When Chen Ying heard this, he suddenly realized.

Changsun Wugui's talent is comparable to ordinary men. At least she has left many poems in history, as well as the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", known as a model of women's morality.

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Sanniang, okay, I will follow you!"

...

In Chang'an City, just a quarter of an hour before the curfew, a four-wheeled carriage without any sign closed the window and slowly arrived outside Pei Ji's mansion.

Two Yuan entourages ran out from behind the carriage, walked to the gate of Pei Mansion, and gently pulled up the beast-carrying copper ring.

"Dongdong..."

As the knocking sounded, the door of Pei's mansion immediately knocked on the door. Pei's Si Chang leaned out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Yuan Sui did not answer, and reached out to take out a cup of gold-inlaided brand.

Si Yan saw the words on the famous brand and hurriedly opened the door.

The carriage slowly walked along the corridor of Pei's mansion and towards the inside.

Pei Mansion covers an area of ​​about ten acres and has seven or eight courtyards. In addition to the backyard ancestral hall, it also houses the clan school, nursing home, Anjifang, and Luze Garden in Pei Mansion.

In the front yard warm pavilion, there are four copper lamps on both sides of the geese foot. The lamp is shaped like a geese's sole foot. It holds up a ring-shaped lamp plate. There are three lamp posts in the lamp plate. Three candles are lit at the same time, making the warm pavilion bright as day.

Under the bright candlelight, the brown old man spots on the face of the old man in black became more and more obvious.

Pei Ji and his son Lawyer Pei came hurriedly.

Pei Ji and Lawyer Pei quickly bowed to the old man and said, "Xuan Zhen (Pei Ji's face) to meet him!"

Lao Jin in black did not get up, his body was slightly owed, and he was counted as returning.

The old man in black looked at Pei Ji and said lightly: "Xuanzhen, Supreme Emperor, how about his body?"

Pei Ji bowed and said, "Reporting to the head of Huishou, the Supreme Emperor is in good health, but his spirit is not as good as before."

The old man in black sighed and said, "Since the Supreme Emperor was forced to abdicate, the world of Chang'an... is getting worse every day. The prince's true form is revealed, his military is strong, and the country of the Tang Dynasty...

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Why bother with these trivial matters?"

The old man in black said with a serious expression: "There is no home, there is no home. The East Palace is a stingy person, stealing power, and acting recklessly. The court will collapse. How can you and I be purify without seeing you?"

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "So what? Now in Chang'an City, all the knife handles are held in the emperor's hands."

The old man in black shook his sleeves and said righteously: "Why do you need swords and swords? It is just a bravery for ordinary men to show off their strengths. If you are suffering from severe drought today, you will be famine in Guanzhong, and the court and the country are full of complaints. As long as Xuan Zhen stand up and shout..."

Pei Ji suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, so please come back."

The old man in black looked at Pei Ji in surprise and murmured: "Xuanzhen, you..."

Pei Ji snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to know what I want to do first, and I don't have to know. People come and see off guests!"

The old man in black left in anger. He walked at the door of the warm pavilion and turned to look at Pei Ji and said, "Pei San, you have to think clearly!"

Pei Ji said proudly: "Pei Ji thinks it very clearly!"

The old man in black had murderous aura flashing in his eyes, and he said with a ferocious look on his face: "Good you Pei San!"

As he said that, the old man in black turned around and left.

Lawyer Pei quietly walked to Pei Ji and said with a worried look: "Father, I have a reasonable point, why...

Pei Ji turned around and glared at Lawyer Pei, and said with a serious look: "The emperor is no longer Ameng, the Eastern Palace adviser is like clouds and military generals are like rain. Now, he has also incorporated the old subordinates of the King of Qin and will lead them. He thinks lightly and head-on. There is only one ending, he will die and die."

Lawyer Pei said angrily: "Will anyone in the world be unable to do anything to him?"

Pei Ji sneered and said, "The blood change of Xuanwu Gate, the King of Qin eliminated the left guard of the Supreme Emperor, and all the kings of the Li clan clan stood opposite to the Supreme Emperor. Don't you understand? The Emperor of the Supreme Emperor has supported the Eastern Palace to fight with the Qin Palace over the years, and has lost people's hearts. This is..."

Pei Ji thought about it, but in the end he still didn't say anything about the unrighteous actions that would kill oneself.

However, Li Yuan is now asking for his own fault. This is the truth.

Because Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng fought and forced them to return to Hebei and Jianghuai. Due to these two wars, tens of thousands of people died, millions were homeless and suffered heavy losses.

If these two disasters that could have been avoided, why would Chang'an be like this?

Just like the current food crisis, Chen Ying saw through the market rules of later generations that some people were doing things in the Guanzhong grain market. Although Pei Ji did not understand the economy, he realized from the undercurrents of Chang'an City that someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

Pei Ji was actually wrong in guessing. He thought that Li Shimin was standing behind the head.

Although the undercurrents in Chang'an are now rolling, Pei Ji saw that the entire Emperor of Li Tang was standing on Li Jiancheng's side. At least even if Li Yuan came forward, the Li Tang clan's clan would definitely be able to take out millions of stones of grain for Li Yuan to call.

Now that Li Shimin has lost the righteousness, the only chance he can replace it is to use a knife, start a killing, and kill all those who oppose Li Shimin. In that way, Li Shimin can regain the throne.

However, this was impossible. At that time, Chen Ying was able to make hundreds or thousands of guards guarded by the Qin Prince's Mansion dare not move. With Chen Ying, Li Shimin had no chance, even if he joined forces with the Turks, he still had no chance.

...

The carriage left Pei Mansion and slowly advanced along the fang road.

Yuan's entourage bowed and said, "Pei Ji is too ignorant to show off. Do you want to give him some color..."

The old man in black shook his head and said, "Now, our war has just begun. It is unknown who will win the destiny. Pei Ji is a smart man. He will not show off his eagle without seeing a rabbit. As long as he sees Li Jiancheng's failure, it is inevitable that he will make a choice!"

The carriage without signs was walking along the fang road, gradually entering the backyard of the Qi Prince's Mansion.

In the backyard of the Qi Prince's Mansion, the old man in black had just entered.

King Li Yuanji of Qi quickly greeted him and said, "Mr. Yuwen, how about it?"

Yu Wenji shook his head and said, "Pei San is not confused yet!"

Li Yuanji's face instantly stepped down: "Are you old man Pei Ji looking for death?

Yu Wenhua and smiled faintly, "If we lose this battle, Pei Ji will naturally refuse; if we win, he will definitely be scruples. Whether it is the Dragon's merit or the family's interests, he will make a wise choice!"

Li Yuanji nodded in confidence and suspicion.

Yu Wenji smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you want to accomplish a big thing, you must rescue two people!"

Li Yuanji asked without hesitation: "Who?"

Yu Wenhe said: "Changsun Wuji and Du Yan, even if Li Jiancheng will pardon Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan, it is possible to pardon Changsun Wuji and Du Yan!"

Li Yuanji pondered and said, "These two people have no wise reputations and talent in governing the country. What is the purpose of this?"

Yu Wenhe said: "The enemy's enemy is a friend. Although Changsun Wuji and Du Yan were not successful enough, they were defeated... You must tell the two that if you don't care about their past, they will definitely make a decision!"

...

The Tai Chi Palace is brightly lit.

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with a tired look on his face and said, "Is this the same thing about Fangzhou, Danzhou?"

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "All the dozen prefectures and counties in Guanlong are like this. The generals of Tongguan have closed the city of Guanzhong, and all the victims in Guanzhong are blocked. If they don't find a way quickly, this month, Guanzhong will start changing their children and eating, and hundreds of millions of people will starve to death under the eyes of His Majesty."

Li Jiancheng covered his face with his hands in pain and said, "The treasury and granaries in Chang'an have no food left."

Li Jiancheng raised his head hatefully and said, "In the past three years, three years of harvest, and now even Guanzhong has no food. More than four million stones of food on the books have disappeared. The officials of the court have almost never done any serious business, and these people deserve to die."

Wei Zheng looked coldly and said, "If you want to say damn, the first one who deserves damn is the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng in shock.

Wei Zheng said coldly: "For three years, the Supreme Emperor has encouraged His Majesty to fight for the reign of Qin King for the throne, which has caused panic among the savages. Civil and military officials are busy with party struggles, resulting in abstaining from political affairs. If not, even in the disaster year, how could the court end up without food for disaster relief?"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Fang Xuanling looked at Jiancheng with anxiety.

Li Jiancheng sat behind the desk, reading the memorial one by one.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "If we want to solve the hunger of the people in Guanzhong, at least how much food is needed?"

Wei Zheng said lightly: "It depends on your Majesty, how much it will be solved."

Li Jiancheng said painfully: "Take this month first, twenty days of food."

Fang Xuanling blurted out: "Chang'an alone requires at least 300,000 stones."

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Now, go and borrow it, give up my old face, go and borrow it!"

Fang Xuanling said in surprise: "Go and borrow?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "There are still food stored in the Guanzhong tribe. A few years ago, after the great victory in Luoyang, I... I have borrowed it once and paid it back once. Now I will lend it out again!"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't waste your energy!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with red eyes.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Today is different from the past. This time, the food shortage in Guanzhong is three parts natural disasters and seven parts man-made disasters!"

What Wei Zheng said is indeed very normal. Although it has not rained in Chang'an for three months, people have even had a problem with drought resistance.

However, the biggest impact of this catastrophe is to be in the aftermath of autumn. This year, there will be no harvest, and there will definitely be wailing in Guanzhong next year.

But it's only three months now, and the food crisis is out of control.

Wei Zheng then pondered: "All grain merchants in Guanzhong are actually Guanzhong clans!"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Wei Zheng continued: "In order to obtain the land in Guanzhong, these Guanzhong clans will definitely force the people to sell all their land. They can buy a mu of fertile land at the price of a dou or a liter of grain!"

Li Jiancheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and forth, "What should I do now? Could I just watch the people of Guanzhong eat with my own eyes?"

Wei Zheng shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, there is only one way now, wait for General Chen's plan to succeed!"

Li Jiancheng said anxiously: "When will we wait?"

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Don't worry, General Chen has never disappointed His Majesty, right?"

Fang Xuanling also said: "General Chen is an unparalleled national warrior! He has always been known as loyalty and righteousness, guarding Lingzhou and defending the Western Regions, and his military strategy is outstanding. He has the ambition of the world and has strategies to help the people. He cannot use the Qin King, so he is defeated. If Your Majesty can use it, then the world will be ruled and Chang'an in all directions will be expected!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise.

I didn't expect Fang Xuanling would have such a high evaluation of Chen Ying.

Li Jiancheng regained some confidence and murmured: "No, yes, Chen Ying has never disappointed me, and he will definitely succeed this time!"
