Chapter 14 Heavenly Anger and Resentment of the People and Betrayal of Relatives (for the Hall Master Yuehuangtai Ten Thousand Rewards and Changes)

Fang Xuanling seemed to be prepared, and took out a piece of music from his arms.

Li Jiancheng took it, looked at it hurriedly, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

Fang Xuanling wrote a lot of words on the fold, dense, all of them were fly-headed small letters, and Chen Ying roughly estimated that there were no less than 10,000 words.

Of course, 10,000 words are nothing in later generations, and there are more books of 10 million words, the key is that at this time, the general recital is dozens or hundreds of words, which is remarkable and sprinkled with hundreds of words.

Even if it is a huge work used to worship the heavens, it is only three or five thousand words, but it is all big and empty nonsense.

Li Jiancheng did not show Chen Ying the fold in his hand, and Chen Ying was also happy to be quiet.

After all, Chen Ying's purpose has been achieved.

Li Jiancheng agreed to migrate 30,000 households to Lingzhou, 100,000 to the Western Regions, 100,000 to Henan, and 30,000 to Hedong.

This time, due to the food crisis in Guanzhong, a total of 260,000 households were relocated, accounting for about a quarter of the population of Guanzhong. In other words, at least millions of stone of grain can be saved to be transported to Guanzhong.

Population is the foundation of everything, and without population, whether it is tuntian or development, it is empty talk. For example, the Western Regions accounted for about a quarter of the Tang Empire (larger than the current territory of Xinjiang), but in fact the population was only about 1.5 million, which was only one-tenth of the Tang Empire.

Chen Ying was very eager to run the Western Regions into a country of abundance, and once this happened, all dynasties would not despise the Western Regions.

Chen Ying saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quietly moved a position, looking for a soft couch, and lay lazily on his back.

However, Chen Ying was fine when he didn't lie down, but as soon as he lay down, he quickly fell asleep.

Listening to Chen Ying's snoring, Li Jiancheng followed the sound but saw that Chen Ying was sleeping soundly.

Wei Zheng got up and wanted to shake Chen Ying awake.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said: "Xuancheng, forget it, in recent days, General Chen has worked harder than all of us!" ”

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling was very unimpressed.

In fact, there are also secrets in Chang'an City that Fang Xuanling does not know.

What's more, Wei Ting has almost swept away Li Shimin's Hundred Cavalry Division, and now Fang Xuanling's news is relatively closed. He may be able to guess that the price of grain in Chang'an is someone secretly playing tricks, but he doesn't know at all that Chen Ying is using his own way to repay the other at this time.

Li Jiancheng followed Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others to continue to discuss the details of streamlining the administration of the elite army, but Li Jiancheng deliberately kept people away from Chen Ying and did not let them speak loudly, disturbing Chen Ying's sleep.

asked Gong'e to cover Chen Ying with a quilt, afraid that Chen Ying would catch a cold.

Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others are all crazy at work, and when the rooster crows three times, this discussion is over.

Leaving the Xiande Palace, when Fang Xuanling returned to Menxia Province, it was already dark.

Fang Xuanling yawned and walked into the hall, looking at his colleagues who were already in good spirits.

Fang Xuanling walked straight to his public case, and then shouted to Ling Shi, who was waiting at the door: "There is hot water, send a bowl of hot tea soup to a certain person." ”

Ling Shi, who was in charge of running errands, went out with a bang.

All the officials stared at Fang Xuanling with strange eyes.

The provincial Lang Zhong said with a look of surprise: "Last night, Your Majesty didn't cut off his head?" ”

The little official felt that something was wrong, like this kind of little official was a person who observed words and feelings, he looked at Fang Xuanling and was actually fine, which meant that Fang Xuanling was in the emperor's heart, and when he thought of this, he felt that something was wrong.

Another subordinate chuckled and said, "Definitely, it's coming!" ”

After a while, Fang Xuanling sat in front of the desk and fell asleep.

At this moment, an attendant walked into the hall with a central decree in his hand.

All the officials stood up and saluted.

The chamberlain looked around the hall, but didn't find Fang Xuanling's shadow, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Fang Xuanling?" ”

The provincial lang under the door looked at Fang Xuanling, and at this time, Fang Xuanling put his soft feet on his face and breathed a long breath.

Fang Xuanling is different from Chen Ying, Chen Ying sleeps and snores, but Fang Xuanling doesn't snore, so everyone didn't notice it for a while.

The chamberlain looked at everyone and turned their eyes to Fang Xuanling.

The provincial man under the door was in a hurry, ran to Fang Xuanling, raised his fist and was about to smash it into the case.

The chamberlain stretched out his hand to stop Lang Zhong under the door, handed the holy decree to Lang Zhong's hand and said: "A commendation decree is not very important, it doesn't hurt to wait for a while!" ”

Everyone had to cry in the main hall of Menxia Province and wait for Fang Xuanling to sleep.

Fang Xuanling slept for half an hour before waking up.

However, seeing the waiter come out in front of him, Fang Xuanling was still startled.

The waiter said with a smile on his face: "In the middle of the matter, Fang Xuanling will receive the order!" ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly got up, and Shi Shiran walked in front of the chamberlain.

The chamberlain cleared his throat, opened the decree and read it: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: Under the door, Yao Zhiyu, Shun Mao Gaotao, Zhou Feng Baiyu, Qin Zhiminjue, Counseling Doctor, Giving Matters to Fang Xuanling, Career and Ability, Cai Yun Zhongxian, Zuo Wang turned his way of governance, and planned to plan for Qianli, you can enter Xiangcheng County, increase Lu Huang, Yongye, Yin, and Silk as an example, Yu Ru, E, Wude seven years and June Yisi!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling looked as usual, took the order, and after Shi Shiran walked back to the case, he sat down and began to act as an officer.

……

When Chen Ying woke up, Li Jiancheng was by Chen Ying's side.

A few days ago, a person was eating breakfast, a few boiled eggs, a bowl of tofu soup, and a bowl of millet porridge.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "If you're hungry, hurry up and wash up and eat together!" ”

As he spoke, several eunuchs and palace ladies holding copper basins, willow branches, refined salt, and towels came to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying tried the water temperature, it was lukewarm and hot, he quickly washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and sat opposite Li Jiancheng.

At this time, Gong E brought breakfast to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying thought that it would be the same as Li Jiancheng, it was simple and trouble-free, but he never thought that it would be a yokan.

The so-called yokan, in fact, Chen Ying rarely eats it. Because the production is very troublesome, according to legend, the yokan is the "yokan" made by Song Mao Xiuzhi after the Wei Dynasty during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, called it "absolute taste", and Emperor Taiwu of Wei was happy to eat, and he took it as the official order to repair it. It is a special accompaniment dish in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Wash the chestnut fruit, remove impurities, remove the water after cooking, and put it on the mat to dry or dry. After drying, crushing, blowing off the skin with a windmill, processing it into powder with a grinding or crusher, after 120 mesh sifting to get chestnut pink beans, wash and boil for a while to add alkali, pour off the alkali (remove the mucus), wash it with water, add water and cook it in a pot until it blooms. The boiled adzuki beans are fed to a stone mill with water and ground together, the bean paste is separated from the skin with a fine basket yarn, and the bean paste is shaken dry with water until it is held in a ball.

Then pour it into the old mutton soup and cook, and stir constantly throughout the boiling process to prevent burning. The boiled pulp is poured into a mold lined with tin foil bottom with a funnel and cooled in an ice cellar.

Chen Ying is not unaffordable, the taste of this kind of yokan is smooth and delicious, not fat or greasy, and there is no mutton fat, the key manufacturing process is too cumbersome, and it is time-consuming and laborious, Chen Ying is too lazy to get it.

Chen Ying knew that Li Jiancheng didn't like to eat this kind of thing, but he deliberately asked people to prepare it for him, and Chen Ying was also very moved.

Chen Ying ate the yokan, which was really delicious.

Then, Gong E sent more than a dozen dishes.

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "How can the minister ......?"

Li Jiancheng said: "These days have been hard work, and it should be made up!" ”

Chen Ying did not waste Li Jiancheng's kindness and ate happily.

When Chen Ying finished eating, Gong'e sent a cup of tea.

Only then did Li Jiancheng hand a silk book to Chen Yingdao: "This is the disaster relief strategy that I discussed with Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling last night, you can take a look at it first." ”

Chen Ying excitedly took the silk book, read two lines, and his face suddenly changed.

Chen Ying hurriedly sat down and read carefully, his face becoming more and more ugly.

Chen Ying raised his head with difficulty and looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, this disaster relief strategy must not be exhausted. ”

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Why?" ”

Chen Ying shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "This strategy, if it is implemented, Your Majesty will become the only husband referred to by Qianfu!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at the silk book on the desk with a solemn face, and said with a long sigh: "I know, but I am not afraid!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "First, open the Guanyi and let the people go to eat; second, exempt Guanzhong and Kanto from taxation for three years; The minister has no opinion on these two things! Even if it is the third, disarmament, all the government soldiers who have been assembled and ready to fight will be sent home, reduce the military expenditure of the imperial court, and increase agricultural power...... The minister also has no opinion. However, fourth, the clan downgraded the title, and the titles of all clans surnamed Li were reduced from the county king to the county duke, reducing their fiefdoms; Fifth, it is absolutely not possible to streamline the number of officials of the provincial court, reduce the number of salaries, and reduce the official expenses of various government offices! ”

After Chen Ying finished speaking, he stared at Li Jiancheng and said: "Fang Xuanling is really bold, he braves the disapproval of the world, he wants to take one breath, and will close the Longshi clan, the Tang clan, the military generals, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, offend the light, by the way, let the emperor and the court, in front of the world, lose face." ”

In fact, Chen Ying even had some doubts about Fang Xuanling's true intentions.

Li Jiancheng, the emperor, is different from the emperors of all dynasties, after all, there is a Li Yuan above him, although Li Yuan is now in the Manna Palace, but Li Yuan is alive after all.

Although it is reasonable to say that Chen Ying also agrees with these five disaster relief strategies, he definitely does not agree with doing it now.

You must know that the kings of the clan agreed to cooperate with Li Jiancheng and put pressure on Li Yuan to force Li Yuan to abdicate the throne, and it was because Chen promised them huge benefits, so they stood on Li Jiancheng's side.

Now as long as Li Jiancheng dares to surrender their lordship, they will definitely turn to surrender to Li Yuan.

What's more, at this time, it is not only the clan that is shaken, but also the official, the army, and all aspects.

Once this strategy is implemented, Li Jiancheng's real ruling crisis will come.

I'm afraid that no matter how strong Chen Ying is, he won't be able to turn the tide.

Of course, everything is not said to be beneficial. Just like Yang Guang in history, using the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south, and the goods to the world, can be regarded as a merit. He proposed the policy of imperial examinations, which had a far-reaching impact.

As a man, you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open, Yang Guang beat Goguryeo, that is because Goguryeo is invading Liaoxi, can it be said that Goguryeo will invade and never resist?

Any emperor who is a little bloody will not allow his territory, cities, and people to be invaded. Otherwise, the country will not be a country.

However, Yang Guang did everything, but he became the king of the country.

As the king of the dead country in history, Yang Guang is the most pitiful, the most pathetic, and not one of them. He wanted to be a good emperor, but he became a sinner for the ages.

Because, you can't take too big a step, otherwise you will be like Wang Mang, easy to pull eggs.

Once Li Jiancheng implements Fang Xuanling's strategy, he will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people, and everyone will rebel and leave!

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "What do I have to do?" ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Sword mountain and sea of fire, the minister will accompany His Majesty to break through!" ”

……

Early the next morning, a grand pilgrimage meeting was held. Li Jiancheng sat on the throne expressionlessly, and the civil and military ministers were divided into two compartments.

The ministers looked at the chamberlains who appeared in the court meeting with different expressions.

The eunuchs were holding the documents and handing them out to the ministers who participated in the court meeting.

Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi glanced at each other and then took the document and looked at it.

The ministers began to look through it one after another.

The buzz in the hall gradually became louder.

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and looked at the increasingly excited ministers below.

Standing beside Chen Ying, a military general stood out impressively. Chen Ying raised his eyes and saw that it was Xue Wanche. I saw Xue Wanche say loudly: "Your Majesty, this strategy cannot be rashly implemented. ”

"yes, absolutely not!"

"This law is a disaster for the country and the people!"

"If you do the opposite, the country will not be a country!"

……

Officials came out one after another to echo it.

Li Jiancheng turned his gaze to Xiao Yu and other important ministers in the front row and said, "What does Xiao Linggong think?" ”

Xiao Yu came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "The old minister thinks that this strategy is a strategy for the destruction of the country. ”

Li Jiancheng's eyebrows were raised, and he said unhappily: "What about the will of the country?" ”

Feng Deyi thought for a while and said, "The minister seconded Xiao Xiang. ”

Xiao Yu said angrily: "Fang Xuanling's strategy is purely a disaster to the country and chaos, please behead Fang Xuanling to appease the dynasty."

The officials immediately echoed Xiao Yu.

Li Jiancheng waited until the reprimands in the court stopped, and finally there was less discussion in the hall.

Li Jiancheng shouted: "Which of you can come up with a better way? ”

The officials were silent.

……

On the training ground, the soldiers gathered in twos and threes to rest.

One soldier said, "Hey, have you heard?" The imperial court is going to cut the army and let us go home and farm!"

Everyone commented: "Really? ”

"yes, don't lie to us!"

"If I can go home, it will be great!"

"Yes, I haven't seen my daughter-in-law for three years!"

The crowd laughed and said, "Look at your little bit of talent!" ”

An old soldier who was over half a hundred years old sighed and said: "You still have a hope when you go back, we who have no home or job, we can't starve to death when we go back?" ”

"There's always a way for the imperial court, right? We have fought all these years of fighting, how can we go back empty-handed. A lieutenant muttered: "Over the years, I have been fighting and killing, and I have suffered a lot of injuries, if I can go back, I will have a few acres of thin fields to retire, and I will be content......

"We just can't bear the general, we can't bear you brothers......"

Everyone was stunned, and then fell silent.

……

Wei Chi Jingde walked into the lobby with an angry face, threw the document on the ground, and trampled on it with his feet.

The generals such as Xue Wanche and Feng Li in the back also followed Wei Chi Jingde's example and stepped on or tore the papers.

Wei Chi Jingde scolded loudly: "Fang Xuanling, the remnant of the Qin Palace, harbors evil intentions, a certain family has long seen that he is not a good thing!" Your Majesty has been bewitched by this demon again and again. ”

Feng Li roared indignantly: "This guy, why don't you make up your mind, you actually use your brains on the government soldiers, his grandmother's, without the twelve guards of the government soldiers, what will the Tang Dynasty take, Gong Wei Sheji?" ”

Wei Chigong raised his fist and shouted: "I want to see who has the guts to dismiss us!" ”

PS: Now there are ten more league leaders left, starting tomorrow, there will be 4,000 words a day! owes ten more, Lao Cheng is not afraid, and he can repay the debt if he bursts his liver. Let the storm come harder!
