Chapter 264 The night banquet in the East Palace is poor

Chen Ying ordered the soldiers of the army to add meat and food, and the leader of the gang naturally did not dare to slack off.

In fact, the food of the Tang Dynasty army was not bad in history, it was much stronger than the army of the Song and Ming dynasties, and it was a world of difference from the Qing Dynasty army. According to the records of the Tang Dynasty's arsenal, the supply of the Tang army soldiers during the expedition was "one person a day, one bucket of millet, five white rice, two pancakes, one steamed bun, and one steamed cake." A loose seed, three soups, five taels of vegetables, as well as the head meat and hooves of cattle and sheep, sheep liver in sauce, pork liver in sauce, one-third of salt, half of sauce, one or two of ginger, one or two green onions, and one or two of vinegar.

"He" is an ancient unit of measurement, that is, one bucket is ten liters, one liter is ten he, and one hei is ten spoons. That's about 100 grams.

As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, although the supplies supplied by the imperial court are very abundant, but due to layers of deductions and false reports of losses, how much can be reached in the mouths of the soldiers can only depend on the mood of the first commander of the army.

In this time and space, when the Qin Palace's Mansion and the East Palace competed for financial resources, because the East Palace had Chen Ying, in terms of financial resources, the Qin Palace's Mansion fell behind. In order to raise money, Li Shimin could only focus on the vegetable money of the Twelve Guards.

Qiu He, the general of Zuowu Houwei, is Li Shimin's person, he pressed his two sons on Li Shimin, for Li Shimin, he did not hesitate to withhold the money in the mouths of the soldiers, and it was not enough to starve to death, but meat, vegetables, don't think about it!

Chen Ying knew these cats very well, and when he ordered the meal, he told the quartermaster and the gang leader that he would send someone to spot check, as long as there was one or two less meat, cut the meat on their bodies to make up for it.

When it was time for the meal to start, the four-wheeled carriages carrying steaming food came slowly, and they were steaming outside, and what came out was the fragrance of wisps of food, which made the soldiers salivate for a long time.

Finally waited for the leader of the gang to put the meal on the table, and as a trumpet sounded, all the soldiers of the Zuowu Marquis Wei Xiaowei Mansion and the Qinwei Mansion began to line up to receive the meal. The gang leader pulled out a drawer made of iron sheet from the cooking car, white as white as clotted fat, golden fragrant and soft rice, and bursts of white mist appeared. The soldiers of Xiaowei Mansion took lunch boxes, and stepped forward one after another to receive meals, those who love steamed buns to receive steamed buns, and those who love to eat small rice to receive small rice, anyway, they can't eat enough to die with a bucket of almost ten catties, so they can manage enough. They spread large sheets of mulberry skin oil paper on the ground, and sat in groups of ten people, with the stewed vegetables of radish and duck in the middle, and when everyone arrived, they began to gobble up.

The soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion ate with relish, but the soldiers of Chen Ying's personal guard mansion began to scold their mother.

"Dog Day Gang Leader, you come over to Yeye!"

The captain didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran over. After all, the general's personal guards are all confidants. Maybe one day it will be released.

The captain of the gang had just walked up to him, and the guards stepped forward to kick him. Directly kicked the captain to the ground.

The guards roared: "How much money are you fucking greedy for? Duck meat for Yaye? ”

The surrounding guards also began to echo: "That's it, yes, yes wants to eat mutton!" ”

"Take this duck meat, fool the hell!"

"Hurry up, change it for Yeye, otherwise Yeye will beat your ass and bloom, and then go to the general to theorize!"

Since the rise of down jackets in Chang'an City, there are more people who breed ducks or geese, ducks are omnivores, even if there is no food to feed, any weeds in the field can be used as food.

Weeds don't cost money, even eight or nine-year-old children, a day can easily cut some weeds to feed the ducks, due to the low cost, duck meat has become cheaper.

A big fat duck weighing eight or nine catties in Chang'an City is only ten big dollars, even if it is converted into yuan in later generations, it is only three or four yuan per catty, which is so cheap that it is scum.

Xiaowei Mansion is often deducted from vegetable money, not to mention eating well, it is difficult to even eat enough, so this time there is meat, and the food is enough, unless it is the New Year, they generally can't eat it. However, Chen Ying's personal guards have always implemented the standards of the Tang Army, and there has been no deduction. In particular, they eat more than three times more meat than ordinary troops, at least half a catty of meat a day.

The captain of the gang had no choice but to get up and find Chen Yingtheo.

Liu Renliang looked at the large piece of duck meat in the lunch box and sighed: "I haven't eaten meat for a long time, General Chen is really wealthy, and he really lives up to his reputation!" ”

Chen Ying was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't this a supply from the imperial court?" ”

Using his own money to support the army, this is a taboo thing to commit Li Yuan, although Chen Ying subsidizes his own military expenses, but these military expenses are not daily expenses, mainly the seizures of wars, Chen Ying always implements the standards of the imperial court, seventy and three accounts.

A captain of the Xiaowei Mansion sighed: "I can follow a commander like General Chen, who loves soldiers like a son, and I am willing to be a small soldier!" ”

Chen Ying's ears heard the soldiers' grateful voices, and these voices entered his ears, which made Chen Ying's heart quite uncomfortable. The combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army was world-famous, but then it slowly failed, because of the upper and lower layers of deductions, eating and taking cards, the military merit system all collapsed, and the soldiers followed the court to fight, not only did they not get actual benefits, but even the basic honor was gone, so the morale of the Tang army plummeted, and the combat effectiveness also decreased sharply.

Chen Ying pondered, he must let Xu Jingzong check the accounts of the army carefully, once the army begins to corrupt, a country's defense force begins to collapse, once the foreign enemy invades, this is very deadly, no matter how fat it is, in the eyes of the wolf, it is all meat.

Chen Ying called the quartermaster officer, Xuan Cao to join the army, the record to join the army, Cang Cao Shi and other subordinate officials to the small tent in front of the Qin Wangfu, and scolded everyone with their heads and faces.

Chen Ying scolded for half an hour, Chen Ying gasped and said: "How was it before, General Ben can not blame the past, and whoever dares to stretch out his hand in the future, General Ben will cut it, stretch out his feet and chop his feet!" ”

The subordinate officials didn't dare to speak, and the atmosphere didn't dare to breathe!

……

In the dormitory of the Qin Palace, Li Shimin sat on the bed with a blank face, and the eldest grandson Wujian led Li Chengqian with tears in his eyes.

Li Shimin said solemnly: "Now we can't go out, but you and Cheng Qian should be able to, you tell the third brother-in-law directly, you take Cheng Qian to visit the third sister, he shouldn't embarrass you!" ”

The eldest grandson Wujian choked up and said, "Second brother, has the situation been so bad that it has gotten to this point?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "Guanyin, don't force me to lie to you!" ”

The eldest grandson muttered: "This kind of thing is really troublesome. ”

Li Shimin smiled disdainfully: "Yes, this is also a battlefield...... Either you die, or I live! ”

The eldest grandson tilted his head, looked at Li Shimin's face, and smiled miserably: "Seeing that you have not lost your fighting spirit, I have confidence in you." ”

Li Shimin turned around and stroked the face of the eldest grandson.

Li Shimin walked into the hall with his eldest grandson Wuji.

The generals were waiting in the hall in full armor, and when they saw Li Shimin coming in, they all stood up with a hula.

Li Shimin said: "It's almost dark, Princess Qin will go to visit Pingyang in Qinglin, Hou Junji, you go and prepare the car." ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he went straight out.

The crowd stared at each other in the hall.

It didn't take long for Li Shimin's car to get ready, and the eldest grandson Wujian boarded the carriage tremblingly with Li Chengqian in his arms.

The gate of the Qin Palace's mansion opened.

The soldiers of the Zuowu Hou Army, who were guarding outside the door, raised their swords and shields, as if they were facing a great enemy.

A carriage drove out slowly, and the driver was Hou Junji.

The carriage stopped in front of Liu Renliang.

The eldest grandson Wujian lifted the curtain, looked around, and when he saw Liu Renliang, he waved to him.

Liu Renliang walked to the side of the eldest grandson, bowed down and said, "Princess Qin, where are you going?" ”

Hou Junji sneered: "Princess Qin's phoenix is driving, is it possible to report to you in advance?" ”

Liu Renliang said without being arrogant or humble: "Princess Rongyu, the general leads the emperor's edict to protect His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the safety of everyone in the palace, the duty is in the body, you can't be negligent, and please forgive the princess for your humble duties!" ”

The eldest grandson said softly: "Princess Pingyang's phoenix body is not safe, the palace is going to visit, it is not too early now, and I am afraid it will be disrespectful if it is too late!" ”

At this moment, Chen Ying said: "Liu Renliang, you lead fifty people to escort Princess Qin to Qinglin!" ”

Hou Junji smiled and said, "That's very good, General Chen brings more people......

Chen Ying didn't wait for Hou Junji to finish speaking, and interrupted coldly: "General Hou, don't go to Qinglin!" ”

Hou Junji also wanted to argue: "I am the ...... of the Imperial Hand"

Chen Yingdao: "Liu Renliang, do you know how to drive?" ”

Liu Renliang nodded.

Chen Ying turned around and returned to the tent.

Hou Junji reluctantly got out of the carriage and walked towards the Qin Palace.

Li Shimin watched Hou Junji go back, and said in a low voice: "Why, General Chen won't let you go out of the city with the princess?" ”

Hou Junji nodded and said, "Dai Zhou would rather die than cooperate, I'm afraid the case will not be good for the king!" ”

Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and said indignantly: "Old Hou, what nonsense are you talking about, Zhang Liang is my old brother for many years, what kind of person he is, I know better than you, even if he dies, he will not betray His Royal Highness King Qin......"

"There are torture masters in Dali Temple!" Du Yan shook his head and said, "We must not pin our hopes on the stupidity of the enemy!" ”

Cheng Zhijie sighed and said, "What do you say!" ”

Du Yan turned to look at Li Shimin and said, "At present, the only way is to survive in death!" ”

Cheng Zhijie clenched the horse lance in his hand and raised his head and said, "Okay, let's go fight with them and fight out of Chang'an City!" ”

"No!"

"Don't!"

Almost at the same time, two voices spoke one after the other.

Li Shimin followed the prestige, only to see Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui say at the same time: "The king must be cautious!" ”

Li Shimin sighed and said: "The princess and Cheng Qian have already left, with Gu's understanding of the third sister, she will definitely do whatever it takes to keep Cheng Qian's son, and there are no heirs to worry about!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's momentum changed suddenly, and he said murderously: "My life is up to me, not to the sky, the sky wants to destroy me, I will destroy the sky!" ”

Du Yan smiled lightly: "If the king has this determination, this will be easy to do, and now I have a chance to survive in death!" ”

"Dead to live?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said hurriedly: "What other chance is there to survive in death?" ”

Du Yan said: "It should also be regarded as the king of the sky, today is the fifty-first birthday of the king of Huai'an, the prince set up a banquet in the East Palace, and all the princes of the clan participated in celebrating the birthday of the king of Huai'an!" ”

Li Shimin suddenly realized.

Then he said with a gloomy face: "It's a pity that the prince won't invite this king to the banquet!" ”

"The crown prince won't invite the king, what if the king of Huai'an invites?" Du Yan swore and said: "The eldest son of the king of Huai'an, Li Daoyan, the king of Jiaodong, has a bad relationship with the king of Qi, and his subordinates are absolutely sure, let him say that the king of Huai'an will be moved and invite the king to the banquet!" ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this: "Then this king will not be afraid!" ”

……

The lights are on. The Hall of Virtue, which has long been lit up, has been full of people. The singer sings in a low voice, and the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty were generous, and the officialdom was extravagant. No matter how simple Li Jiancheng is, he has no way to save at this time. After all, Li Jiancheng's move was also to pull the kings of the clan.

Just when Li Jiancheng was looking forward to it, Li Yuanji rode a horse and came with the Changlin Army to escort the horses.

Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Big brother, has Uncle Huai'an arrived?" ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "I just received the news that they have left the Huai'an Palace, and they will arrive at the East Palace in half an hour at most!" ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, he saw two luxurious four-wheeled carriages opening the way, and the entourage of the brigade followed him left and right, slowly coming along the street.

Before the people arrived, the laughter of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, floated over first.

"Haha!" Li Shentong stepped down from the carriage and saw him wearing a round-necked official uniform and a dark hat. The head is also known as the head, which is a kind of first clothing formed on the basis of the Han and Wei scarves. After the Tang Dynasty, people added a fixed ornament to the head, called "scarf". The shape of the towel varies from period to period. In addition to the scarf, there are also many changes in the two feet of the head, and in the late Tang Dynasty, it has changed from the original soft feet to the hard feet on the left and right.

Li Shentong laughed, grabbed Li Jiancheng's arm and said, "Let the prince break the bill!" ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled: "Don't break the cost, don't break the cost!" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shentong entered together, walked into the Xiande Hall, looked at the kings of the full hall, and pretended to be shocked and said: "Hey, why hasn't King Qin arrived yet!" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Uncle Huai'an doesn't know, King Qin is living in the palace by His Majesty, I'm afraid he won't be able to come!" ”

"We are a big family, it's rare to get together, how can we be without King Qin!" Li Shentong said unhappily: "Then I will go to the palace and give up this old face, and I will ask Your Majesty to be gracious......

At this moment, Wei Zheng opened his mouth towards Li Jiancheng and mouthed: "Brother Qian, Brother Gong!" ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized that no matter what kind of fight he had with Li Shimin, he must show the appearance of a brother and a brother, and he must do a show for outsiders.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "Come on, go to King Qin's Mansion and invite King Qin to a banquet!" ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, let your majesty go!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

Wei Zheng slowly left the hall and left by car.

The East Palace is actually not far from the Qin Palace, and it is only two or three kilometers away.

……

In the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Yuan and Concubine Yin De were dining. Suddenly, Hou Junji, dressed in black, appeared in front of the Panlong Pillar without saying a word.

Concubine Yin Deji didn't see Hou Junji, Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, looked at Concubine Yin De and said, "Concubine Ai, I'm full, you go down first!" ”

Concubine Yin De said puzzled: "Your Majesty ......"

Li Yuan said with a calm face: "Go down!" ”

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, no matter how much Concubine Yin De favors, she doesn't dare to make a fool of herself in front of Li Yuan, so she has to leave stupidly.

Li Yuan looked at Hou Junji and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Hou Junji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, just now the crown prince invited King Qin to the East Palace for a banquet!" ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What banquet are you going to?" ”

Hou Junji said: "It is said that the crown prince celebrated the birthday of the king of Huai'an, and set up a banquet in the East Palace to invite the kings of the clan. ”

Li Yuan said again: "What about Chen Ying, didn't stop him?" ”

Hou Junji shook his head and said, "He didn't stop him, but led someone to escort King Qin to the East Palace!" ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I know, you can step down!" ”

Hou Junji opened his mouth, lowered his head and slowly retreated!
