Fortunately, Chen Ying is very familiar with the design and construction of the four-wheeled carriage. Even with his eyes closed, Chen Ying knows that the four-wheeled carriage has more than 320 parts. Turning to the seven parts of the operating system, wheels, axles, carriages, interior decoration, assembly, and painting, it forms an assembly line operation. Of course, Chen Ying did not refine each part, but based on his idea, let the carriage workshop The craftsmen make corrections according to the actual situation.

At the same time, Ma Zhou also followed Chen Ying's idea to fix the assembly line for the burning of the money bank.

The knowledge Ma Zhou learned was very complicated. Seeing Chen Ying sorting out the assembly line operation process of the four-wheeled carriage in just two hours, he said very strangely: "The master is also proficient in the examination work record?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Of course it's not enough to be proficient. I've read a little bit to understand a little bit. In fact, we don't need to do everything by ourselves. We need to train our subordinates well, know how to use them well, and adopt fair and just incentives. And reward and punishment measures, that's it!"

Ma Zhou bowed slightly and said, "My lord is wise!"

Chen Yingdao: "Learning from the past to know the future, learning from the past is not the goal, knowing the future is the key. Why can master Ge Tong develop better spring steel in just a few months? Not only because he is smart, but more importantly The most important thing is that he sorted out the materials accumulated in the past decades or even hundreds of years, and found the rules. We are now establishing a bank, which is an unprecedented achievement. There are no old examples to follow, so we can only look forward and take a step forward. Look at three steps, explore ten steps, maybe you will usher in a major breakthrough. King Ma Bin, you have to do well, and you will be the treasurer of Datang in the future?"

"Minister of Finance?" Ma Zhou rolled his eyes, a little moved, but his confidence was still lacking.Ma Zhou is very smart, knowledgeable, quick to analyze things, loyal and upright.It's just that he has no confidence in himself now.In particular, although the Qianzhuang has the name of the Qianzhuang, Chen Yingrang, the Qianzhuang, will eventually assume the responsibility of the central bank. Ma Zhou really doesn't know what effect the Qianzhuang will have on Datang, and he is also at a loss.

Chen Ying patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder and said: "The Great Tang established the country with force and governed with pragmatism. Don't worry, take your time. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's always good to think about it."

"Okay," Ma Zhou reluctantly agreed.

When Chen Ying left the treasury and was about to return to the Chen Mansion for a rest, he suddenly heard three loud "bang bang bang" drums coming from the direction of the Taiji Palace in the imperial city, which seemed to shake the entire palace.Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of high-pitched and thick golden horns that soared into the sky, shaking the sky and making a loud noise.

There is a bell and drum tower in front of the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, one is used to tell the time in the palace, and the other is used to announce the appointment of all officials to the court or when a major event occurs, to temporarily call all the provinces and ministries in the imperial city to return to Taiji Dianmianjun.Now it was approaching 45:[-] pm (equivalent to [-]:[-] pm in later generations) but the Drum Tower unexpectedly sounded, and Chen Ying couldn't help being a little curious.

The drums of the imperial palace summoning all the ministers here are like the generals' drums in the army.Three drums responded that officials above the fifth rank in Chang'an must arrive at the palace within half an hour, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, a group of civil and military ministers in scarlet robes walked towards the palace in groups.Seeing that they were chatting happily with each other, they didn't look nervous, as if they were not worried about any unexpected accidents in the court.

Chen Ying didn't have much contact with the courtiers, so he didn't know most of the courtiers at all, and suddenly he found a familiar face in the crowd.General Youtunwei, Duke Dou Cong of Fufeng County.Chen Ying cupped his hands and said, "Grand Dou, what happened in this palace?"

Dou Cong looked at Chen Ying, and immediately said with joy, "Mr. Chen, you are too slow to hear the news, aren't you?"

Chen Ying was stunned.

Dou Cong said: "The beating of the drums and horns in the Bell and Drum Tower is to celebrate the [-]th birthday of His Majesty's seventh son, King Lu."

"Oh!" Chen Ying felt a little wry when he heard this.Li Yuan is also really capable. His seventh son, King Lu, is not a good guy. After he became an adult, he bullied men and women in Chang'an, committed all kinds of crimes, and finally played himself into it. He dared to trick Li Chengqian into a mutiny and have a hundred-day banquet Li Yuanchang celebrated his birthday with great fanfare, but he also rang the bells and drums, which made the people in Chang'an panic.

Chen Ying couldn't help thinking of a sentence in his head. In ancient times, King Zhou You played with the beacon fire to play with the princes, and today Li Tang Gaozu plays with drums and horns with hundreds of officials.

"So that's the case, I'm so ignorant, ashamed, ashamed!" Chen Ying laughed.

Dou Cong waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chen is a busy man, so it's understandable."

Chen Ying shook his head, and said modestly, "It's just busywork."

Dou Cong opened his mouth, sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, Cong has a feeling of unsympathy..."

Chen Yingdao: "Mr. Dou has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

Dou Cong said: "That four-wheeled carriage..."

Chen Ying said with a smile: "If it was someone else, someone would definitely say no. Brother Dou asked for one, but even if he doesn't have one, I have to get one for Mr. Dou if I can think of a way."

Dou Cong smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is still a good friend!"

The two walked and talked, and unknowingly came to the square of Chengtianmen. At this time, the square was full of green-robed officials.In the bureaucratic system of Datang, Wupin is a huge watershed.Officials above the fifth rank can wear red official uniforms, and officials below the fifth rank can wear green and blue official robes.

Although Chen Ying is young, he has already been made a public servant and belongs to the rich and powerful.

These green-robed officials were not qualified to attend the banquet set up by Li Yuan in the Tai Chi Hall, so they could only stand on Chengtianmen Square to wish King Lu a hundred years away.

Dou Cong and Chen Ying had just entered the Tai Chi Hall, when Li Shimin, who was chatting and laughing with the ministers, apologized to the surrounding ministers and walked towards Chen Ying.

Li Shimin gave Chen Ying a bear hug when he came up, hugged him tightly, and patted Chen Ying's back vigorously with both hands.

Chen Yingdi couldn't help but laugh, he knew that this was the only way for Li Shimin to get along with the lieutenant general.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, General Chen's body seems to have recovered, but the lonely king is still worried that things will be delayed after the beginning of spring."

Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, and thought to himself: "The spring of next year will be Li Shimin's most glorious battle. He first overthrew Wang Shichong, then captured Dou Jiande alive, and finally was named Tiance General by Li Yuan."

It stands to reason that Li Shimin shouldn't let him, the general of the East Palace, intervene in this battle?

Chapter 91 Cut the Flesh to Return the Mother and Cut the Bones to Return the Father

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Yuan toasted frequently with all the ministers to celebrate the centenary feast of King Lu.Chen Ying was a little distracted. For a long time, Tian Khan Li Shimin had been under great pressure in Chen Ying's heart.Because he understood that while Li Jiancheng was using him, he was also guarding against him.From Li Jiancheng's promotion of Chen Ying as a guest of the third-rank East Palace Prince, it can be seen that Li Jiancheng still has some reservations about him.

In fact, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.Chen Ying didn't believe that Li Shimin was simply trying to win him over. There were many ways to win him over, especially not in the Tai Chi Hall. Just now, when Li Shimin hugged him kindly, King Qi Li Yuanji could see clearly behind him , if Li Jiancheng misunderstood, it would be bad.

The key is that Chen Ying has now become one of the banners and leaders of Hou Mo's Chen clan in the court. Once he breaks face with Li Shimin, the consequences can be imagined.The blow from Qin Wang Li Shimin's family will be a great disaster for the Hou Mochen family!

The banquets at the Tai Chi Hall are excellent both in terms of drinks and dishes.However, Chen Ying was like chewing wax, at this moment Dou Cong quietly poked Chen Ying.

Chen Ying looked back at Dou Cong strangely.

Dou Cong frowned and said: "The old man has a difficult matter, please help Chen Gong to go into details!"

"What's the matter?" Chen Ying was slightly surprised, he didn't have such a deep friendship with Dou, did he?Could it be that because of a carriage, let Dou Cong confide in his heart?Chen Ying secretly shook his head in his heart.

Dou Cong said: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty asked the old man if there are any outstanding young talents in the Dou clan who have not yet married, rising stars!"

"This matter is very strange!" Chen Ying thought for a while, he must be on guard against others, there is no guarantee that Dou Cong will report to Li Yuan what I said and what I did.It's not that Dou Cong wants to be a "traitor", but that he was originally sent by Li Yuan to be a spy?With Li Yuan's personality, he must monitor and investigate me from multiple angles.Living in this era where misfortunes come out of our mouths, we must be on guard against others.Chen Ying said with a puzzled expression: "Holy will is unpredictable, and I don't know. Besides, it's not the duty of a minister to wish for something."

"It makes sense!" Dou Cong suddenly said, "Although most of the courtiers still don't know about Chen Gong's desire to be married to Princess Pingyang, it is no secret in Chang'an noble circles. His Majesty is now calling the old man. To the children of the Dou family, or if you intend to choose a son-in-law from the Dou family, please inform the old man first, probably because you want to know the Dou family's attitude towards this marriage."

Hearing this, Chen Ying secretly felt that something was wrong.There are only six princesses in Li Yuan's longest life, four of them are Princess Gaomi, who married Duan Lun and has given birth to a daughter, Duan Jian.The fifth princess, Princess Changguang, married Zhao Jingci, but after Zhao Jingci's death, Princess Changguang is still a widow.

The other princesses seem to be underage.The sixth princess, Princess Yongjia, is only 14 years old, but there are too many people who get married at a young age like Li Tang.

Chen Ying was no longer calm at this time, he no longer considered what Li Jiancheng would think of him, but wondered whether Li Yuan intended Li Xiuning to remarry someone else.With Li Yuan's temperament, he can really do this kind of thing.The fourth princess first married the eldest grandson Xiaozheng, the son of the eldest grandson Jingde. After the death of the eldest grandson Xiaozheng, Princess Gaomi remarried Duan Lun, and the fifth princess remarried to Yang Gongren's younger brother Yang Shidao in the near future.And Dou Fengjie, the nephew of Princess Dou Wei of Yongjia, married Helan Sangha after Dou Fengjie died.Now, Li Xiuning has received Chai's eviction letter, and is a free single. Li Yuan is likely to remarry Li Xiuning to someone else.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying could hardly sit still.

"Chen Gong just entered the officialdom, and he didn't know the subtle interests of the court. The old man explained it to Chen Gong." Dou Cong was also patient, and said, "The three families of Pei, Xue and Liu are also called the 'Hedong Three Surnames'. Today, the Pei and Xue clans are the most prosperous. Above the court, the Pei and Xue clans both work together and secretly compete. Today's Pei Ji Shangshu Zuo Pushe can be called the great prime minister of the dynasty. With my own strength, I overwhelm Xue Liu."

Chen Ying was on fire in his heart, he couldn't listen at all, picked up the wine glass, and poured wine into his stomach from time to time, although it was said that the alcohol content of Tang Dynasty was not high, as the saying goes, as long as there is something in mind, it is easy to get drunk quickly.After drinking two Dou in a row, Chen Ying felt that the figures in front of him began to overlap. When he drank the third Dou, his eyes went dark, and he didn't know the rest.

……

In the warm pavilion of Ganlu Hall, Li Xiuning looked at the sandalwood incense in the hall, her eyes were full of autumn water, her beautiful face was fair and had a luster like porcelain, she was wearing a red and green embroidered gold silk shirt, and she stood by the house, like a lady in the picture. The stunning beauty who came out.

Li Yuan looked at the silent Li Xiuning, sighed for a long time and said: "Sanniang, father is also doing it for your own good. Dou Wei's nephew, Dou Fengjie, has a dignified appearance, family background and talents, all of them are outstanding..."

"If father is really good for Sanniang, then please see that for the sake of her daughter's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, please decree to marry Chen Ying!"

Li Yuan was even more angry when he heard the name Chen Ying: "He, do you know what he did?"

Li Xiuning was stunned.
