dali Temple leads the prison history Guan Ziqing, and is known as Guan Liufing!"

Du Yan sighed: "What a great pawn, what a pity, the pawn crossing the river can hold a big cart at a critical moment!"

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy and gloomy eyes burst out from his eyes, and gradually his eyes became a little dazed.

Du Yan washed his bloody hands in the basin and said, "Let's bury them quickly!"

However, Xiao Bantian. Changsun Wuji had no reaction at all.

Du Yan stepped forward and pushed Changsun Wuji and said, "Changsun joins the army, are you okay?"

"No... it's okay!" Changsun Wuji made a trembling voice, obviously betraying his heart.

In fact, he was not only worried, but also afraid.

Only he knew very well that this was done by Chen Ying. Since Chen Ying could throw Guan Ziqing's body on the beam of his hall, and it was in broad daylight, it was unaware of it. Obviously, Chen Ying had this strength and eliminated him without knowing it.

The aristocratic families kept a large number of dead soldiers in captivity, and used the dead soldiers to solve some dirty things that could not see the sun. The Changsun family's family and background are still a little worse.

Du Yan looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Does Changsun join the army want to find this place?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Du Yan in surprise and said, "Do you have a way?"

"Yes..." Du Yan said: "Chen Ying had an old subordinate named You Ziying. He is currently promoted to the position of the captain of the Anhua Gate. In fact, this is also a small pawn of Chen Ying. At critical moments, Chen Ying can easily enter and exit from Anhua Gate. I can deal with You Ziying at any time and send the body to Chen Ying!"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji broke out in a cold sweat. He said in a lost voice: "No... Forget it, if you want to talk about the dead soldiers, our Qin Palace is not as many as Chen Ying's one person. Once Chen Ying's people are touched, it would be strange if he doesn't go crazy. In that case, it will cause a decisive battle, and the prince can reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

...

Under normal circumstances, no one will take care of foreign officials like Cheng Zhijie. After all, Cheng Zhijie is not only the deputy subordinate of Hedong military officers, but also the commander of the left-handed army of General Tiance's mansion. As long as Li Jiancheng is not ready to move Cheng Zhijie, he will never dare to touch him.

However, now the bulletin of Xu Jingzong, the doctor of the Bijun, is placed on the desk of the Minister of Justice. As one of the elders of Li Yuan's founding, Liu Zhenghui never intervened in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. However, at present, Li Jiancheng took the lead in attacking, and he had no choice.

Liu Zhenghui was in a dilemma and dealt with Cheng Zhijie, and offended the Qin Palace. If he did not deal with it, he would offend the Eastern Palace. Both of them were great gods, and he could not afford to offend any one person.

So, when Liu Zhenghui got up, he accidentally fell and injured his leg and went directly to take sick leave.

Although Liu Zhenghui was sick, the Ministry of Justice of the court needed to continue operating. He was sent from the Minister of Justice to the Minister of Justice according to the procedures. Pei Ji looked at the memorials impeaching Cheng Zhijie and looked embarrassed.

However, he did not dare to hide this bullet stamp. Once it was hidden, it would be equivalent to offending the Eastern Palace and Li Yuan.

When the impeachment memorial was placed in front of Li Yuan, Li Yuan was immediately angry.

Li Yuan knew that six thousand kilograms of alcohol could be mixed into fine wine. He wanted to use more in the palace, but was criticized by the former Minister of War. The reason was very powerful. How could life-saving things be wasted?

Li Yuan had no choice but to reduce the share of use in the palace. In fact, Li Yuan could receive only 1,500 kilograms of alcohol in a year, but when he thought that Cheng Zhijie had embezzled 3,000 kilograms of kilograms in three months, Li Yuan was so angry that his face turned pale.

Li Yuan shouted: "Come here, I will draw an imperial edict!"

The officials in charge of the edict rushed in.

Li Yuan said: "Transfer my order and transfer the left-handed military officer of the Qin Palace to command Cheng Zhijie and become the general manager of Kangzhou. He will take office within ten days from the date of receiving the order."

Kangzhou was not Kangding. In the fifth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty established the Kangzhou General Administration Office in Jinkang County (now Deqing County) in western Guangdong, which was in charge of the military affairs of the six prefectures in western Guangdong.

According to later generations, from the deputy general manager of Hedong to the general manager of Kangzhou, it was considered a promotion. After all, in Hedong and Shanxi, regardless of population and economy, it was incomparable to Guangdong. However, in the Tang Dynasty, Kangzhou was still a wilderness, and Cheng Zhijie was exiled from Hedong to the general manager of Kangzhou, which was considered exiled, and it was a very serious exile!
