Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Jiancheng looked tangled, almost wailing: "But why wait later? Why can't we deal with it now?"
Wei Zheng said: "His Royal Highness, you are so confused!"
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in puzzlement and said, "Xuancheng, tell me, tell me.
Wei Zheng pointed at Li Jiancheng and began to scold him, "Corruption is no longer an isolated phenomenon. How many officials are not corrupt? If His Highness punishes these corrupt criminals now, he will force them to the Qin Palace. .Once His Royal Highness fights corruption with great fanfare, these officials will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and they will definitely try their best to pull the crown prince down from his position in the East Palace!"
"Pull it down, pull it down, I really don't want to be such an aggrieved prince?" Li Jiancheng said: "I and the prisoner, I swear to be incompatible, we will not live together!"
Wei Zheng continued to talk eloquently: "Do you think you can decide whether you want to be emperor or not? It doesn't matter at all what you think. The important thing is——Your Majesty wants you to be emperor, Mr. Xiao Chen, and you want to be emperor." You are the emperor, the generals of the Eastern Palace want you to be the emperor, Princess Pingyang, and General Chen also want you to be the emperor."
Li Jiancheng's face darkened slightly, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists unconsciously.
Wei Zhengdao: "King Qin doesn't want you to be emperor, but he thinks that he wants to be emperor; all the officials in the palace of King Qin think that King Qin is better than you at being emperor. Now, it doesn't really matter whether you want to be emperor or not. What's more, no matter how you choose, there will only be two completely different results."
Li Jiancheng asked eagerly, "What result?"
Wei Zheng stretched out a finger and raised it up: "One is that you become the emperor, and I, Wei Zheng, assist Mingjun, and we, the monarch and the ministers, work together to create a peaceful and prosperous world. One is..."
Wei Zheng paused, and stretched out another finger. In the next second, a smile appeared, and he said coldly and mercilessly: "You are dead, I am dead, His Royal Highness King Jing will die, the Crown Princess will die, Mr. Chen The general will die too, Princess Pingyang will die too, everyone will die..."
Li Jiancheng was startled, stood up suddenly, and stared at Wei Zheng in front of him.
Wei Zheng said indifferently: "His Royal Highness, think about it, if it weren't for Du Fuwei's sudden attack, would you still be alive now? Now it is different from the past. In the past, the battle between our East Palace and Qin Palace was just a very ordinary political struggle. , now it's life and death, it's hard to coexist!"
Li Jiancheng fell into silence.
At this moment, Li Yuanji said excitedly: "Brother, I found out!"
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji and said, "What did you find out?"
"Who was that Guo Shaogang ordered!" Li Yuanji said with a cold smile: "Brother, you definitely can't think of who Guo Shaogang belongs to, right?"
With Li Jiancheng's identity and status, how could he know Guo Shaogang, a lowly official like Guo Shaogang.
Li Yuanji said: "Guo Shaogang is Du Fengju's father-in-law, and this Du Fengju is Du Ruhui's cousin in the Prince of Qin's residence, a romantic bastard that Du Yan left outside when he was young."
Wei Zheng asked anxiously, "Where is Du Fengju? Is he dead?"
Li Yuanji said: "How could I let him die, he is living well now, elder brother, let's take Du Fengju into the palace now, and let father give elder brother justice!"
Wei Zheng asked, "Du Fengju is too courageous, isn't it?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "This bastard has returned to the ancestor of the Du family, so someone made it a condition to join the Du family...he just..."
Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not convincing enough. A Du Fengju is too light. We must dig out the people behind him!"
……
The journey back to Beijing was boring. In order to relieve the boredom of Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen and other women, Chen Ying asked people to create mahjong for later generations, and handed over the rules of the game to Li Xiuning and others.
Thanks to Chen Ying's many women, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Chen Ying, and He Yue'er made a table, and Xu Erniang, Shen Tian Hanyin, Hongxiu, and Lvzhu made another table.
Chen Ying and the others were playing mahjong while driving in a carriage, which relieved the boring journey.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"fifty thousand!"
"bump!"
"Three cable!"
"bump!"
"Don't touch it, I'm going crazy!" Li Xiuning grabbed Sansuo from Li Daozhen's hand, and said triumphantly: "Give me money, give me money!"
When Chen Ying first started, he could still rely on his own experience, but Chen Ying ignored the speed at which Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, and He Yueer learned mahjong. After five rounds, the girls basically got familiar with the rules. After playing for a day, Chen Ying's wins and losses are basically mixed. After one day, he has already started to lose more and win less.
Seeing the last ten-peat banknote in front of him being held by Li Xiuning, Chen Ying said decadently: "I've lost everything, I won't trade it, I won't trade it..."
Li Xiuning shook her head and said: "No, let's play for a while, I'll lend you money if you don't have money, and your own people don't count as your interest!"
Chen Yingzheng was about to give up his life to accompany the gentleman, but at this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes.Chen Ying listened attentively to the rapid sound of horse hooves, and then there was the sound of messy footsteps.
This is a temporarily requisitioned farmyard. The layout of the house is very simple. In the middle of the main room is a wooden pillar that has been blackened by smoke. The stone foundation is potholed. A table, four elm wooden stools, and a stove in the corner, just as the fire pit was burning, making the inside of the room much warmer than the outside.
The entrance of the outer courtyard is only a dozen steps away from the main hall, even if there is a cough at the entrance, it can be heard in the room.Hearing the messy footsteps, Li Xiuning knew something must be wrong, so she pointed at Ma Sanbao and said, "Sanbao, come here and play a few laps!"
Chen Ying got up and put on a big cloak and came outside the house. In the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Wude, the weather in Guannei Road was already extremely cold. Chen Ying and the others were in the carriage, with a heater and a kang, so naturally they didn't feel cold. Now they are in charge of driving outside. The wheels, or the accompanying soldiers, are in great pain.
Although Chen Ying was wearing cotton-padded clothes, trousers, and a cloak, he still clearly felt cold.Not long after, Guo Luo appeared in Chen Ying's line of sight. Although Guo Luo was wearing a locomotive hat and thick sheepskin gloves, his eyebrows and beard were covered with hoarfrost.
Seeing Guo Luo frozen like this, Chen Ying pointed to the wing room and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's talk after entering the room!"
Chen Ying asked Guo Luo and his guards to each have a cup of hot broth, and everyone gathered around the stove to warm up the fire. After a while, Guo Luo handed a letter to Chen Ying, saying: "My lord, I just passed the letter from Chang'an. Come message!"
Chen Ying opened the letter, but hadn't had time to read it yet.
Guo Luo smiled wryly and said, "I haven't heard from Chang'an for three days. I felt something was wrong, so I took people to investigate ahead. Sure enough, something happened!"
Originally according to the plan, Chen Ying was supposed to enter Yuanzhou and enter Guanzhong from Xiaoguan, but the sudden cold snap disrupted Chen Ying's plan.The frenzied cold current is still the master of the sky, and human beings still appear insignificant under the majesty and majesty of nature.
The thick locomotive hat, thick sheepskin gloves, and sheepskin sleeping bags could no longer resist the severe cold, and the snow was nearly three feet deep, reaching the belly of the horse. It became very difficult for the horses to walk in the snow, and the sky became dark It was foggy, and the air was full of semi-condensed water mist. These water mist were not evaporated by the sun, but condensed from the air due to the low temperature, floating lightly in mid-air to harm people.
Even though General Anxi stayed in the Western Regions for three years, he felt that the winter in Guanzhong was actually colder than that in the Western Regions. It was the same with no tents. When the stove was lit, the breath in the tents still turned into ice, and the flames jumped two feet high. Not much warmth.
The biggest problem now is that Chen Ying’s supply has given a problem. Originally, from Shule to Chang’an, Chen Ying was walking all the way, and there was a tiger in front of him who was in charge of arranging supplies nearby, so that Chen Ying could arrive from Shule with enough food and fuel. Changan, this is not a realistic thing at all.
However, this sudden cold snap not only accelerated the consumption of coal and charcoal under Chen Ying's command, but most importantly, due to the reduced speed, Chen Ying only traveled half of the planned distance at the same time and with the same supplies. In the middle of the 160 miles, there is an insurmountable barrier for Chen Ying's troops.
Guo Luo went on to say: "In Pingliang, our Tigers were attacked by unknown enemies from a secret supply point, and the six Tigers who stayed in Pingliang died of charcoal poisoning. However, I checked the scene and there was no sign of a fight. ..."
Chen Ying looked at the contents of the secret letter and said, "Could it be because of this letter?"
The content of the letter said that Li Jiancheng was almost killed by Guo Shaogang in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but after many days, Li Jiancheng also turned the corner. This news has actually lost its effectiveness.
"It shouldn't be like that." Guo Luo said, "Otherwise, this letter wouldn't appear here!"
Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "I haven't come to Chang'an yet, someone has already targeted me, this is just a warning to the general guard, our people can be said to be the people who know charcoal best in this world, how could it be possible to fall into charcoal?" Poison? Since Lingzhou began to use coal, there has never been a person under the command of the Metropolitan Guard who died of charcoal poisoning, but this mistake happened at this time, do you believe there will be such a coincidence?"
Guo Luo shook his head and said, "I also feel a little strange!"
"By the way, how many fierce tigers have been left behind in Pingliang, there should be more than six people who died in accidents!" Chen Ying was a little curious. Passing through the important town, it is known as "the first city of Chang'an in the west" in history.Since ancient times, Pingliang has been an important town to shield the Sanqin and control the Wuyuan. The upper reaches of the river are the "Golden Triangle" of the intersection geometric center of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, across Longshan (Guanshan), adjacent to Xianyang, Shaanxi to the east, Dingxi and Baiyin, Gansu to the west, Baoji, Shaanxi and Tianshui, Gansu to the south, and Guyuan, Ningxia, and Qingyang, Gansu to the north adjoining.
In such a strategic location, if Menghu Yicong only arranged six people, Chen Ying would suspect that Menghuyi had never been too negligent.
