Chapter 272 Li Shimin, do you want to kill the regency or the father

"Chen Ying!" This name suddenly appeared in Li Shimin's mind, and Chen Ying's indifferent smile.

Li Shimin swore that if he had the chance, he really wanted to smash Chen Ying's handsome face. Originally, Li Shimin was one of the few young heroes in Chang'an City, handsome and elegant, but since Chen Ying appeared, he, the number one handsome man in Chang'an, could no longer be handsome, and could only be ranked second. The key is that everyone in the world remembers the first. If you ask the world's top peak, 90% of people know it is Mount Everest, but if you ask the second peak, most people probably can't answer it.

Because Chen Ying is more handsome than Li Shimin, this made Li Shimin very dissatisfied. This is not the most depressing person. What is most depressing is that he could have become the invincible general who was influential to the Tang Dynasty. The soldiers of the Tang army believed in and the war god in their hearts, but Chen Ying stole his limelight.

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Yes, Princess Pingyang is ill. On New Year's Eve, Your Majesty will definitely issue a grace order to summon him to Tai Chi Palace to stay up to the New Year."

Cheng Zhijie smiled disapprovingly and said, "So what about Chen Ying? As long as he dares to go and clean up together, can he really have three heads and six arms?"

"Chen Ying naturally has no three heads and six arms. He is also a mortal fetus. He will hurt if he is injured, and he will die if his head falls off!" Du Yanze smiled bitterly and said, "Have you ever thought about why Kan Ling surrendered tens of thousands of chaos in the Jianghuai Army alone? That's because Kan Ling established an invincible image in the Jianghuai Army. Anyone of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army knows that Kan Ling is Du Fuwei's adopted son, and he also knows that he is the most powerful general of the Jianghuai Army. As long as he appears, it means victory, and hostility with him means defeat! Therefore, no one dares to aim his weapons at Kan Ling with tens of thousands of Jianghuai Army soldiers!"

In the era of cold weapons, the general's personal charm and reputation were very strong. The facts allowed Kan Ling not only to let down his old subordinates and surrender, but even the enemy could not rise up to resist. For example, Xue Rengui, the general of the Zuo Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty, made great achievements throughout his life, and created the reputation of subduing Goguryeo and seizing the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows. Even with the defeat of Dafeichuan, his invincible reputation was still not reduced.

In the first year of Yongchun (682), Ashide Yuanzhen, the surrendered tribe of the Shanyu Protectorate (now northwest of Helinger, Inner Mongolia), defected to Ashinagu Dulu, who claimed to be a Turkic Khan. Ashide Yuanzhen invaded Bingzhou (now Taiyuan, Shanxi) and the northern border of the Shanyu Protectorate, and invaded Yunzhou. Xue Rengui was ordered to fight.

Xue Rengui took off his helmet and went to see them. When the Turks looked carefully, they were shocked, and they all got off their horses and lined up to bow, and gradually fled. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to pursue, defeated the Turkic army, killed tens of thousands of people, captured more than 20,000 (one for 30,000), seized more than 30,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep, and won the great victory in Yunzhou.

When Du Yan said this, Cheng Zhijie suddenly became silent.

Although Cheng Zhijie is not inferior to Chen Ying in terms of kung fu, Chen Ying is definitely more than a hundred times stronger than him. Once the Qin Prince's Mansion guardian deals with Chen Ying, except for the loyalty of Li Shimin, most soldiers would not dare to raise their swords to target Chen Ying.

Fang Xuanling continued, "King, have you forgotten that Princess Pingyang and General Chen are one, prospering and losing, and as long as Princess Pingyang raises his arms and shouts, how many young and strong will be loyal to Princess Pingyang in the entire Chang'an City?"

This is a historical problem left over from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, tens of thousands of women's soldiers were disbanded and reorganized. Most of the soldiers gained the opportunity and qualification to settle down in Chang'an because of the achievements of the Tang Dynasty. These people were Li Xiuning's old subordinates. They were full of weapons and armor in their hands, and were familiar with the teachings of the army. As long as Li Xiuning gave the order, he dared not say that there were too many in Chang'an City, and at least he could raise tens of thousands of soldiers.

Originally, Li Shimin's military strength was an absolute disadvantage. Once Chen Ying and Li Xiuningjia entered this chaos, I'm afraid Li Shimin would definitely not have a chance to succeed.

Li Shimin pondered: "If we don't take action on New Year's Eve, we must find a suitable reason to let the prince and the King of Qi enter the palace, and there is no need to increase the guard in the palace!"

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "We must find a way to create something, so that His Majesty can summon the Prince of Qi to the palace. At the same time, His Majesty cannot be vigilant, strengthen the defense of the palace, and even let His Majesty publicize this matter with great fanfare, otherwise there will be another problem and even alarm the snake."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone looked at each other, and the hall suddenly became silent.

Du Yan smiled bitterly and said, "This incident is not easy to create!"

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "On New Year's Eve, as usual, a team of people will be added to prepare a whistle in the palace, so the guards will be even more severe. You should not set the time on New Year's Eve."

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "That's true. As the saying goes, long nights and dreams are long, and there will be changes if you are late!"

Li Shimin said: "Then it will be tomorrow night. You must think about how to cause this incident!"

Everyone thought hard and suddenly sighed and complained in the hall.

At this moment, the Qin Princess Changsun Wugui came in with his maid.

Everyone quickly closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Changsun Wugui asked the maid to distribute chicken soup to the civil and military generals present.

Li Shimin looked gloomy, and Changsun Wugui suddenly spoke, "You are so talented that women cannot reach. However, women have women's methods, and it may be useful.

Everyone looked at Changsun Wugui at the same time.

Changsun Wugui said lightly: "If you report to Your Majesty secretly, in order to seize the treasure, the prince secretly had an affair with Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jie, two wives, and there was... a matter of misfortune!"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, a look of horror appeared on his face and looked at Changsun Wugui in fear.

Changsun Wugui was fearless and smiled faintly.

At this time, Changsun Wugui's words were undoubtedly like pouring a basin of cold water into a boiling oil pan, which instantly boiled.

If Li Yuan heard this news, no matter whether it was true or false, he would definitely summon Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to ask the palace clearly. At that time, Li Yuan would definitely not make a statement before the matter was clarified. Once Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were ordered to go to Tai Chi Palace, Xuanwu Gate was a must-pass place, otherwise he would need to go around half a palace city and walk half an hour to enter Tai Chi Palace from Chengtian Gate.

After solving the problem of Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng entering the palace, Li Shimin no longer hesitated. He winked at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji understood and hurriedly carried out a box.

Li Shimin waved his hand at Changsun Wuji, and after walking to the case, he looked around the audience and said loudly: "Donalds, the battle to destroy the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty is about to begin. Now I regret it, and it is still time to go back on my word. Those who do not want to follow me to take on such a serious crime of killing the nine clans can come out at this moment to express their feelings. As long as I do not report it in exchange for titles and salaries, I, Li Shimin, will never be strong."

Yuchi Jingde, who was standing in the front row, shouted in a rough voice: "What are you saying about the king? Brothers have followed the king for many years. Can you share wealth and honor, and go your own way in times of hardship?"

Hou Junji turned around and faced the generals and said, "When Xue Renguo besieged Gaojin Camp, did the King of Qin leave you and escape alone?

Duan Zhixuan and others responded loudly: "No!"

Hou Junji continued: "Under Luoyang City, the army's rations were exhausted, Dou Jiande's 200,000 troops approaching Huzhu, has the King of Qin left you and escaped alone?"

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others responded loudly: "No!"

Yuchi Jingde chuckled and said, "Happy, this is the brother who fought on the battlefield!"

Hou Junji turned to face Li Shimin and said, "King, you have never left your brothers to escape alone on the battlefield outside the pass. Of course, you will not abandon the king and leave on the battlefield inside the pass!"

Li Shimin raised his left hand and swore, "They will not abandon me, Li Shimin, and leave today. After the matter is completed, wealth and honor will be shared with him. The people present today, regardless of civil and military affairs, will not be granted titles or titles or Dukes, and their fiefs will not be less than 500 households."

Everyone knelt down and shouted: "Long live the King of Qin!"

Confidence and perseverance appeared on Li Shimin's face. He lifted up the box hard, took out a military talisman, and shouted loudly: "Gao Shilian!"

Gao Shilian stepped out of the line and clasped his fists and said, "I am here!"

"The key to the operation tomorrow night is Xuanwu Gate!" Li Shimin said with a fierce look on his face: "You lead the five hundred royal family troops to respond near Fanglin Gate. If you see Xuanwu Gate in danger, immediately reinforce. If the place is safe, you will remain silent and wait for your next order."

Gao Shilian said in a deep voice: "My memory, accept the order!"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan again and said, "Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan!"

Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan are out of the list.

Li Shimin took out a few silk manuscripts that had been written and handed them to Fang Xuanling. He shouted in a deep voice: "This is the authorization of you to take over the documents of the Ten Guards of the Southern Ya and the Three Inner Courts. The Seal of the Shangshu Province and the Generals of the Right and Twelve Guards. With Xuanling as the leader and Duan Zhixuan as the auxiliary, he led 500 guards of the royal palace and 300 Xuanjia's personal troops. The second update of the morning night, leaving Yong'anmen, at the third update of the latest, the military preparations of the three guards of the three guards must be removed and cut off.

The inner court's political affairs hall, the contact with the outside world, control the seal of the Shangshu, the Zhongshu, and the three subordinates. At around the fifth day of tomorrow, the auxiliary ministers will gather in the political affairs hall. No matter what, you must keep them, and at the same time, you cannot hurt them. This matter is crucial to the court and the country, and there is no possibility of any mistake. Therefore, all actions should be followed by Xuanling's arrangements and dispatches. Everything, no matter how big or small, must be asked for instructions first and then implemented. Do you understand?"

Duan Zhixuan said: "The last general will take the order!"

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Zhang Liang, Lei Yongji!"

Zhang Liang and Lei Yongji are out of the list.

Li Shimin said: "You each lead three hundred royal guards to monitor the Eastern Palace and Qi Mansion. If there is no movement, you will not move. If they come out in full and support Xuanwu Gate, you can quickly report to General Chang He, and then send troops immediately to attack the Palace Mansion. You cannot let the Eastern Palace, and a clerk escape from the Qi Mansion."

Hou Junji, Zhang Liang: "The last general will receive the order!"

Li Shimin said: "Du Ruhui!"

Du Ruhui came out and said, "I am here!"

Li Shimin said: "A battle tomorrow night is related to the Tang Dynasty, the rise and fall of the country, and the fortune of the ancestral temples. It also connects me, Li Shimin, the whole mansion, men, women, young, and the family of the generals. The Qin Palace is our old camp, and the old camp cannot be lost. Your duty is to lead the 300 royal palace guards, protect the Western Palace, protect the family of brothers, and my wife, children, and my Li Shimin's wife, children, and the old and young. All the big and small things in the royal palace are ruled and implemented by Du Ruhui, and no one can violate it. From the beginning of leaving the palace, from the princess to the soldiers and tragic services, they are under the control of Lord Du. Do you understand?"

Du Ruhui bowed his hand.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "There are too few troops, so it is easy to use."

Du Ruhui said: "I should do my best!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind. The voice was filled with a strong anger and said with an angry look on his face: "The king looks down on me, Hou Mo Chenxu?"

Li Shimin looked in the voice, and saw Hou Mo Chenxu looking at Li Shimin angrily.

Although Hou Mo Chenxu and Hou Mo Chen are cousins, let alone cousins, even brothers are their own masters. For example, Duan Zhixuan and his brother Duan Zhigan, although they belong to the Eastern Palace and the Qin Palace, Li Shimin still believes in Duan Zhixuan. Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Zhang Liang and Lei Yongji have fewer troops. Du Ruhui handed over the three hundred Qin Palace guards to Zhang Liang. I will entrust you to Hou Mo Chenxu. Once the matter is done, you will be the title of Duke Liang!"

Hou Mo Chenxu was overjoyed and said, "There are eight hundred ministers here with the wolf soldiers. Unless they step on the body of the last general, no one can rush into the Qin Palace!"

Li Shimin continued: "Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, you follow me. Mingye enters the imperial city from Xuanwu Gate before the palace gate falls. After that, whether the Qin King's Mansion will go to the underworld or share wealth depends on our success or failure!"

...

Since Chen Ying taught Li Yuan mahjong, Li Yuan went away from Chen Ying's ivory mahjong when he returned to the city. In desperation, Chen Ying only had someone to carve dozens of mahjong with big fruits of red sandalwood. This big fruits of red sandalwood is the Huanghuali in later generations. Chen Ying had seen his boss's coffee table in later generations. It is said that a Huanghuali tea table is worth a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

When Feng Ang surrendered to Li Yuan, he sent people to transport a large amount of wealth, including dozens of precious southern beads, jade, ivory, rubies, sapphires, etc. Among them, hundreds of large-fruit red sandalwood, almost two thousand materials, were thrown at the Dianke Office without any attention.

In fact, Huanghuali wood became very popular very late, around the middle and late Qing Dynasty, that is, Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, and later it became more and more popular, becoming more and more expensive.

Chen Ying effortlessly got these two thousand large-fruit red sandalwood from Dianke Office. At the beginning, he didn't think about what furniture to build, and now it is just for carving mahjong.

The mahjong of Daguozi is just built here, and Chen Shuda sent a manager to buy a pair of 4,000 guan.

Pei Ji was even more ruthless and bought four pairs of mahjong directly with 10,000 yuan.

From then on, mahjong became a new game for the aristocratic class.

However, it is easy to buy mahjong and the imitation speed is very fast. In just a few days, mahjong made of bamboo, jade, and even bone and copper-tin alloy have appeared in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

On the night of the 26th day of the 12th lunar month of the sixth year of Wude, Li Yuan pulled his old gay friend Pei Ji, the Secretariat Yu Wenshi and the Secretariat Feng Lun played mahjong in the Wude Hall. Although Li Yuan was a beginner, he had the eunuchs who helped cheat, and almost got good cards, winning Pei Ji and Feng Lun.

The key is that Li Yuan’s card luck is so good, either the sixty-fourth or the thirty-twoth, and the last time is also the sixteenth. He has always been a bad card.

Li Yuan touched three times in a row, and regarded Feng Lun as his pants.

Feng Lun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the palace gate is about to be locked. I will say goodbye!"

Li Yuan said with a stern face: "Feng Qing, Pei San, don't go back. Anyway, there are places in the palace for you to live in!"

Yu Wenhe said: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

"What rules!" Li Yuan said unhappily: "My words are rules... Play cards!"

Pei Ji and Yu Wenhua and smiled bitterly in addition to laughing bitterly.

At this moment, an eunuch covered his head and ran into the hall without falling. Before he could speak, Li Yuan cursed at the head: "What kind of discipline, are there any rules?"

The little eunuch didn't say anything, and Li Yuan was slightly stunned.

At this time, behind the little eunuch, Li Shimin walked into Wude Hall with his sword in a big stride. Li Shimin's expression was angry, and the blue veins appeared on his forehead, and his right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

Li Yuan took two steps back, leaving the reaction distance of the left supervisor guard, looking at Li Shimin coldly, Li Yuan yelled in fear: "You come into the hall, neither polite nor kneel down, holding a sword in your hand, and murderous intent is soaring! What do you want to do? Do you feel that your wings are hard and your status is high, and your old father has become you, a hundred feet tall, and you have a further stumbling block. You want to move this stone away, kill the lord, and Shi's father?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan with a bright look and said, "Dad, as the saying goes, there are unfilial sons in the world, but there is no bad father. Since you want your son to die, how can your son disobey? This sword was personally rated by you when I was crowned king. Now I have brought it. If you want to kill me, you should use this sword!"
