Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Shimin sat behind the table with a listless expression, looking at the generals of Tiance Mansion.He sighed and said: "Thank you for your concern, we have finally passed this hurdle!"

Changsun Wuji handed Li Shimin a cup of hot tea.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Du Yan and others walked in quickly from outside.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and smiled.

But Hou Junji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when shall we leave for Luoyang?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "What are you doing in Luoyang?"

Hou Junji looked suspiciously at Li Shimin, then at Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and said coldly, "I won't go anywhere until the battle is over."

At this moment, Du Yan beckoned, and a follower brought a box from outside.

Du Yan looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is what you need most now!"

"This is..." Li Shimin hesitated.

Du Yan took the big box, opened it with a key, gently lifted the lid, and took out a roll of thick silk cloth from it.With a faint smile on Du Yan's face, he slowly opened the silk cloth, on which a map of Miyagi was drawn.

Li Shimin read slowly one by one.

Changsun Wuji just glanced at it, his face was full of surprise, his eyes widened curiously and he asked, "What is this?"

While talking, pull the map and look at it.

Du Yan smiled and said, "Map of Taiji Palace in Daxing City!"

Fang Xuanling's and Du Ruhui's gazes met in the air, and they exclaimed in unison: "The map of Taiji Palace?"

Du Yan nodded and said: "Exactly, it took a lot of effort. I never believed that Yu Wenkai would not leave a base map, so he captured his sons Yuwen Rutong and Yuwen Wen, and tortured him for three months. That's why I got this picture from Yu Wenkai's tomb, the only one in the world!"

Changsun Wuji was startled, slowly raised his head, looked back at Li Shimin, and carefully pushed the map back to Li Shimin's hand.

Li Shimin said indifferently: "Zhili... I already knew... I want this?"

Du Yan nodded and said: "If the husband has not fought and the temple is counted as a winner, it must be counted as more; if the temple has not been fought and the temple is counted as invincible, it has to be counted as less. More counts as victory, less counts as invincible, let alone nothing! The king's war What matters is not a war, but a country, so we must count. Of course, this is also the last step!"

Li Shimin's eyes became serious, and he said slowly: "The garrison in Chang'an City consists of three main parts, the Changlin Army of Qi Wang Li Yuanji, the left and right Qing Dao rate in the East Palace, and the left and right military guards stationed in the Taiji Palace. These three parts The number of the army is as high as nearly 5 horses, not to mention the Zuo Wuhou Guard in the West City and the You Wuhou Guard in the East City. These nearly 5000 soldiers and horses are not ours. The left, middle and right guards of Qin Tiance Mansion are only [-] People and horses, five thousand against eighty thousand..."

All the generals were silent.

Even if an armed coup is launched, there is a huge disparity in strength, and they have no chance of winning!

Hou Junji, Lei Yongji, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, including Yu Chigong were all silent and no one answered.

Du Yan said: "This time, our plan actually failed. Your Majesty did not punish the Prince, but only pardoned Zhang Liang, which shows that His Majesty did not believe it!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's too hasty, the plan is not perfect!"

Du Yan shook his head and said, "It's not that it's not perfect, but because of Chen Ying!"

"Chen Ying?" Li Shimin frowned slowly and said, "He!"

"Yes!" Du Yan said with a wry smile: "The news sent back from the secret work we buried in the East Palace, His Majesty was already furious at that time, and he scolded the crown prince. It was Chen Ying who boarded the jade chair and remonstrated with His Majesty... It's just a pity, our Careful work, the level is too low to get close, I didn't hear what he said, but since then, Your Majesty has returned to Tai Chi Palace!"

Changsun Wuji said indignantly: "It's Chen Ying again, who repeatedly ruined the good things of our Qin Palace!"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "Eldest grandson joining the army, don't think about it carefully. From the perspective of Consort Chen, what can he do? Rescue the king of Qin, help the prince out of the siege, and suppress this matter is the best solution. !"

Lei Yongji pointed to the scars on Li Shimin's body and said: "Look at the wounds on the king's body, how can this help the king, this is to punish the king to death!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Lei Yongji's bruised nose and swollen face, heaved a long sigh and stopped talking.

Li Shimin looked at the wound on his body and felt another headache. He just wanted to talk.

Du Yan said: "Looking at the style of General Chen's actions, he has always been abiding by his duties and never overstepped. Moreover, he has never intervened in the battle for the succession. What worries me the most is not that he will not help the king, but that he will not help the king. He is the one who completely surrendered to the prince."

Hou Junji was taken aback.

Du Ruhui explained: "He is an important general of the imperial court. Once he is used by the prince, the overall situation will become extremely unfavorable to us. As long as he remains neutral, we can solve the problems in Chang'an City by ourselves. If we can not offend, we will not offend. Once General Chen forces us to turn against us, it will be a catastrophe for us Qin Palace!"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "Even if Chen Ying remains neutral and doesn't help each other, once... at that time, His Majesty or the crown prince transfers the army of Zuo Wu Hou Wei, he will definitely obey the order!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Chen Ying's most powerful thing is training soldiers. Now Zuo Wuhouwei is in his hands for a short time. Once trained by him for three to five months, Zuowu Houwei will definitely be reborn and become the best of the best! "

When Li Shimin said this, all the generals became more entangled.

Because once this happens, they have no chance of winning.However, Zuo Wu Houwei was also responsible for the security and defense of Chang'an City. Once that time came, I'm afraid they had just made a move, and here Chen Ying could lead Zuo Wu Hou Wei to take them down in one fell swoop.

Fang Xuanling frowned, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, since General Chen can't win over, why not let him go?"

"External release?" Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, but then realized, he pondered: "This is also a good way!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Forget about it for a few days. After a while, Your Majesty will go to the palace to mention this matter to His Majesty. As long as you tell Your Majesty that tigers should not be kept in cages, His Majesty will agree to release Chen Ying. Even if he can't be released to the Western Regions, at least he should be allowed to succeed Li Shiji as the Protector of Anton!"

Cheng Zhijun nodded and said: "Even if General Zuo Wuhou Wei asked Li Shiji to do it, he is better than Chen Ying, at least Li Shiji still has a clue to use his troops!"

Du Yan said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry at this time. The first place for your majesty to start is to go to the Taiji Palace in person to verify whether there is any inaccuracy in this map. After all, this map is more than 30 years ago. !"

Li Shimin nodded.

……

Ever since Qin Wang Li Shimin was "poisoned" and vomited blood and fell into a coma during the night banquet in the East Palace, Li Yuan unexpectedly did not deal with anyone, but withdrew the surveillance of Li Shimin and the interrogation of Zhang Liang.

On the surface, the struggle for the heir apparent in the Tang court has fallen into a temporary calm, but people with discerning eyes know that this is only a superficial phenomenon, and there is an undercurrent rolling in the dark!

However, all of this has nothing to do with Chen Ying, because Chen Ying has already returned to Qinglin and is busy celebrating the New Year.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no saying of celebrating the Spring Festival, and the unconventional custom had already been formed.

This is also the sixth Spring Festival that Chen Ying came to the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the only festival that Chen Ying does not spend in the military camp.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty called the New Year "Yuanzheng" or New Year's Day (the first day of the first month, not the first day of the Gregorian calendar).

The dust removal day is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. The so-called "dust sweeping" refers to the year-end general cleaning.

Of course, as a big family like Chen Ying, the so-called "sweeping dust" is actually just a symbolic job. After all, there are so many servants and servants in the house. Suicide in shame.

Chen Ying got up early in the morning, and he and other ordinary people's families, the whole family, Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang, Fukada Hanain, and Chen Ying's four concubines, all wore hoods, gloves, and took brooms and dustpans. Cleaning up.

Even Li Siye and Chen Qian put on a show, holding a small toy broom, following behind everyone, scrambling.

Li Xiuning is very enthusiastic about cleaning housework, the key is that she is pregnant now, how dare Chen Ying let her climb up and down, Chen Ying has become Li Xiuning's full-time nanny, walking step by step.
