The reason why Shen Yi feels this way is because...
Yang Jingzong, Yang Xiang, and the Zhao family of the Huaihe Navy are so honest!
Logically speaking, a prime minister who has controlled the court for many years should not only rise up to resist when facing changes in the situation in the court, but he should also leave some backup.
For example, while your words still count, you can place your own people in various confidential positions in the court in advance, or you can move the core figures of your faction to Zhongshu Province in advance, so that even if you retire, there will still be people there. Take over.
There are even some radical people who would think of changing the emperor!
After all, the little emperor is young and has no abilities. After replacing him, he still has two younger brothers who can support the two younger emperors and let them sit in that position and continue to be "mascots." ”.
But the strange thing is that Yang Jingzong did nothing.
The prime minister, who had held the country for ten years, seemed to have accepted the fact that he and his faction had "fallen" and was ready to retire and return home.
If this is the case, then the peaceful handover and peaceful transition of power between the two parties will be a good thing for Chen Guo. As for whether the emperor will re-enable people from Yang Xiang's group in the future, that is a matter of the future.
But if Yang Xiang is really willing to peacefully transfer the power in his hands, then the Yang family should have started to shrink his tail by now, or even one, two or three years in advance, or simply go back to his hometown as local landlords. .
But the Yang family did not shrink their tails.
Young Master Yang of the Yang family even came over and threatened Shen Yi under the "eyes" of the internal guards, and the matter had already been brought to the attention of the emperor.
This kind of "seeking death" completely shows no sign of accepting one's fate and peacefully transferring power.
In addition, Shen Yi heard Li Mu say that Northern Qi threatened to send troops south after the spring thaw, and a horrifying idea suddenly jumped into Shen Yi's mind!
That is... Northern Qi may not be bluffing this time!
If they really send their troops south, they don't need to attack Jiankang City, or even fight across the Huaihe River. As long as they win a few small battles against the Huaihe Navy on the banks of the Huaihe River, they can put great pressure on the Chen court!
This kind of pressure will be given to relatively radical officials like Zhao Changping and Zhang Jing!
More importantly, this kind of pressure will be put on the emperor and the queen mother!
Especially the relatively timid Queen Mother!
If the Huaihe Navy was defeated, then the Empress Dowager Sun's attitude would definitely be to seek peace from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and she might even put pressure on the emperor to invite the "Turtle Sect" in the court to take charge!
The more Shen Yi thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine!
Because this possibility is too great...
This matter is not only in the interest of Yang Jingzong's family, but more importantly, it is also in the interest of the Huaihe Navy, that is, the Zhao family!
At the same time, he could also achieve the strategic goal of Northern Qi to intimidate Southern Chen!
Both in the court and in the military, there was extremely ample room for maneuver. As long as Yang Jingzong and the Huaihe Navy worked together, they could even "manage" a defeat that the emperor would not be able to see any flaws in!
Shen Qilang sat there, the hair on the back of his hands stood up. He stared blankly into the distance and didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until Li Mu talked to him that he woke up from his meditation.
In comparison, Li Mu's attitude was much more optimistic. He smiled at Shen Yi and said: "Wars are common. Qi people will provoke and cause conflicts at every turn. If they have the ability to cross the river, I came here decades ago, so don’t worry, it’s just a small fuss at best.”
Li Mu comforted Shen Yi.
"They can't cross the Huaihe River."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Because there was nothing he could do about it for the time being, and he couldn't even talk about it.
However, if this matter is guessed by him, and Yang Jingzong and the Zhao family really join forces with Beiqi to "make a plan," then the country's situation will be very dangerous.
It's not that the Qi people will cross the Huaihe River.
After all, the Zhao family is from the Chen country, and Yang Jingzong is also from the Chen country. At most, they can reach a tacit understanding with the Northern Qi Dynasty to achieve common interests without going to the point of treason.
But once this thing is true, Chen Guo, a country, is basically rotten to the core. In this situation, it is wishful thinking to want to conduct the Northern Expedition.
And if you really want to do the Northern Expedition in the future, the first thing you have to get rid of is the Zhao family who owns the Huaihe Navy and has become the military leader! As well as selfish scholars like Yang Jingzong who only care about personal interests and completely ignore the interests of the country!
But these are Shen Yi's conjectures, and he cannot mention them to anyone, especially Li Mu.
The topic is too sensitive, and if you are not careful, you will get into big trouble.
Shen Yi drank several sips of tea before he managed to collect his thoughts and calm down.
"Now... I have to focus on my studies. Only after I enter the court can I think about other things..."
"but…"
Shen Yi thought of his "ambitious" Master Zhao and sighed in his heart.
If what Shen Yi guessed comes true, then Uncle Zhao's dream of becoming prime minister may have to stagnate for a while.
Next, Shen Yi and Li Shizi drank tea together and chatted about some gossip about their family, country and world. After more than half an hour, Shen Yi said goodbye to him and left this seemingly inconspicuous restaurant.
After getting off the restaurant, Shen Yi looked back at the restaurant and saw a gilded sign hanging on the teahouse.
Eighteen sub-buildings.
That is Li Lou.
The property of the Li family.
After going through a lot of things that night, Shen Yi no longer had the interest to stroll along the Qinhuai River. He took the two little maids and walked around twice, then went to Xu Fu's store to look at it for a while. After eating something, the three of them Just ready to go home.
Before going home, Shen Yi looked at the two little maids and asked: "Is there anything else that is missing at home? I should be able to buy it now."
The two little maids looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and then shook their heads at Shen Yi: "Sir, there is nothing left to buy. We can just go out and buy whatever is missing tomorrow."
Shen Yi nodded, stretched, and returned home with the two little maids. After arriving home, Shen Yi went back to the study to read some books. After the two little maids boiled hot water for him, he After taking a hot bath and changing into clean clothes, I returned to my room.
Because it was too late, Shen Yi didn't light a candle. He looked at the stove in the room and muttered in a low voice: "The two girls are getting lazy and lazy, and they don't even light the stove."
Anyone who has lit a stove knows that something like charcoal cannot be lit immediately. You need to find something to use as a primer before you can ignite the charcoal. It was too late now, and Shen Yi was too lazy to get it. He just smeared it and went there. Beside my bed, getting ready to go to bed.
Sudden…
He saw his quilt move.
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the bed and looked at the vaguely bulging quilt on his bed.
"Is it Qing'er or Ping'er?"
Master Shen frowned: "What are you doing?"
In fact, he really wanted to say at this moment, what kind of plane are you doing?
But these two little girls probably couldn’t understand it, so they had to simplify it.
Two exclamations came from the quilt, and after a moment, two little heads emerged from the quilt.
At this time, Shen Yi's eyes had adapted to the dark environment, and through the moonlight, he could see two rosy faces.
Qing'er lowered her head, blushed and said nothing.
Ping'er was bolder and lowered her head and said: "That young master..."
"I went out today and forgot to buy charcoal. I can't light the stove..."
She bit her lip lightly, buried her head on the mattress, and said in a low voice: "I...my sister and I were afraid that the young master would be cold, so..."
"I came here to warm the young master's mattress..."
