The road from where Chen Xu was admiring flowers to the royal study is not long. To put it simply, it is actually just a turn away. However, because Xu Ling is old and slow, he seems to have something on his mind. He doesn’t know what he is thinking about.
Young, and Chen Xu also deliberately slowed down, so the two of them walked leisurely until now, and they had just seen the steps of the imperial study.
A group of eunuchs followed from a distance, holding their breath. It was rare for His Majesty to be so kind and cheerful. Everyone had better cherish this moment.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent message from the navy from Guazhoudu." A eunuch ran quickly and handed a memorial to Chen Xu.
Chen Xu raised his eyebrows, reached out to take it, opened it and glanced at it casually, then handed it to Xu Ling beside him: "My good son, you are really impeccable in your work."
Taking the memorial and examining it word by word carefully, Xu Ling chuckled, and for a moment he didn't know how to comment.
Last night, the bodies of the men in black outside Guazhou Ferry were carefully searched by Xiao Mohe and a group of old soldiers, and then placed together. In the morning, a large group of soldiers from Yangzhou Prefecture rushed to the scene of the incident. The generals in the city arrested
Come on, it's a lot of hard work, and only three feet of digging is left. In the end, there is no evidence related to the murderer. It's like these men in black came into the world for nothing and disappeared for nothing. I'm afraid only they themselves know it.
Who are you?
When the generals in the Navy who were ordered to wait for the news saw the final result, they had no choice but to write a memorial and send it to the capital as soon as possible. After all, the Navy generals should stay out of the fight as long as they can. These are at the feet of the emperor.
The low-level generals who have been able to persist until now naturally understand how to avoid being involved in the whirlpool.
Therefore, even if His Majesty had given instructions before, this memorial was still written in a business-like manner. If there is no result, there is no result. Even if His Majesty really wants to blame someone, he cannot find the crime. But who is the murderer behind the scenes?
Who, this doesn’t require any evidence at all, everyone knows it.
As for which son Chen Xu was talking about, Xu Ling certainly knew it. He scanned the memorial briefly again, Xu Ling slowly closed it and said in a deep voice: "Although what the governor of Yangzhou did this time was enough to deceive others, his true intentions
·······”
Chen Xu suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Ling.
As if feeling the harshness in Chen Xu's gaze, Xu Ling paused for a moment, but still raised his head, his white beard dancing in the wind. The old man waved his sleeves and said seriously: "He has a heart that can be punished!"
The four words were loud and clear. The eunuchs following around them were all startled, and their bodies that were already slightly bent were almost lying on the ground. At this time, they just hated themselves for having two extra ears. It was terrible to hear such words.
There is no good fruit to eat.
"You!" Chen Xu frowned, and a word suddenly came out of his mouth, but he immediately realized that his tone seemed a bit inappropriate for Xu Ling, who had always regarded him as a master, and his expression reluctantly softened, "This...
··”
Chen Xu's eyes swept over the trembling eunuchs around him, and he said coldly: "You all stand down. If even one word of what you just said spreads out, you will die!"
The eunuchs retreated hastily. Xu Ling said calmly: "Your Majesty, why do you need to do this? This is not a shameful thing."
Chen Xu was startled. Even if Xu Ling's words were spread, they naturally had nothing to do with Chen Xu. Even if Chen Shuling really wanted to resent him, he would definitely resent Xu Ling. But for Xu Ling, Chen Shuling
Resentment or revenge, what does it mean?
Simply talking about the storms and waves he has experienced in this life, Xu Ling, a seventy-year-old veteran, is not comparable to Chen Shuling.
"In the whole world, the Qing family is probably the only one with such a big heart." Chen Xu said seriously. This time he did not use his usual title of "Xiao Mu Gong". Obviously, Chen Xu now is not a junior, but a junior.
As an emperor, I am praising Xu Ling.
Xu Ling looked stern and solemnly raised his hands: "Your Majesty, I have always said what I want to say. If there is anything that is not in line with Your Majesty's wishes, please forgive me. However, regarding the matter of the governor of Yangzhou, I feel that
Your Majesty still needs to think carefully."
Chen Xu nodded, and Xu Ling continued: "Previously, the governor of Yangzhou had a bad reputation when he was in Xiangzhou and other places. He bullied men, dominated women, and robbed people of wealth. Although it was not a big deal, it was already a big deal.
Everyone knows it, but His Majesty just scolded him in the end, and his love for the governor of Yangzhou is self-evident."
"Gong Xiaomu, you also know that in those years, Shu Bao and Shu Ling were both hostages. After going through many dangers, Shu Bao got his wish and became the crown prince, but Shu Ling had to continue fighting on the battlefield. In addition, this child is very talented.
, so I... feel somewhat ashamed and intolerable!" Chen Xu sighed helplessly.
Xu Ling raised his head and glanced at Chen Xu: "Your Majesty, it is natural for parents to care and protect their calves, but what your Majesty is facing now is not only his own children, but also the Yangzhou governor of Chen, and it is this Yangzhou governor who has always wanted to
Your Majesty, your eldest son and important officials in the court will be put to death."
Chen Xu's face changed, and his fists were clenched unconsciously. Reason told him that Xu Ling was right. He loved his children only as a father, but now he was far more than just a father, he was also the king of a country.
.
"I know that your Majesty will never be cruel, but it's time to give the Yangzhou governor a warning or punishment." Xu Ling's voice lowered. These words came from his mouth, but it actually depends on how he will do it in the end.
Chen Xu.
Chen Xu turned his head silently and said nothing.
Xu Ling suddenly took a step forward. The old man's hands were shaking a little and his steps were staggering: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Mr. Xiaomu!" Chen Xu was startled and hurriedly wanted to help Xu Ling.
Xu Ling waved his hand, stood firm, and said with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, I am over seventy years old, and I don't have much time to accompany you, so I hope your majesty will listen to what I have to say, because... what the veteran can say
There’s not much left to be afraid of..."
"It's just... Shu Ling is naughty and I will deal with him severely!" Chen Xu said through gritted teeth, but his words sounded somewhat coping.
Xu Ling didn't say much and slowly lowered his head. Poor parents in the world, he could understand Chen Xu's thoughts. After all, as Chen Xu said, he owed Chen Shuling a lot over the years. But Chen Xu still didn't understand after all.
What the son wants is far more than compensation, or rather, what he wants is not the compensation that Chen Xu can give him now.
What Chen Shuling wants is Chen Xu’s throne a hundred years from now!
But Chen Xu couldn't understand this most obvious question, but he couldn't understand it!
"The worries about Ji and Sun are not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang..." When Chen Xu turned around, Xu Ling murmured to himself, with a sense of depression in his voice that the old man never had.
