Chapter 68 Unwarranted
When Chen Ying saw Li Jiancheng, he was also shocked by Li Jiancheng's appearance. At this time, Li Jiancheng's face was sallow and bloodless, and his eyes were deep and thin. He learned from He Yue'er that Li Jiancheng had always calmed down the anger of the Turks because Li Yuan wanted to deal with Chen Ying. Li Jiancheng ignored Li Yuan's opposition and secretly connected with the forces of the princely clan in the court, which mixed up the issue of Li Yuan's secretly instructing the censor to impeach Chen Ying.
Li Jiancheng not only had a quarrel with Li Yuan, but also made Li Yuan more serious. Under the attack of Li Yuan's ten-stop surrender, Li Jiancheng became heartbroken from then on.
But when Chen Ying saw Li Jiancheng's appearance now, he felt secretly guilty. Just when Chen Ying was about to bow to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Ying, looking at each other. Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with a soul-stirring splendor. Chen Ying thought it was his own illusion, or Li Jiancheng's rebirth.
Li Jiancheng slowly sat up, but the little eunuchs around him were not panicked, closing the door and holding the water. In the stunned eyes of Chen Ying, Li Jiancheng slowly used a towel to wash his face and restored his originally fair and rosy skin. As for Li Jiancheng's deep eye sockets, it was also an illusion made with fish glue.
Li Jiancheng wiped his hands clean and stretched his waist comfortably: "I can't lie down. As long as I lie on for one day, my bones will become soft. If I lie on for ten or half a month, I will be ruined."
When Chen Ying heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, how did you deceive the imperial doctor in the palace?"
"When you use money, everyone has a price that suits you in your heart!" Li Jiancheng smiled faintly and said, "As long as you give enough money, they can naturally diagnose the stubborn disease of our palace!"
Chen Ying secretly smacked his tongue. There were really few good people in the old Li family. He originally thought that Li Jiancheng was a honest man, but who would have thought that he could act. In fact, Li Jiancheng not only knew how to act, but also had very powerful political methods. The Qin King's Mansion was strong and there were many strategists, but on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin was still suppressed very miserably by Li Jiancheng, and eventually had to stage a poisoned plan, almost poisoning himself to death.
"It's good that your highness is fine. Your Highness has caused trouble for your Highness!" Chen Ying said guiltily: "Your Highness has been framed repeatedly in Lingzhou. Now you have to ask for help from Your Highness. Please live my life!"
Li Jiancheng asked as if he was pointing out, "What are you afraid of?"
Chen Ying said: "The disciple uses Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee. The disciple has never sent anyone to assassinate the Duke of Lueyang County. But now the Duke of Lueyang County was assassinated in Gaoping, so the subordinates can't even clear the situation even if they jump into the Yellow River!"
Li Jiancheng said: "You said you did not send anyone to assassinate Li Daozong. Do you have any evidence?"
"Prove it, there is really nothing," Chen Ying sighed helplessly and said, "It would be great if the disciples had evidence to prove their innocence. If they said this, it would be not bragging. If the disciples really wanted to kill the Duke of Luyang County, they would not allow him to live until now!"
"You are also a worry-free person!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Why are you back now? You have returned to Beijing without an imperial edict, except to give others a more excuse!"
Chen Ying pretended to be frightened and said, "I am really afraid. I am not afraid of the swords and guns on the battlefield, but this hidden arrow is hard to defend against."
"The three major salt lakes in Lingwu have an annual output of 100,000 stones of salt. Don't you know how much profit does it involve?" Li Jiancheng said: "Severing people's wealth is like killing their parents. If they don't frame you, who else will they frame?"
Chen Ying's eyes almost popped out. He originally thought that he had just emerged from nowhere, hindering the Turks' plan to drive away wolf and swallow tigers, and also hindering the Liang Shidu's dream of unifying the whole world. It seemed that it was not the case at all. Chen Ying said: "Can you say that the people who framed your disciples come from Chang'an?"
Li Jiancheng pointed at Chen Ying, who was sorry for Chen Ying: "You, I really don't know what you are good at. Do you know whose territory is Lingzhou?"
Chen Ying said inexplicably: "Who's from?"
"Mr. Wuling!"
Chen Ying was even more confused at this time.
Li Jiancheng said: "At the beginning of the previous dynasty, the Turkic people invaded the border. Yang Jian ordered the left guard general Yuan Zhou to be the general manager of Lingzhou. Yuan Zhou was brave and decisive since he was a child and had developed a variety of martial arts. He had a beautiful beard and tiger beard, which looked inviolable. The Turkic people were also very afraid of him, so Yuan Zhou established a business in Lingzhou."
The Yuan family, one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty, was actually the core controlled area of Lingzhou. Almost 80% of the salt and iron in Lingzhou were controlled by the Yuan family. After Chen Ying reached Lingzhou, he not only dug coal, but also prepared to build a steel factory, which violated the taboo of the Yuan family.
The Yuan family's head is Yuan Huaijing, and he has a very close relationship with Li Yuan when he was young. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Huaijing presented Li Yuan with 100,000 kilograms of iron and 200,000 jin of money. Li Yuan then appointed Yuan Huaijing as the Duke of Wuling County. He was the official of Guanglu Temple. Although Guanglu Temple was not a real-power department, it was equivalent to the later CPPCC. At this time, Yuan Huaijing was the official of Guanglu Temple.
...
Yuan Huaijing first bribed Liu Zhongzhi to frame Chen Yingshi, and Li Yuan noticed that Yuan was making trouble. Even without Chen Ying's memorial, Liu Zhongzhi would not be able to survive. Because Li Yuan hated Liu Zhongzhi's butt was sitting in a crooked manner. In fact, Lingzhou is not a new place. Lingzhou has been a Feng Shui treasure land since ancient times, not only producing iron, but also producing salt, salt and iron, which can be a first-class national strategic material.
As the emperor, Li Yuan naturally would not let Yuan continue to control the iron and salt in Lingzhou. Li Yuan wanted to take back the control of the iron in Lingzhou. However, he did not expect that he would not be able to frame him once. He did not expect that Yuan's family would assassinate Li Daozong and conspire to frame Chen Ying.
Li Yuan was already very angry at this time.
The night was deep and it was already midnight. Li Yuan sat in front of the imperial seat in the imperial study, squinted his glasses and looked at the memorial, and suddenly his steps sounded softly. Li Yuan did not look back. In this palace, all he could enter was his close letter.
A faint wave suddenly appeared in front of the dragon pillar in the imperial study, and a figure slowly appeared. Li Yuan was not surprised to see this scene. In fact, this was General Yu Yanzhang, the left guard of Li Yuan.
Yu Yanzhang is the son of Yu Juluo. In the novel "The Complete Biography of Tang", Jiu Lao of Sui, Yu Juluo, Luo Yi, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Han Qinhu are real characters, and the others are all fictional. Yu Juluo was killed by Yang Guang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but Yu Juluo's son Yu Yanzhang was not killed because of this, but his property was confiscated. Li Jiancheng established the Tang Dynasty and accidentally got Yu Yanzhang, but he actually killed pigs and made a living. He suddenly felt pity and accepted him as the guard of the prison. However, Li Yuan saw that he was very skilled and proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, so he promoted him to the general of the left sect.
Yu Yanzhang can not only disappear out of thin air in the faint light, but also like a fish in water in the dark. In name, the left supervisor guard is an imperial guard who controls the palace ban, but in fact the left supervisor guard monitors the entire Chang'an City. At this time, the functions of the left supervisor guard are similar to the later Song Dynasty Imperial City Division and the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, but their organization and ability are much worse.
Li Yuan asked lightly: "How is the matter checking?"
Yu Yanzhang bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Yuan has no abnormal movement!"
Li Yuan frowned and said, "No abnormal movement?"
Yu Yanzhang said: "The Yuan family has 17 farms outside Chang'an City. They have not yet left Chang'an City, and they have not left Chang'an!"
Li Yuan said: "This is impossible? Who has this strength except Yuanshi?"
Yu Yanzhang was stunned and suddenly realized.
Politics is that simple. It is said that you do it, it is what you do, it is not. It is said that you do it, it is not what you do, it is not what you do, it is not what you do, it is not!
