Chapter 267: A man bleeds and does not cry

Li Shimin once again proved the ever-changing famous saying with practical actions: "Only exhausted cattle, no broken fields!"

Although Changsun Wugui seems weak and unyielding, Li Shimin seems to be as strong as a cow.

However, things can never be just looking at the surface.

As the wind and rain stopped, Li Shimin collapsed by the pond, so tired that he didn't even move his little fingers.

Changsun Wugui not only wiped the water droplets on Li Shimin with a towel, but also served Li Shimin to wear clothes.

Li Shimin muttered, "Don't wear it, take a break!"

Changsun Wugui pointed to the direction of Chengqian Palace: "Don't let all the ministers wait for a long time!"

Only then did Li Shimin cheer up and cooperate with Changsun Wugui to wear clothes.

When the two walked out of the bathroom, Li Shimin was depressed and his hands and feet were weak, while Changsun Wugui was radiant and energetic.

Li Shimin was wearing loose clothes and walked towards Chengqian Palace weakly until outside the hall. Then he was so energetic that he strode into Chengqian Palace in the Qin Palace.

Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji and Lei Yongji, who were covered in bags, watched Li Shimin come in and shouted together: "I welcome the king back!"

Li Shimin

Li Shimin sat behind the desk with a look of depressed expression and looked at the generals of the Tiance Mansion. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry, we have finally come over this hurdle!"

Changsun Wuji handed Li Shimin a cup of hot tea.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Du Yan and others walked in quickly from outside.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others and smiled.

Hou Junji stepped forward and said, "King, when will we set out to Luoyang?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "What are you going to Luoyang?"

Hou Junji looked at Li Shimin suspiciously, and then looked at Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and said coldly: "I won't go anywhere before the battle is over."

At this moment, Du Yan waved and a follower brought a box over from outside.

Du Yan looked at Li Shimin and smiled and said, "King, this is what you need most now!"

"This is..." Li Shimin hesitated.

Du Yan took the big box, opened it with the key, gently lifted the lid, and reached out to take out a thick roll of silk cloth from it. Du Yan had a faint smile on his face, and slowly opened the silk cloth, which was painted on the silk cloth.

Li Shimin slowly read it one by one.

Changsun Wuji only glanced at it, looked surprised, and stared at him curiously, "What is this?"

While talking, I pulled the map and looked like it.

Du Yan smiled and said, "The map of Tai Chi Palace in Daxing City!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's eyes met in the air and exclaimed in unison: "The map of Tai Chi Palace?"

Du Yan nodded and said, "That's right, it took a lot of effort. I will never believe that Yuwen Kai's will not leave a bottom map, so I captured his sons Yuwen Rutong and Yuwen Wen. I tortured for three months before I got this picture from Yuwen Kai's tomb, and this is the only one in the world!"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, slowly raised his head, looked back at Li Shimin, and carefully pushed the map back to Li Shimin's hand.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Holding the rituals... I knew a long time ago...I want this?"

Du Yan nodded and said, "Those who have won the temple before the battle have to be counted more; those who have not won the temple before the battle have to be counted less. More than less, even if there is nothing! What the king is fighting is not a battle, but a country's tripod, and it must be counted more. Of course, this is also the last step!"

Li Shimin's eyes became serious and said slowly: "The most important ones are the three most important soldiers stationed in Chang'an City, the Changlin Army of King Li Yuanji of Qi, the left and right Qingdao of the East Palace, and the left and right Wuwei Guards stationed in Taiji Palace. These three armies have a population of nearly 50,000 people, not to mention the left and right Wuwei Guards of the West City and the right Wuwei Guards of the East City. These nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses are not our people. The left and middle of our Qin Tiance Mansion, the right guards of only 5,000 people, 5,000 to 80,000..."

All the generals were silent.

Even if an armed coup was launched and the strength was disparate, they had no chance of winning!

Hou Junji, Lei Yongji, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, including Yuchi Gong, were all silent and no one answered.

Du Yan said: "This time, our plan actually failed. Your Majesty did not punish the prince. He just pardoned Zhang Liang, which means that Your Majesty did not believe it!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's too hasty, the plan is not perfect!"

Du Yan shook his head and said, "It's not that it's imperfect, but because of Chen Ying!"

"Chen Ying?" Li Shimin slowly frowned and said, "He!"

"Yes!" Du Yan smiled bitterly and said, "The news sent back by the detailed works we buried in the Eastern Palace was already furious at that time and scolded the prince. It was Chen Ying who ascended the Great Lord and advised His Majesty... It was a pity that our detailed works were too low to get close to them, and we didn't hear anything he said, but since then, His Majesty returned to Tai Chi Palace!"

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "It's Chen Ying again, he has repeatedly ruined the good things of our Qin Prince's Mansion!"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "You don't think about it carefully, from the perspective of Mr. Chen, what can he do? Taking action to save the King of Qin, help the prince to rescue the siege, and suppress this matter, is the best solution!"

Lei Yongji pointed to the scars on Li Shimin's body and said, "Look at the wound on the king's body, why did this help the king? This is to kill the king!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Lei Yongji's bruised nose and swollen face, sighed slowly and stopped talking.

Li Shimin looked at the injuries on his body and had another headache. He was just about to speak.

Du Yan said: "From General Chen's style of conduct, he has always adhered to his duties and never surpassed them. Moreover, he has never intervened in the battle for the throne. What I worry most is not that he does not help the king, but that he completely surrenders to the prince."

Hou Junji was stunned.

Du Ruhui explained: "He is a chief general of the court. Once he is used by the prince, the overall situation will become extremely unfavorable to us. As long as he remains neutral, we can solve the problems in Chang'an City by ourselves. If we can not offend, we will not offend. Once General Chen forces us to turn against us, it will be a disaster for our Qin Palace!"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "Even if Chen Ying remains neutral, the two will not help each other, but once... at that time, if His Majesty or the Prince transfers Zuowu's army to guard the guards, he will definitely obey the order!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "The most powerful thing about Chen Ying is training troops. Now the Zuowu Guardian is still in his hands for a short time. Once he is trained for three or five months, the Zuowu Guardian will definitely be reborn and become the elite among the elite!"

When Li Shimin talked about this, all the generals were even more confused.

Because once this happens, they have no chance of winning. However, the Zuowu Guardian is still in charge of the public security and defense of Chang'an City. Once that time comes, I'm afraid that they have just taken action, Chen Ying can lead the Zuowu Guardian to take them down in one fell swoop.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said slowly: "King, since General Chen cannot win over, why not let him go?"

"Release out?" Li Shimin was stunned, then reacted, and he pondered: "This is also a good idea!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Forget it these days. After a while, the king will go to the palace to mention this matter to His Majesty. As long as you tell His Majesty that the tiger should not be locked in a cage, His Majesty should agree to Chen Ying's release. Even if he cannot release it from the Western Regions, at least he should be allowed to replace Li Shiji and become the Great Protector of Anton!"

Cheng Zhiji nodded and said, "Even if the Zuowu General Hou Guard asked Li Shiji to do it, he would be better than Chen Ying. At least Li Shiji has a connection to use his troops!"

Du Yan smiled and said, "No hurry at this time. The first place for the king to start is to go to Tai Chi Palace in person to verify whether there is any falsehood in this map. After all, this map has been from more than 30 years ago!"

Li Shimin nodded.

...

Since Qin King Li Shimin was "poisoned" and vomited blood and fell into a coma during a night banquet in the East Palace, Li Yuan unexpectedly did not deal with anyone, but just removed the surveillance of Li Shimin and the interrogation of Zhang Liang.

On the surface, the Tang Dynasty's struggle for the throne fell into temporary calm, but people with discerning eyes knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon, and there was undercurrent in secret!

However, all this has nothing to do with Chen Ying, because Chen Ying has returned to the Qinglin to busy the New Year.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no saying that the Spring Festival was celebrated, and unconvention had long been formed.

This is also the sixth Spring Festival when Chen Ying came to the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the only festival that Chen Ying did not spend in the military camp.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty called the New Year "Yuanzheng" and the New Year's Day (it was the first day of the first lunar month, not the first day of the Gregorian calendar).

The dust removal day is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. The so-called "dust sweeping" is the year-end cleaning, and every household cleans the spider webs and cleans them.

Of course, as a wealthy family like Chen Ying, the so-called "dust sweeping" is actually a symbolic job. After all, there are so many servants and servants at home. If there are spider webs or dust at home, I am afraid that the inner and outer courtyards will commit suicide in shame.

Chen Ying got up early in the morning and started cleaning with other ordinary families, including Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, Shentian Huayin and Chen Ying's four concubines. They all wore hoodies, gloves, brooms and dustpans.

Even Li Siye and Chen Qian pretended to behave, holding a small toy broom, followed behind everyone, struggling and struggling.

Li Xiuning is very enthusiastic about housekeeping. The key is that she is now full of belly, so how dare Chen Ying let her climb high and low? Chen Ying became Li Xiuning's full-time nanny, taking one step at a time.

Li Xiuning sighed: "You must not be lazy. Once you are lazy, you will be ruined. In the past, I was very diligent. Whether it was in the Duke of Tang in Chang'an City or the mansion in Taiyuan City, I cleaned it myself, especially my father's study, but now..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiuning showed a helpless smile and said, "Not to mention managing the mansion, even Chenjiabao has not had time to see the grass and trees here clearly!"

Chen Ying's eyes were always paying attention to the two guys Li Siye and Chen Qian.

Now the age of the two is the age when people hate ghosts, they are lively and active, and lawless.

Sure enough, just when Li Xiuning was filled with emotion, Chen Ying suddenly ran away.

When Li Xiuning came to her senses, she found that there were no listeners around her.

At this time, Chen Qian fell to the ground and cried loudly.

In fact, Chen Qian was not hurt at all now, and his crying was just to attract adult attention.

Chen Ying said calmly: "Qian'er, a man is a real man who is bleeding but not crying!"
