Chapter 156: The power of life and death is determined with one thought

Every fat man is a potential stock, and Chen Ying has a clear understanding of this sentence. Originally, Changsun Wuji was a big fat man. Every time he moved, the fat on his body would tremble like waves. But now, losing all his fat man, Changsun Wuji became like Changsun Wugui, with a pointed chin and big eyes, making him look very energetic.

At least Chen Ying felt that Changsun Wuji was a little handsome. It was true. If Changsun Wugui became ugly as Zhong Wuyan, I am afraid that Li Shimin would not have married Changsun Wugui as his wife.

Chen Ying raised a fire and roasted a lamb leg on the fire. As the gallows slowly rotated, the grease on the lamb leg was dripping into the fire, making a sizzling sound.

Two men who were so angry that they didn't peel each other's skin and bones sat calmly in front of the bonfire.

The flashing fire shone Changsun Wuji's face into golden yellow. At this time, Changsun Wuji was like Xianglin Sao in Lu Xun's writing, saying, "In the past, I could eat five kilograms of mutton or two fat chickens in one meal, and I had to add a bowl of rice... Now... it is enough!"

As he said that, Changsun Wuji threw a piece of dry milk as thick as a finger into his mouth and slowly started chewing it.

Not to mention, Changsun Wuji, who lost weight, gave people a kind of elegant and elegant young man. Chen Ying was fat in later generations. He had a deep understanding of the pain of losing weight. He knew how difficult it would be to reduce his fat by nearly 100 kilograms.

Changsun Wuji looked at Chen Ying and ignored him and still nagged: "I finally lost weight, and I felt that the feeling of losing weight was so wonderful. In the past, my butt was too big and I couldn't even fit my saddle. I usually traveled, so I could only ride a car, not a horse. After more than ten years, my riding skills have been abandoned. Now, my riding skills have been returned as before. Our Changsun family's family studies have not been lost!"

It was not until now that Chen Ying remembered that Changsun Wuji's father was Changsun Sheng, the master of killing two birds with one stone in history. Chen Ying curled his lips and smiled faintly: "Then do I want to congratulate you!"

"This is a blessing in disguise!" Changsun Wuji said lightly: "We could have become friends, work together to assist His Highness the King of Qin..."

Chen Ying's eyes became a little deeper. He sighed slowly and shook his head and said, "In the first year of Wude, when you suggest to His Highness the King of Qin that if you fail to recruit me, you will definitely get rid of me, it is no longer possible for us!"

Changsun Wuji laughed in silence: "So, I'm just forcing you into an enemy!"

"Can you say that"! Chen Ying nodded and said, "After I got married to Princess Pingyang, I have made plans and never interfere with it. The struggle between the King of Qin and His Highness of the Crown Prince, how do you fight and how you like, it actually has nothing to do with me..."

Changsun Wuji also agreed with Chen Ying's words. Chen Ying was Li Jiancheng's son-in-law and Li Shimin's third brother-in-law. No matter who successfully ascended the throne, he would not lose to Chen Ying, so Chen Ying was invincible.

At this moment, Chen Ying stood up and took a knife to cut a piece of meat from the lamb leg.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment and took the roasted lamb, but did not eat it.

Chen Ying said: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous!"

"No, I really can't eat it!" Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "I have quit eating meat..."

Chen Ying ignored Chang Sun Wuji. It is normal for him to be wary.

While eating mutton, Chen Ying murmured: "Actually, I don't have any great ambitions. I don't want to build a great cause or leave a name in history. I just want to have a big manor, guard the warm kang of my wife and children, and live my own life behind closed doors. With my ability, within ten years, I will definitely be the richest family in the Tang Dynasty!"

Changsun Wuji nodded. He admitted that Chen Ying did not boast about himself. Chen Ying was the first to invent the down jacket, which soon became popular in Chang'an and was widely circulated. The down jacket alone brought Chen Ying no less than 100,000 yuan in profits. Of course, in addition to down jackets, there were also steel, salt, coal balls, double-sided iron plows, new agricultural tools, four-wheeled carriages and bearings. Every item Chen Ying made was a big deal of gold every day.

In fact, in less than ten years, Changsun Wuji watched Chen Ying go from a poor and poor person to a wealthy person of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Changsun Wuji, who controls the Hundred Riders, knows more clearly that Chen Ying has provided a full million-dollar money in the East Palace over the years, which allows the expenses of the East Palace to operate effectively.

Chen Ying stopped eating meat, put down the roasted lamb in his hand, then wiped his hands, and looked down at Changsun Wuji sitting condescendingly.

The aura of the superiors on Chen Ying was getting stronger and stronger, especially when he walked to Changsun Wuji, which put him in great pressure.

Changsun Wuji stood up timidly and subconsciously retreated to the back.

Chen Ying moved forward step by step, and Changsun Wuji stepped back step by step.

Until, when Changsun Wuji retreated to the point of retreating, Chen Ying looked at Changsun Wuji's eyes and said, "Tell you a truth. In the future, you cannot refuse other people's kindness and kindness. The most terrifying thing in this world is not a cruel enemy, but a simple person into his own enemy."

"Are you a threat?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Chen Ying curled his lips and said, "No, of course, you can think so too. In the past, I planned to stay out of the matter, but from the moment Princess Pingyang was stabbed, the nature changed. Since you treat me as your enemy, I will definitely be very competent!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji felt this bitter taste. If God gave him a chance, he would definitely choose to start over and directly save Princess Pingyang from encountering a case. However, directly concocting the Yuwen Zhaoyi case was actually more significant.

Unfortunately, there is never any regret medicine in this world!

The next morning, Chen Yingsheng's ceremony hall summoned all officials and civil and military officials at all levels from the Western Regions Protectorate to discuss matters. The Western Protectorate in Gaochang City was not the Royal Palace of Gaochang, but the former Prime Minister's Mansion of Gaochang State. The entire Protectorate was repaired and occupied an area of ​​more than one-quarter of Gaochang City.

The governor of the 19 prefectures under the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate, 104 county magistrates, the chief of the Western Regions Protectorate, Sima Yi's military affairs, record, record, record, and history, Gongcai's military affairs, Cangcai's military affairs, Hucai's military affairs, military affairs, and other subordinates were all present.

When the Western Regions Protectorate Chief Changsun Wuji and everyone went to the Great Protectorate Hall, hundreds of armored soldiers stood on both sides of the corridor in front of the Great Protectorate Hall. The crossbows in the hands of these armored soldiers had already opened, and the terrifyingly sharp arrowheads had already been embedded in the arrow groove. They pointed straight at the officials passing through the corridor. A cold and bloodthirsty aura rushed towards their faces, which shocked the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate changed their faces.

Changsun Wuji looked at this scene and smiled faintly, "What's the point of putting off his power!"

However, at this moment, Changsun Wuji's face changed drastically. The ground was shaking slightly. Looking along with the sound, hundreds of heavy-armed modao soldiers rushed over from the square in the front yard and stood on both sides of the avenue in the middle of the square.

Around the powerful crossbow, the armored soldiers were majestic and murderous intent soared into the sky. Faced with such a situation, the timid official couldn't help but break his heart and almost didn't urinate.

Especially when Cangcao and military officer Lu Zhikun only felt a heat flowing out of his lower abdomen... he was really scared!

Fortunately, Lu Zhikun was wearing a generous official uniform that could cover his lower body, but outsiders could not see it, so he could finally avoid embarrassment!

Chen Ying was wearing a bright silver armor, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and looked at the officials. Chen Ying said straight to the point: "During the Qin Dynasty, the Zheng Kingdom Canal was built in Guanzhong, and the Jing River was diverted into the Luo River. He irrigated three to four million mu of fertile land along the way, making Guanzhong a granary for the world and prosperous the world. This is also the economic basis for Qin to occupy Guanzhong and rule the world, and the two Han dynasties established a dynasty for Guanzhong. The weather in Xizhou Road was originally dry and rainy, and the 3.5 million mu of land were cultivated, which were all inferior fields. The mu could not collect Shiwu. There was no shortage of rivers in the Western Regions, and 500 rivers in the territory were all small and small.

There are more than 70, the larger ones include the Tarim River, the Ili River, the Ertse River, the Manas River, the Ulungu River, the Kaidu River, etc. Now you are all taking up your posts and have to perform your duties, lead the people under your rule to open ditches, divert river water, and form an irrigation network. Of course, it will not take a year or two to succeed in building ditches, but at least three years to see the results. As a herdsman official, you will benefit the people! If you see whoever you occupy the pit will not shit, the Protector will sell him to the fields and fertilize the fields!"

The officials listened to Chen Ying's words and did not dare to speak out.

Chen Ying looked at Changsun Wuji with bright eyes, hoping that he could bring some confidants to the stage drama with Chen Ying, so that Chen Ying could also kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Obviously, Changsun Wuji did not finish speaking.

Chen Ying looked at the officials and continued, "No matter who you are, you are the officials of the Tang Dynasty. If you eat the salary of the Tang Dynasty, you will share the worries of the king and father. If you let the Dadu Mansion look at your butts crooked, I will not mind lending anyone's head to serve as a warning!"

The officials shouted: "Dare you not obeying your order!"

Whether Changsun Wuji had the imperial edict to check and balance Chen Ying or not, Chen Ying would not let him become bigger. Chen Ying finally shouted: "I am the Great Protector of the Army and ruled the army with law, and also ruled the Western Regions with military force. You will go back and take a look! Don't betray me the Great Protector of the Army, otherwise it would be not good for white-haired people to send black-haired people!"

In the Western Regions, dry land can be called fertile land if it produces stone per mu. Once the ditches are built, five or six million mu of dry land can be converted into high-yield paddy fields. This is of great significance to strengthening the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.

When China was fighting against nomadic peoples, the north was mostly a bitter and cold place, and the south was mostly rich. Northern military horses fought from north to south, and could rely on plunder in the war zone to fight to support the war, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. Southern military horses could not raise enough food and grass from the war zone, so they could only spend a lot of effort to transport them from the rear, and the more they fought, the poorer they became. When the Central Plains regime was strong, there was no shortage of manpower and material resources, which could support large-scale wars, so they could suppress the rise of the northern forces.

Once the end of the world is happening, the foundation of the Central Plains dynasty will be cut off and will only be passively beaten!

Chen Ying wanted to use his limited time in the Western Regions to build the Western Regions into a good warehouse.

The Chinese nation is a hard-working nation. They will never give up any piece of land that can be cultivated. When thousands of miles of fertile land were formed in the Western Regions, monarchs of all dynasties would not sit idly by and watch the northwest be occupied by the alien Hu!

Of course, Chen Ying, who stood on the shoulders of the historical giant, saw even further. He knew that even during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had never had more than 40,000 troops in the Western Regions. It was not that they didn’t want to be too many, but that they could not afford it at all. Therefore, after the defeat of the Battle of Dashitalas, the four towns of Anxi were also lost soon.

If the Tang Dynasty could form a rich material base similar to the Central Plains in the Western Regions, there would never be any possibility of being lost here.

The Chinese have always dared to fight for their territory!

When the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate Office first came to take office, they were somewhat like being at the same time. They took advantage of the battle between the prince and the Qin King, and both sides wanted to benefit.

However, after they arrived in the Western Regions, they realized that Chen Ying did not play according to common sense.

As the second-rank guardian of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, Zuo Pushe, the Minister of the Daotai of Xizhou, Chen Ying had the right to deal with all officials below the fourth-rank of Xizhou Prefecture, including promotion and disposal. Except for Changsun Wuji, the chief minister and Wei Wuji, the Sima of Wei Wuji, the power of life and death of other officials was decided by Chen Ying!

Why do they dare to face Chen Ying?

The answer is yes, I really dare not! Chen Ying is following military law, his head is not a leek, and he will never grow again after falling off!

The officials touched the cold sweat on their backs and quickly made the most correct judgment!
Chapter completed!
