To say that the people of Chang'an sent away the first year of Wude with anxiety and entered the second year of Wude, which is a year worth looking forward to by the people. Li Tang's occupation of Guanzhong became more and more stable, the world-famous Li Mi surrendered, and even Du Fuwei, who was powerful in Jianghuai, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is expected to return, and the unification of the world is just around the corner.

Li Yuan was also very happy that one year after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the Tang Dynasty had expanded by one-third, adding 114 counties in 19 prefectures. Now that Li Mi and Du Fuwei are attached, the shortcomings of Datang's overstretched and insufficient troops have been greatly alleviated. These are just phenomena that the people can see on the surface, the mottled blood stains buried on the shiny surface, which is not something that ordinary people can know.

Liu Wuzhou stormed Jinyang, if Li Xiuning hadn't arrived in time and led the women's army to kill Liu Wuzhou, I am afraid that the land of Longxing would not be able to be saved. However, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang united together at this time and invaded Youzhou, and Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, asked Chang'an for help. For Li Yuan, although Youzhou is just an enclave, it has to be saved in the long run.

How to rescue Youzhou, Li Yuan and the central princes of the imperial court have not yet come up with a resolution, at this time, the most worrying thing for the princes of the imperial court is the issue of Lingzhou. Once Lingzhou is breached, the Turkic army will follow the Fengxiang Road all the way south and advance into Guanzhong. Relatively speaking, Lingzhou is the most important.

However, when it came to the Yuan Festival (i.e., the Lantern Festival), Li Yuan still decided to hold a special event. Open the curfew and have fun with the people. But Li Jiancheng was unexpectedly absent from the celebration of the Shangyuan Festival.

Li Jiancheng was in a very bad mood, because the Turkic Mohe Yehu arrived in Chang'an and conveyed to Li Yuan the wrath of Shibi Khan.

From the perspective of inner emotion, Li Jiancheng was also dissatisfied with the arrogance and tyranny of the Turks, if it were not for the Turks to hinder behind, Xue Ju of Western Qin, Li Rail, King of Yongle, Liang Shidu, King of Liang, Liu Wuzhou, King of Yuanxing, and Song Jingang of Yizhou would never dare to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Now, although Xue Ju has been destroyed, Li Liang still controls Wuwei and dominates the place. The Liang division captured Lingzhou, and Liu Wuzhou directly sent troops to attack Jinyang, the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Now it's good, the Turks are downside down and hit a rake, and the wicked people sue first, asking why Datang is treacherous and attacks the city of Bogulu without authorization.

"Referring to a deer as a horse, reversing black and white, being unscrupulous, despicable and shameless!" Li Jiancheng wanted to scold his mother very much, but since he was a child, the education he received made him accustomed to joy and anger, and he was accustomed to Sven.

In the East Palace, imitating the Tangquan Palace of the Ganlu Hall to build a huge pool, Li Jiancheng was naked, buried his whole body in the water, let the warm water wrap it, the water isolated the noise outside, the whole person seemed to be in the mother's body, he curled up, let himself float and sink in the pool, until his lungs were about to explode, then he poked his head out of the water, and breathed heavily, as if he had been reborn. He tried this near-death feeling again and again, and he never tired of it.

Tang Lin, the scribe and servant of Yushi, reported to Li Jiancheng secretly: "Wei Guogong and Shangshu's right servant Pei Lin have secretly revealed to Yushitai that they want to impeach Xiuwu County Bo, General Zhongwu, and Chen Ying, the right guard of the East Palace, for causing border trouble!" ”

The scrivener is the deputy official of the Imperial History Terrace, which is equivalent to the second Cheng Zuo in the Imperial History. Tang Lin is not a person who says nothing in the Yushitai. It is conceivable that after the Shangyuan Festival, the official opening of the government was held, and the first time the Wude two-year court meeting was held, Chen Ying was impeached into a sieve by the Manchu imperial history......

Whenever he thought that Chen Ying would be questioned on trumped-up charges, Li Jiancheng held back a surge of anger in his heart.

"Ah......h

At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in palace clothes entered. Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin said distressedly: "Your Highness, you are ......"

"This palace is unwilling!"

Then Li Jiancheng questioned Li Yuan on behalf of the Turkic Mohe Khan, and Pei Lin secretly revealed that he wanted to impeach Chen Ying.

Zheng Guanyin asked, "Your Highness, don't you want General Chen to be held accountable?" ”

"Exactly!" Out of respect for Zheng Guanyin, Li Jiancheng patiently explained: "General Chen fought bloodily, and he is not guilty, if he is questioned, it will definitely make the world's teeth cold!" ”

Zheng Guanyin nodded, and said with a faint smile: "If you want General Chen not to be questioned, it's actually not difficult?" ”

Li Jiancheng thought that Zheng Guanyin only saw the superficial problem, and explained to her: "The meaning conveyed by Pei Lin is actually ......"

Li Jiancheng pointed to the ceiling.

Li Jiancheng knows Li Yuan very well, and in this period, the Tang Dynasty does not have the capital to fight with the Turks. And Chen Ying is likely to be treated as an outcast by Li Yuan to appease the anger of the Turks.

"How many people have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has had a close relationship with the ministers of the imperial court?" Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Jiancheng and asked.

Li Jiancheng said: "A gentleman is a friend but not a party, if he is a friendly person, there are many people!" ”

There is a way that the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear. Zheng Guanyin immediately pointed to the crux of the problem. Li Yuan, a person who sounds good, is coquettish, and what he doesn't say well is that he wants to be a bitch and wants to set up an archway. Li Yuan wanted Chen Ying's life to appease the anger of the Turks, but he was unwilling to bear the notoriety of killing meritorious heroes. So he will only start with Chen Ying's private morality. Chen Yingshang has no parents, and the crime of unfilial piety cannot be pressed on his head. No matter what crimes are listed, Chen Ying will not be killed, but Yushi will pour dirty water on Chen Ying.

Splash dirty water, no matter how you splash it, you can't splash people. Zheng Guanyin said: "If the imperial history impeached General Chen's private morality is at a loss, then how many people in the imperial court will not be impeached?" ”

Li Jiancheng instantly understood what Zheng Guanyin meant. In fact, if Li Yuan wants to deal with Chen Ying, he can only start with personal morality, after all, Li Yuan is also a person who cherishes feathers, and he will definitely not bear the notoriety of killing loyal ministers and good generals in order to curry favor with the Turks.

If only Chen Ying's personal virtue is impeached, then other ministers can also be impeached. When the time comes, if you want to ask for the guilt, you can only ask all of them, and you can't just target Chen Ying alone.

With a solution, Li Jiancheng was in a great mood, and he worked very hard to please Zheng Guanyin and made Zheng Guanyin coquettish.

After being satisfied, Li Jiancheng summoned his confidant Wei Ting and asked him to come forward to connect the ministers.

The first court meeting of the second year of Wude was held as scheduled, but the first agenda item was to propose the issue of spring ploughing, China is agriculture-oriented, and no matter how well it is done, this superficial work must be done beautifully.

The ministers had a heated discussion on how to encourage, reclaim, and develop farming.

After about half an hour, the first topic finally ended in a ruffle.

Then, the king of Qin proposed to attack Wang Shichong and recapture the Central Plains. As a result, the ministers were talking and swords, and no one could convince anyone, so they could only shelve this controversy.

The third, fourth, fifth topics.

The sixth topic began. This one was led by Zhang Gufeng, the imperial envoy from the seventh rank (not a clerical error, one of the subordinate officials of the Imperial History Stage) bowed down and said: "Minister, Zhang Gufeng impeached the Zhongwu general, the right guard rate, and the seven crimes of cultivating the martial arts and Chen Ying deceived the superiors and subordinates, resold the ordnance, killed the good and rebelled, and falsely reported the war exploits!" ”

As soon as Zhang Gufeng's voice fell, Li Shiao, the servant of the imperial history, said: "Minister, the secretary and the imperial historian Li Shiao are impeached, and the right servant of Wei Guogong and Shangshu shoot Pei Lonely's servant for trouble, careless of people's lives, forming a party for private purposes, cronyism, and selling official positions...... Wait for the Twelve Deadly Sins! ”

Hearing this, Pei Lian's beard couldn't help but twitch.

Impeaching the prime minister of a country, but this is nothing, this is what the imperial historian does.

Li Yuan gradually felt that something was wrong.

That's not right, that's not how the script is written. Li Yuan gave Pei Lin a look, and Pei Lin had to pretend not to see it, and the matter was beyond his expectations as a prime minister.

Full of anger, Li Yuan hurriedly ended the first court meeting of Wude's second year. Back in the imperial study, Li Yuan was so angry that he kicked on the desk, and as a result, his own foot hurt so much that he gasped.

This time, it was unexpected. Li Yuan easily thought of Li Jiancheng doing ghosts in the back. Before Li Yuan sent Xuan Pei Lin to meet him, Pei Lin had already come to the imperial study.

Seeing the arrival of his good friend Pei Lian, Li Yuan sighed and said, "The prince's wings are hard!" ”

Li Yuan was very angry, he didn't like this feeling of being out of control, even if this person was his own son.

Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, you are outstanding, not the blessing of the community!" ”
