Chen Xu was obviously startled when he heard this title, but he quickly recovered and looked up at Xu Ling.
Xu Ling seemed to feel the questioning and probing in Chen Xu's eyes, and he went up to him without hesitation. The monarch and his ministers, who had been together for more than ten years, looked at each other quietly, although they didn't say a word.
It seemed like thousands of words could be expressed from the look in these eyes.
Wu Mingche cleared his throat, took a step forward, and broke the awkward and uncomfortable silence: "What Mr. Xu said is reasonable, and I agree with you!"
"I second the proposal!" Pei Ji stood up without hesitation. At this time, he did not want to offend Xu Ling and Wu Mingche. As for Your Majesty... Ever since he was involved in the handling of this matter, Pei Ji has not
I hope I can leave a good impression on Chen Xu.
What's more, the rise of Li Xingchen has broken the balance of the world. It is still unknown who will win in the future. Pei Ji also has to think about it, and even consider whether he should get some contact with the families in the north.
At least Pei Ji wanted to know what the Northern Dynasty's attitude towards Li Xingchen was now.
Because at this time, many ministers in the Nanchen court discovered that they had no idea what the peace treaty signed between Li Xingchen and Wei Xiaokuan was, because Li Xingchen only informed the court of the terms of the peace treaty in a memorial, but no one knew
Besides this, do Li Xingchen and Wei Xiaokuan have any other unspoken peace agreements?
After all, some important things are only verbal. If Li Xingchen and Wei Xiaokuan reach any verbal agreement, then Li Xingchen has no need to tell the Nanchen court, because such an oral agreement will most likely be detrimental to the Nanchen court.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Xingchen to tell the court everything.
In particular, the relationship between him and Chen Xu was now on the same level, so it was very possible that Li Xunchen had formed some kind of agreement with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was what Pei Ji was more interested in.
Once the Northern Zhou Dynasty's attitude towards Li Xingchen changed, Li Xingchen could be free to deal with the Southern Chen court wholeheartedly. Pei Ji had already seen how terrible Li Xingchen was from his illustrious military exploits.
This person has a perfect grasp of people's hearts, not to mention that many officials in the Nanchen court were already wavering, and even Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and Li Xingchen were already inextricably linked.
Once Li Xingchen wants to fight against the imperial court with all his strength, the only one out of ten who will really stand up to fight is His Majesty, plus a confused Crown Prince. But who knows that His Majesty, who is now showing an old state, will still be able to fight.
How long can it last? Who knows whether His Highness the Crown Prince, who only knows how to travel around, can support the overall situation of the world a hundred years later, especially since the relationship between the ministers of the Eastern Palace and Li Xingchen who the Crown Prince can trust is very good.
At that time, I am afraid it will still be a question how Shen Jungao, Xiao Maha and others will make their decision.
Pei Ji was not naive enough to think that once Li Xingchen gained the upper hand, all the civil and military generals and officials in Nanchen could still guarantee their loyalty to the court. After all, the Southern Dynasty had changed dynasties several times in the past three hundred years, and the most indispensable one was the ministers of Conglong.
Chen Xu slowly sat back down and sighed softly: "Well, that's it. As for the specific reward of gold and silver silk and silk, Xu Aiqing is busy."
This is the first time that Chen Xu has called Xu Ling "Ai Qing" after the obvious discord between Xu Ling and Chen Xu. The entrustment to Xu Ling here is naturally self-evident. Perhaps this can also be regarded as Chen Xu's love for Xu Ling.
The last test, if Xu Ling can complete this task, he should still be able to gain a foothold in the court. But if Xu Ling gives in step by step to Li Xinchen, Chen Xu will definitely consider shuffling the court, at least Xu Ling
This Zuopushe is going to be marginalized.
It's just that Chen Xu's meaning was clearly expressed, but both Wu Mingche and Pei Ji had a look of worry on their faces. Although what they said was like this, everyone knew what kind of situation Nan Chen's government and public were facing now, like this
The internal and external troubles Nanchen has rarely faced since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The last time was probably the Huajiao Rebellion nine years ago.
However, during the Huajiao Rebellion, Chen Xu was still in his prime and was personally on the front line. Xu Du, Wu Mingche, Huang Fazhu and other generals were full of talents. However, today, only Wu Mingche is left alone, and Chen Xu is already old.
At this time, Nanchen could no longer find a young and promising monarch and a group of brilliant generals to deal with such a crisis.
Therefore, it may not be a good thing to be in Xu Ling's position now. Once Xu Ling leaves, at least Pei Ji will ask himself that he will not move forward rashly until he has a clear understanding of the situation in the world. As for the other courtiers who are even less aware of the situation,
Pei Ji also believed that they knew how much he weighed and would never take over this heavy burden easily.
Being below one person and above ten thousand people is certainly an honorable position and is also trusted by His Majesty, but everyone has to consider what they will face next...
Even Pei Ji and Wu Mingche felt that Xu Ling, an old fox, was eager to hand over this difficult task to others.
After all, Xu Ling had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction and resistance to Chen Xu several times before this, and this was an attitude rarely shown by Xu Ling, who had assisted Chen Xu for many years. Of course, Pei Ji and Wu Mingche did not naively think that Xu Ling
As rumored, Ling's remonstrance was unsuccessful and he had a conflict with Chen Xu.
With Xu Ling's temper, this kind of thing is not impossible, but it will never last for such a long time. Xu Ling did it so deliberately, which shows that he is already worried about his position. As for sending his eldest grandson
Xu Deyan entered Bashu and joined Li Xinchen's command, which shows that this old fox has been prepared for a long time.
Xu Ling took a deep breath and raised his hands to Chen Xu: "I obey your order!"
Watching Xu Ling and the others retreat, Chen Xu slowly leaned on the dragon chair behind him. The powerful leader of Nanchen looked much older, huddled in a corner of the dragon chair.
The chamberlains and maids in the main hall had been dismissed before, so Chen Xu was the only one left, alone and lonely.
The rays of the setting sun shone through a thin layer of paper on the door of the hall, and the sunlight shone on Chen Xu's face, making Chen Xu squint his eyes. The sunlight immediately dissipated, and the entire empty hall fell into darkness and silence.
.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Xu's face was once again illuminated by a faint light.
Princess Lechang held the candlestick in her hand and looked at her father huddled in the corner of the dragon chair in surprise, the expression on her pretty face was frozen.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to push Chen Xu, then turned around and shouted to the maid behind her: "Quick, call the imperial doctor!"
