"Your Royal Highness Princess, you also know that the minister only had more than 4,000 soldiers at that time, and it was very difficult to resist the more than 200,000 Turkic troops, not to mention that the merit of killing the Turkic Khan was too great, and the minister was selfish. Just push the boat down the river and acquiesce to it! Chen Ying said: "In this matter, the minister didn't even say anything about His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked Her Royal Highness the princess to cover up one or two, and Chen Ying should be a cow and a horse to repay the princess for her great efforts!" ”

Chen Ying dared to say this to Li Xiuning, naturally he was not afraid of Li Xiuning and Li Yuan to verify. Including Ashina Simo, they all swore allegiance to Chen Ying, and let them make a false testimony, there was no problem at all.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "But...... What does this have to do with whether you go to Jinju or not? ”

"Questions? Big problem! Chen Ying's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Minister...... In fact, he also has selfish intentions, and he has been hungry with Tong Lifu in private, as long as the minister does not expose his plot to kill his brother and usurp the throne, he promises to the minister not to attack Lingzhou. Now ready to attack Jinju is the younger brother of Ashina Want, if the minister leads the army to support Jinzhou, Liverfisheth will definitely order his younger brother Ashina to attack the minister's department at all costs, when the time comes, it will not only be the danger of Jinzhou, it cannot be lifted, and it will also tire the army and lose the army! ”

When Li Xiuning heard this, he was immediately silent. As long as Chen Ying is dead, he will naturally not keep his promise to a dead man, as long as he storms Lingzhou, I am afraid that not only Jinzhou is dangerous, but Lingzhou will definitely not be able to be saved.

Chen Ying naturally knew that Li Yuanji relied on the identity of the fourth son of the emperor to act recklessly in Jinyang, which made people angry. Even if he was killed, he would not be willing to wade into this troubled water.

No matter what's wrong with this Li Yuanji, he is also the first brother of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the relationship is irreversible, not to mention that Chen Ying is the same as Pei Lian, and there is no way to take Li Yuanji. In case Li Yuanji's donkey temper comes up and forces himself to go to fight with the Turkic Ashina, Li Yuanji can really do this.

Moreover, Li Yuanji lost Jinyang because Liu Wuzhou led 5,000 cavalry to the Yellow Snake Ridge at that time, and Li Yuanji sent Zhang Da, a cavalry general, to lead 100 infantry to test first. Zhang Da suspected that there were too few people and insisted that he not go. Li Yuanji was forcibly dispatched, and as soon as he arrived at Yellow Snake Ridge, he was killed. Zhang Da was angry and angry, so he served as a guide for Liu Wuzhou to conquer Yuci County and enter the state.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the general of the cavalry was the second rank of the military general, second only to the captain and the general, and the second person in the real army. Although it was said that in the Tang Dynasty, the general of the Che Cavalry was only a permanent general of the fourth rank, but Li Yuanji forced a general at the regular army level to take a hundred soldiers as the commander of the reconnaissance company, which was definitely not done by people.

Li Xiuning was silent, his brows furrowed.

Chen Ying stepped forward and said cautiously: "Actually, the danger of Jinyang seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is not to worry!" ”

"Oh!" Li Xiuning asked curiously, "How do you say this?" ”

"Without him!" Chen Ying said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, the general manager of Jinyang, is too young and too light to serve the public, if you change an old minister with a load-bearing minister, control the army, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Jinyang, tens of thousands of stone savings of grain, and the foundation of the hearts of the Tang Dynasty in Jinyang, you will definitely be able to protect Jinyang as solid as gold." ”

……

At the same time, in the Manna Palace, an old eunuch with white sideburns but no beard carefully lit sandalwood for Li Yuan. This eunuch's name is Ma Shaohong, and now he is in the official residence and serves in the province. Recently, Li Yuan has not had a good sleep quality and often wakes up in nightmares. Ma Shaohong was anxious in his eyes and in his heart, so he asked the imperial doctor to mix a new type of sandalwood, and deliberately added some calming drugs to the sandalwood.

Mo was about half an hour younger, and Li Yuan was drowsy. Ma Shaohong walked in front of Li Yuan and was persuading Li Yuan to rest, but found that Li Yuan's eyes were shining.

Ma Shaohong was slightly surprised, opened his mouth, and finally closed his mouth. However, Ma Shaohong's every move was in Li Yuan's eyes. Li Yuan said: "You old thing, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go quickly!" ”

Ma Shaohong entered the palace when he opened the emperor for thirteen years, and now it has been almost thirty years, after Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Yang Yu, Li Yuan and four emperors, although Ma Shaohong is not the only favor of the saint, but he is also in the emperor's heart.

Seeing that Li Yuan was angry, Ma Shaohong said: "Now there is a rumor suddenly in Chang'an City, which has a nose and eyes, and the slave thinks that it is still necessary to let His Majesty know!" ”

"Oh!" A hint of surprise flashed between Li Yuan's eyebrows, he used the left prison guard to monitor Chang'an, it is said that there are any rumors, he should know, and he actually let an inner secretary know in advance. Li Yuan said: "What rumors? ”

Ma Shaohong bowed down and said: "It's about Chen, the governor of Lingzhou!" ”

This so-called rumor, in fact, Li Yuan has really heard it. Roughly speaking, Chen Ying, the new governor of Lingzhou, was originally the twentieth son of Chen Shubao, the queen of Chen, and his real name was Chen Xuan. Yang Jian destroyed Chen, and Chen Shubao was captured and imprisoned in Luoyang.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he gradually relaxed his vigilance against Chen Shubao, and even Chen Shubao's fifth son, Chen Qian, the king of the South China Sea, was later appointed by Yang Guang as Zhuo Ling. The sixth son, Xinyi Wang Chen Yi, is the general speaker in the great cause. The seventh son, Chen Jing, the king of Shaoling, was the son of the country in the great cause. Chen Zhuang, the king of the Eight Sons Society, is in the great cause, and it is the order of Changlong. The ninth son, Dongyang Wang Chen Tan, is a general speaker in the great cause. The tenth son, Chen Fan, the king of Wujun, was appointed as the city commander in the great cause.

The twentieth son Chen Xuan, finally under the advice of Chen Shubao's half-brother Chen Shuda, escaped from Luoyang, where Chen Shubao was detained, and finally Chen Xuan escaped under the protection of his cronies' family and soldiers, fled to Chang'an, took refuge in the Su Hu Mansion, and grew up as a domestic slave.

This statement is very decent, in terms of age, Chen Shubao died in the fourth year of Renshou (604 AD), in this year Yang Jian died of illness, before and after, Yang Guang's main energy was on seizing the throne. Chen Ying looks sixteen or seventeen years old this year, but the exact information obtained from the Suhu Mansion says that Chen Ying Ying was born in the first year of Renshou (601 AD), which means that Chen Ying's real age is now eighteen years old, but because of his fair skin, he looks smaller. To say that Chen Ying is Chen Xuan, the son of the queen of Chen, this is indeed a possible thing.

In addition, Chen Ying's ability to organize the army in Jingyang and manage the military is quite powerful, and the ability to quell the rebellion in the side of the enterprise and enter the Lingzhou is by no means something that an ordinary slave can do, so although this rumor has only risen recently, it has spread over time.

If this news was in Yang Guang's period, Yang Guang would not have taken it to heart at all. Now in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan is even more worried, in person, if Chen Ying is really Chen Shubao's son, he can use it to recover Jiangnan in the future, let Chen Ying take command of the expedition, or accompany the army to comfort the people of Jiangnan.

"It's nonsense, don't pay attention to it!" Li Yuan scoffed: "It's been thirty years since Chen died, even if Chen Shubao is alive, what role can he play?" ”

Ma Shaohong smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave should be a joke, these things, in fact, it is not hard to verify them, now this Chen Shuda is in Chang'an, serving as a waiter in the Yellow Gate, he is the party concerned, the truth of the matter, you will know it when you ask." ”

Li Yuan nodded: "It's night, rest in peace!" ”

Just then, footsteps rang out. A small eunuch bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the king of Guangning County asks to see you!" ”

The King of Quang Ninh is the title of Li Daoxing, and he, like Li Daozong, is the grandson of Li Yuan's fourth uncle, Li Zhang. can also be regarded as Li Yuan's cousin.

Li Yuan naturally knew what Li Daoxing wanted to do, and said without doubt: "No! ”

The little eunuch said again: "The king of Guangning County said, His Majesty is gone, and he will kneel and die outside the palace!" ”

"Hmph, let him kneel if he wants to!" Li Yuan brushed his sleeves and said, "Get up and go to Concubine Yin De." ”
