Slowly walking down the steps, Xu Ling turned back.
The night behind him has been lit up by the soaring fire. If the fire burns for a while longer, the entire Jiankang Mansion may be visible. Not far away, at the junction of Li Xingchen's mansion and Xiao Mohe's mansion, many servants of the Xu family are cooperating with Xiao.
The servants put out the fire. Apparently these people had been reminded to some extent before, so they only put out the fire on the edges to avoid burning into Xiao Maha's mansion, but did not care about the rest of the place.
Li Xingchen was using such a simple and clear way to tell those in the city who were still thinking about how to trap him that Li Xingchen had had enough and was leaving. He was also telling the troops outside the city that right now,
Take action!
This young man is more ruthless and decisive than he imagined!
Nothing can be more blazing than a fire burning, and nothing can attract everyone's attention more than a fire burning.
In Jiankang Mansion, he, Li Xingchen, wanted to come and leave in glory.
"I don't know what will happen next." Wu Mingche's voice suddenly sounded next to Xu Ling, making Xu Ling subconsciously turn his head slightly.
Xu Ling said in a low voice: "This Li Shizhong is just a monkey. The huge Jiankang Mansion may not be able to trap him."
"It's because he couldn't be trapped that made the subsequent world situation more interesting." Wu Mingche narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.
Xu Ling did not speak this time, but quietly watched the fire burning. After a long time, there were no more people inside and outside the lobby, with only a few people remaining to maintain order from a distance. The fire in the distance was getting closer and closer.
You can imagine that this hall will be swallowed up in an instant.
Xu Ling chuckled lightly at this time: "Let's go, let's just watch."
————————————-
The sound of footsteps echoed above the hall, and a servant bowed respectfully and stood at the door of the hall. Looking at the figures who walked in quickly, they just silently bent their waists lower.
When Chen Shubao, who was walking at the front, looked up and saw the figure in the dim and flickering lights ahead, he shuddered subconsciously.
As the prince of Nanchen, he can be regarded as inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. But now Chen Shubao needs to face this person. Standing on the left of Chen Shubao are Changsha King Chen Shujian and Shen Jungaodu on the right.
Their faces tightened, they knew exactly what they were here for this time, and they could only succeed but not fail.
"See your majesty!" Chen Shubao first bowed his hands to Chen Xu and saluted.
Chen Shubao and others also followed suit and saluted.
Chen Xu obviously became interested when he learned why Chen Shubao and the others came. His eyes swept over them and he said in a deep voice: "Pingshen."
Chen Shubao hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said loudly: "My son led representatives of the clan and knowledgeable people to petition my father!"
"What's the matter?" Chen Xu raised his eyebrows. Chen Shubao's voice was somewhat lacking in confidence, and his eyes glanced left and right from time to time, apparently making sure that Shen Jungao, Chen Shujian and others were by his side.
All this was seen by Chen Xu, who let out a deep sigh.
I don’t know whether I was right or wrong in letting the seemingly stable Chen Shubao become the prince.
Chen Shubao was so hesitant for a moment that he didn't know how to speak, but Chen Shujian immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "To inform my father, Hanzhong Marquis Li Xingchen has revealed his evil intentions many times. This time when he came to Jiankang Mansion, he even made friends with courtiers.
, No one can guarantee that Li Xingchen will not be harmful to me in the future, so I and many of the royal family are worried about this, and have come here to petition my father to order Li Xingchen to be placed under house arrest!"
As soon as Chen Shujian finished speaking, Lu Qiong took a step forward, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xunchen, as a minister of Chen, has spoken rudely to the court many times, and his behavior has also been arrogant. This person will definitely be affected in the future.
She has become a new generation of Hou Jing, not to mention that this time Li Xinchen is still the princess. According to the rules of the imperial court, all official positions with real power should have been removed. However, Li Xinchen has no intention of asking for it. Instead, he has made friends with the courtiers, and seems to be preparing to compete with His Majesty and the imperial court.
, I think this is very inappropriate!"
"I second the proposal, please give your Majesty a clear warning!" Shen Jungao immediately took the same step.
"I second the proposal!" Fu Yi, Chen Bogu and others also moved forward together.
For a moment, a neat voice echoed in the hall.
Chen Xu was in a daze for a moment. He remembered that he had just dreamed that he was alone and helpless and could not deal with Li Xingchen. But in the blink of an eye, since Chen Shubao's surrender, a group of courtiers centered on the East Palace appeared in his
In front of them, what they wanted to do was the same thing that Chen Xu was thinking about even in his dreams.
Is this a gift from God?
But Chen Xu came to his senses in an instant. This was certainly not an eye-opener. Obviously, the rise of Li Xingchen had stimulated the interests of Chen Shubao and the East Palace. They would never allow Li Xingchen to rise, otherwise the entire Nanchen Chaotang would probably become incompetent.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty was much better. When the time came, everyone would "don't laugh at the older brother," and no one would have to beat anyone else. They should settle their own housework first.
But no matter what, now Chen Xu has no choice. At least the East Palace represents the prince and supports his future successor, so Chen Xu would rather let the East Palace rise than watch Li Xinchen become powerful.
But after the East Palace becomes powerful, will they still support Chen Shubao as always? Especially those who actually control the East Palace, such as Shen Jungao and Fu Wei, will they continue to obediently obey Chen Shubao's orders?
The current Li Xingchen is very dangerous, and people like Shen Jungao in the future are also very dangerous. If we directly give Shen Jungao and others a chance in order to deal with Li Xingchen, wouldn't it be equivalent to drinking poison to quench their thirst?
It’s just that now it seems like I can’t survive without drinking this poisonous wine.
Shen Jungao said nothing and waited quietly.
As expected, Chen Xu did not directly agree. As for what Chen Xu was worried about, Shen Jungao knew it. He asked himself that he had no such intention, but it did not mean that others could not doubt him. The pure will be purified. What will happen to Shen Jungao after he believes it?
Others will see clearly. As for this time, he is willing to give Chen Xu time to wait.
"Your Majesty, Li Xingchen still has room to move around in Jiankang Mansion. If he is allowed to return to Bashu, he will really be returning to the mountain with endless troubles!" Chen Bogu said again, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
As he spoke, Chen Bogu reached out and took off his official hat and held it in his hand: "I am a humble minister, so I would like to request you with this great head. If your majesty is not allowed, please take my official hat first and take the official hat from me."
life!"
Shen Jungao and others felt a surge of blood rushing into their minds. Since they had decided to do this at this moment, they no longer cared about life or death. They took off their official hats almost at the same time and looked at Chen Xu almost at the same time.
