"Pleading for Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng?" Princess Lechang frowned slightly after reading the first two lines of the letter.
She knew something about Shen Jungao's thoughts. After all, Shen Jungao couldn't sit still at that time on Stone Mountain. As the prince's uncle, if he continued to live like an idle cloud and wild crane, he might not even know that he would be plotted by the governor of Yangzhou one day.
Therefore, Lechang subconsciously thought that Shen Jungao wanted to use her to advise his father and seek a position. At least with an official position, he had the capital to settle down in this surging undercurrent.
But when she saw the titles Twenty-Fourth Prince and Twenty-fifth Prince, she realized that she had thought of Shen Jungao too simply. What Shen Jungao, or the current Dong Palace, wanted was to be able to break into the palace with two coins.
A chess piece among the enemy.
Obviously, Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng, who are already on the same level as Li Xinchen and other young people in the East Palace, are two very good choices. I just don't know how Li Xinchen and the others reached a consensus with these two brothers.
Once Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng's ban is lifted, they can interact with the Yangzhou governor again, and the East Palace can also find out the other party's arrangements. So there is actually no big difference in what position Shen Jungao holds. More importantly,
If Shen Jungao really wanted to hold an official position, he would not need Lechang to advise him.
Turning to twist the piece of paper and looking at the poem on it, Princess Lechang couldn't help but murmured: "I don't know who came up with this idea, but it's really worth this poem."

Fu Yi was obviously not as good as Shen Jungao. At this time, he was still pacing back and forth anxiously: "Not to mention who else is behind the scenes, just talking about Lu Qiong, I really misjudged him before, and I didn't expect that he would actually
I want to betray the prince."
"Lord Lu never said anything about being loyal to the prince." Shen Jungao snorted and picked out the biggest problem in Fu Yi's words, "How he chooses that is his business. The top priority is to figure out what kind of big fish are behind him.
, in fact, there is another thing, that is, we need to find out how many people are on our side."
Fu Wei paused for a moment and nodded slightly: "In the East Palace, the prince's concubine, Mr. Zhou, and the prince's guard, General Mao, should all be trustworthy. It's hard to say about the rest. We have been passive before. Why?
He said that there must be a few small fish and shrimps in the East Palace in order to spread our news in time."
"Yes," Shen Jungao smiled bitterly, "however, there are so many people in the East Palace, so it's not that easy to find these small fish and shrimps."
Fu Yi said in a deep voice: "Actually, this is easy to handle. As long as we pay attention to it in the future, big and important matters will not be discussed centrally, but only a few people will know about it, and then we can arrange it separately. There are small fish and shrimps, but it will definitely not be too big."
If there are too many, you can’t understand everything, and naturally you can’t understand the context.”
Shen Jungao nodded slightly: "A certain meeting will send someone to arrange it."
And before he could finish speaking, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
"Mr. Shen, Master Fu!"
Xiao Shilian arrived before he arrived.

"Father, why are you falling asleep here? It's getting late, don't catch a cold." Princess Lechang slowly walked into the imperial study room, and happened to see Chen Xu lying on the chair and falling asleep at some unknown time.
, hurriedly called to the maids who were following him and asked them to bring the cloak.
Chen Xu hummed softly, slowly opened his eyes, stretched out, and looked at the setting sun outside the window: "I just slept for an hour or two, so it won't hinder anything important. There are a lot of memorials accumulated these days.
You have to take a nap when you are tired."
"No wonder I just saw all the eunuchs outside and didn't dare to say a word," Lechang said with a smile, "but my daughter disturbed my father's rest."
Chen Xu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you don't come, Lechang, I will sleep over. You have seen so many memorials and you still don't know that you have to review them until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!"
While asking the maid to bring the soup pot, Lechang walked over and rubbed Chen Xu's shoulders: "Dad, this is the black chicken soup that my daughter specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare. Dad is tired, so he might as well drink some soup to warm his stomach before dinner.
.”
"Lechang, you still have your heart," Chen Xu said with a chuckle. He reached out and picked up the top memorial. He just opened it and glanced at it. His face changed slightly, "Interesting."
Princess Lechang was startled, but Chen Xu didn't seem to want her to avoid suspicion and directly handed the memorial to Lechang: "It's getting more and more interesting. Twenty-four and twenty-five have only been banned for a few days."
, some people started to feel unable to sit still.”
Could it be that Duke Shen and the others not only took their own side, but also wrote a memorial to their father?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. After all, if Shen Jungao and the others directly submitted the memorial, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling Chen Xu that brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng were already on the side of the East Palace? Aren't they worried that their father would suspect what these two brothers had done before?
Were everything done under the instigation of Dong Gong?
That would be harmful rather than beneficial to Dong Palace's status in the heart of his father.
"Chen Bogu?" Lechang was stunned when he saw the signature on the memorial.
She never expected that what she saw was this name.
"Bo" is Chen Xu's elder brother. The seniority of Emperor Chen Wen and Chen Qian's son is the same as that of Chen Xu's son.
Chen Bogu is Chen Qian's fifth son, and the most promising among Chen Qian's children. He is now Nanchen's Imperial Son, serving as a minister, and also serves as General Zhenyou. He is a rare person involved in the court.
Ministers with both civil and military official positions are also rare people who established military honors outside the country and later transferred to the court to serve as civil servants.
Therefore, Chen Xu’s trust in Chen Bogu is also evident.
Chen Bogu has always been strict and harsh in his actions. Under his jurisdiction, the Imperial Academy's learning style surpassed that of other dynasties. For this reason, Chen Bogu won a lot of reputation, making him truly one of the royal relatives except Chen Xu's son.
Outside, the real first person.
At this time, Chen Bogu stood up to plead for Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng. As Chen Xu said, this matter became more and more interesting.
Most people are aware of Chen Bogu's way of dealing with the world. With his selfless character, it would be impossible to say that there is nothing fishy about it when he pleads for mercy with the Chen brothers.
This can only show that Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng were very important to Chen Bogu. In other words, they were very important to the governor of Yangzhou.
Needless to say, Chen Bogu is the even more hidden chess piece that Dong Gong has always wanted to find.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Chen Xu chuckled and shook his head. He didn't expect that his second son would actually have extraordinary skills. To this point, he didn't expect that Chen Bogu would be that iron-faced man.
The King of Hell would actually stand with Chen Shuling.
