Some things cannot stand the most scrutiny. Although the banquet was arranged by Zheng Guanyin, the Qi Palace was still left with people. The key point was that at the night banquet in the East Palace, Li Shimin was poisoned and vomited blood, which almost caused Li Jiancheng to be killed in a place that would never be restored...

Li Jiancheng thought to himself, if this matter was done by Li Yuanji, what was his purpose?

Even if Yuchi Gong gave Li Jiancheng's face, Li Jiancheng was very angry at the time, but because Yuchi Gong was rude in front of the imperial court, he would be imprisoned for a few days at most, and the heaviest punishment would be to dismiss the official position. However, as one of Li Jiancheng's direct confidants, Yuchi Gong only went through a formality and found an opportunity to restore his official position in two or three months at most.

Li Jiancheng sighed and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "I am walking on thin ice now. If I am not careful, I will fall into a place that will never be restored!"

Wei Zheng pondered: "I have been thinking about a question?"

Li Jiancheng said: "What then?"

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Doess the foreign countries or to stabilize the country!"

Li Jiancheng also began to think that the Tang Dynasty's income and expenditure were limited, but the increase of nearly twice the amount of officials was also a huge burden on the court. The key was to reduce titles and reduce officials, which was imperative. If Li Jiancheng did not have the courage to touch this matter, then in the future, Li Chengdao would not have the courage to do this.

Li Jiancheng said without comment: "Chen Ying, what do you think?"

"Personality is human instinct!" Chen Ying shrugged and Gu Zuo smiled relaxedly: "Your Majesty, I am thinking about an ancient thing. Why did Emperor Xin lose his country?"

Speaking of Emperor Xin, there may be very few people who know it, but when it comes to Daji, people are familiar with it. Various legends, legends, and TV tell her story to the fullest, and the legend is extremely legendary. Because Zhou of Shang was disrespectful to Nuwa, one of the "Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb" was ordered by Nuwa to destroy Shang, so he attached himself to Daji, the daughter of Hou Suhu of Jizhou, and entered the palace. He relied on his beauty to be favored, and he ruined the palace, harmed the loyal and fierce, and even encouraged King Zhou to be tyrannical and unjust, losing all his heart, and thus destroyed the country.

"Zhou, the remnant meaning is a detrimental loss of goodness." The derogatory title given by the Zhou people is well-known and notorious. However, his other title, "Di Xin", is little known. Just like "Cheng Tang" and "Wu Ding", "Di Xin" is his true title as the king of the great Shang Dynasty. According to the Zhou people, he was the King of King Zhou who was extremely debauchery and full of evil.

History at any time is contemporary history. At this time, Li Jiancheng was preparing to carry out internal reforms, reduce troops and defend foreign aggression from outside. In fact, Li Jiancheng, at this time, launched a large-scale counterattack against the Dongyi with Emperor Xin. After a protracted and arduous war, he defeated the Dongyi, defended the Central Plains, and developed the Shang Dynasty's power to the current Jianghuai area, and expanded the territory to the coastal areas of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even Fujian.

However, the Shang Dynasty was attacked by the Zhou army led by King Wen of Zhou. In the Battle of Muye, he turned against him at the end of the battle, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.

What does the crimes of Emperor Xin say in "Shangshu? Mu Yu"? "Mu Yu" is a general mobilization of the entire army by King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, King Wu of Muye before the decisive battle. In such a pre-war manifesto, it should naturally be a big book to write about Emperor Xin's evil and to create a righteous image of himself and acting in the way of heaven, so as to arouse the common hatred of the army and the people. In the article, Emperor Xin's crimes have four points: one is the only way to say it is to use it. Two is to abandon the words of the wife and sacrifice it, but not to answer it. Three is to abandon the king's parents and brothers without resignation. Fourth, it is to escape from many crimes in all directions, whether they are respectful or long, whether they are trusted or sent, and they think they are the great officials and ministers, so that they can abuse the people and commit traitors in Shangqiu.

However, dynasties have slandered him, and twenty-seven things have been added to the Warring States Books, twenty-two things have been added to the Western Han Dynasty, and fifteen things have been added to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The public talks have made gold, which has almost been concluded.

Of course, Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng and other wise men did not believe these things at all, because Yang Guang's example was right in front of him.

In fact, Li Jiancheng also knew that the reason why Emperor Xin failed was because Emperor Xin's internal reforms at that time touched the interests of some people, which was the Yuanshen Cult (that is, the prototype of the Tongtian Cult in the Romance of the Gods).

Looking at the history of the world, it is easy to find that in all countries around the world, there are also divine power over the kingly power. During the Wu Ding period before Emperor Xin, a fierce confrontation with the One Yuanshen Cult began. During the Emperor Xin's period, four kings served as one after another, and finally suppressed the One Yuanshen Cult.

The stubborn forces were not willing to fail. He took advantage of the time when Emperor Xin's elite troops were expeditioning the East to Dongyi and the Shang capital was empty, and used the stubborn forces such as Bigan, Huiziqi to collude with the Zhou Dynasty, lead the Zhou army into the pass, and then instigated the last slave army of the Shang Dynasty, so the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.

Chen Ying's words were actually a vague warning to Li Jiancheng to be careful of the stubborn forces in the court to prevent their counterattack. Because once Li Jiancheng follows Fang Xuanling's reform opinions, streamlines officials and then demotes titles to the royal family, he will definitely commit three of the four crimes of Emperor Xin.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "According to the habit of the Turks, the autumn is their time to use troops. Now there are two months left, so I will first reduce the mediocre officials. I would rather give the saved money and grain to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty than to throw them to these ungrateful wolves!"

...

His Highness Liangyi in Tai Chi Palace, Li Jiancheng sat upright on the imperial bed, and the civil and military ministers were listed on the hatchback.

A central servant read in a stern manner in the hall with the imperial edict: "I ordered Chen Ying to recruit 100,000 young and strong men in Guanzhong to build Chang'an to Yuanzhou with work-for-relief...

All the officials exchanged their eyes. Everyone present was the human spirit. What is the role of the Tao? If the officials were not clear five years ago, they now knew that the Taoist road from Chang'an to Luoyang has not been fully developed, but it has been built to Taolin, which is more than 500 miles from Taolin to Chang'an City.

The two million stones of grain stored in Taolin consumed less than tens of thousands of stones on this 500-mile road, and most of them were successfully transported to Changqing.

At present, the purpose of recruiting people to build a road towards Yuanzhou is to transport troops. The purpose of transporting grain can save too much food and time. If it is a general official road, a grain truck with a 500-mile area will take at least ten days, but starting from Taolin, you can get a round trip in five days, which is more than twice as fast.

Xiao Yu frowned.

Feng Deyi closed his eyes and said nothing.

The envoy read out the edict.

Li Jiancheng slowly scanned the expressions of all officials.

Wei Zheng stood in the queue with a expressionless face.

Li Jiancheng said: "Do you guys have any objections?"

Xiao Yu suppressed his anger and said, "I oppose it! The severe drought in Guanzhong is a natural disaster. It is a big problem to recruit the people to build a prosperous road. If 100,000 people gather together, it is very easy to cause changes in the people. Once a change in the people is changed, it is a man-made disaster. Natural disasters cannot be cured by man-power, but man-made disasters can be avoided. If Your Majesty insists on doing this, it will definitely make the people in the world laugh at Your Majesty for being unethical and the court is incompetent. If you have no virtue and incompetent, what will Your Majesty and the court take to command the world in the future?"

Chen Shuda was very anxious and hurriedly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think Xiao Xiang's remarks are extremely absurd. A few days ago, the price of grain soared, and it has exhausted the remaining wealth in the people's homes. If you don't build a road, can you not let the victims starve to death? Then you can let Your Majesty and the court have virtue and ability? The people of Guanzhong are starving thousands of miles under Your Majesty's eyes and change their sons to eat. Your Majesty and the court have virtue and ability?"

Xiao Yu turned around and pointed at Chen Shuda and roared: "A perverse person, you are so arrogant and urging Your Majesty to build a large-scale construction project? It is obviously because of ulterior motives!"

Chen Shuda also pointed at Xiao Yu with a blushing face and retorted: "The people of Guanzhong are now in dire straits, but you, the prime minister, have turned a blind eye to it and looked at it. I see you, it is clearly a corpse and a place of food, without virtue and power!"

Xiao Yu was furious and rushed to Chen Shuda and shouted: "Flame...villain!"

Chen Shuda retorted: "Pediagra!"

Xiao Yu was so angry that he reached out to pull Chen Shuda's clothes.

Chen Shuda was not willing to be outdone and pulled Xiao Yu's beard with his backhand.

The two big bosses fought each other like rogues on the street.

All the officials were stunned.

Chen Ying couldn't bear to watch.

At this moment, Wei Zheng stepped out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I impeach you. The Left Master of the Shangshu She Xiao Yu and the Secretary Chen Shuda have lost their manners in front of the palace, and they have no style as an auxiliary minister, which has insulted the prestige of the court."

Li Jiancheng said in a cold tone: "Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, as the prime minister of the three provinces, cannot share my worries and problems, but he will only roar in front of the palace and attack each other, and it is really difficult to take on the position of provincial minister. Fang Xuanling!"

Fang Xuanling came out and said, "I am here!"

Li Jiancheng: "Go down and write an imperial edict, and dismiss Xiao Yu, Zuo Pushe, and Chen Shuda's position as the chief minister of Shizhong."

The court suddenly became silent.

Among the officials, several of them were shocked and dropped the tablet in their hands on the ground.

Li Jiancheng looked faint, looked around everyone and said slowly: "Retreat!"

...

In front of the Feng family, there is a tall mansion gate and a wide courtyard wall. A plaque hanging high above the lintel of the mansion gate, with three large characters "Shangshu Di" written on it.

There are door halberds and horse-mounted stones on both sides of the gate.

Four-wheeled carriages were parked in the open space in front of the gate.

The Feng family was full of joy.

Feng Daoyan hurriedly and greeted the visitors who followed him.

A child of aristocratic clan stepped forward and smiled, "Brother Feng, when is there any time? Yanfenglou has recently come to several Peugeot Hu Ji, I am here to be the host!"

Another aristocratic child said, "Hehe... let it go, Hu Ji accidentally gave birth to a child with gray eyes and green hair, which was messed up with his own bloodline and was ashamed of his ancestors. Brother Feng, this is the invitation of his father. When will Ling Zun have time to spend time and spend time to go to my house to sit?"

Several guests from the Feng family were proudly watching the lively living room in the next wing.

"Xiao Yu was dismissed from the prime minister. According to convention, the lord was promoted to the left volley. It was natural."

"Yes, Lord, since the first year of Wude, I have been careful. After these eight years, I will finally become the Prime Minister."

In sharp contrast to Feng Mansion, Pei Sikong's mansion was deserted, and Lawyer Pei looked at the direction of Feng Deyi's mansion in disappointment.

Lawyer Pei said dissatisfiedly: "It's so late, the Feng family is still having a night banquet, which is really annoying!"

Pei Ji walked out of the room slowly and stood in the yard.

Lawyer Pei said indignantly: "Dad, why did you sit down and watch Your Majesty dismiss Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda today? Then Wei Zheng is too arrogant. He is the old man, and he was just a fourth-rank left son."

Pei Ji shook his head and gently patted Lawyer Pei on the shoulder and said, "Don't ask so much, and don't participate in the court at will. Then Wei Zheng is Li Jiancheng, a dog used to rectify the court. Therefore, Li Jiancheng would use his subordinate to serve as a part-time censor. The purpose is to let him out and bite people at the critical moment."

Lawyer Pei frowned in confusion: "Dad means, isn't this a joke?"

Pei Ji nodded and said, "After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jiancheng did not replace the prime ministers with his own people. That's because he had not yet established a stable foothold at that time. Now, the danger of food famine in Guanzhong was lifted. Generals of the imperial government commanded the army, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, Xie Yingdeng, Zhang Gongjin, and even Li Shentong surrendered to Li Jiancheng. Now, his position has been firmly settled, so the time to sort out the prime ministers of the three provinces is ripe."

When Chen Shuda’s mansion heard that Li Jing was visiting, he quickly came out to greet him.

Chen Shuda looked at Li Jing and said, "Pharmacist, you will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble!"

Li Jing smiled softly and said, "The old prime minister was scolded by His Majesty and came to visit him."

Chen Shuda smiled bitterly and said, "I'm old and useless. Even His Majesty dislikes me."

Li Jing said: "Tomorrow, I will go and say a few justice to the old prime minister."

Chen Shuda waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty's removal of my official position this time is definitely not a rash move. Feng Deyi's age and qualifications have reached, and it will be natural to be promoted to Prime Minister. But the most important thing is that the position of Shangshu's Right Pushe was given out. Your Majesty wants to use this position to arrange his most trusted confidant, Wei Zheng.

Li Jing said suspiciously: "No, Wei Zheng's qualifications are too shallow, and it's not his turn to Wang Gui!"

Uncle Chen said confidently: "Just open your eyes and look at me. I will definitely not say anything wrong."

...

Just when the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, Li Shimin also ascended the Aztec country on the Fuso Continent. The capital of the country, Teotihuacan (located between the hillside of Mount Popocateper in Mexico and the Istasivatre volcano, 40 kilometers away from Mexico City), is a veritable city of gods. Countless palaces and temples were built here, enshrined with the sun god, moon god, feather snake temple, and the rain god Tallok. In the Aztec country, the rain god Tallok also has the power to manage the country.

However, there is no monarchy here, only monarchy. Each generation of monarchs produced new leaders from democratic elections similar to the ancient Chinese period, and each leader was called Tralok. The Aztec country was the earliest civilization in the Americas to enter the city-state system. As early as the first year of the First Year of the Chinese New Year to 150 AD, the Aztec country established a city with a population of 50,000. After entering 600 AD, Teotihuacan entered a period of rapid development, and at this time the population had reached 200,000.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, there are less than twenty cities with a population of more than 200,000. In Fusang, this city is undoubtedly the largest city.

In fact, American civilizations have one common special, they all like to sacrifice live. Whether it is the ancestor spirits they believe in or the various gods, they are all sacrificed by living people. Under this traditional custom, they are very barbaric and bloody, but they create a very bad situation, and the population here cannot increase in large quantities. With a bumper harvest, the Aztecs will sacrifice living people to Tallock, and when they are affected, they will also sacrifice living people to Tallock. This kind of sacrifice is not only prisoners of war and slaves, but also considered to be an automatic sacrifice, which will be a manifestation of loyalty and piety.

This time the ocean was relatively smooth, especially with Chen Ying’s canned supplies. There were less than 100 sailors who died due to accidents along the way, and only three ocean-going ships sank in the storm.

After Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie, Du Ruhui and others arrived in Fusang Continent, after half a month of restoration and renovation, Zhang Zhongjian sent Li Shimin and others to reconnaissance the city of Teotihuacan.

Li Shimin had only more than 100 soldiers around him, basically all of his old subordinates. He brought these more than 100 people to reconnaise the giant city with a population of more than 200,000. When Li Shimin took over the mission, he greeted Zhang Zhongjian's ancestors in his heart.

However, reality is very helpless. Although Li Shimin was in the Tang Dynasty, he was the King of Qin, General Tiance, and Shangshu Ling, but in the Fusang Continent, he was definitely not a match for Zhang Zhongjian. Chen Ying gave him equipment that could arm the army of 100,000, although he only had more than 35,000, including nearly 8,000 Japanese.

Li Shimin had seen these little dwarfs with an average figure of less than six feet. When fighting, they were like beasts. Even though they were covered in blood, they still attacked fiercely until they exhausted their last bit of strength.
