Chapter 39 Today I will give you a great fortune

Li Jing sat in the carriage, looking at the red mud stove in the carriage, and steam was rising from the stove at this time. Li Jing was very surprised why Chen Ying gave him the position of Marshal of the Northern Expedition to him. In terms of prestige, Chen Ying was the first person in the Tang army. He fought against the Turks six times in succession, but there was no sign of defeat. In the Western Expedition to the Western Regions, it took less than three years to manage the Western Regions into Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

If you think from the perspective of others, Li Jing would never give up the position of Marshal Ma of the North Conscript. Although destroying his country in one battle can make his ministers at the peak and he is at risk of his own safety, as long as he can keep his name in history, why should he cherish this?

Li Jing couldn't understand why Chen Ying gave up this position. According to the relationship between Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng, even if the Turks were destroyed, what was wrong with Chen Ying? At most, he would be idle, but once there was another war in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Ying would definitely be activated.

With all kinds of doubts, Li Jing still came to Chenjiabao. However, when he just arrived at Chenjiabao, Li Jing still lost his mind and learned that Chen Yingtian was summoned to the palace by the emperor before dawn.

Li Jing naturally thought that this was Chen Ying hiding from him.

However, a short while, a panting eunuch had his hat tilted. He arched towards Li Jing and said, "General Li, your Majesty summon him!"

Li Jing did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly rode towards Chang'an City in a carriage.

Without stopping, Li Jing quickly came to the outside of Tai Chi Palace. Under the leadership of the eunuch, Li Jing walked slowly along the corridor of the palace towards the front.

This is not the first time Li Jing has come to Tai Chi Palace. Looking at the direction led by the eunuch, it seems that it is the Tai Chi Palace Royal Neiyuan Polo Stadium. Li Tang is popular in playing polo. Whether it is Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, they are all polo masters.

Li Jing hesitated for a moment. Could it be that Li Jiancheng summoned him to play polo?

However, when turning the screen wall, Li Jing suddenly discovered that this polo court, which originally had an area of ​​more than 30 acres, had actually turned into a different appearance.

There is no trace of a polo stadium here, but it is replaced by a huge sand table of mountains, rivers and rivers. A small ditch that is ten feet wide winds across the huge polo stadium, and a huge mountain of earth rises from the ground.

Li Jing had just begun to think that since Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, he had developed wooden land and transformed the royal inner garden. However, looking at the terrain of this earthen mountain, Li Jing suddenly realized that this earthen mountain was actually Yinshan.

The small ditch is the Yellow River.

Sure enough, along the direction of the ditch, there were cities as big as a small courtyard. Without exception, these cities were all three-foot-high walls, watchtowers, women's walls, horse faces, enemy towers, stables, granaries, barracks, and government offices.

Li Jing looked at these cities that were as big as a house, and saw that the city read "Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Shengzhou, Helan Mountain, Yinshan...

Li Jing looked at all this in surprise, stunned.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Li Jing followed the "Yellow River" and crossed the "Yin Mountain". Finally, he saw Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying in a grassland. Ashinasmo beside Chen Ying pointed to the land under Li Jiancheng's feet and said: "Your Majesty, this is not like a Turkic tent, here..."

As he said that, Ashinasmo walked to the southeast of Li Jiancheng and stepped out a small tunnel with his feet: "This place is called Huaerhai (Haijihu), and Huaerhai is stationed in Fuli Army..."

Li Jing looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, how long did it take to get these things?"

Li Jiancheng chuckled softly and said, "Nine months ago, since I became the emperor, I have been ordering people to renovate Beiyuan and turn it into what it is now."

Chen Ying and Li Jing looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "Now that this place has been built, I ordered people to strictly guard and strengthen guards. Even if it is the prime minister, they cannot enter here, because what is hidden here is the highest level of military secrets of our Tang Dynasty."

Li Jiancheng stood on the "Yinshan" and looked down at the entire Beiyuan, saying proudly: "I want to set up a plan to destroy the Turkic wolf species here."

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Jing and said, "General Li, can I get my wish?"

Li Jing did not answer Li Jiancheng's question directly, but turned to Chen Ying and said, "The pharmacist is confused, so please ask General Chen to solve the doubts..."

Chen Ying said without comment: "General Li wants to ask why this general wants to give up the position of Marshal Ma in the North to recruit troops?"

Li Jing nodded.

Chen Ying burst out laughing: "General Li wants to hear the truth, or is he lies?"

Li Jing said: "What about the truth? So what about the lies?"

Chen Ying smiled and said, "People are more important to know themselves. Those who know themselves know clearly. Chen is a general, not a general. Not everyone can be a marquis of Huaiyin. The same is true for Chen. Chen can be a general and stand alone, but he has no ability to plan a country!"

Li Jing suddenly realized.

Li Jing then turned around and said to Li Jiancheng: "I request an order to use General Chen as the Grand Marshal of the Western Army, and lead the three towns of Anxi and Liangzhou Town to a total of four towns to send troops at the end of the month!"

Li Jiancheng said with some surprise: "So fast?"

Li Jing said solemnly: "Decisive battles within the territory can certainly reduce transportation costs, but once the battle is final, it will definitely lose countless acres and cities in our Tang Dynasty, so it is better to spend military funds than to fight abroad!"

...

Although no one came forward, all the officials still surrounded the office of the Shangshu Provincial Government and were unwilling to leave. However, at this moment, an elderly official trembled and separated the crowd and walked to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng frowned.

Fang Xuanling said: "Who is his surname? Where did he take office? What are the injustices?"

The older official was furious and pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xuancheng, you fucking bad guys do this!"

Fang Xuanling emphasized, "Who is the surname? Where to take office? What are the injustices? If you want to seek justice, just make it clear one by one. If you don't want to say it, please go back."

The elderly official was so angry that his hands and feet were trembling, and pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xuancheng, Wu Shirong, 66 years old, is a member of the Central Army and the Minister of Rites in the East Palace. What I want to ask is, why did the court remove me from my official position?"

Wei Zheng took out a document and put it in front of Wu Shirong and said, "Duke Wu, you are an old minister of Yuan Cong in Taiyuan and have made great contributions. Since joining the Eastern Palace, you have been diligent, never corrupt, and never betray the law for personal gain."

Wu Shirong arrogantly knocked on the case: "Then why did I dismiss me?"

Wei Zheng sneered: "Duke Wu has been in the Eastern Palace since the fifth year of Wude. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Duke Wu took office as the Minister of the Honglu. However, since he took office, Duke Wu has only been to the Honglu Temple once. Duke Wu also called himself sick in the morning court. The court set up the Minister of the Honglu, the Four Barbarians to pay tribute, banquets, gifts, and welcomes the affairs of the country, and the corruption of the country, Zhongdu Temple, and the ban on the Taoist and Historical Accounts were all attributed to him. Under his responsibilities, Duke Wu, after his title of Prime Minister a few days ago, should you come forward and issue a condolence edict on behalf of the court?"

Wu Shirong's expression was tense and he couldn't say a word.

Wei Zheng said: "Where was Duke Wu at that time? The court had three provinces and six ministries, and there were serious redundant staff. One department had three or four officials who were actually short of them. As an old minister of the Eastern Palace, why could not share the worries of Your Majesty? Why couldn't he set an example?"

After a long time, Wu Shirong slowly turned around and left.

Fang Xuanlinggao said in a loud voice: "Who else wants to seek justice?"

Just when Wu Shirong left, a minor official, after being hinted by Wei Zheng, quickly took a document and took two steps at a time to catch up with Wu Shirong.

Wu Shirong looked at the little official with anger and said, "Even you dare to laugh at me?"

"Mr. Wu, please forgive me!"

The minor official handed the document to Wu Shirong.

Wu Shirong slowly opened it and glanced at it quickly.

Wu Shirong's eyes were already straight.

It says that Wu Shirong's eldest son Wu Dazhi and second son Wu Dayong sacrificed his life for the country. Wu Shirong was a martyr in the dynasty and could enjoy a total of 200 acres of pension land, which was exempted for 20 years. After Wu Shirong was retired, he could enjoy a pension of 30 yuan per year...

Seeing this scene, Wu Shirong howled and cried, crying bitterly while slapped himself in the mouth. "Your Majesty, the old minister is not a human being,... Your Majesty, the old minister blames you wrongly!"

In fact, among the old ministers who were dismissed, such as Wu Shirong, because of their poor family background or because of their merits and disabilities, such as Zhao Wenke and others, they all received pensions or pensions from the court. Although these incomes were not as good as their official salary, for them, it was undoubtedly a long time to drought and dew.

In the palace of Hejian, when the lights are on, the sound of silk and bamboo sounds, the singer wearing a veil can start her teeth and sing with the music: "Welcome outside, welcome outside. The grass and trees are withered, and the tears are clear on the railings. A golden wind passes, and the fallen leaves fill the atrium. Thinking about the man goes away, but he has never returned, and he is drifting outside. I look forward to the return journey, and he is looking forward to the return journey. The autumn night is hard to end, and the autumn boudoir is deserted. The autumn moon is hazy, and the autumn insects are like golden bells. Outside the cool autumn window, the autumn wind sweeps the window frame. Thinking about the family goes away, but he is drifting outside..."

Li Xiaogong lay comfortably on the soft couch, two palace maids gently massaged his legs, and a beautiful woman in the palace poured wine for Li Xiaogong with a leather cup.

The so-called leather cup is the mouth. A beautiful woman first drinks the wine into her mouth, and then mouth to mouth... Well, this tune is a bit heavy, and most people really can't enjoy it.

At this moment, the manager said, "King, the Prince of Yi'an is asking for a meeting!"

Lee Hyo-gong said: "No see!"

The manager turned around and left. When he reached the door, Li Xiaogong said, "Take him here!"

Li Xiaogong waved at the beautiful woman beside her. The beautiful woman understood Li Xiaogong's meaning and immediately lay in Li Xiaogong's arms.

Soon, my clothes were gone.

When the manager led Li Xiaochang to the hall, a erotic and indescribable scene was being staged. Li Xiaochang was immediately embarrassed. He was not leaving, nor was he stayed.

After a while, Li Xiaogong looked at Li Xiaochang who had been struggling for a long time and still stepped into the hall, then waved his hand to signal the beautiful woman to leave.

Li Xiao smiled respectfully and said, "What kind of fragrant wind is this that blows the Prince of Yi'an?"

Li Xiaochang also smiled and said, "Did the Prince of Hejian also learn from the Supreme Emperor? He listened to Zen sayings, "Don't he be aware of the sufferings of fireworks in the world, close the door and enjoy yourself at home?"

Li Xiaogong reached out to signal Li Xiaochang to sit down. He said lightly: "The Prince of Yi'an was joking. A martial artist in a certain family didn't have a few drops of ink in their stomachs. He fought and killed for half his life. He just wanted to be safe and stable, but he still lived."

Li Xiaochang said earnestly: "The Prince of Hejian is thinking well, but if you want to be in peace with the world, the court will not let you go."

Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "Even if the court is in chaos, it is the people of the Li family who are the emperor. What kind of disaster can I have as a royal prince?"

Li Xiaochang looked at Li Xiaogong without taking a trap, so he leaned over and touched Li Xiaogong's face and said, "You can't say that. If you don't have a long-term plan, you will have immediate worries. If your lips are dead, your teeth will be cold. If all the relatives of the Li family were eliminated by the court, can the prince of Hejian be safe alone?"

Li Xiaochang must have not rinsed his mouth and was very strong. Li Xiaogong could accept that his concubine was badly slutty, but he couldn't stand Li Xiaochang's heavy tone. However, Li Xiaogong did not show a look of disgust, but instead laughed and said, "How is this possible?"

Li Xiaochang sighed and said earnestly: "Xiaogong, your Prince Zhao has become Prince Hejian Prince. Don't you care? You destroyed Nanliang and quelled the Jianghuai Rebellion."

The smile on Li Xiaogong's face immediately disappeared.

When Li Xiaochang saw Li Xiaogong's face changed, he said in his heart: "Recently, not only the Li family members, but also the entire Li family have been reduced to their titles and their ranks and their ranks and their ranks have been demoted. Almost all the Guanzhong clans have been driven out of the court. Who can know what else will happen next?"

Li Xiaogong stared at his feet and said, "So what can I do? The one who is sitting on the Danmu is no longer the Supreme Emperor."

Li Xiaochang coughed and said, "Xiao Gong, I have a few heartfelt words, look..."

Li Xiaogong waved his hand to signal the maids, singers, musicians, and managers next to him to go out.

After only two people were left in the living room, Li Xiaochang leaned into Li Xiaogong's ear and whispered: "Do you want to invite Your Majesty back?"

Li Xiaogong was suddenly shocked and said, "Which Majesty?"

Li Xiaochang suddenly looked unhappy.

Li Xiaogong suddenly realized, "You mean the Supreme Emperor?"

Li Xiaochang nodded and said, "How is that possible?"

Li Xiaochang asked back, "How could that be impossible?"
To be continued...
