"What is penicillin?" Li Xiuning asked curiously.

Chen Yingdao: "It's a miraculous medicine that is very effective in treating traumatic infections. I saw it from an ancient prescription, but I don't know how to make this medicine."

Li Xiuning showed a look of disappointment, and after a while, he said leisurely: "If this operation was invented earlier and promoted in the whole army, I don't know how many people will die."

Chen Yingdao: "It's not too late now!"

"Father is too stingy, why did he reward a fifth-rank martial official and actually confer a sixth-rank captain." Li Xiuning frowned and said, "Why don't you give him a title too?"

When Chen Ying heard this, he was ecstatic.

The fifth-rank martial official, the sixth-rank real job.If it is placed in later generations, at least it can be regarded as a department and level cadre.Sixth-rank officials under the age of 20 are also rare in the world.

"I'm not young anymore, I'm not young anymore!" Chen Yingdao: "I'm still young now, and I'm looking for a Marquis with a three-foot Qingfeng. One day, I will also be a Marquis and a general, and I will be a general and a prime minister."

"The tone is really not small!"

"Of course!"

"There is one thing I hope you don't mind!" Li Xiuning said, "Is that the Yongying Camp in Jingyang Township, which the imperial court reorganized into Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou?"

"Let's reorganize it!" Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "Being recruited by the court, the brothers can be regarded as having mixed backgrounds, it's better than having no name or title."

Seeing Li Xiuning hesitate to speak, Chen Ying said, "Is it true that all the generals in Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou will be replaced?"

Li Xiuning said, "It's not like everyone will change. According to the Ministry of War, Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou is designated as the military mansion of Shangzhou. There are four regiments under its jurisdiction, and each regiment has three brigades under its jurisdiction. The whole mansion is fully staffed." One thousand 250 people."

Chen Yingdao: "Then the soldiers are not enough, the Jingzhou Zhechong Mansion plus the lightly and seriously wounded, is less than a thousand?"

Li Xiuning said: "The 200 people under the command of Xue Wanche, the right leader of Donggong, plus 50 people from the Marriage Office of King Zhao's Mansion, were all reorganized into Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou. Acknowledge Zuo and You Guoyi as deputy lieutenants, don't generalize Yu Wenbao from Prince Zhao's family, and Donggong Xiaoqi Zhang Da, Meng Changze, Shang Yu and Li Liangheng respectively serve as regimental captains!"

Chen Yingdao: "What about Zhang Huaiwei and You Ziying?"

Li Xiuning said: "This...they have another important task!"

Chen Ying suddenly understood that Li Jiancheng really made a move.

Li Jiancheng is also a person who is good at timing. Jingyang is [-] miles away, and he can reach the city of Chang'an within a day by marching quickly. Donggong can be regarded as controlling a direct army.The key is that this army is right under Chang'an's nose.

Zhang Huaiwei and You Ziying, like Chen Ying, belong to the founders of Jingyang Township Yongying, and their prestige in the army is not low. If they cannot be recruited, it will be difficult to fully grasp the Jingzhou Zhechong Mansion. The safest way is to transfer them Out of Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou, from Captain Zhechong to Deputy Lieutenant Guoyi, Bie Jiang, Chang Shi and the captains of the various regiments, they are all old members of the East Palace. I am afraid that the imperial decree is not as good as Li Jiancheng's order in Zhechong Mansion in Jingzhou at this time. up.

On the contrary, Chen Ying was very calm. No matter what, Li Jiancheng did not do anything wrong. At least he retained his position as brigade commander and team officer of the Jingyang Township Bravery Troupe. Chen Ying fulfilled his promise.Of Qin Gu's four sons, except for the fourth son Qin Ziyong who died in battle, the other three sons were all named Cong Qipin Brigade Commander.

On the third day of August in the first year of Wude, a total of more than 260 people from the Qin Palace led by Chen Ying, Zhang Huaiwei, You Ziying, and Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning returned to Chang'an.

Chen Yingwang looked like he couldn't ride a horse, so he was reclining on an open carriage.The carriage was loaded with the ceremony sent by Qin Gu and other gentry from Jingyang County. If it weren’t for Chen Ying, Jingyang might have been slaughtered by Zong Luohu just like in history. Of the [-] people, only [-] people survived. .

Although one of Qin Gu's sons died, he had four remaining sons, three of whom became military officers of the seventh rank, and the Qin family in Jingyang also became a prominent family.Qin Gu was very generous to Chen Ying. He not only sent one hundred pieces of Shu brocade, but also two hundred pieces of silver medals, no more than 1000 taels.

In the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver were not currency in circulation, but as a precious metal, silver could be traded in bulk.The money was given by Qin Gu to Chen Ying to buy a house in Chang'an. 1000 taels of silver is equivalent to a thousand guan, and you can buy a small courtyard with three entrances in Chang'an City.

Chen Ying looked back at Jingyang City, with a look of deep doubt on his face.

"Reluctant to leave Jingyang?" Ma Sanbao rode up to Chen Ying's carriage, jokingly said, "Is there a friend of General Chen in the city?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuning smiled, with a hint of unnoticeable worry in his eyes.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "What a good friend, I was wondering why Xue Renguo suddenly withdrew his troops. I haven't figured out this problem until now!"

Ma Sanbao said: "What's unpredictable about this, maybe Xue Renguo's wife ran away with him, and he was in a hurry to go back..."

Chen Ying suddenly sat up and shouted: "I understand, there must be something serious in Xiqin, which makes the prince of Xiqin have to return to the puppet capital to sit in battle!"

"whats the matter?"

Chen Yingdao: "Unless Xue Ju, the lord of Western Qin State, is ill or dead, and Xue Renguo wants to go back to take the throne..."

"God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Li Xiuning said, "It must be that Xue Ju is seriously ill. Xue Renguo is worried that his younger brother Xue Renyue will take the opportunity to seize the throne, and he can't wait to return to Jincheng (now Lanzhou!) The time is ripe to defeat Xiqin. Hurry up and come back." Chang'an!"

Li Xiuning pumped his horse's hips and galloped forward like a gust of wind, Ma Sanbao and other cavalry followed closely behind, and more than two hundred infantrymen and Chen Ying were disgraced by the dust and smoke.

Chen Ying shouted, "Wait for me!"

Chapter 18 Prince's Solicitation

In the sleeping hall of King Qin's mansion in the Great Wall, King Qin Li Shimin was lying on a soft couch with his eyes slightly closed.An imperial doctor over half a century old with gray beard and hair was carefully feeling Li Shimin's pulse.

The imperial physician sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded, and sometimes frowned.

Princess Qin's eldest grandson Wugou who was beside her asked nervously: "Physician Chen, King Qin...how is his illness...how is it?"

The imperial doctor's face showed a look of surprise, and he muttered happily: "His Royal Highness, the pulse is steady and powerful, and there is no serious problem!"

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and shouted sharply, "Nonsense!"

Although the eldest grandson Wugou didn't know much about medicine, he was very angry when he listened to Li Shimin's words, and he didn't look like he was sick at all.

Li Shimin also felt that he had lost his composure, and put his hands on his head pretendingly: "Why is the lonely king feeling sore and limp in his hands and feet, and his limbs are weak, and he has no appetite for many days... Insomnia and dreams."

The imperial doctor looked at Li Shimin, who was red and dissatisfied, from the corner of his eyes. He didn't believe that Li Shimin had no appetite at all, not to mention that Li Shimin dropped a sheep bone a few times in front of his bed.The imperial physician tremblingly said: "This..."

Although Changsun Wugou didn't know why Li Shimin pretended to be sick, she knew that like Li Shimin would only make things worse.The eldest grandson Hougou got up and picked up a longevity lock made of pure gold from the dressing box in front of the bed, and handed it to Imperial Physician Qin.

"I heard that in a few days it will be your grandson Baisui (that is, Baitian). I really can't get away from it. A small gift is not a respect!"

"What's so funny about that?"

Although Imperial Physician Qin said he was embarrassed, the hand that took over the longevity lock was not at all embarrassed.

Seeing Imperial Physician Qin accept the golden lock, Changsun Wugou said, "Does Imperial Physician Qin know what to say?"

"I know... I know!" Qin Taiyi said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has invaded by evil winds, and it is difficult to go down to the ground. He needs to rest for a while..."

After Qin Imperial Doctor left, Changsun Wugou pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "Second brother, why are you pretending to be sick to scare this slave? Do you know how I got here these days? I can't eat and sleep. Can't feel it."

"Avalokitesvara, it's worrying!" Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "I can't do anything about it. Qianshuiyuan's defeat has to be someone who has to stand up and take this responsibility."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Didn't the father reprimand Liu Wenjing? I heard that he will give up his position! This responsibility will never fall on your head!"

"The maidservant Guanyin doesn't know something!" Li Shimin said: "Although there are many criticisms in the imperial court about the defeat of Qianshuiyuan, these are not the most critical issue. Xue Ju."

The eldest grandson Wugou is so smart, after a little thought, he understood the reason why Li Shimin pretended to be sick. Li Shimin was shadowed by Xue Ju, and he didn't dare to take command to fight against Western Qin again.

At this moment, Lei Yongji's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I have something important to report in secret!"

Li Shimin said: "Come in!"

The eldest grandson Wugou was about to leave with his maid, Li Shimin said: "They are all from my own family, so you can listen!"
