Chapter 239 Fu Gongyou rebels

"fifty thousand!"

"bump!"

"Three ropes!"

"bump!"

"Don't touch me anymore, I'm not going to be fooled!" Li Xiuning grabbed Sansuo from Li Daozhen's hand and said proudly: "Give money, give money!"

When Chen Ying was just starting out, he could still rely on his own experience. However, Chen Ying ignored the speed of Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, He Yueer and others learning mahjong. After five laps, the girls basically became familiar with the rules. After a day of playing, Chen Ying basically had a mixed victory and loss. After a day, he started to lose more and win less.

Looking at the last ten-point banknote in front of him being grabbed by Li Xiuning, Chen Ying said decadently: "I lost all, I won't beat you anymore, I won't beat you anymore..."

Li Xiuning shook her head and said, "No, I'll lend it to you if I don't have money, I won't count your interest!"

Chen Ying was about to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, but at this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded. Chen Ying listened to the rapid sound of horse hooves, and then the messy footsteps sounded.

This is a temporary requisition of farmhouse yard. The house is very simple. In the middle of the main hall is a wooden pillar that is smoked black. The stone foundation is bumpy. Next to the pillars is a simple table with a gap that can be stuffed into the fingers. Four elm stools and a stove in the corner. Just as the fire pit is burning, the inside and the inside are much warmer than the outside.

The entrance of the outer courtyard was only a dozen steps away from the main hall. Even if you cough at the door, you could hear it in the room. Li Xiuning listened to the messy foot sounds and knew that something must be wrong, so she pointed at Ma Sanbao and said, "Sanbao, come here and have a few rounds!"

Chen Ying got up and put on a cloak to the outside. In the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Wude, it was already extremely cold in the Guannei Road. Chen Ying and his friends were in the carriage, with a stove and a kang, so they naturally didn't feel cold. Now the soldiers who were responsible for driving the wheels or the escorts outside were in great pain.

Although Chen Ying was wearing a cotton coat, cotton pants, and cloak, she still felt obviously cold. Soon, Guo Luo appeared in Chen Ying's sight. Although Guo Luo was wearing a locomotive hat and thick sheepskin gloves, his eyebrows and beard were covered with white frost.

Seeing Guo Luo frozen like this, Chen Ying pointed to the wing room and said, "Don't hurry, let's talk about it when you enter the room!"

Chen Ying asked someone to give Guo Luo and his personal guards a cup of hot broth. Everyone gathered around the stove and roasted the fire. After a while, Guo Luo handed a letter to Chen Ying and said, "Master, news has just been heard from Chang'an!"

Chen Ying opened the letter, but had not had time to read it.

Guo Luo smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't received any news from Chang'an for three days. I feel something is wrong, so I took the people forward to investigate. Sure enough, something happened!"

Originally, according to the plan, Chen Yingying entered Yuanzhou and entered Guanzhong from Xiaoguan. The sudden cold current disrupted Chen Ying's plan. The frantic cold current was still the master of the sky, and humans still seemed insignificant under the lust and power of nature.

The thick locomotive hat, thick sheepskin gloves and sheepskin sleeping bags can no longer resist the invasion of the severe cold. It has been nearly three feet deep, deep into the belly of the horse. It has become very difficult for war horses to walk in the snow. The sky has become foggy and the sky is full of semi-condensed water mist. These water mists are not evaporated by the sun, but are too low and condensed from the air. They float lightly in the air and are specifically harmful to people.

Even though General Anxi spent three years in the Western Regions, he felt that the winter in Guanzhong was colder than in the Western Regions. There was a tent like nothing else. When the stove was lit, the tent still turned into ice. The flames rose two feet high, but they still couldn't feel much warmth.

The biggest problem now is that Chen Ying's supply problems. Originally, from Shule to Chang'an, Chen Ying walked all the way, and there was a problem of being responsible for arranging supplies nearby. It was not realistic to ask Chen Ying to Shule to arrive in Chang'an with enough food and fuel.

However, this sudden cold current not only accelerated the consumption of coal and charcoal in Chen Ying's army, but most importantly, due to the slowdown in Chen Ying's speed, Chen Ying's same supply only walked half of the planned distance. The halfway through 160 miles was a barrier that Chen Ying's army could not cross.

Guo Luo continued: "In Pingliang, our tiger ethics came from a secret supply point and encountered an unidentified enemy attack. The six tiger ethics who stayed in Pingliang died of charcoal poison. However, I have checked the scene and there are no traces of fighting..."

Chen Ying looked at the content of the secret letter and said, "Is it because of this letter?"

The content of the letter said that Li Jiancheng was almost killed by Guo Shaogang in the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice. However, after many days, Li Jiancheng also turned the danger into safety. This news has actually lost its effectiveness.

"It shouldn't be like it." Guo Luo said: "Otherwise, this letter wouldn't appear here!"

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Before I have come to Chang'an, someone has already set his sights on me. This is just a warning to Ben Dadu Protector. Our people can be said to be the ones who know charcoal best in this world. How can they be infected with charcoal poison? Since Lingzhou started using coal, Ben Dadu Protector has never died of charcoal poison. But this kind of mistake happened at this time. Do you believe there will be such a coincidence?"

Guo Luo shook his head and said, "I feel a little strange too!"

"By the way, Pingliang has arranged so many tigers to stay, and it should be more than six people who died unexpectedly!" Chen Ying was a little curious. Pingliang is known as the "Dry Wharf on Longshang" and is a must-pass town on the ancient "Silk Road" and is known in history as "the first city to go out of Chang'an in the west". Pingliang has been a major city that has barriers to the Three Qins since ancient times, and is an important city that controls the Wuyuan. It is a "place that must be fought for by military strategists" and a traditional commodity distribution center in Longdong. It is the transportation and military junction from the Central Plains to the Western Regions and the eastern end of the ancient Silk Road. It is located in the upper reaches of the Jing River. It is the "Golden Triangle" of the geometric center of the intersection of Shaanxi, Gansu (Guanshan), crossing Longshan (Guanshan), bordering Xianyang, Shaanxi to the east, Dingxi, Gansu, Baiyin, Shaanxi to the south, Baoji, Shaanxi to the north, Guyuan, Ningxia, and Qingyang, Gansu.

In such a strategic location, if only six people were arranged, Chen Ying would suspect that Tiger Yi would never be too dereliction of duty.

Guo Luo shook his head and said, "Of course there are more than six people. In Pingliang, the tiger Yidu, there are 50 core members and more than 100 peripheral members. The only person who knows the main tour is the only team leader Wu Qi, except for the six dead people."

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Take Wu Qi over to see me. Even if he has no problem, he may accidentally let it go. I must understand, who can do this tone on my people, I can't swallow this tone!"

Fortunately, Guo Luo was alert and discovered it early. If he was stupidly waiting for Pingliang to transport supplies, as long as Chen Ying and others would have frozen to death. Even if he did not freeze to death, Chen Ying's subordinates would have suffered a large-scale reduction in staff due to this cold wave. This is a conspiracy arranged by human factors, but it is possible to recover from it earlier.

Guo Luo said: "I'll do it now. If I find that there is something wrong with this person..."

Chen Ying said coldly: "Whoever is making trouble behind me, I will give you some color to see. I don't care whether he is the eldest or the second!"

What Chen Ying was angry about was not because someone was dealing with him, but because Li Jiancheng was almost killed in the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice. This represents the struggle for the throne in the court. From the initial struggle for merit and favor to never ending. Dare to take action at the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice is actually the biggest failure. Even if it is a killing person to silence the truth, these clues are still in order. As long as they have done it, they will definitely leave traces.

No matter how generous Li Jiancheng is, he will definitely fight back when he encounters a life threat.

In fact, as Chen Ying expected.

Although Li Jiancheng did not launch a counterattack, Li Yuanji had already brought Du Fengju to the East Palace. However, Li Yuanji had not yet to torture Du Fengju, and Du Fengju had already confessed another secret.

This news caused a cool air to burst into Li Jiancheng's spine.

Li Yuanji said: "What did you say?"

Du Fengju said lightly: "In May of the fifth year of Wude, Qiao Gongshan and Erzhu Huan reported to Renzhi Palace, and Yang Wengan rebelled..."

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized that at that time, Li Yuan sent Yu Wenying as an imperial envoy to the Eastern Palace to summon Li Jiancheng to the palace, but secretly ordered Pei Ji to adjust the defense of the entire Chang'an. At the same time, he issued a secret edict to Li Shimin to fight against rebellion. At that time, Li Yuan even had the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince and replacing the King of Qin.

But Li Shimin did it too fast, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, killing Yang Wengan to death, and taking Yang Wengan's head back to Chang'an to report his life.

This made Li Yuan see the loophole, because the alive Yang Wengan was far more convincing than the dead. Yang Wengan's rebellion had become a fact. If he ordered Li Jiancheng alive, Li Jiancheng would definitely be abolished. However, the King of Qin was reborn, but Yang Wengan was killed. Although the dead could not speak, they could not lie.

Although Li Yuan suspected that there was something wrong with it, he did nothing more.

When Li Yuanji heard this, he was so angry that his veins bulged on his neck: "I'm a bitch, what did you say? Qiao Gongshan was instructed by the second brother?"

Du Feng nodded and said, "To be precise, this matter was instructed by Du Yan, the son of Qiao Gongshan, Qiao Wensheng, owed 1,500 gold gambling debts in Chang'an, was caught by the gambling house. He had no money to chop his hands and feet. Qiao Gongshan had to do this!"

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said, "This matter is an old matter. Your Majesty has no intention to pursue it, and the Crown Prince does not want to pursue it. Tell me, what's going on in the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice!"

Du Fengju said angrily: "This matter is a long story. My mother accidentally saw the secret letter written by Guo Shaogang to Du Yan that old dog. My mother was shocked and handed the secret letter to me. I knew it was of great importance and advised her mother to put the letter back to the original place. Who knew that the old dog would kill my mother?"

At this moment, a hurried sound of horse hooves came faintly. Li Jiancheng and the others pricked up their ears and listened for a while. After a while, they saw the guards on duty and brought several eunuchs to the door. A very handsome eunuch, without waiting for the news, walked in and glanced at the faces of everyone. When they saw Li Jiancheng, they bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty summoned Your Highness to the Wude Hall to discuss matters!"

Wei Zheng took a piece of money and quietly stuffed it into the hands of the little eunuch: "I don't know... Your Majesty summoned the prince, what's wrong?"

Chen Ying's Tang Tongli Money House in this era was the convenience of bribery.

If it is normal, ten thousand jins would weigh 70,000 jin, which would weigh 35 tons of copper coins. Even the big trucks in later generations would have to be filled with a truck, but now they can be condensed on a piece of paper.

The little official glanced secretly and was immediately overjoyed: "Five hundred coins!" He would never make so much money in his life.
