"Shizhong, are you saying that once Fan Meng is frustrated, he is likely to hold a grudge against us?" Xiao Maha understood, frowned and said.

The cool river breeze poured in through the open window, stirring the sleeves of the three people, and the paper documents on the table were also rattling. This sudden river breeze made the three of them subconsciously shiver, but their shiver was not because of the cold of the river breeze, but because of the vibration of their hearts.

If Fan Meng did not get the command of the entire Huainan from the imperial court, it was very likely that he would have a grudge against His Majesty or Xiao Maha, thinking that Xiao Maha was making an obstacle, and when the time came, Fan Meng would get closer and closer to Chen Shuling.

Before, Xiao Maha was worried that Fan Meng would stand on Chen Shuling's side, and he could only hope that Fan Meng would also consider the entire family, but now once Chen Meng personally pushes it, I am afraid it will be unpredictable.

"Without further ado, now ask the general to repair a letter and send it to the East Palace, so that Shen Gong and them can deal with it at an opportune time," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "We are already on the river now, and we will pass through Jiankang Mansion in a while, and if there is any wind and grass in Jiankang Mansion, we may not be able to know it for a while, so we can only look at Shen Gong and them." ”

Xiao Maha nodded, this time Xiao Maha led the army to the west, once it succeeded, it means that the vast majority of Nan Chen's military strength will fall into the control of the East Palace, so the East Palace attaches great importance to this Western Expedition, otherwise the right guard general and the prince guard who were in charge of training recruits before would not even go home, and they would eat and live in the barracks.

It is precisely for this reason that Shen Jungao and the others have already been prepared, and they don't need these powerless scribes to follow them to fight on the battlefield, they only need them to deal with all the threats in Jiankang Mansion, so Xiao Maha believes that Shen Jungao and they should be prepared for the next possible move of Yangzhou Assassin History.

Now that Xiao Maha is leading the army on an expedition, even if there is really something in Jiankang Mansion, as Li Xinchen said, they can't take care of it.

"This time, I just don't know how Your Majesty will deal with it," Li Xinchen said after careful consideration, "No matter how we prepare, this is the key." ”

Jiankang Mansion Palace, Imperial Study.

Chen Ji has not started writing since Fan Meng's music was sent, his gaze is erratic, sometimes falling on the music, sometimes on the map, his brows furrowed, not a word.

Fan Meng's requirements are very simple and clear, Chen Ji was a general on the battlefield before he became the emperor, and it is impossible for him not to see Fan Meng's careful thinking. But now Chen Ji is still entangled and hesitating.

He didn't know whether Fan Meng's request was more ambitious, or really just more enthusiastic about power, if it was the latter, it would be good, but if it was the former, Chen Ji would have to weigh it.

Chen Ji was born as a military general, and he was killed with a knife and a shot on the battlefield in the first half of his life, so he is no stranger to this Fan family. The Fan family has been a generalist for generations, and these three generations have achieved higher and higher achievements from generation to generation, and even this generation is no longer limited to one person, Fan Yi and Fan Meng are the dazzling twin stars of the Fan family.

But sometimes both brothers are very good, which is not necessarily a good thing.

If the Fan family had influence and military power in the entire court, it was only Fan Yi who was the assassin of Jingzhou, or Fan Meng, the military governor of Liang County, Chen Ji would not feel that there was anything to pay special attention to, but now that these two positions are in the hands of the Fan family, just one may not be nothing, but the two together are enough to make Chen Ji worried.

The Fan family has come to this day step by step, is it just luck, or have they already had a detailed plan, but Chen Ji didn't notice it?

Looking at the families in the court, although the Xu family of Xu Ling and the Wu family of Wu Mingche are all great families that have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have reached the peak in their generation, but now it seems that both Xu Ling and Wu Mingche's descendants are not very competitive, and both families are thin, and if they want to continue to maintain today's glory in the future, I am afraid it is unlikely.

And the Fan family has a lot of heirs, and the two brothers are very outstanding, the Fan family is now just a vulgar martial arts family, but Chen Ji, who has seen the ups and downs of too many families, knows that over time, the Fan family will definitely be unlimited.

At that time, it will be the country of his descendants who will be threatened.

So from now on, Chen Ji must do something to stifle this sign, the Fan family can be used by Da Chen, but cannot become a replacement for Da Chen.

This kind of imperial mental technique, or the art of checks and balances, Chen Ji took Sun Quan, the Great Emperor of Wu of the Three Kingdoms, as an example. was able to sit in the position of the co-ruler of Eastern Wu at a young age, and finally became one of the emperors of Wu in the world, and no one could underestimate Sun Quan's ability.

And what really impressed Chen Ji was Sun Quan's ability to balance the Wu family, the Huainan family and the Jingzhou family in his lifetime, and even find a strategy of checks and balances between Wei and Shu.

Sun Quan's checks and balances proved to be successful, at least during his reign of Wu, although he faced the danger of being overwhelmed by large soldiers several times, the whole country never fell apart, and even showed the strength of unity again and again.

Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Ji muttered: "The art of checks and balances, the art of checks and balances······"

He slowly raised the brush and wrote a few lines on Fan Meng's recital: "The officer should make every effort to prevent the enemy of Huaixi, and not make my Huaixi defenseless because of the change of Zhongli." ”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ji propped his hand on the table and shouted, "Someone! ”

There was no sound.

And Chen Ji only came back to his senses at this time, he had just kicked out all the eunuchs, and he couldn't hear his voice clearly when he stood at the door, let alone those eunuchs standing outside the door.

Sighing deeply, Chen Ji was not in a hurry and continued to shout.

Counting it, Lechang's girl has never seen anyone since she broke in the rain last time, and she doesn't know where she is all day long, and she no longer drills into the imperial study from time to time like before.

Chen Ji somewhat regretted what he did that day, but what he regretted was not that he said something wrong, but that he regretted that he might have explained everything clearly to his daughter in a calmer tone.

But maybe then Lechang has no way to clearly understand everything, and some understanding and knowledge are not something that can be had overnight. So Chen Ji didn't blame Le Chang, even if Le Chang didn't understand it from beginning to end, Chen Ji would still regard her as his most distressed daughter.

The darkness of these worlds, Lechang understands best, and it may not be a bad thing not to understand, so let her spend her life in the beautiful world she has built, which is not impossible.

In addition to Lechang, it seems that Xu Ling has not entered the palace for some days.
