Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

At this moment, Wei Zheng took out another secret letter.

Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously: "What is this?"

Wei Zheng laughed strangely, and said, "His Royal Highness, you will know it after seeing it."

Li Jiancheng took out the letterhead to read, and when he saw the end, he was shocked and said: "How is this possible!"

Wei Zheng said: "This is a secret letter that Wei Zheng inadvertently intercepted in the investigation of the false imperial edict. It is actually a secret letter written by General Chen to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The content of the secret letter was shocking. It was actually written by Chen Ying to Li Jiancheng, asking Li Jiancheng to go to the Great Treasure as soon as possible. If Li Jiancheng agreed, he would immediately send troops to capture Chang'an and ask Li Jiancheng to return to Chang'an to preside over the overall situation!

Li Jiancheng frowned, and said with an unusually certain attitude: "This letter is fake!"

Wei Zheng nodded noncommittally and said: "Yes, it must be a fake, but since this letter has come to Hebei, there is no guarantee that Chang'an will not appear, I am afraid that at this time, the secret letter has already reached His Majesty's hands!"

……

In Chang'an City, Li Yuan in Wude Hall of Taiji Palace had sleepy eyes, and said with a displeased face: "What can't we talk about tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty dare not!" Pei Ji said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, and we must let His Majesty know as soon as possible."

As Yu Yanzhang handed the secret letter to Li Yuan, Li Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and tried his best to watch it under the candlelight.

However, just after taking a look, Li Yuan suddenly woke up, lost all sleepiness, and screamed: "This is Chen Ying, writing to Li Jiancheng?"

"It's true, Jingzhao Mansion Office has arrested a habitual thief. According to the habitual thief, he stole the messenger's package in the Youfufeng post station, and found this secret letter by accident!"

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Based on this letter alone, it's hard to conclude that Chen Ying really wants to rebel."

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to weaken the Eastern Palace?"

Li Yuan said displeasedly: "Pei San, what do you mean?"

Pei Ji said calmly: "If Your Majesty wants to dismantle the Eastern Palace, I have a plan to offer to Your Majesty. If it's Your Majesty, I don't care if the Anxi Army sits in a big separatist regime, and I will resign."

Li Yuan waved his hands and said, "Let's talk about your strategy first."

"It is feasible to separate Chen Ying and the crown prince, so that there will be a rift between the two!" Pei Ji said: "Now that the East Palace is powerful, Chen Ying alone is the mainstay of the East Palace. If there is a rift between the crown prince and Chen Concubine, the power of the East Palace will definitely disintegrate. Your Majesty will abolish it." It is no longer difficult to go to the stage. If the Anxi army loses the care of the East Palace, it will definitely lose the support of the court. Once Chen Ying is dissatisfied and even raises the flag to rebel, he will no longer be a hero of the Tang Dynasty, but a sinner."

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Chen Ying, why should we push each other so hard?"

Pei Ji stared into Li Yuan's eyes and said: "If your Majesty wants to sit on the imperial couch in the Tai Chi Hall, and if you want the Tang Dynasty to last for thousands of years, you must not have the slightest bit of benevolence for women. Time makes heroes, and the trend of the times , no matter what means, His Majesty can use..."

Li Yuan was startled, his face turned serious.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Huyang County was originally an empty earthen wall, not even the Zhaojiabao of the Zhao family in Shuozhou.However, in the past half a year, this place has completely changed.

In order to protect their own people, more than [-] men from the Zhao family in Shuozhou and the slaves they bought worked overtime and worked day and night, and finally completed the construction of Huyang City before the heavy snow arrived.At this time, Huyang County had a rammed-earth city wall with a width of one foot and six feet, tall and majestic watchtowers, a horse-faced wall, and a female wall. Looking at the Western Regions, if Chen Ying hadn't come here, only Gaochang City could compete with the present Populus euphratica is shoulder to shoulder.

The family business is inherited from generation to generation, and then generations will add bricks and tiles to become a big family. Zhao Boying firmly believes in this.

The ancestor of the Zhao family in Shuozhou was just an ordinary soldier in Shuozhou City in the Han Dynasty. After retiring from the army due to injury, Shuozhou settled down. Shuozhou is famous for being powerful.Now, Huyang City has become the city of the Zhao family. From Huyangcheng's county magistrate, master Bo, county magistrate, six house officials, three classes of yamen servants, jailers, Wuzuo, Genzuo, and doormen, all came from the Zhao family.

Zhao Boying regards Huyang County, which is about 800 miles from north to south and [-] miles from east to west, as a foundation to manage.In order to attract the population, Zhao Boying led his clansmen to build a large number of vacant houses, and built more than [-] large and small houses in Huyang County, Ruoda. Absorb business travelers from the past, or savages from the Western Regions.

Touching his big shiny brass seal, Zhao Boying was very satisfied.

However, there was a faint rumor that the imperial court seemed to be dissatisfied with Chen Ying, the guardian of the capital. At this time, Zhao Boying couldn't sit still.He hastily called his son to him and asked, "Haoxin, how much money does our family have now?"

A large-scale copper mine was discovered in Huyang County. In this era, copper mines are money. This is why Zhao Boying was stronger than other Shuozhou tycoons, and completed the construction of Huyang City and more than 7000 courtyards in one go. Because he rich.

Zhao Haoxin acted as the magistrate, and said with a helpless smile: "Father, our expenses this year are really too high, we only have more than 500 pennies left!"

More than 500 guan does not sound like a lot, but in fact it is a lot of money.According to the calculation that five baht coins usually cost about seven catties, more than 500 coins are equivalent to more than 1 catties.

Zhao Boying thought for a while and said, "Take all the money and follow me to Shule!"

Although Zhao Haoxin didn't understand what Zhao Boying meant, he still acted according to Zhao Boying's idea. More than 1 catties of copper coins were enough to fill three four-wheeled carriages, and each carriage weighed more than 4000 catties.

Two horse-drawn horses and a cart, with a load of nearly forty stone, and the ruts rolling over the road, rattling, must be regarded as a heavy-duty carriage in this world.This kind of car can only be used on hard-surfaced roads in the city, and it costs a little more horsepower to drive on hard-dirt roads; when it rains, the roads become muddy, making them even more prone to lying down.

Fortunately, Chen Ying attacked all the way west and built a lot of asphalt roads at the same time, so he didn't have to worry about road problems.Zhao Boying summoned 300 armored people. Zhao Boying, the magistrate of Populus euphratica, has the power to govern [-] horse archers in Populus euphratica county.Of course, this is in fact only the nature of the militia.

However, in the Western Regions, in order to protect the safety of the Tang people, Chen Ying lifted the restriction that the people in the pass could not have strong crossbows and iron armor. Therefore, Zhao Boying brought three hundred soldiers, together with his own supplies, a total of more than a dozen carts. Go to Shule city in a mighty way.

At this moment, Zhao Haoxin thought it over.Zhao Boying is sending money to Chen Ying, which can also be said to be a loss of sincerity.

Zhao Haoxin couldn't figure it out, the court had already grown jealous of Chen Ying, at this moment, the Zhao family of Shuozhou should draw a line with Chen Ying instead of joining them.

In the bumpy carriage, Zhao Boying felt a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and lay down on the soft couch in the carriage to rest.Zhao Haoxin opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help asking: "Father, the child doesn't understand!"

"what you do not understand?"

"I don't understand why you did this!" Zhao Haoxin suddenly said without anger: "Father, Chief Protector Chen is about to lose power. If we rely on the ground to get there now, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"

"Hey..." Zhao Boying couldn't help being disappointed when he heard this.He sighed and said, "Haoxin, you are the one who will accept the patriarch of the Zhao clan in Shuozhou after you have been a father for a hundred years. Your eyelids are so shallow. How dare you hand over the Zhao clan to you as a father?" ?”

Zhao Haoxin said unconvinced: "Father, what you said is too fair, the child can be regarded as well-educated, although he dare not admit that he is talented, but it will not let the Zhao family decline!"

Zhao Boying said: "Then let me ask you, have you read the Historical Records? What did Fan Zeng say about Xiang Yu during the Hongmen banquet!"

Zhao Haoxin's face turned pale, of course he had read the Historical Records, and he naturally knew what Fan Zeng said about Xiang Yu.

Zhao Boying looked at the disaffected Zhao Hao and said, "Even if Chen Dadu is not the governor of the Western Regions, he is still the Da Situ of the dynasty. It's still Yang Xiang. When they met Chen Daduhu, they still had to give official ceremonies. Even if His Majesty cut Daduhu's Duke of Liang's title and dismissed all his official positions, Daduhu wouldn't be Daduhu? He could just let others trample on him. People? Others can be childish and naive, but you can't!"

Zhao Haoxin's face was livid with anger, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Boying sat up with a sneer and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. At this time, Xu Caifu from the Xu family, Dong An from the Dong family, and Ren Bi from the Ren family should all come too!"

Sure enough, at this moment, the guards reported: "Feng Kelan from the Feng family asks to go with you!"

Zhao Haoxin was puzzled.Show doubts.

Zhao Boying sighed, his son is always good for himself, no matter how bad he is, he is better than other people's sons.Zhao Boying said: "Do you really think that even if we don't rely on the past, others will not think that we are the people of Chen Dadu? In fact, as early as in Shuozhou, when our father took refuge in Chen Dadu, we Shuo The Zhao family of Zhouzhou has been branded with Chen Dadu's mark, no matter what, we can't wash it off!"

Zhao Haoxin said depressedly: "Our Zhao family has just made progress, but at this time, if... that would be a failure!"

"Hmph..." Zhao Boying said: "If it's really that good, our Zhao family might be able to beat the dragon!"

Zhao Boying is right, in fact, Chen Ying has no way to turn back now, unless he is as naive as Yue Fei.In fact, at this time, fighting is death, not fighting is also death.It is definitely not Chen Ying's character to sit back and wait for death.

……

Outside Chang'an City, a group of Yuan Cong disguised themselves as civilians from the forbidden army, and slowly approached Qinglinli.Sitting on the second floor of a restaurant in Qinglin, Du Yan looked at the soldiers of Yuan Cong's imperial army, who didn't look like the common people at all, with a smile on his face.
