Chapter 45 concentrates on solving the Turkic question

Xiao Nuoyan took a confession full of writing, and walked into the imperial study nervously, the result of the secret interrogation was too sensational.

The rebellion of Li Yuanji, Li Xiaochang, Changsun Jingye, Yuan Hongren and others, the mastermind behind the scenes was actually Pei Lian, the ruler of the dynasty.

Xiao Nuoyan handed the confession to Li Jiancheng, and stood aside with his hands down, listening to Li Jiancheng's thunderous anger.

Li Jiancheng looked at Yan Fa's confession twice, and then slapped the confession on the case, and said angrily: "Someone! ”

Xiao Nuoyan bowed and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Xiao Nuoyan and said, "Take Pei Lian lock and torture him." ”

Chen Ying, who was standing on the side, hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

Li Jiancheng took the confession and handed it to Chen Yingshou and said, "Do you know what our old minister Pei has done?" He is plotting to subvert the government. ”

Chen Ying smiled disapprerovingly, in fact, he already knew this result. Chen Ying's fierce tiger righteousness not only detected Pei Lian's cattiness, but also knew the existence of Yu Wenhua and this black hand.

Chen Ying didn't have a seizure, it wasn't that he was afraid of Pei Lin and Yu Wenhua.

In fact, Chen Ying just wanted to use this excuse to clear up the hidden dangers within Datang in one go. Anyway, there are no people in the Western Regions and Liaodong for thousands of miles, and when the time comes, they can be sent to the Western Regions.

To put it bluntly, Chen Ying is for the migration of people.

Chen Ying explained to Li Jiancheng with a smile: "Your Majesty, Pei Lin is the head of the founding heroes, and now, the matter of demoting the clan and streamlining the officials has just been completed, and making a move on Pei Lin at this moment will put everyone in danger and be detrimental to the stability of the court......

Li Jiancheng frowned deadly.

Chen Ying continued: "Both, Pei Lin is a close friend of the Emperor Taishang, and locking Pei Lin will make the Emperor uneasy and affect the relationship between His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang's father and son." ”

Li Jiancheng still hated himself and said: "Then let him hide behind the scenes like this...... Run riot? ”

Chen Ying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, to deal with this kind of person who likes to conspire behind his back, it is natural to treat him in the way of others." ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Nuoyan to leave.

Xiao Nuoyan bowed and retreated.

Until, there was no one else in the imperial study, Chen Ying said: "Your Majesty, Pei Lin is a smart person, often smart people, will be smart but be clever and mistaken!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "It's very simple, let people spread the news that Master Yan Fa has confessed, and Pei Lin will make the most correct choice!" ”

……

In Chang'an City, in Sikong Pei Lone's mansion, Lawyer Pei walked into the study and was stunned to find that Pei Lone was full of white hair and looked old.

Lawyer Pei suddenly asked in a trembling voice at a loss: "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Pei Lin sighed weakly and said, "Has the head of the family arrived?" ”

There was a commotion outside.

The head of the Pei family slowly walked into the study.

Lawyer Pei carefully stepped aside.

The head of the Pei family looked at Pei Xiao and said, "Xuan Zhen, what's wrong?" ”

Pei Lin let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile on his face: "Yan Fa was arrested, and he confessed that it was the old man who was behind the scenes, instructing Li Yuanji and Li Xiaochang to rebel, and also instigating the relationship between the father and son of the Li family. ”

The head of the Pei family was taken aback and said, "This is impossible!" If such a big thing happens, won't Your Majesty send someone to get you? ”

Pei Lin shook his head and said, "Since they quietly let out the wind, they naturally don't plan to clean me up with great fanfare." ”

The head of the Pei family asked in a panic, "What should I do?" The four seas are so big, all of them are the land of the Tang Dynasty, can our Pei family only go to the Turks to avoid trouble? No, the old man will go to see His Majesty and intercede for you. ”

Pei Lin waved his hand and said, "When today's son ...... It's for me. If he can clean me up, he will naturally let the Pei family go. ”

The head of the Pei family looked at Pei Lin blankly and said, "The head of the family, the matter has come to this, bother you, expel Pei Lin from the sect." ”

Lawyer Pei looked sad and said angrily: "Daddy...... Cannot! ”

Pei Lin looked at Lawyer Pei and said, "Do you know why, Li Yuanji asked for a cup of poisonous wine?" Expelle me from the clan, at least in the future, the emperor will liquidate and will not involve the Pei family. ”

Lawyer Pei couldn't help but cry.

The head of the Pei family also touched the scene and wiped the corners of his eyes.

……

The ancestral house of the Pei family in Chang'an City, the head of the Pei family, sat behind the desk with a sad face.

There was a group of Pei family seniors sitting next to him, a group of old men, all sighing.

One of the elders asked, "Tell me, the new emperor, what are you going to do?" ”

All the elders looked at each other.

The head of the Pei family said: "You can't see this? He is going to settle accounts after the autumn. When he beat Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, he disagreed with the abolished King of Qin, and he was angry with our Guanlong clan. Now that he is in power, he wants to settle old accounts with us. ”

Qi Su said: "Our Pei family, since the Li family entered the Guanzhong, has served them wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect that our sincere heart was exchanged for a catastrophe. Alas! The Li family's father and son brothers killed each other, which is really restless in the world...... Shall we just wait to be exterminated? ”

All the elders faced the head of the family, and all the elders clamored: "The head of the family is tired of looking for Pei Xiangguo and asking him to come to His Majesty and accommodate him on his behalf." ”

The head of the Pei family sighed and said, "Old Xiangguo is now difficult to protect himself. ”

……

With the brewing of time, especially the first heavy rain in Guanzhong, the drought in Guanzhong was solved. Looking at the overnight, the entire Chang'an Bashui restored its original water level.

The Chang'an clan has understood that the drought in Guanzhong has passed.

Chen Ying proposed to Li Jiancheng a plan for the cultivation of winter wheat. Originally, Guanzhong was only cultivated once a year, but now with the summer and autumn seasons in the clear forest for three consecutive years, winter wheat and autumn beans are cultivated.

Let the people of Chang'an also see the feasibility of winter wheat.

With this heavy rain coming unexpectedly, the people in all parts of Guanzhong hurriedly started ploughing, preparing grain seeds, and began to sow winter wheat, so that they only need to wait until next summer, and Guanzhong will definitely be self-sufficient in grain.

In this case, the Guanzhong clan could no longer sit still, and they began to sell the grain in their granaries frantically.

In fact, Chang'an's grain has reached more than 7 million stones, and it is still being imported into Chang'an, and grain prices continue to fall.

From 25 wen per bucket to 15 wen per bucket, the price of grain harvest in Guanzhong was restored six years ago in Wude.

These grains, the family gate valve has become a hot potato, and it will shrink a lot every other day. Relying on the people and gentry in Guanzhong, it is simply possible to consume seven or eight million stone of grain in half a year in Guanzhong, not to mention that grain storage also costs a lot of money.

If the grain is moldy, they are like losing all their money.

Originally, when I heard that the price of grain in Guanzhong remained high, grain merchants from other places smuggled grain into the customs one after another.

As a result, there was more and more grain in Guanzhong, and the price was getting lower and lower.

In this case, the Guanzhong clan also opened the granary one after another and sold the grain. Since then, it has exacerbated the collapse of grain prices in Guanzhong.

Li Jiancheng not only completed the work of streamlining the administration of officials and soldiers under tremendous pressure, but also restrained the expansion of the Li Tang clan.

Li Jiancheng was in a good mood, and it was mid-September.

At the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, there was no hunger in Guanzhong.

In the Xiande Palace, Chen Ying, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and other important ministers of the imperial court gathered on the Xiande Hall with red faces.

Yu Wenshi sighed: "I can't think of it, I can't imagine that such a big natural and man-made disaster in Guanzhong has been eliminated invisibly, God bless me Datang!" ”

Yang Gongren said: "The family of Chang'an still knows the general situation, without their help, the court will not be able to survive this natural disaster!" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Before the summer harvest next year, there will be enough food." By next summer, Guanzhong will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Wei Zheng knocked on the wat board and said: "Everyone, at present, food is no longer a problem, the most urgent thing is to rectify the rule of officials, this is to ensure that the disaster relief food can ensure that the last checkpoint in the hands of the victims, if someone embezzles the disaster relief food, not only the disaster relief will not be successful, the court and the Son of Heaven will be in front of the family and Li Shu, the prestige will be lost." ”

Everyone nodded.

Wei Zheng continued: "Wei Zheng thinks that the Imperial Historical Observatory must send people to supervise the Quartet.

Wang Jue nodded and said: "Xuancheng's words are to the point, and the harm of the officials is like a flood beast, if it is left unchecked, it is enough to make the country ruin." ”

Li Jiancheng got up, looked at the ministers and said: "Then according to what Wei Zheng said, Yushitai will immediately send people to supervise the distribution of grain. ”

Wei Zheng said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else that needs to be discussed?" ”

Chen Ying suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please resign from the post of Shangshu's left servant." ”

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

Li Jiancheng immediately frowned.

The ministers parted unhappily,

Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng, dressed in regular clothes, sat on both sides of the desk.

Chen Ying raised a cup and drank it with Li Jiancheng.

Chen Ying pulled a plate of vegetables in front of Li Jiancheng in front of him and began to chew on it.

Li Jiancheng smiled and pointed at Chen Ying and said, "You kid, are you going to pick a child?" Let me be alone in front of you, dealing with the Guan Long clan who have become elites? ”

Chen Ying pursed his lips and said with a sarcastic expression: "You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, I am the No. 1 relative of Tianzi, and I have attracted suspicion, and I used to sit in the position of Shangshu's left servant, but because of this offending thing, you really can't find anyone to do it, I am hard-headed and rushed up to carry the black cauldron, and now that the dust has settled on several major events, it is time for me to retreat behind the scenes." ”

Li Jiancheng angrily put the wine cup on the case and said: "When things are difficult, everyone is afraid of offending people, and no one is willing to stand up and do things, only you and Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling does not avoid suspicion, is not afraid of resistance, and stands up to do things, now that the thing is done, the heroes have to give up their positions to those who dare not do things, what kind of bullshit rule is this?" I don't care what other emperors do, I never do. ”

Chen Ying held the hand of the chopsticks for a moment, raised his head to look at Li Jiancheng, put away his playful expression, and said with a solemn expression: "Da Lang, you are not the prince now, you are the emperor, you have to look like an emperor...... What's more, the Turkic problem should also be solved, you can't let me participate in the Northern Expedition in the name of Shangshu's left servant, right? ”

……

Shangshu Province is already empty.

Fang Xuanling was still under the candlelight, concentrating on sorting out the documents and chapters.

Gao Shilian held a candle, walked to Fang Xuanling and sat down, seeing that Fang Xuanling was still busy, he put down the candlestick and helped Fang Xuanling sort the papers.

After a long time, Gao Shilian sighed and said: "Xuan Ling, now that several major events have fallen to the dust, you should also resign from this hot position of Shang Shuyoucheng." ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at Gao Shilian, and said with a smile while continuing the work at hand: "Why? ”

Gao Shilian said earnestly: "I'm doing this for your good." I have already written the seal, please resign from the Ministry of Officials. For more than a year, Wei Zheng, you, and I have offended the world's clans, civil and military officials, and the clan relatives surnamed Li, and now that the matter is done, it is time for us to retreat bravely......"

Fang Xuanling said dissatisfiedly: "Why? We have worked hard and made great achievements, why should we retreat bravely? ”

Gao Shilian choked for a moment, and said helplessly: "When did you start caring about your own merits?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled lightly and said, "Just now." ”

Gao Shilian was angry, and was stunned for a while before saying: "This is to avoid disaster!" Even if we refuse to retreat, in order to protect us, the emperor will send us out of the state and county for a period of time, but, after all, we are meritorious ministers, this time we don't have to go to the border to suffer in the poor place, most of them can be in Henan, or even in the anointed land of Guanzhong, to be the last assassin of the history, and then return to Beijing, you can worship the prime minister in a grand manner. ”

Gao Shilian said that he was full of energy and yearning.

Fang Xuanling smiled disapprovingly, shook his head and said, "You think well, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't think so!"

Gao Shilian was a little stunned and said, "What else can Your Majesty do?" ”

……

Late at night, Li Jiancheng lay on the bed with a heavy heart.

Zheng Guanyin held his big belly, turned over cautiously, saw Li Jiancheng in a daze, and stabbed Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng turned his face to look at Zheng Guanyin and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zheng Guanyin frowned with some displeasure and said, "What? I should ask you, what's wrong with you, don't sleep? ”

Li Jiancheng said with some guilt: "I quarreled with you?" ”

Zheng Guanyin struggled to get up, and Li Jiancheng hurriedly supported her and sat crookedly in his arms.

Zheng Guanyin yawned and said, "If you know that you are very noisy, then you have something to say quickly." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled helplessly, and sighed: "Chen Ying resigned, Gao Shilian also resigned, it seems that a few of them seem to have discussed it......"

Zheng Guanyin nodded his head and "hummed" twice: "What about you?" ”

Li Jiancheng said with some excitement: "I am naturally very unhappy with this so-called imperial heart technique!" ”

Zheng Guanyin half-closed his eyes, and said sleepily: "Although it is said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I don't care about others, Chen Ying's affairs are not only state affairs, but also family affairs......

Li Jiancheng rubbed his temples worriedly and said, "Chen Ying is young, where can he retreat?" ”

Zheng Guanyin yawned again and said: "It doesn't matter, it's okay to be the governor or the governor, it's okay, don't be too far away from Chang'an, or...... It's not bad to be demoted one level to do the history of Shangzhou Thorn. ”

Li Jiancheng helped Zheng Guanyin pull the quilt, and said angrily: "You are quite good at arranging." ”

Zheng Guanyin lazily lifted the corners of his mouth, laughed and said: "Chen Ying is too young, otherwise, you can give him an idle job as a second-grade special advancement and raise ......."

Li Jiancheng frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Zheng Guanyin glanced at Li Jiancheng's ugly face with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, that's the position of preferential treatment for the old minister, Chen Ying is young, so he shot from the right servant of the second grade, even if he retreats, he will never be ...... The reason for being promoted to the second product again......"

Zheng Guanyin's voice became smaller and smaller, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

Li Jiancheng was silent, looked at Zheng Guanyin's smiling sleeping face, and carefully hugged her and lay down.

……

Chen Jiabao, Chen Ying lay calmly on the bed, asleep.

Suddenly, there was a sound of retching outside.

Chen Ying woke up in a daze, opened his eyes, and found Li Xiuning vomiting in front of the spittoon.

Chen Ying hurriedly got up, put on a piece of clothing, gently came behind Li Xiuning, reached out and stroked Li Xiuning's back, and asked with concern: "Sanniang, what's wrong...... If you have a bad stomach, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look......

Li Xiuning reached out and twisted the soft flesh on Chen Ying's waist.

Chen Ying was in pain, looked at Li Xiuning with an innocent face and asked, "What are you pinching me for?" ”

Li Xiuning's eyes were like a pool of deep water, looking at Chen Ying and saying angrily: "It's not that I blame you!" ”

"Blame me?" Chen Ying suddenly realized, and said with a happy face: "Sanniang, what's the matter...... There it is again! ”

Li Xiuning nodded.

Chen Ying's face was full of joy, and while supporting Li Xiuning, he carefully helped Li Xiuning to bed.

The two lay side by side in bed.

Li Xiuning suddenly turned around with difficulty, looked at Chen Yingdao, and said, "Chen Lang, why did you resign from the post of Xiangguo?" Shangshu left servant shot, no one is more suitable than you! ”

Chen Ying sighed and said: "Feng Lun is dead, Pei Lin died of hunger strike, Chen Shuda and Xiao Shiwen were dismissed, the six prime ministers of the Wude Dynasty are now gone, more than 3,000 officials of the Guanzhong clan have been dismissed, and His Majesty's position is also secure......"

Li Xiuning interrupted Chen Ying's words and said, "Are you worried about the high merit and the master? ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No...... Your Majesty is broad-minded, he can accommodate Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong, Niu Junda and other old generals of the Qin Palace, and he can also pardon Li Yuanji's crime of rebellion, what can I do...... A lifetime of wealth is indispensable! ”

Li Xiuning was even more puzzled at this time: "Then ...... you"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "The Eastern Turks are in frequent movements, I really don't feel at ease, the imperial court has completed the internal rectification, and it has begun to concentrate its forces to clean up the Turks!" ”

Li Xiuning was silent.

She grabbed Chen Ying's hand hard and said, "Chen Lang, can you accompany me ......?"

Li Xiuning couldn't go on, she couldn't be so selfish.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "As long as the Turkic problem is solved, we can grow old together!" “
