Chapter 303 Looking at the face of the younger generation
If Guangluqing publicly sides with Donggong, it may not be a good thing for King Gu Ye and Donggong. It is a trivial matter for King Guye to lose Guangluqing's identity. If Donggong causes Chen Xu to suffer more
Suspicion is a big deal.
For Dong Gong, Gu Yewang who did not reveal his identity was better than Gu Yewang standing in the sun.
"Master Gu," Li Xingchen said in a low voice, "His Majesty allowed Master Gu to come to Jiangling City because of his trust in Master Gu. Therefore, Master Gu must not let down His Majesty's wishes."
King Gu Ye suddenly shuddered. The reason why Chen Xu chose him to come to the west was partly because the officials in the court basically had many affairs, and he was considered an idler. The other part was naturally because Chen Xu thought that he was determined.
He would not stand directly on the side of the East Palace, and might even inform Chen Xu of the movements in the East Palace.
"What does General Li mean?" Gu Yewang said attentively.
Li Xingchen considered it and said: "Master Gu can inform your majesty about the debate in the meeting hall today. I am afraid that your majesty's trust in Master Gu will not decrease but increase. And Master Gu can rest assured that someone will tell Hussar everything."
General, no one will know about this."
King Gu Ye's expression became even weirder, and he met Li Xingchen's gaze: "General Li, I have something I don't know whether to ask or not. Does the East Palace really intend to use me while His Majesty is still in power?
"
Li Xingchen suddenly took a breath. This guy Gu Yewang really asked a question that would be fatal if the answer was slightly wrong. Looking at this old man with a weird look, he didn't know whether he really knew nothing or whether he knew nothing.
An old fox that Li Xingchen can't see through.
Seeing Li Xingchen's silence, King Gu Ye showed a worried look on his face: "General Li, are you really..."
The power of the East Palace is obvious to everyone now, especially the most intimidating army in these troubled times. From Huainan to Jingzhou, most of them are in the hands of the East Palace. To say that the East Palace is really
Whatever you want to do, it doesn’t mean you don’t have the capital.
Of course, in King Gu Ye's view, not to mention treason, the risk is one of the highest. Needless to say, his identity as Guanglu Qing will be the focus of Dong Palace's use. When the time comes, he will not be able to sit back and watch the fire from the other side.
Instead, he stood on the cusp of the storm!
This role changed so quickly that Gu Yewang was a little overwhelmed.
"Lord Gu, you are worrying too much," Li Xingchen interrupted with a smile, interrupting King Gu Ye's reverie, "Everyone in the East Palace is my loyal ministers, how could they do something treasonous and unethical?"
As he spoke, Li Xingchen's face darkened a bit: "To be truly treasonous, I'm afraid the one in Yangzhou is more suitable than us."
King Gu Ye looked at Li Xingchen in astonishment, and his expression became much more natural: "General Li said this, I feel relieved."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "Everything I said to Mr. Gu today, Mr. Gu must also know how many people and things are involved, so..."
"Unless General Li or General Hussar gives permission, I will not reveal a single word of what I heard today," King Gu Ye solemnly said, "When I finish writing the memorial to the court, I will send it to you.
You two have a look."
"Master Gu is a smart man." Li Xingchen said with a smile and made a gesture of invitation, "It's getting late, Master Gu should go back and rest early."
As he spoke, Li Xingchen walked out in person. King Gu Ye did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed. Li Xingchen was now a popular figure in front of Chen Shubao and Xiao Mohe. In this Jiangling City, he could be said to make the ground shake three times just by saying a word.
Li Xingchen, a shaky figure, did not take the main seat in the front hall out of respect before, but now he was sent to the door, making King Gu Ye feel flattered.
After crossing the threshold, King Gu Ye turned around and solemnly cupped his hands: "I'm sorry for bothering you, General Li, please forgive me."
Li Xingchen smiled and nodded, watching Gu Yewang get on the carriage, sighing secretly in his heart.
Before, Li Xingchen thought that King Gu Ye was a difficult character to deal with, but it was clear from the change in his nervous expression later on.
This Lord Gu is more of a writer than a courtier. He still has his own naivety and delusions about this dark era. But he doesn't know how many such officials there are in the Chen Dynasty.
However, seeing that Lord Gu has a very strong junior, Li Xingchen doesn't mind giving him some guidance in this rolling tide, even if King Gu Ye is almost sixty years old.
"Gu Yanwu, compared to your 'scholarship spirit', this ancestor of yours is a bit timid." Li Xingchen murmured, "'Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.' How should someone make this place a thousand years ago?"
What if everyone understands this truth and then continuously gathers under the banner of someone?"
"General?" Li Ping looked at Li Xingchen in surprise, "What did you say?"
Li Xingchen raised his head and looked at the sky full of stars: "It's getting late, and we have to go out tomorrow, so everyone should go to bed early."
——————————-
"Brother, be careful on the road." Li Lian'er held Li Xingchen's sword in his hand. After all, Li Xingchen's short blade was not made of good materials. It was broken in the previous battle of Zhangshan County, and I heard afterwards that
Xiao Mohe, who was in charge of this matter, took out a fine sword from Xiao Kui's warehouse in Xiliang and gave it to Li Xinchen.
It's just that Li Xingchen has been busy with the plan to advance westward these days, so he rarely wears this sword.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we go out." Li Xingchen said with a smile, "I'm just escorting a few royal children out for a tour, nothing else."
Li Lian'er snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Xingchen's indifferent attitude, and immediately took a step aside to get out of the way.
Xiao Xiang was wearing a lake-green dress that swept the floor, and her black hair was tied up with gold hairpins. She had obviously been carefully dressed up. She stood there looking at Li Xinchen in a lively manner. She immediately noticed that Li Xinchen's eyes were also falling on her, and she hurriedly subconsciously
He lowered his head slightly and saluted in a panic:
"I think of you in my heart and mind, but my husband will have a safe journey."
Li Lian'er made a staggering gesture towards Li Xingchen from the side. What she said was really heartbreaking.
Li Xingchen glared at her, stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged Xiao Xiang gently, and said with a smile: "I'll be back in a few days, don't worry."
Xiao Xiang solemnly said "Yeah", and Li Xingchen reached out to take the Ziyun gun in Li Ping's hand and walked straight out. A group of personal guards followed quickly, leaving Xiao Xiang and Li Lian'er standing quietly.
Watching there, two eyes tried to find the one he was looking for among the chaotic figures.
After a long time, there was no one outside the door, and Li Lian'er couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Sister-in-law, stop looking, there's no one there!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "sister-in-law" very hard, which made Xiao Xiang's pretty face turn even redder.
