Chapter Eighty-Five: What to Do in the White City?
"I don't know what Gong Dou is here for this time?" Chen Ying asked triedly.
The full text of the three-character scripture is 382 sentences, each sentence is three words, a total of 1,146 words. If you delete some things from the Tang Dynasty and add some words and sentences, you can keep a maximum of 1,000 words or, it is very likely that it will be less than 1,000 words. If in later generations, this is only equivalent to the number of words on an A4 piece of paper, and it will not cost much money to print such a book.
However, in this era, the process of printing mainly relies on engraving printing, if it is a thousand words, at least nearly 40 engraving plates are required, and it takes at least half a year to consume time. If we consider the value of engraving and labor costs, it will cost at least five or six million dollars to print these thousand books.
Although five or six million is not too much, especially for a gate valve like Fufeng Dou, this amount of money is not even a dime. However, for ordinary people, this is equivalent to the net income of a hundred ordinary farmers for a year, obviously, this is not something that can be explained by the relationship between Chen Ying and Dou Shi.
If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something.
Chen Ying really didn't dare to accept Dou Cong's kindness easily, although five or six million money was not a small amount, for Chen Ying, this money was really not a price that could sway Chen Ying's will.
Dou Cong slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized: "I almost missed the right thing, the old man is here to give orders!" ”
"Come on, prepare the incense case......"
Without waiting for Chen Ying to finish speaking, Dou Cong waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty's dictation, there is no need to be so formal." ”
Chen Ying's expression immediately became solemn.
Dou Cong said: "According to the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Lingzhou, the general of the right Wuwei, the general of the hussars, and the marquis of Wugong County Chen should enter the palace to meet him, and he will see him!" ”
Chen Ying secretly guessed whether returning to Chang'an this time was a blessing or a curse?
Dou Cong looked at Chen Ying with a hesitant expression, and said with a smile: "General Chen is worried about the injuries on his body, and he can't stand the bumps on the road?" ”
Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's true!" ”
"General Chen doesn't have to worry!" Dou Cong said: "Your Majesty said, this matter is not urgent, and it will be okay to set off again after General Chen's health is fine." ”
"I'm afraid it's not good!"
Chen Ying pondered for a moment and said: "The king's life is like a mountain, Chen Ying will climb to Chang'an City even if he climbs!" ”
Dou Cong secretly thought in his heart, could it be that Chen Ying had already guessed that Li Yuan was going to marry Chen Ying? General Chen can't wait? "The so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good, and the county lord of Baicheng is also dignified and generous......"
White City? Lee Do-jeong?
Chen Ying said in surprise: "Me and Bai Cheng? ”
"Doesn't General Chen already know?" Dou Cong said with a smile: "Your Majesty intends to accept General Chen as the prince's son-in-law, the county lord of Shangbaicheng. ”
Hearing this, Chen Ying almost choked on his own saliva.
Chen Ying's head even involuntarily appeared that Li Daozhen was frantically slashing him with a Mo knife, and Chen Ying was almost not cut in two by Li Daozhen at that time.
Marrying Li Daozhen, how much Li Yuan hates himself. Once she inadvertently angered Li Daozhen, wouldn't she be chased by her with a Mo knife and had no way to go to the sky?
Chen Ying sat on the bed in a frustrated state, not even knowing when Dou Cong left.
By the time the lights were held last night, the guards delivered the food to Chen Ying.
Chen Ying had already been outside the body, and he didn't have the heart to eat at all.
When he was a deep child, Chen Ying was still like a statue, standing in front of the lamp, looking at the flickering candle flame, stunned.
Ryazan looked at Chen Ying with a half-dead look, and when he saw it, he was anxious in his heart. He personally took the meal, walked up to Chen Ying and said, "Lang Jun, eat something!" ”
"Get out!"
"Lang Jun, you can eat a little."
"Get out!"
Chen Ying was on the verge of exploding, he picked up the pen holder on the desk and smashed it at Ryazan's head.
The "bang ......" bamboo hollow carved pen holder hit the door frame.
Ryazan was stupid and coarse-hearted, and he didn't know what happened to Chen Ying.
However, Ryazan is not stupid.
He saw that he couldn't persuade Chen Ying, so he personally went to find Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang.
However, at this time, Li Xiuning had already gone to Taiyuan City, which was more than 150 miles away. When Li Xiuning got the news and returned to Weize Pass, Chen Ying had been doing it for two days and one night, and there was no drop of water, Chen Ying's expression was sluggish, and the corners of his mouth were already dry, which looked distressing.
When Li Xiuning walked to Chen Ying's house with the food, Chen Ying's eyes that were originally moving and moving, turned slightly, and he was still unmoved.
Li Xiuning took the food and put it in front of Chen Ying.
"Eat!"
Chen Ying was unmoved.
Li Xiuning didn't say anything, and went out directly with the food. After a while, there was the sound of dishes breaking outside the door. Immediately, Li Xiuning came in with another meal, and he also cherished the words like gold: "Eat!" ”
Chen Ying remained unmoved.
Li Xiuning was stunned for a while, and then walked towards the door.
"Whoa......
Li Xiuning came in again, and reflected like this five times. When the sixth uproar sounded, Chen Ying finally couldn't help it: "Grandma, don't fall, it's too wasteful of food." ”
Chen Ying picked up the chopsticks with the rice bowl and said, "Can't I eat?" ”
"What's going on, it's actually making you look like you're going to die?" Li Xiuning asked strangely: "This is not like you!" ”
Chen Ying sighed slightly, looked at Li Xiuning's eyes and said, "Your Majesty wants to give me a marriage!" ”
The smile on Li Xiuning's face instantly froze on his face.
"Well, congratulations!"
Chen Yingdao: "Do you know that your laughter is very fake at this time?" ”
Li Xiuning brushed the bangs on his forehead with his hand, and a trace of pain flashed between his eyebrows: "I...... I'll go back first! ”
Chen Yingdao: "You know me! ”
"Know what about you?"
"I like you!"
"You're crazy, we can't do it!" Li Xiuning turned around, turned his back to Chen Ying, and slowly accumulated mist in his eyes: "I...... We...... We can't do it! ”
Chen Yingdao: "Nothing is impossible, it's a big deal to be separated!" ”
"Yes...... I'm not Sima Daofu! ”
Sima Daofu is the first woman in Chinese history who dared to pursue her own marital happiness. She is the third daughter of Sima Yu, Emperor Jianwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and is named Princess Xin'an. He first married Huan Ji, the son of Nanchang County Gong, Da Sima and Taiwei Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, Huan Ji's attempt to usurp military power failed and was demoted, so Princess Xin'an divorced Huan Ji and begged the emperor to remarry Wang Xianzhi. However, at that time, Wang Xianzhi was already married to Xi Daomao, and the relationship between the husband and wife was very good.
At that time, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin was Sima Daofu's younger brother, and she repeatedly begged her younger brother, and her younger brother Emperor Xiaowu of Jin ordered Wang Xianzhi to be separated from Xi Daomao, and then marry Sima Daofu. In order to resist this marriage, Wang Xianzhi even staged a scene of self-harm, Wang Xianzhi burned his leg with wormwood and became lame. But Sima Daofu still married Wang Xianzhi as his wife.
Li Xiuning said that she is not Sima Daofu, the key is that this era is different from Sima Daofu's era. Since Wang Xizhi's death, the Langya Wang family has no talent who can get their hands on it. The Langya Wang family has already reached the end of the day, and the Xi family has also become yesterday's yellow flower, and the two of them have no capital to resist the emperor.
So I can only accept my fate, but now Datang, although the situation in Hedong has been stabilized. However, Chai Shao and the Chai family behind Chai Shao are, after all, Li Yuan's founding heroes. Now, no matter what the reason, it is impossible for Li Yuan to agree to Li Xiuning and Chai Shao to separate, otherwise Li Yuan's move of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey is too obvious.
In fact, Chai Shao's age is thirteen years older than Li Xiuning, and the marriage between Chai Shao and Li Xiuning is itself a political marriage, and the two sides have formed a political alliance, and Li Xiuning is a political victim.
Li Xiuning said without looking back: "I'll go back first!" ”
"Stop!"
Li Xiuning ignored Chen Ying and still walked towards the door.
Chen Ying was in a hurry and hurriedly chased after the door. Chen Ying's range of movements was a bit large, which affected the wound.
"Ah......h
Chen Ying was so painful that cold sweat flowed from his forehead and he fell to the ground.
Li Xiuning watched Chen Ying fall, and he still couldn't bear it in his heart after all.
Li Xiuning came back and helped Chen Ying up: "What about Baicheng?" Have you thought about it? ”
PS: I'm very sorry, it's a bit late for today's update. Due to the tight New Year's ticket, Lao Cheng did not buy a ticket, and drove home with a few friends yesterday, 16 hours, very hard. Wait for another chapter, first slowly!
