"What is the purpose? As a general of the left guard, I am responsible for protecting His Majesty. I have no other intention. What kind of purpose and appeal can I have?" Fan Yi frowned slightly. He didn't know whether it was because he was a little panicked or because he wanted to test Jiang.
total.
Mr. Jiang calmly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Li Xingchen framed General Zuowei, causing General Zuowei to rise up and down secretly to the point where he is today. He can only sit in a dark room and drink to drown his sorrows..."
····”
As he spoke, Mr. Jiang glanced at the wine glass, and Fan Yi coughed slightly, but did not deny the fact after all. Mr. Jiang then said: "A wise man does not speak secretly, and General Zuo Wei is also a forthright person, so that's okay
He admitted it directly, it’s impossible that the general doesn’t have some grudge against Li Xinchen, right?”
Fan Yi took a breath. Mr. Jiang's straightforward words were beyond his expectation. Why did this person come, and whose order did he take, and what did he want to do? Could it be that...
···
Nodding slowly, Fan Yi did not speak, but just stared at Mr. Jiang closely.
Mr. Jiang smiled slightly: "In this way, don't General Zuowei and Donggong have something in common? Since we have something in common, we can stand together."
"Common ground..." Fan Yi relaxed a little. He knew why the East Palace was so anxious to unite with him. Now that Li Xingchen was so strong, it was obvious that the East Palace felt threatened. After all, the East Palace was the future of the entire imperial court.
The master, and now Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and others are on Li Xingchen's side, which naturally makes the East Palace feel threatened.
The attitudes of Xu Ling and Wu Mingche were not clear before, and these two old men had supported Donggong a lot before. Even Donggong's ability to control military power was only achieved by Wu Mingche's full efforts to ensure that, otherwise there would be a problem. How could veteran generals like Fan Yi be here?
It was not even Xiao Mohe's turn to take the throne. Because the two of them had always turned a blind eye, many officials below believed that the East Palace was destined to be the most powerful force in the future, and therefore began to move closer to the East Palace.
However, now that Xu Ling and Wu Mingche have all turned to Li Xingchen, many people were shocked and had to move their butts. At this time, the East Palace was surprised to find that the officials who were waiting in front of the door to ask for permission had disappeared.
Without a trace, some officials who had been speaking for the East Palace also ran to the door of Li Xinchen's residence, so you can imagine who they will turn to next time.
It can be said that the reason why the East Palace was so powerful before was mainly because the courtiers under Xu Ling and Wu Mingche rushed to seek refuge first, but now that Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, they obviously have other options, and it has nothing to do with the East Palace.
.
In other words, the reason why Donggong was able to influence the court was not because these officials felt that Donggong was indeed worthy of seeking refuge, but because they had no other options. Obviously, Li Xingchen was a better choice than Donggong now.
I have to lament here that the world is impermanent, but the East Palace must also take certain measures. Otherwise, who can guarantee whether Li Xingchen's continued expansion will threaten the safety of the East Palace, and even threaten Chen Shubao's throne in the future. After all, His Majesty's current physical condition is not good for everyone.
They all knew very well that if one day His Majesty kicked off his legs irresponsibly and passed away, then the East Palace would not be able to deal with Li Xingchen on its own.
Mr. Jiang, Kong Fan and others who originally accompanied Chen Shubao on sightseeing tours every day were obviously aware of this problem, and they still had some self-awareness after all. They knew that people like themselves would definitely stay away from Li Xingchen.
So now that we are already on the carriage in the East Palace, we have no way to jump off. We can only bite the bullet and push forward with Shen Jungao and others, hoping to unite more forces and at least be able to compete with Li Xingchen.
At least we can't let the world know that there is General Li Xingchen who suppressed the west, but they don't know that there is Prince Chen Shubao.
Among so many courtiers, it is obvious that Fan Yi and the Fan family behind him are the most suitable candidates. After all, others may defect in the face of battle, but Fan Yi, who was once cheated by Li Xingchen, will never let go so easily.
What's more important is that Fan Yi, as a left-back general, controls the palace guards and the capital's imperial guards. This is definitely a rare role.
After all, this three-acre area of Jiankang Mansion is at least the home court of the East Palace. If the East Palace wants to defeat Li Xinchen, it can only be here. Once Li Xinchen is let out of Jiankang Mansion, it will really be like "the sea is vast and the fish is leaping."
The sky is high and the birds can fly."
Wanting to understand this and knowing that Dong Gong came to the door sincerely this time, Fan Yi straightened his back subconsciously. He had deep resentment towards Li Xingchen in his heart. If he could join hands with Donggong to deal with Li Xingchen this time, it would indeed be a good idea.
It's a good opportunity.
In the final analysis, the Prince of the East Palace is still the orthodoxy of the entire Nanchen, and Li Xingchen has already lost to the East Palace on this point.
"So what does the Eastern Palace need the general to do?" Fan Yi's voice was slightly lowered, and he was already a little more respectful.
Mr. Jiang obviously realized that what he was going to say next was very important, and his voice was low:
"It is true that Li Xinchen is powerful now. In fact, this is just a compromise between His Majesty and Li Xinchen. With your suspicious character, you will definitely not tolerate Li Xinchen being so powerful. It is conceivable that when the war starts, once the war situation goes well, then Li Xinchen will fail. But
But there is a problem, that is, according to what Li Xingchen said, when can we fight this battle? It is still unclear whether we will succeed or fail, not to mention that His Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition. Therefore, although all the plans are good, there will inevitably be something wrong when the time comes.
What unexpected changes, so while Li Xingchen is still in Jiankang Mansion..."
Fan Yi raised his eyebrows. Donggong just wanted to take action in advance? This was beyond his expectation, and Li Xingchen was at the height of his popularity now. I'm afraid even Chen Xu couldn't suppress him directly.
Dong Gong wants to take action at this time, which is called "facing the difficulties" at best, and "seeking death" at worst. If Dong Gong simply thinks this way, then Fan Yi doesn't want to get into this muddy water.
The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. Fan Yi knows this very well. Once it is useful to him, it will definitely be the time to use weapons. To be honest, this is Chi Guoguo's coup. Although the target is not His Majesty, His Majesty is sure
I won't just watch something like this happen around me.
If the East Palace had the guts to attack Li Xingchen this time, would he have the guts to attack himself next time? After all, the sooner Chen Shubao is allowed to sit on the throne, the sooner these ministers in the East Palace can completely control the power of the world, so Chen Xu cannot
There will be no such doubt.
And when the time comes, the East Palace will definitely give His Majesty a reasonable explanation. If a scapegoat is chosen, how can Fan Yi ensure that the scapegoat is not himself?
