Chen Ji was also obviously stunned when he heard this title, but he quickly came to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Xu Ling.

Xu Ling seemed to feel the inquiry and temptation in Chen Ji's eyes, and greeted him without hesitation. This pair of monarchs and ministers who have been together for more than ten years looked at each other quietly, although they didn't say a word, but it seemed that a thousand words were expressed from the look in this look.

Wu Mingche cleared his throat and took a step forward, breaking the somewhat embarrassing and uncomfortable silence: "What Xu Xianggong said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Pei Ji also stood up without the slightest hesitation, at this time he didn't want to offend Xu Ling and Wu Mingche, as for Your Majesty······ Since being involved in the handling of this matter, Pei Ji did not expect to leave a good impression on Chen Ji.

What's more, Li Xinchen's rise has broken the balance of the world, and it is unknown who will kill the deer in the future, and Pei Ji has to weigh it, and even has to consider whether he should get some contact with the family in the north.

At least Pei Ji wanted to know what the attitude of the Northern Dynasty towards Li Xinchen was now.

Because at this time, many courtiers in the court of Nanchen found that they did not know what the peace treaty signed between Li Xinchen and Wei Xiaokuan was, because Li Xinchen only informed the court of the conditions for the conclusion of the peace treaty in the chapter, but no one knew if Li Xinchen and Wei Xiaokuan had any other unspoken peace treaties.

After all, some important things stay verbal, if Li Xinchen and Wei Xiaokuan reach any verbal agreement, then Li Xinchen can not tell the Nanchen court at all, because such a verbal agreement is unfavorable to the Nanchen court, and Li Xinchen can't tell the court everything.

Especially now the relationship between him and Chen Ji is already on the same level, so Li Xinchen is very likely to form an agreement with the Northern Zhou, which is what Pei Ji is more interested in.

Once the Northern Zhou Dynasty's attitude towards Li Xinchen changed, Li Xinchen could free up his hands to deal with the Southern Chen court wholeheartedly.

This person's grasp of people's hearts has been perfected, not to mention that many courtiers in the Southern Chen court have already wavered, and even Xu Ling and Wu Mingche and Li Xinchen have been inextricably linked.

Once Li Xinchen wants to deal with the imperial court with all his might, there is a chance that His Majesty will be the only one who will stand up to face the battle, and he will be a confused prince. But who can know how long His Majesty, who is already showing an old state, can support it, and who can know whether His Royal Highness the Prince, who only knows how to play in the mountains and rivers, can support the overall situation of the world after His Majesty a hundred years later, especially the relationship between the ministers of the East Palace and Li Xinchen, whom the prince can trust, is not bad.

At that time, how Shen Jungao and Xiao Maha and others will choose may still be a problem.

Pei Ji was not naïve enough to think that once Li Xinchen had the upper hand, these civil and military generals and officials in Nanchen would still be able to guarantee their loyalty to the imperial court. After all, in the past three hundred years, the Southern Dynasty has changed dynasties several times, and the most important thing is the minister of the dragon.

Chen Ji slowly sat back in his position and sighed softly: "Okay, that's it." As for the specific reward of gold and silver silk, Xu Aiqing has worked hard. ”

This is the first time that Chen Ling has called Xu Ling "Aiqing" after the obvious discord between the monarchs and ministers between Xu Ling and Chen Ling, and the entrustment of Xu Ling here is naturally self-evident, perhaps this is also Chen Ling's last test for Xu Ling, if Xu Ling can complete this task, he should still be able to gain a foothold in the court, but if Xu Ling retreats to Li Xinchen step by step, and then Chen Ji will definitely consider reshuffling the court, at least Xu Ling, the left servant, is going to be marginalized.

It's just that Chen Ji's meaning was clearly expressed, but Wu Mingche and Pei Ji both showed a touch of worry on their faces. Although the words are said to be like this, everyone knows what kind of situation the government and the opposition in Nanchen are facing inside and outside now, such internal and external troubles are rarely faced by Nanchen since the founding of the country, and the last time should be the Huajiao Rebellion nine years ago.

However, at the time of the Huajiao Rebellion, Chen Ji was still in the prime of life, personally sitting on the front line, Xu Du, Wu Mingche, Huang Fayan and other generals were full of talents, but today, only Wu Mingche is left alone, and Chen Ji is also dying, at this time Nan Chen can no longer find a young and promising monarch and a group of generals in their prime to deal with such a crisis.

Therefore, standing in Xu Ling's position now may not be a good thing, once Xu Ling leaves, at least Pei Ji asked himself that he would not rush forward before seeing the situation in the world clearly, as for the rest of the courtiers who did not know much about the situation, Pei Ji also believed that they knew that they had a few catties and taels, and they would definitely not take over this burden easily.

Under one person and above ten thousand, it is certainly an honorable position and the trust of His Majesty, but everyone has to think about what they will face next······

Even Pei Ji and Wu Mingche felt that Xu Ling, an old fox, was now eager to be able to hand over this tricky burden to others.

After all, Xu Ling had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction and resistance to Chen Ji several times before this, and this was an attitude that Xu Ling, who had assisted Chen Ji for many years, rarely showed. Of course, Pei Ji and Wu Mingche were not naïve to think that Xu Ling's persuasion was unsuccessful as rumored in the market, and they had a conflict with Chen Ji.

With Xu Ling's temper, this kind of thing is not impossible, but it will definitely not last so long, Xu Ling did it so deliberately, which shows that he is already worried about this position on his body, and as for sending his eldest grandson Xu Deyan into Bashu to join Li Xinchen's command, it shows that this old fox has long been prepared.

Xu Ling exhaled deeply and arched his hand towards Chen Ji: "Minister, obey the order!" ”

Seeing Xu Ling and the three of them retreat, Chen Ji slowly leaned on the dragon chair behind him, the ruler of Nan Chen's power looked much older, and the whole person was curled up in the corner of the dragon chair.

The attendants and palace maids in the main hall had been retired before, so only Chen Ji was alone, lonely and lonely.

The rays of the setting sun shone in through a layer of tissue paper at the gate of the main hall, and the sunlight sprinkled on Chen Ji's face, making Chen Ji squint, and the sunlight quickly dissipated, and the entire empty hall fell into darkness and silence.

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Ji's face was once again illuminated by a faint light.

Princess Lechang held the candlestick in her hand, and looked at her father who was shrunk in the corner of the dragon chair in surprise, and the expression on her pretty face was already frozen.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand and pushed Chen Ji, and then turned back to the maid behind her and shouted: "Quick, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”
