Chapter Twenty-Six: A Woman Who Looks Like Her Eldest Grandson

Niu Junda looked at everyone with an embarrassed face, and said with some disapproval: "Fang joined the army, this is too sensational, right?" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a serious face: "Now in Chang'an, which one is the most powerful?" ”

Qin Qiong said lightly: "Then you don't need to say, Guanzhong clan." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Fang Xuanling looked at everyone with a solemn face: "This time, the officials from the Guanzhong clan are eliminated, and there is only one stop left in ten stops. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling said again: "The officials in the court, who has the hardest background?"

Niu Junda said: "Naturally, he is the old minister of Taiyuan Yuancong. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "Since Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Yu Wenshi have not been in good shape. ”

Xie Yingdeng whispered: "There are also the Li family's relatives, who were also demoted this time. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "You all know, and you are not stupid...... Now you are no longer a robber of Wagang, nor a vassal of the Qin Palace, but a civil and military official of the Tang Dynasty, and Fang Xuanling is no longer the army of the Qin Palace, the long history of the Tiance Mansion, but the courtier of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The more Fang Xuanling spoke, the more terrifying it became, and everyone's faces were gloomy.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Now that the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, the Qin Wangfu has become a cloud of smoke, but what about you, still running in tandem in the name of the Qin Wangfu and reaching His Majesty's ears, what will he think?" Don't you want all your glory and riches? Still want to move your head? ”

The crowd looked at each other in amazement.

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "The public office is the center, the gentleman is not fighting, and the group is not the party!" ”

Qin Qiong bowed down and saluted Fang Xuanling and said, "Qin is taught!" ”

Fang Xuanling looked at everyone's sincere and frightened looks, his tone slowly softened, and said: "Of course, Your Majesty is empty, you don't have to mind!" ”

Fang Xuanling gave Lu Shi a look, and Lu Shi hurriedly beckoned the maids to start serving.

……

Li Jing was dressed in bright armor and slowly entered the Hall of Virtue. Li Jiancheng looked Li Jing up and down very seriously.

Li Jing bowed and saluted Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Don't be a few years, don't come to the pharmacist without harm?" ”

Li Jing said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, Li Jing's old bones have not been able to be thrown to the Turks to feed the wolves for the time being." ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Jing laughed.

After a long time, Li Jiancheng beckoned Li Jing to sit down. Monarchs and ministers sit opposite each other.

Li Jiancheng said lightly: "Okay, let's get to the point, these days, I have been thinking that the Turks, a strong enemy in the north, will never be at peace on the border of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Jing nodded: "Your Majesty Shengming!" As the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore, the Turks will not die, and the Tang Dynasty will never have peace! ”

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Don't say such flattering words to me, I listen awkwardly." ”

Li Jing couldn't help but smile deeper.

Li Jiancheng muttered: "Hanping Huns, experienced Gao, Hui, Wen, Jing, four generations of emperors, lying on the salary and tasting courage for more than 60 years, I am afraid I can't wait that long, like now, the Turks enter the army every year, and the court prepares for the border every year, when is it an end of the game?" Some people in the Xiangguo hold the idea of harmony, I don't want to take it, the men of the Tang Dynasty are incompetent, and let women take on the big responsibility, there is no reason for this. I'd like to hear your opinion on this matter! ”

Li Jing bowed and said: "The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is different from the battle to unify the world. What my Datang is trying to do is not to annex land and recruit people, but to fundamentally break and annihilate its powerful military power and curb its ability to conduct large-scale wars. Although this is the goal, it is not easy to achieve this strategic goal without a fundamental war. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the Turkic point of view.

Although Chen Ying adopted the method of combining the hook and sickle spear with the Mo sword army and strong crossbowmen, he could win more with less and eliminate the Turks. However, there was a prerequisite for this, and that was that the Turks were willing to fight the Tang army. And right now, the Turks are afraid of Chen Ying like a tiger, and as long as they hear Chen Ying's name, they immediately retreat. It is easy for Chen Ying to defeat the Turks now, but it is too difficult to destroy the Turks once and for all.

Li Jing said slowly: "The war is ultimately a contest between the enemy and the enemy, and the minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to rectify the country's farming, increase grain reserves, and at the same time greatly revitalize the horse administration, so as to lay the foundation for the establishment of a strong cavalry corps that will deter Yunei." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Yes!" Right...... Before the start of the war, it is necessary to use it uninterruptedly, stirring up and down the situation, adding fuel to the fire, there are many Turkic tribes, and there are endless internal strife, as long as the civil war continues, no matter who it is, it will not have the ability to invade the south alone. With the passage of time, my Datang is getting stronger and stronger, and the Turks are getting weaker and weaker, and when the time is ripe, it only takes a disaster like that in Guanzhong this year to be able to teach the eighteen Turkic tribes to fall into a desperate situation of all kinds of difficulties. At that time, the imperial court sent a general, led tens of thousands of cavalry, north out of the Great Wall, deep into the enemy's territory, and attacked Dingxiang from afar, then the battle of Longcheng in the former Han Dynasty will be repeated. “

Li Jianchenghuo stood up and stared at Li Jing with blazing eyes.

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Before that, the minister thought that he should judge the situation and first remove the nail of Liang Shidu and include Xiazhou in the imperial court territory, so that my iron cavalry from the Tang Dynasty to the north will have a stable old camp." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, clenched his fists a few times, and finally let go, he turned around the place twice with his hands behind his back, and said: "Liang Shidu, it's not a trouble, just need a holy decree, the Gyeongju Governor's Mansion and the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion will fight from the north to the south, at most more than a month, you can capture Liang Shidu to Chang'an City, it's just ...... Three years, within three years, the imperial court ...... There will be no ...... Farm tax revenue! ”

Li Jing squinted his eyes.

Li Jiancheng said: "Within three years, our Datang will not have the ability to use troops against the Turks......"

Li Jing nodded silently, looking at Li Jiancheng, who was unusually calm, with some surprise.

However, at this moment, Li Jiancheng said: "I want you to take over as the secretary of the military department, secretly take over the generalissimo of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and preside over the preparation of the war against the Turks." ”

Li Jing said awe-inspiringly: "It is not difficult to prepare, but the minister must know, what is the purpose of this war?" Why fight? How far do you have to fight to collect troops? ”

Li Jiancheng lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head, looked directly at Li Jing and said, "Destroy the country!" ”

Li Jing was in awe, and said deeply to Li Jiancheng: "Minister, dare not obey your orders!" It's just that once it is a war to dump the country, there are not a few soldiers and horses to be used, and the imperial court has no agricultural tax revenue for three years, so what will this battle be fought? ”

Li Jiancheng said: "The Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate has secretly reserved 4.4 million stone of military rations, 320,000 military horses, and a total of 62 Zhichong Mansions of the six armies in the three towns of Beiting, Qiuci, and Shule, totaling 93,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "This is not enough, far from enough!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Andong Duhufu Yingzhou Town, Pinglu Town, Heishui Town, Bohai Town, Raole Town, a total of five towns and one army, forty-four Zhichong Mansions, a total of 66,000 soldiers and horses, 200,000 military horses, and 2.8 million stone of military rations!" ”

Li Jing set off a storm in his heart.

He vaguely guessed Li Jiancheng's huge handiwork. At present, Guanzhong has suffered a huge drought, this is an indisputable fact, Wude is destined to be a dead harvest in seven years, Li Jiancheng is also unknown how to harvest now in the first year of Kaiyuan, the key is that Li Jiancheng actually prepared such a large amount of materials in such a short period of time, more than six million stone military rations, more than 500,000 war horses.

Li Jiancheng then said: "The Hedong Governor's Mansion, the Hebei Governor's Mansion, the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, and the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion have four governor's mansions and twelve armies, a total of 189 Zhichong Mansion, 269,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Li Jing bowed down and saluted Li Jiancheng: "The minister will destroy his country!" ”

……

Chen Jiabao, Chen Ying looked at the report from the Western Regions and was dizzy. Historically, Li Shimin formed the Weishui Alliance, and then spent four years recuperating and finally destroying the Turks in one fell swoop.

However, in this time and space, due to Li Jiancheng's layout of the Western Regions and Liaodong in advance, the family background of the Li Tang Dynasty is much thicker than in history, especially the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, which are more than 6 million stone grains and 500,000 war horses, which is not a small amount.

Of course, because of Chen Ying's problem of running the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty can recruit at least 100,000 servant troops in the Western Regions to participate in this Beifu operation, of course, it is definitely not possible to expect these servant troops to fight tough battles, but once they are allowed to participate in the battle to exterminate the remnants, they will be more ferocious than wolves.

Chen Ying's role at this time was the logistics general office of the Western Route Army, not only responsible for the logistics of the Western Regions Army, but also the logistics of the Liangzhou Army.

These tasks were not easy, when Chen Ying was busy, it was already late at night, and when Chen Ying dragged his tired body back to the bedroom, he saw that the light was actually on in the bedroom.

Li Xiuning was sitting in front of the dresser, embroidering the baby's clothes with stitches and threads.

Chen Ying walked up to Li Xiuning and touched Li Xiuning with his arm

Li Xiuning ignored Chen Ying and continued the needlework in his hands.

Chen Ying walked to the edge of the bed alone and sat down, only to find a pot of hot tea at the head of the bed.

Chen Ying glanced at Li Xiuning's back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Ying picked up the teapot and drank it bitterly.

Chen Ying walked to Li Xiuning's side again, sat down beside her, shook his body, and bumped into her again.

Li Xiuning took a breath, her delicate eyebrows immediately widened, and she raised the needle in her hand to Chen Ying threateningly.

Chen Ying smiled and symbolically dodged: "Sanniang, what's wrong?" Why did I you off? ”

Li Xiuning glared at Chen Ying, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at his pale face and tired demeanor, he gradually lost the momentum just now, Li Xiuning put down the needle and thread, and said, "Give you a chance to explain, say it!" ”

Chen Ying shrugged his shoulders and grinned, "What did you say?" ”

Li Xiuning picked up the needle again, and raised Chen Ying's protest as if he said: "Don't be sloppy with me!" ”

Chen Ying said aggrievedly: "I really don't know, what do you want me to say?" ”

Chen Ying lay on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "You pierce it, if you pierce it, I can feel better, just pierce it!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying's tired face, her heart softened, and she dropped the needle again.

Chen Ying lay on the bed and reached out to press his headache head.

Li Xiuning knelt behind him and massaged Chen Ying's temples.

Chen Ying's voice was a little hoarse and said: "It's not that I don't understand, you said that you were talking about Guanyin, I really have nothing to do with her!" ”

If the heart is not right, it will always be a woman's patent. Chen Ying didn't understand that the eldest grandson Wujian was originally pushed to Chen Ying by Li Xiuning, but Chen Ying really didn't eat her.

Just a pure hug made Li Xiuning want to prick him with a needle, if he really did something, it is estimated that Li Xiuning will not take a needle, but a sword, or a knife!

Li Xiuning suddenly looked out of the door and said, "Yue'er! ”

He Yue'er bowed down and said, "What does the princess command?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "Tell the outside world that the eldest grandson died violently, you go and arrange it!" ”

He Yue'er nodded and said, "The slave understands!" ”

Li Xiuning said solemnly: "Do it beautifully, send the body to Luoyang Thunderbolt Hall, and let the eldest grandson bury himself!" ”

He Yue'er turned around and left.

Chen Ying opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiuning puzzled, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "She is dead, and now there is only one woman in our house who looks like the eldest grandson Wuji!" ”

Chen Ying pointed at Li Xiuning and said, "You are covering your ears and stealing the bell, deceiving yourself." ”

Li Xiuning's hand paused slowly and said, "Our family is also a big family with names and surnames in Chang'an!" ”

Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "Just our big family of nine people? ”

Li Xiuning said: "It's not that you can't take concubines when you are a concubine, but she is not an ordinary person!" ”

"You know she's not an ordinary person, and she's still pushing around me!" Chen Ying yelled at Li Xiuning: "I really don't understand you, what is going on in your head!" ”

Li Xiuning sighed silently, there were some things that she really didn't want to say.

……

In Huai Wang'an's Mansion, a large group of elderly Li family relatives gathered around Li Shentong, still putting on a miserable appearance.

"King Huai'an, Your Majesty grew up under your watch, the relationship is extraordinary, and you are Your Majesty's elders.

Li Shentong smiled bitterly: "We went to ask the emperor, but he was an old man, so he just didn't speak." ”

Li Xiaochang squeezed to Li Shentong's side from behind and said: "Please also ask King Huai'an to come forward and ask for my life for me, so that Your Majesty will not be self-determined Li family branches...... This kind of thing is a matter of bitterness for relatives and pleasure for enemies. ”

The crowd shouted and cried.

The clan relatives who were standing beside Li Shentong simply tugged at his sleeves.

Li Shentong was annoyed and said, "Don't cry! Let's go and see Your Majesty now! ”

All the Li clans followed Li Shentong and flocked to the Hall of Virtue.

Everyone didn't say a word, and all knelt in front of Li Jiancheng.

Everyone looked at Li Shentong with pleading eyes, and Li Shentong said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, you can't kiss your own brothers. Emperor Taishang Taiyuan Uprising, the most relied on is not the Li family's father and son soldiers? Now His Majesty reuses meritorious heroes, but treats the clan harshly, and if there is trouble in the future, the clan will ...... Who will help you? ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Uncle Wang, the world is owned by the Li family, can it still be governed by the Li family?" ”

Li Shentong wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Jiancheng said: "Uncle Wang, you have never been concerned about these things, why did you suddenly talk to me about this today?" Don't be fooled by those who have bad intentions.

Li Shentong sighed helplessly and said, "In the sect...... There are many people who are dissatisfied with His Majesty, and some of them have been said very hard.

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and roared: "At this time, no matter who wants to stop me from being a good emperor, they are all my enemies. ”

Li Shen was so angry that he stopped talking.

Li Jiancheng turned to look at the ministers of the clan all over the land and said: "This time, the purpose of streamlining the government is not to purge the old ministers, but to the society of the Tang Dynasty, for the peace and prosperity of the world, and for the ...... of Chang'an in the world."

Li Shendao: "So what?

Li Jiancheng sighed silently and said, "Therefore, there must be some sacrifices." ”

Li Xiaochang looked at Li Jiancheng and said angrily: "Is Your Majesty going to sacrifice us?" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiaochang and shouted: "Seven years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, seven years ago, there was no Datang, there was no Er, and I didn't see anyone starving to death. ”

Li Jiancheng stretched out his hand and pointed at himself and said: "Others make trouble, because Datang is not theirs, you also make trouble, play with Datang, we will be killed together, Datang exists for a day, you are all relatives of the emperor and the country, it's over, you are not even a fart!" ”

The clans were stunned by Li Jiancheng's yelling.

Li Jiancheng's voice became higher and higher, and he said loudly: "So this time, I can't run away, and you can't run away, because we are all men, responsible men...... As long as Datang survives this difficulty, a little money and food, why worry about it? Can't you look a little farther ahead? ”

Li Shentong was speechless.

The Li clan looked grieving, just like the deep resentful women.

Li Jiancheng said: "Datang...... Deeply troubled, we must ...... Taking on the ...... Responsibility for the rise and fall of the world! ”
