Chang'an, East Palace.

Since Chen Ying was issued by Li Yuan as the governor of Lingzhou and the military of the six states, the crown prince Li Jiancheng fell ill.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Li Jiancheng's body. He only got heart disease, but Li Jiancheng ate tastelessly, couldn't sleep, and his body was getting thinner and thinner.

Li Yuan thought that Li Jiancheng was angry at first, but after a month like this. Li Jiancheng lost nearly twenty pounds, Li Yuan felt that something was not right, and ordered the imperial doctor to go to the East Palace to diagnose Li Jiancheng.

After the imperial doctor finished diagnosing and treating Li Jiancheng's illness, he was quickly summoned to the Ganlu Hall for questioning.

"Prince, what's the disease!"

Imperial Physician Zhang Gonglue (Lao Cheng was lazy and didn't check the information in this regard, here I pay tribute to the author of the Tang Dynasty Immortal Doctor, Bald Pen Layman, borrowing the name of the person) respectfully saluted Li Yuan: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is attacked by evil winds, the false fire is rising, and the ministers are applying medicine, and it is no big deal!" Just ......"

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but seeing Li Jiancheng getting thinner and thinner, Li Yuan couldn't bear it. Li Yuan's heart tightened: "Just what?" ”

Zhang Gongluo muttered: "It's just that the prince's palace has a breath of depression in his heart, which is condensed but not dispersed, and if it continues for a long time, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Li Yuan waved his hand impatiently to let Zhang Gongluo step back, in fact, Li Jiancheng had something on his mind, so why didn't Li Yuan know?

At this time, an attendant ran to Li Yuan with small steps: "Your Majesty, Lingzhou is in a hurry, and it is eight hundred miles to hurry." ”

When Li Yuan heard the news that it was Lingzhou, he thought that the Turks had gathered troops to attack Lingzhou again. But when Li Yuan unfolded the recital and read it, his nose was almost crooked. There are three copies of Lingzhou's recital, namely one for Chen Ying, the governor of Lingzhou, one for Shi Yang, the governor of Lingzhou, and one for Du Shanguo, the right guard of the East Palace. These three parts of the music play different things. Yang Ze played that Liang Shidu sent an envoy to Lingzhou with Shangshu Lu Jilan, and wanted to recruit Chen Ying. As a result, Chen Ying denounced Lu Jilan and Liang Shidu for being disloyal, unkind, unfilial, and unjust, and despicable, shameless and obscene villains.

As a result, Lu Jilan was actually scolded to death by Chen Ying.

Li Yuan naturally knew that Lu Jilan was this person, and when he entered Chang'an in his early years, he wrote a poem about Wutong, "Shake down the empty well, life and death are still heartfelt." Don't hesitate to get into the plan, but hate the few acquaintances. Back then, Li Yuan once commented that this poem was moaning without disease, and he hated Lu Jilan. At this time, Lu Jilan was actually scolded to death by Chen Ying, and Li Yuan was very happy in his heart. Li Yuan picked up the pen, and under Yang Ze's twists and turns, he willfully wrote a four-character comment "Great Happiness", and promoted Yang Ze to be a doctor. Three thousand horses of silk in charge of Lingzhou! ”

Yang Ze himself was dismissed from the fourth rank to the lower rank of the middle doctor, and now because of this twist, he is hereby promoted to the fourth rank to the top of the Taizhong doctor. I don't know if he will cry or laugh if he knows the news.

Then, the original right guard led the record to join the army (the record is not the chief of staff, but equivalent to the supervision of the army, and has the right to play directly) Du Shanguo reported: "The weather is about to warm up, the Turkic rangers are very dense in reconnaissance of Lingzhou, since entering February, Lingzhou has fought with the Turkic scouts more than 100 times, winning more than 300 defeats, and beheading more than 300 levels!" ”

However, when Li Yuan saw Chen Ying's performance, he almost tilted his nose. Li Yuan scolded indignantly: "Liu Zhongzhi, you dog, live up to my high expectations. ”

However, it didn't take a few days. Prince Li Jiancheng's illness suddenly worsened, vomiting and leaking, and he didn't get better, and now he suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, Li Yuan was suddenly anxious: "Come on, drive the East Palace!" ”

While he was talking, a man in a tattered eunuch uniform broke in, and crawled and knelt down in front of Li Yuan while screaming: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is not good...... That...... The ...... surnamed Chen It's ...... the other way around."

A foul smell emanated from him, and Li Yuan's eyes couldn't help but look at this person. After a while, this extremely embarrassed person turned out to be Liu Zhongzhi. Li Yuan was almost stunned by the stench emanating from Liu Zhongzhi's body, and immediately covered his nose and scolded: "You dog, what's wrong, who is against it?" ”

Liu Zhongzhi finally came to Chang'an like a lost dog. Since leaving Lingzhou these days, Liu Zhong has been screaming like a frightened bird, worried and scared day and night. In his dreams, Chen Ying cut off his head. So he traveled non-stop along the way, day and night, originally Lingzhou to Chang'an more than 2,000 miles of road, Liu Zhongzhi actually took seven days, in the second year of Wude on the tenth day of the second month of February.

In the past seven days, Liu Zhongzhi, like the soldiers in the other palace prison gates, has eaten and drunk on horseback. But the rare species of eunuchs is different from normal men, they don't have ***, and when they pee, they can easily splash on themselves. In just seven days, Liu Zhongzhi made himself a famous brand in later generations - Laotan sauerkraut.

Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment, only to find that even Pei Lin was present, and suddenly his neck shrank, and he stood up: "That's it...... It's Chen Ying, the governor of Lingzhou......"

As soon as the words came out, Pei Lian's heart was suddenly shocked, but his face was silent, as if he had heard but not heard.

When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly remembered Chen Ying's twists and turns, he glanced at Liu Zhongzhi and said, "You can tell me carefully!" ”

When Liu Zhong heard this, he recalled the pain of the bumps for several days, and couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and his tears poured down like a flood that broke the floodgate: he cried: "Your Majesty...... Slave, I almost never see you again...... surnamed Chen, he was going to rebel, and he almost killed the slave and maid to sacrifice the flag, if it weren't for the slave and maid to see that they fled quickly, the slave and maid, would ...... I will never see Your Majesty again. ”

Although Liu Zhongzhi's performance is excellent, because of preconceived notions, Li Yuan thinks that Liu Zhongzhi is acting, even if his acting skills are three-pointed, Li Yuan still doesn't believe it at all.

Li Yuan said coldly: "Okay, how did he do the opposite?" ”

As eunuchs, they have only one master, and that is the Ninety-Five Supreme. There are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, but in fact, there are only a few people who can come out, and every eunuch who can mix up is a human spirit. Of course, the observation of words and colors itself is like fire. Liu Zhongzhi heard the dissatisfaction in Li Yuan's heart, and was suddenly shocked: "What's the matter, the wind is not in the right direction?" ”

Liu Zhong said straightly: "He fornicated with the enemy and recruited rebels...... Stealing and selling ordnance, selling officials and lords......"

Speaking of this, Li Yuan's face became colder and colder: "Is there anything else?" ”

Liu Zhongzhi shuddered: "No...... Not...... Without! ”

"Someone!" Li Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "Pull this dog slave out, cane ...... Shoot! ”

"Your Majesty, wronged, wronged!"

Several sturdy eunuchs rushed up, pulled Liu Zhongzhi up, and walked out without saying anything. From time to time, Liu Zhongzhi's terrible screams sounded outside the hall.

Li Yuan suddenly smiled casually: "Eunuch Pei, do you think this Chen Ying has ambitions?" ”

Pei Lian's brows furrowed deeply, and the question Li Yuan asked also made him unable to think through.

Chen Ying should have ambitions, he can fully meet Liu Zhongzhi's coercion, and the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all. Chen Ying was unknown before, and he was originally a scholar of Su Hu, the county commander of Wannian County.

To say that Chen Ying has no ambition, he really can't see it at this time. The geographical location of Lingzhou is too important, whether it is Turkic or Liang Shidu or Datang, they all regard Lingzhou as a throat place. Whether it is facing the Turks or Liang Shidu, Chen Ying can be left and right, waiting for the price to sell.

However, Chen Ying would scold Lu Jilan to death, and openly scolded Liang Shidu, and the back road of Liang Guo was basically cut off.

Pei Lin is a smart person, he now knows that Li Yuan is only suspicious of Chen Ying, and this suspicion itself is not convincing, but Pei Lian's cleverness is that he neither wants to bear the crime of inspection, nor does he want to offend Chen Ying, a rising star of the Tang Dynasty.

So, Pei Lin bowed down and said: "The minister is stupid, I can't guess this person!" ”
