Xiao Mohe's face was surprisingly solemn. In Li Xingchen's impression, his expression was from the last battle of Luliang when the retreat was still unresolved. Obviously, compared to the three young people, Xiao Mohe, who had already participated in it, was
Maha understood the key to this better.
Today's noisy fight in the Sifanglou, if normally it was just a small conflict between the soldiers after the war, no one would take it seriously. After all, sometimes comrades become more familiar with each other after fighting.
Guys who fight with red eyes in private will still kill their enemies back to back on the battlefield.
But combined with this sudden edict, even if Xiao Mohe didn't care about anything, he could still vaguely smell something unusual. Obviously, these links were connected one after another, just forming a plan aimed at him or against him.
The purpose of Wu Mingche's trap is simple and clear, which is to prevent the power of the army from completely falling into Xiao Mohe's hands.
"You did a good job." Xiao Mohe looked at Li Xingchen and the others and emphasized again.
This sentence obviously refers to Li Xingchen and the others' decisive action in dealing with the fight in the Sifang Building. If Li Xingchen and the others had not calmed down the turmoil in the Sifang Building, Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche would have been in an even more difficult situation now that they were being attacked from both sides.
"Your Majesty will definitely not issue an edict to summon the governor or general just because of one person's remarks," Pei Zilie, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke, "this edict was issued before the reward, which shows that your majesty should be responsible for what Chen should do after the Battle of Luliang
I’m also confused about how to make a decision, otherwise I wouldn’t have easily used the 800-mile express.”
In total, it only took two days for the Battle of Luliang to end. Wu Mingche rushed 800 miles to send the battle report and merit book to the capital, and Chen Xu rushed 800 miles to send the edict. It took exactly two days.
effort.
Chen Xu was so anxious to summon Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche to Beijing. It was certainly not a decision made easily by one person in a few words.
As Pei Zilie said, as the emperor of Chen, facing the outcome of the Battle of Luliang, which is difficult to tell whether it is a victory or a failure, he must have had doubts and wanted to seek the opinions of Wu Mingche and Xiao Mohe. At the same time, to a certain extent
General, this is the only army in Nanchen that can be used for conquest. Chen Xu will definitely participate in the transition of power.
Whether it is giving advice or beating, as the monarch of Chen, Chen Xu would never allow the command of the army to be transferred easily, especially now that Xiao Mohe is young and energetic, and it is not easy to control him, so he summoned
Xiao Mohe is also within reason.
"So... you are worrying too much?" Xiao Maha stroked his chin with a complicated expression. He didn't have much exposure to this kind of emperor's mental skills, so he was at a loss for a while. Subconsciously, he
His eyes fell on the following people. When people were not paying attention, they naturally wanted to ask more people for their opinions.
Li Xingchen kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking about. He seemed to feel Xiao Mohe's gaze. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know whether I should say this sentence or not..."
Although he said that, before Xiao Mohe could speak, Li Xingchen had already continued talking on his own: "This time your majesty summons me, I have to go to the capital. Although I don't know that the governor of Yangzhou asked Yuan Ying to stay in all directions."
Whether these things happening in the building have anything to do with His Majesty's edict, we all have to admit that we are moving step by step towards a battlefield that is more beneficial to the governor of Yangzhou, but we have no choice..."
Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian also felt the solemnity between Li Xingchen's words and subconsciously held their breath. Xiao Mohe paced back and forth in front of the desk a little irritably. Obviously, today's situation was beyond his expectation. For Xiao Mohe,
As for Maha, he would rather face off against the northern barbarians ten times on the battlefield than face off once against those who covet his position in this treacherous officialdom.
But as Li Xingchen said, if Xiao Mohe doesn't want to fall to pieces from a high place, he has no choice but to step on this battlefield.
Li Xingchen's voice suddenly rose: "Even if Jiankang Mansion is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, we still have to break into it!"
Xiao Mohe suddenly turned around, staring at Li Xinchen with piercing eyes. But this time, Li Xinchen didn't hesitate at all, and directly raised his head to look at Xiao Mohe.
In Li Xingchen's eyes, Xiao Mohe felt that he could see no conspiracy or calculation, only burning flames and indomitable fighting spirit.
It seemed that I was worrying too much.
Xiao Mohe took a deep breath, and at this time, the eyes of Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie inevitably fell on him, waiting for Xiao Mohe to make a decision. As for their own decisions, they were unknowingly standing in front of him.
Li Xingchen actually showed it when he was around.
"Hahaha, what my nephew said is very suitable for me!" Xiao Mohe slammed the table, "Even if the capital is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, Xiao Mohe is upright and has a clear conscience, so why can't he break in!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Li Xingchen's mouth, but there was no look of relaxation on his face. This Jiankang Mansion was not something you could just go to. Maybe Chen Xu really just wanted to test or praise Xiao Mohe again, but he couldn't stand it.
There was Chen Shuling next to him, and several princes standing on Chen Shuling's side were fanning the flames.
You must know that most of the princes in Nanchen are officials in the court, with military power or civil rights, and financial power in their hands. To say that they have no objections to the mediocre prince eldest brother who has never made any outstanding achievements is to say that he has no opinions at all.
Impossible, and these grudges and dissatisfactions will naturally unite them to Chen Shuling's side.
Therefore, as the prince, Chen Shubao seems to be quite orthodox, but except for the support of several ministers in the court and generals such as Xiao Mohe in the army, he does not have advantages in many other aspects. Gathering sand into a tower, gathering armies into fur, perhaps
The power of one prince alone is not enough to challenge Chen Shubao, but when the other princes join forces, their combined power is enough to threaten Chen Shubao's seemingly indestructible crown prince position.
But for some unknown reason, neither the current Chen Xu nor the Chen Xu that Li Xingchen knew in history had properly handled the fights and conflicts between his sons, which led to another time and space.
Zhong actually staged the tragedy of fratricide in front of his coffin. If Xiao Maha hadn't decisively sent troops to defeat Chen Shuling, Nan Chen would have caused chaos himself before the Northern Zhou Dynasty could take action.
According to Li Xingchen's speculation, it is very likely that Chen Xu was also deceived by the meekness of the various princes or the deliberate conflicts between them. Or maybe Chen Xu believed too much in his own lifespan and would not wait until he died in his fifties.
There was no time to deal with this problem.
Regardless of whether it is this or that, the source of this problem does not need to be asked, but it must be solved, because this has truly threatened Xiao Mohe, threatened the future and even the life and death of several people present, including Li Xingchen.
