Xu Shanxin looked at Li Xinchen suspiciously, although he didn't know how sincere and false Li Xinchen's words were, but Xu Shanxin still knew that this was a rare flaw for Li Xinchen, and he had to seize this opportunity, otherwise it would be difficult to find Li Xinchen to take the initiative to show favor to the court like this in the future.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Shanxin said in a deep voice: "General, Your Majesty and Xu Xiang are also very concerned about the general, this time Your Majesty will marry his most beloved His Royal Highness Lechang to the general, and the trust in the general is self-evident, please rest assured that those gossips naturally have no way to damage the mutual benefit and mutual trust between the court and the general." ”

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in his heart, there is no so-called "mutual benefit and mutual trust" between him and the imperial court now, Xu Shanxin can say it so high-soundingly, it is really embarrassing for him, but to put it mildly, Xu Shanxin is a person who can speak, but it is suitable to be a diplomatic envoy, but this guy's performance in history is enough to prove that his bones are still very hard, and it is naturally more difficult for him to stand on Li Xinchen's side at this time than to ascend to the sky.

However, if you are lucky enough to conquer Nanchen in the future, you can reuse it.

Of course, Xu Shanxin didn't know Li Xinchen's idea of digging into the wall, to be honest, he himself was a little unconvinced when he said it just now, but now is not the time to take care of face, the interests and needs of both sides have been manifested, and there is no need to say anything about courtesy, righteousness and shame.

I don't know whether Li Xinchen agrees or opposes this, Xu Shanxin then said tentatively: "It's been some time since the general left Jiankang Mansion, this time His Majesty means to let the general and His Royal Highness Lechang marry as soon as possible, I don't know ······ general."

Li Xinchen had already expected that this problem would definitely fall on this in the end, Chen Xuan wanted Li Xinchen to go to Jiankang Mansion, and in Xu Shanxin's opinion, Li Xinchen would definitely not agree, so he said this carefully, for fear of completely breaking the current weird and ambiguous atmosphere.

Li Xinchen seemed to be a little surprised by this, but he immediately nodded unexpectedly to Xu Shanxin: "Your Majesty's hard work, I am naturally very considerate as a courtier, this should naturally be, after all, the age of a certain is not young, the parents are not in the war, the parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker are naturally gone, it is a pity to be able to have His Majesty's holy decree to marry, it is also an honor in this life, it's time to start a family." ”

Xu Shanxin couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Li Xinchen in surprise, he was sure that he had heard it correctly just now?

Li Xinchen just agreed?

Could it be that Li Xinchen really wants to change his mind and become a loyal minister of the court? Or did Li Xinchen originally want to be loyal to Nan Chen from the bottom of his heart, but he had to protect himself first because of some misunderstandings in the imperial court?

Xu Shanxin didn't dare to judge rashly for a while, so he could only look at Li Xinchen, wanting to know what Li Xinchen would say next.

And Li Xinchen's words changed: "There are still some affairs in Bashu that need to be dealt with recently, and then I am ready to leave for the capital." There is also the battle of Bashu, the soldiers of the land division and the sailor division under the command of a certain army fought bloodily and made countless achievements, but the rewards and rewards made a certain person feel sorry for their courage and spirit of winning more with less and fighting bravely, I don't know if the imperial court can be gracious and give these soldiers a chance to enter the capital to boast about their achievements? ”

Li Xinchen's words fell, and Xu Shanxin only felt like he was falling into an ice cave.

He trembled and walked on thin ice, and finally stepped on that layer of thin ice.

Li Xinchen's condition made Xu Shanxin not dare to agree directly, or he didn't know what Li Xinchen's purpose was in doing this. It is not a big deal to enter the city to praise the merits, but from ancient times to the present, I have not heard of the local generals taking the initiative to ask to enter the city to praise the merits, not to mention that the relationship between Li Xinchen and the imperial court is still in a well-known sensitive period, and Li Xinchen led the troops into the capital at this time, which is obviously not a good thing.

But······

But then again, Li Xinchen's request doesn't seem to be wrong, after all, Li Xinchen's achievements in this battle of Bashu are worthy of such a reward, but the imperial court did not give it out of various considerations before - because no one knows whether Li Xinchen will directly surround the palace when he leads his troops into the capital.

Others don't dare, Li Xinchen, who is more bold than Hou Jing back then, may not be.

Even if Xu Shanxin knew that Li Xinchen was loyal to Nan Chen, he would not dare to make such a decision rashly, because once something went wrong, then he Xu Shanxin would undoubtedly be Nan Chen's sinner, not to mention that now Xu Shanxin did not dare to play this guarantee ticket at all, he didn't know whether Li Xinchen was sincere or false, maybe Li Xinchen just wanted to use this as an excuse to prevaricate the court?

And Li Xinchen didn't seem to care about Xu Shanxin's hesitation and speculation, and said directly: "The battle of Bashu, the tragedy here must have been heard by Xu Jun, so many soldiers followed a bloody battle, and it was impossible for a certain person to treat them badly. ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen immediately said helplessly: "In life, what they pursue is just fame and fortune, and now the imperial court has given them Lilu, but everyone wants to have a chance to glorify their ancestors, right?" However, I also knew that it was indeed too much to make such a request rashly, Xu Jun also had difficulties, and the imperial court had also heard of the distrust of my Bashu soldiers, but I didn't expect it to be like this······ Either or ······"

"General, slow!" Xu Shanxin didn't know where he got the courage, Huo Ran stood up and interrupted Li Xinchen, "The imperial court has always trusted the general, this general can rest assured, of course, those gossips will not interfere with the general's loyalty to the imperial court, and naturally they will not dare to interfere with the imperial court's trust in the general!" ”

Li Xinchen suddenly looked at Xu Shanxin with some surprise, Xu Shanxin waved his sleeves: "The general's meaning has been understood, and the subordinate will go back to His Majesty now, and tell Your Majesty the general's request in its original form!" ”

Before the words fell, Xu Shanxin immediately bowed his hand to Li Xinchen. And Li Xinchen seemed to have recovered from the shock at this time, and solemnly returned the salute.

And Xu Shanxin didn't stay long, and left quickly.

It wasn't until he walked down the steps of Li Xinchen's study that Xu Shanxin breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as the evening breeze blew, he found that his back was soaked with sweat at any time. And several of Li Xinchen's personal guards saluted Xu Shanxin, but Xu Shanxin didn't notice it this time.

Of course, Xu Shanxin didn't say that he believed Li Xinchen like this, but he realized more clearly that if he continued like this, everything would only get worse, and what Li Xinchen said was obviously the biggest concession Li Xinchen could make.
