Chapter 826 Fu Gongyou Rebelled (Part [-])

Chapter [-] Fu Gongyou rebelled

"fifty thousand!"

"bump!"

"Three cable!"

"bump!"

"Don't touch it, I'm going crazy!" Li Xiuning grabbed Sansuo from Li Daozhen's hand, and said triumphantly: "Give me money, give me money!"

When Chen Ying just started, he could still rely on his own experience, but Chen Ying ignored the speed at which Li Xiuning, Li Daozhen, and He Yueer learned mahjong. After five rounds, the girls basically got familiar with the rules. After playing for a day, Chen Ying's wins and losses are basically mixed. After one day, he has already started to lose more and win less.

Seeing the last ten-peat banknote in front of him being held by Li Xiuning, Chen Ying said decadently: "I've lost everything, I won't trade it, I won't trade it..."

Li Xiuning shook her head and said: "No, let's play for a while, I'll lend you money if you don't have money, and your own people don't count as your interest!"

Chen Yingzheng was about to give up his life to accompany the gentleman, but at this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes.Chen Ying listened attentively to the rapid sound of horse hooves, and then there was the sound of messy footsteps.

This is a temporarily requisitioned farmyard. The layout of the house is very simple. In the middle of the main room is a wooden pillar that has been blackened by smoke. The stone foundation is potholed. A table, four elm wooden stools, and a stove in the corner, just as the fire pit was burning, making the inside of the room much warmer than the outside.

The entrance of the outer courtyard is only a dozen steps away from the main hall, even if there is a cough at the entrance, it can be heard in the room.Listening to the messy footsteps, Li Xiuning knew that something must be wrong, so she pointed at Ma Sanbao and said, "Sanbao, come here and play a few laps!"

Chen Ying got up and put on a big cloak and came outside the house. In the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Wude, the weather in Guannei Road was already extremely cold. Chen Ying and the others were in the carriage, with a heater and a kang, so naturally they didn't feel cold. Now they are in charge of driving outside. The wheels, or the accompanying soldiers, are in great pain.

Although Chen Ying was wearing cotton-padded clothes, trousers, and a cloak, he still clearly felt cold.Not long after, Guo Luo appeared in Chen Ying's line of sight. Although Guo Luo was wearing a locomotive hat and thick sheepskin gloves, his eyebrows and beard were covered with hoarfrost.

Seeing Guo Luo frozen like this, Chen Ying pointed to the wing room and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's talk after entering the room!"

Chen Ying asked Guo Luo and his guards to each have a cup of hot broth, and everyone gathered around the stove to warm up the fire. After a while, Guo Luo handed a letter to Chen Ying, saying: "My lord, I just passed the letter from Chang'an. Come message!"

Chen Ying opened the letter, but hadn't had time to read it yet.

Guo Luo smiled wryly and said, "I haven't heard from Chang'an for three days. I felt something was wrong, so I took people to investigate ahead. Sure enough, something happened!"

Originally according to the plan, Chen Ying was supposed to enter Yuanzhou and enter Guanzhong from Xiaoguan, but the sudden cold snap disrupted Chen Ying's plan.The frenzied cold current is still the master of the sky, and human beings still appear insignificant under the majesty and majesty of nature.

The thick locomotive hat, thick sheepskin gloves, and sheepskin sleeping bags could no longer resist the severe cold, and the snow was nearly three feet deep, reaching the belly of the horse. It became very difficult for the horses to walk in the snow, and the sky became dark It was foggy, and the air was full of semi-condensed water mist. These water mist were not evaporated by the sun, but condensed from the air due to the low temperature, floating lightly in mid-air to harm people.

Even though General Anxi stayed in the Western Regions for three years, he felt that the winter in Guanzhong was actually colder than that in the Western Regions. It was the same with no tents. When the stove was lit, the breath in the tents still turned into ice, and the flames jumped two feet high. Not much warmth.

The biggest problem now is that Chen Ying’s supply has given a problem. Originally, from Shule to Chang’an, Chen Ying was walking all the way, and there was a tiger in front of him who was in charge of arranging supplies nearby, so that Chen Ying could arrive from Shule with enough food and fuel. Changan, this is not a realistic thing at all.

However, this sudden cold snap not only accelerated the consumption of coal and charcoal under Chen Ying's command, but most importantly, due to the reduced speed, Chen Ying only traveled half of the planned distance at the same time and with the same supplies. In the middle of the 160 miles, there is an insurmountable barrier for Chen Ying's troops.

Guo Luo went on to say: "In Pingliang, our Tigers were attacked by unknown enemies from a secret supply point, and the six Tigers who stayed in Pingliang died of charcoal poisoning. However, I checked the scene and there was no sign of a fight. ..."

Chen Ying looked at the contents of the secret letter and said, "Could it be because of this letter?"

The content of the letter said that Li Jiancheng was almost killed by Guo Shaogang in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but after many days, Li Jiancheng also turned the corner. This news has actually lost its effectiveness.

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

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "I haven't come to Chang'an yet, someone has already targeted me, this is just a warning to the general guard, our people can be said to be the people who know charcoal best in this world, how could it be possible to fall into charcoal?" Poison? Since Lingzhou began to use coal, there has never been a person under the command of the Metropolitan Guard who died of charcoal poisoning, but this mistake happened at this time, do you believe there will be such a coincidence?"

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

"By the way, how many fierce tigers have been left behind in Pingliang, there should be more than six people who died in accidents!" Chen Ying was a little curious. Passing through the important town, it is known as "the first city of Chang'an in the west" in history.Since ancient times, Pingliang has been an important town to shield the Sanqin and control the Wuyuan. The upper reaches of the river are the "Golden Triangle" of the intersection geometric center of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, across Longshan (Guanshan), adjacent to Xianyang, Shaanxi to the east, Dingxi and Baiyin, Gansu to the west, Baoji, Shaanxi and Tianshui, Gansu to the south, and Guyuan, Ningxia, and Qingyang, Gansu to the north adjoining.

In such a strategic location, if Menghu Yicong only arranged six people, Chen Ying would suspect that Menghuyi had never been too negligent.

Guo Luo shook his head and said, "Naturally there are more than six people. A team is stationed in Pingliang Tiger Yicong. There are fifty core members and more than 100 peripheral members. Those who only know the master's schedule, except for the dead Out of the six people, only team leader Wu Qi."

Chen Ying thought for a while and said: "Bring Wu Qi over to see me. Even if he has no problem, he might have slipped his mouth unintentionally. I have to figure out who is going to do this to my people. This tone, I don't know. I can't swallow it!"

Fortunately, Guo Luo was vigilant and found out early.If they foolishly waited for Pingliang to transport supplies, as long as Chen Ying and others would have frozen to death.Even if they don't freeze to death, Chen Ying's subordinates will experience large-scale attrition due to this cold snap.This is a conspiracy arranged by human factors, but it was discovered earlier and there is still the possibility of remedy.

Guo Luo said: "I'll do it now, if I find something wrong with this person..."

Chen Ying said coldly: "Whoever is playing tricks in the back, just give him some flair. I don't care if he is the boss or the second!"

What Chen Ying was angry with was not that someone had dealt with him, but because Li Jiancheng was almost killed in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.Dare to do something in the prison of the Ministry of Justice is actually the biggest failure. Even if it is to kill people to silence the mouth, in fact, there are rules to follow these clues, as long as they are done, they will definitely leave traces.

No matter how generous Li Jiancheng was, he would definitely fight back when his life was threatened.

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, but Li Yuanji had not tortured Du Fengju, and Du Fengju had already confessed another secret.

This news sent chills down Li Jiancheng's spine.

Li Yuanji said, "What did you say?"

Du Fengju said calmly: "In May of the fifth year of Wude, Qiao Gongshan and Er Zhuhuan reported to Renzhi Palace that Yang Wenqian rebelled..."

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized that at that time, on the one hand, Li Yuan sent Yu Wenying as an envoy to the East Palace to summon Li Jiancheng to the palace, but secretly ordered Pei Ji to adjust the defense of the entire Chang'an. Li Yuan even had the idea of ​​abolishing the prince and replacing him with the king of Qin.

It's just that Li Shimin did it too hastily, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he killed Yang Wenqian, and returned to Chang'an with Yang Wengan's head.

This point made Li Yuan see a loophole, because the living Yang Wengan was far more convincing than the dead one. Yang Wengan's rebellion had become a fact. If he appointed Li Jiancheng alive, Li Jiancheng would definitely be abolished. Yang Wenqian is dead. Although a dead person cannot speak, he cannot tell lies.

Although Li Yuan suspected that there was something tricky in it, he didn't do anything else.

When Li Yuanji heard this, the veins on his neck bulged out of anger: "Son of a bitch, what are you talking about? Qiao Gongshan was instigated by the second child?"

Du Fengju nodded and said: "To be precise, that old dog Du Yan instigated this matter. Qiao Wensheng, the son of Qiao Gongshan, owed a gambling debt of [-] gold in Chang'an, and was caught by a gambling house. , Qiao Gongshan has no choice but to do this!"

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said: "This matter is old, His Majesty has no intention of pursuing it, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also does not want to pursue it. Tell me, what is going on in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Du Fengju said angrily: "It's a long story. My mother accidentally saw the secret letter Guo Shaogang wrote to that old dog Du Yan. My mother was shocked and gave the secret letter to me. I know it's important. Advise my mother to put the letter back where it came from, who knows that old dog will still kill my mother."

At this moment, there was a faint sound of rushing horseshoes. Li Jiancheng and the others pricked up their ears and listened for a while. After a while, they saw the guards on duty took several eunuchs to the door.A very unfamiliar eunuch, without waiting for the announcement, walked in directly and scanned the faces of everyone. When he saw Li Jiancheng, he bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness, His Majesty summoned His Royal Highness to the Hall of Wude to discuss matters. !"

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

The biggest advantage of Chen Ying's Datang Tongli Bank in this era is that it is convenient for bribery.

Normally, 35 strings would weigh [-] catties, or [-] tons of copper coins.Even the big trucks of later generations will be filled to the brim, but now they can be condensed on a piece of paper.

The little official glanced at it secretly, and immediately beamed with joy: "Five hundred guan!" He will never earn so much money in his life.

The little eunuch said: "So that His Highness the Crown Prince will know, there is news from Jianghuai Danyang that Fu Gongyou has rebelled!"
