Chapter 133: Shadow
"In this way, even if Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng are not on Chen Shuling's side, they have an inseparable relationship with Chen Shuling?" Xiao Maha paced back and forth in the lobby, "This is really unexpected. β
This is the meeting hall of Xiao Mansion, although it is not spacious, but it is more than enough to accommodate Li Xinchen and a few of them, the wall is full of maps, there are a few swords on one side, and the table is full of local chronicles and geographical chronicles from all over the place, just walk in and have a murderous feeling, it seems that this is not a big room in Jiankang Mansion at all, but a big tent of the Chinese army guarded by thousands of troops.
Li Xinchen and the others had just come down from the stone mountain, and they came to the Xiao Mansion in a hurry, this matter was big or small, so before the conclusion was reached, of course they would not rush to find Wu Mingche.
"Actually, it's reasonable." Li Xinchen looked at Xiao Maha, who seemed to be a little anxious, "Since this Yangzhou assassin wants to go against the crown prince, then he has to find some eyeliner in the capital to spy on the news, and compared with some court ministers, his own prince and brother are of course more able to contact many royal matters, especially His Majesty's every move." β
Xiao Maha bowed slightly, but immediately said in surprise: "Although Yangzhou Thorn Shi has a dissolute personality, he is by no means an unthoughtful person, which can be seen from the ambush outside the last Guazhou Crossing, even if the sailor and the people sent by His Majesty later, they did not find the rest of the clues that can be pointed to as being the work of Yangzhou Thorn Shi from the ambush place, so why did Yangzhou Thorn Shi find such two people in Jiankang Mansion?" β
"Yes, today this Chen Shucheng knew at a glance that he was a cowardly and afraid of things, at that time, as soon as Brother Shizhong's knife was compared, that kid was about to pee his pants," Xiao Shilian frowned, "I have long heard that Yangzhou Thorn Shi is good at gathering talents, and Xie Zhen and Ruan Zhuo in his shogunate are all great talents in the world, in this case, how could he take a fancy to a straw bale soft egg like Chen Shucheng, it is really a strange thing." β
Pei Zilie, who had been frowning and silent, smiled bitterly at this time and said: "Although this Chen Shucheng is very easy to deal with, he is a timid and afraid of things, but that Chen Shujian is not easy to deal with, if it weren't for Chen Shucheng in our hands today, he was threatened by a certain sword, I'm afraid he wouldn't give up." Maybe this Chen Shucheng was only involved because he and Chen Shujian were brothers and had a close relationship. β
"No," Li Xinchen interrupted Pei Zilie, "Today, Chen Shujian wants to attack us for the matter of the poetry meeting, which shows that although this guy is not small, he is not a calm character, such a temperament that must be reciprocated, as a pawn, it is okay, but it is a little illogical to want to be alone." Moreover, these two princes are still young, and they are young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence and arrogance, and they are definitely not good at spying on newsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Pei Zilie suddenly took a light breath: "Shizhong, what do you meanΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Yangzhou Thorn History is in the middle of the court, no, there are still people in the royal family? β
As soon as this sentence came out, including Xiao Maha, they couldn't help frowning. If this Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng are just the tip of the iceberg of the power of Yangzhou Thorn History in the DPRK, then how many people have not been revealed?
What's more, Chen Ji has more than 40 sons, and there are nearly 20 who have reached adulthood, and this is just the princes of all the "uncle" generations, plus the nephews of Chen Ji's "uncle" generation, the whole royal branch is flourishing, before showing the horse's feet, who is the one who really stands on the side of Yangzhou Thorn History?
What's more, Yangzhou Assassin has coveted the throne for a long time, and after so many years of painstaking management, the shadows who have been ambushed are definitely not idle people, even Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng have not been exposed until today, which shows that they are very cautious and cautious in ordinary times, and they will not easily reveal their positions.
Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I am in this mixed Jiankang Mansion, just thinking about it has a tricky feeling.
"We can't mess up the battle by ourselves first," Li Xinchen rubbed his chin slightly, although he had never participated in this kind of officialdom struggle, but the basic truth could still be figured out, at least better than Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, who were already in a bit of a mess, "Now there is actually no other way, there are only two ways to go." β
The three pairs of eyes turned in unison, and Xiao Maha said in a deep voice: "It's okay to say it's okay to be virtuous nephew. β
ββββββββββββββββ-
Nanchen Palace, the Imperial Study.
"These two evil obstacles, even if they go out, they have to cause trouble, do they have to make people feel that the identity of this prince is heaven?! Doesn't this take me into account! Chen Xu's beard was stretched out, and the inkstone next to him was grabbed and smashed heavily on the ground, and the ink splashed and sprinkled on his hands and sleeves, but Chen Ji didn't care about this, his eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and he was obviously angry this time.
"Father, the emperor is angry," Princess Lechang hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Ji, who was trembling slightly, and said softly, "Father, the two imperial brothers are still young after all, and they grew up in the palace, so it is reasonable to have such a self-confident identity, why should the father be so angry, come, the father will wipe his hands first." β
took the handkerchief in Princess Lechang's hand and wiped it twice at will, Chen Ji slapped the table angrily: "Lechang, you don't need to help your two shameless brothers explain more about this matter, I have already heard everything the rest of the people say, your heart is good, but you don't need to defend the two of them!" β
After a pause, Chen Ji didn't wait for Princess Lechang to speak, and said indignantly:
"These two evil obstacles began to be unscrupulous on weekdays by relying on their own knowledge of a few words of the saints, how could I give birth to such evil obstacles! Come on, come on, spread Shen Jieyu to see her, I want to ask her how she taught a good son! β
Princess Lechang waved her hand slightly at several submissive eunuchs, asked them to quickly retreat, turned around and helped Chen Xuan to sit on the chair, and brought the teacup: "Father and emperor drink saliva first, this is the new tribute tea in the south, the most fragrant, but the father can take advantage of this to be quiet." β
"Lechang, if only those few evil obstacles could be as sensible and filial as you, let me worry." Chen Ji sighed deeply, "Lechang, do you know that the biggest regret in my life in family affairs is that the daughters I gave birth to are the phoenix among people, but these sons born are not successful one by one!" β
Princess Lechang gently kneaded Chen Ji's shoulders while whispering: "Father is too worried, the two brothers today are just young and self-willed, and when they are older, they will naturally understand what to do." β
"Hmph," Chen Ji snorted coldly, and squatted heavily on the table with the teacup in his hand, "Do you think that my father is angry just because of these two evil obstacles who don't know right and wrong, and they have grown upΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Grow up, Lechang, you are too naΓ―ve, these guys, when they grow up, they become more and more uneasy! β
Stunned for a moment, Princess Lechang vaguely guessed something, and suddenly frowned slightly: "Today, Duke Xiaomu also asked the child to tell his father a word." β
