Chapter 219 is an even more dangerous battlefield

"Father asked the palace to recommend a Xuanwu Gate Forbidden Army general!" In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said: "It is difficult to make a decision in this palace for a while, please ask Mr. to help me refer to the details!" ”

Wei Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he smiled leisurely: "Has Your Highness chosen someone in your heart?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said: "The Xuanwu Gate Tun of the Forbidden Army will be the general of Yulin Zhonglang, belonging to the rank of the fourth rank of Zhuangwu general, and the same level as the left and right Qingdao rates. The other is in the Hebei battlefield, saving Chang He, who was driving. ”

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed, although the Xuanwu Gate Yulin Zhonglang is only a strong general of the fourth grade, but the forbidden soldiers and horses are only two generals from the third grade; The four strong generals are Zhonglang Generals, that is to say, this is a manifestation of Li Yuan's trust in Li Jiancheng, of course, this trust is conditional, how can it not be a test for Li Jiancheng.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng said, "Which general does Your Highness prefer more?" ”

Li Jiancheng said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is Wei Chi Jingde, after all, he has followed the widow for many years, and he has a temperament, and he is quite in agreement with the widow." What's more, he's more at ease! ”

Wei Zheng said: "The Xuanwu Gate camp is the throat of the Taiji Palace, the general in charge of the forbidden army, loyalty is more important than intimacy, Your Highness may wish to give these two people a try." ”

"Try?" Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously: "How to try?" ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "You might as well ......"

As he spoke, Wei Zheng whispered in Li Jiancheng's ear.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng suddenly said: "Come on, pass on General Chang He!" ”

After a while, Chang He, who was dressed in a drape, came slowly, Chang He was wearing a tiger's back, with a righteous face and an excellent appearance. In terms of appearance, Chang He is indeed more pleasing to the eye than Wei Chigong, who has a dark face and is like a fierce god.

Chang He respectfully saluted and said: "The last general will meet His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince's orders are?" ”

Li Jiancheng pretended to say: "Chang He, now that the imperial court is preparing for the border and defending against the Turks, there is a vacancy in the commander of soldiers and horses in the strategically important city of Gyeongju, and the widow wants to select a person from the East Palace General Zuo to serve for this position, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Chang He Mu thought for a while: "The last general is a rough man, he can only go into battle to kill, wield a knife and cut people, and he can barely make do with guarding the city, but he is absolutely incompetent." Your Highness, the last general is still willing to stay by His Highness's side and be a personal guard. ”

Li Jiancheng said again: "You have to think about it clearly, although Gyeongju is the governor's office of Xiazhou, but the governor of a state has awarded General Yunlu, from the third grade, with the side of the palace, only one guard rate, but the fourth grade!" ”

Chang He said with a humble face: "Your Highness, the minister is a rough person, and he is not the material to be an official at all, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not like me, I will resign and return to the field!" ”

As he spoke, Chang He slowly took off his helmet, took off the waist card of the right Qingdao rate of the East Palace, and put it in front of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng smiled a little embarrassedly: "General Chang, what are you doing, the palace is just casually talking, but this is really a good opportunity, out of the town and a state, it can be regarded as a feudal official, and the lintel of the glory is ......."

Chang He knelt on one knee and didn't say a word.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chang He very realistically, nodded and said, "You go back first!" Rest assured that the widow will not be unkind to the faithful. ”

Chang He got up and left slowly.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who was hiding behind the screen, slowly walked out.

Wei Zheng looked at Chang He's back thoughtfully, and at the moment when Chang He left, he clearly showed a smug look, why did Chang He show this look? This made Wei Zheng puzzled.

As for what Chang He said that he had no career in office, Wei Zhengquan thought that what he said was. The people who came out of Wagangzhai, if they didn't have the heart of the career, would have retired long ago. If you want to make money, over the years with Li Mi, even the generals at the level of captain have made a lot of money.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng pushed Wei Zheng and said, "Xuan Cheng, what do you think?" ”

Wei Zheng wanted to say that it was Chang He, but seeing Chang He's strange expression, Wei Zheng was a little uncertain. Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's not be busy making up our minds first, let's take a look at General Wei Chi!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "That's fine! ”

When Wei Chigong arrived, Li Jiancheng said the same thing to Wei Chigong. Li Jiancheng quietly waited for Yu Chigong's performance, but Wei Chigong said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, look at this!" ”

As he spoke, Wei Chigong handed the secret letter to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng took the secret letter, glanced at it hurriedly, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said to Wei Zheng behind the screen: "Xuancheng, look! ”

Wei Zheng walked to Li Jiancheng's side without embarrassment, and when he received the letter, he hurriedly glanced at it and said, "This letter is fake!" ”

When Wei Chigong heard this, he was obviously relieved.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, you should have a lot of letters from General Chen here!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

"Please also find a few letters at will!" Wei Zheng was very cautious, he knew that Wei Chigong was thick and detailed, and he definitely didn't believe in himself so easily. He had to come up with evidence that could convince Wei Chigong, otherwise it would be bad if there was a gap.

After a while, Li Jiancheng took out a stack of more than a dozen Nobunaga letters and handed them to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng didn't look at it, opened a letter casually, then picked up the letterhead, handed it to Wei Chigong and said, "Look at it, what is the difference between the two letters?" ”

Wei Chigong looked at it for a long time, but did not find any differences, but felt that the handwriting of the two letters was almost identical.

Wei Zheng took the letter paper, looked towards the light, pointed to the watermark mark in the signature on the paper and said: "This is General Chen's unique secret, and there will be a Chen character watermark where he signs it." This is a typo, and it was also deliberately written by General Chen! ”

In fact, although Wei Zheng was smart, he didn't know that this was not a typo at all, but just a combination of the traditional and simple versions of Chen characters. This kind of watermark imprint hidden in the ink cannot be detected at all if you don't look at the light or sunlight.

Wei Chi was suspicious and suspicious, and slowly compared a few letters, and found that all the letters written by Chen Ying to Li Jiancheng had this kind of watermark, and this letter to Wei Zheng only had similar handwriting.

Wei Zheng pointed to the letter in Wei Chigong's hand and said, "In addition to the secret detention, this letter has another difference!" ”

Wei Chigong had already believed that this secret letter was fake, but he still asked in surprise, "What's the difference?" ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "This fake letter is written on rice paper, but General Chen never writes letters on rice paper, what is the difference between this kind of paper and rice paper?" ”

Li Jiancheng's head flashed with inspiration, and he exclaimed: "The widow understands, this is exactly the same as the fake edict of Hebei!" ”

Wei Chigong said suspiciously: "What is the purpose of their doing this?" ”

Wei Zheng snorted and laughed: "General Wei Chi, if this letter is true, what will you do?" ”

Wei Chigong said with a murderous face: "I will kill Wei Fuzi first, and then kill ......."

Wei Chigong knew that he had lost his words and hurriedly confessed.

Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng's eyes met in the air, and the two laughed almost at the same time: "General Wei Chi, why don't you be happy with revenge?" ”

"Revenge?" Wei Chigong suddenly realized.

Li Jiancheng looked at the wall from the wall, took a short knife and handed it to Yu Chigong, Wei Chigong looked at the knife, the short blade was no more than a foot long, the back of the knife was about two fingers wide, and there were serrations on the back of the knife, looking murderous.

Li Jiancheng pressed his thumb on the copper-colored button of the knife handle, only to hear a soft "click", and the blade was neatly retracted into the handle.

Wei Chigong exclaimed in surprise and said, "There is still such a mechanism? ”

Wei Zheng said: "General Wei Chi, you can use this knife to stab me in the chest tonight, when Wei Zheng returns to the door of his house after Wei Zheng is on duty!" ”

Wei Chigong suddenly realized.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing, please do it yourself!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "What's the matter? ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, killing the ministers one after another is not good for the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and Your Highness should save Du Fuwei's life." ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously: "Save Du Fuwei's life?" Where does this start, Erlang has already married Du Fuwei and Jin Lan, and the palace disdains to deal with Du Fuwei, who will deal with Du Fuwei? ”

Wei Zheng said: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness also advised His Majesty not to kill Dou Jiande, but Dou Jiande is still dead, and there is also the Hebei Rebellion, nominally Du Fuwei has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but there are still tens of thousands of well-equipped Jianghuai troops under his command!" ”

Li Jiancheng asked incredulously: "How is this possible, Erlang and Du Fuwei ...... to bow down?"

"Du Fuwei is alive, and the Jianghuai Army will only obey Du Fuwei's orders!" Wei Zheng said: "Now that the Qin Wangfu has just made out the matter of Hebei, and immediately separated the monarchs and ministers of the East Palace, if Wei Zheng is not bad, the King of Qin and Du Fuwei are also a conspiracy!" ”

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy? Li Jiancheng said.

Wei Chigong listened to Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng's words, and neither did he leave, nor did he stay.

He's a smart guy and he knows a truth.

The more you know, the faster you die.

Wei Zheng smiled: "What does King Qin need?" ”

"Great work!" Li Jiancheng blurted out: "It's a great achievement!" ”

"Not bad!" Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Wuyuan Li Jing has been appointed as the governor of Liangzhou, the king of Zhaojun has gone out of the town of Bashu to pacify Jiannan Dao, once there is a change in Jianghuai, hundreds of thousands of Jianghuai troops will make a rebellion, when the time comes, who will the imperial court send to quell the Jianghuai rebellion?" ”

Wei Chigong said without hesitation: "King Qin! ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and was silent for a while.

He knows very well that with Li Yuan's temperament. Li Yuan, who has just made Li Jiancheng make great contributions in Hebei and is in the limelight, will definitely not allow Li Jiancheng to make meritorious contributions again, otherwise Li Shimin will not be able to suppress Li Jiancheng at all. In this case, it will definitely be allowed to let the Qin Wangfu or a series of people and horses to quell the Jianghuai Rebellion.

It is man who dies for money, and birds die for food.

Li Shimin is eager to get military merits, and for the sake of military merits, he can concoct the Hebei Rebellion, so in the same way, what is it to force Jiang Fu Gongyou to rebel?

What's more, once Du Fuwei is dead, the Jianghuai army will rebel, and once Du Fuwei is dead, Du Fuwei's death can be detained on Li Jiancheng's head, after all, Li Shimin and Du Fuwei formed a political alliance with Jinlan, in this case, Li Jiancheng has absolute motives to deal with Du Fuwei.

Hearing this, Yu Chigong felt a chill in his back.

It's so scary, he never thought that the political struggle could be played like this, it's just killing people without seeing blood.

Let him have a brain circuit, I'm afraid no matter how much he thinks about it, he can't think of this!

Wei Zheng continued: "Du Fuwei can't die, and the Jianghuai army can't rebel, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will definitely have wolf smoke again!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "This palace understands!" ”

……

On October 22, the sixth year of Wude, a blizzard fell from the sky, covering Shule City with a world of ice and snow. The fly in the ointment was that the blizzard exceeded the expectations of the people of Shule City, and more than 1,000 houses were crushed by the heavy snow.

Ice and snow are ruthless, Chen should be affectionate. Chen Ying immediately ordered the Anxi Army to allocate 3,000 tents and more than 10,000 individual field rations for disaster relief.

The use of troops to provide disaster relief is very rare in the world, and of course I rabbit is an exception. Most of the military discipline of the Anxi Army was plagiarized by Chen Ying, so the Anxi Army heard the order to participate in the disaster relief.

Looking at the teams of Anxi Army soldiers rushing into the disaster area that was crushed by the snow, some people who didn't know the truth cursed angrily: "Damn, there is really no way to live!" ”

Although the snow disaster is cruel, compared to hurricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis or floods, it is already a very mild disaster, unless the whole family sleeps to death, otherwise when the blizzard is a disaster, the people actually have signs, and there are not many people who are directly stoned to death by the house.

Although the house collapsed, their belongings did not lose much, but as these Anxi soldiers rushed to the disaster area, these affected people began to react violently, some of them picked up wooden sticks, or picked up a brick, once the Anxi soldiers dared to rob their belongings, they were desperate!

However, the officers and men of the Anxi Army who rushed to the disaster area did not loot property or forcibly rob women as the people imagined, but scattered in groups one by one.

An Anxi military academy captain shouted: "Who is Lizheng, is he dead, he has not come out!" ”

The snotty elder Li Zheng asked timidly: "Little old man Ke Mengde, this military master, I don't know what to do?" ”

The captain of the Anxi Military Academy said: "You are Lizheng?" ”

Ke Mengde nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Captain Anxi said: "How many of your families have been affected by the disaster, take a few people to get tents, and others are ready to pick up the house and search for and rescue the others!" ”

Chen Ying was not omnipotent, and casualties were inevitable, but because General Anxi quickly dispatched to participate in the disaster relief, no vicious incidents of smashing and looting were found during the snow disaster. Due to Chen Ying's quick response, he won the praise of the victims and the people of Shule.

For a time, Chen Ying was not only famous in the Western Regions, but also benevolent.

Li Xiuning brought a bowl of noodles made by the maidservant to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying glanced at the noodle bowl, but he didn't move, and after a long time, Chen Ying said in a hurry: "Sanniang, you say, what did I do wrong?" "Imperial court, why are you treating me like this?"

Li Xiuning sighed silently, put down the bowl, and hugged Chen Ying's head.

Chen Ying leaned into Li Xiuning's arms, his eyes becoming more and more confused. Chen Ying muttered: "When Datang was in crisis, although I was constantly fighting, my life was comfortable. Now that Datang has leveled the four seas and dominated the world, why is my life so difficult now? In the face of the enemy on the battlefield, I have no fear at all, why does the court still guard me like a thief? Li Xiuning patted Chen Ying's shoulder soothingly, put his face against the top of his head and said, "Chen Lang, you made a great mistake. ”

Chen Yinghuo's eyes widened and he looked at Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning said: "You are wrong, you are wrong, you don't know that Chang'an is also a battlefield - a battlefield without swords and swords, but even more dangerous!" ”
