Chapter 164: Dealing with the Curse

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have to take command of the Xu Mansion again and discuss countermeasures. In the Yanying Palace, the current Tang Emperor is recruiting his courtiers.

Where is Yeonyeongjeon? In the west of the Zichen Palace. Zichen Palace, this is where the big ceremonies, the big court meeting, and the foreign envoys are called.

Here in Yanying Palace, you can discuss political affairs more casually, and the efficiency is relatively high. There are many people at the court, and the etiquette is also very strict. Yanying Hall can be more casual.

Originally, it was Miao Jinqing, the old prime minister of Suzong Youli, who asked right in Yanying Palace. During the Daizong period, it became a place for the Tang Emperor to gather courtiers for discussion, and it was known as Yanying in history.

Fewer people does not mean that there is nothing to discuss, but because there are fewer people, there is not too much nonsense, there is not too much etiquette to pay attention to, and the efficiency is relatively high. Now there are several people here, all of whom are appointed by the current emperor as prime ministers, and what results they discuss represent the decision of the Tang court.

'Sage, the minister thinks that it is time to crusade, Xuzhou is the fundamental place, and there is no room for loss. Li Deyu, the prime minister who was most respected by the emperor of the dynasty, should speak first, he has always been a person who has the courage to recognize the people.

However, Zhaoyi got Liu Zhi, and the anti-intention has sprouted, and at the time of the crusade, if he uses troops against the Xu Mansion, he may repeat the mistakes of Emperor Xiaowen. Choi Hyun, the new appointee, who is also a salt and iron transshipment envoy, said.

Emperor Xiaowen is Dezong. is also an emperor who aspires to recover the three towns of Hebei, but... In order to raise military expenses, he was worried about his gray hair, and opened a lot of new taxes, like some kind of tax and the like, but the result was that he was angry and resentful, and he couldn't get any results.

'To fight, the Xu Mansion is the transit place of Caoyun, if the Silver Sword Army is allowed to stand on its own, the court will be in danger. Li Rangyi, the Chinese scholar and Tongping Zhangshi, said. There were so many prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty...

It's better to send a new envoy to the Xu Mansion to take office, anyway, it is not the first time that the Xu Mansion has chased the commander. In general, the Xu Mansion is still under the control of the imperial court, and the throat of Sizhou has been firmly grasped by the imperial court. Shangshu's right servant shot the door, and the waiter Li Shen said

This Li Shen, if you don't know, I read a poem about him, you must know, I don't know if I have to go back to middle school, that poem is 'hoeing the day of the afternoon, sweat drops of the soil, who knows that the plate is full of food, and the grains are hard.'" This poem that has been sung through the ages is his masterpiece.

"No, if it continues to be tolerated like this, it is tantamount to conniving at the repeated success of the Silver Sword Army, which will increase its arrogance, and is now working hard to pacify Zhaoyi, in case the war starts, the Silver Sword Army will take the opportunity to chase the commander again." Don't forget the old story of Wang Zhixing. Another prime minister, Cui Heng, said.

Cui Heng and Cui Hyun are not related, although the surname is Cui, and the two are also moderate, but in fact, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Cui Heng is very prestigious, and he is famous for his second room. And what about Choi Hyun? Bozhou people, the family background is actually not bad, and he is also a big family, from his father to his father, he has been a big official, he is most famous, he is the prime minister, and his son will be in the future.

However, don't look at the difference between Boling and Bozhou, both of them are prominent families, but the two are not compatible. Boling is in today's Hebei, and Bozhou is in today's Shandong Liaocheng. Soon, Cui Hyun will join Cui Heng and let him be demoted all the way to Enzhou as Sima.

After several people finished speaking, they quarreled one after another, or expressed their opinions. Generally speaking, it is divided into moderation factions, first relieved and then talked, because it is about to deal with Zhaoyi and Liu Zhi, so it is advocated to ease Xuzhou first.

The main attack faction also has this idea, because they are about to deal with Zhaoyi and Liu Zhi, so they have to pull out the nail of the Silver Sword Army first, otherwise when the war is tight, if the Silver Sword Army has any back-and-forth, for example, if they come to the commander again, or even stand on their own, the route of the Grand Canal will be dangerous.

During the Dezong period, the imperial court had already suffered once. Later, Wang Zhixing also calculated that the court did not dare to fight again, so he dared to stand on his own. If it is appeased now, when it really starts to crusade against Zhaoyi and the Silver Sword Army rebels, the imperial court will really be doomed.

When Li Yan is also in a dilemma today, this damn Shao Ze is the right time to pick it, and he plans to learn from it. Besides, the Xuzhou Army still has such a good example in front.

To deal with the Silver Sword Army, Li Chen wanted to find a way, how could the princes in the court have no idea. Someone also suggested that he should deal with the Silver Sword Army first, vigorously entrap him, and even let the Silver Sword Army go out of the town and participate in the crusade, so that he would not have to worry about colluding with the Zhaoyi Army. After cleaning up Liu Zhen, he turned around and cleaned up the Silver Sword Army.

Maybe that's a good idea? Li Yan thought. As long as the Silver Knife Army is willing to go out of the town like Wang Zhixing's era, leave them to guard the town, and participate in the crusade to weaken them, and when Liu Zhi is cleaned up, it will be no problem to see whether to continue to maintain the status quo or clean it up with a backhand.

The minister objected, this proposal seems to have the best of both worlds, but as far as Tian Mu said, Shao Ze has a gloomy temperament, can endure what others can't bear, and has no sense of kindness, but he is a man without a king and a father, and he has the calculation of driving tigers and wolves, can't people see it. Li Deyu objected, "Besides, Wang Zhixing's example is in the past, even if he goes out of town, I'm afraid he will deal with it." Wang Zhixing is a good comrade, although he has been a corpse for many years, his example has always been unforgettable.

Seeing that it was noon, and it was time to eat again, everyone thought that today's discussion would end without a problem, and the emperor was about to say that he had eaten at noon and would discuss it together, when an urgent report came.

'Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that we need not be in a hurry. After receiving the post report, Li Yan was in a good mood, he showed this urgent report to the others, and the others were also smiling, "Why didn't the fire burn these soldiers and slaves." ’

This urgent report said that because Shao Ze, the commander of the Silver Knife Army, had to take advantage of it, a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, unbearable, burned down his industry, and even the Seven Armies of the Silver Knife who were feasting inside, also suffered heavy casualties, and lost more than half. ’

'The minister thought that he could slow down the silver sword army. Originally, Li Deyu was the main force to fight, but now he is not very good, so that he just advocated relaxation, but now he has changed his course, and Li Shen almost can't turn around when he advocates war, and Li Yan is also interested.

What do you mean by that? ''Saint, the crusade against Zelu is not able to move on the string, and the Silver Sword Army has been hit hard by this, and it is just a disease of ringworm. Just send a capable minister as an envoy, drag it until the end of the Zelu war, and clean it up. ’

Saying that he is not worried about a war on two fronts is a lie, Li Deyu never said it, but he planned to grit his teeth and get through. And in Choi Hyun's position, if you Li Deyu grit your teeth, I will be fatal, who let him concurrently serve as a salt and iron transport envoy. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, this position was equivalent to the Minister of Finance. In theory, the Minister of Finance, the Household Ministry Shangshu has long lost its original function.

And now, since the Silver Sword Army has been hit hard, Li Deyu suggested putting them aside first, waiting for Liu Zhi to be cleaned up, and then depending on the situation, the Silver Sword Army will be cleaned up. As for what is revived, or what is not dead in the thief's heart, the probability is too low.

The Silver Knife Army has been hit hard and unpopular and wants to recover? It's hard. At best, it was only a small army of 2,000 people, and they didn't know where to get the confidence, so they had been unruly for a long time.

'Then, who will the newly appointed envoy of the Wuning Army be sent? The emperor asked the question of the candidate, which means that this policy was determined. 'How about pie Li Kuo. ', suggested. Li Kuo, a thirteen-year jinshi in Yuanhe, his father was a prime minister, and he was also a scholarly family. Li Yan saw that no one intended to build it, so he decided so.

The imperial court made such a decision, and Li Chen, who was far away in Xuzhou and was ready to flee for his life, didn't know it, but it was nothing. He didn't have a single fire to burn them all to death, except for a trace of unbearable heart.

On the other hand, he knew that the Silver Sword Army that had been hit hard would definitely make Shao Ze anxious, he had to deal with the resistance of the local gentry in Pengcheng, and he also had to face pressure from the imperial court.

In fact, many high-level people, who are not dead, will Li Chen feel afraid from his heart, and escape from such a fire, in addition to escaping from the joy of ascending to heaven, and full of anger, in the later years, in the middle of the night, it is all nightmares, often wake up, unable to sleep.

Especially after a few days, many people escaped and died of serious injuries, which made them even more frightened. If someone is caught, or dead, it's okay to say. But Li Chen has disappeared without a trace now, and many people are afraid that Li Chen will have a more brutal means of revenge.

Even, in their hearts, some people no longer resent Li Chen, and anyone who has a hard move will be resentful. So they also centrifuged Shao Ze, what do you have nothing to do to provoke such a ruthless person.

Li Chen expected all of this, so Li Chen couldn't bear it on the one hand, and on the other hand, he knew that the Silver Sword Army that had suffered heavy losses was not capable of chasing and killing him. The reaction of the imperial court alone was enough for Shao Ze to deal with it.

Li Chen went out of the city under the cover of Ma Xiaoliu, and soon found Xiao Liang, and saw Xiao Liang Li Chen's heart was half relieved.

You can rest assured, you are not afraid that he will sell you. Xiao Liang had obviously seen Ma Xiaoliu a long time ago, and was surprised how Li Chen could find an outsider to cover him.

Actually, I just helped his family. The Ma family will cover Li Chen like this, mainly because Li Chen has done their whole family a great favor. If you do this business, you will inevitably get sick, and you will get along with some filth all day long, and it is strange if you don't get sick.

When the Ma family came to Bliss to collect the night incense, Li Chen noticed that some people in the Ma family had a big belly and a thin body, which was a typical parasitic disease. ’

This is a curse, and we asked the medical worker, and he said that our family made a fortune from this, and we would suffer from this. He is not the sixth child, he is his father, it can be seen that the Ma family has a large population.

But this large population is also a trouble, many people suffer from this, and they have asked the medical worker, and after the medical worker's spell is invalid, their family can only endure it like this. Why did the soldier see Ma Xiaoliu was very surprised, because his family decided not to let Ma Xiaoliu continue this business.

The male members of the family can no longer be cursed by this. I hope that Ma Xiaoliu will be able to change careers in the future, their Ma family, they have earned enough from this. Therefore, life or death will not let Ma Xiaoliu make a living.

What did Li Chen do? It's nothing, he just knows how to treat this parasite, he said to Ma Daliu, 'Eat arsenic, eat the maximum amount at a time, if you don't die, you will know why you have this disease, this is not a curse.' ’

The medical workers of the Tang Dynasty hurt people, Li Chen secretly scolded, and in the future, he scolded the doctors and did not scold the Mongolian doctors, just scold the medical workers of the Tang Dynasty, parasitic diseases existed hundreds of years ago, and there were also treatments, but as a result, these third-rate medical workers made him a curse and harmed others.

However, Li Chen warned responsibly, it is best to find a medical worker to prescribe medicine and eat the maximum amount, otherwise if the disease is not cured once, the prescription will not work next time. Ma Daliu went back and ate how much arsenic he ate ruthlessly, Li Chen didn't know, in short, he didn't eat to death, the next time he saw him, he was already fine, although he was still skinny, but at least the big belly was gone.

Li Chen suddenly helped the family to relieve the pressure that had accumulated on the family's head for decades, and Master Ma spoke, and Li Chen will be the great benefactor of the Ma family in the future. Although he didn't say how to repay him, Li Chen knew that since he said so, even if it was a rebellion, he would probably follow him.

Li Chen and Xiao Liang didn't go into such detail, only said that he had a great favor to the Ma family. Then he was so happy that after meeting Yang Er, who had already lurked out of the city, he couldn't find Xiaohong left and right, and seeing Yang Er's ugly face, Li Chen fainted. (To be continued.) )
