Chapter 152 I will take the lead in my home court

Li Shimin has always been a mountain in Chen Ying's heart. Although he killed his brother and imprisoned his father, he ruled the world with culture, humbly accepted advice, practiced rigorous economies, and encouraged the people to rest and recuperate, and the country was prosperous and the people were safe, creating the famous Zhenguan rule in Chinese history. He expanded the territory outside, conquered the Eastern Turks and Xueyantuo, conquered Gaochang, Kucha, and Tuyuhun, severely damaged Goguryeo, and established the four towns of Anxi. All ethnic groups lived in harmony and were respected as "Tiankhan" by people of all ethnic groups.

Chen Ying was afraid of being an enemy of Li Shimin, and he has always been separated from him, because in his understanding, Fang Xuanling was wise and had an unparalleled plan, and Du Ruhui made plans and strategists, which could make great contributions to the defeat of the Eastern Turks at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and lay the foundation for the Zhenguan rule.

What's more, Qin Qiong's dawn, Cheng Zhijie's courage, Li Shimin's civil officials were like clouds and good generals were like rain, and Chen Ying could not resist.

However, Chen Ying did not want to endure it at this time. In history, because Li Xiuning died in the fourth year of Wude, he was not stuck between the prince and Li Shimin to stop their struggle. But now, Li Xiuning disrupted Li Shimin's deployment very roughly, and even cleverly transferred Changsun Wuji from Li Shimin. In Li Xiuning's view, this is a solution to the dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. In fact, from Chen Ying's perspective, this is just adding fuel to the fire.

Although Changsun Wuji could not compete with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and was not as good as Qin Cheng, Li Shimin praised him as the number one hero of Lingyan Pavilion and appointed him as the third secretary of Kaifu Yitongsan. This was the peak of civil officials. What's more, in history, Changsun Wuji also became the crown prince's Taishi, Taiwei, the chief inspector of the Central Secretariat, presided over the Shangshu Province, and the Tongzhongmen Pingzhang Affairs.

This is equivalent to handing over all the three provinces of Shangshu, Zhongshu and the ministry of the Zhenguan Dynasty to Changsun Wuji. This trust is probably rare in history.

However, Li Xiuning transferred Changsun Wuji from Li Shimin, and Chen Ying absolutely did not believe that Li Shimin would swallow this. Of course, with Changsun Wuji's temperament of revenge, he would probably have attacks on Princess Pingyang one after another.

A strategist who even the prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji dared to meet with weapons. He not only killed Prince Yin Li Jiancheng, Prince Yin Li Yuanji, Prince Qi Li Chengqian, Prince Wei Li Tai, Prince Qi Li You, Prince Wu Li Ke, and Prince Han Li Yuanchang. Of course, among Li Shimin's fourteen sons, no one else had a good ending except Li Zhi and the fourteenth son Prince Zhao Li Fu. It has to be said that the poison of Changsun Wuji is rare in ancient times. A princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang will definitely not be merciful.

Moreover, political struggles are cruel and bloody. Chen Ying has no reason to place his safety on the mercy of the enemy.

However, Chen Ying's current position is not allowed to return to Beijing without Li Yuan's imperial edict. Chen Ying wrote a letter to Li Yuan, hoping to return to Beijing to visit his son, and hoped that Li Yuan could be approved.

At the same time, Chen Ying is also in the investigation of the movements of the reconnaissance general Sun Wuji.

Chen Ying would rather Li Shimin hate him to death than kill Changsun Wuji.

Chen Ying issued six orders in a row, first ordering the specific route of the secret reconnaissance chief Sun Wuji from Chang'an to Xizhou, and at the same time ordering Asunasmo to select dead soldiers from the vassal barracks. Chen Ying would definitely not use his personal guards to execute the orders, but needed to use the surrendered Turks.

Even if the matter fails, Chen Ying himself cannot be found.

At the same time, the camp secretly transferred a batch of hot tincture oil out of the warehouse, and burned it with hot tincture oil and couldn't even see a piece of bone.

Just when Chen Ying aimed at Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji quietly left his brigade with two confidant followers.

The court appointed Changsun Wuji as the chief of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and also equipped him with thirteen affairs including warehouse, sect, civil, etc., and the guards, a group of more than 500 people.

Changsun Wuji discovered that Lu Zhikun, the Cangcao Army appointed by the imperial court, looked quite similar to him, with white face and fat body, the same Guanzhong accent, and a little dressed up. He was not a very familiar person and could not tell him at all.

So Changsun Wuji put Lu Zhikun, the fat man on his bus, and all the food and accommodation were solved in his four-wheeled carriage. Except for the occasional people who could take a look at him from a distance, but looking at him in a red official uniform and wearing a soft national head, it was impossible to find out that Changsun Wuji was actually a shiba product!

After leaving the brigade, Changsun Wuji bribed a team of Lite merchants and used a price of 500 gold to turn the small caravan, along with the servants and even the shopkeepers of the caravan, into Changsun Wuji's servants. This small caravan with only twenty-five loads, carrying a load of silk, tea and more than a dozen sets of down jackets, staggered onto the Silk Road.

The yellow sand rolls, and wherever you pass, it is desolate. On the road to travel west, the biggest difficulty is not water shortage or fatigue, but loneliness.

For more than ten days, Changsun Huaian, who was following Changsun Wuji, said in confusion: "Mr. Lang, why are you doing this?"

Changsun Wuji's small eyes were like poisonous snakes, flashing with a terrifying brilliance. He said lightly: "You don't understand now, right? Follow the brigade to the Western Regions, do you think I can still have life?"

"It's not right? More than 500 people, even if he has the courage to kill them all?" Changsun Huaian thought that Chen Ying would not do this.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "You don't know Chen Ying. If you understand him, you will find his horror. There seems to be nothing in the world that he dares not do. The Zheng family in Xingyang is a family with good reputation in the world. Who ordinary people dare to disrespect the Zheng family?"

Changsun Huaian was silent when he heard this. Chen Ying robbed Zheng's wife for his brother Luo Shixin and fought with the lawsuit in front of the emperor. Chen Ying bit her mouth and refused to admit it. He opened his eyes and told lies. He had never seen Cui Yingying. Now Cui Yingying's daughter is three months older than Chen Ying's son.

Ordinary people don’t know, but Changsun Wuji knew it. In order to calm the anger of Zheng and Cui, Chen Ying also paid a lot of money, including the agency rights of down jackets in Shandong, as well as the agency rights of double-sided iron plows, Henan, Hedong, Shandong, and Hebei.

You should know that the benefits brought to Cui and Zheng's family by just the down jacket and double-sided iron plow are less than 300,000 yuan a year. After getting the benefits they want, Cui and Zheng have nothing to say, and they even want to send a few more women in their clan.

How much can you do with a profit of 300,000 yuan per year? Standing at Changsun Wuji is very clear. If the Qin Palace could get this profit, there would be a lot of things you could do. But Chen Ying was wrong for Luo Shixin.

In Chen Ying's eyes, things that can be solved with money are not a problem at all. As for Cui Yingying, an abandoned wife, even if she is made of gold, it is not worth 300,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan a year. But Chen Ying did it, and it did it very thoroughly.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that Chen Ying has money, and having money can make the devil push the mill. As long as Chen Ying wants his own head, the entire Chang'an and even the entire world will move like a shark smelling blood.

As for how many people died, is it important?

Changsun Wuji did not dare to put his life on Chen Ying's mercifulness, so for his own life, he decided to leave the brigade. As long as he successfully arrived in front of Chen Ying, even if Chen Ying was unwilling to give up, he could only greet him with a smile.

There is a saying that goes, "Be smart". Changsun Wuji's brigade is protected by a fully armed archery infantry regiment. This archery infantry regiment has 300 bows, 100 crossbows, and a horizontal knife. Without using the elite under Chen Ying, in the Western Regions, it is necessary to rely on scattered tribal warriors and bandits. Without a thousand or more people, they cannot be gnawed.

On the unblocked Hexi Road, if you want to ambush such an army and use one or two thousand troops, you will never be silent. What's more, Chen Ying is not a bloodthirsty person who is easy to kill. He really doesn't want to spend more than 500 lives with Changsun Wuji alone.

If it was in Liangzhou or Xizhou Road, if something happened to the Changshi's entourage, Chen Ying would not be able to escape.

Chen Ying's original plan was to give Changsun Wuji a chronic poison in the team at any time, so that Changsun Wuji would be poisoned and die slowly, so that he could not know anything.

However, Changsun Wuji left the brigade alone and sneaked into a businessman team, undoubtedly helping Chen Ying a lot.

After a long journey of more than 1,800 miles, the caravan finally arrived at Yiwu City, the easternmost part of the Western Regions Prefecture. Since Yiwu City is the most important supply location on the business road, since the long and boring business road has reached the world, these caravans' first reaction is to eat and drink, and of course they can solve their physiological needs.

After entering Yiwu City, Changsun Wuji's caravan was immediately surrounded by the crowd. The Hu people with red hair and green eyes flew to sell fruits and chickens and ducks to Changsun Wuji's caravan, which made the Tang people who had already run a thousand miles on the wasteland almost shed tears. At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to the Tang Dynasty.

Changsun Wuji entered Yiwu City and quickly found a good hotel and soaked in a comfortable bath. However, Changsun Wuji suddenly showed his strength.

The profits of long-distance travelers are very considerable, but the expenses of these supply points along the way are not low. Hubiao, which costs one cent per cent in Chang'an, costs three cents in Yiwu City, and one spends ten cents in Chang'an, can enjoy bathing, rubbing back and massage services, but in Yiwu City, costs one hundred cents.

Usually when the caravan enters Yiwu City, they will only eat some hot food at the stalls, replenish water and dry food, and then go on the road. However, Changsun Wuji not only went to soak in expensive soup pools, but also called a Kucha troupe to sing and dance alone to cheer him up.

Changsun Wuji's various incompatible behaviors soon entered the sight of those who were interested.

Mahim, the former leader of the caravan, was invited by two men in black to the alley. Before he could even get punished, Mahim poured out in all his heart.

Mahim smiled and said, "It's not a rich man from where he came from. He actually spent 500 gold to buy my caravan. Oh my God, I can't earn less than 500 gold even in three years, so I'm naturally willing to sell myself!"

The man in black asked, "Where is this man's origin?"

Mahim said: "I don't know very well, I vaguely seem to hear what they say about the eldest grandson..."

The two men in black touched their eyes in the air and pushed Mahim and said, "Take us to see this rich man!"

After the man in black secretly observed, the unprepared Changsun Wuji leaked his whereabouts in Yiwu City.

The man in black nodded and said, "You can be sure, it's the target!"

Another man in black said, "Then you continue to follow them, and I will send a letter to the eagle and tell the Lord!"

The man in black said, "No need to tell the Lord, the Lord only needs the targeted head, and many people can do this!"

"Oh!" The man in black smiled and said, "There are many Tubo wandering warriors coming to Yiwu City. It is said that his leader was killed by a man named the King of Red. No one supports them. They are now working as helpers in Yiwu City, but everyone doesn't like to use such stupid Tubo people. Now this group of Tubo people is living a miserable life, so we should help them!"

The matter was very simple. These wandering Tubo people heard a secret news that Mahim's caravan carried a large amount of silk and it was said that there were down jackets. Some people bought this kind of thing at a high price.

People’s eyes are black, but gold is yellow!

A spontaneous team began to appear, and Changsun Wuji, a smart man, had not yet noticed the danger coming!

Changsun Wuji's ignorance is that the Western Regions are Chen Ying's home court.
