Last time, my father locked him up at home for several days because of his relationship with Lu Qiong and others. Although the old man did not get angry, his anger was obvious. Today, he stopped his son in public, which was obviously more serious.
It’s not to give Chen Bogu face.
Chen Bogu's steps paused slightly, and his voice also dropped: "Brother Xu, just go quickly and don't worry about us. Although this Jubaozhai is big, the few of us will not lose our way."
Xu Jian nodded hurriedly and walked quickly to Xu Ling. Chen Bogu, who was walking forward without looking back, stopped again at this time. He glanced back at Xu Jian's figure, and then looked back.
Xiang Xu Ling. Xu Ling still had the same smile on his face, but this smile made Chen Bogu confused.
In fact, even Chen Xu sometimes couldn't figure out what Xu Ling was thinking, let alone Chen Bogu.
"Dad," Xu Jian said respectfully, "Dad asked the child to stay, but do you have anything important to tell me?"
Although Xu Jian's tone was respectful, the impatience revealed between the lines still made Xu Ling frown slightly.
Xu Ling was confident that he could clearly see Chen Xu and the entire court situation, but Xu Ling could not see more and more clearly about the eldest son who would inherit his mantle and lead the entire Xu family in a hundred years.
.
Xu Jian seemed to be escaping from Xu Ling's control at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If there are gains and losses between understanding the court and not understanding his son, Xu Ling would rather have them reversed. After all, even if Xu Ling can understand the court, he will eventually die one day, and when that time comes, Xu Ling will die.
Ling Ke didn't know where his son, whom he couldn't see through, would take the Xu family, which Xu Ling had worked so hard to bring to the top of his life, to where he would go.
"Dad?" Xu Jian couldn't help but ask again.
Xu Ling came to his senses at this moment. He didn't even say anything more to his son, but perfunctorily told Xu Jian to go to the door to see if there were any guests.
Although Xu Jian was a little confused about his father's request, he did not dare to disobey it. He just thought that Xu Ling randomly found an excuse to keep a distance between him and Chen Bogu and others.
As he walked quickly towards the door, Xu Jian subconsciously glanced back at Xu Ling. His father didn't greet anyone anymore, and basically nodded slightly, as if he had been thinking about something.
Xu Jian didn't know why his father had been gambling steadfastly all his life, but when he got old, he started to step into two boats, but he knew that even if Xu Ling wanted to stop him, it was too late now.
If Xu Ling could stand on the side of the Yangzhou governor, Xu Jian would naturally be relieved. But now that Xu Ling has been following His Majesty's pace, Xu Jian can only say that there is no mutual conspiracy between people.
Even if this is his own father.

"Is the old fox doing this for us, or is he just really unable to stand it anymore?" Pei Zilie squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Ling, who was chatting with Xu Jian in a low voice, "Such a direct move of Xu Jian away from Chen Bogu.
Dragging him away is certainly reasonable, but it will probably make Chen Bogu feel uncomfortable to some extent."
"It's not just uncomfortable," Li Xingchen said with a chuckle, "Chen Bogu came here this time obviously to find trouble. Even if he didn't avenge the suppression of brother Chen Shujian before, he would try his best to find another way.
Establish your authority, otherwise who would dare to side with the governor of Yangzhou in the future? But now that Duke Xiaomu is doing this, it is clear that he does not want to lose face with Chen Bogu."
Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "Chen Bogu probably doesn't know how many times he has greeted the eighteenth generation of Duke Xiaomu's ancestors in his heart, but he still has to pretend to be nonchalant on the outside. It's not easy, it's really not easy!"
"Boqing, Chen Bogu should not be taken lightly." Fu Yi, who was standing in front, turned around at this time, "Chen Bogu is a rare minister with both civil and military skills in the court. This man can step by step reach his current position. , it’s not simple, knowing his identity will not really help him, it will also bring him a lot..."
When Fu Yi said this, his voice had already softened, and Xiao Shilian and others looked at each other and already understood what Fu Yi meant.
Chen Xu was originally a suspicious monarch, and he ascended to the throne by deposing his nephew Chen Bozong. Chen Bozong's younger brothers will definitely be more wary of the descendants of his brother Chen Qian, fearing that one day the throne will pass from him. One lineage ran to Chen Qian's lineage.
Therefore, Chen Bogu's status as Chen Qian's son and Chen Xu's nephew would not only not help him, but would also bring many obstacles to his career.
Chen Xu must have wished that his nephews could become idle relatives of the emperor rather than important officials of the court, because he was the one who became the emperor from the important officials of the imperial court. Chen Xu was very clear about this most popular routine in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. .
Therefore, as Fu Wei said, Chen Bogu's position as a servant is very valuable, and Chen Bogu is far from being as easy to deal with as he seems.
"Are we now?" Shen Jungao's eyes followed Chen Bogu's figure closely. Although he was not a narrow-minded person, Chen Bogu's ignorance and subsequent provocation just now made him always resentful.
"Isn't Chen Bogu trying to establish his authority? Then let's see what methods he has." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "We just need to stop him at the critical moment. Even if we can't stop him, someone will stop him. of."
Shen Jungao was startled: "There will also be people?"
"Both Your Majesty and Duke Xiaomu will not sit back and watch." Li Xingchen explained while looking around, "I think that today's situation may not have been expected by Your Majesty, but at least Duke Xiaomu knew it. From what Duke Xiaomu left just now, Looking at Xu Jian, it can even be said that he has already started to do this."
Zhou Que also spoke slowly at this time: "What Shi Zhongxian Nephew said is true. Xu Xiaomu will not just watch his Jubaozhai being used by Chen Bogu. As for your Majesty... you and my ministers , it’s hard to figure out what’s going on.”
Li Xingchen nodded slightly, looked at the crowd around him, and then looked at the second floor.
If Your Majesty wants to send someone here without attracting attention, Princess Lechang should be the best choice, just like at the Stone Mountain Poetry Recital before.
Thinking of the beautiful figure that often hovered in his heart, Li Xingchen took a deep breath and felt a little dazed unconsciously.
For a moment, it seemed as if there was a faint fragrance that I was familiar with.
What Li Xingchen didn't know was that the window of an elegant room for appreciating curios on the second floor was slightly opened, and a pair of autumn eyes silently looked at the people passing by through the gap in the window.
