can see the general trend of the world, of course, Chen Shou is not the only one.

All forces are watching, and at this time, the princes have become fragrant and sweet.

The crown prince is weak, and he may die in front of Emperor Gengyuan at any time, and whoever can narrow the prince to order the princes will take the initiative.

It's a pity that several princes are notoriously unsuccessful, Wei Yunse thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know which one to support.

And Chen Shou didn't have this trouble, he didn't think about supporting any prince at all, as long as he won the next battle, he would set up whoever he wanted.

At this critical juncture, news suddenly came that in the south in the Lianghuai area, the Southern Tang Water Division and the Great Qi Water Division misfired and fought.

Both sides had casualties, and in general, it was Daqi who suffered losses...

Even Emperor Gengyuan couldn't sit still, although he didn't ask about state affairs, but the involvement of the Southern Tang Dynasty still attracted his attention.

In particular, in terms of force, Daqi has always crushed the Southern Tang Dynasty, forcing the latter to almost surrender to the state and claim to be a minister.

If it weren't for Taizu falling into the water, he would have crossed the river a long time ago, and Daqi could not lose to anyone, but he couldn't lose to Nantang.

Chen Shou didn't know about this yet, and Emperor Gengyuan received the news and didn't tell him. After all, in the emperor's opinion, the most important thing for Chen Shou is not to go out all day to refine his pills.

He had just come back from the summer palace and had an in-depth exchange with Concubine Wu, he was in a good mood, he picked up the teacup and drank it dry, only to feel more happy, and raised his leg and put it on the table, "Hong'er come here, the lord is interested here." ”

Hong'er played cards with Lu'er a few last night, didn't sleep long, the building was quiet, although the copper stove was burning incense, but the windows were open for ventilation, and there was still a little chill.

Faintly hearing Chen Shou's movements, she was angry and funny, sat in front of the dressing table, combed her long hair softly in front of the bronze mirror, and her wonderful eyes shone like water, she walked behind Chen Shou gracefully and gently kneaded it.

Xinglin is from a different family, Chen Shou hummed comfortably, and when he heard his comfortable voice, Hong'er worked harder. In her life, there were no days of true peace and joy, and the appearance of Chen Shou made her feel relied on for the first time.

"Master, master, Zhao Hong is here."

Chen Shou was a little puzzled, usually Zhao Honglai ordered him to come by himself, could it be that something happened?

Walking to the flower hall, I saw Zhao Hong standing there, rubbing his hands and being a little anxious.

"My lord, it's not good, the Tang people's sailors attacked Daqi and sank four of our warships."

Chen Shou was speechless for a while, this is really a broken drum and everyone beats it, Nantang has always been in a safe corner, and he burned high incense without being beaten, and now he dared to take the initiative to attack, and he won.

"When?"

"Just a few days ago, it spread in the streets, and the people of Bianliang were excited, and they all ridiculed the incompetence of the sailors."

It's no wonder that they are like this, the people of Daqi have always had a natural hostility towards the Southern Tang Dynasty, after all, they crossed to the south and abandoned the people, so that Jiangbei was reduced to a hundred years of blood, and the Han'er in Jiangbei were almost extinct.

So far, when everyone talks about Taizu's southern expedition, they all have endless sighs and regrets.

In people's impressions, Nantang is mostly a few girls, and a few amazing poems emerge from time to time, otherwise the fame of the stunning beauty spreads, which makes people fascinated.

But their soldiers are well-known soft-footed shrimps, and they can survive so far because of the Yangtze River moat.

Could it be that Daqi has fallen to the point that even the Southern Tang Dynasty can't beat it?

Chen Shou pondered for a moment and said: "The success or failure of the sailor for a while is not enough to draw the following conclusions, I think this matter is mostly a temptation of the Southern Tang Dynasty, did they send someone?" ”

"Not yet."

When Chen Shou twisted his brows and thought about it, the little guy outside came in with Huang Zhen, and when he came in and saw Chen Shou's expression, he opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Zhongyong already knows?" ”

"Nantang?"

Huang Zhen sighed and said: "Exactly, now that the bandits in Hedong are scorching, and the thieves have attacked Jinyang, Li Xin has no choice." And the Southern Tang Dynasty is ready to move, if they take the opportunity to go north, Daqi will suffer from the enemy. ”

Chen Shou squinted at him and asked, "What do you think is the probability that the Tang people will go north?" ”

"It's small, but you have to guard against it."

Chen Shou nodded and said, "What do those officials in the court mean?" ”

Huang Zhen smiled bitterly: "It has been decided to supervise the imperial history Zhang Gongshi to send an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and ask them what they mean, if there is no suitable result, I am afraid that there will be a war." Wei Yunse was born in Lianghuai, and it is already an open fact that his family secretly traded with the Southern Tang Dynasty and grabbed a huge amount of money. It's just that His Majesty also relied on his ability to get money to spend from it, so that he became the prime minister for twelve years. ”

Emperor Yuan was arrogant and lascivious, especially in his later years, he was extravagant and wasteful, and spent money like running water.

And Daqi does not need to be in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there are no Jiangnan and maritime merchants, and the income is extremely limited. Only the local snakes of Lianghuai, relying on trading with the Southern Tang Dynasty, can provide a steady stream of money for Emperor Gengyuan's expenses.

Because of this, Wei Yunse was able to dominate the phase for twelve years, and others were not interested in replacing him, because the generation replaced him, but he couldn't come up with so much money, and Emperor Yuan was uncomfortable, so he asked you to roll up and get out.

Chen Shou had known this for a long time, so even if he wanted to collect grain from the Southern Tang Dynasty, he didn't dare to go to the most convenient Lianghuai, but went to a remote place like Jingxiang.

If the Southern Tang and Northern Qi went to war, it would be the most unfavorable to Wei Yunse, so he was afraid that this thing would sell the Great Qi cleanly and make a lot of money for himself.

These birdmen, insatiably greedy, incarnate as moths, only to bury their heads in gnawing at the foundation of the country. really bit down the building, but I didn't know that they were the fastest to die.

Chen Shou looked at Huang Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Find a way, it's good to send our people, do you know which of the officials who defected to us is suitable to send an envoy?" ”

"Yuan Xiannian, the head of the Criminal Department, although his official position is low, he can speak well, have a lively mind, and has always been quick and wise. His subordinates and him are close friends, but it is a matter of national affairs, and his subordinates do not avoid relatives and recommend this person as an envoy. ”

Chen Shou nodded and said, "It's a little impressive." ”

Zhao Hong whispered: "My lord, that day, he said that his father came, and he always admired you, so he asked you to pick up the wind." ”

"Oh..."Chen Shou nodded, "When is his father coming?" ”

"It's tomorrow." Zhao Hong said in a low voice: "You let the spies be arranged, the inn is clean, there are no suspicious characters coming in and out, there should be no problem." ”

Chen Shou nodded and said, "Okay, let's try this person tomorrow, if it's appropriate, I'll let Your Majesty appoint him as an envoy." ”

Holding the old emperor in his hand, he could jam Wei Yunse's neck, which was why he was in a hurry to get rid of Chen Shou, but Chen Shou had no motivation to deal with him.
