Xiao Jingyao said it right. He was full of ambitions and passed the exam, but was valued by the emperor. He was very energetic!
He thought he would devote himself to his work, but after experiencing these changes, he was already tired of the open and secret struggles of various forces...
I am also increasingly disappointed with what the emperor did!
First there was the Li family of Zhao County, and then the Lu family of Fanyang. He was not unaware that these two gentry were heroes who helped the emperor establish Dayin together. When the emperor dealt with the Li family of Zhao County, he also made some slight remarks. Now the Lu family of Fanyang is framed The prince's affairs were exposed, which involved the framing of Duke Chen back then, and he could see more and more clearly!
Perhaps the emperor did not care about the ups and downs of these gentry clans, and just wanted to take all the mixed forces in his hands, but the fight between these forces was also the culprit of killing the young and promising Prince!
He didn't know if the emperor had regretted it, but what he wanted to see was the Kaiyuan period of a dynasty, rather than the various factions of the dynasty fighting openly and secretly, which ultimately caused the people to live in poverty!
Seeing Chen Rui's brows frowning tighter and tighter, Xiao Jingyao said again: "Northern Wei and Dayin have temporarily formed an alliance because of their marriage, no one can guarantee that the relationship between the two countries will remain stable. The Northern Wei was originally eyeing Dayin, Princess Yong'an, who married into the Northern Wei Dynasty, was the daughter of Concubine Lu. If she felt resentful when she heard that the Lu family in Fanyang was killed by the whole family, she would inevitably not provoke war between the two countries... So at the moment, the stability of the court is the most important, and Brother Chen, you are also an indispensable minister in our dynasty!”
Xiao Jingyao said it very earnestly, and Chen Rui was also moved to hear it.
Chen Rui looked at the wine glass in front of him for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Mr. Chen thanked the prince for his love, but now the emperor no longer trusted Chen, and agreed to Chen resign and return home. Even if Chen If you want to contribute your strength to me, you may not be able to do it..."
Chen Rui's words have already shown his attitude, and this is exactly what Xiao Jingyao wants!
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I will write a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to let Brother Chen stay in the imperial capital and serve the country..." Xiao Jingyao picked up the wine glass and smiled and said, "The emperor is suspicious by nature. Brother Chen may not be able to restore his post, But I should do my best to plead for Brother Chen!”
Chen Rui was already very moved when he heard this, and quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, the prince, for worrying about Chen's affairs! The emperor is like a brother like the prince, which is like a tiger!"
When Xiao Jingyao heard his words, he just shook his head and smiled faintly, and a complex light flashed through his eyes.
Seeing his expression dim, Chen Rui felt a little worried and said hesitantly: "The prince seems unhappy with such a look..."
"The emperor had asked the prince to serve as the governor. After removing the Lu family of Fanyang, he had already taken back some of the power in the prince's hands!" Wei Zijin spoke at the right time, turning a blind eye to Chen Rui's surprise expression, and sneered coldly: "Even if the prince is the emperor's cousin, the emperor will do it. Many tests to the prince!”
Chen Rui fell into silence when he heard this. The emperor was suspicious by nature, so why didn’t he know?!
When the King of Luoyang stayed in the imperial capital, he tried his best to advise the emperor...
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's have a good drink today!" Xiao Jingyao waved his hand and picked up the wine glass again.
Chen Rui was also infected by Xiao Jingyao's heroic spirit, nodded and laughed.
