Watching Lechang's back disappear outside the imperial study room, Chen Xu shook his head gently, turned around and put down the battle report, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why did your Majesty agree to that girl's request?" A figure turned around from behind the screen, dressed elegantly and luxuriously. It was Chen Xu's first wife, Queen Nanchen Liu Jingyan.
Queen Liu was born in the famous Liu family in Hedong. She was beautiful, well-educated and well-educated. As a lady, she had received a good education since she was a child. She was modest, respectful and graceful, and kept the harem in order. Therefore, she was highly respected by Chen Xu.
The love between husband and wife has never changed.
Liu Jingyan waved his hand and asked the eunuch behind him to put the soup pot on the table. Without waiting for Chen Xu's reply, he said: "Your Majesty has been staying in the imperial study these days, and he is quite haggard. I specially asked him to
The black-bone chicken soup cooked in the imperial dining room is brought to Your Majesty."
Chen Xu nodded slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the disappeared figure: "This girl has been lingering in my imperial study for many days. To say that this request is a spur of the moment, it is definitely impossible, regardless of whether she really has something.
Whether she wants to go sightseeing or has someone in mind, I can't refuse her, so I'll just let her go."
After a pause, Chen Xu shook his head helplessly: "What's more, the prince is lazy by nature and never likes to deal with civil and military officials, while Lechang has a gentle temper and always considers things thoughtfully. Having her stay with the prince makes me feel better.
Don’t worry...”
"You," Liu Jingyan couldn't help but sneered. In her eyes, Chen Xu was obviously her husband rather than the emperor of Chen. "You just dote on these girls too much. If they ask for anything, you
It will be responded to.”
Chen Xu helplessly spread his hands: "It's not like the queen doesn't know. I don't know if I've been cursed by some evil spell in my life. The daughters I gave birth to are all smart and happy, but the sons I gave birth to have never made people worry.
"
Liu Jingyan frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and asked the eunuchs and maids around him to step back. Chen Xu, minding his own business, said: "Queen, let me say something that shouldn't be said. If Le'er is a man, then what will happen to my country?"
It must be left to her."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Jingyan wanted to say something, but he stopped. The current prince Chen Shubao was her child, and at least Lechang was born as a girl now, which had only advantages and no disadvantages for Liu Jingyan.
"Now I vaguely hope that Le'er can find me a rich son-in-law. After I pass away, at least there will be someone who can assist the prince. Otherwise, I don't know who will fall into the hands of this country." Chen Xu squinted slightly and looked.
Hanging on the wall is a map of the world that he knows very well.
It's a great country, but I don't know when my surname will stop being "Chen".
Liu Jingyan was hesitant to speak for a moment. If anyone else had said such words, she would have raised her eyebrows and scolded her, but this happened to come from Chen Xu, so Liu Jingyan didn't know how to respond.
I could only say:
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much..."
Chen Xu smiled self-consciously and waved his hands, obviously not intending to continue on this topic: "I hope it's just my random thoughts..."
Liu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and couldn't help but reproached: "What has your Majesty been thinking about all day long, such as passing away and having no successors? From my concubine's point of view, Your Majesty is probably a little anxious, so it is better to rest for a few days."
Even though the world is big, if you don’t have a good body, you can’t manage it.”
"Queen, don't worry." Chen Xu said with a smile, "In the first half of my life, I was in the army, and in the second half of my life, I was in charge of the world, and I can still say that I know myself well. I have to thank the queen for this soup pot. If the queen is fine, you can first
Go back and rest. After I finish processing these memorials, I will go to the harem to find the queen. You and I can go to the back garden of the palace to relax... The battle on the front line has been won, and I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Already."
Liu Jingyan smiled and bowed and left. However, Chen Xu did not review the memorial as he said. Instead, he sat quietly on the dragon chair, holding his chin with his hand and looking at the map that he knew by heart. Jiangling, Huainan, etc.
The regrets left by the previous generation have been solved by themselves, and where should Da Chen's military front be directed next?
Now that I am older, can I still control an increasingly large dynasty? Can I still withstand the impact of a failure?
In an instant, Chen Xu thought of Chen Baxian twenty years ago, the hero who rose up from Lingnan step by step and brought down the entire dynasty. He didn't know what he would do when faced with this situation. He would also be frightened.
Is it difficult to decide?
"General Li, meet Emperor Gao..." Chen Xu murmured and repeated, with a wry smile. Chen Xu didn't know whether this Li Xingchen who suddenly radiated light was Chen's General Li, but he was very
Clearly, I’m afraid I’m not considered a high emperor...

A ray of setting sun shone on the grass, and there was silence in the wilderness.
The wind blew past the soldiers' armor, and figures stood tall and tall along both sides of the forcibly opened road, with their spears and spears raised straight into the sky.
The mountains are covered with light clouds, the sky is covered with fading grass, and there is an uncontrollable murderous aura in the silence.
A flag was dancing at the end of the road. On the flag was not the character "Chen" that symbolized Nan Chen, but the character "李" that represented Li Xingchen. When Pei Zilie or Xiao Shilian took charge of the army, this flag was not displayed.
opportunity, starting from Baling and ending at Zhangshan, during the entire journey, only the last time was given for this flag to wave.
But it was this time that decided the entire Jiangling battle.
During the tragic Zhangshan defense battle, this flag was fluttering proudly at the top of the city from beginning to end. From beginning to end, all the soldiers followed this flag and fought bravely and refused to retreat. Although it was full of wounds and even
Blood, but when it was raised at the end of the road, there was only pure respect in the eyes of all those who looked over.
Below the flag, there are small, slightly raised mounds of soil that are not very conspicuous. If it were not for the wooden signs inserted in front of these mounds, no one would have thought that this was a cemetery.
Just to the west of Zhangshan City, at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, all the Nanchen soldiers who died in the battle were properly buried, and they will sleep forever on the land where they once threw their heads and shed their blood. Looking southward to their hometown that they could not return to, looking northward
Looking at Brother Paoze's back as he continues to move forward.
It is precisely because those buried here are all soldiers who died in the Battle of Zhangshan, so only Li Xingchen's flag is qualified to fly on their graves, allowing them to take another look at the flag they followed without regrets during their lifetime.
Li Xinchen stood quietly next to the flag. Neither Pei Zilie nor Xiao Shilian competed with him for this position, because they knew that in everyone's hearts, this glory could only belong to Li Xinchen, the man who led them to struggle from the gate of hell.
The young general who came out, the air general who led them to create miracles.
