In the fifth year of Daye, Marquis Mo Chenrui of Shangzhu Kingdom angered Yang Guang and was exiled to Lingnan.Hou Mochenrui entrusted his servant Liao Ping to raise his youngest son. However, Liao Ping's son Liao Yaoting had a dispute with his father and beat his father Liao Ping to death. slave.

In the first year of Wude, Su Hu served as the magistrate of Wannian County. Hou Mochen Ying injured Su Hu for some reason and escaped from Su's residence.By mistake, he was pulled into the army.

Li Shimin was defeated in Qianshui Plateau. Zong Luohu of the Western Qin Dynasty stormed Jingyang City. Chen Ying came to the fore in the first battle, killing Zong Luohu wisely and entering Li Jiancheng's vision.

Afterwards, he cooperated with Li Xiuning and Xue Wanche to defend Jingyang City, and Jin granted the right guard of the East Palace to lead the Xun Erfu Zhechong Duwei and General Ningyuan.With the strength of a Zhechong Mansion, more than [-] rebels in the neighboring enterprises were put down, and they were promoted to the right guard rate and Zhongwu General because of their meritorious service.

In the second year of Wude's rescue of Lingzhou, the Turks won all four battles and was promoted to the general manager of Lingzhou.

In the third year of Wude, the rebellion of Liu Wuzhou in Hedong was put down.

Wu De played against Wang Shichong for four years, and then put down Dou Jiande in Hebei.

……

Thinking about how Chen Ying was promoted from a small soldier to the second rank of the Great Protector of the Western Regions in just five years. This speed of promotion alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Du Yan walked in, and while saluting to everyone, he continued: "Chen Ying is the helping hand that the crown prince brought in from the army."

Li Shimin raised his hand, motioning for Du Yan to sit down.

Du Yan sat on the side and said with a smile: "King Qin and Du Fuwei are married to Jinlan. Although Du Fuwei is not dead, it is not far away. Chen Ying enters the capital, and one goes up and down. This is the prince... who is about to fully intervene. Proof of military affairs."

Changsun Wuji said with a lot of worries: "Now that the crown prince is proud of his success, the king of Qin can only contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. A large number of courtiers and aristocratic families have fallen to the East Palace. If the crown prince takes over the military affairs, we will surely die without a place to die. "

Everyone nodded in unison, but Du Yan and Li Shimin didn't respond.

Li Shimin said indifferently: "I'm not afraid!"

Du Yan said with a faint smile: "Since His Royal Highness wants to manage the army, let him manage as he wishes."

Everyone was stunned.

Du Yan explained: "At this time, no matter whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, it is better not to do it. It is good not to do it, but it will make mistakes if you do it. Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui suddenly realized.

Chen Ying is now serving as Minister of the Ministry of War. This Minister of the Ministry of War is no better than in the army. If there is a disagreement, Chen Ying can use the military law. The Seventeenth Ban prohibits 54 executions.

However, the Ministry of War is different.

This is the key yamen of the Tang court, and the real power is held by low-level officials. Most of these officials are slick and slick, and they may not have the ability to make things happen. Chen Ying will definitely be helpless if he wants to do something bad. .

Changsun Wuji asked coldly: "Du Juncao is so confident, Chen Ying can't control the Ministry of War?"

Du Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "The reason why Chen Ying was promoted from a soldier to Minister of the Ministry of War in such a short period of time is that he is really good at fighting. He is the captain of the son-in-law and Princess Shang Pingyang. Now that Princess Pingyang is suffering from qi disease, which is an incurable disease, Chen Ying absolutely has no energy to take care of the trivial matters of the Ministry of War!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately elated.

Only Li Shimin's face changed drastically when he heard the words.

Du Yan looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "To bring down the crown prince, in the final analysis, it is still up to the king himself. Others can only be willing to be eagles and dogs. Please remember it."

Li Shimin murmured: "What should we do next?"

Du Ruhui pondered and said: "The foundation of the king is not in Chang'an, but in Taiyuan, the east of the river. Therefore, the king in Chang'an will be constrained everywhere. For the current plan, we must either transfer the power from the east of the river to Guanzhong to strengthen the strength of the west mansion; or We can only invite ourselves out of the town of Taiyuan, we can't afford to offend, we can afford to hide."

Fang Xuanling said worriedly: "I'm afraid that neither the emperor nor the crown prince will agree."

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said: "In Chang'an City, the only ones we can rely on are the personal guards in Tiance Mansion. They are full of troops, but there are only two thousand soldiers. There are 5000 soldiers outside the East Palace and Qi Wang Mansion. That's not enough. Count, the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Chang'an City. Our strength in Chang'an City is too weak, and the Qin Palace is like a piece of paper."

Li Shimin pondered: "Then transfer a group of people from Hedong to Chang'an, Laohou—"

Hou Junji shuddered all over, and said in a deep voice, "How many troops should we transfer?"

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "If it's too little, it's useless, if it's too much, it's easy to be discovered."

Hou Junji said: "The most important thing is that no one in Chang'an City will agree to the increase of troops and generals in the Qin Palace."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said: "First transfer a thousand soldiers. What the king wants are elites. Let Zhang Liang take care of the elites with one against ten. Laohou, you are responsible for the arrangements."

Hou Junji stared at Li Shimin in a daze, and gave a respectful glance.

Li Shimin continued without realizing it: "The transferred people should not be concentrated in the Prince Qin's mansion, but dispersed."

……

In Fanglin Garden of Furong Garden, Chen Ying followed Sun Simiao and Li Xiuning to practice the Taoist health-preserving ten-duan brocade. Sun Simiao generally taught Li Xiuning the exercises, while saying: "If you want to cure Her Royal Highness's qi disease, you must practice both internally and externally. Apply it with medicine, and use exercises to regulate the inner breath, only in this way can there be a glimmer of life!"

Chen Ying bowed and said, "Thank you, Daoist!"

Sun Simiao said with a faint smile: "It should be, it should be!"

Sun Simiao is a person of high moral character. Originally, he had no intention of being an official, or even an official, but now he is willing to commit himself to being the doctor (both the director) of Datang Boren Hospital. The main reason is that he couldn't stand the temptation of Chen Ying.

Sun Simiao has written books all his life, including "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" which has been completed, and "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" which he is currently writing. He really wants to spread his lifelong knowledge and spread it to benefit the working people.However, in this era, writing a book is easy, but promoting it is very difficult.Taking copying books as an example, "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" has 93 volumes, more than 65 prescriptions, and a total of more than [-] words in the book.

At that time, it was already considered a masterpiece, and Sun Simiao was still typing it in, and it was estimated that it might exceed one million words. Since then, it was too difficult to spread this book.Taking book copying as an example, a scholar can copy tens of thousands of words a day, hire 100 people to copy, and can copy up to two volumes a day.

This is not only labor-intensive, but also more labor-intensive and error-prone.

However, if engraving and printing are used, the cost will be more expensive than copying books.Sun Simiao wants to promote his book, even if he earns money from practicing medicine, he can't afford it at all, not to mention that Sun Simiao doesn't have much money, he likes to treat diseases for the poor for free, and he prefers to give medicines.

Not to mention publishing a book, even if he copied a book, he couldn't afford to hire someone.

Chen Ying promised him that he would contribute money to publish thousands of books for Sun Simiao.

This was a temptation that Sun Simiao could not refuse!

Because gas diseases are easy to spread in the air, Chen Ying, in order to avoid the infection of germs, his son Chen Qian also put on a mask.Including He Yueer, everyone who comes into contact with Li Xiuning must wear a mask, even Sun Simiao is no exception.

Just as Chen Ying and Li Xiuning finished the exercise and were about to eat, a report from Si Yan came from Furong Garden: "An angel delivered a decree!"

Not long after, the Chinese envoy came to announce the decree.

Chen Ying accepted the imperial decree from the envoy in a daze, but Chen Ying was even more confused: "When did Li Yuan change his nature? He actually let himself be Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

However, Chen Ying was naturally not stupid, and it was obvious that this was also an ups and downs.

A Minister of the Ministry of War seems to have a high position and authority, but the key is that the military system of the Tang Dynasty is different from that of later generations. Local generals have great power.

If Li Xiuning didn't have this disease, Chen Ying should have become one, and he could build his own power in the Ministry of War while he was still there.

It's just that Chen Ying is not in the mood now, playing house games with them.

After much deliberation, Chen Ying decided to resign and live a good life with Li Xiuning.
