Chapter 641: Xu Shanxin, who is walking on thin ice
Since the announcement of the decree, Xu Shanxin has actually no longer shouldered other responsibilities, and no longer represents the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, in most cases, everyone still treats imperial envoys with wine and meat, and says as much nice things as possible.
He said this to prevent them from saying bad things to the emperor after returning to the capital.
However, such a situation obviously does not exist for Li Xingchen. Li Xingchen was very polite in placing Xu Shanxin in the post house. Of course, Xu Shanxin would not be stupid and really act like an imperial envoy. In this case, he
There is a possibility that they will not be able to return to Jiankang Mansion alive - to put it bluntly, the things that others dare not do does not mean that Li Xingchen does not dare to do the same. At least in Xu Shanxin's view, he is obviously not that high a messenger.
status.
Now purely in terms of official position, Xu Shanxin is completely lower than Li Xinchen. It is also on Li Xinchen's territory, so when Li Xinchen sent someone to invite Xu Shanxin, Xu Shanxin came over with almost no hesitation.
He did not expect Li Xinchen to go to him. Xu Shanxin was already very flattered that Li Xinchen could spare the time to meet the imperial envoy.
At this time, under the guidance of Li Ping, Xu Shanxin walked quickly through the corridor. A touch of moonlight shone in front of the court, and Li Xingchen's study was in front. Li Ping stopped at the foot of the steps and made a gesture of invitation, and
The two guards standing on both sides of Li Xingchen's study turned a blind eye to Xu Shanxin's appearance, and seemed not to take the imperial envoy seriously at all.
It wasn't until Xu Shanxin walked up the last step that they slowly opened the door.
Li Xinchen was standing in daze in front of the huge map of Bashu. He knew why Yang Su came to find him in such a hurry. Obviously, his unclear attitude towards Nanchen also made Yang Su feel uneasy about Li Xinchen.
He won't end up being suspicious of Nan Chen.
If Li Xinchen still sides with Nan Chen in the end, then for the Hongnong Yang family, it would be better to go and talk to Chen Xu directly than to come to Li Xinchen, so Yang Su needs Li Xinchen's commitment to make sure that Li Xinchen's thoughts are in the world.
Not just the general and the prince-in-law of Nanchen.
Li Xingchen had no intention of hiding this from Yang Su. After all, he should now be regarded as "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road." In order to gain the complete support of the Hongnong Yang family, such a statement is not a big deal.
Of course, when he next dealt with Xu Shanxin, Li Xingchen couldn't be so arrogant.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen subconsciously touched his nose. Talking to people and talking to ghosts was probably the most annoying thing in his life. At that time, he was young and energetic, and he would see anyone who said one thing and did another.
Greasy middle-aged people are very disgusted, but now I seem to be gradually becoming like this.
It is true that people always gradually become what they once hated.
However, in order to achieve his goals, Li Xingchen can still accept such changes.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Xu Shanxin's figure came into Li Xingchen's eyes. Compared with this morning, Xu Shanxin looked thinner at this time, especially because he didn't know whether he was wearing white clothes deliberately or accidentally.
, standing there quite a bit of character, as if he wanted to show Li Xinchen his unwavering loyalty to Nan Chen.
"See General Zhenxi." Xu Shanxin bowed cautiously.
And Li Xingchen smiled and made a gesture to sit down: "Xu Jun, there is no need to be polite, sit down!"
Xu Shanxin hesitated for a moment, and then sat down obediently. However, he actually only sat on the chair with half of his body, and he could stand up at will. As if he realized something, Li Xingchen just smiled, but Xu Shanxin grew up in his heart.
Let out a long sigh.
As an envoy of the imperial court, to be so aggrieved and cowardly, he really brought embarrassment to the imperial court. However, Li Xingchen obviously did not intend to give Xu Shanxin much chance to blame himself and feel ashamed. He directly said: "We are busy with affairs here.
I didn't have time to meet Mr. Xu, so please don't be offended by Mr. Xu. I have long admired Mr. Xu as a young and talented man with a proud character. It's no surprise that I met him today."
After a pause, Li Xingchen then asked: "Mr. Xu came from Jiankang Mansion. Is His Majesty's dragon body still in good health? Are you, Prime Minister Xu in the court, still in good health?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xingchen asked this question directly, Xu Shanxin was silent for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, and there is no serious problem in handling the affairs of the court and coordinating the country. All the princes in the court are also in high spirits, and they can support me, Da Chen."
Start this world."
Li Xingchen smiled: "That's good. In this way, I can safely guard Bashu for my great Chen and fight on the battlefield."
Hearing this, Xu Shanxin's eyes almost popped out of his head. He has seen shameless people, but never as shameless as Li Xingchen. Fighting for the imperial court? Now that he does not fight with the imperial court, it is already considered the imperial court's luck.
You are still at ease... You, Li Xingchen, are at ease, but the court may not be at ease. With such a young and powerful crouching tiger lying next to the couch, I am afraid that no one can sleep soundly.
As for His Majesty's dragon body, Xu Shanxin certainly knew that it was not very good, and it might not even last long. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have been able to let many ministers from the East Palace gradually enter the center of the Nanchen court at this time. This was simply doing nothing for the East Palace system.
To pave the way for the smooth takeover of the entire Nanchen system, so as not to make any mistakes and give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Xu Shanxin even felt that His Majesty's health has been deteriorating these days, and it is possible that he was too worried about Li Xingchen.
Regarding Chen Xu's physical condition, it was already considered a semi-open secret in Nanchen Chaotang. Xu Shanxin did not believe that Li Xichen was not aware of the slightest rumor. After all, Xu Shanxin also knew that Li Xichen also had many people in the court.
They can be contacted - it's just that Xu Shanxin hasn't realized who these people are yet - but he won't naively tell Li Xinchen the truth, and of course he will bite the bullet on this issue.
And Li Xingchen didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Xu Shanxin's answer. He smiled and said: "Gu Gong said before that Xu Jun wanted to stay in Bashu. I think it is a good suggestion. There are a lot of rumors between me and the court.
Rumors, if someone like Xu Jun can mediate them, there should be fewer misunderstandings."
Xu Shanxin looked at Li Xingchen up and down in surprise. He didn't know whether Li Xingchen's words were true or false. After all, Li Xingchen's previous performances showed that the relationship between him and the court was already very tense, but now Li Xingchen seemed to want to make peace with the court.
Reconciled?
It's just that Xu Shanxin can't figure out why. Is Li Xingchen encountering any difficulties now? But today he saw the people of Shu County living and working in peace and contentment on the streets of Shu County. There were also a group of people working enthusiastically on several construction sites. It was completely a mess.
Looking full of vitality, this country of abundance is obviously recovering its vitality under the protection of Li Xingchen, so there is naturally no difficulty.
