Chapter 162: Sit and Watch
Xu Ling's sudden words made Xu Jian stunned for a moment.
The last time Daddy locked himself in his home for several days because of his relationship with Lu Qiong and others, although the old man did not get angry, but his anger was self-evident, and today he stopped his son in public, which clearly did not give Chen Bogu face.
Chen Bogu's footsteps paused slightly, and his voice sank: "Brother Xu, you just go quickly, don't care about us." Although this treasure is big, a few of us will not lose our way. β
Xu Jian nodded hurriedly and walked quickly to Xu Ling's side. And Chen Bogu, who walked forward without looking back, stopped again at this time, he glanced back at Xu Jian's figure, and then turned to look at Xu Ling. Xu Ling still had the same smile on his face as always, but this smile made Chen Bogu wonder no matter what.
In fact, even Chen Ji sometimes couldn't figure out what Xu Ling was thinking, let alone Chen Bogu.
"Daddy," Xu Jian said respectfully, "Daddy called the child to stay, but what important things do you have to order?" β
Although Xu Jian's tone was respectful, the impatience revealed between the lines still made Xu Ling frown slightly.
For Chen Ji and the entire court situation, Xu Ling confidently saw it clearly, but for this eldest son who would inherit his mantle and lead the entire Xu family after a hundred years, Xu Ling became more and more unable to see it clearly.
Xu Jian seemed to be breaking away from Xu Ling's grasp at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
If it is said that there are gains and losses if he understands the court and his son, Xu Ling would rather let them be reversed, after all, even if Xu Ling can understand the court again, there will be a day when he will die, and then Xu Ling will not know where his son who can't see through will bring Xu Ling's life to the Xu family at the peak.
"Daddy?" Xu Jian couldn't help but ask again.
Xu Ling only came back to his senses at this time, and he didn't even say anything to his son anymore, but just perfunctorily told Xu Jian to go to the door to see if there were any guests.
Although Xu Jian was a little inexplicable about his father's request, he didn't dare to disobey it much, but Xu Ling found an excuse at will to keep him at a distance from Chen Bogu and others.
While walking quickly towards the door, Xu Jian subconsciously glanced back at Xu Ling, his father didn't say hello to anyone more, basically nodded slightly, and seemed to have been thinking about something.
Xu Jian didn't know why his father had been unswervingly gambling all his life, and when he was old, he began to step on two boats, but he knew that even if Xu Ling wanted to stop him, it would be too late now.
If Xu Ling could stand on the side of Yangzhou Thorn History, Xu Jian would naturally breathe a sigh of relief, but now that Xu Ling has been following His Majesty's pace, then Xu Jian can only say that the Tao is not the same.
Even if it's his own daddy.
ββββββββββββββ-
"Is the old fox here to show us, or is it just that he really can't stand it anymore?" Pei Zilie squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Ling, who was talking to Xu Jian in a low voice, "It is reasonable to directly drag Xu Jian away from Chen Bogu like this, but it will also make Chen Bogu uncomfortable." β
"It's not just uncomfortable," Li Xinchen said with a chuckle, "Chen Bogu is obviously looking for a place this time, even if he doesn't report the revenge of Chen Shujian's brother who was suppressed before, he will try his best to establish his authority in another way, otherwise who will dare to stand on the side of Yangzhou Assassin Shi in the future?" And now that Xiao Mugong is doing this, it is clear that he does not want to save face with Chen Bogu. β
Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "This Chen Bogu is afraid that he doesn't know how many times he has greeted the eighteenth generation of Xiao Mugong's ancestors, and he has to pretend to be casual on the outside, it's not easy, it's really not easy!" β
"Boqing, this Chen Bogu can't be taken lightly." Fu Xuan, who was standing in front, looked back at this time, "Chen Bogu is a rare minister in the DPRK who is both civil and military, this person can step by step to get to today's position, it is not simple, you must know that his identity will not really help him, and it will bring him a lot of Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·."
When Fu Wei said this, his voice had already decreased, and Xiao Shilian and the others glanced at each other, already understanding what Fu Wei meant.
Chen Ji was originally a suspicious monarch, and he ascended the throne by abolishing his nephew Chen Bozong, so he would definitely be more wary of his brother Chen Qian's descendants and Chen Bozong's younger brothers, afraid that one day the throne would run from his own vein to Chen Qian's vein.
Therefore, Chen Bogu's identity as Chen Qian's son and Chen Ji's nephew will not help him, but will bring him many obstacles in his career.
Chen Ji must wish that his nephews would be idle imperial relatives, not an important minister of the court, because he changed from an important minister of the court to the emperor back then, and Chen Ji knew too well about the most popular routine of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Therefore, as Fu Wei said, Chen Bogu's position in the service is very high, and Chen Bogu is far from being as easy to deal with as it seems.
"Shall we now?" Shen Jungao's eyes followed Chen Bogu's figure closely, although he was not the kind of narrow-minded person, but Chen Bogu's ignorance just now and his later provocation made him linger all the time.
"Doesn't this Chen Bogu want to come to Liwei, then you might as well see what means he has." Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "We just need to stop him at a critical time." Even if they can't stop him, someone will stop him. β
Shen Jungao was stunned: "There will be someone too?" β
"Your Majesty, whether you are filial piety or Gongmu, you will not watch from the wall." Li Xinchen explained while looking around, "Thinking about today's situation, maybe Your Majesty didn't expect it, but at least the Filial Piety Guild knows it, judging from the fact that Xiaomu Gong left Xu Jian just now, it can even be said that he has already started to do this now." β
And Zhou Qu also spoke slowly at this time: "Shi Zhongxian's nephew is true, Yu Xu Xiaomu will not watch his Jubaozhai being used by Chen Bogu, as for Your MajestyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· You and I are courtiers, it's not easy to figure out what to want. β
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, looked at the crowd around him, and then looked at the second floor.
If His Majesty wants to send someone without attracting attention, Princess Lechang should be the best choice, just like in the Stone Mountain Poetry Club before.
Thinking of the shadow that often hovered in his heart, Li Xinchen exhaled deeply, and unconsciously felt a little trance.
In an instant, there seemed to be a faint fragrance that he was familiar with.
What Li Xinchen didn't know was that the window of a private room on the second floor was slightly open, and a pair of bright water pupils silently looked at the crowd through the gap in the window.
A moment later, this gaze fell on Li Xinchen's body.
