Three hundred and ninetieth chapters merit or demerits
Li Xinchen marched into Bashu and captured the entire Bajun without making any noise. This clearly meant that he did not take the court and Chen Xu seriously, and Chen Xu was definitely angry.
But then again, Li Xingchen's attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good, and he went to war this time with the permission of the East Palace and the consent of Xiao Mohe, so it didn't really mean that he didn't obey all the orders of the general. The general would not accept the orders of the foreign emperor.
If Xiao Mohe issued an order to Li Xunchen to send troops, Li Xinchen could theoretically not ask for Chen Xu's opinion.
What's more, Li Xingchen seized the fleeting opportunity this time and successfully captured Bajun. It was a complete victory, and he had results to report.
Therefore, Li Xingchen cannot be regarded as completely without merit.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why Chen Xu was angry but couldn't get angry. After all, he had to consider the impact of his anger on the attitudes of many courtiers in the court.
"Royal sister, I don't dare to go to the imperial study room, so..." Chen Shubao lowered his head slightly, intertwined his fingers, feeling a little frustrated.
Obviously Chen Xu didn't look good on him, which made him helpless and even more afraid of this father.
Seeing Chen Shubao's troubled expression, Lechang sighed secretly in his heart.
This is the future monarch of Chen, and his ministers are young, promising and even bold young people like Li Xingchen.
The two sides are not on the same level at all.
"Li Xinchen, Li Xinchen." Lechang murmured in his heart and repeated it.
The man swiping ink on the top of the stone mountain, the man standing in front of me on Huarong Road. His figure was sometimes blurry, sometimes clear.
It's really a guy that makes people love and hate him.
"Imperial sister?" Seeing Lechang's changing expression and not knowing what he was thinking, Chen Shubao suddenly became a little anxious. He knew very well that there was a love bond between his imperial sister and Li Xingchen, so he could solve it now and dared to solve it.
It's just her.
Lechang came back to his senses and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will persuade your father."
A stone fell in Chen Shubao's heart, and he smiled brightly: "Then there will be Princess Lao. Brother Huang has collected a new painting of Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy, and will send it to Princess Lao for her appreciation someday."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Lechang waved his hand hurriedly, "I know how valuable Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy is, and I don't think I should be like this. My father is angry, and it is my duty as a daughter to comfort him.
.”
Chen Shubao was even more happy and raised his hand to Lechang.
While Lechang returned the gift, he sighed secretly in his heart.
She knew her own voice very well. Helping Chen Shubao or comforting Chen Xu were only a small part of the reasons. More importantly, she wanted to help Li Xingchen.

Chen Xu tapped his fingers lightly on the table. On the table in front of him, Li Xinchen's memorial was spread out. Chen Xu didn't comment on a single word on it, but his eyes were fixed on the memorial.
Beside this, since the surrender of Chen Shubao, the memorials of Xiao Maha, Zhou Que, Shen Jungao and others in the East Palace, as well as the Guanglu Qing Gu Yewang and others he sent to Jingzhou, are piled up to half a person's height, but Chen Xu is only
After reading the top two copies, you will know what these memorials are about.
In an instant, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards the owner of the memorial in front of him.
Li Xingchen pleaded sincerely, with an attitude that he would not give up until Chen Xu punished him, and Chen Xu did not want to let go of this guy who directly attacked Bashu and opened up another front without asking for instructions.
his meaning.
However, the memorial on the other side clearly told Chen Xu that if he punished Li Xinchen, he would be refuting the views of so many people.
Nanchen is still in a state of war. As the supreme ruler, Chen Xu cannot offend half of the court officials at once, because this will mean the official separation of the East Palace system and the court, and it will also mean that the entire Jingzhou front and Xinna
The Bashu territory generals who came down had little to do with Chen Xu.
At this time, Chen Xu suddenly felt that he knew too little about the ministers in the East Palace, and even too little about his silly son Chen Shubao.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." A maid came over cautiously holding a teacup and carefully placed the teacup on the table.
Chen Xu glanced sideways at the maid. The maid suddenly met Chen Xu's gaze, her heart trembled, her hands shook, and the tea cup suddenly dropped and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Hot water was spilled on the hand of the maid, and the broken porcelain pieces were scattered on the floor, but the maid did not dare to wipe them, but knelt down directly on the broken pieces: "You deserve to die!"
Chen Xu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Here comes someone, pull him down and chop him!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" The maid did not expect that Chen Xu would directly take her own life, so she immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Two soldiers had strode over and were about to lift the maid up. A clear voice suddenly sounded: "Father, please show mercy."
The maid looked up in surprise and saw Princess Lechang coming out from behind the screen, and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xu obviously did not expect that Lechang would appear at this time. He had not seen this most satisfying and filial daughter for a long time. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Lechang, why are you here?"
Lechang smiled and saluted: "My daughter has not come to see my father since she returned to the palace. I heard that my father was in a bad mood, so she went to the imperial kitchen to make a soup. Can you try it?"
"You have lost weight after a long journey." Chen Xu didn't even wait for Le Chang to take the soup pot from the maid's hand. He directly stretched out his hand to bring the soup pot to the table, opened the lid and smelled it, "Le'er
Your craftsmanship has improved again."
Lechang pursed his lips and smiled, and waved his hand gently. The two soldiers had understood and released the maid. While Chen Xu was tasting the soup, the maid solemnly bowed to Lechang.
Leave gently.
Chen Xu saw Lechang's little actions from the corner of his eye, but in the end he said nothing.
He had always followed the wishes of his daughters, and now that Lechang had brought the soup pot to his table, it was natural for Chen Xu not to refute his daughter's face again.
Looking at the obvious whiteness of his father's temples, Lechang's nose felt a little sore. He quickly turned his eyes and happened to see the memorial on the table. The handwriting on it was all too familiar to him.
Sure enough, what dad was really worried about was this matter.
Noticing where Lechang's eyes were, Chen Xu smiled softly and reached out to knock on the memorial: "Leer, you have been in Jingzhou for a long time. Your understanding of Jingzhou is even better than that of your father. Take a look.
This memorial."
Although Lechang had already read this memorial, he obediently reached out to pick it up at this time, and while hastily scanning the familiar words on it, he said in a deep voice: "Does the emperor really intend to punish General Dang Kou?
